"Oh my God! They're at it again."
Jenny moved up to stand beside her husband as he disbelievingly looked out of the window.
In the middle of the next door's lawn, clear as day, Mrs Applebaum was crouching, completely naked, on all fours, being ploughed hard from behind by Mr Applebaum.
"I mean it's completely shameless. They must know we can see them," David spluttered.
Jenny wondered how much of his outrage was feigned for her benefit. He must have noticed that Mrs Applebaum was an extremely attractive woman. There was certainly no missing her large round breasts swaying in front of her as her husband railed her.
"They might not know we can see them. After all, the wall.. it is pretty high" Jenny reasoned.
"It's clearly not high enough, is it?"
The Jones's house and the Applebaums' had once been a single very large property, before some enterprising soul had rather inelegantly divided it into two smaller, but admittedly still pretty sizeable, separate ones.
A very high wall ran around their joint property and a slightly smaller and later wall divided the two gardens. The activities in the Applebaums' garden would have been completely invisible to anyone outside the main wall.
They would also have been invisible from the Jones's own garden or even the ground floor of their house. They were, however, fully on view from David and Jenny's bedroom window.
"I mean, are they going to keep this up all summer?"
Jenny and David had moved in the previous Autumn. They had had absolutely no issues with the Applebaums to begin with. They pretty much kept themselves to themselves but any interaction between the two couples had been friendly and unproblematic.
That had changed when the weather had got hot about a month ago. The Applebaums clearly had a thing for al fresco lovemaking. They seemed to be at it every fine day. There had been a lot of fine days.
"Probably," Jenny said resignedly.
"It's disgusting," David harrumphed.
Jenny couldn't help wondering why, if he was so disgusted, he was still watching. And what was he even doing up in their room in the middle of the afternoon?
Was this turning him on? It was hard to see how it wasn't. There was no doubt that the Applebaums were a very good looking couple and that their lovemaking looked both passionate and full of athletic prowess.
Not that David would ever admit to anything like that to her. Mind you, she wasn't about to admit how much it turned her on either. She certainly wasn't going to admit to having actually got herself off the day before when David was off at the golf club, as she had watched Mrs Applebaum riding her husband's impressively large penis.
It had been with a certain rueful regret that Jenny couldn't help but notice that Mr Applebaum was considerably better endowed than her own husband. It had felt a little disloyal to make the comparison but it was unavoidable. Still Mrs Applebaum's breasts were much larger and rounder than hers, so she guessed it went both ways.
Was David getting hard? Jenny glanced down at her husband's crotch but it was impossible to tell from the angle she was standing at.
What was undeniable though was that the night after the first time they had seen the Applebaums having sex, David had come onto her with unusual determination and taken her much more vigorously than usual.
It had been quite thrilling.
David had never been a particularly passionate lover and after only two years of marriage, their sex life was already pretty intermittent and disappointing.
If the Applebaums could help reinject some vigour into proceedings, Jenny was all in favour of that. Hopefully he would take her like that tonight too.
"Someone should do something."
"Like what? I can't see that it's a police matter and the council can hardly be bothered to do the things they are meant to to."
"That's true enough," he conceded darkly.
David had written several strong emails about the potholes on the road outside but all to no avail.
"Well, maybe I should say something," he mused.
"Like what: Lovely weather we're having this time of year, Mr Applebaum. Would you mind awfully trimming the leylandii and by the way did you know Mrs Jones and I can see you banging your wife from our bedroom window."
"Really, Jenny. They don't have any leylandii. More's the pity"
He paused as if to say more but then his thoughts seemed to trail off, distracted by the scene outside.
"Absolutely disgusting," he said again more quietly, his eyes glued to the pair who from the vigour of their thrusting were close to climax.
"Really, David, I'm not quite sure I see the big deal."
"Jenny!"
He turned his eyes from the copulating couple on the grass to look at his wife in disbelief.
"You do realise, we can see them right there, actually having sex, right before our eyes?"
"Of course, David, I'm not blind."
"And that doesn't disgust you. THAT.." he turned to look at the pair as Mr Applebaum thrust hard into wife in a way that indicated he was almost certainly coming inside her, "... doesn't disgust you."
"They are married, David. Married couples are allowed to have sex, you know." If he picked up on the implied rebuke he ignored it. "And they are on their own property."
"But we can see them, Jenny. We can SEE them."
"Well, just don't look then."
Something about his small mindedness and hypocrisy was really starting to annoy her. It was only her sense of her own hypocrisy that stopped her going further.
"But what if we'd had guests. My parents could be here, Jenny. My MOTHER."
