Part Three
'What the
hell have you done? You idiot!' I thought as I sat on the hotel balcony
watching the moon rise slowly over the dark waters of the sea. The bottle of
Karavitakis Boutique Red that I had bought from the bar, although delicious,
was still nearly full as I sat and pondered on what I had witnessed during day
in the sea and that evening.
Susan, my
Wife, had been in deep conversation with the big Black Man we had met while on
holiday as they had swum closely together and then later she had took a hold of
his hand and gone with him to visit Agios Nicholaos in the evening. Her
attraction to Raoul was for all to see, as was his desire for her.
‘What were
you thinking last summer, when you made that agreement to help her find a
Lover,’ I thought as I took a sip of the chilled wine (Greeks like their
red wine cool). Today, which was the second day of our fourteen day holiday,
had brought home the reality of seeing my Wife in the company of another man,
and the actuality of it had been deeply unsettling.
I had stood
on the steps of the hotel and waved as Marcus, Clare, Raoul and Susan had got
into the taxi and sped off to the pretty Cretan town with the lagoon in its
centre. None of them returned the wave or acknowledged my existence and the
idea struck me that in their view I was an insignificance. ‘Do they see me
as a cuckold already? Does Susan see me as a cuckold already?’
At those
thoughts, suddenly the cool wine seemed all the more inviting so I drained the
glass and poured myself another of the red nectar.
The children
slept on in their little room without disturbing me and my thoughts that
evening; the sea, sun and swimming had exhausted them both by seven o’clock
which meant that I was alone to ruminate on the evolving situation with Susan
and Raoul. That said, was it a ‘situation’ or was it just human nature? Or as
Clare had described it, was it the ‘Natural Order’ emerging from the attraction
between my Wife and a handsome big Black Man? I was not sure what it meant but
Susan’s readiness to take a hold of his hand told me that she understood it
more than I.
It was
nearly one o’clock in the morning when I heard the card slip through our
hotel door lock and then nothing. The lock usually made a loud click as the
door was pushed open but at that moment it didn’t - it was unlocked but still
closed. I could hear whispered words through the thick wood of the door and one
voice that I recognized was Susan’s.
“I would
invite you in, but Dave and the kids are probably asleep,” I heard her say as I
pressed my eye to the glass spy hole. They were standing close and were clearly
at ease with each other’s familiarity and I noted, as any husband would, that
his arms were about her her waist and hers were around his neck.
“That’s
okay,” he replied, “but you don’t have to go in just yet do you?”
“Only if you
kiss me again,”
Susan’s face
was red with expectation of his lips on hers, but she was about to be teased.
“I don’t
know that I should, with your husband just a few feet away inside that room,”
he said, with a big impudent smile on his face.
“You beast!”
she responded as she laughed, and then continued - blushing even more, “Perhaps
if I call you ‘Master’, just like Clare calls Marcus. Will you kiss me then?”
Through the
spyhole, I watched as Raoul lips melded against Susan’s. It was a full-on
passionate ‘french-kiss’ with tongues exploring each others’ mouths and lips.
Their hips ground together and Susan’s breasts squashed against his manly
chest. It was a kiss that made promises they each meant to keep - soon. They
both knew that it was a signal of intent for both of them, and I knew it too.

“It’s a bit
early for that isn’t it?” Raoul asked as he pulled his head away from Susan’s
eager lips.
“Is it?” she
responded - suddenly serious.
“Clare and
her hubby are my Brother’s property,” he replied, “and they have given
themselves over to the ‘Natural Order’ between a white married couple and a
Black Master.”
“I
pretty-well guessed as much,” she replied, “and they are making a baby together
aren’t they.”
“You know
more than you are letting on don’t you,” he replied as he bent his head down to
sample my Wife’s soft lips again.
“I do!” she
replied as they both came up for air. “And I may be married with a nice hubby
and two lovely kids, but I have friends at the school gate who have Lovers just
like you - Big, Black and handsome. So yes, I do know a bit about the ‘Natural
Order’.”
“And your
hubby - David. Does he know about it too?”
“He does
now,” she replied, “Clare was giving him the lowdown on it just before we left
to go to Agios.”
Raoul
suddenly looked thoughtful. “If he already knows about it,” he said as he
looked into Susan’s pretty face, “then what would he say if I asked you on a
date tomorrow night.”
Susan’s
smile was one of excitement and surprise. “Wow!” she exclaimed, “That’s a bit
outrageous isn’t it? Asking another a Lady’s hubby if she can go out on a
date.”
Although she
had joked with Raoul, I could see that Susan’s eyes were filled with an
eagerness and desire. The thought of him asking me if he could date her was
very appealing to her.
“Not so
shocking after the things you told me about him when we were swimming today,”
he replied.
“Well, I
would love to go out tomorrow night with you Raoul,” Sue replied as she gazed
up into his big brown eyes, “but you will have to ask him yourself.”
“I guess
that’s only fair,” he commented just before she pressed her body against his
and they kissed again.
I was sat up
in bed reading a book when Susan finally opened the door to the suite and crept
qietly inside.
“How was
your evening?” I asked in a non-committal tone, although I was desperate to
know what she and Raoul had done together.
“We had a
lovely time thanks Dear,” she replied, equally non-committally, “Agios is very
pretty and we had a couple of drinks in the bars next to the lake. We then
wandered up the hill into the town.”
“And was
Raoul good company?” I asked, knowing that it was very much a loaded question.
“He was a
perfect gentleman,” she replied, with a sigh as she unzipped the back of her
dress.
It was time
for a more pertinent question for a Wife who had just been kissing another man
just a few feet away from her husband.
“And do you
now think that Raoul wants to seduce you?”
“Oh no doubt
about it,” Sue replied as she slid into bed beside me.
“And what
about you?” I asked, “Do you want to be seduced by him?”
Susan smiled
one of her 'don't be silly little man' smiles that she always reserves for me
when I have said something stupid and, as usual, it had the usual effect on me.
So I shut up and waited for the answer that would change our lives forever.
"I have
been around long enough to not fall for for the old teenager 'seduction
techniques'," she replied. "But anyway, Raoul is astute enough to
know that they wouldn't work on me."
"That's
good to know - I think," was my comment. But she hadn't answered my
question and she knew it.
"Just
so you understand David," she replied with a voice heavy with sleep,
"if I decide to climb into Raoul's bed and open my legs for him it will be
because I want to."
"And do
you?"
Her head was
turned away from me on the pillow by the time she answered. "We shall
see," she replied, "and it all depends on you."
"Me?
How so?"
"Raoul
is going to speak to you tomorrow," she said.
"What
about?"
"He is
going to ask you if I can go on a date with him."
This I
already knew, but I couldn't let on that I was already aware. Perhaps Susan
already knew that I knew. Perhaps she had sensed me watching them kiss from the
other side of the door and was just testing me.
"So if
I say yes, then you will climb into his bed. Is that it?"
"Maybe!
Maybe not!" she replied, "but it will be a test for you - won't
it."
"Why?"
"It
will show us that you mean what you say. And whether you were serious last
summer when you suggested that I should have a 'bed replacement' for you."
Susan replied as she rolled her head around the soft pillow to look me in the
eyes.
"You
mean a Lover, don't you," I suggested.
"Not
necessarily David," she said, "but a holiday fling would be nice
wouldn't it?"
|
".. but a holiday fling would be nice wouldn't it?" |
"For
you maybe Sue. But I will be a cuckold," I replied. The word cuckold
suddenly reminding me sharply of what I had suggested last summer. My lovely
Wife would be another man's pleasure. His Girlfriend. His Mistress. But would
it be so if it was just a fling?
"Oh
what's in a name silly. Besides; what happens on holiday stays on
holiday."
I was
unconvinced, but she was right. I had made that commitment to let her have a
'replacement' and the reality was now staring me in the face - literally.
Susan's eyes were wide now, no longer sleepy, as she waited for me to speak.
"I have
to say that Raoul has some 'brass neck," I said at last, "asking
another man if he can date his Wife."
"Maybe
so," Sue replied, "but what will your answer be?"
"I
guess it depends on how he asks me."
And with
that answer Susan rolled over and went to sleep. I, on the other hand, was wide
awake and was still so when the sun came up the next morning.
The kids had
been fed their breakfast and were happily playing in the small pool near our
sun-beds when Susan sat up, turned to me and said, "Raoul is coming over
David. I guess he wants to talk to you, so I am going to go and play with the
kids."
I looked up
from my book in expectation of his visit and was immediately aware of the aura
around them as he passed her on his way to see me. I saw the complicit smile
between them and the surreptitious but brief contact of their hands as he
strode towards me. If I had been in any doubt why this big powerful Black Man
with the bulging Speedos was coming to see me, I was no longer.
"Hi
David!"
'David! Not
Dave! That's a good start,' I thought.
"Hello
Raoul," I replied in an even voice, even though my heart was thumping in
my chest in response to what was about to be discussed, “what can I do for
you?”
Raoul pulled
a nearby spare white plastic chair and sat down next to my sun-bed and looked
thoughtful. He was clearly trying to find the right words.
"When
we were swimming together yesterday Susan told me that you might be amenable to
her and myself getting better aquaintanted. She intimated that you and her have
an arrangement," he said.
'So that's
why she was smiling when she walked up the beach.'
"More
of an understanding really," I replied, trying not to look as embarrassed
and as tense as I felt, "so what's on your mind Raoul?"
"Well
you may think that I am pretty arrogant but I wonder how you would feel if I
took Susan out tonight?" he said. "Just the two of us," he
continued in case I had been in any doubt.
"Do you
mean a date?"
"A
date! Yes!" he responded quickly.
"Have
you asked her?"
The moment I
asked that question we both knew what my answer would be. I hadn't reacted
angrily, told him to 'f*ck off or had taken a swing at him. Anyway, I already
knew that he had asked her and she had said yes.
"She
said she would love to as long as I ask you," he replied as he looked back
at me with an unswerving gaze.
"You do
understand that she is a married Woman with two small children, don't you? She
is not just some blond bimbo," I said, in the forlorn hope that he hadn't
thought it through.
"He'll
yeah!" he replied. "That's the attraction!"
"So
you're attracted to my Wife; is that what you are telling me?"
"Who
wouldn't be? She's beautiful, desirable and very, very good company,"
Raoul replied honestly, plainly aware that he had just told me, in so many
words, that he desired my Wife.
"And
what about the other little problem that Susan and I have," I said,
"two of them in fact."
"You
mean Jenni and Tom?"
"The
kids are not to be effected in any way," I replied in confirmation of his
question.
"They
will not be," he replied forcefully. "Anyway, Susan tells me that you
have rediscovered some fathering skills."
"I
have," I confirmed, "but they must not miss their Mum for any reason.
Do you understand?"
"You
have my word David," he replied in response to my warning. "Does that
mean that you agree to Susan and I dating tonight?"
His use of
the word 'dating' instead of 'going on a date' was instructive and I was in no
doubt at all, if Susan and he had a nice time tonight, the two of them would
progress their new relationship along predicable lines. My Wife was destined
for this handsome Black Man's bed, of that there was no doubt.
"I
guess so!" I confirmed. "But as her husband it is not going to be
very easy for me to accept that my Wife is dating another man."
"I
understand," Raoul replied with genuine concern, "but there are a few
ways for a husband to lessen the angst."
"Angst?"
"The
hurt and worry can be alleviated if hubby becomes part of the process
David."
"Process?
What Process?" I asked, genuinely confused.
"The
process of a Wife and the developing relationship with her new friend," he
replied.
"How
does that work?" I asked, still confused.
Raoul smiled
and said, "It could start tonight David. You might find the whole thing a
lot easier on you if you help Susan get ready for our date tonight. Do you
think you could do that?"
“I always
help her dress when we go out for the evening,” I replied lamely, “I guess that
tonight would be no different.”
“That’s
good!,” he said as he rose out of his chair to leave, “And perhaps you could
bring her to the bar at eight o’clock to meet me.”
“I suppose I
could do that too,” I replied, as another thought struck me. “And where are you
taking my Wife on your date tonight?” I asked.
“There’s a
nice little beach bar just a few minutes walk just around the headland. I
thought that we would have a couple of drinks there,” he replied.
I watched
him as he walked away to talk to Susan. There was no swagger in his stride - no
triumphalism - he was just a big guy going to see a pretty Woman playing with
her two kids in the paddling pool. And I found myself liking him for that lack
of hubris in his moment of success.
Her smile
was genuine as he told her what my answer had been and it was no surprise to me
that they spent a few more minutes talking before he went back to his own
sunbed under the large umbrella he shared with Clare and Marcus. But my mind
was racing; I had just permitted another man to take my Wife on a date - why
had I said yes so easily? I could have made it more difficult for them both but
then again I am a man of my word; my job in the bank demands it of me so to
break it would have been unthinkable. So why had I been so accommodating? And
what is this thing called the ‘Natural Order’? Is it a force of nature or is it
something else?
As if to
answer my questions, it was at that moment that Clare and Marcus rose from
their beds and went down to the beach hand in hand. I could not hear what they
said to each other but within seconds, Raoul’s big black brother Marcus, knelt
on the hot sand as Clare climbed up his back and straddled his neck. With
consumate ease he then lifted his Lover up in the air on his shoulders,
carrying her as if she was just the lightness of a small feather.
I gazed at
the beauty of the scene just a few yards away. Her soft pink skin against his
dark brown was a vision of beauty. It was so natural. It was so right. It was,
without doubt, the Natural Order of Things.
|
It was, without doubt, the Natural Order of Things. |
And I, for
the first time, began to realise just what it was, and what my part in it was
going to be.
After lunch
I took the kids back to the room for their afternoon ‘cool down’ and sleep and,
as before, I sat on the balcony in the shade looking out over the pool and
beach.
Raoul had
joined Susan on my sunbed and the two of them were chatting away happily just
as two Lovers would in such beautiful surroundings. There was no attempt to
hide their attraction to each other and I was struck by how close they had
become in such short a time, and as they held hands to go for a swim in the sea
their personal intimacy was palpable. Even from a distance.
This time
they did not go as far out as the day before, but made their way to a swimming
platform that was tethered about a hundred yards from the beach where they sat
close together to warm themselves in the sun. They were alone out there so it
was little surprise to me when Raoul leaned towards Susan and kissed her
lightly on the lips. Sue’s reaction was to immediately curl her arms around his
neck and pull his lips hard down onto hers. As I watched from afar, there was
no uncertainty in my mind that my Wife was becoming deeply attracted to this
handsome black man. But I was beginning to wonder just how much of this display
was for my benefit. Was I being prepared by them both for the inevitable?
|
Was I being prepared by them both for the inevitable? |
What were my
feelings as I watched my Wife with another man as she invited his passion? The
wave of emotion that washed over me, not for the first time, could not be ignored.
The jealousy I felt at experiencing my rejection by my Wife in favour of Raoul
was tempered by something else which at first I did not understand or
recognize. Confusing and mixed emotions would be one way of describing how i
felt but it was only when that I realised that my small penis was fully erect
in my shorts that I knew what the other emotion was. It was excitement! I
was aroused by seeing them together and at last I understood just what I was.
And so did they.
I was
surprised that they dived back into the sea about twenty minutes later, which
seemed to confirm my suspicions. I was being primed for what was about to occur
and I knew it, I was being readied for my cuckolding - and I bloody-well knew
it.
The two
Lovers swam back to the beach where they decided to follow Clare and Marcus’s
example by Raoul lifting Susan up on his shoulders. Like Clare, Susan appeared
to be but a feather on Raoul’s shoulders and even I had to admit that they
looked every bit a happy and beautiful couple. The touble was, of course, that
the pretty lady with her vulva pressed against his neck was married to me.

... the pretty lady with her vulva pressed against his neck was married to me. |
The rest of
the afternoon was pretty much like the previous day’s except that Susan and I
didn’t talk much and just played with the kids. She smiled once or twice to
Raoul who was sat across the other side of the pool with Marcus and Clare but
mainly we attended to our children’s wants and wishes - it was their holiday
too!
Tom and
Jennie were fast asleep before Susan and I had a shower and started to get
ready for our night out. I hadn’t forgotten about Raoul’s advice but I wondered
if he had told Susan the same thing.
“Aren’t you
going to help me get ready for my date tonight?” she asked as she stepped naked
from the shower. “I thought that Raoul had advised you that it might be helpful
for your peace of mind.”
“Yes of
course Dear,” I replied, “what would you like me to do?”
“Dry me with
that big white towel of course and then lay out my black dress on the bed,” she
replied as if it was the most normal thing in the world to tell me what to do.
“Of course
Dear,” I replied as I dabbed the drops of water from her back, her breasts, her
long lovely legs and her pretty round arse.
“That’s good
David, she said after she was dry, “now if you look in the top drawer of the
dressing table you will see a small black thong put that with the skirt and
blouse.”
“Yes Dear!”
I was now getting used to being told what to do; and I was beginning to like
it.
She had
called the thong small, but it was nothing of the sort - it was miniscule. It
was little more than a postage stamp with three pieces of black elastic holding
it together. I had never seen it before, either at home in Tunbridge Wells or
in our hotel room in Crete, and I couldn’t help wondering when and where she
had bought it.
“This is new
Dear,” I commented.
“I bought it
in Agios last night,” Sue replied. “Clare and me left the boys in a bar and
went shopping together. “She said that it was the kind of thing that Raoul
would like.”
“I see!”
I did ‘see’.
I saw exactly what was going on. Sue had already talked to Clare about having
an affair with Raoul and the ‘Black Owned’ Mistress of Marcus was encouraging
her to do just that. So why was I so surprised? Their attraction to each other
had been for all to see since we had met by the pool on the first day.
A naked
Susan stepped out of the bathroom seconds later and stood looking quizzically
at me as I laid out her clothes for the evening. She kept her gaze on me for
just a second before she said, “you know that you don’t have to do this Dave. Just
because Raoul suggested it, doesn’t mean that you have to obey.”
I stared
back at her for a second. ‘Should I or shan’t I?’ I thought. But
there was no way that I was not going to play my part in this little story of
love and surrender; so I knelt before her and pulled the elastic of the thong
apart so she could step into it.
“Okay then!”
she said quietly, remaining still as I eased the tiny thong panties up her legs
to nestle comfortably between the cheeks of her arse and to cover the ‘barest’
minimum of her pretty triangle of soft dark blond fur.
"What's
the matter David?" she said suddenly.
"What
do you mean?"
"Your
hands were shaking," she said as I stood up to pick up her skirt from the
bed. "And they still are."
I looked
down and sure enough the dress I was holding was rippling from my tremulous
grip; but there was no secret why this was happening. I was not ill or
frightened; it was the realisation that I was helping my own Wife prepare
herself for a date with another man - a big handsome Black man who I had
witnessed kissing her the night before and on the swimming platform that
afternoon. Raoul was
after Susan and I had to admit to myself that she was very much willing to be
taken by him.
"I just
realised that I am doing this for another man," I said, in what I hoped
was not a whining or complaining tone.
Sue just
smiled as she stepped into the dress that I held open for her.
"You
wouldn't me to look tatty on my first proper date with Raoul would you?"
she commented as I pulledup the zipper.
"Of
course not!"
"Then
let's hurry up, it's nearly fifteen minutes to eight and Ariana will be here soon."
I was
already dressed so, even with my shaking fingers, I managed to finish dressing
her just moments before our babysitter knocked lightly on our hotel room door.
It was as if
the whole hotel knew what was about to happen when we walked into the bar
together. Had the word got around that the pretty blond Wife was going on a
date with the handsome Black Man? Did I care? Well not if relative strangers
knew that I was a ‘yet to be’ cuckolded husband.
I did my
best to look unconcerned as the people in the bar went quiet while we walked
hand in hand across the small dance floor to where Clare and Marcus were
waiting; but inside me my heart felt heavy and my stomach was turning over. But
where was Raoul?
I sensed
Susan's concern and I was confused. Was this a big hoax; a joke on a pretty
Wife who thought she could attract a large powerful Black Master like him.
It was Clare
who sensed our discomfort and teased Susan by saying, "You didn't think my
Master's Brother would stand up the Lady he desires so strongly and wants to
make love to, do you?"
"He
said that?" Susan asked, still looking anxious.
"Not in
so many words Dear," she replied, "but Raoul talks of nothing else
but you. It seems he has the hots for a pretty blond Mother of two."
"So
where is he?" I asked as Susan's hand tightened
"He's
waiting for you to bring Susan to him. He's on the balcony just through the
other side of the bar," Clare replied. "And come back and join Marcus
and me when you have given your Wife to Raoul"
'Given my
Wife?' I thought, 'Is that what I'm doing?'
Raoul
watched, smiling, as we approached him through the bar and out onto the wooden
balcony where couples sat at night looking out at the sunset sipping Ouzo and
Ice or other pre-dinner aperitifs.
Susan's
smile was loving and warm as we walked up to the big dark man who waited
patiently and assuredly for me to deliver my Wife to him.
"Thank
you for bringing Susan to me David;" he said as he reached out and took
her hand in his own, "I promise to look after her."
"That's
good to know," I replied - not knowing the right words a husband should
use when he passes the Woman he loves to another man on their first date.
I was about
to turn away, when Susan put her hand gently on the side of my face and said,
"Thank you Dear," and then kissed me on the cheek.
What was
that moment of tenderness for? Was it the natural empathy between a loving
married couple or was it her saying 'sorry' for what she was about to do? Was
she saying thank you for being understanding and releasing her from the
shackles of the marriage vows we took years ago?
With these
questions in my mind, and sick at heart, I turned away and walked back into the
bar and joined Clare and Marcus.
"Do you
think it will be tonight?" Clare asked as I sipped the beer that Marcus
had ordered for me.
"What?"
I asked. But I already knew what she meant.
She nodded
her head in the direction of Susan and Raoul, who were still on the balcony.
"Do you
think your pretty Wife will acquire a new Black Master tonight David?"
Clare asked, with a knowing pretty smile on her equally pretty face.
I looked at
the pair of them, lost in a tender loving kiss, alone on the balcony.
"If not
tonight, it will be very soon," I replied honestly.
|
"If not tonight, it will be very soon," I replied honestly. |
"I
agree," replied Clare, " and tonight, while our two Lovers decide
just how much they desire each other and just how to consummate their yearning,
I shall tell you how my husband Clive manages to live the life of a contented
cuckold."
"Yes!
Please do," I replied as I watched Susan and Raoul walk down the steps and
away along the path to enjoy their first date.
