A journey of self-discovery
It had been a long journey, three months and 200 miles. It seems so long since I drifted into Mark's chat room, "Wife likes others." At first I was curious about a man who would boast that his wife liked others. Internet chat rooms were always a great place to meet people with different perspectives, and Marks' turn-on was completely foreign to me. I chatted with Mark, trying to understand his fascination with other men having sex with his wife. Although to be honest, even then I had fantasies about being that "other" man.
The exploration of forbidden pleasure kept me coming back. Over the weeks our chats became more sexual, Mark would graphically describe how turned on he would get watching another man's penis slide into his wife's pussy. He told me how she would make him watch as she was being fucked and then had him masturbate in front of her and her lover. I played along, acting as the other man, describing how I would make love to his wife as he watched.
I am not an exhibitionist, I'm actually very modest, so it was surprising that fantasizing making love to a woman in front of her husband was turning me on. I think it was the idea of Mark's wife taking sexual control of him. I have always been the director in my bed but the idea of a woman controlling another man was exciting and offered so many new fantasies.
Eventually Mark introduced me to his wife Linda, and under the safe anonymity of the internet we explored our sexual desires. Linda was very sweet, someone you would expect to meet at the PTA and work with on school fundraisers. She was fun to chat with β our conversations seemed to sparkle with her charm and bubbly friendliness. Imagining her as the woman next door made sexual play even more exciting.
I enjoyed chatting with Mark and Linda; we were becoming friends, our online chats began with catching up with news events or the latest movie. Then Linda would make a comment about Mark, maybe that he came on her clean sheets the night before, and suddenly I could feel the sexual tension. There is something fascinating about transformations, the way a conversation could transition from chitchat to intimate with a simple phrase.
Mark and Linda were remarkably compatible; Mark thrived on the loving humiliation Linda dished out. And Linda was really turned on by the power over her husband. It was fun to watch them interact and I enjoyed being the "other guy" imagining making love to Linda while Mark's running commentary described his response.
Then one day they asked me to take a trip out to meet them. I can't say I hadn't imagined this many times, but actually doing it? I didn't know. Could I really screw Linda while Mark was in the room? What if I couldn't get an erection? Mark was a nice guy but being naked in a room with him made me hesitate. What if he touched me? Or expected me to touch him? I am not homophobic, hell I have gay friends, but being naked with a guy was another thing. But on the other hand, Linda was so sexy, and all our fantasies were about Mark just watching, and I never think straight with an erection. So it didn't take them long to convince me to drive out for a visit.
As the miles rolled by, the emotional conflict, the hesitations and justifications were falling behind. I now savored the anticipation, knowing this experience that would mark a milestone in my journey through life. Or maybe not, hell I was just getting horny and when blood pooled in my lower extremity, my oxygen-starved brain took curious flights of fancy.
Here was the turnoff - the directions Mark had given me were clear, only two more streets.
It was a blustery fall day; leaves blowing from piles neatly heaped along the curb for pickup. The yards well kept, much like my own neighborhood. I wondered at the dichotomy; an obviously wholesome all-American neighborhood, a Rockwell painting of family values. But my destination was not on this canvas, I knew that behind the surface image, one couple at least hungered for other experiences.
Driving here I was looking to satisfy needs not openly spoken, to connect with people, fellow human beings, on an emotional and physical level forbidden by society. We had happened to connect through the anonymity of the "chat room" where we were free to express and explore the emotional holes we felt. A cord was struck, trust was established, self-doubt dispelled, justifications hammered out and now here I was just minutes from their door.
Cypress Street, just a little ways now.
I wondered how many others behind these mowed lawns felt similar detachment from humanity, isolation in the midst of family and friends. Was I missing something? Was I not supposed to want more? What if I stopped randomly? There, that house, with the red door and gray shutters. If I knocked on the door would I find inside a person also feeling this need? Could we look deep into each other's eyes and see the flame of passion flickering, almost extinguished by life. What was the song? - Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone. Could we see that flame and blow fresh life into it? Excite the passion again, and if we could, was that wrong?
Ah, here, Cougar Ave. Just 2 more blocks.
Suddenly I was aware of my heart pounding. Fear? Excitement? I felt a stirring in my loins. Deep breathes to steady my nerves. Fight or flight response? (LOL! More like flight or fuck) still time to change my mind. But I knew I wouldn't, I wanted this too much.
Well, here it is. Pulling over to the curb, damn - should I have parked down the block? No time now - I am here. They have probably seen me pull up.
The lawn is freshly mowed, the path trimmed. I bet Linda had Mark out here this morning. Subtle message maybe layers of messages. I wonder what else Linda has had Mark trim neatly for my visit. Standing at the door I hesitate to collect myself, to take inventory, ticking off the emotions clamoring for expression, taking note of my physical state, again deep breaths to calm. Mark and Linda could be just on the other side of the door, a foot away, waiting for my knock, also anticipating the coming exploration.
The door opens, "Mark?"
"Yes, come on in Bob. How was your drive?"
"Good, good. Your directions were very clear."
The house looks very comfortable, I can see into the living room. Family pictures on the wall. Mark looks a little nervous, I know he is 46 but looks younger, keeps himself in shape, probably at Linda's urging. We rather awkwardly shake hands, unsure of our acceptance of the coming relationship; hell I might be fucking this man's wife today. Warm friendly eyes, nice smile, firm hand. As we size each other up Linda appears from behind Mark, I extend my hand, which she takes but then steps up for a hug and kisses me on the cheek. Still standing close, her hand holding mine, she looks up into my eyes and I see that flame dancing in her eyes as a warm smile plays on her lips. Pulling my hand to her chest, I feel warmth, her yielding flesh only thin layers of cotton away. Then deeper I feel the pounding of her heart, or is it my own heart racing? Still looking into each other's eyes, she openly smiles and her face is radiant. I know too that she is 45 and see that she has a beauty women grow into. Her face no longer the blank canvas of youth, I see eyes that have loved and laughed and cried. A mouth that has scolded, argued, laughed, kissed passionately and smiled infectiously.
"Ummm, Bob? Come on in β can I get you something to drink?" Mark asks.
Still holding my hand, Linda leads me into the living room where she sits next to me on the sofa.
"Mark, sweetie, won't you get us all a beer?"
When Mark leaves the room, Linda turns and kisses me on the lips, smiles and whispers, "Well, it is nice to finally meet you!" It is a strange sensation to "meet" someone I know so well. We have shared such private feelings and thoughts that I am sure I know Linda better than most of her friends. Her eyes tell me that all she had shared was honest and I immediately felt comfortable as with a close friend.
Because we had shared such intimate thoughts it seemed natural when her hand slid down to my crotch and she stroked my rapidly hardening cock. Just then Mark returned with our drinks.
"Well, looks like you two have gotten friendly." Mark jokes nervously.
Handing us our drinks, Mark sits across from us but immediately Linda tells him to stand up and take off his clothes. Our play was always about Linda controlling Mark, but having her so quickly put him in such a subordinate position electrifies the mood. He blushes but obeys. As he unbuttons his shirt I see his chest is smooth, maybe he waxes? Now definitely embarrassed, he doesn't look at me. I see his thickening cock beginning to rise from clean-shaven loins. Maybe I was wrong about who was doing the trimming inside the house!
