Mark and Judy (Jude, as he sometimes called her) met while in college and married a year after graduation. Mark went to work for a large insurance company and Judy became a high school history teacher. While Mark was happy that his corporate job paid about 25% more than Judy earned as a teacher, he was more than a little envious of her having a couple of months off over the summer.
They had been married about four years when Mark, once again, brought up the subject of children. It was a bit of a sore spot for Judy as she had grown tired of her mother and mother-in-law quizzing her about starting a family, and now Mark was bugging her about it - again.
"Babe, I'm only 27! I have plenty of time for having kids. Why do we have to rush into parenthood? I love having some free time for myself. Don't you enjoy being able to do things with our free time over the summer?"
"Yes, of course, but I also want to be young enough to keep up with our kids as they grow up. Besides, if we time it right, we'll still be young enough to enjoy ourselves when we're empty nesters."
"Well, I'm just not ready. I want to have fun for a couple of more years before I become a slave to my children. Please, Baby, just this year and next, then I'll go off the pill."
Mark reluctantly agreed but (only half-jokingly) made Judy "pinky swear" that she would stick to that promise. Now he'd have to have a word with his mother about not bugging Judy. While he felt his mother may agree to let up on the pressure, his mother-in-law was a lost cause. Hopefully, he and Judy together could get her to back off for a year or so.
Over the next school year, Judy befriended several new teachers who had recently been hired. They were young, attractive, and all single. Judy had gone to several impromptu gatherings held at various bars the "new" girls like to frequent. She usually begged off around 9:30 and was home well before 10:30 pm. Mark wasn't wild about her hanging out with the young hotties, especially after Judy divulged the fact that the ladies often "scored" when they went out.
"So how do they manage to hook up with these guys when they are out in a group?"
"Oh, well, they all love to dance and the guys usually swarm around our table as soon as the music starts," Judy said and then blushed a little, knowing what was coming next.
Dripping sarcasm, Mark said, "I see, and, naturally, the guys just go after the single girls. I'm 100% sure when the boys see your ring they completely understand you're off-limits and never try to hit on you. Right, Dear?"
"Uh, well, I sometimes get asked to dance, BUT I make it known I'm married and it's just a dance. Besides, I'm no competition for those girls."
"Bullshit! I've seen all those young Bambis. They are cute but you are every bit as hot as any one of them."
Judy blushed shyly, "You're just saying that because you're my husband and you're hoping to get laid tonight." Then she smiled and said, "Well, guess what, smooth talker, it worked!" She then grabbed his hand and dragged him off to their bedroom.
Mark stared at the ceiling as Judy rested her head on his shoulder. He loved moments like this. His naked wife in his arms softly purring as she came down from a powerful climax. He kissed her head and his mind slipped back to their previous conversation.
"Jude, I know guys hit on you when you're out and I trust you to fend them off, but do you ever find yourself wishing you didn't have to, you know, fend them off?"
Judy was quiet for a few seconds, she wanted to be honest with Mark. "Truthfully? Maybe one time. It was an older guy, who happened to stop in after dinner with a client. He said he was a Pharmaceutical Rep and was just taking over a new territory. He'd had dinner with the office manager of a medical practice in the area and decided to stop in for a drink.
"He talked to me for a while and we danced a few times. He was handsome and charming. I think he was about ready to ask me to leave with him when my watch vibrated at 9:30. I told him I had to get home to my husband and stood up.
"He grabbed my hand and asked me to stay. I looked into his eyes and I admit, for maybe two nanoseconds, I briefly considered it but quickly shook him off and walked out. I don't know what it was about that guy, but he's the only one that ever tempted me in any way."
"Let me guess, Alice's birthday 6 weeks ago, you guys went to the Hilton."
"Oh my god! How could you possibly know that?"
"I didn't, until just now. I remember how horny you were that night. You were soaked when I went down on you and exploded in just a few moments. Then you climbed up on me and rode me through two more climaxes. (Mark scowled) Shit, to think, I was so proud of myself for getting you off 3 times and now I find out it wasn't me that got you all excited! You were imagining it was him and that's what put you over the top."
"No, no, no! It WAS you I was hot for. Sure, maybe he got me revved up a bit, but it was you I wanted when I came home and it was you that got me off!"
Now it was Mark's turn to be quiet for a few moments. "I hope that's true. I want to believe it's true. ... Jude, I love you, but if you ever said yes to some guy, it would be the end of us."
"I know Baby, I know. I would never do anything behind your back. We talked about that, no cheating, ever! One and done! We both agreed." Judy clung to her husband and kissed his face until he turned to her and kissed her lips.
In time, Mark forgot about what his wife had revealed. She was always careful to tell him about all that happened while she was out with the Bambis. He trusted her and from what he could tell, she never broke his trust.
The next summer, three weeks before Judy's summer vacation ended they dumped the last of her birth control pills. In a couple of weeks, they would start trying to make a baby. Mark was excited about it, and Judy claimed to share his excitement, but part of her was nervous about starting that phase of her life.
Mark was vaguely aware of his wife's apprehension, so he planned a short trip to the beach, thinking it would be a good finish to Judy's summer vacation. Judy loved the idea of a romantic getaway and bought a skimpy new bikini and a few sexy summer dresses for the occasion.
The resort was beautiful and the happy couple was enjoying being pampered by the staff. They spent the first two days lying in the sun and wandering the beach hand in hand. Their evenings consisted of a light meal and then watching the sunset from their balcony, followed by hours of love-making. It was a blissful time for both of them.
On the third night, Judy suggested they go dancing at one of the nearby clubs. She donned a slinky emerald green dress and heeled sandals.
"Wow, Jude, you look fantastic! How am I going to keep the wolves at bay tonight?"
Judy laughed, "Don't be silly, you're the only animal I have any interest in."
The club was hopping. The music pounded as the dancers moved to the beat. Judy was a sexy dancer and she attracted a lot of attention. Each time they returned to their table for a break, several young horn dogs came to their table and asked Judy for a dance. Mark could see she was flattered, but Judy declined each offer.
Toward the end of the evening, a handsome casually dressed, older man slowly approached their table. Mark spotted him before Judy was aware of his approach and stopped talking in mid-sentence. Judy turned to see what had distracted her husband.
"Judy?" The gentleman cautiously asked.
"Steven!" Judy gushed. "What are you doing here?" She stood to embrace the interloper as Mark looked from one to the other. Judy then turned to Mark who had risen to his feet.
"Mark, this is Steven, we met at April's birthday celebration. Steven, this is my husband, Mark."
