Wife's awakening to a sexual pathway
Author's note: this is a recollection that had numerous gaps in my memory of the occasion. Valerie was more than able to fill me in with all the details as it was really her story.

Maybe because we took a less travelled path in life we were an uncommon couple. We never had children but we were always deeply connected, very much in love and into each other.
Both of us with strong sex drives, we were mutually interested in ways to spice up our marriage. Helping that out, Val was just getting into dressing a little provocatively, to show off a little on our date nights and this evening went to that direction.
Not swingers by any means, we were committed to each other but came to understand that sometimes including others in our sexual activities or selectively sharing was something we could handle.
We had a couple of experiences with our friend, Amy*, and it was nothing but positive. We loved the excitement it gave us. Sex could be even more fun if a couple allowed for a little expansion of "normal" sexual conduct.

Valerie had turned 30 and I was just over 32 when we moved to Sacramento and we were just getting to know the place. A new gal acquaintance of Val's with some of the same tastes in music invited us to a club on the other side of town so we were to meet up with them and a small group of their friends.
Getting ready, she entered the bedroom for a clothing appraisal from me. I liked what I saw and remarked, "Wow! That's pretty sexy for an old married gal."
For this Saturday night out Val dressed in a high-waisted black dress with a flared skirt that rode about 3-4 inches above the knee. The upper part of the dress was an enticing halter top which called attention to her bralessness.
It was like a cocktail dress that was meant for dancing but she topped that with her choice of underwear.
"You ain't seen nothin' yet", as she lifted up the hem of her dress to show me her brand new garter belt and stockings. Bright white lace straps and white bikini panties. I was a little shocked as I didn't expect that display but I shouldn't underestimate my woman. She knows how to dress to please and she was getting more and more uninhibited all the time.
"I'm going to flash you every once and awhile so you can see how sexy your wife can be. That'll get your motor runnin', you old married guy."
With that, I got a twirl and her skirt flared out to expose the white ensemble.
This motion would be significant as the evening progressed.
Four couples met up at the bar/club and we stuffed ourselves into a hugely oversized curved booth that was off to the side, not facing the dance floor directly. A little dark, not private, but out of traffic.
We paired off with one couple immediately for light conversation. The man was also a Thomas but he went with Thom as opposed to my "Tom". Neither of us can remember the wife's name.
Thom was rather handsome with a dark complexion, great hair and blue eyes. This is a fact retrieved from Valerie's memory and she was quite certain of it. Except for the hair, I couldn't pick him out of a lineup.
They were both slightly older than us, probably by ten years. Thom was very charming and funny and he caught the attention of my wife, even whispering to me, "Wow, that guy is good looking."
I recall a negative return from me, "Yeah, but he's a little short, don't you think?"
I suppose he was five-eight which happens to be the exact height of Valerie.
My wife responded with a teasing, "not really, he'll do."
It was that coy response that told me she was attracted to him.
The unfortunately unnamed wife was nice looking as we recall but we didn't really interact with her that night so she's almost lost to memory.
The usual chatter, conversation and laughter surrounded the booth but from the start Thom paid quite a bit of attention to Valerie who was eating it up. The wife was being ignored but maybe this was their manner. He flirted while she talked to the other women. Some couples do this.
His attention evolved into dancing. His woman not being interested, he repeatedly went for Val. I really did not have a problem with this as I was nursing a recent sports injury to my ankle and was not going to be available this night at all. Valerie was in a great mood and eager to dance so they hit the floor and stayed there for quite some time.
I watched them occasionally and noticed a pretty strong connection. It was kind of a flirtatious courtship dance as they did the slow songs very, very close and really got physically into the fast music. That Valerie was into this didn't bother me at all. I like that other guys find her sexy and attractive.
But...another fun aspect came about in some of the fast swing tunes that had Val spinning and twirling about. Her fairly short, light material skirt rose up to show off those white garters and panties and in that club lighting they practically glowed. Maybe it was a black light but with the contrast of the black dress the undergarments really were visible.
She knew it, too. I could tell in her expression that she knew she was showing off her sexy wardrobe. This was really fun for her. All the men in the room who were attentive to the dance floor waited for the next twirl or spin. Thom was all eyes.
I mentioned it to her when they returned to the booth as the band took a break.
"Val, you are giving the guys a great show with those garters."
"Don't ya just know it! And I've got Thom totally infatuated. He can't keep his hands off my butt just to feel them. Did you notice?"
That explained the caresses I saw when they danced a slow song just before break. He repeatedly dropped his hand to her rump and Val was letting him. She was very accepting of the attention.
"I guess you guys think this stuff is really sexy, huh?"
"Well, yeah. A girl with that stuff on sends a message: I like sex and I don't mind you knowing it."
Another sexy aspect to her wardrobe came from simply getting into and out of the booth. When she slid around on the vinyl seat her dress came well up her legs. The black stocking tops and white straps were on full display as well as a glimpse of those eye-catching panties.
Val obviously knew this but she didn't pull the hem down. She was completely unworried and casual about the exposure as this was a purposeful flash. She told me later she got a kick out of it and the attention from the men's eyes.
That said, I noticed a little coolness from the wives at the table. They didn't like the flirtatious, immodest behavior from the "new girl". Thom's wife was aware of Val's effect on her husband and it showed.
Her husband wasn't troubled, though. He was very attracted to my sexy gal. I had gone up to the bar to freshen our drinks and I took notice of their position when I returned. Thom was sitting beside Val and from my approach I could see that his hand was on her leg, just under her dress. He was clearly fondling the garter belt and she was letting him. It was under the table from his wife's view but from where I was it was obvious.
Coming with our drinks I sat across from the playful couple and, in fact, next to Thom's wife. Valerie flashed me a beaming smile and a wink. She knew I was aware of his actions and she was telling me she wanted it to continue. It was unmistakable. Valerie was again expanding her sexuality. She liked being noticed that way.
Val left for a bathroom break and I followed to talk to her. We needed to talk.
"Are you okay? I see you are getting quite a bit of attention from that 'other Thom' guy. Hell, your legs are the center of attention for the room."
"Tommy, I'm having so much fun with this. He's all over me but I'm getting something I haven't experienced before. I'm some kind of sex object and it's making me really hot."
"Let me play, Tom, let me have this fun. Remember, I let you screw Amy and it didn't do any harm to our marriage. I'm not going to fuck Thom but I love the attention and the touching. He's all hands and I like feeling desirable."
"You trumped me, babes. You can be as sexual as you like. Honestly, I'm bursting with pride with this spicy behavior. I keep getting hard-ons."
"You keep that thing hard, I'm going to need it later. Now look in my purse."
Val opened up her small bag and there were her white undies. She had taken them off while in the restroom.
"Wow! You are seriously nasty tonight."
"Yep. I want to feel those fingers on some bare butt. God, it's making me wet just thinking about it.
I gave her a quick squeeze and rubbed that smooth ass. "It's your butt. Have your fun, you're off the leash."
Something else happened out of my sight but Val filled me in later the next day:
Taking a cool-down break from dancing, Val and Thom went outside to an attached deck area on the other side of the building that was used by people to talk, drink, smoke, whatever.
As they stood at the rail he took it up a notch, maybe because he had become aware of her nude presentation. He wasn't just copping a feel like earlier. That was kind of a fondling of the garters and stocking tops.
This time he was caressing the back of her upper thigh and bare ass. She was getting what she wanted; she was being intimately felt-up in a semi-public place.
It didn't go any further in that few minutes of grab-assing and they heading back inside to our booth. At their arrival Thom's wife rose up and asked him to come with her. They were off for a time but he returned alone.
He announced to the table, "She is a little pissed at me and took the car. I'm stranded."
Val: "You don't have a ride home?"
