Chapter 1

It was a hot scene, Edward had to admit. There was the beautiful blonde bouncing urgently up and down on the hunky yoga instructor’s cock. If it were not his wife that he was walking in on, Edward would find the scene arousing. Instead he felt sick to his stomach. So much was going through his mind the best option was to walk away so that he wouldn’t do anything he would regret.

Edward slipped out of the apartment he shared with his wife Penelope, in the Village and went to the bar across the street.  He wasn’t a big drinker, usually a beer if he went out with friends. But now he ordered a shot of tequila, downed it and ordered another.

He could see the front door of the high rise he lived in and sat and watched the door as he knocked back the second shot. The waitress asked, Can I get you something else?

Edward shook his head no; it wouldn’t do to get totally blitzed. He had to figure out what he was going to do. He knew things had been strained between him and Penelope, but he would never have guessed that she wasn’t being faithful.  He certainly had temptations that he could have given into, but he thought himself a man of honor and turned down advances from other women.

The anger was simmering under the surface, but he had to admit that he should shoulder some the blame too; he was working crazy hours. She probably was lonely. Penelope was high strung and insecure, he knew that about her before he married her, but liked the feeling of being needed so much. What he didn’t anticipate was that she would look elsewhere to get the attention she craved.

The irony was that he was coming home to tell her he had finally reached his goal. He now owned the company he used to work for. He was now a millionaire. All that hard work had paid off, but at what cost?

The anguish started anew when he thought about their daughter Francesca. He never wanted to be one of those divorced parents.  He had thought it would be forever with Penelope. He knew that they weren’t happy together, but kept thinking they would get past it at some point.

The more he thought about how much time he spent away from Penelope the more he realized this was inevitable. He resolved himself to trying to make things work with her.  He glanced up and saw Jean Pierre, the yoga instructor leaving the apartment. It was time to confront his wife.

When Edward walked through the door he just sat on the sofa and waited for her to come out of the shower.

Oh, hello Edward. What are you doing home so early? Penelope asked. She was so calm; he would never have guessed she had just had sex with someone who wasn’t her husband.

Edward wasn’t sure if he could respond.

What’s wrong Edward? Penelope showed concern.

How was Jean Pierre….in my bed? Edward asked.

Penelope paled. The silence was profound.

Is he a better lover than I am? Edward asked. He couldn’t believe it came out of his mouth. He hadn’t even been thinking about it.  But the idea that she would be unfaithful was a definite blow to his ego.

She pulled herself together. Actually he is.

If she had shot him with a rifle it couldn’t have hurt more.

So much for the amicable resolution to this situation Edward thought. Still too dumbfounded to respond, he watched her in stunned silence.

Well since everything is out in the open, I guess I can get out of here. Penelope turned to go pack her belongings.

What about Francesca? Edward asked quietly. At least that caused her to pause, Edward observed.

I’m sure she’ll be happier with you. Penelope stated flatly.

She’s a teenager, she needs her mother. As soon as Edward said the words he was sorry he said them. If she just left maybe he could get full custody, because he didn’t want his beautiful angel to turn out anything like this bitch standing in front of him. She had no remorse whatsoever. That was almost as hurtful as the infidelity itself.

Well I have other plans for the time being. I can get her for a couple of weeks when school is out. Penelope turned and left the room to go pack.

Edward was shocked. She wasn’t even going to fight for her child? How could he have been so wrong about a person? The anger was back, but there was no one to take it out on.

I’ll send for the rest of my things later. Penelope left with a bag over her shoulder and didn’t look back.

Edward called his lawyer to get the divorce papers filed along with the custody petition. Several hours later Francesca walked in the door.

Hi Dad! Francesca was holding a certificate in her hand.  I just won first place at the science fair! Where is mom? She said she was going to be there.

Edward took a deep breath and told his daughter that he and her mother were getting a divorce.  He held his daughter in his arms as she cried and vowed then and there never to let that woman hurt him or his daughter again.

***

It had been a year since he walked in on his wife and the yoga instructor. The divorce was brutal and even though he lost half of his newly acquired fortune, it was worth it to get Penelope out of their lives. Edward and Francesca now had a good routine going.

They lived in a penthouse in New York City. Francesca was missing her friends from her other school but seemed determined to make up the detriment of a missing wife/mother in their lives. She cooked dinner every night for him. His sweet girl wasn’t going to turn out like her mother.

But after a year, Edward found that he missed being intimate with someone. He had needs just like everyone. He definitely wasn’t ready for a relationship, but a release of sexual frustration was definitely in order. The problem was that he wasn’t a one night stand type of guy; so he approached his good buddy from college Rick for some advice.

Well you have come to the right place. Rick was drinking a Long Island iced tea while Edward nursed a beer.

So you keep telling me. I’ve been off the market for such a long time; I’m not sure how I would even approach a woman. Edward conceded.

Well it’s all about the internet man. Create a profile on any site. Tell the truth, embellish or downright lie it’s up to you. And I’m sure once they see who you are, New York’s richest most eligible bachelor you’ll have them beating down your door. Rick was smiling.

Edward was not. I don’t want some woman who is just trying to get with me for my money; I’m already paying an absurd amount of alimony. I don’t need to get into that situation.

I’m not sure that you’re going to be able to fly under the radar. How many magazines are you in this month alone? Rick was checking out the waitress taking the order at the next table and not really paying attention to Edward.

Damn it Rick! Can you take this seriously just for one minute? I came to you for help, not some glib diatribe!  Edward raked his fingers aggressively through his hair.

Rick was shocked by Edward’s outburst. He was usually a calm cool and controlled guy. So are you ready to think outside the box a little bit?

What does that mean? Edward asked cautiously.

Rick was a good buddy, but he was a little wilder than Edward could afford to be. They had been friends since college, so he trusted Rick, but only to a certain degree. And Rick wasn’t in the public limelight; Edward was beginning to realize that being a success wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. For one he didn’t have anyone to share it with. Secondly he would be under public scrutiny now and his business couldn’t afford to take a hit because of any reckless behavior on his part.

I’ve dabbled in a sex sub-culture that is fun, but not sure it’s for you man. You can be a little tightly wound sometimes. Rick arched an eyebrow at Edward and smirked.

Edward ignored the goading and focused on what Rick wasn’t telling him. Sex sub culture? What the hell did that mean?

Edward finally smirked back at Rick, What have you been up to?

They left the bar they were in and went to a little hole in the wall place that Edward would never thought preppy Rick Hines would have deigned to walk past, let alone frequent on a regular basis.

But as soon as they entered the Hot Spot as it was called, Edward understood.  It was a bondage den.  He wasn’t a prude, but he wasn’t sure he was into this. He had to admit it was a highly charged atmosphere. The promise of sex was in the air and his cock knew it. He was glad he was wearing loose fitting slacks. What he was seeing now intrigued Edward. Here was a whole world, where one could consensually act out their darkest sexual fantasy.  

There was a dance floor where scantily clad bodies swayed in time to the sensuous music wafting through the air. The walls were curtained off with sheer black curtains where nothing was really hidden from the imagination. Three of the five areas were occupied with couples in various sexual positions.

Edward shifted uncomfortably from side to side. Rick elbowed him, Hot isn’t it?

Edward just nodded his head unable to speak past the knot in his throat. At that moment a girl came up to Rick and asked, Master likes?

The pretty blonde turned around and touched her toes. Rick lifted up her tiny skirt, spanked her hard across her bare bottom and answered, Yes Master likes.

So clearly, Rick was a regular here.

Go wait for me in my booth Nikki. Rick told the girl and watched as the skimpily attired woman walked away.

Nikki and I have been seeing each other for about a month now. She’s a wonderful submissive. Rick never took his eyes off the young lady.

Submissive? Edward inquired.

Simply put, she gets off on being told what to do, no matter how outrageous. It’s quite the power trip. Rick smirked.

Edward wasn’t sure, it was intriguing to think that a woman would do anything he wanted, but the pleasure he got from being with someone was in knowing that it was good for them too. But what did he know? His wife left him for a yoga instructor who was better in the sack than he was. Maybe this would be an opportunity to figure out some things, sexually speaking.

This lifestyle lends itself to secrecy. Think about it. I know a certain district attorney who frequents here, but when you’re here it’s like Vegas. Rick said.

Whatever you do in the dark; always comes to light. Edward said.

Edward knew this wasn’t a smart choice, but he wanted it. It wasn’t like he was a movie star or a television celebrity. He was semi famous in the business world, but no one else would think twice about what he was into sexually. And this definitely had peaked his interest.

Join us in my booth.  Do as much or as little as you would like. See if this is up your alley. Rick turned and went the direction that Nikki had gone.

Edward hesitated a moment longer, but then followed. There was a sofa behind the curtained area that Rick referred to as the booth.  He could see they were silhouetted against the sheer fabric. Nikki was bent over and as Edward approached he could hear the stinging blows Rick was delivering to her bottom.

Edward entered, sat and watched Rick and Nikki together. He was so hard it was painful.  Nikki’s ass was red from how hard Rick spanked her. But each swat elicited a very non pained sounding moan from Nikki. She clearly got enjoyment from it.

I’m definitely an ass man, but I as I remember from college days, you are appreciative of a fine pair of breasts? Rick handed Edward a pair of nipple clamps. As Edward secured the first clamp to Nikki’s rosy   peak she sucked in air between her teeth. His eyes flew to hers and he watched them glaze over with desire.

He secured the second clamp to her other breast and she whimpered. He watched her face, but couldn’t tell if she liked it or not. Open your eyes and look at me.

She immediately obeyed. He liked what he saw, she was enjoying the sensations. But he didn’t know what to do next. He decided to
