This is one of a series of stories set in what I call Universe-J. Universe-J is very much like this universe with a few exceptions.
First the people tend to be a little more sexual and less hung up on sex then they are in our universe. This does not mean that monogamy is the exception. James and Heather were monogamous for a significant amount of time before they "accidentally" swapped partners.
Second the repercussions of unprotected sex are less severe than our universe. Not to say that STDs and unexpected pregnancies don't occur, just that they occur less frequently and in the case of STDs, a good shot of antibiotic will put you right again. HIV has yet to be introduced so STDs aren't a death sentence there.
Lastly, pedophilia and incest (which I will not be writing about) are virtually unknown. Children are to be protected and loved, not abused. When they reach the age of consent, they can join in the adult games if they so desire, but there is no pressure on them to do so.
Over time I will be re-publishing stories set in Universe-J with a recurring cast of characters. As well as publishing new stories never published elsewhere.

Chapter 1 - Intro and the Invitation
For those who have been following my adventures, you can skip over the next bit of self-exposition and settle in for another fun time journey.
For those who stayed, my name is James, although I rarely go by my old nickname Jack. If you look at my full name on the author's mast you'll see why. I should probably give the usual sex story description of being 6 foot 5 and built like a Greek god, but I'm not. I'm mid-thirties with a few extra pounds and a few extra miles, not your basic chiseled porn stud by any stretch of the imagination.
While my hobby, which has been detailed in previous stories, is collecting and restoring old video games, this particular story involves my day to day job, or as I like to call it, the mortgage maker. It started one day when I was accidently invited to a meeting with the local account manager from a one of our largest software and hardware vendors. After a few hours of boring meeting and a moderately decent lunch, he asked what I did.
When I explained the project I spend most of my time on, he said, "I may have something you'd be interested in. Next month we will be having our big tech conference in Las Vegas. Plenty of seminars and hands on labs, that kind of techy stuff. Let me send you an email invite."
Sure, Sure. I don't make the buying decisions, so I'll never get invited. But, what the hell. I decided to push and asked for an invitation for my partner, who couldn't make the meeting. In for a penny, in for a pound.
"No problem" I was told. Yah, sure.
Chapter 2 - A Surprise or Two
Well, lo and behold, two days later an invitation with a discount code for 2 free full passes to the show hit my email box. I casually mentioned it to my partner Lauren and we both laughed.
"No way is the boss going to go for sending us to Vegas" she said.
"I agree" I said, "but we need to play the charade through so we can send our regrets to Mr. Salesguy." I pinged the boss and asked if he had a minute to talk about an opportunity. He replied that he had 5 minutes between meetings and to stop on down. I printed the invite and headed for his office.
Five minutes later I was back at my desk with a shocked look on my face and apparently it showed.
"What happened?" asked Lauren.
"He said yes", I replied showing her the travel and hotel authorization that he signed. "The only thing he said was to be gentle on the budget with hotel and food."
Lauren sat blinking, stunned for a second then muttered "he must have gotten laid last night if he is in that good a mood."
A second later she realized what she said and "but I really didn't say that. Don't tell HR."
I laughed and said "I won't, if you don't tell them I agree 100% with what you said."
A couple of background things. First the reason for the HR comments is they have been aggressively forcing sexual harassment training and seminars since the last lawsuit got a $20 million settlement. Rumor has it a VP was polishing the boardroom desk with the backside of his admin. That act was caught on surveillance video. It went viral and all kinds of shit went down, resulting in the settlement. So they have been all over our asses about anything that could be "harassment".
Second, Lauren is very sexy. Not really my "type" if I have a type. But sexy.
She is 5 foot 2 (although she says 5 foot 4) very athletic body, meaning not a lot of curves but just enough and small A cup titties. Long dark hair which falls over her boobs if she lets it. Normally, she dresses very conservatively but occasionally she wears a loose top with a V-neck and I can get a glimpse down her shirt when I stand looking over the cube wall at her.
Returning from interrupt, Lauren said, "Well, let's get the arrangements going fast before he changes his mind."
I agreed and I told her that I would get it going now and she could copy the form and we'd send them both down to the travel office.
About an hour later, it was done and approved by the travel office. I knew the show hotel would be out of budget, but there were a couple of other hotels nearby that would be cheaper so I suggested those as alternatives and the travel office booked one of those. The flights we wanted were available and the travel office booked those too. We were going to Vegas Baby!
When I got home that night, I told Heather and first her face lit up, she loves Vegas, but then it crashed.
"I can't go that week" she whined. "I've got stuff that needs to get done and I only have 2 days of vacation left until next quarter. My life sucks. You go have fun. I'll just have to sit home and pout."
I put my best consoling voice to work and said, "I'm sorry baby. I was so hoping you could come along. Timing is everything and this time it sucks."
While saying that I came up to her from behind and squeezed her tight and began to massage her lovely titties. The consolation sex that sparked was very nice.
Chapter 3 - Fairy Tail
It seemed like time dragged but finally it was time to go. I had my bag packed and was running my checklist though my head for the hundredth time that night when Heather came up behind me and grabbed me while saying "Aren't you forgetting something?"
Running the list one more time, I slowly said "No, I don't think so." That earned me a thump on my butt.
