As Saturday night approached my mind raced trying to think of how things would play out. The week leading up to it was filled with sexual role playing and impassioned sex. When we weren't having sex, we were clarifying the boundaries of this adventure as suggested by Doug and Marie. We only had one rule and that was that we only played in the same room; Hal was not interested in Doug taking Marie and I to his room for a threesome while he waited on the couch.
In hindsight, Tim Horton's was a terrible place to meet. The light trench coat barely passed the hem of my dress leaving a lot of my bare legs exposed. It's not every day you see a woman dressed to the nines and wearing three inch strappy patent leather heels at a coffee shop.
After glancing around for a familiar face we concluded that we had arrived first, "I'll grab us a table."
Hal released my hand, "Did you want coffee or something else?"
"A bottle of water please." I wandered off to find a quiet table in the corner.
I spotted Doug and Marie as they walked across the parking lot. Doug was extremely tall and Marie was dressed in a micro mini that left nothing to the imagination as she walked arm in arm with Doug. As they entered I smiled and gave a gentle wave.
Marie held out her hand to me, leaning in and giving me a peck on the cheek as I took it, "Hi Laura."
Barely getting a hello back to Marie before Doug leaned down and gave me a gentle hug, "I'm Doug."
"You are tall! How tall are you?" I couldn't believe my choice of first words to them.
Doug laughed and the entire coffee shop turned as a result of his bellow, "I'm 5 feet 19 inches." Another roar ensued at what I assume was a go to response he used regularly.
Hal returned quickly and shook Doug's hand before giving Marie an awkward hug.
"Ready to go?" Doug hadn't wasted any time sitting.
"Let's do this." Marie laced her arm in the crook of Hal's giving him a playful tug.
It was barely a five minute drive from the Tim Horton's to a banquet hall full of cars. If I hadn't known where we were going, I would have sworn it was a wedding or an event of that nature. Inside was a completely different story; this was clearly not a wedding and unlike anything I had ever witnessed. wall.
"We should find you two a seat before you hurt yourselves!" Doug's laugh overshadowed the music. Seeing our puzzled looks he clarified, "You two are going to walk into something the way your heads are spinning." Marie joined in as we all laughed.
Doug was correct about my distraction; between the scanty outfits, nudity and what I presumed to be dancing, there was a lot to take in. I sat as Doug pulled my chair out for me seating me beside Marie at our cozy table. Doug sat next to me and offered the chair beside Marie for Hal. Idle chit-chat took place until the boys got up to get us drinks.
"Are you nervous?" Marie moved her face close.
I smiled trying to act serene although my heart pounded through my chest, "a bit."
Putting an arm around me she leaned in close to my ear, "You are in charge; never forget that. If you aren't comfortable doing something, don't do it; no means no."
I took the opportunity to ask a million newbie questions, "Do people have sex here?"
"They aren't supposed to, but some do. It's not a big deal if it's discreet." Marie smiled.
"But you can get naked?" My cheeks flushed at the strange conversation we were having.
Marie laughed, "Honey you can strip down to your birthday suit, but the guys can't."
Doug and Marie introduced us to some friends as we made the rounds. We talked about how long they were married and their two kids. It was evident that our time to discuss our relationship had come; I couldn't have been more relieved when Hal began to speak.
Without much detail he said we had known each other a long time and we were kindred spirits not bound by societal norms or age.
Doug put his arm around me, "You are one lucky S.O.B. Hal! Laura here is a beautiful young woman."
Hal just smiled as our eyes met across the table.
Doug and I danced often as did Marie and Hal. I watched as Marie ground herself on Hal's thigh occasionally kissing his neck. When we caught each other's gaze, Hal would wink and smile at me.
Straining my neck I looked up in to Doug's gentle blue eyes. A finely trimmed goatee slowly lowered to me until his lips were against mine.
I held my breath as our lips met and we kissed. My heart beat against my chest as he pulled me closer. When our kiss broke, I searched approvingly for Hal only to find him locking lips with Marie.
