First a little about us β we were the typical double income, no kids couple in our mid-thirties. We both had high pressure, well-paying jobs that kept us very busy. Good health was important to us so even though we traveled a lot for our jobs, we made sure we ate right and got to a gym about 3 times a week. Between our jobs and the gym, we didn't have much time for being a couple.
That all changed one Christmas Eve. It has been a tradition for a number of years to spend an early Christmas Eve with Susan's family having a pot luck dinner and exchanging gifts. Then everyone runs home to get ready for the big day. Although Susan and I do not give each other gifts Christmas Eve we do get them from other members of the extended family so I was not surprised when a few gifts were placed in front of us.
The last one I opened was just a large envelope β in it were two tickets on a flight to Las Vegas that was scheduled to leave in a later that evening. There was also a note that said this was Susan's gift to the two of us β and not to worry, because she was taking care of everything. It said our bags were packed and in the trunk of the car, all we needed to do was head to the airport when we left the family get together. I was flabbergasted and speechless.
We arrived in Vegas and a car was waiting to take us to our mini suite in the Paris Hotel. After we checked in we took a walk across the street to watch the famous fountains at the Bellagio. We then strolled back to our room and were so exhausted we just went to sleep. By the time I got up the next morning Susan was already up, and informed me that she had our day planned. I wonder if she could see the disappointment in my face β I just wanted to relax, perhaps take in a show and if I was lucky finally have some time and energy for sex, but I just smiled and said OK. Oh, if I had only known what was in store for me the smile on my face would have been much bigger.
Her plans included a nice breakfast and then some shopping β ok kind of saw that coming, but not what she said next. You see I like to gamble, however Susan does not. So I was amazed when she told me that after lunch I was free to go over the Bellagio and get in on the daily poker tournament. She told me that I would need to dress nicely since she would meet me at the Hyde Bar (which overlooks the fountains) at 7:30 and that we had dinner reservations for 8:15 at the Prime Steakhouse. Susan went on to tell me that she was going to spend the day in the Spa. I started to think the day will turn out OK after all.
Overall I was pleased with my play at the poker table but made a mistake during one hand that cost me getting to the final table. I got to the bar early at 7, but figured I could amuse myself, and I was right. I positioned myself at a small table where I could see both the fountains and the entrance to the bar. There were pretty women dressed to impress everywhere. I did enjoy the wait, a cold drink and watching beautiful women.
After I glanced at my watch to check the time I was shocked to see it 7:29, Susan is a time nut, never late and most of the time at least 10 minutes early. As I was looking at my watch I realized that it had suddenly gotten quieter than it had been. I looked up and immediately realized what caused the sudden hush over the room.
Standing just inside the entrance to the bar was a vision of pure sexuality, a tall woman with dark hair up in a stylish bun. She was wearing a red evening dress unlike any that I have seen before; the top was more like the top of a sexy red dress with a strap over each shoulder and exposing voluptuous cleavage. The front right of the gown was slit all the way up to just below the waist. Standing and walking the woman's entire nicely shaped tan leg was visible. And the shoes β oh the shoes, strappy black high heel sandals but with a twist β the straps continued part way up her calf. For a brief moment I thought I was looking at Susan β but I quickly realized it could not be. It only kind of looked like her and there is no way Susan would dress like along with the fact she never wore her hair like that. I chalked it to wishful thinking.
The Lady in Red took a moment to scan the room and then sauntered over to a table with a single gentleman. I am sure I was not the only guy in the room that was thinking "lucky stiff". Oh wait β the Lady in Red scanned the room again and appears to have her eyes set on a single guy on the other side of the room. At least we get to watch her strut across the room β oh so very nice.
Time to leave my fantasies behind and get back to reality β it was now about 7:35 and Susan was late. I pulled out my phone and was typing up a message when I noticed the Lady in Red approaching my table. I put down my phone as I watched her close the distance to me and started to realize that I am one lucky man, it was my dear wife Susan.
As she neared the table I stood and noticed more than a few guys looking my way and I am sure hoping that she would leave my table as she did a couple of times and perhaps approach them. Before I could say anything she said
"Hi I'm Emily, an old college friend of Susan's. You must be her husband, Jim. Susan gave me this note for you."
OK I figured I should play along, I said "nice to meet you" and walked over to pull her chair out. As I held her chair out for her to sit down, I could not keep my eyes off her chest. My wife has a good sized chest, but I swear it must have grown a couple of cup sizes (not that I was complaining). I almost tripped over myself getting back to my chair and sitting down, if I was not mesmerized by the cleavage, the long leg and sexy black heel got my attention.
When I finally got myself sat back down and opened the note, I read silently:
My Darling Husband β
I am coming down with one of my migraines and did not want to ruin your day. Luckily my old, dear friend Emily lives in Vegas and since she was not working tonight agreed to keep you company. Emily knows how to have a really good time so please feel free to enjoy all she has to offer.
Your Loving Wife
OK then, I have to say all of this was really starting to get my head spinning. I had no idea what to expect and what might happen.
Susan and I have been married for a number years and over the past few years I had brought up the idea of some role playing at times to try to put some spice back into our sex lives, to no avail. Now we are sitting in a fancy bar in Vegas pretending we have just met for the first time. We really got into our parts and stated having a lot of fun, kind of like a first date with someone that you really hit it off with. I must say I was really impressed with how fully Susan had worked out the history of the friendship between herself and Emily, along with the whole persona and life of Emily.
It was time to head on over for our dinner reservations. Of course I got up and walked over to pull out Emily's chair. As soon as the Lady in Red moves, guys watch. There was this one guy that was totally gawking, and it was clear that the woman he was with was not at all happy. Obviously Emily picked up on this right away. As we were starting our walk, she handed me her little purse and asked that I hold it for her, and steered us by their table. OK, sure no problem. What happened next was a sight to behold.
Emily stopped right in front of their table, excused herself a pulled out the empty chair sitting next to the gentleman. She then lifted her leg and planted her sandal clad foot squarely on the chair. Slowly and with an evil grin she bent over at the waist and started to adjust the straps on her sandal, of course this also gave the guy an incredible view of her cleavage. It really was not a surprise that the lady friend was not happy, she reached over and almost yanked the guy out of the chair and stormed out with him towards the door.
To say that all eyes were on the Lady in Red as we walked to the exit of the bar would be a complete understatement. It was clear that man and woman alike had a smile on their face after the couple stormed out of the bar.
Little did I know the night was still very young. We arrived at the Prime Steakhouse right on time for our reservation and soon were being lead through the crowded room. Of course the Lady in Red was getting a good deal of looks as we followed the hostess to our table. We were seated and Todd our server came by to introduce Henry. Henry is a kid that looked like he might be 21 and had recently started working there. Todd went on to say that Henry had been fully trained and will be our primary server, but he would keep an eye on things to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. It was clear that Todd was going to keep a close eye on us, well at least Emily if not us.
Todd departed and Henry asked if we would like any cocktails before dinner. The exchange went something like this β
Henry: "What can I get the lady tonight?"
Emily: "A mΓ©nage a trois."
Henry: (cough, cough) "Excuse me?"
Emily: "I really want, no need, a mΓ©nage a trois."
Poor Henry was at a total loss for words, and I decided I should try to help him out. I told him it was a drink and he should just tell his bartender. Henry thanked me and got my order and as he was turning to leave, Emily said "but he is cute, why do you think I wanted the drink and not a real mΓ©nage a trois?" We could see that he was blushing a little as he walked away.
Of course the torment of poor Henry was just beginning. When he returned with the drinks, Emily said "I just dropped my napkin," and asked if he would mind picking it up for her. He bent down and did not come right back up. Soon we heard, "Um, your foot is um, on it. Um, Um, can you lift your leg?" Emily smiled at me, waited a little and then shifted in her seat.
