Tuesday was a daze. Both went to work and tried to do their jobs, but it was difficult to focus. They were sore and tired and kept feeling the penetrations and cum covering from the night before. Their dresses were still on the kitchen floor and would need to be taken care of tonight. There had been no phone call or text, for which they were grateful. Tyler kept trying to encourage Tanya, telling her they would find some way out of this, but after last night he was running out of hope to share. They got home within minutes of each other and Tanya started dinner while Tyler took care of the clothes. He hadn't realized just how messy his was and remembered Chris's comment about how a lighter color would have been better. Well, for the viewers, yes. For him it would have been worse.
As they ate dinner he suddenly realized something and looked at Tanya. "It was exactly a month yesterday." She dropped her fork and started crying. "It was supposed to be a game, to tease you, maybe torment. It was only ever supposed to be like an extreme April Fool's joke. I never meant for it to turn into this. If Ellie hadn't talked about research it might have only ever gone that far."
He wanted to blame her. She had invited Ellie, she had put the cage on him (and why did Ellie have a cage in her purse?), and she had gotten sucked into the blog. It might have been just a game if she had kept it to herself, but now they were both in trouble and he didn't want to abandon her. The recent weekend in Chicago had been fun and was proof she still loved him. It was quiet the rest of the night and Tyler went to bed at 9. Tanya wanted to go to be with him, but was afraid she might miss something if she did. And there it was, under CuckHammer's post. "The slut and her bitch got well used last night, both with cum dripping off. More to follow. Stand by for times and tickets. And more videos than you can shake a spurting cock at."
That was it. Nothing else designed to upset her. It was enough, but Tyler was right. They had to fight it. If they didn't, everything was lost. At least he hadn't left her yet, and she really needed his support right now. She felt like she had started a fire in their home and burned it to the ground. Fighting tears, she went to bed, dropping her clothes on the floor and sleeping naked.

Tyler was enjoying a rare moment of calm around 2 in the afternoon. It had been a busy morning solving problems, redirecting some people to handle issues in the newest manufacturing line and generally fielding problems with personnel. Then his boss came in.
"Tyler, I don't know what you did, good or bad, but the big boss wants to see you. You need to get your ass to Stevenson now."
Tyler looked up. "Stevenson? As in Senior Director of Manufacturing and one of the board members?"
"The same," said his boss. "Good luck." And then he was gone.
Tyler locked his computer and headed up to the suites. He had no idea what was going on and was soon standing at the personal assistant's desk in the senior director area. She called to announce his arrival and Tyler was directed to go on in as he was expected. Walking in, he saw the gray-haired man stand up behind a desk and come around with his arm held out for a handshake.
"Tyler, so good that you could get here quickly. We've met once before you know." Tyler gave a look of not remembering. "Yes, it was a holiday party 2 years ago, and you were still thinking yourself a newlywed, with your lovely wife." He dropped Tyler's hand and motioned him to a chair, then sat on the desk and smiled. "Don't be so surprised that I remember you. You don't get to one of these suites by not noticing people, and you don't stay here unless you keep up with your managers, which you have done a very good job on."
This was an odd conversation, Tyler thought. Where was it headed.
"But you're a smart man, somebody who understands business and what it takes to be in front. So I'll just come out and tell you, you're being released."
Tyler looked up. "Released, sir? I don't understand. I thought my ratings were all good. In fact, very good."
The older man nodded, got up, and walked to the window. "All true, I'm afraid. But I was at a club the other night and saw something that would not help our business. We need to protect the image of the company, you know. And, well, there are other considerations. But I saw you, and your lovely wife, though she looked a bit less than her normal lovely, if you know what I mean." Stevenson looked at Tyler. "I don't care about your personal interests, but if it gets out that you work for us? With the video that was released yesterday, I'm afraid we can't keep you on. I do hope you understand."
Tyler struggled not to feel gut punched, keeping his head high. "My work record means nothing?"
Now Stevenson turned and smiled. "Oh no, your record is exemplary. I've managed to secure a 4 week severance. After that, well, I'm told you won't need our money. You see, I know the owner of Midnight, and ... well, Tyler, you're in deep. Really deep. Maybe I shouldn't even tell you, but the owner wants you, and your wife."
Tyler thought for a moment. "Mr Stevenson, surely you have some influence? Can you at least help us?"
Stevenson sighed. "I did help you. I didn't take advantage of either of you. But you need to know, this is a dangerous thing you've gotten tied up in. The owner is used to getting his way, and he has a very competent lawyer and IT person who help him get what he needs." Tyler looked at the older man's hand, with a ring on the left ring finger. Stevenson saw it and smiled. "Ahh, yes, well, I've been married a long time to a woman who likes my position and income and has had very little interest in sex since menopause. I don't care what you think, but I do need an outlet."
Tyler was dazed and just sat looking.
"Tyler, you're in trouble. I don't know how it came about, and I don't care to know. But people working at the club one day stop working. There is a send off party and they are never seen again. It might sound cruel, but do the best you can and do it with gusto. Be the person they want to keep because it brings in money. You don't want to fall out of favor. I don't know what happens, but I know my gut and it says you don't want to find out."
There was a brief pause, then Tyler asked, "So there are other business people who know about this?"
Stevenson came up and sat on the desk again. "About you and your wife personally? No. They are all buying the boyfriend and girlfriend thing. But about the club, well, that's different. I happen to know at least 3 people who have used their company entertainment funds to take a client to Midnight, get him or her drunk, and then have them interact with a, well, staff member. Everything is recorded. Everything. And then suddenly, with very little negotiation, the deal is made. It's all business. Well, it was all business, until somebody I think highly of got his ass so fucking deep there is nothing I can do except warn you, keep them happy. Now, pack up your things after you sign the papers my assistant will have for you, and you are free of us. I feel we'll see each other again, but it won't be under good circumstances."
Numb, Tyler stood, took the extended hand, and left.

Tanya's phone went off and she didn't look to see who it was. Expecting Tyler she answered, "Hi babe, how are you?" It was Ellie's voice that greeted her back.
"Babe? Are you still fawning over that useless piece of sissy meat? I thought he'd be home by now. A bird told me he was fired over 3 hours ago."
"Tanya almost dropped the knife she was using to chop up vegetables for dinner. "He was ... fired? But his last performance report was exceptional?"
