I asked my friend if he might be able to help me out. He said, "Sure, anything." I went on to explain it was something with 'the wife' and it was a really big favor. The fact that the favor had more to do with him was a moot point.
"Let me show you," I said, "follow me." I led him through the house to the hallway. We stopped just outside our master bath. The door was slightly opened, just about a crack. We looked in and my wife was nude in front of the mirror. "Would you like some of that?" I asked. He nodded, puzzled by my question, being careful not to speak, not to let her hear.
I motioned with my head for him to follow me out to the garage. "I know she likes you," I said when I closed the garage door. "I haven't worked it all out yet, but I know she feels bad that Janet left you without a sex life. I really think she would apply for the job." I could tell he liked where the conversation was going, and he listened attentively.
"She talks about it a lot, that you can't enjoy sex. I am
working on it, trying to get it to be her idea, like you are a project," I said. "I just really think she wants to fuck you. She thinks you need a good piece of ass," I said.
"She may be right," he said. He stood listening and it didn't seem that what I feared might happen, had: that he would resent being made a project. It was clear he liked the possibilities, and his smile was a broad one. If there is anything a healthy man with any sex drive would like, it would be the idea of fucking my wife.
"So you are okay with it?" I asked.
"Hell yes," he said. "What guy with a pulse wouldn't be thrilled? A woman like that? Sure."
"Good," I said. "I will do my best. Now I have to talk with her, do some negotiating. I will talk to you again next week. In the meantime, be thinking about it, try to be around and be charming."
"Not sure how charming I can be, but I'll try," he said. "Why would you do this, let me fuck your wife?" he asked with a bewildered look.
"Because we are friends. Friends help friends," I said. "And she likes you. As I said, I think she wants to fuck you." We stood in the garage, just standing and looking at one another, just thinking about what I had advocated.
"I am flattered," he said. ""This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me."
"You haven't fucked her yet. Don't thank me too soon," I said. "Wait until after you've given her her first orgasm." We both laughed, but it was a wonderful laugh between really close friends.
He left and I went back inside, determined to start right away. She came out of the bathroom in a robe, and she looked positively stunning. I thought about her being with Jonathon and smiled to myself over what I was planning.
"What are you so happy about?" she asked.
"Jonathon was here. It was just something he said," I told her, pleased that I could tell the truth.
"How is he doing?" she asked.
"Horny as a freshman at summer camp," I said.
"He needs a good lay," she said in an uncharacteristic moment of candor. "Needs a good piece of ass. Poor man," she added.
"Yes, I think you are right. He does need a good piece of ass," I said. "But good sex is hard to find. Not everyone has a wife as good as you," I said. She looked at me for a long time, then she smiled. Things are looking up, I thought.
That night as we were getting ready for bed, I asked, "Any of your girlfriends looking for a good man to have sex with?"
"All of my girlfriends are married," she said.
"That doesn't matter," I said. "Wives can fuck men who need a good piece of ass and aren't their husbands. Any horny housewives out there?"
"There are plenty of those," she said. "Dozens in just our neighborhood alone.
"Any good Samaritans out there willing to help a horny old guy?" I asked. She looked at me for a long time and I hoped the idea was percolating. "I am pretty sure he can please a woman in bed. He was a real horn dog in college. You know sex is just sex, it's not love and a life commitment," I said. "Sure you don't know a horny piece of ass who would like Jonathon? He could do with a woman who likes sex and knows how to please a man. Having sex with someone other than your husband is not a federal offense, you know."
"Are you trying to get me to have sex with Jonathon?" she asked, amazing me once again how smart she was.
"What you do on your own time is your business," I said, trying to recover. "My friend just needs a little sex," I added. "A good fuck. Who gives it to him is none of my business," I said. She looked at me suspiciously, then nodded, as if she was thinking of a scheme.
I had Jonathon come over a few times a week. I wanted them to be comfortable around one another, to get to feel natural and relaxed together. They joked, laughed, and seemed like the perfect couple. It was clear that my wife was very fond of our friend, and I thought the project might just be working out better than I had hoped.
