It's the last Wednesday of the month. October, to be specific, but that's not important. What
is
important is last Wednesdays are "ladies night" in the Albertson-Foster household. These girls-only swinger parties were inspired several months ago by Janice Nichols. She was introduced to "the dark side" of lesbianism in a bisexual context by Emily and Cyan during a debauched night of randy pick-up sex at the big hotel.
Cyan is on the phone with Claire.
"You on for tonight?" Cy asks.
"I am, but could you or Steve please talk to Tom to reassure him that it's a pussy party?"
"Sure. I'm guessing he's still under the impression any evening activity without him is you taking back up with Chet."
"Yeah. Especially if it turns into an overnighter."
"Gawd. For as much as Tom fucks around on his own, he sure is keeping you on a short leash."
"Oh, Cy. I don't blame 'im, really. With the exception of Emily, he doesn't get attached to his side women, and I know about them, even share our bed with 'em sometimes. My sneaking around with Chet pressed his 'insecure' buttons pretty hard."
"That it did. Anyway, yeah, pack for an overnight just in case."
"Why's that? You have something special lined-up?"
"Yep."
"Anything I should know about, or are you keeping it a surprise?"
"A surprise. It's tonight's theme. A special game."
"Does it involve a guy?"
"Maybe."
"Steve know about it?"
"He arranged it."
Claire chuckles, "You guys. Really. Usual time?"
"Uh huh."
"Who's gonna make it?"
"So far I have confirmations from all the poly girls."
"Even Sarah?"
"Yeah! She's leaving early this afternoon and taking tomorrow off just for it."
"Wow. Who else?"
"Jennifer. And Janice, of course."
"Steve's going to be there as usual, right?"
"As bartender and doorman. And Jackson is playing sommelier."
"Anybody else? No Sandy?"
"No. She's gotta work. Hmm. Checking the list. Okay. Jean's a tentative 'yes', Denise, 'yes'. Oh. Here's one we don't see often! Zoë! Still looking... looking... nope, that's it."
"Cy?" Claire muses. "That's quite a crowd."
"Most we've ever had. Let's see... one... two..., eleven, counting us."
"Hope we don't overflow the hot tub!"
Cyan chuckles, "Technically possible, but you know we also like playing in the showers, too. Toys are fun in the wet, but you know how Steve is about toys in the big tub."
"Well I don't gripe too much about it. That's his trying to keep us safe. The tub disinfectant does weird things to the plastic, anyway."
"It does."
Claire offers, "I gotta run to the store. You guys need anything from Friar Tuck's?"
"I don't think so. Steve left for Tuck's two hours ago and is probably on his way back. I had him run by the party store for decorations. He's also stopping at Sinful for tub lube and a vibrator to replace the one that shorted out."
"And to fuck Patricia."
"Oh, no doubt!"
Claire laughs, "See you around eight!"
"Bye, Claire. Be prepared for some naughty fun!"
"Oh, yeah..." Claire is laughing as she hangs-up the phone.

Steve pokes his head into the kitchen from the garage access. "Honey! I'm home! Please corral the dogs if you would."
"
Pix! Sky! Solomon! Dog bed! Dammit Sky! Sky! Find your box!
" There seems to be a little bit of a scuffle around the office door. After about a minute of this, "Okay, Steven. All clear."
"Thanks. Could use a hand. Watch out. A couple of those bags are heavy. I think you know which ones go in the bar fridge."
"I do. How was Patricia?"
"Doing better. At least less crying this time."
"After her orgasm?"
"Yeah. Really tough toeing the line with her. She needs the guidance and sure as heck needs the release, but I'm afraid I'm sensing transference."
"Ohgawd. You don't need
another one
falling in love with you."
"I don't. I asked her if she's been dating anybody and she hemmed and hawed. Not good."
"Keep working on 'er, Steve. She'll get her confidence back. She's cute, and a lot of guys come into the shop."
"Yeah, but filtering the sleazebags out is more than she can handle right now. I told her she needs to make friends with an understanding couple. Not so much to do
him
, but maybe to be introduced to a sympathetic single."
"Oh, those are rare. You of all people should know that."
"Uh huh. You need help with these decorations? Where do you want the Sharpies? I bought the 24 color set just in case. I got the separate letters for the banner like you had on the list, but what do they spell?"
"You'll see when we put 'em up."
"Okay," he chuckles. "A surprise for our surprise. I'm game."
"You'd better be. Did you cum with Patricia?"
"No. The ring."
"Good. You and me in the tub after you get back from the kennel, okay?"
"And have sexual relations
with my wife?
What would our friends think? What would
our pastor
think?"
"You're being silly, Steven. We'll have a rare quiet moment with just us."
"That works for me. Let me gather the dogs to run that errand. I'll be back like quick.
Ohgawd.
"
Cyan just wriggled out of her housecoat to display herself to him. Even after over twenty years together, her incredible beauty
still
takes his breath away. He pauses to admire, gives her a lover's kiss, then turns his attention to the office and their pack of Dalmatians.
It took Cyan just a few minutes to deal with the groceries and beverages. She steps through the patio door, turns on the tub jets, and lowers herself into a lounging position in the tub to relax in anticipation of Steve's return.
Cyan is slightly surprised in seeing Steve stepping onto the patio, having not heard the garage door open and close. His erection is only at half mast, that is, until he sees Cyan waiting to accept him. He also settles into the tub, and stretches out to press his body against her side.
"Dogs do okay?" she asks.
"They did. They were all excited to see Hannah."
"Good. I've been worried about Sky."
"Oh, he's doing better. Cy? I been thinkin'. Twenty years," he says.
"What? Us? Twenty-two."
"Okay. Twenty-two."
"Do you regret not marrying Suzanne?"
"What brought that on? Not at all. Suzanne may have been open about her bisexuality, but taking others if she was in a committed situation was and is not in her makeup."
"And we were already dipping our toes in the lifestyle."
"It made me love you all the more. It wasn't about the freedom to play, it was the
joie de vivre
that went along with it. And we still have it."
"We do. Love me."
"As you wish."
The two take each other as the lovers they are, and get lost in their passions. Steve has made sure Cy is most satisfied, and leans back in the tub with her on top in a cuddle, in a from-behind coitus.
Alas, their serenity is interrupted by another lover. Sarah has arrived and heard the hot tub pumps, drawing her out to the patio.
"Hi. Oh. I'm interrupting, aren't I?"
"Yes you are," Steve chuckles, "but join us, if you would."
"Surprised you're here so early!" Cyan comments.
"Some event cancelled classes after lunch, so I was able to escape sooner. Be right back."
Sarah ducks back into the house to undress.
