I am a very, very lucky lady.
First thing that makes me lucky: the man that I married. Steve and I have been married for 5 years, the best years of my life. He is handsome, sexy, kind, sweet, and is extraordinarily good to me, to the point of spoiling me rotten. We laugh, talk, make love, and are the very best of friends. He is my heart, and I don't know what I would do without him.
The second thing that makes me lucky: my lover Alex.
So let me back up a bit. A few years ago, Steve and I had a discussion one evening after we made love. We were discussing past lovers, and I mentioned that years ago I had the opportunity to have a threesome with my then boyfriend and his friend. But I passed it up, being too inexperienced at the time, and not wanting to make a fool of myself. Steve was quiet for a few minutes, and as I drifted to sleep, he whispered in the dark "I would love to see that."
My eyes flew open, and I turned my head to try and get a better look at his face. "What?" I asked. After a moment, Steve told me (in a hesitating way) that seeing me in bed with another man was something that would intrigue him. He said that I was so exciting in bed, so responsive, that seeing me with another man would be a huge turn on. This led to a more in-depth conversation, as we discussed further what we would like to experience, things like my being with another woman, possibly scouting out the area for swinger parties, and so on. After talking for what seemed all night, we finally fell asleep.
So did the topic. We didn't bring it up again, and we more or less let our desires lie. We still had the best relationship around, and life went on.
Then we decided to get a computer.
I wanted the computer so I could organize my daily work better. Steve wanted it so he could try out some cyber surfing. So we bought one, hooked it up, and entered the 20th century with everyone else. It changed our lives.
