The events of the previous chapters describe the recent experiences of my lovely husband and I. As a result of our new explorations, we are experiencing a renewed sense of excitement to our sex lives. It's like everything is new again.
About six months ago, we were guests at a dinner evening that was obviously a sex party, although at first I was not aware of this. When the hostess left the room and returned in a fishnet minidress, heels, a dog-collar and nothing else, my husband Dan turned to me and said, "We should probably leave."
Dan is a figure in the local business community and is involved in Republican politics, and I teach high school, so we can't really be involved in these kind of wild parties.
But on the way home, as we discussed the situation, my husband Dan and I learned a little more about each other.
During our lovemaking my husband has always seemed to enjoy hearing me describing myself having sex with other men, even his friends. He loves this form of teasing flirt. I always regarded it as a kind of harmless fantasy-play.
Now I was becoming aware that for my husband there was more to it than a dirty-talking kink.
As I mentioned before, I have a past. During my first marriage, I had an affair. A guy at my work, actually. At the time, I thought I could get away with it, that it was harmless "office sex". We were both married, after all.
Sean was very engaging. I was drawn to his intellect, and his natural ability to stir up a conversation. Over the course of several weeks, our relationship grew from just work friends and conversationalists to something deeper. When I talked, he listened. When he talked, it was with authority and confidence. He touched a part of me that I wasn't getting (in my marriage to my first husband) and I liked it.
I didn't even try to convince myself that nothing would happen. I thought I could take the risk, that I wouldn't be sacrificing my marriage. It was only thrill seeking. I was in love with my husband.
Not Dan -- I'm talking about my first husband.
Well after the brief encounter at the sex party -- the one we left early from - some themes started emerging during foreplay; about me having sex with friends of his and what it would be like. I shared with Dan part of my past and it proceeded into a lovemaking session of raging passion. I proceeded to tell him how Sean would find ways to meet me alone in the hallways at the office and cop a feel or take my hand and hold it against his erection. I liked it.
Things progressed. I was going out a lot to 'visits' and my unsuspecting husband was OK with this. One time we worked on a project for a whole Saturday and during a break, Sean pinned me against the wall with his body and kissed me hard.
