Hi all. Finally had a bit of time - a break in the pre-holiday craziness at work.
Squirm - I would define poly as more of an open and more full-time interaction between 3 or more people. I don't see that happening for us, at least surely not in the foreseeable future. If we owned different property that gained plausibility, I could agree that my answer might be different.
As far as my 'hall pass' - it wasn't intended as a way for me to develop an alternate relationship - we've talked more and she's clarified it as an "if". In her eyes, it's an option for me if it's to the point where I need, as she puts it "to be physical" and also as she said it "that I don't want it with you" - as those conditions for me to enjoy another woman. I should add that as has always been between us, if "something happens" when either of us is away on a trip, business or otherwise, that it is okay to enjoy as it's not detracting from either of us. She was honest and said that she hoped she would feel that way at some point.
It was a springboard into finally talking more about her and what she wants out of all of this. Apparently this ability to, as she says, give herself to him, is something unique for her. I asked her if she hadn't felt this way with most other guys and she said the closest she felt to this was how she felt about Robert. I reminded her that she'd shared some fairly extreme thoughts and desires about him and she smiled and said that she did enjoy talking about them to me - and as she put it - all of that talking helped her understand what she was feeling. She told me that one of the biggest things that she feels is that she wants me to be a part of it and that my being okay with Paul is something she now looks back and feels she missed with Robert.
I wasn't feeling altogether well since the end of the weekend so this is parts from before as well as since then. Even when she started to reminisce about Robert for a bit, she knew I wasn't going to be getting horny enough that I was going to need to masturbate - instead - it was actually a really nice time to talk more openly. She told me how Robert was the first one other than me to give her the deep intense kind of sex she now feels she wants to feel and explore more. And she admitted to wanting sex with him more than me at times, especially after she says she could tell I was becoming more beta.
But it was when we talked about her and Paul that she really opened up. She told me how she feels so much like how she did when she was a teenager and she giggled and told me that sometimes she's found herself getting wet as she's going to see him. She also told me how she gets wetter in general when she's with him - again making her feel like a teenager again. She said that she feels so different with him than me - and I told her that is to be expected when we've been together so long compared to her and him. She giggled that it sounded like I did understand. But she continued and shared how she wants to feel like she is his - and she emphasized that she wants to feel that way in between when she sees him. It was a quite candid conversation as I said - and she had no qualms about telling me that after she's been with him, that she doesn't want to have sex with me (or any sexual contact really) so when she sees him again, that they pick up where they left off.
I asked her if it was so bad having sex with me these past few months or these last few times. She smiled and said that it wasn't that at all, it's just that as she said - if she does and has what she wants - that this will be a part of it. She told me that she still loves making love with me and that it will always feel different with me than with another guy. But she continued and said that for now, she knows that she needs to feel this. When I asked, she said she feels this desire to be with him - and she laughs and says that it's a lot like when we first got together. She reminded me of weekends where we were literally naked the entire time and would just fuck all weekend long just to fuck. She giggled and said she remembered how I loved being inside her "just like Paul does" as we'd watch TV in bed together and how comfortable she felt walking around naked and fully ******* around me.
I know it sounds extreme but there was plenty of other conversation about us and how she feels she needs me as her anchor in all of this - to know that I'm there and she said that if she didn't feel that I loved her, that she couldn't let herself do this with Paul. I laughed and told her that was a bit to take in and she said again that this really is purely just sex and she even quipped about "how many 56 year old women get to do this?" I did tell her that it took a 57 year old man to enable her and she smiled and said that we are in this together and she looked at me and said she promised that "... other than not fucking me..." that she ".... wants to make this okay for you too..." meaning me. She slid up next to me and asked me if I was turned on by what we're going to be doing. I told her honestly that I was very turned on about it from a being turned-on sense but I shared that I was starting to get some anxieties about it too. I guess I will get to see later tonight but she cooed back to me that she is "going to make it good on Wednesday for you". So in that sense I am feeling relieved that she is aware of my needs.
She started to share how she felt physically and emotionally as she "gives herself" to him - how she can feel herself getting aroused - how she becomes aware of something as simple as feeling her panties rubbing against her lips and when her clit starts to grow. I was starting to get going but I also knew that I was just feeling better and would - honestly - prefer she saved that for tonight (Wednesday). She was going to to continue on when I leaned towards her and shushed her and told her just that "save it for tomorrow baby...". She reached over and felt my hard cock and she smiled and said "mmm - okay baby - I understand - you'll be so much hornier tomorrow night won't you....". And a moment later she smiled at me and said "that's part of it isn't it baby... you get hornier the more you have to wait....". I groaned back that she was onto something and she smiled.
Not sure if I answered anything or just shared some things - but it felt good to write a bit more for a change.
I will close by saying that I am looking at her pics as well as the image of her as she got dressed this morning. It is breathtaking in a crazy way for me to look at her and see her pussy and to know that I actually want to give it up. It actually feels good to say it.
