There was a week left until October half term and I collapsed heavily into my chair at the end of another long week. This half term, at eight weeks, was always the longest and one of the most tiring. This week had felt particularly long due to lesson observations and a visit from the local authority.
As I took a minute to relax, before I finished marking the afternoon's work, Holly popped her head round the adjoining door between our rooms. "Has Nat spoken to you yet?"
"No," I responded. "Didn't know she was looking for me. Any idea what she wants?"
Holly grinned as she stepped into the room. I took a moment to appreciate her lithe, athletic body, slimmer more recently as she'd joined a gym after a recent break up. Her skin-tight leggings showed off her toned thighs, and she'd removed her jacket now the children had left, revealing a white gym top which pushed up her B-cups. She'd always been hot, and I'd enjoyed her body intimately several times before, particularly in an extremely pleasurable week during the Covid-19 lockdown where we'd fucked repeatedly, including a threesome with my wonderful wife, Erica. I returned my gaze to her face as she replied. "I do, but I'll let her tell you about it. I think she's got a proposal that'll be right up your street," she chuckled, before my eyes were drawn to her pert arse, framed beautifully by her leggings, as she turned and exited again. I did love when it was her class' PE day!
Mind afire with possibilities - all sexual, as Holly's suggestion that whatever Natalie wanted would be right up my street definitely suggested my cock would be involved - I grabbed the books and tried to focus on the marking I wanted to finish before I left, and waited for Nat to come down and speak to me. Luckily, I only had a few books left to do, so it didn't take long despite my mind being somewhat distracted, and when she arrived, closing the door behind her (which I took to be a good sign!), I only had two books left to mark.
"Hey. I believe you have a proposition for me."
I spoke before she did and she smiled. " I knew Holly wouldn't be able to keep quiet. How much did she tell you?" she asked with a grin. Holly and Nat had become best friends over the years working together and my thoughts couldn't help slipping back to the time I'd spent the night at hers with her and Holly, again during the crazy week during lockdown.
I was enjoying resting my eyes on her ample chest, suitably covered for work of course by a red dress, but the standout feature of her shapely body. Nat had a more curvy build than Holly, but was still fit and slim, with her arse and thighs just as toned and pert. Smiling, I looked back to her face as I responded. "Nothing, actually. She only said you had a proposal she thought I'd like."
Nat grinned. "Well, I think she's right. You know my new fella?"
I nodded. "Not really, but you've obviously mentioned him a few times."
"Yeah. Well, he's been invited to a Hallowe'en party on the Friday night of half term."
I nodded my understanding as she continued.
"He's allowed to bring guests, so obviously I'm going, and Holly is going to come too. We wondered if you and Erica might fancy it."
"Erm. Yeah, maybe." I was a little surprised. This was a much tamer proposition than I'd imagined. "I mean, we're not massive on Hallowe'en really but I suppose a party might be fun. I'll see what Erica thinks." Internally I thought it might be something Erica might be up for, but during school holidays we usually focused on spending time with the kids, so a bit of a party with people we mostly wouldn't know didn't really sound like it'd tempt her all that much, although I did consider that we might be able to make the most of Holly and Nat being there with us.
Nat laughed as she sensed my lack of enthusiasm. "I think maybe I didn't quite get the idea across... I'm not talking about just a standard Hallowe'en costume party, it's a costume masquerade ball... an adult, costume masquerade ball," she expounded, emphasizing the word "adult."
I sat silently for a minute, thinking, although I could feel an unstoppable smile cross my lips. An orgy. Erica and I had fucked lots of women together, and Erica had encouraged me to fuck many more on my own, but we'd always known them, always been comfortable with inviting them into our open relationship.
An orgy would be different. It meant people we didn't know. People who might not be the sort of people we'd want to pleasure.
We'd discussed orgies before, of course. Anyone with our kind of relationship could hardly completely avoid at least considering the idea. We'd always left the discussion about finding an orgy to join as a hypothetical one, deciding that if the opportunity came up we'd discuss it properly, but that we wouldn't actively seek one out.
Perhaps surprisingly, it was Erica who was probably more reticent about the idea. I was very grateful for my wife's attitude to sex. and the fact she encouraged me to sleep with other women, as well as enjoyed seducing other women herself for us to fuck together, but I had offered many times for her to be with other men as well. She had always refused, extolling that she'd rather have a new woman between her legs than a new man. An orgy, we assumed, would be a free for all, and Erica's biggest concern was that she wouldn't have a choice on who entered her. A reasonable concern, to be fair. It'd be a different proposition for me, entering whoever I wanted, than for her not knowing whose cock was inside her.
"I'll put it to Erica," I agreed, as Nat raised an eyebrow quizzically at my lengthy hesitation.
If anything, this raised her eyebrows further. "I honestly thought you'd jump at this!"
I explained Erica's previous reluctance and Natalie agreed that it'd have to be Erica's choice, although I agreed to try to persuade my wife.
"I'll be honest, Nat, I'm surprised this is something you've gone for."
"Oh you'd be surprised what I'm into nowadays!" she chuckled. "Ever since that night with you and Holly, and finding out about how your relationship works, I've tried a lot of new things." She paused. "In fairness, this will be my first time at anything like this. I think the fact it's a masquerade, and anonymous, kind of makes it easier. " She grinned. "Holly took less persuading than you!"
I laughed. "I could tell she was excited before. Anyway, I'll head home now and I'll discuss it with Erica over the weekend."

"I dunno. We've always leaned against the idea haven't we?" Erica had responded as expected, intrigued by the idea, but unsure.
