"I don't believe it!" exclaimed Tom, as he saw his work colleague sitting in a seat by the window.
Mark Perkins looked up from his paper, smiled and stood to shake his work colleague's hand. He had been waiting in the Optometry premises for his wife, Heidi, to have finished with the optician. As the two men started chatting they realized that both their wives attended the same place for different reasons. Heidi was very shortsighted and Tom's wife, Selena, was very picky about her designer frames.
Suddenly both their wives appeared at the same time at different corners from behind the consulting screens.
"Hey, there's mine," said Mark, pointing at Heidi.
"And there's mine," said Tom, pointing to his wife, Selena.
The women were still busy discussing frames with their respective sales advisers, so didn't see their husbands talking.
The men just stared and each gulped at the wife of his friend. The two women, although different ages, were both gorgeous. At forty-two, Heidi was the older of the two, Selena being twenty-three. Heidi was a tall woman, 5 ft 8 in, with a full figure, big breasts and a generous ass. Selena, who looked young for her age, had a slim athletic build, with nice "C" cup tits and a beautiful bubble butt.
Mark and Tom were the same ages as their wives. Mark was a broad-shouldered, six foot man. At forty-two he was slightly graying prematurely at his temples. Tom was smaller, 5 ft 6 in, the same height as his wife. Tom was a fresh faced young man, with a permanent wide-eyed innocent look that made him appear even younger than his twenty-three years.
As Mark gazed at Tom's wife, Selena, he saw a gorgeous sultry dark-eyed Latina brunette. He thought she looked like a teenager, rather than a young woman. He loved her slim figure, but also noted her nice bust and cute bubble butt.
Tom, looking at Heidi, saw a statuesque Scandinavian-looking blonde. Her maturity had given her a voluptuous fuller figure, although he also noted that her waist had not filled out, emphasizing her big tits and ass even more.
"Your wife is beautiful," gasped Tom.
"So is yours," agreed Mark in a dry throated voice.
Saying no more, the men separated and went up to their respective wives to help with the final decisions on choosing glasses.
Two days later, Mark and Tom saw each other in a bar near work and shook hands. They both worked for a cyber-video industrial company, Tom in the accountancy division and Mark in the system installation division. The conversation immediately turned to their good looking wives and each started asking the other about their spouse.
What were then described by both men were wives that seemed very loving. The relationships of the couples, in the eyes of both men, were excellent. Neither had arguments to speak of and even Mark's kids by a former marriage failed to roughen up the equilibrium of family life. It was only later in the evening, after a number of drinks too many, that the two men owned up to what turned out to be a problem, common to both of them.
The main grouch of the husbands, although it was unspoken by the men to their wives, was their mundane sex lives.
This did not mean that there was no marital sex life for the husbands, but both Tom and Mark owned up that their wives were not nymphomaniacs in the bedroom. Their sex lives were regular, if unexciting, with both wives coincidentally always indicating that a steady missionary position was quite satisfactory.
Tom and Mark agreed that they knew that this did not mean that the women did not care for them. On the contrary, they were certain that they loved them very dearly.
As the drinks kept flowing, the discussion became even less inhibited. Mark explained that his wife always said that she felt a tingling of pleasure when they had sex, but he wasn't sure that it could be defined as an orgasm.
Similarly, Tom said Selena seemed to breathe a bit more heavily, but he didn't think that the earth moved for her.
A final nightcap loosened their inhibitions further, but it was Mark who really pushed the boundary.
Mark mentioned Selena's hot Latina looks, sexy figure and curvy bottom. Tom, rather more conservatively then said that he had noticed Heidi's big breasts. The conversation then continued in an ever lewder vein, ending up with both men admitting that, ever since they had seen them, they had fantasized about having sex with the other man's wife.
Egging each other on, they started to describe their wives physical characteristics in detail. Mark, who could tell that Tom liked a bit of meat on his women, began by telling Tom about his wife's big breasts. "They're like two big weighty melons," he said. "Her areolae are like plums and you can get her nipples to stick out an inch".
Tom rubbed his crotch appreciatively. "Well", he said, "Selena's tits, though admittedly not as big as Heidi's, are a nice handful."
"What about her ass?" asked Mark eagerly.
"Selena calls it her splendid rear," said Tom, "but I can tell you it's not big, just firm and round. I know Heidi has a nice big butt, which I would love to fondle but, if you're into bubble butts, Selena's is rounder.
Eventually, with their fantasies to take with them, they struggled back home.
Next time they met in the bar, it was Mark who stated the audacious question. "Fancy a wife-swap?" he asked.
Tom looked incredulous, "You've got to be kidding," he gasped, "Selena would never go for it."
"Nor would Heidi," said Mark glumly, "I was just dreaming."
A few weeks later, they met up in the bar again.
"I know we can't ask them openly," said Mark. "We need a Plan B, that they won't recognise as a plan."
He continued, "We have to be clever, so that there is no suspicion and they don't realise afterwards what's happened."
"How the hell would we do that?" asked Tom sarcastically.
Mark explained the plan he'd been working on.
"We introduce each other to our wives as work colleagues. After a couple of weeks, we tell our wives that we are in danger of losing our jobs. I'll say that you are on the committee looking at redundancies. I'll also say that you fancy Heidi and are willing to get me off the redundancy list if you could get together with her. You and I can work on the detail. We can almost make it a joke, so that it's the wives who suggest the solution."
That evening Mark gave Tom a lift home and gained an introduction to Selena, who looked as gorgeous and youthful as Mark remembered her.
The following evening Tom gave Mark a lift home and was introduced to Heidi. Heidi was looking as voluptuous as Tom remembered. Mark's teenage children were staying for a month with their mother, so Heidi was not as rushed off her feet as she might have been.
The execution of the plan started a couple of days later.
After Mark had arrived home and he and Heidi had finished their meal, he said, "There's a problem at work."
Heidi looked at him questioningly. He continued, "It's probably nothing to worry about. It's just that they need to make a redundancy and I'm one of thirty potential staff on the published list. It's a one in thirty possibility, so there's nothing to worry about."
Then he added, "I'll tell you something that will make you laugh. You will remember Tom, well he's on the committee considering the redundancy list. Well he must have the hots for you, as he told me that he could cross my name off the list if he could enjoy your company for the night. I just laughed at him. You're twenty years older than him. What a joke!"
Heidi gave an attempt at a smile. She was annoyed with Mark. She felt he didn't appreciate her womanly attractions, which admittedly had become more weighty in recent years. She had liked Tom as soon as she saw him. He seemed awfully shy and she was very surprised he could be so forward as to suggest a sexual relationship with another man's wife. Nevertheless, she'd noted the way he had tried desperately not to look at her chest, and she'd also saw him in a glass reflection staring at her big rump, so she was not surprised that he'd admitted to Mark that he appreciated her.
Tom had the same conversation with Selena describing his potential redundancy and Mark's proposal for Selena. He had also ended with similar words of, "I just laughed at him. You're twenty years younger than him. What a joke!"
Selena didn't even bother attempting a smile. She was annoyed with Tom. She felt that generally he ought to behave with more manliness. He seemed wimpish at times. She'd noted Mark's height and broad shoulders when he was introduced to her. He appeared a figure of authority, who wouldn't be bossed around. He hadn't tried to hide his admiration for Selena's slim figure and didn't pull his eyes away when she caught him leering at her bubble butt. He was clearly an assertive man who liked to be boss.
Having sown the seeds, the next day the men went into round two.
When Mark got home, even before the dinner was laid he said, "Bad news I'm afraid. The list is now down to three names of which I am one. We've just got to cross our fingers."
Heidi went silent for a minute and then in a low voice said, "What about Tom's offer?"
Mark tried to look horrified. "You can't be serious!" he said.
"Why not?" said Heidi, "Tom is clearly a bastard with what he's suggesting. It's a horrible thing he's making us do, but Tom's hardly Mr Dynamic. He's a nervous young man and I'm sure I could manage him in the bedroom so that it wouldn't be much of an inconvenience for me. If it will save your job, I'm willing to do it."
"If you're certain about it, I'll talk to Tom tomorrow then." said Mark quietly.
Tom had a similar conversation with Selena, with Selena mentioning Mark's offer.
Tom tried to look suitably shocked. "No way!" he said.
