This is a true story. Most of the stories I write (although based in reality) are an embellishment of the truth, one was a complete fantasy. This story is as close to the truth as I can recall only the names have been changed to protect the not-so innocent.
This is the story of how I became a cuckold. If this is not a theme you do not like to read about then this story (although mild) probably isn't for you. Otherwise enjoy.

Caroline and I had been together, on-and-off, for a little over 2 years. She was lovely. Warm, funny, loving and hot as hell. At 5'4", she was not tall, but had a nice figure--sweet ass and shapely legs--coupled with a pretty face, long auburn hair, and a knockout smile. She was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with; I just hadn't got round to asking her that question yet. The reason for this was not my (pathological) fear of commitment; rather, it was because over the last 2 years we had split on several occasions. Truth be told, it was these splits that made me realize how deeply I felt for her. It physically hurt when we were apart.
We stayed 'friends' during each split. One evening (during one such 'split'), we were alone in Caroline's flat, (that's apartment for US readers). After a little too much wine she told me she had been seeing an old boyfriend. I was shocked and devastated.
"It's Ok," she told me having obviously seen the expression on my face, "it's just sex."
"What!" I screamed internally, who did she think she was -- a man?
We talked for a long time that night. He was an ex who she had dumped, as he was also a bit of an ass. He was now married with one child and a second on the way. She had been horny as hell, and he was a good lover. Slowly, it emerged that we had serious problems in the bedroom. I (actually, Caroline), suffered from my premature ejaculation-- it was a rare event for me to last more than 2 minutes inside her.
When we were together she would tell me things like, "It's OK", and I enjoy the intimacy", but it wasn't true. When it comes down to it every woman needs a good fucking-- at least occasionally.
We talked long and it became clear that the underlying cause of our regular breaks was simple, sexual frustration. She loved me, but this was a serious problem that meant we could have no future. She wanted to get back together but had concluded it was over; the on-off-on-off nature of our relationship was too painful, for both of us. She was right.
The prospect of us being seriously 'finished' hit me hard. A thought passed my through my head, it was over my lips, before I had a chance to think.
"If it is just sex with this guy, " I started, refusing to acknowledge his name. "What if you could keep seeing him? Do you think we could have a chance?"
I hadn't considered the full implications of what I had just said. I gathered from the deafening silence, clearly Caroline was doing that now. It wasn't as ridiculous as it may have sounded; We were finished and therefore had nothing to lose. Worst-case scenario, we were both pretty drunk and when the cold light of day led to a reassessment of the proposal, we could write it off to that.
Finally she spoke.
"No." It was a socially correct answer, and the correct reply from what was basically a 'good' girl.
"No; we couldn't... It's wrong," She queried.
"What's so wrong?" I inquired.
"I love you. I need to be with you, and will do anything to make you happy. Ok, this isn't exactly what I had in mind but if that's what it takes then so be it."
"We can't." She protested.
"Do you love him?" I asked.
"No. I've told you already, its just sex." She replied.
"Then I can live with it, it's like.." I was struggling for a suitable metaphor.
"It's like going to the hair dresser, something you need that I cannot do for you." I let the thought sink in.
"What do we have to lose? Think about it; I will. It'll probably just sound crazy in the morning." I ended with a chuckle, kissed her on the forehead and left.

3 days later text message arrived. "U serious?"
A simple reply was all that was required, "Yes."
The next one arrived. "Can I come over tonight?"
"'Course you can. 8pm curry?"
"Cool!"

8pm--Caroline is always punctual--the doorbell rang out. She was standing there looking as hot as ever, clutching a bottle of wine. I enjoyed the view just a little too long.
"Aren't you going to invite me in then?" she asked with a giggle in her voice.
It was uncomfortable at first, like a first date. Neither of us would raise the subject, although we both wanted to talk about it. We ordered the food (if you'd ever tasted my cooking you'd know why we ordered food!). It wasn't until after the meal, and a few glasses of vino, that we finally got onto the subject.
Once we started talking, it was impossible to stop. We had both given it a lot of thought and once again we talked for hours. By 2 am, we had agreed the following guidelines:
1. Total honesty. Neither of us were in any doubt how difficult this would be, nor that deception/concealment would make matters much worse.
