I enjoy other men's wives. I enjoy single women too but there's something special about a married one. Of course, it's that taste of forbidden fruit, knowing that when she opens her arms -- and legs -- to you she is breaking those sacred vows and you are taking something that was promised to another man alone.
The only thing I can't decide is whether it's better if the husband knows or not. I remember a wedding last summer when some loud-mouth was bragging about a big deal he'd pulled off in the City, blissfully unaware that as his wife stood dutifully beside him my seed was trickling down her leg into the lacy tops of her stockings. It was there because fifteen minutes earlier she had been bent over the bed in my room upstairs, her red dress flipped up over her back as I emptied my balls into her. And I knew it was seeping down because her matching red thong was still in my pocket.
Or is it better if the poor guy knows you're bedding his wife and you can see the look of defeat in his eyes that comes from knowing his wife has picked you as a superior male. And knowing his last thought every day must be to wonder if the lips he's kissing good night were wrapped around your cock just a few hours earlier.
But the sweetest -- though the very rarest - is when the husband gets to watch his wife give herself to you. Which is why I was walking up the drive of a smart house in North London. I make my money in what you might call the credit control arm of the leisure sector and this was the home of Maurice Ross. He was quite a successful businessman, hence the house, but he was also a card player. As it happens he was quite a good card player, just not quite as good as he though he was, which explains why he owed us just over fifty grand. Normally we would not let a punter run up a tab like that but Maurie's game was import/export and there had been a time when we were trying to put together a little deal that we thought he might be able to help us with and a bit of extra leverage would not go amiss. But the deal fell through and now we wanted our money and Maurie was behind with the payments so I had come for a quiet word.
When Maurie answered the door his first reaction was shock and a quick glance over his shoulder. "Er, Steve," he said. "Um, it's not really conveni......" I ignored him, shot him a crocodile smile and said: "Evening, Maurie. Mind if I come in?" and gave the door a firm, steady push. That forced Maurie back into the hallway and I brushed past him just as Mrs Ross came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a tea towel and asking "Who is it, darling?" She was wearing a white blouse, black trousers and flat shoes. Her blonde hair was held back with an Alice band. She looked every inch the posh suburban wife.
I first met Sally Ross when we had a charity night at the club. All the regulars were there and most brought their wives or girlfriends. I noticed Maurie and his wife as soon as they came through the door. She was wearing a plain floor length blue dress, cut high at the throat and a simple pendant. In a room awash with fake tan cleavage and bling she was an island of sophistication and elegance. And I wanted her.
As she stepped into the hallway she said good evening and I replied: "Good evening, Mrs Ross. I just dropped by to have a word with Maurie. A small business matter."
She looked puzzled. "Business? On a Sunday evening? Wouldn't it wait until tomorrow?" then she looked a little more closely and added: "Haven't we met somewhere?"
I smiled again. "Yes, Maurice introduced us. At the Castle Club last summer."
She seemed to be trying to remember the club. "The casino?....." Then the penny dropped. Oh God, not again Maurice. How much this time?"
Maurie looked from one to the other of us before saying; "Oh it's nothing, darling, I can take care of it, won't you come into my study, Steve."
But she was having none of that and asked again in a dangerously firm tone "How much, Maurice?"
Maurie still tried to bluster so I helped him out by telling her that it was fifty grand and watched the colour drain from her face.
"My God, how could you be so stupid? You bloody idiot!" Then she turned to me and said: "We don't have that kind of money. You'll just have to wait."
I put on my most reasonable voice to tell her that we had already been exceptionally patient but even our patience must eventually come to an end and we wanted the money. Now I'll give her her due she was not going to let herself be intimidated in her own hallway by the likes of me, though many would be. I find that in my line of work it pays to have what you might call 'a bit of a presence' so I have a couple of sessions a week in a boxing gym off the Old Kent Road, working the bags and sparring. It makes life easier, because if you look like you can handle yourself most people tend to behave themselves. But Sally Ross had been to public school and was the daughter of a brigadier, no less. Like I said, posh.
She drew herself up and said: "How dare you come into my home threatening us! If you don't leave at once I'm calling the police" and began to head for the living room. Maurie did not know whether to be scared of me or proud of his wife so I leaned forward and quietly dropped my second bombshell on him. "Tasha might not like that."
Tasha was a trim little croupier who worked for us. We did not generally approve of staff fraternising with customers but, as I said, Maurie had been a special case so we let it go. I'd thought Maurie was already ashen but he somehow managed to go even whiter at the mention of her name and dragged his wife back insisting there was no need for the police. He'd have been whiter still if he knew that in return for a small bonus and promise that it would not end up on the internet, she had let me install a couple of cameras in her flat to capture Maurie's less-than-impressive performance for posterity. As I said, we were keen to have a bit of leverage over him.
Mrs Ross reluctantly came back, clearly recognising there was something going on here she did not understand and looking worried. At this point her hand went to a string of pearls at the throat of her white blouse. "Well, we don't have that kind of money available but I suppose I have some jewellery...."
Again it was time for my sincere voice as I told her that ours was a strictly cash business. I'd hate Maurie to report anything stolen to get the insurance money and find myself holding stolen property. And then came the opening.
"But there must be something...."
Bingo! But careful. There was still time for this to slip away. I allowed my gaze to drop down her body and then come back up to her face. "Oh I can see something I like very much, Mrs Ross, but I hardly think...."
For moment she was puzzled and then realised what I was insinuating. A flash of anger crossed her face and her hand came back to slap me. Thanks to all the boxing I think I could have gone into the kitchen and made myself a cup of tea and still had time to catch her arm which hit my palm with a meaty slap, followed by a small squeal from her. Unfortunately hearing his wife's little squeak made Maurie come over all Sir Galahad and he gallantly stepped towards me shouting: "Leave my wife alone". I've no idea what he thought he was going to do. He probably didn't know himself but just to be on the safe side I gave him a little tap in the midriff. It wasn't a hard punch, not really a punch at all but it was obviously a long time since Maurice had seen the inside of a gym and there was no resistance to my fist. The wind came out of him in a quiet wheeze and Maurie collapsed on the floor like a punctured balloon.
That brought another squeak from Mrs Ross and she flung herself over him like a protective mother bird, She looked at me with venom and spat out: "Leave him alone, you bastard." She tut tutted over Maurie as he frantically tried to find some air to put back in his lungs and then looked up at me with a little less defiance and added; "Please don't hurt him. He's not like you" I said nothing while she tried to think and Maurie slowly found some oxygen. She seemed to come to a decision.
"If I were to...," she began before drifting away. She took a deep breath herself and started again; "Supposing I were to let you, well you know, you promise not to hurt him? And then the debt would be paid.?"
