I like the loving wives category but it can be difficult to come up with something different and the comments are often ruthless. I try to explore alternate realities or situations with angst.
I do spell and grammar checks and proof read but bound to miss some. If that bothers you too much maybe think about reading something else.
This one is going to get slaughtered, no revenge or retribution, just people with quirks. Please read the tags, the subject matter will no doubt send some readers apoplectic, don't read it if it's not your thing. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it, they are free and they are just stories.
Best Wishes, Satin.

Susan had been friends with Dianne for years; they met up at the gym twice a week and had coffee afterwards. Despite meeting so often they were never short of things to talk about. Much of that centred around family updates, including Susan's husband David and Diane's husband Russell. Susan noted a significant upturn in Diane's mood and demeanour; she was now far more positive than she had been in months, maybe even years. There was a period when their marriage seemed to be faltering.
Diane was 37; with an outgoing personality she was very direct and to the point. Tall and naturally athletic she took fitness seriously, in that regard Susan tagged along and kept in shape.
Susan was 35; she had long blonde wavy hair and blue eyes. Quieter than her friend, yet easily capable enough to hold her senior management position. Her style was professional, often involving pencil skirts and jackets worn with heels. On evenings out she made the most of her curves and cleavage, secretly enjoying the attention they often attracted. This was partly due to having few admirers when younger, other prettier girls always stole the attention. With limited experience before marriage she truly blossomed through her late 20's and early 30's.
Her husband of six years David was handsome and easy going. He was a calm and confident engineer, living in a world of logic and numbers. Their sex life was good... that was it, just good. At times Susan lamented her limited experience and the lack of variety and intensity. Actually 'good' was a stretch, lacklustre seemed to be the word that best described things.
Susan shared her woes with her best friend. In response Diane confessed her approach to keeping things interesting in the bedroom. She had taken a lover with her husband's approval! To say Susan was shocked was a gross understatement; this was her very normal friend, not some vamp or celebrity.
Diane tried to explain, "It's based on many women our age discovering an increased sex drive, and wanting to experiment and explore things."
"Well I can see why some women might enjoy that, but what about Russell, doesn't he object, it's so... outrageous."
"My Russell loves it, he is so supportive and I have never loved him more. It's a common male fantasy to see their wives desired. You might be surprised that David would probably like to see you admired by other men."
Susan sat there open mouthed, "I can't get my head around a husband actually approving of that!"
"Some even suggest it, for most it's just fantasy and it won't go further than a little flirting. Don't tell me David doesn't like to see you in sexy dress and stockings; but for others they can really get off on it. Don't judge too quickly, it's not for everyone but many 'normal' men like it."
Diane went on, "Listen David is a nice guy but he isn't pushing your buttons and you need to do something about it. Why don't you come over Thursday night; you can meet Marcus."
"Marcus?"
"Yes Marcus, he is my lover and a really nice guy; I am due a session with him on Thursday."
"A session?"
Diane laughed at Susan's increased pitch of questions, "Yes a session, as in a sex session. Just come along and meet him; if you're still interested we can help you talk to David about things if you like."
The conversation enthralled Susan, the excitement was undeniable and in some ways it was tempting. She did want to experience more but couldn't see that arrangement working for her and David.

Susan could think of little else, the topic prayed on her mind. She decided to go over on Thursday; there was no need to lie to David about where she was going, they often called into each other's houses.
Russell invited her in and introduced her to Marcus over drinks whilst Diane was finishing getting ready. The conversation was remarkably polite, he seemed like a decent guy and got on well with Russell. Diane swept into the room, she'd clearly made an effort and sat very close to Marcus. Susan noticed his arm move around her waist, Diane was totally focused on him; she was almost giddy with it.
Marcus smiled at Susan, "What about you Susan, would you ever consider a lover."
"No I am happily married, I... well I couldn't."
Diane responded, "Hey we're happily married as well! Russell is so supportive and we've never been closer or happier. It's the most energising thing we've done in our relationship."
"So do you two still have sex?"
"Of course, Russell I am not cutting him off, he loves to reclaim me and that's on a par with my time with Marcus; the emotions and intensity are off the map."
Marcus laughed at that, "Speaking of which, you need to be taken before you can be reclaimed, shall we go up?"
Dianne kissed Marcus passionately before responding, "Absolutely lover."
She turned to Susan who was still in shock, "We leave the door open for Russell, so feel free to check us out as well, it will help illustrate what is involved... and the benefits."
Susan was left with Russell, it was awkward for her but Russell seemed totally relaxed, "So what is your fantasy Susan. Don't you want to be ravished by a young fit and hung man?"
"I... well I don't know about that, doesn't it bother you?"
"Wait until you see Diane with Marcus, she is completely uninhibited. It can be edgy and difficult at times, but it's highly erotic and at the end of the day she always comes back to me."
Just as Susan thought the situation couldn't get any more surreal; their conversation was interrupted by the sounds of sex echoing down the stairs, Russell simply smiled.
"Wow it certainly sounds like Diane is having a good time. Ermm how long do they..."
"Usually all evening, Marcus can repeat and Diane has multiple orgasms. The honest truth is I can't match him, not even close. You must have noticed the change in her as well; she's happier, more confident? We have stopped arguing; she treats me much better these days and tells me how much she loves me."
