I originally started this expecting it to run over 5 or 6 pages but somehow it grew into 72,000+ words and I ended up splitting it into seven parts, mainly for ease of reading. For that reason, I've placed it in Novels and Novellas rather than Romance or Loving Wives, either of which might also have been a suitable genre for it.
Please note all 7 parts are written and will be released to Literotica as and when I finish editing them (hopefully that will be weekly).
I make no apology for the fact that my characters are flawed; they make poor decisions and bad choices but somehow they manage to enjoy a happy ending. That's just how I like them. So, if you prefer your story's a little more sugar coated then perhaps this isn't for you.
Constructive criticism is, as always, welcome but please remember it is just a story, the people don't exist and the situations never happened.
At least not as far as I know.
Please enjoy.

It's Just Sex - part 3
By the time the cab pulled up outside our apartment block I was a nervous wreck. All the way back from Selwyn and Deanna's house I had been thinking about what we had done and how it was going to affect our marriage.
Things had been bad before and my agreeing to go to my husband's boss's little wife-swapping soiree had been an attempt to resolve some of our problems.
'What if Julie had been better in bed than me?'
'How would he react if I told him how much I had enjoyed sex with his boss?'
'Was this nothing more than another nail in the coffin of our marriage?'
Now, however, all I could think of was all the things that might have gone wrong.
Deanna had told me it would improve my relationship with my husband and we would re-discover our love for each other when he reclaimed me.
It was something I was yet to be convinced of.
Paying the driver, I ignored his leering gaze and slipped out of the car, hurrying inside the front entrance to the block, hoping none of our neighbours were around to see me coming home in last night's dress.
It was only when I went to open our front door that I suddenly stopped.
'What would Jon think of me now?'
'What if Julie was still there?'
'What if I went in and actually caught them doing it?'
Another flurry of unbidden thoughts filled my head as I stood there with my key hovering just inches from the lock. Terrified at what I might find I was considering turning tail and running away when I heard a sound from along the corridor.
Even more scared of being seen in what I had clearly been wearing when I went out the previous night, I flung our door open and, with my heart thudding frantically, stepped into our apartment.
"Taylor?"
Almost immediately I heard my husband call out and, seconds later, he appeared in the kitchen doorway staring at me.
"Is... is Julie here?"
Biting my lower lip, my stomach churning anxiously I stammered out my question.
"What?" He looked confused for a moment, "No. She's gone. She left ages ago."
"Thank fuck for that." I muttered to myself, breathing a sigh of relief at his answer.
"Why did you want to know if she was here?"
I shook my head, "It doesn't matter. I wasn't sure I could face seeing her knowing you and her had...."
"Oh." Jon grinned, "I understand. How was your... umm night?"
"Err ok I guess."
Trying to be as diplomatic as possible I answered carefully, sensing the tension that began to immediately surface between us.
"Just ok?"
"How was yours? Was Julie.... Was she fun?" Avoiding giving my husband an answer I turned the same question back on him.
Jon hesitated for a moment, like me he was clearly thinking just what he should say before responding.
"She was.... err.... very enthusiastic, for an older woman that is."
"Really? How many times did you... ummm...."
I let my sentence tail away wondering if I was asking him for too much information.
"Twice last night and again this morning, before she left."
The enquiry didn't seem to bother my husband.
"And did she...."
Jon chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement, "Oh yes. Three times last night and twice this morning, she definitely went home more than satisfied."
My stomach tightened and a feeling of jealousy washed over me as he told me how good his night had been. I knew I had no right to be resentful given that I had been doing exactly the same with Selwyn, but I just couldn't help myself.
"So, what about...."
I was just starting to voice my concerns when I was interrupted by my husband repeating his question.
"Your night was just ok? Really?"
"What do you want me to say Jon?"
My deep sigh told him I wasn't entirely happy with the discussion we were having.
"How about we start with the truth."
For a long moment I looked into his eyes, wondering what his motives might be, but all I could see was a passion there that had been lacking in our marriage for some time.
"Ok, if you really must know Selwyn is a wonderful lover, certainly as good as you. He's forceful, vigorous and made me cum more times than I could count."
"How many times did you...."
I couldn't help but grin at him as he asked the same question that I had a little earlier.
"Three. Just like you and Julie, twice last night and then again, in the shower this morning."
"Was... was he... you know.... bigger than me?"
From the way he spoke and the tone in his voice, I could sense a growing insecurity.
"No. He wasn't bigger or better, just different." I whispered biting my bottom lip and finally meeting his gaze.
Something inside me snapped at that moment and, unable to stop myself, I took three paces towards him and slipped my arms about his neck.
"I love you Jon." I looked up into his eyes, "Now take me to bed and reclaim your wife."
"I love you to."
