AUTHOR'S NOTE
Deb and I write our stories together. Her memory is better than mine, and I put the words 'on paper'. This narrative has elements of our real life experiences, liberally spiced with fantasy. You might be able to guess which is which.
Because of Deb's and my true-life experiences, this was a very difficult story to write and Debbie did not want any part of this project at first. You'll see why at the end.
This story could easily have gone in the Loving Wives or the Group Sex categories. But I've placed it in the Incest/Taboo category because the incest, past and current, was at the heart of these events. The story gets progressively more hardcore.
In our fantasy world there are no STDs, but in the real world one should take appropriate precautions. All characters are (well) over the age of eighteen.
Many thanks to ontheroadforever and my German friend for editing help.

ONE
I hate happy hours. They're noisy, crowded, and filled with the kind of office workers I prefer to get away from after leaving the office. As a senior manager I need to occasionally accept my team's invitation to join them on Friday evenings, so I deliberately arrived half an hour late and walked straight up to the bar.
"What can I get ya?" asked the flustered barman.
"O'Doul's, please. In a glass, not a bottle." He gave me a knowing smile and poured the tasteless non-alcoholic beer. Glass in hand, I joined my team and to all appearances I was drinking with them. My admin assistant once told me that I was considered to be the only cool boss in the company because the other managers at my level either abstained completely, or they attended every happy hour and dominated the events.
There were fifteen of us around the table, and after listening to twenty minutes of inane office gossip I felt a slap on my back, and heard a slurred "Wassup, dude?" behind me.
"Dave, good to see you!" I turned back to my team and said "Hey, guys, will you excuse me for a few minutes? Seems the finance department needs our help again." There was mild laughter from my IT team, and I quickly stood, and he pointed at the only empty booth in the place. Dave was the Financial Director, a manager at the same level as me. And he was my brother-in-law.
"Where's your team?" I asked, assuming he'd also been invited to happy hour.
"They left. It's month-end and most of them have to work tomorrow." Dave was obviously several drinks into the evening, and was unsteady on his legs as we approached the table.
"How's Maureen?" I asked as we sat. He looked down, didn't answer. Dave's wife and my wife, Debbie, were twins. In appearance, and judged by their very close relationship, they were typical identical twins. They had an almost telepathic communication and I always had the impression that they shared dark secrets.
Yet the two were so very different in other ways that it was hard to imagine them growing up in the same home. Debbie was the epitome of an upper class breeding - yet it always puzzled me that Maureen had gone off the rails in her youth, picked up bad habits and worse men, and only cleaned up her act when she and Deb were in college together.
The fact that Dave and I worked together was sheer coincidence. Five years ago his company had acquired the firm I worked for. "Everything okay with you guys?" I signaled to a server and ordered a single malt for myself, and a Fat Tire for Dave.
He took a deep swig from the bottle and looked around the bar. "Fuckin' busy tonight! And Jesus, does everyone talk at the same time? Fuckin' loud in here!"
I was concerned by his deflection. Was something wrong with his wife? "Dave, is Maureen okay? What's going on?"
"Problems in the-in-" he hesitated. I'd unwittingly touched a nerve. "Ah, fuck it, Neil - we're having bedroom problems!" He practically blurted it out. "I dunno - It's the work pressure, you know?" he waved his hand in the direction of our office building. "She's as horny as a fuckin' teenager, but with work pressure and late hours and...God knows I'm not in the best shape. I dunno. I just never have the time or the energy or the interest. Jesus, I shouldn't be telling you all this."
"It's okay, bud. My lips are sealed." I watched the ice cubes as I swirled my single malt. He drew a few deep breaths, took a swig of beer, and carried on.
"I have to give her credit - she's been really patient and she's tried everything. Maybe I need a testosterone shot. Or Viagra. Or just a vacation. You remember 'vacations'?'' He made quotation marks in the air. "Maureen's even suggested we try that new club that's sprung up across the river. You know the one? Near that fancy championship golf course."
"Er-no, I don't know it. What club is that?" In the northern Virginia suburbs surrounding Washington, DC, "downtown" means in DC and "across the river" means Maryland.
Dave laughed. "Fuck, Neil, everyone's talking about it. But you always were the straight arrow, weren't you? It's a couples-only club, if ya know wha' I mean". He had a lecherous expression. I still didn't know anything about this club, though I was very intrigued.
It was obvious that I'd be driving Dave home tonight, so I signaled for another Fat Tire for him. "Tell me about this place."
