"Are you sure this is safe?" Cathy asked Trish. "I mean, having this around seems pretty risky."
"Don't worry," Trish said, sitting in front of Cathy's computer, her attention more on the screen than on her friend's question. "That's why I'm setting this up for you. You won't keep any of this in your PC. I'm setting you up to get into a server where you can keep it all. You can access it any time you want and there's nothing actually on your computer for your husband to stumble across. It's all password protected too, just in case you were worried about that." Trish clicked a few things on the screen as Cathy watched, still doubtful.
"I have to tell you," Trish said as she continued to click away. "You were incredible again. I watched both blow jobs about five times each. You really do love it, don't you?"
"Uh, yeah," Cathy said, still much more concerned with what Trish was doing with the computer.
"My favorite part was at the very end when you thanked him! That was priceless." Trish frowned at the screen, typed a few characters and clicked again. She turned to Cathy. "And you were sincere. You were grateful to him for cumming in your mouth. That was great."
Cathy hadn't thought about it, didn't even remember doing it, but if she had, she had meant it. It had been good, like it had been back in her college days.
There was, however, some underlying tone in Trish's voice. Cathy wasn't sure what it was, but it wasn't anything good. Was Trish insulting her? Mocking her? Looking down on her?
It didn't seem to be anything that strong, but still there was something there. Cathy recalled several instances over the last couple of weeks where Trish and Tracy had been at each other. Cathy wasn't sure what the true root of it was, but it seemed to stem from the whole sex and video arrangement. There was some sort of bitterness in Trish that Cathy had never seen before. Not like this, anyway.
In their regular gossip sessions, Trish could be rather scathing in assessment of others. But she had usually done so in a humorous context. Sure, what she was saying could be construed as vicious, but mostly the two of them just laughed about it. Now Cathy was seeing hints of the same thing, but without the humor. And it wasn't directed at a third party, but rather right at her and Tracy.
"Okay, here you are," Trish said, nodding toward the computer screen. "You have all the videos here in the server. Eventually, I'm going to set up a shared server for the three of us, but for now you'll have to upload new ones from disks. I'll burn copies and give them to you. You'll upload them on here and then destroy the disk." Trish ran through the process once, then had Cathy do it once herself. It was simple enough and Cathy quickly got the gist of it.
Cathy still had concerns though. She didn't bother talking to Trish about it. Trish would insist there was no chance of discovery and would talk down to Cathy. No, Cathy would wait until she left and call Tracy . In the meantime, there was still Trish's bitterness to delve into.
"So did you really call Tony and tell him not to fuck Tracy? Tell him to have her give him a blow job?" She asked.
"Yeah," Trish said with a snort. "She thought it was so funny that I had to suck Ed's dick."
"So you called Tony to get even?" Cathy didn't like the sound of Trish's voice. Trish didn't seem to think there was anything even mildly wrong with what she had done.
"I know she doesn't like sucking dick either. She could have been a little more sympathetic."
"If she did something else to make you mad," Cathy asked, "would you do it again?" It was a power that Trish had over Tracy and could just as easily hold over Cathy. What would happen if Cathy did something to anger Trish?
"Oh, I think she's learned her lesson," Trish replied. Her words had an air of finality about them, as if there was no doubt that the situation could never occur again. Trish obviously had not considered that Cathy might feel vulnerable to the same kind of retaliation.
"So what's happening with you and Ed now?" Cathy was wondering if it was wise to pry into this delicate matter. But she was very curious and also it would be better to test Trish's limits early on, before she got too used to her extramarital pleasures. Trish did shoot her a suspicious glance before answering, Cathy noticed.
"Not much," Trish replied dryly. "He still tries to use the video as leverage, but it's not as effective as it was. There was a point I really thought he might divorce me and, with that video, he would have me nailed to the wall. I'd lose big, I'm sure. But now," Trish shrugged, "he's made it obvious that he doesn't really care about me or what I do. As long as I give him a bj once in a while."
"But I thought..." Hadn't Trish said she was blowing him several times a week.
"That I had to blow him almost daily?" Trish finished for her. Cathy nodded. "Yeah, I say it so I can see Tracy 's reaction. So far she's been smart enough to keep from laughing in my face again. But we know what'll happen if she fucks up. Maybe it'll be a month on her knees next time." Trish flashed a sour smile. It made Cathy's stomach flip-flop.
"Why's it so big a deal?" Cathy pressed. "I mean, so what if she laughs. It's not like we aren't all getting something good out of this, right?"
Trish turned and faced Cathy, looking directly into her eyes. Cathy was a little surprised by the intensity of her gaze.
"I don't like having to do it. It pisses me off. Yeah," she said with a wave of her hand toward Cathy's computer, "I kinda like seeing it afterward. But that doesn't change the fact that I don't like doing it."
" Tracy doesn't like it either," Cathy replied. "But I don't think she would do something to hurt someone else over it."
" Tracy has her issues with it," Trish said. "But for the most part, she's okay with it. Maybe the taste of cum puts her off a little. Maybe she'd rather get laid. But that's all it is for her."
"So why's it so different for you?" Now Cathy was genuinely curious.
"It's the power thing," Trish said simply, as if that explained everything. Cathy looked at her, uncomprehending. "You give a man power. You're being his servant. I don't think there's a man on this planet that has the right to stand over me, stick his cock in my face and tell me to suck it."
"Wow," Cathy didn't really think of it as a negative thing, being a man's servant in that context. Not that she didn't understand Trish's point of view, it just wasn't a problem from Cathy's perspective. "So every time Tony makes you do it, it's like... like... an insult or something?"
"Insult?" Trish raised an eyebrow. "No. Well, maybe. It's humiliation is what it is. You'll notice that anymore he always wants me on my knees while he's standing. He'll let you blow him on the sofa and Tracy 's done him in bed and on the sofa and other places. But not me." Trish gave a significant look to Cathy. "He knows. He knows that more than anything I don't want him standing over me. He knows I hate to be on my knees, like I'm groveling or something. So that's what he does."
"That's what really puts you off about it?" Cathy asked. She wasn't really surprised. Trish was a bossy, take-charge type. Any challenge to her authority would likely ruffle her feathers. To submit to what amounted to humiliation in her mind was especially difficult.
"That's the biggest thing," Trish said. "But the rest of it's not so pleasant either. The taste of cum and the swallowing, that's pretty fucking bad too. And just knowing that he's enjoying it all the more because I don't like it... How the hell am I supposed to feel about it? Seeing that shit-eating grin of his and knowing I'm going to have that taste in my mouth for hours?"
