It was Saturday, it was THE day, and John was nervous. Nervous in a way he hadn't been since he was a young man. Since John and Claire's youngest had moved out, having the house to themselves had reignited the passion between them, no more trying to keep quiet, no more "waiting for a free weekend when the kids were out of the house". They were free to be their sexual selves again, to cop a feel in passing, to flash one another, or walk around the house naked, they could drop in the middle of the living room floor and fuck whenever they wanted.

They didn't of course, not at first, life had changed quite a bit since they were those young hungry kids, and so had they. John wasn't so lean and strong. Claire wasn't so svelte and limber. Age, naturally had changed them in ways that made them feel...undesirable. But John still wanted Claire and Claire still wanted John, so it wasn't long before they would cop a feel in passing, or flash one another, they were still a bit timid about walking around the house naked, but they did fuck on the living room floor.

Claire was more of a wild cat than John had remembered, and it didn't take long before this new found freedom pushed her into even more daring behavior. She spoke openly about wanting "to get lucky", she watched porn on her phone in bed next to John, she went to a sex shop and bought a vibrator, she sat on the couch and used it in front of him, and because they didn't have to scurry to not be caught she made John come on her tits and face.

That was the key, there was no hurry, they could take their time and enjoy each other, they could be bold and stupid and kinky, they could say things out loud like "Your pussy is so tight", and "I want to watch you come on my chest". They could organize "picnics" in the backyard, which would lead to sneaking back to a more secluded space between the garage and fence, which would lead to almost being caught by the guy next door.

A small part of John silently feared Claire's libido had would grow to be too much for him, that he wouldn't be able to keep up, that part was usually drown out by the feeling of his spasming cock inside his wife, but after last weekend, that little voice had grown a bit louder.

The young couple from next door had just...appeared...nude, while he fucked Claire in the back yard. They said they wanted to watch, John liked that, he wanted to watch them too, but Claire pulled them in. She kissed the wife, Dani, then had practically served Dani's pussy to John, and sucked the life out of Matt, the husband, all while the older couple continued to fuck.

It all happened so fast that John didn't even have time to think of the repercussions of the event. He enjoyed it, no question, but as he sat in his chair in the living room, alone, ice-packs on his knees while Claire ran next door to invite them back over that he thought maybe that little voice was right.

The week since Claire had been insatiable, and John thought that it was only a matter of time before she got bored with him, that he wouldn't be able to keep up with her, that she'd have to sneak off next door to be satisfied. He knew the thought was ridiculous, knew that the life they'd made, that the love they had, their bond was unbreakable, but when he was alone with just his thoughts, that fear crept in.

It was Saturday, it was THE day, and John was nervous.

John looked himself in the steamy bathroom mirror, freshly shaven. He knew he should feel excited, and he was, but that little voice had gained ground over the past week. He fought to quiet it, fought so hard he didn't notice Claire slip in behind him, but he noticed her drop the towel around his waist and close her hand around his cock.

"Mmmm" Claire hummed happily and kissed John's shoulder, "He feels ready."

Against his dismal thoughts, John smiled, "Ready for what?"

"I don't know..." Claire felt John's cock stiffen slightly, "...Maybe after dinner tonight, he can have a nice dessert?"

"Well don't wear him out just yet." John cautioned her stroking, trying not to show his hesitation.

"I won't..." Claire squeezed slightly and held him, standing on her toes to whisper in his ear "...I just like the way he feels."

"What if..." John hesitated, "What if they don't want it? What if it was, I don't know, some kind of misunderstanding?"

Claire turned him toward her and put her hands on his face, looking up into his eyes. John wasn't the sort to often show vulnerability, that worried Claire. "What's going on? Talk to me?"

The renewed intimacy of last year had given rise to closeness between John and Claire, and John liked that, but he struggled to put his concerns into words. "If nothing happens with Matt and Dani, that will be okay, right? If after tonight it's still just us..."

"...Then I'll be a happy wife." Claire reassured him.

"Will it be enough...for you?" John broke her gaze.

Claire was tempted to mount him on the spot, to show him that after all this time he was all she ever needed, and concerned as she was with the way he felt, she loved when he let his guard down, loved that "Big, Strong, John; Father and Man's Man" was a costume he wore in front of the kids, and that underneath was still just John the person, that was the man she fell in love with.

"John..." Claire pulled him back to looking her in the eye, "The neighbors are coming over for dinner, that's all it has to be. If you want to have fun with them we will. If you don't want to have fun with them, we won't. Either way, it's you and me, and I will be perfectly content."

Claire's words soothed John, but he knew that little voice was waiting in the wings.

"Besides..." Claire added, "...having them over is likely to rile us up. One way or another these..." She cupped his balls, "...are going to be empty tonight."

John could feel the blood flow to his cock. John took a bit longer to get excited these days, but Claire's penchant for dirty talk since she started watching porn put fire in his veins.

Claire leaned in close in close and dropped her voice into a low, sultry register, "Want me to suck you off? Clear your head before the big game? Maybe you can come on my face and I can great them at the door with it?"

John liked the sound of that, liked the idea of his wife greeting company with his seed on her face, a selfish little part of his brain thought that it'd show them, then they'd know she was his. He was full mast, and the only thing keeping him from placing his hand on her head and letting her have his way was the thought that if things did escalate tonight he might not be able to perform. "I don't want to be worn out before they even get here." he grinned, pushing the thoughts away. "If you get me too riled up, I might come all over that girl as soon as she touches me."

Claire swooned at the thought of watching her husband come on Dani's pretty face. She then thought of lovely Matt standing over her, stroking his handsome cock and smiling down at her just like he had in the yard, painting face her with his spend. "Oh..." Claire muttered, glassy eyed, "...I think she'd love that."

"Then maybe you should save some for her." John said, kissing Claire on her on the cheek and pulling her hand off his cock.

Claire shook her head chasing the thoughts away, "I'd better go check on the roast."

The evening moved swiftly after that, John was dressed, Dinner was ready, and the doorbell rang. John and Claire answered the door together, and in walked Dani and Matt.

Dani wore a pretty floral print sun dress with thin straps that bared her shoulders, Matt was in jeans and a simple v-neck t-shirt. Both Claire and John had the same thought, they looked so...normal. The last they'd seen the couple they were so naked, so sensual, so...erotic. Now they just looked like the good looking young couple next door.

"John! It's so good to see you!" Dani's face split into a wide grin and she threw her arms around John like he was a dear friend she hadn't seen in ages. John had forgotten how good she'd made him feel, like sunshine on a cold day.

"Hey Claire, I know you said not to bring any sides, but we couldn't show up empty handed." Matt handed Claire a bundle flowers and smiled. Claire thought she might melt right into the floor as he hugged her, he smelled amazing.

John noticed Dani was hugging him a little longer then normal, he squeezed her tight, his arms all the way around her.

Dani grunted appreciatively, "Oh, you're a really good hugger."

John had expected some sly innuendo, some note of naughty delight in her tone. There was none. She just seemed to like the way he hugged. After the back yard, he'd built her up in his head as a sex goddess, but in his arms was a sweet girl from next door. The thought put him at ease.

John released Dani and she put her arms around Claire, "Oh, you're a good hugger, too." she cooed as Claire held her tight, careful not to crush the flowers.

Claire released her, held her hand and looked her up and down, "You look so beautiful, what a beautiful dress!"

Dani beamed with appreciation, "Oh, thank you. Oh! Your hair looks so cute it frames your face so perfectly!"

Matt put a hand out to John, "John, good to see you."

"Likewise." John said, taking it, he couldn't help but measure Matt up, that little voice in his head almost shouting, "This man wants to fuck YOUR wife." Matt's hand shake was strong and confident, his face was calm and resolute, deep down John was looking for him to crack, to sneer, to smile like a weaselly little bastard and all but say, "I came in your wife's mouth, what are you going to do about it?"

"John." Matt said simply, John came back to his senses, he realized he was squeezing Matt's hand hard. The girls, still fawning over each other's looks, didn't seem to notice.

"Oh, sorry." John muttered, he was taken aback by his sudden anger, "Sorry about that."

Matt simply looked him in the eye and nodded, "Some handshake."

"We still have a few before the roast is done, let me give you a tour!" Claire waved them further into the house. Dani followed giddily.

"Actually, I could use a drink." Matt said, "Sorry, I'm a bit parched."

"Beer alright?" John asked.

"Yeah, that sounds great!" Matt replied. The girls barely noticed and went back through the house, Claire pointing out décor and Dani "Oooing and awwing".

Matt and John walked through the living room silently, John pulled two bottles from the fridge and opened them, handing one to Matt before holding his bottle forward to clink against Matt's.

"Cheers" John said, avoiding eye contact, he felt ashamed at the way he'd acted, and worse that that anger hadn't dissipated completely. The two stood quiet for almost a minute, before Matt spoke up.

"Can I tell you something John? Just kind of air some stuff." Matt asked not looking up from his bottle.

"Sure." John said shortly, he still struggled not to expect snide remark.

"When Dani and I first started...engaging...other couples, I was terrified that she was for it because I wasn't enough for her." Matt looked directly into Joh's eyes, unflinching.

John blanked, he'd expected Matt to say anything but that. "What?"

"I thought that it sounded great, you know, how sexy it was to watch her be with other people, and to be with other people. And it was great, it IS great..." he gestured to John, "...but I was afraid that at some point that feeling would overwhelm me, that one of those times I'd blow up and I'd go home alone." Matt looked down, "That she'd realize how boring I was, that she didn't need me, and that I'd end up alone."

"Or sitting and waiting for her to come home while she was out having fun without you?" John added.

"Exactly that." Matt looked back at John and smiled..

Dani it was clear, was sexy, adventurous, ravenous. John thought about what if he were Dani's husband, would he handle it so well? John had come to think of Matt was some suave, oversexed, lady killer, and to his credit, he certainly looked the part. But now, standing in the kitchen, looking at him, Matt had the look of a man who knew what it was to question the stability of what he held dear.

"So why do it?" John asked.

"Because it's worth it." Matt said simply, "I know it seems counter-intuitive, but it brings Dani and I closer together. It's an intimate experience we share and when we're alone we appreciate each other that much more. I don't know, maybe I'm not doing a very good job at explaining it."

"Is it...like when you go on vacation? You have a great time, but when you come back you appreciate how good it is to be home?"

Matt nodded, sipping his beer, "Actually, yeah. That's a really good way to put it."

"So there was never a point where you were with someone else, and it made you think the grass was greener on the other side?" John asked.

"Short answer, no." Matt shook his head.

"Long answer?" John asked carefully.

Matt smiled "If we found something another couple did and we liked it, we'd learn it, make it our own."

"What if..." John was keen on wording this as delicately as possible, "...what if it wasn't something you couldn't 'learn'?"

Matt nodded, giving John a knowing look "Well, there's toys, we've got a veritable arsenal..." Matt gestured to John, "...other couples you can trust, dirty talk... "

"Yeah..." John interrupted, "...but what if all that's not enough?"

Matt knew that fear, knew it was unfounded and couldn't couldn't stand the light of day, but knew it was real all the same. "Dani always made it clear that it was always going to be 'Us' and that if it wasn't both of us, then it wasn't worth it to her...and for me, our time together has been proof enough that I would never need to doubt her."

The two stood quietly in the kitchen for almost minute.

John whistled, "Some girl you've got Matt."

"Yeah" Matt smiled, "Lousy cook, though."

John laughed hard, and the pressure seemed to rush right out of him. Matt smiled and took a sip from his beer.

John hesitated, he didn't want to push but for his own sake, he had to know. "How'd she 'make it clear'?"

Matt smiled, cocked an eyebrow, and gave John a knowing look.

"Oh..." John muttered.

"You'll have a long week ahead of you." Matt chuckled.

John sighed, "I'm not as young as I used to be."

"I think you'll surprise yourself..." Matt chuckled, "...if not, just try and survive."

John nodded and laughed, that didn't sound too different from the week he'd had already.

After a quiet moment John asked, "Are you nervous?"

"Yeah." Matt admitted genuinely, "I don't think I'll ever not be with this sort of thing."

John felt as if a weight had lifted off of him. Matt and Dani had walked into his yard like they owned the place, walked into John and Claire's sex like the older couple had simply forgot to invite them. But, if Matt was nervous, maybe John wasn't in such bad company.

"Well..." John grinned, "...I'm sure Claire will want to find some way to make you comfortable."

Matt's eyes went wide, "Man, I just hope I can keep up."

"She really snatched you up behind the garage, didn't she?" John chuckled proudly.

"John, for a moment I feared for my life." Matt laughed, but he wasn't joking.

"Mm hmm..." John sipped his beer, "...damn fine cook, too."

Matt held out his bottle to toast again, "Some guys have all the luck." John touched his bottle to Matt's.

"So to be clear..." Matt cleared his throat, "...My wife and I intend to have sex with you and your wife, and if at anytime, anything, and I mean anything, makes you uncomfortable, pull the emergency stop."

John nodded "What's the emergency stop?"

"Well...just say 'Stop', I don't think we need a safe word." Matt shrugged.

"What's a safe word?" John looked confused.

"It's a key phrase, an emergency stop for really rough sex." Matt said simply.

"Some people don't stop when they say 'Stop'?" John asked.

"Some people don't want you to." Matt shrugged again.

John looked confused and concerned.

"We're going to talk everything out first. Go over the rules, make sure everyone's on equal footing." Matt assured.

"Alright..." John furrowed his brow, "...So...to be clear...if this happens...you and I...are we supposed to...?"

"Oh!" Matt exclaimed, "No! I mean, we could? I mean..."

"No..." John put his hands up, "...I don't think I'm ready for that sort of thing."

"That's fine!" Matt assured, "Whatever makes you comfortable! You're just not really my..."

"Yeah...I mean no offense, you're..." John started.

Matt put his hands up, "We don't have to explain ourselves, just be honest with ourselves and everyone else about what you want and don't want, that's the most important part."

"Alright" John nodded appreciatively.

"But...Claire and Dani..." Matt smiled.

"They might leave us both out." John joked.

"Has Claire always been into women?" Matt asked.

"No! Not as long as we've been together. I think Dani just..." John tried to explain.

"Dani makes it so easy." Matt reasoned. "People are just drawn to her. It'd be infuriating if it wasn't so fascinating to watch."

"It's weird that my instinct is to get so worked up about my wife sleeping with another guy, but not with another woman." John shook his head.

"I think it's because we have a hard time seeing other women as a threat, like if it's another guy you think 'what's he got that I ain't got!?' But with a woman you don't worry, because subconsciously you think you've got something she doesn't." Matt theorized.

"Yeah but...should we be worried?" John questioned.

"John, I think we've established we're both a little on edge about this, let's not add gas to the fire, okay?" Matt cautioned.

"That's fair." John chuckled and took another sip. "Think they're nervous too?"

"Oh, yeah. Of course." Matt laughed.

The tour complete, Dani sat on John and Claire's bed, while Claire stood in the adjoining bathroom, cleaning and filling a vase with water for the flowers. Dani looked around the room, kicking her legs off the high queen-sized."Your décor is so nice in here Claire, you're home is beautiful."

"You're such a sweetheart." Claire smiled warmly.

"So..." Dani began in her low, sultry voice, "...got any plans for dessert tonight?"

Claire gave Dani a warning glance. "I know what you're doing Dani."

Dani grinned wide "Why Claire, whatever could you mean?"

Claire shrugged "I'm just saying, you don't have to rile me up. I've been thinking about it all week."

Dani leapt off the bed and walked to the door of the bathroom, she dropped the sultry act, almost bouncing, barely able to contain her excitement "Oh my god, Claire, me too! Seeing the way you handled Matt last week...UGH! It was amazing!"

Claire smirked, "You...liked that?" she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"I like being submissive, and Matt is always 'in charge', so seeing someone take charge of him is a huge turn on!" Dani babbled, "It's just too bad we didn't have more time. He likes when you go slow, he'll play with your hair and say sweet things while you suck him."

Claire's vision swam with the image of beautiful Matt reclining naked, smiling that pretty smile down at her, her head in his lap and her wet lips pulling slowly from root to head. He ran his fingers through her hair and whispered, "Oh Claire, you make me feel so good. Thank you."

"That sounds...nice." Claire grinned wide now and blushed. She lifted the vase shakily and walked passed Dani into the bedroom, setting it on the the dresser. "Did...did he like it?"
