There was a hint of a smile as he walked out to return to the gym, where he worked as a fitness instructor. The little conversation gave Eric much to think about over the next few days. The concept was sensible in some ways. He was married for around 2 years. Unlike the majority of his friends, he had never cheated on his wife. To some extent, he even felt a little guilty looking at Michelle gliding around the restaurant. Now, he was presented with a concept which meant honesty and openness. It seemed more acceptable than the secretive methods of others.
He was starting to have more respect for this idea. There were no lies or deception just an acceptance of the fact that not everyone was monogamous by nature.
From what little information he had, it seemed that one did not have to go too far too soon. It looked as if it was possible to have the best of both worlds. The charms of Michelle, constantly on his mind, he decided to take some action. He had to enter into what appeared to be a world of open, guiltfree indulgence.
In his neighborhood, parties in people's homes were organized on a regular basis among the people who lived there. He thought he would invite Michelle and her husband to the next one he hosted. The prospect seemed exciting, it being a nice casual way to get to know them a bit better and perhaps even draw them into a conversation about their lifestyle.
He kept it a simple affair, on a Sunday afternoon, inviting just a few others. When Michelle walked in, she looked stunning in a pair of jeans and a t shirt. She introduced her husband, Paul. He looked a few years older than her, maybe in his early 30's.
Paul, who was an accountant by profession, gentle in nature and well spoken. Eric proceeded to introduce the pair to his wife, Julie. Paul's smile when he shook her hand revealed that he was attracted to her. Julie was a yoga teacher who maintained a healthy lifestyle whereby she was gracefully slim.
As the evening went on Eric spent more time talking to his new friends and found Michelle particularly charming. He was finding her more and more attractive. He felt the rush of excitement that he had not felt since he had settled into the stale contentment of married life. He was starting to feel alive again.
Eric had chosen his other guests well knowing that they would leave early and maybe the four of them would be left alone together. He was back to the good old days when he was on a date and wondering how things were going to turn out. Michelle looked so sexy and the anticipation of getting his hands on her luscious body was driving him mad.
This was foreign territory for him. Faced with a married woman he found enticing with her husband, as well as his wife there. This was a very strange situation because he was actually hoping he would find his wife attractive so he could get his hands on someone he fancied.
Some of the guests started leaving and soon there were just the four of them left. This was exactly what Eric was hoping for. His mind was on the two women in the room. They were both quite different. Michelle was a saucy, seductive temptress. Her raven black hair and curvy figure made heads turn. Julie had more of an innocent, angelic appearance. She practiced what she preached. She had the clear complexion of a vegan and a slim, supple body from her yoga practice.
Julie was sitting in the arm chair while the others were on the sofa, with Michelle in the middle. So far, nothing suggestive had happened apart from a brief moment when Paul put his hand round Julie's shoulder and said something about it being very fair if he took her and Eric took Michelle. It seemed more as a joke than anything else.
