The Wager Ash released the accelerator slowing down the sleek powerful German import. He glanced furtively into the rear view mirror. "Why are you slowing down?" Veena asked? "Police," he said. The police cruiser effortlessly passed them on the left. Ash sighed audibly. "Nervous?" Ash asked. "Don't talk about it," Veena responded. "Sorry," Ash said. He flicked on the turn signal, his feet heavy on the accelerator once again. "It's so windy. Drive slower." Veena said squirming on the leather upholstery in her very short skirt. "I can handle it," Ash said. "Well you couldn't handle this," Veena said pointing to her skirt. "We went over this a hundred times. Let's not rehash this," Ash said. He kept his eyes steady on the road. "Rehash! Damn sure I will rehash this stupidity of yours every single day," Veena said. "Look at me with this stupid skirt. Look at what I'm wearing, dressed like a cheap whore." "Don't get all agitated now. It is not going to do any of us good," Ash said. His knuckles turned white gripping the steering wheel. "Slow down. I want to hold on to my purity as long as I can," Veena said. She turned all the vents away from her. "Cold?" Ash asked. "No, the air is going right into my pussy, thanks to you." Veena pointed out. "I'm sorry honey, those were the instructions. No underwear." Ash said. The needle on the speedometer was touching eighty-five. "I'm only doing this to save your life. After that I'm gone," Veena said. "Can you slow down?" The iron gates were massive and majestic. The mansion behind it and the long driveway leading to the abode of one James Bedrosian was impressive to say the least. Under different circumstance, the couple from Laguna Hills would have been highly impressed. James was all smiles today. He seemed to be nothing more than a gentle middle-aged man with graying sideburns in a well coordinated track suit. Ash knew from experience that looks were deceiving. He unconsciously scratched at the healing knife cut on the base of his thumb as he watched this powerful man playing a most gracious host. "Gary is over seventy but believe me he still gets affected by a young lass lifting up her skirt to reveal herself," James chatted on. The study was a hexagonal shaped room with three of the sides covered wall to wall and floor to ceiling with richly bound hardcover books. In the middle stood an ornate mahogany desk where James placed his genuine crocodile leather boot clad feet. A fan hanging down from the high ceiling lazily rotated not helping to disperse the thick and aromatic cigar smoke. In his other hand he held a crystal glass filled with aged scotch whiskey and two glittering ice cubes. "Honestly now, was that enjoyable?" James continued speaking to Veena. "Exposing yourself. I mean you did it so quickly without a flicker of hesitation." James pointed the remote control towards the wall console and the image of Veena lifting her short skirt to the butler kept repeating itself as in a loop. "Now look at your husband's face just as Gary takes in your shaved cunt. Now that is what I call an expression." "James, cut the bullshit. You got my wife on a platter. Do your stuff so that we can get going," Ash said. His heartbeat had increased significantly. Ash hoped he could change the past. How foolish could he have been thinking that he could outsmart thugs like James Bedrosian. "My, my. I can't believe that this is the same person that soiled himself just a week ago. Weren't you crying hysterically like a baby?" James said puffing on his cigar. "You can go when I say you can go and that will be in the morning so make yourself comfortable. Gary will take you to his quarters. There's a comfortable couch there where all the husbands spend the night." "Then get over with it," Ash said. His voice was a whimper. The thought of his wife getting cozy with the man wearing the impeccable boots was making him queasy. He wanted to sit down. "I promise you I will cherish the feeling of my cock in her pussy," the powerful thug said. In one swift motion, James Bedrosian was on his feet. He was clearly half a foot taller than Ash. Being older than the combined age of the young couple, James definitely had a leaner and stronger body. The pronounced bulge between James's legs gave Ash that realization that he was no match in girth nor length to his adversary. What was worse, the man looked good. Ash sensed that his wife would not mind being intimate with this man. "Let's make ourselves comfortable," James said pointing towards a well built antique leather sofa in a dark burgundy hue. James placed himself at one end of the long sofa still nursing his potent drink. Ash sat tenderly not quite sure to accept the hospitality in such a situation. Veena kept standing exuding sexuality in her short skirt and her bouncy braless breasts poking proudly through her knit top. "Sit here on my lap darling," James said in a sweet assuring voice. Veena's movements were of compliance and trust towards this man. She sat on his lap and nudged herself into a comfortable position. Ash realized that his wife had made it easy for James to fondle her. Ash bit his lip hoping not to witness his wife being touch inappropriately. Veena looked at her husband, her legs opened up and her short skirt rose. "Don't you think your wife is looking forward to this new experience?" James pondered. He sipped on his scotch with relish and his other hand lazily caressed her smooth thigh. "I very much doubt it will happen that way," Ash said. He searched his wife's face hoping to catch her eye. Veena fidgeted on the other man's lap looking towards the bookshelf. "Excellent. Then we should have a wager," James said, his free hand underneath Veena's knit top. Repulsed by his wife being openly fondled and her non-resistance to his exploratory hand, Ash surprisingly felt his loins stirring. "Sure, why not," he retorted. Ash felt he had nothing more to lose. "Smart decision. The odds could very well be in your favor," James said. He tweaked her nipple and to the dismay of her husband she let out a moan. "The result of this wager is all up to your wife. All she has to do is lie and say that she didn't enjoy the damn good fucking I'll give her and that she would never want to come back. Then you are all free from your obligations." "What's the catch. You are not that stupid," Ash said. He was hoping the powerful man wouldn't notice his erection. James placed his drink aside and had both his hands vigorously massaging Veena's well formed breasts. She couldn't help but squirm at the assault. "There is no catch. I'm betting that your wife is a slut and that you had no idea. After tonight, I'm betting that Veena here would want to get fucked by me for the next eighteen months," James said. "Just to prove to me that Veena is a slut, you're taking a chance to finish off our obligation in one night?" Ash asked. "Yes it is that simple. Here is your warm bodied wife enjoying what I am doing to her hard nipples. I'm sure she is that same wife that never initiated the sex in your marriage. I am also sure that you were her first and only man. So you see after tonight I'm betting she'll want more of what I can offer," James said. "What's in it for you. What if my wife said that she did enjoy," Ash said, appalled to see Veena in a trance on this man's lap gyrating her torso as hands mauled her sensitive breasts. "Well then besides just having her warm body on Thursday nights for the next year and a half, she'll also work for me. She'll have to entertain my important business associates to say it mildly," James said. Veena jumped off his lap not caring to cover her exposed pussy due to her hitched up skirt. "Let's go right now, Mr. Bedrosian," Ash's wife spoke trying to pull up the distinguished powerful man from the sofa. She couldn't explain it but she had never felt a stronger urge between her legs before. "As you can see, I better get going," James said with a wink. He sprung up with a bounce in his legs like he was still a teenager. "Nothing makes me feel younger than a hot horny wife." "Let me talk to my wife," Ash asked. He stayed seated. "You can do that after in the morning," James said. "Is the wager on?" "Yes," said the husband. Ash could not yet register the image of Veena walking off with James to the bedroom. Gary promptly arrived on cue and took Ash to the butler's quarters which seemed like a comfortable two bedroom apartment. "I hope you will be comfortable on the couch," Gary said as he fiddled with the remote in front of the big screen TV. "This really helps, watching." "Who could watch TV at a time like this?" Ash remarked but kept quiet when he realized that what the screen was projecting was a clear crisp view of the bed where his wife was going to experience her first extra-marital affair. There was no one in sight but he could hear faint undiscernable conversations. "Would you like a beer or a cocktail?" asked the butler dutifully. Gary was methodically removing his starched uniform as he awaited Ash's response. "Beer," answered Ash. He could now hear the unmistakeable giggling of his wife. He couldn't remember how long had it been since he heard that excited tone from Veena. "Very well," Gary responded bringing Ash an ice cold bottle. He had now changed into an ironed cotton plaid matching pajamas. "If you don't mind me saying so, I find your wife very beautiful." Ash covered his face with his hands and said, "I have lost her forever now." "Well you musn't think of it that way," the butler commented. He twisted off a beer bottle for himself and gulped down the cold liquid. When Veena appeared on the screen she was topless with just her skirt and high heels. Even Ash had to admit that she looked deliciously slutty. "Oh, what did I do! What did I do!" Ash said, his beer precariously trembling in his hand. Veena had those little pouty breasts with nipples pointing upwards. No man could have resisted sucking on them and James was ravishing on those beauties. Veena was in ecstacy. "Are you alright?," the butler asked the husband. Ash had curled himself and was sobbing. Gary knew from experience that it would take the husband some time to getting used to their new reality. Like the others, Gary could see that Veena would be enthralled by his employer's hardened and impressive tool. Like a child opening presents on Christmas morning, Veena held and studied the large throbbing instrument. She wet her lips eager to feel his manhood in her mouth. "I have to throw up," Ash said. He got up unsteadily. "Right there," Gary pointed out the bathroom. As the butler heard the gut wrenching sounds from the bowled over husband, he enjoyed the sight of the beautiful Veena playfully nibbling at the scrotum. Gary knew he would be poking Veena a dozen times during the course of the agreement courtesy of his employer's magnanimity. The wives were always good about it figuring there was no point in disobeying James. Most were pleasantly surprised that he could make them come. "Thank you," Ash said as he stepped out of the bathroom. He stared silently into the large screen watching his wife enthusiastically blow the powerful man's manhood. "She's got talent, I'd say," Gary said. The butler knew he was particularly going to enjoy this one. Ash looked defeated. He stared blankly unable to fathom the pain and humiliation. Gary knew that during most of the night the bodies would be cuddling each other like lovers. But for now he was waiting for the taking, the first time Veena would have another man's rod inside her. It was usually the moment of truth. These women have no idea about that initial penetration and how they are joined into the sisterhood of sluts after that. Gary knew that Ash had no chance after that. "There's no stopping now," Gary said more to himself. James was standing, his manhood proud and strong. Veena was on her back with only her high heels her leg spread open. Would Veena squeal in delight? Ash looked on. Wasn't it better if the husbands just went to sleep instead of torturing themselves? Deliberate and slow, the labia pulled itself apart to allow the pulsating organ its rightful entrance. Gary wondered if Ash noticed how beautiful his wife looked at this moment. How majestic the act itself was and how her legs curled around his strong legs. Ash could not look away for his own sake. "I think that's enough," Gary said picking up the remote. "No! Don't!" Ash said. His eyes did not waiver from the action on the screen. "Well, then," the butler responded. He carefully put the remote back on the coffee table. "If you need me, I'm in my room. You really don't want to see more." "What do you mean?" Ash said just taking his eyes a second off the screen. "It always happens. They'll cuddle. Go to sleep. Then your wife will get up and wake up Mr. James. She will start to initiate sex and you don't want to see that," the butler narrated. "My wife will never do that," Ash said defiantly. "Well I hope so for your sake," Gary said. When dawn broke, Gary was already back into his impeccable uniform. He efficiently tidied up the place careful not to disturb the apparently exhausted and snoring husband. The cook had already prepared breakfast and Gary was summoned to bring the platter of freshly cut fruits, soy milk, toast and cereal to the spectacular master bedroom presently occupied by his employer and the young hopefully scantily dressed wife of Mr. Ash. Gary knew of nothing more refreshing that the sight of a freshly fucked wife and the raw sexuality that emanated from their demeanor. The butler walked unannounced into the grand bedroom passing over the opulent Persian rug towards the super large bed presently occupied by James and Veena. The silk sheets covered the couple below the waist but Gary still got an eyeful of her wondrous breasts. Gary liked that the wife wasn't concerned to hide her modesty, a true sign of a slut. "I hope you had a wonderful evening," Gary said. He placed their respective breakfasts on a bed tray over their sheet covered laps. Gary had an eyeful of the brown and proud nipples resting just a feet away from his eyes. "An excellent evening, thank you," Mr. Bedrosian replied. He methodically chewed a spoonful of cornflakes saturated with soy milk. Gary removed himself efficiently from the room. He walked back to his quarters to find Ash disheveled and woken up. Ash was staring at his wife and James enjoying their breakfast. "You....you were in there," Ash said. He ran his hands through his thick black hair. "What outstanding mammaries she has?" Gary said with a twinkle in his eyes. "Was she OK?" asked Ash. "I think she is very happy and satisfied," replied the butler. He picked up a cushion from the floor and put it back in its place. "It's all an act. My wife is very good at fooling people. Inside she is dying from the humiliation and pain," Ash said getting up to relieve himself. "Did you watch the whole night?" Gary asked. He straightened out the Architectural Digest on the coffee table. After he emerged from the bathroom, he said, "Yes, most of it." "So later on, did she initiate sex?" asked the butler. "I don't know if you could say it that way," responded the husband. "It is a simple yes or no question," the butler said. He sprayed a strong wood cleaner on his coffee table. "Well, yes in a way," Ash admitted. "I think she just wanted to impress Mr. Bedrosian." "Ah, but she still did it when she didn't have to," Gary said. He deftly swiped the surfaces with a feather duster. "Anyway why don't you freshen up. The time for truth is soon upon us." Veena entered the study two steps behind the refreshed Mr. James Bedrosian. The mood inside the hexagonal room was calm and serene in the morning. Ash was already waiting there studying the opulence of the room. She was not wearing the clothes with which she had arrived the night before. Her new master had adorned her with a denim sundress. Underneath she wore comfortable pink cotton thongs and a matching bra. "Did you rest well?" James asked the husband. Veena nudged her body next to her new owner. "Bastard," growled Ash. "You are an evil man. Why do you destroy people's lives?" "You destroyed your own life young man. Well actually your own greed put you here. If you want someone to blame, then blame yourself," James said. "Veena, get away from that man," Ash commanded. His voice was more shrill-like than forceful. Veena remained where she was, holding on to Mr. Bedrosian's arm. "How dare you talk to me like that. After all I have done for you. It is your stupidity that got me in the arm of this man. Now is your time to pay up," the wife said. "Ok so the damage is done now. Come to me now so we can finish up this unfortunate episode," Ash said putting his hand out to his wife. "No, the episode is not over. I have become a slut and nothing can change that," Veena said. "You are not a slut. This is just an unfortunate situation which we can now put behind us. Don't be stupid. We can be done with our obligation. Let's start our life anew," Ash said. Veena for a moment let go of James's arm but just for a moment. With renewed vigor she held on to it again. "Sorry. I can't. There is a fire burning inside me and I don't want to lose it," she said. "Are you nuts! How can you throw your life away after just one night," Ash said. A pleasant mix of cigars and wood cleaners drifted into his nostrils forever associating the aroma with his wife's betrayal. "I can't give this up. It is so wonderful to feel something here," Veena said pointing to her crotch. "I want nothing more than to serve James and to allow any man he wishes to have me. I have never felt so whole in my life." "What would you do a week from now when you will realize what a mistake you have made. There will be no turning back then," Ash said to his wife as he watch the smug look on James's face. "You don't have to worry about that," Veena said looking lovingly at James. "I'll be fine." "That seems to be settled," James said. "You can take your wife home now. Bring her back tomorrow at around six in the evening. I have some guests to entertain." James signalled Gary to take the couple back to their car and turned around to leave the study. "Wait a minute! My wife hasn't made her decision yet," said the husband. James turned around at the door. "Why do you wish to humiliate yourself. The writing is on the wall. Accept it and get on with your life," James said in a manner of explaining a child something so obvious. "Veena has to tell us what is her decision, whether she wants to lead a normal, safe and happy life or forever throw herself into this dark dangerous world of being an owned soul," Ash said. He stood his ground legs apart. Veena decided to keep quiet for there was no reason to spell out her decision. She felt sad for her husband still trying valiently to save their relationship. Life isn't fair and Ash better learn to live with that. How could she explain that from the moment she wore the tiny skirt sans panties last evening she felt something. The closest word to that feeling was power. When the butler explained she had to expose her shaved mound her heart had sprung to life. There was no hesitation, only the thrill. She walked with her husband to their car her mind anticipating her future. There was no greater joy than being used by men. The End
