—It was Herb.
They all looked at Kit and Kit raised her eyebrows playfully. —He’s still got it, girls.
They all laughed.
—He really does, April said.
—Well I’m delighted to hear it, Kit said. But most of all I’m delighted to hear that you’re happy with the arrangement and are willing to give it a go. Remember, you can always come to us, about anything, and we’ll respect your privacy completely.
—Thank you all, April said as they pulled up to the sidewalk on M Street in Georgetown.
—Come on girls, Midge said. We’ve got a busy day ahead of us.
IV
THE FIRST STORE THEY WENT to was an exclusive lingerie boutique called The Lace Cat. It was down a side alley that April had never noticed before. From the outside it didn’t even look like a store. It had a heavy black door with a single brass button in the middle of it and the letters LC in intricate metalwork. Kit pushed the button and a man came and opened the door.
April gasped when she saw him. He was a gorgeous specimen of masculinity and muscle wearing nothing but a black jockstrap. The jockstrap had a small cup to hold his penis in the front and two straps went around to the back, one around his waist and the second below his buttocks. His ass was completely exposed to their viewing pleasure. April thought he was just to die for. He was probably about twenty and he had rippling muscles, strong chiseled features, and beautifully tanned skin.
—Oh my! she said, a little louder than she meant to.
—This is Tyler, Kit said and put her hand on the little black cup of the jockstrap that held his dick. He knows us, don’t you, Tyler?
Kit winked at him and gave the jockstrap a little tug exposing the beginning of his long, thick shaft for just a second. Tyler nodded. Midge and Charmaine giggled like girls. Kit led the way into the store.
—God, I love coming here, Midge said to April and put her hand on the cup of Tyler’s jockstrap too. It brings out the animal in me.
April looked down at Midge’s hand on Tyler’s neat package and could have sworn she saw him throb and stiffen. What kind of a place was this, she wondered.
She followed the others through the door and couldn’t help brushing against Tyler’s thighs as she passed him. He was built like a horse, so solid and calm. His face showed nothing at all, not a hint of embarrassment or shyness. He was too perfect. April longed to put her hand on his cup too and feel the weight of it, size it up, but she was just too shy to do it. She sighed quietly as she eyed the place between his legs that contained the prize she wanted so badly.
Once inside, Tyler shut the door behind them and April’s eyes had to adjust to the dim light. They all took off their sunglasses. They were in a dark anteroom that had mirrors for walls. Spotlights shone from the ceiling onto the glass and gave a strange, translucent feeling to the atmosphere in the room.
—If you’ll follow me, Tyler said.
He walked up to a mirrored wall on the opposite side of the room and pushed it back. The women all admired his perfectly formed buttocks as he did so. April pictured herself spanking that firm ass as hard as she could. The panel opened to reveal another, larger room that was lit in the same mysterious, atmospheric way as the first.
April gasped when she saw it. It was a boudoir, or what she imagined a boudoir should look like if she’d ever seen one. The room was enormous, finished with black marble that was sculpted with intricate patterns. The light shone down from the incredibly high ceiling onto solid, stone pillars that lined the walls. There were four black leather couches in the middle of the room next to a large fireplace. In front of the fireplace was a zebra skin rug. Huge mirrors hung on all the walls in ornate, gilded frames.
—This place is incredible, April said.
—You haven’t seen the half of it, Midge said. Watch this.
She gave April a very naughty look and then went over to one of the leather couches and lay back on it.
—Tyler, she said in the most sultry voice April had ever heard. Can you help me with these boots, honey?
April watched as Tyler went over to the couch and helped Midge get out of her knee-high, leather boots. When they were off, Midge stretched her legs out in front of the boy and pointed her toes.
—These tights too, please, she said.
Tyler gently slid his hands up Midge’s thighs till they reached the top of her tights and then rolled them down her legs. As he did so he brought his face close to her thighs, so close that Midge would have been able to feel his breath on her. April was jealous, she wanted a boy of her own.
—What’s going on? she said to Kit.
—We’re going to do a little lingerie shopping.
April felt a thrill rush through her body as three more beautiful boys entered the room from a door at the far end. They were all dressed the same way Tyler was and looked so alike they could have been brothers.
—Take a couch, Kit told her.
April was scared and aroused at the same time at the thought of what was going to happen and she looked over at Midge. Midge was almost entirely naked now, Tyler was just removing her bra. She was so excited she felt she could burst. She’d never been a very adventurous girl when she was younger and Walter was the only man she’d slept with in college. She’d always fantasized about being naughty but never quite managed to make those fantasies come true, at least not till now.
She followed Kit and Charmaine to the couches and lay back on one. The warmth from the fire felt like a caress. One of the boys came over to her and introduced himself as Jay. He had brown hair and deep brown eyes and as she lay back on the couch he pulled down his jockstrap, exposing his penis entirely to her view. April’s jaw dropped.
—Will I do? Jay said.
—Excuse me?
Still standing there with his jockstrap around his thick, muscular thighs and his penis semi-erect, just inches away from her face, he said, —If you don’t want me I can have another boy sent out.
April looked over at Kit and saw that she was fondling her boy. Charmaine was doing the same, examining him to see if he would be satisfactory. Money really can buy happiness, April thought. She felt like she’d just stepped into one of her fantasies as she looked at the thick chunk of meat that was hanging between Jay’s legs. It was like a dream come true.
Taking her cue from the other women she reached out and took a hold of Jay’s penis and examined it. She felt like she was buying a piece of steak at the supermarket. She gave him a little squeeze and instantly felt him harden in her hand. There was a thick vein along the underside of the shaft and she ran a finger along it. She put her hand on his scrotum and felt the weight of it. She smiled up at him and peeled back his foreskin, exposing the head of his cock like a piece of fruit. The tiny opening at the tip stared at her like an eye and she pictured surges of thick semen squirting out of it and into her mouth. Her vagina grew hot just thinking about it.
—You’ll do, she said as she gave him a final, tight squeeze, which must have surprised him because he gasped when she did it.
Then she leaned back and let Jay strip her the way Midge had allowed Tyler to do. There was something uniquely exhilarating about being slowly stripped naked by this strong, young man. When she was completely nude Jay took her clothes away. She looked around the room and saw the other ladies lounging on their couches, all of them completely naked. She was glad for the heat of the fire. The boys had left with their clothes and they were alone in the room.
—This place is unreal, April said.
—It’s fun, isn’t it? Kit said.
April nodded.
—Just don’t forget, you’re not here only to have fun. We’ve got an important job to do.
—What’s that?
—We have to dress you.
—Can’t I dress myself?
Kit looked at the other two women and they smiled mischievously.
—I doubt it, Midge said and giggled.
—What’s so funny?
—It’s just, you’ll see when the clothes come out.
April did see. When the boys came back they brought with them rack of the finest and most outrageous lingerie April had ever seen and all of it was cut specifically to her measurements.
—We’ll all be doing a little shopping, Charmaine explained, but we’re mostly here for you. You’re going to need an entirely new wardrobe of lingerie, April. You have four men to entertain and keep happy now and you’re going to need to be equipped. The men will be expecting nothing but the sexiest clothing on you when you’re looking after them.
Jay came over with a lacy black garment and held it out to her.
Kit spoke up.
—Jay, honey. If she’s naked, I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t be.
Jay gave a small nod to Kit and then got out of his jockstrap.
—Show her what she’s getting dressed for, Kit said. And don’t be afraid of her, she’s a grown girl, she can take it.
—What’s going on? April said, but before she could get an answer Jay was standing in front of her with his big, ripe penis just inches from her face. Tyler and the other two boys came over and joined them and all of them had let their jockstraps fall down around their ankles. They stood in front of April and she just sat there staring at four of the most delicious cocks she could have imagined.
—What do you see? Kit said.
—Everything, April said. She almost couldn’t breathe she was so thrilled by the four young, thick dicks that were in front of her.
—You see four cocks, April. That’s what you see.
—I certainly do.
—Go on then, Kit said. Touch them. Play with them. They’re all yours.
April looked at Midge who was nodding encouragingly at her. She put out her hand and put it on Tyler’s penis. She stroked it and let it get nice and hard. Then she took a hold of Jay’s and leaned forward to gently touch it with the tip of her tongue. It hardened too and she put her mouth around it and had a good, long taste. She could see the other two boys were hardening now too and she sucked one and then the other, making sure she got them all to full size.
—That’s right, Kit said. Four cocks. Don’t forget it. That’s what you’ve got to take care of from now on. You’ve got Walter, Pete, Frank and Herb to entertain and don’t think for a second that it’s going to be easy. It’s a big job and without the proper garments you’ll be out of ideas before the week is out.
—Ok, boys, Kit said. Back to work.
—Aw, April said as the boys went over to the garment rack.
—Don’t worry, Kit said. You’ll get to play again soon.
For the next couple of hours the boys brought out garment after garment and April had to try each one on. She felt like she was a concubine being prepared for a king. Every single piece of lingerie she tried on was exquisite. There was satin and silk and lace of every color and style and the pieces were all exceptional. She must have tried on close to a hundred different outfits and not only were they in traditional styles, there were also kinkier outfits like nurse uniforms, maid outfits, and clothing resembling various animals. These included a bunny, a kitten, a tiger and others. If it hadn’t been for the fact that she was being dressed and undressed by naked, virile, young men, she would have grown tired of the process before they were even halfway through. As it was, she and the other ladies had all sorts of fun being taken care of by the four boys. She was constantly touching them, fondling their penises, or allowing them to brush against her naked body.
As the time passed she found herself getting more and more excited by the proximity of the naked men. When she was finally finished trying on all the lingerie that had been selected for her she sat back on her couch and watched the other girls trying on their own garments. She also watched the boys helping them. She could see now just how sensual and erotic the clothing was. All of it was tailored masterfully and had been made to the exact measurements of each woman. Of course, Herb paid for everything but April learned that it had been Kit who did the ordering and liaised with the various designers to have all of the clothes made.
—How did you ever manage to arrange all this? April asked Kit.
Kit smiled at her. They were both leaning back on their couches, completely nude, watching the boys help Midge and Charmaine into the last of their garments.
—I was a buyer for a big fashion house before I got married.
—That’s amazing.
—It was pretty exciting. I used to fly to London and Paris a couple of times a year. I had free reign to buy the things I liked, sign designers, the whole deal.
—When did you stop working?
—That was a long time ago.
—When you got married?
—Not exactly, but if you’re asking if it was because of Herb, then the answer is yes.
—He didn’t want you to work?
—He did not.
—That’s a pity. It sounds like you had a really exciting career going.
—Well, it was really something Herb and Pete decided when they were first coming up with the arrangement. I was a buyer and Charmaine was actually a lawyer.
—And they didn’t want her working with the firm?
—She did work there, that’s where she and Pete met. But Herb and Pete thought it would be nicer to have a more traditional arrangement. They built both houses up here next to each other and told Charmaine and I it would be best if we were at home. It was more family oriented they said.
—And that’s how the arrangement started?
—Essentially. Once we had both given up our careers it was a lot easier to control us. We depended on them more. And when the big night finally arrived, the night Herb went to Charmaine’s bedroom and Pete came to mine, we were too dependent on them to put up much of a resistance.
—So you didn’t want this?
—Don’t get me wrong, April. I’ve come around in the intervening years. I’m the biggest supporter of this arrangement of any of us. But in the beginning it was really a play made by Herb and Pete. Charmaine and I had very little say.
—So you don’t think the men would be too keen on me going back to work?
—I didn’t know you were thinking of working.
—Well I’m not. I’ve just been toying with the idea. I was a graphic designer before, and now that the girls are away at school and Walter and I have all this newfound financial security I was thinking about getting back into it a little.
Kit looked long and hard at April. There was compassion in that look. Kit could see herself in April. She understood how she felt. But then she seemed to resign herself to the reality of the situation and grew more stern. By the time she spoke, April already knew what she was going to say.
—April, I can’t speak for the men and I can’t tell you what to do with your life but if you want my advice you won’t bring this up with Walter.
—Why not?
—They won’t like it.
—Kit. A lot’s changed in the last twenty years. I’m sure if I broach the subject in the right way they’d be happy to have me out in the world a little.
Kit looked like she was getting angry.
—April, do you think I gave in so easily. When they first came at us with the arrangement I fought against it. I wanted to keep my career and I wanted my husband to myself. But they won out in the end. They always do. Don’t insult me and the other women, and don’t ever insult Herb and the men by acting ungrateful. This arrangement is the best thing that will ever happen to you and the sooner you realize that the better off you’ll be.
April nodded. She knew where Kit was coming from, and she understood why she was saying what she was saying, but she also knew that a lot had changed in the twenty years since Kit had been forced to give up her career. Maybe herb and the other partners would see things differently now. They might not be so concerned about depriving the women of their independence now that the arrangement had been going on for so many years and had
been working out so smoothly. Maybe Walter would allow her to retain this little part of her life so that she wouldn’t be so utterly dependent on him.
As she sat there thinking about it, and watching the naked boys pack up the last of the garments, she grew sad. She knew that there wasn’t a chance in hell that Walter would give her the opportunity for independence. Everything he’d done had been carefully designed to put her under his control completely. He’d taken her away from her home and community, taken away her car, and now taken away her children. She was crazy to think he’d want her having a career. She’d just spent the entire afternoon being fitted for corsets and garters. She was a concubine for the partners now and the sooner she resigned herself to that fact, the better.
She could tell just by looking at Kit and Charmaine that it was true. They had everything a person could ever want, as long as they kept within the boundaries set by the partners. She looked over at Kit and saw that she was upset. She knew it was her fault for bringing up the past. She’d touched a nerve by mentioning the independence and autonomy that none of the women were allowed to have within the arrangement, regardless of how many luxuries they were given.
V
APRIL FELT WORRIED AFTER HER talk with Kit. It saddened her that the women seemed to have so little power within the arrangement, at least where it counted, but what was worse was the fact that she felt she had upset Kit by bringing up the idea of having a career. Maybe it was just that Kit regretted being forced to give up her own career but April sensed that there was something else too. She felt that maybe she had insulted Kit by suggesting that she wanted more than was on offer within the arrangement.
She tried to make eye contact with Kit but Kit was ignoring her. There was no doubting it. Kit was mad at her and judging from the way she looked, she was getting ready to teach April a lesson. April could see that Kit was friendly and generous so long as everyone went along with her idea of how things had to be. As soon as anyone challenged those ideas, or made Kit feel threatened in some way, she would reassert her dominance. April worried about what Kit would do now.
