Ch. 03
The family that plays together, stays together.
Several great things happened during the first two weeks of our mutually agreed to month long wait between visits with Becky and Sam. My wife Jenny got a promotion. The VP of Sales at her job retired, and everyone moved up a step. Sickly Mr. Forsyth, the previous National Sales Manager, Jenny's boss, got jumped up to VP, and Jenny went from Western Regional Sales Manager to the NSM slot, with a nice bump in pay. They told her she adapted much better to telework than the other regional guys, and they wanted her to roll out her techniques to all the regions, so they could reduce office overhead long term. Jenny is very much money motivated, and she loved the promotion. She was going to make sure to do better than her old boss ever had and was already planning what she would do as VP when that chance came, especially when the economy opened back up. I was rooting for Mr. Forsyth to shuffle off to a nursing home where he had to be on oxygen full time.
I also got a new position at my company, with a lot less on-site troubleshooting and hands-on coding and a lot more management, decision making, and people juggling. We were doing more business than ever because our clients needed more remote ordering and communications facilities than ever. I wasn't sure I liked all the price setting and 'people person' stuff that was now required of me, but I got a nice raise too, and a bigger office with a little conference area for meetings, if we ever started going to the office again. Jenny and I did not want to move, so we both upped our 401K contributions to the maximum, paid off some more principal on our mortgage each month, and felt a little more secure. We did talk about saving up for a nice vacation somewhere far away when travel was normal again.
We were still processing what happened last time with Becky and Sam. We talked about it several times. Jenny was amazed at how incredibly turned on she felt when she sucked on Sam's balls and felt him shooting his come into Becky's mouth. She said it seemed to act directly on her pussy. She felt like an animal. I told her how excited I felt when we were both pounding our wives in parallel, and I was watching both our cocks slip in and out of our wet wives. Becky had apparently shared with Jenny how hot she got when she watched Sam's dick slip in and out of another woman. Especially when she could look on from a few inches away.
With about two weeks to go, Sam called me and said that they wanted to get together to talk. Just talk. Was there trouble in River City? We discussed having a nice walk and talk around the neighborhood, and both wives agreed. We set out on the 'big circuit' which went around the perimeter of the neighborhood and made several crisscross turns across it, so that you ended up walking down almost every street and by every house, maximizing distance while staying inside the neighborhood and avoiding high traffic main streets. We didn't bother with social distancing, and the conversation got very intense.
Jenny started out by asking, "Becky, what exactly did you mean when you said that we are "scary"?
"You are both too nice. You make us get into a mood we have never been in before."
"My Tim is scary?"
Becky sighed. "Tim is the kind of guy I would want to be with if I wasn't with Sam, and Sam feels the same way about you, Jenny. Our old friends that we started swinging with were not like that. We could have hot sex with them, and we trusted them to be discrete and not behave riskily with other people we didn't know about, but we would never want to spend as much time with them as we did with each other, and it wasn't even comfortable to just hang out with them if we weren't having sex. It was hot times or no times. You guys we can just hang with, feel at home with, and that's dangerous."
"How is it dangerous?"
Sam cleared his throat. "Because it is too easy for the sex, which requires some intimacy, to lead to deeper emotional attachment and conflict with people like you two."
Jenny looked stressed. "So, ethical swinging, which is supposed to make the marriage more survivable in the long term, puts it at more risk instead? Are you saying you only want to swing with people you really don't like that much? You really just like us as fuck buddies and not as real people?"
Becky laughed uncomfortably. "That's sorta true! That's the real problem. If we swap and I bang some airhead guy with a subpar IQ but a nice body, Sam knows exactly what it is going on. With someone like Tim, he might worry about more of an attachment. Not that you don't have a nice body, Tim, but you are so smart and nice otherwise. But our marriage must take priority. That's why we only swing with married couples that are committed to each other. Did you even see that movie "Boogie Nights?"
"No. but maybe we should all watch it. I thought it was about making porn movies?"
"It is, but there is a backstory about a sexually open couple and their marriage. It doesn't go well."
"So, we should just fuck and never hang out?"
"Well, yes, or maybe we should just fuck more?
"More often? More than once a month?"
"No. I meant more than just the two couples. So, we don't get so attached to you two."
Jenny and I looked at each other, but neither of us could think of anything to say. The silence grew so uncomfortable that I felt I had to fill it. "Do you have someone in mind?"
Becky spoke up, "Well, yes. For starters, our old friends you saw in the videos.
"I don't recall a video with another couple."
