What a memorable evening for a one-night stand.
It is the mid-1980's and I am tour managing a new band for Warner Bros. We are playing a showcase club in the midwest and the club manager and I had been trading teasing lines and double entendres since load in."
Her name is Donna and she runs the venue well. She's a sharp operator with a quick wit.
As the day and evening progresses a joking, semi-sexual tension develops between us. She is definitely not what one would call pretty but she has plenty of vibe. The band and crew continually comment on the 'dyke manager', but I am intrigued.
With jeans, a Dickies work shirt, and a short hair cut, there is admittedly a bit of a butch vibe to her look, so I could be misinterpreting everything.
With the band on stage, we close the box office and proceed to settle the show. Turn out was good and both club and artist go into nice percentage bonuses. As I am counting out the overage and separating bills, she comes around the table, turns the office chair I am sitting in until it faces her, then puts her hands on my knees and leans her face toward mine.
"It takes about an hour to clear the house. Can you get your band back to the hotel and be back here by then? I want to take you home..."
AIDS is a troubling reality at this time and I pause, I also can't quite believe this the conversation during a show settlement ... Not to mention the way it is delivered. No kiss, no surreptitious rubbing against me, just an invitation with an assumption on my end. The long pause in response, causes her to elaborate.
"Look, drive yourself, you can leave anytime, but I am clean, safe, have very few partners and most are women. When you see why, you will understand. I am not a lesbian, but most cock is not enough for me, which means that most men don't like being with me as they get intimidated by my love of big toys".
"Fair enough" I declare. I am a bit deflated about the size thing and certainly intimidated, but aroused by her direct and open manner and all that is left unsaid.
I lean forward to kiss her, but she avoids my lunge, laughs and pats the top of my hand as she stands up and returns to her desk. Okay, this one is going to be different for sure. This show is a fly leg and we have two town cars for the band and a 15 pax van for the crew. One band cat opts to stay, trolling at the bar before last call.
The crew is on their own, packing up our travel gear and leaving the local rental rigs onstage. I ferry my carload back to the hotel, grateful we have a late wake-up tomorrow.
Dropping my briefcase in my room, I lock my cash in the room safe and head back to the venue. Back at the club, the trolling band member is gone and the crew are piling into the van.
I respond to their quizzical looks with "Just a few issues to resolve on settlement. See you guys tomorrow."
While it is a 1,500 seat showcase club, that does not change the fact that deep in it's DNA, it's just a bar ...
Even though I had only left 40 minutes earlier, the smell still smacks me in the face -- stale beer, cigarettes, body odor, mildew. A dead, static environment once you remove the music and audience.
The door to the office is locked, so I knock. Donna opens the door, her jacket on, a leather bag on her shoulder. "Let's go," she says as she double bolts the door. A security guy and two bar-backs wave goodbye to her and I imagine that I see knowing smirks exchanged by them all.
"Follow me, it's about a 10-minute drive."
She climbs into a nicely restored canary yellow El Camino with Cragar mags and I shake my head as the woman grows more complex with each moment. Driving behind her barely muffled V8, I can hear that it is in fine fettle and obviously more than just a cosmetic restoration.
In the middle of a typical suburban sprawl, we drive into a two-block section of old storefronts. A few are boarded and vacant, a few have old, faded signs and occupants (a dry cleaner, a stationer), but most are hip, new, little boutiques, mostly clothing outlets. It's a semi gentrified, bohemian rejuvenation of what was probably a wasteland 5 years prior and a thriving ethnic neighborhood 20 years before that.
The buildings are brick and look to have been built in the 1930s. Each side of the street is four stories tall. Pulling around back, she parks up behind a yoga studio and waves me into the spot next to hers. An exterior wooden staircase, with little landings on each floor sits against each of the semi detached buildings.
Without me asking, she opens the hood of her El Camino.
"It's not even close to stock, 454 box motor and a 4 barrel Edelbrock as you can see. Inside, everything is balanced, polished, ported etc, etc. She's my baby. I do some of the really basic wrenching, but farm out all the important shit."
With that, she lowers the hood until it rests on the latch hook. Making sure I am watching, she takes two fingers and pushes it shut with a simple thunk.
"That took forever to get right. The arms on this hood were so jacked up that we had to search every junk yard in the state to find replacements and even then, it took repeated adjustments."
Her pride is obvious and I am impressed. I follow her up to the third floor into a large sort of railroad flat. We enter in the rear through the kitchen. Then there is a hallway on the left. A bathroom opens on the right side of the hallway and appears to run its length.
The front flairs back out to the full width of the apartment with a large, open area serving as bedroom and living room. A pair of Japanese reed screens shield the sleeping area from the living area.
Donna is most definitely not a housekeeper. The bed is unmade, assorted clothing is thrown on the couch, bed, and floor. It's not really dirty, but it is messy.
There are four Japanese woodblock prints on the wall. They are all framed and to my eye of high quality. The largest is Hokusai's famous "Great Wave". I know a bit about ukiyo-e art and decide to show off, complimenting her on the Hokusai and asking her if she is familiar with other ukiyo-e artists. Smiling, she points to one of them.
"That's a Yoshitoshi, from the 100 Aspects of the Moon series, but the others are all Hokusai."
The Yoshitoshi print is almost monochromatic, with a large, full moon anchoring the bottom left-hand corner, a rock cliff in the foreground, a warrior, struggling to climb its outcropping, while tall grasses before and behind him pull incredible depth from the print. It is truly remarkable work.
The next Hokusai is a burst of color, showing a river scene, filled with activity both on the shore and on the water. Kites fill the sky, and every group of people seem to have a story. Moving to the last one, I can feel Donna watching me as I take it in.
"Shunga" she says. "It means picture of spring, a Edo period euphemism for sex. Most of the ukiyo-e artists did shunga, it was very popular among all the classes and people would hang the prints in their homes."
A woman is lying astride a young man, her disproportionately large vulva spread open and his rather immense cock, veins bulging, is half buried in her while semen drips out of her and runs down his shaft. One of her breasts hangs free, but the rest of their bodies are covered in kimonos or robes.
But certain things are a bit off. Feet are smaller than hands. Thighs are the size of torsos, with stick-like calves. Each of their heads is twisted at unnatural angles. And yet the key pattern on the bed covering is perfect, it's intricacies laid in with architectural accuracy. The cherry blossoms on her kimono are just as detailed and accurately flow as the material wraps her body.
When one steps back and simply takes it as a whole, everything falls together and you literally can feel the ravenous, lust of the woman as she pleasures herself on the listless young man's penis. Hokusai has been meticulous with the folds of her labia, using color to give it depth, the same way he details the veins bulging from the shaft of the man's penis.
My throat constricts a bit and I can feel a slight pressure on my chest as my arousal blooms.
"So what do you think?"
There is a definite teasing tone to her voice. She knows she has cut me down a notch from my cocky recognition of the Great Wave and trying to show off my limited knowledge of Ukiyo-e art. I start to explain my thoughts about the weird presentation and proportions of the body versus the precise detail of the textiles and sex organs, but she cuts me off.
"You are missing the point. Here, look at these."
She pulls a well worn book from the shelf. The cover is another Shunga picture and the text is all kanji. It's a Japanese collection of Shunga prints. They show all imaginable positions. Like the one on the wall, the cocks are enormous, and some of the penis crowns are almost the size of a person's head.
Most of the faces are simply drawn with narrow, slitted eyes and small mouths, but the artists are able to imbue a lot even with those limitations. While there are some portrayals that truly appear to be love making, the bulk shows one partner taking their pleasure from the other.
90% are coital, with a few showing cunnilingus or masturbation. There is no fellatio. I slowly flip through the pictures, most definitely on my back foot and now wanting to simply get back to equal ground. I am on her playing field and I know it.
"There is no connection between most of these other than the taking of sexual pleasure..."
"Bingo!, Exactly" she says, taking the book from my hand and replacing it on the shelf.
"Do you think that's because the 'floating world' focus of Ukiyo-e emulated the concubine's world?" I ask.
Her head whips back around and she gives me an exaggerated look up and down.
Shaking her head, she mumbles to herself, but loud enough that she knows I can hear.
"This one is full of surprises, isn't he? ... So you know about the floating world? Impressive. I am not sure, but the picture turns me on because the woman in this one is fully in control and not asking for anything beyond her physical satisfaction."
She leads me back to the kitchen, which is the opposite of the living area. It's neat and tidy, with washed dishes racked next to the sink. The counter tops and kitchen table are spotless, in fact, everything kind of sparkles ...
I wonder, will the contradictions never end? I consider parroting her comment about surprises back at her, but change my mind.
She takes a bottle of Stolichnaya from the freezer and grabs two shot glasses from the cupboard. Sitting down, she fills each and pushes one over to me.
"I don't drink until work is done and you already told me the same when I offered you a shot at settlement, so we are both starting out sober for this game."
"What game?"
"Well, you could call it strip poker or strip blackjack, but I just like to think of it as a fun way to get naked and get a buzz on at the same time. I'm all about efficiency."
I have played games like this with women before and always have ended up 'losing', naked way earlier than they. It's mostly because women have lots of accessories while men have few. I quickly scan Donna and realize that except for an assumed bra and panties, we are pretty even. She gets a deck of cards from a kitchen drawer and shuffles them.
"Okay, first card shows, second and more are covered. Highest under 21 wins -- over 21 loses."
The first three hands go to her and I am quickly shoeless with one sock remaining on my left foot. I also have a warm vodka wave washing over me. The next hand goes to me and she stands and takes off her work shirt, no coy start with shoes, straight to some flesh. She notes my reaction.
"Hey, I told you, 'it's a way to get naked and get a buzz on."
She smiles, downs her shot, and pours another. I am already two ahead of her and while not naked, most definitely have a buzz on. As she slowly deals the next hand, I see that her figure is not as blocky as her outfit suggests. The work shirt hid a pronounced waist and her bra is a runner's bra, holding her breasts tightly against her chest and denying any bulges of the female form.
I have blackjack, sit on my two cards and watch her go over. This time she does her shot first and then her belt comes off. My turn to deal. The vodka is spreading its warmth through me and I am starting to feel at home with this decidedly different woman.
I show a jack and have a 3 hidden. She shows an 8. We both take cards, I get a 5 and decide to rest. She takes one, then another and flips them over to reveal a 5 and a jack. We are now even on the losses, but you couldn't tell from our attire as she steps out of her jeans, standing there in stockinged feet.
I start to comment on where her boots went but she stops me a look, reminding me of the true purpose of the game. Like her bra, her bikini briefs are tan cotton, more athletic than sexy, but they cling tightly and there is a pronounced 'camel toe' showing the cleft of her labia.
I lose the next hand and as I reach down to take off my last sock, I get a glimpse of real disappointment in her eyes (I have obviously not grasped the game's purpose) and I quickly stand and take off my shirt.
She smiles, I have finally grasped the game's purpose.
"Nice! You're tattooed as well!"
Throwing down my 4th shot, I reach across the table and fill the shot glass myself. Losing the next hand she laughs, tosses down her fourth, and then reaches around to undo her bra. Lifting one strap forward and then the other, she drops her arms and lets it slide down over her forearms, wrists, and hands to lie on the table, obscuring the playing cards, which I think have now served their purpose.
The bra slide must be a parlor trick because why else would I have followed its trail rather than watching her breasts escape it's hold? Looking back up, I see she has already cupped her palms under each, supporting their weight and presenting them to me.
"Nice, huh?" she asks.
The athletic bra had flattened and obscured two fulsome breasts of near-perfect shape and symmetry with dark brown, half-dollar size areola. A first for me is her pierced nipples, each wearing a heavy gauge ring with a ball closure.
I swallow deeply, "Yeah, very nice..."
"Okay, the game is over, I lost, I won, we won -- but it seems to me that you need to even the score."
Needing no urging, I pull off my remaining sock and strip out of my jeans, my erect cock barely held by the skimpy briefs I am wearing. She leads me to the messy bedroom where she pulls the duvet and top sheet off the bed, tossing them in the corner, leaving no doubt of the bed's purpose this evening.
She opens the dresser drawer, which is as neatly maintained as the kitchen. Inside are an array of sex toys, neatly lined up, pulling out the next drawer, there are more of the same and she begins examining them carefully...
Without turning around, she continues her assessment and says "Lie down, and let me set the mood."
I fluff up some pillows and lie back, watching her. She disappears behind the screen for a moment. I hear a switch click and the hum of a tube amp warming up and Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" fills the room, not at all what I expected, contradiction after contradiction.
She reappears with several large votive candles. She lights and places them around the room, finally turning off the overhead light. The result is wonderful. There is a mellow, amber palette to the room but enough light that it glints off her piercings and shows the defined furrow in her panties.
Turning back to the dresser, she begins laying her choices across the top. There are nipple clamps, a small box with wires and alligator clips, several dildos of various sizes and shapes, a flogger, a pair of hand cuffs, four neoprene Velcro cuffs, some rope, and a leather jock strap. By now, the crown of my penis is out above the waistband of my briefs, but as I go to stuff it back inside, she stops me.
"Let's just see what happens naturally from here on. Now, let me lie down where you are and you can follow my instructions."
We swap positions and begins to direct me. She has me wrap her wrists and ankles with the neoprene cuffs and then arranges herself spread eagle on the bed. I had not noticed earlier, but there is a 3" stainless steel ring anchored on mattress-level posts at each corner of the bed. She has me tie the restraints to each one, taking up any slack and leaving her entirely helpless.
I have always fantasized about bondage, but lack any experience. It feels like my hands are shaking but they appear steady.
"Don't worry, I trust you" she says in response to whatever look my face must have been wearing... "And oh, by the way, you are going to have a chance to trust me too!"
With that stimulus, my cock swells and rolls out over my waistband, my balls still held in the pouch of the briefs......
"Huh, Nice looking cock..."
Like her comment about her own breasts, it was not really a compliment. Just a statement. Not sexually tinged, no innuendo at all, no intimation of what she might want to do with it, so fucking weird.
She has me place the little black box between her legs, connect the wires to the two upper terminals and clip the alligator clips to the ball closures of her nipple rings. Following her direction, I flip the switch to on and gradually turn up the voltage,
"Slower."
I slow down.
"Stop."
And I do. Her eyes are closed, her lips parted slightly and she begins to pant lightly ...
"More."
I turn it up a few more degrees on the dial and her mouth opens wider, her chest now moving in and out, gulping air. The cleft in her tan panties is growing dark as her glandular flow starts seeping out.
"More."
Another two degrees and her arms are pulling at the restraints, her pelvis raising off the bed as she gulps for air. Her panties are now soaked and she is thrashing about on the bed. Without realizing it, I have taken my cock in hand and am stroking myself as she writhes in front of me.
"Okay, okay, enough!" She cries and I begin dialing it back.
"Mmmmmnnnhhh, so something happened naturally, I see", she says looking at my hand around my cock. I guess we don't need them anymore do we?"
I begin to unhook the alligator clips.
"Silly, I'm talking about our underwear, but first, I need some water."
Hopping off the bed, I head to the kitchen for some water and come back with a tumbler full of tap water. Filling my mouth, I go to kiss it into hers, but she shakes her head.
"I don't like kissing, that's for lovers, we are not lovers, we are not making love, you can spit it in, but don't try and kiss me again."
She opens her mouth wide and from 6" over her, I purse my lips and let the stream find her. Some splashes on her face, some on the pillow, but she does not seem to care.
"Thanks, okay, now the panties."
I quickly step out of mine, my balls finally swinging free.
"You might have an average cock there, mister, but those are the biggest balls and sack I have ever seen, we're gonna have to find a use for them tonight!"
I go to unhitch her leg restraints but she stops me again.
"In my bedside table, there is a straight razor, get it and cut my panties off me."
Sure enough, inside the drawer, there are actually two straight razors. I pick one out and carefully open it, exposing it's gleaming, hollow ground edge and mirror-polished surface...
So, I am in an apartment that I don't even know the address of, no one knows I am here, with a woman I just met, who has intimated she will eventually tie me down and she keeps two straight razors in her bedside table. Suddenly, my raging hard-on goes flaccid and it is immediately noticed by Donna.
"Yeah, I expected as much... Well hey, thanks for the nice restraint-assisted zap, greatly appreciated. But if this is as far as you can go, untie me and we can call it quits now."
She gives me this kind of attitude, while tied to a bed with me holding a straight razor. It clearly points out that my perspectives on the upper hand and who is vulnerable might be a bit out of whack.
She is laying down her definition of trust. A little roughly, but I decided to go with my libido and gut rather than common sense. I pull her panties away from her waist, cutting the waist and thigh bands on each side with the straight razor.
Pulling the front triangle down like a flap, I pull the back triangle out from under her. Another surprise as she is fully waxed, and her hood is pierced with another ring, the ball closure riding on an obviously aroused clitoris. My cock is getting whiplash as it proceeds to go rigid as quickly as it went soft only a minute before.
"Yeah, I thought that might get your attention." She laughs. "Okay big fella, let me tell you what we are going to do. You are going to make me come and then I am going to do the same for you, but you have to trust me each step of the way. No faltering, no negotiating. Okay?"
My mouth is filled with cotton and I have to take several swigs from the tumbler before I answer.
"Yes, Ma'am."
"None of that! No Daddy or Mommy shit. No role-playing. We are not doing discipline or domination here, the bondage is just a means to an end, each way, are we clear? Only one safe word: STOP. If you want to stop, you just say so, and we stop. But once we stop, it's over and you go home to your hotel and your pathetically straight rock band -- fair enough?
"Okay."
"Any one of your tour mates would have run for the door the moment I dropped my bra" ... (she reconsiders) "Well, maybe not then, but definitely the moment I opened my toy drawer. Very few fellows get this far, it's usually only the girls that go all the way. This is our own little Shunga session, mine and then yours. You serve me, I serve you, no messy involvement. Now, go get another wire and clip. I think you can figure out where it goes."
This time I have to steady my hands as I connect the third terminal and clip onto the ball over her clit.
"Go ahead and dial it all the way down before you switch it on, my clit is waaay more sensitive than my nipples. Get two of those nipple clamps and put them on the tips of my nipples, above the ring."
I do as directed. I place the first clamp around her nipple. As I release the spring she takes a sharp intake of breath and then settles back, calming her breathing, the nipple growing under the clip's pressure, swelling out and thus securing itself in the spring's grip. I repeat the process on her other nipple.
"Now, turn on the box and just leave it on that lowest seating. As I flip the switch, she jolts a little but continues to direct me, her eyes closed.
"There is a tube of KY on the dresser, grab it and the dildos and bring them over here. Loosen my leg ties a bit so I can get my pelvis off the bed. Put the smaller dildo inside me and then slowly start fucking me with it."
The smallest dildo is about 8" long, making it at least 2 or 3 inches longer than me. It's actually a bit skinnier than I am but it still makes me feel a bit 'less than'. I am wondering how the large one (at least 12" and thick) is going to get in there at all. The 'little' dildo slides into her easily. There is a bit of resistance on the last inch or two as her cervix retreats and lifts.
"Turn it up"
I increase the dial by one degree and begin fucking her with the dildo. She thrusts against it, undulating on the bed as her hips rise her chest sinks back. Then, as her pelvis settles, her breasts rise up, her chest expanding as she gulps in air.
I move a bit, straddling her right leg, so that my right arm lines up better with her cunt and I can stroke deeper into her.
She begs for water, more voltage, and the bigger dildo all at once. I fill my mouth and direct it all at her, but she is moving so much that not even half makes it into her mouth.
Grabbing the larger dildo, I quickly grease it with KY and slide it inside, easily burying it to the hilt. I turn the dial up another degree and she begins thrashing at her arm restraints while thrusting her pelvis as far as the leg restraints will allow. I am starting to sweat and concentrate on fucking her to the rhythm that she has established.
"Bigger, give me something bigger" she cries.
Leaving the dildo buried inside her, I go to the dresser and find the biggest one there. Unlike the others, it has a large pronounced head but is about the same length and girth as the one inside her.
Turning back, I discover she has pushed the dildo out and her pelvis is pumping up and down, looking for something to envelop, both her inner and outer labia are fully distended, and with the dildo pushed out, her vaginal rugae have shrunk in, closing the cavity, and exposing her urethra which is flared open, its hole the size of a pencil eraser.
"Don't look at it, fill it and fuck it!"
I push the dildo inside her, and we resume our dance. There is one change. When I bring the head back to almost exiting her, she lifts even more and each time there is a moan that comes with it. I keep fucking her and have now increased the voltage by two more notches. Donna is covered in sweat and my arm is getting tired.
"Not enough, give me something bigger..."
Her hands are now fists and she is pounding them on the bed in frustration.
"There is nothing bigger," I say and slam the dildo into her as hard as I can.
"Then fist me, that plastic dick isn't going to do it, I need more, something bigger, fist me, but first turn the box down."
This is fully new turf to me. I have maybe gotten four fingers into the biggest vaginas I have explored to date. As distended and gaping as her hole is, the head on this dildo is half the size of my fist. And I am about to come myself from just watching her rapturous writhing on the bed. Pulling the dildo out, I collect my fingers and thumb into a point and begin pushing them into her.
"Yeah, that's it, it's like you have done this before!"
Still concentrating on how to pull this off, I just shake my head in wonder. As the bulge of my knuckles is reached, she grunts loudly and with her pelvis, pushes my hand into and beyond her vestibule, sliding deep into her. Retaining the pointed shape, I continue to push into her. Breathless, I watch my wrist and several inches of my forearm disappear inside her ravenous hole.
"Yes, that's more like it."
It's almost a sigh the way she says it.
