Jack and I dated for six years before we got married. At the start of this story, we'd been married just at three months. Despite our long time together, our familiarity with each other, not to mention this all happening in our horniest teenage years, I learned more about sex that first night with Javon than I had my whole life up to that point.
My choir girl upbringing and the strict society training I got took a lot of getting over. But the culture was shifting right under our feet. I admit that a lot of those three months after we got married, I spent sitting in our apartment crying. He'd joined the army and we'd moved 900 miles from home. I missed my mom and dad and my regular life back home. I missed my school friends since I'd dropped out to get married, and everything was so totally different now.
I have to admit, I wasn't always very nice to Jack. I tried to be a good little housewifey and have dinner ready and the house picked up, but that was both boring and hard. And Jack would come home at the end of the day tired, dirty, and wanting sex. I felt taken advantage of and caged up from not being able to get out all day since he had to take the car to work, and at the end of the day, I wanted to go someplace and do something. But we were too poor to do much. Even just driving around cost gas money. So I was an unhappy little girl and usually took it out on him.
It was obvious that I should drive him to work and then pick him up at the end of the day so I could have the car, but that meant twice as much gas. Not only that but he usually had to be in by 7:00, and I hated having to get up early enough to take him to work. I didn't think I'd ever get used to that, but having the car that day made it worth while.
Getting out and around post was really liberating for me, and my attitude toward life in general, not to mention toward Jack, got a lot better. I would surprise him with meatloaf some evenings, a real favorite of his though I knew it wasn't as good as his mother's, and he started to pay me more attention and make me feel more appreciated and wanted.
But being out and about more meant that I was seeing a lot more people, and a lot more people were seeing me. I felt a little guilty about it, but I was starting to like being 'checked out,' having guys talk to me with obvious interest. It was kind of funny how little difference it made that I wore those flashy wedding rings. Maybe it shouldn't have, but being noticed made me feel appreciated too...and wanted!
One day, Jack brought home a couple of magazines. One was on how to give a massage. He also brought home a bottle of safflower oil and some sented candles. The other magazine was a Penthouse. Needless to say I encouraged him in developing his new massage skills volunteering to be his practice dummy. My attitude toward him warmed up quite a bit when I could look forward to laying naked on a pile of towels and feeling the delicous relaxation that even a massage rookie can give. And soon he started to get pretty good.
Despite my struggles, largely due to what I now know was my immaturity and selfishness, I knew Jack loved me. He had stayed with me and essentially waited for me to grow up before we married, and everything he did was honestly about caring for me in the end. So as we were feeling closer, our sex life started to improve. We had hot passionte make out sessions and he never failed to 'get me going,' as I like to refer to it, but intercourse just didn't do it.
So, our evenings would often find me naked on my tummy getting massaged to heaven while I read him the stories and letters from Penthouse. We got a lot of ideas and did some experimenting from that information source, but we were, at least I was, totally shocked at what seemed to be totally normal in the sex department, stuff I'd never even heard of. The thought of flirting, flashing and immodest dress in general, not to mention oral sex, anal sex, partner swapping, multiple partners, even interracial partners, were mostly new ideas for me. As intimidating as it all was, as much of a challenge to my moral core, I found it all intensely exciting and erotic.
Picking hubby up after, meant waiting for him outside his work, which is where I met Javon. From the first time Javon and I saw each other, we noticed one another. I mean there were other people there; mostly black guys, but a couple of other girls too sometimes. The guys tended to be a little crude sometimes, but I wasn't going to get run off like some of the other girls. I got to enjoying the time waiting for my husband, chatting with the guys and even giving them back some of their barbs. Javon was always there and seemed particularly interested in me. He was good looking and very smooth, always knowing just how to compliment or tease.
My husband keeps saying I told him that I thought Javon was cute. I don't remember saying that, but he got the idea someplace. I think I would have been too worried about what he'd think to say something like that out loud, but it was the truth, I do think he's cute. And though he's not tall—he's about the same height as me in heels—he looks strong, muscular, and has this 'Eddie-Murphy-like' smile that makes for a pretty attractive guy. I liked him and felt like he liked me.
But then one day, Carolyn, tells me that Javon really, really likes me and was really going to come after me. She's our neighbor and my sometimes friend, who has been involved with blacks around post. She actually has this black boyfriend, Richard, who knows Javon, so I don't think she was just teasing me. Jack had mentioned rumors about him liking me so this wasn't totally coming from left field. As conflicted as I was about it, it was sure seeming to be true, not just a rumor.
When it first dawned on me that he might really be interested in seeing me, I admit that my heart raced and my pussy got wet. But the news also scared me. All I could think of was that my husband would think I was cheating on him, or doing something to cause it. I told him about it immediately, terrified of what he'd think. He heard me seriously sharing my fears and very much to my surprise, he didn't react as I'd expect—like getting mad or something. Actually, he laughed and made light of it. I felt hurt, like he was taking me for granted or didn't care enough to protect me, although he'd assured me a thousand times he loved me and wouldn't let anything happen to me.
Letting my confidence in Jack's love for me grow, and trusting in his desire to protect me, I began to relax a little with the idea of Javon being 'after me.' Thinking back, I doubt if I concealed my interest in the idea of being pursued. I know at times I was like a silly schoolgirl, laughing at what he said, agreeing with him, and all in all showing flattered receptivity to him. At the same time, I was self-conscious about people seeing me with him and talking about us. In some ways, it was a relief when Jack told me he'd invited him over to our place where we could talk someplace besides out in front of the whole world.
I'm not totally naive. I had a pretty good idea what Javon was coming over for and also knew that my husband was going to give me the freedom to follow my desires, whatever they were. Coming to understand that, I started to get really excited about Javon coming over. Jack wanted me to wear something slinky, something sexy, but I didn't have the courage for that. I didn't want to look like I was doing anything more that just being friendly and nice, so I could preserve my dignity if nothing happened, which in the back of my mind was a pretty strong possibility.

Before that Friday night, I'd never seen Javon except at the end of the day when he was always wearing a dirty work uniform. But tonight, he had on this form fitting black mesh shirt, with a gold chain and black slacks. He was beautiful, his smile so big and broad, I was wowed. I'd been a little distracted getting dinner together, but the very sight of him put that totally out of my mind. When I hugged him hello, his velvety black skin, so smooth against my cheek, and his intoxicating cologne made my head swim.
I know I felt nervous, but I was also giddy with excitement as I brought him a beer. Trying to play it cool, I hesitated trying to decide whether to sit next to him. Thankfully, my husband encouraged me to do it, so I just plopped down next to him on the sofa. That was probably the turning point in my mind for the whole evening. Sitting next to him, hip to hip, I knew something physical was going to be happening, whether I liked it or not.
I know I talk too much. And if I'm really nervous, I talk to fast and more often than not just start saying any and everything that comes to mind. My husband is always laughing at me for that, but it's just how I am. Javon was sitting back sipping his beer as I started telling him all this stuff he probably didn't want to know or even care about. He just smiled politely and listened, letting me calm myself by talking. Only then did he start asking me about myself with a charming blend of compliments and questions. The tone of his voice, the body language he conveyed made me feel so very much at ease.
Javon slipped his arm around my shoulder so casually it seemed to be totally natural and right. Looking back on it, I should proably have played a little more hard to get, but he was really charming me, making me feel pretty and wanted. When he kissed me, everything else disappeared. Nothing mattered to me but that delicious tongue and how powerfully turned on it made me. He told me he wanted to make me feel beautiful, and boy did he.
I was so high after that kiss, that having to eat dinner was an unwelcome interruption. Javon made it easy though making casual conversation and teasing me while we ate. I was getting even more comfortable around him every minute.
