"Damn him!" I muttered under my breath. This was the third night in a week he was out. I know we agreed to have an open marriage, but I hadn't planned on his girlfriends taking over his life. Russ, my husband, kept suggesting that I get a boyfriend so that I could relax a little. I was all for it, but that was much easier said than done foe me. Russ had friends that were single and party animals. They were constantly hooking him up. My friends were all either married or in serious relationships. None of them approved of our situation. They all thought it was immoral.
Maybe this whole open marriage thing wasn't such a good idea after all. What good was it when only one of you got to have any fun? I mean, let's face it, I was getting absolutely nothing out of this. It was supposed to be fun. A way to break out of the monotony and stress of a bad marriage and just let lose however, and with whoever, I wanted. Obviously, I did not think this all the way through before agreeing to it.
I decided to put the whole thing out of my mind for now. It wouldn't do any good to sulk around and make myself miserable. I put on some music with a slow, sexy beat that was perfect for getting in the mood. I then slipped into a pair of silky jammies, poured a glass of white wine, and broke out my favorite erotica novel. If I couldn't have a real man, I may as well have a fantasy one, right?
I had just reached my favorite part of the book. The main character was tied to the bed while her would-be lover worshipped her pussy with his mouth. Thinking about her being helpless to do anything but succomb to the onslaught of his tongue was always a huge turn on for me. I had just reached down and started stroking myself when I heard a knock at the door. I tried to ignor it, but whoever was there was persistant. Annoyed by the interruption, I stomped to the door and flung it open. There stood Joshua.
Joshua had been friends with Russ for years. I've always liked him "in that way". He had dark blue eyes, strong facial features, and a sensuous mouth I've fantasized more than once about nibbling on. Both Russ and Josh knew how I felt. It was no secret. Russ liked to tease me about it - in front of Joshua! He even went as far as to suggest that Josh should be the guy to go for. I heard rumors that he felt the same about me but I didn't quite believe them. I felt that if he wanted to make a move on me he would have done it by now.
"Sorry, hon, Russ isn't here. He's out with his newest little fuck-buddy. If you want, I can tell him you came by." I offered. He just smiled his wide, sexy smile and shook his head.
"I know he's not here. I just called him and he said he was out for the night. I thought you could use some company." I shrugged and let him in. Despite my casual demeanor, my stomach was doing flip-flops. He was here for me!? He took a quick glance around the room and smiled teasingly at me.
"Looks like you had yourself quite a night planned," he said and winked in my direction. Embarassed, I swiped up my book and threw it back on the bookshelf. When I moved to the stereo to turn off the music, he stopped me. "No, leave it on. I like this song."
