Author's note: This story is a continuation of my earlier story, "New Year's Eve Bash". Please read that story first for background. The is the first part of this story with much more to come. This story is more of a set-up, with much, much more action to come. Enjoy!
Following the rousing success of the New Year's Eve party that Laura and I had thrown, many of the participants have continued our swinging ways. In the weeks following our party, my wife and I were shocked to learn that swinging was nothing new for her sister Serena. She admitted to us that she was a frequent visitor of a local swing club. Laura and I had no clue, but I must admit that I was excited to realize that our exciting evening was beginning to appear like an introduction to even wilder things.
Somewhere around the beginning of February, Brett and Ali approached us about swapping partners. Laura and I were both excited by the idea, and have now swapped with them roughly a handful of times. In the meantime, we also have accompanied Serena to the club she had told us about. We met quite a few interesting people, but much to my surprise, we were both nervous about doing anything there, so we had exchanged contact info with a few people, but nothing more. We also have invited Melissa into our bedroom a couple of times, which has been great as well.
It was after our most recent encounter with Brett and Ali that they made us a proposition. They told us that they would like to rent a house on the coast and invite some of their closest friends for a weekend of "inhibition and debauchery", as Brett put it. Laura and I were both intrigued, and agreed to help them set it up. We wasted no time before calling everyone we could think of.
My first call was to my pal John, who agreed immediately. Laura talked to Melissa who also agreed, and asked if she could bring her new boyfriend. Laura also called her friend Gina, whom she'd spoken to only sporadically since our party. Gina politely declined, saying she wasn't interested in "that type of thing." That evening we went to Serena's to gauge her interest. She was just as ecstatic as we were.
We let Brett and Ali know who we had invited and set about finding a house. Since it was the beginning of summer, we had great difficulty locating one. At this point, we knew we would have at least eight people, maybe more so we decided to splurge and go for something fancy. Just when we were beginning to wonder if we'd be able to pull this all off, fate stepped in. My boss, who I'm fairly friendly with, told me that he'd been ordered to go to another branch of the company for two weeks, and wondered if I'd be interested in staying at his place while he was gone. My heart nearly jumped out of my throat! He had an amazing, multi-million dollar mansion on a secluded stretch of beach in Santa Barbara. Laura and I had been invited over for dinner once and were in awe. I was somewhat hesitant to accept, considering what I'd want to use it for, but what the hell, he wouldn't be around, and we'd just make sure to take care of the place, so I accepted.
