The next few months were spent getting more and more involved in the lifestyle. True to Brett's prediction Cheryl had really began to enjoy the sex and freedom. She no longer had concerns about Scott enjoying other women and she had also begun to enjoy the bi side of the lifestyle. She found that she also enjoyed the attention of a strong dominant male and she and Maria often played with Scott and Greg at the monthly house parties. They also played with other couples and singles but they primarily spent time with Greg and Maria. Brian had joined them a time or two and Cheryl was surprised at how much she enjoyed being with him but he also spent time with others. The dynamic was slowly changing though. Scott had begun to play with other couples and ladies while Cheryl seemed to prefer to have Maria around. They had grown very close and often played with others together without Scott there as he enjoyed others who attended the parties.
"Are we going to the house party this week," Cheryl asked Scott? "Maria wanted to make sure we were going to be there."
"Sounds good," Scott replied. "Do you think Mike and Eve will be there? I would enjoy spending some more time with them."
"I think they are supposed to be."
"Go ahead and tell them we are coming," Scott said.
Cheryl picked up her cell phone and walked out on the deck. As she dialed the number she sat down where she could see the sliding glass doors. She was not sure why she sat facing the door but some of the things that she and Maria talked about might upset Scott. She had not done anything she should not have but Maria and Cheryl had talked about a lot of fantasies and she was not sure Scott would approve of some of them. "Hey Maria," she said when Maria picked up the phone.
"Hey sweetie. How are things up there in the big city."
"Good. I was just calling to confirm we will be there Saturday. Do you know if Mike and Eve will be there?"
"Yes. They called and confirmed last night. I hope you do not have plans to spend time with them. Brian and I have something special planned."
"Mmmm...that sounds interesting. I will try to work that out," she said with a little giggle. "You make me do some bad things."
"I think you will enjoy it," Maria replied as she smiled. She and Brian had been slowly becoming more and more dominant with Cheryl. Scott was an afterthought and although they both liked him he often got in the way of what they really wanted which was Cheryl alone to do with as they pleased. They had discovered that Cheryl would do anything they wanted and they were taking advantage of that.
"I am sure I will. Isn't Mike and Eve into MMF? I know that Scott really enjoys that."
"Yes. I think Mike is a bit of a voyeur. Sometimes he just enjoys watching her play. I was thinking...You know Brian is taking vacation in a couple of months. Maybe you could come down during the day and spend some time on the beach with us?"
"Sounds like fun but I don't know if Scott will be able to take off. I know he has some big projects going right now," replied Cheryl.
"Your point," said Maria.
"You are so bad. I am sure we can work something out. Will you have your normal party supplies? Scott is ok with me smoking some. I would enjoy trying something more but I know he would freak if I did."
"Well maybe when Brian is on vacation we can remedy that. What Scott does not know will not hurt him," Maria said smiling.
Cheryl felt a little guilty about keeping things from Scott but she was sure he did not share everything he did with her. Besides she was not doing anything that he had not gotten her into. Smoking a little and maybe getting a little kinky with Maria and her friends was not doing anything wrong she rationalized.
Finishing her conversation she hung up and went back inside. Scott was cleaning his golf clubs as she came in and said, "Good news. Mike and Eve will be at the party. I think you fancy Eve. She is beautiful. Can't say as I blame you."
Looking up Scott was a little worried that Cheryl may be a little jealous. "She is pretty but I would take you any day of the week," he replied smiling. As he said it he realized that he and Cheryl really did not have sex that much anymore. It always seemed to include others. It was just a phase he decided. In two or three years they would be tired of this and could go back to a more normal lifestyle.
*************
Saturday night they got to Brian and Maria's a little early so the ladies could get ready together. Scott sat with Brian on the deck looking at the waves as they had a cigar. This was a beautiful place and Scott envied Brian's good fortune. Not in a bad way. He was happy for his friend but this really was the life.
"Another drink," Brian asked?
"Sure," Scott replied.
"When are we going to hit the course? I hear you have a pretty good game and would enjoy you giving me some pointers."
"You don't want pointers from me. I have more good days than bad but I am certainly not the person you want giving you advice," Scott said. They talked about golf for a few minutes as Brian fixed them another drink.
"So how are you and Cheryl feeling about things? I know a year or so ago when we first met you were both a little concerned about how things would affect your marriage. Any issues now," Brian asked as he handed the fresh drink to Scott.
Not real sure where this was leading Scott replied, "No. I think things are going along pretty well. We still have our time with just us and pretty much the only playing we do is here. Once a month seems to about the right pace for us."
"Good. We have grown very fond of you two and Maria and Cheryl seem to be thick as thieves. I think both of them like to experiment which is cool. Maria would like to try some X. Are you ok with Cheryl doing some if she wants or would you rather her just stick with pot. I did not want to bring it out if you are opposed to it," Brian said.
Scott appreciated Brian asking first and thought about it a few minutes before replying. He never really got in to drugs or even heavy drinking to be honest. He drank a little socially and may on occasion have a little more but that was it for him. He was not opposed to other things but personally just did not enjoy drugs that much. If Cheryl wanted to try something a little harder he thought that would be ok. She tended to drink a little too much and then feel bad the rest of the weekend. Maybe this would be a better option. "She has never expressed an interest about it to me but I guess it would be ok. It is up to her. I guess as long as you do not bring out any needles I would be ok with it."
"No needles here," Brian replied smiling. "Maria just wants to experiment a little and I know she would enjoy doing it with Cheryl."
Two hours later people began to arrive and Scott was the designated greeter. Brian kept busy getting everyone drinks and showing them around. The girls still had not come down when the special guests they had invited arrived. Brian went up to let Maria know their friends had come in and that they needed to start working on the plans for tonight. As he walked in the bedroom Maria was just pulling on her dress.
"Sorry," she said. "We got to talking and forgot about the time. How are things downstairs?"
"Good. Our special guests just arrived. Everything good here," he asked as he looked at Cheryl?
"Things are perfect," Cheryl said as she walked over and kissed him. As her hand ran across his cock she continued. "I am really looking forward to tonight. I have never done anything like this before."
"You will enjoy it I think. If you enjoy tonight maybe next time it will be your turn," he said as he slid his hand up her dress and fingered her uncovered cunt. "By the way Scott said if you wanted to experiment with a little "X" or something else that was fine. He said as long as there were no needles he was ok with it."
Maria was smiling at him as she walked up behind Cheryl. Wrapping her arms around Cheryl she played with her breasts for a moment as she kissed her neck. After a moment she broke away and said, "I am anxious to get this party started. Let's go down and get Scott arranged and the first part of the night out of the way so we can get to some real fun."
***************
As they came down the stairs Cheryl spotted Scott and headed over to him as Brian and Maria began to mingle with the rest of the guests. "Hi handsome," Cheryl said as she slid up next to Scott. She had enjoyed several drinks but nothing harder so far but was feeling very good.
"Hey baby. You were gone for a long time," he replied as he looked at her carefully trying to figure out if she had been taking anything. "Having a good time?"
"I sure am and looking forward to some more before the night is over."
Laughing he replied, "I think someone has either had a lot to drink or something harder. You are lovely. I am glad you are having a good time."
As they continued to talk Cheryl was looking for Mike and Eve. She did not see them and asked Scott if they had arrived. "I have not seen them. Didn't Maria say they were coming?"
