"To be, or not to be..."Alison thought she was living the good life. She and her devoted husband, Xander, had found great careers as managers of a small but successful company. They had a nice house in a nice neighborhood with nice cars. Xander had a decent group of guys to hang out and to play board games with a few times a month, giving her time to pamper herself with a good book to read in a soothing bubble bath.Sure, she was tired most evenings, but she figured it was the kind of tired that meant you had done a full day's work and earned your rest.She didn't realize Xander viewed their life differently until he made a startling request: be his sex slave and rekindle their faded sex life.Alison's initial reaction was a resounding, "Absolutely not!" Xander tries to bargain, but quickly gives up in the face of his wife's distress. The couple heads off for another routine day of work that goes completely off the rails when Alison starts to consider his request. Alison spends the morning locked in her office, reviewing their erotic relationship. She knows they have been fairly vanilla - their most daring act involved repeated pillow talk of a threesome. Even that stopped months ago as she felt increasingly guilty for imagining Xander's best friend, Gideon, in the role of the other man in their fantasy - a fact she never shared with Xander.Would it really be so horrible to try something new? As Alison conducts some online research and warms up to the idea, Xander worries he just made a big mistake. Even if she agrees, what does he do with a sex slave?Xander goes to his more-adventurous buddy Gideon for advice. Gideon suggests that Xander should start by fulfilling Alison's fantasies, but is a Master even something Xander can be?"A Husband's Request" is a light-hearted MMF romance with mild BDSM elements.
