I had first gotten together with Rachel 10 years ago in college. I was a Biology nerd, fit from running cross country in high school. Rachel was a sci-fi geek with a bubbly personality, but somewhat conservative in dress. Rachel revealed that she had not enjoyed the attention her 32 DD breasts brought her in high school, and so she hid her hourglass frame with loose blouses and flowing skirts.
We had been each other's firsts for everything. We had explored kissing, hand jobs and oral sex for the 5 years before having intercourse for the first time on our wedding night. I think most couples would have been frustrated at waiting for intercourse, but Rachel was very skilled with handjobs. Similarly, she found the combination of my fingers inside of her and my tongue on her clit to be electrifying. But then again, once we added intercourse, it soon became Rachel's favorite, and we quickly discovered that she was one of the rare women who could orgasm from penetration alone.
I think we would have both rate our sex life as satisfying, however I think we both noted it lacked a certain spark. Sure, we had explored with toys and ever anal sex, but both of us at our core were a bit submissive. Looking back, I think both of us really desired for the other to just take control in the bedroom and give commands. Unfortunately, neither of us had the courage to admit that this is what we craved.
Things changed dramatically for us on our 5th anniversary trip to Italy. We were there in the in the middle of April, warm enough, but before the real tourist season began. After days of hiking and site seeing, we spent the morning shopping in a quiet town. We sat down at a café ordered lunch.
While waiting, we were discussing Dr Who. Rachel commented, "I still really like the 10th doctor the most."
I countered, "Matt Smith was way better as the 11th than Michael Tennet was."
Just then a voice chimed in from behind us, "No I bet you are just like my husband and think his companion is cuter."
Rachel and I turned to see a short blond girl in her late 20's speaking to us from the next table. I started to blush, but before I could stammer a response the woman grinned and said, "Hey, I'm Alice."
"I'm Michael and this is my wife Rachel. And you are wrong, I like his mannerisms more."
We debated the finer points of who the better doctor was until another man joined us. Alice introduced him as her husband Adam. As we ate lunch, we talked more and found out that Alice and Adam were from Ohio, but they had gone to college in Minnesota near where Rachel grew up We all had a love of sci-fi shows and board games.
After paying our bills, Alice and Adam invited us to their room to play board games to get out of the sun for a while. Being tired from the hiking the previous few days we agreed. We were soon playing Settlers of Catan and having a good time.
After a few games they decided to play scrabble. As they were setting up, I said to Rachel, "Remember that time that my sophomore year roommates tried to turn scrabble into a strip game and their girlfriends walked in on them?"
Rachel giggled, "Least sexy thing they saw, 2 guys, debating the use of proper nouns in their underwear!"
Adam interjected, "I don't know, it sounds fun... It would keep people more invested."
Alice added, "I think it sounds fun... let's try it, besides we aren't just a couple of guys."
I was surprised when Rachel agreed, and so I too went along with it.
Adam asked, "So how does it work?"
I replied, "I think they played every 20 points the winner won by the other person had to take off an article of clothing."
Alice asked, "How will it work with 4 of us? Maybe the first-place winner compares their score to the 4th place person, and the 2nd place person compares to the 3rd place person. That way there will be 2 winners and 2 losers."
Everyone ended up agreeing that this seemed reasonable, and we were quickly engrossed in the game.
I ended up winning the first game with 205 points, Alice with 186 points, Rachel in a close third with 180 points, and Adam with 160 points.
Alice teased her husband, "Looks like you lost to Michael by 45 points, start stripping off 2 items!" Adam nonchalantly kicked off his sandals and then slowly unbuttoned his shirt, and then mocking a stripper, twirled it around in the air before, throwing it over Alice's head.
Alice giggled a moment, her gaze lingering on her husband's six pack, before turning to Rachel and saying, "Now it is your turn."
Rachel protested, "But I only lost to you by 6 points, that's way less than 20, so I don't think..."
Before she could finish, Adam interrupted, "Yeah, but you came in 3rd, you should at least lose 1 item, besides it's only your sandals."
Rachel looked at me, hoping I would help her out. I'll admit to being a little excited to see things progress, and just shrugged, "It does seem fair".
Alice encouraged her, "Come on... it's only your sandals. They aren't even covering much of anything."
I saw Rachel hesitate a moment longer before acquiescing and kicking her sandals off under the table.
The second game was more technical with 2 and 3 letter words played strategically. You could see Rachel fiercely looking to score every point possible. I loved when she got competitive at home. Adam and Alice continued having a good time, joking throughout the game at bad hands.
