Neither Dawn nor I could summon up the energy to cook that evening and so we sent out for a pizza, not that Ros or Eddie minded, because they, like us, were hungry but still worn out from our afternoon of sexy fun.
The whole afternoon had gone so much better than I expected, lighthearted and all good uninhibited fun, with each couple having the chance to watch the other making love. I'd never expected to feel confident enough to let that happen, but it did, and I found it a real turn on. Not only that, but I'd fulfilled my long held fantasy of having one woman playing with my balls at the same time as I fucked another. In this case it was Eddie's partner, Ros, who had played with me while I fucked Dawn. You can have no idea how good that felt, and what was better Dawn didn't mind, even when Ros's fingers 'accidentally' touched her pussy.
We hadn't bothered getting dressed again, we'd lounged around naked for the rest of the afternoon and only just thrown on bathrobes whilst we ate, and that in itself was a tacit admission that we hadn't finished yet. I think all of us knew in our hearts that things were likely to go much further after dinner. We just hadn't said so yet.
Dawn had made a salad in readiness for this evening, intending to cook something to go with it when we'd found out our guests tastes. So, with the salad, a takeaway pizza wasn't quite as unexciting as it sounds and our meal was actually very enjoyable.
After we'd eaten we all dropped back onto the lounge suite to drink coffee and let the food settle, all of us staring thoughtfully from time to time at the square of carpet before us where we had all performed earlier that day.
Now that we were at ease with each other our conversation became both animated and uninhibited, filling in many of the gaps in our knowledge of each other, until we knew each other as friends as well as mutual voyeurs. Still clothed only in bathrobes we sat and chatted into the early part of the evening, polishing off a few more beers and a bottle of wine between us. I was more than happy with the way the day had gone so far, but I wanted to be sure they felt that way too.
"Are you glad you came?"
My question was addressed to Eddie, but it was Ros who answered.
"Yes." She told me promptly, and then broke into a smile. "In both senses of the word." Then, after a momentary pause. "Can we come again?"
"Yes." I told her, straight faced. "But you'll have to go home sooner or later."
The half a second it took for the others to get the pun seemed endless, but then everyone giggled and guffawed and I knew for sure we hadn't finished yet.
The change in direction of conversation gave me the opportunity to ask something else.
"Do you like women as well as men?" I asked Ros.
I was referring to a couple of times earlier when she had touched Dawn, and clearly not by accident.
"Not really." She answered. "But today seems to be one of those days for pushing the boundaries, if you know what I mean?"
I knew exactly what she meant; Dawn had hinted that she too wanted to extend our experience. Now, I thought, was the time to test the water, and with an unexpected adrenalin rush I asked the question, the one that I think we all wanted to ask if only we dared.
"Does pushing the boundaries include changing partners?"
I heard Dawn gasp but I resisted the temptation to look at her, keeping my eyes firmly on Ros's face. Ros glanced quickly at Eddie before looking down as she thought of her answer.
"You don't mean Dawn and I and you and Eddie, do you?"
That was a permutation I'd not thought of, but I could see why she asked it after I'd wanted know if she liked women. My answer came out in a bit of an embarrassed rush.
"God no! I mean Eddie and Dawn, and you and I, not the other way about, I mean not me with Eddie."
I heard Dawn giggle at my discomfiture and even Ros smiled at it.
"That's all right then." At last she raised her eyes to meet mine. "I'd like that, but only if everyone is cool with it, totally cool."
"I am if we can watch each other." Eddie put in matter-of-factly. He was a man of few words, but what he said he meant.
"So am I, especially with the fact that we'll all be doing it." Dawn had hit the jealousy nail on the head.
"And I've just got one condition." Everyone's head swung around to me.
"Let's do it on the bed." I told them lifting my arms to show off my elbows. "I've got wicked carpet burns from this afternoon, and on my knees."
"Ah, poor you." Dawn sympathized smilingly as she stood up. "Come on then, let's go upstairs."
"Dawn!" I called to her as she headed for the stairs. She stopped and turned around, looking slightly anxious.
Dawn has a leaning towards submissiveness and she loves to be told what to do. I knew how I could make her even hornier.
"Dawn. When you go upstairs you are to do anything that Eddie wishes you to. Do you understand?"
"Of course. Anything he wishes." Dawn replied unhesitatingly.
Both Eddie and Ros stared, their eyes going from me to a happily smiling Dawn.
"Dawn likes to know where she stands." I told them. "Don't you Dawn?"
She nodded, grinning at bewilderment on the other's faces.
"Well, so long as it's alright with everyone." Ros remarked, shrugging both mentally and actually. "Then let's get going."
And it was as easy as that, though I must admit that my heart was pounding as I climbed those stairs. Here I was, a man who had so recently been nervous of intimate contact, and certainly incapable of initiating sex, now about to make love to a strange woman while her partner fucked mine. What journey I'd traveled. Now my only concern was enjoying and satisfying Ros without making either Eddie or Dawn resentful. I knew I wouldn't be jealous, but I couldn't answer for the others.
When we got upstairs things seemed to immediately fall into place. It was as if we had reached the point where we no longer had to ask and discuss what to do next, we acted instinctively. As soon as we reached the bedroom we pulled the duvet and pillows from the bed, leaving the sheet covered mattress as a bare platform for sex, and then went without automatically to stand before our temporary partners, ready to begin. I remember thinking how strangely ordinary it felt, as if swapping partners was a normal part of life, something we did every other day.
I also remember looking into Ros's lovely blue eyes, wondering for a moment what thoughts were passing through her mind, wondering if she really fancied me, or just fancied a different cock. For me it was both, I wanted to experiment and Ros was a lovely woman. I was looking forward to this and I just hoped she was too.
As for Dawn, she was already making the first move, pulling at the cord of Eddie's bathrobe before pushing it open and gazing down at his erect cock. It was fairly obvious what she wanted.
Ros smiled at me, a little shyly but very sexily, and reached for my cord too.
