Irene ended up traveling with Matt three or four times a year, mostly within Europe, but occasionally further afield. Even though it ate me alive when they shared a hotel room, we desperately needed the money, and as long as I didn't actually have to witness it, I was able to justify it.
I thought I had come to terms with my wife's ongoing love affair with her boss, but there was always tension in the house right before she went away with him. This time was no different, and upon learning that she was to accompany Matt to Los Angeles for a long weekend, Irene went bikini shopping with her best friend Daphne. The two of them were like schoolgirls as they planned their trip to the local mall, Maremagnum, and I listened jealously as they discussed how many swimsuits Irene should pack for her trip to California.
When they returned from the mall several hours later, they both had purchased several two-piece bikinis, and were giddy with excitement. I knew Matt paid my wife very well for her company, but I wasn't thrilled that she had spent so much money on frivolous clothing. Irene seemed to read my mind, because at some point she assured me that she hadn't wasted any of our money on swimsuits.
"Matt gave me his credit card, baby," she said with a giggle, "he likes me to show off my body when I am around him."
That was a bigger kick in the nuts to learn that my wife's boss had paid for her sexy bikinis, and Irene seemed to get some pleasure from rubbing my face in her relationship with her boss. It was a true relationship too, not just a sexual tryst. They had connected on many levels, and in addition to being the sexual highlight of her life, Matt was also her mentor, her best friend and her trusted confidant. I knew that she shared all of her hopes and dreams with him, and it really pissed me off.
Matt was superior to me in every quantifiable way that women find appealing, and it hurt even more that they also connected intellectually. I wasn't sure how much Irene had shared about their relationship with Daphne, but the two of them were definitely sharing some hidden joke about Irene's upcoming trip. Judging by the way they were carrying on, I assume that they had enjoyed a cocktail with lunch, at the mall. So, it was no surprise when Irene opened a bottle of Cava, and the two of them enjoyed a glass.
Predictably, one glass turned into three or four, and once they were drunk, Irene had a great idea.
"Let's have a fashion show," she exclaimed. "I want to try on all of the stuff Matt bought me."
This was my cue to leave, and as I went to excuse myself, Irene emptied the entire contents of her shopping bags onto our living room floor.
"Where do you think you are going?" she asked me aggressively. "I need a man's opinion."
I tried to stammer my excuses but Irene was having none of it. Truth was, the last thing I wanted to witness was my wife cavorting around in some revealing bathing suits, paid for by her boss. However, Irene had made up her mind that I was going to watch, so I walked over to the sofa, and stood next to it, with my arms folded in defiance.
We had always been an equal partnership during our fifteen year union, but ever since Irene had taken a lover, she had asserted herself over me, and taken the reins of our marriage. Tonight was to be no different, and when she spoke it was with considerable authority.
"Sit," she ordered, as I lowered my ass to the sofa.
Daphne let out a little giggle, a combination of the champagne surging through her veins, and the knowledge that Irene controlled me.
There was a large pile of clothes on the living room floor, and as my wife began to select the first item for tonight's fashion show, I observed it cautiously. She selected a bright yellow, two-piece bikini first, and as she removed the tiny items of clothing from the pile, I could see that there were more than just bathing suits in it. I saw some lingerie first, a camisole, a matching garter-belt and what appeared to be some tights, or possibly stockings. Then a Lycra mini-dress, in an impossibly bright shade of lime green, and some matching stripper heels.
After my wife left the room to go and change into her new bikini, Daphne and I remained in the living room, and even though I was content to sit in an awkward silence, Daphne was buzzed and wanted to talk.
"Irene is so lucky to have such a generous and attentive boss," she mused, as I sat there in my jealous silence. "I wish my boss would buy me lingerie, although I imagine that there is a price to be paid," she added with a giggle.
I knew that Irene was paying the price for Matt's generosity, having witnessed first hand some of the sacrifices that she made to accommodate him. I only hoped that Daphne wasn't fully aware of the relationship between my wife and her boss.
A few moments later, Irene entered the room in a bright yellow, two-piece bikini, that left nothing to the imagination. It was very flattering to my wife, accentuating her nice breasts, although the tiny top barely covered her nipples. The bikini briefs were tiny also, providing just enough coverage to be considered acceptable to wear in public. Or so I thought, until Irene twirled slowly to reveal the rear of the bathing suit.
Her ass-cheeks were fully exposed, lifted and separated by a tiny piece of fabric that disappeared between her buttocks. I recoiled at the visual of my wife, and I closed my eyes briefly to try and blot the lewd image from my mind. As I did so, the memory of Matt's handprints across Irene's ass, after he had spanked her in the shower, filled my mind. Despite my efforts, I had been unable to shake that image, even though it had occurred several months ago.
As I opened my eyes, they were drawn to Irene's butt-cheeks, or rather, what hidden delight lay between them. I had my suspicions that Matt had taken my wife's anal cherry, although she would neither confirm or deny it, no matter how much I begged her to tell me.
Once Irene had completed her twirl, she invited comments from Daphne and I. I remained silent, my jealousy surfacing as Daphne spoke.
"That is beautiful, Irene," her best friend said. "Matt will love it."
"Take a picture," my wife instructed me, "I want to get Matt's approval."
