This chapter is in a fictitious setting, but what happens to the character Jordan, pretty much happened to me almost exactly as described. I am and artist and that got me into to some pretty interesting situations over the years, somehow even though people are averse to naked people, naked and art just seem to go together. Beyond that is just plain fun. The deployment to Saudi Arabia went down pretty much as describe, including the unusual trip home.
-----------------------------------------------
As Nick and Terri watched Toni drive away. Terri sighed contentedly, she remarked, "Finally, at 20 years old, she's finally a woman."
Nick chuckled, "Hey, I was 20 when I did it with you the first time."
Terri giggled and said, "Yeah, you're a guy, that's expected." Then she looked at Nick queerly, and said, "Okay, tell me about the girl you did it with in the UAE."
Nick thought, 'Oh shit, here it is! Is she going to get all mad and move out? What do I tell her? Do I tell her about the baby?' Finally after a very pregnant pause, he asked, "What do you want to know?"
Terri smiled, putting Nick somewhat at ease. She said, "Well, let's start with her name."
Nick answered, "Her name was Barbara Shelton, she is a SSgt and a cardiopulmonary tech who was assigned to the air transportable hospital out of Davis Monthan AFB in Arizona."
Terri cocked her head and asked, "Was she pretty?"
Nick said, "About like Toni, a bit plain in the face with a nice body."
Terri giggled, "And you seduced her?"
Nick was starting to feel more comfortable discussing it, Terri didn't seem to be jealous at all. She seemed really interested of all things. Nick answered, "No, actually she came to me. She wanted it to be discrete, and felt the best way for that to happen was for her to pick someone married and from another base. We were already friends, so she wanted to see if we could be friends with benefits."
Terri asked a really difficult question, one Nick wasn't sure he would answer truthfully. She asked, "So, did she come to you before, or after I gave you permission."
Nick hesitated just enough, that the truth was told before he actually answered, knowing that he was a terrible liar, he answered truthfully, "Before, about 3 weeks before you told me I could fool around."
Terri frowned for the first time since the conversation turned in the direction of Nick's indiscretion, after a moment of silence as she stopped to think, she said, "Nick, I don't mind you having another woman, but I don't want you doing it without me knowing about it, or without my permission. That said, I swear to you that I will never sleep with anyone else without applying the same rules, okay?"
Nick feeling contrite, said, "I can agree to that. I'm sorry that I stepped out without you knowing."
Terri smiled again, "Okay, so I'm assuming it wasn't a one-time thing, right?"
Nick blushed, he wasn't sure he was comfortable with going into the details. He wasn't sure why Terri was so interested, He replied, "No, we did it about once a week. I have to admit, it was really a big stress reliever."
Terry smirked, "Yes! You see? That's why I gave you permission; I knew you had to have been under a lot of stress and I knew that having sex would help that a lot, I didn't want you coming home with PTSD. I think you understand now that I'm open to us having a bit looser standards when it comes to fidelity. As long as we give each other permission, or better yet, like with Toni, we share. I think we can do it in a healthy way, without jealousy. What do you think?"
Nick grinned and said, "I think you have a guy in mind that you want to bring into a three-way, like what happened with Toni. I think you want to sample a new cock."
Theresa blushed like a virgin, she stammered, "Well, um, yeah. The only person I have ever slept with is you. To be honest, I feel so ugly after having Julianna, all these stretch mark scars and how my body has changed."
Nick took her hands in his, "Terri, you are just as beautiful now as you were before, sweetheart. If anything, you're more attractive. Your hips are fuller and you're boobs are a bit bigger. You really look nice, okay."
Terri blushed and said, "Yeah, you're my husband, you're supposed to think I look nice. What about other guys, what do they think – that's my problem."
Nick paused, thought about it, then said, "Okay, if you need another man to validate that you look nice, I can do that. We can do it just like we did with Toni."
Terri turned crimson, and then squeaked out, "Um, uh, I was thinking that Amn Morgan in your office is pretty cute, he looks like a lost puppy."
Nick chuckled and said, "Okay, I don't see him that way, but if that's who you're interested in, I think I have a way to draw him to your web, my pretty little spider. Jordan is an artist, what if I invite him to come paint you?" Then he grinned wickedly, "In the nude."
Terri blushed again, but exclaimed, "Wow! That sounds so, um, wicked! Awesome! You don't mind do you? I don't want to do this if you're going to be jealous."
Nick said, "Well, I have to admit I like you all to myself, but with what's happened already, it is nothing but fair. I'll get him here, I get him interested, or your nudity will probably get him interested. But, you're going to have to be the one to seduce him. All I can do is grant him permission at the right moment, you're going to have to be the one to get him to dip his wick." Then Nick added, "Since you're pregnant again, there isn't an issue there. We have to be careful Terri, I don't want to have to raise someone else's baby."
