Dan and Trish lay like spoons in their king-sized bed. The fan above them provided little relief from the summer heat, but their sweat was caused mainly by the sexual gymnastics they had just completed moments before. The bedcovers were still bunched at the foot of the bed and their naked forms glistened in the dim lamplight.
Trish felt exhausted. She had experienced an orgasm some twenty minutes into their copulation. Still, it had taken Dan almost another thirty minutes before he had finally climaxed with a weak stream of semen on her face and chest. Trish had used all her known tricks to get her husband to cum, but nothing worked until she started whispering filthy directions in his ear. He eventually pulled out of her and scooted up so that he could slide his cock between her fat mounds and into her mouth. More and more, traditional positions, positions that Trish favored, had failed to produce a climax. Now all he wanted to do was cum in her mouth.
Trish was starting to think he must be having an affair. Sex with her husband had always been good until lately. Now, it seemed routine unless he added some twist to things. Lately, it was tit fucking, but now even that didn't always work.
"Dan, am I doing something wrong when we make love? You seem so distracted and far away when we have sex. But honestly, Honey, these marathon sessions are wearing me out. You can tell me. What do I need to do to keep you happy?"
Dan said nothing for a minute or so. He was unsure how to broach the subject and as much as he loved his wife, he worried that what was on his mind might make things worse between them. Trish was the love of his life. They had been married for six years and had dated in high school and college. As far as he knew, she had never had sex with anyone but him even though she was desired by nearly everyone who laid eyes on her, men and women alike as far as he could tell. She was beautiful, with raven tresses, a body to die for, and an intellect equal to everyone she met. But on top of that, she was modest and kind.
Finally, he mustered his courage and spoke.
"We've always been honest with each other, haven't we?"
Oh, oh. This isn't starting well, she thought.
"Of course. You can tell me anything. You know that. Am I doing something wrong?"
"No, you are wonderful. Here's the thing. Have you ever thought about having sex with someone else? Someone other than me?"
"Not really! Okay, maybe I've fantasized on occasion. You know–about movie stars and such. What would it be like to sleep with so and so? But just teenager stuff. Nothing to worry about. Is that it? Do you think I'm having an affair?"
"No! Of course not. I'll just say it. I'm the one who has fantasies...about you. I fantasize about you having sex with another guy. But it doesn't make me angry. It excites me. I get turned on thinking about it. Sometimes I can't cum unless I imagine I'm watching you have sex with someone else. That sounds weird, but just talking about it now gets me hard."
Trish stared at the ceiling, her brain spinning. This was not what she was expecting.
"Are you saying you'd like to watch me having sex with someone else? Jesus, Dan. That's out of the blue, isn't it?"
"Not really. I've thought about this for a long time. I've even thought about how it would happen. It would add so much to our sex life. Of course, you would have to be willing. I doubt you'd have any trouble getting someone to go along."
"Oh, sure. I just walk up to some guy and say, 'Hey, would you like to fuck me while my husband watches?' What do we do? Join a swingers' club? I hear they're all the rage."
"Of course not. I know this sounds kinky or something. It wouldn't be like swinging. I'm not asking you to have sex with a bunch of guys. We would carefully select someone and it would be more like role playing. You know...flirting and stuff and then getting a motel room where I'd be waiting. I haven't thought it completely through, but that's how I imagined it. Anyway, I'm sorry I mentioned it but you said I could tell you anything. Well, that's it. I love you, Trish. But I've read about this sort of thing. It's not all that uncommon. It just happens to get me excited thinking about watching you with another guy. Sorry I brought it up. Let's get some sleep."
But neither Dan nor Trish could sleep for the longest time.
Trish's brain was a jumble of thoughts. She had only experienced sex with someone other than Dan on two occasions, one of them after she was married and with a co-worker who was also married. Dan knew nothing about it. It was a stupid thing to do, and she regretted being unfaithful. But despite the guilt, she had loved the thrill of clandestine sex, and he had been a fantastic lover. He no longer worked at the same company, but she saw him at conferences and meetings occasionally, and she had heard he was now divorced. Her brain scoffed at the idea, but her body tingled at the thought of making love with him while her husband watched.
The next morning when she awoke, Dan was already out of bed and in the kitchen. They did their routines as usual with little conversation before heading off to their respective jobs. But just before Dan grabbed his keys, Trish kissed him a bit longer than a typical goodbye kiss.
"I've thought about what you said last night, Dan, and...."
Here it goes–the nail in the coffin.
"And, it sounds exciting if you meant what you said. I even had a dream about it. But you have to go. We can talk about it later tonight. Bye, Dear. Have a good day."
"Sure, we'll talk about it later. Bye."
Dan desperately wanted to talk about it NOW, but he was running late. Regardless, he felt an immediate stirring in his groin as he kissed Trish back and headed for work.
The day crawled by for both of them as they individually fantasized about erotic scenarios. Trish imagined going to a bar and flirting with a stranger while her husband watched from a vantage point.
She knew how to excite a man. She would wear tight-fitting clothes and laugh at every joke he made, offering her own form of risque humor in the process. Light touching would ensue: an arm squeeze, a pat on the thigh, sliding her chair closer, and then finally whispering something like, "Would you like to have a drink in my hotel room? It's more comfortable than this noisy bar."
Dan would be waiting for them when they got there. After awkward introductions, Trish would explain that Dan only wants to watch. "If you don't mind an audience, Honey, he's innocuous. He'll sit there quietly and get off while we have some fun."
The guy would probably be ready to run, but by then Trish would have her blouse unbuttoned and her sheer bra with those fantastic breasts begging to be fondled as Dan removed himself to a corner of the room. Or possibly, she could hint at what was to happen as they made their way to the room. Trish would play that part by ear.
Dan had his version of the buildup, but in the end, it wasn't too dissimilar to his wife's. After dinner that night, they discussed it. Trish couldn't believe what she was agreeing to do. She kept telling herself that she was trying to save her marriage and that it would all be fine, but the prospects as outlined were also exciting beyond belief.
"I'm only considering any of this to save our marriage, Dan. I can't believe you even came up with an idea like this. But I love you, and I'm willing to try anything to make you happy. We have too much invested in each other to do otherwise."
So they discussed how it might happen. Trish let Dan explain what he had in mind, occasionally interjecting her ideas as if they had just popped into her head. She deliberately avoided showing any excitement. She knew that in the scorecard of their marriage, she would be amassing countless points for agreeing to this as long as she maintained that she was only doing it for him.
Fortunately, they lived in a large city where they could execute their ideas without worrying about running into people they knew. There were conventions occurring year round thanks to the warm weather the area boasted of. An IBEW convention was coming to the city the next week. A group of electrical contractors and union types might be the perfect place to start.
**********
During the wait, they finalized the details. Dan made a hotel reservation where the conference would be held, getting a discount rate by lying that he would be attending from out of town.
On the Friday night of the convention, they checked out the room and stocked it with their favorite drinks, just in case. Trish was dressed as a business professional in a black skirt that showcased her beautiful legs and a tight blouse cut low enough to show just a trace of cleavage. She wore a black blazer over her blouse. She looked just slutty enough to make a man wonder.
They had a couple of drinks in the room as a lubricant before heading to the bar. Despite palpable excitement, they both gave off the calm exterior of a couple preparing for boring convention speeches. They peeked into the large conference center where tables for eight filled the room. Participants were lined up at the open bars and a number were already exiting the room.
"The natives are getting restless. I'm guessing that we'll find the hotel bar filing up with guys who want to escape this. Let's check it out. You go in first and I'll follow later to see what you can find." Dan pointed the way.
When Trish entered the bar, it was filling up, mostly in the booths and tables. Seated at the relatively small bar were several men alone with empty seats between them, something that Americans typically do. Trish eyed a good-looking guy probably in his forties who was staring at one of several TVs above the bar. He was wearing a convention ID card pinned to his lapel reading "Hi, I'm Vince."
"Excuse me. Is this seat taken?"
"No, by all means. Help yourself."
Trish seated herself as her seatmate automatically scooted his stool away to give her room.
"Oh, you're fine, um, Vince. I have plenty of room. I had to get away from the conference. Too many boring speeches."
"Are you with a contractor here?"
"My husband. He's a nerd. He loves this stuff. He'll be making deals into the late hours. I had to get away. How about you?"
"I'm here representing our company, and as you can see, I'm Vince. Like you, I had to get away. I'm not a real fan of these things but I do get to visit new cities this way."
Trish ordered a white wine and Vince insisted on paying for it. He was drinking an expensive bourbon on ice. His eyes discreetly took in Trish whenever he had a chance without being too obvious. He helped her remove her blazer and put it on the back of her stool. Trish fanned herself with a free hand and unbuttoned the top button of her blouse. Her breasts strained for release and a couple of inches of cleavage made an appearance with her gesture. Vince noticed.
