"I think the crab cakes get better every time we come here," Heather said to her friends, Jackie and Sherry.
"I agree with you Heather, they were really good today," Jackie replied.
"Not much filler either," Sherry remarked.
The three woman have known one another since grade school. Although they went in separate directions after graduating from high school, non of them left the area and when college days were done they regrouped and have become a very tight knit group.
Heather had decided to pursue becoming a nun after high school, but four years into the process she decided that wasn't the life she wanted. Heather met Tom at a church function four months after her decision and married him three months later. Their marriage has become more of one of convenience than one of love. Tom views sex as an act of procreation not love. Heather should have known this before marriage because there was no sexual interaction outside of lip to lip kissing, but being a devout catholic, Heather had just figured they were both waiting until they became man and wife. They were unable to bear children during their first year of marriage and after testing it was found that Heather was infertile. Tom of course would never agree to artificial help and held Heather responsible and what little love making they had simply ceased. Now at the age of twenty six, the 5'6" dirty blond 125 lb. Heather is content with meeting her two friends for lunch and every other Thursday to go line dancing.
Jackie also twenty six, is a flirtatious 5'8" 140 lb. dynamo with a high libido. She has been married to Chuck for two years. They do not have children. She loves Chuck but their relationship has already started to slowly drift apart. She had a few moments of stepping out on Chuck while they dated and carried that lifestyle into her marriage. Jackie also loves the night the three of them go line dancing, since she has met a few men on the dance floor that have led her to venturing out to the parking lot with them over the past two years.
Sherry, is the most adventurous of the group and just turned twenty seven. She has black hair cut in a bob style. She is 5'5" and weighs 138lbs. Sherry married right out of college and has two kids, which has put a damper on her sex life with Al. They also have been slowly drifting apart after the birth of their second child two years ago, due mostly to fatigue and work. Sherry, like Jackie, has made her way out to a car during dance nights more than a few times.
"So who's turn is it to drive Thursday night," Sherry asked?
"My turn I believe," Jackie replied.
"Thank God it's not my turn, Sherry said, I hate being the designated driver."
"And when did that ever stop you," Jackie said with a laugh.
"What do you think about the guys doing the fishing trip to the Keys," Jackie asked?
"I can tell you...it sucks, Sherry said...more time I have to watch the kids alone."
"I would love to have kids to watch," Heather said.
"I'm sorry Heather...I didn't intend for it to come out that way. I just meant it's exhausting to watch two kids under the age of five by yourself for a whole day, let alone three."
"I was thinking...since the men are doing a long weekend away in the Keys...maybe we should do a long four day weekend cruise to the Bahamas." Sherrie said.
"God wouldn't that be beautiful," Jackie said...although I am not sure Chuck would ever let me go away that long."
"You're letting him go to the Keyes aren't you," Sherrie asked?
"Um...he didn't ask me Sherrie...he just told me."
"What about you Heather...what do you think?"
"I would love to go away for four days. At this point I don't know if Tom would miss me or not," she said half jokingly.
"I am going to get some info on it...we can talk about it on Thursday," Sherrie said.
Jackie looked at her watch and said, "I need to get going...I have a meeting with my boss."
*********************************************************
Jackie got back to the office twenty five minutes late. She immediately went to her boss's office. Stephen was sitting behind his desk waiting for her.
"I'm so sorry Stephen...there was an accident on Gorge Road that tied traffic up."
"Okay, Jackie... but I guess I am not going to be able to have our discussion now...I have a meeting out of the office in a half hour and I don't want to leave our talk unfinished."
"But I was hoping we could finish laying out my path to the promotion Stephen."
Stephen got up from behind his desk and began to pace, obvious deep in thought. He walked around to where Jackie was sitting and stood behind her. He placed his two hands on her shoulders and said..."Perhaps we could meet one day this week towards the end of work?"
Shivers ran through Jackie's body at the feel of Stephen's touch. She's had a suppressed desire for the forty eight year old married hunk since she started working at the accounting firm four years ago. Jackie had tried flirting with Stephen from time to time, but her flirtatious remarks have never been returned by the vice president in the same manner.
"Sure...um Stephen, is any day better than another?" As Jackie finished asking her question, she looked at her lap and realized that the skirt she had on had risen a little higher on her leg than normal, now showing at least half her thigh. Instead of correcting this, she uncrossed then recrossed her legs, causing the skirt to rise to a point that the hem was just inches below her crotch. When she did this, Stephen squeezed her shoulders several times, which made Jackie believe she had Stephen's interest after all.
"Oh Stephen...you got a magic touch...my shoulders have been bothering me all day...could you rub them a little for me please?" Jackie said.
As she had hoped, Stephen began to massage her shoulders. Jackie uncrossed her legs and left them that way. She leaned back into the chair and said, "God, I feel a little warm," and she unbuttoned the top two buttons on her blouse, giving Stephen a view of her red lace bra that barely confined her 38-D breasts. Jackie could hear Stephen's breathing grow a little deeper which excited her even more.
Unsure of how to proceed without spooking him, Jackie said, "How about Friday Stephen...I could stay after work then."
Stephen stopped the massage and took one last look at her breasts and said, "Great...why don't you come to my office say around four thirty?"
"Perfect, said Jackie, I will get out of your way so you can get to your other meeting."
As she got out of the chair she turned towards Stephen and as she walked past him she brushed her left breast against him...just to make sure he had a clear understanding of what Friday could bring.

"I am feeling a little tired at the moment ladies...I am going to sit at the table, have a drink and relax for a few minutes," Sherry said before leaving the dance floor. They had been dancing non-stop for almost an hour and a half which was typical for their Thursday night dance get together.
"Boot Scootin' Boogie" was playing in the background as both Heather and Jackie followed her to the table they had put their personal belongings on, but when they got to the table there were three men sitting there.
"Hey guys...sorry but this is our table," Jackie said.
"I'm sorry...we had been looking for a place to sit but couldn't find one...we thought we would sit here until whoever owns this stuff on the table came back. But I must say we certainly picked the right table...because you are three beautiful women."
"Wow...is that the best you can do," asked Sherry?
"Thanks for watching our stuff, but you can go now," said Jackie.
Before any of the men could move Sherry asked the tall muscular looking man who had done all the talking, "What's your name?"
"Oh I'm sorry...I am Tim...this is Paul and the man in the corner is John," Tim replied.
"Well you need to work on your lines a bit there cowboy," Sherry said.
"How about you give me a chance to do just that," asked Tim?
"We are all married," Heather quickly said.
"Well I wasn't suggesting anything improper...um...I'm sorry I didn't get your names," Tim said.
"That is Heather, this is Jackie and I am Sherry."
"So nice to meet you Heather, Jackie and Sherry. How about we buy you drinks for the remainder of the night, and we can share the table with you?"
"Like I said...we are married," Heather said.
"Well I for one will take you up on your offer Tim," Sherry said.
Heather looked at Sherry questioningly. Sherry saw Heather's anxious look and leaned closer to Heather and whispered, "Relax Heather...we are on the dance floor most of the night anyway...and you should lighten yourself up a bit...have some fun. These guys are really good looking...really hot...have some fun."
"But, I am married," she whispered back.
"Are you happy Heather...honestly are you happy?"
The rest of the night flew by. The three guys turned out to be not only funny and sexy, but also great dancers. As normal, during the final hour the first half was dedicated to strictly slow dances. This moved people out that only wanted to line dance and for those that stayed it provided time for rest...or romance. The final half hour would finish with more line dancing.
"May I have this dance," Tim asked Sherry?
"I would love to Tim."
Paul and Jackie had been teasing each other all night and were already on the dance floor. Heather and John remained at the table watching the two other couples dance with one another.
"Would you care to dance with me Heather," John asked?
"I really shouldn't John...I am a married woman."
"I see your ring Heather. I would be very honored if you would dance with me though...you are a very attractive woman...I know I would make all the other men jealous of me." John said with a sly grin.
Heather smiled inwardly from John's compliment. "Okay John...I will dance with you...but no funny business, okay?"
John led Heather onto the floor and pulled her closer so that they could begin their dance. "Maybe we should back away a little bit," Heather said.
"It's just a dance Heather...nothing more."
Heather relaxed into John's arms. "So tell me a little bit about you John," Heather said.
"Well let's see, I am twenty five...have lived here in Jersey for seven years...recently broke up with a girlfriend because I didn't want to move to Ohio. I work in medical sales, so I travel a bit around the state."
