Continued for part four, this is part five, the conclusion.
After our major β not to put too fine a point on it β gang-bang, things fell back into the 'normal' routine β surprisingly quickly. Other than a sly smile that persisted for a couple days, Penelope made no mention of her experiences. I wanted to ask her what she thought; how she liked it; exactly how big were her orgasms; but, somehow, that seemed tacky and unseemly, so I just smiled back and we went about our business.
For quite a time then, our 'arrangement' seemed to simply continue. Our directed/compliant relationship had become an eminently comfortable, albeit exciting, way-of-life. But more than that, it was flourishing β 'direction and compliance' seemed to fit us very well.
Several months after our executive meeting β our most successful annual meeting β a client group invited me, and a few of the DML partners with whom they did business, to a soiree at a posh hotel β two weeks hence. We had done a lot of recent financial work for them, resulting in some very, very lucrative deals. "Bring along your wives, partners or lovers," the invitation had proclaimed, "for a night of celebration." Centered at the bottom of the page was a red circle with a diagonal line over the word 'PRUDES'! In fact, they were a group of questionable, if not ill-repute in the business community, and Rolly, the founder, owner and CEO, had a reputation for being brash, lewd and libertine. There was something very intriguing, very carnal about this invite β a feeling that hung in the air, just out of sight. Possibilities and opportunities were about to be presented, although for what, I couldn't quite discern β or I wasn't quite ready to admit. Nonetheless, the excitement in me grew daily. I mentioned it to Penelope with a forced casualness, indicating that we would be attending merely as a professional obligation β and that was partially correct. One must, of course, please the clients.
With our annual-meeting-cum-gang-bang still a very popular topic of conversation within our organization, on getting their invitations, each of my partners going approached me and said, "You're taking Ms. Lord, I presume."
"Of course," I would reply, mildly.
When the day finally arrived, I sent Penelope home early telling her that I would pick her up at 6:00 pm. I knew I didn't need to tell her to dress appropriately; I was very eager to see what she had chosen, as we β she being the last stop β pulled up to her townhouse in the limo β compliments of our host. "Wow!" was all I could say as she greeted me at the door.
"You like?" she asked coyly, grabbing her wrap and hanging a dinky little purse on her shoulder. The chauffeur watched her coolly from behind his shades, trying to look unaffected as she stooped to get in. The buzz of conversation ceased as she entered, and started up again only slowly after greetings and brief introductions.
As we drove off, I said, lamely, "This should be fun, eh?" Everyone agreed, though Penelope just nodded, smiling benevolently at me. Suddenly I felt like a kid heading for the prom β my date, the envy of all. All I could do was stare at her. Her hair was up in an elegant coif, and her make-up was flawlessly understated. Her dress β charcoal, shot with a subtle iridescence β was long and form fitting, with a dangerously high slit, revealing the occasional glimpse of her black stocking tops. It, somehow, stayed just short of looking tart-ish. Hanging from spaghetti straps, it accentuated her shape and beauty without making her lack of underwear too obvious. She looked more beautiful than ever. I stared in admiration for the remainder of the ride.
From the front of the hotel, we were escorted to a huge, lavish and private dining salon, with a large oblong table, set for twenty β there were four of us with our escorts, and six of them with theirs β and a full buffet to the side. Everyone's eyes were on Penelope, so, when I introduced her, we were greeted with all manner of observation and innuendo. "Oh, so this is the famous Ms. Lord," "β or infamous!" "We've all heard about your 'Special Assistant," "I look forward to seeing her perform," "If only half of the rumours are true, my dear, you're sure to be the star of this get together." While my partners sat back watching, sharing my pride in her, our hosts looked Penelope over lecherously, then at one another, expectantly. Only one of them had actually met Penelope before. "Yessiree," he announced to his colleagues, pleased to be in a position of regard, "this here is Jackson's very special assistant I've told you about. I think we're all in for a real treat," adding with an exaggerated wink, "I know I can hardly wait."
I felt, somehow, provoked, as if I, personally, had been challenged. They all looked at me, as if asking, "Well, how does she work? After all, she is your special assistant!" On the one hand, it was appallingly depersonalizing, the way they looked at her and spoke about her, but on the other hand, there was something implicitly exciting about the perceived challenge.
If they all really wanted to see how well she performed, I decided, I'd give them something that would make their heads spin. "Yes," I said to myself, looking at Penelope, "we're really gonna put on a show tonight β that we are β you 'n me, m'dear." I don't know why, but I needed to show-off β show my cohorts the magnificence and of my β our β delectably enviable position. I'd make them eat their hearts out before the evening was over. I knew I was being childish, but I couldn't help myself.
My musings notwithstanding, we were seated at the table and enjoyed a gourmet meal that was almost profligate. Wine flowed and the conversation that rallied about the table was predominantly ribald and crude. Such were our hosts for the evening. When in Romeβ¦, of course. Once the main courses were complete, the serving staff appeared to remove the remains. As they left momentarily to bring on dessert, Rolly, the 'supreme commander' of the salacious bunch, said, with a hearty guffaw, while gesturing down at his lap, "Hey! Ms. Lord. I got something here you might like better for your dessert." Penelope blushed and responded by looking at me. "Whaddya say?" Rolly bellowed again, amidst the chuckles and giggles of the others.
"Okay," I thought, surveying the table, "let the show begin." Turning to Penelope, I said quietly, "Go ahead, Ms. Lord, show him what you can do." I winked, then, feeling almost gleefully provocative, I added, "In fact, show them all β hosts and hostesses first β how well youβ¦," I paused, then finished, "just how oral you can be." Penelope's eyes may have betrayed an instant of surprise, but she recovered her composure immediately.
"Of course, Mr. Jackson." She folded her napkin primly at her place then, with liquid grace, she slouched in her chair and slipped silently beneath the table, to an amused chorus of 'Ooooohs' and 'Aaaaahs'..
"This bodes well for a very interesting evening," I reflected silently, smiling as I watched her vanish beneath the white linen.
The serving staff entered moments later with the dessert. If they thought it odd that one place was empty, they never showed it, but I could see Rolly having trouble concentrating on the choices from the tray. He was obviously getting his treat from beneath. Penelope stayed well out of sight, but she was obviously not out of mind for any of us. The chatter over dessert was subdued as everyone watched one another's eyes, trying to determine just who was being serviced at any given time. It rapidly became a game β we could all tell during Jake's turn but many minutes passed during which the only clues were sly smiles on the faces of Alan, Constance and Dave as they slowly and deliberately enjoyed their desserts.
