I had been working in financial services and banking for about 25 years. It was good. It put food on the table and kept my wife and kids happy with the things we could afford. I lost my job in the financial crash and we really struggled to make ends meet while I looked for new work. It made me appreciate how quickly it could all come to an end.
Finally I found a new job, and they first few months had were killer. Sure, I now make more money than ever before - but the alpha male culture and partying was taking its toll. I was out a lot and my wife didn't like it. She also didn't like the drinking. If she only knew what else my boss had us doing - going to strip bars, girls, casual street drugs. The pressure take part and not get left behind or even let go was intense. I'd never been with so many women over the past few weeks or partied harder, even during my glory days at college. Even at 48 I was still fit and good looking. A silver fox some say - tall, salt and pepper beard, strong jawline, deep brown eyes, toned body from regular workouts. I did get a lot of attention.
So tonight was another party for a client. Dirty old man he was, I had been sure he'd checked me out quite a bit over the past couple weeks. I'd catch him starting at me or looking me up and down. I'm straight and I'm not a homophobe, but something about this guy creeped me out.
The party started normal enough and I was fucked up quite quickly from the lines and tequila shots. My boss came over to me, drunker than usual and told me I needed to do something for him and the client. I asked him what and he told me the client had something in the other room for us. He told me to follow him.
