This is the third chapter of a ten-chapter story.
We resume the story from Chapter 2, when Mr. Criens took Sally to a party filled with fancy people. Entertainment was provided by a live band and a hypnotist, and one of the women, Susan, was hypnotized into performing sexual favors for any man holding the right kind of playing card.
*******
I watched Suzanne fuck with the same fascination people have when they see a gory traffic accident at the side of the road. It was curiosity mixed with erotic horror. A hand grabbed my wrist and I looked to see and happily it was Mr. Criens. He led me out of the room, even as I saw a line of men brandishing playing cards all queued up and patiently waiting their turns with Suzanne. That could have been me. I shivered.
I was happy to be saved from such a fate as men hungrily gazed at my body, which until recently had been half naked in my revealing lingerie. Being 23 at a party where the next youngest woman, Suzanne, was 30 years old, made me kind of stand out. I was well aware of this. I felt like I should have worn my hair in pig tails with bobby socks and a school uniform!
As Mr. Criens led me through the halls of the mansion-like apartment I thanked him for rescuing me. I knew Jerry was no charlatan and that I had been at least partially hypnotized, but I hoped Mr. Criens did not know. My blowjob had almost been erased from my mind as part of the hypnosis. I had seen Suzanne give hers, of course, but I was almost unaware of what I had done!
"Suzanne was really hypnotized!" I said. "Am I doing okay in my attempts to play along?"
"You're doing great. You look great, too," Mr. Criens said.
I looked at myself and gasped. My dress was seriously unzipped. How had that happened? I quickly zipped it back up. Even zipped up as far as it would go it was not an especially modest dress. For example, even zipped up I was showing a goodly amount of cleavage. "Thank you," I said, blushing just a little.
"Let's go in this room. We'll get some privacy there, and I'll tell you my plans for you," Mr. Criens said.
Uh-oh, I thought. Here is where I find out I have to put out for Mr. Criens in order for Mark to keep his job. Will he want me to do it now? Can I actually cheat on Mark that way? I'm doing it for Mark, to save his job, but still...I know Mark sleeps with Maria whenever he can, but it's different for wives, right? After all, it's the wives who get pregnant. Of course, I have an IUD, so...Oh shit, I don't know!
Mr. Criens closed the door. "I want you to seduce Jack Taylor and begin an affair with him," Mr. Criens said.
I was not expecting this! I stared at Mr. Criens, disbelieving. I had been debating with myself if I could sleep with Mr. Criens, and now he springs this on me?? "Jack Taylor, the CEO of Genomeds?" I asked.
"Yes, him. He's here tonight. He's the one wearing the navy-blue blazer and the striped pink shirt," Criens said.
I had in fact noticed him. He was handsome, but old! "He must be over 50!" I said. He was more than twice my age. He was older than my Dad.
"He's 56. Is that a problem? You've slept with older men before, Sliggins," Mr. Criens said.
I was stunned. "How...? What...?" I had to pause for a minute to gather my wits about me. "How do you know about the nickname Sliggins?" I asked. I also wanted to ask how he knew I had slept with men older than 56. Did he know about my sordid past with some of the male friends of my parents? There was no way he could know about that! The oldest one was around 60, and I was 18 at the time.
It was exciting to have sex with them all, I have to admit. It was during my first period of the tingling at the back of my brain and becoming sex crazed, which lasted around six months before the craziness suddenly left. During that time, I had sex on almost a daily basis. I wasn't an idiot. I knew the sociology of a high school, and I could not have wanton sex with all the boys at my high school, much as many of them would have loved it.
During this period of my tingling head, I felt as if I needed constantly to have sex, and I was attracted, drawn, to every man who came across my path. The old men saved me from becoming the most infamous slut of my high school in history.
Yes, the safe move was to seduce mature men, ones who could enjoy my body and keep it a secret. They didn't really keep it a secret however, and their entire social group (except for my parents) knew of my promiscuous nature, my easy availability, for any kind of sexual activity any of them wanted. At the end of the six months, there was not a friend of my parents, nor a friend of the friends of my parents, who did not know about my easy slut nature. Many of them even had carnal knowledge of me.
At the time, I had kept wondering when someone was going to tell my Dad. How would he react? Anger? Or would he want a piece of my ass too? Nobody ever spilled the beans to my parents, though. They just spilled their seed, hee hee. One thing at a time, though.
"Oh, Sally," Mr. Criens said, as if explaining something to a child. "I of course had Paul Hake take a look into your past. I've even seen the videos of your Freshman year. I know what you're capable of when you're drunk, and believe me, it's impressive! That's not the point though. You are super sexy, and you can back it up. You're also a dynamite forensic accountant. How good are you at hacking?"
"I'm good. I'm considered to be very good," I said.
"That's what Paul said, too. Sally, you're a woman of many talents. You're perfect. I need you to have an affair with Taylor and find out what's going on with their new blockbuster drug in development. It's working title is Rivonine," Criens said.
"An affair?" I said. "You mean sex and everything, in a sustained way?"
"I love a smart girl. Yes, of course," Criens said.
"I can't do that. I'm married, remember?" I said. I thrust my wedding ring in his face.
"I've arranged that. Not only have I saved your husband Mark's job, but I've given him a huge promotion. He's to be a Vice President of our Singapore operations. He leaves at the end of next week. You won't have to make any excuses to him. Maria will miss him, I'm sure, but she'll make do," Criens said, smiling at my apoplexy about how much he knew about our lives.
"No!" I said.
"No, what? You'll miss your husband? Trust me, you'll be busy and so too will he. His salary is doubling and I've arranged with the Temp Agency to release you and you'll work for me. Your salary will be 200k/year, plus bonuses, of course. That's a lot better than the 65k you're making with the Temp Agency."
