Chapter 14
Tessa & Danny
"Danny, I ran into Margie at the supermarket today and she all but ignored me after I told her we wouldn't be going to anymore parties."
"That's odd; you had mentioned what happened at the last one, didn't you?"
"Of course, and if you recall, that's the very same reason she grabbed Vince and made him leave the previous time. I was under the impression she'd found it intensely gross."
"Not so, huh?"
"Worse! She and Vince appear to be bound at the hip with the Lambert's."
"The Lambert's? They were all but asked to leave that party and now... now Vince and Margie are partying with them?"
"That's what she told me. And what's more she told me that as far as we're concerned, unless we change our minds and ask to come to one of the Lambert's parties, she won't have anything to do with us."
"Does that include Vince?"
"I don't know. You work together, maybe you should ask him."
"Yeah, I will."

The following evening over dinner, Danny confirmed that Margie and Vince had decided to cut off their friendship unless they were willing to attend the Lambert's parties.
"That's blackmail!" Tessa said, unable to accept that they'd been cut off by their long time friends, and lovers.
Tessa began to cry. Danny, trying to comfort his wife, suggested that they reconsider and attend one of the Lambert's parties.
"No way! He's a son-of-a-bitch and a deviate. If that's the way she wants it between us, so be it. We'll find another couple to be friends with."
Danny suddenly had the image of Stan Gronski's wife flash before his eyes. "You know, I've been meaning to ask you how you felt about Stan and his wife... I can't recall her name. We met them coming out of the movies about a month ago. You seemed to think they were all right. I mean, I know we only chatted for five minutes or so, but...."
"You're right. They did seem nice. Not that I'm physically attracted to him. Are you... to her, I mean?"
"Not especially. She looked nice enough... but I didn't want to jump her bones on the spot," he said sheepishly.
Tessa laughed. "I know you, Danny. If you think she attractive, you would jump her bones. But you have given me something to think about. You can talk with Stan about anything, maybe find out when they're going out and we might 'happen' to run into them."
"Okay, I'll get on it."
"You do that, and Danny, lover?"
"Yeah, babe?"
"Fuck Margie and Vince."
"Literally or figuratively?"
"No, I mean just fuck 'em as friends."
Marge & Vince
For Margie, the night at the Lambert's had been like a vivid dream, but she knew all too well that it was real... it had certainly happened. She had relished the smells... Milford's sweaty scent that remained in her mind, and the more tangible odor produced by the dried remnants of semen on the panties she'd worn that night and had been unable to throw in the washer, preferring to inhale his pungent odor several times a day.
She couldn't get his cock out of her mind, and this concerned her, for she was certain she still loved Vince, and Vince possessed a formidable penis that never failed to please her.
Vince was also bothered by his perceived need to possess Carol again. He hadn't felt this way about Tessa, although it had been Tessa that he coveted so much that he'd formed the alliance with Danny in order to have her. He told himself that Carol was different, but he was unable to differentiate just how she was different than his wife, or even Tessa.
Sunday morning Vince went off to play golf with Danny, leaving Margie alone with their daughter, Tabby. Margie was content to be by herself for a while, but was pleasantly surprised when Carol Lambert dropped by.
She was sprawled on one of Margie's kitchen chairs by the time Margie had closed the door and walked back up the hallway. Her eyebrows were raised at Carol's manner.
Margie handed Carol a cup of freshly made coffee, and asked bluntly, "To what do I owe the honor of your visit, Carol?"
"I wanted to discuss this Friday night's gathering."
"Oh, will it be more than Milford and you?"
"Oh yes, in fact, Milford has gone out of his way to make it a bigger party."
"I'm not sure I like that idea," Margie said sitting down next to Carol.
Carol nodded and took a sip of coffee. "Are you mad at us for expanding the number of people?"
"Honestly I'm not sure yet."
"You're thinking, 'I'm not a slut like Carol, how dare they treat me like one?' Am I right?"
Maggie laughed, and felt her body flush as she recalled all the things she'd done so willingly with Carol's husband that fateful night.
"Not exactly; I don't mind doing nearly everything with Milford. I wonder how I'll feel doing those things with other men. Men I have no knowledge of, and may never see again, or worse, who I might run into at an inopportune moment."
"All our guests are known to be respectful of others, especially under circumstances such as you just described."
"Really, and how is it enforced?"
"Are you familiar with the basic rules of BDSM?"
"I'd say no. I have an idea, but it's just that."
"Respect, permission, and choice; should you want to end a session, you simply say so, using the safe word. For the sake of this discussion let's just use Stop as our safe word."
"Stop," Margie said, enjoying the feel of the word rolling off her tongue.
"Precisely, Margie, say the word and everything stops. We don't throw anything goes parties; they're more like anything may go parties. Look, I've been shackled on hands and knees and sucking every cock in the room while being spanked and told what a nasty whore I am. It makes me feel good to let go occasionally."
"Should I be worried that that image didn't make me cringe?" Margie asked the concern evident on her face.
"I think you should know your limits. But how do you know what they are without some experimentation?"
"I thought your husband and I did quite a bit of... experimenting the other night."
"Perhaps you did, but you actually only skimmed the cream off the top."
"I've fooled around with other couples, you know."
"Yes, Don and Tessa, that's fine, but still somewhat limited. The more people you have intercourse with, the more knowledge acquired. It's that simple."
Carol finished her coffee while Margie's mind was trying to work out where her metaphors had been going, and took refuge in the fairly automatic process of refilling it.
