You should first read Payson's original story and my Chapter 2 continuation. Payson's original is less than two pages long. I plan to post this before I see Chapter 2 on Literotica, but I assume my Chapter 2 is about four - five pages long.

Liz called on my cell. I was a bit surprised. We did not have a house phone, I knew Amy had talked to her about swapping and swinging, and I assumed Liz would call Amy's cell. After my brief greeting, Liz whispered, "Can you talk?" Amy wasn't home, so I answered, "Yes, I'm alone and ready to talk." I said it loudly enough so Liz would know I was probably alone. She quickly got to the point by telling me they were 90% "all in." Incongruous? I asked her what she meant. She responded, "Phil and I have talked. He's out of town until Friday and we'd like to have a sit down with you and Amy to talk about the rules and some other things he and I will think through before he gets home. Once we are a little more comfortable with where this is going, we'll be all in. Her voice returned to a whisper as she added, "Between you and me, I'm already 100% all in. I'm just humoring Phil. Why don't you have Amy give me a ring and we'll set a time." Before ending my side of the conversation, I said, "I'll tell Amy." I hesitated, then added, "Liz, I'm really looking forward to you being all in." She giggled and disconnected.
Amy called Liz and they worked out the details -- it was to be a clothing required meeting. That meeting turned out to be no big deal. Phil asked most of the questions. They weren't much different from the things Amy and I had discussed before we started partying. Amy was able to answer some of the questions, based on things she and Penny had already discussed. When Phil said, "We're all in," we started discussing the rules -- no anal for moi -- and planning our first party. Everyone opted for "the sooner, the better" choice. I suggested the next night, Saturday, and glanced at Amy. She nodded as Phil asked, "Can you be ready that soon. We don't want to impose." I was in rare form as I replied, "Swapping and swinging parties are never an imposition and we can be ready in about 23 seconds." I was looking at Amy's attire as I said "23 seconds." Phil asked Liz if she could find a sitter on such short notice. Liz nodded and then asked what they could bring. I knew Amy had bought plenty of new towels so I let her handle that conversation with Liz.
Lauren called Amy on Saturday morning. After trading information regarding Lauren's conversation with Penny, Penny's with Amy, ours with Liz and Phil, etc., Amy switched to speakerphone and told Lauren I was also "on the line." Lauren started asking Amy some basic questions, when I interrupted by piping up, "We're partying with the Scotts tonight. You and Fred are welcome to watch if the Scotts agree." Amy yelled,"Shut up" at me, but she was smiling. Lauren declined my invitation. Lauren eventually signed off by adding, "I want to talk with Liz after you guys get together. And, strange as it may sound to you, I want to talk to Fred's ex-wife too." That was surprising, but I assumed Lauren thought she had the kind of relationship with the ex allowing them to have such a conversation. Amy and I gave each other high-5's At this rate, we'd soon be renting out the old armory building!

Amy
Andrew and I spent a little time Friday evening getting the house ready for the next night. We don't leave messes so it wasn't a big deal. I had some Saturday appointments, but I resolved to avoid any for that night. Unless they were really, really important. I was NOT going to be the one responsible for Liz and Andrew missing their first screw-a-thon. Having seen Phil's wet swimming suit-induced bulge, I was a bit anxious to see how my night would turn out.
Phil wasn't a wine drinker, so they had volunteered to bring plenty of stuff for rum and cokes and gin and tonics. Andrew and I agreed we needed to watch each other so we didn't drink too much. This shouldn't turn into an all-you-can-eat buffet. The party was for a different kind of partying. Phil and Liz were obviously apprehensive when they arrived. Phil appeared to have been drinking. Andrew took charge of the situation by taking the drink stuff, while saying to Phil, "It looks like you've gotten a head start; why don't I make three drinks so we can catch up?" Phil had no comeback. We gave Andrew our drink orders and sat in the great room to get more comfortable and prepared for the festivities.
Phil seemed to be less at ease than at any time I could remember. That seemed a bit strange. I gave it a little thought and concluded, if the rumors were true, he did his thing by picking up strange out-of-town women or by seducing discrete married women closer to home. He had trained himself to do those things. This was new to him. He may have participated in group sex before, but assuredly not with his wife and friends. I was interested to see how he reacted to the things Liz and Andrew did. I guess part of my good wife role was to keep Phil distracted enough that he couldn't be too jealous.
My G & T went down way too smoothly. Patience. Liz and I had already discussed girl-on-girl. That was not on her list of things she'd do. I told her I would never press the issue, but I suggested she watch girl-on-girl action in some mild porno movies. I also pointed out she'd likely witness some when we started having larger parties. She and I had decided to begin this party with our clothes on while we danced slowly with our temporary partner. Andrew had selected the music. I knew it would be perfect. It was. The four of danced like two high school couples who planned to have a good time at Prom, but were also antsy to get on with the after-dance nudity.
