ANYTHING GOES
"Are we doing this right? We're just supposed to... sit here?"
You laugh softly. "Well, I think we're supposed to, you know, approach someone. If we want to do something." You take a sip of your drink. "Or someone will approach us."
"I just want to make sure there isn't, like, some kind of secret code or something that we're supposed to be giving people."
"I think just being here communicates to other people that we're available." I take a nervous sip of my own drink.
"You're right, you're right. Sorry, I'm just excited."Your gaze softens and you drape your arm around the back of the couch.
"Don't apologize, baby. I'm excited, too." My body is buzzing with anticipation. Anything goes. That's what we agreed on for tonight. It's funny to think how unappealing the thought of going to a sex club was when you first brought it up. Thank god Maggie had been before and could tell me what it was like. Otherwise, I absolutely would have turned you down.
I really thought it would be, like, some back alley dive with plastic-covered furniture. It's actually super nice. Way cleaner than I was expecting. Kind of like a high-end bar plus hotel rooms? I guess we'll find out what the playrooms look like when we venture over there.
"Hey." Your lips tickle against my ear. "Did I tell you how gorgeous you look in that dress?"
I grin and I glance up at you through my eyelashes. "You did. While I was putting it on. In the ride over here."
You chuckle softly, flirty, and pull me closer to you so you're right in my ear now. "You know what this dress does to me." You trail soft, deliberate little kisses down my neck. You know how sensitive I am around there. All you have to do to get me like putty in your hands, or if you want to win an argument, is kiss my neck.
I shift closer so my chest presses against yours and instinctively, you snake your arm tight around my waist. Your breath tickles my skin and I catch a hint of your woody cologne. That's when I catch sight of him. "There's someone watching us... over at the bar. "
You keep kissing my neck. "Mmm, yeah?"
"Yeah. He's tall. Pea coat. Kind of... aloof?"
You glance up at me. "Your type?"
I chuckle under my breath. Trying to think of details is difficult when you're kissing me like that. "I guess so. You know I don't really... have a type."
You straighten up and flash me a mischievous, boyish grin. "Do you want me to talk to him?"
"Yeah, maybe. I think he's coming over here."
His eyes are locked on us, this handsome stranger. I see him down the last of his drink and pick up a tray with three drinks the bartender has carefully placed. He picks up it and heads straight for us. He's got a confident stride while balancing the tray, not at all shy or nervous like I am. Perhaps he's a regular? It doesn't look like his first time.
"Hey," he smiles.
I return the smile cautiously. "Hi."
"Hi," you say.
"I just, um... noticed you two were almost done with your drinks. Grabbed a couple for you. Hope that's okay." He leans down and places three martinis with little olives on cocktail sticks on the table.
"Oh, that was, um, perceptive of you."
He grins at us knowingly. We weren't exactly subtle about noticing each other. "I'm Jordan."
You hold out your hand and Jordan shakes it. "Vince. Nice to meet you. This is my wife, Mallory."
"Hi," I say, a little reserved.
Jordan sits down on one of the velvet armchairs opposite us. Not too close, but not too far away. "Nice to meet you both. Are, uh, are you two regulars here?"
"Uh... not really," I say. "First time."
"Ah, well, welcome. You don't look like first-timers, which is impressive."
I glance up at you. Your smile is easygoing and relaxed, and your arm tightens around me. "I'm guessing it's usually pretty obvious when someone is new, huh?"
Jordan chuckles. "Little bit, yeah. There are tell-tale signs."
"What about you?" I ask. "You've got kind of a 'seasoned expert' vibe."
"Oh, I don't know if I'd say 'expert.' It's my... fifth? No, sixth time here."
"Okay, sorry if this is a first-timer question, but," You lean forward a little like you're about to say something you don't want anyone else outside of your table to hear. "I thought this club didn't allow single guys?"
"Oh, I'm here with my wife actually. She's off gallivanting around somewhere upstairs. She loves the massage room."
My chest flutters a little. It's like the acknowledgement that this guy and his wife are doing this whole 'swinging' thing successfully means it could work for us.
"Can I ask--well, actually, sorry, that's probably too private."
"No, no," he smiles. "Go ahead."
"Well," I can feel the heat rising in my cheeks as he looks my way. "What's your arrangement? You and your wife? We're still kind of figuring all of this out."
"Um, nothing too complicated, really. We're both allowed to fuck whoever we want when we're here. Outside of here though, there needs to be a bit more negotiation. Safe sex, always. And honesty, no matter what."
Vince turns to me with a boyish, playful grin. "Taking notes on all that, babe?"
"Yeah, yeah." I turn back to Jordan. "How do you, you know, get started? Like what are your first steps when you get here?"
Jordan shifts his chair a little closer to us. "Well, me personally, I like to have a drink or two on my own." He looks more pointedly at us. "And if someone catches my eye, then I strike up a casual conversation, and see what happens from there."
My cheeks are flushing red hot. I just realized both you and Jordan are looking at me. Both of you shifting a little in your seats. Your hand slides over my lap and settles on my thigh.
"And," I clear my throat. "What if she's with her husband?"
"Then," he smiles, "I'll let her and her husband have a moment alone to discuss things. Especially if it's their first time."He shifts a little closer to us and a whiff of his cologne fills my nose. "So, how about this? I'm going to go sit over there, by the playrooms, and if you decide to come and join me, then wonderful. If not, no worries." He gets up from the chair and picks up his martini, lifting it up slightly as if to toast us. "Cheers."
And with that, he's gone, making his way over to the playrooms. My stomach's fluttering like crazy. Holy shit, did that just happen? You look just as excited as I feel.
"What do you think?" you murmur in my ear. "Do you like him?"
"Yeah. Yeah, I think I want to. I want to do this. But I want you to come with me."
"To watch?"
"Yeah. I think that'd be really, really hot."
