[Thank you for clicking on this story. I hope you enjoy it. This is chapter 7 of a slow-building story about a couple discovering that he likes to see her exposed to other men and she enjoys being exposed...and more. If you like stories with exhibition, voyeurism, and a slow move towards "corrupting" the wife and cuckolding, you might like it. If you don't like those things, this isn't likely to be an enjoyable read for you.]
[Note for readers of past chapters—this is an asshole-free chapter with healthy non-monogamous play. The asshole will return next chapter, but there is a whole bunch going on here that you might enjoy, including a bunch of firsts for Jess.]
[Jess]
When Chuy rode off without talking to me, I went home and cried. And texted. And cried. And wrote a long letter to him about what a horrible person I was and how I didn't deserve him and how he should move on and I'm sorry I ruined his life and if I could do it all over again, I would and please forgive me but don't because I don't deserve it and I'll call my sister and move in with her and I won't challenge the divorce because I deserve it and please forgive me and I'm sorry.
And I threw it away.
What was wrong with me? The moment the asshole grabbed me, all the teasing from the balcony became an irresistible need, and the second his hand hit my ass, my brain screamed
Daddy
. All of my resistance was a game to get him to do more. I wanted Daddy to take me. It was so fucked up. I have Chuy, and I certainly don't need or want some fucking asshole
Daddy
spanking me. But fuck, I was so turned on. And when Chuy finally said "no oral," I just looked at Daddy to see what he wanted. I couldn't even look back at Chuy. I knew. I fucking knew it was wrong. And that fucking made it so much hotter. I knew when I snaked a hand under Daddy's running shorts that having that flimsy nylon between my tongue and Daddy's cock didn't change anything. But I pulled on the waistband of his briefs with one hand while holding the waistband of those running shorts so I could have an excuse while I still tasted him. And I did taste him. God, I loved that. He was sweating from almost dying on the hill, which just made him taste more masculine. I could feel the veins on his cock through the fabric. And when the tip of his cock poked up past the waistband, I eagerly let it brush against my lips as he came. And in my mind, we were going to fuck next.
Fuck. How could I have been such a fucking whore? Such a fucking idiot? So fucking immoral. I never judged women for sleeping around, but cheating? That's vile.
I was not good at being wrong. I completely lied to my therapist until this happened, at which point I stopped seeing my therapist for months because I couldn't bear to reveal that my problems were fundamentally my fault and not just "the challenges of being a woman in the modern world." The therapist I had until she told me that my relationship with Mike didn't sound healthy (she was correct, incidentally) helped me work through my certainty that any grade less than an A on any project was a profound and unrecoverable error. The therapist I eventually replaced her with was fantastic with helping me stop crying over minor setbacks on work projects. Without her, I would never have been able to negotiate the deal I have with Cicletta which accepts I never work after 5:30 pm or on weekends because I'm so fucking good at my job and can delegate to people I train to be fucking brilliant. My therapist told me last fall that she's in awe of me, and she wasn't gassing me up. So how the fuck do I tell her I just fucked up my perfect life by betraying my husband?
My whole life has been structured to avoid having to be wrong about anything. And then Chuy draws a clear, distinct line and I pretend that if I put a flimsy piece of fabric between the asshole's cock and my mouth, it counts as "no oral."
Obviously, step one would be to place an emergency call to my therapist or one of my girlfriends. Fuck step one. Step two was writing the letter. Fuck step two. Step three should be figuring out why I did it. Why I've spent the past couple of weeks of pushing the limits and asking for permission afterwards. Obviously, it ties to Mike somehow. Mike was an asshole who didn't even like anything about me other than he could fuck me and I let him fuck me until he cheated on me.
Three times.
Yep, three times, and the first two times, I blamed myself. So sympathy for Jess tally—one point for a bad boyfriend. Obviously, that justifies cheating years later.
Maybe it's genetic. I've never been able to admit to anyone how much I masturbate and how often I want sex. The last year of college, we had a campus wide lock down due to a shooter event nowhere near me. My roommates were away on a road trip and I had nothing to do, so I masturbated for two days without interruption except for sleep. I joke with my girlfriends about how horny I am, but I could never tell them anything close to reality. So sympathy point number two for Jess—she's too horny to stop. I'm sure that will play well in divorce court.
Fuck figuring this out. Time to move on to step four: accept that if I'm put in that position again, I'm going to do what Daddy wants and never be in that position again. Astute readers will guess step four wasn't going to cut it. I could not live with step five, so I won't even contemplate it. Maybe if I cry enough, Chuy will just forgive me as, I don't know, step zero? Mike didn't even have to cry for me to forgive him twice, but Chuy is the most together person I've ever known. Odds on step zero succeeding have a steep multiple against.
Chuy came home. It was almost 10 pm and the first words out of his mouth were, "I saw otters on the path."
A lot of words came out of both of our mouths after that. Honest words, caring words.
At one point, after I blathered on, half crying, about how terrible I felt and how he could divorce me if he wanted to, he took both of my hands in his and said, "Jess, before this started, we said this was something
we
were doing and
we
would deal with our feelings if they were hard.
We
doesn't include divorce.
We
means we both sort out what we want, figure out what our real boundaries are, and if they're different work out what that means in practice.
We
forgive ourselves and each other. Because if we don't, this cost
me
more than I want to pay, and I think you, too."
I sat in his lap and wrapped my arms around him, crying. How could I have earned having this perfect of a man in my life?
It wasn't until Chuy was telling me about his conflicted feelings, how much he wanted me to go even further but was terrified it had gone so far that I realized the practical part of sorting out what
we
wanted relied on me knowing what
I
wanted and I didn't. It also relied on Chuy knowing what
he
wanted, and he didn't. We both wanted the barbecue night back—that carefree sexual exploration where we each learned about new desires. We wanted that pool day again. But we knew we couldn't go back to that. It wouldn't work, no matter how much we wanted it, because the asshole was different now.
