Lana sighs, looking at me. She writes a text.

• "it's not perfect, i'll explain to alex. he gave me the okay with you two tho so dont worry" - L
• "okok, pls tell me later" - C

"So, my husband is... well he..." She looks away. "I don't know how to say it, but he's not really interested in me. He married me, told me he loved me, but he just... never really engaged. His father is a CEO, and he's been running around doing business trips since we started dating, so, I knew what I was getting into..." She sighs. "He's asked me about this before. Cuckolding. He's been a pervert-- so have I, but he never seems interested in other things. I mentioned he wants to 'be a cameraman' I mean that in the literal sense. He calls me his little pornstar. I used to find that hot, but I kind of find it grating now." She leans on the couch. I nod, "I see. You feel a little used for his pleasure, but, you don't feel accounted for." She nods, "And I get that he's busy. I told him to feel free to fool around himself while he's out as long as he's safe about it... which he's done before, explicitly asking permission and being honest. No cheating, no lying or tomfoolery." I nod, "That's good at least. Have you talked to him about this?" She shakes her head. "I'm worried about it." I ponder, "Text him. Tell him what we got up to. He gave permission, right?" She nods, "Mhm." Lana flips up her phone, sending a long, detailed text. She adds some flourishes and spices it up.

A pause.

• "wow! awesome baby" - H
• "it was a lot of fun, gonna stay the night" - L
• "be safe please! i'll be home next week, sorry i've been gone so much" - H
• "its ok, i learned some things I can do to you" - L
• "i'm scared and aroused, bring it" - H

I chuckle. "He seems alright, actually. I think you just need better communication." I ponder for a moment. "I think his lack of interest is his own insecurity. I guarantee you he's into you, and loves the shit out of you, but doesn't quite feel like he's doing you justice. So, he distances himself, feeling like he's intruding on you. He calls you pornstar because he wants to boost your confidence, albeit misguided. He wants you to cuck him so you feel free, and not like you're constrained to him. That's my perspective." Lana blinks, surprised. "That's... shockingly level-headed. I never thought about it that way..." She grabs her phone, texting again.

• "hey, i love the fuck out of you, you know that right?" - L
• "haha, feeling lovey?" - H
• "you know i chose you, right?" - L

No response.

• "thank you for letting me explore myself baby, i cant wait to see you" - L
• "you're too good for me you adorable motherfucker" - H
• "i love you too, thank you, needed to hear that today" - H

She smiles warmly. "Alex, you're a good guy." I smile, "That doesn't exonerate him, mind you. He does need to be more attentive and understanding of you, but it's a good first step." She nods, a warm blush across her cheeks.
