THE HARPER BUILDING
Hi, I'm Ellen O'Donnel. My husband, Shawn, and I have been living in the Harper Building for almost 20 years now. It is the three story red brick apartment building across the street to the East from Brookside Mall. There are only twelve apartments in the Harper Building so we know all the families. The train station is only two blocks away which makes it convenient for Shawn to take the train to work and I work in a shop in the mall.
We have a good marriage. I try to keep him happy and he earns a good living. After 20 years most of the excitement in bed is gone. We have run out of new things to do.
During the past two years Shawn's work schedule has changed. While he previously always took the 8:02 AM train to work and arrived home on the 5:58 PM as regularly as clockwork now he still leaves on the 8:02 but frequently will not get home until much later. Sometimes on the last train which is 11:58 PM. I didn't think too much about this at first but then got to worrying about what he was really doing.
I mentioned Shawn's working late at our weekly Harper Building hen party. All us wives get together on the first Tuesday evening of each month for a glass of wine and lots of talk. Anyway, when I said that the room suddenly got quiet. Pam Strass said, "Kevin has been staying out late also. Do you suppose something is going on?"
Julia said that she is almost sure that Steve is having an affair from the state of his clothes when he gets home. Several of the other women expressed the same thing. We talked about how it is only natural for men to be tempted after living with one woman for a long time. Then Cathy piped up, "Well, what about us? I love Baron deeply but some of the men around here could really get my juices flowing."
This brought about an animated discussion about perhaps we should also have affairs. Some of the talk was getting pretty rough. Then Pam shushed us to state her idea, "Ladies, it is clear we have a major problem. Now I assume that we all want to save our marriages and we understand that everyone is tempted. You may think me terrible for saying this but how would it be if once every month that we all trade husbands for a night? That way everyone gets variety but without the chance of a husband running off with someone else."
"Yum! That sounds like fun. Do you think the guys would go for it?" I asked.
"To get some strange pussy? You bet they would!"
We went around the room to be sure that everyone was willing to do this. There were reservations but we finally all agreed to discuss it with our husbands and meet next Tuesday with the results.
The next evening after dinner I told Shawn we had to talk. While I didn't directly accuse him of having an affair, I explained that many of the women in the building were worried and that the women had urges to stray as well. We discussed the proposed solution. I wasn't sure how he would take this but he was calm and thoughtful. He smiled and said, "So you wouldn't mind me spending the night with another woman?"
"Not if you don't mind me entertaining another man that night."
"It would be hot telling each other all about it the next night."
Then he stood and walked behind my chair. He reached over my shoulders and began fondling my breasts through my top. I pulled off my shirt and bra so I could enjoy the feel of his hands on my breasts and his fingers on my nipples. This seemed to be working out rather well.
The next Tuesday meeting of the Harper Building women was exciting. Everyone was there and it seemed that every couple had decided to participate, at least to try it once. We worked out the details. At 7:00 PM all the men would gather in the common lounge while the ladies got ready. At 8:00 each man would be given an envelope with an apartment number inside. By 7:00 AM all men would return to the lounge. When all were present they would return to their own apartments. This would happen the next Friday evening.
The next day after work I went to a shop in the mall and bought a very sexy, see through, baby doll nightie. I felt very naughty.
Friday evening came and I was both scared and excited. I could tell Shawn was excited too. He left right at 7:00 and I started to get ready. I took a shower, fixed my hair and makeup, a little perfume, and my new nightie. I looked in the mirror and had a wicked thought. The nightie was sheer enough that my breasts were clearly visible and it hung down below the bottoms which also showed. I took off the bottoms. I am shaved so there was no dark hair showing and the folds of the cloth gave just a hint of my pussy. I put out a bottle of wine, turned on soft music, and I was ready by 8:00.
