By the time our plane landed, text messages were in our cell phones: we'd gotten the account, and Bob and I were headed out west again the following week, this time for a full month, to install the new system and train their people.
I hadn't told Bob I knew Mark and Becky had slept together. I also managed not to let on to Mark that I knew. I wasn't sure what I was going to do next.
For that matter, I still wasn't 100% certain: after all, I might have been hearing somebody else's phone ring in the background, somebody with the same ring tone as Becky's. At exactly the same time Bob was calling Becky.
Okay, I was 99% certain.
I envied Bob his ignorance: I'd been so looking forward to enjoying a good, hard fuck tonight, especially after having accidentally exposed myself to Bob the last couple of nights... but knowing what I knew? And for all I knew Mark and Becky had been fucking in my own bed? Not tonight. It was all I could do not to stiffen up when Mark held me.
I was almost asleep when he said "Can I ask you a question?"
"I guess so."
"Promise not to get mad?"
"Let's hear the question first."
"Okay. Well, when you were in Colorado, did you and Bob... you know..."
"Did me and Bob what?"
"You know."
"I don't know."
"Did you... um... have sex?"
"Did we
what
?"
"I mean, being alone at the hotel together three nights..."
"You think we can't be at the same hotel together for three nights without cheating on our spouses? What the fuck...?"
"I'm sorry."
"Fucking right you
should
be."
"The thing is... with you and Bob going back there for a full month..."
"What about it?"
"Well, Becky and I were talking..."
I could just imagine when they were doing this talking. And where."Yes?"
He hesitated.
"Out with it," I said.
"Since we're going to be apart for a whole month, you with Mark and me back in town with Becky... well... what would you think about... well, I guess you'd call it swapping."
"You mean having
sex with our neighbors
?" I asked, trying to sound shocked but trying not to overplay it."
"Um... It just that I was thinking, we were thinking, they're our best friends, and a month is a pretty long time..."
"And what, your dick can't be alone for that long?"
"Just forget it, okay?"
"You know what," I said, turning my back to him,"I think your dick's going to have to go without for a month
and
a week."
He shut up at that point, probably in part because he didn't want me to get angrier, and in part because he couldn't believe his luck that I hadn't asked whether he and Becky had already done it.

When we got to the hotel, Bob was surprised that there was only one room reserved for the two of us. "It's okay," I told him. "We have two queen beds."
"I don't get it," he said as we walked into the elevator. "The company wouldn't pay for two rooms?"
"It's something I worked out with travel services. See, our bonuses will just barely cover the Aruba trip, but not on any grand style. So I told them we were good friends and we can split a room, and we get to keep half the savings, and the company's travel budget gets to hold onto the other half. Win-win"
"I guess that's okay," he said. "But I didn't bring, you know, anything really to sleep in."
"Bob, for a good cause like this, I can survive seeing you sleep in your underwear. And as far as you seeing me... well, that ship's already sailed, hasn't it? Listen, we'll give it a try, and we always have the option of going back to having separate rooms. The hotel's never booked solid this time of the year, I checked."
"Okay. But why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
"Because it's probably better that Mark and Becky don't know. They might get weird about it. And it's easier for one person to keep a secret than for two."
He nodded his head, "You
are
the devious one."
"You have no idea..."

I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and such and came out wearing a pretty, though non-revealing, nightgown. When it was Bob's turn, he came out wearing a pair of jockey shorts, and sprinted to his bed and slid under the blanket. No wonder he'd seemed nervous: Mark has work boxer shorts at least for as long as I've known him, so it didn't occur to me that Bob might be wearing the more-revealing tighty-whiteys. I felt a little guilty now for not having told him about the revised plans, so he could pack accordingly.
I slept fitfully, wondering whether Mark and Becky were in bed together. And wondering exactly what I was going to do about it.
And I was getting aroused. Was it the thought of Mark and Becky fucking? Or the fact that there was a very attractive man in the bed next to mine, wearing nothing but a tight pair of underpants, who would almost certainly come over here and fuck my brains out if I asked him to?
My panties were so wet, I had to slip them off. Well, I could have left them on I guess, but I wanted to give my pussy a little touch. Just swipe my finger between my pussy lips for a moment, to feel the wetness. Nothing more than that. I wasn't going to rub myself off or anything: not with Bob in the next bed, even if he was fast asleep.
Ohh. I was wetter than I thought.
