Rules Ch. 05 - New Horizons

Jeremy sat on the tub's edge facing away from her. The evening had been shocking for both of them, a whirlwind of emotion had been kicked up, and it now rested quietly between them. With how quiet Jeremy had been since they got home, Sage knew she would need to be the first to speak.

"So, did you like it?" Sage asked.

Jeremy was silent.

"Jeremy?" Sage asked. He stared blankly at their bathroom wall, not moving a muscle.

"Did you guys really plan all that?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah, of course," Sage replied. It wasn't true, but she would rather have Jeremy believe she was in control of the situation. She knew it would have been better to tell the truth, but she didn't want to. Whether it was shame, fear, or guilty pleasure, Sage stuck to her white lie. She might not have come up with the idea, but David was right, she wanted it to happen. Sage convinced herself it was her idea, and that David had just done what she expected him to do. It was what she wanted. Now, Sage was determined to make sure Jeremy wanted this too.

"Why not ask me first?" Jeremy said.

"Hmm?" Sage replied. It was instinctual, she really didn't know how to answer such a valid question. The truth was the most obvious answer: Sage didn't know it was going to happen. If she had made a conscious decision to fuck David in front of Jeremy, she absolutely would have asked him first. Sage hadn't given David enough credit, and he had outplayed her in more ways than one. His risky decision had caught her in a lie while also getting her addicted to their new arrangement.

"Sage, why didn't you talk to me about it first?" Jeremy said, finally turning to look at Sage as he did so. It was silent for a moment, Sage knew the silence was dangerous. She couldn't seem uncertain, it could undo this opportunity as well as her marriage. She had to be confident and collected.

She needed to be strong for Jeremy, for their relationship.

"I thought you'd like the surprise," Sage replied coyly.

"I don't know Sage... I think for any big steps like that we really should talk first."

"So, you didn't like it?" Sage asked. She sounded nervous, and Jeremy picked up on it.

"No, no it's not... I mean obviously, I did. It was amazing to watch, and I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't fantasized about you two fucking more than once. I just... honestly, it also didn't feel great," Jeremy admitted. Sage nodded slowly as she splashed water onto her shoulders.

"So, do you want us to stop?" Sage asked. Jeremy sighed and shook his head.

"I don't know? Probably not no, but I don't want anything like that happening again," Jeremy said. Sage's heart sank. Deep down, she had hoped he would've liked it, she really hoped he would have given his blessing for things to continue.

"Alright, I can understand that," Sage replied softly.

"What's wrong?" Jeremy asked.

"Nothing's wrong, you're completely right, you should feel good when we do this kind of stuff," Sage said. Jeremy turned his body toward her, he had a pained look Sage knew all too well. She knew he didn't like her answer.

"You don't feel the same way?" Jeremy asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Sage, come on... are you saying you didn't feel like something was off about tonight?" Jeremy said. He was beginning to sound impatient, it had been a while since Sage had seen him like this. It made her cautious, it also turned her on.

"I mean, I thought we were all enjoying it, you know?" Sage answered. There was seduction in her voice, only a hint. Just enough to let Jeremy know she enjoyed what happened. Jeremy nodded slowly.

"So you didn't feel like something was off?"

"Jeremy, think about it from my perspective. You were staring me right in the eyes when I begged you to stop me, but you kept jerking off as I rode his cock. You came to another man fucking your wife," Sage said. She knew what she was doing, she knew she could probably get Jeremy to see it as his fault if she pushed enough. It wasn't conscious, it was a behavior learned over years in their relationship, and something she realized she enjoyed doing.

It worked, Jeremy was already looking down, blushing as he recalled the evening.

"I know... I didn't really speak up about how I was feeling. It was all happening so fast," Jeremy said, his fists clenched against his legs.

"I'm not saying that we shouldn't have talked about it first, but that night... it really seemed like you enjoyed it so... I enjoyed myself too," Sage said.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense," Jeremy said. He rubbed his fingers through his hair, it was clear his mind was still racing through his emotions. Sage felt sorry for him, she also enjoyed his discomfort. Jeremy cleared his throat, "So, you enjoyed it?"

"Yes, I did," Sage replied, lifting her leg out of the water.

"How... how many times did you actually cum?" Jeremy asked.

"At least four, Jeremy," Sage replied. She could see her words were cutting into him, she could see he had a mix of anguish and excitement on his face. She knew they should probably take a break and talk things through, but she didn't want to. She wanted him to keep asking, she wanted him to work through this and accept that it would happen again.

"Have... have you ever cum that much with me?" Jeremy asked.

"No," Sage said shortly, Jeremy's face contorted into sadness.

"Oh..." Jeremy said. Genuine pain rang in his voice, Sage knew she had gone too far, and she immediately back peddled.

"But you make me cum in such a special and different way," Sage said assuringly. She leaned forward, and gently placed her hand on Jeremy's shoulder, "You know that David could never replace you, right? You know I need you."

"Is that true?" Jeremy asked.

"Absolutely," Sage said, and this was easy to say. Jeremy truly was her love in life, and she had no intention of leaving him. Despite her newfound enjoyment of toying with him, Sage needed Jeremy now more than ever, and she honestly seemed to be reaching him.

"Even after fucking David?"

"Oh god, Jeremy. He's a good fuck, but I could never be with that man in an actual relationship. Could you imagine? He's exactly what we wanted, he's our bull and nothing more."

"He said he wanted to make you do other things..." Jeremy said. His voice quivered, he sounded like a scared boy seeking comfort. She both loved and hated that, it made her want to push him further.

"He did say that, didn't he? How do you feel knowing that David wants to do more to me? That he wasn't satisfied with just one night?" Sage asked. She was resting her naked body on Jeremy's back, water absorbed into his dress shirt, her hands slid on his chest, and she spotted the bulge growing in his pants.

"I don't know, I mean it did sound exciting when he said it. But Sage, I need you to promise me that whatever we do moving forward, no more surprises, alright?" Jeremy said. Sage's hands stopped moving on his chest. He couldn't see her expression, which was good, because it was one of disappointment.

"Of course, no more surprises," Sage said. Though deep down, she knew that was a lie. Or at the very least, a temporary truth, she would warm Jeremy up to it. He would love it in the end.

"We can make new rules, we'll have an agreement, and then maybe you can talk it over with David? Make sure he's on board?" Jeremy asked. His request surprised Sage, she thought for sure he would insist on them talking to David together, but she would capitalize on his passive decision.

"Of course, sweetheart, but you know that would mean no surprise photos and videos..."

"Well, no that's not what I meant. We can talk through the details, we can figure out what is ok and what would require a talk first," Jeremy said.

"And then I'll talk to David?" Sage asked.

"Yeah, I mean... if you don't mind. Honestly, right now I'd rather not get to know him. I don't know if that makes sense."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it," Sage said, giving her husband a kiss on the cheek.

Jeremy tapped his finger on his desk as accountants and business managers poured over his team's formal merger document. It was sometimes an intense matter, but this time things had gone surprisingly well. While Jeremy hated to admit it, part of this merger's success had to be credited to his unlikely partner, Theo. Jeremy knew Theo through Sage, and had heard he was phenomenal at closing tough deals. It just so happened that part of Jeremy's merger deal promised a major marketing overhaul with significant returns on investment. It was, in Jeremy's opinion, a meaningless smokescreen to get pen to paper. But if it meant getting dealers to the table, he had to make it work. The only catch was his team didn't specialize in marketing strategies. That's where Theo came in.

Sage had reached out to Theo for help and, like a knight in shining armor, he agreed to assist Jeremy with the details, for a hefty fee of course. A fee that ate directly into Jeremy's commission. Still, the cost had been worth it, especially as Jeremy watched the final documents signed and handed over to his team without dispute.

Handshaking and back patting followed, it was all par for the course. Typically at this point, Jeremy would have been ecstatic. But currently, his mind was on Sage, and the woman she was turning into. Deep down, he knew the idea of Sage being with another man turned him on, and he thought that once he finally saw it, he'd be fulfilled. But, in some ways, it felt like the opposite had happened. Jeremy loved it, but not because it made him feel whole. He loved it because it left him feeling somewhat empty. Images of that night flashed in his mind while he made small talk among businessmen. The dull slapping of Sage's ass pounding against David, the moans she made while he plowed her into his couch, David's grunting as he came in Sage's mouth; all of it played in Jeremy's mind on repeat.

Jesus, he had watched someone cum in his wife's mouth.

"Hey big shot, congrats on the close," Theo said, nudging Jeremy's arm.

"Huh? Oh, hey Theo," Jeremy replied dully offering his hand.

"A handshake? What the fuck is this? You're gonna treat me like all of them?" Theo said jokingly, taking Jeremy's hand with a mockingly limp wrist. It annoyed Jeremy, but then again, everything about Theo annoyed Jeremy. His lack of focus, his nonchalant attitude, his rich upbringing, the list was endless. But, Theo had helped Jeremy out of a bind, and the lanky hotshot deserved credit where credit was due.

"Thanks for getting me out of that nightmare, Theo," Jeremy said.

"Yeah, don't mention it man, who would have thought that a merger would hinge on a fucking basic marketing deal. Our firm is going to be over the moon... you're making Sage look like a rockstar with this one. Well, I guess we both are, she's going to owe me for this," Theo replied. Jeremy didn't appreciate the comment. Another flash of David fucking Sage flooded into his mind, but for the briefest of moments, Jeremy saw Theo plowing into Sage instead. He immediately repressed the idea.

"Yeah..." He said dryly. The boardroom was clearing out, and one of Jeremy's team members walked up to him.

"Sir, do we need to do any final calls or are we good to head out?" He asked.

"We're good, you guys did a good job today, be sure to get some sleep, yeah? Don't party too hard," Jeremy said, his team member laughed.

"You have no fucking clue, you coming out for drinks?"

"You always know my answer to that one," Jeremy replied.

"I always got to ask though. I won't pull you from your boring life, have a good night Jeremy." With that, most of Jeremy's team left. Another merger complete, they had assured the wheels of corporate society would keep turning for another day.

"It's kinda cool to see you in your element, Sage always did say you're pretty cutthroat with this stuff," Theo said, walking over to the window that overlooked the sprawling green suburbs.

"You have to be," Jeremy said, "A lot of this shit is big money moving from one giant pocket to the next. Some people won't try to fuck you over, but most will. This your first time working on a merger like this?"

Theo glanced over to him and shook his head, "Oh no, I've had my fair share of crazy shit. I get thrown at anything the company doesn't want to deal with, and I've made a name for making that kind of shit magically work out."

"Good for you," Jeremy said. It was admirable, and Jeremy meant what he said, but he didn't want to spend any more time with Theo than he had to. The salesman had done his sale, there wasn't a need for Theo anymore. He would be happy to move on from their temporary partnership.

"Thanks," Theo said with a smile, "honestly, with the way Sage talked about you, I really thought you were going to tear my head off if I didn't get this done right."

"Did she now?" Jeremy replied. He couldn't help but find it strange how much Theo was mentioning Sage. Sure, they worked at the same company, but they were in entirely different departments.

"Sage had mentioned something about you originally being in marketing, you specialized in the logistics side, right?" Theo asked.

"Once upon a time, yeah. You two work together a lot?" Jeremy asked, his agitation becoming harder to mask. Theo smirked at the response, which in turn made Jeremy's blood boil.

"Well not directly, but we cross paths a lot," Theo said calmly, staring out the windows with a relaxed posture.

"Talk a lot too?"

"Oh, we talk all the time, we've become really close actually," Theo replied. Jeremy knew Theo was fucking with him at this point, he knew it would've been best to just let things lie. But images kept flashing in his head, images of that night.

His memories blurred with fantasy. Jeremy heard Sage's moans turn into screams of pleasure as she orgasmed right in front of him. Theo was fucking her, Theo was making her cum in ways that Jeremy never could. It was one thing to have David be a bull, but the idea that someone like Theo also be fucking Sage overwhelmed Jeremy with a newfound wave of anger and insecurity.

"Really close huh? So what, you guys go on fucking picnics together or something?" Jeremy asked, turning to Theo. His body tensed as he clenched his fists. Theo glanced over, looked Jeremy up and down, then laughed.

"Oh man, honestly, a picnic sounds amazing. Maybe we'll pick that up over regular lunches in the cafeteria. I bet she'd love the change in scenery," Theo glanced over to see if the jab had landed and was pleased when he saw Jeremy's jaw clenching. Then, as if he enjoyed stoking the fire further, he continued, "She really is something."

"Yeah, she really is. Probably the best thing that's ever happened to me," Jeremy replied. He tried breathing deeply, tried working through the countless fantasies which raced through his mind, but he couldn't help but wonder if Sage had already done something with Theo, that this entire partnership and Theo's teasing was another one of her surprises.

Jeremy saw Sage's glistening skin, he saw her tits covered in cum and spit, her quivering legs as a massive cock plowed into her. Jeremy wondered how many times Theo had already fucked Sage, he wondered if Sage would ask him to watch as Theo fucked her in her office. A million fantasies poured through his mind while Theo turned and patted him on the shoulder gently.

"You're a super fucking lucky dude. Don't let that shit go to waste man... what I wouldn't give to have a wife like that," Theo said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on letting her go anytime soon," Jeremy said shortly. Theo walked past him and began to gather his papers into his bag.

"I'll be sure to let her know that next time I see her," Theo said as he slung his bag onto his shoulder, "I'm sure it'll melt her heart."

"I'll be sure to tell her you did a halfway decent job," Jeremy replied.

"Please do, it'll get me on her good side. That... combined with the picnic... well, you might have to start worrying about me," Theo said as he started walking toward the door.

Theo's comment hit Jeremy's mind at exactly the wrong time, and it made something snap. Images raced through Jeremy's mind. He saw Sage kneeling beneath her desk while Theo sat in her office chair. His cock sunk deep into her throat he drained his pulsing balls. He saw Theo fuck her on her desk, against her office windows, and on the office floor. He could hear Sage moan as she had with David, and it turned him on. The rage, the adrenaline, and the arousal all mixed together into a feeling Jeremy both loved and hated.

"What the fuck man?" Jeremy said, taking several aggressive strides toward Theo, who immediately took a step back once he saw Jeremy's attitude shift.

"Woah! Chill man chill I was messing with you," Theo said.

"Are you fucking my wife mother fucker?!" Jeremy shouted, loud enough to turn some heads from the workplace outside the boardroom.

"Jesus no! I was fucking joking man." Theo's casual tone had evaporated, he seemed genuinely worried. Jeremy liked that, and he took the opportunity to build an illusion of control.

"Listen you little piece of shit, I did you a fucking favor bringing you onto this deal," Jeremy said as he took a few more steps toward Theo, fists clenched. Theo raised his hands with wide eyes.

"Dude I know, chill!"

"This is how you want to thank me? You want to make jokes about fucking my wife?!"

"Bro, what the fuck is wrong with you?! Who said anything about fucking your wife? What the fuck is wrong with you!" Theo was now shouting as loud as Jeremy, there was nothing subtle about the exchange that they were having. Jeremy got in Theo's face, and Theo promptly backed against the boardroom's hallway windows.

"I could fucking bury you, I could make your life a living hell, you fucking son of a--"

"Jeremy?" A soft voice said from the hallway, both Theo and Jeremy looked over to a very nervous female intern who had peeked her head into the boardroom, "Is... everything alright?"

Jeremy glanced through the boardroom windows, quickly realizing how many eyes were watching from the office space.

"Yeah," He said, "Yeah, everything is fine we were just... talking shop, weren't we?" Jeremy said while staring at Theo with a thousand daggers.

"Yeah... Just talking shop..." Theo replied. Jeremy stepped away from him, and Theo glared at Jeremy with an equal amount of disdain. Without another word, he walked out of the room, leaving Jeremy with the intern in silence.

"C-can I get you anything?" The intern asked.

"No, I'm good I... I think I just need to take some time and head home, it's been a stressful couple of days," Jeremy replied. The intern nodded awkwardly and left. With shaking hands, Jeremy quickly began to gather his things. He was in shambles when he walked out of the boardroom, doing his best not to make eye contact with anyone as he rushed toward the elevators.

The entire car ride home, all Jeremy could hear were Sage's moans and the dull slapping of balls against her thighs. He began to stroke his cock as he neared his home, abruptly cumming as the thought of Theo pumping his load into Sage flooded his mind.
