Author's Notes: First and foremost, Always Faithful is a work of fiction; no characters depict any known persons. To the best of the author's knowledge, there is no women's clothing manufacturer by the name of Business Lady. This is the third post, another five percent, of a much longer story. I intend to submit successive parts frequently. Part Three is lengthy, about 35 or 40 Literotica pages, so I will break the posts into more manageable size. While the length of the story is Novella sized, I have always thought of Always Faithful as a natural Loving Wives story.
THREE – BEGINNINGS OF AN AFFAIR – 3-1 FIRST DATES
After Laura modeled all the new dresses Dan bought they retired for the night. Bed wasn't a play pen tonight, they cuddled and slept. Bare skin molded male to female as though trying to forget and make up for two weeks estrangement. They made love in the morning with bright sun filtering through draped windows. A new day dawned for Dan, Laura and their marriage.
Spring weather was cooperating on a beautiful Sunday, winter was gone and the day promised warmth. Laura suggested breakfast on their patio. She donned her new pink nightgown set and with Dan in PJ's they ate a relaxed breakfast in the sun. "Is there any more of the champagne chilled, I think today is a champagne day in every way?"
Dan went for a bottle and as he poured said, "We are getting decadent, best be careful about drinking before noon. I guess having champagne at the first patio breakfast of the year can be excused.
"Dan, I am glad two weeks ago is behind us." Laura didn't think she needed detail in her remark, both understood. This might be a case of the less said the better. Still, there were details she and Dan needed to talk through. An awful lot was still in the air, even though Dan had sort of agreed that Laura could continue, even expand, her affair with her boss. Dan agreed with his wife's observation; he was as aware as she that further talking things through would be necessary. "I am glad we've cleared some things between us, Laura, but I don't think either of us has signed up for a smooth ride, no bumps."
"I really had a good time with you yesterday. I don't mean just the dresses, beautiful as they are; I loved the shopping part of yesterday. I loved sharing the day with you. We need to do more of that, share time with each other."
"Yes, we do need that, we need to talk, really talk, about things."
"There is no better time than today to start, let's get away from the house, go to the park by the river. We can walk and talk and enjoy the beautiful day."
"Sounds like a plan to me."
An hour and a half later, fancy dresses and tuxedos were far from their minds as the couple strolled along a trail by the river. "I know you said as much with actions, buying the red cummerbund was the final gesture, but let's talk openly. Are you telling me that my affair with Greg was okay, or are you telling me that it is okay for me to continue being with Greg at times?"
Dan waited to frame his response carefully. "I don't want to push you into being with Greg again, more than you have." He paused again. "When you continued, after that Monday, had sex with Greg in the office, you were telling both of us you wanted to be with him more than once."
"Maybe, Dan, maybe I was sending a signal, but if a signal to you, why did I keep it from you? I didn't rush right home and tell you, remember? For god sakes, I got under his desk, wearing only my bra and panties and sucked Greg. He sat in his chair and I gave him a blow job, not just once, three times."
"You said twice."
"Huh?"
"You told me you gave him two BJs after Monday."
"I guess I forgot one Baby, I am sorry about that. I sucked him three times; Ionly fucked him once in the office."
"Anywhere else, blow jobs or fucks?"
"No, just in the office, three and one, that's all."
"We are get . . . ."
"We got . . . ."
"distracted! – tangent!" Both laughed, they knew number and place were extraneous to their conversation. "Did you really do the ultimate boss and secretary thing?"
Laura had to blush, "Yep!"
"That's such a work place myth thing, everyone laughs about it, but I don't know of anyone who has really had that happen, no one at all. When my wife does her boss for his birthday, she goes all the way."
His last words earned Dan a hug and kiss from his wife. "Okay, I guess I do want to continue my affair, my affair with Greg."
"There are still things to talk about, talking about you and Greg."
"Yes, still a lot to talk about." Walking and talking, both agreed on the basic outline, Laura would be in charge of how her relationship with Greg developed. She made clear to Dan that she would not seek his approval often. Dan could object to any action, but he would not have automatic veto. "If I have to get your approval, Baby, it would kill the romance for me."
They walked and talked; Laura found some flat stones and asked Dan to skip them across the water. Laura made clear to Dan that she wanted to keep some parts of her affair private; she thought the privacy would be a way to keep a mild tension in their marriage. "I want some tension, Dan, I don't want to do a wife sharing thing; I want the tension of an affair. Not too much tension though, not more than we can safely handle."
"Oh!"
"I'm not going to tell you every time either." Dan heard his wife tell him that she wouldn't always tell him. He assumed that was for the tension. Laura explained her thinking a little different. "An affair should have mystery. Romance needs mystery. I don't intend telling Greg everything either. That is why I insist, I am not always going to tell you when I am with Greg, when we have a date."
Laura made the point that Dan would often know even if she didn't say anything. "If I wear that red dress you just bought in the evening you'll know I am not going grocery shopping, right?" Both laughed heartily at the thought. "Well, I won't be wearing it going out looking for another guy either." She was very reassuring about one aspect of their marriage; Laura wasn't looking for something Dan was holding back in their relationship.
"I want to keep you guessing every once in a while, wondering if I am out on a date with Greg, or just out. That's for both of us, I am a married lady and I am going to be dating another man. Those dates will mean more than sex, not just go fuck Greg; you know that don't you?"
"Fucking is your primary thing, whether you admit it or not, it is important to you. If you say fucking Greg isn't important, you're not being honest"
Dan's point stopped Laura in her tracks; she couldn't take her husband lightly on this. There was a bench nearby; she sat down and looked inside herself for a full five minutes. Dan just waited; he knew he got to her with his words. "Okay, damn you, okay. You are right, I want the romance and excitement, but I really like the way Greg fucked me. From the first time, I liked it. The first time was the rough time, and that was great. The second was the love making time and that was great too."
