"Sometimes on the internet. But really, plenty of people all around are in the lifestyle... People don't advertise it much but you joke around with some friends and you'd be surprised what you'll learn!"
Ellie tried to absorb that information. She pictured her other acquaintances and wondered if she really had other friends who did this. She began to mentally catalog the husbands of her girlfriends, imagining them naked, some between her legs... but when she imagined Eric with any of her girlfriends she began to feel queasy.
"I think I'd be way too worried Eric would fall for someone else," Ellie admitted.
"Well, that's an understandable fear," Jo acknowledged. "When we started out, I was a little afraid of that too. So we started off swinging with another couple. That way it's more like sex with your partner, but with some extra guest stars! Everybody knows they're going back to their own spouse at the end of the night. So there's less chance for feelings to get hurt."
Now Ellie imagined Jo and Eric making love... and the queasy feeling in her stomach shifted a bit into something more like butterflies. It wasn't entirely unpleasant to imagine. But imagining Cole seeing her naked, she said, "It sounds hot, but I'd be so embarrassed!"
Jo explained: "We started out just having sex in the same room with another couple, under the covers with our own spouses. Then things just came naturally. First just joking around flashing each other and showing off, and then touching and making out and so on. Once you get past the initial nervousness your libido takes over and it's just a big play-time for grown-ups! With orgasms."
Ellie couldn't help but laugh at that analogy. Jo was nearly finished with the massage and they mostly remained in silence for the rest of it. Finally Ellie felt Jo gently brush her fingers over her back as she always did at the end of each session. Jo spoke softly, so as not to disturb Ellie's blissful relaxation:
"All right dearie I have another client coming in soon. How do you feel?" Ellie was surprised to hear the conversation return to the normal everyday routine.
"A little shocked, mentally, but pretty good otherwise!"
As Jo left the room for Ellie to change, she turned back with a smile:
"Listen, you already know Cole finds you attractive, and I wouldn't mind getting to know Eric better... If you're ever interested in doing some exploring with us, just give me a call, OK?"
She shut the door before waiting for a response, and Ellie was left alone with her thoughts as she dressed. Her mind had already been spinning from this revelation about her friend, and now Jo's frank admission that she was attracted to Ellie's husband triggered a flash of instinctive jealousy.
But as she stepped back to examine her feelings she realized that under the jealousy was mostly anxiety, fear of the unknown. She had seen that Jo and Cole were devoted to each other as husband and wife, and now that she realized this devotion transcended their open sex life she began to wonder how it would feel to have a marriage like that.
Ellie was a naturally conservative person, but when she decided to stretch her boundaries she didn't often look back. She remembered her revulsion when Eric first told her how often he watched pornography. But once she watched it herself she saw the appeal right away, and they enjoyed watching together frequently now. It had been the same with sex toys: she had been reluctant to try a dildo once, but now she had a collection of her own. She tried to imagine stretching her sexual boundaries yet again: She knew that her marriage to Eric was built on much more than just sexual fidelity. Could it expand to encompass what Jo and Cole had? What would that be like?
Along with jealousy and introspection came a rush of adrenaline, a feeling of aliveness like she felt after a good workout or listening to music. And as she put on her panties she realized she was very wet between her legs.
She pulled her phone from her purse and texted Eric: Got a minute? I have some crazy stuff to tell you!

The days that followed were a whirlwind. Eric was even more shocked than Ellie had been about Jo and Cole's secret. He must have asked her five or six times if she was pulling his leg. But when she revealed her curiosity about experimenting with the two of them, his reaction was nothing like Cole's. In fact he agreed so quickly that Ellie began to have second thoughts about the whole thing, and suggested maybe they should think it through a bit more. But over time, she couldn't help it... every time she thought of Cole behind her in the furnace closet she began to feel warm all over. She found herself initiating sex with Eric almost every night that week. One or both of them would often lead a fantasy by talking about what they would do together with Jo and Cole. She texted Jo every day with more questions about their lifestyle, and Jo patiently replied without pushing.
After a few days of this, she found herself texting Jo that she and Eric were interested, if they still were. Jo replied enthusiastically, and suggested they all spend a night in a hotel downtown. They found a sitter to watch the kids for a sleepover, and before they knew it they were sitting on couches in the hotel bar for cocktails.
Jo sat next to Eric, and Ellie sat with Cole. One drink in, Ellie nearly jumped when Cole touched her leg. She didn't move it away, but didn't reciprocate either. It was nice, but still a bit weird. She watched Eric as he put his arm around Jo and kept checking her mental pulse to see how it felt to see her husband so physically comfortable with another woman. Jo smiled at her, and the jealousy she expected had still not arrived. Maybe she was getting herself worked up over nothing. Still, she took a big swig of her second drink to calm her nerves.
When the drinks were empty and the check was paid and a good long time had passed, there was really nothing left to do but to go upstairs. The conversation lulled, and Jo checked in with Ellie.
"You good, hon? We can just go home if you're not feeling into it any more. No shame in changing your mind - or just waiting a while longer."
Ellie nodded briskly. "I'm good. It's weird, but I'm good. I want to see what happens. I'm scared but also excited. Can we just take things slow?"
Jo patted her leg, "Oh sure! Just relax. We'll take our cues from you, ok? Everyone else good?" Eric and Cole - who both had obvious bulges in their pants throughout the evening - quickly assented. "Well then, no time like the present!" Jo exclaimed, and they made their way up in the elevator to the hotel room.
They'd opted for a room with two queens where they could split up to sleep. Jo informed her a king bed was much more fun, but agreed they should start with baby steps! Once in the room, Jo and Cole got comfortable on the far bed while Ellie and Eric took the near one. Ellie and Eric started slowly, making out and kissing, but Jo and Cole wasted no time getting off most of their clothes. Cole wore black silk boxers, and Jo had on a bright red matching pair of bra and panties. They were obviously used to this, as they had seemingly no inhibitions about getting half naked in front of their neighbors.
Ellie and Eric took a more gradual pace. She unbuttoned Eric's shirt while he felt her thigh beneath her dress. Watching Jo and Cole going at it was a terrible distraction to them: Ellie found herself coming up from her kisses every few seconds to see Jo and Cole getting hot and heavy. In minutes, Jo had pulled down Cole's boxers and was sucking on his cock, her ass raised high in the air while she bobbed up and down on his shaft. Ellie rubbed Eric's cock in his pants while they both turned their full attention to the other couple. Indeed, far from being inhibited, both Jo and Cole seemed to relish having a captive audience!
Cole's was only the second erect adult penis ellie had ever seen in the flesh, and she examined it with interest. It seemed about the same length as Eric's, but considerably thicker, and his balls looked much larger. Ellie couldn't help but stare, and Jo couldn't help but notice. Between licks and slurps, Jo said, "Do you want to come on over and help me out here?"
At first Ellie demurred, and turned back to kiss Eric some more. But then he whispered in her ear that he would really enjoy seeing his cock in her mouth. She felt a flush of heat throughout her body. Eric nodded with a big grin on his face. This WAS fun, wasn't it? Perhaps it was the alcohol, but she decided she had come here to try something new, so she took a deep breath and said, "OK, but Eric's going to help me out of my dress first." Eric happily unzipped her dress, revealing a black lace bra and thong panties. He sucked in air between his teeth when he saw what she was wearing. "Holy cow,are these new?" Ellie looked back at Eric with a sultry smile as she made her way to the other bed. "I bought them special for the occasion." She felt a bit self conscious at first about being so exposed, but when she saw the appreciative look on Cole's face as his eyes roamed her body, a wicked little grin spread across her face.
She crawled onto the bed on her hands and knees toward Jo and Cole, and began kissing Cole's leg as she made her way up towards his crotch. She stopped to explore those very large balls of his. She became aware of his smell. It was different from Eric's, not one she was used to, but just as enticing. More, perhaps, for being new. Jo popped her head off Cole's cock and said, "Your turn!" Ellie looked up and saw that her face was a bit flushed.
Eric had stripped down to his boxer-briefs, and was watching still from the other bed, rubbing the bulge in his boxer briefs while he watched. She beckoned for him to come closer. She tasted Cole's cock - tentatively at first, and then with more gusto. Although she could only get an inch past the head into her mouth, Cole moaned appreciatively. He wrapped a lock of her hair in each of his hands and drove her down harder onto him. She choked a bit on his girth, but his moans made it worthwhile... and she was getting very wet.
