JULIE'S TAKE.
Tom has told the story of our parties, and the start of their escalation. I'll take it up from here in, for the moment. The nightwear party we had at Kathy's spacious house was voted by everybody I spoke to a roaring success.
I wasn't sorry that, even though Tom had had himself 'done,' I had taken the precaution of going back on the pill. It was, therefore, a surprise to all of us in our 'circle' when Linda announced that she was pregnant.
The summer holidays intervened, and it was some time before the 'party season' came around again, by mutual consent. The chat in the charity shop, run by Kathy, was all in favour of a repeat performance of the nightwear party, and Linda looked glum as she exhibited her now considerable belly, and wished us luck.
At home that evening, I told Tom that Linda and her husband wouldn't be there.
'You'll miss Gary, then,' was all he said, but I knew he had had the fuck of a lifetime with Linda.
'We should try to get some new blood involved,' I said.
'Already on that,' he said, 'I've asked around at work. We've got a lot of youngish people in the new office, and there's a good deal of interest. I'll keep on it.'
Tom's engineering job had recently been relocated closer to home, in a new industrial estate, saving him his commuting journey of over an hour, so the clerical staff were drawn from the local area.
When the day of the party arrived, I remembered the previous one, and decided I should make a special effort. The girls were a pretty cool lot, on the whole, and competitive, to say the least, so I spent a long time in preparation. My hair was a strong feature of mine, and I knew it looked good when I brushed its straight, golden, length to a silken sheen, but I remembered from the previous party that my pubic bush had shown as a smudge through my translucent nightie. Tonight I was planning on wearing a still more transparent one, a long black nylon number, and decided that there was nothing for it but to shave.
I accordingly went to the bathroom, and took my time, sitting on the edge of the bath, firstly snipping off all the longer hairs of my dense bush with nail scissors, then taking a can of Tom's foam and lathering myself thoroughly. Using a new razor and a hand mirror, I carefully took off every vestige of hair, cleaning off my mound first, then easing my pussy-lips aside as I worked my gentle way around my crack, being ultra fastidious, and concentrating on the little hairs that grew between my cunt and my anus, right into the very ring of my arsehole. When I was satisfied, I ran my hand through my slit, and found I was getting aroused, just by the unfamiliar smoothness under my touch. When I smoothed in some lotion, the feeling was intensely erotic, and, looking at myself in the mirror, I though, not for the first time, that I should return to the shop where I had my navel pierced, and have my clit done. At the sudden thought, I found the nub between my thumb and forefinger, and gave a little squeal of joy.
'This won't do, if I'm ever going to get ready,' I thought to myself, and desisted.
Going back to the bedroom, I completed my jewellery and make-up. I slipped a silver chain around my waist, leaving the loose end dangling around my pubes. I took the normal pearl decoration I wear out of my navel, and put in a silver ring, from which hung three fine chains with little stars on the ends.
I had had a set of porcelain nails fitted, and the left index finger I had had drilled. I now put in it a tiny ring, from which I hung a fine chain, again with a little star at the end. It would get in the way, be a nuisance, but then you have to suffer to be beautiful, somebody said.
I put in matching long silver drop ear-rings, which grazed my shoulders, an anklet and bracelets, then took my time over my make-up, rouging my nipples, which would be entirely visible under my gown.
Tom came home a bit later than usual from work, in a hurry to get ready. When he saw me, he did a double-take.
'You're never planning to be seen like that?'
I looked at myself in the mirror. The gown was certainly revealing.
'It's not half as sexy as that slut Linda looked last time. You're only peeved because she's not coming!'
'But that's where you're wrong,' he said, Linda
is
coming! A different Linda, true enough, Linda the receptionist, from the office – wait until you see
her
!'
He hurried through to the bedroom, and, typical man that he was, took about five minutes to get ready, emerging in a new pair of short silk pyjamas.
I stepped into a pair of strappy stilettos, and told him to call a taxi, then we both slipped top-coats over our extravagant party-gear, and waited for the cab.
We arrived as just about everybody else was turning up, cars already lining Kathy's elegant driveway. I immediately knew about half the people there. The buxom Kathy, I had to admit, didn't look half bad in a classy long silk nightgown – perhaps she had lost weight, but Brenda's huge tits looked ready to fall out of the unbecoming pyjamas she had chosen. My near neighbour Adrienne looked eye-catching, and I saw Tom giving her the once-over, in a white baby-doll top with tiny panties tied at the sides by huge white ribbon-bows. She had short jet-black hair and sparkling eyes, and can't have weighed more than 110 pounds wet through. But I was more interested in her husband, Ian, who had piercing blue eyes, and wore only a pair of boxer-shorts. He was making apologies to Kathy, who was flirting outrageously with him.
'I just don't have any pyjamas, you see,' he was saying, 'Adrienne won't let me wear them.'
'Neither would I, with a body like that,' said Kathy, and he certainly had a lovely upper body, with muscle-definition which spoke of hours in the gymnasium.
Just then, a willowy blonde I didn't know appeared, and Tom turned to greet her.
'Hello, Linda,' he said, 'I want you to meet my wife, Julie.'
Linda, who seemed to be alone, had me on the back foot right away. She carried with her an aura, that wasn't only due to the Guerlain scent she was wearing – there was something about her that made me weak at the knees, something that had only once happened to me with a woman before – and that was years ago, when I was at boarding college. She had a long, not very ecological, fur coat wrapped carelessly about her, and apart from seeing that her feet were in strappy stilettos much like those I was wearing, and that she had white-blonde hair which disappeared under her coat, and somewhat aristocratic features, I couldn't say what it was that it was about her.
I felt, however, impelled to help her get rid of her coat, and told her to follow me to the downstairs room Kathy always designated as a cloakroom. As we went, I saw that Tom was busy greeting two more couples, presumably people he knew from work.
When I opened the door to the cloakroom, and threw down the switch, I turned to Linda.
