After dinner, Doris Blake sat on the sofa with a glass of burgundy wine and watched the evening news. Her husband Tom was at the driving range and her 18 year old daughter Tammy was out with her friends. The 37 year old blond was a stay at home mom; she was pleased with her life and didn't mind not entering the job market. Tom was a dentist and insisted that Doris did not have to work, although the credit card bills had been piling up lately and he urged her to cut down on her spending.
The telephone rang and Doris answered it and spoke to her friend Joyce, "Hi Joyce, what's up?"
Her friend excitedly told her, "There is a new reality show on tonight at 9pm. I read all about the show and it sounds wild. The show is called 'The Wife Game' and the wives have to live with other families for three months. Can you imagine living with another family and having a different husband for three months?"
"No I can't, that sounds crazy, why would anyone want to do that?"
"Well, to start with you get $100,000.00 for three months and a chance to win one million. You really get an opportunity to see how other people live and you get to sleep with another woman's husband."
"The only thing that is tempting me is the money. Tom is the only man that I have ever been with and besides, if I sleep with her husband then she will be sleeping with Tom, right?"
"Sounds like you both could use a little change; just think how exciting it would be. Watch the show and think it over, I will call you after the show, bye."
"Talk to you later, Joyce, I'll watch the show but please don't hold your breath while you are waiting for me to be on it, later babe." About 8:30 pm. Tom came home and Doris greeted him with a passionate kiss. Doris saw their reflection in the mirror and thought how good they looked together; he was 6' and she was 5'5", he had dark brown hair and brown eyes and she was a blue-eyed blond.
Doris told Tom about the show and he opened a beer and gave his wife another glass of wine and they settled down to watch the show. The MC asked the contestants questions and the couple that gave the most correct answers were rewarded by picking the couple that they wanted to exchange wives with. The wives would go to the other families home for three months. When Tom heard about the hundred-thousand and the opportunity to win a cool million, he suddenly became very interested and suggested, "Let's go on the show! This could be exciting and we could use the money."
"You must be insane! Do you really want me to sleep with another man? I know that I don't want you to sleep with another woman. I can't believe that you would even consider such a thing! You are joking, right?"
"No darling, I am serious, just think about the adventure and how much we can learn about other people, not to mention the money. Come on baby, don't be so close minded; open up and let's go for it." Tom answered the phone and told Joyce that he was ready to go on the show and then he put Doris on. Doris stated that she would think about it but doubted that she would do it.
The next day Doris was working in the garden when her lovely 18 year old daughter Tammy came home from school. Tammy joined her mom in the garden and asked if she watched the new TV show called 'The Wife Game', she said that everyone at school was talking about it. "Yes I watched it with your father and he wants us to go on the show but I think that it is stupid."
"Oh mom, please think about it; just imagine you and dad on the show, that would be so cool. I watched it with my friends and we all loved it. I wonder what kind of mother I would have for three months. Think of it as a learning experience and think about the new friends we could make. Please do it mom, it would be such fun."
After dinner Joyce came over and Joyce, Tammy, and Tom pressured Doris to call the show, noting that she could call anytime, day or night. Doris was tired of the constant urging and relented and agreed to call the show thinking that the chances were slim that they would be selected to go on the show anyway. She dialed the number, surrounded by the instigators and was shocked to hear that the show had an agent in the area and would be there to interview them within the hour.
The news brought applause from her friend and family. Doris felt butterflies in her stomach and wondered what she had gotten herself into. Fifty minutes later the doorbell chimed and Doris greeted two extremely attractive women and invited them in her home. They were both tall, close to 6', one was black and the other was a white woman with long, flowing red hair. The women wore business suits with short skirts and complimented Doris on her lovely home. After about forty-five minutes of questions and conversation, the black woman stood and excitedly exclaimed, "You are just perfect for our show, you are exactly what we are looking for. I will book you for a show next month; our people will be in touch with you and we will provide a limousine for your transportation. It was so nice meeting you."
Everyone was excited but Doris, she was stunned. Over the next three weeks Doris learned that the show was taped at different locations each week and all of the contestants lived in the same area. It eliminated cross country traveling and made it easier for couples that bonded and wanted to continue their new friendships.
The following Saturday night a limo picked up Doris and Tom and drove the nervous couple to the studio. They were escorted to the stage and were startled to see such a large audience. There were five other couples, one white, two black, and two Hispanic. Doris looked beautiful in her black gown but felt very insecure in front of the large crowd and did not do well with the questions. Before she realized what had happened the show was over and a black couple had won and chose her to be the wife for their family.
After the show the two families got to know each other backstage and Doris and Thelma, the black wife, were told that when they got home they were to pack a suitcase and would be taken to the others home. Doris was so nervous that her hands were shaking as she packed. Tom tried to settle her nerves and said, "Doris, this family seems very nice and it is only for three months so try to relax and don't worry so much."
"Relax! How can I relax when I am going to a strange house to live with and sleep with a strange man? They do seem nice but she is beautiful and I have to worry about you sleeping with this sexy, big bosomed woman! What if you like her better in bed than me? This whole thing is scary and I wish we had never gone on the show."
"I love you and you love me but the change will do us good. Don't confuse love with lust; no matter how great she is in bed, I will always love you. So enjoy yourself and we will be back together in three months and we will be out of debt." An hour later the limo dropped Thelma off and transported Doris to the home of Thelma and Leon Johnson.
Leon let Doris in the house and introduced her to his two sons. Lester was 22 and was studying to become a doctor and Trevor was 19 and was an outstanding football player at school and he was working hard to fulfill his dream of playing in the NFL.
Leon asked her if she would like a drink and the petrified woman accepted a scotch on the rocks. After several drinks Doris felt much more comfortable and learned that Leon owned his own sporting goods store. The boys went to bed and Leon and Doris drank and danced. Leon felt the blond tremble in his arms and said, "Please don't be afraid of me, I would never harm you or force you to do anything that you don't want to do. Please, let's try to make our stay together enjoyable."
Doris found her self liking this black man, he was not particularly handsome but he was not bad looking either. Leon was 5'10" tall and wore glasses, he was muscular and she felt secure in his arms. She looked him in the eye and stated, "Please be patient with me, I have never been with anyone but my husband and this all seems so strange to me, but it is not you at all. You are very nice and I like you very much."
"Don't feel bad Doris, I have been with others but that was before I married and I have been married for 23 years. So you see this is new to me also. We will just take it slow and enjoy each other's company. You are a very beautiful woman and I am fortunate just to be able to hold you in my arms."
Doris could feel her nipples stiffen as her 34C breasts rubbed against her dance partner. As their eyes met again, the slightly tipsy white woman told him, "You are so kind to say that but your wife is a knockout and I don't compare to her. She exudes sex, if I were into women I would go for her and I know Tom will be ecstatic to be with her, she is totally captivating. I only hope that he does not forget all about me."
