insulted, “what made you think that?” 

“I'm sorry,” Jim realizing that he'd said the wrong thing tried to
explain, “it's just that you're a very good looking man, you're 
intelligent, well groomed, well dressed, and make a very good living,” 
Jim realized he was overdoing it and finished, “well, it's just that I 
figured if some gal hadn't caught you by now it might be because you 
weren't interested.” 

“Are you coming on to me?”  Jerry was grinning from ear to ear now,
enjoying the discomfort of his new co-worker. 

“I'm not gay!”  Jim pushed back his chair to the wall which made him as
far from Jerry as possible in the small office. 

“Well,” Jerry was laughing out loud now, “neither and I so you can
relax.” 

“I'm sorry,” Jim scooted back to his desk, “I didn't mean anything.” 

“I know,” Jerry smiled and let his co-worker know he wasn't upset, “and
I can see where you'd think I might not be interested in women.”  Jerry 
paused, then added, “I'm only thirty six and just haven't met the right 
lady yet.” 

What Jim had incurred stayed with Jerry that morning.  Jerry thought
about the different girls, and women, he had thought were Ms. Right 
over the years but had all turned out to be Ms. Not-Quite Right.  Jerry 
knew he was what single women would call a catch.  He was a little 
taller than Jeff even, slender but not skinny, handsome but not 
egotistical about it and very successful in his job. 

“Hey,” Jeff Dotson spoke the moment he'd poked his head around the
corner and into the small office, “Lori wanted me to ask you if you had 
any plans for Friday night.' 

“No,” Jerry shook his head and pretended to be checking his office
planner, “ I don't think so,” he stopped thumbing the pages and then 
added, “well, I guess I do have a date with Terri Hatcher,”  Jerry 
picked up his phone without looking up yet, “Hey Terri, I know we 
planned on Friday but could I get a rain check?”  He pause just a 
second then finished before putting the phone back down, “Thanks, babe, 
I'll get back with you.”  Jerry then looked at Jeff and smiled as he 
spoke, “Now where does Lori want me to take her?” 

“OK, nice act,” Jeff was impressed with his friend's imagination, “but
we'd just like for you to come over for some burgers and good company.” 


“Sounds good to me,” Jerry nodded his agreement as he spoke, “and I'm
always happy to be around your gorgeous wife.” 

“That reminds me of a new joke,” Jeff was now standing in the doorway
which totally blocked the two men in the small office and made them his 
captive audience as he spoke, “A white man was telling his Indian 
friend about his wife's birthday and said he'd gotten a new knife for 
her.”  Jeff paused before giving the punch line, “The Indian friend 
just grunted and said, ‘good trade'.” 

Jim laughed but Jerry just shook his head in disgust as he spoke,
“That's just wrong, Jeff!” 

“Well,” Jeff spoke over his shoulder as he turned to leave, “what would
you know Mr. Single-and-free?”  He laughed, and before he was out of 
ear shot added, “how about around sever Friday?” 

“Sounds good to me,” Jerry needed to almost shout across the showroom,
“I'll bring some wine.” 

The week went by pretty slowly.  The economy wasn't the greatest and
sales were down.  If it hadn't been for the plans for Friday, Jerry 
might have been caught up in the depression of the sales force.  But, 
Jerry always looked forward to seeing and being around Lori Dotson.  He 
had always wondered how someone like Jeff had made such a great catch.  
He had known Jeff and Lori for about six years and often wished he'd 
met her a few years earlier and before Jeff had.  And, he'd often 
wondered that if he and Jeff weren't friends he might just try to steal 
her away.  But, they were friends and he'd never do anything to harm 
their relationship in any way at all.  And, besides, Lori wasn't the 
type to even consider cheating on her husband anyway. 

By Friday Jeff and Jerry had both made sales.  Even in the bad economy
it seemed they always did.  Jeff was the top salesman but Jerry was 
never far behind. 

“See you around seven,” Jeff spoke just as the two were getting into
their cars in the salesman's parking lot, “and, Jerry,” Jeff had a very 
uncharacteristically speechless moment before adding, “wear some nice 
cologne, OK?” 

“Why,” Jerry was puzzled by his friends' request but had to grin at the
absurdity of it, “do I smell that bad?” 

“No,” Jeff had to think quickly for an acceptable answer, “it's just
that Lori likes you and I like to keep her happy.” 

“OK,” Jeff could tell that something wasn't just right with Jeff but
decided to let it lie, “see you at seven.” 

As Jerry drove home he kept thinking about what Jeff had said.  But,
after he shaved he did reach for his special after shave and cologne 
and used a tad more than he'd normally use. 

Jerry stopped by the liquor store and purchased two bottles of wine that
he would only, normally, buy for special occasions.  He didn't know 
why.  He'd been to their home numerous times before.  But, something in 
what Jeff had said, in how he'd said it, and the unusual mood that Jeff 
had been in told Jerry that something was different about this evening. 


“Hey,” Jeff was grinning from ear to ear as he opened the door to let
Jerry in, “come on in.”  Jeff reached out for the two bottles of wine, 
looked at them, and as he took them added, “Wow, special stock,” 

“Hey,” Jerry raised an eyebrow and saw Lori coming around the corner
from the kitchen, winked at her and added, “special lady.” 

“Hi Jerry,” Lori spoke in a different way than she usually did and
averted eye contact with Jerry, “make yourself comfortable,” she then 
did look him in the eyes and Jerry sensed something, but she quickly 
averted her eyes again and finished, “dinner is almost ready if you're 
hungry.” 

“No hurry,” Jerry quickly added and walked to Lori and gave her the
usual hug that he always looked forward to, “whenever.” 

Jerry sensed something was wrong.  He could feel the tension in the room
even though everything was pretty much the way it always was when he 
was over.  But, something was definitely different. 

“Lori likes you a lot,” Jerry was almost whispering to, apparently, keep
Lori from hearing while she was busy in the kitchen, “and you and I are 
best friends, right? 

“Well,” Jerry had no idea where this was going to go but tried to answer
as honestly as he could, “you know I like Lori,” he paused and looked 
at Jeff before adding, “and sure, we're good friends.” 

“Can I tell you something and have your promise that you'll never tell
anyone and won't think badly of me,” Jeff paused before adding, “or 
Lori,” he then collected his thoughts again and continued, “even if you 
totally disagree with what I say?” 

Jeff didn't answer immediately but took the time to consider what Jeff
had asked first. 

“Sure,” Jerry nodded his agreement, “I'll promise that.” 

“I've been trying to talk Lori into swinging.”  Jeff just threw it out
there. 

“Are you talking about what I think you are?”  Jerry had never been
shocked by anything Jeff had said before now. 

“Well,” Jeff paused, “sort of.” 

“What do you mean,” Jerry raised his eyebrows, “sort of?” 

“Well, I don't mean wife swapping with other couples,” Jeff looked down
at the floor as he spoke, “I just mean being more open about letting 
each other have sex with other people.” 

“And,” Jerry looked Jeff in the eyes, “Lori is OK with this?”  Jerry
didn't give Jeff time to respond before adding, “And you've told her 
about all the times you've already done it?” 

“Hell no,” Jeff got a little grin as he spoke, “she'd kill me right
before she left me.” 

“So,” Jerry had already put two and two together and knew where he stood
in this but wanted to confirm it, “why are you telling me this?” 

“Because,” Jeff stumbled for the best way to say it, “every time I
mention her being with another man she always says that you'd be the 
only one she'd be interested in.”  Jeff didn't give Jerry a chance to 
say anything before clarifying, “and I know she does like you, but I 
also know she was saying, you, thinking I'd never go along with it if 
it were you.” 

“And,” Jerry couldn't help but smile at how uncomfortable his, usually
so confident, friend was, “would you go along with it?” 

Jeff only nodded his head in agreement but didn't say a word. 

“And,” Jerry had to know, “would Lori go along with it?” 

“Well,” Jeff looked at Jerry, “I sort of tricked her a little,” he
paused and then continued, “and it took some real salesmanship on my 
part,” he paused one more time before finishing, “but she said she 
would if it's really what I want.” 

“And,” Jerry was considering every word carefully like he would when
closing a sale, “do you really want her to?” 

“Jerry,” Jeff had regained his composure now that he'd said what had
been so difficult to say, “you've never been married.”  Jeff leaned 
back and was now speaking in a more normal tone, yet still low enough 
that he didn't think his wife could hear.  “You couldn't possibly 
understand but the thought of your wife fucking another guy is a real 
turn-on to lots of husbands.” 

“Really?”  Jerry sounded incredulous but was interested.  And, all the
talk about the possibility of being with Lori had his heart racing and 
other organs responding in similar ways. 

“In fact,” Jeff grinned as he explained further, “I'd love to be there
and watch.” 

“No way!”  Jerry didn't hesitate to make his thoughts clear. 

“That's,” Jeff laughed out loud, “exactly what Lori said.” 

“So,” Jerry spoke slowly and clearly, “what's in this for you then?” 

“Well,” Jeff had to reassure himself that Jerry would keep this
confidential, “if Lori is fucking you then I'd be able to spend the 
whole night with Jean.” 

“Jean?”  Jerry had never been surprised by anything Jeff had said or
anything Jeff had done until tonight, but, not only the revelation 
about what he wants Lori to do, but now, this.  “Jean in the office?”  
Jerry paused before adding, “Twenty year old Jean?” 

“Shussh,” Jeff reminded Jerry that Lori just in the other room.  “You
promised.” 

“I did promise,” Jerry assured Jeff, “I won't say a word.” 

“So,” Jeff raised his eyebrows, “are you in?” 

“I certainly want to be,” Jerry answered very honestly, “but I need to
think about the consequences and I need to know, for sure, how Lori 
really feels.” 

“Lori,” Jeff didn't shout but did use his normally loud voice, “could
you bring us all three a glass of that great wine?” 

It wasn't but a moment before beautiful Lori rounded the corner with the
three glasses on a tray. 

It only took an awkward moment more for her to sit one down in front of
each of the men and then place the third beside Jerry's on the coffee 
table in front of the couch where Jerry was sitting. 

It was only a moment later when Lori put the tray on the table beside
the recliner where her husband sat, then turned and sat down beside 
Jerry on the couch. 

“Did he tell you?”  Lori placed her hand on Jerry's thigh and looked him
straight in the eyes as she asked. 

“Yes.”  Jerry tried to get some reading, some feeling, some indication
as to just how Lori felt about all of this. 

“Well?”  Lori still gave no sign and showed no emotion at all as she
spoke. 

“How do you feel about all this?”  Jerry knew he was in a ‘closing'
moment and was careful to not say too much. 

“I agreed to it,” Lori still showed no emotion, “and it wasn't at
gunpoint or threat of divorce.” 

“Lori,” Jerry could feel his hands getting wet with his nervousness, “I
think you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met.”  Jerry placed his 
hand on hers which was still on his thigh.  “And, I'll admit to having 
the hots for you from the first moment I saw you.”  Just as Lori was 
about to speak Jerry continued, “And, Lori, the more I got to know you 
the more I fell for you.” 

“You're sweet,” Lori, for the first time, smiled slightly, “I guess
that's why I finally agreed to this,” she looked at Jeff for a brief 
moment and the smile left her face, “and,” she looked back at Jerry and 
smiled again, “you're not only handsome,” she hesitated and sniffed, 
“you smell just wonderful tonight.” 

“So,” Jeff was nervously shifting in his recliner, “do you two want me
to leave?” 

“No!”  Jerry and Lori spoke simultaneously. 

“Not tonight,” Jerry grasped Lori's hand and squeezed it reassuringly,
“We need to all give this meal of information a little while to digest 
before I experience the best dessert I've ever had.” 

“Thank you, Jerry,” Lori leaned in and kissed Jerry on the cheek, “I'm
so glad you understand.” 

“So,” Jeff watched his wife and his friend and felt a tinge of jealousy
in the way they seemed to relate to each other so well, “when?” 

“I'll let you know.”  Jerry wanted to say yes right then and take Lori
to the bedroom but knew that would be just wrong. 

“We'll let you know,” Lori kissed Jerry on the cheek again and added,
“afterwards.” 

“Afterwards?”  Jeff hadn't considered this.  He'd thought that this
would all be under his control.  He'd thought he'd be in charge and set 
the time and place.  Hell, he'd thought it would be tonight. 

“Afterwards,” Lori reaffirmed, “we'll let you know right after so you'll
be free to do whatever you're planning on doing.”  The way Lori said 
this surprised both men.  For the very first time Lori seemed to be in 
total control.  And, after making her statement Lori took Jerry by the 
hand, stood and pulled Jerry up with her and spoke in the most natural 
voice.  “Dinner's ready.” 

It was very awkward at work on Monday.  Jerry and Jeff probably didn't
say two words more than good morning. 

Jerry did notice, for the first time, the interaction between Jeff and
Jean though.  And, he had to admit, if he didn't know, he'd never 
suspect.  Jeff was good at hiding things like this but he'd never 
suspect a twenty year old girl could be that savvy.  This must not be 
her first married man. 

Jerry couldn't keep his mind off of Lori.  He knew he couldn't help but
go along with this but wondered is she would.  It was just going to 
have to be her first move. 

On Tuesday Jeff did make an effort to be with Jerry alone. 

“Have you decided?”  Jeff almost whispered even though nobody was near. 

“Jeff,” Jerry spoke softly, “Lori is the perfect woman.”  Jerry paused
before going on, “I'd be a fool not to take advantage of an opportunity 
like this but I won't take advantage of her.”  Jerry noticed that Jeff 
had a very disappointed look on his face so Jerry clarified, “But if 
she makes it clear that she's wanting to be with me, then yes indeed, 
I'm in!” 

“I'll talk to her and hurry her up.”  Jeff smiled and started to leave. 

“No,” Jerry placed his hand on Jeff's shoulder to stop him, “don't say a
word to her and let it be her call, OK?”  Jeff didn't respond so Jerry 
reiterated, “OK?” 

“OK.”  Jeff spoke and walked away. 

On Wednesday Jerry noticed that Jeff was making more trips to the main
office than would be normal.  He couldn't help but think that today, 
even if he'd not suspected or known before, he'd have figured out the 
affair. 

Jerry got home a little later than usual Wednesday evening.  He'd had a
sale that required a little overtime to close but was very rewarding 
and well worth the extra time. 

He felt good about the sale and was just relaxing in his hot tub and
thinking, again, about Lori.  His thoughts had her there with him and 
he reached down and used his hand, imagining it was hers, to stimulate 
himself to a full erection which always felt good. 

He was so into his masturbation session that he considered not answering
the phone that was ringing somewhere in a distant world. 

It stopped ringing and Jerry continued his manipulations that were sure
to bring some fulfillment soon.  Not the fulfillment he desired, but a 
temporary relief that he so needed after five days of thinking about 
his Lori. 

Just as he got out of the water to finish himself without soiling his
hot tub, the phone rang again. 

‘Well, shit!' Jerry thought to himself as he realized that the
combination of getting out of the warm water and the irritating ringing 
had ruined the moment. 

“Hello!”  Jerry spoke with annoyance in his tone. 

“Hi Jerry,” Lori sounded a bit concerned and added, “did I catch you at
a bad time?” 

“Well,” Jerry couldn't help chuckling and quickly added, “I was actually
thinking about you.” 

“Me?”  Lori asked then continued before Jerry could answer.  “And that
made you sound annoyed?” 

“What annoyed me was losing you when the phone rang.”  Jeff was now
using his free hand to, again, bring himself to full erection, but this 
time, while hearing Lori's sweet voice. 

“And,” Lori couldn't help asking, “just what were we doing?” 

“What I've wanted to do for years,” Jerry admitted honestly, “be with
you alone.” 

“Can I come over now?”  Lori hadn't planned on this being ‘that' phone
call.  She had called to ask if Jerry knew where Jeff was since he was 
so late getting home.  She had no intentions of asking if she could 
come to Jerry's house. 

“Absolutely.”  Jerry knew that nothing else needed saying.  He'd been in
sales long enough to know when enough was said. 

The drive to Jerry's house seemed to take forever.  Lori wished she'd
taken the time to shower and do her hair and makeup but she was in her 
car and on the way without thinking about anything else. 

Jerry knew it'd take about thirty minutes so he quickly too the
opportunity to brush his teeth, shower, shave and use that special 
after shave and cologne that Lori had commented on. 

When he was finished he considered getting dressed but decided, instead,
to simply put his robe on. 

He couldn't help but chuckle at the fact he'd come so close to
ejaculating just moments before Lori's call. 

Lori gave a moments thought to calling Jerry on her cell as she rounded
the corner to his house.  She could simply call and say she'd changed 
her mind.  But, she'd given this a lot of thought and this was 
something she wanted, very much, to do. 

“Hi,” Jerry pulled Lori into him and felt her tremble as he hugged her. 

“Hi.”  Lori almost whispered back, unable to really speak. 

“Are you sure?”  Jerry asked and was terrified she'd say no. 

“I'm sure,” Lori put her arms around Jerry's neck and, for the first
time ever, kissed him on the lips, then let her body melt into his and 
added, “very sure.” 

Jerry didn't want anything to happen to end this moment.  He wanted to
disconnect the door bell and throw the cell phones in the hot tub.  He 
let, his, Lori escape his embrace only long enough to lead her to his 
bedroom and to his bed. 

As Jerry helped Lori to undress, somehow his robe had also vanished. 

Lori looked at Jerry and, for the first time, noticed just how well
built he was.  His shoulders were wider than a shirt showed, his chest 
stronger, his stomach just the right about of firm, and yes, his 
genitals were meeting her approval as well. 

Jerry, couldn't wait for his Lori to become totally nude before enjoying
her.  As he got her sweat shirt off he immediately began to taste and 
feel her perfect breasts with his mouth. 

As he undid her jeans he kissed her stomach and let his tongue explore
her navel until he managed to work her jeans, with her panties in them, 
down and off her tiny feet. 

Then he couldn't help wanting to kiss those beautiful, perfect, little
feet and, putting her on his bed he slid down and did just that.  After 
kissing and licking both he began the wonderful journey up her legs and 
to her soft pubic hair. 

It felt wonderful on his freshly shaven face.  Soft, smooth, and it
smelled so good too.  He'd always enjoyed a woman's smell and was glad 
she didn't smell like she'd just gotten out of the bath.  It was her 
smell, not soap or perfume, and her smell was unique and more wonderful 
than any of the girls and women he's experienced before. 

Lori stopped Jerry just long enough to turn around and finally have her
mouth where only her hands had been before.  He felt hard and yet so 
soft.  He was being so much gentler than she was accustomed to and she 
loved the feel, but she also loved the feel of him in her mouth.  
Unlike, what she often had to experience, he was being considerate and 
letting her take as much, or as little, as she enjoyed taking. 

“Please stop,” Lori uttered as she let him slip from her mouth, “I need
to have you,” she was turning around and climbing up on top of Jerry as 
she spoke in a desperate voice, “I need you now.” 

And, she took him right then.  She marveled at how wonderfully wet she
was and how easily she slid down the length of that wonderful shaft.  
She purred at the feel of his hands working her breasts and nipples, 
gently, so gently, so different, so wonderfully enticing. 

It felt so wonderful.  They both wanted this moment to last forever but,
they both also needed to consummate the long awaited, and long desired 
coupling they were sharing.  The both knew this wouldn't be the last, 
but they had to wonder if it would always be the best. 

Like magic, like the magical moments that only happen once in a
lifetime, Lori climaxed while sinking down on Jerry, then continued to 
feel spasms as she lifted up and almost off, then climaxed even harder, 
again, on the next down stroke.  Even thought she didn't think she 
could take any more of the pleasure, she continued to climax, again, 
and again, on each down stroke and regain strength each time she lifted 
up. 

Jerry couldn't take the extreme pleasure and, on the third or fourth
down stroke that he knew Lori had found her ultimate pleasure in, he 
began to add his fluid to hers, that had soaked his pubic hair already. 


Jerry ejaculated on each, of four or five, of her strokes and remained
hard enough to savor the rest of her long orgasm with her. 

“That was incredible.”  Lori spoke when she'd fallen off of Jerry, laid
beside him and caught her breath. 

“You are incredible,” Jerry got up on his elbow, stroked Lori's
wonderful body and kissed her full on the lips, “I've wanted you 
forever.” 

“I've wanted you too,” Lori returned his kiss and tentatively tasted his
lip with her wet tongue, “and you are even more than I ever imagined.” 

“You too,” Jerry spoke between kisses, “I don't want to give you up now
though.” 

“We can certainly entertain that.”  Lori spoke with a confidence that
indicated some prior consideration that Jerry couldn't know. 

“What do you mean by that?”  Jerry was obviously intrigued. 

“Jeff didn't make me do this.”  Lori spoke in a very calm manner.  “He
wanted me to do it but he didn't make me.  I did it because I wanted 
to.”  Lori turned to Jerry, smiled, and kissed him sweetly on the lips. 
 “I've wanted you for a long time but never gave that desire any real 
thought until Jeff started this ‘open marriage' thing.”  Lori kissed 
Jerry once more before finishing.  “I didn't really plan on it 
happening tonight, Jerry, it just did.” 

“But I thought,” Jerry started to go on but was stopped when Lori put
her finger to his lips. 

“I know,” Lori grinned, “I called you, but it was to find out where Jeff
was, not to come and fuck your brains out.”  Lori and Jerry both 
laughed at her use of such foreign, for her, language. 

“Well,” Jerry reached down and felt of how wet Lori was from his, and
her, fluids, “I'm certainly glad to have contributed to this.” 

“I'm going to divorce Jeff.”  Lori just blurted out. 

“No,” Jerry looked very serious now, “Lori, I had no intentions.” 

“Hush,” Lori once again put her finger to Jerry's lips, “it has nothing
to do with this, it's something that I knew before.”  She thought a 
second and explained further, “I know he's been cheating and I knew 
this was his way of not having to feel guilty about it.”  She chuckled 
and added, “Now that's the ultimate having your cake and eating it too, 
isn't it?” 

“Well, I just don't want to be the cause of a relationship ending.” 
Jerry really felt bad for Lori and a little for Jeff too right then. 

“You're not at all,” Lori assured Jerry, “I had decided that if I did go
along with his request, with whoever, it would be the end to our 
marriage,” she smiled knowing she'd made a life changing decision and 
was quite comfortable with it, “and so now it's over and I'm in the 
arms of a person I've loved for a long time.” 

“I love you too,” Jerry said the words he'd thought so many times, “and
I want you forever.” 

“So,” Lori spoke first after a very long, passionate, kiss, “who's
telling Jeff?” 

“I will,” Jerry didn't hesitate, “I'll do it tonight.” 

Jerry got out of bed and began to get dressed. 

“Do I need to leave now?”  Lori started to get up too. 

“No, you just lay there and think of all the wonderful things we'll do
when I return. 

“Where are you going,” Lori looked confused and just as Jerry was about
to leave the room added, “and when will you be back?” 

“It'll only take about a half hour,” Jerry reached in a drawer of his
dresser and took something out, “you just wait here and be ready for a 
wonderful night.” 

Jerry just happened to know where Jean lived.  On Monday he'd checked
the files and gotten her address and had driven by her house, which was 
close to his, several times just to see if Jeff's car was there. 

It didn't take him but about five minutes to get there, and sure enough,
Jeff's car was in the driveway. 

“Oh, uh,” Jean was peeking around the door and stammered when she saw it
was Jerry, from work, “hi Jerry, what's up.” 

“Oh nothing really,” Jerry just smiled at the young lady who was
probably naked while she talked to him, “I need to speak to Jeff a 
moment.” 

“Jeff?” Jean tried to sound innocent. 

“It's OK,” Jeff had heard the exchange and had gotten out of bed himself
and come to the door, “what's up, Jerry?” 

“Oh,” Jerry acted as nonchalantly as he knew how, “we'd just promised
that you'd know as soon as we did it,” he paused for affect, “and my 
friend, we did it.” 

There was a moment of silence and Jerry could see the different emotions
going through Jeff as his face changed expressions and color. 

“So,” Jeff said but couldn't find any words to go after it. 

“So,” Jerry reached out and took Jeff's hand an shook it, “so,” Jeff
then reached in his pocket and took out the new Swiss Army knife he' 
purchased for, really not thinking he'd ever have this opportunity to 
put it to the use he was so happy to now do, “good trade!”
