Barbara and I got married right after college graduation when we had time between commencement and starting our first jobs. Our honeymoon consisted of finding an apartment and getting moved in. We scrimped and saved. After a couple years we bought a house.
Naturally we 'christened' every room just as we did with the apartment. Our weekends changed. Instead of fooling around in the house, we had yard work to do. On Sundays we went for drives in the country. We purposely did not wear any underwear figuring it would make playing with each other easier, but the seat belts got in the way. We went to the beach, but families with children kept us from doing much more than kissing. Even at night, it was crowded with other couples doing what we intended. We tried going inland and camping. The bugs ate us up. Sex became as routine as taking showers. We realized our lives were dull. Something had to be done to bring back the old sparks.
In desperation we tried the singles' bar scene. We were supposed to enter separately. We would flirt as strangers would. One of us would pick the other up, and we'd go home and be swinging singles. Out of habit, like on our date nights, we went into the bar together. Oops. She went to the ladies' room to separate us for a few minutes while I went to the bar. When she came out, I had her drink waiting for her. We hadn't taken our rings off. Undoubtedly the bartender had seen other couples doing the same thing making the same mistakes. We snuck off to a corner booth to hide our embarrassment.
We decided to give the bar scene a second chance. To avoid being recognized, we went to a different one. She put her rings in her purse, and I put mine in my pocket. I dropped her off at the door before parking the car so she would have time to find a seat and order a drink before I entered. The parking lot was full. I had to park on the street a couple blocks away and walk back. She had been inside fifteen minutes before I got back.
Barbara was seated at the bar talking with some guy. He was much bigger than me. They appeared to be enjoying their conversation. I found a table as close to them as possible and ordered a scotch on the rocks. I strained to hear them, but the band and the general noise level made it impossible to make out a single word. I was tempted to approach her pretending to be an old schoolmate, but I held back fearing he might be the territorial type and would cause a fight that would embarrass her and injure me. After ten minutes or so, she saw me. She flashed me a quick smile and continued her conversation.
I glanced around the room and saw a woman about Barbara's age sitting alone a couple tables away. Picking up my drink, I walked over to her. "Would you like to dance?" I asked her.
She looked me over quickly. "Sure," she said as she stood up. "I'm not doing anything else."
"I'm George," I said as I led her to the dance floor. I caught a flash of gold on her left hand as she put her arm on my shoulder. A waltz was being played.
"I'm Carla." We danced in silence for a minute. "Look, this is a singles' pickup place. I'll be honest with you. I'm married, and I'm not going home with you or anybody else except my husband."
"Does that mean the dance is over?"
"No. You are a good dancer. I just don't want to give you any false hopes. See that big guy at the bar talking to the blonde? That's my husband. We've been having problems at home."
"He's supposed to be hitting on you?"
"Yes. Are we that obvious?"
"You are wearing your rings. The blonde is my wife. I'm supposed to be hitting on her."
Clara put her left hand over her mouth and giggled as she stared into my eyes. "You're kidding."
"No. She came in first so we'd be apart when I came in. Your husband doesn't believe in wasting time."
"This is so ridiculous. I can't believe we're both married couples pretending to be singles. I wonder if your wife has told Ted who you are."
"I doubt it. Shall we ask them?"
"No, I want to make him think you are making progress with me. He's looking our way. Kiss me." I intended to give her a quick peck. She put her hand on the back of my head and held our lips together. My dick stirred involuntarily. When our mouths parted, she smiled. "I like the way you react. Ted saw us. Look."
We made a quarter turn so we could see our spouses. Ted's hand was on Barbara's knee. She wasn't resisting. He stood up and put his arm around her. They kissed like lovers. Just as Clara was trying to make Ted jealous, Barbara was trying to make me jealous. I didn't know if I should have been jealous or happy that she was attractive to other men. "I think it's time to introduce ourselves. I hope Ted isn't the jealous type."
"No, he's a pussycat. He won't hurt you. Let's wait a while. I want to see if they take the initiative to come to us." The music ended, and we returned to her table. She put her rings into her purse.
Barbara's hand was on Ted's thigh. I wanted to end their flirtations, but Clara's hand on my leg stopped me. She leaned her head on my shoulder as we watched them. Ted's hand moved up to Barbara's thigh raising her skirt in the process. She made no attempt to stop him.
When would this nonsense end? I hadn't been too keen on the bar scene, but I figured if it would help our marriage, it wouldn't be too bad. I hadn't expected to find a rival, and I certainly hadn't expected to be sitting with any other woman, especially my rival's wife. I had an advantage. Barbara couldn't see Clara's hand on my thigh. She had stopped checking on me and was giving Ted her full attention. Clara's hand caressed the tip of my cock through my pants. I looked into her eyes. My eyes closed, and my lips found hers. My hand went under the table to her bare leg. Without hesitation I slid my hand up her dress and found a naked hairless pussy. As my finger slid up and down her slit, her legs opened for me. She fondled my rapidly hardening dick enthusiastically.
We were breathing deeply when our lips parted. "That was supposed to be for Ted, wasn't it?" I said.
"Yes," she said softly, "but right now I don't care. Did your wife leave her underwear at home?"
"I don't think so. We didn't talk about it. I really don't know."
"Ted's very good with his hands. She could be as hot for him as I am for you."
"Are you swingers?"
"No, but I think before the night is over, we all will be. We're supposed to be swinging singles tonight."
"You're drunk."
"This is my first, last, and only drink of the evening. Did you really think she'd rebuff every guy that hit on her until you came to her rescue? She's a beautiful woman. What's her name?"
"Barbara."
"You're intimidated by Ted's size. Like I said, he's a pussycat. If you walked up to them, he'd run away. You wanted to see if Barbara was attracted to him. She is. He's very handsome. Basically, you created the situation."
