This is part 3 (obviously) of an ongoing story. To understand this better it would be helpful if you have read the previous installments.

Cathy was coy about her date when I tried to dig for details. "No details for you yet!" she said with a smile.
The tease made me so much more anxious I could have burst! I had obsessed for hours the night before while she was out, and I was still at it.
"Please! I won't ask who he is, just like you said before the date." I pleaded with my wife. "Come on . . . at least tell me where you went."
"Not yet. When I feel like it I'll open up, and only as much as I am ready." she replied. "I will say that I had a good time, and I'm going out with the same man Tuesday night."
It was Sunday morning, and this isn't something I was expecting. I planned on handling my feelings on a weekly basis, like we had agreed to at the start.
"I thought you were only planning on going out on Saturday nights?" I asked.
"Planning, yes. But I've been asked out, and as a woman 'on the market', as it is, I feel free to accept dates. That is what you asked for, isn't it - that I would be free to explore other men without your interference?"
I had no arguement. That was the nature of the agreement I had spent so long begging her to accept. I had wanted for my wife to date as a single woman - to find other men to experience. Still I felt a twist of the double edged knife. I wanted this. It stirred my soul and I couldn't deny the fact. But I also felt the pang of want for her, the testosterone driven desire to possess her sexuality.
"This is the reality of your desire George. You essentially begged me to be with other men. I finally accepted that you could REALLY want this. But I have final say in this, and you agreed to my terms. If you want your wife 'on the market', you have to accept you've lost any say in who I date, when I go out, or even what I do."
"Yes Cathy, I agree that this is the only way for you to start dating," I said feeling my heart thumping with anxiety.
"Okay," she replied. She seemed relieved at my response. "In fairness I will tell you that I did have a good time on my date. For now that's all you need to know. I do expect you to do exactly as we have agreed while I am out on a date, specifically I want you here at home and not touching yourself. I was very happy at how attentive you were as a lover last night, and want your sexual tension awaiting my return whenever I go out."
