Red Leather Merrywidow Janice looked in the mirror and sighed. She had just stepped out of the shower and pulled on her plain-Jane white bra and panties. For just once, I’d like to feel a little crazy, she thought as she inspected herself. She wasn’t perfect, but she thought she was attractive enough. When she left her bathroom and glanced at her bed, she thought about how nice it would be to have Lee home again and helping her to rumple the sheets.



When Lee left on his month-long business trip, Janice had never spent more than a single night away from him. She found she didn’t know what to do with herself all evening alone; while at work, she could interact with her coworkers, but at home, the empty apartment just seemed…lonely. She was home alone when she hatched her plan; she would surprise Lee on his business trip, and give him a chance to mix business with pleasure!

The next day, she called Lee’s business partner, Jeff, and told him what she was going to do. She arranged for them to be at a swanky, upper-class burlesque club called “Spanky’s”, where she would speak to the manager about dancing just one dance. Once all the arrangements were made, Janice set about finding the perfect lingerie for her burlesque surprise.

She found a tight, red leather merrywidow that fit her like a glove; it didn’t show too much, but revealed enough. The afternoon of her trip, she got her hair done and visited a professional make-up artist, and when she looked at herself in the mirror, this time she liked what she saw. She just knew Lee would like it, too.

She arrived at the burlesque club an hour before Lee and Jeff were scheduled to arrive. The girls were wonderful; they gave her quick lessons in seductive walking and dancing, and gave her pointers on how to make the most of her body and her clothing. “I don’t want to strip,” she told them, a little embarrassed.

“It’s ok, honey, you don’t have to,” one of the girls answered, “this isn’t that kind of bar.” The rest of the women giggled, and then helped to fasted and buckle Janice into her sexy new outfit. She peeked out the curtain to find Lee and Jeff making their way to the stage; Lee looked a little nervous and embarrassed. They sat down in front of the stage, and Jeff watched the girl dancing hungrily. Lee seemed to glance at her and then look away; even in the dim room, she could tell his cheeks were a bright crimson.

“Ok, Janice, you’re up,” the manager called as her song, their song began to play over the club’s sound system. Janice strutted out onto the stage just as Lee raised his head, recognizing the song.

Their eyes met. Janice saw the surprise in Lee’s eyes, and watched as a grin began to spill across his face. She pranced closer, then further away from him, teasing. She watched his eyes plead when she began to dance, just for him. When the song was over, she stepped off the stage and sat down in Lee’s lap.

“Hi, honey,” she chirped.
“He…hello…isn’t this a surprise!”
Lee’s hands were wandering, caressing her body inside its leather casing.
“I can’t believe you’d do something like this!” He said.
“Are you mad?” Janice was worried she had disappointed Lee.
“Are you kidding,” Lee said, stroking first Janice’s cheek, then her hair, “that was wonderful! I can’t believe you’d do something…wear something like this for me!”

Janice leaned in and kissed him. She thought about the start of it all, missing Lee and her plain-Jane underwear. The red leather merrywidow had brought out her wild side, and she liked it! She knew Lee was going to like it, too!
