I'm Eddie, my wife Lana and I have been happily married for 8 years - which is why I was completely floored by the question she asked me last week. She had just gone to lunch with her best friend from college, Deb.
Deb had been a true knock-out, a strikingly beautiful blonde with a firm body that she kept in shape by playing 1-A singles in tennis for North Carolina, our alma matter. She was also a bitch who never paid me much attention until Lana and I started dating, and even then she wasn't exactly what you would call "warm." She always dated other good-looking, snobbish athletes who ignored me and all of my friends.
Deb had the hottest looking mouth I'd ever seen - full lips and a smile that showed what seemed like more than the normal amount of gleaming white teeth. On many occasions as I sat pissed-off over some prima-donna move she pulled when we were out in a group, I'd just imagine her giving me the most glorious and thorough blow-job of all time, a highly successful tactic in making her more tolerable.
Tragedy struck Deb in the winter of our senior year. She was in a car that lost control on an icy road and she ended up in a wheelchair. Although it didn't take much away from her attitude, it certainly took away from her social life. Sure, her friends (like Lana, and therefore me) stayed by her side, but she never received anywhere near the same attention from guys.
By the end of senior year she started dating a guy named Tom. He was a good guy but quiet and never seemed to add much to the group. Even though the four of us spent some time together from then on, Tom and I never hung out just the two of us. In fact, I was only friendly with him on account of Lana and Deb's friendship. Shortly after graduation, Deb and Tom got married. A year later, Lana and I followed suit.
So, as I was saying, Lana got back from lunch with Deb last week and immediately I could tell something was up.
"I have a favor to ask," she said, "and I don't want you to get mad."
"Well, that's like the kiss of death, saying that. No promises."
Lana sighed. "Deb and Tom are having a tough time," she said. "And Deb thinks it's because of their sex life."
Being that Deb was paralyzed from the waist down, I had always wondered what they did for sex and whether or not it was enjoyable. "Just out of curiosity, what is their sex life?" I asked.
"Well, they can have sex," she said, "It's just hard for Deb, she gets more enjoyment out of seeing Tom enjoy it. And I guess lately nobody's been enjoying anything."
"So what's the favor?" I asked. As I said before, I could not have been more shocked by what my beautiful, loving wife said to me in reply.
"Well, we think it would be a good idea," my wife started to say, eyes on the floor, "if I... had sex with Tom..."
"WHAT?!?" I screamed. I had not yelled that loud at my wife in all the time I'd known her. "Who's 'we'?!?"
"Deb and me. Look, Eddie, it would just be one time..."
"NO!!!"
"...and it's not like I love him or want him, it's just that"
"JUST WHAT?!?"
"...well, you know... this is so embarrassing... it would really help out their marriage..."
"How in the hell would this help their marriage?"
"Eddie, please!" she said, "They love each other. They really do. They talk about their problem all the time; it's so upsetting to them. They're great friends but they just don't have that spark anymore. This would help them get some excitement back."
"BULLSHIT!!! Did Deb put you up to this or is Tom behind it?"
"Tom doesn't know anything about it. We agreed on this together. Look, Deb even said she'd... take care of you too... if you agreed."
I was about to yell out something in response until my brain processed that last bit of information. My wife's request aside, I thought about all the times I wanted to make Deb blow me in college to shut her up. I started to actually consider this.
"So this doesn't have anything to do with us?" I asked.
"No Eddie! Absolutely not! I love you so much. I would never cheat on you, you know that. This is just helping out two people who are very special to me."
"I don't know. I'll have to think about this." I said.
That day was torture for me. My thoughts were all over the place. I recalled a memory from one night at a college party. One of my friends was really drunk and came up to me and pointed at Lana and said, "I have never seen an ass that small on a woman with tits that big." And it was true, too. My wife is fabulously well endowed - the best comparison is to the British model Lucy Pinder.
So anyway, no sooner had my friend said that then I called to Lana across the room. I asked her to show us her tits. She smiled and walked over to us sexily. Lana stood before us and started to lift up her shirt - getting it up high enough so we could see a few inches of her bra - before abruptly pulling it back down, saying "no chance."
I remember I was instantly turned on, but it was because I had wanted my buddy to see her tits - I remember thinking I would tell him to touch them too. Do I like the thought of sharing my wife? My head was swimming now with mixed emotions. Our life could be totally different if we did something like this.
By the time we were lying in bed that night, I still had not made a decision. I wanted to know the ground rules.
"So this would only be a one time deal, right?" I said.
