Nieve and I were both exhausted by the time I got home, and the next few nights were no better. By Friday, however, work had let up a bit. I was home at a reasonable hour, much to the happiness of my wife. Over a glass of wine I made my move.
"Want to go out tomorrow night, love?"
"Yes!" Her enthusiasm was immediate. "What did you have in mind?"
I looked at my beautiful wife. Dark hair, bright eyes, and an amazing body. Even after fourteen years of marriage and three children I wanted her. Why had I let Lacey take her out, rather than doing it myself? That question answered itself: because I wanted her, but I also wanted more. I wanted to see her lose herself for me. I wanted to see this beautiful woman completely abandoned to lust.
She'd always been a good girl, a shy little slip that blushed easily and often. I'd been her first kiss, taken her virginity. I'd seen her eyes closed in ecstasy how many times? What more did I want?
I wanted to see her be bad. A crystal clear memory hit me: the sight of her sucking my cock, then her first taste of cum. More of that.
And how far would I go? At least as far as letting Lacey corrupt my innocent wife a bit, apparently.
"Honey? You still here?" She giggled. "You spaced out a little there."
"Yeah, sorry. I was thinking about you in your new dress. Let's go out someplace nice, you can wear it. And then I can take it off when we get home."
"Ooh! Yes, please!" Followed by some very nice kisses.

The next night as we were getting ready, I snuck up behind her as she was doing her hair. Well, 'snuck up' was a bit strong, since she could see me approach in the dresser mirror. Nonetheless she played along, pretending to be surprised when I kissed her bare shoulder. She leaned into me with a soft sigh.
"We're not going to make it to the restaurant at this rate."
"Mmm." I ran my hands over her body. "You look so good in this dress."
"Thank you," she whispered as I continued to caress her curves. "I still feel a little self-conscious in it. I mean--oh god--you can see everything."
"Not everything," I said, my hand now on her thigh. "Some things are just for me. Aren't they?" Hitching up her hem.
"Yesss...." Letting her legs be spread a little. As I stroked her thigh higher, nearer to her heat, I remembered what Lacey had told me (and what Nieve had omitted to share). Thirty seconds was a long time to let someone you'd just met touch you intimately. Was she remembering it too right now, as I played with her? My hand reached the leghole of her panties, and I slipped my finger underneath.
"Hey, love? I have a request for tonight."
"A-anything." My wandering hand had found her cleft and was running up and down it, feeling the warmth and slight moisture. "Oh GOD!"
I had reached up and pulled her panties down to her knees. She'd shaved her legs in preparation for tonight, and they felt like silk. "Anything."
"Anything...." She twitched as I slipped them down to her ankles. "Love?"
"This is what I want," I said, and she raised one foot, then the other, letting me take them all the way off. There was a long moment where I simply listened to her ragged breath. Did she even understand what I was asking?
"You want me to go out... like this."
"That's right."
"It feels like that might be--might be a little wicked?"
I caressed her bare ass. "Not wicked. Just naughty. Wicked will have to wait until we get home." I kissed her thigh.
"Oh god. Love, please... I don't know."
"I do. This is what I want, love." I could feel her body release some of its tension as she gave in.
"Okay. Just this once! Perv."
"Good girl," I said.

The car ride to the restaurant was quiet. Nieve shifted frequently, rubbing her bare legs together (I had vetoed hose) as if testing a new sensation. Every so often her hand would stray to her lips. It was all quite distracting, and I was glad when we finally arrived. I helped her out of the car.
"Oh my god. I can't believe you made me do this. No one can tell, right?"
"Not without a very close inspection."
"Thanks. You look nice."
I kissed her as we walked up to the restaurant. "Not as nice as you." And then stole another kiss while I held the door open for her. The hostess was not quite able to suppress her smile as she led us to our table.
I did not set out with the intention of getting Nieve drunk. But we started with bubbles. And then got a bottle of red to go with our entrees. And the waiter was assiduous about keeping her glass full.
We chatted about everything we hadn't had a chance to tell each other during the week. With work as demanding as it had been, this was a lot. She told me about her sister's new sewing project, the neighborhood wives' group, and Kay's upcoming acting debut in a school play. I told her a stripped down version of the case I was working on. We smiled and laughed. She flirted with me, and I flirted back like married couples do when they have the chance. Dessert came.
"This," she said around a mouthful of genuinely decadent chocolate mousse, "Is DELICIOUS. Thank you sooo much, honey!" She was a little flushed and looked stunning.
"Isn't it? How are you feeling? Not too chilly, I hope?"
She giggled, turning even redder. "Easy breezy!"
"Glad to hear it." I reached across the table. "There's something I want."
"Anything." As she said it I saw her eyelids flicker, like the word itself had some power over her.
Alea iacta est. "I want a picture."
"Of us? That sounds nice. Something to remember this date by."
"No. Well, yes, actually. Let's do that first." I stood up and moved over to crouch beside her. She took out her phone and, laughing, took several shots. I returned to my seat.
"Okay, but it sounded like you had something else in mind too?" Her eyes were sultry, the lids half-shuttered.
"I want a picture of you. Like the ones you've been sending me when you go out without me."
"Oh." She whispered, "Is that why you had me... um, go out like this?"
"Partly. Also, you're unbelievably beautiful when you blush." What would my cute wife do now that I'd made my request? I was braced for embarrassment, even anger.
"Hmm, I don't know," she said, putting one finger to her lips as if thinking. She was teasing me! "What's in it for me?"
