As I drove back toward home I literally felt like I was floating in the clouds I was so euphoric. As strange as it sounds, the encounter with Brandon felt like one of the most perfect moments of my life so far. I know it sounds ridiculous to some, but I'm just being honest. It didn't matter that my rational mind was trying to tell me that I had just been humiliated in a way that most men would never allow, much less feel good about. But the honest truth is, I felt such a weird sense of peace...like I had found my place in life. To this day I recall thinking that everything before today was just a pretense or a searching for the person I should be. Don't get me wrong, I knew this whole thing was a risky endeavor I was embarking upon. I also knew a lot of my joy was based on the way Brandon had handled the entire thing, in particular the fact that he treated me in a gentle, but strong, and helpful manner. It was this confident but gentle attitude that tamed the rage inside and made it possible for me to submit as I did on my knees before him. I'll never know if my life would have turned out differently had he been a bully.
I won't deny that I also had butterflies, lot's of butterflies, in the pit of my stomach thinking about facing my wife and telling her what had occurred... and then, try to express how I was feeling about it all. And I don't think any words I write could ever express how outrageously crazy this entire situation felt to me as a man and husband. But, for some reason, I could glimpse a ray of sunshine and hope surrounded by these dark clouds. It was that hope, the hope and desire to bring something more into Sarah's life and my life...and into our marriage.
After the encounter with Brandon, I no longer even wanted to try and deny that Sarah was missing something that I now realized I could never give her. It wasn't just the physical differences, even though his cock made mine look silly. It was also very clear to me now that there was truly something different about a strong and dominant man. For the first time in my life, I accepted that I was not that kind of man and never could be. My humiliation and ultimate surrender made it crystal clear there were two categories of men. And just like I had been reading about Alpha and beta men, I now knew this were true. Now it seemed a settled fact of life to me that no one can truly change how they were made...those traits of personality buried deep down inside the hidden caverns of the mind and soul are there forever. I also knew that I loved Sarah and wanted to somehow make it okay that she experience such a man and fulfill her needs for that which I could not give her. In this moment, I knew in my deepest heart that I had the same needs for a strong man as she does...I knew how wonderfully fulfilled I felt...and in my love for her I wanted her to have all she needed to be fulfilled too. Now, if I could just express all my thoughts and feelings in words she could understand...

When I entered the apartment Sarah was sitting on the sofa waiting for me. I was terrified and had no idea how to begin to express all of the overflowing thoughts I wanted to express. All I could say was, "It's all going to be okay Sarah.I met with Brandon and it didn't go as I had thought it would, but I think we can all work this out. I want to tell you how sorry I am for all the cruel things I said earlier."
Sarah jumped up from the sofa and hurried across the room and into my arms. As we silently held one another, it felt like a flowing stream was washing away all of the mud from our wounded souls and restoring the intense bond of love that had been buried beneath the murky deceptions we had both been living under. "I'm sorry too Chris, I should have never done what I did with Brandon. I don't know what came over me," Sarah sobbed in my ear.
"Baby, we have so much to talk about. For awhile now I think I have been subconsciously learning about myself and the kind of man I am. First off, I don't judge you for falling for Brandon. And I just want to get this out there now and be honest, I fell for him too this evening...Sarah, I had sex with him tonight."
Sarah gently shushed me and said, "I know baby, he called and told me what had happened."
"I was hoping he would as I drove home. I had no idea how to tell you," I confessed.
"I doubt that he gave me all the details, but he too said he thinks this is all going to work out for the best for all of us. He also said he has a lot of respect for you," Sarah told me.
"Wow, that's a surprise. But I have to admit that he's hard not to admire in so many ways," I replied.
She snuggled into my neck and kissed me again, then said, "If I'm not mistaken, I think I smell the distinct aroma of his cum on you." Then she kissed my neck again and smiled at me playfully.
"I'm pretty sure your nose isn't deceiving you," I said and chuckled.
"We're all going to be fucking each other, aren't we," she asked.
"To put it bluntly, I think we are. Does that make you happy?"
"I couldn't be happier. The only thing that could have made my cheating better was if you were there too! And that's the honest truth. Knowing Brandon, I didn't think he would be interested in sharing me with another man. But I also had no idea you might be willing to have sex with him too. And for that matter, I didn't even know he was bisexual! But once Brandon and I started watching some of the porn stuff you had been watching, not only did we begin to understand your sexuality better, we both got totally turned on by the whole idea of it," she confided in a rush of excitement. It was obvious to me now just how relieved she was at being able to open up about her affair.
"All I can say to that is I'm so glad you two spied on me. Had you not, I think this could have all ended up in a very horrible way," I told her as I realized just how clouded our secret lives had become.
