Told from the husband's point of view, this is a story of a couple with a boring sex life, until his fantasy becomes a reality and his wife goes on a date with a black man. What started out as an erotic fantasy turns into a year-long affair in which the husband is almost completely deprived of any sexual favors, since his wife is being used and abused by her lover and his friends. He sees her come home with bruises, tattoos, and more, and can only wonder what has been happening to her. She tells him a little of it, which is more than he wants to know.

In the end, they get back together, but their relationship has been forever changed.
