“I hope she paid extra to so she can bang him,” Angela laughed.
“God, I’d like to bang him,” Samantha said under her breath though I could still hear her.
“Samantha! What would your husband say?”
“Mine?” she laughed. “What would Jacob say if he knew?”
My stomach dropped at the mention of Jacob’s name.How dare they?The anger I felt caused me to curl my fists and dig my fingernails into my palms.
“Jacob probably was nothing compared to that hot thing out there,” Angela added.
“Come on. Let’s get back. If we’re lucky, we can watch him laugh from our table.”
“They should hire a male escort for all the surviving spouses for the future events,” Angela said as her voice faded.
The bathroom door clicked shut, and I remained in the stall. When I slowly exhaled the breath that I had been holding, the rage that I felt turned into tears. It wasn’t the first time that I had been left alone with my anger that morphed into tears and heartbreak.

I had just finished hangingup the three pieces of my tuxedo on the towel bar in the bathroom when I got a text from James regarding the crop. Holding my cell phone in my hand, I raised my eyebrows as I read the text because I hadn’t been expecting him to have it ready so quickly.
James: The crop is repaired and ready. It looks beautiful.
Andrew: That’s great! Thank you! When can I pick it up?
James: I can drop it by your place tonight. I will be in the neighborhood of your apartment this evening with Brandon. We could stop by and drop it off.
Fuck.James didn’t know that I had signed a contract with Elise to be her plaything, nor that I had moved in. I didn’t want to get into that with him just yet. I was waiting for Elise to come around a bit more first, because as of right now, I don’t think James was very impressed by Elise.
Andrew: I’m not sure that will work tonight. I’m attending a dinner event with Elise for the fire department down in Riverside. I’m actually at her place now because we’re going to leave in a little while for the dinner.
During the time that I waited for a reply from James, my paranoia began to kick up. I sighed my relief when his response came over and hadn’t indicated that his spidey senses had been piqued.
James: Brandon is up for a little drive, and Riverside is just over an hour away. What time do you think you’ll be back to her place? We’ll drive down, get a bite to eat and then can stop by with the crop.
Andrew: Are you sure?
I quickly ran through all the possible ways this could go wrong. I decided that it would probably be okay because it’s not like James would see that I was living out of four tattered cardboard boxes in a damp garage or sleeping on a chipped wooden pallet.
James: Andrew, I wouldn’t have offered unless I was sure. Besides, I think it’ll be good for Brandon to see that many people in the kink community live what society deems as normal lives.
Andrew: Okay, sounds great. I will see you tonight around 9:00.
After a brief shower, I towel dried my hair, ran my hands with some gel on them through my hair, and then put on my perfectly tailored tuxedo. I flipped up the white collar of my dress shirt and placed the material of the bow tie against my neck. I was able to tie a perfect bow tie on the first try. I looked in the mirror, smiled, and wagged my eyebrows at myself. James would be proud of me for not fucking up the bow tie.
I stood by the coffee table and checked my new black matte cufflink knots to make sure the French cuff sleeve was even and as perfect as it could be. As I reached for the book my dad had given me, I glanced at the dark brown couch cushion. It was impossible for me not to smirk as I thought about the epic blow job Elise had given me.
“Man, what I wouldn’t give to be sucked on like that again,” I mumbled.
Elise could have sucked my soul right out of me. I was certain that she had kept Jacob a very satisfied man.
What started as her reprimanding me had turned into a playful exchange of oral skills. Not only had she surprised me by simply taking me into her hot mouth, but the way she worked my mind and body. Her tongue teased me, while those blue eyes of hers drew me closer and closer.
I knew that there was another side to Elise. One that Jacob had had the pleasure of knowing intimately. It was a side that I wanted to see. Layers of heartache and pain concealed the side of Elise that had been tucked away for quite a while.
Glimpses of that side, she has shown me.
