I'D had my eye on Eddie ever since we'd first met -- almost as intensely as he had his eyes on me, especially my legs, at every opportunity. The first time we met, at a meeting of a group to which we belong, my reaction to Eddie was almost identical to the reaction I'd had when I'd first encountered Tim many years before: the thought that, "NO man has the right to look at another man's wife like that!"
I loved it, just as I had the first time Tim had looked at me that way.
I confess to shamelessly playing up to Eddie every time we met thereafter, making sure he had a good (if seemingly accidental) leg show whenever possible and, in conversation, standing close to him, touching his chest and arms frequently, and skillfully loading our conversations with just enough double entendre' to keep him guessing as to exactly how much I meant in which way. Since our group is also big on hugging as a socially-acceptable greeting, I always made sure to hug him with more than just my arms, if you follow that.
Besides, being hugged by Eddie is quite an experience, since he's about a foot taller than I am, lanky, good-looking in an unconventional, Abraham Lincolnish sort of way, wry, quietly humorous . . and just a wee bit shy.
Tim and I, of course, discussed the mutual attraction between Eddie and I, just as we freely discussed his attraction to other women and I mentioned other men.
As anxious as I'd been to share my body with not just Tim but, simultaneously, with other men as well, though, there is a very definite line to cross the first time you put the urge into practice. You might find this hard to believe but, at the time Tim and I took up housekeeping together, he was one of only THREE men I'd actually had sex with in my entire life -- one of them my ex-husband -- notwithstanding the fact that I had my first rememberable sex fantasy (and, not too long thereafter, my first bout of masturbation) before I entered grade school, and one of my favorite fantasies for years has been of laying on a floor, naked, playing with myself with dildo, vibrator and fingers . . . while a group of equally naked men stand around me in a circle, watching me and jerking themselves off all over my quivering body.
It was Tim who decided it was time to take me across the line from fantasy to reality. He orchestrated exactly how it was done -- and Eddie was his instrument.

Unusual for a Saturday night, we had nothing in particular planned -- at least, I THOUGHT we didn't until Tim , over dinner, casually said, "Oh, by the way, darling, I've invited a friend over for drinks in a little while. I wonder if you'd be agreeable to wearing . ..." and he specified what he wanted me to put on. Interesting. I told him I'd be delighted to .. and who's his friend?
At that question, Tim got about half . . flustered/embarrassed/vague and went silent for a few moments before he looked up at me and said, "Uh . . sweetheart, unless you have some serious objections, I think I'd like to invoke our 'Do what you're asked without questions' agreement for the evening. I'd like what happens to be a surprise; it certainly will be for my friend . . and I'd like it to be that for you, too." He paused. "Look, Jill, that agreement of ours can be one helluva lot of fun for both you and I, but I don't think either of us is going to be comfortable THINKING about it until we actually DO it the first time. I think each of us needs to put the other through a totally unexpected event that involves someone other than just the two of us and get total cooperation before our minds will REALLY turn themselves loose.
"In other words," he said very seriously, taking my hand in his, "I'd like you to follow my lead blindly this evening . . so we can find out how we feel about it in the morning. Will you do that for me? For us?" His need was obvious, his discomfort plain. The implications, the possibilities -- good AND bad -- riffled rapidly through my mind, but I don't think he noticed the mini-second pause before I squeezed his hand and said, "I love you . . I trust you. Corny as it sounds, I'm yours to command," and gave him a smile.
"Thank you," was his simple reply. He glanced at his watch. "Go get your cute ass ready then, and I'll do the dishes; he's due in just half-an-hour."
Naturally, as soon as we both stood up, we kissed . . . long and deep (is there any other way?).

Finding Eddie at the door was, at one-and-the-same-time, both a pleasant AND an unsettling surprise. Pleasant because, as I've indicated, I like Eddie; unsettling because, with Tim knowing of my feelings toward Eddie, I immediately realized that my husband's imagination would be less inhibited than if whoever I'd greeted at the door had been a total stranger. Yet, there were also streaks of both excitement (I'd craved Eddie -- now I was pretty certain I'd have him before the night was out) and fatalism: I'd promised to do ANYTHING Tim asked, so I had no control over what was to happen . . . which, rather than being frightening, I found peculiarly comforting: it was out of my hands, so I could just relax and go with the flow, with no responsibility for anything that happened (isn't rationalization fun?).
So, the first flow I went with was the urge to hug, a big one, amply returned by our tall friend . . . although he wasn't quite as tall as usual, since one of the items Tim had specified I put on was a pair of shoes I had not, at that time, had an opportunity to wear in public, mostly because I was afraid of breaking my neck if I didn't get used to them around the house first. Black patent ankle-strap sandals, they have a two-inch platform under the sole . . and 7-inch stiletto heels! What they do for legs and the way I walk is totally obscene and, since this particular encounter, I HAVE worn them out in public, with spectacular results!
Eddie really didn't get a chance to see them at first, though, and his vague puzzlement over the difference in my height went unrequited as, arms around each other's waists, we walked into the livingroom, in the middle of which we stopped as he looked around him. "I like your decor," was about all he managed to find to say. The "decor" to which he referred was Tim 's photography: two walls of me, one of landscapes, one of other girls. The shots of me and the other girls are about evenly divided between portraits and what used to be known as "cheesecake": lots of legs showing in slit and short skirts, dresses, tunics, leotards; some cleavage, too. No tits, cunts or asses showing, but precious little of anything else hidden. It's a display intended to be very suggestive, and Eddie was in hog heaven, especially over the more leg-revealing shots of me, all of which had me in heels and hose, for which his fetish is as strong as ours (yes, "ours" -- I love the look and the feel of them, too).
About that time, Tim came in from the bedroom, gave Eddie a big greeting and deftly directed us so that our guest ended up on the couch and I ended up sitting in an easy chair directly across from him -- to BOTH our delights.
I must explain: Tim hadn't had me put on much but, as is always the case when he specifies my garb, it's with carefully malice aforethought. I was wearing a copper satin demi-bra -- push-up pads but no covering from below the nipple on up -- and a brown pair of very special stockings: picture a pair of pantyhose with the entire front, back and hips cut out of them and you've got it. With those was a pair of very minimal and quite transparent bikini panties. Over all this was a sleek, slick, shiny and totally concealing robe that flowed over my body, all the way down to the bottoms of my feet which, of course, were set in their fetishistic heels. Other than that, and my always-present ankle bracelet, I was naked . . . although, compared to what I normally wear around the house, I was overdressed.
