I was lying on Tom, my husband of seven years, letting the afterglow of sex wash over me and his penis slowly become flaccid while still inside me. After all those years, sex was still good. We knew how to please each other; I could count on two orgasms whenever I had the chance to finish our love making on top. At the same time, sex had become very predictable. Each of us knew not only what the other liked, but how they would respond. I often would find myself fantasizing that I was with a new and different lover. I never knew what prompted me to say it, but as I lay there, I asked Tom, "Who were you fantasizing you were with just now?"
"Why you of course," he responded as he promptly went limp and fell out of me.
I pressed him good humouredly, "you mean to tell me, that after all this time you never imagine that you're making love to someone different? Tell the truth."
He paused before saying, "Karen."
Karen was a good friend of mine. She was in her late twenties, looked great, slim, with breast implants that gave her a body that stood out in a crowd. She had also been married and divorced twice. She loved to flirt, and always wore provocative, sexy outfits that accentuated her attributes. I could well understand his answer. "I would be worried about you if you didn't find her attractive," I offered. "She thinks you're pretty hot too. She's even confided to me that she would like to do you."
Tom rolled us over so we were side by side. "Who were you fantasizing about?" he asked.
I wasn't surprised he asked the same question. Men are so predictable. "Your friend Nate," I replied. I believed my response caught him off guard by the way his body stiffened and he shifted ever so slightly. Nathan was an engineer; a coworker of Tom's, who had recently received a big promotion. They also played on the same basketball team; a team Tom had recently joined. Tom was the only white guy on the team. I had only met Nathan a few times. I remembered him from the company picnic and holiday party and the few games I dropped by to watch. He was single, tall, muscular and good looking. I thought of him as the original tall, dark and handsome.
"Why Nate?" Tom asked. He sounded a little defensive.
"If I'm going to fantasize, I might as well go all the way," I replied. "He's handsome, has a great body, and there's just something erotic and forbidden about interracial sex that I find exciting to think about. After all, I'm only fantasizing; I'm not planning to have an affair with him."
By that time, I was ready for sleep, so I rolled over with my back to Tom and snuggled in my pillow. Tom, with other ideas, reached an arm around me and pulled me against him; he was hard again. It had been many years since he was interested in more than one orgasm in an evening. His hard penis easily slipped between my labia, still oozing cum from our recent bout of love making. I rolled on my stomach and rose up on my knees so he could take me in my favorite position, doggie style. His penis slid full depth into me in one stroke, easily accommodated by the semen still there. Tom commenced ramming in and out of me from behind. The force of his thrusts pushed my face into the pillow. He was squeezing and pulling at my breasts, thrusting roughly in and out of me as if posessed. I tried to imagine what he was thinking about that drove him to make love to me so hard and brutally. Was he pretending I was Karen, or visulizing me with Nathan? Suddenly he stopped. His rock hard penis was still deep inside me. I came again as I felt him pumping more semen into me. We both collapsed from the exertion and lay there on the sweat-soaked sheets.
The next weekend we were lingering in the kitchen over breakfast coffee when out of the blue Tom blurted out, "Nate would like to do you too."
I was more than a little taken back. "What do you mean; Nate would like to do me?" My tone alone was enough to put Tom on the defensive. "Just what did you say to him?"
All Tom could do was stammer. I was getting angrier by the moment. "You went up to a guy I barely know and told him I wanted to fuck him? What were you thinking?"
He finally managed to say, "Well you told me that you fantasized about having sex with him."
"Can't you tell the difference between fantasy and reality?" I shot back. "What kind of world do you live in?"
I was so angry and upset; I simply got up and left, leaving Tom sitting there. I got into my car and started to drive, with no particular destination in mind. The next thing I knew I was pulling into Karen's driveway. After all, she was my best friend.
She was home, and we spent the rest of the morning discussing dumb things men do. Finally she said, "His stupidity aside, why don't you take him up on it? I'd be bored screwing the same guy all the time. Here you have a chance to get some strange and you can see for yourself what it's like making love to your fantasy lover. Why pass up such a chance? If it's a disaster, you can hold Tom responsible."
I pondered this for a while before saying, "You really think so? I never contemplated making it real."
"The real question is; is it something you really want to try? And be honest with yourself." was Karen's reply.
After a long pause, I admitted "I really don't know. At a certain level, I want to, but I'm scared. I really love Tom and I don't want to do anything that would endanger our marriage."
"I think you should explore it." Karen encouraged. "We could arrange a double date. I know a nice place we can go for dinner and dancing that's far enough out of town that we won't see anyone who knows us. If it feels right, we can go to your house and see what develops." Before I had a chance to answer, she added, "But you'll have to get a new outfit for the evening. You can't wear your usual school teacher clothes."
"You seem a little too much in favor of this. Maybe you just want to fuck Tom," I challenged.
"I admit, Tom's a great looking guy, and I would like see what he's like in the sack, but you're my friend. Tom will be safe with me. I can get lots of guys, but true friends are harder to come by. I just think that you deserve to have some more excitement in your life. You and Tom both want it, or this never would have gotten to where it is."
I pondered what Karen said as I drove home, still undecided about what to do. I did love Tom, and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Still, our lives and our love making were definitely in a rut. Tom and I were both virgins when we met. We were about as naive and inexperienced as they come. Over the years, we matured together sexually, but we only had each other to learn from. By the time I got home, I hadn't decided what to do.
Tom was not a happy camper when I arrived home later in the evening. He had been stuck looking after the kids when I left unexpectedly, and missed his tee time. We had a heated discussing about communication and just what he was hoping to accomplish by offering me as a sex partner to someone I barely knew. The more we talked, the angrier I became. While he continued to claim that he made the offer hoping to please me, I suspected his real interest was in bedding Karen. After all she did claim to be the world's best lover, and with her history, I didn't doubt her. I was more angry about the way he went about it than any thing else. I finally just announced, "OK, let's all get together for dinner and we'll see what happens, and I hope Nate fucks me until I have trouble walking straight!" That left Tom speechless and ended the discussion.
I called Karen the next day and related what I said to Tom. She laughed hysterically, which was good therapy for me. We got together later in the week to find just the right dress for me to wear on our "double date". I ended up with a cute little number that I surprised myself by buying. It wasn't like anything I had ever owned. My Irish heritage had given me pale skin with raven black hair. The dress was a shade of green that suited me very well, even picking up the hint of green in my eyes. I worked hard to keep in shape, and the cut showed off my figure. My breasts were small enough that I could get away without wearing a bra, so my nipples were outlined through the thin fabric. With spaghetti straps, the neckline plunged sufficiently to hint that a breast might be revealed if the wearer wasn't careful.
Looking at me trying it on, Karen commented, "I'll shorten it for you, then you'll have men drooling to get into your pants; of course you shouldn't wear any."
The sales clerk stood by with a bemused look on her face. "Don't you think its short enough?" I protested.
