One never knows what their neighbors are doing
"Irene!" Maria answered, seeing the caller ID on her phone. "Are you home?'
"I never went," she answered. "We were supposed to go right after the two weeks here, but they postponed our trip for a month, and then they postponed it for another 6 weeks after that, so I'm still at home. Are you available in an hour? Can you go to lunch?"

"Something happened," Maria said, sitting at the sidewalk table across from Irene. "You're different."
"How so?" Irene responded, wondering what Maria saw. Internally she certainly was different, but externally?
"I'm... not sure. You're... different." She paused, cocked her head, and said "What happened?"
Glancing around, seeing that nobody was near or listening, she still lowered her voice and leaned in. "I had an affair."
"You didn't!" Maria's voice rose, and then realizing she'd gotten louder, lowered it again and leaned in and started quieter. "With who? When?"
Irene told her the whole story from the beginning, meeting, flirting, Ryan feeling her up and her not stopping him, and finally, Oscar almost insisting that she return to his bed. Maria mostly just listened until then.
"Wow."
"Maria, I cheated on my husband... you don't think that's wrong?"
"Well," Maria said, pausing as she evidently thought through her words. "I'm not sure I would call that cheating."
"But he's not my husband..."
'Yes, but did your husband know about it?"
"Well, yes."
"Didn't he virtually tell you he was giving you a hall pass, to go take this man to bed?" Irene nodded in response.
"So, what's the big deal? Your husband gave you permission, he
likes
the idea of you having sex with someone else, right?"
"But he's not my husband."
"That's always a tough one, but that's in your head. When you've got it that sleeping with just one person is mandatory, that's a hard one. But it's not about making babies, it's not about creating a family, it's just sex, right?"
"That's easy for you to say."
"Why?"
"Well, it's not like you've been having sex with someone else." The lack of a response from Maria gave Irene pause. "Well, you haven't, have you?" As she looked at Maria, she realized that her assumptions were wrong, but it wasn't anything that she'd ever considered before. "What???"
"How long have you had your friend now?" Maria asked. "When did we get that for you, probably 8 years ago?"
"I don't remember exactly. Maybe. It wasn't too long after we went camping together at the beach."
Maria nodded. "Albert and I have always had a great sexual relationship. He knows what I like, I know what he likes, and we've never hidden anything from him. That weekend when you almost caught us - it really turned him on. He's always thought you have the greatest tits."
"Oscar spent quite a bit of time checking you out too."
She smiled but ignored what Irene had said. "That morning, after you saw us..." she hesitated on completing the sentence. "I, um... one of the things that has always been a turn on for me, is the thought of Albert... servicing... another woman. That morning, when we did sex, I kept telling him how hot it would be if it were you that he was fucking, and I pretended I was you. That got him really hard too, admitting he's always had a bit of a thing for you."
'Really?" Irene asked quietly.
"Really." She paused to let the answer soak in before continuing. "We've always had great sex, but at that time we'd also gotten into a bit of a rut in what we did. That morning, me pretending to be you, and having you just a few meters away - was probably the hottest thing we'd done in several years. And then when I came back from the toilet and cleaning up - I could barely look you in the face I was so embarrassed, but then I realized you didn't have any clue about what had happened."
"I knew you'd had sex, I just didn't know about the other."
"After that Albert and I both began to admit to some of our more outlandish fantasies, including that the idea of him making love to another woman, letting her experience something bigger than most, really turned me on. It was a few months after that, after we'd gotten you your own friend, that Carmen and Jose, some other friends of ours, invited us to go for a few days to Tuscany with them. Carmen works for this wealthy real estate investor who owns a villa in Tuscany with some other people. Each of them gets it for two weeks a year, but that year they could only stay for 10 days so he let Carmen have it for the last four days for free, the only way we ever could have afforded something like that! The place was absolutely amazing! In the countryside, originally it was just a large farmhouse that dated back to the 1800's, but it has been rebuilt into a very expensive vacation rental property. I don't know what it rented for exactly but something like 3000 Euros per day. It was set off by itself, on a hillside, and surrounded by vineyards and farmland; totally private. The house was totally furnished, had a swimming pool and hot tub and a large private yard, and they'd been told by the concierge the maid would show up every morning at 9, but other than that we would be totally alone all day long unless we called for something. Being that it was totally private, and just the four of us, we ended up naked a lot of the time, and well... we ended up having sex with each other's husbands.
Maria inwardly gasped but didn't say anything at her confession. "Carmen had always wanted a big cock but never had the opportunity. I liked the idea of watching Albert with another woman; and Jose wanted anal sex with Carmen who doesn't like it, but I do." She didn't say anything for a moment, waiting for Maria's reaction.
"And you and Albert are OK? As a couple?"
"It's actually made our love life even better. We get together with Jose and Carmen every few months and have a really good time when we do. We all get what we want without any negative repercussions." There was a momentary silence after she'd finished telling about their swinging experience before she spoke again. "Well?" Maria giggled, a smile on her face, "how was he?"
"Maria!" Irene snapped back at the audacity of the question, and then realized her asking about Ryan wasn't any different than what they'd been talking about, grinned and answered, "He's bigger than Albert."
"What? How do you know?"
"Because I measured him," Irene giggled. "I told him I wanted to know how big he was, so I sucked his dick! You're right, a man will let you do anything when you're sucking on him." Irene and Maria both laughed.
"How big is he?"
"Almost 18"
"Wow. Until now, Albert is the biggest I've ever seen. And Oscar knows?"
