It was nearing noon on Sunday morning when Beth awoke to find Rich lying next to her on his back still sleeping soundly. Both were naked, but that was how they routinely slept, at least in the years since they had moved to Palo Alto.
The room was warm from sun that had been streaming in the windows for several hours. She tossed the sheet aside, thinking, oh my it's late. I wonder what time it is? She raised her head just enough to see the clock and felt a brief moment of panic. It can't be noon, she thought. I'm way late for work. . . Wait! It's Sunday. I don't have work. And we were out late last night. It's okay to sleep in. She sank back into the pillow with a sigh of relief.
Yes, very late, she thought as she remembered the dinner party she and Rich attended the night before. "Hmm, that was really
quite
the evening," she told herself as she stretched her long, lithe body. "Oh my. I'm sore." She suppressed a chuckle so as to not wake up Rich as she thought of how she got that way. She smiled and told herself, "We were very naughty last night . . . and it was delightful." She felt a tingle in her overworked pussy as her mind replayed scenes from their evening with Harvey and Genevieve.
Beth sat up and swung her long legs to the side so that she was sitting as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and pushed her tangled hair back from her face. She worked her toes in the soft rug of their bedroom letting the events of the prior night run through her head. There had been a lot of fucking, but that had been what she and Rich had expected, or at least hoped for, when invited to an evening with Harvey and Genevieve.
Genevieve was the managing partner of Madrone Partners, a Sand Hill Road venture capital firm Beth had recently joined as an administrative assistant. Her husband Harvey was a lawyer, apparently retired to take up the role of Genevieve's boy toy. They had first met the couple several weeks before Beth joined the firm, in a sleazy Mission Street X-rated video theater where the two couples had watched each other engage in lurid public sexβGenevieve fucking furiously with a young man she had barely met while Harvey used his cell phone to video them, and later, Rich fucking Beth as she bent over the back of a theater seat while Genevieve watched and Harvey recorded a video using Rich's phone. When the two women met during Beth's first week of work they had immediately recognized each other. Neither was embarrassed, and Genevieve had invited Beth and her husband to join Harvey and her for dinner, implying there would be more of the lewd conduct the two couples had so enjoyed on their first meeting.
Beth pushed her long red hair back behind her shoulders and walked naked across the soft rug to their bathroom, her large breasts swinging softly before her. The bedroom windows were open, but she was confident that no one could see in, and her comfort with her naked body had reached a point where she didn't really care that much. A number of people had seen her naked on several recent occasions, and every time it happened she came to enjoy it more.
Actually, she thought, it's not that I don't care if people see me naked. I do care. I enjoy itβwhen I want it to happen. It's that I no longer feel like I'm committing a sin when I flash someone. There is still emotion in exposing myself to strangers, either naked or just dressed in a trashy sort of way for the situation, but the emotion, instead of guilt, is a rush from doing something a lot of people would disapprove of. I'm getting away with something. My, how my outlook on life has changed since Rich and I left Ohio.
Beth and Rich had both received a strict religious upbringing in Ohio, taught that sex was something to be engaged in as infrequently as possible and only for the purpose of procreation in a monogamous marriage. About the time they had moved to California, Beth had decided that there had to be some major improvements to their sex life. She and Rich rejected the preaching of their childhood minister and the strict upbringing received from their parents. Their life had changed since they moved to California. Few of the sexual constraints they were raised with applied now, with the possible exception of monogamy. "We kind of blew past that one last night," she said to herself with a smile.
Beth stood in the shower letting the warm water cascade over her, replaying in her mind their decision to accept Genevieve's invitation to what would almost certainly be an evening of spouse swapping debauchery:
* * * * *
Beth had accepted the invitation a week or so earlier, confident that she would have no difficulty convincing her over-sexed spouse to join in. When she initially told her husband of the invitation, he grinned lewdly saying, "Oh that could be interesting.
Very interesting." But he hadn't really responded yes or no. He simply swept her into her arms and carried her off to bed for the evening's second round of sex.
Later, after they had made love and were laying naked in a spoon position, Beth had asked him point blank, "Rich, I told Genevieve we would join them for dinner next Saturday. Are you okay with that?" She was repeating herself, but he hadn't really responded before.
"Sure. Why not?"
"You do realize that Harvey will want to seduce me? He will want to fuck me." She was being as blunt as she could be to make sure Rich understood where they were headed.
"So you want to let him seduce you," he asked. "You want to fuck him?" he said, returning her bluntness.
"Yes," she whispered. "Actually, I want to seduce him."
"That shouldn't be too hard. Do I get to watch?" he responded. "Honestly, it was pretty hot watching him feeling you up that night in the bar." Before they found Harvey and Genevieve in the X-rated theater, Harvey had tried to pick up Beth in a bar at the top of the St. Francis Hotel. Rich had watched from across the bar without intervening.
"Oh, so you liked that did you? I thought that big bulge in your pants was just from that buxom little waitress flashing her tits at you?"
"Well that too," Rich admitted. "But honestly, there was something so hot about watching you and Harvey, not knowing how far you would let him go in such a public place."
"So how far did you think I would have let him go, if Genevieve hadn't arrived and intervened?"
Rich laughed. "That was almost as entertaining as watching his effort to seduce you. She was pissed. He was supposed to meet her in the lobby and instead she found him in the bar trying to seduce you."
"So you liked watching another man seducing your wife?"
"Yes," he growled as he reached around her and began to fondle one of her breasts.
