But on another front, Mistress got to talk in person to a woman about her own age that has been involved in local politics for a while, and that slave had lunch with a few weeks back. Our lunch involved comparing notes on some local political machinations, as well as the ongoing Hillary v. Bernie wars that have been raging on social media.
When we got home, Mistress gave me that raised eyebrow look.
"I think she has an eye on you, slave...."
Mistress does have a proclivity to suspect that some of slave's female acquaintances have ulterior motivations. I tend to scoff.
"I doubt it Mistress. What sensible woman would be interested in this mouldering specimen?"
"Don't be so sure, slave..... you're still quite handsome. and very clever. women like that...."
Slave snorted. Maybe a decade or so ago I picked up some vibes from women every now and then. But not in some time. It's what happens when you're over the hill.
Then Mistress took things in an unexpected direction.
"You know slave, if you even have an inclination to get involved with another woman, you just need to ask permission...."
Duh.
Now how does a husband under contract to his wife go there?
Is this a trick question? It seemed that way, and slave wasn't biting.
"Well I don't anticipate that happening, Mistress. In my years of experience the one thing I have learned is that getting involved with another woman is much more trouble than it's worth... with you as the one notable exception."
"I'm serious slave. If I have permission, maybe you should too. But you need to let me know."
"Rest assured Mistress, I'm not interested in getting involved with another woman. I have enough trouble making sure I've pleased you sufficiently...why would I take on someone else. Way more trouble than it's worth."
Of course there I was risking offending Mistress. I wasn't suggesting she was "too much trouble", just that finding the time and energy to amuse and satisfy another woman at my age would be too big a hill to climb.
But I did throw her a change-up.
"But I think a threesome would be entertaining."
"Really, slave.... a threesome?"
"What red blooded American guy hasn't fantasized about taking on two women at a time... or seeing them please one another?
I think I piqued her curiosity.
"Hmmmm...... how would that happen.....?"
Good question.
