Part 2 | Michael gets what he wanted, just not the way he imagined.
Since Michael's unexpected arrival, the situation had become what I can only describe as somewhat tense. For one thing, this amazingly attractive guy had come home to find me, a total stranger, standing in his hallway bare ass naked. For another, I'd been naked with his wife. To his credit, his initial reaction had been reasonably calm. As I sat in the living room I could just make out the muted sounds of a heated discussion coming from the kitchen. Michael's voice was decidedly louder and more agitated and I was starting to worry I was going to find myself in the middle of a serious domestic situation. The only problem was how to discreetly withdraw when every single piece of clothing I had with me was locked in a closet in the room where the argument was taking place.
I walked to the patio doors and looked out into the garden. Fortunately there were several large trees in the otherwise fairly nondescript expanse of grass and shrubs so I was fairly sure I was screened from the neighbours. My head was beginning to throb and so I threw open the doors to let in some air and stepped cautiously onto the patio.
"Yes Kate, I knew he was going to be here. Just not like that!"
Their argument was now suddenly audible. Apparently the garden door to the kitchen was also standing ajar.
"I've explained what was going on. Don't act like you're so shocked. He's gay, what's the big deal anyway?"
"So I walk in and find some guy standing in my hallway with his cock hanging out and my wife standing next to him grinning, and what? I'm supposed to give him a fucking cigar?"
"I'm sure he'd love it if you gave him your cigar," she sniggered.
"It's not fucking funny Kate," said Michael from between what sounded like clenched teeth,
"I'm beginning to wonder who I married. You know I never picked you for a slu-"
There was a sudden short sharp SLAP, not unlike the sound you'd hear dropping a very large steak onto a marble chopping board. Surely he hadn't just hit her? Despite the completely bizarre nature of the situation, the thought that I might have to go in there and get between them flashed across my mind.
"Why did you do that?" It was Michael, the tone of his voice nothing like it had been a moment before. For a moment there was silence before he spoke again in a voice I almost didn't recognize.
"You shouldn't hit like that, it hurts," he whined.
"Oh grow up, I should have done it a long time ago," Kate replied angrily. "Considering what you've been up to the last week, you're lucky you still have your balls!"
"It was a mistake," the voice continued, "I just didn't know what else to do Kate.... I'm such a loser. I'm sorry," he sniffed.
"Not good enough Michael. Not after going behind my back all that time and then actually arranging to go to... her," she said indignantly.
"I know. But I got there and I just couldn't go through with it. She was 15 years older than she said for one thing. And she was...." His breath was heavy.
"She was what? As ugly as the ass end of a baboon?"
"She wasn't you Kate. She wasn't you," he said quietly.
"Well that's the first decent thing you've said since you got home Michael."
"I know. I'm sorry. I should never have asked you for something you couldn't give me."
I could hear her breathing slowly. She must have been just a few metres away, close enough for me to hear her sigh deeply.
"Well I've been doing some thinking about that actually. And André helped me decide something, so you should be grateful to him instead of being pissed off at him." I pricked up my ears on hearing my name.
"I don't blame him; it was just the weirdness of seeing him like that. I hope I didn't freak him out too much."
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" she asked, suddenly stepping onto the patio. I had no time to move back inside and as I shamefacedly opened my mouth to explain how I hadn't intended on eavesdropping, Kate raised her hand and waved away my unspoken excuses.
"I saw you reflected in the glass you silly boy, I knew you were there the whole time. But it's fine, you're part of this now and if anyone has some explaining to do, it's Mikey boy here," she said, jerking her thumb at her husband, who pulled an odd face at her as she did so.
"Why don't you tell André where you went this week?"
"What?" he asked, looking at her as if she'd asked him to tell me his most perverse sexual fantasy.
"Go on," she said, goading.
"I, umm... Went to visit a friend if mine."
"A friend," she snorted. "Remind me what the name of the website was where you met this 'friend' Michael."
"Oh, just one of those social media sites," he replied flatly.
"Oh no. No, you don't get off that easily. It was, let me see... what was it called again?" she asked with theatrical thoughtfulness. "Something with a 4 in it wasn't it Mikey?" I could see a distinctly worried look in his eyes.
"I've got it! Slaves4doms, that was it, wasn't it?" she exclaimed, looking as if she'd just guessed the correct number of jellybeans in a pot at the county fair. Michael caught my eye for the merest second, seeming to check my reaction. His eyes were really a most striking blue, and the combination of them meeting mine and the words I'd just heard threw me into temporary confusion. He dropped his chin and stared at the floor, but Kate was having none of it.
"Slaves4doms, that was it. How could I forget a name like that? So tell André what your 'friend' was looking for Michael. The reason you abandoned your wife for the best part of a week before you came to your senses." If anything, Michaels gaze sank even lower and he struggled to avoid eye contact with either of us.
