Susan loved her husband, but something was missing. Dominic was a wonderful man, and they had a beautiful life together. They were the suburban couple of the year from the outside, but on the inside, things were stale.
"You should have an open marriage," her friend Luisa suggested for the thousandth time at their annual Christmas party. "James and I love having threesomes."
"You know he's not going to go for that. He's such a stick in the mud."
"You've got to spice things up somehow."
"Believe me, I've tried. Lingerie, toys, porn. It doesn't work."
"Do you think he'd like a white girl? I've got a good friend..." Luisa smiled like she wanted to tell another one of her raunchy stories.
"He doesn't seem too interested in the white girls in the pornos. And of course in the black ones the guy always has a huge dick. I'm don't get those because I'm afraid he'll be insecure."
"Really Susan?" Luisa sighed. "That's why he needs a white girl. My friend can't tell the difference!" They laughed, and Susan looked around for her husband. Maybe they did need another person. Lord knows she had been thinking of having an affair just to add some excitement. At the top of her list was Luisa's husband James. He was the alpha male defined--sexy, powerful, and confident. He would be perfect in one of those big dick pornos. Not that she had seen him naked, but Luisa had told her stories. He was Dominic's best friend too. He would be perfect to get them out of their rut.
Where was Dominic anyway? Probably hiding in the kitchen again. Susan shook her head. He was a fantastic cook, but a terrible host. She remembered all the time she spent cracking open his shell when they were dating. Fifty plus people at a party was not his scene. She headed inside to find him. Coming outside at the same time was James. She took a moment to admire his wide, muscular frame and his dark brown skin. Big dick porno indeed.
"How are you doing, Susan?" He asked, stopping her at the door. "Where's Dominic? I haven't seen him all night."
"I was just going to find him. You know he hates these things."
"Is everything going all right between you two?" He put a hand on her shoulder.
"Why do you ask?"
"Luisa mentioned it on our way here. Saying you had been fighting more."
Susan sighed. "We just...kind of...lost the groove, you know?"
"You need to get it back! You two are my best friends. I can't have you separating. And imagine the scandal it would cause in the neighborhood."
"I know. We just have to think of something."
"Well, if you need any help, let me know." He winked at her. She blushed, remembering what she had just been thinking. Of course he didn't mean that. James was very open about his sexuality, but he had never forced it on her or Dominic. Besides, Dom would never let it happen. Sighing again, Susan went into the house.

"Did you have a good time, baby?" Luisa asked James as they drove home.
"I had fun. Hardly talked to Dom at all. He was AWOL." James loved his best friend, but he was more fun one on one than in big crowds.
"Sounds like they're still not doing well."
"Sue mentioned it." He hated that they were unhappy, but they both needed to loosen up a bit. Susan was a bombshell with her chocolate brown skin and carefully styled hair. He had often thought about having sex with her. He would be gentle at first, then rough, dominating her like Dominic would never do. Dom, despite his nickname, was definitely submissive, and James had had some fantasies about him too. Some humiliation, face-fucking, and ending it all with his cock up his ass. James knew where he wanted to take those two, but they would never go for it. What a pity. "I'll call Dom tomorrow and see what's up."
When they got home, James went to bed. Luisa had a play date, so he didn't expect to see her until the morning. He was sleeping soundly when he felt his phone vibrating beside the bed. Thinking it might be his wife, he immediately picked up. "Yeah?"
"James..." He made out his name between sobs. It was Susan. He sat up in bed.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Dominic....he's gone..."
"Gone where?"
"I don't know. We had a big fight, and he said he wanted a divorce, and he walked out, and he's not answering his phone!" The poor girl was nearly hysterical.
"Calm down, Sue. We'll find him. I'm coming over right now." Dom was such a pussy. Walking out on his wife instead of working on their issues. A call to his phone went straight to voicemail, so James dressed and drove over to comfort Susan.
She answered the door in her nightgown, and he couldn't help but notice her perky nipples underneath the thin material. He gave her a hug, feeling a guilty pleasure as he pressed up against her. There was more than one way to comfort her--but first, he had to let her talk. They sat on the couch, and she told him all the details about having to clean up by herself, fighting, and Dom walking out.
"Everyone has fights," he told her. "He probably just needs to blow off some steam."
"What if he doesn't come back?"
"You know he will." He massaged her shoulder. "He loves you to death, and you treat him good. Too good," he added.
She sighed. "He said I treated him like a baby."
