Gabriella's Journey - Awakening

Author's Note

Trigger warning that this story includes non-monogamy (ethical) in a marriage relationship. I tagged it cuckquean because that term is more well known, but it is really a hot husband (think hotwife) type of story. There is zero humiliation or anything like that.

Introduction

Gabriella met and fell in love with the husband women dream of finding. Ruggedly handsome and fiercely devoted, Adrian's driving passion was to provide for her in all aspects of their relationship, emotionally and physically. She has been content to let him lead the way throughout their intimate relationship, gently opening her up to pleasures and desires that satisfied her to the core.

So why was she having these intrusive thoughts now? What had started out playfully as reading spicy book recommendations from the online community has her contemplating the previously unthinkable. A random story describing a woman sharing her husband with a friend led her down a wonderful rabbit hole when she discovered how much it turned her on.

Could she really share Adrian, her Adrian? What would he think? What if he said no? Would he want to divorce her for even mentioning it?

What if he said yes?

Awakening

If asked at that very moment what she was feeling, Gabriella wasn't sure how she would answer. Nervousness? Absolutely. Excitement? Yes, if she stepped outside of herself as an impartial observer, excitement would be on the list. Or was it fear? The increased heart rate and blast of adrenaline causing jitters throughout her body could be attributed to either emotion. What is the difference between fear and excitement when it comes to something new? Perhaps it is the attitude one has when approaching the situation.

Other sensations coursing throughout her body fell strongly in the camp of "excited." Her nipples were firm, the cotton of her bra almost scratchy from the increased sensitivity. Her heartbeat throbbed between her legs. As fast as her heart was beating, the pulsing was more akin to the rhythmic pounding Adrian treated her to than a gentle occasional reminder of her arousal. Her panties clung damply to her and would have to be changed soon if she couldn't reign things in. Her skin felt like it was crawling with anticipation.

Her phone buzzed and she read the text notification on her watch.

"going inside now" -- 8:01 pm

Had her ears been ringing before? She didn't think so. Now she felt like she was sitting on the front of a train, speeding through a tunnel, all other sounds drowned out by the air rushing past her. She also noticed that she was holding her breath. Gabriella forced the air out of her lungs and gasped deeply. 20 seconds had passed. 30. 45. She responded.

**********

Adrian was completely obsessed and committed to Gabriella. Gabriella knew this with absolute certainty throughout her being. Their friends and family were well aware of their devotion and attraction to the other, as effusive as they were at demonstrating it to each other while out and about. Holding hands, arms around waists, kisses on the neck, telling each other "I love you" when heading off in opposite directions. If encyclopedias were still a common feature of household bookshelves and PDA was the subject, they would be the example picture. Casual observers would call it "New Relationship Energy." After learning it had been this way since they first met 15 years ago the verdict would change to soulmates.

Adrian especially prided himself on ensuring Gabriella felt safe, happy, and valued. While he had no false notion that he was the perfect husband, he made a conscious effort to say and do the things that brought her joy. He consistently told her how beautiful and sexy she was and he truly believed it. She did similarly and, likewise, the words originated from pure truth. As a couple, they attributed a large percentage of the reason for their success to their desire to please the other person emotionally and physically.

Both were very satisfied on the physical front. Initially, sex in their relationship had been what some might call tame or vanilla. Passionate, but not adventurous. From their first date when they ended up back in Adrian's bed, they discovered they were very compatible and immensely eager for each other. He keenly deduced that while Gabriella was not a prude (after all, they did end up spending most of that weekend naked in his apartment, although afterward she insisted that she wasn't one to fuck randoms without establishing a relationship first), they didn't exactly push the boundaries of experimentation. Adrian typically took the lead in bringing new ideas to the bedroom and her natural inclination was to follow his lead, usually eagerly with just a few boundaries.

There had been very little in the way of foreplay that initial evening they met. A tornado debris field of discarded clothes marked a trail to the bedroom. Adrian guided Gabriella to the edge of the bed and she laid back on the cool sheets, spreading herself for him, inviting him in. He rolled the condom down to the base of his cock and climbed onto the bed, resting on his knees between her legs.

He wasn't one to overtly brag on himself, but his cock had received a good number of compliments from partners. It wouldn't be described as a porn star dick, maxing out at just over 6.5 inches when he was fully aroused. What it had was a nice amount of girth. Enough to differentiate it from the average penis that would present itself during a random encounter, but not extreme enough to cause panic for most partners. More than once it had garnered the nickname "Goldicocks" due to its capability to deliver perfect pleasure without lasting pain.

Gabriella's initial assessment led her to the same conclusion. It looked like the perfect penis to fill her up and it absolutely was. He guided himself into her slowly, although he hadn't needed to be so careful as aroused as she was. The slight outward pressure from his thick cock against her inner walls produced a wave of pleasure through her. She was so wet he was able to continue forward in one single stroke until she completely engulfed him. His body pressed wonderfully against her engorged clit. He began to grind his hips in a slow circle. She didn't know if he had planned that from the beginning or not, but the sensation against her clit was breathtaking.

Adrian established a nice rhythm, sliding out until just the head of his cock remained inside her pussy, the lips gripping his shaft. A smooth motion returned him to her depths, quick and deliberate, not pounding away mindlessly, but neither slow nor romantic. There was passion and hunger. On each inward stroke he made sure to press himself against her clit, the head of his cock stretching her just the right amount to cause her eyes to roll back each time. His pace quickened but was always measured, never out of control.

She could feel the delightful pressure building. While she wasn't wild and crazy, neither was she content to just lay back and let him do all of the work. She wrapped her legs around him and could feel his butt muscles contract at the start of each journey of his cock inward. She would pull him in each time, encouraging him to fuck her harder. Her breath quickened and her moans of pleasure increased in volume and pleading. Adrian was observant, recognizing the point of no return approaching for both Gabriella and himself. He dropped his head to her breasts, sucking a nipple between his lips. Her response was immediate and positive. His tongue flicked back and forth across her nipple, his mind picturing doing the same to her clit. He moved to her other breast, repeating what had produced more moans. Unable to hold off any longer he pulled her nipple further into his mouth, between his teeth. A slight nibble is all it took. Her legs tightened around him, pulling him as deep as possible. He allowed himself to let go, his cock filling the end of the condom with his come, throbbing inside the vice grip she was placing him in. She screamed in pleasure as the first wave hit, although she could barely hear herself, her ears ringing louder and louder.

The rest of that first weekend followed a similar theme. The only time clothes came into play were the times they went out to round up some food. Adrian was still a bachelor and didn't stock his refrigerator or pantry for multi-day guests, much to her amusement. The relationship progressed swiftly after that. 8 months later they were engaged. 10 months after the engagement they were married in a small, tasteful ceremony attended by their closest friends and family. They were on the same page on so many topics from children (neither were interested and Adrian ended up having a vasectomy after their 10th anniversary) to pets (both preferred dogs, but cats were cool too) to outside interests (golf and hiking). All in all, it was as close to idyllic as one could describe a relationship.

"arrived at her place. heading inside to pick her up" -- 6:00 pm

"headed to the bar" -- 6:23 pm

"arrived at the bar" -- 6:30 pm

"leaving the bar. headed to her house" -- 7:52 pm

"going inside now" -- 8:01 pm

Gabriella stared at her text messages and kept re-reading them, starting with the most recent one.

"going inside now" -- 8:01 pm

Her heart felt like it skipped a beat with the arrival of each message. Per their agreement, she reacted to the message with the thumbs up emoji. The thumbs up indicated that Adrian was good to proceed. A yellow sun symbol was their version of a yellow light. Don't bail on things, but slow down for a bit until either a thumbs up or the stop sign appears. The stop sign meant he needed to stop things immediately and head home as quickly as possible. He had insisted on at least this level of communication. From the beginning she had said that she didn't want to know details until he got home, but he wanted some way for them to check-in periodically.

Before pressing the icon for the thumbs up, she paused briefly over the yellow sun. "This is what you want. This was your idea," she told herself. She only hesitated for a few seconds before finally pressing on the thumbs up.

That final response to Adrian was akin to an archer's fingers releasing the bow string, sending an arrow soaring through the air until it struck the target. The action had been initiated. There was no reaching out and snatching the arrow back into the quiver. It was out of her control and would soon bury into its aim, producing consequences that she wouldn't have predicted before today.

Her pussy had never ached for his cock as intensely as it did right then.

**********

Adrian arrived at Julia's house a few minutes before 6 pm. He was always on time for events, but he also didn't want to show up too early in case she was still getting ready. He had the text message typed and ready to send to Gabriella as soon as the clock in his car rolled over to 6. He still couldn't believe that he was sitting here in another woman's driveway about to knock on the door. When Gabriella had first broached the subject with him, he almost thought it to be a trap. He knew her though and that was not her style.

Even though he had quickly dismissed the trap idea from his mind, he still approached it very cautiously. Although he had his fair share of fun adventures when younger, once Gabriella came into the picture he had not felt desire or need for anyone else. Attraction, certainly. He wasn't immune to the appeal of beautiful women. However, he had not experienced anything that even approached the possibility of wanting to stray. She was all he needed.

She wasn't wild in bed. Insatiable at times, but still he had always been the one to slowly introduce new activities. To her credit, she was always willing to give something a shot, trusting him implicitly to avoid anything that would truly hurt her physically or emotionally. He had been able to tell from their very first weekend that this was how it would have to go. As passionate as they had been, everything they did that weekend didn't venture beyond their hands exploring each other, their mouths teasing each other, or him fucking her pussy until she was shaking from another orgasm.

Over time they progressed. Him performing oral with either her riding his face, his tongue swirling around her clit until she came or her mouth sliding up and down his cock, tongue caressing the underside until she felt him start to twitch, pulling him out and stroking him while he came on her breasts. Anal entered the picture later. It had started with a finger sliding into her ass while he fucked her doggy style or when she rode him like a cowgirl. Eventually she worked up the courage to attempt to take his cock. She had to be very aroused to even entertain the idea and they had to use plenty of lube, but she was so proud when she finally managed to fit all of him in there, riding him until he exploded in her ass.

Other additions came with time. Toys were purchased and added another dimension. She discovered that she loved to suck his cock either while he pumped a dildo in and out of her pussy or she slid it into a toy mount and rode it. The sensations from both ends tended to overwhelm her, but they were delightful. They also engaged in a bit of light BDSM from time to time. Nothing extreme, she simply enjoyed giving him full control to use her for his pleasure however he wanted, but he always spent at least as much time pleasing her in ways that continued to surprise her.

So it had come as quite a shock one night sitting on the couch when she had brought up the idea of him fucking another woman. The leap from where they were in their relationship to what she was proposing felt like attempting to jump the Grand Canyon on a minibike. She had finally built up the courage to let him know what she had been feeling for weeks now and jumped straight to the proposal. She had waited nervously for his response.

"I'm... I'm really not sure what to say. Obviously some couples do it, but it hasn't really ever been something that I've attempted before or even thought seriously about," he had told her.

"I know and I'm still not sure exactly how I feel about it. I know we agreed early on that neither of us were interested in knowing all of the nitty, gritty details of past relationships. You have a reputation among your friends though, and as they got to know me better I at least learned how skilled you were at pleasing women. Oh, my first hand experience already confirmed that, but I was told a few stories you didn't know I knew about. Nothing too specific though and they never revealed who in our circle had 'first-hand' knowledge of each story."

She continued, "All I know is that at times when I would play if you weren't here, certain images would start to pop into my mind. You, sitting on the edge of the bed while some other woman gave you a sloppy blowjob. Then you standing behind her, your strong hands grabbing her hips and pumping into her from behind. What the ecstasy on her face must look like when she's on top, riding you, your thick cock impaling her over and over. Maybe it had something to do with some of the naughty stories I would come across online. Those mostly went in the opposite direction with the wife finding other lovers, but I have no desire to be shared with someone else. I started flipping the genders in my mind, picturing you as the one being shared. Lately I've started seeking out stories specifically written where the girl is sharing her guy. I knew at that point I had to say something."

Adrian's cock stiffened hearing these words come out of her mouth.

"Look, what you're saying sounds really hot, but you have to know, I could never think about reciprocating that. The thought of another guy touching you does nothing for me, except make me start to think about how angry I would be. I also worry about irrevocably breaking what is between us. I could go the rest of my life without being with another woman. Potentially losing you would break me."

She replied, "I understand and you have to believe that I have no desire for another man. You are everything to me and I would never suggest that. And I'm still working on this internally. I'm not sure it would 100% happen. But I'd like to explore it and see where it leads."

They discussed pitfalls and boundaries. She knew she didn't want anything to happen in their house. Beyond that she didn't place limits on what he did while playing with the other person. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know details, but he was willing to provide as much information as she needed. She absolutely wanted to be a part of finding someone and he insisted that she have no-questions-asked veto power. They worked out their equivalent of a stoplight system to easily communicate feelings.

The sex they had that night was electric. He had a suspicion that when her eyes closed, she was picturing him doing that exact activity with someone else, but he didn't want to risk trying a little bit of dirty talk around her suggestion and breaking the moment. All he really knew was that she appeared to come at least 3 times that evening and he was exhausted afterwards.

**********

They began the search the next day. Gabriella had done her research and discovered ways to seek out others. It wasn't easy. Most of the sites and apps were geared towards couples looking for a bull to come in and fuck the wife or girlfriend. Adrian had no interest in anyone that was married or otherwise in a committed relationship. He didn't want to complicate someone else's relationship or run into the possibility of them eventually proposing the guy hook up with Gabriella. They finally stumbled across the right app and included their situation in any descriptions so that any potential matches would understand that they weren't unicorn hunters.

After several near misses they came across the profile for Julia. She wasn't looking for a bull. She wasn't looking for a relationship. She simply wanted some casual fun and appeared to be a great potential match. They scheduled a FaceTime call to get to know each other and discuss the situation. Typically this is where previous encounters fell apart. Even though Adrian was careful to include all of the details of his relationship with Gabriella and exactly what they were interested in, all of the previous women had bailed once they met Gabriella and Adrian on FaceTime. Imagining hooking up with a guy in a relationship was one thing. Facing the other woman, especially one as stunningly beautiful as Gabriella, changed the equation.

Julia was hesitant at first and they both figured it would fizzle out like the others. She asked plenty of questions, most of which focused on Gabriella's part in all of this and exactly what she wanted. Adrian elaborated on answers when appropriate and Julia appeared to find him engaging and easy to talk to. The majority of the conversation happened between Gabriella and Julia. To wrap it up, they asked Adrian if they could speak individually without him present and he readily agreed. Once he disappeared, Julia restarted the dialogue.

"Ok, now that he is gone I have to ask you, is this really your idea or are you being coerced into it by him? If so, I'll make up some bullshit about just not feeling it. I'm not looking to cuck someone's wife or girlfriend."

"No, no, this was completely my idea. I approached him about it first. He has been wonderful to take into account all of my desires, fears, and emotions. If I called it off, I know he would stop at whatever point I started to feel uncomfortable." Gabriella went on to recount the conversations Adrian and she had before reaching out to Julia. Julia was especially impressed with the stoplight/emoji concept they had come up with to make sure everyone was on board with each step.
