<p>“Jealousy can be a good thing,” Keri explained on their way to a friend’s engagement party.</p><p>“I’m not sure I agree with that,” Trent countered. “Jealousy always seems like a hugely destructive thing. In fact, it seems like the thing that destroys relationships. Isn’t jealousy just a manifestation of insecurity?”</p><p>“A certain kind of jealousy is,” Keri said. “But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the kind of jealousy that makes you appreciate the person you’re with. I’m talking about watching another man flirt with your wife and realizing that she’s incredibly hot and that you’re lucky to be with her.”</p><p>Trent looked over as they pulled up to a red light and saw a playful smile on his wife’s face. She looked radiant in a blue dress and white heels, and with her hair pulled into a side ponytail she managed to pull off seeming both casual and dressed up at the same time.</p><p>“Are you trying to tell me something?” Trent asked.</p><p>“I’m just saying that it never hurts for a man to remember that he’s married to a beautiful, vivacious, sexy woman, is all,” Keri replied.</p><p>“A man? Are we talking about any man in particular? Me, for instance?”</p><p>Keri’s tone was playful as she asked, “Are you saying that you’re married to a beautiful, vivacious, sexy woman?”</p><p>Trent reached over to caress his wife’s leg and glanced at her. “I am saying that, yes.”</p><p>“And would you feel jealous if someone flirted with me at the party? I am going to be a bridesmaid at the wedding and you know how guys like to flirt with the bridesmaids.”</p><p>Keri was being playful, but Trent couldn’t shake the notion that there was something bubbling just underneath the surface that he was missing. She’d never really talked about flirting with other guys, jealousy, or trying to inspire a greater sense of appreciation in him. Was she feeling a little neglected? Had he been lax in his husbandly duties? They were almost at the party so it wasn’t the time to talk about it, but he wondered if a difficult conversation awaited him at some point.</p><p>“Yes, I would feel jealous,” Trent said. “I wouldn’t hit anyone or yell at you, if that’s what you’re asking. So, not the destructive kind of jealousy, I guess.”</p><p>“Good,” Keri said as Trent pulled into the driveway.</p><p>A valet opened Keri’s door and Trent got out to hand the young man the keys as he marveled that their friends had paid for a valet service at their party.</p><p>“Are you planning something?” Trent asked his wife as he admired how good she looked in her dress.</p><p>“Of course not,” Keri replied, but again she flashed a smile that left Trent confused.</p><p>Keri took his hand and gave Trent a quick kiss on the cheek before they headed into the party.</p><p>“I love you,” she said.</p><p>“I love you too,” Trent replied as they joined the crowd of well-dressed friends and family members celebrating the engagement.</p><p>“Keri!” Lucy, the bride-to-be, screamed when she saw Keri and Trent walk in. She scampered across the room and offered hugs to both of them.</p><p>“Congratulations!” Keri said. “Let me see the ring.”</p><p>Lucy held up an impressively large diamond and Keri cooed over it like a good friend should.</p><p>“It’s gorgeous. Just like your fiancée,” Keri said.</p><p>“Congratulations, Lucy,” Trent added. “We’re so excited for you.”</p><p>Lucy flashed a giddy smile and said, “Me too! I’ve never been so happy. I know we’re not married yet, but it’s already so much better than I thought it would be. His family is amazing and they’ve been so good about keeping the planning as low stress as possible.”</p><p>“You’re already planning the wedding?” Keri asked.</p><p>“Keri, honey, you know me. I was planning the wedding before he proposed,” Lucy said. “Speaking of which, let me steal you away for a little so I can introduce you to the other bridesmaids and the groomsmen, including the guy you’ll be walking down the aisle with.”</p><p>As Lucy led Keri away she leaned over and whispered something, prompting Keri to look back and smile at Trent before both girls giggled.</p><p>Deprived of his wife’s company, Trent made his way to the bar, ordered a beer, and dropped a few bucks in the tip jar before surveying the room to see if anyone he knew had been invited to the party.</p><p>The search ended abruptly when he spotted Keri talking to what he assumed was one of the groomsmen. Immediately Trent suspected he knew what the whispering was about. The guy appeared to be the embodiment of the ideal male with a square jaw, a perfectly coiffed head of hair, and a long, lean body that seemed to have been poured into a fitted suit.</p><p>At first Trent watched with a sense of curiosity. How could a man be that good looking? How was something like that even possible? Then Keri laughed and leaned a little closer. She did that flirty thing that women do and reached out to touch the guy’s arm. She wasn’t tearing her clothes off or leaning in to kiss him, but Trent couldn’t help but feel that jealousy Keri had talked about. Did she know about how hot the groomsman was before arriving at the party? Had Lucy told Keri who she’d be paired up with?</p><p>For a moment Trent considered the notion that Lucy had paired them up with a purpose. Perhaps Keri had confessed a certain amount of frustration to her friend and Lucy had done her a favor by putting her together with this perfect-looking man so she could have a little flirty fun without any sense of guilt. After all, Lucy had probably put them together at the engagement party so they could get to know each other before the wedding. It was entirely possible there was no ulterior motive other than letting her friend chat with a gorgeous guy for a bit.</p><p>Trent was headed down the rabbit hole when Rich, the groom, came over to order a beer. “Hey man,” he said.</p><p>“Hey!” Trent said. “Congratulations, man.”</p><p>They shared a quick hug and Rich grabbed his beer before turning around and leaning against the bar next to Trent.</p><p>“How are you feeling?” Trent asked.</p><p>“Great, honestly. I know some guys get kind of worried when they pop the question, but Lucy’s incredible. She hasn’t even broken a sweat with the wedding planning,” Rich explained.</p><p>“I’m not surprised. Lucy’s an organized woman. She plans ahead. I mean, even this party is fantastic. You’ve got a valet out front and a bartender in your living room. I can’t imagine how incredible the wedding is going to be,” Trent said as his eyes drifted towards his wife once again.</p><p>“That’s Liam,” Rich said.</p><p>Trent gave his friend a puzzled look and asked, “What?”</p><p>“The guy Keri’s talking to. That’s Liam. He’s actually Lucy’s friend from college. She didn’t want to do the thing where she has a guy in her bridal party so she asked me to make him a groomsman. He’s from Australia. I don’t know if he spent his childhood wrestling crocodiles or fighting kangaroos or something, but he’s got that whole man’s man thing going on. Plus, the accent seems to be irresistible to women,” Rich explained.</p><p>“Is he single?” Trent asked as a wave of jealousy washed over him.</p><p>“I’m afraid so, buddy,” Rich said. “I’m afraid so.”</p><p>Trent stared daggers at Liam and considered rushing across the room and breaking the beer bottle over his head.</p><p>“Trent, man, relax,” Rich said. “I’m just yanking your chain. Liam’s a great guy. He’s not going to seduce your wife or anything. They’re just talking.”</p><p>Trent looked at his friend and Rich unleashed into a raucous laugh.</p><p>“It’s a party. Have another beer. Relax. Hell, there are lots of beautiful women here. Go do a little flirting yourself if you’re so worried about it,” Rich said. “Have some fun. I’ll catch you later.”</p><p>Rich headed off and Trent put back the rest of his beer and smiled. His friend was right. Why was he acting like a jealous, insecure asshole? His wife was talking to another guy. It’s not like she was forbidden from doing that.</p><p>“Okay,” Trent said to himself. “Get it together.”</p><p>He resolved to go over and introduce himself to Liam, but not before a quick stop in the bathroom. Trent pushed his way through the crowd of guests, emptied his bladder, washed his hands, and returned to the party to find that his wife had disappeared from the spot where she and Liam had been talking.</p><p>A momentary sense of panic engulfed Trent as he assumed his wife had been seduced by the handsome Australian. He tried his best to look casual as he walked through the house in search of Keri. He waved to friends, engaged in a bit of small talk with a few people, and came up empty-handed. Keri was nowhere to be found.</p><p>Then Trent heard the faint sound of his wife’s distinctive laugh. He followed it like a bloodhound on the trail of a fallen duck, leading him out the back door and into the lushly landscaped backyard.</p><p>Trent tiptoed towards the sound of conversation and peered around the corner to see Keri and Liam sitting together on a bench set against an ivy-covered wall. There was plenty of room on the bench but they were right next to each other, pressed thigh to thigh. Liam had his hand on Keri’s leg and she seemed utterly delighted with him.</p><p>Trent was about to step out from his hiding spot and confront his wife when she glanced at him. There was no sense of panic in her eyes or her body language, though. Instead, she smiled. She smiled like it thrilled her that Trent was watching. The smile kept him in his place. Liam was too busy looking at Keri to notice that someone’s head was peeking around the corner so there seemed to be little danger of being discovered.</p><p>Keri uncrossed her legs and Liam’s hand moved up her thigh by a few inches. He wasn’t being egregious about it, but he’d clearly taken the uncrossing of her legs as a sign that she was inviting him to do a little more touching. The fact that Keri didn’t do anything to dissuade Liam from touching her struck Trent as an obvious sign that she was, in fact, inviting him to get a little friskier with her.</p><p>Trent was tempted to stop whatever Keri was doing, but the fact that she knew he was watching kept him glued to his spot against the wall. The fact that she’d smiled when she saw him made Trent believe Keri found it thrilling to have him watching and he was willing to see where she wanted to take her little flirtation.</p><p>It wasn’t until Keri put her hand on Liam’s leg that the interaction between them seemed to take on a different tone. They stopped talking and he looked into her eyes, seemingly studying her intent. Trent wondered about his wife’s intent too. What was she doing? Was she trying to drive Trent insane with jealousy? Did she want him to punch Liam? Did she want him to stay right where he was and watch her? He couldn’t figure it out, which is why he chose to stay in place.</p><p>For a few seconds Liam stared into Keri’s eyes. Then, she moved her hand up his thigh. She was no longer being coy. She was being overwhelmingly obvious. Unsurprisingly, Liam responded by leaning closer and kissing her.</p><p>Trent’s pulse raced as he watched his wife kiss the handsome Australian. His heart pounded so hard he could feel it in his chest and he was greeted with a touch of lightheadedness and weakness in the knees. Most surprising of all was a little bit of arousal mixed in with the jealousy and insecurity.</p><p>All of it got worse the longer the kiss went on. It wasn’t a quick peck on the lips. It was the kind of first kiss that quickly develops into something far deeper because the chemistry is immediate and electric. It was the kind of kiss that reveals a surprising depth of passion between the two people sharing it. It was the kind of kiss that filled Trent with intense jealousy.</p><p>Much to his dismay – and a little bit to his delight – Keri let her hand wander all the way up Liam’s thigh until she was rubbing the very obvious bulge between his legs. Trent stood stone still and watched. He watched his wife kiss another man and caress his cock. He watched without even considering stopping it.</p><p>Likely because of Keri’s eagerness, Liam pushed his fingers between her legs. Trent couldn’t tell if another man was fingering his wife, but he was certainly playing with her pussy in some manner.</p><p>Trent watched his wife and Liam open their mouths. He watched their tongues get involved in the kiss. He watched their passion bubble over. He even heard Keri moan just a little.</p><p>When the kiss ended Keri looked like a woman possessed by lust. She was breathing heavily, her eyes were wild with desire, and she had a giddy smile on her face. Liam pulled his fingers from between her legs and she released his cock and leaned closer to whisper something in his ear.</p><p>Liam said something in response, but they were talking too quietly for Trent to catch any of it. Then, Keri gave Liam a soft kiss on the lips, stood up, and walked towards Trent. He moved back so Liam wouldn’t see him and a moment later Keri rounded the corner, took his hand in hers and dragged him towards the house.</p><p>“What was that?” Trent asked.</p><p>“Shhh,” Keri said as she pulled him inside. She spun around, pulled his body against hers, and said, “Wait here for thirty seconds and then meet me in the bathroom at the end of the hallway upstairs.”</p><p>There was no time to confront her about what she’d done with Liam or ask what the hell she was talking about as Keri spun away from Trent and headed towards the stairs. The only decision to make was whether he was going to follow his wife or refuse.</p><p>It wasn’t really a decision. Trent was filled with a wild mixture of emotions after witnessing his wife kiss another man, but anger wasn’t one of them. He was going to follow her, and after thirty seconds he made his way upstairs and stepped into the bathroom.</p><p>Keri’s panties were on the floor and she was seated on the counter with her dress around her waist and her wet pussy exposed.</p><p>“Fuck me,” she said. “I know you want to. I know that watching triggered something. I saw it in your eyes. Now lock the door and fuck your wife.”</p><p>Trent locked the door and approached his wife. He stepped between her legs and Keri wrapped them around his waist and pulled him close.</p><p>“Do you want to kiss me?” she asked.</p><p>Trent nodded.</p><p>“Are you sure? Even after Liam kissed me?” she asked.</p><p>Trent didn’t offer an answer. Instead, he pressed his lips against hers and Keri moaned as they shared a wildly passionate kiss. She sucked on his tongue and reached down to unzip his pants and pull out his cock.</p><p>Keri broke the kiss, smiled, and said, “Jealousy can be a good thing,” as she took Trent’s cock inside her.</p><p>“You’re so wet,” he said while fucking his wife slowly.</p><p>“Are you surprised?” she asked. “You saw Liam, didn’t you?”</p><p>Trent fucked her a little harder.</p><p>“You saw how hot he is, right? He’s a good kisser, too,” Keri said with a smile. “A really good kisser.”</p><p>Trent fucked her harder. The sound of their loins meeting over and over filled the bathroom and he suspected that if anyone else came upstairs they’d hear it, but he didn’t care.</p><p>“That’s it, baby. Fuck me. Fuck me hard. Fuck your wife’s wet pussy,” Keri said before kissing and sucking on his neck.</p><p>Keri spread her legs and leaned back as Trent mustered all his strength to pound his wife. She reached down to play with her clit as he filled her pussy over and over. She was trying to keep quiet, but Keri couldn’t help but moan.</p><p>“He wanted to fuck me,” she said. “He wanted to be the one in the bathroom with me. He wanted to take me up here and fuck your wife.”</p><p>Trent felt his balls tighten. His loins tingled with pleasure. The head of his cock felt alive and his wife’s wet pussy massaged it with every thrust.</p><p>“You told him no?” Trent asked between deep thrusts.</p><p>“Sort of,” Keri said.</p><p>“What does that mean?” Trent asked as he continued to pummel his wife’s perfect wet pussy.</p><p>“I told him he could fuck me at the wedding,” Keri said.</p><p>A split second later she climaxed. Her eyes closed, her mouth opened, and she unleashed a squeal of pleasure as her thighs twitched. Her pussy clamped down on Trent’s cock and he came inside her. He buried every inch of his dick in her perfect cunt and unleashed his seed as a shockingly pleasurable orgasm ripped through his body.</p><p>“Holy shit,” Trent said as he laughed at how astoundingly powerful his climax had been.</p><p>“I know,” Keri agreed. “That was incredible.”</p><p>Trent grabbed a handful of toilet paper, handed it to his wife, and pulled out. She caught the cum dripping out of her, moved to the toilet and sat down so as not to make a mess all over their friend’s bathroom.</p><p>“That last part,” Trent said. “You just made that up, right?”</p><p>Keri looked up at him and shook her head.</p><p>“Keri, c’mon. Are you messing with me?” Trent asked.</p><p>“No. I told him he could fuck me at the wedding, but it’s six months from now. Who knows if I’ll still be interested by then,” she said.</p><p>“What about me?” Trent asked.</p><p>Keri smiled and said, “Jealousy can be a good thing.”</p><p>As much as he might have wanted to, Trent couldn’t really argue with that.</p>
