"Yeah, but we still have to forgive each other,"
Craig said, looking unhappily at his wife. "I know I'm being sexist, but I find it really hard to forgive Dotty for balling another guy."
"Well, how do you think I feel?" Dotty said, starting to cry. Do you think it was easy for me to catch you fucking my best friend? I find that hard to forgive, too, Craig."
Things were getting out of control again. Tina waved her hands for silence and said quickly, "All right, everybody. Sure, it's going to take awhile for
us to get over the shock of finding out about all this. But in the meantime let's have a little fun. Let's not spend the whole night fighting."
"I'll go for that," said Howard. "What kind of fun did you have in mind, Tina?"
As a matter of fact she didn't have anything in mind and was thinking frantically, trying to come up with a game that would thoroughly absorb everyone and make them forget their bitter feelings. The only completely absorbing thing she knew of was sex, however. Then a very wicked idea came to her, and Tina faced the small group with a mysterious smile.
"Okay," she said, "we're going to play a game." There was a collective moan, and Ralph said, "Honey, that's so childish. Can't you think of something better?"
"Oh, I assure you this is a very grown-up game," Tina said with an impish grin. "Kids can't even play it. And it involves something that everyone heft loves to do."
"Okay, I'll bite," said Dotty. "What is it, Tina? What do we have to do?"
"Oh, it's very simple and easy," Tina said. "We just turn out all the lights, take off our clothes, and make love to the first partner we bump into."
There was a gasp of shock. They all stared at her, and then finally some of them-Ralph, Dotty and Craig-began to grin. The others looked doubtful.
"But-but that's adultery," Beth said. "That's what we're all arguing about already."
"Exactly," said Tina. "We already do it-so why
not admit it and enjoy it? The damage is done, Beth, and I have a feeling nobody's gonna quit seeing his lover. So why don't we all be frank about it-and become swingers?"
Again there was a long silence while they all pondered Tina's proposal. Tina hoped they'd all agree to it, because she didn't see any other happy way out of their dilemma. She knew she wasn't going to stop balling Craig, not now that she'd learned what a fantastic lay he was. She didn't want to deceive Ralph, though, or sneak around. Open swinging seemed to be the answer.
"Okay," Craig said, "I'll go for Tina s idea. It makes sense.
"Me, too," said Dotty. "If we're all gonna play around, we might as well be honest about it."
"I'll go for it, too," said Ralph. "It's only fair-let everybody do it. And we won't have to lie."
Howard and Beth, the most inhibited couple, held back, but finally Howard gave a big sigh and said, "Yeah, I guess you people are right. I feel a little timid about swinging, but it is better than sneaking around."
Beth blushed hotly and said, "Well, okay, I don't want to be a spoilsport. I feel like Howard, pretty uptight about being a swinger, but I don't like to lie, either. I guess Tina is right-we ought to bring it out in the open."
Tina breathed a big sigh of relief. "Right on," she said. "That's the spirit, everybody. Now let's get on with the game. I'll turn out all the lights. Then all we do is take off our clothes, crawl
around, and get it on with the first person we meet-the first person of the opposite sex, that is."
"Oh, shit," Craig said in falsetto, "I wanted Ralph."
They all laughed-mostly to cover up their nervousness. It was a rather daring experiment they were about to perform-not only committing open adultery, but getting it on with an unknown person. For in the Wests' windowless basement they wouldn't be able to see a thing with the lights out. They couldn't possibly know who their partners were. Not until the whole thing was over and the lights on again would they know who they'd fucked.
"Okay, everybody," Tina said, her hand on the main light switch, "get ready. Here goes. One, two, three."
She cut the current and plunged the large rec room into total darkness. A woman squealed, and a man chuckled. Then there was silence except for the rustling of clothes as everyone stripped naked. Soon they'd be crawling around in the dark, touching each other…
Tina quietly slipped off her sandals, jersey, and slacks. She hesitated over her panties. Right now her great idea seemed totally crazy to her. My God, what if the other neighbors found out that Mrs. West had organized a nude group grope in her rec room? But it was too late to back out- Tina slipped out of her panties, blushing furiously-and glad that no one could see her blush.
She was afraid to try walking upright, afraid of breaking something, so she dropped to her hands
and knees and started crawling. She wished she'd paid more attention to where Craig was standing when the light went out, because it was Craig she wanted to find.
Out there in the grove when the policeman's spotlight went on, revealing everybody's little secret, she and Craig had been right in the middle of a really hot fuck. In Tina's fevered memory it was the best fuck they'd ever had-and they'd been interrupted, dammit. Neither of them had had time to come before the big discovery and uproar.
She could remember being on her hands and knees, clawing the grass and howling with joy as she took the repeated deep hard jabs of Craig's thick erect cock. She remembered wanting it to go on all night. She started creaming hotly again as she thought of it. If only they hadn't been interrupted
Yes, Craig was the one she had to find, so they could continue that fantastic ball. He must feel the same way. Probably he'd noted where she was standing when the lights went out and was making his way toward her. She recalled that he'd been roughly in the center of the room, and she started in that direction-or in what she thought was that direction. It was really hard to tell with the lights out.
What if she ran into the wrong guy? Tina didn't worry about that. She was sure she'd know Craig even in the dark, just by the exciting feel of his tall hard body. If it weren't him, she'd escape somehow and fine him. The sooner the better-her poor thwarted pussy was swollen and aching after that
interrupted fuck.
Suddenly she bumped heads with somebody.
"Ow," she muttered-then remembered to be quiet. It would be a lot more fun, they'd agreed, if they didn't know who their partner was.
So the only question here was, man or woman? She and the other person reached out hesitantly in the dark to feel each other. It sure as hell would be embarrassing to go into a horny grope with another woman-so Tina felt around very timidly. The other person touched Tina's big swinging breasts, and Tina touched a hard hairy chest.
Craig!
She wanted to speak his name, just to let him know it was her, but she didn't dare. That would be breaking the rules. Instead she just grinned happily and lustily in the darkness. She'd found her man, and now they could get on with that glorious love-making they'd begun more than an hour ago.
Purring like a contented cat, Tina allowed him to draw her down onto the soft carpet. They lay face to face, caressing hotly and kissing hungrily. He thrust his tongue deep into her mouth, and Tina sucked on it wickedly, showing him that she was more than ready to take up where they'd left off.
How clever of him to find her so quickly… And he was just as excited as she was. He seemed to be touching her everywhere at once; his firm dry hands running all over her body. Finally he zeroed in on her big soft quivering tits. He was kissing them, then licking, his tongue flicking and lashing
over her sensitive nipples.
"Ummmmm," Tina murmured, "ummmm…"
There just couldn't be any rule against that. She was sure no one expected to stifle their sighs and squeals and moans of pleasure. She listened- and sure enough, all over the room people seemed to be sighing and murmuring in the darkness. That alone wouldn't give away their identity.
