"He lives in Santa Maria," she said. "He coaches basketball at Hancock. Not far from here," she said.
"Then we will need to get ahold of this Marlon person," I said. "We need to spice up my wife's sex life. Maybe he can help us with that. You think?" After a brief pause, she nodded.
I found Marlon on the basketball court. I asked if there was a time we could talk. He was going to his office and motioned me to follow. Inside I sat across from him and crossed my legs. "I am married to Julie. You know her as Julie Wilson. Now she is Julie Phillips. We are having a problem I hope you can help us with," I said.
He looked curious but didn't say anything, just waited for me to go on. "This is the age of sexual consciousness," I said. "People are a lot more sexually free these days, don't you think?" Cautiously, he nodded. "Couples often open up their marriages. Our marriage has gone through some lulls, shall we say. You seem to have given my wife some good times," I said. He only nodded, like, of course.
"Well, I am wondering if you'd consider giving her that again?" I said. Funny thing, but as I was asking him to fuck my wife to put life back in her sex, I got turned on more than ever by the idea. I actually began to fantasize about him doing her. I became one of the men who actually enjoy seeing their wife being fucked. I didn't understand it, but it was undeniable. I actually was enjoying asking him to fuck my wife for me to help her restore her desire.
He put his big hands on the desk, his fingers of both hands intertwined into a fist. "You are asking me to fuck your wife for you?"
"Correct," I said. "She remembers you well. She thinks of you often. She remembers your time together," I said, avoiding actually saying anything about fucking.
"So, you think black men fuck better than white men?" he said, his hands still clasp in front of him, a scowl on his face. "You think our cocks are bigger so we fuck better? We are more macho? We fuck white women better than white men do? We don't just fuck whatever breaths," he said angrily.
Surprised by his apparent hostility, I stammered a bit, then tried to explain. "I don't mean to insult you. I don't know about any of that other stuff, but my wife seems to have an opinion on the matter. Look, I really don't know who fucks better, and it makes no difference to me, but if she does then that is what is important. I have come to a place in my life when marriage fidelity is less important than how satisfied she is," I said getting on a roll. "I didn't come here to offend you," I said standing up.
"I have come to the decision to give my wife the leeway to explore her sexual instincts without my interference from me," I said, getting on my high horse. "We foolhardy middle-class white guys call that opening up our marriage. I don't know if that is a good idea or not, but it is what I have decided to offer her, so if you would like to help make her sexually happier, then give me a hand. If you would rather not, then let me know."
He sat for a minute, then smiled. "Touché," he said. "Yes, I did know Julie, and I enjoyed her company. I misread your intentions, and I apologize. It is just as bad for me to misjudge you because you're white as the reverse. Your efforts to open your marriage are personal and that is your right, of course. I am happily married and will not be helping you satisfy Julie, but I applauded your efforts to help her achieve sexual satisfaction. Thank for giving me the chance," he said.
He shook my hand and walked me to my car. "Please tell Julie my decision has less to do with her than it does with my convictions about marriage and my wife." I assured him I would and I thanked him for at least hearing me out.
As I drove away I thought about my surprise at his turning down my suggestion. I expected a quick answer in the affirmative. I expected a hot black stud eager to fuck a white wife of someone else. He was somewhat right about the prejudice involved, although I had no bias against her being with a black man, but I did have preconceived notions about his sexual disposition. I expected him to jump at the chance to nail a white woman. I thought he would macho-man the white guy's wife.
I began to think about what I was going tell Julie. If possible, I wanted to avoid saying, or implying, he didn't want to fuck his old girlfriend. I would focus on his wife, especially because it probably had as much to do with that as anything. He was now married. He needed to be faithful. A noble motive. It had nothing to do with Julie.
When I got home I parked in the driveway. I could see her at the window and went straight to the side door. She met me in the laundry room. The question was on her face. "Marlon is now married," I said. "His wife is Joy. They have a baby coming."
All of that was true. He had told me about the baby as he was standing next to my car. I explain our conversation, leaving out his racial comments. I said he thought of her often and sent his warm regards. She listened, smiled, and nodded. "He never mentioned you had a sexual relationship and neither did I," I said.
"When I heard he was married I didn't mention our conversation," I said. "He seems like a nice guy I said, but you want to see if we can find either of the other two?" I asked her.
"Clevon," she said. "He is a really sweet guy," she added with a smile. "He was one of Marlon's roommates. He is very thoughtful and gentle, always very polite with me. I would like to try and find him. If you are still serious about this, yes I would like to see him again," she said with a winsome smile, as if she was recalling the good times.
I assured her I still wanted her to find someone she would like to be with. We began looking for him in the phone book, online, and through basketball websites. We found him at a basketball camp in Southern California. When I called him, I explain what we wanted, that she remembered him fondly, and would like to see him again. I was very honest with him, explaining my feelings and why I wanted her to find him. I said we had come to the decision to open things up.
He remembered her and asked how she was. I said she was sexually frustrated and I would like his help to give her an experience she would enjoy. He said he understood the new open marital philosophy and would do all he could to help.
We met him at a Marriott and had dinner together. It was fairly comfortable with the three of us and he did seem like a thoughtful and considerate person. "You look wonderful," he said. They hugged and I felt pretty good about bringing them together again. We were pretty open about wanting him to have sex with her, and he was gracious and considerate, seeming to care about her sexual needs and feelings.
He agreed that sex can get dull and routine after many years of marriage, and I was impressed with his understanding of our predicament, saying that it was thoughtful of me to want to give her a sexual outlet. "I would be honored to help," he said, showing none of the bravado I had halfway expected. We agreed on a time, made arrangements for a room, and decided to let them meet for dinner, to let her have a chance to reconnect in private.
I agreed that if she liked it, they could have it become a ongoing affair. I took her to the hotel, met him before dinner, and left them in the restaurant. I didn't go home, but got a room myself and she had her cell phone to call me if she changed her mind. I did not get a call. We met together, the three of us for breakfast, and it was clear she had enjoyed her night with him.
I was grateful for his attentiveness, and he was gentlemanly and respectful to her. I was eager to hear about it and as we drove home she couldn't stop talking about their time together. "He really is a good lover," she gushed. "He is not as big as Marlon, but he knows how to please a woman."
"Did you have an orgasm?" I asked. She said many and was very forthright with me about what they did. I was pleased she could be so open about her sex with another man.
"He really is skilled orally. I had many orgasms at his tongue," she explained honestly. "Oh, we had normal sex, but his pussy eating is masterful. Now we are going to have to work on your sexual satisfaction," she said. "You have any ideas on that?" I kissed her and said I would think about it.
We haven't done anything about that yet, and she is with Clevon about once a month, but since she started back with him, our sex has been much less routine and boring. Maybe there is hope for old people to reignite the flames of desire. All it seems to take is a little outside assistance, especially from a tall dark lover.
