[Note from author: First I want to thank everyone who took the time to give me feedback about my first contribution to Literotica, "Angie Dates Charles." Secondly, my apologies about the alternate title, "Married Woman Dates." I got confused in the submission process and thought I had blown my first attempt to submit a story, so I renamed it and tried again. Sorry about that. One more thing: This story has been submitted under the category of "Loving Wives." I chose this category because it is the only category specifically dealing with wives. For me, this category is appropriate for any story about wives that make love, whether it be with their husbands or with someone else, and whether or not they have their husband's consent. ]

Kevin will be out of town this weekend. It isn't often that he travels on business, so it isn't often that I have a Saturday night all to myself. I've been counting the days and making plans for this ever since he told me about his trip to Florida.
I'm going to have a night on the town with my friend Charlotte Billings. I know a lot of great places to go in town, but Charlotte is single and she knows all the places that single people go--to meet and get picked up.
Charlotte, being the good friend that she is, has tried to talk me out of the idea. She's known me since college and she also knows Kevin.
"Angie, are you sure you want to do this to Kevin?"
"I'm not doing anything to him. This is about me. What he doesn't know can't hurt him."
Charlotte just shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "some guy's going to get very lucky Saturday, that's all I can say." Actually, she had plenty more to say, as an experienced partygoer and an attractive single woman who always seemed to have a new boyfriend every time I ran into her. She knows the scene. She told me how to dress: "Now don't look like a tramp, but make sure you feature your assets." She also gave me some tips on what kind of men to avoid at all costs. How to "stay safe," as she put it.
A few months ago I did my husband a favor and showed a business associate of his around town [see "Angie Dates Charles]. Actually, as it turned out, I ended up showing him a lot more than the town! That event really livened things up in the bedroom for Kevin and me. He never talked about it, so I don't know if he ever put it together. I do know, however, that I could use another night out. It's not just about the sex. I can get that at home. Maybe it's the danger of it all, I don't know. I'd be kidding myself to pretend that I understood why I want to do it. I don't want an on-going thing. No, that gets way too complicated. I just want to have some fun, now and then.
Kevin asked me if I had any plans for Saturday. I told him I talked to Charlotte and that we'd probably get together for some drinks or something. That seemed to satisfy him.
I dropped him off at the airport early Saturday morning. That left me all day to decide what to wear and how to wear my hair and all those little things that women do to look good, including some strategic shaving of my pubic hair.
Charlotte called me around three and told me she'd be wearing jeans. I decided to go with the flow and pulled out some of my best-looking jeans, settling on a pair that was a size smaller than I usually wear (I find the roomier ones more comfortable). These jeans fit me like a glove—everywhere. I paired the jeans with a top that Kevin likes because it doesn't quite reach my waistline and because it shows off my bust line without revealing any cleavage. (Kevin can be a bit prudish in public.) Still, I like the look on me. Very form-fitting. Very sexy.
"Hot!" That was Charlotte's assessment. We met at the Car Barn, a former trolley car garage on the north side of town. My jeans may have been tight, but Charlotte's seemed to be painted on. She wore a blouse with hers. A blouse that was either half buttoned or half un-buttoned, depending on your point of view.
"Do you need some help … with the rest of those buttons?" I teased her. She laughed and told me she just wanted to give some guy a head start. And, looking around at all the male eyes on her, and me, there were plenty of men ready to jump on the chance to complete the job of
un
buttoning her blouse for her.
We bought our first round of drinks, but after that it seemed like every time we came back to our table, there was fresh drinks waiting for us, courtesy of an admirer.
Only a couple of guys asked me about the trace marks on my ring finger. The first time, I was slow dancing with a lanky kid with a Southern drawl, and he was studying my hand. "Recently divorced, Ma'am?"
I decided not to lie. "No."
"You just decided not to wear your ring tonight?"
"That's right. Tonight I'm single."
PART TWO
"Whoa, did you see us?" Charlotte asked me between dances. "Us" was her and a blue-eyed blond hunk of beef who went by the name of Keith. And, yes, I did see them. They were hard to miss, bumping and grinding with the precision of a reflection in a mirror.
"He wants me leave and go to his apartment."
"With you, right?"
"Of course with me, silly," she giggled.
"Just checking."
I reminded her of one of the safety rules she had so sisterly informed me of earlier in the week: "hotels or motels but no apartments on the first date."
She laughed. "Rules are made to be broken. Some times. Angie, you should feel this guy's muscles. He's built like a rock."
"Are we talking about any particular muscles?"
Charlotte nuzzled her face into my shoulder, laughed, and said something that got lost in the noise of the night. The band had just started up and Keith, the hunk, was walking toward us. "Want me to see if he has a friend?"
"No, I'm fine," I told her.
Keith did know someone he could fix me up with, he told us. It was one of the guys I danced with earlier in the evening. Nice enough, but there was someone else I was interested in.
"You two run along and … have fun." From the way the two of them were eyeing each other up, the fun would probably begin in the parking lot.
Charlotte apologized for leaving. I assured her I was fine. And to prove it, I kissed her good-bye and immediately walked over to the bar where one of my earlier dance partners sat, waiting for another dance with me.
More than one guy tried to feel me up on the dance floor that night, but there was only one that I let get away with it. His name was Owen. He noticed my ring finger indentations right away, but it was much later in the evening when we were seated at a table that he brought it up.
"Did you forget something tonight, honey?" His smile was contagious.
I bit my lower lip, playfully, and nodded.
He took my hand and squeezed it between both of his. "Great. Are you ready to go someplace … quieter."
"What did you have in mind?"
"My place?"
My first impulse was to say, ‘let's go, " but Charlotte's rules got in the way.
He was about my age, 30, maybe a few years older
