The last few weeks have been a test of perseverance - too many tough days at work and too many projects to do at home. There has been stress and many challenges. While things with Cindy and I have not been strained, there hasn't been much time for fun or relaxation. Because of this, I jumped at the chance for a night out.
The occasion was a "going away" party for one of Cindy's co-workers. Cindy invited me to join her co-workers as they prepared a fitting send off for Gwynn. While I was reluctant to mingle with the work crowd, I was anxious for some down time with Cindy. I assumed we would spend some time at the party, and then head out so that we could have some time alone.
Charlie's was the local watering hole near Cindy's office. It was always busy and was the usual spot for office gatherings. It was perfect for Gwynn's send off. I arrived about 6:15pm and there were at least twenty people from the office there. I grabbed a drink and sat down next to Cindy.
The party was a great excuse for a night out, but my expectations were fairly simple - a few drinks, a quiet dinner with Cindy, and hopefully an evening of sex to make up for missed nights the last few weeks. I had no plans to be there more than an hour or so.
It wasn't long before I ordered a second drink. While the plan was to politely duck out with Cindy and find a quiet restaurant for a romantic dinner, Cindy was having a great time. She obviously was not ready to leave.
By 9pm, the crowd had dwindled to the last few stragglers. The boss had closed out the tab and said his goodbyes, but the party was not over. Gwynn was sitting next to Cindy and the drinks were still flowing. They were laughing and giggling like school girls.
In no time at all, the remaining revelers left, wishing Gwynn the best of luck. I found myself sitting with Gwynn on one side and Cindy on the other. Gwynn was definitely a hot looking young lady. She had short dark brown hair, ample tits, and a nice ass. She was dressed for success in a tight blouse and a short skirt. I was not the only one that noticed her that night, but every guy that approached got the cold shoulder.
I needed to visit the men's room to take a leak. I took my time, knowing that Cindy and Gwynn were chatting up a storm. As I exited the men's room, I could see that Gwynn had changed seats. She was now sitting very close to Cindy. As I approached the table, I noticed that Gwynn's hand was on Cindy's thigh. Innocent? I'm not sure.
Time seemed to stand still as the conversation continued. It was just the three of us, but you would have thought I was not even there. The more they chatted, the more Gwynn moved closer to Cindy. There was nothing sinister, but it was far from innocent. As the waitress brought the next round of drinks, Gwynn reached across the table brushing up against Cindy's tits. They both just looked at each other and then started laughing.
Gwynn decided to excuse herself to the ladies room.
"Are you coming to?" she asked Cindy.
"No, I'm fine" was Cindy's reply, ignoring Gwynn's obvious plea.
With that, Gwynn disappeared. I decided to quiz Cindy who by now was feeling quite fine with the alcohol.
"So, what's the deal with Gwynn?"
"What do you mean?" Cindy replied.
"Where is her boyfriend?" I inquired.
"No boyfriend." Cindy quipped. "She's a lesbian, or at least that is what I have heard."
I about fell over. Now all the subtle little signs made sense to me. Cindy seemed oblivious, or maybe the signs were hidden behind the drinks. Gwynn returned and sat down close to Cindy, their thighs now pressing together. Gwynn plopped her head on Cindy's shoulder and exclaimed "I am really going to miss this place when I am gone."
The conversation headed back to small talk. We ordered another round of drinks. This time Cindy had to use the ladies room. Gwynn was ready to follow her, but I managed to distract her.
"So, Gwynn, all these hot young men here and you haven't danced with a single one."
She shot back "I am having too much fun with you and Cindy and besides, I am moving to the south, so who needs a commitment like that?"
With some careful thought, I followed what I believed was her obvious lead.
"Well, it is a shame you are moving, but the fun doesn't have to end here."
Gwynn stared at me with the most inquisitive look. She was speechless, but clearly wanted to know more. I leaned in close to Gwynn and whispered in her ear.
"I think you want to fuck my wife!"
Gwynn pulled back and look me directly in the eyes for what seemed like an eternity. She wanted to deny it, but her face said "caught me!" She raised her index finger to her mouth as if to say "shhhhh!" Then she smiled the most wry little smirk and winked at me. Game on!
"And what makes you think I would play along?" I asked her.
"Your love for Cindy is obvious and I know from talking with her that you have a strong marriage, so as much as I would enjoy being with her, I have no doubt you already have plans for the evening."
My mind was racing with the possibilities. Cindy and I have talked in the past about someone joining us, and I had already let her experience another man on our trip to Vegas, but would this push things too far? Or would she cherish the experience?
Before I could answer my own question, Cindy was back. Gwynn looked at Cindy and then stared at me, but I was speechless. My mind was racing. The most I could do was muster a wink back at Gwynn. My silent approval brought a smile to her face. I asked the waitress to bring me the check.
We finished our last round of drinks. I could not help but notice how much Gwynn was nestling up to Cindy, brushing up against her, casually rubbing her arm, playing with her hair, etc. On one hand, I was worried, but down below I was hard as a rock and ready for more.
