It began as a book group, but turned into a HotWives club. They met every Tuesday to read books and talk about the stories. Many of the books were romance, sexy stories about women having affairs, taking hunky lovers, and exploring their sexuality, often naughty stories about women being seduced by virile men who wore no shirts and promised wild sex and lustful lives.
"Ever tried it?" one of the women asked the group.
"Tried what?" the group leader, Evelyn, asked.
"An affair," Julia said. "We keep reading about these hot affairs, but none of us knows what it's like."
"I have," said Tonya. The group turned to her in unison.
"You have?" the group said together.
"Does your husband know?" Carly asked.
"It was his idea," she said. "It is called HotWife. I fuck a man from work, then I describe it to my husband in lucid detail. He is a cuckold," she said. "You know what that is?" she asked the group. No one did. "It is where he wants me to have sex, but he just wants to watch or hear about it. Like the book we read last month, Hunter's Point by Katherine Paulson."
"The one where she would be bitchy to him and he liked it?" Suzanne asked.
"That is the one," Tonya said.
"I had a man at work ask me to dinner," Amanda announced to the group the next Tuesday.
"Does he only want dinner Wendy asked.
"I hope not," Amanda said.
"Does your husband know?" Suzanne asked.
"I certainly hope not," she said with a smile.
"You going to go,?" Elizabeth asked.
"I hope so," she said. "I hope I don't chicken out. I think I need the groups encouragement," she said.
"You tell us all about it?" Clara asked excitedly.
"I will leave out nothing," Amanda said, "if you really want to hear about it."
"Of course," Wendy said almost breathlessly. "It would be like one of our books," she said.
"Only true," Amanda said. "After we read Hunter's Point, I started flirting with him, imagining myself in the story, and when he asked me out, my panties got wet and I couldn't
wait to come and tell the group."
"Oh, I could never do that," Marilyn, a woman with three children and a lawyer husband, said.
"Oh, it's not so hard," Tonya said.
"Well, let's hope it is," Patricia joked, embarrassing herself with her bawdiness, turning shades of pink that brightened her cheeks and made it even more obvious how deliciously naughty she thought it all was. She kind of shrunk back into herself after her racy remark.
"I am telling you. More of you ladies should try a little "strange" once in awhile," Tonya said with a smile.
"Strange?" Marilyn asked.
"What guys call new pussy," Tonya said. "In our case it would be 'new cock,'" she said. "Unless you're into pussy. You know gay or bi."
"Bi?" Marilyn said.
"Going both ways," she said. "You really should get out more," she joked.
"Why don't we go out and see if we can get a little strange, then come back and tell the group all about it," Evelyn said.
"Like a book report?" Patricia said.
"Exactly," Evelyn said.
"Tonya can start," Marilyn said.
"Amanda might have a story by then," Tonya said with a smile. Amanda blushed. "Girl, don't chicken out," she said. "We expect a lurid tale of sex and seduction: with a lot of panting and passion, some purple prose, wet panties, and shared body fluids. Reread Hunter's Point. Get some "pointers." We will be expecting a report," she teased.
"Yeah, we will be expecting a passion report," Patricia said, coining a phrase.
"But I want you all to get out there and do your best for the group," Tonya said as if she was rallying the troops. "Put some spice in your lives for the sake of womanhood. You all got homework assignments," she said.
When they left that night each woman was thinking about the possibilities. Amanda was thinking about her dinner proposal that she hoped would turn into something more exciting. Marilyn was thinking about the man next door who had watched her a couple of times in her yard. Patricia was thinking about her husband's best friend who openly flirted with her at the company picnic. Wendy was thinking about her doctor who caused her to tremble when he examined her lady parts. Even Evelyn was thinking of the man who lived on the same floor who walked his dog each afternoon and walked by her window and consistently drew her attention.
When the next meeting came around, Amanda was late. Everyone had hoped to hear about a salacious affair that had bloomed and were disappointed she wasn't there. People looked at one another uneasily, as if the main attraction had not arrived.
"Do you think her husband found out," Marilyn asked.
"We don't even know if there was anything to find out," said Tonya. People nodded around the room, but still were disappointed that there was nothing to hear.
"Well, did anyone have anything develop this past week?" Evelyn asked, taking her place as leader of the group.
"I met with my beau this last week," Tonya said. People turned to look at her and repositioned themselves to listen. "We went to a small hotel near Monterey," she said. "We have been there before," she said, but most people seemed disappointed that they weren't going to hear about a new romance sprouting wings over the weekend.
"Did he ravish you, my dear?" Patricia asked.
"Of course, as always," Tonya said boastfully. "He wanted his usual oral tongue lashing," she added with a smile. "And he gave one, of course. He always does his best to satisfy me," she said.
"Tell how you two met," Evelyn said, taking the lead. However, as Tonya talked it was like talking about a book they'd already read an talked about. No one really seemed interested, but they seemed to be eager to find out about Amanda and her admirer.
Tonya told about her date, then she seemed to read the group and said she was more interested in hearing about Amanda as well. "Hey, guys. I am eager to hear how it went for the our girl," she said. "Mine is an old story, I know."
Just then the door opened and Amanda walked in. "Okay," Tonya said, "Tell us, how did it go?"
Amanda blushed, not being used to having the center of attention. "It was, well, it was more than dinner," she said, embarrassed by the spotlight. "We... ah, well, we did it," she said. "I guess I am officially a loose woman."
"Tell us. Where did it happen?" Patricia asked.
"In the storeroom," she said turning red.
"Were you on your feet?" Marilyn asked.
"How did you know?" she said.
"Because I have read enough romance novels to know there is nowhere to lie down in a damn storeroom," she said.
