"Going to work tonight?" I asked, reaching over and caressing Robin's bare breast, my fingers naturally closing onto her nipple.
"Uhm, yeah," she responded, stretching both arms above her head before rolling towards me. I raised my arm over her body, and she snuggled into me. I had just made love to my wife and she had, in effect, told me that she was going to fuck someone else that night -- for money.
We had discussed sex outright in the past. What positions "we" liked. What
really
turned us on, or turned us off -- and we both admitted that
talking
about
fucking
with others for a living was somewhat of a turn-off. Instead, we somehow naturally began referring to paid sex as 'our work,' or 'going to work,' or 'making a living.' Perhaps it was just a euphemism. Perhaps it was hiding from the truth. Or, perhaps, it was just like any other couple. We get up, go to work, come home, have dinner, pay the bills, go to bed, have sex with our spouse, sleep, wake up, and do it again tomorrow. We don't necessarily tell our spouse
all
about what we did as an electrician, plumber, mechanic, or insurance saleswoman -- just that we 'went to work.' We know that the electrician
may
have handled some dangerous wires, we know that the plumber
may
have had his hands in raw sewerage, we know that the investment banker
may
have handled a two hundred and fifty million dollar investment today, but for the most part we don't talk about those things. More often than not, when we got together, our opening words were "How was your day?"
Usually, I went to work during the day, although sometimes it was in the evenings, and occasionally I worked all night. Robin, more commonly, went to work in the evenings, and about half the time when she did that, she wouldn't get home until the following morning, but the other half it was almost always midnight or later. A couple of the big spenders would pay her to go away with them for a full weekend, and at least once for a full week, and those several-day gigs were quite lucrative. My most common income stream was in $500 minimum payments, usually only once a day. A couple of times I had an early or mid-day customer and then an evening or nighttime customer later, but no more than two a day at the most. When I was a teen and not getting sex at all, I could masturbate multiple times in a day, but now that I was providing a sexual service, I had to admit I really couldn't do it more than that in a day. When a woman is paying you to get her off with a hard cock, you'd better be able to provide a hard cock. Robin's income streams were always greater, seldom were they less than several multiples of the minimum. Two thousand for a night was common, and many times she went away with a high roller for a long weekend -- or sometimes more.
The interesting thing, and what many can't understand, was that neither of us ever had any qualms about our spouse 'cheating' or having an affair. We recognized that sex was different than love before we got married. And while we
knew
we were each having sex with other people, our
love
for each other was exclusive. There was no room for jealousy in our relationship.

"Brent's Tree, Yard and Maintenance..." I answered when the phone rang, and I saw an unknown number.
"Is this Brent?" an unknown male voice questioned in return.
Immediately I cringed. Although I'd continued playing regularly with Paul and Lindsey, if it hadn't been for Lindsey and her wanting Paul there whenever we played, I would have just hung up with a "Sorry, wrong number." Lindsey was sexy; admittedly I could get a hard-on thinking about or playing with her and had no trouble doing so. She could suck me, I could eat her, we would fuck each other, and I had no problem with any of that. Paul, on the other hand, now regularly sucked my cock with Lindsey watching, usually sharing a mouthful of cum with Lindsey if he sucked it out of me. Although thinking about doing so did nothing for me beforehand, with my eyes closed it was hard to tell whether it was Lindsey's mouth or Paul's that was providing a tongue slithering around my glans. And, on a couple of different occasions, I'd ended up with Paul's cock in my mouth. I'd closed my eyes, blocked it out of my mind, and then charged them double for the session. They'd never balked at paying and Lindsey always told me how hot that was for her seeing Paul's cock in my mouth.
"This is Brent," I warily answered the query. "How can I help you?"
"I'd like to hire you for a night."
Oh fuck.
My mind ran cold at the thought, but for some reason, I didn't just hang up. "Uhm, I take it I was referred by someone?" It wasn't as if my phone number was pasted on grocery store bulletin boards around town, so he must have gotten it from somewhere. Perhaps I was wrong, but I gave it a chance.
"Yeah. Melissa said I should tell you that she gave me your number."
"Ah," I responded, as if that explained everything. But then, Melissa of all people, should know that I normally had no desire to be servicing men, which meant perhaps it was something else. "Yeah, but um, she doesn't normally refer men to me."
"Oh, I don't want you for me. It's for my wife."
"You want to hire me, to uh... do some... yard maintenance for your wife?" I never used explicit language on the phone. Even though it was supposedly private, in today's day and age, we never know who might be listening in.
"Yeah, sort of." His answer wasn't telling me much.
"Sort of? What does that mean?"
It was a pregnant silence before he said, "It's sort of a long story..."
"OK. Want to try me? I'm not going anywhere." I had been in the kitchen heading to get a soda when the call had come in. Having ascertained that this wasn't going to be a thirty-second conversation, I moved on to the refrigerator and found a Coke.
"I uhm... that is, my wife and I are coming up on our seventh anniversary, next week. We were together for four years before we got married, so unofficially it's been 11 years since either of us has been with someone else."
I waited just momentarily when he stopped talking. "And she wants to have an affair," I prodded, having long before learned that it was a lot easier to keep the conversation from stagnating with a little verbal feedback.
"No, actually I do."
"You want to have an affair, so you're hiring me to... be with your wife?"
Again, he didn't answer immediately. I was about to say something else to prod him when he sighed. "God, I love my wife. She's a great lover, the yin to my yang. She's been everything to me for almost 11 years now... but..."
"But?" I repeated.
"We have always shared our fantasies and desires. And my fantasy has always been a threesome with two women. She's had some really hot girlfriends over the years. I've had some really hot co-workers over the years, too. She'd always ask who it was that I dreamed of a threesome with, but she's always said there was no way with any of those people."
