I loved it when my wife, Katherine, looked her most elegant.
Ever since we began dating back in high school, I had admired her grace, her femininity, and her dress sense. She was classically pretty, with long, chestnut hair, green eyes, and alabaster skin, and her small breasts were more than compensated for by her tall, lithe body, and beautiful slender legs. The fact that she was a celebrated ballerina was no surprise, but that she was so quiet, unassuming, and interested in me, was.
We got married a few years after high school, and I knew that many people thought I was very lucky. Indeed, I knew I was. But due to what I saw as the unevenness between us, I always had a sense of uncertainty that she would stick with me long-term.
To be fair, this nervousness in me wasn't unfounded as, when we first got together, she had just gone through a messy late teenage break-up, and on at least one occasion after she and I were dating, she ended up back with her ex-boyfriend in an attempt to end it for good. Which actually meant letting him feel her up, and her ending up on her knees giving him a blowjob. I found out about it the next day at school, and while I was devasted to the point of getting sick, I also found myself masturbating to the image of her with him for many years afterward.
We had been married for years by now, with three beautiful kids, and Katherine was as beautiful and as sexy as ever. We had, in fact, stayed together, but my thoughts that she could be seduced by someone else and taken away from me never entirely left. At the same time, and as perverted as it might seem, part of me longed for it to happen. Don't get me wrong. I didn't actually want to lose her; I just found the prospect of her going off with someone else, and giving her body to them instead of me radically exciting. Whether it was with a man or a woman.
Well on this particular night, she surprised me. It's true it was a Friday, but we had been so busy, we hadn't sated in a very long time.
'Hurry home from work,' she said, as I took my keys from their hook and started making my way out the door. 'I have a special dinner date planned for the two of us, and the kids are going to stay with my parents for the weekend.'
I was simultaneously shocked and excited, and I did as commanded. After thinking about hardly anything else all day, I got home, where Katherine greeted me warmly and told me to go upstairs to shower and change into something nice. After that, she said, she would do the same. Suspecting what this meant, I pretty much ran to our room, showered thoroughly, and began to get dressed.
Although I have no interest in wearing women's clothes, I do like to wear soft, feminine fabrics, and the first thing I put on was a pair of tight, white 'ice silk' boxers: very thin, transparent, stretchy, and sexy-feeling underwear that enhanced the sensation of every touch I hoped to experience later that evening. After that, it was a nice pair of socks, my favourite cologne, a crisp white shirt, suit trousers, and a jacket. I was feeling both turned on, and pretty good about myself. Then I returned downstairs.
'Good,' said Katherine. 'You look great.' She came close to me and sniffed my neck. 'And you smell great too. Now I'll go get ready. You relax until I get down.'
'Relax,' I thought. 'Fat chance of that. I don't even know what she has planned exactly, and I'm so excited I can hardly keep from touching myself.'
I wasn't disappointed.
After half an hour or so, Katherine returned. I heard her soft foot steps on the stairs, and braced myself for what I was about to see. When she stepped from the last step, I beheld a figure of absolute beauty. There stood my wife of twenty years, in a scarlet dress that fell to just above her knees. It had a flared skirt and a tight-fitting bodice that ended just above her breasts, and covered the rest of her chest, her shoulders, and her arms with a sheer black fabric. I knew there was no way she could have worn a bra underneath it, and the whole effect was mesmerizing. Her incredible legs, meanwhile, were adorned in the sexiest, most exquisite pair of sheer black pantyhose. In fact, they were pantyhose I knew to be very expensive, as I had bought them for her months earlier. Finally, on her feet, she wore a pair of classic black suede four inch heels - something she almost never did, saying that she found high heels like that too uncomfortable.
I could hardly speak.
'Oh my g-d,' I finally managed. 'You look... you look... amazing.' It was all I could manage as I stepped toward her to take her in my arms and kiss her.
But she smiled and held me away. 'None of that now, hun,' she said. Let's just head out to the car and go. There will be plenty of time later.'
And with that, I got the car keys, and we made our way outside.
Katherine directed me to one of the nicest hotel restaurants in the city, and I found a space to park the car in the parkade underneath the hotel. It meant that we had nothing to worry about in terms of wind or rain, and we could maintain our dignity as we made our way via the elevator to the restaurant.
The restaurant was on the eighth floor and our table was right beside one of the great windows, which meant that we had an incredible view of the city as we ate. Everything was perfect, and I was utterly enthralled by Katherine's beauty against such a romantic background. And I wasn't the only one. Two men whom I assumed were businessmen staying at the hotel were sitting at a table nearby, and I caught them looking over at us on more than one occasion.
At one point, after we had finished our main course, Katherine said she had to visit the ladies' room, so she pushed back her chair, got up, and had to shuffle past their table. I watched in awe, and caught her give them a smile as she made her way past. This set my ever-fantasizing mind racing, and while she was gone, I imagined her leaving me for one of these men. I took in their appearance in order to make the fantasy more realistic, and figured they were both about the same height at around six feet tall. One of the two men was bigger, though, and I imagined him to be something of a body builder. He had a friendly face, but it also looked like he could easily destroy someone with a single punch. The other man was more slight, and I decided in my mind that he probably a cyclist. What do they call them? A lycra-clad weekend warrior. His face was a also nice, and clean-shaven as he was, he looked a lot less intimidating. I figured if Katherine was going to go off with one of them, it would be the bigger guy.
In any case, my wandering mind was brought back to reality by my wife, whom I spotted making her way back toward our table, and only feet away from the two men. At that moment, I saw the bigger man's mouth move.
It was hard to hear, but it was obvious he said, 'Hey beautiful. Your husband's a lucky man tonight.'
This made Katherine smile broadly, yet with hint of embarrassment, and reply, 'Thank you! He may be.' I couldn't believe her response, but it made the men laugh.
She sat down, and I said, 'Wow. You handled that well.'
'What?' she replied. 'They were just being nice.' With which she seemed to signal that I wasn't to talk about what happened. And so we ordered dessert.
When we had finished and I had paid the bill, we got up and proceeded to leave the restaurant. As we passed by the men together, the bigger one spoke again to wish us a good night, and this time I responded with, 'I hope so.' We all laughed, and soon Katherine and I were down at the car.
'Chris, can we take the scenic route home? I don't feel like going home just yet,' she said to me as we settled into our seats.
Wondering if she had something in mind, I said, 'Of course, love. Your wish is my command.' Yet as we drove through the city streets, she didn't seem to have any particular destination she wanted to see, and I was left a bit confused when, after almost an hour of driving, she finally said she had had enough and that we should head home.
By this time, I could feel the onset of blueballs. I had been sitting with this vision of beauty for hours now, and nothing had happened other than the hopeful thoughts in my head, so I really just wanted to get back and for us to kiss madly until we could no longer stand it and we had sex in any room in the house.
