Camper (MF Wife)
by Lyndon Brown (indysheets@hotmail.com)


***


This story grabbed me by the throat this morning, and made me write it, 
almost in one sitting. As always, comments and advice would be appreciated.

***

The camper was supposed to bring us closer. Our marriage counselor felt that 
after fifteen years together, we needed an activity that we could share. She 
said we needed to find places, free from stress and distraction, to be 
alone. She knows we have problems communicating, and wanted us to be 
isolated and practicing the exercises she gave us. She thought we needed to 
complete some sort of project together, something moderately difficult, that 
required both of us, working together, to accomplish.

We had camped before, when the kids were younger, before our careers took 
over our lives. We had outfitted a Chevy van with a center seat that folded 
into a bunk for the kids, with a pedestal platform behind holding a mattress 
for us. Both of us still held fond memories of driving in the dark, holding 
hands, exploring the possibilities of the future while searching for a 
campsite for the night, with our kids tucked in, asleep behind us.

So we settled on a camping vacation. Our project was a family calendar, 
something the counselor said had been productive for other couples. We would 
travel to take a series of pictures that would represent the landscape and 
landmarks of our lives. We would edit the pictures, identify the significant 
dates, birthdays, anniversaries and family triumphs, and publish the results 
as Christmas presents.

Preparations went quickly. I had months of unused vacation time accumulated. 
Joanna team-taught, so a month sabbatical was only a coordination problem 
for her. The grandparents were moved in, to see that the kids were fed, 
cleaned, and found their way onto the school bus.

I had purchased a pop-up camper that was small enough to tow with my Lexus. 
We made some weekend trips, and then I had some modifications made to 
fine-tune it for our needs. The camper started with the typical floor plan, 
with bunks at both ends, cabinets and a dining table that converted to a bed 
in the center. I had half of the center cushions removed, added lights, 
storage, and a sturdy work surface, creating a cozy eating and working area 
for two. I kept both end mattresses, but placed a hinged drafting table 
under one for map study and calendar layout.  I discarded the ice chest, and 
built in a small refrigerator and microwave. We added a roll-up canopy over 
the door. I had extra gas fittings, electrical outlets, and brackets for the 
range and a worktop installed, to allow cooking at the side in camp or at 
the rear when connected for towing.

I already had a laptop and digital camera for work, but I purchased a 
photo-quality printer. Our counselor helped us find and learn the calendar 
software. We were ready. We selected October for our departure. Autumn 
seemed to fit the nostalgic nature of our quest. We had a final session with 
the therapist, then ceremonially turned over our cell-phones, beepers, and 
the modem from my laptop to be placed in her safe. Alone, together, we left 
the city to try to recreate our relationship.

We laid out an ambitious course to visit and photograph our children's 
childhood homes: First Dallas, then to Saint Louis to Madison Wisconsin to 
Bloomington Indiana to Nashville, then home. The map was covered with 
color-coded pins indicating spots we had always been going to revisit, or 
which held significant memories. It was going to be difficult to cover 
everything, but that was part of the process. Working in harness together, 
at a tough but worthy task, was supposed to reforge our bonds.

There were conflicts, of course. I had awoken at 5:30 every morning for the 
last twenty years, to be at work at seven. Joanna's first class wasn't 
usually before ten; her evening classes weren't over before nine. I was 
asleep by ten, while she graded papers till midnight. Old habits prevailed. 
She left the covers to read for a few hours each night. I took two-hour 
hikes before awakening her in the morning.

Sex was a new delight. At first. Each night she would join me when I bunked 
down, then ride me to exhaustion, holding me until I fell asleep afterwards. 
Mornings, after my hikes, I would slip back into warm sheets and gently wake 
her into long slow lovemaking. Mid-day brought nostalgic couplings, 
recreating moments from our youth: A pond in Texas where we had learned to 
make love in the water, unnoticed by the kids or the other swimmers, oral 
sex in a fire tower, anal sex in a hot tub at a resort inn in Illinois. I 
could barely keep up! I was inspired by her boundless hunger. I thought it 
was for me.

Our destination cities were college towns. We revisited places we had been 
when she was a struggling grad student or untenured instructor. The waiters 
and attraction staff were generally part-time college guys, like her 
students at home. I began to notice how she interacted with them.

She enjoyed looking at them, flirting with them. When they stole glances 
down at her breasts, her nipples hardened. When a handsome youth was our 
server, she found reasons to leave the table, to press against him while 
whispering in his ear, seeking directions to the phone, or the washroom, or 
asking for assistance with a map. Often when she returned she would stand at 
my shoulder and slip her panties into my pocket, or crack open her bag to 
reveal her bra within. Waiters would conceal themselves from me with a menu 
or a tray, then, perhaps inadvertently, press their crotch against her elbow 
or shoulder as they refilled her tea, or removed a plate. Her cleavage was 
on display when they leaned over the maps, pointing out local landmarks, or 
gossiping about other teachers.

Two weeks ago Tuesday, we found a student at his serving station, cramming 
from the textbook she co-authored. While he worked our table, they shared 
conversation, flirting like co-eds. Her bra was in her bag, her blouse 
undone an extra button. She told him that if he gave her good service, she 
would autograph his text book. He asked if she could come back to the office, to 
explain a couple of paragraphs he couldn't quite grasp. She glanced to me 
before agreeing. I didn't object. When she returned, her lipstick was gone 
and there was a split in her lip. I pretended not to notice. I forced my 
mind not to speculate.

Our journey came to a fork at a campsite in Missouri last week. I can pull 
the trailer anywhere, through anything, but I can't back up worth a damn. 
Joanna can't give direction. So our routine is for me to get out, move 
behind the trailer, and direct her as she backs into the site. This time she 
ignored me, as I waved my arms and banged on the trailer trying to get her 
to move back. She was in a trance, staring off onto the next site.

The object of her attention was a well-built kid in a park ranger uniform, 
coaching an equally well-built blonde in a bikini as she laid kindling in 
the fire-pit. From a distance, now, it's almost amusing. Joanna was 
absolutely entranced by him, he as much so with the young woman's cleavage, 
while all were oblivious to the others' attention. I was just mad enough to 
ask Joanna if she was going to go "Gaga" over every hunky young male she saw 
on the trip. "Would you rather be here with me, or across the street with 
him?" I demanded, forever altering our life together.

"Young men... " she said, "... my relationships with kids, particularly my 
students, mean a lot to me. So does ours. Don't make me choose between 
them."

Our relationship changed then. I saw the same things, but now they were 
unfamiliar, in a different light, like the change produced by slipping a 
polarizing filter on a camera. I timed her trips to the phone or restroom, 
and tried to keep track of the staff. What I had seen as flirtation, now 
seemed seduction. That casual touch could now be a caress. Her erect nipples 
might not be the result of the air conditioning. Her lean across the table 
to return a menu now might be an opportunity for her to reveal her breasts. 
The inadvertent contact with a server now perhaps was an occasion to confirm 
the fullness of her breasts, or to evaluate the length and hardness of an 
erection. And there were erections. She made an impression on quite a few, 
and I found myself contrasting their eager young hardness with my 
middle-aged spread.

My sexual performance suffered. On a scenic overlook on a trail above the 
Illinois River, she knelt on a rustic bench, flipping up her skirt to reveal 
her naked rump, just as she had fifteen years earlier. This time, I couldn't 
produce an erection. I found myself thinking about her with others, and was 
unable to perform, to compete.

During foreplay, I would inevitably compare my cock with the younger larger 
more-ready ones of her admirers, and my erection would disappear. I would 
imagine her, on her knees before a young stud with a massive cock. He would 
be thrusting between her breasts, or full-length into her welcoming mouth 
and throat, long enough to erase her lipstick, hard enough to bruise her 
breasts, or split her lip. I would lose myself in the images of others 
fulfilling her desires, and ejaculate before satisfying her. I mourned my 
lost days of rampant virility and boundless energy.  The images of her with 
younger men both aroused and unmanned me.

We stopped early one night at a state park in Wisconsin. We've gotten pretty 
efficient at setting up camp, good enough to look down upon our noses at 
those who have to struggle to level their rig, to pop up their trailer or to 
erect their tent. They guy in the next site was easily ten years younger 
than we were, and in the latter category.

He was camping out of the trunk of an older BMW coupe. Gear was strewn about 
in cardboard boxes, and he seemed to be missing pieces of the tent. The tent 
was one of those intended to fasten onto a Suburban, or a pickup with a 
shell, to add on an extra room. He was struggling to hold everything 
together and losing the battle. We watched for a while, amused, before 
Joanna took pity on him, and left to offer her help.

I stayed behind to review the day's crop of pictures. Something was messed 
up, big time. Every image had an awful orange tint. I worked for quite some 
time, before lucking into a way to salvage them. When I finally raised my 
head and looked around, it was nearly dark. The tent was up, they had given 
up on trying to fit it to the BMW. They were messing around with an air 
mattress on the picnic table.

The guy had worked up a sweat, and had stripped down to a pair of gym 
shorts. He was built like a weightlifter, and I noticed Joanna's approving 
glances when his attention was elsewhere. She took every opportunity to 
touch him, to place her hand on him to make a point in conversation or to 
steady herself when she shifted position. They were laughing and talking 
like old friends. When I saw her stroke his chest, moving her hands from the 
center of his muscular chest out to grasp his biceps, I stirred myself to 
intervene.

They had their heads together, tying to figure out the instructions for 
attaching mantles to a Coleman lamp. She had her arm around his waist, his 
hand was on her butt. I walked up and introduced myself.  He tried to move 
away from her, but she maintained her grasp on him. Her expression was 
almost defiant.

I removed the mess they had made in the lantern, tied on new mantles, burned 
them to ash, and then repositioned the globe. The lamp lit with the first 
match, as the light spread, they stepped apart. I looked at my watch. 
"Shit," I said, "We're nearly late for dinner. We really need to hustle."

Dinner was a small success, visiting with friends I'd worked with on my 
first job out of school. Joanna was nearly silent all evening, but after 
drinks started to entertain us with stories about her new friend's 
misadventures. I learned that the guy's name was Don. He was a high school 
teacher, on sabbatical, trying to research his thesis and vacation on a 
shoestring. The tent and equipment were all borrowed, and he was completely 
lost in the woods.

When I returned from my hike in the morning, I visited the bathhouse, then 
stopped to check out the items on the bulletin board. I glanced up and saw 
my wife in her bathrobe, leaving our camper and heading toward me. Our 
neighbor called to her, detouring her onto his site. I realized that in my 
position, behind the bulletin board, in the shadows of the roof overhang, I 
was invisible to them.

I watched them, silently. Mr. BMW wore sweatpants and a T-shirt in the 
morning drizzle. Don was trying to cook over a smoky mass of damp firewood 
in the firepit, using one of those worthless aluminum pans they sell to 
gullible Boy Scouts. His eggs and bacon ended up on the ground when the 
flimsy handle collapsed. He gave up, and led my wife toward the tent, 
discussing gear and equipment.

She showed him our rig in turn. I watched him stand behind her, as she bent 
over to demonstrate how the leveling jacks at the rear of the trailer 
operated. I watched him grin as the hem of her short robe rose to reveal the 
lower curves of the cheeks of her ass.  When she leaned forward to show him 
where the crank fit to raise the top, even I got a long glimpse of her full 
breasts. Her nipples were like marbles. His cock was stuffed down the leg of 
his sweatpants, outlined by the damp fabric, twice as thick, and half again 
as long as mine, inches from her nose.

I heard him ask something about the weight of the trailer, then they moved 
to the opposite side, where the data plate is mounted. I shifted position, 
to where I could continue to watch.

She knelt, and rubbed on the embossed plate, reading the numbers aloud. He 
leaned over her, possibly to read also, but more likely, to enjoy the view 
down her robe as it sagged open. When she straightened, the back of her head 
pressed against his cock. She didn't speak, but moved her head a bit, up and 
down, then side to side. He asked something, probably about the BMW, because 
Joanna moved over to it.

She sat on the outside edge of the drivers seat, and leaned down, her head 
twisted to the rear to read his data plate on the doorframe. His cock had 
risen against the confining cloth, to about a forty-five degree angle. He 
stepped forward and rubbed it against the back of her neck, inserting 
himself under the collar of her robe.

Other campers were approaching, so I again had to move. I slipped quietly 
into our camper. I sat on the edge of the nearer bunk. I could hear parts of 
their conversation, something about an air mattress and roots poking in the 
wrong places. I thought she saw me, but they approached our rig. They were 
talking about how the interior was arranged.

The door opened. Joanna stepped into the dark interior first. The young man 
paused to adjust his hardon, before climbing the steps. Joanna acted 
surprised to see me, but her friend was absolutely shocked. He stammered 
something, and turned to leave. I told him to stay and look around. My 
reaction astonished us all.

Joanna stepped all the way in, turning between my legs to face her guest. 
She pointed out our modifications to the interior, while her free hand 
reached between us, concealed behind her back, to grasp the head of my erect 
cock, and tuck it back into my shorts. She turned her head to grin and wink 
over her shoulder.

He left soon after. We had an appointment with the folks who bought our 
house in Madison, for lunch and the opportunity to take some interior 
photographs, so we had to hustle. We knocked down the rig, and packed with 
our usual efficiency. Mr. BMW returned, to talk to my wife. He tried to draw 
her away for some private conversation, but Joanna didn't make him any time.

We were on the road in minutes, silent for the first two hours. I was the 
first to speak. "What was that all about?" I asked.

"This is his first time camping, and he was curious about our rig."

"I was talking about the salami tucked into his waistband," I joked.

"I don't know about that," she said, "but I do remember finding a tent peg 
in your shorts!"

"This is going to be hard for me to say. We've been avoiding this 
conversation for months, but it's time I just spit it out. I think our 
problem has been that we've changed sexually, physically, but our 
relationship hasn't evolved to suit. I've heard that every guy thinks he is 
twenty-five until he's fifty, then overnight he's an old man."

"What does that mean," she asked.

"It means I'm not a kid any more. It means I can't get an erection at the 
drop of a hat, or go four times a night any longer. It means that I realize 
I've been on a downhill slide for the last fifteen years, while you're just 
now reaching your peak. We used to joke about you needing an assistant, now 
it's time for you to find a helper for me."

"I have only ever been with you, Bob. I love you. I don't want anyone else."

"I've loved you now for half my lifetime. I only want to see you happy, and 
satisfied. I want you to experience someone who can keep up with you, who 
can wear you out for a change."

"Do you mean that? Could you really step back and let that happen?

"If it was something you needed. If the circumstances were right. Hell, if 
we had spent another night at that last campground, I might have volunteered 
to sleep on the air mattress."

"Do you actually mean that? Could I really have had the camper and a night 
with Don?" she asked, with more enthusiasm in her voice than I would have 
wanted.

"I think so. It's not like he was going to use something up, or wear it out. 
But, then, only if it wouldn't take anything away from us."

"It wouldn't. I love you. But are you sure," she whispered, "think before 
you commit yourself. Be very sure."

It was a few minutes before I could answer. "Yes. If the right circumstance 
arose again, yes."

She chuckled. "You might have spoken too soon. Don is an IU graduate also. 
He has homecoming tickets just like us. We'll be in the same campground 
Friday night."


So this is how I found myself in another man's tent, listening to the rain 
striking the canvas. I was sitting in someone else's sleeping bag, typing on 
the laptop on my knees, pouring my thoughts out onto the screen. Putting 
them out where I could see them, examine them, and determine exactly how I 
felt.

Joanna has an oil lamp that she lights when we make love. I know now that 
she lights it when she has sex, too. I was never outside the camper before 
when it was burning, I was surprised by how sharp and graphic the shadows 
were. I stood in the rain and watched. They had the radio on, softly, but I 
could still hear the occasional word.

They started standing in the center. They kissed, long and passionately. He 
removed his shirt first. She seemed fascinated with his chest, stroking his 
rippling muscles. She dropped to her knees to lower his shorts. "Oh Don," 
she said, It's so big. It's just as long as ever.

"As ever?" What the Hell had I heard?  What was going on?

He put his hands in her hair, and guided his massive cock into her mouth.

I know too well just how good she is, her tricks, how she tilts her head up 
to accept my cock into her throat, how her eyes watch my reactions in my 
face, extending ecstasy into long sweet torture. Even after all these years 
I can't last too long in her sucking mouth, looking down into those 
beautiful eyes, watching my shaft move between her lips, watching her cheeks 
hollow as she sucks the explosion of sperm from deep within me.

He lasted longer than I believed possible. She was whining around his 
massive cock, frantic with need long before he came. Her nipples were etched 
in impossibly sharp silhouette against the canvas, full and ripe, swollen 
nearly to the point of bursting. Her hands worked frantically between her 
thighs, her climax came with his last thrust and spurt within her throat. He 
withdrew, and ejaculated upon her face, shadow gobs of cum painting a shadow 
face.

His moans as he climaxed brought attention. Flashlight beams found me. I had 
to walk away.

When I returned, he was taking her doggy-style on the couch. It's the only 
place in the camper with sufficient headroom for the position. Joanna loves 
it when I do her this way, as it allows me efficient access to her clit and 
nipples, allowing me to drive her to orgasm, over and over. Dan didn't need 
any crutches. His hands were firmly placed on her hips, holding her as he 
pounded into her mercilessly. His over-sized cock dragged her clit inward 
with every stroke. Her moans and screams of orgasmic ecstasy were nearly 
drowned out by the meaty slaps of his pelvis against her ass cheeks. They 
paused. Her cries rose in pitch when his cock began to press against the 
rosebud of her anus.

Headlights swept over me where I stood. I had to move again, and stay away 
until the new arrival finished setting up.

When I returned, he was lying on his back on an end bunk, the shadow of his 
massive erection distorted on the canvas. She straddled him, grasping that 
massive prong and guiding it into her tiny cunt. It seemed impossible for 
her to take it all, but she worked at it until she sat, fully down onto his 
hipbones. She rode him as she often rode me, leaning forward, dragging her 
hips back to maximize the pull on her clit, as she bucked up and down.

It seemed like it went on forever. When she collapsed upon him, either in 
exhaustion, or orgasm, he took over. He held her under the asscheeks, 
lifting her high, then lowering her. He stroked himself with her body, 
impaling her on that massive prong until she recovered enough to resume her 
movements toward orgasm. The cycle repeated itself twice as I watched.

The ranger came through then, using his spotlight to read the registration 
tickets clipped on the posts. The light found me, and held me until I 
returned to the tent.

I awoke near dawn, cold and alone. I returned to the camper. The light was 
out, but the main bunk was creaking softly on its supports. I imagined them 
lying together, spoon fashion, as he gently reamed her from behind. In the 
darkness I crept all the way up under the camper to listen.

"This is fantastic," he said, "How did you ever arrange this? Does he know?"

"That fool? He actually thinks this was his idea!"

"Is he as good in bed as me, baby? Is he a good father for my kids?"

"You arrogant prick," she laughed, "You know you're the best I've ever had. 
My best student yet. Everyone else is only in the race for second place!"

Conformation. Desolation. She had set me up, lied to me, betrayed me on the 
most basic and deepest possible levels.  His kids! Second place!

I have competed all my life, in business, sports, racing. I'd always thought 
that if I did my best, gave all I had, realized my potential, I was a 
winner, regardless of where I placed. I could never understand the guys who 
said, "Second place is first loser."

I do now, God do I!
