"I think the turn-off is just up ahead hon," Alicia said to her husband David.
"Yep, I know."
Alicia and David had been invited for a weekend getaway at their friends' cabin. Emily and Jeff had been trying to get them up for a couple of years, but timing never seemed to work for both of them to have a clear weekend. This time Alicia and David made sure it was set in stone, and had been really looking forward to it. David was especially anticipating some interesting turns to the weekend he hoped Alicia would like as well. They had been together for awhile, but only married for a little over a year, and were still learning about each other. This would be a weekend of revelations, he was sure.
Jeff and Emily, on the other hand, had been married for five years, and lived together for a couple of years before that, so were very comfortable with their relationship. They had always been open with each other as far as their needs and desires, and were both looking forward to helping Alicia and David open a whole new chapter in their own intimacy.
David and Jeff had been roommates in college, lived together for a few years after college, and had continued to have a close friendship. Since they had been in relationships, the women had become friends too. Over the last couple of years they had spent plenty of time at each others' houses for dinners and barbeques. David and Jeff had been up to the cabin together several times for guy weekends, but this would be a first weekend together for all of them.
David pulled off the main road to a groomed dirt lane. They continued on for about 10 more minutes, and pulled up in front of the cabin. It was a beautiful location, right on a lake, and very secluded. As Alicia and David stepped out of the car, they paused, just looking around them. The air was so fresh and clean, and the only sounds came from the birds in the trees.
The front cabin door opened, and Emily and Jeff came out to greet their friends.
"I can't believe we finally got you both up here," Jeff said.
"I know, I know," said David, hugging his friend. "But here we are!"
Emily and Alicia also hugged in greeting. "C'mon," Emily said. "Let me show you the lake while our big strong men unpack the car."
"Sounds good to me," said Alicia. The women headed around to the back of the cabin, and walked out on the dock. "Wow, this really is so incredible," said Alicia, looking around at the lake, so peaceful, sun shining on the lake's surface. Alicia was average height, with a curvy figure and c-cup breasts that her husband seemed to be happy with. A little more than a handful he always said lovingly. She had medium length golden-brown hair and dark brown eyes.
"Thanks, we love it," said Emily, smiling. Emily was a bit taller than Alicia, thin, with small perky breasts, short blond wavy hair and elf-like green eyes. "It's so nice to be able to come up here and get away from everything." She looked sideways over at Alicia. "It's kind of like we can come up here and lead a whole different life."
Alicia thought that was sort of a strange thing to say, but let it pass. The women chatted about life and work, enjoying the scenery, until the men walked out the back door of the cabin to join them.
"Everything is inside and unpacked," Jeff said moving to stand beside his wife. "Any other orders my love," he said with a smile. Jeff and Emily made a nice looking couple. Jeff was also tall, with the athletic build of a swimmer, which he had been all his life. He kept his sandy-blond hair short, and had expressive brown eyes.
"You could start the coals. I'm sure these two are starving after the long drive up."
Alicia patted her hubby's flat stomach, "this guy could probably eat a horse."
"Okay, okay," David laughed pulling his wife closer, "I can put away a little bit of food." David wasn't a tall man, just a couple of inches taller than his wife, but he worked construction, and it showed in his strong arms and well-built chest. He had a thick mane of dark black hair and piercing blue eyes, which had been the first thing Alicia had noticed about him when they met at a party years before.
"Let's get those steaks on then," said Jeff, heading to the deck.

A couple of hours later, the two couples were sitting around the table, empty plates in front of them, full and satisfied.
"You grill up a mean steak Jeff," said Alicia. "Everything was delicious."
"Well, we have some clean-up to do," said Emily, "but it can wait until morning. Let's take our drinks to the living room." No one argued, and they headed into the other room. Emily and Jeff sat together on the loveseat, while Alicia sat in the rocking chair with her husband sitting on the floor between her legs, leaning back against the chair.
They just relaxed, drinking and talking about nothing all that important, music playing in the background. They had all had a few beers and were feeling a little buzzed, but good.
"Another drink anyone?" Jeff asked, getting up.
"I'll take another," said David, and one more for my wife."
Alicia almost said no, she was already feeling pretty light-headed, but she figured, what the hell? They weren't driving anywhere, and they were on vacation.
"After all," David added, "my wife gets horny when she drinks, so I know I'll get lucky tonight."
