A Different Thing Entirely

By: magmaman



Dean and Kay finished first, he lay back against the pillows on the huge couch, sweat creating a sheen on his upper body. She lay there partially over his body, her eyes closed as her breathing slowly returned to normal.

It had been fantastic, yet Dean never would have even dreamed that something like this could ever happen.

He glanced through the doorway into the bedroom at Jack and Laura. Laura's eyes were also closed, her hips lifting in sequence to the thrusts Jack made. That scene appeared completely unreal to him. 

For a moment, the sight took his breath away.

Laura was his wife of a dozen years.

She was having sex with their friend Jack, and Dean himself had just finished taking Jack's wife, Kay. From what he could see, his wife was enjoying what was being done to her very much.

There was a flash of jealousy, almost anger. Then the guilt at what he has just done himself in a moment of heat swept over him. 

The sensations reached into the deepest recesses of his gut.

Yet this was not cheating, not sneaking. No slipping off to a seedy motel room for a hidden tryst. He had done the same, he had committed the same act.

It was not what he wanted, not what he had intended at all.

+++

Dean was the kind of man who would not stand for infidelity, no way, shape or form. At least he had thought so.

Faithful to a fault, that was he way Dean was wired. He sometimes did look at other females, of course he did.

But actually go so far as to act on any opportunity? That just was not going to ever happen, he was sure of that.

He remembered well that day when his Father had screamed at his Mother, saying things he did not understand as she sat and cried, almost in hysterics.

His Father became almost a stranger after that day, a man who came by to visit once, sometimes twice a year and took him places.

Checks in the mail took the place of the fishing trips, the beach, playing catch on sunny days out in the back yard. The happy barbeques, the crunchy Chicken his Father cooked on the grill, the little touches and hugs, almost automatic?

All gone, and for what?

Just the two of them together were rare after that, the rest of the time if was just his Mom. She also loved him and hugged him, but it was not the same.

Dean knew his Mother had done something with another man, he just never knew which one or exactly what. Understanding finally as he got older, he swore to himself it would never happen to him.

During high school, there were a few girl friends. But all it took to end a budding relationship was for him to find out they dated someone else. 

College was the same way, the result of course was that he did not date much. He gained a reputation as being a bit of a loner.

+++

Now the four of them were naked, in Dean and Laura's own home, in plain view. A bit to drink, not that much really, some titillation, sexual banter and then?

Things just happened, slipped out of control.

The gutteral moans coming from Laura increased in intensity until she shuddered and her body went rigid, straining upwards against Jack.

As his own out of control urges faded, Dean felt his body react with shock. He began to rise, Kay's hand held him back. He glanced at her, there was a look of puzzlement on her face.

Jack was still for several long moments, then he withdrew, his member glistening with their combined fluids. 

Dean felt bile rise in his throat, but it was far too late. The deed was done. His best friend now had carnal knowledge of his mate.

The instant instinct was to lash out, yet he was filled now with his own guilt so he did nothing, said nothing.

Jack's eyes met Dean's, there was an uncomfortable moment, the four of them acted almost embarrassed. Kay sat by Dean's side, her naked left breast pressed against his ribcage.

Her right hand idly stroked his now softened penis, Laura opened her eyes finally and saw that.

She smiled. The internal struggle Dean was having at that moment did not show, yet Kay sensed it, felt his body grow tense.

When Kay saw Laura look her way, she reached down and grabbed the blouse she had been wearing earlier, picked it up and pressed it to herself, suddenly shy at her own nudity.

Laura got up, completely nude and walked unconcerned to the bathroom. Dean could see the swell of her heavy breasts as they swayed gently. Her hips were full, earthy. Laura had no model type figure, rather, she was soft and full appearing. Such a complete contrast to Kay's very slender and sleek body, hardened by many hours spent in a nearby gym.

The three of them watched as Laura went in and closed the door.

This had all happened in the heat of the moment, unexpected. All four of them were quiet, thinking.

Their long term extremely close friendship had now evolved into something else entirely.

"God. I didn't expect...?" Dean's voice trailed off. It sounded almost too loud, breaking the long silence. It was not what he intended to say at all.

"That was amazing!" Jack blurted out. He was now sitting on the edge of the large bed, still nude. The evidence of what had just happened was clear. He was circumcised, unlike Dean.

Dean could see that even as Jack's arrousal had faded, he was obviously a larger man in that department.

Silly of course, but it did not help his change of mood one bit.

+++

It all started on the beach earlier. There had been no plans for anything to happen, none that Dean was aware of anyway. 

The four of them were close to inseparable as friends, and had been for nearly five long years. There were wisecracks, sexual banter but that had been the only gist of it in all that time.

Jack often teased Laura about her mild shyness, although she really wasn't except in public. Kay was far less shy, she often gave as good as she got with the jokes. Laura would blush furiously at the naughtier ones. 

Dean made a few wisecracks of his own but he was nowhere nearly as quick witted as Jack was.

Most evenings were spent almost without fail at one or the other's homes. Jack and Dean sometimes went to play Golf on Sunday afternoons, some weekends might find them fishing in one of the nearby streams. Their mixed bowling team on Wednesday was strong, Laura had the lowest average at 165, Dean the highest at a steady 200.

They were tough to beat at that, and it was always high 5's, noisy.

Card games, just for fun, for chips was a regular event. The big bet was that the loser had to make the noodle salad and run the barbeque on the nicer weekends, that was common if the weather was good.

Laura liked Jack's version of the salad best, Kay liked Dean's. His secret was the dab of Horseradish. Jack's was a special Apple Cider Vinegar he got somewhere, just a dribble of it.

+++

Dean was carrying a big bowl of salad the day when things changed. They four of them got into their minivan and headed down to the coast. It was the first hot weekend of the Summer and they planned to make the most of it. There was not a single cloud in the sky, the delicious smell of of the food filled the vehicle.

Dean knew there was some of Kay's wonderful fried chicken, and those red potatoes that Jack baked, then sliced in half and refried in butter until the tops were crispy brown. Onion tops he chopped fine and cooked right into the flesh of the spuds, mouth watering.

Jack and Kay kept messing around in the back seat all the way, she obviously didn't have a bra on underneath her pullover and Jack nearly could not stop himself from copping some feels.

He was a touchy type of guy anyway, to all outward appearences he was a man completely in love with his wife.

Jack was very likely to run a hand right up inside his wife Kay's shirt at any time, even out in public. The first few times Dean had seen that were startling, but now it was almost normal.

There was lots of risque banter all the way down. Laura was laughing and giggling at their antics, plus she kept glancing back to see what they were up to.

Dean tipped the mirror a couple of times with a laugh, but Kay was wise to that and each time managed to cover up before he could see her. Once he saw the back of Jack's head, he was suckling on her nipple.

"Save some room for the picnic!" Dean called out, they all roared again at that.

All of this was getting Kay fussed up, Jack kept tugging her top up. Dean couldn't see himself, he was busy driving, but he knew what was going on. Except for teasing them a couple of times with the mirror joke, he let them be, they were having fun.

Once at the beach, they got settled in. There were several other couples there, one very slender girl took her top off and ran around that way.

Perhaps that is what started everything?

Her doing that all by herself, the first one should have been with some shyness but there was no sign ot it. It wasn't a dedicated nudity area, but they all knew it happened and none of the authorities seemed to care much.

That was obvious because the two guys from the beach security people went by in their ATV no less than a dozen times, certainly just to look.

The young girl's breasts were nearly non existant, her waist could not have been more than 16", her hips not much larger. The bottoms were barely a wisp of cloth, designed to show off rather than hide anything.

She had to be completely waxed, they was no place left for any public hair.

She looked so beautiful like that, young and energetic, unconcerned about anyone seeing her.

"Check that out!" Dean said to Jack when she ran up close to grab a ball they were kicking around.

"You should do that, honey." Jack teased Kay after taking a long look.

"Yea, sure. My little saggy old boobs are no match for someone with a body like that!" Kay snorted.

Dean glanced at Kay, her breasts were on the smallish side and did sag gently in the top she had on.

"Oh, come on. You are in very nice shape, and at least you have some boobs." Dean stuck his two cents in there with a smirk. It was his attempt at being funny, he knew very well that she wouldn't remove her top.

Kay grinned at Dean, he grinned back. Then she looked at Laura.

"I will if you will." She said. One eyebrow went up.

"What? With all of these guys around?" Laura snorted, waving one hand at what was close to mayhem nearby. Frisbies were flying, balls bouncing around, none of the young people seemed to ever stop running.

"They won't pay any attention, they are all just college kids. Besides, we are good friends. What can it hurt?" Jack stuck that in there, eyeing Laura's larger than medium sized bust.

It was clear to all of them that Jack would like a peek at Laura, his eyes were always checking her out but he never did or said anything before.

"You guys! You just want to see our tits!" Laura snickered.

"Yeah!" The two men said at exactly the same time, which resulted in a roar of laughter from the four of them.

Kay and Laura looked at each other.

"Want to?" Kay asked again.

Laura shrugged. Kay reached for the tie on her top, hesitated.

Laura shrugged again. For a moment, it looked like they both were bluffing, then Kay tugged the string.

So did Laura.

That fast, the two of them were bare breasted.

It got suddenly very quiet.

"Well? Is this what you guys wanted?" Kay stuck out her very pretty set of tits. Her nipples were puffy, round, barely darker than the surrounding flesh.

Laura saw that and did the same. The contrast was total, Laura's breasts were large and full, her nipples wide and flat. They hung slightly outward on each side.

"God, our girls are beautiful!" Dean muttered, getting a nod from Jack who was drinking in the sight of them.

"Jeez, check out the MILFS!" Dean overheard one young man say to another. Glancing back, they were only about 30 feet away, staring.

Laura blushed and brought up one arm, Kay heard that also but she just giggled.

Dean gave the kid a scowl which didn't faze him one bit. Very many smart remarks were likely to get Laura to cover back up and Dean was enjoying seeing her do this right out in public.

The partil nudity didn't bother him, he was proud of his wife. She had an earthy beauty about her that just could not be ignored.

The kid grinned and took off after one of the balls again.

After a bit of time, they all got used to this, later on Laura and Kay somehow got themselves into the beach volleyball game.

"Hey, do you ladies want to play?" The same young man came right up to where the four of them sat.

"Sure!" Kay hopped up, Laura followed but not until she glanced at Dean who just nodded with a smile.

That was something to watch, there were several other girls now also topless, and a bunch of very slender looking college type guys who were extremely interested in the two women in their 30's.

That was amazing all by itself, the young men were surrounded by pretty young ladies in the barest wisps of bikini bottoms, yet their interest clearly lay in the two older women.

Once there was a tangle and Kay was down with a young man on top of her. He took his time getting up, one hand reaching out to touch her side just under her breast to steady her.

When Dean saw Kay's nipples stiffen up, he felt his own erection harden. Watching his wife Laura leap into the air to make a shot was something to see as her breasts swung upwards and then down. The motion, unencumbered, was way more than if she did something like that with her top on. 

More than once bare bodies slapped against each other, the game was very energetic. At one point after a very long volley back and forth, the young man did a set, Laura came in and went high in the air and spiked the ball for the point.

The two embraced, Laura's heavy breasts mashed against the young man's chest for a few seconds and he took his sweet time letting go.

It was like she had forgotten that she was nearly naked.

Dean saw that, but he just sat there wide eyed. Laura had pressed herself flat against that kid!

Still, the moment had been nearly normal, a celebration at success. Just like when they were bowling, with high fives and hugs at a key strike being thrown.

All of the bouncing around and teasing, mostly pure mayhem got both Jack and Dean feeling even more horny.

It was close to unbelievable, neither one of them had ever seen their wives quite like this, but it was tough to say anything, they were obviously having a great time.

Then Kay missed the ball and fell to her knees, the bikini bottoms tugged nearly all the way up inside of her. Her fanny was pointed right at the two men sitting on the blanket, it was clear that she was shaved. One pink outer lip had escaped momentarily.

"Fuck me!" Jack muttered.

"No shit!" Dean replied. They looked at each other and laughed as Kay got up and reached down to adjust the crotch of her bottoms.

Kay glanced Jack's way, then smirked slightly as she caught his expression.

That didn't happen with Laura, her suit had more material, the bottoms were more secure. Besides, Dean knew very well that Laura only trimmed the sides of her pubic hair.

+++

As evening approached, the women came back to their blanket and reached for their cover ups. Both of them sported sheens of sweat.

Dean saw the flushed look on his wife's face, he knew her well. She was very excited.

"Oh, Jesus!" Kay let out a squeal when she realized just how sunburned her breasts were.

Laura was in nearly exactly the same state. The once almost pure white skin where their tops normally covered them was now a bright red glow.

Laura was standing there holding the cloth outwards from her skin, making a face, Kay was clearly uncomfortable also.

"Let's call it a day, we have some Aloe Vera lotion back at our house. That should keep you gals from peeling." Dean suggested. The two girls decided that was a good idea, both of them were feeling the effects of the cloth rubbing against bare skin.

Laura had tugged on a T-shirt, Kay had a loose blouse that buttoned up the front. Jack was smart enough to not try and cop any feels on the way home.

It was only about 15 miles to their house but Kay must have mentioned that her tits felt like they were on fire half a dozen times.

Laura was strangely quiet the whole time. Dean glanced over at her, the nipples were extended, creating bumps on the cloth, and she had her legs crossed, the upper one swinging back and forth.

Dean knew very well what her current state was, and he was also aware of what she would be like the moment they were alone.

It had been a fun day, Dean had really enjoyed looking at Kay's bare breasts, and he was sure Jack liked seeing Laura half nude like that.

It was exciting, but since they were such close friends, it was no big deal.

+++

Back at the house, Dean found the tube of lotion. The girls went into one of the bedrooms to treat each other, in short order there was some loud giggling coming from in there.

"Now what are the girls up to?" Jack asked Dean with a grin.

"Beats the hell out of me. Want to go see?" 

"Yea! Let's!" The two of them hopped up and went quietly to the door. Opening it, there sat Laura naked to the waist rubbing the lotion on Kay's bare back.

Laura looked up at them, then turned slightly so her back was to them, but she made no move to cover up.

"Need some help?" Jack asked them.

The two girls looked at each other, then smirked. Dean spotted the look on Laura's face, he had seen that look many times. Laura was hotter than a pistol, when she got that way she usually became aggressive. He saw she had her right hand high on her thigh, absentmindely working her fingers there. Her nipples were fully erect, Dean knew very well the state she was in.

Kay got up, picked up the tube of lotion. She glanced at Jack, smiled, then handed the tube to Dean.

When she turned her back, Dean squirted some into his hand and began to apply it to her strip of flesh where a bikini top normally went. The angry red line was a deep contrast to the surrounding light Copper color. Kay lifted her arms so he could reach her sides. Dean's fingers touched the sides of her breasts, she didn't object.

"I need some here, too." Kay's voice took on a husky tone as she turned to face Dean.

Dean hesitated, not sure what to do at this point. Squirting some on his fingers, he began to carefully rub it in on the side of her breast as she just stood there sporting s silly grin.

"Give me some of that!" Jack held out his hand. Dean squeezed a liberal mass of it into his palm, Jack began to apply it to Laura who had turned so her back was to him. He sat on the edge of the bed next to her, running his hand back and forth over her.

"I better get some up here too." He said, rubbing his palms together. With that, he reached around the front of Laura and plastered the lotion over the sides of her breasts.

After only a few strokes, it was clear that he was reaching all the way around.

Laura looked up at Dean in surprise when Jack did that. Dean could see that Jack's hands had to be on Laura's bare breasts but somehow in this situation it was all right.

He turned to Kay, standing there naked to the waist, her bright red breasts nearly glowing. Kay's nipples had gone from the puffy look they had before to tight little buttons.

Laura saw Dean take the hint and begin to apply lotion to Kay's small breasts.

For several long minutes the two men were basically playing with the other wife's breasts, and both of them were allowing it. Laura's head tipped back, a soft moan escaped her lips.

Dean saw Jack lean in and kiss Laura, at first it was just a quick brush of the lips against her neck, then as his hand came up to fondle her, she turned and their lips met seriously.

Kay stepped closer to Dean, her arms went around him. She pressed herself to him, they kissed also. By then Jack had Laura down on the bed, his hands busy petting her. Dean took Kay's hand and led her to the couch, which was directly across from the open bedroom door.


A Different Thing Entirely Ch. 02



{We have repetition here, I normally like stories to stand alone. Some readers may not have seen the first chapter.

I write this (perhaps "these") chapters due to quite a few requests for some kind of "ending".

Others see no need.

Or perhaps just to beat that guy who calls himself "Finish the Damn Story.".....? Although I sort of doubt whoever that is cares much about the crap I write.

My work is a bit rambling and I can't help it, when I try to think about it, it seems I lose something.

So, I just start typing, if that makes any sense at all. What comes out is what you get.

Probably why I am not famous, I guess?

Stories are about slices of life, there are endings of course possible to part of it, but does a story ever really end? 

Not before death, I don't think.

Sometimes not even then.

Normally when I do write a second chapter everyone hates it because I think differently than most folks I know, so we shall see.

Any resemblence to persons living, dead or just plain stupid are deliberate.

Plus, sorry for being so slow to get back to this, I have been off my feed a bit, it's tough to type when in a hospital bed.

There just isn't any pill for being old.)

+++

Jack and Kay were quiet all the way home. He nearly could not wrap his mind around the fact that he and his wife had swapped partners with their friends Dean and Laura.

He had no such intentions, it started because the women got silly, and were running around topless down at the beach. That was just fun, sexy teasing, partly to yank the chains of the rather hunky looking young men around, and partly to tease their guys. 

Being silly, and a little bit drunk, off came their tops.

Sure, it was just tits, everyone has those, but it was their own wive's tits, and they were bare.

Right out in public, for everyone to see.

Now that was one hell of a kick!

Jack liked looking at bare boobs, most men do of course. He really liked the big slightly sagging breasts of Dean's wife Laura, and Dean seemed to be very interested in Kay and her smallish on the conical side titties.

Laura's tits were big and soft, spectacular. Plus since they knew Dean and laura very well, the nudity added something special to the incident. Jack's erection was so firm that it actually hurt.

The women got sunburned, both of them. Of course, bare skin that had never been exposed to the Sun usually does burn quickly.

Back at the house Dean had reached out to rub soothing lotion on Kay's back. It was just an attempt at a joke really, an innocent act, but that changed quickly since Kay didn't have her top on at the time. 

Laura sat with her back to the men, one arm modestly covering her now very red breasts.

Then somehow Jack was also using the lotion on Laura?

Laura was allowing that? Kay had already moved to the next step, Jack knew very well that she was quite uninhibited sometimes. Especially after a bit of drinking, titillation. The entire day had been sexy, the two wives had been acting up, trying to entice their guys and it sure did work.

The full bottle of wine and half of a second one added to the mix.

Both Laura and Kay had been a little silly most of the day, right out in public. Clearly they were enjoying being exposed like that, and getting attention from several strapping young men who were there playing volleyball.

Rubbing on the lotion after they got back to Dean and Laura's house was almost like a joke, Dean intended to only do that to her back. 

He often tried, he really did to be as quick witted as Jack, but for some reason the things he said or did as wisecracks just never clicked quite like Jack's easy comments did.

But Kay had turned to him...presenting herself? If Jack had said anything, anything at all, or if Laura had reacted it would have all stopped right there.

Perhaps it just did not register on any of them that the moment had gone past only teasing?

At first Laura had been coy, mildly shy about not having her top on there at the house but then she had looked at Dean and saw what he was doing. He was looking at Kay's bare breasts, using his fingertips to spread the lotion in gentle circles.

Then his fingers brushed one of Kay's suddenly snug little nipples, and her upper body shuddered. Dean repeated the motion with a grin.

Jack had looked over at Laura, of course he had. Laura was large as women go, and she had an under current of sexuality about her that affected most normal males.

Of course since Laura was his best friend's wife, the idea of actually doing anything with her had not crossed Jack's mind at that point.

But looking at her? Certainly that was exciting.

Laura was simply sitting there, intently watching Dean and Kay, her bare back turned, her right forearm covering her nipples.

So beautiful like that, erotic, Jack felt his body flush with sudden desire.

There was a vulnerability, an almost shyness, perhaps the term might fit with Laura, yet also approachable? 

On the trip down to the beach, Jack was messing with his Kay's breasts as he often did. Dean tipped the mirror to take a peek, using an exaggerated motion, joking. Kay of course covered herself just in time, that was worth some giggles.

It had been one of those fun and special days, all four of them were in happy moods.

+++

Jack's mind was in a whirl on their way home. He wanted to talk about what had just happened, but Kay was looking out the passenger side window, deep in thought so he said nothing.

Kay went inside the house as Jack parked the car in their garage and locked it, when he came in he could hear her in the shower.

Sitting in his easy chair, Jack clicked on the TV but he didn't see it, not really.

He knew Kay and Dean had sex, although he had been so engrossed in Laura he hadn't seen much of that. When it started, it had been rather quick, Kay was always that way a little bit, even at home with just the two of them. There was a certain point that she would reach, and once she did she climbed on, eagerly. Her peak always came very quickly, without fail, it was something that Jack loved about his wife. Often her climax began before he could fully insert himself.

The idea of his wife having actual intercourse with another man didn't bother him all that much, even though it wasn't anything he deliberately sought out.

Unless she was sneaky about it, that would cause real problems. Kay didn't have a sneaky bone in her body, part of what Jack loved about his woman.

So sex, that was a lot like masturbating, it just felt a lot better if someone else was involved.

Once before, years back, they engaged in a threesome with her and Jack's cousin. It hadn't been a problem for them later, it was fun in fact to laugh about it.

Also when they had been dating, both Kay and her chubby room mate at college had more or less jumped him when he was over there visiting one evening. Of course both girls had been stoned to the gills, Jack was also.

It was the first and only time Jack had sex with two women at the same time, the contrast between Kay and her tubby room mate was amazing.

That had been fun, too. Plus they both were dating a lot back then, so there was sex with others, of course there was.

He and Kay never kept any real secrets from each other. It wasn't until Jack decided she was the one, that things became exclusive and they married. 

Yet in the background, the past remained. Both Jack and Kay had quite a bit of experience with other partners. Still, that earlier threesome and sleeping with other partners became just a memory.

So what they had just done was not that big of a deal, there really was no jealousy between the two of them.

Those other incidents were also really few and far between, and once Jack and Kay became a couple, dating others came to a halt. All there was, was the one incident with his cousin, and that had been after an on the drunken side party.

Kay was drunk and she didn't have any panties on, just a simple white tank top T-shirt. Not a thing out of the ordinary there for around their house, she just did not bother with underwear much. 

His cousin noticed that and things simply progressed from there. Kay had not meant for his cousin to see anything, but he did and she realized. Tipsy, giggling, she began to tease the two men.

The pair of very strong rum and cola's she had put down eased the way.

Like with Dean and Laura, it had just happened, no real planning involved at all. Sober, she was more careful, drunk, Kay had a tendency to become naughty, flirtatious. Letting Jack's cousin look, at first like an accident which developed into being rather blatant was hot!

Then when Jack's cousin pressed Kay back on their couch, she had glanced over at Jack. He had simply grinned, so Kay closed her eyes and allowed it. Unable to stop himself, Jack quickly joined in.

That time with his cousin just...happened.

+++

Already the swap with Dean and Laura was nearly like a dream, but it had just happened also. He had actually fucked Laura and she seemed completely willing, even eager toward the latter stages of that. Her eyes had squeezed shut like she was in pain, but her thrusting hips told the real story. 

Laura's body was so much larger, softer, it felt completely different. Reserved at the beginning, Laura had allowed Jack to nuzzle her loins. He did notice that several times she glanced over at Dean and Kay, then finally he felt her accept what was happening.

Those changes in her reaction spurred him on to even more effort. When he began to slide up into position, she had even reached down and spread herself with two fingers to ease his entry.

Dean had also fucked Jack's wife Kay, Jack had been so engrossed in what was happening he didn't even see that part, but he did see the aftermath.

Their interlude had been somewhat brief. Jack glanced at Dean and caught his expression, suddenly things became mildly uncomfortable.

+++

That entire day that started all of the trouble had been one of silly teasing, then the two girls had bared their breasts right out there on the beach, in public. 

In all their years of friendship, nothing like that had ever happened before.

That was only having fun, plus it was sexy. They both knew very well the guys would enjoy that and so did both of them. With the attentions of the young men who were also around, it all really got the two mature women's juices flowing.

Their guys were affected too, that much was clear. 

Jack had found himself in a state that seldom happened, close to out of control. It was titilating, their girls had garnered so much attention. It filled him with pride that Kay looked like that, and Laura? 

The truth was that he loved her also, not like a man loves his mate but more like a good friend, or perhaps a..sister?

It is what he thought, anyway.

That one brief moment during the game, Laura had gone up in the air and spiked that volleyball, making the point. Then a young man had hugged her for making what was a spectacular play.

Laura was plastered to his chest for a moment, her large breasts mashed against the young man's sweat covered skin.

That moment caused Jack to suddenly see her differently, his breath caught in his throat from wanting her.

+++

The jokes back and forth on the trip down were nothing abnormal, fiddling with Kay in the back seat with Dean and Laura up front was not out of the ordinary either.

Then Dean had tipped his mirror as a joke to try and catch a peek at Kay's bare titties, that had been exciting and Jack felt that sudden urge to show her to Dean, let him look. He caught the expression on Kay's face, and knew that if he had, she would have allowed it. If Laura had not been there, he might have done just that, but her manner was much more reserved, often difficult to read.

The wine was good, the day was warm. When that slender young girl dropped her top, that was amazing. That was also what had started things. Jack saw that Dean reacted to that himself, and suddenly their women were acting up, teasing and flirting, not wanting to be outdone by some slip of a thing in front of their men.

When Kay pressed the issue, Laura went for it and their wives were suddenly topless right there on the public beach, young people all around nearby. 

Jack came very close to ejaculating in his bathing suit at that.

Laura's breasts were large, they hung slightly to each side and moved deliciously. Such a contrast to Jack's wife Kay, her upper body was much smaller, capped with nearly invisible nipples.

Jack could see she found baring herself in public turned her on, her nipples were drawn up into tight little buttons like they always did when something excited her.

Laura on the other hand had darker nipples, they also had that earthy vertical oval shape he found so intriguing.

That by itself was amazing, nothing like this had every happened before. Sure, they were such good friends, there was always lots of sexy teasing between the four of them, but this?

Then the one young man, barely more than a boy came over and asked the girls to play in their volleyball game?

Jack and Dean sat and watched that in amazement as both women hopped up. It was clear their wives were flirting and teasing the young men with no mercy. With both of them being mature, it was almost a competition between them and the other painfully young college girls.

Their antics got very sexy before the two women finally came back to where their husbands sat. That hug that Laura gave the one young man over a spectacular play was very hot, then Kay had gone for the ball and missed. Ending up on her hands and knees, her legs splayed out, for a moment there was a flash of more flesh than she was supposed to show.

Dean saw that and let out a quiet involuntary groan. Kay's very puffy vagina was on display for barely a moment, that caused Dean to be in the same state as Jack was. Dean watched as Kay reached down and adjusted the crotch of her suit back into place, she caught Dean's eye and a smirk crossed her lips.

All Dean could do was exhale firmly, Jack glanced over at Dean. His eyes appeared to be trying not to stare but he was failing at that.

Later they both noticed how sunburned the girls were, the exposed flesh had acquired a violent reddish hue. Their sensitive nipples, now covered with cloth had both of them squirming.

Back at Dean and Laura's house, the two women went inside the bedroom, soon there was a lot of giggling coming from in there so Dean and Jack went to the doorway to take a peek.

That idea was another joke, the women would squeal and cover up, and everyone would laugh.

Both women had their tops off again, rubbing the sunburn lotion on each other. Laura looked up and saw the grinning men, quickly turned her back shyly. 

Kay just smiled and made no effort to hide herself, Jack could see her eyes were bright, he knew what was in her thoughts.

It was just like that time with his cousin, Kay had shifted from mild resistance to overly eager, at that point she wanted to do it and there was probably no stopping her.

Then Dean was spreading lotion on Kay's back as Laura sat and watched that over her shoulder, her right arm coyly over her bare breasts.

It was like everything that happened that day all came down to the one moment. Dean was much taller than Kay, his fingers were stroking her back and barely the sides of her breasts, he was looking over her shoulder at Kay's perky nipples.

"Give me some of that!" Jack had blurted out, holding out one hand.

Dean squirted a dollop of the lotion into Jack's hand.

That seemed to be almost...permission? It was obvious what Jack was going to do.

Jack turned to Laura who still sat with her back to him. Her eyes widened slightly when she realized, after a quick glance at what Dean was doing to Kay, she reached up and lifted the back of her hair, tipped her head forward.

That was a clear invitation also.

Jack sat behind her on the bed and applied the lotion to the red strip across her back where the bathing suit strap would have been if she had it on. When his hands went gently around to the sides of her breasts with a mind of her own, Laura did not protest, she even lifted her arms to give him access.

The much softer flesh was a clear contrast to Jack's own wife Kay, who was far more muscular, firm.

Jack could not help himself, he reached further, felt Laura's soft nipples. They stiffened slightly at his touch but she still did not protest as he gently spread the lotion.

Laura turned her head again to look at Dean and Kay. Dean had both of his hands spreading lotion on her bare breasts, she was facing him now, very close. Dean appeared to be enjoying that. Kay had a silly smirk on her face. 

Laura let out a small sigh and turned her head away as Jack continued.

Jack was now openly fondling her large bare breasts with both hands. Intent on what was happening, he didn't see Kay press Dean back onto the couch, when he did look he saw her hand was in the front of Dean's pants.

Things had changed from just playing to serious.

Jack turned his attention back to Laura who had now turned to him. His hand went up and down her side several times, with the slightest pressure of his hand she lay back on the bed.

Jack leaned down, pressed his lips to Laura's nipple. She reached up and put one hand on the back of his head, her eyes fluttering as his lips brushed her sensitive nipple. 

Her head was turned, she was watching what Dean and Kay were doing. They were already both nude. Kay straddled Dean's legs, Laura could see her husband's penis in the gap between her open legs, erect. She started to open her mouth to say Dean's name, just then Jack pressed his lips to hers.

Jack reached down to tug at her shorts, so Laura lifted her hips to help him. By now they both knew what was going to happen.

Finally tugging her bottoms completely off, Jack leaned in and buried his face in Laura's groin. Her loins were puffy and very visible through the soft dark hairs there, so unlike the sweet curve of Kay's waxed vagina.

Laura moaned, Jack saw her turn her head once again to look at what Dean and Kay were doing. Jack didn't look himself, he was intent on what was before him.

Her body stiffened, just for an instant when she felt Jack's fairly large member touch her.

For a moment Jack thought she was going to stop him, resist. He did not realize that his friend Dean was already embedded in Kay, and she was eagerly bouncing up and down on him.

Then it was like Laura made a decision.

When Laura's legs parted with no resistance at all, Jack slid up into position to enter her. She had taken a deep breath, then released it with a sudden blast, her hand reached down and she spread her lower lips with two fingers. Jack slid all the way inside of her, it took nearly no effort.

He hesitated for a short moment when she stiffened, then he felt her relax and thrust back against him.

It was amazing, wonderful. It felt so good, the puffed up flesh of her insides yielded easily with each thrust. He began to pump her, still unaware of what was going on just feet away in the living room.

+++

About a dozen minutes later, Jack lay there basking in his own end of climax sensations, then he became aware.

Glancing over, he saw Dean staring, Kay sat pressed to him, one hand stroking Dean's now deflated penis absentmindedly. That was something Kay always did after sex, nearly without fail.

Dean was still erect, that suddenly looked obscene as Kay's hand tugged Dean's rather loose foreskin forward, then gripped and slid her hand back, exposing the bulbous head of his penis.

He saw it twitch and expand slightly, that appeared almost obscene.

Now sheepish, Jack withdrew. Laura got up, without looking at anyone, she went into the bathroom and shut the door.




A Different Thing Entirely Ch. 02



They all began to dress quietly. Laura came out, still naked, retrieved her clothing.

The silence was quite pregnant.

The evening ended on a mildly uncomfortable note, Jack and Kay went home shortly after. His few attempts at levity now fell short.

+++

"How..uhh...was it?" Jack managed to lamely ask after he and Kay had both showered and were in bed.

"It was ok. Fine, I guess." Kay answered, knowing exactly what Jack was asking.

"He isn't as big as me, is he?" Jack added, already knowing the answer.

"No. But he sure was hard! It stayed that way, too." Kay giggled softly.

Jack reached for her, Kay responded willingly.

"You aren't mad, are you honey?" Kay asked him.

"No. Of course not." He responded.

The familiar sensations of his own wife was wonderful but his mind was on how Laura had felt to him.

After, she cuddled up tightly to him, one hand reaching down to absentmindedly stroke his soft member. That same thing Kay did after sex, almost a habit.

It flashed into Jack's mind that she had done exactly the same thing with Dean, he had witnessed that.

"Things might be different now between the four of us." Jack whispered quietly.

"I hope not, Dean and Laura are our best friends. We don't want there to be any upsets." Kay said.

Both of them had picked up on Dean's reaction, he didn't say anything, not really. But the four of them were close enough they sensed it.

Watching as Jack had sex with Laura had bothered Dean, that much was clear. He didn't say anything, but it did cast a pall over the aftermath.

Yet Dean had actually started it, so his reaction was hard to understand.

+++

Laura felt guilt deep inside over the next few days, and she knew very well why.

She could have stopped Jack at any time, she was aware of that. But when she turned her head to check to see how Dean was reacting, Kay was already on top of him. It was clear they were fucking, in fact, impossible to miss since Kay's back was facing her. She could see her husband's loins, his hairy testicles were in view. He wasn't actually thrusting into Kay, she was doing all of the effort.

That looked so strange, her husband's trousers and briefs were around his ankles, Kay's behind was pointed directly at her, she could see her loins wrapped around her husband's erection clearly. Both of his hands gripped her slender buttocks as she pumped at him, her head thrown back.

It was almost like a porno movie, almost like a dream. Then Laura felt the end of Jack's erection probe her, she took a breath and relaxed.

One hand dropped down, her two index fingers spread her vagina, just like she did at home when Dean slid into position.

Jack was larger, much larger than her husband Dean. But she also felt his penis bend slightly before finally invading her. Then it was far too late, Laura felt her body respond as Jack's pubic bone rubbed firmly against her own.

At that point Laura was lost in what Jack was doing to her, her hips began to rise to meet him.

When the first orgasm crashed over her, that was the point where Dean typically ejaculated, but Jack kept on. Laura felt herself building again, a second similar one poured over her. Yet still, Jack thrust on, over and over. Laura lost track, she became nearly blinded in the moment.

She had never orgasmed three times in one session of lovemaking before. Even one crazy time back in college, she and her roommate had sex with their boyfriends like they sometimes did, in the same room with the lights very low. The evening had involved smoking some pot, drinking Vodka and Orange juice, it was rather intoxicated in the room and her own boyfriend was having a struggle keeping himself firm. He did manage, though.

Barely finished, there was a knock at the door and two guys from down the hall arrived. There was no bedroom in their apartment, just the two beds, it was almost like a cheap hotel room. The two of them were trapped naked in their beds, there were a lot of jokes and kidding and one thing led to another.

The one young man came over and sat on the edge of Laura's bed, her own boyfriend was now in her roommate's bed. Her roommate's boyfriend was in the shower, and when the man she barely knew reached out to touch her, she giggled and touched him right back.

Crazy college stuff, Laura had let three different men invade her body that night, but she only reached a climax the one time with the very last young man. He was one of those with rather large equipment, plus he had stamina.

The insane part of it was that she did not even know his name, and never saw him again after that.

Laura never allowed herself to ever get into that kind of situation again, in the cold light of day she was ashamed of herself.

Several times after her then boyfriend suggested a repeat, but she would have nothing to do with it. She was ashamed of the incident.

Finally one day he was no longer her boyfriend.

+++

When she was aware of the flood of wetness from Jack, she knew that finally he was finished. His body collapsed, his weight was crushing her. The rough hairs on Jack's chest were making her nipples sting.

Laura felt uncomfortable, she pressed upwards with her hands and Jack withdrew. Glancing over, she saw Dean staring at her, she suddenly felt awkward.

Then she saw Kay's hand, it was stroking Dean's still firm member. As Laura sat up, she saw Kay reach for her top, pressing it to her upper body.

Laura got up, her own brief clothing was on the other side of the bed so she walked quickly to the bathroom and shut the door.

She cleaned herself with tissue, surprised at the volume of Jack's sperm. Finally she reached for a wash cloth, dampened it and wiped herself clean.

Still completely naked, she hesitated. But she had to go back out there to get her clothes. When she did, they were all dressed, silent.

Laura did her best to act like this was normal as she quickly tugged on her clothing.

Conversation was sparse, they talked about how it had been fun on the beach, about the upcoming bowling league and how if they took all four points they could win the season trophy since they would be out of reach for the final games. 

Jack's normally jovial manner was stilted. There was no mention of their animalistic behavior that happened just minutes earlier.

+++

The next few days passed without Jack and Kay coming over or even calling. That by itself was not normal. 

Dean and Laura didn't call them, either.

It was almost like none of them wanted to face what had happened. Dean did not say a single word about it either, not one. He was far quieter than normal, but Laura knew what was on his mind.

But what else could she have done? It all just happened, Dean and Kay were the ones that started it, not her.

+++

Wednesday evening they went to the bowling alley, all then seemed to be normal at first. At one point Jack cornered Laura over by the counter and was talking about perhaps the four of them might make a run down to the coast, rent a boat and go catch some Crabs.

He was also being Jack, which meant half of what he said was funny. Laura tipped her head back and laughed, then she glanced over at Dean. The look on his face was odd. It wasn't anger, it was like he was...irritated? 

Laura knew very well he was upset, and she also knew why. But she had seen him, he was the one that was first. Laura had a moment when she was going to stop things, but then? It appeared like what Dean wanted, so she had relaxed and allowed Jack to have his way.

Then it felt good, really good? Laura became lost in the moment, in the rawness of rutting. How it was possible that it felt so good? Laura loved her own man completely, it should be best with him?

She had no idea of what to do or say. No way could she ever admit to Dean that her climax with Jack exceeded anything she had ever known before.

That would crush him, of that she was well aware.

So she kept silent about it, hoping that he would not ask. Laura had never lied to Dean, it was something she never wanted to have to do.

Dean had been strangely silent for days, in fact, he hadn't touched her or even reached for her since that night.

That was not normal at all, Dean was extremely virile, he made love to her 3 to 4 times a week without fail. She had gotten so used to him that a climax was extremely easy, that always began with a warm feeling, then his touch and kisses made her feel good. She had learned to relax and accept, and in just a couple of minutes her body would let go.

Going five whole days without was something Laura did not remember in their entire dozen years of marriage.

Laura quickly used the excuse of needing to get her bowling shoes from her locker to get away from Jack when she saw Dean's expression.

Their match went very badly, the rest of them were right on their averages, but Dean was terrible. He was missing both ways, he even missed several of the easiest shots of all.

In the 2nd game, he dumped his strike ball into the gutter, then on the next shot did the same thing.

He sulked all the way home which didn't help one bit.

The fact that Dean had been with Kay did not bother her, she knew that Dean was her man. But Laura knew now that allowing Jack to have sex with her did bother Dean.

That much had become clear. Her few weak attempts to try and discuss it with him were met with an upset expression, so she quit trying.

Dean just would not talk to her about it, so Laura decided to talk to Kay, see if she could figure out how to sort things out and get back to normal.

It had all been a silly incident, just something that happened. Somehow they needed to get that behind them.

+++

Dean always slept very late on weekends, that would be the perfect time. Not wanting to wake him, that morning she left Dean a note.

She mentioned she was out shopping with Kay, added some happy faces and an "I love you!"

That was not anything abnormal either, Laura and Kay often took off for long shopping trips, just the two of them. The guys would be left to their own devices, and normally they either went fishing or ended up in Dean's garage working on that old 1971 Plymouth Duster he had dragged out of a mass of blackberry bushes and brought home.

That thing was a pile of rust and dents, even the upholstery was torn and rotten. But it only took a few days and the guys actually got the thing started, monstrous clouds of smoke pouring out of it.

Now after a couple of years it sat there, painted shining white and gleaming. It even ran well now, it was very loud and sounded powerful. She knew that a few more pieces, like better brakes and something wrong with a drive line, whatever that was and they had planned to take some test drives, the four of them.

Their guys were having fun with that, and it left Laura and Kay time to visit, talk about everything under the Sun.

+++

It had been way longer than normal since she saw Kay, they headed out for the day like they had done many times in the past.

The weather was warm so Laura dressed lightly. They window shopped and talked about everything except for that one incident. They both knew it was on their minds but approaching the subject was difficult. 

Finally Kay wanted to stop at a bar and get a drink.

One drink became four of them.

That was when they had the in depth conversation.

Laura explained that the "incident" as she called it was just a combination of everything and should never happen again. By the time they got mildly tipsy they were giggling about comparing their husbands.

Kay snickered when she told Laura that Dean's cock felt like it was a solid steel bar. 

Laura laughed at that and said it always felt that way.

"Jack just kind of wads the thing up and stuffs it in there!" Kay added, they both roared hysterically at that. 

They even discussed their orgasms, Kay told Laura that it had felt so different with Dean, his climax was like being shot down there, she had felt him when he ejaculated so forcefully.

Laura confessed that she had never had more than two in her entire life, and Jack had given her three of them, at least she thought so.

The chatter, the confessions were recreating the intimacy the two women had enjoyed before, Laura felt wonderful again, happy.

That was when Kay mentioned she had some "stuff" she used sometimes, it made her slick and caused Jack to really have to work to get off. She produced a small packet and handed it to Laura, telling her to give it a try.

"You won't believe what this stuff will make you feel like!" Kay leaned in and whispered to Laura.

Laura slipped that into her purse.

They were having fun, it was a great day. The alcohol was really helping them get past any discomfort.

They finally left the bar holding hands, once again as close as two women can get.

+++

Kay had purchased a new bikini earlier, it was best described as skimpy, intended to show rather than conceal. One piece, the top was two strips that went down to the crotch, barely wide enough to cover Kay's button like nipples.

"I could never wear anything like this in public." Laura mentioned, holding the bottom portion in one hand. It was quite clear she would need to keep her legs together if she ever did wear something like that. The suit worked for Kay because her waxed vagina was only a curved slit, Laura's own earthy pubes were much fuller and she didn't shave at all.

"That's because of the brush, maybe you should go get yourself waxed." Kay laughed.

Laura had thought of it but Dean liked to run his fingers through her pubic hair and since he liked it, she only trimmed the edges lightly.

Finally over at Jack and Kay's house, of course Jack wanted to see the new outfit. Laura was surprised that he was there, she had assumed he and Dean would be off someplace like they usually did.

Kay stripped down and tugged it on right there in the living room, then did a little spin.

The outfit really was scandalous, Kay was likely to be noticed wearing it more than if she was naked.

"Hey, why don't you try this on, Laura?" Jack teased. He sounded a little bit drunk himself, and Laura noticed the bottle of Corona sitting beside his chair.

It was clear that Jack was not on his first one, she also spotted four more empty ones on their kitchen table.

By then Laura was back to feeling nearly sober, but Kay had made them both a Coffee liquor drink with milk, nearly filling a water glass.

So Laura was feeling the effects of that also.

"No way, I can't wear that." Laura protested.

"Oh, come on. You will look great in it!" They both ganged up on her.

The combination of a fun day out with Kay and the large drink were enough to get Laura to go for it, she went into the bedroom and stripped down.

She had to tug the cloth out as widely as she could get it to almost cover her much larger nipples, and the bottoms were only barely wide enough to keep her pubic hair from showing, in fact at any angle it would show.

Laura's vagina sported large lips, those created a bulge in the cloth where Kay's was a crease.

She giggled when she saw herself in the mirror, the suit looked obscene on her. For a moment she very nearly balked at going out and letting Jack see her in it, but then she thought of what they had done together and he had already seen all of her anyway, so it shouldn't matter.

"Wow! Jack exclaimed when Laura came out, being careful to not move around too much. Kay joined in, telling her how sexy she looked in it.

Laura felt herself flush at their comments and her own near nakedness right in front of them. The familiar tingling began in her loins, she realized what was happening and knew she shouldn't have come out like this.

Then Jack started to get up, Laura saw the look in his eyes. He stopped when she shook her head no and he sat back down.

"You should buy one of those, Dean will love it!" Kay gushed. She had seen Jack's reaction and knew exactly what he was thinking, so she said that to cover what might have been a moment of discomfort.

At the mention of her husband's name, Laura glanced at her watch. It was already very late, she knew she had better get home.

She quickly went in and got dressed, giving Jack and Kay the usual hug, she left.

Laura had noticed the way Jack was looking at her, she knew what he was thinking also. Her body reacted and she wanted to get home, be with her husband.

Dean met her at the door, he appeared upset.

When he asked, Laura told him the truth, she never wanted to hide anything from her husband at all. It was just a day out with their friend Kay, nothing really different at all.

And after all, she had only modeled the suit, not even thinking of how Dean might react.

Dean exploded in accusations, his anger was completely unlike him. She could not remember him ever raising his voice to her.

His reaction shocked her. He accused her of being drunk, she denied that, telling him she just had the one drink. She forgot the four they had earlier, but that was several hours.

"We didn't do anything!" Laura told him through her own tears. 

He was scaring her.

Finally Dean calmed down, Laura went in and fixed dinner. They sat and ate it in silence.

Later as they readied for bed, Laura decided she would reach for him, get him going. She wanted desperately for him to touch her, hold her, make love to her. In the bathroom, she opened the little packet that Kay had given her, used one finger to insert some. It felt warm, slippery at first, then suddenly hot and it tingled.

When she joined her husband in the bed, she was adding her own juices to the lube. Laura felt as ready for sex as she could ever remember.

When Dean responded to her advances, that was wonderful, she was completely ready, almost in orgasm before he even entered her.

Dean rolled up on top of her, he barely inserted himself when he came to a sudden stop. His erection failed, he withdrew.

"What's wrong, honey?" Laura asked. This had never happened before.

"Nothing." Dean muttered, then he rolled over with his back to her.

Laura lay there for a very long time, worried. At the same time, her loins felt like they were on fire.

Finally as Dean's breathing slowed, she slipped into the bathroom, masturbated. In her fantasy, her husband was naked, erect, coming towards her.

That was nearly always the fantasy in her mind in her private moments, that thought of anticipation in the moment before her husband invaded her, the way his penis was always so hard.

Laura had only had one real lover before Dean, not counting that crazy drunken night in college. That young man's erection was softer, and he often left her short of a climax.

Then Jack of course was her 3rd, he certainly did not leave her short, that had been different, amazing.

But she wanted it to be with her husband Dean.

It was all a mistake, and Laura had no idea how to fix things.

Laura slid back into the bed quietly so as not to wake Dean, then she lay there biting her lip to keep from crying.

+++

The sudden flashing lights in his rear view mirror brought Dean back to reality.

When he had seen Jack at the Spar Tree tavern, and he had made the drunken comment about how good Laura was and that Dean should try them both at once?

A stupid comment of course, but in Jack's mind he was trying to fix things, smooth them over. Let his friend know that the incident was all right, it meant nothing.

That caused Dean to explode and he had knocked Jack right off his bar stool with a beer bottle.

Then he had gone over to their house in a rage, Kay was there. At that point, from the way Laura had felt the night before, and then Jack's comment? She had been so slipperly, soft?

Like she had recently had sex with someone who had to be Jack? Dean was sure she had sex with him again, and was lying about it.




A Different Thing Entirely Ch. 02



One look at him and Kay knew what was going to happen, he actually frightened her. The sex had been on the rough side, and she had not resisted, not one bit.

Furious, for revenge, Dean had even taken her vaginally first, then anally, something he never did with his own wife, or anyone else for that matter.

Other than the fact that Kay had not resisted at all, it was very close to a rape. After doing that to Kay, Dean had simply driven away, no idea at all where he was going.

Escape the pain, it was all he could think of.

Now he felt shame over doing that to Kay, and a policemen was walking towards his vehicle.

Dean braced himself for being arrested.

+++

"Do you know how fast you were going?" The policeman asked.

"I...no, I don't." Dean told him. His mind had been wandering, he was paying no attention at all to his speed. 

He had been remembering the time his Father had shown up for his graduation, and he had even sat with his Mother. 

Glancing over, he could see they were talking, and his Mother was smiling.

Later his Father came by the house, and he was still there after everyone else had left.

In bed that night, Dean had held his breath and listened carefully, it was quite clear what was happening in the other bedroom.

His parents had both had a few drinks, and now?

They were making love!

Dean drifted off to sleep, nearly giddy with happiness for the first time in a very long time.

His Mother and Father, back together?

But the next morning when he woke up, his Father was gone.

Things went right back to the way they had been before.

+++

"I got you at 84 on radar, the limit out here is 65." The policeman accused.

"I'm sorry, my head was somewhere else." Dean answered.

"Well, hold it down, I am going to cite you for the 19 over, one more and the fine doubles, got it?" He handed Dean a slip of paper.

Glancing at the ticket, he saw it was for $450.00.

Dean sighed, started the truck and drove off. He carefully set his speed at 65 and held it there.

For some reason his mind was now completely blank, it was like he was driving on auto pilot. He had no idea at all where he was going.

He stopped several times for fuel, then just got back on the freeway. At one point he pulled into a wayside, slept in the rig. The Sun was low in the sky when he woke up. He drove on, all night long, his mind close to blank.

How long later it was, Dean wasn't sure. He saw the fuel gauge was reading nearly empty, so he pulled off at the next exit and filled the truck. He used the opportunity to clean out the cab, there were a couple of fast food bags, empty soda bottles, a half eaten bag of chips.

Dean had no memory of where those came from but he could still taste the the mild bitterness of taco flavor.

He paid cash for the fuel, then parked and went into a nearby cafe that was part of the complex.

A woman in her 50's handed him a menu, Dean didn't even look at it. He asked for some Bacon, Eggs, some hash browns.

"Kind of late for breakfast, ain't it, honey?" The woman said.

"Yea." Was all Dean said. The waitress jotted his order down, went and turned it in.

Dean looked at his watch, it was a quarter past 10 in the evening.

The next thing he knew was the waitress setting down his meal and waking him up.

"You OK, honey?" She asked him.

"Yes, fine. Just tired."

"There is a motel right down the street, it's nice and clean. I know, because I own it. Maybe you should get a hot bath, some rest." She smiled at him.

"Good idea." Dean nodded.

+++

It was nearly noon when Dean woke up. It was rare when he slept that late, the last time flashed into his mind. 

Laura had gone off with Kay, he was sure something had happened that afternoon with Jack. That much was clear, her vagina had felt softer than normal, slick.

Like someone had been there earlier?

Dean forced the thought out of his mind, he showered and walked over to the little cafe for breakfast.

The same older woman was in the back, she came out and got him a steaming cup of coffee.

"You clean up good, honey." She grinned at him

"What do you do, live here?" He asked her.

"Actually, I do, in the back. I own this place, too." She grinned.

"You must be Maggie?" Dean had seen the sign outside.

"Yep, that's me. So, what would you like for breakfast?" She asked.

"My life back, but I will settle for some ham and eggs." Dean had no idea why he said that.

"The ham and eggs I can do, the other part? Sometimes you just need to get up and do your best to fix things. Running away doesn't help anything."

Dean looked up at her in surprise. How in the hell could she know that? She just grinned and went into the kitchen.

There was another much younger woman there, she brought out his breakfast. Dean sat and ate in silence. As he was finishing, Maggie came out and sat down, just like that.

"Woman, huh?" She asked bluntly, with a serious face.

"Yea, how did you know?"

"I see a lot of men come by, after awhile a person just knows. You have it written all over your face."

"Swell." Dean muttered.

"One thing I do know about, honey, is women. You will never understand us but if you sit down and talk, and listen, it might surprise you what you find out."

"She...she cheated, I can't handle that." Dean managed.

"Yea, maybe. How much do you know? Do you know why, did you try and find out what is really going on?"

With that, Dean began to let it all pour out of him, Maggie sat and listened.

A couple of times the other woman took an order, Maggie told her to go cook it and went back to listening.

"So? You love your wife but you are running away? Why? If you had an incident as a couple, that was both of you, that isn't cheating and it sounds like you were smack dab in the middle of it. Sure, maybe you shouldn't have, but still?"

"That wasn't it, it was when she..she...?"

"You say you don't know what happened?"

"No, but..."

"Like I said, with women you need to sit and listen, then talk. You will be amazed at what they will tell you if you do. But one thing is good."

"What's that?" Dean asked.

"You smell a hell of a lot better!" She laughed and got up, went back into the kitchen.

Dean paid for his food, left a nice tip. Maggie smiled and waved to him from the kitchen. He waved back, suddenly feeling better.

For some reason the older woman's comments had struck home. Dean knew what he wanted, he wanted everything to be normal. His Father loved his Mother, this he knew for sure, but he had left and denied himself any chance at making amends.

He knew that his Mother had made a one time mistake, then she had confessed, torn by guilt. His Father could not handle that, and it had torn the family apart.

Dean swore to himself that would never happen to him, ever.

But, it had.

+++

Back on the freeway, he headed home with no hesitation. He slipped the speed up to a steady 10 MPH over the limit.

Dean also had a pretty good idea of what he was heading back to. Belting Jack with a beer bottle probably meant he would need to deal with assault charges, then going over and practically raping Kay?

Although that had not been rape, Kay had reacted very willingly. Answering his knock, she had smiled and let him in. Then she had slipped into his arms. The rest after that was a blur, he had taken his anger on everything out on her, yet she had not protested, not one bit.

Dean had found himself wracked by guilt, he had just made the situation worse.

Then all he could think of to do was get away from everything.

+++

"Talk? Listen?" That was what the older woman he barely knew had told him.

It was time to face the music, Dean suddenly felt better. How an older woman could see right through him, change his thoughts from running away to trying to fix things, he had no clue.

But she had, simple as that.

+++

Dean was reaching into the rear of his vehicle for his things when he saw Laura coming at a dead run. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh! God! You are all right? I have been so frightened!" She grabbed him and hugged him.

It was not the reaction he expected. He expected her to be angry. Finally she let go, looked up at him.

"We have to talk, honey." She said simply.

Dean just nodded.

Inside, Dean sat down in his usual chair, Laura sat across from him, her hands in her lap.

There were several long and uncomfortable minutes.

"Where have you been? It's been almost 5 days." She asked.

"Driving, thinking I guess."

"Jack is pretty mad at you."

"I figured that and I don't care."

"Honey, I was telling you the truth, nothing happened." Laura said.

"You told me you had one drink, but I know it was way more. Then Jack told me I should try both you and Kay at once, and how hot you were? What was I supposed to think?"

"It was just one at Kay's, I didn't...Oh. We did have some drinks earlier."

"You didn't have sex again with Jack?" Dean asked.

"No! I didn't! All I did was put on that silly bathing suit Kay bought, we didn't do anything at all."

"Laura, I felt you, you were way too...slick?"

"Oh, my God? Is that it? Kay gave me some stuff, it is supposed to be warm and make it..sex..last longer. I just wanted to see what it was like."

"You should have told me."

"Yes, I know that now."

"This is all pretty silly, Honey. What we did was wrong but, we both did it. When I saw you and...Kay, I thought it was what you wanted. I would never have...oh God! Can't we just get past it, please? It's you I love!!" Laura was trying not to cry.

"I guess we can try." Dean realized he believed her now.

Laura came over and hugged him.

"I will fix us something to eat, OK?" She said.

"OK." He answered.

Laura made some sandwiches, they sat and ate quietly.

"So just how mad is Jack?" Dean asked her at one point. He was trying to think of a way to tell Laura what he had done with Kay, instead that comment came out.

"Pretty mad, you broke his nose." She told him.

"Well, I guess I will have to talk to him, apologize and get that sorted out." Dean said.

"Maybe, I don't know. Jack is pretty mad." Laura told him.

"And how is Kay?" He asked.

"Fine, I guess. Why?" Laura looked up at him.

"You...you don't know?" 

"Don't know what, honey?"

Dean felt a little chill, he didn't answer.

"What about Kay, Honey?" Laura asked.

"I...I was mad, I thought you and Jack? I went over there." Dean managed with hesitation.

"And did what?" Laura demanded.

Dean blurted out what he had done, he didn't hold anything back. Laura sat and stared at him, then she got up without a word and went into the bedroom.

Dean started the follow her in there, but someone knocked on the door.

Opening it, there stood Jack.

"Jack, I'm sorr......." Was as far as he got, Jack's punch connected squarely with his nose.

Dean didn't remember hitting the floor.

+++

The room was white, everything was white. Someone said something, it didn't register.

"What?" Dean asked looking around.

There sat Laura next to the bed.

"Where are we?" He asked.

"Hospital. We were scared there for awhile, honey. How do you feel?"

Dean reached up and felt his face, something covered most of it.

"Your nose is broken, you have a mild concussion from when your head hit the floor." She said.

"Jack. He hit me."

"Yes, he did."

"I guess I had it coming?" Dean said after a moment.

"Yes, you did, asshole." Dean turned his head, saw Jack sitting in a chair on the other side. Kay was right beside him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Dean demanded.

"Just making sure I didn't kill you, I guess. You really are a damn fool, you know that?"

Dean blinked, looked at Jack. He wore some kind of white bandage on his face.

"Hey, look. I am sorry. Things got all out of hand, I thought that....?"

"Yea, we pretty much know what you thought. We didn't do anything but look at Laura, although I would have loved to and fuck you if you don't like it. You fucking sunday punched me, for God's sake." Jack said.

"You fucking sunday punched me too."

"Yea. It felt good." Jack laughed.

"It's not funny."

"It wasn't very fucking funny for me, either."

"You guys look like twins!" Kay piped up with.

Dean and Jack looked at her, then at each other. Dean started laughing but stopped, that hurt like hell.

"OK. So what are we going to do?" He asked, looking over at Laura.

"Well, we need to go finish league day after tomorrow since we are now two points behind. You didn't show up so we had to use your average less 10 points."

"You guys went bowling while I was gone?"

"Yes, we did. You better show up and hold us up, this is the playoffs." Jack stood up. He walked over to Dean, held out his hand.

"None of this shit happened, OK?" He said as they shook hands. 

"OK." Dean said, although he wasn't 100% sure of that. 

Jack and Kay left, Dean looked over at Laura.

"I love you, honey." She told him.

"I love you too, but I don't understand? Jack didn't say a word about what I did to Kay...?"

"She hasn't told him, honey. Maybe it's best she never does."

"Oh, fuck." Dean muttered.

+++

(I did it again, didn't I? Yeah, I know. Finish the fucking story!...*LOL**)



A Different Thing Entirely



Looking up, Dean watched in awe as Jack struggled to tug down Laura's underwear. As he watched, she lifted her hips to help him get them off. Fascinated and in the heat of the naughty moment, it never crossed his mind to protest. 

By then Kay was fumbling with Dean's blue jeans, she got them undone and her hand went inside, sliding over his now completely erect penis.

"God." She managed, her voice shaking. Dean could see Jack and Laura clearly, she was now completely naked. Dean had missed the moment when her slacks came off, and distracted by Kay's touching him, he now looked up and saw that Jack had his hand between her legs. 

Her legs splayed wide as Jack buried his face in her loins, her hips pressed upwards against him.

That was fascinating to watch. Dean suddenly saw his wife Laura in a completely new light, she was in heat, driven by passion. She was giving their friend Jack complete access to her naked body.

Dean had seen her like that but just with himself, he would never have dreamed she would ever allow this with someone else.

It now crossed his mind to stop it, there was only one possible outcome if it went on. But he said nothing.

Dean glanced back at Kay, she was now nude also. Unlike his Laura, Kay had no hair at all down there, he was already reasonably sure of it before but now nothing was hidden.

The heat flooded his own body, his hands reached for her with a mind of their own.

Her lips were engorged, swollen, reddish colored from being flushed with blood. She slid up onto his lap, reached down and grasped his erection. 

Tugging the skin back, she exposed the engorged head of his penis. Then lifting upwards, she pressed down firmly. He watched as the head of his erection vanished, she was so wet and slick it was effortless.

That suddenly, Dean was embedded all the way into his best friend's wife's body. There was now no turning back. As she began to lift up and drop, Dean watched as his own wife began to buck as Jack still licked away at her with no mercy.

Kay's pussy was very snug, Dean struggled to hold back but she was having none of that, she was now working him with an urgency.

Dean saw Jack lift up, his cock was quite large, the head bare from having been circumsized. He saw his wife's hand come down and wrap around it, guiding it towards her opening. One hand reached down to spread her own lips as she aligned Jack's erection with the other.

Her face turned his way but he knew she was not seeing him. 

There was that moment just as Jack pressed forward, then they were joined.

Laura's back arched as Jack settled down, Dean knew he was now inside of her. Then thought faded as Kay reached her peak, Dean could actually feel her inner muscles working at him. His climax built and then exploded, there was no holding back.

The spasms were intense, beyond any control. Normally Dean had very good self control, but in this situation he had none at all. It was over in just minutes.

Leaning back gasping for breath, Dean watched as his friend Jack fucked his wife. His strokes were long and forceful, he got a glimpse of the shaft each time Jack pulled back.

Where his own orgasm had come in just a couple of minutes, Jack was dragging it out for much longer.

Kay had a soft grip on his own penis, she squeezed just as Jack finally clearly orgasmed. That caused a second small climax in Dean, a short spurt erupted from his slit. Kay giggled at that.

+++

There were some long and sheepishly silent moments as the two of them lay there gasping. Then Jack lifted himself and pulled out.

Laura got up and went to the bathroom. Jack swung his legs around, sat on the edge of the bed.

Kay still had a solid grasp on Dean's penis, she caught Jack watching that and let go. Suddenly shy, Dean pulled on his own pants. Laura came out of the bathroom still nude. She looked at the three of them and quickly went into the bedroom and pulled on her T-shirt.

"God. I didn't expect....." Dean mumbled.

"I didn't either...that just happened I guess. Are you upset? I don't want this to cause any...?" Jack's voice trailed off.

"That was fun, we are all good friends so it's OK." Kay chimed in.

"Yes, I guess it was." Jack still appeared a little bit sheepish. He reached for his pants, tugged them on. Dean had to look away, Jack's big penis was swinging back and forth as he worked the pants on.

That was something he did not know about Jack, and now the fact that the man was so much larger bothered him.

How long had Jack pounded away at Laura before he climaxed? It had to be a solid 15 minutes and he had just sat there, unable to do or say anything.

Their conversation was stilted after that, not the usual banter. Jack and Kay left for home shortly after.

+++

Dean wanted to talk to Laura, but he couldn't find the words to steer the conversation to the subject.

"Hungry, honey?" She asked him at one point.

"A little." He answered. She brought out a bowl of the left over noodle salad, they ate that in silence.

At one point he glanced up to see her studying him, but she said nothing.

Later, in bed, she reached for him. That was so natural, so normal that Dean felt himself responding. He did notice that her body felt more slick that she usually did, even though she had bathed.

"Are you OK with that, honey?" She asked at one point, giving him the opening he needed to express his feelings.

"Yes, I'm fine." He managed, he was just unable to find the words to express what he was really feeling.. 

"How was Kay? Did it feel good?" Laura pressed him.

"Yes, she was tight and she did something with her....?" Dean managed. He didn't know quite how to say it.

"Her pussy? Yes, Kay works out all the time, maybe I should start doing it." Laura tittered at that.

"So? What did Jack feel like? I saw he is pretty big." Dean felt silly asking that but he did anyway.

"Yea, it was. It hurt a little bit. He was OK I guess." Her tone shifted to defensive.

"It sure didn't look like it hurt any." Dean blurted out.

"Well. I mean..." Laura's voice trailed off.

They both fell quiet.

Sleep was fitful, he woke several times.

The vision of his Laura, the reactions he had seen as she gave Jack access to her body would not leave him.

+++

Sunday was not much better, Dean spent the day watching TV, the news mostly was boring. Later the race came on, for a period there he forgot everything.

Jack and Kay didn't come by, and there was no call. That didn't mean anything really, sometimes they didn't.

Laura kept busy around the house, several times he looked up to see her watching him.

It was nearly evening when she came to curl up at his feet. He reached out and stroked her hair, Laura liked it when he did that.

"Are you upset with me, honey?" She asked him.

"No, not really. I guess I am guilty too." He knew very well what she meant.

"I don't know what happened there, it...it just did." She said.

"I know. I didn't plan on it either."

"Are you sure you aren't upset with me? You have been quiet all day."

"I guess I am upset with myself more than anything." Dean told her.

"Really? I mean...Kay is so beautiful, I thought....?"

"Thought what?" Dean didn't understand.

"Oh, just that you would probably like that, having sex with her I mean, that you would probably want to do it again sometime?"

"I don't know about that. You and I are a couple, being with other people never even crossed my mind."

Laura sat quietly, she didn't say anything.

That night they went to bed, he gave her a quick kiss and rolled over to sleep. Around one in the morning Dean woke up. He could hear Laura in the nearby bathroom. 

It sounded like she was quietly masturbating.

He feigned sleep when she came out and slipped carefully into bed.

+++

Their Wednesday bowling league time arrived. Kay showed up wearing a loose top and no bra, that was not all that abnormal but it brought everything back into Dean's mind.

When it was his turn to throw the ball, it was clear quickly that Dean's mind was elsewhere.

Seeing Jack and Laura earlier talking up by the concession stand didn't help, he saw his wife reach up and flip her hair back, saw her tip her head and laugh at something Jack said. Jack was leaning in close, a big grin on his face.

Then Kay caught his eye and winked, that didn't help either.

He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn after that. His 137-146-122 series was far below his normal 600 series and they lost all four points.

Twice he even missed the 5 pin, one of the easiest shots of all.

"We are still up by one point for the season, it's OK. Everyone has an off night." Jack patted Dean on the back.

Dean fought off a sudden urge to clock Jack for touching him.

"You were sure off tonight." Laura mentioned on the way home. 

Dean didn't need to hear that.

"Happens to everybody." He grunted.

+++

"Are you OK?" Laura asked Dean the following Friday evening as they prepared for bed.

"I'm fine, why?"

"You haven't touched me all week!" She complained.

"Oh. Just off my feed a little bit, I guess." He told her. That was different, normal lovemaking for them was roughly every other night at least, sometimes more.

Plus Jack and Kay hadn't been by or even called, the only time they had seen them was at the rather disastrous bowling league the previous Wednesday.

Laura didn't say anything more, she went into their bathroom. She was in there for nearly a full hour.

Again she slid carefully into bed so as not to wake him. Dean lay there pretending sleep.

+++

When Dean woke up the following Saturday, Laura was gone. He glanced at the clock, it was nearly noon. That was not normal, either.

On their kitchen table he found a note that Laura left, telling him that she and Kay had gone shopping.

Dean fixed himself some sausage and toast, a couple of Eggs. In the living room, he turned on the news. Bored, he decided to give Jack a call.

What had happened a couple of weeks before was not all Jack's fault, not really. Dean knew he had been involved in it himself, there was no reason at all for him to feel this way.

Perhaps if they talked, sorted it all out, things could return to normal.

The phone rang 10 times, there was no answer. Jack always answered, he kept his cell phone in his pocket. There was no voice mail either, that seemed odd too.

Dean called Laura, he wanted to know what time she would be home, it was already nearly 3 PM by now.

Again there was no answer, it just went to voicemail.

Dean sat back down in his chair, frustrated.

Laura and Kay were off shopping, and Jack was not answering his phone?

+++

Just before 5 PM, Dean heard Laura pull into the driveway.

"Where have you been all day?" He asked her, none too nicely.

"I left you a note, we were shopping." Dean saw no packages. She went by, directly into the kitchen.

"I see. What did you buy?" He called out.

"Nothing. Kay bought a new bikini though, you should see it!" She came back in carrying a large glass of water. Dean looked closely, she appeared to have been drinking.

"Are you drunk?" He asked.

"No. Kay and Jack had some Coffee liquor, so I had one with some milk is all."

"Jack? I thought you said you were shopping?" He asked.

"I was! I just dropped her off at her house." She didn't meet his gaze.

"But you were drinking?"

"Yes, just the one. Kay wanted to show Jack her new outfit, it's really skimpy. Then she had me try it on but I don't think I can wear anything like that." Laura sat down in her chair.

Her eyes would not meet his, she seemed flustered.

It was clear to Dean that she had more than just one drink down, she was showing all of the signs he was used to when she got tipsy.

"You wore her bikini in front of Jack?" Dean demanded.

"What are you raising your voice for? It's no big deal, they just wanted to see how it looked, is all."

"You were...like THAT, without me there?" Dean sat up straighter.

"So what? Jack has seen me, hell, there are sure no secrets now so why should that matter?"

"I DOES matter, I wasn't there!" Dean was on his feet now.

"Honey? What's the matter? We didn't do anything." She said, her voice taking on a trace of fear.

"Didn't do anything? Didn't DO anything? You are over there getting drunk prancing around in front of Jack and I wasn't there?" Dean was furious now.

"We didn't do anything!" Laura yelled right back. She jumped up and ran into the bedroom, shut the door. Dean heard the door lock click, that made him even madder.

"I suppose you FUCKED him again?" Dean yelled at her through the door. She didn't answer, all he heard were sobs.

Dean's first instinct was to kick the door off it's hinges but then he would have to fix it.

He turned and walked out the door, jumped into his pickup and peeled off down the street. His plan was to give Jack a piece of his mind, have it out with him.

There was no one home, their car was gone. He realized that Laura must have called them the instant he left. He drove around all over town looking for their car, he never saw it.

Calming down, he went back home. Laura was sitting in her chair, her hands in her lap. She had been crying.

"Look, I am sorry. I just don't want you going over there and doing things like that by yourself, OK?"

"We didn't do anything, Honey. All I did was show him how the outfit looked on me. I didn't think that would matter, not after.....?"

"Not after you guys had sex, right?" Dean's voice raised a bit again.

"You did it too!" She accused him.

"It's not the same thing! If I was there, it might be different but I wasn't, damn it!"

"I don't understand that I guess. But I won't do it again, I'm sorry." She whimpered.

That calmed Dean down some, he went and sat in his chair, clicked on the TV. Laura went into the kitchen and fixed dinner, they ate in silence.

Later, they lay in bed. Laura reached over and stroked his chest, one of her signals.

"Kay told me that I was lucky, she said you were really good." She whispered in his ear.

"Kay said that?"

"Uh huh. But I already know of course." She purred.

Dean couldn't help it, that comment made him feel good. He felt his body respond, he rolled over and entered her.

Laura felt so soft, so slick inside. At first he didn't realize, then he did. He felt himself go limp.

"What's wrong, honey?" She asked.

"You never told me what it was like with Jack." He asked.

"With Jack? Why would you want to know that?" 

"I just do." He told her.

"He was...it hurt some and I didn't like it all that much." She said. Dean knew very well she was lying. He had sat there and watched it.

Plus she was also lying about what had happened over there earlier.

Just like had happened to him when he was a boy.

Dean rolled over and curled up, ignoring her attempts at talking to him. Finally she gave up and went to sleep.

+++

Jack's truck was parked in front of the Spar Tree tavern, he usually was there on Friday afternoons right after work. Dean pulled in and parked right behind him.

"Dean! Hey, come on over, let me buy you a beer." Jack called out when he walked in. Dean went over and sat down.

He took a sip of his beer as soon as it arrived, the frosty beverage tasted good.

"So, how was it with Laura when she was over the other day?" He asked Jack.

"Oh, you know about that, huh? One of these days you need to get Kay and the little woman together, that's a kick!" He grinned at Dean.

"You wouldn't mind that?" Dean asked.

"Naw. It's your turn next. Kay is a nice little fuck but for some reason Laura just yanks my...."

Dean hit him with the half full beer bottle as hard as he could, Jack went over the back of his bar stool, out cold before he hit the floor.

The place went stone silent, Dean got up and walked out. He got into his truck, the fuel gauge was full. In the bed cover was his suitcase, some other personal belongings.

In his pockets was all of the cash they had in the bank. He knew there were enough left in some Mutual funds to pay off the house, barely.

After that, who knows how she would get by?

Dean didn't give a shit. He already knew what Laura had done, and then she had lied to him about it.

Dean just could not stand for lies.

He pulled out onto the street, followed it out of town to the main highway. He sat there for quite some time, then someone behind him blew their horn. Turning on his signal, he went to the right.

When the freeway opened up, he picked the speed up to a steady 70 miles per hour. He had no idea at all where he was going, it didn't matter.

What he was sure of was that he could not stay here.

+++

Leaving work early in the day did get him some funny looks, but no one said anything. It hadn't taken all that long to make the withdrawals, he had called and set that up several days before so they had the cash ready.

The bank manager had tried very hard to explain about potential investments but he had declined.

+++

Kay had looked surprised when he knocked on the door earlier that afternoon, then she had grinned. That had been something else, Dean was like an animal with her.

She was a part of it. In his mind, she had it coming.

Within five minutes of walking into their house he had her naked and down on the carpet. He didn't even go soft after the first time, so he simply pounded her again. Then he rolled her over and did her up the butt, too.

At first when she realized what he was going to do, she struggled, but Dean was far too strong.

"Nobody ever...." She had managed to gasp out, then she let out a groan as he stuffed her furiously from behind. She had bled a little bit with that, but she also was no longer protesting.

Nearly an hour without stopping, he took her over and over almost in a rage.

"Damn, you are something else! I never felt anything like that before!" She said, looking up at him as he stood over her, still hard. Her eyes had a glassy look.

Now, by God, she really DID have something to tell Jack.

Then he had dressed and left her there, lying on their carpet. He had started laughing as he climbed into his truck, their carpet was beige and no way would those stains ever come out.

And those stains were smack dab in front of the chair he happened to know was Jack's. Dean giggled, almost insanely at that thought.

His vision blurred, he had to reach up and wipe his eyes to see.

"It's not the same thing." He muttered.

+++

The freeway opened up to three lanes. He kicked the speed up to 80 miles per hour, slipping by vehicle after vehicle.

"It's not the same thing." He was mumbling to himself over and over.
