This story is just a little diversion from my first story series.
It revolves around a mature bank manager, his wife and daughter, as they cope with an invasion by a gang seeking access to the banks money
As usual comments are appreciated and welcome.
=================================
John was the manager of the local small town branch of a major bank, having moved there a year ago from New York in order to advance his career. He was 50, married to Janet, also 50, for over 25 years and they had one daughter, Lou, who was 18. Both ladies hated the small town and missed the fun and excitement of New York. They had even discussed leaving him there and moving back but decided to stay for the good of his career hoping that his success would lead to promotion back in the headquarters in New York.
While John worked Janet spent her time either at home or at coffee mornings and lunches with some of the wife's of his husband's colleagues. All of them were locally born and none had ever left their small town. The discussions revolved around rural life, children, cooking and other subjects of no interest to Janet. They also questioned her on the big city life asking stupid questions, asking a lot about celebrities as if the streets were full of them walking around freely. She did her best to be friendly to them but the fact was she was totally bored.
Their sex life had suffered a lot since their move. John was working very long hours which upset her even more, leading to long periods of her refusing him pleasure. In any event she had come to realise that he didn't really do it for her anymore. She often thought back to the fun she had in college before she met John, she had been an adventurous girl, never a one man girl, always ready to try new things. All that changed when she met John at a time when she was looking for security for the future rather than true love. This all came from her poor upbringing where, after her Fathers young death, she watched her mother bring up four children with very little resources. She had no intention of being in her Mothers position and when she met John, from a wealthy family, she chose security over excitement. That is not to say that she didn't love him; that came in time especially after the birth of their only child. When living in New York she was happy in their luxury house, their country club membership, all the good shops nearby. She had a large circle of friends that she lunched and drank with regularly, life was very good.
In their new life she often thought back to the good life they gave up. Her thoughts always included the two affairs she had, one with a Manager from the Country Club, the other with a friends husband. Though both didn't last long she had great memories of the fabulous hot sex and excitement. She looked in her mirror at her body dressed only in white lacy panties. One thing she had taken care of over the years was her body and she admired her trim tummy, long legs and generally fit looking body. She held up her 34D tits, impressed that they didn't fall too much when she released them. As she heard her husband finish his shower she put on her matching bra and sat at her make-up table.
John entered the bedroom, a towel around his waist. He looked at his wife seated in front of the mirror. He never failed to admire his wife, how she had kept her fit body after all these years. Looking at his own body he realised that he himself had not been as careful, seeing his flappy belly. When he looked in the mirror he saw a middle aged man looking back at him, bald head, stocky body, a long way from the fit guy he used to resemble a long time ago. Though of similar age anyone looking at both of them would think he was at least ten years older, perhaps even more.
He realised that his wife and daughter hated their new location but he was convinced that he could get a move back to New York if he continued to work hard and make their bank branch more profitable. He realised too that their sex life had become non-existent but what scared him was that it didn't bother him too much. He knew that Janet had married him for security but he didn't care as he loved her on his arm at official functions. He had heard of her sexual reputation at college but assumed that was just her in her youth and that she too was content with their life. After all they had one wonderful daughter. It disappointed him that they had not given her a brother or sister but it just never seemed to happen despite they having sex a couple of times each month.
Looking at his bedside clock he saw that it was almost 8pm, they were entertaining 2 new assistant managers and their wifes that evening in their home. He looked over at his wife, finishing her make-up, "It's almost 8 love, they'll be here in 30 minutes, I'm sure they'll be on time."
"No doubt they will, no one in this town would ever be late."
He looked at her, surprised at her response but said nothing, putting on his shirt and suit. He watched as she put stockings on, followed by a knee length red dress and heels. He was surprised at the stockings but said nothing, he assumed it made her feel good to wear them, she certainly looked very sexy in them.
"Where is Lou tonight?"
"She's going to the movies with some of her friends, she's going to stay over at Mary's place."
"That's good, she's making friends at last."
"Well I suppose we have to try, don't we."
Ignoring her comment he left the room going downstairs to check that everything was ready. He had hired in a cook and catering staff for the evening.
She watched him go, upset at herself for making any comment. Looking at herself in the mirror she thought she looked very good, thinking to herself, "Put your smiley face on girl, do your duty."
She left the bedroom just as the door bell sounded. He went to the door seeing that it was exactly 8.30. When he opened the door he saw that both couples had arrived together, seeing no car he assumed that they had come by cab.
"Welcome guys and your lovely ladies."
"Thank you Sir."
"No Sir tonight, its John as you well know, and this is my beautiful wife Janet, Janet this is James and Tony."
James, a tall black man of about 40, stood forward and shook her hand, introducing his also black wife, Tanya. Then Tony, a white guy in his 20's introduced his younger wife Liz.
"Let me take your coats guys," taking them to putting them in the cloakroom, before leading everyone into the large living room. Janet admired the two young couples, the guys were very fit and the ladies elegantly dressed in simple dresses and heels. It was obvious to her that the clothes were not expensive but were sexy in a girl next door kind of way. Both were bare legged not wearing hosiery of any kind. The guys wore suits with a shirt and tie.
"Now what can I get you to drink"
All chose wine and John asked the waiter to bring some. The talk was mainly about work between the guys with the ladies asking Janet about life in New York. It wasn't long before she was bored with the chat but she kept her happy face on, answering all their questions.
At 9pm dinner was announced and they all went to the dining room. Both couples were visibly impressed with the formal set up of the large dining table and Janet outlined where all should sit, herself and John at the heads of the table, the couples on either side. Janet was seated next to James on one side and Liz on the other. The size of the table meant that there was a lot of space from one end to the other.
James proved to be a good conversationalist, with a great sense of humour, poking some fun at their small town, obviously filled with ambition and desire to get out of there and to move to a bigger city. Janet surprised herself by enjoying the meal and the chat. James was flirting with both her and Liz and it amused Janet to see Liz blush a number of times at some of his remarks.
On the other side of the table John looked on as his wife and James seemed to be getting on well with a lot of chat and laughter going on. He listened to Tony going on about work as if it was all that mattered in life. Tanya was visibly bored by the conversation, instead joining in with her husband and the others more than engaging with him. The wine flowed generously with glasses topped up almost as soon as they had sipped even a little. He was pleased that his wife seemed to be enjoying the evening.
After dessert and coffee was served and finished they all left the table and went back to the living room. The caterers tidied up and left the house, leaving the three couples alone.
John continued serving drink, pleased with the evening, he stood in front of the blazing fire, facing the others.
"Guys, I'd like to say a few words. Tonight is all about congratulating James and Tony for their promotion to Assistant Managers. In the short time I've been here I have watched them closely and had no hesitation in recommending the two of you for the new roles. I look forward to working with you, maybe one of you will take over from me when I eventually head back to HQ, so can I ask you to raise your glasses, "To James and Tony","
As they clinked glasses they all turned around when hearing applause, alarmed when seeing four hooded guys with guns in their hands.
"That's a lovely speech Mr Manager, so welcoming."
"Who are you, what are you doing in my home?"
"Shut the fuck up, sit down" waving the guns towards the couches.
James took a step towards the obvious leader but was stopped in his steps with a butt of a rifle pushed into his tummy. As he bent over, the leader of the gang shouted for all to sit down, which all did quickly.
"What do you want?"
"What do you think we want, we have here the Manager and his two assistants of the local bank, access to lots of cash."
"We cannot access cash."
"Do you think we're stupid, between you all you have the keys and alarm codes we need."
"All the safes are time locked until the morning, we cannot access it."
"Do you not think we know that, we know much more than you could possibly think."
Turning towards his gang mates, "Check the house, make sure there is no one else here, Mrs Manager get some more drinks for your guests."
The leader was standing next to the bar as she walked over to get the wine bottles. She noticed how much he looked her up and down, the way he smiled at her as she passed him. She poured wine into all their glasses, making sure that James was ok by placing a hand on his shoulder and smiling at him.
When returning the bottles the leader looked at her, "Don't you worry about your black guy, as long as he behaves I won't hurt him, and that goes for all of you."
When she was seated the other guys returned to the room telling their leader that the house was clear.
"Where is your daughter?"
Looking alarmed John told them that she was out for the evening and that she would not be coming home.
"That's good, she won't get in our way so", then looking at Janet, "You and the black girl go get us some food'"
They were accompanied to the kitchen by one of the other armed guys who openly looked both ladies up and down, as they made some sandwiches and heated up some chicken pieces, which they brought back to the living room with some hot coffee.
They all watched as the guys ate all the food, some drinking coffee, others beer that they had got from the bar fridge. John looked at the clock on the mantelpiece to see that it was almost midnight.
Everyone jumped when they heard the front door of the house open, the gun men hiding behind the doors as the living room door opened. They all watched as Lou walked in the door, all happy and it appeared a little drunk. She screamed when she saw the gunman behind the door.
"Lou, what are you doing here, you were supposed to be staying at Mary's."
"What's going on Dad?"
She felt a gun pushed into her back, "Sit down with the others."
She rushed over, sitting next to her Mother, "Who are they?"
"Just be quiet Pet, don't say anything."
"You told us she wouldn't be home."
"She wasn't supposed to be."
"I changed my mind, I'm sorry I did now," she cried out.
"Please Pet be quiet, everything will be okay as long as we do what we're told to do."
"Your wife is very sensible; you should all listen to her."
They all remained in silence for some time, all looking at each other, wondering what they should do. In particular the three guys were looking at each other for any indication that they should try something against the gun men.
Eventually the four gunmen whispered to each other in the corner after which the leader approached the group. Indicating with his gun he told the three men to sit on different couches and the women to sit alongside their partners.
"Ok, to pass the time we are going to play a guessing game, first ladies take the ties off your men and blindfold them with it."
James stood to object but sat again when the leader turned towards him. He felt Tanya take his tie off and place it around his eyes, tying it tight so that he could not see anything. This was repeated by Janet and Liz.
The leader then called Lou over to her and whispered something in her ear which made her jump back saying, "I'm not telling you that."
"Oh you will, unless you want me to hurt your Dad, whisper it to me."
Reluctantly she leant into him and whispered in his ear. Each of the other three ladies were worried looking at what was happening in front of them, in particular Janet who desperately wanted to know what was been whispered.
