Barb hung up her work clothes in a locker at the gym, wearing her usual gray sneakers, skintight black leggings and Victoria's Secret sports bra. Wendy arrived a few minutes later than usual. She stood in the doorway, silently watching Barb, admiring her smooth, curvy ass, thinking how amazingly sexy it was for a woman of her age, or a women of any age for that matter.
"Hi Barbi."
"Oh, Hi! I didn't hear you come in."
Wendy leaned against the door frame and smiled knowingly. "That's a cute nickname."
"Oh," Barb said, blushing a little. "Did they tell you? How was your weekend?"
"Amazing. We're all in now, Matt and me. I hope you're happy."
"From the look on your face I can tell
you
are," Barb smiled. "Get over here. Tell me everything."
The two women sat on a locker room bench and Wendy spilled the beans.
"So, you know it was supposed to be all about evening things up, letting Matt spend some time with Kelsey..."
"Yeah. Did he love it? That's a stupid question. Of course he did."
"He did," Wendy said, "but there was more. As usual it was all Kelsey's doing. That girl just loves to make things happen..."
"What did she do this time?" Barb asked.
"She invited Richie and Abby, without telling us."
Barb looked at Wendy's blushing face and immediately knew the rest of the story. "Oh my God, Richie? I guess we're sisters in this crazy new world now. Oh my God, Wendy. How was it?"
"Way too good," Wendy said, blushing even pinker. Goosebumps covered her bare arms.
Barb hugged her. "Wow. Okay, this is good. All that wondering and worrying is gone now, right? How's Richie?"
"Remarkably unfazed," Wendy said. "What is it with kids these days? Were we like that when we were there age? So accepting of everything?"
"I think I kinda was," Barb said. "But nothing ever got to the level Austin and Richie are involved in."
"When I was their age I never even knew these kinds of things happened," Wendy said. "Swinging. Family swinging. I guess maybe it's always been a thing. I was just naive."
Barb smiled. "So, six of you on a beach. Now I wish I'd tagged along. Was it as good as I'm picturing?"
"Better."
"What did you think of Abby? She's a cutie, isn't she?"
"Oh my God!" Wendy said quietly. "That girl! Matt was blown away by Kelsey, but I think Abby got to him even more. It worked both ways though. It was easy to see the boyfriend's father thing was really big for her. She still calls him Mr. Nanty. It's just too hot for words."
"Mr. Nanty?" Barb smiled. "Oh yeah, that sounds like her."
"She gave him a handjob he may never recover from, when we were all on our towels putting on sunscreen. That was their first...encounter."
"Wow."
"It was funny, though. After that it was like they were letting the anticipation build, all afternoon and evening. They didn't...fuck...until we were all in the tent."
"You were all in one tent?"
"Yup. A big one with two huge air mattresses that filled the whole thing. The girls put up twinkle lights inside it, so it sort of glowed. Kelsey seems to make everything magical, doesn't she?"
"She does."
"She said it was like an Arabian harem. It really felt that way, with the sand and the lights, and Kelsey and Abby even did some belly dancing in the tent. They even got me to join in. Abby was the only one of us who sort of knew what she was doing. She claimed she was just improvising, but...have you ever seen her dance?"
"No. I'd love to. She said there'll be programs we can go to when she's back at school next semester."
"That little body of hers, when it gets moving, oh my God. I don't know if I've ever seen anything so sensual. The look on Matt's face was...he watched as long as he could, and then he just threw her down and...oh my God it was hot!"
"Wow," Barb said.
"I never knew I enjoyed watching so much," Wendy said. "Especially my
husband!
It's just crazy how it affects me. Crazy!"
Barb smiled. "That's how it's supposed to be. Kay's talked about that. She says if you get off watching your spouse fuck someone else, you know you're in the right hobby."
"She's got that right!" Wendy said. "Good Lord, Matt just about ruined that little girl, and she had this look on her face like it was the best thing
ever
. I had to hold myself back from cheering them on!"
"You should have, girl!" Barb said. "Let it out. Kelsey does, and it always makes me smile."
"She was cheering enough for the both of us!" Wendy chuckled.
"So, you and Richie," Barb said, with her eyes softly smiling. "Now you know why I find him so irresistible. You and me, we share a special love for him."
Wendy's eyes misted up with happy tears. "Oh, Barb. I remember you trying to explain how it is with you and Austin. Now I...I get it. It's just extraordinary, isn't it? I mean...I'm at a loss for words..."
"I know," Barb said, hugging Wendy again. "I know."
"It's sad, in a way, that it's so...taboo," Wendy said. "It sounds crazy to say this, but I wish every mother could experience it. Do you think it's as deeply meaningful for our boys as it is for us?"
"I've talked about it with Austin a little," Barb said. "He gets the depth of it, but it'll never be what it is for us mothers. There's just something so spiritual about it. Did you feel that, or is it too soon?"
"No, I felt it right away. I've never had a really good handle on what God is, but yeah, when I'm with Richie in that way it...it gets me way closer than church ever did, that's for sure."
"It's
so
nice to hear you say that," Barb said. "I was wondering if it was just me, or if I was delusional or something."
Wendy hugged Barb again, holding her even closer and tighter.
