I wanted to preface this by addressed a few of the more pointed comments I received from my earlier story (A Devil's Bargain).
1. I'm not a good writer: Check.
2. My plot does not always follow a per-defined kink template: Yes, that's the whole point.
3. My dialog sucks: See the first point.
If you enjoyed the story nonetheless, I'd love to hear from you. Criticism, good or corrective, is always welcome. If you hated it, and by extension me, and took the time to write your vitriolic spit-soaked comments below: Bless your heart.
This isn't for everybody. There a little bro-mantic stuff too.
Leo the Young Italian Bull
When Covid hit, a lot of people gained weight. Not us, my beautiful sexy wife Janet set up a gym in our garage and we, unbelievably, kept to a pretty rigid schedule: 30 minutes of yoga and stretching every morning, 30 minutes of aerobics and strength training over lunch. By the time travel opened up again, we were both in the best shape of our lives. Janet, shoulder-length red hair, green eyes, and the smile of a model. She's about five feet, nine inches tall and has a swimmer's body. She has wonderfully muscular thighs, lean and agile, and had slimmed down and toned, she looked younger than her 35 years and really got a lot of attention when we went out. She was focused and determined, doggedly pursuing what ever challenge she took on, it was one of the reasons I loved her. Myself, I'd dropped 20 lbs and really looked ripped for the first time since college, buff if I must say so. Fitness was the best defense against Covid and we were well positioned.
To celebrate, we booked a week in the tropics (a week is never enough!) and spent the days lounging at the beach and dining out, enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other again. This resort issues us both a coded bracelet to open our room and also to order drinks and such. It was a welcome feature.
Most of the other guests were our age or older, so when a group of 4 young men arrived at the volleyball court next to our lounge chairs, and started to hit the ball back and forward, it drew some attention. Janet looked up and watched the young men for a moment, before returning to her book and drink. I looked over at her and to make small talk when out of the corner of my eye I caught movement out of the corner of my eye; the volleyball was headed straight towards us. Straight towards her head. I started to shout a warning to her, but there was no time to duck or move out of the way.
Like a flash, Janet's arm came up and knocked the ball back towards the court. I think I unconsciously said "Whoa!", or maybe I said it out loud. Janet acted cool, like nothing happened. The guys just froze in place, like they'd just seen black magic. then one of them ran after the ball.
One of the young men jogged over to us, and started apologizing profusely but in what sounded like Italian. Janet looked at me, a bemused smile on her face, and then looking up at the young man, said "Do you speak English?"
He paused, and wrinkled his brow, and said (in perfect English) "Of course! But you are so beautiful and healthy I thought for sure you were Italian like me!" He went on to introduce himself as Leo and explained that he and his friends were skiers just finishing up a tour of the Rocky mountains, from beautiful and wild Banff in the Canadian Rockies to Colorado and as far south as New Mexico. This was his last stop before heading home.
Leo was talkative and charming, and even Janet put down her book and started to really engage with him. He was tall, lean and athletic, he moved with a powerful grace. His blonde hair was closely trimmed on the sides, but longer and curly on top. In the conversation, we learned he was educated, a culinary student in Tuscany. After a few minutes, Leo invited us to join his friends for 3 on 3 volleyball, and Janet winked at me, then eagerly agreed.
The other young men were Leo, Nico and Dino, we exchanged greetings and Myself, Janet and Leo took one side, the other boys teamed up. At first it was plain that they were thinking this was a friendly game, but Janet played beach volleyball in college and in no time we were ahead and then she spiked for the win. We trade sides and Leo offered to pair up with Janet, against the three of us. It stared out as a tight game but as it continued it was obvious that Janet was distracted by Leo; She intentionally bumped into him several times, giggle and flirted and completely lost interest in the game. Our side won, the boys thanked us and left to get drinks.
Leo stayed behind, talking to Janet. I was a little annoyed, but Janet was enjoying the attention of a younger man, so I thought "What's the harm?". We grabbed some cool drinks and walked north along the beautiful sandy beach. As we walked, she touched his curly blond hair and put her hand on his arm, or his shoulder, smiling and laughing while he told us of his skiing or his hobbies or whatever. I felt more and more like a third wheel, but could not bring myself to leave her alone with him.
At this point, I should tell you that when we were young, we did toy with the idea of swinging or swapping, but at the time we just never found another couple that did anything for us, or wasn't sketchy or something. We did have long conversations about possessiveness, jealousy, cheating, and the difference between love and sex. In the end, we simply forgot about it and moved on together. At one point I started joking about a "Kitchen Pass", permission from each other to have a fling, if the opportunity to sleep with someone that was crazy hot, a solo lover, so at lease one of us could have fun. We even joked about running into our favorite actors or actresses, and the threshold for a "Kitchen Pass" being someone so hot that we'd immediately call each other and boast about it. It never came to anything though, how often do you run into Famke Janssen (Phoenix from Xmen) or Alexander Ludwig (Vikings BjΓΆrn Ironside) in real life? (Our top "Kitchen-pass" worthy actors)
Anyway, Janet was completely enamored by Leo, I think she would have stripped him and fucked him on the spot if he asked her, and Leo seemed to enjoy the attention also. Then, suddenly, he asked "Have you been to the north beach? It's off the resort, but very private" Janet heard the word "Private" and was eager to see it, I was just about to say something about her infatuation with Leo when he turned and said to her "You had better take your husband's hand, so his eyes do not wander too much, then we find a nice spot for sunset" and then he winked at me.
