Hi As I said in my first post, the past year has been an important one for me. After years of an abusive husband I had finally found some for of sex and friendship in James and Kate. Our adventures continues and I they are great friends. This final part is the most recent and ongoing of the last three months. So let me set the seen, think I’d had about three fun afternoons with James and Kate and started socializing when I got the chance. Kate said she would introduce me to some of there friends, some in this lifestyle but most not. One afternoon I was invited round to there house for a drink and a few nibbles, they said they would ask a few friends to pop round as well. I was a little nervous because at this point I didn’t really know the social graces of being a married woman having a relationship with a married couple. Off course looking back it was pretty crazy to think James might blurt out about are activities and another guest would spit out there drink in shock, but I was still new ! Anyway, there I arrived and I was the first there and Kate briefed me that there friends know there lifestyle but it probably isn’t best conversation over afternoon tea ! Soon later a couple arrived who were close friends of James and Kate. They were call Andy and Paula, very nice couple a Similar age to me probably. We had a few drinks and chatted and they were really very nice. Then shortly after the doorbell went again and on came a man named Jake. He was very friendly from the bat and we had a pleasant afternoon. He really did seem a really relaxed kind of person and I liked that straight away. So it was a lovely afternoon and we went our separate ways. Next time I did Kate’s hair she mentioned how Jake had asked about me a few times. Obviously still living with my husband I couldn’t really get involved with him but Kate said she had told him my situation and that he didn’t mind. So she said that Andy and Paula the couple I had met we’re having a party and I could tag along with them. Only thing was it was in the evening so my husband would have been wondering what was happening. Anyway I said I’d try and figure something out and I decided I would go. I told my husband I was going out with my cousin and asked her not to say anything if he asked about it. So the night came and I tried to dress casual but well a little well turned out ! James drove us there and we had a great evening. Jake arrived toward the end of the evening and I managed to catch his eye and he came and said hello. We had a great chat and he told me he was a builder and he really seemed genuinely intrested in me. I tried to play it cool but I really did like him. We danced and laughed and had a really wonderful night. As I left with James and Kate I wondered wether he was going to ask for my number, we said are goodbyes and got in the car but nothing. James started driving and all of a sudden he come and tapped on the window and gave me his number. Now, 2 months on things have changed massively ! Jake took me out a few times during my dinner breaks at work and we got to know each other better. He’s asked about my situation with James and Kate knowing there lifestyle. I’ve told him what are arrangement is and he was a little unsure but he said he would try to accept that. About a month he stopped by my house when my daughter was at school and husband and work and we made love for the first time. It’s so refreshing not only having James and Kate as friends but having a lover who cares about my feelings. When he’s inside me tells me he loves me, when we kiss I shake like I used to as a teenager. We’ve only known each other around 3 months but he has talked about finding a house for us and my daughter. Of course we aren’t going to rush into anything yet, at some point my husband is going to have to find out which will be difficult but I feel for the first time in years optimistic. I’m glad to say as well that he’s said he’s getting more comfortable with idea of me with James and Kate and he’s curious about being involved although still a little unsure. All I can say is this, through out the awful marriage I’ve had your experiences on here have provided some excitement for me but now have given me the courage to look after my self. I know that there is difficulty that comes with this lifestyle but I believe that my sexual experiences have helped me overcome my fears and to grow as a confident woman. I don’t know how things will develop from here but, thank you all so much xxx
