Jude woke up suddenly, only to realize he'd accidentally fallen asleep naked on the bed after Samantha had climbed up on him and ridden him into pure bliss. He lay relaxed, looking up at the ceiling, contemplating all the recent sexual experiences with Samantha. He found himself thinking a lot about how her recent willingness to explore fantasies involving Lauren and him had supercharged the sexual energy in the home in ways he'd long given up hoping for.
For years, he wondered if Samantha's sexual drive would improve if she took a bit more initiative in her own sexual needs instead of basing them around what he wanted. He wondered if sex felt more obligatory than fun because she wasn't focusing on herself. Her sexual needs and desires tended to take a back seat in her priorities, especially once life became extra busy. Samantha appeared revived and thriving ever since Lauren stepped through their door and joined their lives.
Their sex was more frequent, passionate, and Samantha was taking the lead instead of Jude feeling like he had to micromanage and fight to prioritize sex. It's not that sex wasn't fun or didn't feel good, it simply felt more one-sided. Jude continued playing through scenarios in his imagination, trying to anticipate what kind of activities Samantha might be open to when it came to involving Lauren. He didn't want to come across as so desperate to try things that it would overshadow his love and desire for Samantha.
Even after all these years, he was still captivated by his wife for a myriad of reasons and was confident nothing they explored would come between them. Jude was finding Samantha's role-playing fantasies involving Lauren incredibly hot and wanted her to know it only increased his attraction for her and wasn't in competition for his desire. He hadn't even needed to initiate the role playing, which gave him the impression that not only was Samantha ok with it, but she truly enjoyed it for her own sake.
On one hand, he wanted to talk through things better so that he could understand what Samantha was thinking and feeling, while on the other hand, he felt things were naturally progressing smoothly and didn't want to ruin the magic by overcomplicating things with excessive talking.
He drew in a long breath, then forced himself to get dressed despite having to face Lauren for the first time after their embarrassing shower interaction. "Here goes nothing," he said to himself under his breath as he stepped out through the bedroom door.
Luckily for Jude, Lauren handled everything with a lighthearted attitude. They had a good laugh about the whole thing, and Lauren occasionally made jokes about it throughout the day to help ease any awkwardness. Everyone in the house played it off as a non-issue. Jude felt that their shared embarrassment had inadvertently fostered an unusual spirit of camaraderie between the two of them.
Jude even found Samantha joking about it. A few days after the incident, Samantha playfully teased Jude not to sneak in on Lauren again while she ran to the grocery store.
As bad as Jude felt sometimes about the incident, he also discovered he was frequently going back to his mental images of Lauren in the shower. He often found himself fantasizing about her when masturbating or daydreaming throughout the day. He simply couldn't shake the image of her in his mind. It didn't hurt that Samantha had encouraged him to fantasize about her, which removed any guilt he would have felt about going there in his imagination. In his mind, he discovered that the whole fantasy got even hotter when he imagined Samantha joining in with Lauren.
One evening, while Jude was driving home from work, his phone lit up as he received a call from one of his close friends. Joe called to see if Jude, Samantha, and the kids were interested in using the non-refundable reservation that his family had made at a nearby house on the lake. Joe explained that they'd reserved it for a few weekends this summer, but a recent work issue prevented his family from being able to use it this coming weekend. Since they weren't going to use it, Joe figured Jude, and his family might be able to take advantage of the free getaway for the weekend. Happily accepting the short-notice invitation, Jude thanked Joe and drove home, excited to share the news with Samantha.
Two days later, Jude found himself reclining, with a beer in hand, on the back deck of a beautiful house surrounded by trees, and a view that overlooked the lake. This is exactly what he needed after a rather stressful week at work. He turned off his phone, grabbed a book, and decided to check out of all social media for the weekend. They also decided to extend an invitation to Lauren, who was equally excited to tag along for the short trip. At this point, Lauren got along so well with everyone, she might as well be part of their family which made inviting her feel completely natural.
By the time evening rolled around and the kids were asleep, Jude picked up the kitchen and shifted to bartender duty. On their way to the house, they'd stopped at a local liquor store to pick up ingredients to make a few of the ladies' favorite mixed drinks. He made sure to buy the larger bottles so they wouldn't risk running dry over the next few days. He was hell bent on fully relaxing and ensuring the ladies had a great time.
Jude walked out onto the back deck with a Gin and Tonic in one hand for Samantha and a Moscow Mule for Lauren in the other. The two ladies were in the process of climbing into the hot tub, and Jude couldn't help but check out how attractive they both looked in their bathing suits. Samantha caught Jude watching Lauren's ass as she stepped into the hot tub and raised an eyebrow teasingly at him from across the deck. He returned the raised eyebrows and shrugged, not trying to hide that he appreciated her figure.
"Here you go, ladies," Jude said as he handed them their first set of drinks for the weekend. "I think we've all earned ourselves a good time after working so hard this week. I'll be back momentarily with my drink so I can join you." He continued, before walking back into the house to retrieve his drink.
