Meanwhile in Baltimore

Back at the office in Baltimore there were one or two events of note that might have future consequences.

Mark often left the office later knowing he might catch Monica in the parking lot, against her original principles she was finding it exciting and began to dress with a meeting in mind. On this particular day, Mark caught up with her as she was bending to place her bag on the back seat, she had accidentally on purpose left her panties off when she last visited the ladies room and was giving him a tempting flash as he arrived behind her. They didn't delay, his shaft was out almost before he arrived, taking hold of her hips, and sliding into her as she waited with anticipation. They fucked like dogs on heat, racing to a climax that had been anticipated for hours. They were totally absorbed and didn't notice another car coming into the car park driven by Mark's wife, this time she could not kid herself.

*********************************************************************************************

Sarah, Michaels estranged wife, had become obsessed by his relationship with Aleesha, he was living temporarily at Janes house with his girls and Sarah arrived almost nightly to try and interrupt any visit by Aleesha. On this particular evening Michael finally lost it when she interrupted for the third consecutive night.

"How's Mark?" he asked her.

"Mark?" she played dumb.

"You know, the guy you were having an affair with, married with one son, lovely family I understand."

"What are you getting at Michael?"

"I'm reminding you that my new relationship resulted from what you did, not me, it's a consequence."

"So?"

"I'm not going to let you wreck my new relationship, I'd like you two to get along and I want you in our children's lives so it means we have to blur the edges but I don't get what you want or expect."

"I want a chance to get you back, I know I've done wrong, hurt you badly and don't deserve a second chance but I want a chance even if its own a minute one."

Michael is not quite ready for this, he had her motive as wanting to be spiteful because she lost Mark.

"And when Mark comes back into your life?"

"He won't and I won't."

"How can you know that?"

"Because it was a thing of the moment, it shouldn't have happened and wouldn't have, were it not for fate."

"That does not wipe away how you treated me, the day of my surprise visit will always live with me."

He thought for a minute, the most important person was Aleesha and he had to make sure she knew what Sarah was saying and doing. "I need to speak to Aleesha and then I think we'll need to discuss this all together, I am very fond of her."

Sarah dared do nothing but nod her acceptance.

***********************************************************************************************

Nathan sent Bree regular messages asking how her holiday was going and she smiled as each arrived, but she couldn't get excited.

***********************************************************************************************

Back at the Resort

The Ladies at the Lodge had in mind to celebrate their pregnancies before their vacation ended. During the afternoon on the beach, they were discussing who to include in their event. They decided to make it late in the day but leave it until an evening when there is no other event on. They will ask the steward what he can lay on for food and drink, and maybe a local band.

***********************************************************************************************

Ana

A day or two on, we are again watching volley ball but some of our own ladies are taking part; Jane and Bree are doing particularly well. This time David is helping out with the organisation, making sure our teams have all they need. After an hour or so, Jane and Bree are unbeaten and there is a break. I notice David is scanning the crowd, he comes up to me to say that Olivia isn't there and he asks me to check on her as he has a mixed game coming up. I didn't have to look far as Olivia is in the Hotel lounge chatting to a group of people, Olivia is tucked between husband and wife of one of the couples and I try not to give the impression that I am looking for her so go to the bar to order drinks for our group outside.

A couple standing at the bar speak to me while I am waiting. They seem friendly and we open conversation with the usual chat about when we arrived and who we were with, my home situation as usual immediately catches their interest. I catch the barman's eye and he says they will take the drinks out. My new acquaintances encourage me to further the conversation so I decide to stay with them. It's the usual thing to start with but they are an attractive couple so I stay with it whilst trying to work out what they are about. Eventually the wife tells me that there are rumours about a swap party that is on the hotel agenda and people are deciding whether they want to take part. She relates how she heard that there are some who have swapped before and are relating their previous experience. From a distance I would guess that the couple who are sitting with Olivia are hinting that they are in favour, strangely they don't look like Olivia's usual type. The man is swarthy, dark skinned, broad and the wife is his opposite, tall and slim, pale, Scandinavian type; neither has the young look that Olivia likes. What does come across is that they are pushy, which is also not Olivia's style.

Scanning the group, I find it made up of mixed couples, a variety of ages and types. The couple I am with Roger and June are more Olivia's type but we are out of her verbal communication range. Roger is tall, perhaps mid-twenties, fair haired and fit looking, not quite up to David's appeal but definitely Olivia's type. His wife is short, perhaps only five feet tall and curvy, attractive, definitely our type I thought. Back in the day, both of us would be happy to play with them. There are other attractive couples coming and going, some who are just typical wealthy men with younger attractive wives who appear to be full of energy and adventure, their husbands are probably allowing them freedoms they might not have at home. I can see Olivia is casting looks our way and at first I wonder if she is cross because I am here or anxious because I am chatting to a couple she is interested in. I suspect the latter because it isn't long before Olivia joins us.

***********************************************************************************************

Olivia

Volleyball is not my thing but I was sitting amongst the crowd cheering our ladies on when I was joined by people whom I met last time. The men wanted me to join them at the pool but I couldn't leave the others so soon, I promised to join them after the games. Then sometime later I was invited for coffee with a couple and felt I could take a break, so I let Jane know that I'd either be in the Lounge or by the pool. Then I followed them to the Hotel Lounge, where the couple introduced me to a group already there. The crowd were close to the bar, some around a table but most standing, it seemed to be an organised arrangement. It took me a while to work out what was going on as people came and went. But I found the discussion on partner swapping interesting, particularly the stories from those that had tried swapping before and eventually realised that the Hotel had arranged an informal meet. My friends weren't on my typical appeal rating but they were interesting and time passed enjoyably as other people circulated. Then I spotted a couple that I really liked the look of, he's tall and she's short by comparison. I looked directly in their direction but they didn't respond to me.

Then someone they were talking to turned to face me, it was Ana, no wonder they weren't looking at anyone else, I wondered if she was checking up on me, something that gave me mixed feelings and made part of me feel rebellious. She didn't come close, so I couldn't be sure, she was certainly getting very friendly with the couple. After a while I turned to my friends and told them I was going to circulate, they didn't seem totally happy but I persisted and headed off in a roundabout route to visit Ana and the couple. As I greeted Ana she gave me such a welcoming and knowing smile that it was like old days, the couple didn't really stand a chance, we shared the look that said let's get them naked and smiled.

Of course that's not what happened, Ruth came in to tell us that Jane and Bree where in the ladies final and David was in the mixed semi's with Jo. The couple needed to stay where they were so we invited them to our celebration; a good reason to exchange information. "We might even be at the pool after the Volleyball," I mentioned as a throwaway, getting a raised eyebrow from Ana, but I had already decided to take her with me if I want to go.

Our teams were doing very well and both finished up winners so of course there had to be a celebration. Ana and I didn't have long to go to the pool but something in me wanted to keep things boiling with the men and the couple if they were there, Ana didn't look so happy that we were leaving our group. When we arrived there were about 8 men in the pool playing water polo very competitively with a few women in a group chatting more than watching. So the men didn't notice us at first and Ana became fidgety, she didn't want to let our own people down. After a few minutes though, the men that I chatted to before, including the two, Carl and Nat, who walked me back, became aware of us sitting close to the edge and called a break. They came over to speak to us and we noticed the wives paying attention. "Are you coming in?" Carl asked, giving me a complete once over. "Not now, we have a celebration going at our place, our teams both won the volley ball." The men looked impressed and I could see they were wondering why we were there, my sensible side was wondering that too. I decided to take my sensible viewpoint and said, "I told you I'd come but as things have changed it's just a flying visit, maybe we'll run into you another time." Their eyes strayed to look at Ana, so I asked her if she wanted to be introduced, she was interested but I could see that her duty to our group came first, so she declined. I wondered why I wasn't thinking that way until I looked back at the men and for the first time realised that they were all naked at which my demon went hyper.

I whispered to Ana, "Have you seen under the water?" Then I saw the battle go on inside her and had to admit my respect for her, back in the day she would have jumped in, today she turned and walked away. I was torn, it was almost impossible for me to over-ride my demon but Ana looked back at me with a look approaching disgust and the shock pulled me around. "See you around guys," I said and followed Ana away. 'It is early days,' my demon declared.

I caught up with Ana and for a moment we walked in silence then she said, "I can't believe I'm the one being sensible." I didn't reply, 'the true me was feeling extremely guilty again! And I didn't need her to tell me what a shitbag I was being.'

The others were already into their second drink when we arrived and we headed for the bar. I knew I shouldn't be drinking and surprisingly the real me kicked in on that, one would be enough I thought and then I noticed our group were already on soft drinks. David would be proud of them all and I decided to follow their lead, as did Ana. David came in then and I saw him look at us, Ana nodded at him and he smiled at us. I went across to him and asked outright, "are you checking up on us?"

"Just trying to make sure I get told if you get into a dangerous situation, I really don't want you to lose that baby."

I noticed that he hadn't mentioned anything about fidelity and something told me the demon didn't give a shit about anything once a sexual tryst was possible. I found it hard to respond, I knew what he was doing was for the best but my pride hurt.

"So what has your clever mind been up to today my lovely, did you get laid by all the guys in the pool?"

I had to admit he surprised me by that assessment and his eyebrow was raised expectantly. "Do I have to tell you here, how about upstairs?"

"Do you think you can distract me so that you don't have to tell me?" if his eyebrow could go any higher it would have disappeared under his hair.

I gave him one of my cute innocent smiles but he wasn't having any of it. In fact he said. "Now I'm really worried."

"I'm worried too, I don't want everyone to know."

.

"OK how about we step out into the garden?"

I nodded and we headed out the door, "I see your walking better," he said from behind me. "I'll have to see about that," he added.

I just smiled to myself and added a little more sway to my hips.

We walked just a little before he said, "I don't think they will hear now."

So I shocked myself telling him everything although I have to admit he made it easy, he sighed a lot but that was it really and when I finished he just said. "Okay sounds like ones not enough anymore, but you be careful with our baby."

That surprised me and my demon. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I asked you not to risk our baby."

"No before that."

"He thought for a moment "Ohh yes, it seems like me and lots of women are not enough for you anymore. What's your plan, I guess you are going to need me to know to torment me, so I might as well hear about it now"

I was unable to find the words to express what was going through my mind. I must have looked non-plussed because he asked, "Where you proposing to let all 8 men have you one after the other like you wanted to on the ship?" I was still speechless so he carried on turning the screw, "perhaps two at a time?"

"I believe they have a doctor on call from here, I'll arrange for you to have a check-up and I'll ask him about what you can and can't do while we are on holiday."

Now I was getting cross even though what he said was an obvious consideration, "How dare you?" I spat at him.

"I'm sorry, have I done something wrong?" He threw back at me.

We just stood there, me with hands on hips, him in his laid back couldn't care less pose.

Nothing passed between us, he just sighed again and turned and walked away.

Dinner came and went and I don't think anyone said more than two words to me, it just made me cross and my brain started to work out how I could get away. 'I'd told him the truth, what else did he want,' I thought.

"Did you see our semi-final game?" Bree asked, breaking the two word mode, and I knew she knew the answer already, so I gave her a knowing smile. It seemed my absence did more harm than any wicked plans I had, the sooner I was out of here the better.

After dinner I went across to the hotel reception to ask if they had any rooms, they did but then they asked how I proposed to pay. "On our account," I replied so she checked and we didn't have one. "Will credit card do?"

"Of course madam"

"I'll be back," I said and headed back to the Lodge. Everyone was gone when I arrived, so I began searching for my cards. Half an hour later I was still searching and sitting on the stairs in despair. I decided I might as well move my stuff out of the main bedroom and as I was doing so I heard someone come in, I turned to find it was Jo.

"David sent me to check that you are ok," she said.

I mumbled, "I'm ok"

"You don't look it" she said.

"Why has he sent you?" I spat out.

"I thought it was because he's your husband and he loves you," she said, then carried on. "We are watching the show, something about a ridiculous contest is on in a while. We saw you over there in reception and thought you were bound to have seen us."

I realised that I hadn't been paying attention.

"Please come," she asked, looking at me with those puppy dog eyes.

"One second," I said, determined to move my stuff first.

David made space for me when I arrived, bringing a chair from the back so that I could sit next to him. Then when we were sorted, he reached out and held my hand as we watched the show restart. "I hear you want to move out," he whispered into my ear. I was crying at this point and trying not to be heard. "I can't find any credit cards," I said, each word between sobs.
