Karen cleaned off the coffee table while Connor and I pulled the loveseat over, opposite the couch. I retrieved that infamous, thick foam cushion that Karen and I had so enjoyed Monday night and a cushion off an easy chair to put on the other end of the table.
"Anyone want a drink before we start?" I asked.
"I bought rum and ginger ale like we had last time," Karen said, "that's what I'd like... kind of got to like it."
Everyone else said that'd be fine, so Connor and I got up to make drinks. I crushed a bowl of ice and Connor poured the drinks. While he was pouring, I mentioned quietly, "Your friend's hot, pretty young. Think she will?"
He grinned, "Know she looks young, she and Nate are both twenty, a year younger than Pauli. Don't know for sure if she will, but hope so," then looked at me, grinning, "but not as hot as your wife. Damn! And I KNOW she will. Guess you know what I intend to do with her."
Ahhh! Another guy just outright telling me he was going to fuck my Karen. Something I sure as hell never thought would excite me like it was. It surprised me how much real truth there was in the stories I was writing.
We carried the drinks back to the living room, passed them out and when I started to sit back down, Karen asked me, "Hon, I forgot something on the top of my dresser. Could you go get it, please?"
"Sure," I told her and trudged off to the bedroom, wondering what she'd forgotten. There, on top of the dresser, was a small bottle of KY Love Passion. I picked it up and read the side of the bottle, 'sensual lube for couples. It enhances the feelings for both parties' I thought about the significance of Karen wanting lube. We've never used lube, never needed it. And she sure as hell wasn't going to need it tonight... unless...!
My heart was pounding a hole in my chest when I turned to go back to the living room with my treasure hidden in my pocket... and saw it, the sheet of paper on Karen's side of the bed, right where I'd be sure to find it. I thought about ignoring it and just rejoining the group, but curiosity got the better of me.
It was a note. From Karen. She'd apparently written it and wanted me to see it before whatever was going to happen tonight happened. As I read it, I realized this was probably the real reason she'd sent me in after the lube. Otherwise, she'd have just discretely tucked it in the little drawer on the coffee table, or somewhere.

Dearest Robert,
I wanted to share a few of my thoughts with you. It was just easier to write them down.
I shake my head in disbelief as I look at how far I have come in just a very short time - never imagining I would be the person I am finding myself to be right now. I was never a prude, but have never felt as sexually uninhibited as I feel in this moment. And you partaking in this journey of discovery with me has created a bond that will be hard to ever break.
I think the best way to describe what has transpired is to take a quote from my parents, "You don't miss what you never had." This is what my parents said when I asked how they ever lived without cellphones. We had a satisfying sex life, but we simply weren't exposed to more than vanilla sex, until you found Lush. So, your mind started to open first, and then mine followed with your introductions to this previously unknown world. I don't think either of us could say we were opposed to sharing ourselves sexually with others or spanking or a little dominance, we simply had not thought about it before. Some may say I "changed". I don't feel this is a correct statement - I "awakened".
And I will confess, at first, I felt like I "had" to go through with the poker game. Sure, I was not comfortable with it, but I believed our marriage needed me to follow through with it. And fortunately, I enjoyed it - more than enjoyed it if I am being honest. Another man fucked me! Pummeled my pussy into a wall if I am being totally accurate! And I wanted his cock ramming me more than anything I had wanted in a long time. I had always been the same woman since you first married me; not much had changed over the years. Now, I can tell by the surprised expressions on your face and the pop-up bulges in your britches when we talk about your stories or you see what I like to wear to work now, you are rediscovering who I am. And you enjoy the mystery of not knowing exactly what I will do in each new circumstance. And I am seeing a new side to you ... and the most intense orgasms of my life have resulted.
We are about to meet with a new couple. And I am feeling completely different in this circumstance - confident and sexy. Whereas for strip poker, I was terrified and insecure. Also, I feel as though I can say "no" this time. You have seen I will try some new things for you, so I don't feel as though I have to do "everything" now. Do you understand what I am saying?
If this new woman seems nervous or inexperienced, I will be able to relate. I was her just a short time ago. Has it only been a week? Hard to believe, isn't it. I have learned I can't really say for sure what I will or won't do until I am in a particular situation, but I don't "think" I would want to dip my toe in the lady pond... if you know what I mean. However, I have thoughts of you, me, and her having some private time. If she doesn't have Pauli's dominance and self-assuredness, I might feel a little motherly towards her and could see myself stroking her, relaxing her, while you bury your face in her possibly reluctant pussy. My panties become wet thinking of you coaxing out those same feelings Connor drew out of me - and me being closely connected to them when it happens.
We shall see how this night plays out, but I am no longer afraid. And I think the most important lesson from all of this is, "You need change to grow."

Wow! My Karen wrote that? Who's sitting out there, waiting to play a sex game - now, with a tube of lube for... what? And her mention of the 'lady pond'; she doesn't 'think' so? And 'burying my face in Alyssa's reluctant pussy'? God!
I needed to calm down just a bit before I could even think of walking back in the other room with the stick I had, poking a hole in my pants. I went in our bathroom... and smelled Karen's perfume. Hell, besides that, the damned brownies, I think, were doing weird things to me. I felt... like I was about to explode, so damned horny. I splashed cold water on my face and looked at myself in the mirror, wondering how a normal, average-looking guy like that guy in the mirror could even possibly be in this kind of situation.
There wasn't any way that this 'stick' was going away, but I guessed that every guy out there probably had a hard dick, too, so I sucked it up and just walked back out and sat down on my cushion as if nothing had happened. But I couldn't help but give Karen that look, that she'd know...
They'd waited for me to get back to even unwrap the game. There were questioning looks why it took so long, so I explained, "Had to use the bathroom."
Connor deferred to me to open it, but I told him that it's his game, so he peeled the cellophane off and opened it. The box is half-round, so it made sense the game board was, too. He unfolded it, giving us a round game board about eighteen-inches or so in diameter with a spiral face, leading to a big 'WIN' block in the center.
Karen and I were sitting on the cushions at each end of the table with Connor and Pauli on the love seat, Alyssa and Nate on the couch. There were two packs of cards, green and yellow, one to go on each side of the 'win' box.
Connor unfolded the little instruction page and began to read through it to himself. "Okay," he started, "there's suggestions to make the game more fun. First, it says to not look at the cards ahead of time."
Okay, that's not hard. I unwrapped each and put them in their places on the board. I won't say I wasn't curious as hell what might be on them.
"Next, it says for couples to not sit together."
We looked around and Connor and Nate got up to change places, so that we were; me on one end, Pauli on my left, then Nate, Karen on the opposite end, Connor and then Alyssa on the love seat. None of us sitting next to our partner.
"Third, it says for anyone with limits on what they might want to do to say so before the game starts." Again, we all glanced around, waiting for anyone else to speak up. I could only think of one thing that I absolutely wouldn't do, "Umm, I'm not going to do anything with any other guy. Absolutely!" I said.
The girls pouted, thinking that that didn't seem very fair, but we three guys were unanimous. It just plain wasn't gonna happen! Then Pauli said, "Okay, girls, since the boys don't want to play with each other, are we going to say the same thing?"
