When Karen was asked to attend the conference she was thrilled. It was only a short flight and when she stepped out of the Uber, the Atlantic City Hard Rock Hotel looked like a palace.
At 35 years old and single, Karen thought she still looked good. She was a little short at five foot four, but comfortable in heels. She was pretty with blond hair and her figure was still good. She knew from the smiles she got from men that she was still attractive and she thought of herself as a solid seven.
Karen checked in, found a seat, and saw there were over 100 people there. They were almost all men and she felt a weird excitement thinking about being so badly outnumbered. The first speaker welcomed everyone and then started talking about business computing solutions, but Karen didn't understand much of what he was talking about and soon her mind started drifting.
Karen fantasized about being taken and overwhelmed by so many men. She imagined herself submitting to them and the thought about what they might do to her.
When the speaker said they would take a short break, Karen walked to the back and got a coffee. She made eye contact with a man and said, "Hi, I'm Karen." and in a clumsy motion held up her name tag.
He said, "I'm Chris and I'm not a computer guy." They shared a forced laugh. He was tall and good looking, but at least 10 years younger than her. They had a nice conversation. He was smart and witty and seemed interested in what she had to say.
Karen suffered through a few more presentations that afternoon, finally sneaking out to go take a look at the casino. She walked on until she arrived at the roulette table and saw Chris placing his betting chips on the table. He noticed her and she gave a small wave and he motioned for her to come over.
Chris introduced Karen to his friend, but she didn't get his name. He was about the same age as Chris and also good looking. Chris told her to come to a reception later that evening and tried to explain how to get there. Chris said, "Give me your phone" and she did as she was told. He called his phone and she heard it ring in his pocket. He said, "Text me if you need directions."
Karen smiled and wished them luck gambling and kept strolling. After a few minutes, she went to her room to take a nap and get ready to attend the dinner.
Karen woke up from her nap and saw she had an hour to get ready and she would need every minute. She showered, dried her hair, applied make-up, fussed over herself until she knew she looked good. She put on her new bra that snapped in front and her new red panties. She wore a tight fitting red sweater that buttoned in front and a black skirt that zipped in back. She admired herself in the mirror for a minute and headed to the ball room for the dinner put on by the host company.
Karen found a seat at a table, but it was just seven guys talking about software or sports and none of them seemed interested in her. She fantasized about being alone with all those men and what they could do to her. All throughout dinner, her mind kept returning to the fantasy about the men at her table turning on her and having to bend to their will.
After walking through the casino, it was starting to get late. Karen wandered up to the third floor to find the reception and get a free glass of wine. She saw Chris as soon as she walked in and he seemed happy to see her.
Karen saw the party was already starting to wind down. Chris explained he has contacts with the conference sponsor and his catering company was hired to put on the party providing a small bar and a DJ playing music.
Chris walked her over to the bar and introduced her to his friend Brian the bartender. Chris took her arm and they walked while she sipped her wine. She saw the DJ was the guy playing roulette with Chris, but she didn't know his name.
When they stopped and got a minute to talk, Karen was feeling the effects of the wine. She opened up to Chris and told him it was exciting for her to be outnumbered by so many men. It felt reckless to tell him her dark fantasy about being forced to submit to them.
Karen told Chris she had to pee and he took her to a room in the back with a king size bed and a full bath. She left the door open hoping Chris would watch her taking a pee. Washing her hands she thought she didn't recognize her own reflection in the mirror and felt something was changing in her mind.
