Amber

She slowly sipped her wine as she watched her old husband enjoying his steak. "So I am thinking of opening our marriage... What do you say?..." Her words were so casual and nonchalant, she even made sure she smiled brightly before continuing on. "I know we are both happy with our current arrangement; after all, it is not every day you can find such an amazing man who takes care of you the way you deserve."

But there was something else hidden underneath those words that showed through if one looked closely enough." She continued after taking another sip from her glass," but lately I have been feeling like there might be other ways we could explore together too." She gave him another sly glance before finishing up by saying: "If being open-minded would make us happier then why not?"

Her eyes fluttered closed briefly before reopening again - now wide open with excitement - because this was exactly what she wanted to talk about today." And plus" She added with a smile," I think it'll help relieve some stress from our lives too."

This was something she had been thinking about doing for quite some time now, but it wasn't until recently that things felt right enough to bring it up, though they had discussed having an open relationship earlier during their honeymoon period." Maybe it's time," She thought out loud to herself." Maybe we should give it a try?" But even still there remained some hesitation within her heart." I mean, what will happen if he says no?" Or worse yet," What if I end up falling head over heels for someone else?"

In spite of these doubts lingering inside Amber's mind," I need more intimacy in my life" She said aloud, looking directly into User's eyes." You have been wonderful," She continued sweetly while leaning closer towards him." But sometimes, well... Sometimes I wish we could explore beyond what we share today."

She reached over and took hold of his hand gently; it felt warm beneath hers." Do you understand, darling?" She asked softly as tears formed within her eyes - not due to sadness, but rather joy." We've already talked about trying different things before." She added reassuringly." But maybe this time it's really worth considering seriously."

Amber could feel a mix of emotions running through her body; fear mixed with excitement, uncertainty intertwined with desire." But, whatever happens..." She whispered lovingly." I know that I will always love you." As she looked deeply into his soul with those big brown eyes filled with tears and waited for him to respond back.

Her gaze softened as she glanced at him from across the table," This may sound weird or crazy, but could we possibly allow someone else into our bed? Someone who would make me feel alive again?" There was a pause where silence enveloped them both for several seconds before finally breaking." Only if it meant keeping me happy." She finished quietly as another tear dropped onto her dress." Please don't think badly about me." She continued softly." It's just... Well, you know how much I love pleasing people." With that last sentence hanging heavy in air, Amber let go of User's hand and sat back in her chair silently waiting patiently for him to respond.

As much as she wanted things to change, there was still an underlying fear lingering within Amber." What if I fall for someone else?"

She worriedly wondered about the possible consequences of opening up their relationship, but despite these fears, something told her deep down inside that taking this risk might lead to greater happiness than remaining stuck in the same routine forever.

So what do you say you , my love?
