I came home from work on a sunny Friday. "I'm home," I shouted and wasn't surprised when Julia's answer sounded like she was on the patio. I went to the fridge, grabbed a beer and took a swig.
"Want something to drink?" I asked.
"No, I'm good thanks."
I ditched my shirt and kicked off my shoes before sitting on the couch to peel off my socks. I noticed a newsletter lying on the coffee table. It was produced in an amateurish fashion and touted the local swingers club. I didn't know we had a local swingers club.
A quick perusal showed it was mostly a listing of dates and places for meetings and parties with a few announcements about new members and some departing couples. I looked at Julia on the patio. Prone on the chaise reading a magazine. Nude as usual, her plump ass seemed to smile a welcome to me.
I couldn't help wondering where she'd gotten the news-letter and why she'd left it for me to find. Was she drifting away from me? Had I done something wrong? Was I even supposed to see this thing? I took it with and joined her on the patio. I sat near her in one of the lawn chairs and tapped my thigh with the rolled newsletter.
"So, what are you reading?" I said.
She half turned to one side and showed me the cover of her magazine. It had a photo of a naked family group on a beach. "I picked up this naturist magazine today. It's really fascinating."
I waved the flyer in a vague gesture at the sky. "Subscribe to this too?"
Color rushed to her cheeks in an instant, then she smiled. "Oops. I thought I threw that away."
"Not happy with me anymore?"
"No. You're wonderful, Dan. I've just been curious...for a while now. You know, you hear all these things and you just wonder what it'd be like."
"Where do you hear those sorts of things?" I sipped my beer. She was going to say from Gina. Gina was nice enough, but basically a clown.
"I know you don't like Gina, but she and Roy play those sorts of games. She raves about how much fun it is. I'm just curious. In a fantasy sort of way."
"You got this from Gina? Figures. They ought to join a bondage club so Roy could spank her a good one." I wiped the sweat from the beer bottle on my pants' leg.
"How do you know he doesn't?" Julia giggled.
"I don't. Regardless, I usually keep my fantasies to myself. I don't leave them lying around where they could give you pause."
"You have fantasies?" Her grin was impish. I couldn't stop myself from grinning back. "Tell me all about them. Tell me right now."
My face grew even warmer than the sun. "Not right now. I'll think about it. Tell me why you're not happy with me."
"I'm happy with you. I love you. It's just a curiosity thing. Although, I did think maybe we could go to one of these naturist beaches and test run our feelings about being naked around people we don't know."
"Aren't those places just a cover for a bunch of fucking around with other people's wives?"
"No. Actually, there are some rather strict ethicsβ"
"Ethics for being naked in public?"
"Yes. Now let me finish. I was just reading how it's considered very rude to stare or show undo interest in other people. They don't allow any unsolicited photography either. The whole idea is to enjoy the freedom of nudity without a bunch of puritanical or sexual hang-ups."
"Where does the fucking your buddy's better half come in?" I sipped again.
She rolled fully onto her side and bent a knee. A single drop of sweat ran between her tits. "God, you're being a toad today. Did you have a bad day at work? Fucking doesn't come into it. Sexual contact isn't allowed in public. Actually, according to this article, a man having an erection in that setting is considered extremely rude."
I watched the trail the sweat left as it rolled out of sight under one of her boobs. "How does a guy, surrounded by naked women, not get a stiff one?" I was getting a little stiff talking about it.
Julia giggled again. I loved that sound. Musical and playful at the same time. "By thinking about mowing grass and changing engine oil instead of pussy and tits."
I had to chuckle. I held the newsletter up. "So, what's this?"
"That's fucking your buddy's spouse." Her lips grew tight and her eyes narrowed.
"And you have an interest in that?" A tremor crawled through my gut.
Julia's brow furrowed and she chewed on her lower lip. My heartbeat quickened. She was about to tell me something I didn't want to hear.
"I see you looking at other women from time to time. You're not blatant or lecherous about it, but you do it. I guess I look at guys sometimes too," she said. "I was thinking, maybe there's an itch there that wants to be scratched."
"We're married, we're not dead. Besides, I've never acted on it. Just looking doesn't hurt anyone. Scratching can be dangerous."
"True. There is that. I'm not suggesting we run out and join this or any group. I don't want to jump into bed with any of your friends or your brother either, no offense. I'm just researching it. You know, being curious."
I sat there staring at her brown eyes. They spoke to me, trying to console and reassure. I wasn't sure what to say or do. Sure, I'd given more than passing glances at pretty women from time to time, but I'd never done anything more than that. Had Julia? Was she left unsatisfied by my efforts in bed? Why was she curious about this?
"I trust you. You know? But I've never thought about these things. Not in these terms anyway. Jules, are you bored with me? Are you falling out of love with me?" I asked.
She dropped her magazine and came to me. She threw her arms around my shoulders and kissed me. "Of course not. I'll always love you. Obviously, this has made you upset. I'll get rid of this stuff and we'll forget all about it. Okay?"
I glanced at her heaving chest and the soft mounds of flesh there. I couldn't help myself, I squeezed one of them with gentle firm pressure. I shook my head. "Well, you need to get out of the sun before you burn. I'll think about all this, you know how I like to over-think the room."
