John took a deep breath as he stood at the base of the stairs, his hand on the doorknob and his eyes closed. He steadied himself and opened the door.
Ten men were standing on his doorstep, just as they had a year before. "Come on in, guys" he said, forcing a smile. They filed in and followed him up the stairs to the living room.
He was nervous, of course. Who wouldn't be? Last time had gone extremely well, but that didn't calm the unease in his stomach or steady his hands. As much as he felt excitement and anticipation, he also felt fear. He was about to watch these men use his wife for their own pleasure, after all, how could he not? As they climbed, he heard one man say to another "I've been looking forward to this one since last year. She's my favorite." He couldn't help but smile at that.
"Tell me about it," the man had replied. "My wife really enjoyed hearing about this one. Shame they'll never meet, she could learn something!"
A third man joined in. "I had to tone it down when I told my wife," he said. "I can't have her knowing there are women here so much hotter than her. She'll make me quit."
As they reached the top of the stairs, he took another deep breath and tried to calm himself. He walked to the center of the living room, quietly passing Leigh, who was standing at the center of the half-circle ring of chairs. As she had a year before, she was wearing a dress, this time a black one with a low neckline, along with a blindfold and a pair of earplugs. Her beautiful brown hair was down, gracefully draped over her shoulders. She licked her lips in anticipation as the men took their seats.
"Good evening, everyone," John began. "I'm sure everyone already knows the rules, but just to be sure, I'll go over them once before we begin." He took yet another deep breath and slowly exhaled. He'd heard this speech over a dozen times and given it once himself, but he still took his time to make sure he got it right. Screw-ups your first time hosting were easily excused, but by your second turn, you should have things down pat.
"As you know, from the moment you entered our home until the moment you leave, you are to remain completely anonymous. My wife here may not at any point know your name or anything about you. You may talk quietly amongst yourselves or to me, but since the earplugs are not perfect, you must keep your voices down and under no circumstances speak to..." he paused. "The hostess."
It felt so strange referring to his wife as if she were an inanimate object, some kind of toy only there to amuse and please the group. But in a way, that's exactly what she would be for the next hour. She was flesh and skin, breasts, pussy and ass, she was there to be ogled and touched, poked, prodded, and enjoyed. That she enjoyed it almost as much as these men did was of course important to him, but for the purposes of the group, her pleasure was not the main item on the agenda. At least not for most of the night.
He continued. "She will begin fully clothed, as she is now. Each man will have a few moments to approach her and do with her whatever he desires, provided that he uses nothing but his hands and that he stays within the bounds of reason. I will be the judge of whether a guest goes too far, but the parameters are broad and the intent is for you to have wide latitude to get the most out of your time with her."
He looked out at the faces of the men. Not a single one of them were looking at him. All of them were fixated on his wife, standing almost perfectly still, her hands at her sides, her light brown skin almost glowing. Her chest moved slowly, her breaths deep and conscious, her breasts heaving with each one. He thought he might have heard a foot tapping in anticipation, and more than one man seemed to be wringing his hands.
"After each man has had a turn with her, I will undress her completely. Then, each man will again have a few moments to approach her and, again, using only his hands, fully enjoy her body. You may feel free to move her as you see fit."
He paused again, though even later he was not sure whether this was for dramatic effect or to steady himself. "Again, throughout this process, she may speak to you. And she will." The group laughed, some clearly nervously, others genuinely. The anticipation was getting to be too much for some of them, it seemed. "But you may not speak to her.
"After each man has had a full opportunity to enjoy her body, she will be given a chance to enjoy it herself while you all watch. She will sit in a chair and bring herself to orgasm, either manually or with the use of a vibrator.
"Are there any questions?" he asked. It was the first time some of the men looked at him since they'd sat down.
"Nope, no questions," one man volunteered for the group. The others laughed. "Well, are there? Or can we get to it? I know I'm not the only one who's been waiting for this." He slouched in his chair with some embarrassment.
John smiled. "Well, I didn't expect to see any questions, so, let's get started." He paused again. "Since this is no one's first time, there is no set order for tonight, so I will take volunteers to go first."
