A bitter, but silent exit.

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Guy engages with a couple and all seems to go well. Situation is repeated a few times with some being sleepovers.

After one that seemed fine to him, he nods off for a while. Half awake, but still half asleep, he overhears the couple talking. She makes a few unpleasant references including words like creepy and uncomfortable. Her Hubby asks if she wants to continue. She says yeah, but tentatively 'because he really needs it'. Then she adds, 'maybe we should think about it and talk to him later.'

They leave, thinking he's still asleep.

He's affected a lot more than they might think.

Does he:

Get mad and confront them?

Tell them he heard it all and thinks he should call it off?

Quietly back out of future meetings, making vague excuses?

Cut off all contact and have nothing further to do with them?

Play it by ear and continue on, waiting for them to say something openly, knowing all well that they/she doesn't really want to?


---------------


Now, add in a bit that he is the landlord and owns the duplex they all live in. Through mutual agreement (not solely his demand), they have been paying less rent than market rates in exchange for these encounters.



Does he make them move out?

Raise their rent to market rates?

Or do they decide to move out on their own?

Not sure this will ever get written, just something floating in brain space.

'because he really needs it'

A pity fuck! How sweet and altruistic of her. He just hit the goldmine of unicorns. Perfect male fantasy. Shush and let them keep fucking him. End of story. 5 stars. : P

 

[big_cane_sugar]

A pity fuck is less a perfect male fantasy than something a wife does every so often if divorcing her husband isn't worth the trouble yet.

Okay now! That sounds like it's venturing into the Loving Wives realm, which is my favored space.

Assuming that the couple knows they're getting reduced rent for the landlord getting sex with the wife, why would the landlord even entertain the thought that there's some loving emotional connection from the wife?

So, it depends on the setup on how they got involved in that situation. Which came first: the sex with the wife cheating, husband looking to share his wife (watching?), or falling short in rent payments for a few months? In situations like that with landlord/tenant sharing for reduced rent, it's unlikely the landlord expects anything more. So, hearing the couple discuss her feeling the situation is creepy might be one way of her describing it.

She's basically a prostitute unless the landlord is Bi and the husband is also sexually satisfying part of the reduced rent (then they're both prostitutes).

It all depends on how you want to build the characters and build-up to the initial encounter. There are so many variations, you can take that in any direction you prefer. You'll find plenty of those types of scenarios in Erotic Couplings or Noncon/Reluctance (with a few in Loving Wives, for the brave authors.)

 

[CalBishForNow]

Scenario one: you could have him openly admit what he overheard, leading to a frank discussion of feelings, leading eventually to something even better than before, maybe a polyamorous throuple. If you want this to be basically realistic, and you don't want the protagonist to be a total asshole, then anything other than "get mad and confront them" seems basically plausible. Personally in real life I'd probably quietly back out with vague excuses. I think the most fun/dramatic way for them to continue the story would be for the couple to try to help the protagonist with his issues in ways other than direct sex, e.g. maybe fixing him up on blind dates, maybe coaching him through one specific long-term relationship, but there are lots of ways that could go.

Adding the landlord wrinkle: it's harder to have it realistic, have a happy ending, and have everyone involved not look like an asshole. Pick one of those elements to throw out and go nuts. You could lean into fantasy and have some wild soap opera stuff develop, or lean into tragedy LW style, or lean into a detestable character or characters and go straight for R/NC/blackmail.

It really depends on his personality and how he deals with conflict.

Then, is this a stroker or a longer piece where you can get into discussions about what happened, how they feel, and how to resolve it.

Is it a HEA where they make up, a tragedy where some people are hurt/upset/angry?

 

[big_cane_sugar]

An erection has no conscience. I think that's probably the answer.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

I'd be leaning towards #s 3 and 4.

Maybe he even has another house somewhere and moves away. Sends a note saying he has to be away for an extended time for family, or some work thing.

Nothing is said about rent and they keep paying the same reduced rate.

No HE for anyone, just wondering why.

 

[Andreas_Kreuz]

you said creepy. why would he be creepy?

 

[lovecraft68]

My option would be the OP writes his own story and ending and doesn't look for others to do it for them.

 

[Britva415]

because he really needs it

Who?

The husband? Or the "asleep" guy?

 

[Rob_Royale]

I think she should get pregnant.
Sorry. I just had to say it.

Bad Rob! (slaps) Hehee!
