How does she like kissing you with the taste of Conor’s cum on your breath?
Did she know you blew him when she got done with her shower, or did she walk in on you.

Since G and I have done some snowballing with his cum, she's more than fine with the taste of his cum on my breath.
And when she finally came out of a long shower, Conor told her he got one of my "world class blowjobs." Her only comment was she wishes we would have waited for her.

Hi Bi,

if what they decided bugs you, then you need to have a talk with G. From what you've posted the 2 of you have a solid relationship, so I don't think she will be offended and I suspect she'll just say sorry babe didn't realise it would upset you, will discuss with you in future. I'm sure you would expect the same from her if you and C did something off the cuff and it bugged her.
Remember the two of you are married and have allowed C in to your relationship as a guest.
I'm not sure how to articulate this yet, but in the back of my mind I have this feeling that what has developed between you, G & C, needs careful monitoring by you & G, as you said earlier. The three of you are in a true triangle and something just niggles me, you and G need to communicate, communicate, communicate and be observant, especially since you are submissive to C, not sure if you are to G as well, not sure if you've written about that. C is the common denominator and the two of you need some alone time to check and talk everything over. Hopefully I'm making some sense as I said not sure how to articulate it yet, but have this woodpecker pecking away, saying be vigilant.
Hope you and your bro are having a good time or as best can be.
Yes, Gordon, I have talked to them. I actually feel kind of like an ass. They both apologized tho they didn't need to. It was all pretty innocent. It was a last minute decision since it was going to be a really hot weekend and they didn't want to be stuck in the city so they came up with the waterpark idea. I definitely overreacted and apologized to both of them. The good news is Conor said we'd make up for it when they got back. Hmmmm, I might look forward to that lol.
As for my brother and I, it would be hard not to have a good time together. I just love the kid. I think he's more hurt by being rejected than by losing the gf. We didn't really like her anyway. And he can do far better.
And definitely submissive to Conor but not to G. I don't think she's into that.
And I'd definitely be interested in knowing what "niggles" you.
It bugged you so you were correct to raise it, issue sorted, communicate.... It's just you 3 are in a triangle, that makes things a little more complex. Your later posts about your brother.. it's late here in the UK will think and post tomorrow.

I think Christinebitg got it right when speculating that it was the public exposure element of Conor as G's husband with her wedding band showing she's married that was so unsettling. It might be an option worth considering that G takes her wedding rings off if out in public and alone with him. I know that could also make the jealousy and angst far worse too, so really would depend on how you feel about it, just thought I'd throw it out there incase it might help.

That's an interesting twist - G and your brother getting it on maybe sometime in the future, looks as if he's pretty understanding and you've got a great brotherly relationship with him, that must have been a bit of a shock though when you realised he'd overheard.

Chris
It was one of those times where you wish you could go back and do something differently. But on the other hand, he's my best friend, we've told each other everything always, so I'm kinda glad I'm not holding anything from him anymore. But I've also decided that I'm not going to tell G that my brother knows. The temptation would be too great for her and she'd get them in bed in no time. I'll get it to happen at some point (I already told him I have to watch and he said fine) but we have a good thing going with Conor, we both really like him, and there's just no point to fuck that up.
I'd suggest slowing way down on the brother thing. He may be your best friend, but he is first and foremost your brother. The college roommate, Connor, or any other person you and G may bring into your relationship in the future all have one common denominator. You and G can move on from them. They can be removed from the equation. Your brother is family and will always be in your life, hopefully. There are somethings even for those living in the lifestyle that are much better left in the realm of fantasy.

You'll get plenty of people chiming in support and egging on the idea of G and the brother here shortly if not already. They do soon in the hopes of driving the narrative your story to the extremes. But you seem like a smart guy Bi, let common sense prevail here and think through all the real life consequence of bringing your brother into your relationship.

Ya, Nekkid, I've already slowed that one down. As you saw in my post, I'm not telling G about it. It would just complicate things and so why do that when the 3 of us (G, C and me) are in a good place. I already talked to my brother and he's fine. He said it was too good to be true anyway.
Thanks for the note!

So Conor called me. He wants to hang out for a night. I asked him if it was a date. He said if you want to call it that. His roommate is away and he wants me to stay overnight. Hmmm, not gonna say no to that but I asked him if he talked to G about it and he said she’s fully supportive. And I confirmed that with her. So, I think it’s going to be tomorrow night.
I had to ask him, tho, despite the fact I would do it in a heartbeat, why he wanted to spend the night together. He gave me a couple of reasons. One, he likes me and just wants some one on one time. He reminded me that he doesn’t have any close friends here but feels like we’re getting to be good friends. He also admitted that while he is not gay (for the millionth time) he said he’s not straight either and I’m giving him the opportunity to find out more about himself. And “what we do in the sex department doesn’t suck.” He wants to learn how to cook some (I love to cook and am pretty competent at it) so he asked me to teach him how to make one of the dishes I’ve made for him and G. We’ll have that for dinner. Besides, he said, we’ll be drinking so I shouldn’t drive. I guess he forgot about Ubers.
So, we’ll see how it goes. I keep asking G if she’s ok with it. It’s her boyfriend, not mine. But she wants me to go. Hopefully, it’s not another chance to dismember me.

Sounds a genuine opportunity for you two to really get closer knowing G is very supportive. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth as the saying goes, just be happy, go with the flow and see where things lead.

I stayed at Conor’s last night. All in all, it was a pretty good night, tho it started off a little awkwardly. I don’t think we were both completely at ease at first. We made small talk for awhile and I suggested we go through the dinner recipe. He was standing right beside me and he was looking and smelling so good and I was really horny so I just went ahead and rubbed my finger across his dick (noticeable in his bball shorts) and I asked him if I was going to get any “of this” tonight. He said as much as I want lol. Within minutes we’re on his bed getting after it. I told him there was no need to be gentle and so he wasn’t. When we were done, again he said “that’s as good as any pussy I’ve had.” We laid there for a bit talking (while I ran my fingers through his amazing pits; sorry it’s a fetish I have with hot guys) and he said he’s been checking other guys out and none of them really do anything for him. He said he feels differently with me and admitted that he actually masturbated thinking about what we had just done. That almost gave me an erection. I asked him if he had ever masturbated thinking about other guys and he said he did in college a couple of times. I asked him if it was the guy who gave him bj’s and he said he was never ‘feeling It’ with him. We had made out some while he fucked me and after what he just said I really wanted to again. So I leaned in and we had a pretty passionate kiss, enough that we were both hard again. But, reluctantly, we agreed we should get dinner ready and eat, and to save that for later.
After we had sex, all the earlier awkwardness was gone. We had great conversations, we were touchy, feely with each other and just enjoying being together. I taught him how to make the dinner and it was really good, we had a little wine and then cleaned up the mess we made. Afterwards, we sat together on his sofa, kind of leaning into each other. It was quiet because I needed to ask “the question.” I asked him what he was hoping for with “us.” He said he finally met a guy (me) who he was interested in, especially sexually. He said we needed to talk to G and that he didn’t want anything to change with her but since we were in an open marriage maybe she’d be ok if he and I did our thing too. Basically, she’d be the primary lover and I’d be the side thing. I would be fine with that but said I’d like to be with him once a week or so. He said that works for him. So now we just need to get G in the conversation.
Once I got a better idea for how he feels about me, I cozied up to him on the sofa even more. Before long, he was naked and I was basically worshipping his body. It’s freaking amazing. I was going down on him and he was creating the rhythm by grabbing my hair. He stopped me cause he was getting close and said he wanted to fuck me again. We went back to his bed, took care of business, and eventually went to sleep.
His last words that night were we need to this again.
So we definitely made some progress in our friendship/relationship.
And I’ve already talked to G a couple of times today. We didn’t get into anything too much but I know she’ll be fine with what Conor and I are thinking.

No worries at all on that score, don't be deterred by expanding out with detail as that would be a real shame.

The details are what makes it interesting especially when you and your wife are sharing the same BF.

It's actually also very cool that we can ask each other questions about sex with him (e.g. Did you suck his dick? how many times did he fuck you?). We'll be spending a lot of the weekend with him.

So Conor is staying with us for the weekend. It’s a long holiday weekend and we didn’t want him to be by himself. But this is more of a comment on how awesome this lifestyle can be.
Last night, Conor and G were laying on the sofa together and I was in a chair next to them. We were just watching a movie. In the middle of the movie, they start pawing at each other and making out and clothes start coming off so I ask if I should pause the movie. I heard a grunt that sounded like a yes so I stop the movie. At one point, I’m sitting there watching my wife with another man’s dick in her mouth (and playing with myself) thinking she needs to pay attention to his balls too (I know he really likes that). Eventually they fuck right on the sofa next to me and when they finish I asked them if I could clean her up, which they let me do.
I just can’t imagine not having experiences like this throughout my life and otherwise living in a routine, monogamous marriage. There are lots of times filled with angst and jealousy but watching them and listening to her moans of pure pleasure make it all worthwhile.
And tonight is my night with Conor.

Hi,
The beauty of the thread is in the details.
Please flesh(lol) out your accounts with details. How his cock tasted, what it felt like entering your ass, the noises he makes, you make, Gi makes.
What positions they fuck in, how she sucks his cock compared to you.
What he does while you and Gi fuck.
What does Gi do while you two have sex?
It sounds like he fucks you, but have you entered his ass yet?
Does Gi show any interest in using a strapon or vibrator on your ass as you suck Conner off?
The thought of Gi fucking you while you suck Connor off sounds insanely hot. Again both of them using your body for their mutual pleasure.
I still love hearing about you on your back, connor’s cock buried in your ass and Gi sitting on your face while they make out and USE your body for their mutual pleasure.
Given your submissive nature has there been any talk of chastity play with you wearing a chastity device. Not to put you in long term chastity, but to take advantage of your submissive nature. Perhaps for a weekend day, 24 hrs, you must wear a chastity cage while they have inhibited sex with each other. Your only role would be to give oral to Gi, both at random times and specifically to clean her after getting a load from Connor, as well as random blowjobs or ass fucking from connor, as well as cleaning him after fucking Gi. You would only have a chance to come from Connor fucking your ass and stimulating your prostate or Gi fucking your ass with a strapon.
After your 24 hours are up, you become an active sexual member of your triad.
Just a kinky thought.
Does Gi ever wear sexy lingerie for you two? Might be time to start.

So, G was convincing him to do it, I practically begged him to, and I told him he could stop at any time if he didn’t like it. G told him he could go as hard as he wanted that I could take it....
This is my favorite part of your story, G is basically pimping you out, and I think from your writing that she could talk any guy into it if he had the slightest bi-curiosity.

I can answer a couple of the questions.
Even tho I taught G how to suck cock, she's not as good as me. Conor shares that opinion too. I can get his whole dick down my throat and he's 8". And I know it's about more than deepthroating but I just suck him really good. He calls them world class lol. G only gets about 1/2 in. I've never fucked G in front of Conor. I'd probably lose my erection because I feel pretty inferior to him in bringing G to orgasm and making her feel good. When I'm either giving Conor a bj or he's fucking me, G is usually masturbating and/or making out with Conor. Sometimes both G and I will be going down on him together and then making out with his load in our mouths. And the only thing that I have put in his ass have been my tongue (he told me to eat his ass the first time so he likes it) or fingers. And he already said my dick is getting nowhere near back there which is fine cause I'm a total submissive bottom. And he's kinda new to all of this but is slowly getting more aggressive, which I like.
And the thought of G fucking me is something I've thought about but I've never brought it up to her. She knows I have a dildo but I hadn't thought of a strap-on.
And if they wanted to cage me, I'd be ok with that, just as long I can still get fucked by them and do oral on them. And she doesn't wear lingerie for me too much any more but she does for Conor.
I like kink so I'd be up for all of this.

If she wants to pimp me out to Conor, I'm fine with that. And I agree with you that she could talk many guys into fucking me or sucking my dick.

Hi Bi,

you were only asking about cages the other week, I would advise you sit down with a piece of paper and divide it into two column, Positive and Negative then list the positives and negatives in their respective column.

Just a few negatives - can't use the urinal, will always have to go to a cubical, I've not had one and won't, but reading on here they can cause your urine to spray, you will need to buy multiple before you find the right one, if you used sport changing rooms - can't anymore, you're not submissive to G, so who is going to control it, etc, etc.
Positive - Kink..
I've not commented much as you lot have been doing well, but have been reading.
All the best

Yes, I've been reading about them. I haven't heard some of things you mentioned tho. The humiliation and the thought that my sex life is in someone else's control seems pretty erotic to me. Especially if it's both G and Conor who I'm assuming would each get a key. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. The more I get into this, the more I want to push things some tbh.
G knows that I'm submissive and she sees it with Conor. So I'm just going to explore it with her and see what she thinks at some point.
