Chapter 6 The Lady Captain's Year β
October
Carried over from Chapter 5
I asked her, "Do you have any idea how long you can keep this need under control, before your lust takes over your rational mind?"
She said, "I just don't know, it has been nearly ten weeks since it happened and I feel that I can still control my base urges, but it's getting harder and harder, I feel something's going to happen soon, not tomorrow or the next day, but soon. I know what it will do to us, but the desire keeps growing and the slightest suggestive remark cause me to flood my panties. I have to go and masturbate just to relieve the tightness in my stomach!"
There was nothing I could say that would be other than platitudes, so I said, "Let's think on it. Maybe we between us we can find a solution, I still think therapy is the only way forward, two months is hardly giving it a chance to resolve our issues."
As to September turned to October, I decided to defer any decision on the subject of allowing Sally to fuck other men until the trial of Samuels and his cohorts was over.
The trial date was upon us. I escorted Sally to the court building as we were both witnesses for the prosecution. When Samuels and the others were led into the courtroom and placed in the dock, the charges were read out.
The Court Bailiff then asked each of them in turn, "How do you plead?" there was a gasp, as one by one they pleaded guilty. This was unexpected, as the prosecutor had told us all along that they all intended pleading not guilty. They were remanded for fourteen days to enable social services reports on their previous character to be collated. Following that, they would be sentenced. The judge specifically told Samuels, that as ringleader of this horrific attack, he could expect a long custodial sentence. Then they were taken down to the cells.
We were relieved but puzzled by this turn of events and as we exited the court and who should we meet but Bob and Samantha. Bob had the biggest smile on his face. Something clicked in my brain.
"Did you have anything to do with them changing their plea?" I asked suspiciously.
He just smiled and said, "Time for a celebration drink."
He never did tell me if he was responsible, he cut me off whenever I tried to quiz him about it.
As the month progressed our sex life was dominated by watching the video, followed by sex, but I could see that we were getting less and less aroused by the action on the video, while any attempt to make love as we used to, did not push Sally's buttons any more. I suspected that she faked her orgasms and she admitted as much when I challenged her. I was frustrated and so was Sally.
We had again discussed the problem with our therapist and he just kept saying, "Give yourself some time, if there is no improvement by Christmas, I will suggest you attending a specialist colleague.
Shortly after we returned home from the trial, Sally reopened the subject of broadening our sexual relationship. This time she broached it from a different angle.
She said to me rather sheepishly, "If you were to agree to letting me sleep with other men, it would have to be with strangers, I couldn't bare to do it with people we know or where we might get recognised."
I was troubled by the whole prospect, on the one hand, I found myself aroused by the erotic nature of the proposal, on the other, I was sure it would spell the end of our marriage. I tried to explain this to Sally, but she continued to work on my reluctant stance over the next few days. Finally, we reached a form of agreement in that I would consent to Sally getting sex outside of our marriage only if I was present at all times. Sally agreed and then went onto discuss how we could arrange it.
"Where were you thinking of this up then?" I asked.
She didn't hesitate in replying, "I think we should go to Blackpool, somewhere with lots of young lads out on the razzle, plenty of sites to park Betsy and no nosy neighbours. Remember that site we went to before, it was just outside of town and very quiet, so we would be unlikely to be disturbed."
She had thought it all out I thought out, I realised suddenly, so before I could change my mind, I said, "OK, we will give it a try this once, but if either of us wants to stop, we just have to say Betsy and we stop immediately, agreed?"
Sally quickly agreed and was all over me.
"Oh, thank you Jack, I promise you, I will make sure you have a weekend you will never forget!"
