My wife, Ellie, began to get restless about eighteen months after the birth of our second child. Our friend, Charles, was engaged. He had ended his import/export business so rarely visited. Robert was engaged. I suspected Ellie rarely saw him except when we met him and his fiancé for dinner or at the occasional party. Frank and Liz had divorced and each had remarried.
Our life had moved to a new normal. All the commitments required to care for a small baby, such as nightly feedings, seemed to heighten with now having two young children. Yes, childcare kept us busy. However, Ellie returned to a full-time schedule at her business once we felt comfortable enrolling our new toddler in daycare.
I don't think I had mentioned that Ellie co-owned a business specializing in women's shoes and hats. Her partner, Karen, had contacts in the fashion industry in LA, and they managed to secure a few lucrative distribution deals with smaller, independent designers. Karen and Ellie began displaying their merchandise at clothing trade shows that catered to the public, allowing them to sell directly to the public as well as making wholesale deals with other stores. They were not going to get rich, but the store made a profit and Ellie's income had allowed her to be a stay-at-home mom for a year and a half.
I knew she was starting to feel that itch. Ellie enjoyed her sexual freedom, and she was ready for new adventures as soon as the youngest moved to solid food and the occasional bottle. It had now been a couple of years without extracurricular sex.
Ellie and Karen bought a booth at a trade show at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside, California. It is a great place with lots of atmosphere and character. In the early 1980s, Riverside was a hot spot for prostitution, so the nightlife around the inn could be sketchy, especially with a trade show in town.
Ellie and Karen always dressed to show their legs, because shoes were their major product line. Women wear hats for special occasions and fun holidays, but they are not an everyday purchase. Sports shoes are their best sellers, but the profit margin is not large because of the fierce competition in the market. Everyone sells comfortable shoes but few carry the variety of sexy shoes that were their specialty. They may not be comfortable to walk in, but when Ellie put on a pair of her "fuck me" heels, nylon stockings, and a short skirt, she attracted male and female attention. She rarely wore pantyhose because the sight of a garter strap attached to nylons usually sealed a sale if a male was involved.
When they set up at the show, they were happy to find that they were next to some old friends. Brian and Beth were a husband and wife team who distributed lingerie—expensive, sexy lingerie and hosiery. They liked being adjacent to one another, because their product lines went together so well. As they had at past shows, they organized their side-by-side floor space so customers could walk freely between their displays. If someone bought a nice pair of shoes, they would usually want a nice pair of hose as well.
Ellie and Karen went to dinner with them that evening in Riverside after the show closed. Ellie called me later to say good night and to ask my opinion and get my blessing for a proposition Brian and Beth had put on the table over dinner. It seemed the show was slow. There was a good crowd but no one seemed to want to stop and browse. They had only made very few sales. If it continued at the same pace for the remainder of the show, both businesses would lose money.
"Brian and Beth asked if I would be their lingerie model," Ellie said. "They decided to give their usual model take time off for the rest of the show, because it is so slow. They thought they could pair some of their sexier outfits with our shoes and attract a crowd. They think a mature, good looking woman would be better than the nineteen year old college girl they hired."
"Well, I certainly agree with their opinion of you." I replied. "Just what would modeling entail?"
Ellie went on to explain that she planned to wear a red and black bustier that laced up her back like a corset creating a thin waist and exaggerated cleavage. The outfit would be complimented with black stockings and red sandal-style high heels with straps over the ankles. Black French-cut panties would complete the lingerie. The trade show managers approved the outfit with the addition of a short red skirt, flared out to reveal the tops of her stockings and garter straps.
"Wow!" I stammered. "I'm sorry I will miss seeing that."
"I take that as approval." Ellie laughed. "I get to keep any outfits I wear, so I will give you a private showing when I get home."
"I'm looking forward to that." I replied.
"I figured you would approve." Ellie went on. "After dinner, Karen and I went back to their room. Brian suspected I would agree, and he guessed my size. Beth asked me to try the outfit on to make sure everything fit. You know these old rooms are rather small. I thought Brian was going to bust his zipper when I started undressing in front of him. There wasn't really any other choice. Karen helped me with the laces while Beth made sure it sat properly on my body, especially around my breasts. I don't think Brian could decide whether he should watch Karen seating my boobs properly in the bra cups or look at my waxed pussy. You should have seen him grin when I raised my legs putting on the stockings and attaching the garters. I couldn't resist giving him a show, and Beth was laughing at his reaction the whole time. The panties and skirt went on last. The high heels I was wearing didn't go with the outfit, but I have the right pair at our sales booth. I was tempted to go down to the bar to judge reactions, but not dare without the proper heels."
"You will call me tomorrow night to let me know how the day went?" I asked, trying not to sound like I was begging.
"Of course I will," she cooed. "I might call you once or twice during the day as well."
I had difficulty sleeping through the night thinking about how she would put herself on display the next day. I hoped it would result in better sales and help make her show profitable. I knew she would be turned on all day. Ellie loved men and women watching her, and I often marveled at how far she would push dressing sexy in her store at home.
Ellie called me on my lunch hour knowing I was likely eating alone in my office. She was excited and wanted to share how her day was going. I listened as she began.
"Karen and I woke and shared a shower this morning." Ellie began. "I needed to take the edge off my excitement. Karen knows how to touch me in the right places to work me to a mild orgasm. You know, soaping my boobs, lathering my butt, and cleaning my vulva with that light touch of her soapy fingers across my clit. A deep kiss and feel of her body rubbing against mine made my body begin to convulse. She knows when to just hold me and allow the tingling to spread out from my vagina until my toes curl and my eyes roll behind closed lids. We dried each other. I put on one of those fluffy robes they have in the closets and answered the door for room service while Karen dressed. After we ate, Karen helped me into my outfit. I didn't think it would be a good idea to walk down to the show without matching shoes, so I wore the robe over my clothes. The tingling between my legs started again as I walked through the hallway. The robe made it appear that I might be naked except for my heels and stockings."
