Mark:
There is a case to make that far from cuckolding being a threat to marriage, cuckolding actually enhances a marriage. Yes, giving your wife sexual freedom can be quite risky. There is always the chance that she will fall in love with her lover and want to leave the marital home and be with him. It does happen and will continue to happen but the majority of marital relationships last.
What helps strengthen the relationship is the fact that from the man's point of view, there is no room for taking your wife for granted. It had been a long since I had last bought Jane some flowers and chocolates but I made a special point of doing it that Sunday. I may not have been the man that Alex was sexually but I could make up for it in other ways.
I also made a point of doing my fair share of the Sunday lunch preparation and the clearing up afterwards. Normally I left it to Jane, preferring to read the papers instead. Jane noticed the change immediately. "I will have to have Alex over more often." She joked.
After dinner and with the girls settled Jane and I sat down and talked about our new lifestyle. Lack of communication can be a killer in relationships. Jane and I used to talk a lot about our plans and aspirations years ago but we had got out of the habit. We sat cuddled up together on the settee and talked the events of this last week.
We both agreed that we had ventured into something that neither of us wanted to stop. Jane told me frankly that sex had become boring with me. "It's not you personally," she told me. "It's sex with the same person all the time. You get used to the same positions, the same body. I have found things exciting with Alex." She added. "It's not just size and performance it's the excitement of a strange touch; a different body smell and new lust."
I knew what she meant. Her words hurt but I had taken her body for granted, now another man was getting the excitement that I used to get seeing her body. Another man was experiencing the charms that I had been experiencing over the years.
I asked her if she had been serious about taking a few lovers over the next while before settling down with a couple of regulars and perhaps having a baby with one of them. "Yes." She told me.
She stroked my hair as she said, "I am going to be doing lots of things over this next while that you may not like me doing and probably find hard to understand but always remember that I love you and need to do them."
We kissed, perhaps with more passion that we had done in years. I wanted to make love to her even if it meant using a condom but Jane said no. "Not until Wednesday, I'm afraid." She told me. "Alex's orders."
Alex's influence in our marriage was becoming well and truly established now.
Jane:
I mentioned in my introduction that I sometimes flirted; I liked to flirt, a woman needs to flirt as well. I had flirted with a few of Mark's friends over the years and a few men associated with our business. Nothing too overt but their again you don't need to be with a male. Just a smile can sometimes get a man thinking that you are interested in him. I have girlfriends who openly admit that if they want something from a man, even the man himself, they are not adverse to undoing an extra button of their blouse and or even flashing a thigh. I had never done anything like that in the past but I had suddenly got the confidence to that now.
I had already started to wear skirts more often than trousers or jeans now and I had discarded my tights for stockings. I was learning that it felt good to feel sexy and it also boosted your confidence. A confident, sexy woman can be quite an attraction for men!
I had told Mark that I intended sleeping around. It wasn't said with any deliberate intention of hurting him. I loved him and didn't want to deliberately hurt or humiliate him but there was a streak in me that found a vein of pleasure in doing so. I also knew that Mark got enjoyment out of idea as well. A glance down at his crotch gave me all the indication I needed!
Why I wanted to sleep around was an easy question to answer and that was because I could. Women have always had a higher sex drive than men but they have always had to rein it in; hold it back. A man can sleep around with ease. They don't get called derogatory names; in fact they get plaudits for it from other men. Women on the other hand get called horrible names and get looked down on. Convention says that a man can go out and a bed a different woman every night and nothing gets said about it but a woman can't.
I loved sex and wanted to experience more. Convention may say that I can't but my husband had released me from the bonds of marital fidelity and I intended taking advantage of it.
Mark:
Mick called by the office on Tuesday morning. Jane had sat with me the morning before and told me to ring him about making her new bedroom en-suite. That morning she wore a pair of tight fitting leggings with a camisole top under a long cream silk blouse. The tail of the blouse covered her bottom but it was see-though and its effect was limited.
Mick's eyes were all over her when she came into the office. We talked about what we wanted for a few minutes and then Jane took him off to the house so that he could measure up and give us a quotation. His eyes were fixed on her bottom as he followed her out of the offices.
