The exhilaration I felt at seeing Bill's jaw drop to the floor was everything to me. Sure, this was different, I wasn't cheating on him like he had with me, but after five years of belonging to him alone, this had to have hurt and humiliated him, especially since he had watched it happen. Washing Jake's cum off of my face in the shower, I realised that I wanted more. I wanted Bill to see me enjoying myself, to see what he had lost by cheating on me.
Over the next week, I ensured I had no free time to mope around the house for Bill to see. I set up a gym membership to attend workout and yoga classes and signed up to learn how to pole dance. Bill would never approve of the pole dancing, questioning why I would want to do it since he would be the only one seeing it which didn't help inspire me with any self-confidence. Looking back, it was probably another way he took control of my life, trying to take away my hobbies so that I relied more upon him for company.
On Friday, I looked for entertainment for the evening. It was tempting to call Jake again since I knew the sex would be good, but I didn't know if I could put up with his narcissism. After searching online, I found a mixed fetish and swinging event online and although I was nervous about attending, I pushed myself to go for it. As I registered my attendance for this evening, Bill approached me nervously, wearing the same black pair of panties he wore yesterday. If he planned to stay here much longer he was going to need to get more panties.
Without giving too much away, he asked to borrow money to pay towards the money he owed from gambling. I knew Bill well enough to see when he was hiding his true feelings, and he was scared. I didn't know how much money he owed, or who he owed, but he feared what would happen if he couldn't make that payment.
"Bill. You don't deserve any money from me, and you're not able to pay it back either, I know how little you earn."
Bill's face dropped and he pleaded, no, begged.
"Tell you what, do as I say to prepare me for the party this evening, and I will consider lending you the money. You will need to pay it back, there's no freebies anymore."
Bill agreed instantly. Clearly, the people he owed money to were not the types to be trifled with; that was worth remembering.
"What do you want me to do, Elizabeth?"
"Go run a bath and wait there for me."
Bill scurried off, eager to impress me enough to borrow the money he so desperately needed. I stepped out of my outfit and headed to the bathroom. It never occurred to me just how freeing and enjoyable it was to walk around my house naked. Bill wasn't the type that gave out compliments much and I never felt confident enough with my body to flaunt it like that, but things had changed. It started as a way to show Bill what he was missing out on, now the more I walked around naked, the more confidence I gained in my image.
The bath was ready when I stepped inside the bathroom and Bill was shocked to see me walk in without any clothes. I ignored his glances and stepped inside the bath, enjoying the warmth of the water as I submerged. For a moment, I relaxed, choosing to ignore his presence while he wondered why he had been told to wait there.
"If I'm going to allow you to stay here and lend you money when I should be kicking you out, I need to know it is worthwhile. If that means making you earn your stay with chores and humiliating you, I will do just that. Should you agree, you can stay here for the time being while you find your feet again, if not, you know where the door is. Understood?"
"Yes, I understand."
Bill sounded downtrodden, and it was hard not to see why. He was used to being the one in control in the relationship. Now he had been caught cheating and served with a divorce, the power had shifted and he realised just how much he had been relying on me to feed his gambling habit and finance his luxurious lifestyle. I knew that he never imagined he would be caught, he thought himself too smart for that. It wouldn't surprise me if he bided his time for a while before attempting to charm me again to take him back. I wouldn't do it, though. I held the power, and he would suffer.
"Right, get my razor and shaving cream from the cupboard."
With my razor in Bill's hand, I told him to rub the cream under my arms, into my legs and my pubic area and gently shave them. It was always so awkward doing it myself, at least this way I could relax in the bath while he ensured I was completely smooth.
"You can't be serious?"
Bill looked at me, astounded.
"I'm deadly serious. If you want me to lend you the money, I need to make it worthwhile for me. Be careful, I need you to focus entirely on the task at hand. You can't miss any hairs, and you need to be delicate so as not to cut me."
Bill nervously squeezed the shaving cream onto his hands and started under my arms. Worried that he might cut me with the razor, he focused hard as he shaved me, going slowly and delicately across my skin. It was nice having someone do this for me; it was a job I never enjoyed doing, but seeing Bill worriedly move onto my legs? It was enjoyable watching him squirm as he concentrated hard.
"Are you sure you want me to touch you there?"
I nodded, as Bill questioned about rubbing cream around my vagina after finishing my legs. It was interesting to see how he reacted, and as I suspected, he began shifting uncomfortably as his cock responded by growing hard in the confines of the panties. The temptation he felt was written all over his face as he looked at me hungrily, and I was thankful for the bath water hiding how much this excited me. He didn't dare to ask me for any more, and he did a perfect job ensuring that I was smooth down there without cutting my skin. It was far better and quicker than doing it myself, I may have to make this a regular thing for as long as he stays here.
Now smooth, I had Bill massage soap into my skin, noting his cock straining against the panties. He must have been so desperate to ask me to do something about his rock-hard cock, but he was rightfully too scared about losing the money I would lend him. I had him shampoo and condition my hair before rinsing, and then stood so that he could pat me dry.
"Good so far, Bill. Turns out you're not completely useless after all. Go to my room, find the latex underwear set that I wore for your birthday last year and lay it on the bed ready for me."
A flicker of recognition showed in Bill's eyes and he left me wrapped in a towel as he went to do as he was told. Taking my time, I strolled to my room to find Bill finishing up laying the outfit on the bed. It was a set consisting of a revealing black latex bra, panties with zipped access, a matching fishnet crop top and tights. Judging by his excitement, Bill must have thought I was wearing this for him as I asked him to rub talc powder onto my skin and help me into the outfit, but as soon as I was in the outfit I put over a faded band t-shirt and some leggings.
Bill's face dropped with the realisation that he wasn't getting any action, did he seriously think I was going to overlook what he had done so soon? I could barely contain my amusement as I stifled a giggle and instructed him to paint my nails in a black colour to match the outfit and had him assist me with the make-up, though that was more grabbing the right item, I didn't trust him to do my makeup at all, I'd end up looking like a clown.
With the make-up done, I put my shoes on and told Bill a list of chores I expected done and to not expect me back until late; I'd make my decision whether I was going to lend him the money then or not depending on how well he completed the chores, and what kind of mood I was in; although I wasn't going to tell him the latter. With his erection pushing like a tentpole against my black panties, he looked pathetic pouting like he was as I ordered a taxi to take me to the party for this evening.
The taxi dropped me off outside the venue for the adult-themed party. The building wasn't much to look at from the outside, if anything it looked like a seedy hotel that advertised itself as a private member's club. Nervously, I walked inside, not entirely sure what to expect as I joined a queue to sign in to the venue. A young couple greeted me warmly and pointed to a corridor where the lockers were based to drop off my belongings. They explained that members of their team acted as security if needed, though there were rarely any incidents and they were there should I have any worries or queries. Naturally, any electronic equipment was restricted within the private member area, and if I was expecting an important call, I should leave my phone at the reception desk for them to call me should it ring.
Signing my name, I paid the small entry fee and went straight to the door at the end of the corridor that opened to show a small corridor room. A naked woman smiled warmly at me as I passed her while she was changing her outfit and I found a private area around the corner to change.
Standing in front of the mirror, I admired the reflection that stared back at me. It was only a week since I'd started to make positive changes to my lifestyle, and although there was plenty of work to be done, I was proud of my body regardless. Taking a deep breath, I went to exit the locker room, aware that this was the first time I'd worn anything this revealing in front of anyone other than my partner.
It transpired that I had nothing to be nervous about. Within five minutes of walking out of the locker room, I had been complimented at least four times on my look, and everyone I encountered had been very welcoming. I sat near the bar, talking to people while ordering a cocktail for some liquid confidence. It looked much like a nightclub with the lighting except everyone was either naked or wearing very little, and there was a lot of sinister-looking equipment around the room.
With the courage of a few drinks behind me, I got up from the bar to socialise. I'd always been ignorant regarding this kind of lifestyle and I'd be the first to admit that I had probably made a judgement about the type of people who attended these parties. How wrong I had been! I watched people playing on the equipment, spanking, fucking, the act of domination, and I couldn't look away. There were more than a few things that piqued my curiosity, and I found myself reading the expressions of pleasure on the faces of those playing, wondering just what it would feel like physically and mentally to be in that position.
I returned to the bar to get another drink and take a minute to steady my excitement and racing mind. With everything going on around me, I wanted to get involved in the action, but I wasn't sure I felt confident enough to approach anyone. Like, How exactly did one do that anyway? Just find a person I liked the look of who was alone and ask them if they fancied fucking me? It seemed a bit cringe-worthy.
