Dione stared wistfully out the window. Her husband and children were playing in the garden and she stood watching them from the kitchen window as she did the dishes. Her husband, Kyle, noticed her stare and left their two daughters to play tea party on their own with their stuffed toys.
Kyle entered the kitchen and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"What's the matter, baby?" He asked.
"Nothing, darling," she sighed, leaning into his embrace.
"Don't lie, baby. Now, what's up?"
"I feel something...lacking. Not in our relationship but within myself."
"What do you mean?" He asked, resting his chin on her shoulder.
He noticed her playing with the kitchen utensils rather than cleaning them. She was anxious and he could tell. Dione took a breath, trying to setting her racing heart.
"You are my husband and you will always be my husband but I wish to...explore what's out there. You know I am a poly amorous person and I can't help but love people. I have no sense of boundaries when it comes to loving people."
"So...what are you saying?" He asked, smiling just a bit.
"I...want to experiment with other people."
She felt him still behind her and she clenched her eyes shut. She knew she shouldn't have said anything! His arms tightened around her and instead of hearing anger in his words, his voice was husky as he whispered into her ear.
"I don't know why but the thought of you with other people is a huge turn on for me," he spoke gently but his grip was firm.
