Longboat Key, A Weekend Sail I turned into the driveway. The grass was showing brown spots in spite of my best efforts. Linda’s flowers, always under attack by her enemy -- the snails—seemed to be holding their own. I had pleasant thought of a grand bottle of Pinot Noir saved for just such a Friday night. There was a strange car parked behind my wife’s Mercedes.
Walking into the house, I spotted a large note was taped to the banister, positioned so I would not have the excuse—I didn’t see it. All husbands know that stairway and hall notes are more serious than refrigerator notes. Refrigerator notes mean weekend jobs; stairway notes indicate a meaningful discussion in the offing. Faint voices filtered down from our upstairs bedroom. I had forgotten –the car in the driveway. Linda's voice lifted in laughter.
On the first step sat an ice bucket. Next to it a tumbler with an already mixed martini, a shaker and stemmed glass containing a single olive composed a small cluster. A few steps up lay a man’s shirt, then a pair of pants. Higher still, men’s underwear draped the top tread. The note with a large arrow pointing upstairs read-- "I've been planning this for some time. I love you." Linda's laugh rang louder than before--she was obviously enjoying something—someone?
I'd been a faithful husband, and I always assumed the same of her. Our sex life had been outstanding in the early years, but predictably we'd settled into a comfortable routine. About a year ago, we purchased some fun sex-advice books and tried games and role-playing. She'd been the hooker in the hotel. I starred as the pool cleaner boy, and we had had sex on the beach in Clearwater. All was pretty tame stuff for 20 years. But this? Linda knew I would be home at this hour. We'd discussed swinging or involving a third person, always philosophically or jokingly. At least, I thought we were joking. Upstairs, beyond the jockey shorts, the laughter stopped and a nice pair of female legs, wearing heals, appeared on the landing— they weren’t my wife’s. A female? There’s three of them? I froze, but deep in my Dockers, ole Bearegard awoke and began to raise his head. The legs descended the stairs.
“Hello idiot.” It was my sister-in-law Alice. Beau relaxed.
“Your car?”
“Yes Steve, I just bought it on the way back from work and brought it by to show Linda. We were upstairs looking at your new bedspread and curtains.” She looked at the note, the martini glass and the spread of clothes and smiled, “Guess it's time for me to leave, Studly.” We pecked cheeks as she departed.
Halfway up the stairs was another note. "Hope you like the clothes. Enjoy your martini. Use the guest bathroom. I'm under construction, beginning transformation to the goddess of love. Cocktails at 7:30 by the pool. P.S. If you can manage, the steak you marinated is in the refrigerator, and if your delicate male hands can cope, the lettuce for the salad needs shredding.”
I picked up the clothes. Yes, sale tags attached in case I didn’t like them—I always did. Twenty years of marriage had taught me to wear whatever was on the bed (or stairway) to avoid the subtle hints that always lead to the inevitable wardrobe change.
Later, showered and dressed, I went to the kitchen. We both like to cook, so that morning I marinated a steak with my favorite combination of two parts whiskey, one part soy sauce and a portion of Dijon mustard. (Once a week we deviate from the damn diet and have real food) I shredded the lettuce and took the steaks to the grill. Sitting by the pool, I read the newspapers and sipped another martini. My computer-like mind booted, and I reviewed the day. The office information system was driving us all crazy. Routers wouldn’t route, bridges wouldn’t bridge and the back up server was acting strangely. I pushed the thoughts from my mind and concentrated on the martini.
Linda entered the pool area at 7:30. I powered down computer- mind and was reminded how pretty she is. At 41, she is still gorgeous with short hair, blue eyes and a smile that could dazzle any into submission. Unlike most redheads, she has no freckles, and her skin is as smooth as the day I met her. She'd recently gone on a six-month diet (read, we went on a diet) and she looked stunning.
“Ready useless man?”
“Of course my love.”
We had cocktails and talked of anything except work. I peeked down her top. Linda is a classy woman who never dresses in anything trashy, although I like trashy. But tonight, she had on a long green skirt with a slightly lower décolletage than usual. It’s the type of dress she usually only wears at home for me, although it’s perfectly suitable anywhere in Tampa. She caught me looking and did her fake, “watch it buddy routine.” But, I always figure if women dress like that; you're supposed to look. It's all the more fun when they show up “on display” and get huffy when you glance into the valley. Anyway, I enjoyed peeking and she enjoyed showing. In my pants, Beauregard shifted.
Linda produced the California Pinot Noir. I stepped to the grill, threw the steaks and listened to the satisfying sizzle. After dinner, I was completely at ease. Thoughts of the office banned from memory, the wine danced on my tongue, the meal had been delicious, my captivating, the world perfect-------
“Honey can we talk?”
Oh hell, meaningful discussion. I turned on computer-mind and stumbled through a number of intricate scenarios—it wasn’t her birthday, not mothers day, I had said nothing bad about her mother…
Seeing my face she laughed, “Don’t worry it isn’t one of those talks.”
I relaxed and let computer-mind wander to the pool pump, that had been acting strangely lately. Maybe if I changed the seal…
“Are you listening to me?”
“Yes honey.”
“What was I saying?”
‘Uh.”
Rolling her eyes she continued, “I was saying, do you remember Maggie Schmetterling?”
Computer-mind searched my data banks. Maggie Schmetterling was a cool, efficient, but good looking woman that my used to work with. We had been very good friends for years with her and her husband Roger. Maggie always seemed secure in her role as high- powered executive, complete with protective shell. Efficient, direct, in charge, she had all the assets that marked her as an up-and-coming person. (Speaking of assets, computer mind dug into the archives and remembered she also had a great ass, but that was a file and not to be displayed at this delicate moment.) Roger and I partnered many times at charity golf events and had been quite good friends.
“Yes, but it's been some time since we saw them.”
“Well as you remember, she and Roger moved to the Fort Lauderdale office last year.”
My mind returned to the pump seal. Just to be cautious, I directed a subsystem routine to monitor Linda’s comments.
“She and I ran into each other at the convention last week in Miami and spent some time together. We had lots to talk about.”
Computer-mind centered on the pump’s main seal.
“Do you really love me?”
Alarm bells, code red--I'm fully alert now, “Honey, you know I do.”
“I want you to promise to still love me, after I make the next statement.”
This, of course, is one of those no-win situations husbands dread. “I will, I will.”
“I never thought I would be saying this, but Maggie and I had too much wine one night, and we sort of discussed our sex lives, and well, we both thought it would be sort of fun if the two couples sort of took a uh ‘adult’ weekend sail.” She picked up some dishes and quickly went to the kitchen.
Adult weekend sail? What the hell does that mean? Adult weekend sail? . I switched on computer-mind and thought of Maggie. Tall, dark hair, she had blue eyes that looked right through you. But then there was that good body, long legs all assets. On the other hand, hair perfectly coifed, tailor made business suits, executive bearing, large strong husband, there were plenty of deficits to ponder. Then computer-mind came up with the answer; there is more than one meaning to adult.
Linda returned with coffee, and sat quietly. Switching off computer-mind, I ventured “By sort of adult, you mean no kids.”
“No, I mean sex with them.”
I missed the table with my glass, spilled a ruby dollop of Pinot Noir on my pants and spent a minute with a napkin moping my lap.
“You two did drink a lot of wine.”
“Sure, but you do like the idea, don’t you?” As usual, my computer security system failed and she could read my mind. “We’ve talked about it before, and so did Maggie and Roger. We compared notes, and it seems safer to find a couple that doesn't live in the same town. It’s not like meeting strangers, since we’ve known them so long. I checked with her, and we both have an open weekend in May.”
There is one thing for sure about my wife. She’s often slow to take to new things, but when she does embrace a new idea, sport or activity she goes all the way. She hated snow skiing. But, setting her mind to it, she practiced and became better than I. The same holds true for sailing, our latest passion. When I purchased my first boat, a Catalina 22, she was terrified when the boat first heeled. But soon, she got completely into the sport, and I couldn’t keep her out of the boat. Now, we own a 40-foot Beneteau named "Hammerhead," or at least the bank owns it.
She's also an inveterate planner. Checklists, how to books, videos, discussions with her sisters are all standard practice for any of her endeavors. I love sailing for the challenge, the navigation problems, the wind, the sea and the topless women. Linda is the brains who makes sure we have exquisitely planned meals, an itinerary within reason and all the proper guide books, towels, sheets, etc. on board.
In other words, she had the weekend planned. I thought about Maggie’s nice rear end, but caution prevailed.
“Well, I guess.”
Computer-mind turned to Roger--damn he’s big. One day, while he was putting, I'd noticed how large his hands were. We played well together and with his massive hands and big wrists he appeared to lazily stroke the ball off the tee for routine drives well over 220 yards. But he couldn’t putt, and I can. His hands just never seemed to cooperate as his putting stroke consisted of stabbing vainly at the ball. I remembered the locker room bromide--big hands or feet mean a big cock. Of course there isn’t any truth to those sayings—I think.
Linda broke the silence, “I’m really not sure about all this, I just brought it up to talk, you're not upset are you? After all you started this."
"Me? I was just sitting here enjoying my wine."
"Yes but, you were the first to bring up the subject about a year ago." True to form, just when I thought I knew where we were heading, she did a 180-degree turn and left me hanging.
“Well, it's an interesting thought—let’s think it over and come to a rational decision.” Which is always a good way to stall.
So, we spent a week rationalizing, meaning the first three days, we acted like the question hadn’t come up. Then we talked around it—careful never to close on the actual issue. We had discussed sex with others, mostly as a joke. We both agreed, just for discussion purposes, of course, that was bad because it way lying. Swinging was in a different category, since all involved know what's going on. After all, the whole point is a little sexual experimentation for fun, which has nothing to do with love. Linda had never exactly never actually agreed to the last two last statements. But, she hadn't disagreed either.
The next Friday, as we left for work, she said, “I told Maggie we would call her tonight, so I guess we better make a decision.” Oh crap, I thought, a real test of “husbandmanship.” I spent the day acting like I was listening to the computer whizzes explain our latest configuration problem.
By cocktails that evening, I had my plan. We were enjoying an excellent Mosel from my favorite wine stube on the Saar -- “Honey it’s decision time.”
“Yes,” she looked worried. “you first”
I’ve been down the “you first” trap before, no dice this time. I handed her a piece of paper. “You write down what you want to do, and I’ll do the same. Then we'll hand the notes to each other and read them aloud.” She frowned, but took her slip and the pen I offered. Aware of her trickery, I added, “No ambivalent statements. You either write—I want to sleep with Roger, or I do not want to sleep with Roger. On second thought, I always hated that word sleep. It’s either I want to have sex with Roger, or I do not want to have sex with Roger. I’ll do the same. Agreed.”
“Check”
With a studious, look she wrote on the paper, folded it in half and handed it to me. I did the same.
“Ok ,”she said, “ for once, me first.” She opened my slip and read, “I want to have sex with Maggie.” She looked up, and to avoid her gaze, I looked down to read her answer, “Can we make this decision later?”
“Damn, you did it to me again.”
She grabbed her slip back, wrote more and handed it to me. “So sorry, I want very much to do it with Roger.”
“Do it?”
“What happened to the rule.”
“I followed it.”
“Is do it, sex?”
“Yea”
“You’re sure this is all ok?”
“It’s fine.”
“So, you like Roger?”
“He's so cute, I always want to pat his head, except I can’t reach it.”
“Roger turns you on?”
“Well, just a little?”
“What’s just a little?”
“Well, we sort of danced at one of the office parties once. And I was, sort of, thinking, what I would do if he, sort of, tried to kiss me. But he’s so nice he would never try that.”
“And you, sort of, hoped he would?”
“Sort of.”
“And what would you have done if he had, sort of, tried to kiss you?”
“I would've let him. Nobody, except you, has tried to kiss me for a long time. Does this upset you?”
“No, not talking about it.”
“If I had let him kiss me, and later told you and even said I encouraged and kissed him back, what would you say?”
“I’m not sure. Did he kiss you?”
“We went around a corner and were out of sight. I enjoyed it, so I kissed him back. It was fun.”
She watched me, “ So, it does turn you on, I can see it.”
“Well, uhhh not really. Did you make this up?”
“No----------------------Yes, you’re so easy.”
My head spinning, I thought of Roger kissing her, but then he really hadn’t--- then I thought of Maggie. I felt a rustling in my pants, ole Beau put in a vote.
The two weeks before the sail were nerve testers. I had some second thoughts, but the visions of what must be under Maggie’s tailored suits pushed them away. At least I think there’s a real woman under those clothes.
Again, I thought of the stupid golf joke. I wondered exactly how big is Roger's "putter?" But then, I'm not sure how long my putter is either. In a ridiculous moment one evening, I decided to measure ole Beau. Now, getting hard was easy as a teen. Just saying the word “girl” out loud did the trick. But at 42, it required some stimulation. I dragged out our only porn movie. (A real camp piece called Flesh Gordon.) So all six feet, two hundred pounds of me stood in front of the TV, putter at hand. Sometime after a flock of "Penisaurus's", controlled by the evil Emperor Wang, attacks Flesh and Dale, Beau got the idea and rose majestically. Unable to find a ruler, I took up my trusty, yellow, retractable-tape measure. Where the hell does one measure, I thought, on the top or the bottom? I laid the cool metal atop Beau and eased the metal head into my stomach to obtain the maximum possible results. Unfortunately, I also accidentally pressed the retract button. The metal clip on the tape caught Beau’s head and the pain caused him to drop immediately for cover. Somehow, I lost interest at this point.
The day before the sail, Linda was going crazy over the details of boat supplies, food, and water. I inventoried the rum and beer supplies and packed my bag. Minutes later, she unpacked my bag and threw all my underwear in the drawer. Back in went recently purchased, brand-new underwear. They were washed, of course, as there is some rule, known only to females, that one can't wear things straight out of the plastic wrap. She gave the explanation, “Well, you never know. I want you to look good.”
On the day of the sail, we went to the boat early and later watched Roger and Maggie walk down the dock. Maggie was perfectly dressed as always--every hair in place, color coordinated outfit, matching bag, expensive shoes, her manner regal. In spite of her and tanned skin, she looks like an “Ice Queen” I thought. I, on the other hand, felt a bit shabby in my worn boat shoes and khaki shorts, but I was sporting a set of my spanking new underwear.
Ice Queen’s stride was purposeful, direct and strong. She carried her own bag. Ambling next to her was all six feet three of Roger; his graying brown hair blowing in the wind. He was obviously in a mood for a sail, as I saw him check the direction of the flags on the marina building, glance at the wind arrow atop our mast then slowly lower his gaze to Linda. His handsome face broke into a smile, and beside me, I could almost feel her melt. Ice Queen exhibited a dazzling smile and her blue eyes sparkled. She extended a hand with manicured nails. “So good to see you again.” It was high tide, so I pulled her up to the deck. Next Roger reached up, damn what massive paws that bastard has. But what the hell, he can’t putt.
On Tampa Bay, “Hammerhead,” handled superbly. Both Roger and Maggie are good sailors, so the four of us made a smooth series of tacks to the Skyway Bridge. The heading changed into the wind, and we turned on the “iron genny” (motor) and made the Gulf at the head of Tampa Bay. Turning south, we settled in for a long beam reach towards Longboat Key. Sailing conditions were perfect, and we managed to engage in a number of matches with other boats. “Ice Queen” was coolly efficient and paid strict attention to sail trim. After two hours in the wind, her hair was fashionably mussed, but still stylish. She changed into a conservative one-piece suit, and her lithe body showed the hours she spent in the gym. Beau did note the outline of nipples protruding from her small breasts.
On the other hand, Linda with hair flying wore my favorite bikini. When she turned the winch, the muscles in her back flexed, her spilled over the top and an occasional half a nipple showed. Soon, sweat built up from exertion molding her suit to her pretty cheeks. Ole Beau constantly checked both women and was "a little stiff" all day. The four of us worked the boat extremely well, and the joy of a good wind made the day memorable. Roger was as good-natured as ever and kept the beer coming. Ice Queen worked hard during sail changes and perfectly popped the spinnaker during a crucial turn in a match with the crew of a Hunter. I almost hated to see the day end, as the beer was cold, the women beautiful the wind a steady 15 knots. What else could a ask for.
We made Longboat key and navigated the difficult channel under the draw bridge. A few miles down the intercoastal waterway we arrived at the Pirate's Inn, a waterside motel- nightclub, restaurant complex. Normally, we would have anchored and slept on the boat, but this was not a "normal" trip. The Pirate's Inn is a favorite of the locals and boaters, as it has deep-water slips, good food and entertainment. We pulled into our slot, secured the boat and went to the front desk. Both Roger and I pulled out our credit cards and filled out the registration forms. Then grabbing two of the luggage carts with wheels that never work (how could we have this much for an overnight trip?) we all went to our rooms. I struggled with the damn credit card key and finally got the door open. Once inside, I turned and looked at the Ice Queen.
“Well, let’s unpack, change and go for drinks.” The efficient businesswoman began to organize the room. With my this process was all second nature, but with Ice Queen, several important decisions had to be made--one drawer for her, one for me and one for dirty clothes. Lastly, a delicate discussion ensued as to the all important-- which side of the bed do you prefer, so as to know where to put little stuff like car keys, wallet and purse. We solved these vexing situations, all the while chattering like this was a normal motel check-in.
I stood for a moment. I was in a hotel with another woman, and my wife was next door with her husband. I saw Maggie bend over to put clothes in the lower drawer, Beau moved—I moved quickly.
I showered and changed, while she busied herself in the living room and wandered on the balcony. Then she changed, and on schedule we walked down the hall to the bar. We'd accomplished everything in a nonchalant manner without actually “seeing anything.” As I followed Ice Queen down the stairs, I noted that she looked damn good in a long, black dress belted at the waist. Of course, it was buttoned to her neck. In spite of the modest outfit, Beau stiffened. Christ I thought, just like high school. The lump in my pants must have been visible even to NASA through satellite imagery. I imagined a “woddie alert” deep in Cheyenne Mountain as military brass contemplated the potential threat.
When Linda entered the room, I saw she was wearing the same green dress that was usually worn only at home for me. She looked wonderful. Roger guided her to the table, and we all stopped. None of us were sure of protocol between two couples that later planned to jump in the sack with the opposite spouse. I kissed Linda’s cheek and Roger Ice Queen’s, just like we were not married to the opposite person, or to… whatever. Ice Queen slipped in the booth, and I sat next to her.
Dinner was my favorite a lightly breaded Florida grouper. Unfortunately, Maggie chose the wine. Linda and I looked at each other for an instant as she ordered a California Gewvrtramier, far too sweet for our taste. I asked for french-fries with my fish, and Linda, for once, seemed too engrossed with table conversation to mention the fat content. The four of us talked about sailing. I sampled the wine and found it softly sweet, with silky pear and spice flavors. However, it was difficult to concentrate as I looked across at my sitting next to Roger. I marveled at the erotic situation. Later, we lingered over after- dinner drinks. Jealous, I watched Linda and Roger turn to each other, share jokes and touch. At one point, I was sure he was fee;omg her leg under the table. I could tell she enjoyed it.
Ice Queen and I talked politics. I always loved her quick intelligence. Unfortunately, we agreed on most positions and the conversation was uninspired. I was beginning to feel a bit insecure over my seduction techniques, especially after an errant french-fry managed to leap off my fork and stain my shorts. (Hopefully not leaking through and ruining my second pair of new jockey shorts.) She and I managed to sit through dinner, crammed into a small booth and never actually come in contact, not even our elbows. I felt as inept as when I used to ogle my English teacher in eighth grade. After dinner, we went into the bar. The DJ was quite good the dance floor crowded. Roger and Linda were soon dancing. I racked my brain for a cool comment. I wondered if I should just be bold and put my arm around her. I did neither. After all, I reasoned, I'm just a little out of practice. A couple of times I saw Roger’s hand on Linda's rear. Once during a slow dance, I caught her surreptitiously exploring his zipper.
What the hell, I asked Ice Queen to dance and she accepted. We danced , but didn't actually touch. We mostly stuck to the fast ones. Our only slow dance was a difficult affair as she demonstrated excellent dancing skills, and I concentrated on keeping my big feet off her sandals. We continued our political chatter. We rehashed Watergate, Irangate and Whitewater gate. Then, I cleverly steered the conversation to Monicagate, thinking a discussion of whether oral sex is really sex would lead to...something. It didn’t. We both agreed that oral sex was sex and that “is” means “is.” She began a discussion of eroding federalism, a subject I normally love, but not tonight.
Linda got us all together, and the four of us walked out to look at the boats. “So, is Maggie your real name or a nickname?” Another really clever conversation starter, I reasoned.
She didn’t answer, but Roger turned and said, “It’s short for Magnolia.”
Daggers jumped from her eyes. She stuttered, “I’m from Georgia and my liked the trees, and well, I hate it, please don’t tell anyone.” She looked at me imploringly. At last, a chink in Ice Queen’s armor. I took her hand. "Don’t worry, I have a really bad memory." She smiled, and I felt a little thaw as we walked in the moonlight. Our shoulders actually touched for the first time that evening. Linda and Roger took a different path and went towards the opposite end of the wharf, ostensibly to inspect a large ketch.
It was late, when we returned to the room. The light was on under the door to Roger and Linda’s room, so I knew they had beat us back.
In the suite, I uncorked a bottle of champagne. Maggie stood and watched, then held out her glass and took a large sip. For once, she looked a little lost. The Ice Queen had disappeared, and I had to admit I missed her. Intelligent, strong women turn me on. That’s why I Linda. Besides I really didn’t want to hurt Maggie.
“Nervous?”
“Yes, very much. I‘ve always known exactly what to do since I was a little girl, but now…”
“I’ll tell you a secret, I’m so on edge that I think my legs are going to collapse.”
“Thanks for admitting that. Most would have played the macho role. I was afraid you were going to grab me. Then I would have done something stupid like knee you in the balls. That would've ruined everything.”
“Definitely.” I conceded the point.
“I decided to this first, because you're cute and uh well uh, a nice person. (Whew, good to hear that part.) But I'm making such as mess of it all. I just can’t handle sex stuff. I feel so sorry for Roger sometimes. It’s just that I'm not good in bed. Never could relax. I don’t even have an excuse, like I was molested or beaten as a child. I had wonderful parents. Since I was little, I wanted to be perfect; people’s opinions mattered so much. Sex interfered with my idea of perfection. I think it’s because I have to rely on someone else. I guess it is something in the female physic or maybe it's just me. Now my butt is getting too big...poor Roger I never really let myself go. He never has too much fun with sex, with me, I think. As for oral sex, I just don't know what to do to make it right."
Always looked simple to me, I couldn’t see how she could do that wrong. But then, I've never been in that--position.
“Let’s face it” she continued, “I'm what you call a lousy lay. I hope he has a good time tonight, Linda is so much fun that…. Uh, I guess you didn’t exactly want to hear that,” she looked crestfallen and averted my gaze.
I thought, well if I know Miss Efficiency, she will have Roger’s pants down around his knees by now. “Not really, I hope both of them have a good time. We've been a long time. Roger is a nice guy, and she's a fun loving person. This is all to have a little recreational sex fun. I hope they do.” I guessed that sounded good to her. I was a little unsure myself.
“You're so and fun about these things, I wish I was,” she said quietly. Anyway, most of this started when I was about 10. Somehow, I got the idea in my head that I had to do everything right. Now, everyone’s definition of what is right is different. So, I had some long talks with my friend Sue and she said…
Damn, all this talk—not even a banister note to start it off. Computer-mind switched to the problem of the pool pump seal maybe if I just lubricated it, the seal would …
She looked up. “I’m sorry, I’m going on. What do we do now?”
I thought of the comfortable bed or the couch. Maybe I should give up now and get a good nights sleep. Instead, I turned on the radio to a soft rock station. I thought of how much fun Linda and Roger were probably having, perhaps just behind my head through the wall separating our rooms. Then, the sex book Linda and I had used came to computer-mind. Beau urged me on. “Do you have any fantasies or dreams? They don’t have to be sexual ones, just something to talk about."
“Well, I always wanted to be a professional dancer.” I saw her hips swing a little to the music. "I took ballet for years and some interpretive dancing techniques classes as an undergraduate. Everyone said I was good and should go pro. Even my said to me one time…
“Then dance,” I interrupted, turning up the sound. She was quite good, as I had learned on the dance floor. She smiled and seemed to relax. Thankful that I was no longer her dance partner, stumbling around the room, I watched as she went from tune to tune, non-stop
I could see she was lost in thought and smiling to herself. What the hell? Go for broke, “You‘re a good dancer, ever have a fantasy about being a stripper?” I saw her eyes widen.
“And I thought you were a nice man.”
Strike now man-- my computer-mind booted and kicked me. I turned on the radio to a hard rock, oldies station and upped the volume. In an exaggerated Southern accent (which isn’t altogether fake), “Honey, I just blew into town, got a pocket full of money, let the show begin.” A staged, sexy smile broke on her face; she began to really get into it. I sat, glad to relieve my knees and to shift Beau now paying strict attention. The new station played all music with no commercials. After the second dance, Maggie was still dressed.
“Take it off Baby.”
“I can’t.”
“Hey $10 if you will at least unbutton a few on the top.”
“I guess it’s ah-- a little severe, I can do that.” The damn dress was still buttoned to her neck. She unfastened the top three buttons, exposing at least three inches of skin. I've seen more at a funeral. I put ten bucks on the coffee table.
She danced away, smiling and happy. “This is so fun, I love to dance.” I loved watching. She was having trouble with the tight bottom of the dress and paused. “Don’t get too excited, but I have to do some modifications.” Bending over she pulled up the dress , then ripped the seam. When she dropped the hem, I could see that the slit now went most of the way up her hip. “Oops, looks like I overdid that.”
Free of the skirt’s confinement, she continued.
“Babydoll, how about $10 for a lap dance?” It couldn’t to ask.
“Technically speaking, exactly how does that work? I’ve imagined all sorts of things.”
“Dance real close to the customer. Put your ass over his lap, or shake your in his face. You just can’t touch the customer or you’ll get arrested.”
“I wonder if Roger knows about these things?”
“I wouldn’t think so,” remembering the ‘Tits are Us” club, or whatever the name of the place was he and I patronized a couple of times after golf.
She moved closer, positioned her ass just above my lap and gyrated. It was all I could do not to grab. “Ok buddy stand by for the boob thing,” she turned, placed her hands on the arms of the chair and shook her in my face. "I guess I wouldn’t be such a bad stripper.”
“Except you’ve got all your damn clothes on. Another $10 for more buttons.”
She undid the next four or five, and her dress was open to the belt. As she swung around the room to the music, I strained to look inside, but the stupid flaps remained mostly closed.
“Come here Babe.” She danced forward, and I stuffed $20 in her belt. “For the belt, gorgeous.” She pulled it off and threw it at me.
Now the dress was open, and I could see her black bra. I exaggerated my efforts to look between the flaps. I could see her watching my eyes.
“Got another $20 big boy?” Luckily, I carry a lot of cash when sailing. I stuffed it in the top of her bra. Beau was going mad. She flashed a wonderful imitation of a professional stripper’s garish smile and unbuttoned the dress all the way to the bottom. As she turned to the music, the dress opened. She was wearing a black bra, and the amazing kind of that somehow hold themselves up at mid thigh. And, I’ll be damned, no panties. At dinner she had sat, watching her husband play with my legs, while waiting for me “Joe Cool” to make a move--Idiot.
The next song must have been a favorite, as she really got into it. The dress was not covering anything, and as it swung; it knocked things off tables. She dropped it. Unattainable just minutes ago, she now danced almost naked. I poured another glass of Champagne, toasted myself and took out another bill.
When she came closer, I slipped a $20 into her left stocking. She pulled off the bra and danced on. Three songs later, she seemed in a trance, as if I wasn't in the room. Her long legs and little bouncing around were driving me crazy. I conferred with Beau, and we both began to plan a next move.
For once I thought faster than Beau,“Yo babe, when do you go off shift?’ That sounded like a pretty good line, I thought.
“Hold your horses stud, us working ladies have to finish our shift.”
She moved to the back of the couch and began to grind her hips against the backrest. I noticed—Holy shit, her hair is messed up. I threw out more bills.
Beau was thinking unspeakable thoughts, as Maggie leaned further over the couch. Her face all smiles, she wiggled her butt, to tease the two of us gaping from the chair. Then sticking out her tongue, “Hey studmuffin I'm off shift. Now that I’ve thoroughly embarrassed myself, how about coming over here before I rape this couch.”
I sprang up, ripped off my and pulled down my pants. Beau, not quite so nimble, had wormed , no pythoned his way through the funny little (that nobody uses) in my new, sparking- white underwear (that nobody's noticed.) He (I) yelped as I pulled him free. Stupidly, not having taken off my shoes first, my pants caught on my boat shoes. I had to pull them up and start again. Maggie didn't miss a beat as she continued to assault the couch, while waiting for her Casanova. Luckily, she had not given up in disgust and gone to bed, but collapsed on the backrest laughing. I followed Beau to the couch and prepared to kiss her neck, and whisper something cool in her ear.
She put her finger to her lip. “No, stupid lines. You’ve got to work on your pick up routines anyway. Remember I agreed to this; we’re here for the sex part. Umph, what’s that?”
It was Beau of course. He had slipped up against her cheeks, hoping no one would notice. She did. Her hand moved behind me, grabbed Beau and slowly eased him forward. He glided into the smooth valley…
"Ow, no wrong place. A little lower…yes, there." Beau slipped in helped by her warm hand. Damn it felt good.
“Womph,” I heard her moan through clenched teeth, “That was the best thing I've done all day, outside the perfect spinnaker set, of course.” Loud panting followed and every muscle in her body tensed, then relaxed.
Studmuffin is right, I congratulated myself. In for less than 30 seconds, and she's already had an orgasm. Then I noticed that, while I was my usual cool, calm and collected self, the always- excitable Beau was having too good a time. He was in danger of ruining the evening--shall we say prematurely. I booted computer-mind and ran over some of the finer points of sailboat racing rules. Beau managed to regain his composure. “This couch is killing me, get up”
She moved through the doors to the balcony; then bent over the railing with exposed to the world (and maybe that satellite). “How about here, I always wanted to be brave enough to do this.”
I moved behind her and enjoyed the perfect view of Maggie’s pretty ass, back and head with the sailboat basin beyond. I reached forward and cupped her and felt her relax against me. Slowly I began to reenter her each inch, feeling….
"Oh god, there's two people looking at us," I heard her panicky voice as below, a couple rounded a corner and smiled at the two of us entangled on the balcony.
"Let em watch, I love…
"But they can see me naked and what you are doing, and oh, this is exciting isn't it?"
I rolled her nipples between my fingers. The couple stopped and he put his arms around her as they smiled up at us.
"I can't believe I'm doing this and I like it," I heard Maggie say almost to herself. I began to rock in and out of her. She responded by rotating her hips. I cupped her breasts, and I heard her moan as the blew a kiss.
"I'm sorry I love it, but this is all I can take." Maggie wiggled off Beau and turned to the room, "More champagne." Inside, she moved to the wet bar, “Maybe up here?” She sat on the counter and held out her glass. “Don’t stop, sorry I am such a chicken, but this is turning out to be more fun than I imagined.”
The bar was too high and Beau too low. I grabbed a stack of books off the coffee table and stacked them on the floor. Standing on copies of “Attractions at Longboat Key” and “Your Guide to Fine Dining on the Florida West Coast” the angle changed and Beau gained the correct position for reentry. “Very innovative, if there is a horny boy, there is a way,” she laughed.
As I went back into her, she made a series of loud noises and hard breathing and had a second loud orgasm. Her hand shook and spilled champagne. "Oh, look at that, I spilled all over my boobs. Don't suppose you would help me out Steve." A true southern gentleman, I gallantly lapped the liquid off her nipples. Amazingly, I found that champagne improves when licked off pretty breasts. I filed this factoid in computer-mind for later analysis and Maggie’s entire in my mouth. I had brief thought of the bottle of aged, Port stashed at home, and how delicious it would be licked off my wife's nipples.
The bottle of bubbly finished, we moved into the bedroom. In a scene reminiscent of a Hollywood B movie, she stripped everything off the dresser and lay on her back, "Let's try it up here." While she contemplated herself in the mirror, apparently doing some sort of examination by pushing her up from the side, then holding them up by the nipples, I assessed the potential damage to my knees. Stripping the bed, I jammed two pillows on either side of her and climbed aboard.
"Oh god, I think I love this. Tell me, am I good?"
"Oh yes Maggie, much better than I…uh…"
"Expected? So you thought I wouldn't be much fun?"
"Uh"
"Yes, push harder, Oh…I'll bet you hate it when women trap you…oh…oh… with questions…harder…like that don't you?" There was no need for an answer, as she began a series of yelps and thrashing movements that were killing my knees in spite of the pillows. Truly, I hadn't expected her to have this much fun. And where were these orgasms coming from? I couldn't remember being this good. She must've have been saving them. I hoped those NASA were getting this all on satellite tape, so I could study them later. But then, I had a problem.
I was exhausted. Where was that cool, in-control executive when I needed her, so we could discuss the situation and plan an end game. All her hours spent in exercise classes seemed to be paying off. I vowed to do the same at a later date. I hung on as she began to squeal, and we bounced on the wood surface.
"Steve."
"Yes."
"My back hurts. Why did you get me up here on this hard chest?"
Deciding it was time to take action, I pulled her back to the bed. She showed signs of weakening. Her hair was not only mussed, but getting to look downright sticky and embarrassingly— declass. Suddenly, she exhaled deeply her muscles relaxed. Beau sensed that the end was near, and I had a thoroughly satisfying orgasm—apparently alone. She was snoring.
Linda’s Day
I was shaking as Roger and I walked to the room at the waterside hotel. How did I get into this? I knew I had sort of pushed the whole affair (is affair the right word), but Steve would have said something if he truly objected. He hadn’t, and I knew the whole idea, sort of, turned him on. Why do I keep using “sort of?” Either it does or it doesn’t, and the same goes for me. Am I going through with this?
Steve had been teasing me for years about other couples, never seriously, I think. Then too, he is a very good-looking man. I knew some of my so-called “friends,” especially some at work who would happily jump on him at a moment's notice. After drinking all that wine with Maggie in the Miami hotel room, I was surprised to find that she and Roger had similar talks. I'd thought it all over and come to a new conclusion. What the heck, Roger is a good-looking guy. I fantasized over him and me naked, in a snowbound cabin, under warm covers, a cracking fire (well, not in Florida, more likely freezing from an air conditioner duct inconveniently blowing up the wrong place.) Maybe I’ll just surprise the hell out of Steve and suggest we…what to call it…hate the term swing… don't like the sound of swapping…husband trading?...recreational sex… Yes, I would suggest a little recreational sex. Steve used that term. Knowing male egos, he would probably turn out to be all talk and balk at the thought of Roger and me. He didn’t.
After entering the room, Roger pulled back the patio’s sliding doors, ”Whoa what a view.”
“Why don’t you grab a beer and sit down, I’ll take care of the stuff.”
“Damn, knew there was something I always liked about you.”
“That’s it, I put away the things and suggest you drink a beer. That’s what you like? No comments about my great bod or something like that?”
“Hang on. I’ll think of something real cool to say to get me out of this mess. It’s coming to me now…”
“Time’s up. Get your beer, I’m not opening it for you.”
I unpacked both bags. All he had was a change of clothes and a shaving kit. A quick shower for me, and I was out to the living room.
He too changed quickly, and we soon sat enjoying the air conditioner.
“You cool with all this?” he ventured.
“Yes, we've halfheartedly joked about it for years. Our marriage is stable. Anyway, we came to the conclusion that we two couples have sailed together, golfed, partied, danced and now uh well it’s, sort of, (that word again) just getting together for some…recreational sex stuff as Steve puts it. Can’t talk about it too much, or I’ll chicken out.”
“Ok, my mouth is sealed. I’ve been really looking forward to seeing you.”
“Thanks, I needed that. A few compliments thrown in every once in a while help. To change the subject a little, I’m a little worried that Steve and Maggie will have a harder time, if that’s the right term. We were always such good friends, but she changed.”
I know he said “ Too many promotions, too much tension, too much feminist literature, Maggie just can’t relax. I was hoping she could loosen up on this trip and have some fun. Our other vacations did nothing for her. Cell phones ruin everything. Our sex life is zilch. Maybe I'm being stupid by agreeing to be here?”
“I don’t think so. She told me in Miami, she really wanted to come. Steve’s a nice guy and…on the other hand… Oh hell, I’m no psychiatric expert. Let’s see what happens. This is supposed to be fun.”
At dinner I watched Steve and Maggie exhibit impeccable manners, and we four had a great time discussing the day's sail. Then Maggie and Steve seemed to run out of things to say. Roger was still talking, and I had plenty to say as usual. The two of them just sat there at least a foot apart. What a mess this is turning into. I wished I was home. At least Roger was funny. He had a seemly inexhaustible supply of jokes, good and bad. At times my ribs from laughing.
The after-dinner coffee was delicious. (After the horrible wine) I decided I was not going through with any of this, unless Steve and Maggie loosened up. But then I thought, why not one last try, before I jumped up and called the evening over. Reaching under the table, I grabbed Roger’s hand and put it on my knee. His eyes widened. It was hard not to laugh at his startled expression. “Didn’t think you would mind,” I whispered, “Maybe they will get the idea.”
The hand moved up my leg. Ohh, I loved it. His hands were large, so warm. As it approached my mid thigh, my breathing become ragged. I glanced across the table. Apparently the two dummies hadn’t noticed, so I panicked. “Ok everyone, it’s time to go dance.” The hand stopped moving up my leg and removed itself. I felt disappointed.
On the dance floor, Roger proved to be light on his feet for such a large man. The DJ had a great collection, and I enjoyed everything except the sight of Steve and Maggie. They were still locked in conversation…going nowhere. I’ve gone this far so…”Put your hand on my butt.”
“What?”
“Come on, you already did it once when we were walking out of the restaurant. Did you think maybe I didn’t notice? Slide your hand over my butt when we are close to the two lovebirds.
Roger’s big grin looked down, “I finally got the cool comment I was looking for, ‘this’ is what I like about you.”
“Don’t push it.”
We danced towards Steve and Maggie. Roger turned my back to them, and I felt his hand exploring the curves of my cheeks. It was a delicious feeling. Please don't stop, I thought. “Did they see you?”
“I don’t think so. We may have to do it a few more times.”
“I notice your hand is still there.”
“Ah, so it is. Do you want me to move it?”
“ Everybody is looking at us. It’s embarrassing----but no.”
“Dance over to them again,” I said. “I’m going to put my hand on your zipper. Don’t jump.”
“I’ll probably fall over.”
A turn across the room and I held my breath as I eased my hand to his belt then lower. Hmh, how big is that thing. I ran the tips of my fingers over the length of the hard lump. "My Roger, it seems to be excited already."
"No kidding. I've almost my pants since you put my hand on your leg after dinner."
I loved the feeling of power, knowing that I was exciting him. Then my bravery deserted me. I knew Steve had seen me, and perhaps Maggie also. “Let’s get out of here.” Knees shaking I pulled Roger to the door. Steve and Maggie followed.
Outside, I thought, I give up. They’ll have to fend for themselves. As we walked along the docks, Roger made a stupid remark about Maggie's name being Magnolia, I felt sorry for her. Maybe if I separate everyone? Taking Roger’s hand I steered towards a large ketch.
“I’m tired of working on those two," I said.
Roger looked me in the eyes, "So what do you think?"
"Well, I think we should go to the room and uhhh…"
"Do it?" he ended my sentence.
"Yes, I feel so…tawdry…saying this, but I' m really excited about it…wonder why 'it' is all I can say."
"Enough talking Linda, let's go. I'm dying to get you naked.
“Well, here we are,” I said brightly, closing the door.
“Yup, want some champagne?”
“Sure, but let’s not fool around too much. Hate to admit it, but your hand under the table and touching me on the dance floor-- that's about all the foreplay I can stand. Actually, that isn’t true. We could have gone on all night. Flirting is the best part. You could romance me a little, but then, we’re not here for romance. I’m going to the bedroom. Give me about 15 minutes and bring the Champagne.”
Avoiding the mirror, I stripped, brushed hair and teeth and put on a short, silk nightgown that Steve says makes me look sexy. It barely covers my butt. Out of habit, I took up matching silk and started to put them on—then trying out my wickedest smile in the mirror, put them back in my bag. Returning to the bedroom, I pulled the covers and slipped between the cool sheets. “I’m ready big boy.”
“Coming o temptress,” Roger entered with two glasses and the champagne. “Do I need to be suave about this?”
My bravery returned, “Strip.”
“Right here?”
His shirt, pants and boxer shorts hit the floor. He struck a body builder's pose. “Impressed?” I spotted a delicious looking object hanging-- only half hard.
“Oh yes, you did that like a pro.”
He climbed into the bed and poured two glasses. I leaned back and sipped the champagne while keeping the sheet above my breasts. Between the moonlight and the living room there was a soft glow to the room.
Roger half rolled towards me, “Mind if I see your tits? No use being shy here. We’re both naked, in bed, drinking champagne.”
“I’m not naked. If you want, you can pull the sheets down and take a look at the all Hollywood’s been clamoring for.”
“Ok, the boob is going to look at the boobs.” he said. His hand moved to the sheet and pulled it down. Then he pulled the strap over my shoulder and my left popped free. “Nice, nice, nice.” He stuck a pinky in his champagne and touched my nipple.” I almost went through the wall.
“Want to lick it?”
“Sure, thanks for the invite.”
His tongue moved, caressing my nipple. Ohhhh Roger, that’s nice. “Now the other one. Oh, even better.” I enjoyed the minutes as he switched back and forth, thinking this isn’t bad…good looking guy licking my breasts…cold champagne… I put the glass down thinking, I might as well go for it all. “Hold still, I want to see what was under that zipper, when you were busy embarrassing me on the dance floor. Don't suppose you would mind if I played with your 'thing'?"
“I was embarrassing you?”
I put my hand between his legs and under his balls. “ Do you Like this?”
“Oh yes and my 'thing' likes it also.”
“And this” “ooo”
“This?----this?----this?----this? I circled his thing, ok dick, with my fingers. It was nice and thick, though not so long as Steve's. Every woman should have a collection of these to play with, I thought. It swelled in my hand. Wonder if he has a name for it like Steve's Beauregard. I gave him a few strokes. He rocked back. "Apparently you like anything?” I asked.
“Bad reputation, I’m easy. I’m going to lick your toes.” Roger’s head disappeared and I felt him at my feet.
“That tickles.”
“Ok, I’ll lick higher, maybe that'll be better.” His hot breath and warm tongue moved up my calves, then knees. Involuntarily, I felt my legs spread. Soon he was at my thighs. I shivered in anticipation of the pleasure I knew was coming. Roger's tongue parted my lips. I felt him inside. The shock of a strange mouth was exquisite. I pushed forward. Deeper he went, licking me. The tingling started. Soon I arched my back and delicious shocks jolted me.
When I could breath, “Thank you, that was so nice.
“Always glad to help a lady in distress.”
“ Now you?”
“Don’t have to ask twice.” He moved up and licked my nipples still hanging out of the super-sexy nightgown. I reached down and put my hand on him and began to rub his cock against my thighs and lips. Oowee, it was getting even bigger. I knew I wasn't supposed to be doing this, but it was so much fun. I rubbed him just inside my clitoris…oh no, he's almost in...I shouldn't…I should stop…oh my god…don't stop…yes…more… oh. Roger'd made the decision for me as he pushed gently forward. Yes, definitely the right decision. The first time is always the best. Of course, I've not had a lot of first times. But then, who knows? “Yes, Yes,Yes, that’s nice. Do more. Mmmm where did you learn that?”
“This?”
“That?”
“And this?”
“ohhhh.”
“And this?’ How about this?”
"This was such a good idea. Lick my nipples again." He did and the rough feel of his tongue sent little waves through my body to my toes.
We moved easily. I thrilled to the feeling as Roger slipped slowly in and out me. Several times we switched positions. Me on top, him on top, my legs around his back…I lost track. Not sure if I would ever do this again, I decided to make the most of it. But then… “Roger did you bring your appointment book with you? There's a regatta scheduled for….eeeeh, like that…..for…oh wow….for July out of Boca. The four of us could get together….oh oh oh, yes, yes like that… a little harder…where was I … do some races oooooh.”
And who knows, I thought, if Maggie can’t make it, we could invite just Roger. The three of us could handle it--the boat that is. Wonder what I would do?
“I don’t have the….ohhh damn… book with me. It's in the car, or I’ll call Steve uh Monday and we’ll …is that good…. get together again,” he said from somewhere between my breasts. “Hang on it's happening again. Wow Roger…nice…push...harder… more…yes…YES… Hoooooooeeeeee,-------------- why have I waited so long to do this. I love sailing, but this is my new sport. God, I’m bad.”
“No Linda, you’re good. I' m still up, want more.”
“So I noticed, absolutely. Roll over and I’ll do my prostitute routine.”
He sat, propped against the backboard. I climbed on top, in my breath savoring the delicious feeling as his hard cock slid in easily into me. ”Ready?”
“Be gentile,” He mimicked a whine.
“Hang on and prepare to get the fucking of your life—uh I said it.”
“Fuck?”
“I don’t use that word.”
“But that’s what we're doing?”
“No we’re not I made a mistake. It’s recreational sex, and I'm getting royally screwed by a good looking man. Take that back, I’m screwing him.”
“Ok, now I understand.”
I gripped the headboard and rode him. "How's this big boy?"
"Love it when you talk dirty--what was that word you used, recreation? Recreate me baby. Recreate harder."
Soon I felt him jerk and, to my surprise, another wave of pleasure broke over me as I felt him finish in a long series of jerks.
We relaxed side by side. “ Roger, you forgot to kiss my nipples when I went. As a matter of fact, I still have my sexy outfit on. You never even got it off.”
“Sorry, it’s hard to keep track of everything when dealing with such an expert.”
I rolled off and stretched. “I guess the right thing to say is-- thanks. That was fun.”
“And thank you too Madam, for an exquisite evening.
_________
The next thing I knew it was morning. I washed, fixed my hair and returned to bed and watched him sleep. Soon he got up, and I heard the shower. He slipped into bed and lay with eyes half closed.
“Roger, did you let someone in here. I don’t think we’re alone. ”
“Do what?"
"I don't do threeways Roger."
"Where, what…"
“ Look, right in front of you, see that lump under the sheet, who's that?”
“Damn, you’re right, I didn't notice”
I peeked under the covers, and in the murky light saw him sticking straight up.
“Now I recognize him--he's growing--- looks like he might be in pain.”
“I think he is,” he said in his best mysterious voice. “Can you do anything to help??”
“Well, I am a nurse, maybe some TLC?”
“Not sure, but it’s worth a try, may take some effort.”
I moved over and took him in my hand. “It’s so hard and I can feel all kinds of little veins. Oops look at that, it’s growing again.”
“You’re right, do something quick.”
“Roger, suppose a little kiss would make him feel better?”
“No way of knowing, until we give it a try.”
I scrunched down under the sheet and kissed the pink head. “How’s that?”
“Better, but not much.”
"Maybe if I licked him?"
"Yes, that would definitely help."
I started at his balls and slowly ran my tongue all the way up the hard shaft. "My, my Roger, It's delicious."
"Thanks Linda, that was great, but there's still something missing."
“A massage maybe.” I slipped my lips over the head of his dick and swirled my tongue. “Surely this helps?”
“Much better, but it'll take more to really calm him down. ”
I slipped his penis all the way into my mouth, played with his balls and thoroughly enjoyed the new taste and feel. This was the only dick I had ever besides Steve.
“Oh Jeez, it’s been a while…”
“Doesn’t Maggie do this?”
“When we were first married, but, I don’t know, she seems to hate it now. Don’t stop.”
“I won’t. You’ll probably notice I like it.” I put him back in my mouth, then took him out, just to drive him crazy. " I guess I am supposed to say something sexy like…Oh Roger, it's so big, I can hardly get it all in…or Ooh I love it."
"Those both sound pretty good. You can say more if you like. Or, you could stop talking so much and…"
I the unfamiliar penis back into my mouth. I had to admit I liked sucking, so I spent sometime moving my lips up and down his cock and running my tongue over all the sensitive spots.
"Roger?"
"Umph"
"I think your getting too…ah…excited. You may be enjoying this too much...if you understand what I mean."
“Then, why don't you come up her and visit, my little Chickadee.”
"Well ok." I slowly moved my body up his while just brushing him with my nipples. "But sir, just what are your intentions? What’s that? Roger, are you trying to put that big thing in me again. Ooph, I think you just did. Christ, here ,oooh, unh, comes another one. Yes, Yes, ooooooh." We both began a series of thrashing movements and almost fell off the bed. I decided to let go and gave a good healthy scream, as a column of pleasurable fire seemed to move up my spine.
Minutes later, I looked up, “Roger, no sleeping, you’re still on top of me.”
“I’m awake, but exhausted. Can I say it. Ya, I’m going to. Linda, you are a hell of a fine fuck.”
“Gosh, what can a lady say? Good thing my manners ain't so good. I’d have to write a thank-you note. I’m hungry. Think I’ll call the other room and see if Maggie and Steve survived the night.” Breakfast
Early morning light filtered in the room. I got up first. In the bathroom, I brushed my teeth then inspected Beau for damage. Finding him fit for duty, I cleaned him up and reentered the bedroom. Hearing me, Maggie got up and left to do her duties. I heard the shower, the hair dryer—then an hour later again woke to see her open the bathroom door. She returned with hair perfect, lipstick, ultra over full lips her naked and her nipples hard. I was impressed. Beau was impressed.
I lay on my side and looked at her. She lay on the other side of the bed and looked at me. The light came through the blinds and formed long shadows on our bodies.
“Guess I kind of make a fool of myself last night? Can’t believe I did that silly stripper stuff. Do you and Linda talk?”
“Well yes, but we were never in a situation like this before. But, I had a wonderful time. Guess we were both a little unsure and nervous at first. The strip game was fun. Sure beat just jumping in the sack. You may have a new career in the entertainment business. I won't say anything if you don't want me to."
“Thanks. I just hope you won’t be laughing at me later. The whole evening sounds like one of those improbable in the men’s magazines Roger hides in the garage.”
“You read them?”
“Well…”
“Like 'em?”
The phone rang. Stupidly, I answered. It was my wife. “Yes Linda.”
“Good morning—hungry?”
“Yes.” I saw Maggie’s tongue lick swollen lips. She began to slide across the bed, her lips heading straight for Beau. Beau pirouetted and strained to meet her warm mouth
“Well, Roger and I were thinking that meeting in about an hour would be nice."
Maggie's mouth closed over Beau..
“I could eat a dozen pancakes", she continued.
Ah the warmth. Complete satisfaction--toes curling.
“But, of course, to stick to the diet, corn flakes might be best. You’re not very communicative. Can I speak to Maggie?”
She heard me gasp as Maggie’s tongue went around Beau’s head. “I guess Maggie can't come to the phone. She's got such good manners, never talks with her mouth full. Well, tell her I can wait, I already snacked, and not too ruin her appetite.” A laugh. “Bye, honey.” Click.
I was too far gone to realize, worry, enjoy, fantasize or whatever, about Linda mentioning that she had blown another man, possibly minutes before calling me to discuss breakfast. What did she mean by snack?
Closer to home, Maggie was showing extraordinary skills not taught in her MBA program. She in so much of Beau that her nose was in my pubic hair. Beau twitched, she rotated her tongue, then placed him between her beautiful and continued the massage. To prolong the moment, computer- mind wandered back to the pool pump, but Beau jumped the gun. I felt her soft hand caress my balls as Beau pulsed in spasms of pleasure between her breasts. As Beau softened continued her light touching. Minutes later she smiled, gave Beau a kiss, then entered the bathroom.
After dressing, we went into the living room. Tens, twenties, and even a hundred-dollar bill lay all over the room. Maggie picked up a $10. “I'm keeping this. I was good wasn’t I? I earned it?”
“Yes, magnificent, the best, cutting edge, top drawer.” She swung her hips and did an fashioned shimmy. “Thanks, I never let my self go like that, ever, in any situation, even with my husband. You were so much help” (I wasn’t sure exactly what I had done other than turn on the radio, but had sense enough to keep my mouth shut.) “I thought a weekend like this might help me loosen up a bit. That’s why I agreed to it in the first place.”
Agreed to it I thought? “So when you and Linda were at that convention in Miami, whose idea was this weekend?”
“Linda said she had read about other couples doing something like this, and that it seemed like a fun idea if….” She looked at me, shrugged then kissed my lips. “Thank you both so much. She's a doll.”
Breakfast was an interesting affair. Both couples arrived at the same time. Everyone was trying to look nonchalant. There was some general bumping and confusion as we gathered at a table. Then seemly by consensus we settled next to our wives, the original one that is. We all busied ourselves making detailed, in-depth studies of the one-page menu. The waitress left with our orders-- the silence was heavy. Finally, Roger grabbed his official Florida orange juice glass, “Everybody who looks like hell, with bags under their eyes, but had a good time, raise their glass.” We reached for our glasses, and Roger continued, “To good sailing, good friends, and some damn fine…
“Rogeeeerr,” Maggie dragged out the name, “That’s enough honey.” “We all had a wonderful time. To doing it again” We smacked glasses hard enough that orange juice splattered everywhere. The ice broken, Linda and Maggie discussed the gift shop. Roger grabbed a local newspaper and cursed the lack of sports news. I worried about important things like bacon, hoping Linda’s talking with Maggie would cause her to forget to remind me of the fat content.
Maggie and Roger set out for the rest rooms. I elbowed Linda, “Have a good time?”
“Oh yes. I'm glad you had this idea, and I let you talk me into it. ” She turned to me, "But I was a little worried about you and her. After the dinner conversation, I thought you two would end up discussing world affairs for the rest of the night.”
“Yea, It started that way, but, well, you'd never believe it, I could write one of those online about last night. It was a hell of a lot of fun.”
“So, I don’t have to feel guilty? Actually I don’t anyway, but you just made it better. I can’t wait to get home and compare notes. When we get in bed, I'll show you what that dirty ole Roger made me do."
"Poor Linda. Maybe we should go down to the boat now and climb in the bunk, if you can't wait to get it off your uh chest-- assuming that's where Roger was last night."
"No way, I want you to get all bothered having to think about it till we get home---wondering just what we were doing."
"Didn't know you were into torture. Just so you too can get yourself all worked up, Maggie turned out to be a lot nicer than I remembered. Great brain. I'll tell you later what we talked about."
“Ya sure, liar. I know what she was doing to you this morning.”
The sail home was uneventful. We made a lazy beam reach to the head of Tampa Bay, then ran downwind to the bridge. Roger and I spent the day tuning the boat, fiddling with the jib blocks, and tightening the stays. Then the subject turned to golf, and he spent at least five minutes explaining how he had improved his putting.
“It’s all in how you hold your putter,” he stood and demonstrated. “I’ve been working on smoothing my stroke just recently. Practice makes perfect. You just have to keep stroking until you get it right.” I burst into laughter. He looked a little peeved, but good naturally shook it off.
The ladies spent the day on the bow. Topless in the sun, they alternatively sleept or talked. Once we passed within 30 yards of a fishing boat, and both women stood and waved. Linda’s hair shone in the sun and Maggie’s black locks swirled about her head as they posed for the grateful fishermen. Linda called out, “You getting any?” The two ladies then collapsed on the deck in peals of laughter.
Turning north, we found the wind off the port bow and had an exhilarating run up the bay. Nearing St. Petersburg, both Linda and Maggie disappeared for an hour. Linda emerged full of life and fun, smiling and laughing. A happy wife, all was right with the world. We sat together and kissed.
Maggie had gone down the ladder, and I was disappointed to see the Ice Queen emerge. Every hair was in place, diamond earrings, makeup perfect, her outfit coordinated.
Dockside we cleaned up "Hammerhead" and took our belongings to the cars. I was on the bow when Ice Queen climbed forward to join me. No, it was Maggie, not Ice Queen. "Thanks again, I learned a lot about myself.”
She saw me looking confused, “I know. I know. I'm doing my neurotic woman routine, and you don't want to talk about it."
“Well, no or uh yes. We had a good time sailing. You and I uh slept together and had a great time. Now were home." She smiled, “I know a trip like this is a risky. I thought if I did something wild, I could break out of my 'perfect box.' I was getting a little desperate in that hotel room til you came up with that stupid stripper idea. I thought, oh hell one last chance, so I did it. Have to admit I it was great fun. I was so embarrassed when I started, but it broke the ice. Roger will probably thank you for this. I'm going to dance for him. By- the-way, I told Linda all about it.”
It was a tender moment, as she leaned forward and gave me a light kiss…Well hell, I thought, a new career. No more computers--sex therapist--my new calling. If I could just get those tapes from NASA to study, who knows? She broke the kiss, and in my shiny new underwear Beau began to struggle. He was always an uncouth bastard, who understands nothing of emotions or relationships.
I noticed a cheap piece of plastic jewelry with Longboat Key stamped on it pinned to her expensive, sailing shirt. “I bought it with the $10 I earned. We'll may not see each other again, but if we do, I’ll wear it."
I looked towards the stern where Roger and Linda were sitting looking at two books, pens poised. "What are those two doing?"
Maggie turned and followed my gaze. "I'm not sure, but I can guess. As soon as we docked, they both hurried to the parking lot and came back with their appointment books. 1
