"How long has it been that way?" Maggie said with eyebrows raised as she took a sip of tea.
"Over a year, I guess." Felicia replied. "It's not like there was a start date. Things just gradually stopped working."
"But aren't you horny, dear?" Maggie commented curiously.
"I don't know. I guess. We do still fool around on occasion. As time goes on, I find I think less and less about it." Felicia explained.
"Well, dear. Have you considered outsourcing your...pleasure?" Maggie suggested.
"No! You know us. Ralph and I are hardly the swinger types." Felicia said in shock.
"Yes, but if it were with someone you were already friends with. People you already felt comfortable with, I would imagine that would be a different situation." Maggie pointed out.
"Perhaps, perhaps. But I honestly don't think I know anyone who would be interested." Felicia said.
"Oh really? Austin has commented numerous times over the years about how attractive he finds you." Maggie stated.
"But he's your husband, and one of Ralph's best friends. You're not saying..." Felicia started.
"That I'd let him fuck you? I might." Maggie finished.
"Why? Is there something wrong with your marriage?" Felicia gasped.
"No! Things have just gotten a little...pedestrian, the last few years, and maybe this would perk things up for us." Maggie said. "I'd want to be there, of course." She added.
"I'll give it some consideration. I don't want to go behind Ralph's back, but I also don't think I would want to have him watching me have sex with someone else." Felicia pondered.
"It's your call, dear." Maggie smiled.
Felicia was nervous even bringing it up with Ralph, but had decided that if this was even hypothetically a possibility, then he needed to know. After all, they were mature adults who had know each other for decades.
"So, let me get this straight. Maggie offered to let you have sex with Austin with no strings attached?" Ralph summed up.
"Essentially. Other than she wants to be there when it happens." Felicia said.
"What about me?" Ralph asked.
"I'd really rather not have you there. It's embarrassing enough to think of Maggie watching. You know I've never been much for exhibitionism." Felicia admitted.
"But this is something you really want." Ralph stated.
"I didn't at first. I was pretty shocked that Maggie even made the offer. After thinking about it for a while, I thought that maybe it would be worth trying. If it didn't work out, then we'd just put it in the rearview mirror." Felicia offered.
"And if it did work out?" Ralph asked.
"Then we'd have to see." Felicia said.
"You'd cuckold me with a couple of our oldest friends?" Ralph said flatly.
"It wouldn't be like that." Felicia managed. She barely even knew what that word meant. But she was aware of a vague arousal stemming from the simple fact that Ralph hadn't just shot the entire idea down altogether.
Ralph felt like he was being backed into a corner. If he said no, then she was bound to be disappointed and unhappy, and he didn't want that. If he agreed, and it turned out to be a regular thing, then by definition, he'd be cuckolded. He looked at his wife. Even in her fifties she was still pretty hot. She kept her hair pretty close to its original honey blond hue, she still had a good figure, if just the slightest bit matronly.
"I suppose, if it's really what you want, it would be worth a try." He concluded. "But if it starts to get crazy, it ends."
"Fine." Felicia said, relieved.
Austin still had a physique reminiscent of the college football player he had been. Salt and pepper hair and the healthy glow of a man who spent a good portion of his free time outdoors.
Maggie had met her at the door, and led her into the living room, where Austin had drinks waiting for them all. He had on a pair of madras shorts and a polo shirt. Typical attire. Maggie had on her tennis outfit, having just come from the club. She indicated to Felicia that she should sit down next to Austin on the couch. She noted that he had cologne on and smelled yummy.
They drank their drinks and made slightly awkward small talk. There was an unmistakable elephant in the room, as Austin leaned in and kissed Felicia's lips. Lingering he kissed her again. It was nice, she thought. His hand was on her hip.
Felicia glanced nervously over at Maggie, who was taking in the display with a look of fascination on her face.
