Sarah pulled Rody into the kitchen, standing close to him to talk over the noise at the party.
"I know you don't know me Rody, but I'm here because of your wife."
Moving back far enough so his arm lost contact with her breast, Rody looked at her in confusion. "What are you talking about? And how do you know my wife?"
"Look, we don't have much time here. Check out my phone."
A stream of people continued to walk by as they refilled drinks, socialized and generally had a good time, all while Rody had a sense of impending doom. Sarah knew his wife all right, Toni's contact picture and cell number were right. When Sarah switched to show the text messages, that's when it all started to make sense. He tried reading, but the constant bumping of people through the doorway kept interrupting, but he had briefly seen how they were conspiring a few minutes ago, and it had something to do with him, he couldn't tell what though.
"Let me just tell you," Sarah leaned into him again, speaking directly into his ear. "Most of it, anyway. Toni keeps seeing people online and on TV say that if a wife doesn't have a lot of sex with her husband, then he will get it somewhere else. She doesn't want to put out, but she doesn't want you to cheat either. Because of that, she asked me to test you. To try and seduce you. Well, not seduce. She wanted me to lead you on, then to see if you make the moves to have sex with me. By the way, my name's Sarah."
His face still twisted in confusion, Rody looked around at the crowd, trying to see if anyone was paying undue attention to them.
"Ummm, hi Sarah, it's nice to meet you I guess. So if what you're saying is true, how would she know if it worked? Is she taking your word for what happens?"
"Oh no, it's worse. Toni is here in disguise. She's occasionally watching us, but I saw her go into the bathroom a minute ago, so I took the chance to give you a heads-up. Later when we're in the bedroom, she will be watching from the closet."
"Why would you tell me all of this?"
"We have mutual friends, and I've known about you for a few years, but we've never met. From everything I've heard about you, you're a good guy and you don't deserve this crap."
"Thank you for that. So why are you doing this setup? First you say I'm a good guy, but then here you are doing a sting operation. I don't get it."
"Rody, you're too cute." Sarah moved closer, wrapping her arms around his waist before dropping one hand to his ass. "Smile and talk into my ear, she's watching. I'm doing this so I could warn you. If I didn't, Toni would find someone else who would go all the way without warning you. I'm expecting to get all worked up and frustrated before you walk away and leave me hanging. Got it now?"
Straightening up to take a sip of his drink, Rody scanned the room, his eyes not lingering on Toni when he spotted her across the kitchen. She was well disguised, but he knew his wife too well to not notice. He stepped out of Sarah's arms, leaving a more appropriate distance between their bodies. Then he leaned back down to Sarah, his lips brushing her cheek.
"I can't believe she's doing this, but it feels like you're telling the truth, and it kind of explains why she made me come here tonight. Thanks so much for letting me know, that was an awesome thing to do. I need some fresh air to think it through, but right now I think I'm OK with going through with this."

Watching her husband with another woman was disturbing to her, but Toni realized that not only was it her fault for setting it up, but also because she knew what was coming later that night. This test was the whole reason she had insisted that Rody go to this party without her, and without the help of Sarah, she didn't know how long it would be before she could run this test again. While she loved her husband, the medication she was on had killed her libido, and for the past year the thought of sex grossed her out.
Toni was pleased to see that Rody wasn't doing anything right now that he wouldn't have done with her there, but Sarah's actions were starting to irritate her. It wasn't anything obvious, but Toni knew there could be a lot happening that she couldn't see, and she was the one who asked Sarah to violate his personal space. Once she saw Rody walking away, Toni's mood calmed, and she waved to meet up with Sarah, walking into the living room to talk.
"So what do you think of Rody?"
"He seems like a nice guy." Sarah responded, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Want to? Are you kidding me? Of course I don't want him to have sex with you! I do need to know how he would react, and I'm glad you're a good enough friend to help me out with this."
"This is crazy Toni, but whatever. If nothing else, I can be enough of a tease to give myself plenty of thoughts to use in bed by myself tonight. Not having a boyfriend sucks sometimes, and I've only been single for a couple of weeks."
Toni laughed, giving her friend a hug. "Silly, it's just sex, but thank you. Trust me, after a while it's more of a bother than it's worth."
Her heart sinking in sadness for Rody, she wondered if there was a way she could help without getting him in trouble. "So what are my boundaries? What can't I do to your husband?"
"To be crude, as long as his junk and fingers stay outside of your body, you have free reign. Oh, and don't get all touchy-feeley on him where people can see, I don't want to start any rumors."
"So you're saying that for once I get to act slutty and mean without having having to have sex, plus not worry about getting raped?"
"Pretty much. Oh shit, here he comes, we can't let him see me here. Go. Get out."
As Sarah walked away, a memory came to her from a few years back. She had seen and heard things she wasn't supposed to, and it was Toni that was misbehaving. It was probably the alcohol helping fuel it all, but Toni had the attention of a popular local hottie, a single "ladies' man" that had the eyes of many women. Sarah saw them making out, and his hands were causing bumps under her clothes where they shouldn't be. To make it worse, other people told her that night that they had seen more of the same. Even though their clothes stayed on, and it was only their hands that got carried away, it was still further than Toni should have gone. This guy knew better as well, but he couldn't turn down a freebie make-out session, especially when combined with groping. Sarah knew Toni wasn't the only one to fall prey to him, but she was one of the few that kept her pants on. This sudden flashback helped her decision to be extra giving to Rody tonight.
Stopping by the restroom, Sarah took off her bra and panties, wrapping them in a towel before hiding them under the vanity. Now wearing only a zip-up hoodie and a skirt, she felt free and exposed. She felt like everyone somehow knew she was only wearing two items of clothing above her sandals, and it was dangerously exhilarating. Once she went into the back yard, the cool breeze under her loose clothes made her shiver again with excitement.
Spying Rody by the driveway, Sarah went around the other side to meet him without making it look planned. Hidden between a large truck and the thick bushes, they met quietly as Rody crossed his arms.
"Hey Sarah, I saw you talking with Toni. Is she still wanting you to do this?"
"Yes she is, but that isn't all. She gave me a couple rules to follow too. If I didn't know better, I would think she actually wanted to see this happen."
"See it? What do you mean by that?"
"Like I said, she will be watching from the closet. Anyhow, the only rule you need to worry about is that your cock can't be inside of me. Is that clear? As much as I wouldn't mind it, that would be a bad thing."
"Ummm, yeah it would. Don't worry, I don't think it would come to that anyway."
"Well..." Sarah laughed, "I wouldn't be so sure about that. One last thing before we're missed, I wanted to give you a preview. Some stuff Toni said made me feel bad for you, so you get a freebie."
Unzipping her hoodie, she pulled it back to expose her full breasts, naked in the night air. Pulling up the front of her skirt, she tucked it into the waistband, leaving her almost naked for Rody's hungry eyes.
