A Fine Mess
It wasn't supposed to be that kind of trade
~~~~~{}~~~~~
Dan and Jenifer Franklin met at a random event, dated for a while, fell in love, and married. Their beginnings were not unique in the world by any stretch. The relationship that grew between them? Now, that was something special. They were desperately in love with each other and were best friends in all the best senses of the word. It didn't matter what the world threw at them, they handled it together in near perfect harmony. What little disharmony that did occur, was quickly resolved.
Compersion is the sympathetic joy we feel for somebody else, even when their positive experience does not involve or benefit us directly. In simple terms, you experience compersion when something wonderful happens to the person you love, and you feel a sympathetic joy. It feels good when they feel good. Dan and Jen had that for each other to a ridiculous degree. They loved making each other happy, and that included sexually. They didn't have the reservations that many of us do about our fantasies. They knew each other so well that if Jen had a fantasy that she would like to come true, she knew that Dan would enthusiastically try to make it happen. The same was true when it came to Dan's fantasies. They had a lot of fun in, and out, of bed.
Dan was the engineering genius behind his company's success. His partner Ken Tosh was the business genius behind their company's success. The two men had met in college and had become close friends. Neither of them wanted a standard corporate job with all the restrictions that entailed. The two young men were ambitious, extremely smart, and didn't want to wait for the long slog required to advance in a big company. They planned, revised, rethought, and finally, developed their own business plan.
They began small by starting tiny one-off businesses while still in college. All were designed to require the absolute minimum startup capital, offer unique and desirable products, and be the tool for raising the capital they needed to create their dream company. One of those small businesses became so successful that it became difficult to manage while attending college. They had expanded to ten locations when an investment group made them an offer. They took the money and ran laughing to the bank.
Franklin Tosh LLC was created in the days that followed graduation and was a success. They grew until they bumped up against the reality that the regional customer base they relied on was saturated. They had a high percentage of repeat customers, but the chances for growth were small. 'Grow or Die' is one of the golden rules of capitalism. They were stagnating and knew that the golden rule of business was about to bite them in the ass if they didn't do something soon. They had it covered on their end. Consumers loved their product and they had designed in production capacity far beyond what they were using. Their limitation was geographic in nature.
What they needed was a world class customer. A customer with market share all over the country. One customer like that would lead to others and Franklin Tosh would become huge. Multiple high rollers would be preferred, but one would do. There was a significant risk having one high roller. That one account would make or break their company, and that gave the customer a lot of clout. The other non-negotiable issue was maintaining control of the company. They would gladly enter into a manufacturing contract with a high roller, but they would not offer stock in the company. They would certainly consider selling their company if the price was right, but they had no plans on giving up any control at this point. At least not until they had some serious 'Fuck You' money.
The high roller they needed would show up, and when he or she did, interesting things were going to happen.

Ken and Dan had another significant connection. It just so happened that while Dan was dating Jen, Ken had been dating her best friend Morgan. The couples were married one week apart. Dan and Jen wed first with Morgan as her Maid of Honor and Ken as his Best Man. The following week at Ken and Morgan's wedding, Jen stood as Matron of Honor while Dan stood as Best Man. To say that the two couples were close would be a gross understatement.
It wasn't unusual that the two men did not look similar. Dan is a six-foot muscular guy with brown hair and green eyes. Ken is an inch taller, blonde-haired, with blue eyes, and muscle definition that drew stares. They were genuinely nice guys as well, and many women would find either of them attractive, but not irresistible. In summary, they were attractive men in every way, but not panty-droppingly irresistible.
What was unusual was the similarity in their wives. Both women were Brown haired. Their heights were within an inch with Jen being the taller at five-eight. Both had nice c-cup breasts and nice round butts. Description-wise, the biggest difference between them was their eyes. Jen's were hazel, while Morgan's were green.
One would think based on their descriptions that the wives were identical. Nothing could be farther from the truth. While their figures had a lot in common, it was the nuances of nature that made the difference. Morgan had a bit rounder ass, while Jen's breasts were perkier. The shape of their faces varied with Morgan having the fuller face. Seeing them together might make one think that there is a brunette convention nearby, but it would not lead one to think that they were related.
The two women had many things in common. Both loved to laugh, loved to have sex, and were adventurous with their husbands. Both were very intelligent, and both were solid eights out of ten. They looked like women that were so attractive that they might be unobtainable, but not so attractive that a guy would hesitate to take a shot. A fact both women found out time and again when out with their husbands. Dan and Ken knew that if either of them left their wife alone while getting a drink, or visiting the restroom, there would be at least one guy talking to her when he got back.
Dan was discussing the issue with Ken, "It's like my wife is the Pied Piper of Pecker. The guy, or guys, hitting on her always seem surprised when I show up. It's like they can't see the rings on her left hand. I'm just glad that Jen doesn't take any of them seriously. I'd never cheat on her for anything, but if I did, she sure wouldn't have a problem picking my replacement. The volunteers would be crawling out of the woodwork. You know what I mean. Hell, Morgan's the same way."
Ken chuckled, "I like that, Pied Piper of Pecker! That fits both of them perfectly. God help us when we double date and we both leave the table for a minute. So far the studs fade into the woodwork when we show up and that's fine with me. I don't want any drama, but I just know one of these days some douche bag will push, and I'll push back."
Dan nodded, "Right there with you brother. We don't do all that training just for the abs."
Ken grinned, "Hell no! We do it for the hot chicks."
"Yeh, me for my wife, and you for yours," Dan high-fived him on the back inside.
The two couples usually had a night out at least twice a month. On this Saturday they decided to hit downtown and try out a new club. When they arrived, they managed to snag a table. Jen and Morgan settled in while the guys went for drinks. The line at the bar was long and it took a good ten minutes before the men were served. Both looked back toward their table but couldn't get a look. Then both looked at each other and shook their heads. They both knew that they would have to reclaim their seats when they returned.
Drinks finally in hand Dan and Ken made their way through the crowd to their table. Two men occupied their chairs and both had their hands on Jen and Morgan. The two men were massive, extremely fit, handsome, and obviously wealthy.
Dan sat the drinks down on the table, "That's our wives you have your hands on. Take them off and get out of our seats."
