For my birthday, my wife Amy gave me quite a surprise. When I came home from work, she met me at the door. "Don't even think of coming in here, we've got hotel reservations and we are going to use them." She practically shoved me out the door with the carry on luggage that she had packed already.
As we drove to the hotel I inquired about the plans for the evening but was met with silence while she entered the address of the hotel. I decided to simply enjoy the drive, as I had no reason to complain about the situation so far. Amy slapped my hand away as I tried to rub her leg. "Nope, I am saving the fun for later."
After checking into the hotel and getting "freshened up" we headed off to dinner ("gotta make sure you have energy for tonight!"). Dinner was enjoyable but forgettable, given what followed. Afterwards we had an Uber pick us up and Amy provided an address.
During the ride Amy teased me a bit, rubbing my thigh - but continuing to refuse me doing anything to her - and inching her way toward the growing bulge in my pants.
The car service dropped us off in front of a large family home in a nice neighborhood. I had no idea whose house it was and looked curiously at Amy. Her voice shook a bit as she said "you'll find out soon." We knocked on the door and were greeted by a middle-aged man in casual clothing. He gave a noncommittal look until Amy said, "I RSVP'd ahead of time, we're the Ponds."
"Oh, great! Come in! I'm Steve," he said as he stepped aside to let us in. "Make yourself comfortable. Most everyone is still downstairs, but feel free to head upstairs to the play areas whenever you want."
Play areas? My curiosity piqued. I started to think...would she? I mean we had talked about it, but she seemed too nervous about the idea...But maybe for my birthday was she finally going to give a swinger's club a try? It made sense, given that Amy had managed to free up an entire weekend without the kids.
I reached around and squeezed Amy's butt to let her know that I was getting excited. We stepped down into the group area where some couples were casually sipping drinks and chatting.
"First time?" one of the woman asked. "That obvious?" I responded, taking control. Amy had gotten us here, but I suspected it would take the pair of us to get through the night without losing the nerve to try something this daring.
"Yep, you two look so nervous. But relax, we're all just here to have a good time. No pressure." We both smiled and I poured drinks for the two of us.
We looked around trying to find a couple that were on their own as there were many people in larger groups. Clearly there were a lot of regulars here. We wandered over to a man with a well-groomed beard and his beautiful-in-an-unassuming-sort-of-way wife. They seemed just our type so we struck up a conversation. We seemed to hit it off right away, conversation flowed quickly and easily. They introduced themselves as Clara and Rob, and had been in the lifestyle for about five years. We were having a great time, but soon another couple that clearly knew them walked up and joined us. The man winked at them and gave a knowing nod. The couple took the cue and went off towards the stairs.
