Today was the big day with months of planning involved. I had made the decision to ask the woman I loved to be my wife. Her engagement ring was nestled securely in my pocket, the picnic basket was packed, and we had arrived at the rose garden at the park. While sure her answer would be yes the butterflies in my stomach swarmed. We had been inseparable since meeting unexpectedly through a mutual friend. We had been so close to each other for years sharing this mutual friend but had never crossed paths or even knew about each other until fate placed us together when we were both ready. For me within five minutes of meeting her my heart and mind were screaming "She is the one, I am going to marry her". Truth be told I actually had her turn me down twice to go on a date. The third time she asked me if I was going to ask her out again and I said no before she told me not to give up so easily.
Today everything was going perfectly as planned. It took massive amounts of patience on my part not to pop the question until the time was just right. When the moment arrived I did the traditional one knee with ring in hand proposal. She smiled and immediately tears poured down her cheeks. However they weren't tears of joy but sadness. My stomach turned and my heart literally stopped beating for a second. How could I have been so wrong, what had I missed, were my own feelings blinding me?
She took the ring from my hand and choked back her emotions before telling me she wanted nothing more than to be my wife BUT we needed to talk first. She explained that she had been wanting and waiting for this moment with me but also dreading it at the same time.
Before locking me into engagement she didn't want me to not be aware of her past and something else first. Marriage she told me shouldn't be entered without truth. We took a seat on the blanket and she proceeded to tell me about growing up with her stepfather (now deceased) after her mother passed when she was young. How eventually her stepdad had her started watching porn with him and watching him masturbate. The progression of events that moved to eventually helping him masturbate to them becoming intimate with intercourse
I was floored and at a loss for words, nothing prepared me for what she was telling me. She continued telling me that wasn't the worst part of her confession because her stepdad was a voyeur. This was something her mother hadn't been aware of but something her stepfather had kept careful hidden. Because he liked to watch she eventually started performing with a handful of select mature men her stepdad selected.
The men and her participation in the encounters was something she had agreed to prior to performing. Secrecy had been paramount with everyone involved and the encounters happening in private with just the same individuals involved separately or sometimes as a group.
She told me I deserved to know everything and nobody wore a condom or pulled out to cum. Fortunately she avoided catching an STD or getting pregnant but the encounters had few rules or restrictions. They included everything from Polaroid pictures, video taping, to carefully administered lines of meth being given to her to snort sometimes to extend the encounters from hours into day long events.
