Teasing One "Patrick, I'm tired of running around! From now I'm going to conduct my affairs with different men here at home, even if it does disturb you. I'm tired of sneaking into all sorts of places so people won't know I'm there, driving all over the city to all sorts of hidden retreats for get togethers. Some nights I get home so heavily used I can barely walk! I do try to satisfy all their whims and desires, and they do appreciate it. They certainly pay me well enough. Even so, the more I do for them the more they crave, the more they want me to do! It's never enough! It's exhausting! When they get really hot and bothered they tie me up all day. So from now on I service all those men right here at home." "Mmmmph?" I asked her? I wasn't really listening. Score tied two all, the pitcher maybe coming apart, man on third, that had my complete attention. But then came a commercial, and some of her words broke through. "I don't mind if you watch," she was saying. "You might even enjoy seeing how I satisfy the different needs of different men." What!? This had a disturbing sound. I replayed her recollected words in my head. What was she telling me? She's been having affairs? She satisfies men by letting them tie her up? She gets them all hot and bothered? Now she wants to bring them home to fuck them, with me watching? Tara? My own wife? "What?" I said. I tried to focus these incredible revelations with a delicately phrased question. "You satisfy other men? Give them what they need?" "Well, I should hope so!" she said a little indignantly. I looked at her, baffled. She looked back, equally baffled. Then she must have replayed in her own head what I'd heard, how she'd said it, because realization dawned. She broke into a slightly mocking grin. "Oooh, sweetie, look at you! You just heard me confess something really naughty, didn't you?" I was paralyzed, feeling for a response. Hurt? Anger? Bewilderment? The bottom had just fallen out of my life! She looked across at me, amused. "Just look at you! You're thinking 'My wife has just told me she's having sex with men all over town, and now she wants to bring them all home, and she's inviting me to watch!' Is that what just came into your little mind, honey?" Was it? I shook my head and swallowed and tried again to speak. Nothing came out. She saw. "Why, I'm right! You're blushing! You actually DO think that's what I do when I go out to see my different clients! Betray our marriage vows! Carry on affairs! A man calls me for a consultation, ring ring, and I'm out the door in my laciest lingerie, ready to spread my legs wide and drip all my earlier clients all over him? Is that what you imagine?" "No, of course not, Tara!" I tried to sound hurt that she should think so. But I was hurt! I did think so! That's what I'd heard! My head knew that Tara was scrupulously faithful, that she'd never do such a thing. Not ever! She was playfully flirtatious whenever she was with other men, and they all responded, I'd seen that often enough. But she knew it distressed me, so she suppressed it, at least in my presence. Somewhat. She sensed how insecure I always felt about her love for me, whether I deserved it. How incredibly lucky I felt that she was mine. She thought it was cute that when I asked her to marry me, I didn't dream she'd actually agree to do it. She knew that the mere appearance of infidelity on her part could devastate me, maybe even destroy me. So for the five years we'd been married she'd remained more openly above suspicion than even Caesar's wife. As far as I could tell, that is. We provided each other with ample sex, whatever was needed. We loved each other. That was that. So I was quite sure of Tara. So sure that I'd sometimes indulge a small, shameful, secret fantasy about her, that behind my back she actually was a wild women, sexually abandoned, nymphomaniacal with other men. That notion was always arousing for me, and useful now and then when Tara wanted a second round of lovemaking from me when I'd been exhausted by the first. It did seem that Tara could be both provocative and sometimes -- it seemed -- insatiable. But with that very thought I was able to oblige her. She was looking at me more closely now. Did she sense what was going on in my mind? Very little ever got past her. She sensed it. "You're thinking that I sleep with other men, aren't you? You've toyed with that notion before, too, haven't you?" Then bluntly, "It turns you on, doesn't it?" I had nothing to say. I stared at her, a deer in headlights. She suddenly smiled. "You know, sweetie, after all this time I can read you like a book with no cover. How odd! It does turn you on, that idea, doesn't it? Thinking that I'm unfaithful to you, that I'm pussycatting my pussy all around town! Getting it from other men." She spoke in a gentle, matter of fact voice, quiet, reassuring. "It's exciting, isn't it, sweetheart? Be honest!" She had me fixed in her steady gaze, and I knew there was no escaping. "I ... yes, that's right, sometimes," I confessed slowly. "Not that I believe it. And no way do I really want it, Tara. No, not at all. No! Please, believe me!" Why did I sound as if I were pleading? Why protest too much? Did I fear that she might actually get into bed with her customers just to please me? If she thought that it would turn me on? That I had to discourage her, or else ring ring, and there she was humping away like a bunny in a cage full of rabbits? "No," she said thoughtfully. "I don't suppose you do want it. But you do in another way, don't you!" "Tara, no!" I said helplessly. She paid no attention. "You want to imagine it. Maybe even think it's true. But you don't want to know for certain that it's true, because that would change everything between us, wouldn't it, knowing for certain." She paused, then added. "If I hinted that maybe I seduce and sleep with my clients, you'd want to believe me, wouldn't you. And the idea would excite you, wouldn't it? Doesn't it? True or not doesn't matter?" What was she doing? "You love the possibility, don't you? You find it exciting! Yes or no? Be honest!" What could I say? "Yes," I said. She sat back again, comfortable with my confession. "Well, don't fret about it, honey, I've read that lots of men do." She smiled sweetly, then went on. "But now that I know that about you, my poor darling, now that you've confessed it, something's already different between us, isn't it? Because now I know that you want to think your wife's unfaithful, promiscuous. That the idea turns you on. And now you know I know it. Isn't that in itself exciting?" I stared at her, glum and worried. She got into playful moods like this one now and then. There was nothing to do but wait them out. She beamed a wide smile at me. "It sort of gives me permission, doesn't it!" O, God, no! I mouthed "No" but no sound came out. Where was she going with this? "In fact now you're free to imagine that because I love you, I'll screw other men all the time just to please you. Whether or not it's true. Now I can tease you about how much better hung they all are, how much more powerful my orgasms are when they stuff themselves into me and fit so tight I can't move." She looked smug, and her gaze turned inward for a moment, as if she were reminiscing. Then she glanced slyly at me to see if I saw. Oh, God, despite my confusion and misery I was starting to get hard! I shifted my position so she wouldn't notice. She noticed. "Or maybe I shouldn't tease you, leave you wondering whether or not it's true. Maybe I should just tell you up front that I'm getting laid hard and often by better men than you. That would clear your mind of all the uncertainty, all those nagging doubts and tormenting suspicions. All the questions you'd love to ask me right now, wouldn't you, if you weren't so afraid of the answers. Because then you'd know! No more questions, no more ambivalence whether you really want it to be true or you don't, whether you want to believe it or you don't. If you knew for sure, you'd have no choice. Except maybe to leave me, or else to give in and whenever I go out, to sit here imagining what I'm doing. Night after night, sit here imagining me gripping another man with my arms and legs both. Imagining how another prick is stretching my hole wide as he strokes himself in and out of me, how I can't help but pull him deeper into me each time I squeeze my legs." I couldn't say a word. She paused, and looked closely at me, then said in a soft voice, "My goodness, baby, just look at you. So ashamed! So embarrassed! And so excited, just look at that bulge in your pants! You really do like the idea, don't you? So now maybe I really should do it, not just to please me but to please you too?" I shook my head, helplessly terrified. She saw and went on relentlessly. "Let's explore this thing of yours a little further," she said. And she sat straight up in her chair as if she were about to deliver a report. "Let's say I really do wrap my legs around all the men I do business with, just for fun. All those men who call me at all hours insisting that I come meet them right away. Let's say maybe that's why they give me their business. Let's say that's why in just a few short years my customers have expanded from a couple of local contractors to some major corporate clients." I said nothing. Then, "No, that's not why," I croaked. I was trying to tell her I didn't believe she was unfaithful to me, that she was good at her job and that's why people wanted her, why they hired her. But that didn't say it! She noticed. "I do bring in a nice income, you've got to admit that, honey, don't you? We live well on it, very well with what you make too of course. And my clients do keep coming back and asking for more. They know I'm on call and that I give satisfaction." She smiled smugly. Was she confessing everything while seeming not to confess anything? I finally found my voice. "Yes," I said. "I'm sure you do! Enough now, please! Don't tease me any more now, Tara. Please." My discomfort was obvious. I felt all twisted inside. Excited yet distressed. Her eyebrows rose. "Teasing. Yes, that's what I'm doing, teasing you. I'm not telling you anything, only teasing. All right, honey, if that's how you want to think of it." She paused. One more jab. "If you can't cope with reality, then that's what we'll call it. Teasing." Then as if the entire previous conversation had never occurred, she sat back, and while I tried to recover from my confusion and embarrassment she laid out what she'd meant to say earlier. It was simple enough. Tara started up an office design and equipment business a couple of years ago, combining her talent for interior decoration with her talent for getting things done, and it had taken off. Now she could walk into a bare, newly rented office or sales space with some company manager, listen to his confused ideas about where desks and counters belonged and what sorts of computer networks were needed, make some sketches, then settle down with a phone in her hand and an address book in her lap. Many phone calls, many visits to many shops and offices and work rooms later, but in a remarkably short time, the stores were serving customers and walls were up in those offices and there were pictures on them, and secretaries were answering phones and technicians were clacking away on computers in cubicles, and representatives were genially advising clients in adjacent private offices. In half the time required by her competition, because with everyone, whether he was a suave corporate CEO or a plumber with a pipe wrench, she was both tireless and persuasive. She got her way. Her competition shuddered whenever they heard she was bidding on a project, because she was famous for her zeal -- some called it ruthlessness -- to win no matter what, no matter how odd or far out the demands. So her projects and clients and customers and contractors multiplied. She was out all the time, visiting sites, in and out of offices of all sorts. She made calls and took callbacks at all hours, ordering from wholesalers, wheedling carpenters, re-scheduling carpet installations. She used borrowed conference rooms and desks in friends' offices downtown when she had to, but out or not, the phone stayed busy. I could hear the answerer clicking on and off all the time as I sat in my little alcove off the front hall doing my own work. As her clients and projects multiplied I lost track of them. Now she was worried that she might too. Her paperwork was scattered all over. The town's most scrupulous office designer hadn't paused to design her own office. She didn't even have an assistant or secretary, someone to move around with her and take notes or else stay in one place and answer the phone and reassure clients and deal with routine matters while she dashed all over the city. She had no place for such a person to work. When she needed office space for a conference she'd borrow it from a friend or a former customer. So what she was telling me now was, she'd decided to settle in and centralize her activities here at home. "I mean to move all my scattered stuff here," she told me. "Use some of last year's proceeds to build an addition onto the house, alongside and behind the kitchen where it won't interfere with our privacy, with a separate entrance. Make myself a proper office for interviewing clients and maintaining files. And get myself a proper secretary to look after details. Do this job right." I could hardly object. I'd taken over what little house space I needed for my own one-man consulting business. Now she needed space too. "OK," I said. "Fair enough. But is the expense of a whole addition necessary? Maybe just use the spare bedroom?" She just looked at me. Of course. A foolish question. Figuring out costs and budgets and spaces and arranging financing was what she did! Tell her what you think you need, and Tara would see that you got exactly what you really did need, and that you could pay the price. That you'd pay willingly, and love whatever you ended up with. "No, honey, sooner or later we'll want to use the spare bedroom as a bedroom," she said patiently. "You remember, kids? And anyhow, I'll need maybe four or five such rooms, all off a reception area, much more space than that. We'll try not to disturb you, but you will have to get used to a lot of construction noise for a while. Then there'll have to be a secretary or somebody back there during the day, and people coming and going. Can you handle that?" I just nodded, as reassuringly as I could. "I'll make it up to you, baby," she said reassuringly. "I'll see to it that you enjoy everything about it. I know just how. It's all worked out. Don't you worry one little bit!" I tried to smile. I hadn't yet recovered from my earlier misconception of her, nor from accidentally revealing to her my most shameful private fantasy. She grinned wickedly. She hadn't forgotten any of it. "Now that things are a bit different between us, we can both be a lot more open with each other, can't we, honey? About what we think we want and what we really want. Are you coming to bed?" It didn't sound like a question. She stood up suddenly and started upstairs without a moment's hesitation. Her hips weaved confidently, and she didn't look back even once. I turned off the TV. She was right. There was something different between us now. Somehow, without anything said or implied, she'd taken charge. She felt it and I felt it. I followed her upstairs uneasily, and sighed as I put on my pajamas. Finally I told myself that if that's what she wants, that's what she should have. And that was what she wanted. Almost immediately, I took off my pajama bottoms again. We made love three times that night, the first time I've managed to do that since our honeymoon. The first was gentle and considerate, as usual. Then as I was slipping out of her and kissing her neck, preparing to drift off to sleep, she whispered, "Now you can be one of my clients getting it up again, say that insurance executive I spent the day with yesterday. The ex-Tennis pro? I never told you about him, did I? He was so handsome and persuasive, and when he showed me his assets I was eager to take him on, and he really wanted me, so when I finally said yes, yes, let me have it, give it to me, all of it, there was no stopping him! Ahhh, that's it!" Yes, I'm ashamed to say that as she spoke my cock reversed direction and got hard again, there was no disguising the fact. We rolled over and she mounted me. I was iron-stiff, fat, swollen, pointing straight up. She impaled herself and then fucked me furiously, with a concentrated intensity, eyes tight shut. Her climax was powerful, emphatic, and drowned out my own. Just as I was spurting helplessly into her that second time and my hips were crammed tight up against hers, I realized that she was screaming, crying out "YES, YES, THAT'S IT STEVE! MORE! DEEPER! YES! OH, YES!" Then she collapsed onto me. My name is Patrick. I lay there with her body flat on mine, her breasts pressed against my chest, unable to see her face. I wondered what I'd see if I could. I wondered what she'd meant. Was it unintended? Deliberate? Did it reveal a truth? Was she teasing me again, now that she knew my secret perversity? Of course! Had she been teasing me earlier downstairs the whole time? Maybe not? "Now eat me, Patrick," she said suddenly. "From now on I want you to eat my men out of me and learn to love it." Without waiting for me to respond, she slid forward on her knees and covered the lower part of my face with her crotch and pressed her pussy against my mouth, her dark eyes looking down into mine as I looked helplessly up at hers, her long dark hair shadowy against her beautiful white face, a face framed between her beautifully heavy, hanging breasts. My mouth was filled with her soaked quim. This had never happened before. Oh, I'd eaten her a few times when we were tipsy. Playfully, bending reverently between her legs to lick her clit. But always before we made love, never afterward. And never with me pinned down helplessly under her pussy while she sat on my face and looked down at me expectantly. This was somehow serious. "Does Steve taste good, Patrick?" she asked gently as she squeezed a muscle in her groin and a glop of my own cum disgorged into my mouth. Slick, salty, a little like a raw egg. "Swallow, Patrick. Swallow my lover down. You're helpless now. You have no choice!" I did just that. I felt relieved, in a way. She was play-acting. It's my semen, not someone named Steve's. But then she added, "Isn't it delicious? He tasted just like that the last time I kissed his penis, honey! Something like that. Now lick me clean! Take all of that man-juice into your tummy as if you wanted it to make you pregnant!" I tried. There was no room to move my tongue toward her clit, so I began to force it between her pussy lips. "Ahhh," she said. "You can't get enough of him either, can you?" I couldn't reply at all, of course. All I could do was try to swallow, and try to bring her off as rapidly as I could, try to end this strange session in a way that would please her. So I stiffened my tongue and pushed it into her cunt even more vigorously, in and out. She began to writhe, and soon she came again in a frenzy! She squeezed out even more. I swallowed again, and my face was now covered with her juices and my own cum. As she caught her breath she felt behind her. "Ah! I thought as much," she said. "You sweet, dear pervert!" She reached back and took a firm hold on my penis. It had gotten hard yet again! That almost never happened! Because seeing her turned on had turned me on yet again? Because we were pretending that I was eating out her lover's spunk? Because she'd dominated and humiliated me, and I loved it? I had no idea! As she slid down and slipped me into her body yet again and began to rotate her hips on me, she began to chant in a sweet, sing-song voice, "I know what you want, I want what you want," and smiled to herself. I thought this had gone far enough. "I want you!" I said hoarsely, and I rolled her over roughly and lunged myself into her repeatedly, marveling that I was still hard enough to move way in and way out again and again, over and over. I did want her, too! "I know you do, Steve," she replied as she wrapped her long legs around my waist, and crossed them behind my back, and squeezed me deeper into her with each lunge. "And I want you too! And that's what my husband wants, for us to fuck each other's brains out! I found that out just tonight! So push deeper! Deeper! Cum into me!" And with that I came again, I couldn't help it. When she felt me throb she came too. The idea excited her too, obviously. "Yessss!" she said as if she'd reached some kind of conclusion as well as a climax. Then she stared up at my face wordlessly, impassively. "Now let's go to sleep, Pattie honey. You can eat me again in the morning. In fact, whenever I've been out working late with a client, this is what I'll want you to do when I get home. Clean me. Whoever I'm with, I want to remember when I'm with him what a wonderful lover I have at home too. It'll be wonderfully exciting. I'll like that." And she was sound asleep. In the morning I felt a choking pressure on my face and opened my eyes to see that Tara was again sitting on my mouth, again looking down at me. My cum from the night before was dried stiff on my nose and cheeks, and it clotted my hair. But there was still more in her pussy, still sticky. She slid her groin back and forth on my slick mouth. My nose slid up between her pussy lips and then between her cheeks, pausing against her rose bud, and then slid forward again. Each time it passed her clit she groaned. "Lovely," she said when she'd tensed up into orgasm and then released herself yet again. "Our best time together ever! Isn't this a delicious depravity? So very exciting, and no harm done! Now let's take our showers. I have lots of things to tell lots of people today about my plans for them when I've got my new office. You already know what my plans are for you, I think. Some of them, anyhow." She smiled again and climbed off me, and without a backward glance she headed for the bathroom. She'd used me and no longer needed me. But she knew I'd be there when she next wanted to use me. She'd just given me more of herself than ever before in our marriage, and I'd given her more too. It was true. I could tell by her languorous stroll toward the bedroom door, her thighs rolling slowly, that she'd never felt more satisfied either. At least I'd never seen her looking more satisfied. So I guessed that I should be satisfied too. She loved me. She was doing everything she could think of to please me. Just as she did with her clients, though differently of course. I hoped differently. With that thought I started to get hard yet again. So instead I rolled over and got out of bed.
