Tom was lounging in his living room fiddling on his phone when the doorbell rang. Tom looked up at the clock. It was 8 pm. Too early for Anna to come home yet from her party. He strode along to open the door as he wondered who it might be.
Tom opened the door to find a slightly older guy standing with a smile and a whiskey bottle in his hand. He said, 'Hey, I am Boyd. I am living in the flat next to you. So, I guess I am your neighbour' as he gestured towards his flat.
Tom looked at him with a sheepish smile. He did see him a couple of times or more in passing. A slightly older guy, perhaps in his late 40s or early 50s. He had a salt-and-pepper goatee. He had the same kind of hair too, more black than white. But his eyes and his smile belied his age. It had a kind of ferocity, not mellowed by age but genial nevertheless. Tom sheepishly smiled and said, 'Oh yes. Hey, I am Tom' and he extended his hand.
Boyd shook his hand and said, 'I was thinking I should know my neighbours. And I bought a whiskey too. I know this is an unscheduled visit but would you fancy a drink? You know, just to talk some.'
Tom looked at the clock and said, 'Well, sure. I am Tom. Let's have a drink. Come in please.'
Boyd stepped in and took stock of the living room and said, 'Pretty much like my flat, I suppose.'
Tom said, 'Guess so. Let me bring a couple of glasses.'
Boyd said as he took a seat on the sofa, 'Thanks! But I think you live with your girlfriend, right?'
Tom's laugh came from a distance, 'We are married for 3 years now. And, she, Anna, my wife, she has gone out to meet with some of her girlfriends.'
'Ahh! That's why you are bored. Good timing, I guess, on my part.'
Tom poured whiskey in both their glasses and raised their glasses, 'Well, cheers to that!'
As they sat in silence, Tom said, 'Do you stay alone?'
'Yes. Well, I have been working since I was 18. Drifted from one location to another for quite a few years in-between jobs. And then, I thought to myself I wanted a break from that life. So, I retired and travelled some more as a tourist though. Big difference! Then, I had always liked this tow. So, I bought this flat and moved in a month back.'
'Wow.'
'And before you ask, I haven't been married. I am not even dating anyone. Kind of single now. But, now that I am trying to settle in, maybe it will bring pleasant surprises.'
'You almost make it sound poetic.'
'It's not. But, well, that's how I have spent my years. I think that's the next thing I want to explore. Enough of being a single guy drifting around.' And Boyd laughed a hearty laugh.
'And I want to travel a bit now, I guess. Enough of being a married guy.' Tom joined Boyd in his laughter.
'Come on. You have a good life. A good home, as I can see. A beautiful wife, that I know. And quite a happy married life, that I can vouch for.' Boyd winked
Tom admitted, 'When you put it like that, yeah, can't complain.'
As the drinks poured, Tom said, 'I have been meaning to ask. Why did you say you can vouch for my happily married life? You know, just curious.'
Boyd smiled and said, 'Ahh! You know. The way you have done up the place and then there are other things.'
'What other things?'
Boyd gestured Tom to come in close. As Tom leaned towards Boyd, Boyd whispered, 'I can hear your happiness through the wall almost every night.'
Tom was embarrassed. 'I am sorry.
'Oh! Please don't be. You guys are a rare bunch that is so happy in marriage almost every night.' Boyd winked
'Are we that loud?'
'Not you.'
Tom bit his lips as Boyd poured another drink. 'We will tone down.'
Boyd shrugged his hands, 'Are you kidding? If anything, make her moan louder.'
'Hehe'
'Seriously, she's a keeper. You are a lucky man, a wife like that in bed, you should count your blessings.'
Tom knew Anna was loud in bed. She moaned and pouted. But that, she would be this audible -- Tom didn't anticipate this. As he thought about it, he thought about Boyd to himself, 'Had he been hearing this every night? He likes to hear her moan. And he said Anna was beautiful. Does he wank off hearing us having sex?'
Tom, drunk as he was, thought to drag the conversation. 'You have no idea. She's dynamite in bed.'
Boyd looked at him and said, 'I can figure. I had my fair share of women. I know women who enjoy sex and women who fake it. She enjoys it.'
'That she does.'
Boyd stood up. 'Hey Tom, care to show me the rest of your house?'
Tom said, 'Sure.'
Tom took Boyd to their bedroom. 'Well, I guess you already know this place.'
'Ahh! Yes.' Boyd took a step inside the bedroom and said, 'May I?'
Tom said, 'Sure.'
Boyd went and stood by the bed looking at the laundry bag. He went there and picked up a panty.
Tom stood there not knowing how to react. Anna had the choicest of lingerie. And the one in Boyd's hand -- well, she had worn it today morning after she took a shower. It was red and cut rather thin. Tom watched as Boyd took a deep smell of the panty. 'Did she wear it today?'
Tom said, 'Yes'
'Did you have sex today?'
'No.'
'Then, it's how her pussy usually smells. Like a flower.' Boyd took another deep breath. He moved on and took the matching bra.
'Did she wear it today?'
'Yes.'
'She has deliciously big boobs, I guess.' Boyd caressed the bra and groped the cups.
Boyd smiled at Tom, 'Her smell is so intoxicating. Tell me something.'
Tom was overwhelmed with the nature of the conversation. 'What?'
'Is she shaved?'
'There is a little bush.'
'Does she have big nipples?'
'Yes'
'Ahh! Brown?'
'Yes'
Boyd dropped the bra and panty in the laundry basket as he came into the living room. Tom settled in a little uncomfortably. And the doorbell rang.
Tom opened a door and was almost shocked to see Anna standing. As if, someone had snapped him out of trance.
'Hey, you!' Anna said as she leaned to kiss her.
Tom gave a quick peck on her lips and said, 'Hey, we have company. We are making friends with our neighbour -- Boyd. He stays next to us.'
Anna smiled at Boyd who shook her hands, 'Nice to meet you, Anna.'
Tom was acutely aware of Boyd's gaze. Anna always dressed in comfortable clothes -- today, she was wearing a dress that was neither revealing nor clung to her body but, looked cute on her. The light makeup she applied, especially the kohl in her eyes and red lipstick made her look cuter.
Anna said, 'Sorry guys. I am really tired. Do you mind if I retire today?'
Boyd stood up and said, 'Hey, I was leaving too. Maybe, we will all catch up soon.'
Anna smiled and said, 'Sure Boyd. Let's catch up soon.'
As Boyd took leave, he whispered to Tom, 'Hey buddy, can you come to my place tomorrow evening? Even for 5 minutes.'
Tom was unsure. Now, that he remembered the conversation he had with Boyd in his bedroom, it hit him -- the weirdness and the perverseness of it. But, Tom said, 'Okay. We will catch up tomorrow.'
As Boyd left and Anna retired to her bedroom, Tom stood there. After a moment of contemplation, he finished his whiskey in a gulp and went to his bedroom.
---
Anna was already there on the bed wearing just a sheer nightdress. She had her hair up in a bun but she was already pulling her blanket close. Tom sat down on the bed and they kissed deeply like they always do every night. Slow, unhurried, hands across each other's neck, tongues crossing, slight bite on the lips. As they broke the kiss, Anna said, 'So, you made a friend?'
Tom shrugged, 'Kind of.'
'Seemed like a decent guy.'
'He is.'
Tom said, 'You know, he said something funny.'
'What?'
'That he can hear us every night through the wall.'
'What?' Anna laughed. 'Did he come in to complain?'
'Haha! No. He made a passing reference. Sounded like a compliment.'
Anna winked and said, 'Well, still, should we be quieter then?'
Tom laughed and said despite himself, 'I think you should moan louder.'
Anna laughed too but said, 'Not today. Damn tired. Make me sleep, baby.'
Tom knew what it meant. He slid down the blanket and spread her legs. She wasn't wearing any panties. Tom always found her pussy so beautiful. The flap-like lips covered her pussy and as he spread it, the pink hole peeked. The slight bush above made it more attractive somehow. And even before he started, she was always a little wet. And when he finished, she was a mess. This is how he had always known her to respond to him -- slightly wet to almost squirting; Tom loved it.
And today, Tom knew, Anna was tired, so she won't do anything. Tom will eat her out slowly and gently and make her cum. And she will then jack her off and then drift off to sleep. It has been kind of a ritual ever since they started sleeping together. Anna needs to jerk him off every night -- be it with her hand, her mouth, her pussy or her ass. But, she will at least once a day.
As Tom silently went about licking her pussy, he remembered Boyd sniffing the used panties of Anna and her bra. And despite himself, he licked harder. He tongued her deeper. And he fingered her. Anna moaned and came.
Tom got to the bed. Anna curled and spooned him and held his cock tightly. As she slowly jerked him off, Tom knew he would come in an instant. He didn't even conjure up any image.
The next day, Tom hated the bitter feeling in his mouth. He shouldn't be turned on about another guy, a much older guy at that, fucking his wife. No, that's wrong. He will put a stop to any lewd discussion. His mind was as clear about it as the day.
Tom went to Boyd's place in the evening. Boyd was cheerful and welcomed him.
Boyd asked, 'Hey, you want a drink?'
'No. Not now.'
Tom said, 'Hey, I had a long day at the office. You said you had to discuss something.'
Boyd gave a cheery smile and said, 'Come on, my friend. Have something. It will wash away your tiredness.'
Tom reluctantly asked for a small beer.
Boyd said, 'Is Anna home yet?'
Tom shifted uncomfortably. 'Not yet.'
'Well, you know, I wanted to throw a small party. A get-to-know each other kind of thing with other people in the building. I am planning it for this Friday. Just a small dinner and drinks at home. Would you please come with your wife?'
'I will check with her. But, yeah sure.'
'Thanks'
Tom was rather disappointed. He thought he would put Boyd in his place but he didn't say anything about Anna. Boyd made small talk about the places he had been, the kind of day he was having.
Tom was thinking why was he disappointed. Did Boyd's infatuation with Anna get over? Isn't that good though? Should he test him?
So, before leaving Tom said, 'You know, Anna said she was sorry about not indulging you yesterday. She was really tired.'
'That's cool.'
Tom said, 'Well, Anna's still not here though. Let me get all her clothes in the washing machine.' And Tom bit his tongue. Wasn't this too direct?
Boyd raised one of his eyebrows and gave a wry smile. Of course, he felt encouraged. So, when Boyd replied, 'Can I come in?' as a response, Tom didn't see how could he refuse.
Tom just nodded his head.
Boyd straight came to his bedroom, 'What did she wear yesterday night?'
'Just that night dress'
Boyd picked up the black nightdress and said, 'No panty or bra?'
