"My marriage is one thing I cherish most in the world. I would die for her. Or kill." Lix Stone

It had been a week of not having his wife at his side. This was the first time since the day he met Rosaline that he did not have her with him at night. He was frustrated and confused.

Yes, he fucked up. He set the rules that they were no longer having an open marriage and yet he had a little play time. He never knew eating pussy would get him in this much hot water.

After a few days, he thought Rosie would be over it and would come back home. They would have sex all night, he would buy her something or take her away on a vacation and things would be right back where they were. His perfect wife, his perfect life.

But after seven whole days, nothing from her. He knew from Jae screaming at him about making things right with her mother that Rosie was at her place. Jae did not like that because she liked her independence and moved out of the house the first chance she could after she graduated high school. His other daughters took their time before they moved out.

He did not know what to say to get Rosaline back. She had to work things out herself before she decided she wanted him again.

Or he could beg.

He showered, shaved, doused himself in her favorite cologne of his, and dressed in his best attire. He stopped to get two dozen red roses and made his way to see his wife at his daughter's place. In all of their years together, never did he see himself here.

He let himself into the building and it was a good thing Jae gave him the code and key to her place. Rosaline would forgive him, and maybe as a treat, they could have some fun with a girlfriend or two.

They set the rules in their marriage and if Rosie wanted to see girls again, he would allow that, anything to make her happy. If she forbade him from indulging, he would obey whatever she wanted.

Once inside Jae's condo, he was shocked it was so quiet in the place, even though most of the lights were turned on.

Rosie sat in the living room, her Kindle in her hands reading one of the books she loved.

"Sweetheart."

Rosaline looked up at him and then back to her book. "No one invited you."

"Babe, I came to apologize." He held the roses out to her. "Roses for my Rosie."

Rosaline sat her Kindle down and then took the roses. "Beautiful."

He took a seat beside her. "I was wrong, for doing what I did. And I was wrong for having you take care of my son like that. It was a lot to ask. I'll hire a nanny to-"

"Nonsense! I raised my three girls I can raise your son...I mean, our son." She set the flowers on the table. "I did not mean what I said about Prince. I know he's not mine, but I love that little boy as if he is my own. In fact...I want to adopt him to make him legally mine. I can never replace his biological mother, but he should grow up to know I love him and want him."

This was shocking to him, after the things she said about Prince. Maybe she said them because she was upset with him. He hoped she did not mean those things.

"I love you, Rosie, anything you want." He grabbed her hands and kissed them. "I will never, ever go outside of our marriage again. You are all I want."

She snatched her hands away from him. "Nonsense. We work best when we are open with ourselves. The more the merrier. If you get to play, I get to play."

"If you need another girlfriend, I can understand that, but I don't want anyone else but you."

"I want to be with another man," she said.

That knocked the wind out of him. He did not expect to hear Rosaline ever say that. She had no attraction to men before him. She was a clear lesbian, he was her curiosity. They fell in love and she said there would never be another man for her. What changed?

Maybe this was her payback to him.

And would he agree to this?

"Okay, whatever you want my love." He pulled her into a kiss. "Please come back home, I need you. And Prince misses you."

"I'm serious about wanting to be his mother."

"We will get it done."

He told his wife not to even bother packing her things, he was swooping her off on a vacation to one of her favorite cities, Venice, Italy. It's where they went when they had enough money to go on a vacation many years ago. When there were only the first two girls and before they were married. Prince was already in the care of Kendra and he knew she would be a good big sister slash babysitter for him as she was doing well as a mother right now.

Rosaline fell in love with the small, quaint City of Water because it was mostly surrounded by water and everything was walkable around the city. They did not need a car. Maybe take a boat ride to get around, but mostly they could walk wherever they need to go.

"I will buy you whatever you need. Let me spoil you with all the things you need and want."

The flight was long but enjoyable in first class with lots of wine and a gourmet meal.

He booked the Baglioni Hotel Luna, in a deluxe suite in the Venetian style, complete with original period furniture and original Murano chandeliers. The view was right on the canal, and as soon as they were inside the room, Rosaline made her way to stare at the view.

He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Baby I love you so much. I never want to be apart again."

"I want to take me right here, overlooking the canal."

"Oh, you ain't said nothing but a word!" Alix snatched his shirt over his head and began to undo his pants before he finished his sentence.

His dick was hard in an instant, Rosaline had not undressed yet. Once she turned to him, a smile spread across her face, and with a twinkle of her eyes, her dress dropped to the floor. Only in her lacy black bra and barely-there thong, she was on display in the large picturesque window where anyone could see her exquisite body.

His wife was beyond beautiful. Fit at forty-nine, flawless skin, a dancer's body. He wanted nothing more but to be inside of her.

"Show me why you're the best that ever did it."

Down on his knees, he planted his face between her thighs, ripped off her thong with his teeth, and went straight for his pot of gold. Sucking her as she dripped into his mouth and he was not going to let one drop spill. Eating pussy was his favorite thing in the world, and his wife was his favorite flavor.

With her ass to the glass, she moaned and twisted a bit but never asked him to stop. Rosaline's favorite thing was getting her pussy ate, well, next to eating pussy herself. They both had a love for it.

After he devoured her till she was dry, they showered and headed out for the night, walking through the streets, stopping at a few of the shops. They stopped at Suso's and waited in a long as hell line for gelato then enjoyed a beer and shared a pizza at Mister Pizza.

They took a late-night gondola ride complete with a singing gondolier. He held Rosaline in his arms, feeling so in love with his wife. Happy with his life again. He would never give this up.

"I want another baby," Rosaline said out of nowhere and he was completely stumped.

He did not know what to say to this. What was he supposed to say? He was fifty and she was forty-nine. Rosaline said she did not want any more kids after Erica so she had her tubes tied. That was permanent. On top of that, she was nearly fifty.

He was a doctor, he knew what that meant.

"We have Prince. You want to adopt him and so we will do that."

"I want to have another baby."

His wife was talking crazy, that's for sure. He did not want to ruin the moment. She must still feel some way about him having a baby by someone else. That someone else who was nearly half her age. Therefore, it was his fault for her feeling that way.

"Rosie dear," he said in his most tactful voice. "You're a grandmother. You have Drake and Michael now. And I'm sure the girls are not done giving you more beautiful grandbabies."

"That is not the same!"

He sensed the fire about to rile up in Rosaline, so he said nothing.

"You're a specialist in this Alix, you can have the procedure reversed and do whatever you have to do for me to have another baby. Our baby."

To keep his wife happy, he would do whatever it took. They had many more years together and he needed to keep her happy for all of them. Till death do them part.

Well, hmmm...

A/N: This family and their revelations. Will Rosie go through with trying to have a baby? What about her wanting to be with another man? Why now?
