One Year Later
The chat room was a little dormant for a while. I got a text from Burton one afternoon that he and my wife would be back online that evening. She was going to work late with Burton. That was fine, he had held up his side of the bargain and told me what was going on. I couldn't complain. I texted back that I planned on seeing him at the hotel.
It was late that evening before she came home. I was in my recliner. Pam went straight into the kitchen. I hadn't bothered to look up. I heard her speak from the kitchen.
"Are you OK?" she asked.
"I will be," I replied.
She nodded and came back with the bottle and her filled glass. Sitting next to me this time, she refilled my glass and turned to look at me with those doe-like eyes.
I was soon sitting in my recliner with a laptop. I had this image of the two of them in Burton's office each with a laptop getting ready to play sexting games. I was at a bit of a loss. Why would they opt for sexting instead of just copulating on the couch as I expected them to do.
Apparently, Burton's need to play group games was the root cause. There were three new screen names in the private room. I logged in as well and sat silently watching. As I suspected, it was another fantasy gangbang. It was, in fact, rather boring. I logged off and turned on a John Wayne movie and settled in for the evening.
When she got home, she had been a little glassy eyed. I asked her if she was ok, and she giggled. Something was definitely off about her reactions. She came into the den, lifted my laptop and set it on the side table, and climbed up on the recliner. She put her knees on either side of my legs and sat on my lap facing me. I put down my beer and looked at her.
"I think you need to take me upstairs and put me to bed."
"What's the matter. Didn't Burton give you everything you needed."
She looked almost hurt.
"He was good. But I still need you to touch me and do what you do. I missed that for a long time. We need to do more of it."
Who was I to complain? She stepped back off the recliner and I got up, took her hand and we headed upstairs. The sex was routine. There was no love there on my side. I did what she wanted and then rolled over and went to sleep.
Several days later Burton texted me and asked if I would like to get a drink. I answered back sure, and we made the arrangements. I found him already at the bar and I was ten minutes early. He saw me come, smiled and waved. I stopped at the bar and got a beer before heading his way.
Once I sat down, he didn't waste any time on pleasantries. He launched right into what was on his mind.
"I just got off the phone with a real estate agent. They were calling past clients of the Airbnb. That property is about to go on the market, and they are calling to solicit offers."
"How much?"
"Three and a half million. That includes the house and 135 acres with a creek on it."
"Burton, you know enough about me to know that I don't, nor will I ever have that kind of money."
"No no.... I know and understand. But I do that kind of money. I closed a huge deal with a multinational corporation a couple of weeks ago. Just that one contract more than doubled all the other business I have on the books. I have got to find some places to put that kind of money to avoid some of the taxes. I was thinking that I could buy that place and use it as an Airbnb like the previous owners."
I shook my head.
"If it was such a good deal, the previous owners wouldn't be selling it. It's only attractive during hunting season to people who want to be onsite to hunt. It's too far off the beaten track to be attractive to vacation goers and not close enough to anything to attract business travelers."
"Yeah. I know all that. But what if I leased it to you for say $100 a month. You could use it for training retreats."
"I have no interest in running a business, even a sham business. If you want that property look at it as an investment pure and simple. Land is always going to go up. If you have the ready cash just do that and sit on it. Find someone to act as caretaker and let them stay there as part of the salary. If you want to use it occasionally, no one will be the wiser."
"I had already sort of figured that out."
"Then why the fuck are you asking me about financial advice. You are way better at that than I am. What else is going on."
"Your wife has been talking about another weekend adventure."
I took a deep breath.
"What is her interest this time?"
Burton had a gleam in his eye this time.
"She wants to be a spy or military officer or something that is being tortured to give up military secrets. You are good at this kind of thing. I know I am supposed to tell you about it and all the details. I have told you what I know. What I would like for you to do is set the whole thing up. I am going to buy that property. I think it will work well."
I nodded. Now my mind was working overtime. My wife not only was proving to be a slut, but she also was beginning to show unmistakable signs of being a masochist as well. This was one of the things I was watching for. I knew that any kind of addiction usually escalated over time.
"Tell me more about this scene she wants to play out."
Burton took a swallow of his mixed drink and then took a deep breath.
"We played it out in the chat room not long ago."
"I remember."
"She read a story on Literotica about a female spy who was caught and tortured by an enemy government and forced to reveal secrets about her mission, what she had found, and who she worked for. She apparently found another story where something similar happened and a woman was given the chance to win a large sum of money if she could manage to keep from giving up a code to a lock box for several hours."
"I have read that sort of stuff. It can be fun in fantasy but could get out of hand very quickly depending on the setting, the possible reward, and the people involved. I also would want to vet the people you are going to invite."
"Well. That's another thing. She only wants you and I to do this one."
My eyebrows went up and I am sure a look for total surprise came across my face.
"Really?"
Burton looked almost embarrassed.
"She said that she trusted you but that she wanted it to be as real as possible."
"What do you think she means by that."
"I think we all three need to sit down and talk."
"I think you are probably right. Yor schedule it when it is the most convenient for you and we'll talk."
We chatted for a while longer. Burton had to get back to the office to meet with a client. As he was getting ready to leave, I asked where my wife was. He grinned.
"If I am paying her 1500 a month. The sex is great, but I need to justify that money on the company books. I have her working. She is turning out to be quite useful."
I laughed out loud.
"Good for you. Just watch her that she doesn't take a liking to one of your other agents."
He nodded in agreement and headed back to the office.
I sat and had another beer thinking about this proposition.
&&&&&
Burton called and asked if I could meet after closing time at his office. I arrived a few minutes early and the office was quiet and dark. Burton came out, opened the door and then locked it behind us. I followed him to his office. My wife was there. She got up and gave me a kiss and then sat back down. Burton too his place behind his desk and I took a seat on the couch. I didn't say anything. Burton looked at my wife and then began.
"I told you the basic premise. I'll let Pam continue."
I looked at my wife and waited.
"Um. Arnie. I want to do another fantasy weekend. Burton, I think, told you what I have been thinking about."
"Yes. But I still have lots of questions. First and foremost is 'why me?"
Her eyes dropped.
"Burton told me about how you planned the other weekend. That it was you who was directing things, and you who were giving the suggestions. Thinking about that still turns me on. At first, when I found out I was livid that you would do such a thing. That and the deal you were offering really got me angry. Then Burton made me see that what you offered was the best alternative given the situation. I didn't want a divorce either."
I nodded.
"I read several stories about similar fantasies, and I came up with one that really excites me."
"Ok. Lay it out for me?"
"I have asked Burton if he will put $20,000 in a lockbox. I will set the combination and I will be the only one that knows the combination. Then you and Burton have 24 hours to try and get me to give up the combination. If you can force me to give it up, you and Burton split the $20,000. If I can resist, I get the $20,000."
"That sounds dangerous. You know as well as I do that with no restrictions, I could make it so bad that you couldn't resist. I don't think you are as big a masochist as you think you are. I can do things to you that would have you screaming the code in minutes."
