Just a reminder to ask Lana.william70 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 7:06 pmI would really like if Lana could answer this, but if not, so be it.
Lana, you have said you "love Shaun". Shaun has said that he is "in love with you".
You have said that your love for Shaun will grow stronger while he is there with you. Can I assume you will "be in love with Shaun" at that point?
At that point certain things take precedent. What I mean by that is, things change, especially if you both (you and Shaun) truly are "in love" with each other. Have you put any thought to what those changes might look like?
As you and Shaun grow closer and closer together, what's in it for Shaun? It feels to me like your relationship with Shaun is like a runaway train with no intent of slowing it down until it possibly crashes and causes real harm.
You have said you could call it quits IF w asked you to. Is Shaun just expected to fall off the map. I hope for Shaun's sake, that this is a conversation you both will have with him.
Anyway just some thoughts.
It might actually happen after years of telling me no.

Hope the trip has gone well.
Perhaps while Shawn in in town, Lana could wear his collar for the entire time...like a stylish choker necklace that you all three know means that she belongs to him when she's wearing it.

With them being together in "your small town" is there concern that your secret arrangement goes public?

How long before their evenings start to get wild?
Also, I remember last Christmas one of the sets of parents turned up unannounced a couple of times. I wonder if they will show up again this year while Lana and Shawn are in full swing?

Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
I imagine a lot of soul searching was done this weekend. And Lana will be on absolute fire this week. Shaun even be live streaming his reunion with Lana to all his Zoom friends lol.
Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
Hey everyone,
Vacation was really nice. We made love almost every day and really got a chance to connect. The bad part about vacation, however, is that we both constantly continue to get work emails, and so even though we're both off and not technically obligated to respond to any of the emails, it's hard not feeling the stress of falling behind. So the last 2 days have been hard on us both, as we've been trying to catch up on emails and client matters. Busy morning for me tomorrow, but I'll try and update more substantively in the afternoon.
And yes, Shawn and Lana have plans to finally meet up this weekend. Perhaps Friday

Welcome home again! So glad to hear Lana and you had a nice time and got to connect.
Too bad work stuff still left you guys stressed. But hope you both get to catch up quickly again!
Looking forward to hearing the updates
All the best.

Can’t wait to hear all about your vacation and the lovers’ reunion happening this weekend.
Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
These are fair questions to ask. And I know I've spoken a lot of "heat of the moment" decisions, but I honestly feel like Lana and I have the same priorities for our family and marriage that no matter how far down into this we go, we both can make the tough decisions together, even if that means pulling the plug, and even if that means doing something that we don't want to do in the moment. Kind of like how a drug addict feels pain when he quits, but in the long term, it's better for him. And with your questions on Shawn moving out here, staring a poly relationship, etc. - it's all hypothetical and if anything, an interesting thought experiment, but ultimately, we don't see it going there. My apologies for the non-answer.Jole30 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 10:47 pmI understood them falling in love and you encouraging it (by letting her go to Cali, etc ..). What worries me is letting that love grow and become deeper as you and Lana expect it will, during his visit. You and Lana have both said that you (W) can pull the plug on it all any time you like (if you feel your marriage is threatened). My question is, can you REALLY pull the plug on it? How will Lana feel about you if you do? Where are your red lines? What if Shawn decides to move east and wants a poly relationship? How much of Lana are you prepared to share? All hypothetical I know, but I've always felt that this question of, at what point do you put the breaks on, has never been discussed. If a poly relationship would mean Lana and the baby spend half of every week with him and the other with you, would you agree to that?
It's interesting, Lana has expressed to me that even though she may have feelings of jealousy, she would be okay if Shawn were to "fuck" Cara, but she really doesn't want to see him "make love" to her. There might be some blurred lines there, so I'm not 100% certain it will actually happen.
I think there is risk here, but they will likely try and keep it quiet as much as they can. It's especially amplified in the sense that most of the people that live here are away at their second homes for the winter.Whenwillshe wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 6:13 pmWith them being together in "your small town" is there concern that your secret arrangement goes public?

Thanks! It was a really nice trip and the timing was perfect in terms of getting over being sick.3532734dreamer wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 12:59 pmHi w770.
Hope you and Lana have a safe trip and a great time while you two are there!
Update: Thanks for the well wishes on the trip. It was a really nice vacation and a great change of scenery given the loss of one of our dogs along with the health of parents etc. Soooo many guys were staring at Lana the entire time we were there, on the beach, at the gym, at the pool, etc. One guy even went up to her when I went to the bar to ask her if we were married and to tell her that I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
We made love several times over the week and it really reminded me of when we first got together. It was just us and she was so enthusiastically wanting me inside of her, the intensity of each time we did it, the afterglow feeling of catching our breath after we finished - it was all really nice.
However, after the third day, I sensed that she was wanting to start up with the Shawn-talk. So we started to incorporated him into whenever we'd make love. "You really want him inside of you, don't you?" "Yes baby.... I want him to take me in front of you...."
So then after we returned home, both of our phones started going off with notifications from Shawn and how he was back. He's been spending time with his parents and some other family that are in the area until Friday or Saturday I believe, and then his parents fly to Florida for 3 weeks. I believe the plans are for Lana and I to go on our Friday night date tomorrow, and possibly meeting up with Shawn later that night. Interesting note - after Lana had fallen asleep last night, her phone kept making chat notification sounds. She has a friends chat with 4 or 5 of her girlfriends from college, and one of them is a nurse, meaning that she keeps really odd and late hours. This tends to mean that once her nurse friends gets off of work at midnight or later, she'll catch up on the chat and text a million times. This never bothers Lana as she tends to be a deep sleeper, but for me, the constant notification sound keeps me up. So I reached over to silence Lana's phone when I saw that the texts were coming from Shawn instead. I looked at the chat and saw that Lana had told him, "I really need to be fucked. Making love is great, don't get me wrong, but it's been too long since I've been tossed around and made to feel slutty." He responded with "Don't worry Lana. I'm going to fuck your brains out while hubby watches his princess be a little slut on my cock."
I scrolled up on the conversation a bit and saw that she had sent him some pictures and videos. "now take that top off, Lana...." followed with a video of her slowly moving one strap of her pink silk nightie off one shoulder, followed by the other as her top slid off her, revealing her breasts and stomach. He sent her back a video of him taking off his shirt, revealing an even more built torso than from the last time I saw him shirtless. It went on and on for a bit until he said he had to go, and her telling him how much she can't wait for this weekend.
I haven't told her about what I saw today yet, nor has she mentioned anything about it, and I think I like it this way. It feels more like a bit of a cheating angle to me, which she and Shawn both understand at this point that I like.
Mainly work and Christmas shopping for the next two days for Lana and myself. I also anticipate making a move on her tonight and being denied so that may be hot.
Hope everyone is well!
Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
Welcome back. I know how excited you both must be for the next several weeks to get underway. I know you anticipate and even enjoy the fact Lana is in love with Shawn and like to hear her say it to him as they make love. Has she ever told him that she needs him? Either between their lovemaking or during? Would that be hot for you to hear her say that?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
Thanks! I don't think I recall her ever saying that she needs him, but I suppose it would be hot, especially in the moment of their love making.Mlv4 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 7:10 amWelcome back.

Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
You say that they plan on meeting up this weekend but what are the odds that she will sneak off today or tomorrow to get herself fucked without your knowledge? Just like the time Shaun took your wife without you knowing.
Has he been sending you any chats as well?

Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
Silly question……of course it would be hot. Must say you are very cool and calm before the storm. I’d be climbing the walls knowing what’s about to happen. Next three-four weeks should be epic!
Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
It's a fair assumption given what's happened last year, however, Lana and I have a bad taste in our mouth over Adam, and the non-communication aspect of her playing around. So given that we haven't talked about it, I don't see right Lana sneaking out without my knowledge. Unless of course, we talk about beforehand.tojanman wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 8:09 amYou say that they plan on meeting up this weekend but what are the odds that she will sneak off today or tomorrow to get herself fucked without your knowledge?

Well I would liken it to how I was feeling the first time I went into the office and was listening in to the phone we had hidden in the bedroom before Shawn knew that I knew. My anxiety was through the roof but this forum really got me through it. I think it might be a different story come Friday night during our date night.
Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
Have you and Lana discussed any ways to “up the ante” this time? Some things to really maximize your cuck angst. I know that Adam was just a dick with a dick, but the dynamic you guys have with Shaun seems, overall, more respectful (at least respectful to Lana lol). So a little of the unexpected, in the moment, type activities might not be so terrible.w770 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 8:22 amIt's a fair assumption given what's happened last year, however, Lana and I have a bad taste in our mouth over Adam, and the non-communication aspect of her playing around.

Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
It’s going to be interesting to see how much Shawn shows her off to his friends. Especially since Lana and Shawn have already been texting about her being slutty for him. Given his feelings are more amorous, I wonder if he’ll be more protective over his friends seeing her slutty side. Or, will their stronger bond emboldened Shawn to slut Lana out to a greater degree.
Has Lana ever mentioned what would be over the line for her in regards to pleasing Shawn? I mean, if he told her to blow all of his buddies while they all watched her, would she do that for Shawn? Or other similar slutty acts? I’m not saying Shawn would try to get her to, just does Lana have a “too far” in regards to pleasing Shawn?

Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
It sounds like Shawn has matured a lot in the last year. He’s stepping into his role and it looks like all three of you are capable of upping the ante this time.
Some ideas (probably just my fantasies!):
- be more visible, more danger in public. Public dates all three of you, them affectionate. Plenty of public kissing.
- jewelry - a choker/collar for Lana to signify she has committed herself to him for the next three weeks. Even a ring?….
- plenty of overnight stays at yours. Same room, different rooms. Denying you.
- extreme fun for Lana with Shawn, and with others(eg: Eric, anyone else?) - that’s expected and we all want to hear every detail!
- you making them an anniversary dinner, you serving them as a couple, especially if others invited too, witnessing their passion. Plenty of Lana/Shawn kissing.
- you holding his cock and pushing it into Lana.
- you licking his cum from Lana’s breasts, at her direction, or sharing a cum kiss with her.
Plenty more! Mostly all the stuff outside the actual bedroom that causes the most angst in my head. Seeing them being a proper couple in all aspects.
All the very best wishes… you are the best, W.

I think it's fair to say I am not alone in that I can't wait for him to be inside her again either
Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
The choker idea is great. Basically, a way to Shawn to mark Lana as his slut for the next three weeks. Something visual so that W is reminded that Lana is Shawn’s slut every time W sees her. A different hairstyle or new nails would do the trick also.parmaham55 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 1:07 pmIt sounds like Shawn has matured a lot in the last year.

Did Lana notice the attention or looks she was getting? Or is it so normal for her that she doesn't notice? Did you or she mention it? And discuss about it?
With all the stress of getting back up to date with work have you forgotten about an "anniversary present" for Lana and Shawn? Do you feel that you still want to do something for that? Or maybe later, though?
But most importantly, how you feeling now about the next couple of weeks? Are you in a good place (it feels like you are in a good place) and ready for what comes next, but just a bit stressed with work? Or are you getting more and more anxious every day? I feel like it would be normal be a bit anxious..
Good courage with work and have a nice date night - the last one (you might be on) before Christmas... New years..

Re: It might actually happen after years of telling me no.
I guess I worry that you haven't talked about this with Lana. Those who have been around here long enough (this is my second go-around) remember situations just like yours where, in the end, the wife has left for the other man when they tried to pull the plug. I would stop assuming and have the hard discussions before it's too late.These are fair questions to ask. And I know I've spoken a lot of "heat of the moment" decisions, but I honestly feel like Lana and I have the same priorities for our family and marriage that no matter how far down into this we go, we both can make the tough decisions together, even if that means pulling the plug, and even if that means doing something that we don't want to do in the moment.
