When my secretary told me shortly after 10 A.M. that a lady who would only identify herself as "Sue" was on the line, I was surprised. It had been barely 12 hours since I had spent a delightful evening in a video booth with Sue & Bill. Sure enough, it was the same Sue.
"Is this Ed?" Her voice was as sweet as honey. She sounded so nice and innocent.
"Yes, dear."
"I just had to speak with you. Is anybody there?"
"No, dear."
"Oh, Good. Wellβ¦."
"Go ahead."
It all came in a rush. "I just had to tell you how great last night was. My goodness that was fun. Do you have any idea how good you made me feel? Geezeus, I came, my god did I cum. I've never cum like that in my life. Did you know that? It was so dammed dirty and so dammed delicious! And Bill! Bill just loved it. We talked about it all the way home and then he fucked me again and said he loved every second of watching me get fucked by you. My goodness, but I came. Like never before. Did you realize what was happening to me?"
I paused a moment. "Yes, Sue. I was there, remember."
She laughed a little laugh that sounded like the tinkling of chimes.
"Yes, I guess you were!"
For the next couple of minutes we talked about the sexual misadventures she, her husband and I had shared at the bookstore the night before.
"I felt like such a slut, fucking a stranger while Bill watched. But I loved it."
"I know."
"Ed"
"Yes."
"I want to be a slut again. I'm so aroused I'm wet right now."
I merely gave a low, naughty laugh.
"No, I mean it. I want to meet you today. Now. I want to cum again like I did last night."
It took me a moment to reply.
"You mean with Bill?"
"No, I want to meet you alone. I want us to be real lovers."
I was quiet so long Sue finally called my name again. Still, I did not answer. She spoke again.
"Ed, did I say something wrong?"
"Yes. Yes, you did."
"Don't you want me?"
"Oh yes, I do. I want you very much. But not alone."
There was puzzlement in her voice. "Why? You don't want your own little subbie mistress? You know I'll do anything you want."
"Yes, I do know that, Sue. And I do want you. But I've got a lot of experience with cheating wives. You don't want to become one."
"But I already am. After all, I fucked you last night."
"That was different. And it was not cheating."
That began a long discussion about cheating, swinging, domination and other sexual matters. The upshot was that, despite the fact that my prick was hard even as I declined to meet her secretly, we came to the only conclusion that could possibly be right for all three of the adults involved.
As long as her husband was present, or if not present approved of her having sex with me or any other man, it was not cheating.
"You and Bill can have a unique marriage," I said. "You can very well have lots of sex with other men. You can be the biggest slut in the world. But if you do it together, plan it together, and never lie or keep secrets, you just may have a chance of keeping your marriage going.
"If you cheat on him and lie, then you have almost no chance of having a marriage that will last for very long. Even with openness, the path of sexual adventure you and Bill want is still fraught with danger. For some, it is worth the risk."
I did not tell her it was a risk I had taken in my own marriage. And lost. I was now an older, single man.
But I knew enough not to end the conversation on such a serious note.
"But, you know, Sue," I added. "I'm not sure you are a real slut at all."
In careful details, I told the sweet little wife of the things she would be expected to do the next time Bill and she and I all got together.
When I finished I told her to call me back after Bill got home that night.
It was shortly after lunch when the other shoe dropped.
"There is a man named Bill on the line. He won't give his last name."
I took the call.
"Ed, this is Bill. You met me and my wife last night."
"Of course, nice to hear from you so soon."
"Well, I debated all morning about whether I should call. That was really something, last night."
"It was delightful."
"I'd say it was thrilling," Bill said. "I always knew I like to see Sue with another man, but I always pictured it in Bed, with me sitting in a chair watching. But that was even nastier and better than I could imagine."
