Author's Note - This is my first story to be published in parts. Currently planned as 4 chapters. As always, interested in any feedback.
*****
The taxi pulled up to the house, and I nervously dug into my wallet for cash. Anna started to do the same, but I stopped her, "You're our guest tonight. This is on me."
We got out of the same side of the cab onto the sidewalk and began walking toward the front door. Anna reached down quickly, caught my hand and gave it a squeeze.
Turning to face her a few steps from the door, she gave me another quick kiss and said, "I'm really excited about this. I've thought about this for a long time, and the fact that you suggested it is almost too good to believe." With a deep breath she added, "But, I understand that neither of you has done this before either, and it might be uncomfortable at times. Remember, our code word is 'Merlot' if at any time we need to take a step back, ok?"
I nodded.
"If it works, great. If not, we'll have something to laugh at the next time we meet for dinner." She playfully reached down and gave my ass a squeeze through my dress, "Now, let's go and have some fun. I can't wait to see the expression on your husband's face when he figures out what we have planned!"
Opening the front door, I could see the man of the hour standing in the kitchen, knife in hand at the cutting board, a bottle of my favourite scotch in front of him.
"Come on in ladies!" he called from the other room. "Can I interest you in a bit of Penicillin?"
Anna looked at me a bit confusedly. "It's a cocktail - scotch, ginger and a couple other things." she nodded, "It's what he makes me when he wants to get me a bit drunk and take advantage of me. I'm not sure why he still thinks that's necessary, but I always appreciate the sentiment."
Watching him muddle the ginger as we walked through the hallway toward the kitchen, my brain was on fire with what to say or do next. Part of me wanted to run, jump in his arms and scream "Threesome!" Another part of me wanted to turn to Anna and yell "Merlot." In the end, I simply walked up to him, put my hand on the back of his head in much the same way I did to Anna 15 minutes ago. At this, he leaned over and kissed me. His intentions were not quite the same as mine, so I had to prevent him from pulling away so that I could kiss him hard and ensure that he understood how hot I was right now. Chances are he would have no idea why - at least for a few more minutes anyway.
And indeed, for a moment, he seemed surprised that I was so forceful (and obviously horny) with Anna only a couple of steps away. However, he quickly surrendered his hesitation and returned my kiss with a similar passion. When he pulled away, the look in his eyes said that he understood that I wanted to fuck him, and soon. The furrow on his brow however, showed his confusion - I obviously wanted him, but I had also invited a guest over. The two things were not fitting together for him. At least, not yet.
Leaving him to muddle his confusion, I lead Anna out through the open patio doors onto the deck. Our outdoor furniture consisted of three wicker pieces with large overstuffed cushions - two arm chairs, and a two-person couch. I pointed Anna to the couch and sat down next to her.
Knowing that we were coming, the deck was set for our arrival. Candles lit on the table, deck lights on low, music playing through the outdoor speaker. My husband, good boyscout that he is, was always prepared for everything, and he'd obviously done this for Anna and me.
I smiled thinking that we were about to see exactly how prepared for anything he actually was.
Not feeling that I could kiss Anna again until my husband had at least some idea what was going on, I simply reached down to squeeze her hand and smiled at her.
Mercifully, we didn't need to wait long before my husband joined us, two drinks in his hands that he handed to us.
"What about yours?" Anna asked.
"Right in here," he replied, walking back in to pick up his drink, a decidedly different colour than ours. Probably something bourbon, a Manhattan perhaps, but I was too distracted to ask.
"You're coming to sit with us, aren't you?" I called back into the kitchen.
"If you don't mind the company, absolutely!" he said, the deep timbre of his voice making my insides shiver. Was I really brave enough to go through with this?
Sitting down with his drink in the chair across from where we sat on the couch he asked, "So, what was the topic of conversation at dinner tonight?"
Anna nearly spat out her drink.
