On the night of our first foursome Brad and Janet arrived ten minutes early, but that was okay.
We were ready.
First off, even though we were both very horny when our friends left us the night before, Helen and I had agreed to refrain from having sex that night.
We wanted to save up all our sexual energies for the foursome.
That decision, surprisingly, led to one of the most intimate nights of our marriage.
We showered together before bed. As we stepped into the shower, Helen turned and kissed me. She smiled a sad smile as she handed me her Teatree shampoo and said, "Can you wash my hair for me?"
I nodded and took the bottle.
Turning away and getting her hair soaked under the shower, she said, "Something you said to Janet tonight... really bothered me."
I poured my palm full of shampoo and put the bottle on the holder.
"What did I say that bothered you?" I began working the soap into her hair.
"You said - mmmm, that feels nice. It's been a while since you did this for me."
"I love washing your hair," I said, moving my fingertips to lightly scratch and massage my wife's scalp and neck.
"Soooo, good," she said.
"So, what did I say, Baby... that bothered you?"
"You said, 'Helen only loves Helen'."
I didn't know what to say to that. I believed it, and that made it even more hurtful.
For a while, the only sounds that followed were of the shower, slapping water and my hands scrubbing and massaging Helen's head.
"You don't feel like I love you?"
"Rinse," I said, "I'll wash it again."
Helen put her head under the shower and rinsed.
"In some ways... I feel loved. In other ways, no, I don't."
"Didn't I show you how much I loved you last week... in that van."
I smiled. "Yes, I suppose so. It makes me feel loved thinking about that day."
Helen got in position and I began her repeat hair washing.
"I let a black guy fuck me, Harry."
I chuckled. "Yes, you did."
"It's not funny. That guy had a huge cock. It fucking hurt."
"I know, Babe. I'm sorry." I pulled her into me, wrapped my arms around her and kissed her neck.
We rinsed her hair together under the shower.
"You liked it after he got going."
"Of course I did. I'm a fucking sexual deviant. There is something seriously wrong with me, Harry."
"I don't think so," I said, grabbing the body wash and a facecloth. I began lathering up her whole body from chin to ankles.
"Ooh," she cooed, "I'm getting the deluxe wash tonight."
"Anything for my loving wife."
She frowned at that, but it faded into a contented smile as she basked in my full body lathering massage.
We rinsed together again, this time kissing and groping under the deluge.
"Gimme," she said, taking the facecloth, "Now I do you."
"Kool."
As she lathered me up and down from scalp to feet, she said, "How can you not think there is something seriously wrong with me, Harry? I fucking cheated on you our whole marriage."
"Yeah, but that's a completely separate issue. Cheating is one thing, enjoying a meaty black cock in your pussy is another."
"But a meaty black cock in my pussy was cheating."
"No. It wasn't."
Helen chortled ruefully. "How the hell was that not cheating?"
"Because I made you do it. Just like I'm going to make you fuck Brad tomorrow night."
Helen finished lathering my body in silence.
Then she said, "But... I'm going to really enjoy fucking Brad." She pushed me gently under the shower head to rinse.
"Good," I said, "A wife should enjoy the things her husband makes her do."
"Aren't you worried... I'll like it too much?"
I chuckled. "I love it when you like sex too much. That's what I'm hoping for here."
"I mean what if..." Helen averted her eyes. "What if I fall in love with him?"
"I'm not worried about that." I pulled her into me, hugged her close and kissed her under the shower.
As her lips left mine, she gazed into my eyes with concern and said, "I'm worried about that."
"Are you worried I'll fall in love with Janet, too?"
She blinked. Her brow knitted up as she looked deeper into my eyes. "Should I be?"
I smiled and shrugged. "Maybe."
Helen pushed away from me. "Maybe?"
"Worse case scenario," I said, shutting off the water, "You fall in love with Brad or I fall in love with Janet. What then?"
I slid the door and stepped out of the tub.
"I don't know," Helen said.
I grabbed a towel and motioned for Helen to come closer. She stepped out of the tub and turned around, taking the towel.
"Well, even if I fell in love with Janet I would never leave you. It would hurt Brad, too, not just you."
She bent forward and wrapped her hair in the towel, as I grabbed another and began wiping her body dry.
"Would you leave me for Brad?"
"No."
"Then what's the problem?"
"But I... I might want to have more sex with him... like a lot more... and all the time."
"I still don't see a problem there."
