Wow - so much to reply to. Before I go into what we started talking about tonight (after a very spontaneous bout in bed!) isn't over yet, but as I'll explain, I feel good about it, at least for now.
Perhaps I understated the intensity of the sex with her when she came home - Peak and other compared my response to her return from the wedding to this time and in that sense, perhaps I didn't adequately emphasize the pleasure that came with it - and continues to do so.
What do I want? I don't know. But apparently I'm not alone - as Sue has the same sort of questioning feeling right now herself.
Let me explain - because as we talked, I began to better understand her and she, me.
I had thought we were going to start this talk tonight when we went up to the bedroom about 9pm. Our daughter was skyping with friends and her boyfriend as she did her homework and they all watched TV together - was Glee on tonight? Why do teenage girls like that show?
Anyway - in the bedroom she turned and basically said that we should have a quickie before we started to talk. When I got her undressed and she did me, I felt her pussy and it was wet but not drenched as it had been earlier in the week. Nonetheless, no lubricants were needed and in the end - she had a screeching orgasm just before my own and I guess my motions carried her along all the way. It really felt great to feel in sync with her and she was right, it did feel easier to talk lying there afterwards.
She basically came out with it and asked me "how would you feel if you didn't do that?" I wasn't ready for the blunt start of the conversation but rolled up on my side towards her and said "do what?" She looked at me and she said "you know - cum in me.". I was a bit surprised that she just came out and said it and asked it. She said "I know you said it turns you on and I want to know how you liked it last week and the week before?".
I think she was being blunt like this because it was just easier for her to come out and say it rather than trying to work around it. I'd just cum so I'm not totally sure of what I was feeling. I told her that it turned me on. She asked me why and I said something to the effect of "it turns me on that you want that".
Then she asked me something really interesting. She said "does it only turn you on if I am seeing someone else?". I didn't understand what she meant but she explained further that she wanted to know whether if she just denied me but didn't have sex with anyone else, whether that would turn me on?
I hadn't really thought of this in this way before and I told her so. She encouraged me to think about it and to be honest with her. It didn't really take me that long to think it through - but it did make me realize that it isn't just her denying me that turns me on, but it is definitely that she has sex with Frank.
She held my hand and she asked me if I enjoyed masturbating (in the last 2 weeks) and I wasn't shy and nodded my head yes. It felt like it was my turn to ask her a question in the conversation, so I asked her "how was it just being with him?". I thought I would have had a bit more trouble asking her that but it seemed to just flow at the moment. She didn't answer right away and I sensed she needed something else so I said "did it help get you what you wanted to feel?".
I think she might have been on the edge of shedding a tear at that moment so I held her hand and said some stuff about it being okay and that I wanted her to be able to do what she wanted if it meant her happiness - and I went for broke and said "after the stress with your dad, you needed it".
She took my hand again and she started to say how she felt it affected her - mentally yes, it made her horny to think about and be doing, especially when she saw my reactions. But then she looked at me and said that she thought it was also a physical thing and she said that each time she'd see Frank before they left, even if it was just a quickie, that it felt like she started to want him more. She said that "by the time we went away, I think it really made me want him" and she was quiet for a moment and said "it might be what made it so good". She said that she was thinking that when we go away and I can get her all crazy, that it's (usually) just me who cums in her before and certainly while we're away - and she was starting to think maybe it helped her last week. I was quiet and she asked me what I was thinking and I immediately said that "I can't give you up forever" - and maybe I had a look on my face of fear or something because she leaned over and said something like "...ohhhh sweetie, we're just talking now..." and she proceeded to start to explain more of what she was feeling.
She said that for her it was knowing she'd have all of that time with him and that she did know from going to the wedding with him that "he could get horny" and she said that the closer she got to going away with him - and after seeing him virtually every other day - the more she was looking forward to it. But what she said next was something that floored me and took me totally by surprise - "he'd never do that at home - have sex with me that much" - and a second later she said "he never wants it that much".
Well - the conversation got pretty intense after that for a bit. She said that my admission that it's her being with Frank that is a part of denial is "sort of the same of what I'm feeling". It sounded weird to hear but she explained that what she's understanding of it all is that - the denial turns me on because it involves her having sex with her lover. For her, the denial turns her on in the same way - and - the admission out in the open from both of us is that denial for denial's sake doesn't work for either of us. She said she still doesn't feel a satisfaction out of denying me but she now most definitely enjoys knowing it turns me on.
So - it is Frank who is the limiting factor here. And I asked her candidly about it. I didn't mention Don as I didn't want to stir up bad memories so I asked her simply if she wished Frank were more aggressive. She giggled and said almost instantly "yes" and then added "I've been trying ... I know he has it in him....". My head was spinning from what I'd been hearing for 20 minutes or more. So I finally asked "what does that mean about Frank and you?" and she giggled again and said "nothing sweetie, for now, this is fun" and she kissed me and said "you'd better enjoy me this weekend, next week I think I'm going back to panties" - and she reached down and felt my cock and damn if it wasn't a bit swollen up despite just having had sex not much earlier.
I wasn't happy to leave it there though. There was still too much unsaid - she'd started down a path earlier that she hadn't gone back to - she'd asked me how I'd feel if I didn't cum in her. I hadn't fully answered when she said "so, if we were to go away again, you'd be okay with me doing it again?". I told her that if all was well between us like it seems to be now, that I would be okay with it.
So - I'm now almost instantly thinking that maybe she's seeing that she can get this out of Frank if she can get him alone for a few days.
I probably should have just left it there and simply said again "that would turn me on". But noooo. I just went with the flow and I asked "what if Frank or whoever wanted more?". She kissed me and said "that would be something we would have to talk about". It was the mood. It was the moment - I just kept going and asked "is it something you'd want?" She smiled and said "maybe" and she immediately asked me "what about you? is that what you'd want?" My spur of the moment answer was "maybe yes - but I could never not have you". And that was the second borderline tear moment for her as she hugged me and said "me too".
Our conversation was interrupted by our daughter going to bed - and after that, I think we were both talked-out and - well, I felt good about it. We watched some more TV for a bit and then turned over and went off to sleep - however I got to maybe 11:15 when I started snoring and was banished to the office to sleep on the guest-bed - which is why I'm here now and not cuddled up next to her at almost 1am.
So - my conclusion is that I have a bit more time before things may happen, if they happen. It's apparent that other's comments about Frank appear to be true - he simply doesn't want sex as much as Sue would like him to - but it is good with him and I think she's just content to see where this present thing with Frank goes to. She is certainly not falling for him, nor him for her. However, I think the writing is on the wall for what type of guy she will look for as her next lover - and when that time comes with someone new or if Frank "grows a pair" - that will be when she'll want to discuss something more than what she currently does denial-wise.
Somehow I find all of this a bit anticlimactic at this point.
