“Oh?“
“Yes. I mean… it got easier.“
“Yes?“
“Yes, and…“
“And?“
“… and maybe I ended up being a little turned on by it too.“
“Really?“
“Yes.“
“That’s great!“
There was a moment’s quiet.
“It was like,” she said, “… I got absorbed in it. And suddenly it felt good to say the absolute worst things I could possibly think of. It made me horny.“
“Incredible. Do you know what turned you on?“
“Hmm, I think… feeling the power I had over you. How my words made you submit to me. It made me feel strong.“
“Wow.“
“Powerful.“
“So, like it triggered something in you?“
“Yes. Suddenly I felt like my sexual gratification was the only thing that mattered. Like I could do with you whatever I felt like.“
“And you could, you know.“
She smiled. There was a moment’s quiet.
“But there was something else,” she said, “I actually felt really close to you in that situation, and feeling your vulnerability also moved me. It stirred some strong emotions. And in that situation, that emotion somehow fueled my arousal too.“
Again, a moment’s quiet. This time, he broke it.
“This is how I see it. The trust that you and I share allowed us to create a space between us, where there was room for me to show my vulnerability, and for you to say some things that otherwise wouldn’t be allowed.“
“Yes. I did some things – said some things – that I wouldn’t normally have been able to. And that I wouldn’t normally have wanted to.“
“No. Outside of… shall we say »sexual settings«, you’re nothing like that. Fortunately for me.“
“I should hope not. And right now, I’m just glad I gave you something you wanted. Glad I lived up to the trust you placed in me.“
Chapter 14 – Dinner
Later that night, they were at the dinner table, having dinner. He looked at her and thought about how much he loved her.
Then she broke the silence.
“Oh, by the way, honey?“, she said and looked him in the eyes.
“Yes?“, he replied.
“Anders said something interesting.“
“Oh? What?“
“He told me he has a friend Lucas, who also dates hotwives.“
“Really?“
“Yes, and they have this arrangement, that if one of them is with someone who wants to try to have two men at the same time, they… help each other out.“
“I think I can see where this is headed.“
“I think you can, too.“
“Taken by two men – that’s kind of always been a big fantasy of yours, hasn’t it?“
“Yes.“
“So?“
“So the three of us just need to set a date.“
“You sure do.“
Chapter 15 – Goodnight
Later still, they’d gone to bed for the night and lay naked together under the blanket. He had his arm around her. Her breathing was heavy, and he guessed she was already sleeping.
He felt a gentle serenity settle in.
Today, she had gone out and she had come home again – and she was almost, but not quite the same.
He’d glimpsed a mischievous quality in her smile earlier, and a dreamy twinkle in her eyes.
And right before she fell asleep, she cuddled up to him in a more affectionate manner than usual.
He kissed her forehead. Even her smell seemed a little different.
He closed his eyes.
Today had been an emotional rollercoaster ride for both of them, but it had also brought them closer together.
