Chapter The Devil With A Deal:>>Ep27
The sun spilled into my sight, waking me from my slumber.
I blinked and slowly got my bearings. I was in someone's bed. Naked. Lying on top of the covers. My wife's bare, cum-covered body was pressed against mine.
Kate. Oh God. What had we done? I rubbed my face, trying to relive everything that had happened. Desperate to forget.
I rolled over, aching. Brian and Vanessa -- the couple that had caused our current situation -- were still passed out next to us on the king-sized bed. It was like we'd been sleeping next to lions. Fortunately, like great cats lazing in the summer sun, Vanessa and Brian were dead to the world.
I gave Kate a little shake on the shoulder.
"Wha huh?" My wife slowly opened her eyes as consciousness returned. "Oh fuck." I wasn't used to this cussy version of my wife.
"We fell asleep," I said.
"We did a lot more than that," Kate said. We spoke in hushed tones, careful not to disturb the other couple.
"Are we OK?" I asked.
Kate raised her eyebrow at me.
"Am I getting a lawyer?" I asked.
"You tell me," Kate said, suddenly anxious.
"I love you," I said, "I'm not going anywhere unless you make me." I kissed Kate on the lips and, to my relief, she pressed back.
"Well, you did say you liked watching me play," Kate said.
"Apparently you don't mind seeing me do stuff, either," I said.
"We're kind of broken, both of us. Aren't we?"
We kept lightly kissing each other. Chastely feeling each other out.
"Yeah," I said, "Very broken. But in other ways, maybe fixed?"
"That other woman, the one you want me to be? I don't know if it's such a good idea to let her out," Kate said.
"Your brain says that," I said, "But your body gives a different answer."
"That's what scares me," Kate said, "I don't feel like myself like this. I don't know what it is but it's like I'm possessed. I don't know if it's this couple. This house?"
"The coke you did?" I prompted.
"Yeah, that too," Kate said, dreamily. "Seriously, Andy. I don't know what to do. I'm scared I'm losing you. Terrified I'm losing myself."
I pulled my wife close and held her there. She was right, in a way. We'd both acted out of character. I didn't feel controlled by something other than myself, but I'd sure acted like I wasn't in charge of my own actions. Yet I also couldn't deny that part of me liked being that other person. Confident and crazed.
"There has to be some in-between," I said, "Where we acknowledge the person you are without suppressing the person you want to be."
"I know," Kate said, "I promised more. I want that, too. Just go easy on me, OK? I have a lot to live up to as a sex goddess."
"Actually, they said you were a fuck goddess."
"Same dif," Kate said, then shrugged. The way she casually reacted to her new nickname was almost as frightening as everything else I'd seen so far.
I looked around the bedroom, specifically at the people we were sharing the bed with. I knew, immediately, that Brian and Vanessa wouldn't make that pledge to hold back. If anything, they were almost certain to exacerbate any situation. And worse, I knew that neither Kate nor I were capable of stopping them.
The dread of that reality sank over me. It felt like we'd taken so many hits. And yet there were bigger bullets yet to fire. The only way to avoid them now was to stop being a target. Fast.
While Kate and I were clearly (inexplicably) still together, it was far too easy for everything to fall apart. We needed to leave that house while we could continue to say we were married.
I took Kate's hand and pulled her off the bed. I held my finger to my lips.
"There's nothing for us here," I said, "Just more trouble."
"We can't leave it behind like it didn't happen,' Kate said.
"I love you," I said, "I want you. We can figure the rest of it out."
"Couple's counseling," Kate said.
"Lots of it," I said, "Now grab your stuff and let's go."
"I feel like I should shower," Kate said to me.
"We'll do it at home," I said.
"It'll only take a second," Kate said, "It's right there and you won't have a gross, cummy wife in your car."

"At. Home."
Kate saw the look in my eyes and nodded. She squeezed my hand. We'd reached the end of the movie. Escaped the house of horrors bruised but not beaten. But I knew, if we didn't leave now, we'd encounter an entire gauntlet of different dangers. And, I had to admit, I wasn't sure we'd survive.
Kate reached down for her undersized dress from before and pulled it on. I rifled through Brian's drawers and found something that fit well enough -- sweat pants and a t-shirt. We dressed like it was a gameshow race and the clock was running out.
When I reached for the door, Kate glanced back at Brian and Vanessa on the bed.
"Shouldn't we, like, thank our hosts?" Kate asked.
"I think we thanked them more than enough last night," I said, pulling Kate out of the bedroom.

The hallway was murky, but it was closer to the darkness that comes before the dawn. The house was truly quiet for the first time since we'd been there. We retraced our every step on the way towards the exit.
Kate and I scampered away from the bedroom where we'd been shared by Brian and Vanessa. We raced past the bathroom where Kate's young sister, Tara, had sucked my cock as we both watched Kate get herself off while getting covered in another man's cum. We went by the second bedroom where we'd caught Jesse, Tara's husband, with that other woman. Finally, went by that first bedroom by the stairs where I'd watched Brian fuck Tara.
But then, Brian hadn't been the only one to have sex with my wife's sister the evening before. Fuck. I'd been so worked up about what happened with Kate, I'd forgotten my own transgressions with the cute redhead. I was sure Tara wouldn't say anything to her sister. But I knew that didn't clear the board, just cover it.
I pulled myself back to the moment. Kate and I had to escape. The first step was leaving this place. Everything else would find answers outside.
Speaking of which, I realized that my car keys were still in my pants pocket, abandoned somewhere on the floor of the living room. So were my phone and wallet. Now that it was brighter, I was sure I'd be able to find it all if I quickly picked through the piles. Yes, this was fine. Easily solved. Only a few steps more.
I could see the stairs in front of me. A distant dawn was starting to sneak through the downstairs windows. Everything was shifting hazy grayish. Kate's hand tightened on mine.
