*** Nate's Evil Exploits is the tale of a sex-crazed bisexual sociopath whose job (and passion) is sexually exploiting people during corporate downsizing. ***
***** After Nate and Alec finish fucking Colin in the man's own 'pleasure dungeon', Nate's finishing move is to seduce Colin's wife. *****
Ellie stood at the foot of the stairs, staring at the two men who'd just finished fucking her husband.
It'd taken all her courage to pry open the secret door. Ellie was not stupid. She'd always known it was there, but had never tried to open it, afraid of what she might find.
Over the last three years, she'd left the mysterious door closed through a combination of loyalty to the man who'd provided for her for over twenty-seven years, and a certainty that if she knew what was behind it, she'd have to do something about it.
Sometimes, on a sunny afternoon, she would sit at the kitchen table and muse on what might be behind it.
She knew it was a room. She'd heard her husband descending those stairs once, through the fog that seemed to descend on her sometimes after a glass of wine.
Maybe he'd installed a pool table down there in his Fritzlesque hobby room. He knew she hated pool. Well, pool
halls
—but men could be quite wilful about misunderstanding the difference between disliking a game and disliking the environment it was played in.
Maybe, she told herself, it was where he watched porn. Or Top Gear.
In the dark, quiet moments when she woke from nightmares, she lay awake listening to the rasp of his breath, and wondered if he was hiding something worse. A secret that would destroy their marriage.
And here it was, all her fears realised. Her husband was a homosexual—and a pervert to boot.
She put a hand over her mouth. "He fucked you both. Oh my god, he fucked you both."
Nate climbed off the bed, moving slowly so as not to alarm her.
"Let me get dressed and we'll talk about this. It's not what it looks like."
Her eyes blazed. "What do you mean it's not what it looks like? How many explanations can there be for two naked men sticking it to my husband in a room filled with bondage gear?"
Alec stayed frozen in place while Nate glanced back at the bound man on the bed, momentarily lost for words.
"Okay. It might be what it looks like."
He grabbed up his clothes and started to pull them on. Alec slipped off the bed and did the same, packing their things back into his backpack as Ellie approached her husband.
She stood over Colin, whose face was stained with drool and cum, his nipples pierced with gold rings attached to a padlocked collar with fine gold chains, with an expression of horror.
"They did this to me—" Colin started, but his wife cut him off.
"You built a dungeon. In the basement. Don't even try and blame them. They're just kids—you're in your fifties, for Christ's sake!"
Nate exchanged a glance with Alec. This was actually going better than he could have hoped.
"Can you fucking let me up?" Colin bellowed at Nate.
"No, no, don't let him up," said Ellie. "Not until he explains why this place exists."
Nate stifled a laugh as, out of Ellie's eye-line, Alec mimed furiously wanking.
"Christ woman, what part of this don't you understand?" said Colin, his voice thick with anger.
If an Essex woman had been this angry with Nate, he'd have considered moving postcodes. But not Colin. Far from being broken, the man was in a homicidal rage.
Nate knew, for his sake and Alec's, he had a duty not to leave this house until he was sure the salesman was no longer a threat to either of them.
"I don't understand why you need to fuck men!" said Ellie. "Am I not enough for you, that you need all this—"
She swept an arm around the room, and as she did, the pictures on the walls caught her gaze.
She stalked up to the rows of portraits and took in the girls' tear-stained faces, their eerily similar features. The hoop earrings they wore, identical to her own.
She rounded on her husband. "Is this... is this what you do? Fuck women half my age and pretend they're me?"
Nate knew the right answer to that question. Apparently Colin didn't.
"You should be thankful I didn't do any of those things to you! You've had a very nice life, Ellie, don't start bitching about things that you don't understand."
Alec came to stand by Nate and handed him the water bottle. Nate took a sip and handed it back.
"You going to do up your shirt, bruv?" Alec whispered.
Nate shook his head. "Not yet."
"What
things
Colin? What things don't I want you to do to me?"
"Just untie me and we'll talk about it!"
Ellie glanced back at Nate and Alec. "You shouldn't be here. Go. I need to speak to my husband."
Nate shook his head. "I don't think that's a good idea, Mrs Dunbury. Your husband's exceptionally bad at explaining himself, and I'm a tad concerned what you might do to him."
He held out a hand to her and after a moment she took it.
He took both of her hands in his and gave her a sympathetic smile.
"I know this is hard to hear, and what you've just witnessed would traumatise any loving wife who found herself suddenly thrust into the world of bondage and gay sex without any warning. But on the plus side, at least he has good taste." He indicated himself and Alec with a grin.
"Fuck off," growled Colin.
"Shut it!" snapped his wife.
Nate decided it was time to pull things back on the rails.
"Which would you prefer, Ellie? Your husband being gay, or fucking young women in your basement?"
"He looks as if he's been doing both."
Nate squeezed her hands.
"Ellie, these women, these portraits on the walls... they're how men like your husband try to convert themselves."
"Convert...?"
"Men who can't come to terms with who they are. It's clear that your husband feels terribly ashamed that he has this lust for hot, submissive, homosexual sex—but he just finds men too damned attractive. I mean, I get it. And I'm not even gay."
Ellie glanced at Alec for confirmation and he shook his head.
"You're not... gay? What are you then?"
"Bisexual. I'm bisexual. Look, I understand your husband's struggle. He wants to be straight, but it's just so damn hard for him to fight his true nature."
"Lloyd, I am going to fuck you fucking sideways for this!"
Nate shrugged, as if to say
'See what I mean?'.
Ellie glanced across at her husband as Nate went on.
"He comes down here, he indulges in fantasies... wild, incoherent fantasies of women he could never have. I mean, look at them. Do you really think any of these women would willingly sleep with your husband?"
She looked back at the portraits, confused. "So... who are they?"
"Pictures he's grabbed off the internet. Nothing more than the wishful thinking of a sad old man."
"I'm going to fucking kill you!" roared Colin from the bed.
Nate shook his head sadly. "I'm sorry you had to see this, Ellie. Alec and I, we should know better. Taking advantage of a man who's desperately trying to be something he's not, at a low moment in his life... it's not who we are."
Ellie's eyes were bright with unshed tears. "What do I do now?"
Nate squeezed her hands gently. "A lot of people in your position would be angry. They'd want revenge."
He let that brew for a moment, then went on.
"But really, what's best here, is to do what's right for you and to let your husband do what's right for him."
He ran his thumbs over the backs of her hands.
"And what's best for me?" she asked softly.
Nate smiled. "Maybe you have needs of your own that Colin hasn't met. Maybe... maybe there's something you've always wanted that he can't give you. A fantasy of your own."
He held her gaze.
"Would you boys like a cup of tea?" she asked suddenly.
"That'd be lovely."
"Don't you fucking dare!" shouted Colin.
Nate gave him the finger as he and Alec followed the man's wife back up the stairs, leaving Colin to stew in his pleasure dungeon alone.

Upstairs, Ellie insisted on putting on the jug. Nate understood. Making tea was an anchor to normality in a world that'd suddenly spun out of control.
While Ellie busied herself making the tea, Alec and Nate sat across from each other at the reproduction oak dining table in awkward silence.
Alec gave Nate a questioning look and mouthed, "What now?"
Nate mimed gagging on a cock, and Alec frowned.
"Then what?"
Nate spread his hands with a shrug.
Ellie brought mugs and a full pot of tea to the table, then retrieved a packet of chocolate biscuits from the bench and sat down.
Nate ran his gaze over her, mentally stripping off the tight grey woollen dress that moulded to her curves. He wondered what kind of underwear she wore, what her breasts would feel like in his hands. Wondered what scent she wore against her skin.
He understood why Colin's fantasies didn't stray far from his own wife.
"So." She bit her lip. "Was he really fired, or was that a lie too?"
Nate considered how much he should tell her. If he told her the truth, Colin would have nothing left to lose, and he'd have no leverage to hold over the man. With someone like Colin, that would be suicide.
He slid a Digestive out of the packet. "Yes, I did fire your husband. It's my job, it's what I get paid to do. You know, it's a ruthless job market out there. I'm sure he was doing his best, but at his age... you know, it gets harder."
He bit into the biscuit.
Ellie poured tea into three mugs with shaking hands. "Milk and sugar?"
