Chapter 3
A couple of weeks later I sat at my desk doodling on a pad of paper on a Monday evening. I'd made a crude sketch of our condominium building, and colored in four of the units: 1403, 503, 701, and 802.
Amber stood beside me stroking my neck, "Thinking of having a party?"
I glanced up at her and gave her lascivious grin, "Yes, a little sex party. Want to come?"
"No, but I'll cum and cum and cum anytime you want me to," she teased and waggled her ass in my direction.
I chuckled at our play on words. "Who do you know in the condo that you'd like to have be part of our little consortium of sexy people?"
Amber thought, "There are two other couples at least: Sean and Crystal Meyers in 1003, and John and Alice Ames in 402. I've had conversations with each of them at the mailboxes, and they are nice people, outgoing, and I find each of them sexy. What about you?"
"I like your picks, plus I'd add Travis and Erin Moore in 601 to the mix. Like you, I've had occasion to talk to them. I see Trav all the time because he's walking their two dogs four times a day and our paths cross many times. We always stop and have a word with one another. Of course, I've said nothing about our extra-curricular activities."
Amber said, "If we invite six new people, nothing will happen. I think we need to bring in one couple at a time; that's the way it's worked out so far."
"Then let's party and invite Sean and Crystal. In the early evening, I'll tip off Sean about what the evening will turn into, and you, Jess, or one of the other women could talk to Crystal."
"What if we talked to them before the party, like the day before?"
I thought for a long time, staring at my little pencil sketch. Finally, I said, "Maybe that's a better idea. Let's see if we can arrange to bump into them at the end of the day. In the meanwhile, I'll email the others."
Tuesday after work, I stood near the mailboxes thumbing through a catalog that had arrived. This was about the right time of day when I'd see Sean pickup his mail.
Fifteen minutes later, he appeared like clockwork. He had just returned from his dog walking duty.
"Sean, good to see you again. I have a question for you."
He grinned and shook my hand before opening his mailbox and pulling out a handful of mail. "Shoot," he said, indicating a willingness to respond.
"Amber and I are having a little party on Saturday evening, and we were hoping that you and Crystal would join us. Besides us, there'll be Ryan and Megan from 802, Tyler and Kelsey from 701, and Chris and Jessica from 503. We're all vital people in the same age range."
"That sounds great. I'm pretty sure we have nothing on for that night, but let me make sure with the social secretary." I smiled acknowledging that Sean had reached that magical stage in a marriage where the male never accepted a social engagement without checking with the female.
I moved our conversation out onto the thin ice. "Errr, there's something you should know about our party."
Sean looked at me as though he'd just discovered I was a unicorn. "What?"
"We are very friendly with each other – very," I emphasized.
Sean's eyebrows rotated almost to the ceiling. "You mean ... you ..." He was at a loss for further words to describe what he'd imputed, and I was sure he'd made the leap correctly. He was groping for a word that wouldn't get him in trouble for being too presumptive.
I rescued him; "We are intimate with each other, yes. Amber and I think a lot about you two, and hope that you might join us on that basis. If not, we certainly understand, and we'll look for other opportunities to socialize where ... erotic activity ... is not on the menu."
Sean watched me for a second.
I went on, "We are a heterosexual group. A few of the women are bisexual, but not the guys. What you might think would be embarrassing situations are anything but. We are relaxed and have fun with each other. Our times together with our friends are actually quite loving and romantic. No one is crude or rude or rough.
"Everyone's marriage is strong, and I can certainly speak for our own, namely that Amber and I have gotten closer and become romantic and highly sexual again. We rarely miss an opportunity to enjoy the carnal side of our marriage since this started."
Sean nodded in understanding. "Neither of us would come alone, but I really will need to talk to Crystal about this. Tell me a little more about your party – activities, dress, and so on."
I smiled. I could see Sean was onboard with the idea. He'd be selling it to Crystal.
I started, "Well, we start about seven o'clock with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Each couple brings some kind of dish too, and we provide the main entrée, and I think this coming Saturday Amber and I will be cooking up kind of a salmon dish. We stand or sit around and talk, this time of year we use the balcony to watch the sunset, and then we eat buffet style sitting around the living room or balcony. There's a clean up routine that goes quickly with so many hands, and then there's some informal and random pairing. People get a little touchy-feely and kissy-huggy, and things escalate pretty quickly from there. Sometimes we dance to facilitate the coupling. Like most of the units we have three bedrooms available, but often we stay together in sight of one another. It's very erotic to watch your spouse with someone else. We keep going until we can't go any more." I laughed at my closing comment.
Sean nodded, "When you're all together making it with others, where are you?"
"Usually in the living room. Once we were in Tyler and Kelsey's large bed. In our living room, we put down some duvets and things on the carpet so it's more comfortable. We have thick pile rugs, so even without the covers there's cushion and people don't mind."
Sean asked, "How many rounds?"
