Husband Swap
/“Do you think they would go for it? I mean, I know men talk the talk, but underneath all that bravado, they really are just scared little boys playing adult,” said Alisa twirling her keys in her fingers.
Suri smiled at her from across the booth and took a sip of her gin and tonic, “We just have to make them think it was their idea. Make them be the ones to bring it up, and when they do, we just push back a little. Play jealous and let them fret over how they will convince us to do it.” Suri batted her eyelids mockingly and continued, “Then, when we acquiesce and agree, they will think us the good little wifeys for satisfying their every desire. And since they will be the ones convincing us, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think a new handbag would be out of the question, right?”
“You are delightfully devilish my dear. I love it!” said Alisa, taking a swig of her beer, “So how do you propose we go about it?”
“There are some great movies that broach the topic. You could watch them together, starting with fiction and then moving onto documentaries.” Suri took a sip and continued, “Then I will accidentally leave some very specific how to books at your house, and you can accidentally do the same at mine. If Carlos or Hunter ask about them, we simply shrug and blame each other, citing ‘curiosity over the diverse range of the human condition,’ as our motives.”
“Plant the seeds and let them grow?” Alisa replied.
“Exactly. Start casually asking him what he finds attractive in other women. Watch some porn together, get him talking about his fantasies, and share some of your own.”
“You’ve really thought this through, haven’t you?” said Alisa raising an enquiring eyebrow.
“Look, when you have been married as long as Hunter and I have, you start craving a little bit more. Something different. It’s not like we don’t have fun, or that we don’t love each other. It’s just, well you know…” said Suri trailing off.
“That one person cannot possibly satisfy every desire. That over time, passion fades to friendship? That a wedding ring doesn’t end your unconscious attraction to other men?” Said Alisa nodding, “Although Carlos and I haven’t been together as long as you two, those feelings are growing. Besides, I know he feels the same way. I see him checking out the butts of little senoritas when he thinks I’m not looking. He would deny it of course, but why should he? He’s only human after all, I’d be worried if he wasn’t,” Alisa chuckled, “Ugh, I think I would vomit if he were to be all like ‘you butt is the only butt for me’ or other such nonsense.”
“For the record, you do have a cute butt. If I swung that way, you know I’d totally do you,” said Suri winking. She sighed, finished her drink, and signaled the barkeep for another, “See this is why I knew you’d be perfect for this. You get it. Do you know how many times I have wanted to bring this up, but didn’t out of fear of being laughed out of the building?”
“Or having a ‘friend’ rip your head off out of jealousy?”
“Exactly!” Suri scoffed. “Society leads us to believe that the end goal for us all is marriage. Sure, women are liberated. Now we are allowed to own a sex toy or two and sleep around a little before we settle down. But settle down we must! Then what are we supposed to do? Where is the manual that teaches us how to make sex with the same person interesting ten years later?”
“Two toys?” Alisa gave her friend a pointed look, “I have seen your collection my dear, I fear you may have more dildos than I have handbags. That’s not to mention all the little implements, equipment, and other fun things.”
“Pfft, you are one to talk. Besides, this is exactly why we need to act now. There are only so many ways for Hunter to tie me up. Or me to tie him up for that matter. Hunter loves it when the toys come out and he is getting very proficient at multitasking with them, but still, it’s all just window dressing. Underneath it all lies the same two people.”
Alisa raised her eyebrows questioningly, “Now now, don’t talk him down too much, if this works my dear, I’ll be the one he is tying up soon enough. I know you’ve experienced most of what Hunter has to offer, but I haven’t.” Alisa bit her bottom lip and continued, “Not yet at least. Now his butt on the other hand, that, is a work of art!”
Suri laughed as she pushed her friend jokingly on the shoulder, “And you call me devilish? You hussy! You’re right though, it’s good that the boys have been working out so much together. I’m guessing that Carlos’ stamina is about the same as Hunter’s?”
“If this works, we will find out soon enough I suppose!” Said Alisa, then she paused, took a long sip of her beer and added, “Okay, so let’s say we get them so interested that they are pushing us for a swap, how do we actually get them to pull the trigger? It’s one thing to talk about it in private, but quite another thing to actually do it.”
“My thoughts exactly. I don’t think any of us are all that jealous, if we are, this is doomed anyway,” said Suri, “But still, if I was to play with Carlos before you play with Hunter, or vice versa, there may be some residual issues. Agreed?”
“Agreed,” said Alisa.
“I think the best bet would be to do it simultaneously. You still have the outdoor spa, right? Good. We could come to yours for a date night, perhaps bringing some extra gin and a joint or two. Then, if neither of the boys makes a move, we do it.”
“How?”
“Maybe you should feign drunkenness and simply let slip your mutual desires, and then I will just confirm it on our end.”
“Just blurt it all out?”
Suri nodded slightly, thought for a moment and added, “Then you push Carlos close to me, and I will kiss him. Then, out of the principle of fairness, I’ll insist that you get to kiss Hunter.”
“That seems a tad contrived don’t you think?” Said Alisa sighing.
“Perhaps, but do you really think the boys, after months of priming, as well as being drunk and stoned will be in any place to object? They will probably be scheming of ways to get that exact scenario to happen anyway. But knowing them, they will keep it all to themselves as boys stupidly do,” Suri said, shaking her head, “Imagine how good it would be if they were more open with their emotions. I couldn’t imagine them sitting here casually discussing their desires to fuck us, could you?”
“No, never! But do you think we could try just asking them? I would feel kind of bad playing all these games you know?” Said Alisa.
Suri sighed and finished off her second drink. She signed the barkeep for a third, as well as another beer for Alisa, “You’re right, I just want this so bad you know?”
“I do too,” said Alisa.
“Still, some new handbags wouldn’t have gone astray,” said Suri, “But perhaps honesty is the best policy after all. Tonight, let’s sit them down and begin the conversation. Agreed?”
“Agreed.”
“Trust me, once they get over the shock of it, and know we are serious, they will be all in. Besides, it’s just sex, right? What’s wrong with some fun friction among friends?”
