Charlie and Ronny kissed their wives goodbye at the door, then ambled out to Charlie's old beat-up pickup and drove off. They were going to spend the day on Charlie's sailboat,
Sea Mist
, doing some tackle upgrades and minor repairs. (Basically an excuse to hang out without their wives and talk.) In the afternoon, if the wives returned in time, they would probably take the boat out for a while, maybe up to Consta Marina for dinner.
Charlie pondered the mind-blowing events of last night, still trying to pin down what the hell had actually happened. It had been fantastic, to be sure. He had been so turned on by the end, his orgasm felt like his balls were exiting via the tip of his dick. Watching Symone's full, hanging tits bouncing as Ronny banged her from behind while feeling the wet hot grip of Lori's pussy on him had definitely been the most erotic thing he'd ever done.
But, the events raised all kinds of questions in Charlie's mind, too. How dangerous was acting like a couple of twenty-year-olds? Was the (admittedly incredible) excitement worth the risk? What were the dangers in this?
And, how far would he and Lori go with this? What was he comfortable with? What was
Lori
comfortable with? (That question gave him a little kick of anxiety in the gut, because, what if she wanted more than he could live with?)
"So, did you guys talk about it?" Ronny asked, interrupting Charlie's train of thought. Charlie hesitated, then spoke.
"A little," he said.
"Aw, come on, man! Don't hold back, talk to me!" Ronny said, laughing.
"There's not much to tell," Charlie said. "Lori thought it was the hottest thing ever to happen to her. Same with me. She seemed more concerned to make sure I was OK with what happened. That, and a weird fascination with your dick, of course." Ronny snorted. She had been a little mortified to have seen that, but weirdly turned on, too.
"Probably the only
man's
dick she's seen," Ronny teased. Charlie laughed out loud.
"You forget I saw you laying your tiny little pipe into that pretty pussy Sy carries around with her," Charlie said. "I already know who the man was in that house last night, and it wasn't you!" Both men laughed.
"Seriously, though," Ronny said after their laughter died down, "are you good with it?"
"Yeah, I suppose so," Charlie replied. "I'm good with last night, but I am wondering where this is going to lead. We could be swimming in dangerous waters. We've been talking about pumping up the excitement in our sex life lately, but that was one giant step in an unknown direction." Ronny nodded in understanding.
"It can be scary for couples when they first start exploring," Ronny said. "Weirdly enough, though, the fear and anxiety also form part of the pleasure."
"Hmm...Lori said something like that," Charlie said. "I think she got off on feeling like it was beyond her control as much as for feeling 'naughty.'"
"A woman like that can be pretty hot, man," Ronny said. "And you? What did it for you?" he asked. "As if I didn't know already!" he laughed as he pumped his hips a few times simulating the doggy-style fucking he had put on Symone.
"Well, you do have a hot wife, and I did finally get to see her tits in all their glory!" Charlie shot back at him. Charlie paused for a moment, trying to form his concerns into coherent words.
"I don't know how to do this, Ron," Charlie started slowly. "I'm not sure how we can 'explore' safely, without damaging what we have," he continued. After another moment's consideration, "I mean, where does it lead? Do we wind up fucking other people? I don't think I can take her being fucked by another man, you know?"
Charlie guided the truck into the parking lot of the marina where he kept his boat. Ronny looked thoughtful as they exited the pickup and got their material and tools from the back. As they walked to the sailboat, Ronny started talking.
"It doesn't have to lead anywhere you both don't want it to," Ronny said. "But, having done what we did last night, you can't just leave it alone. You can't ignore it. You have to talk it out with her."
"Sure," Charlie agreed, "we don't have issues talking to each other about things."
"That's true, Symone and I have noticed that about you guys. Still, this is an area most married people don't really open up about. You don't want to hurt each other, so you hold back, but you have to be open and honest with each other, so you need to be forthcoming. It's kind of a touchy situation." They reached the boat and clambered aboard.
"In any case," Ronny continued, "what I mean by talking it out is, are you both OK with what happened? Are you both interested in doing more things like that? What kind of things? Where do you have common desires? That's the sort of things you need to discuss at first.
You also need to agree to a set of rules, like Symone and I have," Ronny concluded. Charlie placed the tools and material on the deck, thinking about what Ronny was saying. He'd heard, of course, that Ronny and Symone were swingers along with a few of the other couples they all hung out with. He hadn't really thought about it much and had just figured that they were wired that way. Their marriage seemed pretty solid.
"So, you guys are 'swingers'?" Charlie asked as he set about their first task.
"Yeah, among other things," Ronny said with a grin.
"What other things?" Charlie asked. "Bestiality? You dog, you!" They laughed.
"There are a lot of ways a couple can do sexy things together, my man," Ronny said, pointing a screwdriver at Charlie. "And there are many,
many
, things multiple people can do together!"
"What kind of rules?" Charlie asked, taking the screwdriver from Ronny's hand.
"Ours are mostly about communication and limitations. For example, we each try to tell the other about 'opportunities' ahead of time if we can. If we can't, we tell about it as soon as we can afterward."
"You do things apart from each other? With others?" Charlie asked, doubt filling his voice.
"Sure. That's part of how our relationship has evolved. Those solo activities have other rules, though. Like, it can only happen twice with that same person without the other spouse there, no public intimacy with others, like that."
"What kind of limitations do you guys have when you are together with others?" Charlie asked.
"We don't have many of those anymore," Ronny said, thinking about it for a moment. "Early on we had a bunch of them, but now it's down to no single emotional relationships allowed and absolutely no denying a spouse sex because you are with or have been with someone else. We tease a bit, but never put each other down at all. We always put each other and our marriage first. Oh, and condoms must be used unless approved by the other spouse."
They spent the next four hours working, discussing the kinds of rules Charlie and Lori might want to put into place. It was beneficial to Charlie that Ronny was both his best friend and Lori's brother. He was able to take what he knew about the both of them and make some helpful suggestions.
Charlie liked Ronny's rule about communicating 'opportunities' as soon as possible, and he thought it would be a good idea for them to only do things together, at least at first. Charlie thought they should limit their touching to just between themselves.
"Also," Ronny had suggested, "you two should probably have a 'no humiliation' rule."
"What?" Charlie had sputtered. "I would never do that to Lori!"
"When it comes to sex, you'd be surprised how easily teasing becomes a put-down, brother-man," Ronny had replied. "And, I'm not talking about just you."
Another time, Ronny had remarked, "Of course, Lori does strike me as the kind of woman who will want and need to be pushed a little bit out of her comfort zone. You two will have to talk about how to do that without blowing past your boundaries."
Overall, the two men had a great morning working and talking. They replaced two cleats and an eyelet and replaced some rigging. Charlie also had developed a basic list of rules he wanted to discuss with Lori when they got home later.
He was feeling more comfortable with 'exploring' with Lori; more like it was under control and he was feeling thankful that he had Ronny to run these things past. As they discussed possibilities, Charlie found himself getting excited about the fun and games he and Lori were going to have coming up.

Just as they were finishing up and breaking for lunch, Lori called to sleepily announce she and Symone were on their way back from shopping. She sounded like she had worn herself out shopping. After arranging for the women to meet them at
Sea Mist
, the two men grabbed a beer from the cooler and sat on the deck while waiting for the women to arrive.
