Dick and I have been married for twelve years, and we still love each other dearly and probably want to make the other happy even more today than we did when we first got married. Like most American men, he likes to fantasize about me "doing-it" with another woman, and I have done it three times for him with friends of mine, each time with him deriving more pleasure from the experience than I did.
For several years I've known that he often imagined me and Leslie, who he works with, doing it. In his mind we were a perfect pair: both (now) in our middle thirties, both working mothers (although she is divorced), about the same height, with similar (not skinny) figures, so we wear about the same dress, and bra, size; and she has blonde hair while mine is black.
There had never been an air of animosity or arrogance between she and I, but when we have seen each other, mostly at corporate dinners or parties, after saying an obligatory "Hello, its nice to see you again" we've generally gone in opposite directions and ignored the other the remainder of the evening.
That happened again, for the most part, at a dinner in July. The Happy-Hour and dinner went as described above but afterwards, in the bar, while I was talking with another wife, Leslie was bragging loudly about a recent award she had won when my husband stole her spotlight by saying "That's nothing, Sharon was recently votedβ¦".
Leslie shot me an angry look, and I could tell she was hurt and I thought about walking over and apologizing, but I didn't β partially because it felt good to hear my husband brag about me.
Dick and I had gotten a hotel room for the night, so there would be no need for a designated driver and so that we could make love without worrying about one of our kids running in and asking "What's you doing?", and maybe forty minutes to an hour later we had just closed its door and were kissing and beginning to help each other out of their clothes when we heard a knock on the door.
"What?", "Who could that be?" we asked each other.
Dick checked through the peephole and said questioningly "Its Leslie."
When he opened the door she sauntered in, possibly more inebriated than we were, saying "Hello" to Dick and then moving close to me.
