Spiced It Up

I want to thank my editor, Newel Post for their invaluable assistance, and stev2244 for giving me a pre-post read.
Helen Johnson lay back on her bed, coming down from her orgasm. Her husband Charles was already asleep, gently snoring.
Despite Charles' skilled love-making, she felt a bit of unease, like they were in a rut. While she hadn't gathered the nerve to discuss it with Charles, she thought he might be feeling something too. He had been buying her flowers for no special reason and arranging date nights, but it still felt like the "same old, same old."
She was sitting at a table on The Anchor's patio staring at her glass of wine, when her friend Natalie Kaufmann came over and sat down opposite her.
Natalie couldn't help noticing her friend's morose mood.
"What's the matter?" she said. "You look like your dog died."
"Oh, I don't know. I feel a little guilty. Some people have real problems, mine seems so selfish in comparison."
"Problems? What kind of problems are you having? Charles isn't cheating, is he?"
"Oh, heavens no. It's our sex life."
"What do you mean? Is Charles having... issues?"
"No, he's able to do the job, and does it well."
"I'm confused. So, what's the problem?"
"I don't know. It just feels like we're in a rut. Every time, it's maybe not exactly the same, more like variations on a theme. Some making out, he'll go down on me for two or three orgasms, then we'll fuck until we both come."
"So, what's the problem?"
"Yeah, I know what you mean. First World Problem, right? I don't know, it just feels like there should be 'more.' I think Charles may feel it, too. He gets me flowers even when there's no occasion, arranges special date nights."
"Jesus, you do have troubles."
"I know, I know. I should count my blessings, and I do, but I can't help how I feel."
"You know what you need? You need a Girls' Night Out."
"I don't want to cheat on Charles."
"Who said anything about cheating? We go out for dinner and gossip, go to a club for drinks and dancing..."
"I don't know..."
"If you're nervous, ask Charles. I know he trusts you, I'll bet that he'll tell you to go for it."
"I'll think about it and let you know."
"That's all I ask; I'll wait for your call."
With that, they drained their glasses, exchanged air kisses and were on their way, Helen wondering what she might have gotten herself into.
From Charles' viewpoint, it was strange. They weren't fighting or anything, and they loved each other to death, but the bedroom was like a black hole, it just sucked the spontaneity out of them. He tried everything he could think of, but nothing worked.
He'd ask her what the problem was, but she'd always say, "Nothing," but he knew that when a woman says, "Nothing," it's something.
Charles was happy to see Helen come through the door at a reasonable hour. He stood up to give her a hug and a kiss, but sensed that she was nervous.
"What's the matter, Honey? You didn't put another dent in the car?" he said with a smile.
"No, no, nothing like that. I met up with Natalie this afternoon, and she suggested we get some of the girls together, go out for dinner, maybe hit a club for a couple of drinks and some dancing."
"Oh, you mean a Girls' Night Out."
"You've heard of them?"
"Of course. Who hasn't, they're pretty common."
"You're not worried about the stories?"
Charles laughed. "While I'm sure it happens, I'll bet most are just urban legends. Besides, I trust you. You trust me when I go out with the guys, right?"
"Yes, but it's different."
"Different? How?"
"Women are there to get picked up, men to pick up women, and I know that you'd never do that."
"And you would?"
"No, of course not! Oh, you're confusing me."
"Listen, I trust you to go out with your friends. If you don't trust yourself, we have a whole 'nother problem."
Helen was quiet for a few moments.
"Okay, Honey, you've convinced me. I'll do it, and I promise to be good."
Charles smiled. "You do that, I'll find something to keep myself amused."
Natalie arranged the GNO for the following Wednesday, and Helen came down the stairs in a relatively modest LBD, with her makeup tastefully applied.
"How do I look?" she asked.
"Like maybe I should reconsider letting you go," Charles said, but when Helen started to tear up, he ran over and put his arm around her.
"I'm kidding, Honey, you look wonderful, you'll be fine."
She'd just finished dabbing the tears from her eyes when Natalie announced her arrival honking her horn.
She didn't want to mess up her make-up, so gave Charles a kiss on the cheek, and ran out with a smile and a wave.
As the door closed behind her, Charles sat down, confident that he had made the right decision.
The first few times things were cool, she was home at a reasonable time, not a hair out of place. Even the sex was better than it had been.
It took her a while, but Helen slowly got into it. At first, she'd only do fast dances, when she did do the slow dances, she made sure to keep a respectable distance from her partner.
After a few weeks Helen came home and was hot to trot. Her hair was a little mussed, and Charles could smell a man's cologne on her. Something, or someone, had gotten her wound up, but before he could think much about it, she had dragged him to the bedroom and went down on him without his even having to ask her. As much as he enjoyed the results, he was now beginning to wonder if he had made the right decision.
One night, maybe she was a little drunker than usual, or the guy was hotter, but she let him hold her close. She was definitely getting excited, feeling a little tingle in her pussy. When she got home, she nearly attacked Charles. They had the best sex than they had had in months.
The problem was that the passion began to fade almost immediately. After a day or two, it was back to dullsville.
The same pattern repeated itself several times over the next several weeks. Not every time, but often, she would dance with a guy and get so wound up that she was afraid that Charles might get suspicious, as she would give him a hot blow job almost as soon as she came in the door, but he was just happy to reap the benefits.
He wasn't complaining, she didn't even want him to reciprocate, she just wanted to fuck, and as soon as he recovered, he was only too happy to accommodate her.
The next couple of nights, while not quite as hot, were still better than they had been, but soon fell back into their old patterns.
This became their new normal. Every other week or so, she'd go out and come home wired, but the effect seemed to wear off faster each time.
Unfortunately, after a couple of months the effect seemed to be fading, as if she was an addict needing a bigger fix to get her high.
Finally, Charles had to go out of town, and she was a little more down in the dumps than usual.
She called Natalie, eager to go out and kick up her heels. Natalie was only too happy to agree.
Helen barely picked at her dinner, anxious to get to the club. Sensing her mood, Natalie skipped the after-dinner drinks and called for the check.
Entering the club, the bright lights and the buzz instantly lightened Helen's mood, and after one drink she didn't even wait for a man to approach her and she hit the dance floor. Soon she was surrounded by a gaggle of suitors, but none appealed to her, and after a few dances she returned to their table.
"Slim pickings?" Natalie asked as the waitress brought another round of drinks.
"Yes," Helen said, but her eyes brightened as one of her favorite dance partners, Anthony, came over and asked her to dance. She tried not to seem too eager, but she was soon out of her seat, taking Anthony's hand.
Just then, Natalie's baby-sitter called and she had to go home.
Helen was going to go with her, but she insisted that Helen stay.
"How will I get home?" Helen said. "You drove."
Natalie looked at Anthony and said, "I'm sure you'll think of something," and then she was gone.
Anthony led Helen right back onto the dance floor, and it was as if everything was turned up a notch. They were dancing so close that she could feel his cock, and she felt her panties getting damp and her nipples getting diamond hard.
She said, "If you don't take me home right now, I'm going to fuck you right here."
He said, "As exciting as that sounds, I like this club, and don't want to get banned. Let's get your things and get out of here."
Helen had no idea where that came from, she felt like such a slut, but she had no intention of backing out now.
They didn't even wait for the cocktail waitress, he just threw some bills on the table and they were gone.
As they pulled out of the garage, she put her hand on his thigh and felt his cock growing. She was tempted to pull it out right there, but the last thing she needed was an accident.
