This series will develop slowly. The first chapter deals primarily with setting the stage and character development. I don't intend for this to be a 'wham bam, thank you, ma'am kind of story. I am not yet certain what succeeding chapters will contain, tho' sex will certainly be a sizeable part of it. This is my first offering, so I sincerely desire feedback and critique. I hope you enjoy!

Susan and Bill Wytheson had been happily married for 9 years.
Bill was the new CEO of a successful chain of clothing stores along the West Coast. He had worked long and hard for his success, as had Susan. She had continued her work after college to help financially so that Bill could continue his studies to obtain his MBA, and had endured times of loneliness as her husband and lover traveled frequently during his climb up the ladder of success.
Susan sat relaxed in the passenger seat as Bill drove through the warm summer evening. The workweek was done. It was Friday evening and she and her husband were on their way to a weekend party with friends in Santa Cruz.
In the back seat of the car were an attractive young couple that was a recent acquaintance and new neighbor. Ann and Tom Honeby were a few years younger than the Wytheson's. They had just bought the house next door when Ann had inherited a considerable estate from her parents upon their untimely death while traveling abroad.
Susan had quit working when Bill was promoted to his new position. Being home, she had observed the new neighbors moving in and had done the traditional welcoming of the new couple to the neighborhood. As both ladies were home each day, they started having morning coffee together and soon became fast friends.
The couples socialized together, dining out, going dancing, and sharing the love all four of them had for really good jazz. They often played tennis and occasionally a round of golf.
