Along with "I love you", my wife Amanda told me that greatest thing that she could ever say to me: "
We're having another baby!
"
Amanda and I had been married for 10 years, and every moment I spent with her was better than the last. We weren't exempt from the trials and tribulations that all relationships invariably suffer, but our love was stronger than diamond. Marriage still felt new and exciting as if that wonderful honeymoon phase had lasted a decade, and counting!
I thought I could love no one more than I loved my wife, but that proved untrue when our son James was born. It was hard to believe that he was almost 6 years old! "Little Jimmy" was the apple of our eye. And as any husband who was also a father could attest, I loved my wife and son equally as fierce, and there wasn't anything that I wouldn't do for them.
It was admittedly counterintuitive, but Amanda and I shared a love so great that we allowed each other to seek pleasures outside of marriage. Few would understand but our open relationship worked because it was based on trust. For years we dated and slept with other people, though not as frequently after James was born, and our love was better because of it.
I had bedded my fair share of women, and Amanda had taken on so many lovers, both male and female, that we stopped counting long ago! More often than not, they were people whom we already knew, friends and acquaintances who shared the same love for my hot wife. Sometimes I would even set her up on blind dates while other times she would meet someone herself and ask for my permission to play.
I never denied Amanda. But something strange and unexpected recently occurred to me. Like a deep rumbling that had been insidiously fomenting for a while, it took me a while to realize. But when I did, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
The
idea
of my wife with other lovers had become more appealing than actually
allowing
her to be with them.
Perhaps life's experiences were slowly changing the way I viewed the world.
I had recently turned 40 and realized that I needed to stop acting like a frat boy. Getting laid as often as possible, and watching Amanda fuck until her heart was content or seeing her gangbanged until she was senseless were no longer my priorities. All that concerned me now was the well-being of the 2 people whom I loved most in life, as well as that of my unborn child.
That meant being the possible husband and father that I could be.
Was I
finally
growing up and thinking with the correct head? I chuckled inwardly at the notion. Old habits die hard and we can't deny who we truly are.
Can we?
**********************************
Amanda and I rested comfortably on the couch. My eyes were glued to the waning moments of the football game, as our hometown team was about to officially trounce our most hated rival. My wife stretched languidly, her head resting on pillows at the opposite end of the couch, as she read some cheesy romance novel on her tablet. Her feet lay across my lap and she would periodically wiggle her toes. Regardless of whether that was a spontaneous movement or a nonverbal cue, I would break enough of my attention to massage Amanda's feet and calves each time.
I may have been focused on the TV, but my attention would
always
be on my wife.
Amanda was approaching 32 years of age yet still flaunted the body of a young college coed in her physical prime. She was still getting routinely carded whenever we went out which was something I knew my wife was secretly very proud of. Amanda didn't just owe her ethereal physical beauty solely to having won the equivalent of a genetic lottery. Yoga, regular workouts at the gym, and running 12-15 miles every week bestowed an athletic physique onto her, including a V-shaped upper torso, toned arms and legs, and abs that were still impressively chiseled despite being about a month into her current pregnancy.
A healthy lifestyle simply added to Amanda's naturally youthful appearance.
But it was abundantly clear to anyone who gawked at my wife that she was not a girl, but a
woman
. Her muscular form did not detract from her feminine curves whatsoever; if anything, it enhanced them. Amanda's 34c breasts were as mouthwatering as her ass, and gravity clearly wasn't an issue because neither exhibited the slightest hint of sag.
Brown eyes that were slightly almond-shaped eyes gave Amanda somewhat of an exotic flare, and always seemed to be twinkling with some sort of naughtiness or inside joke that only she was aware of. And while my dark hair had noticeably started to gray, her long silky strands, which were currently strewn down the front of her body, shimmered a shiny jet-black as it flowed below her hips. Even from where I sat, I could detect the flowery scent of my wife's hair.
Amanda's adorable freckles were perhaps her sexiest physical trait of all, but
ALL
of that paled in comparison to her intelligence, generosity, and witty sense of humor.
My wife wasn't just the embodiment of physical perfection; I truly believed that she was the embodiment of perfection itself.
Amanda was patient enough to wait until the game was over before she set her tablet down. "Am I worthy of your attention now that the game is over?"
I responded by tickling her feet.
"Stop that!"
We laughed as she kicked my hand away, and I slithered next to her. "Any hot sex scenes in your smut romance novel?" I ask conversationally. "Maybe we can act them out before I pick up Little Jimmy."
"There
are
a few good ones," Amanda responded in a way that was absolutely endearing in its seriousness. "But... I don't know, babe. I'm not sure if I can get into those positions anymore without tweaking my back or dislocating a hip." She sighed. "I'm getting old."
I snorted in amusement. "If you're old, then what does that make me? Ancient?"
"You know what I mean. I'm not young anymore."
"Mandy, it's the hormones talking because you're definitely not old."
"I feel old, and fat and bloated."
I wanted to laugh because 99.99% of all women would kill for her "fat and bloated" body. I was about express that when I decided to take a different approach. "Remember what I told you when the guys and I gang-fucked you while you were pregnant with James [refers to Chapter 13]?"
Though Amanda was facing away from me, I could sense her smile. "That I was hotter than ever at 8 months pregnant."
"I still want your sexy body as much now as I did back then... as much as I did when I first saw you. Men and women will forever want to bang the hell out of you. That's a fact of life; you better get used to it, Mandy."
"You're so stupid," she retorted. But I could tell she was already feeling better by the way she snuggled against me. We lay together in silence, and the world was a perfect place for the entire time. But when my wife spoke my name, I knew something else was on her mind.
"Sy?"
"Yes, Mandy?"
"There's someone I want to talk to you about."
My eyes flew open. "Oh?"
"He's my new yoga instructor."
"New yoga instructor. Ok," I responded slowly. The familiar adrenaline rush that I experienced whenever my wife told me about a potential new lover was starting to surge. But this time there was something else that accompanied it.
Fear? Reluctance? Dread?
Amanda continued carefully, "I think there's definite potential there."
"Of course there is, Mandy. What man alive wouldn't want to sleep with you?" I paused as butterflies fluttered in my stomach like never before. "Do you want me to talk to him first?"
"No, I'll do it." The response came almost too quickly as if it had already been done.
For whatever reason, though we had many discussions like this before, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. But I forced myself to remain calm. After all, my wife's happiness was all I cared about, even if it entailed her sleeping with other people. "Same as before, though. I want to meet him first."
Our rule was always the same: Mandy and I required each other's permission before we could sleep with someone else.
Amanda suddenly rolled so that we were face to face, and she pressed her forehead to mine, our personal sign of affection since we had been dating. "Of course. Same as always: you meet him first, and if we get your approval---"
"--- you get to play with your new boyfriend---"
"--- and you get to watch." She paused before adding, "If you want."
"Of course I want to watch! When don't I want to watch?" I forced a laughed but was anxious. Had I been more observant, I would've noticed that my wife was feeling the same way, too. "I'm going to pick up Little Jimmy now," I announced abruptly, needing to get away from the conversation. "You can tell me about this guy when we get back."
I started to rise.
