"So, crazy naked sex orgy next Saturday?" asked Scott with a grin.
"Is it really an orgy," Julie wondered out loud, "if it's just the four of us?"
The cashier at the student café, wide eyed and blushing, declined to offer an opinion on the issue as Scott and Julie paid for their meals. Together, the lanky, shaggy-haired young college student and his attractive blonde lunch companion made their way to a quiet booth in an out of the way part of the dark, underground café.
As they slipped into their seats, Julie found herself singing along to the music playing in the background. One of the reasons she enjoyed the café so much was that they played good music. It certainly wasn't the food. As she finished up the last verse, Julie saw Scott smiling at her and doing a credible job of pretending he wasn't looking down her blouse.
"You're pretty good," he grinned.
"Thanks," she said, "I always loved that music."
"Well," Scott replied, "if you like them have you listened to..."
He launched into a lengthy discussion of his favorite obscure alternative rock bands. It was a topic Julie found she could embrace warmly. For a time, hesitant at first, then gently probing, growing in vigor that finally turned fiercely passionate, the pair discovered their shared love of music.
"Thanks for meeting me for lunch," Scott ventured during a contented pause.
"No problem," Julie answered. "I thought it would give us a chance to talk. Glen and Ann had their lunch together, so I thought we should too."
"Yeah, Ann told me all about that," Scott said. Julie heard the unvoiced question and saw the searching look in his eyes.
"Glen told me ALL about it too," she said with a smile.
Actually Julie personally felt that Glen's description of his lunch date had been rather unnecessarily detailed. She really hadn't needed to hear about every moment of her husband's encounter with the young coed, whose boyfriend was currently sitting across from her. On the other hand, Glen had seemed to find recounting the event rather inspiring and Julie had quite enjoyed the things it had inspired him to do. Suddenly, she felt a little warm. Looking at Scott, she saw something else starting to form behind his eyes.
"Don't get any ideas," Julie smirked as she playfully wagged her fork at him, then turned her attention to finishing off her salad.
"So," Scott ventured again a few minutes later, "what do you think about next weekend?"
"I think it should be a lot of fun," Julie said honestly.
Strange as she knew it seemed to others, Julie had no problem with the notion of Glen having sex with another woman. What's more, she knew Glen enjoyed watching her with another man. Julie thought Scott and Ann were a nice younger couple. Their last encounter had been very pleasurable. Unfortunately, a lack of condoms had prevented the couples from doing more than what Scott had called "soft swapping." Julie had been a little disappointed, especially since she was on the Pill and so wasn't all that worried about getting knocked up. Still, she hadn't felt it fair to let Scott inside her when Glen couldn't do the same with Ann. Glen and Ann had gotten past that point during their little lunch date, and Julie was frankly looking forward to a chance with Scott.
"You know," Scott was saying, "We're really glad to have hooked up with another swinger couple."
"Swingers?" Julie said curiously, wondering who Scott and Ann had hooked up with. Despite their distinct lack of monogamy, Julie had never thought of her and Glen as swingers. She'd never really thought of them as anything but Julie and Glen.
"Yeah," Scott was talking quickly and obviously enthusiastic about his topic, "it's nice to have found you guys. It's hard to find another couple that's serious and comfortable with each other, who are OK with having sex with other people. No strings, no emotional ties, just casual sex between people for fun. I mean, you work out the rules for your relationship and how you're going to handle messing around with other people and you enjoy it. Mostly, we've just found guys looking to cheat on their girlfriends or people who aren't willing to go beyond watching or maybe some soft swapping."
