I want to tell you about Samantha. Her build is petite, her features like those of a pixie -- really cute -- and my pet name for her is "Tinkerbelle". "Belle" for short. She and I first met at an office party. There was no doubt about the mutual attraction, and that developed into romantic love when we were dating. We had the usual ups and downs -- you know -- fights and reconciliations. Finally, though, we agreed our relationship had what it takes to make the ultimate commitment to each other.
As newlyweds we remained very much in love, and I was in no doubt that would always be the case.
I kind of thought of myself as a switched-on modern guy so I wasn't out there expecting to find a virgin to marry; nor was it likely that I did. I couldn't be certain, because Belle and I had an unspoken agreement not to talk about previous sexual partners.
I learnt, after a few dates, that she wasn't shy about intimacy, or ignorant about sexual activity. So either she was very self-confident in her sexuality and well read on sexual techniques or she was carnally experienced before we met. The latter seemed fairly likely because we had no trouble with the obstacle of a hymen the first time.
I hardly gave her sexual history a thought while we dated. It began to obsess me after our wedding day. We had great sex together in marriage but I was always wondering if I was as good as the best of her previous copulatory partners. Did she, for example, still miss the erotic expertise of any of those men?
If that was not self-torture enough I began wondering if she had behaved differently in bed with other men. My own sexual tastes were quite refined; I'd never really gone in for fetishes.
Were there, I wondered, sex acts she had enjoyed performing with those other men that weren't in our repertoire with each other? Had she groaned in sexual pleasure with them in a different way than she did with me? Had she eagerly held herself open for their cocks?
There were so many intimate little things that I wanted just to be personal.
My angst ended up with Belle's premarital sex-life becoming unfinished business between us, even though I knew that was as crazy as her feeling the same way about my sexual past would have been. To raise one with her was to raise the other. On top of that, there would be the real torture of finding out the things she'd actually physically done with other men. What if they had involved acts I would not want her to have participated in or done?
Belle kept those sorts of secrets to herself. The more I obsessed about them though, the more I wanted to find out. I began reading porn stories on Literotica.Com about wives who, with and without the knowledge of their husbands, were unfaithful. I could not relate the stories to my own situation -- you know, put Belle in them as the cheating wife -- but they exercised a growing fascination for me.
In the darkest moments of my obsession I began to imagine Belle having sex behind my back with other men. I would torture myself with jealousy by picturing her doing it -- her body naked, her nipples standing out, the moisture of sexual arousal on her private parts, and another guy's cock sliding into her.
I had no reason to suspect her, and kept convincing myself it was unlikely to ever happen.
It was the website stories about wives being openly unfaithful that aroused me more than I expected. Could you even call it infidelity when the husband had consented or arranged it? There was no deceit by the wife, no unilateral breach of exclusivity. Not that the stories helped me accept how a husband could tolerate another man intimately sharing his wife, even if he wanted to watch.
The stress of not knowing what Belle might secretly yearn for got the better of me one night in bed.
"Samantha," I said as casually as I could, trying to sound like a man of the world, "have you ever thought about open marriage?"
She looked up from her book, searching my eyes for what lay behind the question. "Why would I?"
"I just wanted to know if you're content the way things are."
She looked mildly suspicious. "Aren't you?"
"Of course. You know how much I love you -- only you."
She gave me an adoring look. "I'm glad."
I hesitated. "You know I'll never want anyone but you." We were still staring at each other lovingly. "I just wanted you to know..." I swallowed nervously "...provided it's only casual..." my tongue started to have trouble getting the words out "...you know, if you wanted to ... wanted to have sex with other men occasionally..." her eyes were widening in disbelief "...I could maybe accept it."
"You're sick!" She turned away in disgust, and shook off my hand when I put it on her shoulder in an attempt at reconciliation.
I assumed then I was wrong about my fears, and about her having any interest in becoming like one of the wives in the porn stories I'd read. I felt so guilty!
"I'm sorry for what I said last night," I told her in the morning. I had been awake for an hour before she stirred, and was full of regret.
She seemed to accept my apology. "I thought about your question before I went to sleep." Her eyes drifted guiltily away from mine. "Then I had a dream..."
"A dream?"
"I was having casual sex with another guy, but it was all right because you allowed me to do that sort of thing with other men."
A lump filled my throat. I gulped. "It felt okay to you then?"
Belle looked thoughtful. "In the dream I was just doing it for the thrill. I knew I wanted to stay married to you."
"So you enjoyed it -- the sex?"
"Does that disgust you?"
"I'm just trying to understand."
She frowned slightly, as if choosing the right words, "I don't need the attention of other men -- you keep me satisfied..."
"But?"
"I can't help remembering from the dream how it felt to do it with someone else." The confession made her blush cutely.
"The sort of thrill you got with other guys before we met? Like, one-night-stands?"
"If I wasn't in a relationship."
I stared at her intently. "So coupling with different men is an adventure you'd like to experience again?"
"Only if you were understanding about it. It's not about conquest -- men are easy to seduce. It's more about how I used to feel whenever I let a new man touch me and I received him in my body."
"Received him?" I asked hoarsely.
"Letting a penis I'd never felt before slide up into my open vagina."
"And his semen too?" I was getting a hard-on in my pyjamas under the bedclothes.
"There's always a risk with that," she said in a tone that hardly hid that it was what she thought I wanted to hear.
"Did you take those risks?"
"Usually." Her eyes lowered.
"Why?"
"I guess they didn't matter as much as the simple joy of feeling a guy's cum squirt inside me -- knowing his penis isn't separated from the walls of my vagina by latex."
The flesh-to-flesh bit I could relate to from a male point of view.
Belle went on, "One guy I was in a relationship with used to like ejaculating when he was right at the entrance. Then he'd kneel between my legs and watch while I'd squeeze my labia together with my fingers and make his cum well up in the split."
"Sounds messy," I said to hide my emotional reaction.
Belle giggled. "It was rather. He'd shoot heaps and I loved the feel of it squishing between my fingers."
The revelation was more than I wanted to hear. The man in me, not the husband, asked, "Didn't it mat your pubic hair?"
"While I was with that guy I used to shave it all off," she told me casually.
"Totally bare?" I choked.
"He said seeing his cum in my split looked better that way."
"What else did you do for him?"
"Pretty much everything he wanted," she remembered, flushing.
"Like?"
"You don't want to know."
"I said I do."
"You really don't want to know." She rolled her eyes theatrically.
"Nothing you've done, or could ever do, would offend me, Tinkerbelle. There's nothing shameful about enjoying sex."
"Even when it gets kinky?"
"That's okay if you liked it." Horny, I really believed what I'd just said.
"There were things I used to like that you wouldn't want to hear about."
"They're part of who you are, so of course I would." Curiosity was torturing me.
"I didn't know I'd enjoy them until they happened... Like the time I was with my boyfriend -- the one who used to like to watch afterwards. Three of his male buddies dropped round while I was at his flat one night. David and I got a little drunk with them, and he said how much I liked what came out of men's balls..."
I asked with a dry throat and throbbing cock, "What happened?"
"David said I should milk them all off into a bowl then lap up their cream..."
"Did you?"
"The idea appealed to me -- you know, seeing their cocks stiff and then jerking them off one by one, but not the thought of drinking what I milked out of them."
The part she liked was sluttish enough, I thought ... but she was drunk at the time.
Belle went on, "I just undid their flies -- David's too -- and let their cocks stick out. It was kind of fun deliberately milking them into a bowl and seeing all the cum accumulating on the sides and pooling at the bottom -- and I got some of their sticky stuff over my fingers..." Belle's eyes were excited. "I tried to do each guy in a slightly different way, and the others shouted lewd encouragement."
"What happened then?"
Her stare wavered. "David had me strip down to my underwear. He put the bowl on the floor so I'd have to go on my hands and knees. He said, 'Now, Sammie-pussy, be a good pet and drink the fresh cream'."
"Did you?" I felt like my cock was in my throat.
