It's a true testament to the communication and trust in our marriage when I can ask my husband, Mark, about his friend's dick and he only lifts an eyebrow in surprise.
"I know you're friendly and all," he commented after a pause and a smirk, "but I thought you only lusted after me. When did that change?"
I shifted on the barstool in our cozy living room and picked at my breakfast. "Oh, baby, you know I lust after you and love you more than anything, but..." I wondered if I should have simply left my curiosity alone instead of blurting out the question. I'd always made a point to keep things in the open, especially in my marriage. When things aren't honest, the extra stress can be a real strain, and I learned how
not
to act from watching my parents self-destruct.
"But?" He cupped my ass cheek after giving it a light spank, picking it up slightly off the stool—his way of encouraging me. Mark really is wonderful; his playful and loving manner never fails to bring out the best in me.
"Well, I caught a glimpse of Jared's wanger last Saturday when I accidentally walking in on him in the bathroom. You know we all had more alcohol than barbeque." I grinned, keeping it light-hearted. "What little I saw wasn't so little."
My husband laughed, so I pressed on with a shrug. "Just one of those passing thoughts that worms its way inside your head. You guys were roommates forever, so you have to know how he, um...is like. You know, can he use that thing?"
He quirked his eyebrow again in that charming fashion. "Now, Angie, curiosity killed the cat, so they say."
"So
they
say," I sassed, staring up at him and gauging his reaction. I was ready to back off at the first signs of distress.
"Well truthfully, Jared's always had a way, though he seems pretty callous now. He wasn't like that in school, though—I'm guessing it's an aging-and-single thing." Mark went around the bar to get the plate of eggs, bacon and grits I had made for him before settling down beside me. "You're like one of the guys," he teased, "so I can tell you this: he's made a few girls grin foolishly and walk bowlegged after they've been with him."
"Hmph. And I suppose you have to take his word for it."
Mark threw back his head. "Hah! The scoundrel actually hit on my secretary several months ago and had a fling with her."
"That tiny thing? What a brute!" I did my best impression of a scandalized old maid.
"Yeah, and she's eight years younger. One time she had 'lunch' with him and came back kind of wobbling, so I'm sure he still has it." Mark slouched and he gaze went through the far wall and back through time. "He dated this one vixen during our sophomore and junior years, and I swear they did it every chance they got, which embarrassed the hell out of me."
"I just can't picture you embarrassed."
"Oh, I'm afraid I actually tiptoed around them when they got like that." He grinned at the distant memory. "They would tease me mercilessly—she'd show me flashes of skin sometimes, asking me things like how I could stand being single. Jared would often spank her ass around me, and they'd fondle each other as if they didn't get enough when I wasn't around or when I'd shut myself in my room."
"You poor thing," I said with a pout of empathy and a trailed fingertip over his crotch that brought his gaze back to the present and to me.
"Yeah. Seriously mistreated. And this one time..." It took me a few seconds to realize he was gauging my interest, perhaps wondering if he should just leave it alone.
"What? Tell me."
"You sure you want to hear this?"
"Stop teasing me. What?"
"Well, one time I walked into the apartment...and they were fucking right there on the living room couch. In plain view of the front door!"
"Jesus! What'd you do?"
"I made a beeline for my room, of course, with my head down. But they both called to me. Shannon said something like, 'Mark, come look at this—come watch.' What twenty-year-old wouldn't be curious? So I let them talk me into coming close."
"Wow!"
"Wow is right. Shannon had this athletic figure, and when she saw me hesitate and turn, she kicked her performance into high gear. She was riding him, bouncing up and down like he was a pogo stick. As I took those wary steps, I could see her pussy was shaved, all red and swollen, and she had him quite slicked up."
My husband paused for a breath, still watching my reactions. "She spread herself with her fingers so I could see his dick pull at her skin as it pumped inside her. The horny wench rubbed herself and then wanted me to touch it while she came—hah—that was too much for me. I mumbled, 'You guys are nuts' and bolted from the apartment."
He chuckled and favored me with a wink. "Much later, I became convinced I had missed out on an opportunity, if you know what I mean. There. Curiosity satisfied?"
"Umm." This time the squirming on my seat had little to do with embarrassment.
"If we could afford to be late for work, I'd take advantage of your overactive imagination."
"We might never
get
to work."
"While I certainly don't want Jared making my precious wife walk bowlegged," Mark summed up his thoughts with another smirk, "the punk deserves all the teasing we can give him. Payback would be sweet."
By some unspoken mutual agreement, we continued into our normal get-ready-for-work pattern, yet the kiss I gave him at the door seemed to hold more sizzle than normal. Though he didn't mention it, my husband's boyish grin and dancing eyes said it all. His final response in that irregular breakfast conversation had been provocative. I had danced close to the fire, and so had he, like a perfect dance partner.
I finished getting ready for work and channeled my confused excitement into the day's events. With two scheduled house showings, I had little time for fancies, much less for the release I craved. My pink rocket would have to stay in its drawer.
Both of my showings went well, the clients were qualified buyers, and since the economy seemed to be doing better, chances were decent that I'd close on one of them. The four grand of commission would be a nice boost after a string of months of making less than a thousand. I considered rewarding myself with a trip to the store; Mark and I had plenty of wine, but we could use a steamy new video, and maybe I'd browse for a new sex toy.
As if thinking about him prompted the call, he showed up on my caller ID. "Hey, baby," I answered as I eased through the early evening work traffic.
"Hope you're still as horny as you were this morning."
"Maybe." I drawled out the word so there'd be no doubt. "Have anything that might help?"
"You know," he said, and I could hear his grin. "Been thinking about you all day, Angie. Come meet me at the Fox and Hound for happy hour and some pool."
"I was hoping to pick us up a naughty movie and make the most of the evening." I could hear the pout in my own voice.
My husband chuckled. "This'll be better," he promised.
The Fox and Hound near our place was always rowdy. Playing pool was clearly a minor activity, an excuse to hang with friends and party. As I entered and scanned the green side, I saw my husband had already reserved a table and was sipping from a glass of dark beer. And there, bent over the table lining up a shot, was Jared.
So Mark had been dwelling on our morning conversation even more than I had, it seemed. Was he serious about wanting to get revenge? Or had they decided to turn the tables and tease me? These questions crossed my mind in the time it took me to make eye contact with my husband and arch an eyebrow. As I walked toward them, I decided to play it like I'd never mentioned Jared's dick, to roll with it and see what Mark had up his sleeve. Curiosity always makes life more interesting.
"Hey, you rascals," I greeted my husband, sparing a grin for Jared as I received my quick hug.
Mark brushed my ass while answering in a playful tone: "Hello, sexy. Have a good day?" I nodded, giving him a peck on the lips and accepting the beer he had been drinking.
"You sure know how to make business clothes look fine," Jared agreed, placing an arm on my shoulder to squeeze me in a friendly half-hug.
I shrugged off the compliment, deflecting the flush that threatened to color my face by saying, "The mood you boys are in, I'm glad I'm here to keep you out of trouble." Taking a test sip, I confirmed the cool amber liquid was a Sam Adams, one of the few beers I found palatable.
"We're not fooled by those large, innocent-looking eyes," my husband teased and took his shot. The four-ball refused to go where he wanted it. "You might get us
in
trouble."
Jared laughed. "Keep him distracted and I'm guaranteed a win."
I shocked myself by asking: "And what's in it for me?"
"Fine," he responded, smirking and moving to take his shot. "Be that way. But see if I show you any mercy when we play cutthroat."
