COFFEE WITH JANE
Preface
I have read many stories about first time swingers. All seem to neglect the anxieties of the woman who all seem to come around to the idea and then don't worry about anything after that point.
I wanted a story where the female was anxious but willing to make strides to get a meet. I also wanted my female character once committed to the idea to be freaked out at times by the consequences of their decision and when it finally came to committing to the act of actually getting naked in front of another woman and her husband and performing sex acts in their presence and her husband's that she would not necessarily be blasΓ© but actually frightened or anxious by what was happening, but on the other hand very very aroused.
The structure of the story is very simple, Jane followed by Sue followed by Jane.... For this reason there is very little "Said Jane" in the sentence structure. I hope its not too hard to follow.
It has been a learning curve for me and made me appreciate the skills of the "Real" authors of novels and factual books much more.
Now let's meet Sue and her best friend Jane.

Introduction
"Although a little younger, Jane has been my only non family friend for many years. We worked together in our town at a local factory but when that closed me, Jane and Mark, my husband had to look further afield for jobs."
This meant in affect that over the years we became effectively strangers in our own town.
Every Thursday morning I would have coffee with Jane and it became our ritual where we chatted and generally let out our frustrations and worries to each other.
At 44 and with at least 2 stone added on over the years my confidence was not what it used to be. Because of my poor self image I started to see my self as unattractive. This had a knock on effect that I started to believe that Mark also found me unattractive. I became reluctant to be naked in front of him and this effected our sex life badly. Prior to this of course we had a kids at home so we had to be cautious, but now with an empty nest and our freedom from children, it seemed cruel that my mental state was effecting the potential we could have realised.
However one drunken night we came home and my worries were suspended by the drink. While making quite passionate love Mark said to me "Imagine if there was another man here, just think what he could be doing to you." I laughed but he continued "He could have sloppy seconds straight after me, then you wouldn't stop coming for ages." About that time I had a massive orgasm and moments later so did he. It wasn't long before Mark was fast asleep, but as his spunk trickled from my fanny I lay there thinking about what he had said.
The Story

During the next Thursday morning chat I asked Jane "Jane have you and John ever fantasised about other people in bed?"
"What like Tom Cruise?"
"No, like another man and john and you"
"Not that i would admit to John." She said, "but I suppose everyone has fantasies inside their head."
"Why do you ask that?" she said.
"No reason, just mark being a prat the other night"
"Ah a man thing then..."
"Yeh something like that" I said.
"Another coffee?" I said to break the thread of the conversation.
"Yes please, and then I really must get home, were doing a stew for tea tonight and I'll never get it cooked in time otherwise."

"Hi Jane, How are you?" Sue asked as Jane arrived for our weekly coffee and chat.
"I'm OK thanks Sue."
"Coffee?"
"The usual, two sugars." She said shrugging off her coat and hanging it in the hall.
"I see that cake shop in the high street has shut." Jane said as she came into the kitchen and took her usual chair.
"Soon we will all be on line only if this carries on."
"Can you imagine buying a pint of milk from Amazon?" Jane laughed.
"It's ridiculous"
"Biscuit?"
"Yes please but just three, I've been pigging out this last week. I'm due on and it's always the same"
"I think we are both going to not be doing periods in the next few years"
"Oh and the hot flushes and dry skin to look forward to."
We both took a drink from our coffee.
"Jane, how long have you known me?"
"Oh my god, you're going to tell me some horrendous news like you are dying aren't you."
"Not quite Jane"
"So what have you got to tell me, only something serious when you start a conversation like that"
"Its Mark."
"Oh my god how long has he got?"
"It's nothing like that."
"Well?"
"Mark has asked me if I would think about us becoming swingers."
"Fuck Sue, are you going to divorce him?"
"No I'm not"
"But you're not going to say yes are you?"
"Well I haven't said no"
"What did he say it involved?"
"Because we don't know anyone and we have no social life he suggested that we do this to meet people and basically get a new life now the kids have gone."
"But these people you meet you have sex with."
"Well yes."
"Is that what you want?"
"Well, Mark was the only man I've slept with, and now I'm a bit curious as to what I might have missed out on in my teens."
"My god Sue, I never realised you didn't love Mark anymore."
"No that's not it. I've never stopped loving him, and him me"
"So how can you consider letting him fuck another woman?"
"Well technically we would be both there doing it."
"What? Like an orgy."
"Yes. Mark says that we won't do it unless we're together. He wouldn't want me to be at risk on my own."
"Well if John asked me I would kick him out."
"That's what I thought but it's different when you're actually asked."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I think I'm going to agree to do it."
"What? How could you?"
"It scares the hell out of me but at the same time it's the most excited and alive I've felt for as long as I can remember. Our sex life has been manic since he asked me."
"Well I can't remember the last time John and I did anything adventurous in the bedroom."
"Well there you go Jane. Perhaps you should suggest it to John."
"No I couldn't, and John would never go for it anyway.
"Yes it's a big jump to take and I haven't even said yes or no to Mark yet."
"Say no, it's too risky for your marriage.........Have you got another biscuit?"
"Yes of course."
"God knows what I'm cooking tonight. I can't decide anything from day to day.

"Hi Jane, how are you?"
"I'm ok thanks Sue. This bloody weather just never let's up" She said as she took off her Mac and collapsed her umbrella.
"Coffee?"
"Yes please, two sugars."
"Biscuit?"
"Yes, I came on two days ago and I need all the sweet things I can get."
"I have Jaffa Cakes"
"Just what I need."
"Here.." I handed her a steaming coffee and a plate of Jaffa Cakes.
