Two Friendly Couples Become Close
* * * * *
Tessa and I have pleasant lives. We are grateful for our generally good fortune.
Tessa is good looking and I believe I am not bad either. We are healthy and fit. I am near average height at about 175 cm (5'10") and Tessa is around 160 (5'4"). We are neither extremely slim nor overweight although Tessa is adequately curvy. To my eyes she has shapely average sized breasts and a sexy backside. She has naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a pretty face which almost always has a happy smile. Tessa is beautiful, although more in a "girl next door" sort of way than the glamorous type. We keep fit by being active. We frequently go to parks or mountains for a day to walk in the bush.
Neither of us was very sexually experienced when we met but when we got to know each other we did enjoy experimenting. The day we married we were still technically virgins but we then quickly found how much fun and pleasure we could give each other with sex. We were not inhibited and had fun trying out activities we discovered by experiment or by reading. We let each other know what we liked. Tessa loved sex, especially when she was happy, which she normally was.
We were not frequent party goers but did enjoy parties, meetings and outings and visits with the friends we acquired through our careers and other activities. Of course, being so attractive, Tessa was frequently hit on. She liked to flirt a little, even sometimes giving a kiss and a hug, but she always managed to cool it down before it went too far. She did it without causing bad feelings on either side. We would joke about it together afterwards. Likewise I occasionally enjoyed a minor flirtation and a kiss and a hug with women we met such as Tessa's girlfriends. We had fantasies which we exchanged but the idea of actually having an affair or sex outside our marriage did not occur to either of us as a real possible part of our way of life.
As a result of successful mid-level careers and not having extravagant tastes we are comfortably off although not wealthy. When our children had grown up and moved off to start their own families we decided we no longer needed our large family home with lots of play space, a residual mortgage and a significant maintenance requirement. We sold up and bought a smaller, more easily maintained house on a smaller block of land, just big enough for the two of us to live in and enjoy our hobbies. Tessa, in particular, enjoyed a small garden which, with my occasional help, was not too big a burden.
* * * * *
Our new house had reasonable privacy on both sides but not at the back. Soon after we moved in we got glimpses of a couple living in the house over our back fence. At first sight they appeared to be of a similar age to us.
One day Tessa and I were working together on our back garden and they came to the fence and spoke to us.
"Hi there! I'm Frank and this is my wife Gail. We saw you move in and wondered when we would meet."
"Oh Hello! I'm Steve and this is Tessa. It's good to meet you too. We did hope we would get to know our neighbours."
After a few minutes of polite conversation Gail looked at Frank and then asked us "Why don't you two drop what you are doing and come in for a cup of tea?"
Tessa looked at me and said "Why not?" so we climbed over the fence and joined them.
That turned out to be the start of what became a close friendship. Like us, Gail and Frank were in their mid-forties. Frank is perhaps a cm (1/2") taller than me and has a healthy shape. He has dark curly hair and a friendly face. Gail is about a cm shorter than Tessa and similarly shapely and attractive. She is a brunette with brown eyes.
They were similar to us in more important ways than appearance. Their children had moved away. They were well educated. Like us they were not fundamentally religious but were socially conscious. Our politics and ethics were similar enough that we could discuss national events without rancour. We liked similar pursuits including gardening, bush walking and discussing our children. We were all keen readers.
Frank and I came to take an interest and a part in each other's hobbies. Gail and Tessa discussed their concerns, went shopping together and amused themselves making fun of us men. Like us, Gail and Frank enjoyed traditional board and card games and so we started joining each other for an evening of games such as Scrabble. We all liked movies and concerts. In particular Frank and Tessa are both film buffs so the four of us would often go out for an evening together.
One problem we had was that the broken down fence between us was almost destroyed by ugly out of control vegetation. We agreed to clear it away and buy a new fence together. We agreed on a gate in the fence to make visiting easier and to provide them with a short cut to our street and us with a short cut to their street.
In short we became close friends spending much time together in each other's homes and elsewhere and giving each other a hand whenever we could be useful.
Sex was not overtly involved in the friendship but it certainly played an unspoken part. Frank, like every other straight male Tessa met, was obviously attracted by her. From time to time he would give her a quick brotherly hug and a kiss which she did not discourage. Gail and I also particularly enjoyed each other's company and we would occasionally exchange a hug and a kiss. In bed Tessa would tease me about the fact that I found Gail sexy and I would tease her making her admit that she thought Frank was pretty hot. None of us had any intention of it going any further.

Then Gail and I upset the apple cart. Frank was away on business. Tessa came back from Gail's house and told me Gail was concerned about a badly leaking tap which was getting worse. I knew we had some spare washers so I took them and a pair of pump pliers over to Gail's house. I didn't bother to change so I was just in my shorts with no shirt. Gail was not dressed for company either having just a shirt and loose pants on and probably no bra. It only took a few minutes to turn her water supply off, undo the tap, replace the broken washer, put the tap back together and turn on the water. We checked it out. The tap was fine and Gail was grateful.
Gail put her arms around me to give me a friendly thankyou kiss and a hug. I put my arms around her to prolong the hug. We leaned back to look at each other. Then, almost without willing it, our faces came together and we kissed again. The kiss didn't stay just friendly. Neither of us was now thinking rationally. I ran my hand up onto her breast and started caressing it through her shirt. She moaned but didn't push my hand away. She said "We shouldn't be doing this, Steve".
I said "I know, Gail. We really shouldn't."
She said "But I don't want you to stop." We didn't.
As we got more and more carried away we got rid of the clothing between us until she was excitedly rubbing her naked pussy against the base of my erect cock.
Gail said between moans "I want you inside me but it would be wrong. We have to stop."
We were almost out of control but I just managed to push myself away and sit up "I desperately want you but for the sake of Tessa and Frank and our friendship we can't go on."
