That Saturday, David had insisted on a sports jacket and chinos.
"I don't think it's going to be that sort of thing," Jenny said, but she had not only agreed to buy a bottle of wine but pushed for a more expensive one.
She felt suddenly very apprehensive about the whole thing. Her main concern was obviously that Laura would blurt out something about Jenny and David watching the Applebaums having sex. But that wasn't actually the thing uppermost in her mind. She realised that more than anything else, she was worried about David embarrassing her.
There was also the lurking feeling of discomfort that Laura evoked in her, a discomfort that was very much to do with her own desires. Jenny had no idea what sort of effect Henry himself would have on her.
She almost cancelled, but she worried that that might sour things forever with Laura, at such a delicate stage in her relationship and she didn't want that at all.
David seemed equally nervous, but also equally keen. Jenny wasn't sure what he wanted from it. Did he imagine this was going to be a 70s swingers night (and what if it was, Jenny wondered) or was it just his natural instinct for social climbing?
They had both got ready much too early and were left sitting awkwardly in their living room for a half hour before Jenny decided that the time was right.
Laura opened the door. She looked delighted to see them and ushered them inside. Jenny was struck again by how much more appealing the Applebaum's house seemed compared to theirs.
Laura was dressed in a strappy top with tight jeans. She noticed how the Joneses were dressed and apologised lightly for not making more effort. Henry was waiting in the living room, in just shorts and a tee shirt. Jenny couldn't quite stop herself from glancing down at his groin to check whether there was any visible bulge.
She was cursing herself for getting it wrong again. David looked like Alan Partridge. This was already going wrong.
But the Applebaums were charming, affable hosts. David and Henry were soon deep into a conversation about golf. David was offering to get Henry into the club. Jenny couldn't imagine Henry needing David's help with anything but he appeared genuinely pleased with the offer.
Jenny went with Laura into the kitchen to get the drinks. Jenny decided to be upfront with Laura and try to head off potential trouble.
"You know I never mentioned to David about our ... er ... earlier conversation you know. "
Laura smiled at her and put her hand on hers.
"Don't worry, I didn't mention it to Henry either."
"You didn't?"
"No. I'm not sure why not, I was going to but I thought it would be more fun to keep it between us girls," she giggled softly but delightfully.
Before Jenny could answer, Henry's firm but playful voice carried into the kitchen from the living room.
"What are you two plotting in there?"
"Secrets," Laura called back, picking up the tray with the drinks on it. Before heading back into the main room, she turned to Jenny,
"Come round on Monday, won't you? When it's just us two? We can talk about it more then."
Without waiting for a reply, Laura left the kitchen holding the tray of drinks, leaving Jenny to scurry after Laura's perfectly round backside as it sashayed it's way back into the living room.
The rest of the evening went swimmingly. Henry gave every impression of actually enjoying David's company and Laura even lightly flirted with him, touching his arm from time to time when she spoke to him.
Everyone pretended that they couldn't see David gawking at Laura's tits.
At first, Jenny assumed they were just humouring David, possibly for Jenny's benefit but after a while, she began to think they might be genuine. They might actually like David.
And watching David talking and telling jokes with the brilliantly glamorous couple, Jenny wondered if maybe she was too hard on him. He could be funny. She began to see again the man she had fallen in love with. He hadn't always been such an uptight prudish Little Englander.
David left the Applebaums in the best mood Jenny could remember him in. And with Jenny feeling better disposed to him than she had in a long time either.
There was no more talk about calling the council on the Applebaums.
He put his arm around her on the way home and she lent into him.
David didn't wait until they were in the bedroom before making his move. As soon as their front door was shut, he pulled Jenny close to him and put his mouth to his wife's.
At first Jenny froze as she felt him rather awkwardly thrust his tongue into her mouth Soon though, she remembered that she liked it and her tongue rose up to meet his.
Jenny felt a sudden surge of desire for her husband that she hadn't felt for a long time. She reached down and felt his crotch. He was rock hard.
She didn't care if he had got that way staring at Laura's tits, Jenny still found his hardness thrilling. She rubbed it for a moment through his chinos but then knew she wanted more.
As David kissed her and fondled her arse, she awkwardly undid his fly to free his cock.
David moaned as Jenny stroked his length. Jenny wondered if she had been too harsh on him, his cock felt pleasingly big in her hands. Maybe Henry Applebaum was a freakishly unfair comparison.
Feeling suddenly bold, she dropped to her knees and took his hard cock in her mouth.
"Oh my God, Jenny," David moaned in delighted disbelief.
Jenny didn't think she's sucked his cock since their honeymoon but suddenly felt wild and horny wrapping her lips around his shaft.
