Note: This is another longer story with a fair amount of backstory.

"Hey Joles," I said into the mobile phone. She had called me. "What's up?"
"Hey, Lucas, I wanted to tell you that the Winston's are coming over for dinner tonight," she informed me. "Can you get home by five to help me a little? They're coming by at six."
"Um..." I hesitated. It was late March, perhaps my busiest - or at least most stressful - time of tax season. I checked my calendar and my work load. "Yeah, but I'll have to come in tomorrow for a while if I do."
"That's fine. I'm going shopping with my mom tomorrow anyway," Jolene informed me.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Yeah, I'll be home then."
"Okay, babe. Love you see you then." She hung up abruptly. I shook my head. Jolene was never one to linger on the phone, and I figured that she was pretty busy with preparing whatever meal she had planned anyway. I returned to my tasks and the hours flew by. Wisely I'd set an alarm on my phone, otherwise I would have missed my time to leave.
I got home at five, opening the door to a mouth-watering aroma. "Hey Jolene, I'm home!" I called out.
"I'm in the kitchen, love!" she called back. "I need some help!" Typically when Jolene makes a big supper, the kitchen is a pure disaster. When we're both together I am the one who does the dishes and keeps the chaos at a minimum. So when I got into the kitchen and saw the destruction of her two-plus hours of cooking, I rolled up my sleeves and just got to cleaning things up. I did give her a quick kiss before continuing.
We chatted amiably about the day and the night's menu. The Winstons were really nice people and we all four got along famously. I figured that it would be a relatively late night; they had three kids and when they got the opportunity to go out to socialize with adults they took full advantage of that. Jolene and Sarah Winston nee Carruthers had gone to college together and been in the same sorority, and had kept up after graduating. Tom was in sales, and was your typically robust, fun-loving guy. They were both good-looking people, and even after three kids Sarah's physique remained outstanding.
Where Jolene was the taller, thinner type Sarah was more voluptuous. She was not fat but sported thick heavy womanly curves. Jolene herself had commented once or twice that sometimes she wished she had a more voluptuous, hourglass shape like Sarah's. Tom and Sarah were also vivacious, and more often than not our conversations turned highly suggestive especially when we were deep into our third bottle of wine. Both Sarah and Tom made it seem like they were very sexually active with one another, quite a feat for parents of three children.
After the meal was in the oven, we ran to take quick showers. We then dressed and opened two bottles of wine, a white to chill and a red to breathe. The table was set and just about when we were all done with preparations the Winstons knocked on the door and the evening got underway.
For three hours we sat and gabbed, ate and slowly drank. It was obvious that after three bottles of wine - and now opening our fourth - that all four of us were showing some signs of intoxication. The conversation was a twisty one, full of laughter and discourses, and then somehow it got onto Facebook. That led to Sarah asking whether Jolene had seen that ad about the Valentine's Day sexy thing. That led to the admission that we had gone.
"What came of it?" Sarah wanted to know.
Jolene and I traded a quick look, flashing quick grins to each other. Jolene would walk the line, I knew, of regaling the Winstons with the bawdy results of that night's adventure without spilling the most important, private details. She did surprise me, though, later in the conversation, admitting that the bondage ropes purchased that night had been used with some growing frequency.
"Whhhatttt?" Sarah drawled, half-laughing, half-stunned. "Really? Is it fun? Is it hot? Should we do it?" she asked, the turning her attention to Tom and rubbing his arm. Tom was looking a little deeper into the wine than the rest of us, and sort of drunkenly grinned at her.
"Yeah, it's fun," Jolene said. "What was it, last weekend? Luke tied me up tight." Jolene winked suggestively. "Safe to say he had his way with me!"
"Oh my god really?" Sarah gawked. "It's hot, isn't it? Tommy, we should do that too!" she said.
Tommy slurred "sure" kind of sloppily.
"Tommy? Tom. Fuck, are you passing out? Tom!" Sarah barked.
It was too late. Tom's head fell down with his chin pressing to his chest, and a giant snore erupted from the man's mouth.
"Oh for fuck's sake," Sarah said in a twisted, strangled tone. "Just when it was getting good!" She shook her head sadly. "Sorry guys. He's been working so hard lately, I don't think he got to bed before one in the morning once this past week."
"It's okay," Jolene said, standing up. "How did you guys get here?" she asked.
"Uber," Sarah explained. She grabbed her mobile and called for a ride. We had a hell of a time getting him awake enough to get into the car. Sarah drove off, hugging us tightly and thanking us for the evening, apologizing for Tommy again. We waved it off; we'd both been there, we assured Sarah, and they were close enough friends that we didn't mind a bit. With that, both Jolene and I went to bed. We were a little drunker than we realized, and I think both passed out simultaneously.
Of course I woke with enough of hangover to make my Sunday at the office something close to utter misery. So I knocked off at one, and went home to nap. When I woke at three I did so to see Jolene sleeping soundly next to me, still in her clothes, the shopping bags strewn around the bed haphazardly. She woke about thirty minutes later, and then proceeded to show me all the things that she'd bought.
She was still in her bra and panties - the plain-jane sort she tended to wear on weekends - when the phone rang. "Oh, its Sarah," Jolene said and answered the phone. She wandered off to take the call in semi-privacy. I went out to flop on the couch, grabbed a controller, and called up a video game. Jolene returned about ten minutes later. "Sarah and Tom are coming over again. She's making him apologize," Jolene laughed. She flopped onto the bed next to me, grabbed the other controller, and we did some battle together just because we could and liked doing it.
It was all a very low-key visit. Tom, after apologizing to Jolene, came over and sat down next to me. We chatted about sports while vying to kill each other in the first-person shooter deathmatch. "So I guess something was discussed last night that has Sarah all fired up," Tom said after craning his head back to make sure Sarah wasn't within earshot. "Something about bondage?"
I chuckled. "Yeah, Jolene may have mentioned that we're getting into it a little bit. Why she said that I've no idea but Sarah seemed to jump at it."
"Ah, I see," Tom said. "Funny, we've - or rather she - has been wanting to get into that too. She's been watching too damn much Fifty Shades," Tom said with a note of exasperation.
"Just roll with it," I advised. "It can be fun."
"She ever tie you up?"
"Here and there," I admitted.
"Sexy?"
"As fuck."
"Hmmmm." Tom blasted me with a well-aimed head-shot. "Hah!" The game resumed a moment later. "You guys aren't into anything, like, weird or anything are you?" Tom asked next. "I mean, I don't know what Jolene's telling her!"
You mean me wearing panties and eating my own cum from my wife's pussy? My private thoughts were quashed. "No, nothing weird, I don't think anyway," I said.
"Humpf." Tom cursed when I got him. "Sarah has been complaining that our sex life isn't spicy enough lately," he said. "I'm hoping Jolene isn't over there filling her head with ideas!"
"Why worry about it?" I said narrowly avoiding Tom's would-be kill shot. "What the fuck, its just between the two of you. Not like anyone has to know."
