To BeautifulStorm go my shock and awe. Not only did the hardest working editor on this site apply incredible editing expertise to this story, but also tremendous effort in following through to make sure it turned out much better than I ever thought it could be.
"Whew!" Forrest huffed.
He could barely speak. He pressed a button on the remote to turn off the DVD player and looked at the others. They were also breathing hard. He wondered if his face was as red as theirs were.
"I heard it was graphic," Selena said, "but I didn't really believe my friend when she guaranteed it would turn us on."
"The two couples in different places but watching each other make love -- that was intense," Reba said.
"Where did that movie come from?" Malcolm said.
"Canada, I think," Selena said.
Forrest got up, turned around and adjusted his pants as his wife watched and laughed.
"I think we should be going," he said.
Malcolm felt like shouting "Yes!" He was hoping Forrest and Selena would leave as soon as possible.
"This was a great idea, girls," he said. "The dinner you cooked was better than anything in a restaurant, and this movie was more exciting than anything at a theater. Thank you."
"Not so fast, boys," Reba said. "We know what's on your minds, but it will have to wait, because we're going to play strip poker first."
"No way!"
Malcolm sounded shocked. Forrest was speechless.
The women laughed.
"I thought you'd be surprised," Selena said. "Reba and I decided we needed to spice up our marriages. We'll tell you later what gave us the idea.
"The sexy movie has made us all horny, and now we're going to up the ante."
Forrest tried to speak, but he sputtered for a while before he finally got the words out.
"Is this about s-s-s-swinging?"
The women laughed again.
"Absolutely not," Selena said. "Reba and I realized that we've been too complacent. It's like we were in the dark. But now it's clear to us that there's more going on than we realized. That's what this evening is all about. Not swapping."
"Do you want to swap?" asked Reba, turning to Malcom."
"Never!"
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. When Selena and I talked about tonight, the subject did come up. We both feel strongly that going outside of marriage for satisfaction isn't just wrong, but shows a lack of imagination. If a husband and wife love each other, they should be honest with each other and work together to keep things exciting.
"Enough talk!" Selena said. "Boys, would you please bring in four chairs from the dining room."
The men looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and got the chairs. While they were carrying them in, Selena pushed the coffee table out of the way, and Reba set up a card table.
They sat down at the table, and Selena explained the rules.
"Everyone gets five cards and can throw in and draw as many as he or she wants to improve his or her hand. No betting. After we all have our final hands, we lay them down, and the loser takes off a piece of clothing."
"Once someone loses all of his or her clothes, if he or she loses again, it goes to truth or dare. When we're done, we all go to bed. Selena and Forrest are spending the night here."
"What? No!"
Malcolm glared at his wife.
"Calm down. They're going to be in the guest room, not with us."
"We're not going to watch each other," Selena said, "but the movie gave me an idea. Maybe we'll leave our doors open so we can hear each other and imagine what's happening in the other room"
"That would be hot!" Reba said.
"I don't know," Malcolm said.
"Think about it," Reba said. "We can decide later. Selena, I think you forgot one of the rules."
"I did?"
Reba raised her right hand to her mouth.
"Oh yes!" Selena blurted out. "How could I forget? Each time somebody loses, he or she is going to do a shot before taking off any clothes. It will help us get over being nervous."
Reba moved a small side table next to the card table, went into the kitchen and came back with a bottle that she put on the table."
"Look at the label, Forrest," Selena said.
He whistled.
"Thank you. Isn't it a bit extravagant? How much did you pay for that?"
"Never mind. Reba told me Malcolm likes it too, so you'll both enjoy your shots."
Reba went to her liquor cabinet, took down a bottle of Scotch and put it next to the expensive bourbon.
"We'll drink this. Since we never drink whiskey and our bodies are much smaller, we're only going to do half a shot while you guys do a whole one. Any objections?"
"Not from me," Forrest said nervously, thinking the bourbon would help him get through the game. He liked looking at naked women. Them looking at him was freaking him out.
"Fine with me," Malcolm said. He wondered how he'd measure up to Forrest in the equipment department. Then he worried what Reba would think when she saw his body. He cursed himself for not going to the gym more often.
