Kim and I have been married for ten wonderful years. We were friends for a few years before we became lovers, and I think that made all the difference. We knew and liked each other before we ever got intimate. When we finally let ourselves go and made love for the first time it was life-changing. It was also the moment I knew, and she agrees that she knew, we were soul mates.

Our marriage was one of open honesty, and that is much more difficult to accomplish than one would think. Successfully married couples will tell you that communication is the key, but what they won’t tell you is that wives keep some things from their husbands and their husbands keep some things from their wives. Most wives won’t share with their husbands their dirty little fantasies about their brother-in-law. Just as the husbands won’t share their dirty little fantasies about the wives’ best friends.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Some things are better left unsaid. Things that a spouse never intended to follow through on and that would only hurt their spouse’s feelings if they knew. Fantasy is all fun and games because it’s fantasy and the rules don’t apply. Reality? Now that is another thing entirely. The average couple faced with the opportunity to fuck someone outside their marriage will seldom seriously consider following through with it. Monogamy has been ingrained for their entire lives and moving outside of that is where the dangerous things are. Things that end marriages.

Kim and I worked hard at being open and honest with each other. I’m sure I’ve had random fantasies during the day that I forgot as quickly as they popped into my head, but that’s a guy thing in my opinion. Guys fantasize a lot. I know that Kim does as well. The difference is that hers are much more nuanced and thoughtful. She latches onto an idea and fleshes out the full story. For her, it’s about the seduction more than the act. That said, she can be very descriptive about the sex and the differences from our normal lovemaking that she finds exciting. Things I’m very dutiful about integrating into our sex life.

Sharing our fantasies has helped keep the spice in our bedroom. A couple can fall into a sexual rut after ten years of marriage. Fortunately for Kim and me, our ruts have been shallow and short. I love to touch her, excite her, and make her orgasm over and over again. She has never been shy about showing how much she loves sex with me. She doesn’t suck my cock as an obligatory step to the main event. She loves to suck my cock and we have spent many an evening with her head in my lap while we watched TV. She would gently caress my cock and occasionally lick it or suck it deep into her mouth. The constant tease and build-up drive us both crazy.

We were snuggling in bed and I was trying to get a feel for her mood. It was my typical, Does she seem interested or is she tired? Of course, after this many years together we both knew the signs. Subtle movements on her part were all it took to express her need for sex, or sleep. I still went through my mental exercise for two reasons. The first is that I loved to make love to my wife. I love to watch her let herself go and totally commit to the ecstasy. The second, and just as important reason is that I never want to take her for granted. I study her moods, her body language, and her gestures, and I analyze her words. I do that not because I have trust issues, but because she fascinates me. She has gifted me with the greatest love of my life and I want to be the best husband I can be. I have to pay attention to be the best.

This night, my thoughts of sex were washed away quickly. Something was heavy on her mind. I let her think about it for a while, knowing that she would talk when she was ready. This night was odd though. She was much more hesitant than her personality would usually allow. Kim is a strong, beautiful, and intelligent woman. She isn’t shy about sharing her thoughts and normally doesn’t hesitate to share everything with me. I was growing concerned and decided to give her a nudge to get her going.

“Kim, there is obviously something preying on your mind. Please, just start talking and we’ll go from there.”

Still, she hesitated for several minutes before finally letting out a sigh and turning in my arms to face me. “There was an office-wide announcement today. Shawn is leaving the company. He’ll be moving to the West Coast to take over a subsidiary as CEO.”

I waited. I knew there was more coming. Shawn had been the subject of several fantasy conversations between us. He was a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, hunk of a man that had most of the women in her office swooning. He was unmarried and very eligible, yet his reputation at the office was sparkly clean. If he ever had an office romance nobody found out about it.

Shawn didn’t want a random affair with one of the office girls. He had set his sights much higher. He wanted Kim and made no bones about it. I’d met the guy on several occasions and he’d always treated me with respect, but he didn’t try to hide his attraction to Kim. Kim had been right up front with him that she hid nothing from me and there was no way in hell that she would ever have an affair with him. That didn’t stop him from trying. She told me every time that he did.

The announcement that he was leaving should have thrilled me, but instead, I felt a tightening in my chest. I had the feeling I was about to hear something I didn’t want to. The thing is that Kim has been keeping a secret from Shawn. She does in fact find him very attractive. His attempts to seduce her do turn her on, though she has so far successfully made him think she’s immune to his ardor. My heart was hammering in my chest as I waited for her next words.

She was having trouble meeting my eyes as she continued. “He has to fly to Chicago on Wednesday to do the final training on his project and will fly out to LA on the Sunday following.”

She hesitated for a minute and I gave her the time she needed to collect her thoughts. “He needs someone to help with the training and keep things organized. He asked me to go. I told him I would talk to you, and if you approved, then I would go. I would fly out with him on Wednesday and would come home on Sunday evening.”

My hand squeezed her shoulder. “You would have training on the weekend?”

She looked at me fearfully. “No.”

I did my best to leave my face expressionless. “Tell me the rest, Kim. Don’t torture me.”

Her hand came up to touch my face and I fought to keep from flinching. I knew what my wife was going to tell me and I don’t think she’s ever made me more hurt and afraid. She looked at me with such love that it confused the hell out of me. “Understand me, husband. You are my life, my love, my everything. He is none of those things. I don’t have romantic feelings for him. He’s a fantasy on two feet and I would like to experience that. Not because you are less than what I need. You are more than I could have ever dreamed of. I don’t have to have this, but I want this if you can find a way to allow me. He’ll be leaving on Sunday, and I, we, will never see him again. I would like your permission to be with him before he leaves.”

An involuntary tear leaked from my eye. “Is this the end of us, Kim? Am I losing you?”

She threw her arms around my neck. “Never, baby, never. I love you with all my being. If you don’t want me to be with him I won’t. It’s something I really want, but I won’t hurt you, hurt us, to get it.”

My mind was in turmoil and I couldn't find words for the longest time. “I need to think about this.”

She kissed my cheek. “I know honey and I’m sorry to spring this on you, but I had no control over the timing. I have to let him know in the morning so they can arrange our flight.”

I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the living room. I sat back on the couch in the dark room, unable to wrap my heart around her request. I don’t know how long I sat there, but at some point, she joined me. She sat down on my lap, saw the tears on my face, and started to cry. I held her close as she wept against me until she finally could speak. “Ben, I’m so sorry I hurt you. I never meant to. We talked about Shawn a lot and I thought you would either get into the fantasy of it or be adamant in your refusal. I love you with all my heart and I’m so sorry. It isn’t that important so, let’s just forget it. Will you forgive me, please?”

I held her tight against me. I felt like a weak selfish ass. Yes, she’s my wife and I had every right to be upset and concerned, but what had she really done? She came to me and told me what she wanted. She didn’t demand anything and didn’t hide anything. She could have easily gone on the trip without telling me anything but that it was necessary for work. She could have hidden it from me and easily gotten what she wanted, but she didn’t. She took the chance and told me, knowing that my likely answer would be “Hell no!”

She asked a question that a husband never wants to hear in the best way possible. I knew that she was sincere in her regret for hurting me. In her mind, he wasn’t a threat to our marriage. He was at best a sex fantasy made real for a few days, then gone. I think any caring man would feel that some failure on his part led to such a question and I wasn’t immune. “Kim, is there something you need that you aren’t getting from me?”

Her head was nestled against my neck as she whispered. “Never my love. You give me everything, in bed and out. I’m a selfish bitch for even asking you. I’m so very sorry. I’ll tell him I’m not going tomorrow. It’s not worth causing you pain.”

I didn’t say anything until I got her tucked back in bed. “I love you with all my heart, Kim. Go to sleep. I’m okay, but I’m not ready to sleep just yet.”

I sat on the bed and watched as she slipped off to sleep, then wandered back to the living room. She found me sitting there in the morning. She was dressed for work and looked exceptionally beautiful to me. She was shocked to see me, “Oh my god, honey! Have you been up all night? I thought you had already left for work.”

I stood and walked over to her. “Sorry about your makeup.”

She looked at me puzzled then I felt her smiling lips as mine met hers. I kissed her with longing, passion, and love. I kissed her thoroughly and deeply. When I was done she was breathing hard and her makeup needed some work.

I looked into her eyes. “You are my most precious treasure. Your love and happiness are everything to me.”

I choked a little with what I said next. “Being with Shawn is something that would make you happy and if you didn’t do it you would always wonder how it could have been. In the end, keeping you from this would drive something between us. You would always know that I didn’t trust you enough or love you enough to let you have this experience.

“I’ll be honest, Kim. This scares me. I’m afraid of so many things that could go wrong and what our life will be like when it’s over, but I love you too much to hold you back. If you really want to be with him during your trip, then you have my permission. I’ll be right here when you get home.”

~~~~~{}~~~~~

I called the office and took a sick day. I was exhausted mentally and physically. I meandered around the house in a daze for a while before exhaustion drove me to bed. I don’t remember falling asleep. Sounds in the house woke me and I rushed downstairs to see who was in our house.

I went into the kitchen as Kim and her best friend Abbie walked in. Kim had bags from Victoria’s Secret and a few others from boutiques I had heard of but never shopped at. We all jumped when I entered the room.

Kim gave me a nervous smile. “Hi, Babe. I was told to take the day off since I’m working the weekend.”

Abbie grinned, “We went shopping for her trip!”

I nodded. “Yeh, I see that.” I left the room before Kim could see the tears forming. I took a shower and was pulling on my boxer briefs when Kim came into the room. “I’m sorry Dan, but I have to go. I didn’t know you were going to be home and I made an appointment.”

Naturally, I was curious. “Appointment for what?”

She blushed, “At the spa.”

She was preparing herself for him and it nearly crushed me. “Oh… Okay. When do you leave?”

“Tomorrow morning. I’m being picked up by the company driver at seven.”

I nodded and she turned to leave, went out the bedroom door, and almost caught me breaking down when she suddenly ran back in. She ran over to me, leaned down, and kissed me. “I love you, Dan. Now and always. I won’t do this if it makes you sad. I can’t do this if it hurts you.”

I nodded. “I admit it’s hard. Seeing you preparing for him, buying new lingerie for him, it hurts because you’ve never done anything like this for me. I feel like you are moving on to someone new. Then I think I’m just being a selfish prick.

“Can you put yourself in my place for a moment? What if it was me getting ready to spend days with another woman? Suddenly I’m going out of my way to dress just right, look just right, and be as attractive as I can be, for someone else. Please believe me honey when I tell you that I want this for you because it will make you happy and give you a fantasy made real. I just don’t like feeling I’m being left behind not only physically, but in your life.”

Her face was wracked with emotion as she looked at me. “I will never, ever leave you behind. You are always in my heart and I will return to you. I promise.”

She looked away. “I have thought about being in your shoes. I think about it constantly and I know that this is all so unfair to you. I’m asking you to let me be with another man and all you get is waiting for me to come home. It isn’t fair, or good for us, that you suffer so I can live a fantasy. I know the gift you are giving me and what it is costing you. I don’t know how I will ever be able to give you anything near that value, but I will spend the rest of my life trying. Now, tell me, Dan. Do I go or do I stay?”

I managed to smile. “You have to go. That’s the only path forward now. If you don’t, it will be a shadow hanging over us until it tears us apart. When you go, I risk losing losing you, for the best chance at keeping you. It’s a no-brainer.”

Kim kissed me softly. “I’ve never felt so loved or loved someone the way I love you. I’m sorry, babe but I have to go.”

She stood and ran her hand through my hair before turning and walking out of the bedroom. I sat and tried desperately to get my brain to accept that my wife was going to have sex with another man, not just once, but over days. I was terrified.

I was rapidly getting myself worked up when I heard a knock at the bedroom door. I looked up startled to see Abbie standing in the doorway. “Oh, hey Abbie. I didn’t know that you were still here.”

She moved toward the bed. “Dan, can we talk for a bit?”

Please don’t tell me Kim’s been having an affair and is leaving me for Shawn. Please don’t.“ Ah, sure.”

She sat down next to me and took my hand. “Kim told me about her trip. Everything about it. Dan, I…I think you are the most wonderful husband on the planet. I know Kim feels that way too. Dan, you have to believe me when I say Shawn is just a fantasy. He doesn’t have her heart and he never will. She loves you with all her heart and she will come home to you.”

I shrugged. “When she comes home how can things ever be the same? How can she settle for me when she’s had her fantasy man? I’m agreeing to this because there is a slim chance our marriage will survive. If I refused her I don’t think it would. I’m not agreeing because I’m some fucking wonderful husband. I’m agreeing because I’m selfish and I want to keep her.”

Abbie squeezed my hand. “I’m sure you’ve asked her to think about this from your perspective, but have you looked at it from hers?”

I was confused. “How would I do that? Having sex with Shawn doesn’t do a thing for me.”

Abbie chuckled. “No, dumbass. OK, for example, what about you and me?”

I’ll admit I was stunned. Stunned and intrigued. Abbie had been my wife’s best friend since before we were married. She was Kim’s Maid of Honor at our wedding. We’ve always gotten along well, extremely well actually. She’s funny, smart, and beautiful. Kim is well aware of how attracted I am to her friend and she is also well aware that I would never do anything about it.

Abbie was watching my face. “Think about it. What if you and I had Kim’s permission to spend five days together exploring our desire for each other? You do desire me don’t you Dan? I know I’ve fantasized about you for years. I swear Kim shares stuff with me just to get me horny. She has me very curious about certain anatomical features on your strong, muscular body.”

I looked at her curiously. “This isn’t just speculation is it?”

“No.”

I was suddenly angry. “Did Kim ask you to do this?”

Her thumbs caressed my brow and immediately calmed me. “No dumbass, I asked her.”

I’ll admit that over the last day and a half, I had been stunned a lot, and I was again, “What did Kim have to say about that?”

Abbie smiled, “Her exact words were, “It took you long enough to ask. I’ve been expecting you to for years.”

“Yeh, I had the same look you have when she said that. I asked her what her answer would have been if I had asked her years ago and she said it would have always been yes. She said that she loves us and it would make her happy to know that we enjoyed each other.”

“You saw the bags she carried in this afternoon. More than half of them are mine. I’m taking vacation time starting tomorrow and won’t go back to work until Monday. I would hate to spend it alone.”

She leaned in and kissed my lips. The tip of her tongue caressed my lip, then she kissed my cheek, before moving her mouth next to my ear. She gave my ear a little nip with her teeth. “Think about it. Talk to Kim. She’ll let me know what you decide.”

She gave me a serious look. “But know this mister. I want you. I want your hard cock in me. I want your mouth on my aching pussy. I want you to fuck me and make me scream. When I play with myself I always think of you and I have for years. You’re giving Kim her fantasy. Please give me mine.”

She stood and smiled down at me. “Now if you will pardon me, I have an appointment at the spa. I do have a question though. Do you like bush, landing strip, or a fully bald pussy?”

“la-la-landing str-strip.”

She winked and left. I decided I should exercise my brain a bit and look at things from Kim’s point of view.

There is quite a contrast between Kim and Abbie. My Kim is five-foot-nine and it seems like most of it is her amazing legs. Her long brown hair frames a full and beautiful face with big green eyes, a pert nose, and full lips. Her breasts are firm and upturned C-cups and her ass is taught and round. She has a two-finger gap between her legs and the most perfect pussy I’ve ever seen.

Abbie stands at maybe five-foot-two and has the build of a gymnast who’s a bit top-heavy. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, a pixie-like nose, and full kissable lips round out the sweetest face I’ve ever seen. Her C-cups grew in, ending her gymnastics career, but kicking off her cheerleading. Something she had done through college. She’s one of the happiest people I’ve ever met and her constant teasing and flirting over the years has convinced me that she’s got to be a firecracker in bed.

Was I excited at the prospect? Absofuckinglutely! Did that change my apprehension about Kim and Shawn? Not for a fucking second. The reality was that instead of going down one very dangerous path, we were now considering going down two.

Kim made it home from the spa four hours later and I took her out for a romantic dinner. I was going to do everything I could before she left to fill her mind full of good memories of us. Dinner was amazing and she looked so very beautiful it took my breath away. We’d just finished dessert and were enjoying a brandy when I brought up Abbie. “I had an interesting conversation with Abbie after you left for the spa.”

Kim looked at me with interest. “Do tell.”

“She wants to be with me while you’re with Shawn and was pretty clear that you approve.”

Kim smiled gently, “She’s telling the absolute truth. I’ve seen the attraction you two have for each other and I’ve thought for years that you would enjoy being with each other. I love you both and I think it would make you both happy to have sex. All either of you ever needed to do was ask… She’s in love with you, you know.”

Here I go again, stunned. “What!? No, that’s not right. She’s wonderful and you know I love her, but not like love-love. That’s only for you and could only ever be you.”

Kim reached out and took my hand. “She does love you and has for years. She loves us both so much that she never once tried to get you in bed. Trust me, if she set her mind to it, you would be hard-pressed to resist her. I don’t want you to resist her. I think it would be a wonderful experience for both of you. She would never deliberately hurt you and you would never deliberately hurt her. I trust the love you both have for me enough that I want to share you with her.”

I shook my head in confusion. “But, you said she’s in love with me. How do you think having sex with me for days will affect her? Do you think she’ll just walk away afterward without a care in the world? I don’t want to hurt her, or you. As enticing as it is, I don’t know that I want to risk the damage that could be done if we were to have sex.”

Kim gave me a gentle smile. “Sweetheart, she’s been in love with you for years and the only one suffering is her. I guess I’m not making myself clear. I’ve thought about this for years. I’ve run through thousands of scenarios in my head while waiting for one of you to ask so, it’s all clear to me. I love you and I love Abbie. She loves both of us and I think you love her more than you are willing to admit. I think your feelings for her are walled up behind your fear of losing me. I’m telling you that you’ll never lose me because of Abbie. Over the years the relationship between the three of us has grown and I want to take the next step. The three of us, in love, and seeing where it goes.”

That was a revelation if I’d ever heard one. “How much of this have you talked to Abbie about?”

She grinned and nudged me. “Relax, I know where your mind just went and the answer is a resounding ‘No’. Abbie and I haven’t been plotting this out. We never discussed this subject until today and then, only after she asked me if she could be with you. I told her what I just told you. It was the first time I can remember ever seeing her speechless. We ended up crying in happiness and hugging each other. We made quite the scene in the restaurant.”

She paused. “There is something I need from you whatever happens tomorrow.”

“What’s that my love?”

“I need you to take me home and make love to me. I need your closeness, I need your love, and I need you to promise that you will take me back on Sunday and love me forever.”

I stood and took her hand. “Will you promise me the same?”

She kissed me in front of the entire restaurant. “Without reservation.”

The drive home took forever, then we were stumbling and bumbling our way to the bedroom while trying to get each other naked. We threw ourselves onto the bed and went at each other with desperate hunger. I fought thoughts of tomorrow away and focused my soul on pleasing my wife. I might not be able to control the next five days, but I’d be damned if I wasn’t going to go out fighting.

I don’t remember ever feeling so much passion while making love to Kim as I did that night. I put my very soul into our coupling and I felt that she did as well. As we nestled together in the sweaty aftermath Kim grabbed her phone and made a call. “Hey Abbie, can you come over now? I don’t want him to be alone in the morning… No, you are not sleeping in the guest room. You’re sleeping with us. Now, get off the phone and get your ass over here.”

Half an hour later Abbie was settled on my other side. She gave a soft sigh of contentment as we drifted off to sleep. I was restless most of the night and got up very early. Seven came way too soon. Kim looked amazing as she stood in the doorway and gave me a kiss goodbye. I started to help her with her bag, but Shawn exited the car and beat me to it. The smile she gave him nearly broke my heart. I watched them drive away and closed the door with tears in my eyes. Abbie was suddenly right there. “Dan, she loves you and you know it. Think about the wonderful gift you’ve given her and believe that she will come home to you.”

She hugged me and I practically crushed her in my arms. She tilted her head back and looked into my eyes, “I know just the thing to occupy your mind, good sir. Follow me, please. I want me some of that big dick.”

Kim

I was relieved that Shawn gave me some space on the drive to the airport. This was much harder than I expected. There was no doubt that I was drawn to Shawn. There was sexual energy between us that was very hard to resist. I had resisted though for years because I made a promise to my husband. I would have continued to resist indefinitely if it weren’t for Abbie.

I had given up on Abbie ever acting on her feelings for Dan. Her loyalty is an admirable quality but presented a substantial roadblock. I needed to get her moving and Shawn’s request that I go with him gave me a way to do that. I’m not altruistic. I was getting to live out a fantasy and were it not for Dan, I would be giddy with excitement.

I was worried about Dan. I knew that this was costing him emotionally. My hope was focused on Abbie and him finally sharing their feelings for each other. That would make the cost worth it. The last few days made me feel like the lowest creature on earth. I wanted so much to call the whole thing off, but I didn’t. I told myself I was doing it for Dan and Abbie, but the reality is I was doing it just as much for myself. I’m not normally a selfish person, but right now I was feeling selfish, and guilty, as hell.

The die has been cast. The moment I walked out our front door I was committed to the path I had chosen. I fought the urge to call Dan and focused on making small talk with Shawn. The man is beautiful and can be very distracting. His big blue eyes captured me and took my thoughts away from the troubling place they had been.

The flight was spent talking and growing more intimate. We arrived at the hotel and checked at the desk for our separate rooms. Mine was a single king bed, while he had a suite. We got onto the elevator together, passed the floor for my room, and continued to his floor. We dragged our suitcases inside his suite and let the door close behind us. I never once stepped foot into the room registered in my name.

I didn’t get the chance to start thinking about Dan and Abbie again. Shawn wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, then suddenly his lips were on mine and I let it all go. Our kiss quickly became heated and his tongue entered my mouth. My hands were running over his muscular chest as his hands grabbed my ass and pulled me against the hard bulge in his pants.

His mouth found my neck and goosebumps ran down my arms. He let go of my ass with one hand and used it to start unbuttoning my dress. He broke off kissing me long enough to unbutton it to the bottom, then spread it apart, revealing the new bra and thong I had purchased for him. He held my dress apart and studied my body, “My god, Kim, you’re stunning!”

I didn’t have time to respond before his mouth met mine again. Moments later my bra and thong were on the floor and he was carrying me to bed. He laid me down and I watched as he slowly undressed for me. His body is amazing, so athletic and defined. His body is totally hairless and his skin gleams as the muscles flex and roll. My eyes are glued to his crotch when he drops his trousers to the floor. He came prepared to reveal himself to me. He’s not wearing underwear and his cock is fully erect and pulsing.

His cock is magnificent, big, and thick. The curve is perfect and I reach out to grasp it as he climbs onto the bed. I wrap my hand around him and pull him gently. He knows what I want as he knee-walks to me. I bring his amazing cock to my mouth and lick the drop of precum from the head before sliding him into my mouth. His velvety smooth hardness caresses my tongue and I can’t help but moan a little as I suck his cock.

He lets me suck him for a while as his fingers stroke my pussy and rub my clit. I’m so wet that I can feel it dripping down my crack and I can’t get enough of sucking his cock. When he pulls it away I frown at the loss.

He doesn’t give me time to morn. His mouth begins working my nipples and he’s amazing at it. The perfect amount of pressure from his teeth, his tongue caressing my nipple, and his hand on my pussy are driving me insane with need. I want him in me, but he’s not ready for that yet. He kisses his way torturously slowly down my body and I’m ready to scream when his mouth finally connects with my needy pussy.

His technique was a perfect combination of tongue and fingers bringing me ever higher and closer until I was grabbing his head with both hands and cumming all over his face. I was still working my way through my orgasm when he began to push his big cock into me. God, he filled me so well and it seemed like my orgasm would never end. Our mouths met and our tongues clashed and thrashed together. He stroked deep and hard into me and I thrust my pussy at him because I needed him as deep as possible.

Our lust for each other drove us to our perfect rhythm. His cock long stroking deep into me and sending pulses of pleasure through my body. The curve of his cock was perfect for sliding his glans across my g-spot on every stroke of his wonderful cock. Higher and higher we climbed until he slammed deep into me and his cock swelled. The orgasm that overwhelmed me was taken to a higher impossible level when I felt his hot cum hitting my cervix.

We kissed deeply in the afterglow, his slowly shrinking cock still inside me. I wanted him in me for as long as possible. Our kiss continued now as a way to say ‘You made me feel wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.’ At some point ‘Thank you’ became ‘I want you again’ and his cock began to grow within me. We fucked slowly this time. Long and easy strokes of his big cock gradually brought us toward another wonderful orgasm. He filled me again and this time I let him pull out and lay next to me.

We lay there in silence for a few minutes. I didn’t let myself bask in it. I was afraid of where my mind would go and I didn’t want to ruin this perfect moment. I rolled toward him and kissed him. “That was amazing and I can’t wait to do it again.”

The look in his eyes worried me a little. He looked too serious about what should be a fun fuck. His hand came up and stroked my cheek. “You are magnificent Kim. Simply magnificent. I dreamed of this day, but never truly believed it would ever happen. I’m going to do everything I can to make the next few days wonderful for you… But duty calls. We have an opening meeting to attend in less than an hour.”

We allowed ourselves another long kiss. I took my shower first because I didn’t trust us together. The last thing we needed to do was get people wondering about us by showing up late for our meeting. Discretion was the word of the day. I wanted my life back after Sunday. This was fun, but not worth losing sight of the real goal.

I checked my phone while Shawn showered and saw that Abbie had texted me. I opened it anxiously. This text would determine if things were working out, or if I was getting on a plane and rushing home.

Abbie

Wednesday 11.02 AM

I don’t have words for how amazing I feel right now. He’s focusing on me most of the time but he worries about you a lot. Be safe. Come back to us. We love you.

The relief that rushed through me left me nearly breathless. I hadn’t realized how scared I was that I had ruined everything. I knew that I still could, but at least now I knew that Dan and Abbie had made love. They had finally connected as a couple. Now they needed to let themselves love each other. I was confident that they would. I just hoped there was a place for me with them after Sunday.

The smile I gave Shawn as we walked to the door was genuine. Things were moving under their own power now and there was little I could do to affect them. It was time to let go of the worry and live in the moment. We settled into our new normal by conducting a great seminar and attacking each other every chance we could. We had planned to spend the afternoon in bed on Friday. The training had been completed in the morning and the attendees were all on their way home. Our plans changed.
