Chapter 49
Once we returned from our England vacation, Cheryl didn't immediately resume her occasional dates with the Gym Guy and Brad. In fact, it was only a little more than a month following our return that I came home from work one day to find Cheryl in the bedroom on the phone to Brad. My wife hadn't had a date with Brad in some time and I wondered if something was awry, but I'd long ago vowed not to pry into Cheryl's relationships with other men.
Cheryl stayed on the phone with Brad for almost an hour and when she finally emerged from the bedroom, she came out ranting and raving that Brad was an idiot and he deserved everything he got. And when Cheryl eventually calmed down, she told me that Brad's wife Cindy had caught him cheating with one of their neighbors.
Cheryl had no problem with Brad having sex with other women, after all, my wife was hardly one to cast stones. But, now, Cindy was threatening divorce and Brad was looking at a possible second failed marriage. Cheryl was livid that Brad could be so careless, and she firmly declared, "I told him we're through! I'm not going to be a part of breaking up his marriage!"
I spent a good part of that night consoling Cheryl over losing her long-time lover. Although Brad and I never really clicked, Cheryl truly enjoyed his company in addition to his sexual prowess and I was oddly sad to see their relationship come to an end. That said, I was proud of Cheryl for taking the high ground. She clearly wanted to avoid any situation where she might be blamed for Brad's divorce. And with Brad now on a short leash, Cheryl wasn't about to risk being caught red-handed with Cindy's husband.
That evening as Cheryl and I talked things over, my wife eventually began to feel much better about breaking up with Brad. I reminded my wife that there were plenty of other guys who would love to have an affair with a woman as beautiful and sexy as her. And when I reminded Cheryl that she'd just recently enjoyed a torrid, short-term affair with Ian, a man twenty years her junior, she finally began to come around.
"You know, you're right, Brad is getting a little too old," laughed Cheryl after I extolled her ability to seduce a handsome young stud like Ian.
Cheryl then giggled, "I guess if I'm going to have a lover, they should at least be able to fuck a couple times a night, right?"
When I wholeheartedly agreed with my wife, Cheryl turned to me and said, "Thanks, Mike. I love that you always know how to cheer me up. You're the best."
My wife's words warmed my heart and that night after dinner, Cheryl and I made love. It wasn't my best effort, but neither was it my worst and after coming way too soon, I spent the next twenty minutes with my tongue between my wife's legs, eventually getting her off while she reminisced about her final night with Ian.
When it rains, it pours and it was no more than a month following Cheryl's break-up with Brad that she received some disappointed news from her other long-time lover, the Gym Guy. It seems that after losing his job in a corporate restructuring, he and his wife decided to return to his original hometown, Buffalo, New York.
Cheryl had been seeing, and fucking, the Gym Guy for well over twenty years and although their get-togethers were sometimes few and far between, my wife always returned home with a satisfied smile and a creamy pussy for her loving cuckold husband. And now, knowing that the Gym Guy was moving away, Cheryl suddenly realized how much he'd meant to her all these years and how he'd frequently been her "go-to" guy when she was feeling sexually deprived.
When Cheryl told me the Gym Guy was moving, I could tell she was genuinely sad to see him go. In fact, after all these years of hearing my wife solely refer to him as the Gym Guy, my wife finally told me his name was Dave.
As it turned out, Dave's wife was leaving a week before him and so for his final week in the Bay Area, Cheryl arranged to spend several nights with her long-time lover. My wife even went so far as to use some of my Hyatt points to reserve a room at the San Francisco Hyatt Regency where she and Dave could enjoy his final two nights together.
To be sure, it was not an easy week for me, but I resigned myself to making sure Cheryl had every opportunity to enjoy her last few get-togethers with Dave. It didn't help that my wife had, after a somewhat lengthy hiatus, insisted that I be locked in chastity for the duration of her week-long adventure with Dave. In fact, it was five days before Dave's wife left for Buffalo that Cheryl sat me down and essentially demanded that I don my pink plastic cage.
I'd just arrived home from work and after greeting Cheryl, I headed up to our bedroom to change out of my suit. Uncharacteristically, however, my wife followed me upstairs and as I was taking off my clothes, she opened her dresser drawer and removing my chastity cage, she said, "Mike, I want you to wear this until Dave leaves for New York."
The way Cheryl phrased her request, I knew there was no arguing with her. There are times when my wife makes up her mind about something and there's no changing it. This appeared to be one of those times. And although I had been looking forward to numerous impassioned masturbation sessions while Cheryl and the Gym Guy enjoyed their last few moments together, I resigned myself to a chaste existence for the next couple of weeks.
As I was dutifully sliding the pink sleeve over my penis and attaching the rings that held it in place, Cheryl explained that she really wanted to focus all her attention on Dave before he left and that with me in chastity she knew I'd be a "good boy."
