The Stand In
When I saw his car in front of our house I had to smile to myself as I pulled into our driveway and I tapped three times on the steering wheel. I had been gone for two weeks and I expected him to be there, and I wondered how long my friend had been there with my wife, Claire. We had been involved in a rather close relationship for over a year since a camping trip during the summer when it became more and more apparent that she was hot for my old buddy, wanted time in his sleeping bag, and was getting more and more frustrated at not being able to. Finally, one night after watching her go through agony over not being able to be with him, I caved in and sent her to his tent.
"It's clear you want to be with Jason," I said, putting my hand on her cheek. "You want to fuck our friend, so why don't you go ahead and go?" She sat for a minute, processing what I'd suggested, ruminating about her desire to be with another man, then she made up her mind and climbed out of her bag, slipping her panties off and crawling out of the tent. She turned back and looked at me through the opening and smiled. There was a thank you in her smile and I blew her a kiss for encouragement. She kissed in my direction and then disappeared into the night. I didn't see her again until nearly noon the next day.
I'd had some previous experience from another relationship of partner sharing so it wasn't a new concept for me. It was a pretty positive experience and I had actually enjoyed seeing my partner having sex with other people. It was very erotic, like watching porn, so I was pretty sure I wouldn't have a problem with seeing my wife having sex with someone else. So with Claire and Jason I was sure I'd like seeing it and sure I didn't mind her fucking him. The more I thought about it the more excited I became and the more certain I was that it was what I wanted.
After that we became very open with each other around the camp and they grew to be very casual about showing affection in front of me. She slept with him about half the time we were on that trip, sometimes coming out of his tent around noon. I wasn't having a problem with it and, in fact, I began to get aroused by what was happening. They openly kissed often throughout our time in the mountains and it actually turned me on to watch. Since then my wife has had sex with Jason maybe once or twice a month.
I had thought about monogamy for a while before I sent her to him, and I'd decided it was unnatural and old fashioned, and there was no good reason to be possessive just because you loved someone. After all, I loved her but I didn't own her. She liked things I didn't, enjoyed doing things I wasn't interested in doing, so why would I demand she only have pleasure with me. Sexual pleasure was still pleasure, and couldn't we let go enough to give the other person the freedom to enjoy themselves without guilt.
I pretty much knew he would be there while I was on a paddling trip to Fiji. I wondered where he slept as I walked through the back door, but I was pretty certain it was next to her wherever that was. When I walked through the house it was quiet and I found her reading in the family room. She was sitting with her legs under her in the leather chair wearing a shorty nightgown that was very thin and see-through. She was very relaxed and comfortable about being there with Jason while I was gone. It was around ten in the morning and she still had night clothes on. The possibilities seemed endless. She clearly was wearing no panties and I bent down and we kissed. She looked so sexy sitting there in her night clothes and I was sure my friend had been responsible for her still being dressed that way.
"Jason still asleep?" I asked. She nodded and put down her book.
"Where'd he sleep?" I asked, already knowing the answer but wanting to hear it from her."Next to me," she replied with an impish grin. I had expected that, of course. I'd had been surprised, in fact, had he not. They'd been having sex since the camping trip. I laughed and said, "Of course." I knew she enjoyed having sex with him, and it was certainly to be expected. I pictured it as I looked at her and grinned, imagining them together in my mind's eye making love like kids after the prom. It sent shivers shooting through me to imagine them together.
When he came into the room a few minutes later he was nude, which wasn't unusual around our house, and he went to her chair, bent over and they kissed without any hesitation, without an once of discomfort. His hand went between her legs and she turned, opening her legs to give him access to her pussy. As I watched him finger my wife, I smiled and sat down on the couch nodding my head at the two of them. While he fingered her they kissed and their tongues played together. I pictured them having sex in our bed, and watched them enjoying one another in the family room in front of me. I felt my heart rate increase as I watched and got more excited by the second.
"I'll take the guest room," I said, offering to let them continue to sleep together. She thanked me and smiled. I nodded my head and gestured in the direction of the room they had been sleeping in for nearly a week. It pleased me to be able to help them along in the direction they wanted to go.
"I love you, baby," she said as she stood up and reached out for his hand. Claire then led us all to the kitchen where we sat at the table and had lunch. We chatted and they sat together, glancing at one another as we ate, thinking of course what was ahead for them that night, the same thing they'd been doing since he arrived six days before. As I watched them I thought about their time together in his tent in the Sierras after I sent her to him. I remembered how exciting it was for me to see them together while we camped, watching their kisses and him fondling her bottom as we walked along the trail toward the waterfall where we would skinny dip in the large pool at the base of the falls. When we swam nude they would constantly be touching and being openly affectionate. It was, of course, one of the sexiest things I had ever seen and I told them it was.
At ten that night in the kitchen after we'd eaten, I watched them walk toward the bedroom holding hands again. "Anytime you want to take a trip in the future," he said. "I'll be your willing stand in," he added looking back at me over his shoulder.
"Goodnight," I said before they closed the door. They turned to look at me and she blew me a kiss. "Have a good time," I told them.
"We will try," she said, answering me with an enthusiastic grin, then closing the door.
I had accepted long before that night that I could enjoy her pleasure and be glad for her that she'd be able to have good sex with another man without me feeling insecure and hurt. I was happy I was able to do that, happy that I could accept her feelings for him without resenting them or being jealous. I had realized on the camping trip that I had wanted it for them all along. I had decided before that fateful night that if they didn't show an interest in each other that I would suggest it to them, that I would push them together eventually however I could manage it. I was happy, however, I didn't have to.
