The party was in a hotel ballroom. It was a commercial affair with the typical trimmings: live band, dance floor, cash bar, balloons, noise makers.
Martha and I danced a couple times before we looked for a table. After we sat down, I looked around the room. I only saw couples, no singles: men or women. Most of them wore matching costumes, pirates, superheroes, cartoon characters, historical figures. I didn't see much mingling going on. Maybe that would begin later.
Everyone was wearing a mask like Martha had said. We appeared to have the tightest fitting outfits. The cartoon costumes were very bulky. It was difficult to tell the men from the women. The historical couples were easy to tell apart; the women displayed their cleavage. The superheroes and superheroines were a mixed group. Some wore skintight costumes that showed their undergarments. I wished I had held my ground on that subject. Martha and I seemed to be the only ones who hadn't tried to hide their bits. The pirate couple caught my eye, especially the woman. Their masks were black bandanas tied over the upper part of their faces with eye holes cut out. Their shirts were unbuttoned and tied at the waist. Her skirt was very short with the stereotypical jagged hemline. I caught myself wanting to get her into bed. Martha noticed me oogling her and smiled. "He's pretty hot too," she whispered in my ear. "Let's ask them to dance."
They looked up as we approached their table. "We were wondering if you would care to dance," I said. They looked at each other, then stood up. I took her hand while he led Martha to the dance floor. Her eyes shined like a full moon, and she had a broad smile. I led her away from Martha and the gentleman pirate.
"I bet your wife picked out your costumes," she said.
I chuckled. "We're not married," I said, "but, yes, she did choose them."
She twisted my wedding ring. "Then what's this? She has one too."
"We are married, just not to each other."
"An affair? And she's calling the shots? How did that happen?"
"She found out her husband had a mistress, so she decided to have a mister."
"And you volunteered. Aren't you jeopardizing your own marriage?"
"Possibly. I keep hoping they will get theirs stabilized so she won't need me anymore, or, at least, switch to someone else."
"It sounds to me you're in for the long haul. Women generally don't bounce from bed to bed. Take it from someone who's been there. We're cheaters too."
"How long have you two been cheaters?"
"A couple years. And you guys?"
"About three months. Have you ever...." I nodded my head toward Martha and the other pirate. "...cheated on him?"
"Not yet, but that bulge in your costume is tempting me. He's enamored by her nipples and pussy. Are sure you aren't wearing coats of paint?" She maintained eye contact with me. Her hips pressed against mine.
"Your legs are tempting me. Have you ever considered being swingers?"
"Are you suggesting that we...while they....? Where?"
"She keeps an apartment for her time with me." I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the other pirate cutting in. I stepped back and gave her back to him. Martha entered my arms, and we danced away from them.
I glanced down between us and saw her wet crotch. "Still think underwear was a bad idea?" I asked her.
"Oh shut up. I want to do him. Is that okay with you?"
"Are you asking for permission to cheat on me?"
"Since you'd know about it, it wouldn't be cheating. What am I saying? You're not Frank. I don't need your permission."
"You need hers."
"You're right. Can you distract her or something?'
"How about we take them to the apartment and swap partners? She's primed for it. They're probably discussing it now."
"Bryan, you're a dear. There's something about him. I can't put my finger on it, but...I don't know what it is, but you may be getting a reprieve."
"She's pretty nice too. Our conversation was about affairs and sex, but there's something in her body language. Her sexuality is smoldering hot. Why would her husband drive her into the arms of another man? Since tonight they will be my arms, why should I care? I'm liking the idea of an open relationship where I can sleep around."
"You're pretty sure of yourself. Here they come."
The guy was smiling at Martha. The woman's eyes were locked on my crotch. "I hear we're in for a delightful evening," he said holding out his hand to me. "I understand you have a place." He and I shook hands.
"Yes," Martha said, "but it only has one bed."
"That sounds like fun," the lady pirate said.
"I have a couple requests," he said. "One, no names will be exchanged. Two, we wear our masks at all times. Let's keep this completely anonymous. We'll have an evening of pleasure and go our separate ways."
I looked at Martha. "I like the anonymous part," she said, "but let's hold off on going separate ways. We might want to do this again." Everyone nodded in agreement. "I guess you'll follow us."
"Why don't you ride with my man," the lady pirate said, "and I'll go with yours. That way someone in each car will know the way if we get separated."
Was she being practical, or was that a hint? Either way it sounded good to me. Her legs were straight and firm; she had big tits like Connie; and her hair, what I could see below her bandana mask, was equally blonde. I would know within the hour if she was a natural blonde. She kept her eyes on mine as we walked hand-in-hand to Martha's car. I had the keys tucked up my sleeve. My dick was already getting stiff, something she noticed but said nothing about. This woman had something about her that made me want to spend the entire weekend with her just like that first torrid weekend with Connie. Unfortunately she would be leaving the apartment with her lover, and I would have no way short of dumb luck of ever finding her again. There were also the problems of Martha on Saturday night and Connie waiting for me to get home from the 'bowling league meeting.'
She slid across the front seat and put her arms around my neck. She pressed her mouth against mine. Her tongue brushed across my lips. I gasped and my mouth opened letting her tongue in. She held herself tightly against me. Clumsily I untied her shirt and fondled her right breast. "Let's dump them and find a motel room," she said.
"I'd love to," I said breathlessly, "but this is her car, and I have the only key to the apartment."
