It was one evening, over a glass of wine, that she started it. âIâve never tried a bigger one, so I donât know what it would be likeâ, Susan said. With a giggle, she continued, âyou never know, it could be quite nice.â
âWhat are you saying?â I answered, surprised. âAre you thinking of trying someone else out? Got anyone in mind?â
âHmmm,â she giggled again. âAlan, itâs been a very long time â our 22nd wedding anniversary is coming up and we went out for three years before we got married, so it must be 25 years since I even saw another cock â and as you know, there were only three before you, anyway, and none of those were even your size.â
âWhat on earth do you mean, not even my size â youâve never complained before!â
âNo, Iâm not complaining now, you know Iâm not â itâs just that I sometimes do wonder what a different lover might be like. Simple curiosity, thatâs all. You know that I love sex with you and your dick is more than enough for me, especially now you donât go away on business so much. But sometimes I think that something, or someone, a bit different might be fun to try, you know?â
I let those words hang in the air for a while, while I tried to work out where she might be coming from. Susan is my age, 45, and well-groomed, still attractive and we both work hard to stay in shape. Our sex life had if anything improved lately now that we had more time on our hands. But I would also be the first to admit if pressed that a little more adventure in that department wouldnât go amiss: I hadnât ever strayed, but I had been tempted. However, I love my wife and Iâd always thought that she had a zero-tolerance attitude to infidelity - âone strike and youâre outâ was likely to be the rule. So this line of discussion was very surprising. She had recently returned from a short holiday with two girlfriends, so maybe this was prompted by a girlsâ discussion â heaven only knew what they chatted about on their own. Trusting my instincts, I went with the thought:
âI think youâre winding me up. Do Beth or Jill fool around with other men?â
Susan exploded with laughter. âHeavens, no â Beth says all that is behind her now and Jill is always complaining that Chuck is over-sexed. I donât think she likes it all that much, really and Chuck apparently is very keen on sex. She says he always wants it at the most inconvenient times and what she calls his âbloody great dickâ is always rearing up at her, ready for action. I think maybe sheâs missing the pointâ, Susan giggled again, âit sounds great to me!â
âThe things you girls talk about when youâre away together â what have you been telling them about us?â
âOh, not much. But seriously, donât you ever think of sleeping with another girl, just for a change?â
Again, I tried desperately to think where we were headed here. Susan had certainly drunk quite a lot, but I had the feeling that this wasnât just the booze talking. Sheâd been thinking about this.
âNo, frankly, I donât. Well, maybe I think about it sometimes, who doesnât? But it never crossed my mind that youâd consider going along with an idea like that.â
âWhat about Jill, donât you fancy a tumble with Jill? Think of those huge boobs!â Suddenly, the penny dropped. Susan fancied Chuck. Jill had described him as a 21st century stud with a cock beyond compare, and she wanted a piece of the action. Theyâd certainly flirted before; Iâd caught the odd glance, but never thought much of it. He was thinner than me, definitely in the âtall, dark and handsomeâ bracket, and he was smooth as glass. They lived about half an hourâs drive away from us.
I had never thought of Jill sexually, but she was pretty and with, well, letâs just say, a full figure. Stalling again, I protested âBut Iâve never seen Jillâs boobs!â
âShe was sunbathing topless on holiday, theyâre bloody enormous, I can tell you. Youâd enjoy it.â
âBut, Susan, itâs impossible - the only way that I could ever get off with Jill is if we swapped partners with Jill and Chuck!â I was actually quite worried now; Susan had never, ever thought along these lines before, but when she got an idea into her head, itâs hard to shift. And Chuck was a good-looking bastard with a capacious sexual appetite and a huge cock, apparently. The chill wind of serious competition had started to blow and I wasnât sure how Iâd compare.
There was a long pause.
âWell,â said Susan, seizing the moment and smiling sweetly, ânow that you suggest it, maybe itâs not such a bad idea. Letâs sleep on it, shall we?â
------------------------------
I wondered if that was to be the last of it, but Susan was right back at it when I got in from work the following day.
âThat idea of yours, the swap with Jill, I havenât been able to get the thought out of my head all day.â
I wanted to resist. I should have spoken up, insisted that this wasnât my idea at all but I knew my wife when she was on a mission. I was really unhappy at the prospect. I couldnât get comfortable with the idea of her and Chuck together. Actually, I didnât really want Susan making out with anyone else â I didnât want to risk our marriage. Surely Susan, deep down, would feel the same?
Or so I hoped. The following day, after work, came the next bombshell.
âJill came over today; we had some wine and I mentioned your swap idea. I think weâd be doing her a favour, get Chuck off her back for a day or so. But she wasnât too keen on the idea of the four of us in the same place, so we came up with a plan. Jill will come over here at half-seven on Saturday evening and Iâll go over there. Weâll both return home on Sunday morning.â
âSusan, you canât mean this Saturday, surely?â
âWell, that was what Jill and I agreed â weâve not got anything on this weekend and it was your idea in the first place. Itâs too late to change it now.â
------------------------------
Despite my reservations, the plan was in place and Susan followed it to the letter. After all, she said, it had been my idea all along. On Saturday, she visited the hairdresser and then the beautician â where, I knew all too well, her usual treatment involved a very neat and tidy âlanding stripâ bikini wax. By 7pm on Saturday, she was ready to go, looking more gorgeous than ever in a linen skirt and light cotton shirt.
I caught her by the hand on the way out of the door. âDarling, do be careful. You donât have to go through with this, you know.â
âDonât be silly, Alan, itâs all arranged. See you tomorrow. Bye.â
During the next half hour or so, I put some wine on ice, while I tried to put the thought of Susan and Chuck together out of my head. I also wasnât very much looking forward to my end of the deal, frankly. Jill and I had never quite hit it off. I wasnât at all sure how I was going to keep the conversation going throughout the evening and I couldnât see us getting it on for a moment. But if Susan and Chuck did connect, and his reputed wonder cock lived up to its billing, who knew what kind of a Pandoraâs Box we might have opened?
After a while, I heard a car pull up outside, and Jill rang the doorbell. She was wearing a white shirt, thin enough for me to make out the lines of a pretty white bra supporting her substantial breasts, and a loose navy blue summer dress. I let her in.
âHi, there â come on in.â To my surprise, she pulled me into a hug. âI hope youâre OK with all this, Alanâ, she said. Before I could respond, she continued breathlessly âI feel that itâs all my fault. Itâs just that Susan mentioned that she didnât get as much sex as sheâd like from you, and Chuck always seemed to be bugging me, so it just seemed to make sense to get them together.â
âJill, would you like a drink â I think I need a large one. Thereâs wine, but Iâm going to mix some gin and tonic, OK? Then weâll talk about it some more.â
I wanted to ask whether she was worried about the implications of tonightâs events, whether she was as concerned as me that Susan and Chuck might want to carry on their affair, but it all seemed irrelevant â we had arrived somehow at this point, and weâd just have to deal with it from here.
âHas Chuck been with other women since he married you, Jill?â
âNo, I donât think so, but I donât really care. To be honest, it doesnât worry me that much. My first husband was an endless philanderer and I still loved him despite it â it was only when he finally got snared by that bitch who persuaded him to leave me that we split up. Chuck spends a few nights a week up in town when he has to work late, but I donât lie awake worrying what he might be up to. I enjoy the nightâs sleep. Boy, you make a good gin and tonic â letâs have another, can we?â
I mixed another round of drinks â the gin was hitting the spot, but I still couldnât get my mind off events over at Jill and Chuckâs house. Had Susan and Chuck gone straight to bed, or were they, as we were, having a drink and a chat first? No, I felt sure that theyâd be already into an initial bout of rampant sex. I couldnât see them wasting much time now they had the chance. To be honest, I was struggling to resist the temptation to drive round there and break them up.
