My text message chime snapped me out of the semi-conscious state right before, and curiosity brought me to see who it was, rather than ignoring it for the time being. Half expecting it to be Calvin telling how he and Shawna enjoyed the evening, I was surprised to see it was from our next-door neighbor Beth. A quick thought to her body caused a reflexive smile to come to my face.
The memory of the first time seeing her in a bikini, brought back visions of the tight bodied brunette that stands right around 5'8" and maybe 135 pounds worth of curves in all the right places. And from the looks of things, her breasts weren't always that size...either that or gravity hadn't quite found a way to affect them yet.
Swiping the screen, I see a bit of a playful jab, cloaking a somewhat serious question.
"Hey neighbor, when are we getting an invite to one of your pool parties? What's a girl gotta do?"
An involuntary laugh escapes me before sending her a response.
"Party? That was just a little get together. I don't think you'd fit in with that group anyway."
The text conversation kept going for maybe 20 minutes, before she said announced that she wanted to soak up some sun by the pool. And who would I be to deprive her of that? So of course I agreed.
At a few minutes after two, Beth sent another text just to make sure it was still ok for her to come over, getting a quick 'Yep, come on in. I'm on the deck' response out of me.
Within a minute, the sliding door off the kitchen opened and the beautiful Beth sauntered out to join me. Her outfit did its best not to betray what she was hiding beneath, as the loose t-shirt and gym shorts toned down her augmented breasts and well toned behind. Even if we hadn't talked a bit about her gym routine, I would still be able to tell that she worked pretty hard to keep herself in the kind of shape she's in.
"Hey neighbor!"
Her voice causing me to turn to look and see the female half of the next-door neighbor couple making her way across the deck, to the lounger nearest mine. Some of the remnants of last night's party still litter her path. But she doesn't seem to mind walking around the pool raft and smaller floating tubes that were piled there from the night before.
"I'm surprised you aren't looking worse for wear. I think there were people still out here at 2 am this morning..." flashing an inquisitive grin my way, making me wonder just how much she knew about what goes on here.
"Oh I was in bed by midnight. I left the young bucks out here to keep it going."
Accompanied by a sly grin flashed back at my guest.
"Well there were a few 'young bucks' then Mr. It wasn't too loud or anything...just noticeable" the mid 30's suburban wife kept talking as she shed her t-shirt and gym shorts, leaving only a bikini between myself and seeing just what she had to offer. It wasn't the most 'inviting' number, having large triangles covering her breasts almost completely, and the high waisted variety of bottoms. But Beth in anything less than her daily attire would get most guys' motors running.
As she laid down on the next lounger over, Beth leaned over to grab a bottled drink from her bag, giving me a good look at her as she turned away. Once she retrieved that, she laid back fully, to allow the sun to do its work on her body. All the while I kept stealing short glances while we made light conversation.
After a half hour, the conversation turned to last night's get together.
"So what was last night, a work party? Don't think I didn't notice."
Wondering just how much she knew, I feigned not knowing what she was talking about, all the while wondering just how much she knew. Had she been watching from a window somewhere?
I shot her my best 'who, me' look, in response to her question.
"The couples, silly. I figured it had to be a work party, with all the couples that were here. So yeah...where was our invite Mr?"
Knowing she was only half joking, I figured I probably should try to ease into this subject.
"Well, it wasn't a work party" giving my best sheepish grin as I embarked in the explanation "Actually it was a 'lifestyle' party. Those couples are into a certain type of...fun."
Letting the news sink in to my next door neighbor, I saw her expression change from mock anger to genuine intrigue.
"So you're telling me that they're all swingers, and you're just over here having orgies by the pool?"
The sarcastic tone matched the look on her face, as she processed what I had just told her.
"Well actually, we're a bit more 'private' than that. That's what bedrooms are for. And one on one is better anyway" Giving her a quick wink in the process.
"Wait....one on one? With all couples?" Knowing that she tipped her hand and just told me she was intently watching the driveway last night, Beth gave me a bit of a quizzical look.
Pausing for greater effect "There were a couple singles here last night. But they were here with Walt, I think. Either way, that wasn't what I was after last night."
Knowing that I had her interest peaked, I decided to let her lead the way with her questions.
Not one to let me down, Beth immediately responded
"And that is???"
With a big grin, I responded the best way that I could
"One of those married women was here specifically for me."
The look of shock on her face was priceless. It took her a full 5 seconds for her to close her mouth, which had fallen open out of shock.
"No. Nope. No. That just...no. No guy is going to bring his wife over to your house, just so you two can have sex." The look of shock gone, now replaced by one showing confidence in her answer, before melting away to a more gossipy, secretive look "Right? You're not serious...are you?"
I simply nodded my head yes.
"Ok, I think we all have the internet here. But that's just fantasies from dirty old men, isn't it? That stuff about sharing wives and all that...it's not real is it?"
I continued nodding my head yes, this time adding a cockeyed grin to it.
"It's pretty real. Very select niche market, but it's out there."
Her look goes almost conspiratorial "No shit! You're not lying to me now, are you? I feel like you're bullshitting me!"
My nod moves from side to side "I wouldn't lie to you about something like this. You've kinda stumbled onto a little secret here."
