We'd been swinging as a couple for a good few months before we married and it felt like a very natural exciting part of our lifestyle and relationship.
As part of his job, Pete works abroad a lot of the time and can end up being away for two or three weeks at a time.
Shortly after our honeymoon Pete was due to be away for three weeks traveling with work across America and Asia.
We had a very close circle of friends who were made up of 'vanilla' friends and then there were 2 couples who were both swingers.
Since we'd only been married a few weeks our friends made sure that I was welcome over at theirs any time and that I didn't need to feel alone while Pete was gone.
One of the swinging couples had been my friends for a very long time before I'd met Pete and the same was true of the other couple with Pete. When we met we'd both been swingers for a good number of years and so our social groups kind of merged together really quite well. Friends becoming friends together etc.
Before our wedding these two couples had basically become our best friends and we were spending more and more time together.
I'd like to point out that the time together didn't always end up with sex occurring though! Swingers can be very close friends without sex being involved all the time!
But, having said that, being close friends did mean that when sex did occur it felt a lot more natural and sensual due to the increased closeness in the relationship. Something we were all really keen to nurture.
I suppose giving names to the people involved would help at this stage in the story.
So, the couple I'd known for a while were Guy and Sarah and the other couple were Sam and Lucy. Both girls were fully bisexual and they'd all been swinging for a good few years as well meaning there wasn't any kind of hangups or insecurities firing off which was lovely.
What really meant a lot to myself and Pete was that when we first introduced the couples to each other they also hit it off instantly. This was great for us as it meant our closest friends were close friends with each other as well.
This all resulted in Sarah and Lucy being two of my bridesmaids and Sam was Pete's best man with Guy being an usher at our wedding.
So, Pete left on the Tuesday morning for the airport. It was a tearful departure as I'd not see him for another 18 days - our first time apart since being wed.
I'd made sure I'd filled my diary with plenty of things to do but still, I knew it'd be a lonely time especially at night times.
Thursday night I got a call from Lucy asking if I'd got any plans for Saturday night. She invited me over for dinner and a movie with her and Sam. With nothing else planned I jumped at the offer and accepted.
The week flew past and Saturday was soon here.
Even though Lucy and Sam were good friends I still liked to put in some effort into getting ready to go out. I guess this was more so with these two because they were really Pete's friends more than mine. Suppose I still felt a bit like I was 'Pete's wife' rather than simply their friend.
It'd been a very hectic week with work and so I thought I'd treat myself to a trip to the salon to have my hair re-highlighted and my nails done. Nothing like a pampering session to relax a girl!
It was a warm spring evening and I wasn't quite sure what to wear as the weather was still very changeable and I'd hadn't got my warmer clothes sorted properly yet.
With my hair all done I decided a sexy dress was in order and so got into one of my favourite satin cocktail dresses - a gorgeous purple halter neck short dress. It was heavily lined and so meant I could easily get away without wearing a bra and due to the halter I could adjust it to create a deliciously enticing cleavage. An added plus to the lining was also that it was very warm to wear.
It wasn't warm enough to go without holdups so wore a sexy pair of high sheen lace top holdups finished off with a pair of purple strappy 4" heels.
I did feel a little too glammed up for dinner with some friends as I trotted down the path to my awaiting taxi but, I felt like I needed a treat that evening and getting dressed up was my kind of fun.
When I arrived at their house I was very relived to see that they had both put in some effort for the evening. Lucy was in a lovely floor length satin maxi dress and barefoot - with lovely baby pink nails. Sam was in a smart casual shirt and jeans which made him look very much the kind of gent I'd love to have on my arm.
As Lucy walked in front taking me into the lounge it was obvious she too wasn't wearing anything other than the dress which I have to admit got my mind drifting to other activities.
Lucy is a couple of years older than myself at 38 and Sam is 40. They'd been married for about 10 years and hadn't got any children. They worked really hard and by the time they'd wanted kids they found out they couldn't conceive. They joked about it being OK though because they couldn't see how they'd manage giving up their lifestyle.
Sam is a very fit 6" guy who works out a lot and loves to keep fit running and cycling. He is also a great lover and has a gorgeous tool below.
Lucy is a very feminine woman who loves to dress professionally and classy but with a bit of 'flirt' thrown in for good measure. For the guys...she's 5'7", 34e, size 12/14 and is healthy too but not down the gym all the time like Sam.
I really found them both very attractive and they really were great fun to hang out with.
Dinner was delicious and we had a great time chatting and laughing as friends do.
As we were clearing the plates away Sam suggested Lucy and I go into the lounge to chill while he got some drinks ready and tidied up.
Sat on the sofa together we were just chatting away when Lucy started asking how I was coping without Pete around.
