Chapter 3: A New Direction
After our first episode at Lake Tahoe with Greg and the dynamic sex she'd had with me and her two new friends at their Annandale apartment a couple of months later, Amy seemed ready for anything. I'm not sure I could have dreamed up a hot, sexy situation Amy wouldn't be willing to try . . . at least if she was confident no one else would know about it. I'd wanted this, and now that I had it, everything seemed almost too good to be true. At home, in our bedroom, Amy was becoming even more of a sex-craving, sultry lover. Nothing was off-limits . . . nothing at all. But now, every so often, I'd get the sense that Amy was ready for another exciting outing and the possibility of having sex with someone else while I watched. I must confess, too, that I still got that way every time she did. My Amy would always be a discreet, loving wife to me, I knew, but there were just those times when both of us felt like wandering outside the lines a little. Our relationship was getting stronger and more loving along the way, too.
Amy loves to surprise me as much as I love to do it to her. The next step in the journey of exploring our relationship sure qualified as a "gotcha" from her standpoint.
I remember just the way it came up, too. We were driving down the road one beautiful Northern California early spring day, going somewhere I can't even remember and feeling really relaxed after having a "nooner". Out of the blue, Amy asked me if I ever fantasized about other women, and if so, what it was that I fantasized most about.
Without much hesitation - - since we had these "open lines" between us now - - I told her that, yes, I did sometimes fantasize about other women, but not in the way she might be thinking. The thing I fantasized the most about was wanting to watch Amy have sex with another woman . . . particularly Karin, her old college roommate from our days at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Of course, I'd already raised this subject before when we began opening up to each other, but I hadn't mentioned Karin. Amy listened quietly as I talked, but it didn't seem like what I'd said was much of a surprise or shock to her. In fact, she even seemed a little curious as I talked of how having another woman in bed with us would be a dream come true for me.
Karin is a year younger than we are, and had been a great friend of ours throughout our college days. She's brunette, around 5' 7", and has beautiful brown eyes and full lips. Her body was perfect . . . at least the way I remembered it. She was one of these women that would openly talk about sex and not feel embarrassed. Amy said: "Karin, huh? She was pretty hot, all right, but I haven't even spoken to her in a year. She lives near Sacramento and she's married now, you know."
Amy also told me that Karin's husband wasn't taking care of her the way he needed to. She knew I'd ask what that meant - - and I did - - but she wouldn't elaborate. Women claim they like to keep each other's secrets, but that's not really it. They just like to torment curious men.
Amy's response to my comment about Karin was interesting. She wasn't repulsed by my idea about Karin, apparently. She didn't come right out and say "OK, let's do it" to the idea, but then, she hadn't said "no", either. Instead, we talked a little more about Karin, but not in a sexual way, and then the subject just seemed to pass by the wayside.
Not many days passed after our conversation before Amy mentioned to me that she'd reserved a house on the beach for us the next weekend . . . a sort of "sex for the two of us weekend", she said. The weather wasn't warm enough yet to attract the droves of visitors that summer brought each year, so she was able to get a large, comfortable cabin right on the beach with a nice fireplace - - it may be the beach, but in northern California, it gets COLD at night on the beach. I wasn't busy then (which Amy already knew, I'm sure), so I told her it sounded like fun, and we made plans to go.
Amy made a wonderful dinner for me and the kids the night before we left, and the two-hour drive to the beach house passed quickly the next day. I was anxious to get Amy alone, without kids or neighbors around to interfere, so we could get down to some serious love-making. We enjoyed the day, just beachcombing, walking and talking, and the combination of the sea breeze and the freedom of being alone for a couple of days to enjoy each other was intoxicating. Though we hadn't made love yet, by the time the chill of sundown arrived, we were both well on our way to the kind of impassioned, consuming sex we knew we'd soon being enjoying with one another. Little sexy comments, glances and body language throughout the day, from both of us, had helped build things to what would soon become a crescendo of feelings and pleasures.
That evening, we plugged a video in the VCR. I'd brought along an older flick, called "9½ Weeks", along with a couple of porno flicks - - "just in case", I thought hopefully. Maybe Amy might even begin enjoying them one of these days, I thought, though she still claimed she'd rather make one than watch one.
Some of my friends had told me that their wives had gotten hotter than hell after watching "9½ Weeks", and it turns out they were right. So did Amy. About halfway through the movie, Amy said she was going to go in the bedroom and change into "something more comfortable", which I knew meant "something much more revealing". I thought that was a great idea.
Imagine the tremendous surprise I had when it was Karin, not Amy, who I saw walking out of our bedroom. Amy told me later that she peeked around the corner of the door as Karin walked out, and that I'd just sat there, with a stunned, "what's going on here" kind of look. Karin looked great, and wore just a short T-shirt, with a UNLV logo, and tiny animal print bikini panties. Her nipples were rock hard, and I could see them protruding through the thin cloth. "Hi, Tim," Karin said, "remember me?"
I was almost speechless. Finally, though, words began to come out again: "Karin . . . of course, I remember . . . what are you doing here?"
"Amy called me last week. I hadn't heard from her in a year, at least, but I was glad she called. We talked for a while about lots of little things, but I could tell that wasn't really why she'd called. We were always so close, and I knew there was something else, so I said 'OK, Ames [that's what she called Amy in college], what's up? I know you, and there's something you're not telling me . . . now, out with it.' And then she told me . . . and do you know what she told me?"
I remember thinking to myself: "Uh-oh, Amy told Karin what I'd said about her, and she's here, madder than hell, to kick my ass for even thinking something like that." Instead of saying that, though, I just said: "What'd she say?"
"Well, she told me about a conversation you had, and about a fantasy you've had, and about some wonderful changes in your relationship . . . I had no idea you were so considerate of Amy's needs, shall we say . . . and even less of an idea about how you felt towards me."
"Karin, don't get the wrong idea . . . you know us guys . . . we'll say anything when it comes to sex . . . don't get mad, please . . ."
"Mad? Tim, that's the hottest thing anyone's said about me in a long, long time. My husband sure hasn't said it, that's for sure. No, I'm not mad . . . but I am something else right now . . . I'm hornier than hell."
I'm ashamed to say that, for the moment, I'd forgotten completely about Amy not being there. Suddenly, I realized it, and said: "Where's Amy . . . does she know you're here?"
"Yes, I know, darling . . . I invited her," said Amy as she walked back into the room. She'd changed into a sexy lingerie set with thigh-high white stockings, a white lace garter belt and a tiny white, low-cut lacy bra that hid almost nothing. She had no panties on at all.
"Amy, I thought you said it was just going to be the two of us this weekend," I said, though I quickly wished I'd hadn't said it. What kind of an idiot would even think of saying something like that when two gorgeous women, wearing almost nothing, stood before him? Well, I did . . . but fortunately, it didn't matter to them. Their minds were apparently on other things.
"Actually, darling, what I said was that it was going to be a 'sex for the two of us weekend' . . . but I didn't say who 'the two of us' was . . . now did I?"
"No, baby, you didn't . . . but I just assumed that . . . well, you know . . ."
