"I don't expect you to really understand," she said with an exasperated tone.
How many times had I heard that phrase from my wife lately, especially as she had progressed through the Law Enforcement Training Academy? Too many to count! How was a "civilian" supposed to relate to what a Law Enforcement Officer had to deal with on a daily basis? The stress of the job takes a toll on family members, but the toll on the officers is even greater. Especially these days with the social microscope focused on the police and criminals brazenly ruling the streets, the job is a very stressful one. In my head, I at least knew that much. But, since I was not in her shoes, she felt like I really could not fully understand the demands of the job like a fellow officer could.
"I really am trying to understand, Ashley ... but I don't see the logic behind it," I started. "How does going on a 'retreat' with your partner help to make you safer in your work?"
I felt like this was a valid question, but she once again used the same dismissive tone when she replied, "It's a Team Building and Bonding Camp, babe. You spend 3 weeks camping together in a rugged environment with minimal supplies. It forces you to become more reliant and more trusting of your partner, so that -- in the end - you understand and trust that other person as much as you trust yourself! You have their back, and you know that they have your back, too!"
"Surviving twenty-one days in the wilderness, huh? Kind of like that TV show Naked and Afraid."
Finally, that little joke brought a slight smile to her sweet face. "I suppose so, yes! But in our case, we get to wear clothes!" she said, pointing out the obvious difference. "But, we are not allowed any modern conveniences, especially our cell phones. No access to the outside world through texts or the internet. Just you, your partner, and your combined strengths and intellect."
"No phones? Wow, that seems strict! So, I have to go for 3 weeks without being able to chat with my own wife?" Had we been married for many years, this would not have seemed so onerous. But, we had just married 2 months before, and we were still enjoying the closeness and fun that comes with being newlywed lovebirds.
"I know that you'll be fine, Zach!" she said, sounding a bit patronizing. "But, if you think you will be having it tough here in the apartment, just imagine how tough it will be on me on in the field."
I had to admit that was a good point. Still, having gotten used to daily, passionate sex with my new bride had me feeling sorry for myself that I was going to have to go without for nearly a month. As if she was reading my mind, her stance softened and she slid up to me and grabbed my cock through my pants and said, "I know what you are going to miss most, Zach! And I, also! But we will have to just make up for lost time before I leave and after I get back," she purred.
Now, Ashley was a stone-cold fox before we married. But lately she had been working out even more, and her body had become a work of art for our wedding, and in training for her job. Even the thought her naked body caused me a raging hard-on. So, when she grabbed my cock like that, I knew that it was on! Soon, we were both naked and I was sliding on a condom to once again enjoy my wife's hot body!
I wish that I could say that I fucked her like a stallion for hours, but the reality was that I found her so irresistible that I blew my load into the condom after just a few pumps. But I was enough of a gentleman to give her oral to ensure her climax, too!
As we laid there naked and tangled together in the afterglow of our passion, I got to thinking about this upcoming "Bonding Experience" between her and her work partner. Mike was a big, strong guy, so I knew that she would be in good hands. He was also married with 3 kids. Ashley and I had gone out with Mike and his wife Karen a few times, and they seemed to be a very happy couple. So, I should not have to even consider either of them getting "too close" over their experience. Still there was that seed of doubt. I could only imagine the level of temptation that spending 3 weeks with Ashley -- and spending 21 nights with her -- could create.
Then, even practical questions came to my mind. What would the sleeping arrangements be like? How would they bathe out there? Even using the toilet. I assumed that was all part of getting comfortable with each other and creating that bond.
"Mmmm .... That was great!" Ashley cooed as she laid on my chest. "What are you thinking about?" she inquired. As part of our own bonding in our new relationship, we had taken to asking this question of each other very often. To know each other's mind, we needed to hear what the other was thinking. We made it a point to answer these queries as openly and honestly as we could to increase our intimacy.
"Honestly, Ashley, I was just wondering how in the world Mike was going to be able to resist you over that 3 week period."
That comment made her push up off my chest and look searchingly into my eyes.
"You trust me, don't you?" she asked with a tinge of hurt in her voice.
Without hesitation I replied, "Of course, I do, Baby!" But, then I added, "It's other men that I don't trust. You're so amazingly beautiful and sexy, I know guys hit on you all the time. And, without me to fend them off of you ..." I left that thought open-ended.
"I'm a big girl who can defend myself when my knight-in-shining-armor is not around!"
"I realize that, Ash, but ..." I wasn't sure how to phrase me real concerns.
"But, what...?" she continue to pry.
I decided to just spill my thoughts out there. "Well, it's just that you will be sleeping with him every night for nearly a month. The 2 of you will be all alone. Heck, I don't even know that he won't catch a glimpse -- or more -- of you when you are washing up or changing clothes."
Ashley placed her slender hands against my face and turned me to face her so we would be able to lock eyes. "Zachary. I have to tell you that, yes, in all likelihood we will have to get more comfortable around each other physically. But, NOTHING will happen! My body is YOUR playground, NOT Mike's playground. OK?!" She continued to stare into my eyes, waiting for my acknowledgement.
I could tell she was sincere, so I had to say, "I know, Baby! And I appreciate that! You and I are a team for life!" With that, she melted into my arms, and we drifted off to sleep.
I guess it was because it was the last thing we discussed before falling asleep, but that night I remember having vivid sex dreams that seem very realistic! In my dreams, I recall watching television alone in our apartment. The show I was watching was Naked and Afraid. This was realistic, because my wife and I had often watched this show together. But, in my dream I was alone, and naked on our couch as I watched. As the couple on the TV came into focus for me, I realized that the contestants on the show were Ashley and Mike! I watched as my naked wife worked together with a naked Mike to create a usable shelter and campsite. By the time the shelter was completed, it was getting dark, and the couple on the TV went into their shelter for the night. In the growing darkness, the night vision lens of their personal camcorders caught the next moments. The 2 naked people looked at each other and high-fived over their successful first day in their new environment. That led to a celebratory hug. As the 2 separated slightly after the hug, they caught each other's stares. Then it happened .... Ashley tilted her head ever so slightly and leaned forward. Taking this cue, I watched as Mike tilted his head the opposite way, then closed the remaining distance between them. I saw my wife's mouth open as their lips met, and I could see the evidence of tongues swirling in side their mouths. Ashley moaned, which was a sound that I knew so well which meant that she was turned on to the point of no-return.
Mike laid my wife on her back in their tent and proceeded to lick and kiss his way from her neck, over her tits and down her stomach, to her eager pussy. Once his mouth reached her clit, Ashley's hands pulled his head into her crotch and begged him to eat her pussy.
With his ass in the air and toward to camera, I finally noticed his large cock, already hard and pointing towards my wife's body. When he finally came up for air, I saw Ashley pulling his head back up towards her face, and saying, "Fuck me, Mike! Put that big cock into my pussy! I want you inside of me!"
From that same camera angle below the 2 of them, I watched as Mike rose up over her, and aiming his cock with his right hand, aligned himself for her wet hole. As his weight fell onto her, his cock drove into her body in one fluid movement, and Ashley screamed out in passion at the sudden invasion of her body!
That's all it took for me, and I immediately felt an orgasm erupting. That's when I woke up ... as I was erupting a nocturnal orgasm onto my sleeping wife's tits as she dozed peacefully next to me.
--------------
The next morning, the dried and smelly spunk on my wife's tits reminded me of my sex dream of the night before. It also surprised my wife when she woke up and asked what had happened.
"I'm sorry," I apologized, "I had an orgasm last night in my sleep."
"Wow! Really?" she asked. This was a first since we'd been together. "What was the dream about?"
I felt ashamed as I recalled my sex dream and, for a fleeting moment I considered lying about it. But, in our ongoing effort to remain open and honest in our new marriage, I decided to be 100% real with her. "I'm not sure I recall everything, but the basic dream was about watching you and Mike as contestants on Naked and Afraid."
"Oh, wow!" she exclaimed. I hoped that she would accept that answer, but -- of course -- she asked for more details. "Tell me what happened, and what caused you to erupt like that!"
"Well, of course, you know the premise of the show. So, both of you were naked, and creating a campsite. But, after the 2 of you went into your shelter for the night, it got X-rated. Mike made love to you."
I saw the shock on her face. "Are you serious? You dreamt that Mike and I had sex?"
"Yeah, I did. I know it was not a realistic dream because they never show that in the shows. But, it was like I was watching some hot, amateur porn, and you were the star of it! Since you are the hottest girl I have ever known, it made that porn scene the best I've ever seen, and I guess I came while I was watching you in my dreams."
After revealing this much, I hoped that full honesty was still the best policy, and I waited for her reaction to this admission. "Damn, Zach! I'm shocked that watching me having sex would get you off like that! And with Mike, of all people!"
I tried to back-pedal a bit by saying, "Well, I had no control over it. It was just a dream. And I guess the discussion we had before we went to sleep caused it."
"Yeah, you couldn't stop a dream, but it made you cum!" she correctly observed. "Is the thought -- or the sight -- of me having sex with someone that hot to you?"
"What?!? No! I mean ... I guess that dream was hot and it made me cum, but I have never thought before about sharing you or watching you with anyone else."
