"Oh, hi, Honey," Peggy said as she recovered her balance. "Eric, this is my husband, Sam."
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Sam said as we shook hands. "I heard about what you did with Maggie so Cassie could win this week."
"Likewise," I muttered. Cassie held his left hand outstretched toward the bedroom Peggy and I had just left. She was completely naked.
"How was he?" Sam asked Peggy.
"He's fabulous," she said. "I'm tempted to take him home."
"Let me know if you do," he replied.
"Are you having a good time?" Cassie asked me.
"Yeah," I stammered. "Yeah, it's a great party."
I couldn't imagine a more bizarre situation. I had just fucked a married woman, and she was calmly introducing me to her husband as if I was an old friend. And that husband was about to sleep with my date. Granted, Cassie and I scarcely knew each other. I had no claim to her affection, but shouldn't she have been spending her time getting acquainted with me on our first real date? I had hopped into bed with her within minutes of meeting her just as I had done with Peggy, but Cassie was single, and Peggy was married. I couldn't remember knowingly sleeping with another man's wife before, and I sincerely doubted I would be alive if I had. Sam had just wanted to know if I was a good fuck! Nothing else.
Cassie kissed me on the cheek. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," she said. "Let's go, Sam. I've been waiting a month to get my hands on you." Sam kissed Peggy as Cassie led him into the bedroom.
Peggy took my hand and led me away from the door. "Come on," she said. "I'll help you clean up, then I'll take you down to the hot tub and we can find someone else to play with." She guided me to a bathroom and closed the door. "You seemed a little nervous back there," she said as she filled the sink. "Is this your first time? At a swing party, I mean."
"Yes, it is," I said. She took my towel off my waist and started cleaning my cock and balls with a soapy cloth.
"I was scared stiff my first time. Sam was too. We were both certain that the other would find a better lover to run away with. When we got home, we were more committed to each other and to our marriage than ever. That was five years ago."
"You mean you just decided one day to be swingers?"
"No, no. We both had been fooling around at our jobs. I caught him first at a Christmas party. I didn't say anything. Instead I found the husband of the woman he had been with and fucked him. When we got home I told him what I had seen and what I had done in the same sentence. He was shocked into silence. When we went to bed, we were both so horny that we didn't get any sleep for twenty-four hours. That was the hottest night we'd ever had."
"So what was there to be nervous about? It seems to me you had the jealousy beast well tamed."
"That had been spontaneous. Joining the club was planned. We were deliberately sleeping with other people right under each other's noses. It took us four hours to make our first swap. We went to different rooms, but, believe me, I was terrified. I was sure we'd be filing for divorce."
"Obviously you didn't."
She smiled as she dried my genitals with my towel. "When we got home, we talked about what we had done and with whom. He'd been with two women, but I had only done the one guy. Then he told me all about his affairs, and I confessed to mine. We realized we had nothing to worry about. We always came home to each other."
"I think it's great that you can trust each other like that."
"Swinging isn't for everybody. Neither is bowling, although they serve the function." I had to laugh. "I'm serious. They are just different forms of recreation. Speaking of recreation, Cassie says you're a pretty good softball player." I was shocked that she knew I played. "Our club has been challenged to a game by another club, and we need a shortstop, not to mention someone who can hit the ball,"
"It sounds like a high-stakes game."
