Journey of a White Marriage Ch. 01

Lucy sighed as she dropped her keys on the counter, the soft clink of metal against granite echoing through the quiet apartment. The day had been long, filled with back-to-back meetings and a stack of case files that seemed to grow larger by the hour. When she started working as a lawyer in the decorated law firm a few months ago after obtaining her law degree, she could hardly believe her luck. In the meantime, the tough everyday working life has taken a firm grip on her.

All she wanted to do now was to relax, maybe browse a few online stores for something that would make her feel a little less like a stressed-out lawyer and a little more like the confident woman she knew she was.

She slipped off her heels, the coolness of the wooden floor soothing against her feet, and made her way to the small office nook they'd set up in the corner of the living room. Their Chicago apartment was cozy, still new enough that the walls felt bare, but Lucy loved it. It was theirs. Hers and Daniel's. A fresh start in a city where they knew no one, just the two of them building a new life together. Lucy and Daniel, both in their late 20s, have been married for a year now and soon want to start a family in their new cozy home.

Settling into the chair, she flipped open her laptop and clicked on the browser, ready to indulge in a little retail therapy. She had a few dresses in mind--something sleek, something sexy, maybe something to surprise Daniel with. But as she opened the browsing history to retrace her steps from the other days, her eyes caught on something... unusual. She glanced at some unfamiliar entries in the browser history.

"Forum: Urban Swingers Chicago. Thread: How to start swinging with your partner."

"The Story of how my wife became a hotwife."

"Discussion: Our open marriage and how it changed us."

Lucy blinked. "What the hell?" Her heart skipped a beat as she stared at the screen. She didn't even know what "swinging" and a "hotwife" was, but the words alone sent a strange shiver down her spine. Curiosity got the better of her, and she clicked on the different links.

The page loaded quickly, and Lucy found herself scrolling through a thread filled with people talking about their experiences: sharing their wifes, attending parties, exploring cuckold fantasies together. Her cheeks burned as she read the explicit details, her stomach twisting with a mix of shock. Her fingers moved on their own, clicking through more threads, more stories, more revelations.

"Is this really what married couples could do?" she thought, her mind racing. "And why does Daniel hang around on such websites?"

The sound of the front door opening snapped her out of her trance. Apparently Daniel is back from work. She switches off the computer, her heart pounding in her chest. Daniel's footsteps echoed in the hallway, and before she could think, he appeared in the doorway, his tie loosened and a tired smile on his face.

"Hey, babe," he said, his voice warm. "How was your day?"

Lucy stared at him, her mind still reeling. She couldn't form words, couldn't even remember what day it was. All she could think about was what she'd just seen--what he'd been reading.

"Babe?" Daniel frowned, stepping closer. "Are you okay?"

"I... I saw your browser history," she blurted out, her voice trembling. "What's the deal with swinging and all that stuff? And why do you hang around on sites like this?"

His face went pale, and for a moment, he looked like he might deny it. He ran a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry you saw that. I... I didn't mean to." he said quietly. "These are just a few wild fantasies of mine."

Lucy's stomach churned. "About sharing your wife with strangers? Are you serious? That's... that's insane, Daniel. We're married. We're supposed to be... exclusive."

"It's not about not loving you," he said quickly, his voice desperate. "It's not about that at all. It's just... a fantasy. Something I've been curious about."

She shook her head, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. "I don't even know what to say. This is... I can't believe you're even thinking about this."

Daniel moved to sit on the edge of the desk, his eyes pleading. "Lucy, listen. I... I love you. More than anything. This isn't about letting you go or something like that. It's just... I've been fantasizing about these things for a long time, even before we moved here. But I didn't know how to deal with it and what you would think about it."

"What I would think about that??" she repeated, her voice sharp. "What the hell am I supposed to think about that??"

He hesitated, then sighed. "I understand that you are hurt. I get that. Please let us forget the whole thing and never bring it up again."

Lucy crossed her arms over her chest, her mind racing. She didn't know what to feel--anger, confusion, perhaps even a trace of sadness. But she couldn't process it. Not now.

"I need some space," she said finally, her voice quiet but firm. "I... I have to think about all this. And how I should handle this situation."

Daniel nodded, his expression pained. "Okay. Whatever you need."

She stood and walked past him, heading straight for the bedroom. As she closed the door behind her, she leaned against it, her heart still racing. The images from the forums flashed in her mind--people laughing, touching, exploring. It was so far from anything she'd ever imagined for herself.

She slipped into bed, pulling the covers up to her chin, but sleep didn't come. The room was quiet, the only sound was the faint hum of the city outside. Daniel was on the couch--she could hear the soft creak of the springs as he shifted. She wondered if he was as restless as she was.

Her mind kept circling back to the forums, to his confession, to the questions swirling in her head. "Could I ever do something like that? Would I want to? Or is this the end of everything I thought we had?"

The night stretched on, and Lucy lay there, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts spinning in a loop. She was still shocked, but after a while, she realizes that curiosity began to grow inside her. The idea of embarking on a new sexual adventure spreads through her mind.

Maybe she could enjoy this too?

-----

The next morning, Daniel woke up to the noise of the cars outside on the street. He sat up on the couch, rubbing his eyes, the events of last night flooding back in a wave of unease. His neck was stiff, his back sore from the uneven cushions, but he couldn't bring himself to sleep in their bed... not after that conversation they had. He padded into the kitchen and started to brew himself a pot of coffee. The smell of it was comforting, but it did little to ease the knot in his stomach.

Just as the water began to boil, his wife walked in, her blonde hair tousled, her face still soft with sleep. She wore one of his old t-shirts, the fabric hanging loosely off her frame. Her eyes met his, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.

"Good morning babe" Daniel said finally, his voice tentative. He handed her a mug, the steam rising between them.

"Morning." Lucy replied, taking the coffee. She hesitated, then took a deep breath. "About last evening... I couldn't stop thinking about it. About what you said."

Daniel froze, his grip tightening on his mug. "Lucy, I..."

She held up a hand, stopping him. "Let me finish. I was... shocked. And confused. And maybe a little hurt, at first. But I kept thinking about it. And I realized something. I want to make you happy, Daniel. I love you. And if this is something you've been fantasizing about... I'm willing to try it. For you."

Daniel's eyes widened. "Are you serious? Lucy, you don't have to do this. I told you, it's just a fantasy. I don't want to push you into something you're not comfortable with."

Lucy shook her head. "I know. But it's not just about you. The more I thought about it, the more my curiosity grew. I think I want to see what it's like. Together with you."

Daniel stared at her, his heart pounding. He could see the resolve in her eyes, the determination that had always drawn him to her. "If you're sure... then okay. Let's try it. Together."

Lucy nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Good. Because I already started looking into it last night. I found some forums, read some stories. I think I understand what this is all about."

Daniel blinked, surprised. "You... looked into it?"

She shrugged, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Couldn't sleep. So I did some research. And I... I made an ad."

"An ad?" Daniel's voice was barely above a whisper.

Lucy set her coffee down and pulled her phone from her pocket. She tapped the screen a few times, then handed it to him. On the screen was a picture of her, taken just a few months ago. She was wearing a black lace lingerie set, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, her lips curved in a sultry smile. Beneath the photo was a description, written in her usual straightforward tone:

"Married couple seeks a confident, respectful couple to explore the swingers lifestyle with us. Must be discreet, open-minded, and willing to take things at our pace. Serious inquiries only."

Daniel's heart skipped a beat as he read the words. He looked up at his wife, his breath catching. "You... you're really sure about this?"

Lucy nodded, her cheeks still pink but her gaze steady. "Yes, I'm sure."

He swallowed hard, his mind racing. "I... I don't know what to say."

"Just say yes," Lucy said softly, reaching out to take his hand. "Let's take this step together."

Daniel hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay. Yes. Let's do it."

Lucy smiled. "Good. I'll post it now."

She took the phone back and tapped the screen a few more times, her fingers moving with purpose. Daniel watched her, a mixture of excitement and anxiety churning in his stomach. He had never imagined this would actually happen... had never thought Lucy would be willing to explore this side of him. But here they were, taking the first step.

Later that evening, after dinner, they sat together on the couch, Lucy's laptop open on the coffee table. She refreshed the page, her eyes scanning the responses that had come in throughout the day. Most were... unimpressive. Flirty messages from men who clearly hadn't read the ad, poorly lit selfies that did nothing to inspire confidence. But one response caught her eye.

"Daniel, look at this," she said, turning the laptop toward him.

The message was from a man named Marcus. His profile picture showed a black, broad-shouldered man with a confident smile. Next to him is a black woman with a warm, elegant appearance. His message was short and to the point:

"Hi Lucy, I saw your ad and I'm interested. Me and my wife have been in the lifestyle for a few years and we do understand the importance of respect and discretion. Would love to meet up and chat more. Let me know if you're interested."

Daniel's throat went dry as he read the message. He glanced at Lucy, who was already typing a response.

"What are you doing?" he asked, his voice tight.

"Setting up a meeting," Lucy replied, her tone calm but with a hint of excitement. "If we're going to do this, we need to meet them first. See if there's a connection."

After she had finished speaking, Lucy noticed something stirring in Daniel's lap. A slight bulge was forming in his jeans. She glanced up at him, a knowing smile playing on her lips. Without a word, she reached over and placed her hand on his thigh, her fingers inching closer until they brushed against the hardness growing beneath the fabric.

"Does it excite you to know that we've found someone who could screw me? And the fact that he's black?" Lucy whispered, her voice low and sultry. Her hand slid over his zipper, feeling the heat of him through the denim. Daniel's breath hitched, but he didn't pull away. Instead, he leaned back slightly, his eyes closing as she unbuttoned his jeans and slipped her hand inside.

Her fingers wrapped around his cock, already half-hard and twitching at her touch. She began to stroke him slowly, her movements deliberate and teasing. "Tell me," she urged, her breath warm against his ear. "Do you want to see him take me? Do you want to watch him make me his?"

Daniel moaned softly, his hips lifting into her hand. He didn't answer, but the way his body responded told her everything she needed to know. His cock grew harder with every stroke, his breathing shallow and uneven. Lucy tightened her grip, her thumb brushing over the sensitive tip, and felt him pulse in her hand.

"Let go, baby." she murmured, her lips grazing his neck. Her hand moved faster now, her strokes firm and steady. Daniel's body tensed, his hands gripping the edge of the couch as he surrendered to the pleasure. With a low groan, he came, his release spilling over her fingers.

Lucy smiled, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and anticipation. She wiped her hand on a tissue, her eyes meeting Daniel's. He looked dazed, his cheeks flushed, but there was a hunger in his gaze that hadn't been there before.

"Let's meet them tomorrow," she said softly, her voice steady despite the excitement coursing through her veins. Daniel nodded, his breath still uneven, but there was no hesitation in his response.

"Okay," he whispered, his voice thick with desire. "Let's do it."

"We could meet them at that bar on the corner. It's public, so we'll feel safe, but it's quiet enough to talk." Lucy suggested.

"Okay," Daniel said again, though the word felt foreign on his tongue. He watched as Lucy finished typing and hit send, the message disappearing into the ether.

The next evening, they walked into the bar together, their hands clasped tightly. The air was thick with the scent of whiskey and cigarette smoke, the low hum of conversation filling the room. They spotted Marcus and his wife immediately. Lucy shuddered briefly. Marcus was even more striking in person--tall, with a commanding presence that drew the eye. The two were talking when Marcus noticed Lucy and Daniel. He stood as they approached, his smile warm but not overbearing.

"You two must be Lucy and Daniel," he said, his voice deep and smooth. "It's nice to meet you. This is Doreen, my wife."

"Nice to meet you too," Lucy replied, her voice steady despite the butterflies in her stomach. They sat down, the four of them forming a small circle at the table.

The conversation flowed surprisingly easily. Marcus and Doreen both work in the medical field, Marcus as head physician and Doreen as a surgeon. The two describe that they have already met such an arrangement with several couples and are experienced.

"So, just to clarify," he said. "You're new to this, and you're looking for someone to help you explore. We can both help you out with that. However, first of all, we need to build up mutual trust. This is especially necessary between the two of you" he looks at Doreen and Daniel "and us" as he's turning to Lucy.

Lucy and Daniel look at each other for a moment with confusion, then Lucy says to Marcus "I understand that about trust, but why specifically between the two of us? And how are both of you imagining this?"

Now Doreen joins in with a smile "Well, that's worked so far with the other couples. All four of us are involved in our arrangement, but we should do it this way in the initial phase." Here Marcus adds, "It won't be long, don't worry."

Lucy sighs briefly and then says, "All right, how are we going to proceed?"

"Next weekend we will be doing an "initiation". Daniel will come to our house and spend time with Doreen while I come to you. During this time, we'll teach you a few things that are important for our future together," Marcus explains in a calm tone.

Lucy and Daniel both look at each other again. Daniel nods to signal his agreement. Then Lucy replies "okay, we agree."

"Wonderful," grins Marcus. "I'll send you more information and instructions later this week."

From the conversation, Lucy slowly begins to realize that the black couple will take on a more dominant role than either of them. Although she is a little unsure, she also starts to find this very interesting and exciting. She had never experienced anything like it in her life.

"We're looking forward to what's to come." Daniel explains to the two of them.

Marcus and Doreen are visibly delighted. "Wonderful, you won't regret it. This will be a completely new experience for all of us. Just trust us," said Doreen with a smile on her face.

Lucy and Daniel couldn't know it at that moment, but the black couple still had plans for them that went much further than what they have just talked about...
