Say Hello To My Wife's
Little Friend
"Just come in long enough to take a piss and say hello to Claire," I said as I pulled the rental car into our driveway behind my wife's car. "She's not expecting us until Sunday, but come on in and see her, say hi, and consider staying for dinner. She'll be pissed off if you don't at least come in for a few minutes. You've met her before, right?"
"Your head working?" he said. "Yeah, my bladder is the size of Omaha. Two more blocks and I was going to piss on your fucking seats," he added. We went in the side door and I headed for one bathroom and pointed out to Jake the direction of the other one. After two toilets flushed, we met in the hallway.
"She home?" he asked. "Awfully damn quiet." I led him toward the kitchen and we started to walk past our guest bedroom. I stopped to let him go first, but he looked to the right and then froze in the hallway. I bumped into him and glanced in the direction he was looking.
On the guest bed was my wife, Claire, naked, on her back, head on the pillow with her eyes closed, knees pulled up, and her legs wide apart, feet a few inches off the bed. Her mouth slightly open, with both hands on a large dildo, my wife was working this slippery cylinder in and out of her splayed pussy at a rate faster than a internal combustion engine in high gear. The pad of one thumb made small circles over her clitoris, the other hand held the dildo. The action of her hands and her concentration made hearing us a non-factor.
Jake and I stood with our mouths hanging open, almost glued in place in the hall, unable to move, unwilling to leave, not wanting to look but unable to turn away, not believing what we were seeing, but too fascinated to stop looking. Jake and I recovered at the same time, jerked our heads back from the open door, and he pushed me back while I forced him forward, both trying to get out of the doorway and down the hall as quietly as possible, before she saw us, before she opened her eyes and caught us catching her.
"Holy shit," he muttered quietly when we got to the living room. Whispering, he asked, "What the fuck should we do?" I shrugged and shook my head. "Fuck."
"Let's go to the garage," I whispered, leaving the house as quietly as we could. Jake couldn't be more embarrassed if it had been him using the dildo. When we got to the garage, we stood in the center, but neither of us spoke; we just stood there like two guys who stepped in shit and had tracked it on the good carpet. Jake tried to avoid looking at me, as if making eye contact would worsen the predicament, so he simply pretend he hadn't seen my wife fucking herself with a giant dildo.
I had closed the side door to the garage as quietly as I could, then turned to face my embarrassed friend. "I'm sorry man," he said for no particular reason. "I didn't mean to look. I only saw her for a second. I mean, shit...man...."
I guess I wasn't careful enough about closing the door quietly, because we hadn't been in the garage for three full minutes when the door opened and Claire's concerned face appeared around the corner. Alarmed at what the source of the sound was in her supposedly empty house, she finally stepped in wearing a short robe, holding it closed. When she had seen that it was us, her reaction went from alarm to embarrassment and her face turned a deep shade of red as she stood as paralyzed in the doorway looking into the garage as we had been in the hall. By the looks on our faces, she knew we had seen her. "Were you just in the house?" she'd asked. I had said we weren't, then amended it to "only for a few seconds." She looked at me with horror on her face. "In the hall?" she'd said. When the impact of us being in the house hit her in the face, she turned and ran embarrassed from the garage.
We heard the door to the kitchen slam and he and I looked at one another as if we'd just accidentally shot the neighbors seeing-eye dog. "Holy shit," he said again. It bothered me that he'd seen her, but it was even worse that we had upset her so.
We walked into the house and Jake, figuring he didn't want to bump into Claire again, went to the family room and took a seat on the couch, sitting like a naughty boy with his arms folded. I went to our bedroom and knocked. When she didn't answer, I opened the door slowly and went in. "You saw?" was all she said. It was an accusation not a question.
"We didn't see nothing," I said in a momentary lapse into middle school vernacular. I couldn't believe I'd said that, and she turned and gave me a look you get from a pissed off middle school principal.
"A double negative works when you're twelve," she said in a monotone, her words as flat and angry as total chagrin could make them. I let her sit quietly on the edge of the bed, waiting until she was ready to speak. I knew nothing I could say would make it all not happen, so I just stood there, mute with a dumb-ass grin on my face. She was incredibly embarrassed and hell hath no fury like a woman mortified in front of her husband's hunting buddy with a dildo in both hands and an orgasm on her face.
Finally, she turned to me and asked in a near whisper, "Did Jake see?"
There was no point in denying the obvious, so I nodded without speaking.
"Why are you home so early?" she asked in the same dull monotone of humiliation.
"Engine blew on the Honda," I said. "Spent three hours waiting for the tow truck, then we got a rental car and ended up leaving the Honda in Medford to be fixed in about a week.
"Fucked up day, huh?" she said, quietly, as if what had just happened was worse than all the rest of it. Then a muffled laugh came from deep in her throat. "Then you come home and find your wife riding a dildo in front of your hunting buddy." Like a dumb ass I just shrugged and nodded.
"I never saw you use one of those before," I said, struggling for something to say, not moving from my assigned spot, afraid to come any closer, afraid to leave. She motioned with her head for me to come to her. When I got next to the bed, I kissed her on the cheek.
"It helps me work off stress," she said, an explanation I hadn't asked for, then she turned away from me, the movement was mechanical and stiff.
"Has it got a name? I asked, trying to lighten up the mood. She shook her head and I said it looked like a nice one.
"A nice one?" she said sarcastically. "That's what you've got? A nice one?"
"I mean a nice, big one."
"What did Jake say?" she asked timidly, ignoring my joke about the dildo's size, also wanting to know where he was.
"We didn't talk about it."
"He thinks your wife is a sex feign with a big dildo in her pussy," she said, then she laughed again, but it was a hollow and humorless laugh.
"He thinks I'm a lucky man," I said. There was a long pause where she just looked at me, incredulous that I'd make such a dumb-ass remark. "Any wife secure enough to bring herself when her husband's away is a great woman in Jake's eyes."
"I've been using it for a few years," she said quietly, ignoring the compliment, explaining away her behavior, explanation I didn't need, "and it's eight inches, by the way."
"If you wanted a big cock, why didn't you tell me," I said stupidly, trying to turn it into a joke. She turned serious, then looked up at me with a pleading look that was no nonsense.
"I need more than one man at a time," she said in a tone that left no doubt as to her sincerity. I've never been able to limit myself to only one man.
"It's just something I have to do," she said quietly, as if to herself. "I mean, being in control. Giving myself some... strange stuff."
"I masturbate to work off a little stress myself," I said in an explanation she had not asked for either. "It's nothing to be ashamed about."
"I'm not." She turned quickly away and made a face. "I can't live without it, sex on the side."
We then talked for nearly an hour about what she had been so mortified about, which I tried to make her understand most people do it. "More woman would be less depressed if more of them started getting "long slender friends," I said. I asked if she wanted me to ask Jake to leave so she could come out.
"I can't hide in here forever," she said. "No, he didn't do anything wrong. I like Jake," she repeated.
"Neither did you," I said. "You want Jake?"
She stood up and tied her robe closed, then walked to the door. "I do," she said. We went in to the family room together and Jake looked up, scowling like a kid put on time-out.
"I'm sorry, Jake. I guess I don't have any secrets from you anymore," she joked to Jake as we walked in, "at least not from you." He smiled and she actually smiled back. All of a sudden there was chemistry between them I didn't understand at the time. She walked up to Jake and kissed him. I'd like you to help me out with something," she said. He nodded and took her hand.
Jake and Claire and I talked for another hour, mostly them, about the trip, the car, and anything else we could think of to avoid mentioning what had just happened earlier. Finally, I guess deciding the best way to overcome an embarrassing situation is to just come at it head on. "Would you like to see it?" she asked, looking directly at Jake. "I've washed it off real good," she said as she got up and retrieved the small zippered pouch she carried her dildo in.
