The story is a continuation of "Could a Dream become Reality?" which explored the tentative steps made by Greg and Angela towards their first swinging experience.
*****
"I love you."
These words bubbling from my mouth seemed so inadequate; however I habitually used them far more often since our first swinging experience. A cynic might suggest that I was just trying to keep my wife, Angela, willing to continue the swinging that we had just successfully experienced. My desire to keep her swinging may have existed, but this did not burn as strongly as my other emotions for her. I had always loved my wife, but now I felt that my feelings had been hit with adrenaline or some new drug. It was so overwhelming that these mere words now seemed incomplete.
We had been married for ten years, sharing good and bad times as complete partners. Now I felt that our relationship was almost spiritual. We seemed to know each other better and trusted each other implicitly. By simple facial expression, we seemed to more easily communicate. I found us often smiling as we recalled our experiences with Julie and Kevin.
So good had been our first time swapping with Julie and Kevin that there was little discussion before we automatically went to the next swingers weekend to once again enjoy the adventure with the same couple. We now incorporated a few new techniques into our own love making that we had picked up from our friends. Yes, and good friends they were fast becoming.
Back home after this repeat swapping evening, Angela expressed her feelings of elation as we lay in our own bed: "Greg, we have been really lucky to have found such a nice couple, particularly for our first experiences." With a wicked smile she continued. "Kevin is such a considerate lover and he already knows what turns me on. He and Julie seem to be a really decent couple with no false airs and graces."
"They have so much more experience than us, but they are genuine and always make us feel special," I responded.
"I just love some of Julie's stories of playing at swingers parties, but I am not certain that I could be that bold. I think Julie must become a bit of an exhibitionist; however she has not overtly shown that side of her character with us yet."
Given Angela's positive response to our experience, I thought it worth probing: "How far do you think we should go?" In an off-hand manner I asked: "Are you ready for an orgy or ... say a gangbang?"
"Woo!! Hold your horses. This body has no desire for a gangbang. Remember I told you about that one experience in College before we met. That guy was pretty rough and I felt somewhat vulnerable. That is one of the reasons that I want us to stick together during our swapping ... at least until we know the other parties can be trusted. I like to choose partners who unselfishly pay careful attention to my needs, just like you ... and now Kevin; ... however who knows what I may be prepared to try when extremely aroused."
I thought to myself that it only took a couple of glasses of champagne to loosen up Angela. Perhaps giving her another glass would be interesting.
I had also wondered what further experiences I would like to try. While some activities in porn movies were exciting, how realistic were they? While I was confident that our marriage was strong enough to play more wildly, I still would be concerned about our safety and the need for discretion.
Angela broke my thoughts with: "Julie contacted me to say that the next dance was to be fancy dress. Have you any ideas regarding a costume you would like?
"You know I have little imagination for such things and absolutely no idea about clothing fashion. What do you suggest?
"There is a fancy dress store at the mall. I will have a look for you. I haven't decided what I will wear, but I should be able to make my own costume."
While I was looking forward to the next dance at the swingers group, the next month passed relatively quickly. Perhaps knowing there would be a regular naughty escape enabled me to better concentrate at work. The new young administrative assistants with their tight fitting blouses just didn't seem to pose as much of a distraction now. My work productivity improved and my boss was discussing whether I wanted to take responsibility for a new project.

Then the time for the next party arrived. I had worked late on the Thursday night to ensure that I could have a long weekend. Angela took a day's leave from work, but on the Friday morning we were tired having been up late packing for ourselves and the children.
For some time, Angela's parents had been asking to have their grandchildren for a weekend. We drove the children to school and then dropped their bags with Nan and Pop. They had previously picked the children up from school and knew all the arrangements. We then headed south on the highway taking it easily and stopping for coffee regularly. We decided to take a break at a small Chinese restaurant. Angela wanted to have plenty of time without dinner distractions after we checked into the swingers' venue hotel.
Once we were in our room, I sat and watched some football on the television to fill in the time. Angela was acting quite secretive getting ready in the bathroom with the door closed. I knew she had painted her nails and I heard her shower, but it was taking a long time for even Angela. I needed to also get ready and she had not even told me about the costume she had arranged as my fancy dress. I could always trust her judgement; however as the time ticked by I was becoming impatient.
Then she opened the door. She was wearing a big smile and little else. She was stunningly naked and after studying her smooth body slowly, my eyes finally found her face. I could tell from her expression she was waiting on my comment. The extra hair was obvious. She had added extension to her blonde hair that strategically covered some of her breasts and extended down below her hips. It looked as if she was stark naked, but as she twirled about slowly I noticed some subtle details. Although it was flesh colored, she also wore a tiny thong. Otherwise her bottom was bare. While the hair covered some of her breasts their shape and size was obvious. The hair covered her pubic area accentuating the appearance that she was naked. Of course nothing concealed her long legs, hips and shapely curves.
As I overcame the shock, realization finally dawned. I said: "You're Lady Godiva!"
"Do you like it?"
I paused to think how practical her costume was, given I didn't want her arrested. "Well ... you look gorgeous ... but how do you get to the ballroom? I am not just thinking about the police, but you will have every horny man trying to chat you up on the way."
"Well that should be fun. But seriously, I will wear my burgundy satin silk wrap with the lace trim. Fortunately the venue is only downstairs. I can scrunch it up to fit the wrap inside my small leather clutch bag when we get there."
"Will you be allowed to wear just that ... or in fact not wear that, at the venue?"
"I checked with Julie who told me about some of the ideas from last year. Apparently most of the ladies push the dress limits."
"Well I look forward to seeing what Julie wears."
"Didn't I tell you that Julie phoned just before we left to say they couldn't make it? They had some urgent family commitment."
"That is too bad, but it also gives us a chance to meet other couples."
Angela did not seem disappointed and replied: "You never know what else we may learn."
"Given that you are wearing next to nothing, what took all the time in the bathroom?"
"Well I had to do all my nails and there was a little hair grooming required ... and not just my hair extensions."
"How are you going to keep that hair in place?"
"I have a little double sided tap in a few locations. That should keep it steady provided no one pulls the hair apart."
I thought Angela was overly optimistic as I was already imagining the temptation to grab a breast or two while dancing. This prompted my next concern: "Where is my costume?
"Well I had to keep your costume a secret until I revealed mine. Your costume has to be consistent with the 13th Century of Lady Godiva. I knew that if I spoke about my dress proposal beforehand I might chicken out."
"Is it in your suitcase?"
"Yes it is a medieval kirtle. It is like a long gown that flares from shoulder to hem. I made it when you took the children to sport."
I pulled some yellowy, green material from a plastic bag and realized that it was reasonably heavy. "What's it made from?"
"It is linen, but it shouldn't be rough on your skin. I don't expect you'll need any underwear."
"Do you mean dress like a Scotsman? Of course ... I wouldn't want to disappoint the ladies."
"There is also a coif which is a close fitting cap you can tie under your chin or let hang loose. Plus there is your dressing gown cord and your old leather sandals to complete the wardrobe."
"Well I guess I am lucky that you didn't want me dressed as the horse. I will just have a quick shower, or should I keep the smell to add the authenticity required of a 13th Century peasant?"
"Please yourself. I suspect I may attract some male attention, but you consider what is in your best interests with the ladies."
Needless to say, I shaved, showered and even applied some after shave.
