"I guess you won't take no for an answer again?" Charlotte asked.
"I would, but you have a rule against it," Brad replied.
A sigh escaped her lips. She had made the rule to hold back a sense of complacency. Now that her husband had a fuck buddy it was too easy to outsource their sex life. So she had made a rule that she could not say no to him more than four times in a row. It was flattering that he still asked. There did not appear to be a shortage of women willing to have no strings attached sex with her husband. She wondered why his sex drive seemed to be stuck at the level of a twenty something while hers had declined. Brad suggested she appreciated quality over quantity, correctly implying that he was good in bed. There was a bit of truth to his statement, he was a good fuck.
She was a bit surprised that he did not abuse the rule. He could have asked her every morning and every night, invoking the rule every other day, but he did not. No doubt part of it was the other women; it gave him other options when she was too tired or busy. She also appreciated his discretion, he didn't abandon her the moment she refused him, instead would slip away hours or even a day later to take advantage of their arrangement. She wondered how many wives encouraged their husbands to sleep around. Charlotte had met all of his booty calls. She wasn't sure what would happen if she didn't approve of any of the women, the two women he was sleeping with now didn't seem like a threat to their marriage.
A grin spread across Brad's face as he looked at his wife. She appeared to be lost in thought. He almost wished he could retract his question, despite the elaborate preparations he had made. He didn't need to get laid tonight, and even if he did finding someone to answer a booty call would not be that difficult. Two names sprang to mind, but he didn't really want to fuck either of them tonight, he wanted to be with Charlotte.
"And a rule is a rule," she said, resigning herself to Brad's lustful desire. She joked that fucking
Brad was like going to the gym, sometimes it was difficult to get started, but she was always glad when she finished.
"You don't sound very enthusiastic."
"Sorry, it was a crazy day, I can't clear my head."
"Then how about we try something different?" he asked. Charlotte's attitude was an unexpected bonus. What he had planned was a bit of a departure from their normal routine.
"Isn't that why I let you off the leash, so you can do something different?" she countered.
"I think you will find this to be just what you need," he said with a smile.
The words 'what you need' echoed in her head. He was right; almost every time they had sex it ended her with satisfied and exhausted. She was already exhausted, at least mentally, and wondered if she had the energy for whatever he had in mind.
"Come with me," he said, taking her hand and leading her to the bedroom.
As she stepped through the doorway she noticed there was something on the bed. At first she could not believe what she was seeing, "I think you have me mixed up with someone else."
"I'm quite aware of who I am with," he said walking over to the bed and picking up the riding crop. He could see that her eyes were still on the bed, specifically on the big black dildo in the middle of it.
Charlotte could not stop staring at the toy on the bed. She scanned the rest of the bed. At each corner there was a leather cuff with a chain leading the bed frame. The pillows had been tossed on the floor and there was a towel on the bed concealing at least one more item.
"You really think I'm going to let you use that on me?"
"I'm counting on it," he replied.
"Why..." she started to ask, but was unable to complete the question.
"You will find out soon enough," he said, walking back to her with the riding crop still in his hand.
"I don't know if I can do this."
"You," he whispered as he kissed her neck, "can do anything you want, and I think you want this."
He considered adding 'and a whole lot more', but didn't.
Once again he was right. Just a few days earlier she had enjoyed her first bi-curious experience, and it was with one of his fuck buddies. It was limited to a few kisses and a little touching, but it was more than she ever imagined she would do with another woman. In less than a week she would experience her first threesome. Charlotte wondered if he realized she was doing it just to see what it was like, not because she craved sex with another man. She didn't understand his desire to be with other women, and was curious about what it would be like to be with another man demanded to be satisfied. She gazed at the restraints again, if she was going to let Brad and another man fuck her she might just need to be tied up first.
"So now what?" she asked.
"Now I take your clothes off and we have some fun," he said, stepping behind her. He slipped his hand through the wrist strap of the riding crop and let it dangle, then grabbed her shirt and gave it an upward tug. His cock was already hard and begging to be freed from his jeans.
"Hands up," he ordered as he peeled her shirt off. As she raised her arms upward he stripped off her top and threw it on the floor.
The riding crop brushed against her as he released the clasp on her bra and dropped it on the floor. She felt aroused, but still tired. It didn't matter, once she was tied to the bed she would be unable to move. His hands were on her waist, and she felt the riding crop bump against her thigh as he continued to remove her clothing. Soon her remaining garments were gathered around her ankles.
Seeing his wife naked always made him happy, even though she described herself as 'decidedly average'. It was true that most of her measurements were closer to the median value for her demographic, but they went together in a way that pleased his eye. Charlotte didn't have any artificial enhancements, her breasts were real, and she didn't have any body piercings or tattoos.
Her one concession to societies' standard of appearance was that she shaved. A few times she had taken it to an extreme and shaved off every hair below her eyebrows, but usually she left a neatly trimmed patch above her pussy. That was the case today, her pubic hair ended about a half inch above her vulva. He gripped the riding crop and tapped her ass with it.
"Do I get on the bed now?" She asked.
"No, not yet," he replied, "first I'm going to address your lack of enthusiasm."
Initially his remark annoyed her, but then curiosity took over. She wondered if he had learned something from his other lovers. When he gripped her wrist her heart began to beat faster. He led her over to a chest of drawers.
"Get down on your knees," he ordered. Brad wondered who, out of the two of them, was more out of their comfort zone. The idea of being dominant with his wife had come to him in a dream, and he didn't think she would agree to it, but so far she was playing along. In fact she seemed to be enjoying it, as evidenced by her swollen nipples.
When Brad turned towards the bed Charlotte wondered if he was going to pick up the big black dildo, and was disappointed when he did not. She was even more disappointed when he set down the riding crop. It was obvious he picked up something, but his body blocked her from seeing exactly what it was. When he turned around Brad put the item behind his back. She could see by the bulge in his pants the he was already aroused.
After he set down the riding crop Brad picked up several items. First on the list was a blindfold, second was a pair of wrist restraints, and last was a flogger. All the items were from his dream, and he hoped he could wield them as well in real life as he did in his fantasy. Oddly the dream had occurred when he was asleep with his mistress Sherry, and she had awakened him from it with a blowjob before it ended. He tucked the blindfold and flogger into the waistband of his jeans.
"Hands above your shoulders," he said.
Charlotte complied without even thinking about it. His hands emerged from behind his back holding two black leather wrist cuffs. They were about two inches wide and had shiny silver buckles on them. They were not connected to each other; instead each had a short chain that ended with a clip of some sort. As she watched him put it on her wrist she felt strangely detached from the situation, and aroused at the same time. Once he had secured the buckle Brad clipped the chain to a drawer handle, then he grabbed her other wrist and repeated his actions.
The idea of tying her to the dresser drawer was quite clever, he thought as he finished restraining his wife. The drawer was heavy enough to be an anchor, but held at least a chance of escape since the drawer could be removed. Reaching behind his back he pulled the flogger out next.
