Midnight at the Oasis Read online

  As I pretty much expected, we got a smattering of applause and a couple of catcalls when we entered the Showroom. Mai and Ted and their partners already were dressed. Mai was sitting in our loveseat. Mary and I kissed and separated. She and Dave gathered her clothes and went to their loveseat, and Karen joined Ted at theirs.

  Mai gave me a sly look. “You kit-kit two lady. I can tell!” She patted me on my thigh and whispered, “You kit-kit Karen, too, yeah?”

  “I’m incorrigible,” I said.

  “Yeah…that.” She smiled and shook her head.

  “So how was your guy?” I asked as I started to dress.

  Mai shrugged. “He okay. I kit-kit him couple time before he marry Manh, so nothing new for me.”

  I finished dressing while the others who were playing the current round of the game were deep in the process of undressing. I glanced over at Karen. Ted was fastening her bra. All things considered, I was a bit surprised that she was bothering to put it back on. And then it hit me. Ted probably wanted to play the game again, and Karen was more-or-less obligated to go along. My stomach knotted anew.

  I looked at Mai. She hadn’t bothered with her bra, which was typical of her. I wondered if that meant she wasn’t up for another round. It probably was a moot question, anyway, because I was drained for the time being.

  “So what?” Mai said. “You like go again?”

  “If you want, I’ll give it a try, but I’m not sure I can.”

  Mai nodded and jostled my balls. “You kit-kit two already! But that okay. Enough for me anyway.” She took my arm and leaned against my shoulder.

  The game in progress ended with all of the couples saying ‘when.’ I figured that wasn’t particularly surprising, inasmuch as the bolder couples had still been busy in the private rooms when the game had started. But now everyone was back, so the next round had possibilities.

  “Okay, everybody!” Sally said. “Time for another round. I know not all of you who’ve already been to the private rooms want to play again, so those who do, raise your hands.”

  Dave and Mary looked at each other and shook their heads. They were snuggled together looking quite content.

  I looked over at Ted and Karen. Both had their hands raised. My stomach did another flip-flop. Odds were good that yet another guy was going to fuck my Karen tonight.

  But then I had a realization. Even though we had been able to do a pretty good job of cleaning ourselves up with the wipes, Karen still had a pussy full of semen. So, if her next partner was intent on taking her to the private room, the game would require that he pull off her panties and go down on her first. I reconsidered the odds, and my stomach relaxed a bit.

  Of the five couples who had gone to the private rooms, only two decided to play again. Ted’s blonde and her husband were the other players.

  As Sally had the women change partners, Dave and Mary came over to me. “We’re going to go,” Mary said. She smiled at Mai and looked back at me. “Thanks,” she whispered. Dave shook my hand and nodded, and they turned and left.

  “You like go, too, or you like watch?” Mai asked.

  “We have to wait for Karen and Ted.”

  “Oh…I forgot! Oh, well…good. I like see who kit-kit Karen next.” Now my stomach knot was back.

  This round of the game started off with seven couples. By the time they were dry-humping in their underwear, only three were left: Ted was paired with the same blonde as before. Karen was paired with the Korean man who had been Mai’s original partner before his wife pulled the plug. And the Korean wife was with the blonde’s husband.

  I was pretty sure I knew how this one would end. The Korean guy wasn’t going to get laid. Odds were good that his wife would pull the plug again. But if she didn’t, he’d probably do it himself. Both Karen and the blonde had pussies full of semen. I figured the Korean guy would balk when he was faced with going down on either of them.

  His wife had a rather smug look on her face as she dry-humped the blonde’s husband. I wondered if she was getting some perverse pleasure out of knowing that it was her husband who would pull the plug this time.

  In either event, the departure of the Korean couple would leave Ted with his same blonde and Karen with the blonde’s husband. I wondered if Ted and the blonde would want to go another round. Somehow, I had a little trouble imagining that he’d pass up the opportunity. And he might not mind going down on her. He’d just be tasting his own semen, and what real man hasn’t done that?

  But would the blonde’s husband be willing to go down on Karen? The knot in my stomach started to relax. Chances were that he’d say “when,” too, leaving only Karen and Ted.

  Ted and the blonde started to whisper. They seemed to reach some kind of agreement, and to my surprise, the blonde pulled the plug. This was an unexpected turn of events. It meant that Ted now would be paired with the Korean wife, a possibility I hadn’t considered. If anything, I figured that made it even more likely that Ted and Karen would end up as the last couple.

  The knot was gone from my stomach, replaced by an unexpected mantle of disappointment.

  “Oh-oh,” Mai said. “Look like Karen kit-kit Korean guy. I think she like him. He have big one, you know. I felt when I was with him first time.”

  Now the knot was back. But I tried to reassure myself. There was no way this guy was going to go down on Karen’s semen-drenched pussy.

  I’d know soon enough.

  “Okay, men!” Sally said. “Take off her panties and go down on her.”

  The Korean wife paid scant attention to Ted as he removed her panties and buried his head between her thighs. She was staring at her husband…as was I.

  He and Karen were standing, face-to-face. She had a grip on the considerable bulge in his briefs. Karen looked directly at me over his shoulder as she hugged him with her other arm and whispered in his ear. He slid his hands down her bare back and inside her panties. He mauled her ass as he bent his knees and sucked her nipples. Then he pushed her panties down her legs. As she stepped out of them, I could see that the crotch was soaked with semen. She sat down on the edge of the loveseat. He dropped to his knees and pushed her thighs apart. He stuck out his tongue and gave her folds a big lick.

  Okay, so he wasn’t going to pull the plug. But I was sure his wife would. I looked back at her. She wasn’t even paying any attention to her husband. She had her head leaned back with her eyes closed, her fingers intertwined with Ted’s as he sucked on her clit.

  “Okay, ladies!” Sally said. “Pull off his underwear and suck his cock.”

  Mai was right. The Korean guy was hung. Not much longer than average, but nice and thick. Karen stuck out her tongue and licked the precum from his head before engulfing him.

  I looked at his wife. Her face was in Ted’s pubic hair. She obviously had a fair amount of his cock down her throat.

  “Okay, couples!” Sally said. “No point in dragging this out. Let’s get to the main event. Go to your private rooms!”

  I thought the Korean wife surely would pull the plug now. She did not. I felt that old, familiar knot when I saw Karen take the Korean guy’s hand and stroll to the private rooms with him.

  The other couples started to drift out of the Showroom. I supposed the night was over for everyone except the two couples in the private rooms. Were it not for the fact that Ted and Karen had ridden with us, Mai probably would have wanted to leave, too. But since we couldn’t, we each got another drink and settled back in our loveseat to wait. Karen’s abandoned clothes…particularly her semen-soaked panties…were an unsettling sight.

  After about 20 minutes, the Korean wife appeared and started to dress. A minute or so later, Ted followed. He and the Korean wife finished dressing and sat down in their separate loveseats. And now the four of us waited.

  More than an hour passed before Karen and the Korean guy finally reappeared, holding hands as they ambled into the room.

  When Mai and I got home, the light was f
lashing on the landline’s answering machine. Mai pushed the button, and a raspy man’s voice rattled off a message in Vietnamese.

  “My brother,” Mai said. “He say mom very sick. Maybe die soon. I need go Vietnam right away.”

  I asked if she wanted me to come along, knowing that I’d be useless for anything other than moral support because I didn’t speak the language. Mai said it wasn’t necessary, and it would take too long to get a visa for me, anyway.

  That was fine with me. I didn’t want to be away during what little time Karen had left on the island. And I figured I always could go to Vietnam later if Mai needed me. But, her mother had been on her death bed intermittently for as long as I’d known Mai, so odds were good that her mother would suffer yet another recovery.

  * * * *

  Two days later, Mai was on an airplane headed for Vietnam via Taipei. I was driving back from the airport when my phone rang. Caller ID said it was Crystal. I pressed the button on my steering wheel and answered.

  “Hi, Baby.”

  “Hi, Daddy. Okay to talk?”

  “Yeah, it’s fine. I’m alone in my car.” I hadn’t actually seen Crystal since that night at Sally’s Club some weeks ago. “What’s up?”

  “Well, Bill call me. He ask me out for dinner and dancing…you know, like first time we met.”

  I remembered. It had been part of our scheme to “introduce” Bill to Ted and Karen. “Okay,” I said.

  “So I call to ask you what you like I do.”

  “What do you want to do?”

  “I like keep my Daddy happy.”

  I smiled to myself. “I appreciate that, but I want you to be happy, too.”

  “You always make me happy, Daddy.”

  Ah…flattery will get you anywhere…especially if you look like Crystal. “Well, I think you should do whatever you want to do. If you want to go out with him, go ahead. And if you don’t, don’t. Either way is fine with me.”

  Crystal was silent for a while. “Are you sure, Daddy? You no be mad if I go out with him?”

  “Seriously, Sweetheart, it’s fine. Do whatever you want to do.”

  “Okay, Daddy.” She was silent.

  “So I’m curious,” I said finally. “What are you going to do?”

  “Well, I had fun with him last time.” And she went home with him last time.

  “Okay…well, have a nice time.”

  “Daddy?”

  “Yes?”

  “Um…one more thing. Karen call me.”

  I got an uneasy feeling. “Oh?”

  “She sweet to me. Say okay if I want see Ted again.”

  That was intriguing. I wondered why Karen would be procuring sex partners for her husband. “Interesting,” I said. “Do you want to see him again?”

  “It okay. All depend on what you want me do.”

  I decided I’d keep my options open until I’d had a chance to chat with Karen. “Well, why don’t I give that some thought? We can talk about it later.”

  We chatted a bit about how she was doing in school and said goodbye.

  I wanted to talk to Karen, but I was reluctant to call her. I didn’t know how things were going between her and Ted. So far as I knew, he still was unaware of the depth of my relationship with his wife, and I didn’t want to risk raising any alarms by calling her if he was around.

  I blocked my caller ID and dictated a text message to her. Congratulations! You are the big prize winner! To claim your prize, call our offices before midnight!

  Karen would know the text was from me and would call when she could speak freely. About five minutes later, she called. She was still chuckling when I answered.

  “Just saw your message,” she said.

  “What message?”

  “Oh, stop it!”

  “Okay…caught me. I assume you can talk?”

  “Yeah. Ted took the girls out for some ice cream. What’s up?”

  “Just got a call from Crystal.”

  “And?”

  “Well, she mentioned that you had called her.”

  “Yeah. And she called just to tell you that?”

  “No, she actually called about Bill. Apparently, he asked her out, and she was wondering if it was okay to go out with him.”

  “Okay with whom? You?”

  So far as I knew, Karen was unaware of my “sugar daddy” relationship with Crystal, so I decided to do a bit of obfuscating. “She wanted to know if I thought you would be upset if she did. She said you said it was okay for her to see Ted, but you hadn’t said anything about Bill.”

  “Oh, I see. So you called to ask me if it was okay with me if Crystal went out with Bill?”

  I decided to bait her just a bit and see what happened. “No, I assumed you’d be okay with that.”

  “Yeah…I haven’t had much time for him lately, and things aren’t going to get any better. Poor guy probably needs to get laid. So why did you call?”

  “I was wondering about your motivation for calling Crystal about Ted.”

  “Oh… Well, I thought it would be in my best interest under our ‘anything goes’ agreement. Ted had a good time at Sally’s couples’ party the other night, but we can’t be doing everything as a couple, you know? I have my own…well, you know. So I’m a little concerned about what Ted might do when I’m off doing something on my own. I mean, I don’t want him picking up hookers off the street and stuff like that. So I thought maybe I’d try to arrange some suitable…um…outlets for him. And since he seemed to be so hot for Crystal, I thought I’d let her know it was okay with me.”

  Of course, Karen didn’t know that Crystal wanted guidance from me. I didn’t want to make Crystal feel like she was obligated to be with Ted, but I decided I’d gently encourage her to see him.

  “I see. But do you think Crystal will be enough to occupy him?” I asked.

  “No. I’ve been trying to come up with some other possibilities, too.”

  “What about Sally’s sorority girls? There are enough of them to keep him out of trouble.”

  “Yeah, but I don’t know how that could work. For one thing, he’d have to pay them through Sally, but I don’t want him to know anything about Sally’s involvement with the sorority. Also, I don’t want him to know about the Oasis. I mean, he knows I’m doing some work for Sally, but I don’t want him to know where she lives or where I’m staying when I’m not home.”

  I thought it wouldn’t be hard for Ted to find out where Sally lived. All he had to do was follow her home from her club sometime. But I didn’t see any reason to bring up something Karen couldn’t do anything about, so I didn’t bother to mention it.

  “There’s also the matter of the cost,” I said. “The sorority girls aren’t cheap. But putting that aside for a moment, maybe something could be arranged where he meets one of them somewhere else and thinks he just got lucky.”

  “Maybe,” Karen said. She was silent for quite a while. “But there’s still a bit of a problem. Where would he take her? Not our house. We agreed neither of us would bring anyone home, unless it was something we did together. You know, as a couple, we could invite you and Mai or something, but no separate dates.”

  “Makes sense. You wouldn’t want to scandalize the neighbors, and then you have your daughters to think about.”

  “Well, actually, the girls are about to go spend the summer with their grandparents while we…um…get ready to move.”

  I felt a punch in the stomach. We both were silent for a little while.

  “By the way,” Karen said. “I got your remote control back from Ted. I told him it was for Sally’s place, and that’s why I hadn’t wanted to tell him earlier.”

  “But you didn’t start working for her until after Ted found it.”

  “True, but Ted doesn’t know that.”

  I cleared my throat. “Anyway, back to a place for Ted. I suppose he could take his date to a hotel. Of course, that adds to the cost.”

  “Maybe. It would make sense to do that if he
knew she was a…professional. But wouldn’t that seem like a creepy thing to do with a woman he just happened to meet? I mean, wouldn’t she expect him to take her to his place…or her place?”

  “I suppose so. Too bad he doesn’t have a man-cave.”

  “Well, don’t let him use yours! That’s our place!”

  “Oh, no, I wasn’t suggesting that. I was just saying…”

  “But what about your house? I wouldn’t mind if he took her up there. Of course, Mai might…”

  “Actually, Mai is on her way to Vietnam. Family emergency. I just dropped her at the airport.”

  “Oh! So what do you think? Maybe you and Ted could work something out about your place?” Her voice softened, “And then you and I could use our place.”

  “Maybe so. I’ll give it some thought. Probably makes sense for him to meet Crystal there, anyway. And then we can see after that.”

  Karen was quiet for a little while. “Why don’t you try to set something up for Ted and Crystal on Saturday night? I have some plans, and it would be good if he was occupied.”

  “Do these plans by any chance involve me?”

  Karen was quiet again. And then she said softly, “No…sorry…”

  “Okay… I…um… I guess I’ll call Crystal. I’ll send you another stupid text if it’s a go.”

  I called Crystal and asked if she had made a date with Bill yet. She hadn’t, so I asked if she would mind keeping herself free to do something for me on Saturday. She readily agreed and asked what she’d be doing. I told her I’d let her know when I figured it out.

  * * * *

  I needed to come up with a way to get Ted and Crystal together at my house on Saturday night. I decided there was no sense in trying anything too complicated. I’d just call him up and stick as close to the truth as I could. Chances were good that all his blood would run to his cock, and he wouldn’t have enough brain power left to question my motives.

  “So how did it go with Karen after Sally’s couples party,” I asked when I got him on the phone.
