Janice surprised Barry when he granted her one more chance
Newsletter & prompt #6: Janice was a vision in fishnet and leather, the sexiest outfit from Barbarella’s Boudoir…
“Please Barry, come back, I love you.”
The tears ran down her face, but her make-up didn’t track because she’d worn waterproof. Janice already had a bad feeling when Barry asked to meet after work, in the park. Not at a bar, or a restaurant, but somewhere quiet where they could talk, and she couldn’t drink.
Janice wanted a drink right now! She didn’t have a problem with alcohol, she just knew a few sips of wine would make her feel stronger. What Barry said had rocked her to the core. She was feeling a bit shaky if she was honest.
He’d said she wasn’t emotionally mature, which was ridiculous. She wished Mum was here now, so she could ask her advice, maybe she’d have a good comeback that wouldn’t make Janice look desperate.
Barry had accused her of being unadventurous in bed, which had stung.
“Your hair doesn’t even move when we’re having sex!” he’d burst out.
How relevant was that? But she could be more daring. She had an allergy to latex, so that was one kinky route Janice couldn’t go down, but she’d be willing to try floggers and spanking, that sort of malarkey.
“I think we should see other people,” Barry had pronounced.
Janice was no fool, she could read between the lines. She knew that meant he was already looking outside their relationship, and had his eye on someone else. Which called for drastic action.
“Give me one more chance,” she’d implored him.
Barry had reluctantly agreed, he was coming to hers tomorrow night.
Janice took a long lunch to get to “Barbarella’s Boudoir” the next day, but she was confident she had everything she needed by the time Barry rang the doorbell. Peering at him through her spyhole, she saw he was dressed in his usual t-shirt and jeans, with a bored expression.
She swung open the door.
“Come in, you bad boy,” she purred.
Barry looked her up and down and nearly choked.
Janice was a vision in fishnet, overlaid with a harness of leather and buckles which enhanced her breasts and disappeared between her thighs. Her long hair was fastened in a high bunch which swung like a pony’s tail, and black boots clung to her shapely calves.
“Has the cat got your tongue?” she asked him sweetly. “Then perhaps I won’t be needing this.”
Janice swung a ball gag in front of Barry’s slightly panicked face, before she beckoned him inside.
