Ken and Beth were the quintessential normal married couple. Married at 21, they were both from the same small town, they both shared common interests. They were best friends, shared everything, and were very open with each other. They worked hard, made enough money to live comfortably and grew closer over the years. By the time they were in their mid 30s, they were settled with the idea they would always be together.
Part of what kept them comfortably together was they had a fantastic sex life. Despite being fairly inexperienced before getting married, they had a knack for communicating and sharing their desires, and that led to a fun and somewhat adventurous sex life. Nothing too crazy - sex in public places, watching porn together, that kind of thing.
Even after 15 years of marriage, Beth was still in great shape and enjoyed dressing up, and occasionally, dressing up sexy. They discovered that when they went to parties and Beth dressed up sexy, they both enjoyed the attention she would get. Ken liked seeing other men appreciate his wife, and Beth liked seeing Ken noticing the attention. And when they got home after the party, the sex was always wild and passionate.
But while Beth liked the attention of other men and Ken enjoyed watching that attention, neither one of them even had a thought about the idea of it being anything more than attention.
All that changed after they took a summer vacation to a little beach town several hours away from their home. After spending a long day basking in the sun, they found a little hole in the wall bar and settled in for a few drinks. After Beth got a few glasses of wine in her, she challenged Ken to a little 8-ball at the only pool table at the bar.
But just as they were moving to the table, two guys from the other end of the bar made the same move, and they arrived at the same time. When they realized that Ken and Beth had intentions on the table they politely stepped back. But Beth had a few drinks in her and was in full friendly mode.
"Hey, how 'bout we take you guys on in a doubles match?" Beth said.
The guys grinned at each other, shrugged and nodded their assent.
The guys introduced themselves as Rick and Dan, and the four set in to playing a doubles 8 ball match. Rick and Dan were probably ten years younger, and very fit and good looking, and as it turns out they were quite a bit better at pool than both Ken and Beth. They pretty much wiped the table two games in a row before Ken and Beth could even make a shot. All four were having a good time, laughing and having fun.
"Hey, how about if we change partners?" said Dan. "I'll take Beth."
"Change partners?" said Ken laughing. "I don't think Rick is my type."
Dan laughed. "Well I was talking about pool, but I would gladly trade my date for your lovely wife."
Beth blushed and played along. "I'll change partners for a while but I have to go home with him eventually."
They all shared the laugh and set about to playing with the new partner alignment, which made for more interesting competition. Now that Beth was on Dan's team, they ended up standing together during the other team's turn and talking a lot more. Dan was paying Beth quite a few compliments, from making a good shot to her golden tan. Beth was still knocking back the drinks and was very much enjoying the attention.
Each time Beth or Dan made a shot, they would high five, and eventually the celebration grew to include a hip bump. Sometimes the hands would linger on the high five, or Dan would give her a soft pat on the back, and Beth couldn't help but feel a little thrill.
Meanwhile Ken was also noticing all the contact between the younger man and his wife, and while he couldn't exactly pin down why, it was giving him a little thrill too. For some odd reason he wasn't at all jealous, and was looking forward to their friendly contact. He made it clear with jokes and smiles that he didn't mind their playfulness, and at times he deliberately turned away so Dan might be bolder.
As the games and the drinks went on, the interaction and contact increased. At one point Dan was standing behind her helping Beth line up a shot, and from where Ken was standing on the other side of the table he couldn't help but wonder if Dan wasn't coming in full groin to ass contact with his wife. He also couldn't help but notice that Beth was taking her time getting the shot lined up, extending the time that they were in contact. When she finally took the shot she missed badly and he had to catch her to keep her from losing her balance, and that ended up with a quick, friendly embrace. Ken clapped his hands to show his appreciation, and he couldn't help but notice that Dan got flushed and maybe even had the signs of an erection in his shorts.
As the games continued, the bar crowd began to thin, until the four of them were pretty much the only ones in the bar. With each game, the playfulness between his wife and Dan increased, and it struck Ken at one point that if someone had walked into the bar and didn't know better, they would assume that Beth and Dan were a couple.
None of it was overtly sexual, it was just friendly and somewhat suggestive. A hand lingering on her hip, or Beth jokingly pinching his cheek or slapping his ass when he missed a shot. It was all innocent, and they were both enjoying the fun.
Rick was just knocking the eight ball in for the win when the bartender came by to give them a heads up that it was last call. The fun night had flown by.
"Hey, we probably still have time for one more game, why don't we bet a dollar on this last game," Dan said.
Ken made an exaggerated show out of putting a dollar down on the table and said "You're on!"
They laughed and ordered a last round of drinks, and Beth announced she would have to pee to make it to a last game. She walked over to Ken and gave him a quick hug.
"You doin' ok?" she whispered.
"Having a great time," he said. "By the way, you look incredibly sexy tonight."
She grinned as she checked her look in the mirror. She did look good, dressed in cutoff jeans, flip flops and a black silk top.
"By the way, when you lean over the table to make a shot, we can all see right down your shirt," grinned Ken.
Beth was genuinely surprised, and she realized that he was right. Not only was her loose fitting shirt buttoned down pretty low, but she had on a sheer see through bra, so without realizing it she had been showing off her chest. "Oops," she grinned, and she started to button the lowest button, but then Ken stopped her.
"I don't mind," said Ken with a wink. "And I'm pretty sure Dan and Rick don't mind either."
Beth feigned outrage and patted him on the ass. "You are so bad," she said as she walked to the ladies room.
