Author's Note: This is meant to be built as a series of adventures, and I will publish more depending on the feedback. They are intended as standalone chapters, but some things will carry on through all of the series.

My wife and I had been married for three years when she met me at the door after a long day at work and told me we needed to sit down and talk.
"What's up?" I asked.
My wife, always the more forward of the two of us, stated simply "I'm bored. Bored being up here in New York, bored with you being gone on training exercises, working 14 or 15 hour days. I miss all our friends from college, and the fun we used to have before we got married."
"Kat, hon, when we decided I'd enlist in the Army, you were the one who told me that we'd end up having to leave everyone, and you thought it was the best for us. What exactly is it you are thinking?"
"Dave, you know I love you, you are my world now, but I miss the freedom we had when we were dating. God we had some times. We never cared where we slept, or with whom. I miss the variety of everything."
I couldn't help but think back on all the times my wife and I had...
My wife and I met at a nightclub while I was in college 5 years before this. She had just turned 18, and had actually run away from home due to her abusive father. She had just moved in with friends in my college town, where her father had been stationed two years before, who she knew when she was a sophomore in high school.
On her first night back, her and her friends went out to the club I frequented. At that time, I was a college junior, and had gotten to know a group of people who were quite open about their own sexuality. Several of the guys were gay or bisexual, and the girls were all quite open about the fact that from time to time they liked each other almost as much as they liked the guys. It was not uncommon for us to end a night out clubbing and going our separate ways, with whomever wanted to tag along. Quite literally, with this group of friends, it was common to go home with someone different each time you went out.
I ran into Tish a few minutes after getting into the club. We were really the first of our group to get there, and Tish met me with a deep kiss as I got to her table. After a warm welcome, she turned around and introduced me to Kat.
Tish was a beautiful girl, 19 at the time, about five foot two, and was probably one of the wilder girls in our circle of friends. She had a fake id, so she was able to drink, and already had a couple of drinks on the table in front of her. We had spent several nights together in the past, and each night always left us both worn out and sore for a couple of days after.
"Kat," Tish said, "this is Dave, he's probably the third best lay in this town."
"The third best?" I replied, "I'm not even going to ask who numbers 1 and 2 are."
Kat looked at me as I looked her over. Kat wasn't a skinny girl, not what you'd call fat, but she had a heavier frame. She looked like she could handle herself in a fight though. Her clothes hid a lot, but I could tell she had smallish breasts and hips you could hold onto. She had dirty blonde hair, about shoulder length, and the look of someone already bored with things.
"It's nice to meet you," I said, offering her my hand.
As the evening progressed, more and more of our friends showed up, came by, talked, messed around a bit, and left. By the end of the night, it was myself, Tish, and Kat left to close down the bar. At closing time, I asked them what they were wanting to do.
"You know of any afterparties?" Tish asked.
"Not really, it seems everyone's going home tonight. I do have beer and I think a bottle of vodka at my place, and you know you're always welcome to come by anytime."
Tish looked at Kat, and they seemed to come to a decision. "Sure, let's go. Kat's sober and we need to celebrate her getting here."
So off we went, to my apartment. Typical of college apartments, I did have a roommate, but as luck would have it, my roommate was gone for the weekend, off visiting her boyfriend back home. When we got there, I went to the kitchen to mix a few screwdrivers, adding way more vodka than would taste good. I came out to find them sitting on the sofa talking and choosing some music.
I passed out the drinks, and we sat and talked for a while. Eventually they both started to feel the alcohol, and both started yawning. I offered them my bed and told them I'd sleep out on the sofa tonight so they would have room.
