Rex, the guy who had fucked me senseless last weekend called me, on his way out of town. My husband Karl was away but would be back by midnight. I had time to talk.
Rex started out by saying, "Thank you for a wonderful time. We need to get things settled between us. By us, I mean you and Karl and me. Do you have time to talk?"
"Karl is out of town until late tonight."
I waxed philosophical. "I marvel at those European women who can separate love and sex. My husband had been there for me in sickness and in health for half our lifetimes. But sex is something else. I don't want to spend the rest of my life without a satisfying romance. Sex with Karl became mundane, then uncomfortable."
Rex asked, "He hurt you?"
I said, "No, not physically. But Karl's fantasy of watching me make love to someone else unsettled me. Then you came along. You touched me in places I never knew existed. Those French and Italian wives knew something I didn't: how to have an affair without ruining a marriage."
"We can do that, but we'll have to get Karl on board."
Rex and I talked for over an hour. His conference was well attended and the networking among the participants reaped benefits for his firm, he said. He confessed that his trade was changing more every day and for the first time, he felt that we was going to have to 'go back to school' to keep up with his competitors. If he knew that, then his superiors knew it also. He had to stay on top to be successful.
He said, "I like Karl's determination and zeal. He has lots of interests. Me, I only have two: my job and you."
Rex wondered perhaps that was why he was so smitten (his word, not mine) with me.
"You are my inspiration. My friends wondered who that lady was."
Rex dropped the bomb. "Chances are good that I will be coming back to your area on a regular basis, in about three months."
I said, "Karl was very uncomfortable, to say the least, about what happened last weekend."
I added that Karl had accepted some responsibility because he had encouraged our affair and done nothing to stop it."
I confided in Rex, "Karl promised that he was going to moderate his drinking, lose a little weight and be more responsive to my needs as a woman."
Rex persisted. "I know you love Karl, but you have needs he cannot fulfill. I knew that the first time I met you. Karl was very easy for us to persuade."
"Us?"
"Of course, US!" Rex was right, as usual. I had behaved like a slut in front of my husband, in that bar and in my home.
"My husband and I made a pact to have a date night once a week, where we would get dressed up, go out for dinner and a movie. Also, we are going to find some kind of social or sports activity: Yoga? Volleyball club? Ballroom dancing? We can be together more often."
Rex chuckled and said, "Why not do all three?"
Then came Rex's old bait and switch. "Next Sunday, I am flying to London, England for a meeting. I am in a powwow with British, German and American officials on Thursday and Friday. My company pays spouse's fare, so you could go along. I will arrange to fly you back to the States on Thursday."
Of course, there were strings attached. Transportation to and from Boston was not included. Rex had no objection, if Karl wanted to go. Rex could order Karl's transatlantic ticket, but Rex would have to be repaid in cash, as soon as we met in the airport in Boston.
The London suite would be similar to ours of last weekend. I was to make sure each of us had our possessions in separate bags.
Rex asked, "Did you and Karl have sex since we became sexual soul mates?"
I told him, "We slept in separate rooms Sunday night. I tried to seduce him Monday night, after our frank discussion. Karl refused to touch me. We got close Tuesday night and I was able to deep throat him. I had not been able to do that to you, Rex. I swallowed all of Karl's cum."
Rex surprised me by saying, "Good. I prefer you two have oral sex only, but that is not my decision."
Rex started to talk nasty, "Do you realize your cunt belonged to me now?"
I answered him. "That is a difficult decision and one that I am not willing to make right now: you will learn my decision when the time comes. End of discussion, Rex."
"You are just delaying the inevitable. We have been talking for over an hour already."
We were close to having our first argument, but he pressed on. I began to fold.
Rex made it clear, "I expect to be the only man who cums in your cunt. Put a condom on Karl when you let him fuck you, from now on. That is non-negotiable."
The call did not end well, because everything was just like before: up in the air.
"I will talk to Karl but I can't make any promises." That's how I left it.
Rex said he needed an answer about the Sunday flight by noon Thursday. "Just text me either way."
Thursday was an interesting day, romantically. Karl got home late Wednesday night. We stayed up and watched the British 'abbey' show on DVR. I was so ashamed to pretend the plot twists were new.
That Saturday night, in the hotel, Rex and I had been too AFO to have sex again. We ordered room service, cuddled and watched TV.
I had asked Karl to wait until we could watch the Special together, but Rex was interested, so we saw the season premier anyway.
Admittedly, I had missed some of the dialogue while explaining a few things to Rex; maybe, technically, I had not broken a promise?
At one point, the dowager in the show noticed a young lady coming down for breakfast, followed a moment later by a man (not her husband).
She whispered an apology, if grand mamma had been disturbed by a commotion last night. The cute wife explained that she was missing an earring and they were moving furniture to find the treasure.
The old lady told her that it must have been a valuable piece, because she heard three separate voices 'moving the furniture'.
"Never mind, child. We pay no attention to who sleeps with whom, as long as you come out of the correct bedroom for breakfast."
I let Karl sleep in Thursday. When I brought him his coffee and toast, I put a condom package on the tray. He jumped! I used Rex's verbal gymnastics to ask Karl if he would mind so much about Rex, if we came out of the right bedrooms for breakfast. He'd think about it.
"Did they have rubbers back then?" I asked.
Karl said he was sure they had been around for centuries, in one form or another. Seed planted.
Then I told him about Rex's phone call, Boston, London, air fares, the price we'd pay. Karl would have to share me with Rex. Karl could say NO and all would be over.
"Karl. I will abide by your decision, for the good of our marriage. I want to do this London thing and still love you, Karl. We can live together as man and wife. I will help you keep your promises on weight, drinking, and our social life together. We can have sex as often as you want it. I make no threats about taking another lover: it is Rex or nobody else. If you say no, it is finished."
I wrapped it up with my best shot at keeping a marriage and Rex.
"Being with another man started out as your fantasy and I learned to like it. Tell me a fantasy that we can turn into reality."
Karl said, "I don't know why, but the idea of you sleeping with another man turns me on. I would want to be in the room with you, watching you two. Can I join in?"
