The Friday Before, 6:30 PM
Mack pulled into the driveway still thinking about Billy T, Dolores, plus how crazy it is to do Bullshots. John is a remarkable guy but this was really more than Mack expected. Of course, the entire week had been like this. Mack’s head kept spinning around the idea of a BullShot with Mary. He thought about he and John filling Mary with seed and Mary emptying her creampie into a glass to mix it with Bailey’s. It was primal, intoxicating; but Mack was unsure about swallowing John’s seed. If Mary was up to it then he was, too.
Fuck that Worcestershire and bouillon BullShot. A Bailey’s BullShot with Mary is better to consider.
Mack called out in a sing-song voice as he walked into the house. “Honey, I’m home.”
“I’ll be there in a minute.”
Mack checked the mail on the counter and tossed away several. More junk.
Mary came into the kitchen wearing her Daisy Duke shorts, her bikini top, and an almost see-through beach cover that came to the middle of her thigh.
“Where are we biking today?”
“I want to talk to you before we go anywhere. There’s a few things I haven’t mentioned about this week and I want to before it gets out of hand.”
Mary’s heart stopped. Did John tell Mack about today? She felt twisted up inside. She shouldn’t have gone so far with him. She knew that but at the same time, wasn’t this supposed to be an adventure? She did not feel guilty but the lump in her throat made it difficult to breathe. She waited for Mack to continue.
“I’m embarrassed that I haven’t told you everything. It’s not the way we’ve lived with each other for twenty-three years and I don’t want to start doing that now.”
This wasn’t about her, thank God. It was about him. Her relief was short-lived as it quickly gave in to a suspicion. Mary’s eyes narrowed. What had he done that he felt guilty enough to confess? She was worried now.
Mack saw the look in her eyes and knew she had prepared herself for the worst, whatever it was.
He inhaled sharply and let it all out in one long breathy confession.
“Another woman was intimate with me. Nothing happened, I swear. I don’t mean sexually intimate but she touched my body the same way that you touched that French guy and I should have told you but I didn’t. I don’t have an excuse. I liked it and she did it and John was there the whole time. Mare, I swear. Nothing happened. And then today, I joined John in an erotic photo shoot and this woman practically swallowed my cock. I know I shouldn’t have but I let it happen. But again nothing more than that happened. There were pictures taken and I was never alone with that woman but it happened and I want you to know about it so we can deal with it.”
Mary looked Mack in the eye. “Did you cum with either one of them?” She locked her eyes on his to see the truth behind the words his lips would utter.
“No, Mare. I swear. Not like that. I would never.”
She saw the truth in his words. “Then don’t worry about it.”
The surprise was all over Mack’s face. He had that perplexed look he always got when he was sure that she would be upset and then she wasn’t.
“If you did not cum then you have not disrespected our marriage. I learned this week that it’s all about your seed. If you did not gift it to another woman, then you have not disrespected me or our marriage.”
Mack was very confused.
“Sit, Mack. Let’s talk this out. We are on a marriage adventure with another man for me. Soon we will be on a marriage adventure for you …assuming all goes well, of course, but I think you agree with me that it is going well so far.
“I had a sexy moment with Emil and you know about that but I had one today with John, too. In a very sensual act, John took my panty off and later he put it back on me. It was incredibly erotic but he never went beyond that. I was prepared to go further but it didn’t happen and I am glad it didn’t. In addition to that, John saw me in my bra and panty when I was trying on dresses. It was an emotional experience for me and I have to tell you that, except for you, I have never desired another man as much as I did at that moment. It reminded me of our first time together.
“You and I need to recognize and understand that when either of us is with John that something will test us or take us to a boundary that we never faced before. All of this is new to us. We need some structure to this and some rules we can live by. I did not feel like I was cheating when I was naked with other people, nor when I touched Emil's dick, and not when we shared our sexing by phone with John. I thought about why and it was because there was no other person's seed involved. When I watched some of those Chatroulette masturbation videos, I realized I would be pissed if I caught you cumming with or towards another woman even by video.What I am saying is that when we married, we pledged our troth to each other. Troth is fidelity and I am saying that you and I are not unfaithful to each other as long as you keep your seed exclusive to me and I keep myself exclusive to your seed. That's my seed, Mack. You pledged that to me when we got married and I pledged to receive only your seed.
I decided that my rule number one is that I will not be present if or when another man ejaculates. Unless you give permission, I will not observe nor participate in another man’s ejaculation. I think that rule number one for you is to never ejaculate in the presence of another woman without my permission. I mean never ever.
Can you agree to this? This means basically that if there is no seed then there is no deed to be concerned about.”
Mack looked quizzically at Mary.
“Yes, I can agree to this but I am not sure what you are telling me. Are you saying that we might be together with John or other people after tomorrow night? I just want to be sure what you are telling me.”
“Oh my God, Mack! I never thought it would sound like that. I am only trying to protect our marriage from unexpected… unplanned events. Ejaculation is a bridge too far. You cannot walk back from knowing that your partner did not think of your feelings when or where seed is involved. Whether it is you or me makes no difference. If you secretly gift your seed to another man or woman or if I secretly accept the gift of seed from someone then our relationship is no longer our relationship, period. Until that happens, the relationship is not broken. It may be hurt or be ‘black and blue’ but not broken. When broken, it will never be the same again. You see that don’t you?”
“Yes, oddly enough, I do. John and I had a similar conversation earlier today. He said it differently but I get this, Mare. I do. He said I should focus on your treasure and then on your pleasure. He said that if I did not safeguard your treasure, then I will have broken something and it will not be the same as it once was. So I get this."
Mary wanted to be certain that Mack was good with what she said.“So we are good on this, right? We are unfaithful to each other in this marriage adventure if seed is involved and we do not have each other's permission.”
“Yes, we are good on the ejaculation part. No secret seed, no secret deed. That breaks our relationship and our vows to each other. I can live with this rule...Was it a Freudian slip that you might want a longer arrangement with John?”
Mary did not hear an undertone in his voice.Thank goodness.
“I don’t know if I do or if I do not want the same relationship as we will have tomorrow night but I like him. I think you do, too. And however it turns out tomorrow, I would like to keep open the possibility that we become good friends.”
“Fair enough. I do like him. He likes us, too. He invited me to a Twins game next week and the first thing he asked was whether you would be okay with it.“
“I would be okay with it.”
“That’s what I said, too. He respects us as a couple, Mare. You know what else he did? He offered us a way out tomorrow if we needed one. He told me about a husband and wife who discovered they did not want a threesome and how instead they have this Hot Wife marriage adventure in which the husband pretends he is quote the other man end quote and John pretends he is her husband. So they have Hot Wife adventures and send pictures and texts to John. He is a pretend husband. They have adventurous sex together as they role play the Hot Wife experience.”
“All the adventure of Hot Wifing without another man's seed.That’s kind of cool actually. I can see where that might be fun. We should think about that as a future adventure. That isn’t what we want for tomorrow night though, right?”
“I agree. We are pretty clear that we want to experience both types of threesomes. And, like you said, we are really lucky we found John. He is good for us.”
Mack paused and Mary could see he was thinking. She waited for him to speak.
“So what are we going to do about tonight? After this conversation, I am not really into another adventure.”
“Me neither. I would like a bike ride with you but no challenges tonight. Would you be okay with that? Maybe we can just connect with the path to Minnehaha Falls and back again. Won’t take too long.”
“Ok, let me change clothes. I might have to find something to compete with those Daisy Duke’s. You are rocking that look by the way.”
“I’ll get the water and check the tires. Bring down a travel blanket from the hall closet. You never know when we might need one.“ She winked at Mack and he figured out the rest.
The bike ride was just what they needed. They spoke very little. Both were thinking how these challenges had changed them, opened them, and made them think differently about sex and marriage. When they stopped for a break, neither was in the mood for sex and seed. Honesty can do that sometimes. They just wanted to be with each other.
In the spirit of the marriage adventure, they stripped and took a few nude selfies to send to John. They let him know they did not do the challenge but were sending pics instead.
When they returned home, an email from John about PDA was waiting for them. This changed their mood again. They laughed and teased each other about how PDA with John could be, would be, a lot of fun.
The phone rang. It was Shelby with her weekly phone call to bring Mom up to date. Mack knew that it would be a long call. They always were when their daughter called. Mary would catch him up later. This was all good as far as Mack was concerned. He wanted some think time.
Mary had sort of pulled a trigger in John’s head when she Freudian-slipped Mack with Rule Number One. The fact that Mary even thought about a rule meant that at some level she thought there would be a continuing experience. Mack was not certain if Mary was thinking of a second time with John or if it was Mack’s upcoming adventure with two women. In any event, she was right. Some kind of rules were needed before they risked too much of their marriage because one of them made a mistake they could not walk back. The rule about seed was the first but there must be others needed to protect their relationship.
