My husband and I have been married for a dozen years. We both had our pasts and I have always been content to forget mine and move on. Al is not so disposed. He wallows in his past like a pig in mud and seems to derive some kind of voyeuristic pleasure from having me recount my premarital sexual exploits. While I have been devote and totally committed to him, content to “forsake all others” his male eye wanders both in real life and on the internet.
I am able to handle all of the above because I consider it “a guy thing” because several of my friends at work have similar problems. He is not content to let it end there. He thinks that after a decade of marriage, or sex life needs to be spiced up. I’m not sure if it is because he feels guilty for lusting after all the women in his life, or if it is deeper than that, but he wants to see me with another man. Hell if he had his way it would likely end in a gang bang. While many women would likely be thankful for the “blank check” to fuck whomever they wish, as strange as it may seem, I am just not interested.
I work nights as a Registered Nurse. Several years ago, the unit was almost exclusively female, but over the years more and more men have entered the nursing profession and now there is always at least one male nurse on each shift. Sure, a good number of them are gay and fit right in with us girls, but not all of them. You would be surprised at the things RN’s talk about at work when things get slow. A good deal of the time, the conversation turns to sex. Sometimes it is sex in general and other times it can get quite personal, anything from sex toys to problems in bed with hubbie.
John was a one in a million male nurse. First and foremost, he was good with the patients. He kept his head in a crisis, knew his stuff and was a great asset on the unit. Second, he was very good looking. His pale blue scrubs made his sandy brown hair and blue eyes stand out. He was 6’3” and carried it very well. His hands were strong, but gentle. He always brightens up the shift whenever he worked. He was the kind of guy that I would have gone for if I were single. The only bad thing about John was that he was a travel nurse, which meant that his contract would be up in a week or so and he would return to the Midwest, never to be seen again.
As I said before, the talk at the nurses’ station normally turns to sex sooner or later. We don’t watch ourselves too much when a gay male nurse is around, but when the straight guys are working; we tend to tone it down a bit. I don’t know if it was because we all liked John and he was leaving or exactly why, but one night we continued our banter even with John within earshot.
Normally I don’t say much, but this night when Susie started talking about her hubbie wanting to see her give a blow job to another guy, I had to chime in “what is that all about? Al is the same way with me!” Half of the married nurses gave a knowing smile, the other half starred in disbelief, while the single nurses blushed.
John, never one to butt in uninvited, uncharacteristically made a comment. “If I were married to you, I would want you all to myself.” For the first time in several years I felt kind of warm inside. It kind of got me thinking to myself. That’s the way it should be. You know there is an old saying “be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.” Maybe it was time for hubbie to have a little taste of what he had been wishing for.
Later that night John approached me. “I hope you don’t misunderstand what I said earlier.” He said quietly.
Oh, I had understood alright. “John, you know, I’ve really enjoyed working with you, and I am a little sorry you have to leave. You have been so helpful around here; maybe you could help me with another little problem.”
My blush must have revealed my inner thoughts because John said “And by little problem, you don’t mean Mrs. Smith in 319, do you?” He grinned a little. He was on to me, but he was giving me a way out, what a gentleman he is.
I could have taken the back door out, but this seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity. All the pieces were in the right place. I liked John, and he would not be around to complicate things after. No, it was now or never. I pulled him into an empty patient room and disclosed my plan to him.
I surprised my hubbie the next day with the invitation to get dressed up and go out. There was a new club that had opened up and he had wanted to go for the longest. I suggested we check it out, and he jumped at the chance. I sent him off to work with the promise of a good time together. I promptly called Susie from work and arraigned for a day at the mall.
We spent most of the morning buying everything from panties to earrings, plus a haircut, manicure and a makeover. I had almost forgotten how much fun a day at the mall could be. Somehow I had allowed myself to just buy what I need to replace and had lost touch with the “total new look” I used to give myself every couple of years. Al was right, married life did need some spicing up, more shopping, more often!
Al came home right on time. I met him at the door and his eyes popped out of his head. It had been a long time since he had given me “that look.” I think he would have fucked me on the kitchen table or the hallway floor if I had given him half a chance. I suggested that he take a quick shower to freshen up before we went out. He got dressed in flash and I could tell that he had taken extra time in doing his hair. We made quite a sharp looking couple as we walked out the door together.
He took me out to a 5 star restaurant, and unlike most times, he didn’t even mention the prices on the menu. It was almost like being on a first date again. I knew what he was up to. He was pulling out all stops in an attempt to make sure he got laid tonight. We left the restaurant and headed towards home.
“Honey, I had such a good time tonight, I don’t want it to end, can we go out for a few drinks.” I knew he wanted to get home and get naked, I could see it in his eyes. I could tell by the way he drove. There was no doubt, but it was not to be. Not tonight. I had laid my plan and the evening would not end without its implementation.
“Were do you want to go? He asked.
“Let’s go to the church key” I suggested. The church key was an old church that had been converted to a dance club. It was kind of irreverent, but it was a very popular place with the younger crowd and known as a meat market for 20 some-things. At 33, we were perhaps older than most there, but it helped me to feel like I was still young. Besides, I looked 24 tonight and more than that John was to show up at the church key at 9:30 pm.
It was just before 8:30pm when we finally found a parking space. We paid the cover charge and entered into the historic building. The lights were dim, the smoke thick and the music loud. We had not been out like this in a few years. The dances were different and the music seemed to pulse more than I remembered.
“Is this ok?” Al said.
