Toms Lament

Amy lied awake in bed. She didn't normally drink, but she had, unknowingly, the day and night before. She and her husband, Tom, had gone to Tom's brother's house for a barbeque and to play Texas Hold 'em.

While everyone ate, Amy drank iced tea, like she normally did. Tom and his brother, Rick, had a few beers, as did Rick's friends Mark, James, and James's wife Sarah.

Amy had never met Mark or Sarah, but they seemed to be good people. It was a hot day, everyone else wanted ice-cold beers to drink. It was hot enough that Amy ended up having a few large glasses of ice tea herself.

After the barbeque was over, everyone hung out on the patio and talked. Amy admitted that she felt the sun was getting to her because she felt a little light-headed, not like she was going to pass out, but she did feel a little woozy.

Tom asked Amy if she wanted to lie down for a while, and she told him that the important thing was for her to stay hydrated. Mark got up and told Amy that he'd refill her glass if she would like, and Amy thanked him.

Mark had been very nice. He'd filled Amy's glass every time it was empty. Although Amy had only worn a tank top and shorts, Mark had complimented Amy on how nice she looked, a few times.

Mark was James and Sarah's friend. Rick had met Mark a few times and liked him. And this was the first time that Amy and Tom had met Mark or Sarah. They'd met James a couple of times before the barbeque.

They'd planned on playing poker by around seven o'clock, but they didn't get everything set up until around nine. Mark had commented that they might as well enjoy the day as much as they could, and everyone agreed.

Amy was an avid iced tea drinker. Mark had made the tea that day, it was really, really good, and Amy told Mark so. Rick, Tom, James, Sarah, and Mark smoked some weed. And Amy attributed her continued lightheadedness to possibly getting a contact high.

Amy felt relaxed and got a little giggly. She was having a good time. Everyone seemed to be.

Before the barbeque, Amy had played Texas Hold 'em online. She wasn't that good at it, but she wanted to play at Rick's house with everyone. So, she practiced.

Amy had the traditional first-timer luck. She won some pretty big pots. Because she was a beginner, Amy was hard to read. No one got upset during the game, mostly because no one played stupidly.

After the blinds had been raised three times, Rick asked everyone if they were needing a break, to at least stretch their legs. It was unanimous. Amy stepped out on the patio and Mark followed her.

"For a first-timer, you've been doing very well in there."

Amy smiled at Mark and told him that she had truly been lucky.

Amy told Mark that this was the first time she had played poker in real life, not on her PC. Mark told Amy that there's a first time for everything.

Amy asked Mark how he knew James and Sarah.

"Some people might think it's weird," Mark said, "But we met through FetLife."

Amy looked at Mark, confused.

"It's an alternative lifestyle website," Mark explained. "No matter what you're into, you can find like-minded people there."

Amy wasn't usually this inquisitive, but she asked, "So, what is it that you're into?"

"Me? I'm into pretty much anything."

"And what are James and Sarah into?"

Mark smiled and replied, "You'll have to ask them."

Sarah walked out onto the patio, kissed Mark, and asked what was going on. Mark informed Sarah that he was telling Amy that they had met on FetLife. Sarah smiled at Amy and asked if she was on FetLife, too. Amy shook her head and told Sarah that until Mark mentioned it she had never heard of the site.

Sarah stated, "Since Craigslist stopped doing personal ads, FetLife is where a lot of us have gone."

Amy smiled at Sarah, and said, "Mark says that he's pretty much into anything, but he said I had to ask you what you were into, he didn't want to tell me."

Sarah smiled at Mark, then at Amy. She said, "Mark is very discreet."

Amy noticed that Sarah and Mark were holding hands. She figured they had to be very good friends since Sarah was married to James and not to Mark.

Amy asked Sarah and Mark how long they'd known each other. Mark told Amy they met about a year ago. Amy didn't want to jump to conclusions, but she had seen Sarah kiss Mark, and now they were holding hands. She did wonder what James would say if he saw the two of them together kissing and holding hands.

When Tom came out onto the patio, he nodded to everyone and told Amy that he, Rick, and James wanted to play again.

When Amy, Sarah, and Mark returned to the table, James asked, "You guys have a good time together?"

Amy smiled and said that they were just talking outside.

"I didn't ask what you were doing. I asked if you had a good time."

Amy sheepishly smiled and said that it was good.

James smirked, "What's important is knowing how to have a good time."

Amy wasn't sure what James was trying to say. So, she just let his words pass and she sat down at the table.

Rick dealt cards to everyone. Once everyone was in play, Rick burned one and turned up three Kings. After everyone bet, the turn card was put down. It was the Queen of Spades. James quickly said, "Three Kings and a Queen of spades. Now that's a sight to see."

Rick, Sarah, and Mark laughed. Tom and Amy looked at each other. Amy smiled, and then commented, "Add another Queen and we'll all have a full house."

James laughed and added, "Add another King and that Queen is going to be full of Kings."

Amy knew that adding another King wouldn't be a full house. So, she wasn't sure what James meant, especially the way he said it.

The river card turned out to be a Jack of Spades. As soon as Rick laid down the Jack, James said, "Now we got a woman and a man that both like Kings. Now that's exciting."

Amy wasn't sure what James was trying to say, but she wanted to seem like she knew. She smiled and replied, "I agree. It doesn't get any more exciting than that."

James looked at Sarah and Mark, then back at Amy, and said, "I wasn't sure if you were into that, but it's good to know that you are." Then James looked at Tom and said, "Do we consider you the Jack?"

The action was on Amy, and she said, "I'm all in." She'd been holding the King of Hearts and the Ace of clubs.

Tom pushed his hand in.

James said, "I'd love to be part of that action, but I fold."

Sarah looked at her cards again, then pushed them in.

Mark was holding the Ace of Spades and the Ace of hearts. He knew he had a good hand, but he wasn't willing to get a bad beat. So, he, too, pushed his hand in.

Rick had a pair of tens, but he felt that Amy held the better hand. He pushed his cards in as well. Then he pushed all the chips in Amy's direction.

Amy threw out her cards, showing everyone that she did have the winning hand.

Rick reached out to gather the cards and James stopped him. James looked at Amy and said, "If we were playing with six cards, and there was another Queen on the board, that hand would be a reflection of all of us."

Amy looked at the cards again as she put away her chips, and then asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well," James replied, pointing to each card, "Rick, me, Mark, you, and if there was another Queen, Sarah, and the Jack, which would be Tom."

Sarah told James to knock it off.

"What? She said she was all in."

Sarah sighed, then told Amy that James can be pushy at times.

Amy smiled and told Sarah, "I don't think he's being pushy. But I do think he talks in riddles."

"James was hoping that we'd play strip poker tonight."

"Strip poker? You mean like taking our clothes off?" Amy giggled and added, "I don't have much on as it is. That would be a quick game."

James interrupted, saying, "It's not how long the game lasts. It's what happens after the clothes are off that matters." Then he said, "We're all friends here. Right?"

"You guys have done that before?" Tom asked Rick.

"Um, maybe a few times."

Amy asked, "What happens after everyone is naked?"

"Well. that's really up to you."

Rick looked at Tom and then at Amy and asked, "Is that something you two would consider?"

Tom and Amy looked at each other. Then Tom looked at Rick.

"We're not kids anymore."

Tom told Amy that when he and Rick were younger they played strip poker when they got the chance. And it was fun. But that was then.

"You don't think it would be fun now?"

Tom was surprised by Amy's response. "I'm sure it would, but . . ."

James asked Rick for the cards and then shuffled them.

"I'll tell you what, whoever gets high card decides if we play strip or not. Okay?"

"I don't know," Amy said. "What happens once we're all naked?"

"Anything you'll allow," James said, smiling.

"Why is it all on me?"

Tom asked Amy if she was sure about this.

Amy wasn't sure why she was honestly thinking about getting naked with all these other people, but it was hot and they were all friends, for the most part. Amy then asked Mark if he'd make her another iced tea.

While Mark was in the kitchen, Amy told Tom, "I have no idea why I'm okay with it, but if you are, then so am I."

Tom asked Amy if she ever played spin the bottle when she was a kid, and she said no. He then asked if she ever played seven minutes in heaven, and she said no.

Tom looked around the table and then told Amy, "If we do this, there's no going back."

Mark handed Amy her iced tea and she took a sip of it.

"I don't know why, but these ice teas have tasted really good tonight."

Mark smiled and said, "You can thank Captain Morgan."

Tom looked at Mark, then he told Amy, "You've been drinking long island iced teas, honey. You're drunk."

"I haven't drunk as much as you guys have."

Tom nodded, "In a way you have."

Looking over at James, Amy asked, "You've been dying to see me naked tonight, haven't you?"

"Is that such a bad thing?"

Tom put his hand on Amy's shoulder.

"Amy, you're drunk. Think about what you're doing and saying."

Sarah reached out toward Amy, "You don't have to if you don't want to."

Amy looked around, then she grabbed the bottom of her tank top and pulled it up for a second, flashing everyone.

Amy looked over at Tom, with a big smile, and asked, "Did I do good?"

"Damn! Those are some nice titties," James said with a huge smile on his face.

Amy flashed her tits again, giggling. "Now this is fun."

Tom pulled down the bottom of Amy's tank top and told everyone that she'd had too much to drink.

"No, I haven't."

Tom nodded. "Yes, you have. I don't think you'd be doing this if you weren't drunk."

"Are you going to take advantage of me?"

Tom looked at James, then at Mark. Then Tom whispered to Amy, "I don't think you have to worry about me, but there are other men here."

"I know. And they like my titties," Amy said while still giggling.

"Shit," Tom said to himself. "If I let her do this, it could go bad real fast. And she'd hate me and regret it all in the morning."

"We're not swingers," Tom assured James. "And Amy's drunk. Even if she consents, she not really consenting because she's drunk."

"She's a big girl," James retorted. "I think she can make her own decisions. And I have a feeling that if you had the chance to fuck Sarah, you would. Am I right?"

Amy tried to appear sober when she asked Tom, "Do you want to fuck Sarah?"

Tom sighed, then he whispered again to Amy, "I think you're getting in a little over your head here."

Amy whispered back, "Are you asking me to give you head?"

Tom stood up and told everyone that it had been fun, but it was time for him and Amy to head home so she could get in bed.

"That's what I've been wanting to do all night," James said, unapologetically.

Amy leaned her head against Tom's waist, smiled, and said with a slight slur, "James wants to go to bed with me, I think."

"You think?" Tom said with a gasp. "I don't think he does. I know he does."

James asked again, "Is that a bad thing?"

Amy leaned forward and loudly whispered, "I guess that depends on how good you are."

"Oh, he's good," Sarah told Amy.

Amy leaned toward Sarah and whispered, loudly, "If I let your husband fuck me, will you let my husband fuck you?"

Sarah looked over at Tom, looked him over, and nodded. "Yeah, I'd let him do me."

Tom couldn't believe that Amy was entertaining the idea of having sex with James, let alone of him fucking Sarah.

Although Tom did want to fuck Sarah, he knew that if he did and Amy let James fuck her that she would regret it when she was sober. Tom took Amy by the arm and helped her stand up. Tom guided Amy toward the patio and sat her down again.

"I don't think you're thinking very clearly right now."

"What? Because I want you to enjoy sex with someone other than me?"

"No," Tom replied, "I don't want you to do something that you're going to regret doing."

"In the end," Amy said, "We only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make."

Tom wiped his forehead, shook his head, and told Amy, "You're not Lewis Carroll."

"And you're not my father, either."

"No. I'm not. I'm your husband," Tom said as he knelt in front of Amy.

"If we do this, there's no going back. You will have had sex with another man and I will have had sex with another man's wife. This is a big step, and I don't think it's something you should decide to do when you're drunk."

"The great thing is," Amy commented, "Because we've both been drinking, we can blame it on the booze."

Tom asked Amy if she thought that she would choose to have sex with James if she wasn't drunk and hadn't been drinking. Amy shook her head.

"If I hadn't been drinking, maybe I wouldn't have sex with him, but since I have been drinking, it sounds like it could be fun." Amy paused for a few seconds, then said, "It might be fun to have Mark and Rick, too."

Rick walked to the patio and asked Tom if everything was okay. Tom shook his head.

Before Tom could say anything, Amy blurted out, "You can have me after James does. Okay?"

Rick asked Amy if she was sure. Amy nodded and smiled.

"She sounds like she's made up her mind," Rick said as he put his hand on Tom's shoulder.

Tom shook his head again, then said to Amy, "You've been drinking. Think long and hard about the choices you're about to make."

Amy giggled. "You said long and hard. Those are both good things."

Tom began to get worried. It did seem as though Amy was seriously thinking about having sex with James, Mark, and Rick, and he was seriously going to get to fuck Sarah, but at what cost?

Sure, fucking Sarah would be amazing, but what of Amy's experience, would she want it more after she had them once? Would he find Sarah to be a better fuck than Amy? The negatives seemed to outweigh the positives. And he didn't want a piece of ass or another hard cock to ruin their marriage.

Amy sighed, then said to Tom, "You know, we only live once. Right? We could all die tomorrow." Amy paused for a couple of seconds, then asked, "Do you really want to die knowing that you could have fucked Sarah but didn't?"

"Honey, this isn't about me," Tom said, rubbing Amy's leg. "It's about you regretting all this in the morning."

"So, let me get this straight. You'll fuck Sarah and have no regrets, but if I let James, and Mark, and Rick fuck me, I'm going to regret it?"

"I didn't say that."

"So, if you fuck Sarah, you will regret it?"

"I don't know, Amy. I don't know."

"Well," Amy said, "I guess there's only one way to find out."

Amy looked over at the door and noticed that James, Sarah, and Mark were at the door.

Amy motioned for James and told him, "Make me naked."

Tom got to his feet and couldn't believe that he was watching another man undress his wife, in front of him and others. It had already started, and there was no going back now.

Tom asked Rick if this had been planned. Rick told Tom that he wasn't sure what was going to happen, and he never did when James was around.

"Have you fucked Sarah before?" Tom asked Rick, whispering.

"I have, a few times."

"And?"

"You're going to have a good time."

Then Rick asked, "You okay with me fucking Amy?"

Tom looked over at James and Amy. James was already kissing Amy's neck and fondling her breasts. And Amy wasn't resisting.

Tom tore his gaze away from Amy and James and said to Rick, "Man, I'm trusting you to make sure she's treated . . ."

"I'll make sure."

Just then, Tom felt Sarah's left hand on his shoulder and her right rubbing his crotch from behind.

"I guess this is a lucky night for everyone."

Tom turned around to face Sarah, who was standing before him, topless.

"I, um, yeah, I guess."

Sarah leaned forward and asked in a whisper, "Ever had anyone suck you for an hour straight?"

Tom stammered, "Tha, tha, that would be awesome!"

Tom watched as Amy walked, naked, back into the house with James and Rick.

Sarah assured Tom that Amy was in good hands. Tom assured Sarah that it wasn't their hands he was worried about.

"Amy isn't normally like this," Tom told Sarah. "She's not the type to just sleep around."

"Are you?"

"No," Tom answered, shaking his head. "We're really not the type to fool around. I know you've been with Rick, but he's my brother, and now he's going to be fucking my wife, along with James and Mark."

"It's just sex," Sarah said, smiling.

"Is it just sex?" Tom asked. "Amy's going to have sex with three different guys, one of them being my brother. Are you saying that no one is going to feel anything, that there's not going to be any emotions involved?"

"There's always going to be emotions involved, especially between Amy and Rick. He's your brother and she's your wife, but it's still just going to be sex, unless you three decide differently."

Tom asked Sarah how she did it, how she could just have sex with other guys and not have a problem with it.

"It's not like I'm cheating or anything. James knows I'm with you and I know who he's with. It's just fun for us."

"But what happens afterward?"

"What do you mean?" Sarah queried. "Afterward, we just go on as nothing happened. I mean we know we had a good time, but it's not a big deal. As I said, it's just sex."

"That's crazy," Tom told Sarah. "After you and I do it, I know I'm going to be thinking about it a lot going forward. It might just be sex to you, but to us, it's going to be something we've never done before. It's possibly going to be life-changing for us."

"Change isn't always a bad thing, Tom. And maybe it's time for a change."

Tom looked down the hall where Amy, Rick, James, and Mark were. He couldn't hear anything. So, he held up one finger to Sarah and quietly walked down the hall.

The bedroom door was closed most of the way, but Tom was able to see in by standing by the door and leaning in a little. When Tom looked into Rick's bedroom, Rick, James, and Mark were all naked and standing around Amy who was on her knees, orally servicing all of them.

It didn't seem to be a big deal for Amy, as all of this had been for Tom. And Rick didn't seem to have any problem with letting Amy suck him.

Tom wondered to himself if the tables were turned and he had the opportunity to get sucked by and fuck his brother's wife, would he be able to bring himself to do so?

Tom was facing his bed. So, he was the only one that Tom got to see getting sucked. Amy seemed to really enjoy sucking Rick's cock, and Rick appeared to be very happy with Amy's oral ability.

Tom watched as Amy did her best to deep throat Rick's cock. Then, he looked back down the hall at Sarah, who was smiling.

Tom walked back to Sarah, and she said, "I assume things are going well."

Tom didn't say anything at first, then he sighed. Then tom took a deep breath and said, "Well, we gonna do this or not?"
