Chapter 5
Tim wants an open marriage
After Brian had left Tim picked up his briefcase and started to head out the front door to leave.
"Tim, please don't leave. We need to talk about what has happened," Tami said with tears flowing from her beautiful blue eyes.
Tim replied, "I need some time alone Tami, I'm going to go back to Seattle for a couple of weeks."
"It wasn't what it looked like when you came home Tim, he was forcing himself on me," Tami pleaded.
She continued, "Tim all of the home security cameras were on and recording. If you check the recordings you'll see that he was forcing himself on me."
Tim agreed to play back the videos and he and Tami went downstairs to the lounge. Tim turned on the large flat screen television and set the recordings back to a couple of hours before he had returned home.
Starting with the outside recordings he started the playback as Tami jogged up to the front door. A few minutes later he watched Brian park across the street.
Tami said, "This is where he just sits out there watching the house. If you switch to the living room you will see me doing my stretches and closing the curtains after I notice him sitting out there."
As Tim watched that part he said, "Yeah you closed the curtain but you stood there for a minute and let your hair down, a guy could take that as an invitation."
Tim continued watching all the footage, he could see that Tami was pushing Brian away and demanding that he leave the house. But when it got to the part where he pulled off his jeans he saw Tami's expression change from anger to desire.
He continued to watch his wife become more interested as she removed her own top and walked toward the bedroom.
"Tami, I understand that you didn't invite him over and I could see that you were trying to fight off his advances but when he started taking off his clothes you looked like you wanted him as bad as he wanted you."
Tami responded, "It was just that he had already made it clear that I wasn't going to stop him so I decided to make it easy on myself. I didn't want to get beat up trying to stop him and he was going to have his way in the end."
Tami continued, "You showed up just in time to protect me. But then you let Brian drag me back into that bedroom. I know why you did it. You thought you just walked in and interrupted a consensual meeting between Brian and myself."
Tim responded, "You're right Tami, I should have listened to you instead of jumping to conclusions. But what was I suppose to think? Now that I've seen the recordings I understand what happened. But I could see from the look in your eyes that when you saw him taking off his clothes you were getting hot for him."
Tami replied, "Yes, I'll admit that I started to get turned on."
Tim said, "I understand, Brian is a good looking well built young man, I'm not going to blame you for being human. If I was being seduced by a hot young woman I don't know that I would be able to fight off the temptation either."
After a brief pause he continued, "Maybe it's time for us to rethink the boundaries of our marriage."
Tami replied, "Tim, I think we need to just put this behind us."
Tim continued, "Look Tami, We have been together for over 14 years, that's a long time to remain exclusive only to each other. Maybe we could experiment a little, at least we could try it for a while and if it doesn't work out we can stop."
"What exactly do you have in mind?" Tami asked.
Tim replied, "Let's not make any rules, we can just kind of figure it out as we go, do you agree?"
Tami said, "I don't know if I like the sound of this Tim, I'm going to go take a bath."
Tami headed up to the main level while Tim remained down stairs. He fixed himself a drink and sat down on the couch and watched Tami trying to resist Brian on the flat screen. As he watched the part where Brian pushed her down on the couch and pulled her jeans off he felt himself becoming aroused.
"That right Tami, this is the part where you start to give in to your suppressed urges," Tim whispered to himself.
