The Neighbor Experiment

 Tom was lounging in his living room fiddling on his phone when the doorbell rang. Tom looked up at the clock. It was 8 pm. Too early for Anna to come home yet from her party. He strode along to open the door as he wondered who it might be.

Tom opened the door to find a slightly older guy standing with a smile and a whiskey bottle in his hand. He said, 'Hey, I am Boyd. I am living in the flat next to you. So, I guess I am your neighbour' as he gestured towards his flat.

Tom looked at him with a sheepish smile. He did see him a couple of times or more in passing. A slightly older guy, perhaps in his late 40s or early 50s. He had a salt-and-pepper goatee. He had the same kind of hair too, more black than white. But his eyes and his smile belied his age. It had a kind of ferocity, not mellowed by age but genial nevertheless. Tom sheepishly smiled and said, 'Oh yes. Hey, I am Tom' and he extended his hand.

Boyd shook his hand and said, 'I was thinking I should know my neighbours. And I bought a whiskey too. I know this is an unscheduled visit but would you fancy a drink? You know, just to talk some.'

Tom looked at the clock and said, 'Well, sure. I am Tom. Let's have a drink. Come in please.'

Boyd stepped in and took stock of the living room and said, 'Pretty much like my flat, I suppose.'

Tom said, 'Guess so. Let me bring a couple of glasses.'

Boyd said as he took a seat on the sofa, 'Thanks! But I think you live with your girlfriend, right?'

Tom's laugh came from a distance, 'We are married for 3 years now. And, she, Anna, my wife, she has gone out to meet with some of her girlfriends.'

'Ahh! That's why you are bored. Good timing, I guess, on my part.'

Tom poured whiskey in both their glasses and raised their glasses, 'Well, cheers to that!'

As they sat in silence, Tom said, 'Do you stay alone?'

'Yes. Well, I have been working since I was 18. Drifted from one location to another for quite a few years in-between jobs. And then, I thought to myself I wanted a break from that life. So, I retired and travelled some more as a tourist though. Big difference! Then, I had always liked this tow. So, I bought this flat and moved in a month back.'

'Wow.'

'And before you ask, I haven't been married. I am not even dating anyone. Kind of single now. But, now that I am trying to settle in, maybe it will bring pleasant surprises.'

'You almost make it sound poetic.'

'It's not. But, well, that's how I have spent my years. I think that's the next thing I want to explore. Enough of being a single guy drifting around.' And Boyd laughed a hearty laugh.

'And I want to travel a bit now, I guess. Enough of being a married guy.' Tom joined Boyd in his laughter.

'Come on. You have a good life. A good home, as I can see. A beautiful wife, that I know. And quite a happy married life, that I can vouch for.' Boyd winked

Tom admitted, 'When you put it like that, yeah, can't complain.'

As the drinks poured, Tom said, 'I have been meaning to ask. Why did you say you can vouch for my happily married life? You know, just curious.'

Boyd smiled and said, 'Ahh! You know. The way you have done up the place and then there are other things.'

'What other things?'

Boyd gestured Tom to come in close. As Tom leaned towards Boyd, Boyd whispered, 'I can hear your happiness through the wall almost every night.'

Tom was embarrassed. 'I am sorry.

'Oh! Please don't be. You guys are a rare bunch that is so happy in marriage almost every night.' Boyd winked

'Are we that loud?'

'Not you.'

Tom bit his lips as Boyd poured another drink. 'We will tone down.'

Boyd shrugged his hands, 'Are you kidding? If anything, make her moan louder.'

'Hehe'

'Seriously, she's a keeper. You are a lucky man, a wife like that in bed, you should count your blessings.'

Tom knew Anna was loud in bed. She moaned and pouted. But that, she would be this audible -- Tom didn't anticipate this. As he thought about it, he thought about Boyd to himself, 'Had he been hearing this every night? He likes to hear her moan. And he said Anna was beautiful. Does he wank off hearing us having sex?'

Tom, drunk as he was, thought to drag the conversation. 'You have no idea. She's dynamite in bed.'

Boyd looked at him and said, 'I can figure. I had my fair share of women. I know women who enjoy sex and women who fake it. She enjoys it.'

'That she does.'

Boyd stood up. 'Hey Tom, care to show me the rest of your house?'

Tom said, 'Sure.'

Tom took Boyd to their bedroom. 'Well, I guess you already know this place.'

'Ahh! Yes.' Boyd took a step inside the bedroom and said, 'May I?'

Tom said, 'Sure.'

Boyd went and stood by the bed looking at the laundry bag. He went there and picked up a panty.

Tom stood there not knowing how to react. Anna had the choicest of lingerie. And the one in Boyd's hand -- well, she had worn it today morning after she took a shower. It was red and cut rather thin. Tom watched as Boyd took a deep smell of the panty. 'Did she wear it today?'

Tom said, 'Yes'

'Did you have sex today?'

'No.'

'Then, it's how her pussy usually smells. Like a flower.' Boyd took another deep breath. He moved on and took the matching bra.

'Did she wear it today?'

'Yes.'

'She has deliciously big boobs, I guess.' Boyd caressed the bra and groped the cups.

Boyd smiled at Tom, 'Her smell is so intoxicating. Tell me something.'

Tom was overwhelmed with the nature of the conversation. 'What?'

'Is she shaved?'

'There is a little bush.'

'Does she have big nipples?'

'Yes'

'Ahh! Brown?'

'Yes'

Boyd dropped the bra and panty in the laundry basket as he came into the living room. Tom settled in a little uncomfortably. And the doorbell rang.

Tom opened a door and was almost shocked to see Anna standing. As if, someone had snapped him out of trance.

'Hey, you!' Anna said as she leaned to kiss her.

Tom gave a quick peck on her lips and said, 'Hey, we have company. We are making friends with our neighbour -- Boyd. He stays next to us.'

Anna smiled at Boyd who shook her hands, 'Nice to meet you, Anna.'

Tom was acutely aware of Boyd's gaze. Anna always dressed in comfortable clothes -- today, she was wearing a dress that was neither revealing nor clung to her body but, looked cute on her. The light makeup she applied, especially the kohl in her eyes and red lipstick made her look cuter.

Anna said, 'Sorry guys. I am really tired. Do you mind if I retire today?'

Boyd stood up and said, 'Hey, I was leaving too. Maybe, we will all catch up soon.'

Anna smiled and said, 'Sure Boyd. Let's catch up soon.'

As Boyd took leave, he whispered to Tom, 'Hey buddy, can you come to my place tomorrow evening? Even for 5 minutes.'

Tom was unsure. Now, that he remembered the conversation he had with Boyd in his bedroom, it hit him -- the weirdness and the perverseness of it. But, Tom said, 'Okay. We will catch up tomorrow.'

As Boyd left and Anna retired to her bedroom, Tom stood there. After a moment of contemplation, he finished his whiskey in a gulp and went to his bedroom.

---

Anna was already there on the bed wearing just a sheer nightdress. She had her hair up in a bun but she was already pulling her blanket close. Tom sat down on the bed and they kissed deeply like they always do every night. Slow, unhurried, hands across each other's neck, tongues crossing, slight bite on the lips. As they broke the kiss, Anna said, 'So, you made a friend?'

Tom shrugged, 'Kind of.'

'Seemed like a decent guy.'

'He is.'

Tom said, 'You know, he said something funny.'

'What?'

'That he can hear us every night through the wall.'

'What?' Anna laughed. 'Did he come in to complain?'

'Haha! No. He made a passing reference. Sounded like a compliment.'

Anna winked and said, 'Well, still, should we be quieter then?'

Tom laughed and said despite himself, 'I think you should moan louder.'

Anna laughed too but said, 'Not today. Damn tired. Make me sleep, baby.'

Tom knew what it meant. He slid down the blanket and spread her legs. She wasn't wearing any panties. Tom always found her pussy so beautiful. The flap-like lips covered her pussy and as he spread it, the pink hole peeked. The slight bush above made it more attractive somehow. And even before he started, she was always a little wet. And when he finished, she was a mess. This is how he had always known her to respond to him -- slightly wet to almost squirting; Tom loved it.

And today, Tom knew, Anna was tired, so she won't do anything. Tom will eat her out slowly and gently and make her cum. And she will then jack her off and then drift off to sleep. It has been kind of a ritual ever since they started sleeping together. Anna needs to jerk him off every night -- be it with her hand, her mouth, her pussy or her ass. But, she will at least once a day.

As Tom silently went about licking her pussy, he remembered Boyd sniffing the used panties of Anna and her bra. And despite himself, he licked harder. He tongued her deeper. And he fingered her. Anna moaned and came.

Tom got to the bed. Anna curled and spooned him and held his cock tightly. As she slowly jerked him off, Tom knew he would come in an instant. He didn't even conjure up any image.

The next day, Tom hated the bitter feeling in his mouth. He shouldn't be turned on about another guy, a much older guy at that, fucking his wife. No, that's wrong. He will put a stop to any lewd discussion. His mind was as clear about it as the day.

Tom went to Boyd's place in the evening. Boyd was cheerful and welcomed him.

Boyd asked, 'Hey, you want a drink?'

'No. Not now.'

Tom said, 'Hey, I had a long day at the office. You said you had to discuss something.'

Boyd gave a cheery smile and said, 'Come on, my friend. Have something. It will wash away your tiredness.'

Tom reluctantly asked for a small beer.

Boyd said, 'Is Anna home yet?'

Tom shifted uncomfortably. 'Not yet.'

'Well, you know, I wanted to throw a small party. A get-to-know each other kind of thing with other people in the building. I am planning it for this Friday. Just a small dinner and drinks at home. Would you please come with your wife?'

'I will check with her. But, yeah sure.'

'Thanks'

Tom was rather disappointed. He thought he would put Boyd in his place but he didn't say anything about Anna. Boyd made small talk about the places he had been, the kind of day he was having.

Tom was thinking why was he disappointed. Did Boyd's infatuation with Anna get over? Isn't that good though? Should he test him?

So, before leaving Tom said, 'You know, Anna said she was sorry about not indulging you yesterday. She was really tired.'

'That's cool.'

Tom said, 'Well, Anna's still not here though. Let me get all her clothes in the washing machine.' And Tom bit his tongue. Wasn't this too direct?

Boyd raised one of his eyebrows and gave a wry smile. Of course, he felt encouraged. So, when Boyd replied, 'Can I come in?' as a response, Tom didn't see how could he refuse.

Tom just nodded his head.

Boyd straight came to his bedroom, 'What did she wear yesterday night?'

'Just that night dress'

Boyd picked up the black nightdress and said, 'No panty or bra?'

'She didn't wear one last night.'

'Damn.'

Boyd was disappointed. He said, 'Tom, will you guys have sex today?'

'Maybe'

'When?'

'At night'

'What about the panty she wore to the office?'

Tom shrugged, 'What about it? She has a separate collection for the office. Nothing sexy'

Boyd said, 'Are you saying she only gets this sexy in the bedroom?'

'Yup'

'Damn. You are indeed lucky.'

'Why?'

'I will tell you later. I want to smell her panty. Can you do something?'

Tom laughed nervously. 'Like what?'

'I want the panty after you fuck her tonight.'

'What?'

'Yes. I want it. Can you, do it?'

'How?'

'You text me after she's asleep. I will meet you outside the door and take her panty.'

'I will try.'

'I have a request. Make sure you get her wet in her panty. You do that and I will do something for you. Something, I think you will like.'

Before Tom could react, the doorbell rang. Tom said, 'No doubt, it's Anna.'

They both left the bedroom hurriedly. Tom opened the door to Anna. Anna wore a business suit over a white shirt as usual. Anna was surprised seeing Boyd, 'Hey!'

Boyd anticipated and said, 'Well, I just came to invite you and Tom to a small home-warming sort of thing this Friday.'

Anna looked at Tom and said, 'Ahh okay. We will try. Thanks for the invite.'

Anna went on to the bedroom. Boyd said, 'Text me. I will be awake.' And he too left.

Tom stood in the living room wondering what was wrong with him. How did he agree to something that he wanted to stop so badly? But, a part of him also knew he would probably do it. The thing he wondered was should he tell Anna? No, that would be super weird. Ahh, screw it. He will see what he will do when the time comes.

--

'Wow, you guys are thick friends, now.' Anna exclaimed over dinner.

'Nothing like that. I just think he has taken a fancy towards you.'

'What? Did he say something?'

'No. He starts off his conversation by asking about you.' Tom felt a little bold. 'And he thinks you are beautiful.'

'Isn't he married?'

'No, he is single. At least that's what he says.'

'So, he's being a perv.'

'I don't know. Maybe. I am sure he slept around for a fair bit. And now, he wants to settle.'

Anna shrugged, 'Should we even go to that party? I don't want to be leered at.'

Tom thought, 'Well, might be fun. Let's see how good he flirts.'

Anna chuckled, 'Ahh. You are my husband. You shouldn't encourage such stuff.'

Tom laughed, 'And you are my wife. Don't I have you forever?'

'Yes, you do.'

'So, I see it more as an amusement.'

Anna winked, 'And what about Daniel, my colleague? You thought I had an affair with him just because I went to dinner with him. And do you remember how you puffed and obsessed and fought with me?'

'That was such a long time ago. And I was in love and had the best sex. I didn't want any competition. I was insecure about you.'

'And what has changed now?'

'Just that I know you better. And we have reached a place where we are comfortable with each other. And it will be nice to have competition.'

'Haha! I don't want any competition.'

'Excuse me! You are the most competitive girl I know of.'

'I said I don't want you to compete. And I am not entertaining any competition. You can't flirt with a girl. No way.'

'What if I do?'

'You won't get this.' And Anna spread her legs to show a tiny black panty.

Tom walked towards Anna and went down on his knees. He bit her pussy over her panty. 'I will always have it.'

Tom bit her pussy hard. Anna arched her back and caught hold of Tom's head. Tom buried his head but with his hands, he cupped her boobs. Anna moaned aloud. Tom played with the nipple, pinching it, rubbing it between his fingers. Anna out the panty to the side. 'Take me.'

Tom took his hand off her boob and through the panty fingered her. The panty clung to her pussy taking a shape of it. Wet, dripping, he continued.

Anna furiously took her panty aside. 'Come inside me.'

Tom got up and rubbed his throbbing cock against her wet pussy. And he entered.

Anna gave a low shout. Tom went in and hard and deep. And as Tom kissed her, Tom came inside Anna.

'You were quick today.' Anna said

'I was turned on.'

'Umm. I like that.'

Tom said, 'Let me clean. You still owe me a blowjob since yesterday.'

Anna rolled her head, 'We will see. Let me go change'

As Anna slipped out of her panty and threw it in the laundry basket, Tom messaged Boyd, 'Come now.'

Almost instantly came the reply, 'Waiting outside.'

Tom quietly slipped Anna's panty to Boyd who was waiting outside. It was wet and sticky with both of their cum.

That Friday, both Anna and Tom decided they would go in for an hour. Tom had been feeling guilty about the way he has been acting. And somehow, Boyd brings in the worst of him -- a new side that he had never thought he had. And Anna was conscious that Boyd probably had a thing for him.

Anna wore one of her black tees and jeans as usual with very little make-up. The way Anna dressed in her slightly oversized tee or her baggy jeans, never revealed or bought attention to her curves. As Tom and Anna entered the party, there were already a few people. Some they knew from the building, some they didn't.

Boyd had decked up the place nicely. There were cosy, dim lights, light music, sofas were scattered and of course a lot of alcohol. Boyd introduced the party to Tom and Anna.

Boyd went to a young college girl dressed in a tank top that showed off her toned midriff with hotpants that flaunted her long legs. It was Karen. Boyd said, 'Hey guys, meet Karen. We had met sometime back and luckily; she was in town today.'

Karen said, 'Well, I had to see Boyd's place.'

Boyd said to Karen, 'Well, they are my hot neighbour couple, Anna and Tom.' And he laughed.

He said to the group, 'You catch up. I will be around.'

Tom and Anna stayed longer than an hour. When they eventually left, they were slightly drunk.

Anna said as she threw off her shoes, 'Well, that was fun. To be honest, much more fun than I thought it would be.'

Tom shrugged, 'Yeah. And Karen's hot.'

'Of course, that's what you gathered.'

'Well, no. I mean, Boyd is what, 50 years. And she would be a college girl. Of course, I am jealous.'

'You know what Karen told me?' Anna winked

'What?'

'That she and Boyd are like a friend with benefits. Barely friends even. But, Boyd is the best she had.'

'Really?'

'Karen was the one who drove down around 50 miles today.'

'Must have been for the party.'

'Maybe.'

Tom said, 'But, I am glad he has Karen. He didn't talk about you today. Did he make any advances?'

Anna said, 'Not particularly. He just made an offhanded remark on how beautiful I looked.'

'Ahh. I see.'

Tom was a little disappointed with the party. He knew why but he didn't want to admit it. He liked Boyd fascinated with Anna.

Tom and Anna both were too tired to make out. As they prepared to tuck in, they heard voices through the wall. It was muffled, but it was there. Anna looked at Tom and smiled. 'Well, the tables have turned today.'

The female voice got shriller, breathier, quiet and then rose back again. Was it the bed rocking? Was it the girl moaning out loud? As the female voice modulated, Anna's hand gripped Tom's cock. Anna started running to him. The voice continued to pour in.

Anna fastened her pace. Tom throbbed. The shriller the girl got; the faster Anna went. And Tom came but the female voice continued. Anna said, 'Wow, he's like a bull.'

Tom smiled meekly, 'Well, he does go on.'

As they listened, finally the voices died down. Anna kissed Tom good night and said, 'Finally, all quiet on the western front.'

Tom said, 'Baby, can I ask you something?'

'What?'

'I don't think Karen is hotter than you.'

'Aww. I love you'

'No, I mean, I am telling you. At the party today, you were the hottest. Just that Karen's dress and her legs set eyes rolling. Imagine a little effort from you.'

Anna whispered, 'What? You want me to wear something like that?'

'Not that. But something sexier.'

'Why?'

'I want all eyes on you.'

'I am uncomfortable, you know that.'

'Come on. Nothing slutty. Just not what you wear.'

'We shall see.'

As they were about to sleep, they heard voices again. Lighter, but definite voices.

Anna said, 'Well, they certainly are horny and they have stamina.'

'Let's sleep,' Tom said

'Yeah.'

But neither Tom nor Anna slept for a long time as the sounds of pleasure from across the wall filled their room.

The next day around evening, the doorbell rang. Anna opened the door. Boyd was standing there looking embarrassed. 'Hey Anna, have a quick favour to ask.'

'What?'

'I have to go out to meet some friends. Kind of an impromptu get-together of sorts. Karen is out. Can you give her the keys?'

'Sure. No problem.'

'Thanks.' and Boyd left hurriedly.

Karen did turn up after an hour. Anna was the one at the door. Karen said, 'Sorry for the trouble. I don't think Boyd will be coming tonight.'

Anna smiled and said, 'Hey, you want to come in. We can have some wine.'

Karen's face lit up. 'Ahh, yes. That would be awesome. I will be bored to death alone. Let me quickly change though.'

Anna said to Tom, 'Hey, Karen is coming in now.'

Tom gave him a wicked look, 'Let's find out about Boyd.'

Anna grinned, 'I was thinking about that. Give us some girl time and I will tell you all at night.'

Tom got up and said, 'Well, I look forward to the stories in detail. Love you baby. I will be at Dan's.'

When Tom came back home, he wasn't surprised to see Anna had already slept off. What was surprising was that Karen was sleeping beside her on their bed. And even more surprising was that they both were in their lingerie. The empty wine bottles in the living room, the dishevelled blanket -- they were pretty sound asleep. Tom had a wicked thought.

He went up to the bed and kissed Anna on her forehead -- no response. He shifted her to one side of the bed -- no response. He bought her hand to her belly -- no response. Ahh, she's knocked out. Now Tom went to Karen. She had a red bra and panty on. She wasn't as voluptuous as Anna but she was supple. Tom carefully took a strand of her hair and pulled it up her ear -- no response.

Damn, he thought. Should I go on?

Tom peered over her cleavage -- it had so many teeth marks. Tom touched one -- no response. He got her bra cup -- soft, silky, inviting -- no response. He pressed her bra cup- no response. Tom got up on the bed by her side and tried to get a hand in. Ahh, soft. The bra was so tight that he feared the elastic might snap her up from her sleep. So, he unhooked the bra and froze -- no response.

Tom then lowered the bra and looked at her boobs. Inviting, soft, nipples a soft pink -- some bite marks here and there. Tom cupped her and played with the nipple. Next, his hand automatically got inside her panty. She was clean-shaven and he was there. Her pussy had no lips but it was as soft. Tom parted the lips and Karen moaned but didn't get up. She parted her legs instinctively as if letting Tom better access. Tom got bold. Anna was sleeping soundly with her face on the other side. Tom entered Karen. His finger slipped inside smoothly. Tom took his finger out and grabbed Karen's hands. He opened his shorts and if, on cue, Karen grabbed his cock hard. Tom wanted more. He fingered her harder, his breaths getting deeper. Karen was half-moaning. She was responding, she was wet. Her hands stroked Tom's cock. Tom got up and brought his cock to Karen's mouth level. He took his cock and guided it to her lips. Karen licked it and opened her lips. Ahh, there it was -- warm, soft, tight. Tom played with her boobs as Karen licked him. Karen held his hips trying to push him deeper. He went deeper -- in and out. He grabbed and groped her boobs -- the nipples perking up. Tom knew he would come easy. He took his cock out. Karen spread her legs. Tom went on top of her and entered. Karen looked at him now. Tom was already deep. He had been horny since morning. Thrusting deep, he went as further as he could go. Yes, and after a few full strokes -- he came. He hardly took out his cock and he came all over pussy. Karen shuddered too. Tom caressed her face and Karen, just like that, fell back to sleep. Tom rolled over and picked up his shorts. As his mind cleared, he realised that he had cheated on Anna for the first time. And he wasn't proud of it. He went outside in the living room and slept off.

But, sleep eluded him. As soon as he closed his eyes, he reasoned, if he had already done it once. He could do it again. Karen would like it. And Anna was still fast asleep? With the quantities of wine she had, she will probably wake up tomorrow late morning. Should he go to his bedroom again?

Blood flooded his cock and lust ruled his mind. He waited for another hour or so, drinking some fluid trying to get a full hard-on going. And then he went again. Much more confident. Karen had not hooked her bra or wore her panty back. She had just wrapped the blanket around her. Tom went up the bed cupping her boobs. He shifted up as his cock throbbed. Slowly, he got Karen's mouth near his cock. Karen instinctively opened her mouth. Tom put his cock inside, all of it and waited. Tom didn't know if Karen was half-asleep or fully awake but she controlled the cock. She was sucking, slow, deep, sloppy. Tom felt good. He caressed her hair as he let Karen play with his cock. He was in no hurry and neither was Karen. She took the whole of him and cupped his balls. Tom loved it. But, Karen shifted gears. She started biting slowly -- the tip of the cock, then through the length and girth to the root. Tom felt a new burst of sensation and as Karen bit and held his cock tight, he burst. He limped on the bed. But Karen didn't stop. She got up and pulled at his head indicating him to go down. Tom knew he had cum there an hour early but he didn't know how to say no. So, he went down to her wet pussy. It smelled of cum and sex and Tom was gentle as he buried his tongue. As gentle as Karen was. And as he licked and fingered, he also put a finger in her butthole. Karen moaned. Tom put a hand over her mouth. But he didn't relent. And after some time, she shuddered to an orgasm. Karen let go of his head and Tom walked away from his bedroom yet again. And this time, he slept off on his sofa.

When he woke up, Anna was already waving her goodbyes to Karen. Tom froze. Shit, did Karen tell Anna?

Tom tried to test the temperature. 'Hey Anna, how was last evening? Gossips?'

Anna grinned, 'When did you come in last night? I have good gossip.'

Tom said trying to be playful, 'And how was Karen?'

'She's fun. You know, a slutty college girl. The typical fare. Do you know she has a boyfriend?'

Tom heaved a sigh of relief. Well, at least Anna doesn't seem to know. 'Really? And Boyd?'

'Just some good time. She's like she is too young to be committed or devoted. So, she is having some fun. Once she is ready to settle, she will get serious.'

'Wow. And you liked her playing the field thing? You didn't play the field ever, right?' Tom gestured a quote-unquote with her hand.

'I know. I was too serious. But, in hindsight, it's okay.'

'Are you regretting that you didn't sleep with anyone else but me?'

'Not regret but if anyone is doing that, well, good for her.'

Tom went over and kissed Anna on her cheek, 'I love this new way of seeing things. Tell me the Boyd gossip.'

'Later.'

Tom didn't press. For now, he is out of any danger. And with Karen gone, well, he can worry later.

As the day went by, Tom got into great spirits. Karen was so different in bed. He was proud that he did what he did. So, in the evening, when Boyd asked him to meet at his place, he went with a big smile.

'What's up, Boyd?'

Boyd grinned and hugged him. 'Tom, I didn't know we love the same things.'

'What?'

Boyd grinned, 'Well, you love blowjobs as much I do.'

Tom sulked. Fuck! What now, he thought.

Tom started, 'I am sorry, Boyd.'

Boyd cut him with his hand, 'Don't be silly. It's okay.'

Tom said, 'I am still sorry. She was your girlfriend. I should have at least asked.'

Boyd laughed, 'She's not my girlfriend. She's a friend who is hot and loves sex as much as I do. Nonetheless, I am glad you both had fun.'

Tom didn't say anything.

Boyd continued, 'I thought you owe me a favour.'

Tom sighed, 'I know. Tell me.'

Boyd eyed him and after a pause said, 'A blowjob for a blowjob.'

'What?'

'I want a blowjob from Anna. Not now, but well, soon..'

'No. That's impossible.'

'Why?'

'She is my wife.'

'Ahh! Fair enough. Ok, when Karen comes visiting in another month, either you can take her to bed or she takes you by talking about it to Anna.'

'Is it a threatening?'

'No. We are brothers. We need to look after one another. Come on, one blowjob and you have Karen again.'

'Damn it. Can I think about it?'

'Sure. Do you know something?'

'What?'

'I made Karen wear Anna's panties when I fucked her the night before.'

'Do you find Anna that sexy?'

'Ahh boy, she's dynamite. Curvy, loves sex, what more do you want?'

'Just one blowjob?'

'Yes. Just one.'

'And I have Karen for a night.'

'And a day if you want. By the way, she liked it yesterday.'

'Okay. Let me see.'

Tom came out of the conversation weirdly charged up. He knew this was easy and if anything, he would love to see Anna blow Boyd.

--

That night, Tom asked, 'Anna, tell me what did Karen say about Boyd?'

Anna was applying some cream on her hands and getting ready to go to bed. She eyed Tom and said, 'Ahh okay! Well, I think they met at a bar.'

Tom chuckled, 'How stereotypical.'

'I know. But, well, you know, Karen has a boyfriend.'

'Apart from Boyd?'

'Well, Boyd is not exactly her boyfriend. She just meets him every 2-3 months for a weekend of sex.'

Tom cocked his eyebrows. Anna shrugged and said, 'Well, Karen says Boyd is the best she had had. Boyd is horny, can screw for hours and is well-endowed.'

Tom chuckled, 'And my puritan wife is friends with her? How are you so nice about her?'

'Well, she said she doesn't want to settle now. She has a point, you know. Another year or two, she said she will play the field, be the slut, and then be a good wife and mother. Sounds fair?'

Tom said, 'Am I getting a hint of regret?'

Anna said, 'Not regret. But the way she put it, it's no big fucking deal.'

Tom innocently asked, 'Why were you guys in lingerie yesterday?'

'You saw?'

Play it cool, Tom muttered to himself. 'Yes.' He replied not looking at Anna. 'That's why I slept on the sofa.'

Anna smiled, 'Well, Karen was trying some of my lingerie.'

'Are you friends with her?'

'Not exactly.'

Tom got a little cocky. 'Yeah, college students and all. Let's not get too involved.'

Anna came on to him. She was wearing just a black nightgown and kissed him,' Ummm'

Tom pinned her on the bed. His hands were on her boobs. He said, 'Can I ask you something?'

Anna kissed him hungrily. 'What?'

'Is Boyd too big?'

Anna looked at him and gripped his cock, 'Think so.'

Tom nibbled at her nipples, 'How big?'

Anna put a fist to her fist over his cock. 'This big.'

Tom slid a hand in her panties, 'Wouldn't he wreck you?'

Anna moaned. Tom whispered, 'Can you take such a big cock?'

Anna was so wet. She put a hand on Tom's head. 'Get inside me. Now'

Tom whispered, 'Oh, how he would fuck you.' and entered Anna. It was dripping. Tom thrust. 'Deeper than this maybe.' Anna put a hand over his mouth. Tom thrust harder when Anna shivered. Tom took out his cock and jerked himself off on her boobs.

Anna kissed him and turned the other way and slept.

Tom laid wide awake. A world of possibility opened up. He fucked Karen, Anna didn't know. He felt guilty but he loved fucking Karen. Anna is turned on by Boyd's cock. A little manipulation here and there -- Anna blows Boyd once and he fucks Karen. An evil smile played on his lips. He knew what to do next.

The next few days, Tom weighed his options. Well, Anna was his wife. He was not sure how he would like if something physical happened between Boyd and Anna and that spiralled. He also argued that he would like to see any guy with Anna. But he already did something that sat heavily on his consciousness. But, to top it all, he wanted more. And it would help his case if Anna did something with a guy, at least if Anna got to know about it, the blow would land softly. Tom decided to discuss it with Anna.

But both Boyd and Anna were busy with their lives. After some days, Boyd knocked on his door. 'Hey Tom, what's up?

'Hey Boyd, long time.'

'Well, I have to say it. This week has been torture for me. Well, Anna is just hot. And somehow, her moans have gotten sexier. And I..' he stammered before completing, 'I have been thinking about her and the promised blowjob.'

Tom was taken aback by this off-the-cuff confession of Boyd. He needed back the control. He said, 'Look Boyd, I have been meaning to talk to you. Whatever happened between Karen and me, it was consensual. And Karen is not even your girlfriend.'

Boyd cut him in between, 'What do you mean?'

Tom coolly said, 'Look, I know what I promised. But I need some time. Anna's my wife and I love her to death. I know she is sexy and hot. But you can't rush me.'

Boyd stared at him and said, 'Okay. So?'

'So, nothing. You wait. I will make it happen. But it has to be consensual. I need that time.'

Boyd said, "On one condition.'

'And that is?'

'I want to see Anna in her lingerie or something like that.'

'A pic, you mean?'

'No, in front of my eyes.'

'How?'

'I don't care. Either I see her as that or I tell her. I don't care.'

Tom said, 'Okay. I will try.'

When Boyd left, Tom sighed deeply.

That night over dinner, Tom said to Anna, 'I think Boyd is jerking off to you.'

Anna looked up and said, 'What are you talking about?'

Tom chuckled, 'Well, I ran into Boyd today. He asked me a bunch of inappropriate questions about you.'

Anna cocked an eyebrow.

Tom said, 'Well, I think Karen must have said something about you. He was going on about what a beautiful hotwife I have. How lucky I am.'

'Really? What else?'

'What's your favourite colour?'

'I said pink.'

Anna rolled her eyes. 'Anything else?'

'I think he has taken a real liking to your moans. He said your voice has grown sexier or something. I think he just wants to bang you.'

Anna said, 'I think he's into younger girls more.'

Tom was bewildered. Anna didn't take offence to the fact that Boyd would like to fuck him. He thought to jump in and stretch the discussion. 'You know Anna, I have been playing with a wicked thought.'

'What?'

'I want to show you off. Torture Boyd.'

'How?'

'What if Boyd sees you like this? You in your bedroom wear. He will burst'

'No. That's too much.'

'Come on. Wear your tube top without a bra and the hot pants.'

'And?'

'And I will call him for a drink. And he gets a glimpse of you.'

'No. I don't like it.'

'Come on, baby. Look at you. And I am here. Let's torture him.'

'Let me think about it.'

A grin spread on Tom's face. 'Wear the pink one without a bra.'

'Which one?'

'That is two sizes smaller than what you wear.' Ans wear the pant that almost feels like a panty.'

'I will think about it.' But Anna did smile.

The next Saturday, Rom called Boyd over for a drink.

Boyd said, 'I have to meet a friend. I have to leave in 30 minutes.'

'Ahh sure. I was just bored.' Tom said

Tom went and bought over a bottle. As they poured over a drink, Boyd said 'Did you think?'

Tom put a handout and said, 'Anna's here.'

'Oh, I see.'

As the discussion veered to lesser controversial things, Anna came out. She had put some kohl under her eyes and put on some lipstick. She smelled like an ocean. She had a pink tank top on which hardly covered her nipples. It was so tight that the nipples poked out. The cleavage made the top stand out in such a way that the boobs were practically spilling out from the deep cleavage and the plumpy underboob. Then came her navel where she had put a ring. Tom knew it was for show but it did make her damningly sexy. Her hotpants were tight and could be mistaken for panties. Her ass stuck out like a ripe peach and her legs were long, smooth and almost unending.

Both Boyd and Tom blinked and gaped and stared. Anna knew the effect she had. 'Hey, Boyd.' She said. 'I didn't know you were home. Tom, do come once you are done.' And Anna left the room.

Tom looked at Boyd who just said, Damn, you lucky bastard. Damn you.'

Boyd left after he completed his drink.

That night as Anna and Tom were laughing about it, they heard voices of moaning wafting in from Boyd's room. Tom said, 'Well, I don't know who's he having sex with, but he's fucking you.'

Anna said, 'Won't you?'

Tom pounced over Anna.

--

The next day evening, as Anna was cooking dinner, Tom held her waist from behind and kissed the nape of her neck. 'You know, Anna, you turned me on yesterday.'

Anna laughed and said, 'I could sense that last night. You were so hard.'

'Honest confession, I never thought you would do that.'

'Honest confession, me neither.'

'But, you know, I think more than you in that tee, if we can call it that, it was the jealousy of Boyd that turned me on.'

'I always thought you were possessive.' Anna said

'I still am. You are all mine. But, just to flaunt all this. I mean, it did turn me on. What about you?'

'Umm. I think I liked the attention.'

'You mean, the attention that you got from Boyd.'

'Yes.'

'Can I ask you something?' Tom asked

'Yes'

'Did you get more turned on that Boyd was hard seeing you in that top or did you get more turned on when you knew Boyd was having sex with someone but was thinking of you last night?'

Anna threw spaghetti at him in mock anger.

Tom shrugged, 'Come on, you said you will be honest.'

Anna said, 'I think I was more turned on by the sounds coming from his apartment.'

'Wasn't he more passionate?'

Anna laughed.

Tom said, 'Man, we were animals yesterday.'

Tom came over and kissed Anna deep on her lips and whispered, 'Fuck. I hate this. But I am hard and I am thinking about you naked in front of Boyd.'

Anna didn't break the kiss but she clawed her hands in his back. Tom continued, 'Boyd, with his fat cock, fuck, he would be throbbing to fuck you deep.'

Anna shivered and bit Tom. Tom took her panties down and pinned her to the slab. He turned her over and entered her pussy. She was so wet.

Tom whispered, 'Ahh..how he would fuck you. In, out, in, out'

And Anna just moaned and convulsed into orgasm as Tom unloaded in her pussy.

Later that night, Tom asked, 'Anna, do you think you can have sex with Boyd?'

Anna scoffed, 'In reality? I don't think so. I never had anyone except you babe. Can you see me with another man?'

Tom looked at the ceiling and put his arms at the back of his head, 'Well, no way. I don't think so. I mean, you know how I had been. But, now, I don't know.'

'Come on. You will be so jealous.'

'Of course, yes. But, since I am an active participant in this, you know, I still think I have control over you...over us.'

'Let's not talk about anyone else right now.'

'I agree.'

And they slept off cuddling each other.

Later that week, Tom went to Boyd's place just to say hi. Boyd was watching something on his TV.

Boyd said, 'Man, before anything, I had been wanting to tell you this. Anna is insanely hot. I mean, fuck.'

Tom grinned, 'And that was why you had a lady over.'

'I had to. What were my options? Anna has been ruling my mind. Thanks, man, for doing that the other day.'

'Okay, listen. Will you do something for me?'

'Yes.'

'Throw a party next weekend. Don't invite anyone except having a lady friend over, not Karen.'

'Done.'

'And no random ladies till then.'

'Come on. Can I see her again?'

'I will see what I can do.'

'Okay, bro. Have a drink. Come on. Tell me about her.'

Tom sat down with Boyd for a drink.

--

As the week progressed, Tom was very excited. Tom bought up the invitation to Boyd's place over the week but Anna strictly said that they were discussing too much of Boyd. But Tom kept on thinking about who will Boyd have as his partner. Will it be Karen? Will it be someone else? Now, that Boyd and he was comfortable, will he get to spend some time here? Secondly, what will Anna do? What will she wear? Will she make out with Boyd?

A strange sensation flowed in his body. Jealousy, anxiety, pleasure -- all mixed in a frighteningly heightened sensation that he masturbated whenever he thought about Anna and the party.

That evening, Tom asked Anna, 'So, what will you wear?'

Anna rolled her eyes as if it was such a stupid question, 'We are not going anywhere. It's just our neighbour's place.'

'Well, a neighbour who always imagines you naked.'

Anna blew a raspberry and closed the bedroom door. When she came out, she smelled of sex. Her hair was undone intentionally, she had very light make-up on. She was wearing a summer dress -- a floral kind with bright yellow and red. The dress had a deep neckline but what caught Tom's eyes were the boobs -- didn't they seem fuller as if the dress is clinging to her voluptuous boobs?

Tom whistled, 'Umm, are you wearing a bra or a panty?'

'Why don't you guess?' and Anna chuckled.

Tom came closer to her but Anna laughed and pushed him away.

When they went to Boyd's place, Boyd was sitting on the sofa of his living room. The room was dimly lit. With Boyd, was a dusky woman who had short hair hanging from her forehead. She had her legs folded showing her thick thighs and long legs. Barely keeping them covered was a golden dress that had a deep neckline accentuating her deep cleavage. On the other side of the sofa, was another woman wearing a black dress. All had a drink in their hands.

Boyd rose from his seat. He was wearing a short and a tee. 'Hey, Tom and Anna, meet Julie and her sister, Alison.'

Anna sat on the sofa set at the side of the long sofa where Boyd was sitting between Julie and Alison. Tom sat opposite the table facing Anna.

As they all had a drink in their hand, Tom said, 'So, Julie, where do you live?'

It struck Tom that Julie would be in her late twenties or early thirties. She had a sensuality around her that radiated from her dark skin that had a shine on, her teeth -- a little crooked parted to give a genuineness to her smile. She said, 'We live in the countryside, a couple of hours from here.'

Anna said, 'And you met Boyd there?'

Julie laughed, 'No, I met Boyd some years back through a friend. You know, the parties that we all go to. Well, we try to meet up once in a while.'

Tom asked Alison, 'And you stay with your sister?'

Alison looked rather young. She had a lean figure and she had her hair curly and long. 'No. I am in college. I just came here. You know, a fun weekend.'

Boyd said, 'Anna, you look lovely as always.'

'Thanks, Boyd.'

As the evening rolled, alcohol made its presence felt. The discussion somehow rolled onto marriage.

Julie said, 'How long are you guys married?'

Tom said, 'Well, about a couple of years. We dated before that.'

'Wow. And it's a closed marriage?'

Tom looked at her quizzically. Julie said, 'I mean, you guys have been exclusive?'

Anna said, 'Yes.'

Julie held her glass towards Anna to clink her glass, 'That's enough for a toast.'

Anna asked after taking a sip, 'And you are not married?'

'I was for a while. But I got bored easily.'

Anna chuckled, 'Even I am bored of Tom.'

'Ahh. Not just that. I need different men.'

Anna looked at her. Julie shrugged, 'Don't you feel the need for variety? I mean, after I sleep with a guy for a month, I know him, his cock, his rhythm and I am sure he knows me equally well. I just need a little variety.'

'I see.'

Julie asked, 'Don't you feel the same?'

'I don't know. I never had another man.'

Tom was hearing this conversation. He half-expected Anna to get up and walk out.

Boyd meanwhile had a hand on Julie's thighs. Julie continued, 'Oh Anna. How is it even possible? Look at you. I am sure guys would be throwing themselves on their feet to sleep with you.'

Anna blushed, 'I don't know. Tom has been enough.'

Tom wondered was there a little uncertainty or a twinge of regret in Anna's voice?

Julie smiled, 'I am sure. Tom must be a wonderful man and a wonderful lover in bed. But, still, should you not try someone else?'

Alison quipped, 'You are just spoiling her.'

Julie rolled her eyes, 'Says who.'

Then, to Tom, Julie said, 'Do you know Alison has slept with more than ten guys in this week?'

Alison said, 'That doesn't prove anything except that I am a slut.'

'That's not the point. I am saying, we just need a little variety. If I sleep with guys, it's not because I am a slut. Sometimes, I like to experiment. Tom, how many girls have you slept with?'

'Umm..three.'

Julie turned to Boyd, 'Can you believe?'

Boyd said, 'I think they are in love and they are happy. There is nothing to judge.'

Boyd's hand cupped Julie's ass and he said, 'Not everyone is like you.'

Julie kissed his lips and bit him playfully. 'I agree.'

Anna said, 'Tell me what I am missing.'

Julie took her hand and placed it on Boyd's crotch over his pant, 'A lot of worshipping to start with.'

Anna's eyes were transfixed. 'Is it good?'

Julie whispered, 'Ahh. The feel of a fresh cock that throbs for you -- the power that you feel. It's insane. Look.' And Julie rubbed his shorts over his cock. Boyd immediately reacted with an involuntarily moan. And he realised and got embarrassed.

Boyd's hands were pulling Julie's gown up. Julie asked Anna, 'Do you like cocks?'

Anna looked at Julie and the towards Tom, who was half-chatting with Alison, half-looking at her, and said, 'I do.'

Julie's hand started unzipping Boyd's shorts. 'Do you like feeling it in your hands?'

'Yes.'

'Like this?' and Julie put her hands through the zip of Boyd's shorts.

Anna didn't say anything.

Julie said, 'Like this, rather?' and she undid the buttons on Boyd's shorts.

Boyd's eyes were closed by then as he managed to pull the gown up. Julie was not wearing a panty. Her thighs glistened as Boyd tried to reach for her pussy. Julie didn't help his hands. Instead, she looked at Anna and pulled out Boyd's cock and said, 'Anna, do you like to hold a cock like this?'

Boyd's cock was hard and throbbing. It was long, black, round and shining with his precum.

Anna kept on staring at it. Julie asked, 'Do you like rubbing it?'

'Yes, I do.'

'Like this.' And Julie rubbed Boyd's cock and jerked him.

Julie asked, 'I love a good, hard cock. I want to taste it. Don't you want to taste it?'

Julie took his cock between her lips and licked the tip. She spits on the cock. Her saliva dripped down the cock covering it. She then effortlessly took all of the cock in and looked at Anna. 'Do you like it?'

'I do.'

Julie stood up. She dropped her gown to the floor. Tom was stunned to see her figure. Her boobs were round, firm, the nips perky and deep black. There was no hair on her vagina and her ass looked inviting. She stood in front of Anna. She ordered, 'Stand up.'

Anna stood up.

Julie leaned towards her, 'Kiss me.'

Anna tentatively leaned forward towards her. Julie kissed her on the lips and said, 'Do you smell his cock on my lips?'

'I do.'

'Don't you think it's yum?'

'Yes.'

Julie caught her hand and said, 'Come. Let's feast on this gorgeous piece of meat. See, how hard he is. Look at the cock. Round and fat and veiny. It demands worship. Suck it. With me.'

As Julie sat down on her knees, Anna said, 'Tom, come here.'

Tom got up. Anna said, 'Take me out of here.'

Tom hurriedly opened the door. As they entered their room, Anna said, 'Fuck me. Here and now.'

Tom touched her pussy. She was dripping wet.

--

The next day morning, Tom woke up to see Anna already awake. 'Good morning baby!'

'Good morning.'

'It was so sexy yesterday.'

'Hmm'

'What? Did the sound from Boyd's apartment bother you?'

'No, not really.'

'Then, do you want to talk?'

'About what?'

'About what Julie did'

'No.'

'Boyd had his cock sucked in front of us. I think that was a little inappropriate.'

'I don't want to talk about it.'

'Okay. But, are you angry?'

'No, it's just that I don't want to talk about it.'

Tom looked at her. She was wearing a camisole and a white panty. He said, 'I have to confess I was so horny when Julie kissed you.'

Anna took her hand and rubbed his chest and slowly took out his cock from his shorts. It was semi-hard. 'Tell me, why were you so horny?'

'Well, I have never seen you kiss another woman.'

Anna gripped his cock hard, 'And?'

Tom closed his eyes as Anna rubbed him harder. He moaned.

Anna said, 'Were you horny because I kissed the lip that kissed Boyd's cock?'

Tom didn't reply but his cock throbbed now.

Anna said, 'Did you want me to suck him? Hard?'

Tom moaned harder as Anna cupped his balls. 'Did you think I was going to suck him?'

Tom didn't answer. Anna cupped his balls harder. 'Tell me.'

'Maybe'

'Umm. Maybe I would have.' Tom came almost instantaneously and looked at Anna.

Anna left her to hold over his cock. Tom said, 'Are you serious? Did you want to suck him?'

Anna shrugged, 'I don't know. I have been thinking maybe I should have. Of course, I won't since you don't want me to.'

Tom said, 'I don't know. I think I sometimes feel you regret not having sex with anyone else.'

'But I love you.'

'I never said love. You will always be mine. But, if you are okay, I think you can experiment. Of course, I need to know everything.'

Anna said, 'I don't know.'

'Well, have you imagined?'

'Yes, I have.'

'Did you like it?'

'Maybe.'

Tom said, 'Is it, Boyd? We can start with it.'

'No. We don't start anything. Let me think.'

'But I fuck you afterwards like crazy.'

'Umm'

'Boyd will go crazy.'

Anna laughed, 'You think'

'Ahh. I know. He wants to fuck you bad.'

'He's so big and round.'

'I know you. You'll love being mercilessly fucked.'

'No, I won't'

'I know you will. You will go down on him.'

Anna suddenly got up and said, 'No, let's not discuss.'

Tom asked, 'Can I get inside you?'

'Not now'

And so, the week went with Anna being distracted. Tom could figure out that she was listless but he made no attempts to talk about it.

Later that week, as they got into bed, Anna said, 'Baby, I feel so guilty.'

'Why?'

'About that night?'

Tom understood. He said, 'But why?'

'Well, I feel like I shouldn't have done it.'

'See, if you are uncomfortable, then don't do it again.'

'But I also keep on imagining what would have happened next.'

Tom hugged her, 'Baby, I know you love me. It's okay. It's just an experience.'

Anna said, 'Julie messaged me. She wants to go out with me for drinks on Friday.'

'Really?'

'Yes.'

'Do you want to go?'

Anna said, 'I don't know. Should I?'

'If you want to.'

'Will Boyd also be there?'

'No. But, we will come back to his place.'

'Ahh. Am I invited?'

'Do you trust me?'

'Of course, yes, baby. Why do you ask?'

'Then, don't come to Boyd's place. I don't know if I will embarrass you.'

'You will never embarrass me.'

'No, I mean, if you're there, I will feel so guilty. You know right.'

Tom kept mum for a while. 'Okay. It will be hard but I am okay. You'll text me though that you're okay.'

Anna kissed him on the lips. 'Is there anything we should set as strict No's?'

'Just don't fall in love. Be mine.'

'Always.'

Tom came back home on Friday night to see Anna dressed in her usual tee and jeans. 'Will Julie come to pick you up?'

'I think she's at Boyd.'

'Cool. Don't worry. Just don't overthink.'

'I am anxious.'

'You're my babe.'

'What will you do?'

'I think I will watch some movie and have a drink.'

Julie came over to their apartment in half an hour. She was wearing a short dress that showed off her curves. Julie said, 'Anna, you can't go out like this. Come on, let's get you dressed.'

When Anna came out, she wore her little black dress. Her cleavage almost popped out and the dress hardly covered her ass. Tom whistled. Julie said, 'She is going to turn heads today.'

As Anna kissed Tom goodbye, Tom said, 'Text me, baby.'

Tom didn't know what to do. He felt weirdly anxious.

Sometime later, Anna texted him, 'Guys are checking me out. It's weird to get so much attention.'

Tom laughed and could imagine her being sexy. 'Dance with one of them.'

'Maybe. Julie already is.'

Then silence again.

This time, his phone rang. It was Anna.

Her voice sounded loud over the constant background songs that blared, 'Hey babe, I missed you so much.'

'Did you dance?'

"I did. A bit'

'Ahh. Are you drunk?'

'A little.' And Anna giggled. Tom smiled as she reminded him of the first time he met Anna -- the same, bubbly Anna.

'When are you leaving?'

'In some time.'

'You're coming to Boyd's?

'No, we are going over to Boyd's friend's place. It's two blocks away from our place.'

'Ahh. Okay. Are you okay?'

Anna sighed, 'Till now, yes. Are you okay?'

'Yes, baby.'

'I love you.'

'I love you too.'

As Tom cut the phone, he felt an unsettling sense of anxiety. Will Boyd fuck his wife? Is it worth it? Then, he thought Anna wanted to experiment. She deserves not to regret it. It's okay. Let her have some fun. Thoughts of his night with Karen flooded his memories and he poured himself a whiskey.

An hour later, the doorbell rang. Tom smiled and ran to the door thinking maybe Anna didn't go through it. When he opened the door, it was Julie standing along with Anna.

Anna's hair was dishevelled, her make-up in a mess. Tom said, 'What happened?'

Julie smiled, 'Your wife is yours again. Enjoy.'

And with that, she left and went into Boyd's place. Tom held Anna by her shoulder as he made her sit on the sofa, 'Hey, you okay?'

Anna looked at him and started sobbing and hugged him back.

'What happened?'

'I couldn't do it.'

'Ahh. It's great. Why are you crying?'

'I thought I wanted to but as soon as Boyd touched me, I cringed. And when Julie led me to kiss his...I puked.'

Tom laughed out aloud. 'Like puked?'

'Almost.'

'On him?' And he laughed harder.

Anna also laughed sheepishly through her sobs. 'Not on him. But, I started puking and crying. And Julie took me home.'

Tom hugged her, 'Ahh baby, I am glad.'

'You are?'

'More than you can imagine.'

'Haha. Well, it's us to ourselves then.'

'Absolutely'

Tom poured Anna a glass of whiskey and said, 'Cheers to the adventure called Boyd.'

'Cheers'
