What Goes Around...

"Have a good one, Nick!"

"Sure, Jon, see you Monday."

Nick shouldered his bag and shot down the stairs. In a moment, the office of Hastings Plumbing was behind him and he was in the car, on his way home.

He thought about his girlfriend, Alice. He'd been getting less and less happy with her, recently; she wasn't tall enough, she wasn't that pretty and she was getting dull. On top of all that, she never wanted to do anything exciting or different, and Nick had had enough of giving up all the other girls for her. If he was going to stay with her, she would have to be those other girls for him - there would be an ultimatum tonight and some changes would be made.

He came under the underpass and stopped at the lights. Home in a minute. He felt himself getting hard inside his jeans at the thought of the things Alice would do for him, if she wanted to keep him. The light went green, and Nick turned into Apple Tree Drive and again into the drive of his house.

Smells assaulted him as he opened the door. "Nick!" called Alice, "Dinner's ready. Chili - your favorite!"

"Never mind that," replied Nick as he entered the kitchen. "We need to talk."

Alice's face fell. She knew well what that meant - she was about to lose her man again. She sat at the kitchen table and waited for what she knew would come next.

"Alice, honey, I'm a red-blooded man. I need more," Nick began. Alice listened and sighed. "If I'm going to stay with you, there need to be some changes made around here."

"Changes?" thought Alice, hopefully. "Isn't he leaving?"

"First of all, tonight, we're going to make love. But not how we usually do. You're boring. Tonight, you're going to do everything I tell you to. You're going to dress up in all those sexy clothes I've been buying you and you never wear. And you're going to put on all that makeup, and you're going to do whatever I want. If I'm giving up all those other girls for you, you'll have to make up for it for me."

Alice looked worried. "But Nick, you know I have a problem with that. I can't wear all that stuff - it's embarrassing!"
