Over a month had drifted by & he has been quiet on the social front, still unsure if he was back in my good books after all he had done I suspect. Towards the end of the weeks he got unsettled & I wait for some sort of tryst to be proposed but no. It was Thursday & another weekend was approaching. Would he let it go by? Dinner over & we sat opposite at the table in silence, each lost in our own thoughts & feelings. It was time to clear the air.
"We can't turn the clock back & just pretend the past few of weeks didn't happen."
"No."
"I am prepared to forgive anything that has happened in the past, put it all behind us so we can start a new."
He looked up.
"I think we have a much greater understanding of each other now so there is little to be gained by looking back, it would only cause hurt & maybe split us up. I don't want that."
He was nodding the whole time relieved as much as in agreement as he was being let off the hook entirely for his passed indiscretions, of which I am sure I have only scratched the surface.
"Happy with that?"
He gave me a great big smile. Of course he was & fell over himself assuring me.
"Where do we go from here?"
He frowned.
"We could look upon what has gone on as a social experiment & move on. We are not committed to anyone or anything so can turn away from it. There is only Tim at work. That might be a bit awkward for you but I sure it would soon pass. Now is the time before it becomes complicated."
His face said it all, he didn't want it to stop. I had put my point of view so waited.
"Couldn't we just keep 1 or 2?"
"Who?"
He shrugged.
"There is only Jeanette & Tim that we have had anything much to do with & well, you two haven't exactly hit it off. There is nothing to be gained by staying involved if we aren't enjoying it. They are not our age, nor were the ones at the party. Not that I'm complaining but it would have been nicer if there were some more like us."
He still looked resigned but I imagined the issue was far from settled. He was thinking.
"There are contact groups on the Net."
"You have seen them no doubt?"
He blushed.
"What are the dangers? At least we knew Jeanette & Tim so could rely on their contacts, but complete strangers?"
He didn't want to think about that side of it.
"Not if we are careful."
"What are you suggesting?"
"We meet them first, get to know them before we get involved. The Site says you should do this, meet in public, a restaurant or Bar, that way we would have an escape route."
His eyes were pleading. I didn't dare look at them knowing he would get his way. I didn't really object to the idea, in fact I was starting to warm to it. It was just the way he had gone about it so far. When I said I was prepared to consider it I had only intended going with 3 or 4, just to see what it was like, if I could still feel the difference & if it still mattered. There was & it did. Every one was different, not the size & shape so much, but in the way they made love to me. With masturbating I was in control & could climax if I wanted to or not. That's why I was so careful choosing who I would give my virginity to & made sure the first time was special, that there was time & a proper place to let it be its best. It was & I really enjoyed it. Even though I didn't climax that first time, I felt its presence & was sure with & bit of planning I would. I bled. I was so pleased & proud. He did know I was a virgin so it was special to be able to surprise him. I climaxed on our 3rd time together & that started it. I wanted to see if I could climax with others & as it turned out, I could, nearly all of them, if not the first time, then the second or third. I never expected to build up such a tally & it was only Brett who really stopped me. I was looking for someone, he was it as it turned out but I continued to pass the time with them until we got together. If it hadn't have been for him who knows how many I would have got to by now. Here was the chance to continue on where I left off. Do I want it?
I could feel his eyes burning into me. Nan had said I should never get a reputation, I would just get used, no man would want or respect me. I had been so smug, so sure I had missed all of that, passed under the radar, little knowing that was exactly what had happened to me. Not that I was ever 'used', not as far as I was concerned. There were always plenty willing to go with me so I got to pick & choose. There had only been a half dozen 'one night stands' the rest had lasted a bit longer & I had always been the one who moved on much to their disappointment usually. I couldn't see it had done me any real harm. Were I male I would have been a 'stud' but society treats girls like me differently. So did he expected me to be unfaithful, have affairs during our marriage? To be honest, until this came along & hadn't given it a thought. He is a good lover as far as I am concern, willing, considerate, patient & adventurous so my needs have always been met & often exceeded. I can't think of a reason & would have every needed to start looking round again.
Jeanette had caught me by surprise. Not her so much, but being with her. It goes on, of course I knew that, but never imagined I would get involved. I was a Man's Woman, at least that is what I had thought up until recently. I'm not so sure anymore. If I am honest with myself, that was the highlight of the evening for me & last time, well, that was something I never could have imagined & yet it didn't seem at all foreign or uncomfortable. It was a whole new world of experiences to enjoy. It certainly was out in the open & seemed to be a part of the lifestyle, most of the women seemed to be partial to 'a bit of the other' with one of their own. It was all very new, but interested me just the same & I'm sure I have only seen the tip of the iceberg. He was staring, dying to know what was going around inside my head.
"I suppose it can't do any harm to have a look?"
He almost ran to get his lap top. I got quite a shock as to how many there were. He put in a 100km radius from our suburb & there were pages & pages. Seems everyone is looking. Nearly all the women had their "bits" on display & by the look of them, many were taken without their knowledge too, many showing faces which surprised me & I'm sure one of them works at the Hairdressing Salon down stairs from my office! There were some erections, very impressive, one single offering his services to couples & further through there were women doing the same. That aroused my curiosity!
"Where do we start?"
"So you are still interested?"
"I'm prepared to look."
He spent the rest of the evening trawling. Most had something which was off putting, at least as far as he was concerned, but what did interest me were the numbers which advertised 'She Bi', something I haven't finished with yet. I didn't see any 'He Bi', 1 or 2 were 'Both Bi' but I wasn't sure he was into that & not prepared to risk anything at this early stage by asking. I ended up heading off to bed & leaving him to it. He was the same again Friday night while I watch TV.
"Anything?"
He shook his head & was looking very dejected.
Saturday morning he was at it again while I got our Breakfast, getting more & more despondent. I wasn't sure what he was expecting. He'd had me exchanged a few times before we started down this track, surely with such a choice it should be easy. I decided to try & lift his spirits looking over his shoulder from time to time in passing as he flicked through them, faces, hundreds & hundreds of faces, vaginas & erections. As I put his coffee down something caught my eye.
"Stop!"
He did eventually.
"Go back?"
Profile by profile. I was starting to think I had imagined it he had gone so far past.
"Stop!"
I hadn't.
"What about them?"
They were just a very ordinary 'couple next door'. She was quite pretty, but it was him, something I could put my finger on. Just an attraction. In my wayward days he would have definitely have been given it.
"Where do they live?"
"Not far. About half an hour."
"Older than us?"
"Younger."
"Younger?"
"21 & 19 according to this."
"Any other pictures?"
"1 or 2."
There were a couple of passports, their wedding photo & a nude full frontal standing side by side holding hands. She had a rounder figure than me with medium size tits & was shaven or waxed. He didn't have an erection so it was hard to tell.
"What do you think?"
He shrugged.
"If you want to go down this track we have to start somewhere. Why not them?"
He shrugged again.
"If you are going to be fussy forget it! I'm not going along with this. Shut it down & go do something useful."
A look of panic came over his face as & walked over & started the dishes.
"Darling?"
I ignored him & carried on.
"Darling?"
"Don't you Darling me, it won't get you anywhere."
"Can't we talk about it?"
"We have & I have said I'm prepared to go along with it, it is you who is stopping it going any further. I don't want to have anymore to do with it. You had your chance & you blew it!"
I wasn't angry, just fed up with him. It was all about him, not me, even though he needed my vagina to get in more than his cock.
"I'm sorry."
"You should be. If you haven't got the message by now I'm getting sick of all this."
Now that it has come to the crunch I realised that I wanted it too, wanted this lifestyle. I had to be careful not to bite off my nose to spite my face. I tried to appear to be doing him a favour.
"Do you want me to do it, find someone?"
He got all po-faced.
"What is wrong with her? She is bound to have a vagina to stick your cock in."
He good at the profile again.
