"I guess you won't take no for an answer again?" Charlotte asked.
"I would, but you have a rule against it," Brad replied.
A sigh escaped her lips. She had made the rule to hold back a sense of complacency. Now that her husband had a fuck buddy it was too easy to outsource their sex life. So she had made a rule that she could not say no to him more than four times in a row. It was flattering that he still asked. There did not appear to be a shortage of women willing to have no strings attached sex with her husband. She wondered why his sex drive seemed to be stuck at the level of a twenty something while hers had declined. Brad suggested she appreciated quality over quantity, correctly implying that he was good in bed. There was a bit of truth to his statement, he was a good fuck.
She was a bit surprised that he did not abuse the rule. He could have asked her every morning and every night, invoking the rule every other day, but he did not. No doubt part of it was the other women; it gave him other options when she was too tired or busy. She also appreciated his discretion, he didn't abandon her the moment she refused him, instead would slip away hours or even a day later to take advantage of their arrangement. She wondered how many wives encouraged their husbands to sleep around. Charlotte had met all of his booty calls. She wasn't sure what would happen if she didn't approve of any of the women, the two women he was sleeping with now didn't seem like a threat to their marriage.
A grin spread across Brad's face as he looked at his wife. She appeared to be lost in thought. He almost wished he could retract his question, despite the elaborate preparations he had made. He didn't need to get laid tonight, and even if he did finding someone to answer a booty call would not be that difficult. Two names sprang to mind, but he didn't really want to fuck either of them tonight, he wanted to be with Charlotte.
"And a rule is a rule," she said, resigning herself to Brad's lustful desire. She joked that fucking
Brad was like going to the gym, sometimes it was difficult to get started, but she was always glad when she finished.
"You don't sound very enthusiastic."
"Sorry, it was a crazy day, I can't clear my head."
"Then how about we try something different?" he asked. Charlotte's attitude was an unexpected bonus. What he had planned was a bit of a departure from their normal routine.
"Isn't that why I let you off the leash, so you can do something different?" she countered.
"I think you will find this to be just what you need," he said with a smile.
The words 'what you need' echoed in her head. He was right; almost every time they had sex it ended her with satisfied and exhausted. She was already exhausted, at least mentally, and wondered if she had the energy for whatever he had in mind.
"Come with me," he said, taking her hand and leading her to the bedroom.
As she stepped through the doorway she noticed there was something on the bed. At first she could not believe what she was seeing, "I think you have me mixed up with someone else."
"I'm quite aware of who I am with," he said walking over to the bed and picking up the riding crop. He could see that her eyes were still on the bed, specifically on the big black dildo in the middle of it.
Charlotte could not stop staring at the toy on the bed. She scanned the rest of the bed. At each corner there was a leather cuff with a chain leading the bed frame. The pillows had been tossed on the floor and there was a towel on the bed concealing at least one more item.
"You really think I'm going to let you use that on me?"
"I'm counting on it," he replied.
"Why..." she started to ask, but was unable to complete the question.
"You will find out soon enough," he said, walking back to her with the riding crop still in his hand.
"I don't know if I can do this."
"You," he whispered as he kissed her neck, "can do anything you want, and I think you want this."
He considered adding 'and a whole lot more', but didn't.
Once again he was right. Just a few days earlier she had enjoyed her first bi-curious experience, and it was with one of his fuck buddies. It was limited to a few kisses and a little touching, but it was more than she ever imagined she would do with another woman. In less than a week she would experience her first threesome. Charlotte wondered if he realized she was doing it just to see what it was like, not because she craved sex with another man. She didn't understand his desire to be with other women, and was curious about what it would be like to be with another man demanded to be satisfied. She gazed at the restraints again, if she was going to let Brad and another man fuck her she might just need to be tied up first.
"So now what?" she asked.
