This is my first erotic story. Please comment... good, bad, or otherwise. Good comments will encourage to get to the next chapter where Steven gives my wife what she wanted... me.
***
My wife, Maureen, started seeing our neighbor, Steven, about a year ago. At first, I was in denial when I saw the signs of her cheating but deep down, I knew. I am ashamed to admit that I had spied on her to confirm my suspicions, but let's just say that the voice recorder I had in the bedroom picked up the sounds of a porno staring my wife and our neighbor.
I was furious at first. It wasn't just that she was cheating on me but with Steven! I felt betrayed by her and by him.
Steven and I were not best friends or anything, but we would hang out from time to time, talk over the fence, and even watch a game together on Sundays... normal neighbor type stuff. Steven was well built and reminded me of the type of person that would have been a jock in school. He had several inches on me, putting him at about 6 foot 2 inches. He was also confident in who he was and laughed easily. I could understand how my wife would find him attractive to begin with.
I was frustrated in not knowing to how to confront her with what I had found out. As the days progressed, I was constantly preoccupied with trying to figure out what to do. Should I kick her to curb? Should I confront her and demand that she stop seeing him? Should I confront Steven? I was stuck and didn't know what to do. I loved her and felt that we could get past this. Infidelity happens to couples all the time and they can get past it. The indecision was making me feel impotent and as that impotency made me even more angry.
The days had turned into weeks. I was still angry but when I could look outside my own inner turmoil, I saw that things seemed normal on the outside. After a few weeks, the idea started to slowly develop that I could do nothing and that it would eventually resolve itself. Eventually, Steven would find a full time girlfriend and break things off. I did know that she still loved me, that did not seem to change. I loved her too. I started to think that the jealousy was making me insane that if I could let it go, I could get past this. I would go back and forth between self-pity, anger, and then acceptance of the situation. Soon enough though, it got to the point where I was happy for her in a way. She was experiencing the thrill of getting away with something naughty and the blush and excitement of a new relationship. I was afraid that this was also denial on my part but by this time, I felt it was too late to confront her and certainly too late to do anything about it.
After a few months though, she became more and more cavalier about it and even openly flirting with him. It was almost getting to the point where it seemed that she wanted to get caught or maybe it was that she getting a thrill from the risk and recklessness of getting caught. In either case, when she would be so blatantly flirtatious with Steven with me there, I found myself being humiliated.
Steven always played it cool and I should have hated him after finding out about their affair but I didn't. I may have been jealous of him at first but there was something about Steven that was charismatic. He may have had his faults, but he was real, was open, and very self-confident. I could certainly not blame Maureen on cheating with him. After a while, I found myself in the awkward situation of sharing a beer with him on the front lawn chatting about sports, politics, those darn kids down the block, etc. like normal neighbors again. I was kicking myself about being at such ease while knowing that he and my wife were engaged in a torrid affair.
One Saturday morning, I was just starting some yard work when I saw Steven pull up in his truck with a couple large boxes in the bed of the truck. I waved as he got out of the truck and went to lower the tailgate. "Need some help?" I called out.
"I would appreciate it buddy." I walk over to help.
After a while, I started to notice that vaginal sex with Maureen was becoming infrequent. She preferred that I simply go down on her. I did not blame her. I would like to be able to say that I was a great lover but the reality is that the only time she achieved orgasm was through oral. On several occasions there was an unmistakable taste, aroma of sex... and not just hers. I knew that she was not just wetter than normal but that it was another man's cum. My initial reaction confused the hell out of me. It turned me on. I felt ashamed that I was turned on by it but I could not help it. I am sure that she sensed my increased arousal. She seemed to get a thrill from these times as well, but I did not let on that I knew anything other than mentioning how wet she was.
One night, she had a couple glasses of wine after dinner. This was a little unusual as she does not usually drink; she was feeling no pain. Out of nowhere she asked if I had any secrets. I could tell from the way she asked, that she was a little past her limit. I told her that she is my wife and that I should not have any secrets but admitted to I had a couple things that I had not told her yet.
"Yeah, like what?" she asked.
"Well, how about this? I tell you something that I have not told you yet and you tell me something you have not told me before."
She thought about it for a second, wobbled, almost tipping over and then said, "Sure... sounds reasonable." She sat down before spilling her wine.
"Only, then how about this," I say, "I kissed my cousin Deborah."
"Really?"
"Yup. I had the hots for her for a while when I was 16. Now your turn." I felt a twinge of embarrassment. I had never confessed that to anyone and even now, recall the blush I felt when Deborah and I would exchange furtive glances at family dinners.
Maureen paused and looked as though she was searching for what to say. I knew at least one of her secrets but was wondering if should would come out with that one. I was starting to think that she had more to drink than I had originally thought. She hesitated and then said haltingly, "I have a fantasy of seeing you having sex with another man," she said.
"That's not a secret. That doesn't count. I know that already." I said. She and I had played with the strap-on on several occasions and that subject had been talked about...but only talked about. I did not want to discourage her though. "How about something else or maybe something more specific?"
"More specific?" she asked.
"Or something else."
"Okay, how about you have sex with Steven? Is that specific enough?" she asked it in a matter of fact way. After a moment, her posture changed to almost demure as she looked for my response.
I was a little taken aback by that. I jabbed my thumb in the direction of our neighbor's house. "Steven? As in our neighbor?" She nodded affirmatively but said nothing. "I doubt that he's into that sort of thing," I suggested. I thought I knew Steven well enough. He never came across as anything but a straight-as-you-come type guy. "That's a nice fantasy but I doubt he would be interested in me," I said. "I mean, I doubt he's into guys in that way at all."
She looked up and me and smiled. Almost a knowing smile but it was hard to tell in her inebriated state. "Your turn. Tell another deep dark secret and I will tell you another." She said, blowing me a kiss.
"So you have more secrets?" I asked teasingly. I knew she did. "Okay, let me think." Considering what to say next, I got up and picked up her wine glass and went to the kitchen to refill it. I poured one for myself as well. The only thing on my mind was somehow guiding the conversation to her and Steven. I handed her the wine. "I have fantasized about you and another man too." I said awkwardly.
She looked up at me, took a sip of the wine, and placed it down next to her. Sitting back, she crossed her legs and said, "No way honey. I already know that. If it wasn't good enough for me, it's not good enough for you. Like you told me, more specific or something else baby."
I felt panic rise as I chose my words knowing that this might lead to the conflict that I had been worried about for months. I took her hand and kissed her palm and then lovingly held her hand in mine. "What I meant to say is that I have fantasized about WHEN you are with another guy". I could see the slow shift in posture as she realized the implication. I squeezed her hand to reassure her. Looking into her eyes, I said, "When you are with Steven." She looked down and then back up. I could see the question on her face. "I know." I felt a certain level of relief that it was out in the open but on edge about what her reaction might be.
