“Did you pick out my next date?” Sandra asked as she sat down at the kitchen table on Monday morning.

"Yes. Here’s his profile: Jackson Donald, 35, owns a well-known west-side dance club catering to African Americans. He stands 5'11", wears dreadlocks, and favors rap music. I found a few articles on him—he’s a rising entrepreneur with ties to the Mayor." Jason handed Sandra his photo.

“His smile says he’s got charm. I like that.” Sandra continued reading his profile.

“If you like him, I’ll send him a message for Friday evening.” Jason waited for Sandra’s reply.

“Agreed. That sounds like a good plan.”

As Friday got closer, Jason started to feel uneasy. He was happy for Sandra, but also jealous and insecure. What if Jackson was exactly what Sandra wanted? What if she liked someone else more? Even though Jackson seemed impressive, Jason couldn’t shake his anxiety. He pictured Sandra laughing and dancing with another man. He kept telling himself it was only one date, but the doubts wouldn’t go away. All the research he did on Jackson didn’t help. He still worried about Sandra’s safety and wondered if he was good enough. The anxiety stayed with him, tight in his chest.

Sandra didn’t seem worried at all and was truly excited. After work, her good mood rubbed off on Jason. He helped her take a bath and pick out an outfit. The first two options didn’t feel right. Since her date owned a dance club, Sandra wanted to wear something more attention-grabbing than what she’d wear to the Ritz. She wanted to stand out and enjoy the excitement.

Sandra finally chose a tight black mini-skirt that showed off her curves and felt daring. The skirt didn’t cover her thigh-high nylons. She wore it with a sheer white blouse that let the outline of her lace bra show through. Normally, she skipped hosiery, but tonight she put on black mesh thigh-high stockings, enjoying how they felt on her legs. She stepped into six-inch heels, which made her feel taller and more confident. As a final touch, she put on the necklace with the key to his cage, its weight reminding her that he would be waiting at home, excited and worried, his little penis swollen in spite of everything. He had a right to be excited. She was going out with another black man, with impressive equipment, which she might be sucking tonight. Getting dressed, she felt her excitement build as she looked forward to the evening and all its possibilities.

When she came out of the dressing room, Jason’s eyes widened with admiration and concern. “Wow,” he said, “that’s the sexiest outfit I’ve ever seen you wear. It’s so short, your nylons are showing. Are you even wearing panties?” he asked.

“Nope,” she said, with a naughty smile.

Jason inhaled. "Aren't you worried someone you know might see you?" he asked, his words edged with pride, nerves, and fear. He and Sandra were always uneasy about being seen. A trip to the Ritz passed as business, but not on the west side.

"There shouldn't be an issue. The people I know, or do business with, wouldn't go to that sort of club. From what I've heard, it's really just for black men meeting white women," she said.

That didn’t make Jason feel any less uneasy, and the tension in his chest grew.

Sandra checked her reflection. “You know what? Forget the bra. This blouse demands a little boldness tonight. I am going totally commando tonight.”

Jason said, “I can clearly see your breasts without the bra.”

Sandra smiled. “That’s the point. Don’t worry, I am sure I won’t be the only woman there without a bra or panties on. I suspect I would be the outlier if I wore underwear.”

Then Jason noticed the key hanging around her neck as she fixed her collar. He realized she was taking a piece of him with her, which made him smile for a moment and feel included. Still, he worried about the club’s environment, thinking about possible drugs, rowdiness, or other trouble. Even good nightclubs sometimes had problems, and these worries came back, leaving him tense and on edge.

Sandra read the concern on his face. “I’ll message you and let you know where I am. I’m sure it’ll be safe. Those places usually have security. I’m a little nervous, but even more excited. It’s been a long time since I went dancing.”

Jason asked, “When you text me, can you put a smiley face at the end so I know everything’s okay? If you sent one with a frown, I will come to get you.”

Sandra laughed and leaned in close, her voice dropping to a playful whisper. "You’re acting like a protective dad who's a bit too invested in his daughter's first date," she teased, her eyes full of mischief. "Or maybe you're just scared I'll have too much fun without you," she added, smiling slyly.

“That may be even worse,” Jason said with a sigh.

“Okay. I’ll send a smiley face,” she promised.

The doorbell rang, ending their conversation, and Jason answered it. A broad-shouldered Black man stood on the porch. He had long dreadlocks and a wide, warm smile—just like in his photo. Jason shook his hand, introduced himself, and welcomed him in. Jackson settled on the sofa, accepting the offered glass of wine. Jason poured himself a glass and joined Jackson.

“So, you own a nightclub?” Jason asked.

“Yes, on 53rd Street on the west side. I’ve been running it for a few years, and business is really picking up. I hear your wife is an attorney,” Jackson said.

“She is. She’s very good at it. She loves her job, even though it takes up a lot of her time,” Jason replied.

“So, do you work? I mean, outside the house,” Jackson asked.

“No, I guess you’d call me a househusband. It works for us,” Jason said.

“So, what’s your arrangement with your wife? Is it an open marriage?” Jackson asked.

“Well, we’re new to this and, uh… we’re trying out her, you know, dating.” Jason grew a little awkward.

“So, you don’t date?”

“No.” Jason left it at that.

Jackson nodded, and an awkward silence filled the room.

Sandra entered, breaking the tension. Jackson looked surprised as his eyes fell on her. She looked radiant and projected confidence. Jackson nearly leaped up from his seat.

Sandra smiled, walked over, and held out her hand. “You must be Jackson?”

“Yes, and you’re Sandra. It’s great to meet you.” Jackson kept looking at her.

“Are we going to your club tonight?”

“Yes, but if you’d rather go somewhere else, that’s fine too.”

“No, I haven’t danced in years. I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Great,” Jackson said with a big smile. “Shall we go?”

Sandra smiled, feeling a rush of excitement in her chest. She was sure Jason would be restless until she got home, probably checking his phone every few minutes. The thought filled her with pride, mischief, and excitement. His nerves made the night feel even more electric, giving her a sense of freedom from her usual routine. The promise of music, dancing, and new experiences made her feel alive. "Relax, Jason. I'll be late. Try not to miss me too much," she teased, enjoying the suspense and all the possibilities the night might bring.

A few minutes later, they left.

About 45 minutes later, Jason got his first message, which had a smiley face. “At the club. It’s an amazing place. I’ll be dancing all night,” Sandra wrote.

Jason felt a wave of relief, but it didn’t last. He kept worrying until Sandra was home safe, feeling even more anxious than before. He told himself that everything would be fine. Still, his stomach was in knots, and he couldn’t focus.

He got several more messages from Sandra, all saying she was having a great time.

Jason, dozing on the couch, woke at a phone ping at 3 a.m. The garage camera showed someone in the driveway. He sat up and checked the feed. A black SUV pulled in. To avoid attention, he’d turned off the outside lights. Their house was set back from the road with no close neighbors, but he was frustrated that he couldn’t see much.

Jason squinted at the screen, feeling a tense mixture of worry and curiosity about what he couldn’t see inside the car. The sight of the shapes sitting close together fed his unease, yet a flicker of excitement ran through him at the uncertainty. They were kissing he knew for sure.

A few minutes later, the driver’s door opened, and Jason saw Sandra in the passenger seat. Jackson got out and walked around the car to open Sandra’s door for her. She stepped out, swaying a little and clearly a bit tipsy. Jason switched to the porch camera and saw Jackson put his arm around Sandra, stabilizing her, and walking her up to the porch.

Jason switched to the doorbell camera. The black-and-white image etched their figures against the doorway, stark and almost ghostly. Jason watched, stunned, as Jackson stepped forward, took Sandra by the waist, and drew her close. They kissed fiercely. The sound of their lips meeting echoed vividly through the microphone, sharp in the night. The intimacy jolted Jason—a rush of anxiety tangled with jealousy and a pulse of excitement. Sandra, gazing briefly at the camera, wanted him to witness every charged second and feel it hit him. He felt torn—threatened by what he saw, yet undeniably aroused—aware this was only the beginning.

Sandra withdrew from her companion and offered a smile, feeling a delicious surge of confidence. As she slowly lowered her hand to the front of his slacks, the heat of his body radiated through the fabric, heightening her anticipation. Her palm pressed against the hardness straining his zipper, and a soft moan escaped her—driven by both the silky, expensive feel of his slacks beneath her skin and the electric excitement humming in her chest. She clearly felt the outline of his substantial, dark cock, thick and heavy, the evidence of his arousal pulsing beneath her fingertips. The slight musk of cologne, mingled with his masculine scent, captivated her senses and made her heart pound. Tiny sparks of excitement shot through her, and her nerves tingled as she traced him through the fabric, relishing the contrast between the cool material and the blazing heat beneath. He was big. The combination of desire and the forbidden made her tremble with exhilaration. She remembered her naughtiness at the club, uncertain if she would later reveal it to Jason, and savored the secret thrill.

“Impressive,” Sandra whispered. “May I see it?”

“Certainly,” he responded.

Jason did not miss the gesture and gasped at her audacity. He knew she would be shielded from the view of any late-night neighbors, yet she was still exposed on their doorstep. His breathing grew ragged, and he trembled with that potent admixture of jealousy and excitement. Then, he watched, mouth agape, as she slowly unzipped his trousers and slipped her hand inside. She kissed him again as she drew his engorged penis from his pants. Jason gasped at the sheer magnitude of his now burgeoning erection. It appeared even more substantial than the eight inches indicated on his profile, and it was not yet fully erect. He conceded that the dim lighting and the doorbell camera might be exaggerating its size. He had little time for contemplation as he observed Sandra squatting before her date. She looked up at him and took his cock into her mouth. Jason was compelled to close his eyes, fearing he might ejaculate in his cage.

Upon reopening his eyes, he witnessed his wife drawing his cock deep into her mouth. He heard her gag, yet she did not cease. He watched in astonished fascination as nearly his entire shaft disappeared into her mouth, descending her throat. He was now trembling with a surge of excitement.

A wave of profound satisfaction washed over Sandra as she felt his pubic hair against her lips and his balls against her chin. She possessed him entirely. Her proficiency at sucking cock had returned with remarkable swiftness. She withdrew momentarily and then took him deep once more. “

Damn, nobody has ever taken all of me. Damn,” Jackson declared.

Sandra moaned as she began to work on his cock, her head moving back and forth with a steady rhythm. She craved the taste of him. She cupped his testicles as she stroked his shaft. She felt his hand on her head and knew he was nearing his climax. She intensified her efforts, quickening the pace of her head movements and taking him deeper. As he moaned, she pulled back abruptly, unwilling to have him ejaculate down her throat; she desired to savor his cum. A moment later, his mouth began to fill with his huge release. She swallowed swiftly and, as was her custom, climaxed. Then again, as the next torrent entered her mouth. She continued to swallow rapidly as his sperm filled her mouth to the very brink of overflowing.

Finally, when he was finished, she let him pull away. She turned to face the doorbell camera and licked her lips, a string of stray cum, running to her lips before dropping to the porch.

Jason had to close his eyes again. She knew he was watching, and she had done it on purpose. When he opened them, Sandra was finishing cleaning him before putting him away. Then she stood and hugged him. A moment later, she walked into the house. Jason, naked as ordered, walked over to her. Her hair was mussed and her makeup a bit smudged, but she was still obviously excited and more than a bit tipsy. Her lips were wet, maybe intentionally, Jason thought. When she pulled him to her for a kiss, he didn’t hesitate and responded. He could immediately taste him on her lips, and when her tongue entered his mouth, he would have known what she did even if he hadn’t witnessed it. His mouth filled with the taste of his seed. In spite of his initial reluctance, he moaned and responded with his own tongue.

When they parted, Jason asked, “So how was the date?”

“It was wonderful again, but there were a few things that bothered me. I don’t think he’s a keeper. I’ll tell you about it, but right now, I need your mouth,” Sandra said as she led Jason to the sofa. She sat down, and Jason dropped to his knees. He knew what she wanted. Sandra’s skirt barely covered her pussy. She opened her legs wide. She was soaked and very swollen. With a moan, he started to lick her. Her hands went to the back of his head. It didn’t take long before she was climaxing multiple times.

When she had recovered, she began to tell him about her night. Still, she kept his head between her legs as he gently licked her.

“His club is amazing. Interestingly, it was all black men and almost all white women. Apparently, it is a well-known place for women who want to meet black men. Jackson and I danced a few dances when another man cut in. I was surprised when he didn’t protest. When that dance was done, another man approached me, and we danced a couple of times. A few dances later, I went back to the booth where Jackson was waiting.

“He smiled and asked if I had fun. Breathless, I told him yes. Then he took me to the dance floor. We stayed as a slow song was played. He held me, and after a few moments, I raised my lips to his, and we kissed passionately. My arms went around his neck, and his hands slipped down to hold my ass cheeks as we kept moving. I felt him get hard, and that excited me. When the song ended, we went back to the booth and sat together. We resumed kissing. He is a great kisser. Almost immediately, I felt him reaching for the buttons on my blouse. I moaned, not able to stop him as he opened my blouse. He pulled away and looked at them.

"'Gorgeous,' he said, and then leaned down and began to suck my nipple. Right there in the booth, he had both tits out and was sucking my nipples," Sandra said.

Sandra climaxed on Jason’s mouth again.

Jason pulled his now wet lips from between her legs and said, "I don't suppose there was anyone there that was going to tell him not to do it, including you."

"Nobody was going to, especially not me. I reached down and grabbed his swollen cock. I swear, if he had asked, I would have sucked him right then and there, but before I could, he got a call and excused himself. Leaving me on my own, but not for long. I saw Jackson with a couple of men, talking about what appeared to be business."

Jason pulled back and said, "That seems strange, don't you think?"

Sandra responded, "Very. Anyway, a few moments later, another guy came over and introduced himself. We sat in Jackson's booth and chatted, had a few more drinks, and then danced. This guy then led me back to the booth and excused himself. The moment he was gone, another man scooted into the booth. He was handsome and charming, and when a slow song came on, he invited me to dance. I shrugged, and since I was out for a good time, I went to the floor with him. He was a very good dancer, and by that time, I was starting to feel the drinks. When his hands slipped down to my ass, I pulled them back up, but a few moments later, he did it again. This time, I didn't try to stop him. I figured if Jackson didn't care, then neither did I. He fondled me for the remainder of the dance. I could feel his erection the entire time."

"It seems like you were being passed around," Jason said with concern.

"I was. But it was strangely exciting... so impersonal, like I was, I don't know, a prostitute. That should have upset me, but it didn't. I mean, it wasn't the first time I had felt that way. I went to a lot of football parties and... well, you know, I was very busy, and that excited me. I guess I was thriving on the attention. Anyway, I was still having fun. The music was pulsing, and so was the room. It was almost as if there were something in the air. Maybe it was all the pheromones that were being released, but people were getting very friendly. No offense to you, Jason, but I loved the attention from so many men, something I have been missing for a long time. Since college, actually. I suppose the slut in me started to come back because when this guy pulled my hand to his crotch, I didn't resist. He was hard. Then we went to the booth. And, Jason, I debated telling you this, but I don't want to have secrets. I actually opened his pants and took his cock out. I didn't resist when he pushed my head down. I actually sucked him off, right there in that booth in the club. He filled my mouth, and I swallowed everything, and I climaxed. I know I was bad, but the music, the drinks, and being surrounded by so many sexy men, I couldn't resist. I have to admit that I loved it."

“Honestly, at Jackson’s club, things are different. It seemed that there was an unspoken understanding that flirting and even sexual encounters are accepted, as long as you’re discreet and respectful. The atmosphere is bold and electric, a place where boundaries are blurred, and people are open about what they want. I saw I wasn’t the only one being naughty. Some women were openly flirting and had their hands inside the pants of their partner, right on the dance floor, and nobody seemed to mind. I saw a blonde in the booth across from us, sitting on the lap of a big black man. Her skirt was up, and it was obvious they were having sex. The place felt electric, like anything goes. It seems that being sexual isn’t frowned upon at Jackson’s club; it almost feels encouraged. People just enjoy the thrill and don’t judge.”

Jason's penis was pulsing in the cage again. He could almost picture Sandra in the booth sucking a stranger.

Jason’s voice was quivering when he said, “Did you... do... uh, anything else?”

Sandra smiled, almost embarrassed, and nodded her head. “I danced a couple more times, and one very handsome guy asked me if I wanted to get some air. I knew what he meant, and I went with him to a side door. In the alley was a limo. He pushed me up against it and kissed me. My knees almost buckled. When he opened the door of the limo, I shook my head. He smiled and said, ‘I saw you give that guy a blowjob. Will you do me, please?”

“You didn’t,” Jason said, his eyes wide.

Again, she nodded. “I couldn’t help it. He was so sweet. We got in, and he pulled his pants down to his knees. He was already hard, as it seemed so were every other guy in that club. The driver was in the front seat and could see us in his mirror. I didn’t care. I dropped my head and sucked him off. Then we casually went back inside, and I started dancing again with another guy. But that was it.”

“Do you think that someone put something in your drink?” Jason asked with concern.

“I don’t think so. I would have known. I didn’t feel weird or anything, just incredibly horny. Anyway, when Jackson came back, we had a couple more drinks and danced, but he seemed preoccupied,” Sandra said.

“Then he brought me home, and you know the rest.”

“So you uh... well uh, you did... uh,” Jason stammered.

Sandra knew what he was trying to say. “Yes, I sucked off three guys tonight, and it wasn’t the first time. But it has been a long, long time, and while I missed that, now, I only want one good one.”

Jason sighed in relief and said, “So, is Jackson out of the running?”

“I’m afraid so. I don’t think he is the kind of guy who will stick around. He’s a hustler. I wondered if he was actually dealing drugs. Plus, there are far too many white women in that club to entice him. So, let’s move on to the next one,” Sandra said.

"Okay. I’ll work on it, and we can discuss tomorrow,” Jason said.

“Now, let’s go to the bedroom where you can eat my pussy and then we can get some sleep,” Sandra said.

No matter what Sandra thought of Jackson, the evening had really turned her on. She had actually caressed quite a few erections, only two outside their pants. Now, with those thoughts running through her head, she was insatiable and climaxed multiple times before they both collapsed into a much-needed sleep.

Sandra was lying sprawled on the bed on her stomach, her hair tangled up on the pillow, her body showing the marks of her night at the club. She had obviously had many hands on her body last night.

He smiled as he remembered that at about sunrise, Sandra woke him again, wanting something different—something he enjoyed most. She turned over, offering herself to him. Jason eagerly spread her cheeks and used his tongue on her. Even though she was tired, she pushed back, lifting her hips to let him go deeper. The mix of sleepiness and the night’s memories dimmed her thoughts, but she underwent a silent surrender. Exposing herself so fully made her crazy with desire. She let him go, doing what he loved, as so did she. As his tongue worked his magic in her back passage, her pleasure built until she was moaning loudly. She began to lift he hips to his mouth, forcing his tongue deeper. She climaxed quickly, her body shaking, but Jason kept going. He didn’t get to spend this much time licking her ass, so he was going to make the best of it. He kept at it, making her come several more times. Each time left her feeling more elated, caught between exhaustion and happiness.

Through the rays of sunlight starting to slip between the curtains, he looked at Sandra lying on her stomach, her legs still spread, the wetness from his mouth still shining on her ass cheeks. He debated going to her again, but decided she had had enough, even if he hadn’t. He lay down beside her and fell asleep again.

Jason woke up again, and when he looked at the clock, it was 11:00 a.m. He got up, took a shower to clear his head, got dressed, and started making brunch in the kitchen.

About a half-hour later, Sandra came in.

She had showered and let her clean hair fall loosely around her shoulders, wearing her favorite white bathrobe. She looked tired but still had a glow, even without makeup. Her face was soft, but Jason could see a hint of embarrassment. He knew it was because she had let herself go at the club the night before.

Jason served her a cup of coffee and waited for her to speak.

“I guess I put you through a workout last night. But I really love how you take care of everything, both sides, so well. I can’t imagine anyone doing it better,” she said with a small smile.

Jason laughed. “I love it more than you do.”

She shook her head. “Not possible.” Then her face grew serious. "I feel a little embarrassed about losing control. Everything at the club just hit me all at once. The week was stressful, and seeing everyone else let loose made me do the same. When the music started, I just let go and got caught up in the moment. I usually keep myself in check, but not last night. I don’t show that side of myself very often, especially in public, and it makes me feel exposed."

She hesitated, looking down at her coffee and gripping the mug tighter. "Sometimes I worry what people would think if they saw me like that—just letting go and not caring about appearances or reputation. That’s not who I am anymore, but last night I didn’t care who was watching. Part of me feels ashamed because I know I crossed my own lines. But at the same time, I felt free, almost like I was back in college, wild and reckless, though it’s different now. There was a rush, but underneath it, I kept wondering if I was being careless or making a fool of myself. Even now, I feel nervous thinking about it. I love that you accept me, but I still worry I let you down." She paused, her voice softer. "I was even a little wild when I got home."

Jason sat at the table across from her. “I get it, but everyone needs to let off steam now and then. You deserve it. You work hard to take care of us, and I love being able to take care of you. It means a lot to me.”

“And I love you for that,” she said quietly. “But I still want to apologize for what happened at the club.”

“You don’t owe me an apology,” he said. “If anything, what happened showed me a side of you I only partly knew. You told me you were wild in college, but now I see how much you tried to hold that back after we met. You put your career and our marriage first. You hid a part of yourself.”

She started to say something, but stayed quiet.

He extended his hand to her and held it gently. “I’m not judging you. I love the woman I married, and I love who you are now even more. I respect that you did what you thought you had to do to succeed. Maybe you didn’t expect that other side of you to come back so strongly, or so soon. But I’m glad it did.”

“Really? You’re glad?” she asked in amazement.

“Yes. Honestly, I think you had a lot of pressure building up. These past months, you focused on me and helped me become a better man. That took a lot of effort. You made me see where I had gone wrong. I see now that focusing on me was your way of coping. It felt safe and controlled. But now I understand why that wasn’t enough.” Jason paused and took a long breath.

Sandra’s eyes opened a little wider, wondering where this was going.

Finally, he said, “I know what you need.... I suppose I have known it for some time. What you need now is a real lover, someone who lets you fully let go. Someone who can give you something I never could. Frankly, you need a big cock... a big black cock to be ‘fully’ satisfied. I understand that now. You gave up something you truly loved for me and your career. I love that about you.”

Sandra gasped in surprise.

Before she could answer, Jason went on. “At work, you have to keep up your professional image. But in private, with someone else, you can finally relax. It’s a change for me too, realizing my role is shifting from just being your partner and servant, to someone who helps you express your true self. It’s challenging and a little scary, but it’s also freeing. It makes me think about who I want to be in our relationship and how I can help us both grow and be happy. I love serving you in every way possible. I think I might have been pretending, but not anymore.”

Sandra looked at him, like she was seeing him for the first time.

“My God, Jason,” she uttered softly. “I knew you understood me, but you explained it better than I ever could.”

She got up and sat on his lap, hugged him, then kissed him hard. When she pulled away, her eyes were wet with tears.

“I knew you were right for me from the day we met,” she said. “I just didn’t realize how right. I love you so much.”

They held each other for a long time. She didn’t notice the small smile of total contentment on his face as he just held her and listened to her breathing.

When they let go, Jason spoke quietly but firmly. “I won’t fight your needs anymore. I’ll act as your teammate in this.”

“You haven’t been fighting me, or even pretending, whatever that means,” she said. “You’ve just been wondering where we were headed. That’s healthy. I love how you’ve grown beside me through this.”

Jason said, “When I think about the first five years of our marriage, I am ashamed. I was selfish. Aimless. I let you carry everything. Even if I had been more… capable…, been able to satisfy you, I don’t think it would have been enough. Your decision to take control saved us. I was abusing myself and now realize it. I was wasting my energy on porn and masturbation. I was not happy then, but I am now.”

She smiled as more tears ran down her cheeks.

“I think it was the other way around,” she said. “Finding you saved me from myself. Without you, I might have ruined everything chasing excitement.”

“I understand what you need now,” Jason said. “And I support it. That doesn’t mean I won’t feel jealous or insecure. I will. But I’ll deal with it.”

She brushed his face. “I like that you get jealous. It means you care. And yes, it excites me to know you feel that tension, or angst, as they call it. It wouldn’t be natural if you didn’t. I like the idea of you patiently, or impatiently, waiting for me to come home and tell you the story. With your all locked up tightly. I love telling you and reliving it. I love that you are sexually excited all the time for me, and can’t vent that excitement without me.”

He nodded gently. “We saved each other. Maybe that’s what a strong marriage really is.”

Sandra took a sip of coffee and pulled herself together. Then she went back to her seat.

Jason stood up. “Allow me to clean up the dishes while you get dressed. Then we can get back to finding you the right lover.”

She smiled as her last tears dried. Her face lit up. He wasn’t kidding; he really wanted her to take a lover now.

“Yes,” she said, excitedly. “Let’s.”

An hour later, they sat in Jason’s office with a stack of new folders on the desk, each individual a different option. They worked through them quietly, reading, making notes, and swapping files. When they compared thoughts, one name kept coming up.

Jason tapped the folder. “It’s weird, but this one stands out. Andre Tyson. Twenty-three. Minor league baseball player trying to break into the big leagues. Scouts say he’s talented but needs seasoning. He travels constantly, so he says he can’t keep a regular girlfriend. He’s upfront about wanting sex without attachments. And apparently, he has a thing for older women.”

Sandra raised an eyebrow. "He's definitely handsome and in great shape. I like that he doesn’t want attachments, but he’s so young, and I’m not sure he’s right for anything serious.”

She leaned back and traced her finger around her wine glass. The thought of being with someone so much younger made her heart race, both exciting and a little unsettling. Ten years was a big gap. It felt like entering a new world, where she might be seen as experienced and attractive, but also vulnerable in ways she hadn’t felt in years. She used to be the younger one, looking for approval, not the fantasy for a younger man. Now, things were different. Was he just after a fling or an older-woman fantasy? Would he compare her to women his own age and notice every difference?

Then, she imagined his inexperienced hands, maybe hesitating or maybe just going for it. It made her nervous about her body and getting older, and she wondered if she’d meet his expectations. Still, the risk was thrilling. Part of her liked being seen as sexy and mature, but she didn’t want to be just a label. That thought stung, but it also turned her on—she wanted to be valued for who she was, not just her age. She pictured the awkwardness of first touches, the surprise in his eyes if she took charge. Being the one with experience, the teacher, made her feel both nervous and excited. She bit her lip, feeling exposed and alive. Despite her worries, or maybe because of them, the risk felt good tonight.

Jason grinned. “Does it bother you that he is ten years younger?”

“I don’t know. Does that make me a cradle robber?”

“He’s an adult and old enough to decide for himself. If he thinks you’re too old, he’ll say no,” Jason said.

Sandra looked at the photo again. “There might be better options, but maybe I should give him a try and see what he’s like... just for fun. If he’s good enough, we can keep him as a backup in case the others don’t work out. He won’t be around much. He could be a pinch hitter.” She smiled, half joking. Still, the idea of meeting someone so much younger made her both nervous and excited. She wondered how his hands would feel, how he would look at her, and if he might surprise her. Underneath her joking, she felt her interest and excitement mounting.

“That sounds like a strategy, coach.” Jason joked. “So are you going to… You know?”
