This is the fourth episode in my story series, The Emancipation of Genie Bright.
In the last part, Genie and Sheena discussed the idea of Genie going to a swingers meet-up that Sheena was part of before Genie followed her impulse to push the boundaries of their sexual liaison in Sheena's bedroom.
In this part, the boundaries are blown away as Genie goes to Sheena's swingers "meet-up" and has her sexual awareness broadened still further. One of the women at the party takes to Genie, and the appreciation is fully returned.
Thank you for reading. Comments are welcome.

A MONTH LATER
Genie stood in front of her mirror, naked, as she often did most mornings. Saturday, 9am and she is dry, post-shower and looking at her body and enjoying how much it seems to turn Sheena on. She was flicking her hair with the afro comb she used to tousle her curls into life every day. Her hair was getting a little longer than she'd usually have it but quite enjoyed being surrounded by her curls.
However she flicking it about a bit but then "I know what I'll do" she thought to herself and delved into the small box in the bottom of the wardrobe and produced a silver hair clip. She gathered up her long fringe and flicked it over her head and clipped it up.
For a fleeting moment, she saw the 20 year old Genie. That was the last time she'd worn her hair with the fringe flipped back on a regular basis. It reminded her of when Helen helped her through her problems with eating after her Mum passed away.
Despite no-one being there, she adjusted the clip to get it just right and mumbled out loud to herself.
"I need to reclaim this. I can't have something silly like this remind me of difficult times. Been there, done that. I like this "me"."
She was forever tying the back of her hair up when she was working on stuff but, for her full face to be on display. Well, it was a little like lifting a mask. Anyway, where she was going today, it might be a good job that she can get her hair out of the way. She started to rifle through her clothes for something appropriate.
In the few weeks since her and Sheena's night at the Feathers became one of the most complete sexual experiences of her life, they had reached an interesting point. Once, if not twice every week, and certainly one night every weekend, they would share a bed, at either of their flats.
Genie was processing where things were and came to the following conclusions
1) They were both adamant that there wasn't an "us" -- sex for sex's sake was the mantra. But was it? The last time they were together, they didn't have an orgasm between them. A Friday night after a busy week at work had seen them lounge on Genie's big sofa, kiss and strip each other and then go to bed to sleep. There was no disappointed party in that either. It was just that they were starting to feel happy just to "be together".
2) She couldn't help feeling that Sheena was beginning to display some attachment to her that, she admitted, was welcome but really didn't fit in with the "no "us"". They even walked through the local park openly holding hands. That's not a "no "us"" thing. No, definitely not, and,
3) Would it be the worst thing if this thing became an "us"? Would it? Isn't it a sign that they might have actually found the person they were looking for? But Genie was aware that she'd fallen into a chain of relationships before and some of them were absolutely classic rebounds because being "in something" was how she felt secure. But, now, like things were, with Sheena, for the first time, Genie was existing on her own, albeit with the help of a very sexual woman that demanded nothing more of her than being willing to share intimacy.
4) None of this, though, was about Sheena being a woman. Genie wasn't missing an erection as part of her sex life. Even "the Rumbler" hadn't made an appearance since they'd got together. No man was making her feel things the way Sheena had been.
Genie shook herself into action, packed a bag for the night as it would either end at Sheena's or, more likely, wherever they were going today.
Eventually, she put on a really nice, slightly unusual red one piece thing she'd bought a year or two before and never quite got round to wearing. It appealed to her because it was a zipped front to what looked like a short sleeve shirt joined to shorts and a tie belt.
Once on, Genie really liked it and actually couldn't understand why she'd not worn it before. But then, she'd not been in a position to use fully what this offered. Genie knew this would add a little frisson of excitement for Sheena, who had already begun an intimate relationship with Genie's breasts so she carefully did the zip up only enough to leave the chance of displaying some of her cleavage to Sheena.
Genie, as she was discovering, actually quite liked a little tease of her friend now and again, especially if it hinted at something sexual.
A sunny day, Genie strode down the road to meet Sheena at the Feathers for 10.30. The pub did a big continental brunch, so Sheena said, and she'd asked Genie to come early so they could spend the day together before where they were going for the evening.
Sheena sat at a table outside, dressed for the summer. Hot pants, a tight top with, Genie noted, no bra and heels. She had clearly, Genie thought, decided her legs should come out. Why not, they looked great.
"Hello, beautiful!" Genie planted a kiss on Sheena's lips then landed in the chair opposite her.
Genie took a moment, looked at Sheena, and noticed something.
"Sheena, where's the sex face?"
Sheena had really toned down the make-up from the first couple of times they'd been together. She was quite surprised to see Sheena look more natural.
"Oh, Genie, well...the "sex face" was a mask and I would normally have it on for the meet-ups too, But this is different for me, taking you there today. I know there's "no "us"" but it feels like we're going there together. They know we're sleeping together so, it's like..."
Genie completed her sentence "...like you're there with a partner, yes?"
Sheena nodded in a slightly sheepish way. Genie leaned in to her and waved to her to give Genie her hand. Genie had a realistic perspective.
"Sheen, it's OK to feel like that and I'm very happy we're there together today. It's not a massive life-long commitment we're declaring, is it. We're just saying that we like being with each other right now. Is that enough?"
Sheena squeezed her hand and looked a little relieved as she smiled. "That's it exactly, Genie. By the way, like the hair!"
"Oh, I only clipped it up to be out of my eyes."
"It's lovely to see your face, Genie."
Genie smiled at Sheena, pleased that she noticed.
"So, today, why so early, Sheen?"
"Well, we need to eat early and I thought that, with it being a nice day, we could spend it together and I could tell you a little about what to expect tonight."
Genie and Sheena were meeting Sheena's swinging friends...for a "meet-up", at one of the couple's houses.
"Well, let's order then!" Genie was excited to start getting into the detail of it. She knew Sheena had spoken to Lisa again and that they would be really excited to meet Genie and get to know her.
It was a "meet-up" so nudity and sex were on the menu but food wasn't. Sheena explained before their food came.
"So, there is very likely to be some bum play and sex tonight."
"OK, so that's why we're eating early?"
