CHAPTER 10
Walter fucked my wife four more times over the next two months. Then he grew bored. Jacqueline assured me it wasn't my wife that bored him; it was simply his way.
Jolene took it hard for a couple weeks, but realized it had run its course.
I lay with my wife in bed one night, a month after learning there would likely not be any more get-togethers.
She stroked her fingers down my chest. "Are you sure there's nothing going on between you and Jacqueline?"
I looked at her with a suffering glance. "You know there isn't."
"So…"
I was confused. "So?"
She toyed with my chest hair. "So if someone else came along…"
Oh. I raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"
"I mean, is that something off limits now?"
I put down my stupid magazine. "Off limits? I think we got out of it what we wanted."
"Yes."
"But you mean if a new opportunity presented itself?"
She nodded.
I knew what she meant. She had very much enjoyed it and would I be willing to do it again? I stroked her face. "Only if the man was ready to respect you as good as or better than Walter."
She smiled, then, nodding. Her love was evident and she petted my head in return. "I love you."
"And I love you."
