This is part 5 of a story about a couple who have a YouTube channel, I have spelled their last name differently as not to mess up their search-engine results (as in, this story won't show up if you search for them in Google).
During the telling of the story the narrator changes a few times, this is made clear by a line of dashes and the name of the new narrator.
Word of warning, English is not my first language; I don't have any editors, just Word spell checker.

Jason Winn:
So, there we were, sitting on the rear deck of our brand new catamaran, looking into the darkness, listening for the specific sound of our tender's outboard electric motor. Our friend Joshua had borrowed it to go ashore and, in the meantime, my wife Nikki and I had a serious conversation about asking him if he would like to be part of a threesome. After about 20 minutes we could hear the little boat approaching.
As he pulled up, he smiled and jokingly asked "Permission to come aboard captain?"
I was glad he had made that joke as it somewhat eased the tension in both of us. We helped him dock the tender and hoisted it out of the water. I then offered him a beer and asked about his dinner. Making small talk was better than possibly ruining a friendship over our strange request.
He raved about the nice meal he had at the restaurant in the marina. Finally getting to eat some steak after being aboard or vegetarian boat for a few weeks. But he quickly realised that something was off.
"Did something happen whilst I was out, you guys seem a bit tense?"
So, I decided to bite the bullet and just lay all of our cards on the table.
"You know that next month we have taken on an eight week charter trip, that we can't really talk about because of the Non-Disclosure Agreement we had to sign. Well, there are some things about that trip that we would like to talk to somebody about, but the NDA makes that impossible. However, we have just heard back from the client and if you sign an NDA as well, we can talk to you about it."
Joshua took a sip of his beer, looked pensive and asked:
"This NDA means I can't talk to anyone else about your trip and if I do, they can sue me?"
"Yes, that's sums it up nicely" was my response.
"You guys seem to be really struggling with something, so if me signing an NDA means we can talk about it, I will. Anything to help my friends."
Nikki presented him a freshly printed NDA form and a pen.
"Thank you, Joshua, for being our friend" she added.
He glanced of the form and signed at the bottom. I took another swig from my bottle of beer, as I needed some Dutch courage before I started my story.
"So, this guy by the name of John won a LOT of money playing the power ball lottery and decided to see if his favourite YouTube couple would be crazy enough to accept an insane amount of money in exchange for a crazy 8 week charter trip. The other guests on the trip are some of his favourite pornstars and the dress code will be as minimal as legally possible. So that means nudity whenever possible or otherwise skimpy outfits."
Joshua's expression went from surprised to grinning rather quickly
"This John sounds like an interesting fellow!" he said.
" That's only half of it. There will also be cash bonusses if somebody completes an optional task. Apparently, they range from flashing somebody to fucking somebody and even we are asked to consider completing some tasks. He even paid us to start reading erotic stories from a website called Literotica. Mostly about people who live in a polyamorous group and the concept of compersion."
By then I finally had the nerve to look him in the eye, wondering what the hell he would make of my crazy story. He just sat there grinning at me and then said:
"Let me guess, 'The Circle' or anything else written by Steve Wallace?"
Apparently, Nikki was a surprised by his response as I was, as she literally squealed like a little girl. I was to stunned to make any sound, but my face must had portrayed my disbelief.
Joshua chuckled at our responses and said:
"Hey, it gets lonely out there in the middle of nowhere, especially when the tourist season is over, so I have been enjoying the stories on that site for a while now. I am glad to hear that John is steering you in the compersion direction, anything else might be a serious threat to your relationship."
Nikki had composed herself again an added:
"You are right. Jason was very against the while trip to begin with, but reading all these compersion stories has managed to bring him around. Well, that and the fact that I finally gave in and got my nipples pierced as part of the first task."
Joshua looked very intrigued; he even raised an eyebrow. So, she continued:
"Yeah, you probably need some more background info for that story. We got together at a young age and we never had much money. So, when it came to holidays and birthdays, we would always ask the other person 'What would you like as a gift?' and usually it ended up begin something practical like new clothes or something we could use for school. Until one day his request was for me to get my nipples pierced. Back then piercings where not that common, especially in the part of Texas we lived in. So, my immediate response was `No! `. He had to laugh about my shocked reaction and ever since that has been his first response whenever I asked about his present. It sort of became our inside joke. When it became clear to John that Jason was about to veto against his trip because of the optional tasks, he tried to give a few examples of tasks that did not involve us having sex with other people. One of those was me getting my nipples pierced. What Jason didn't know was that by that time I was almost ready to grant him his wish. So, it became the deal breaker, I would get my nipples pierced if Jason agreed to the charter trip."
We all had to laugh after that revelation.
"So, Jason got suckered into this trip because of his piercing fetish? I do hope that it was not the only reason to agree to this trip? I must admit that the way you two both have been acting these last few weeks was different from the first time we spent together. Nikki seamed to wear much more daring clothes and somehow also comes across as much more confident and flirtier. It was sometimes hard for me not to obviously glare at you. The few times Jason caught me ogling your body, he didn't seem to be to upset about it."
"You are right, she has indeed changed the way you just described and I love it. So that must mean that I have also changed. The new me doesn't get jealous; I just love the fact that my loving wife is so hot that other people lust after her. We never used to watch porn, but Nikki has become online friends with the pornstars that will be joining us on the trip and we now watch some of their work when we have sex. Whenever the scene involves a woman and more than one man, she likes to talk dirty to me. Trying to get me to imagine that she is the woman on screen, getting all the pleasure and attention from those men. That combined with all the reading we have been doing, it really has changed my way of thinking. I love my wife, so why wouldn't I love the fact that these men can give her so much pleasure. I know she wants to spend the rest of her life with me, but that does not have to mean that I am the only person she ever has sex with."
That was the first time I actually admitted that to anyone other than my wife and it left good to do so. Like a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
Joshua looked at me and asked:
"It sure sounds like you have been on a journey of discovery these last few months. And it seems like you actually have changed the way how you fell about these things, but I do believe that so far this has all been hypothetical?"
