Tell her about the date

“I think your ears are still too young to hear about my last date,” I tell Mindy, setting the hook.

“What? Come on, I’m twice your age! Start talking,” she insists too quickly, picking up an edge piece she had been looking for. She looks quite satisfied as she snaps it into place, then looks for more.

“In that case... I should preface the story by telling you that this was consensual, despite how it sounds.” Mindy gives me an uneasy glance, then forces herself to look down again. “I had a first date with my neighbor. She is married.”

Mindy stops and looks at me, troubled. “Maybe I don’t want to know...”

I press on. “Her husband wanted her to have an affair.”

“Wha—why would he want that?” She is dumbfounded.

“He is aroused by it. He wants her to flirt with other guys, and maybe have sex with one of them.”

“Really? Are you sure he isn’t just looking for grounds for divorce?”

“No, it is a kink. More common than you might expect.”

“So, they approached you about it?”

“I overheard them talking about it, so I offered my services, so to speak."

“Okay, for starters... How did you just overhear them talking about it?”

“Our bedrooms share a wall. I hear them having sex regularly. This time I happened to hear bedroom talk when the husband encouraged her to have an affair.”

“Uh-huh... So you just walked over and knocked on their door, I suppose. You all sat down together and you made a pitch?”

“I actually never talked to the husband. He might not know I was involved. I saw the wife in the hall and let her know that I really, really want to help their marriage.”

Mindy smirks and shakes her head. “I see. So noble of you. And she thought that made perfect sense...”

“I just took a chance. She didn’t answer right away, but later she asked me to meet her at the bar. I think she was interested since she is home a lot and probably hears when I have dates over, too. And maybe I feel safer than a complete stranger.”

Mindy shakes her head again. “That is some charmed life you live. How did the date go?” I am quiet for a while, unsure of what to say about it. Mindy notices my **** and looks up at me. “What? Are you getting shy now?”

“No...” I say defensively. “I’m just...deciding how to talk about it... Basically, I decided to role-play with that she was an escort. She went along with it pretty quickly.”

Mindy shakes her head. After a few moments of silence she shakes her head again. “Unbelievable.... That is too much! I literally don’t believe you.”
