How did this happen? Not that I'm complaining. I'm about ready to step into the shower and get ready to spend the night with a man who I'd only met hours ago. But, I must go back to tell you how I got here.
My husband and I have been married almost 40 years. We were high school sweet hearts, married at an early age, and raised three wonderful children. Over the years our sex lives have undergone many twists and turns. As teens, we were so hot for each other and could not get enough sex. Early in our marriage, it was mostly the same. Then as we entered our late 40's things began to get a little mundane and stale. It was still always fun, but the unbridled excitement had lessened over the years. We dabbled in the swinging scene for a while, but that was always something my husband enjoyed more than I did. It was just ok for me. Usually, the guy would be someone I would not see out for a sexual encounter.
By the time I had entered my mid 50's, I had landed a high level job with a top marketing firm. Travel was a big part of my job, and I wound up traveling the country quite a bit. My husband always has had a fantasy of me meeting someone on one of my trips, and enjoying an evening of hot sex...making sure he got all the details. He has always encouraged me to play with other guys, and I had a permanent "hall pass", as long as I let him know in advance. I always considered it amusing, but on occasions, I must admit the whole thing did excite me some. He always enjoyed sharing me with another man during our swinging days, but this was different. This was an invitation for me to pick out my own guy and play alone.
This all kind of explains how I got here, ready to enter the shower. I'm here in Dallas, TX, staying at the Ritz Carlton for three days attending a marketing conference. I checked in a few hours ago, unpacked, and headed to check out the rest of the hotel. There was a very nice bar downstairs, and after a long day of travel I felt I could use a glass of wine. After getting my drink, I made my way to a section of tables. As I was about to seat myself, I noticed a man sitting alone in a corner booth.
I knew I recognized him. I did not know his name and had never met him, but I'd seen him at some of the other conferences. I made my way to his booth and asked if he was there for the conference. When he said he was, I introduced myself. He stood up, shook my hand, told me his name was Eric and invited me to join him. Eric looked to be about 40, very athletic, well dressed with a nice head of dark hair and a great tan. I told him I'd noticed him at some of the other conferences and he said he'd noticed me as well. That surprised me some. Although I'm still considered an attractive "mature" woman, I know I'm nowhere near the "looker" I had been years ago. Anyhow, I was somewhat flattered that he had remembered me. We nursed our drinks for a while and we very at ease talking with each other.
I discovered that Eric was 43 years old, had been married and divorced, and was very active and athletic. As we chatted, my mind drifted to the thought of my husbands fantasy. I thought to myself, IF I ever was to do it, Eric was the type of guy I'd go for. The Lounge area had a dance floor and a live band was playing that night. After about 20 minutes of talking, Eric asked me if I'd like to dance. Of course, I said...and I was glad I did. He was a great dancer. When he held me, I could also tell that he was serious about being active and athletic. His body was obviously strong and well conditioned...and he smelled nice too!
I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was the second glass of wine combined with the dancing, but after a while I opened up to Eric about my husbands fantasy. He laughed and said that if I were ever really serious about acting upon it, just let him know. His expression changed when I told him that I was serious and that I wanted him to be the guy. He game me a sly smile and asked what our next step should be. I think I surprised him when I told him I'd first have to let my husband know, and make sure that he still wanted me to go through with this. When he realized I was serious he said sure, go ahead. I couldn't believe I was about to go through with this.
I sent Brad a text message telling him about Eric and about what I was ready to do. As I hit the send button I wasn't sure what to expect as a response, but I did know that I was more excited than I had been in years. It took Brad a few minutes to respond. At first, I thought he didn't believe me, but after I took a pic of Eric and sent it to him, he knew this was for real. He told me I'd made a nice choice, then said it was fine with him as long as I kept him posted. Since he would not be there to watch, he thought keeping him updated would be the next best thing. I still had a hard time believing I was actually about to do this, but Brad's text and Eric's reassuring smile made me much more comfortable.
