The next morning I woke and realised it was our last full day. I spooned Dee and listened to her breathing. There was a faint smell of honey in the room. I smiled. How would we go back to normal after all this? Matt and Rachel would, they had to, the kids would be back soon. Shame that we'd only got to see them briefly. I'd liked seeing Rachel and Matt as Mum and Dad. They were in their element. So happy.
But what about us? I hoped all of this liberation, this experimenting, this new hunger for sex, wouldn't change anything between us. It would add something, hopefully, but not more than we could handle.
Dee turned over and cuddled up to me. She had a warm contented glow. "What are you thinking?" Her voice was a lovely whisper.
"About being home. Will it still be like this? I'll miss them."
She nodded. "I think part of the reason it's so hot is because we're leaving. If we knew we'd be seeing each other every day it wouldn't be the same."
"Maybe. Would be fun though."
She smiled. "We'd all devour each other."
I laughed. "Couples die in sex swap orgycide. Page three."
Dee giggled. "Orgycide? Isn't that good enough for page one?"
"Nah. Too naughty." I stroked her arm. "What are you thinking about?"
She looked uncertain. "Would you want to play with other people, back home? Is that something you've thought about?"
I couldn't tell by her tone how that made her feel. I guess honesty was the only answer. "No. I've loved playing with Matt and Rachel, because I love them. Back home I really just want you. Is that okay?"
She looked up at me and smiled. "Yes. I wasn't sure if all this had given you a shedload of kinks. Then we'd go home and be joining some swinging group or something."
I gave her nose a playful tweak. "Me? What about the things you've been doing? You've changed jam forever."
"Oh God the jam again." She hid under the sheets. I might have mentioned it a couple of times. I found her under the sheets and tickled her, until she threw them off laughing.
We lay there smiling. I stroked her face again. "I've probably picked up a couple of kinks," I admitted. "I'd be astonished if we all haven't. But nothing that would ever make me look past you. Or need more than you. You mean everything to me."
She kissed me. Long and slow. "Has anything really shocked you?" she asked curiously, when she pulled away.
I thought for a moment. "Rachel wanked me into her cereal."
Dee smiled. "That's gross. Did you love it?"
I nodded. "She loved it, I certainly did. Watching her want me to do that. Wow. So I might be wanking in your cereal in the future."
She laughed and gave me a playful shove. "Don't you dare!"
"You haven't even tried it!"
She sat up in the bed and giggled. "That's so... Rachel."
I rubbed her leg. "I thought you like the taste now?"
"In bed, Jim, not at breakfast!"
She glared at me, then we both broke out laughing.
That morning Matt drove us to a great little cafe to get breakfast. I put the menu aside with a disappointed face. "No jam."
Matt kicked me under the table, then Dee did.
"Ow. OW!"
Matt and Dee looked at each other and laughed. Rachel was next to me in our little booth. She scowled. "Leave the boy alone. He just knows what he likes."
"His likes have changed a little," Dee said, smirking.
I smiled. "A fortnight with the Greens will do that."
Matt and Rachel exchanged a look. "We wanted to ask, it's been such a crazy fortnight. Are you both okay? Do you need to talk about anything?"
"Like what?"
Rachel spread her hands. "I don't know. Anything. We've all done some wild stuff." She lowered her voice. "You've done things I'm sure you never even thought about doing before. We just want to know that you're okay."
I nodded and smiled. "You've kicked down a couple of kink doors, Rachel, you know that?"
Rachel blushed. "Oh?"
"But that's okay. You didn't put those doors there, you didn't stick them in our heads. You just helped us see them, helped us open them. For my part, anyway."
I looked at Dee, she nodded. "I've always been a bit shy with sex," she said. "Sure you think about things, but that doesn't mean you'll ever do them. I'm happy I got to play, to do a bunch of wild things. It's not like I'm going to do them all the time. It's been a lot of fun. I've felt things- crazy things- I would never have experienced otherwise."
I smiled. I had loved seeing Dee become sexier. Bolder. Happier.
"But you wouldn't mind visiting again?" Rachel sounded a little nervous.
"Do you think you might have overwhelmed us?" I asked.
She looked awkward, then. "We care about you. And I was thinking about all the games we've played; well, we might have pushed a bit. We've just been so desperate to have people to play with. I did sort of wonder if we weren't just using you."
I shrugged. "Being your playthings was fucking fun. Heaven. Ticked off every fantasy I have."
Dee smiled. "What he said."
I gave Dee a loving look. "We would love to come back. We love you both. You've made our lives- our relationship- richer."
Rachel looked away. I think she might have been tearing up a little. I knew how empathetic she was. She was always trying to work out if everyone was happy. I rubbed her hand and smiled. "Has this been worrying you? That you've been using us?"
