To the literary purists – As with all my stories, I act in the role of narrator. This is a short story specifically designed to fit on one page. As such, there is no character development and no witty dialogue. I am not writing the next great novel. If another contributor would like to add names and dialogue and use this as an outline, go ahead. Improbable, sure. Unlikely, absolutely. But it's my story and I'm sticking to it. To everyone else, I hope you enjoy.
I was positive it was a bad idea from the first moment, but I couldn't resist my burning desire. My wife's family consisted of four women and they told each other everything. I knew one husband was extremely well endowed, but they didn't have kids and haven't had sex for a decade. I knew one had a tall boyfriend and he was apparently long all over. The oldest sister (62) had decided against sex for awhile "Since, who has time?", but now is afraid her husband (63) won't be able to perform anymore after prostate surgery. To finally have had two nights of sex in the guest room of my own house with my wife's oldest sister while my wife was asleep in our bedroom would probably have negative consequences.
My sister-in-law is a lot like me and is generally unafraid to say whatever comes to mind. I started to envision her conversations with both my wife (56) and her husband, if it hadn't happened already. I realized we had jeopardized two marriages of over thirty years each. I hoped she could be discrete about the rendezvous, but wasn't really counting on the fact that she could keep her mouth shut over an extended period of time.
I needed an action plan. I could just run away now. I could hope nobody cared. Both bad options. Then it hit me, face the problem head on. Although they did live over 1,000 miles away from us and I have never been to their house, I could innocently propose we swap the sisters like it hadn't already happened between my sister-in-law & I. I guessed I already had our two votes, it would only take the other two to opt in and since I knew my wife had always liked her brother-in-law and he seemed to flirt with her when we were together it maybe was at least a viable option.
I decided to start with my wife. I asked her out of everyone we both knew, who she would at least consider having sex with. I threw out some suggestions that she would never consider to open the conversation. Not the best strategy, but it led her down the path to where I wanted to go. She was annoyed by the conversation until I suggested we should just go and visit her sister and her husband. While she was non-committal on my reason for going, she was willing to at least go for a visit and shopping. Now I had to ask her if she could talk her sister into it, but I already knew her sister's answer. I just needed her to have the courage to make the call.
The sisters tend to talk on weekends and Sunday the call took place. I could sense her excitement for the trip mixed with the apprehension of the proposal. I pretended to be occupied in the other room, but heard the majority of the conversation, which took place mainly in their "quiet" voices. I waited anxiously for the verdict, knowing full well there was still another party involved. My wife did not discuss the call with me, but tended to check her phone often. Mid- afternoon her phone rang and after a brief conversation, we were planning our trip.
We were met the next Thursday at the airport with innocent hugs and travelled the 40 or so miles back to their home, arriving just before a spectacular sunset. While I had hoped we would have carved out an agenda/itinerary for our time with them, the women were not inclined to address the subject to my knowledge. I started to fear that nothing was going to happen other than the visit. I did not travel this far to watch the sisters eat at eclectic restaurants and shop. We arrived, unloaded our suitcases and were shown to our upstairs guest room.
Following a quick bathroom break, we returned downstairs to the kitchen and were greeted with an offer of drinks and a spread of extraordinary hors d'oeuvres. Didn't expect that, but not surprised, it was kind of a family custom. We opted for glasses of red wine and munched on the treats. The conversation was lively and relatively flirty as the wine flowed and the food disappeared.
All of a sudden, the sisters were apparently exhausted from all the excitement of being together and declared their intentions to go wash their faces and get ready for bed, as they had a big day of shopping planned for tomorrow. My hopes for the visit were dashed and I shook my head in disbelief. There was a similar reaction from my brother-in-law. We were almost finished with clean up efforts and working on the last of the wine, when the women reappeared.
To say they stunned us would be a gross understatement. In front of us were two gorgeous, voluptuous women in matching black bustiers with red ribbon accents and matching thongs. They did a slow turn, while winking at us over their shoulders. I heard three things – "Howdy boys", "Hello sailors", and "What's a girl have to do to get a drink around here?" Before I was able to comprehend the situation, a bottle of Asti Spumante was open and fresh flutes set out next to it. If this is a dream, let me sleep!
It was evident the sisters now were clearly in control of the encounter, which in my experience is any situation where beautiful women wear almost no clothes. They stood between us, but had elected to not stand next to their own husbands. I'm usually pretty perceptive, but the shock and awe was still working. The group conversation had now ended and two private flirt sessions had begun. Before long and as if on cue, my sister-in-law had her tongue in my mouth and I could see my wife using the same technique on her brother-in-law. I was glad we had cleared the counter, as it seemed to me to be a logical place to continue. Cooler heads prevailed and the sisters led us off to the spare bedrooms.
