This story is an account of a rather typical couple, Bob and Sue Carter, living in a small town in the Bible belt; the sort of place where lives are as dull as they are open to scrutiny. It seems that everyone desires their privacy, but relishes the scandalous gossip of other people's business.
Bob and Sue were childhood sweethearts and married after high school. They moved into a fixer-upper cottage and made due with the help of family and friends.
Bob worked as a salesman for a chemical fertilizer company, and Sue waited tables at the town's only diner. Their wages allowed them to save just enough to fix their home and maybe, someday, have children. At twenty-eight years old they were well on their way to achieving their goals. However, after ten years of married life, as any couple will attest, sex had become routine and pedestrian.
Sue was ever the dutiful wife and was always romantically receptive. Bob, on the other hand, often had to make an effort to become amorous towards his wife.
Bob would travel often to service his accounts and had to be away several days each month. Upon his return he would usually be in a frisky mood, and then within days revert to the routine.
Bob wasn't particularly taken with pornography. He found it stimulated him to masturbate but distracted him from his wife, and that he thought wasn't appropriate.
On a trip to Montana to service an account he found himself in a waiting room that had several men's magazines lying around. Leafing through a few with grisly pictures of ghastly women, he came upon one with articles from readers that had submitted "what should I do" questions to the editor. Many concerned cheating wives or husbands. A few were about odd likes and dislikes. But one article piqued Bob's interest just as he was called into the buyer's office. He closed the magazine and stuffed it into his briefcase.
That night he was staying at a motel before flying home the following day. As he readied for bed he remembered the article, he pulled the magazine out of his briefcase, and began reading. It recounted the trials and tribulations of a couple that had grown comfortably dull in their marriage.
As Bob read he realized this couple had some of the same issues as he and Sue had. Bob ascertained while reading that there were many things he was not willing to do in the name of love. There were toys and gadgets and escapades that made him uncomfortable as he imagined them. Still, there were ideas that he might consider trying out with Sue. He resolved to try and went to sleep.
Arriving back home by noon, he dropped off his sales orders at the office and headed to the house. He wanted to be showered and shaved when Sue came home at 4 o'clock.
When Sue walked in Bob was ready and waiting for her. He had already worked up an erection in anticipation of their rendezvous. She saw him in his bathrobe and took a double take before smiling.
"Aren't you comfortable looking." She said with a smirk.
"I thought that we could play around a little before dinner." Bob said, moving forward to embrace her.
Sue felt his erection touch her thigh as he held her tightly. They kissed passionately. Sue gazed wide eyed at her husband wondering what had come over him.
Bob maneuvered her to the living room floor and immediately went for the hem of her dress, trying desperately to move it up her thighs. The tight fitting waitress dress was complicating his intentions and frustration mounted. Forcefully, he lifted her up and simultaneously shoved the hem upwards. Now fully exposed, her panties glowed with the potential of her womanly virtue. Bob was frantic. He dove into her crotch and probed her with his tongue. Placing a finger under the band of sheer material obscuring his prize he pulled too forcefully and the panties ripped. Uncaring, he jammed his stiffened tongue into her delicate folds.
Sue was taken by his swift, violent movements. She felt his heightened stimulation and fell prey to its influence. She began undulating against his face and in short order began to orgasm.
Bob continued his assault, at the same time ejaculating down his leg, ostensibly from the heightened state of psycho-sexual stimulation alone.
Bob fatigued and collapsed between Sue's thighs. Sue gasped for breath as she drew the back of one hand across her forehead; the other ran through Bob's hair as he lay against her pelvis.
Sue spoke first, "What brought that on?"
Bob was slow to respond. He wondered how much to divulge to her about the magazine article, or whether he should say anything at all. But they had always been honest with one another, and he decided that she should know what he was thinking too.
"I was reading about how other couples spice things up and I had an idea that maybe we could too. That is, if you agree."
"Wow! If this is how you want to spice it up, I'm all for it."
"Well, I have some more ideas, if you want to hear them."
"Tell me while I make dinner, honey."
Bob explained his discovery in the waiting room and the odd things that some people do. He outlined what he thought might be fun, and things he felt were taboo. Sue agreed with him about the weird stuff and granted that they could use some stimulation in their love life; especially if it entailed what had transpired between them earlier.
Bob explained to her his interests and Sue accepted that she was open to try his ideas initially, and then as she became more comfortable with the concept she would make suggestions. Bob's first fantasy was to role play as other people that they found attractive. For several weeks they played the parts of Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie. But as all fantasies wear thin, this one became stale for them and they decided to try a different avenue.

In high school Bob and Sue were considered popular, but decidedly not the "in crowd". There was one guy though, a jock, that had been the envy of every guy and the romantic object of every girl in school -- Clark Jensen.
Clark Jensen was a high school football legend and was still living in town. He never was able to achieve the same success in life as he had in high school, but he was still a heart throb to many local women who remembered his exploits.
Bob suggested that he play the role of Clark Jensen having an affair with Sue. Sue demurred, she had a crush on Clark like all of the other girls, but Bob insisted and they began their "Affair". If there was a more revealing reason for Sue's reluctance it could not be imagined; she became animated as Bob acted the part of her illicit lover, Clark. She screamed as she came time and time again, telling "Clark" what a stud he was.
For Bob's part, he relished the idea of Sue being ravished by a stud.
The routine was now much more exciting and they were able to act out several scenarios with Clark as the central character.
One day, as Bob arrived home from work, Sue all but raped him as he stepped through the door. They thrashed on the floor and fucked wildly until their passions abated.
"Wow Sue, what got into you?" Bob asked, bewildered.
"You won't believe who stopped in the diner for lunch today!"
Bob mulled it over for a moment before it occurred to him, "Clark?"
"Yes."
"Holy crap."
"I know. I almost lost it. As he ordered his lunch I was thinking of him naked, I shook so hard I dropped my order pad. Then I almost dropped his lunch on him. Oh... god was I nervous."
Bob's libido was invigorated. He pushed his wife back onto the floor and began to penetrate her again. They talked as they fucked, about Clark and Sue and the make believe illicit affair. Their love life had begun to soar.
That night, as they lay in bed, Bob wondered out loud if perhaps Sue had really wanted Clark. It wasn't really a question as much as it was a suggestion.
Sue hesitated, thinking for a moment before answering, "Maybe... But I could never do it. Everyone in town would find out and then what? Game over!"
"I suppose you're right. Still...."
"Still?" Sue asked.
"Wanting to do it and doing it are very different things. I kinda like the idea of you considering it."
"Really?"
"Umm hmm, let me show you..." Bob crawled between Sue's legs and frantically demonstrated his resolution.

Bob had to travel for a few days on business. He called Sue at bedtime and for the first time in their lives they had very good phone sex while discussing the things Sue would do with Clark, given the chance.
In Sue's mind the question wasn't would she do the nasty things they imagined, but could she do them. The small town gossips would tear her marriage apart, they wouldn't survive the shame. The question then became allegorical; it must remain a fantasy.
For Bob's part, the question was always an erotic one; meant to stimulate the discussion. The thought of Sue actually acting on the suggestion was pure fantasy.
