Gary and Roxy

"So how long have you and Bernie been together?" Roxy asked as they made their way into the kitchen.

"Man..probably been around half a year now," Gary said, trying to think of just how long it had been.

"And you've experimented with swinging before?" Roxy inquired, opening the refrigerator.

"Well, not exactly.." Gary's answer trailed off as he noticed Roxy had bent over to look deeper into the 'frige, her perfect ass on full display.

"So you've watched each other with other people?" She continued, face still inside looking.

"Um..yeah..mostly her watching me with other girls..and guys," he confessed, his eyes glued to Roxy's butt.

"Oh really?" Her tone turned intrigued, causing her to look out of the refrigerator, catching him in the act. Her face instantly turned into a sultry smirk. "See something you like, honey?"

Gary cleared his throat. "Sorry. I didn't mean to stare..."

"Gary, I'd be offended if you weren't looking. I take a lot of pride in my booty." She gave it a little slap, the flesh jiggling, but also demonstrating a solid thickness. "Besides, people regularly have sex here. Checking somebody out is far from inappropriate." She turned back to the refrigerator then took out a six-pack of beer. "So you like guys? That's really interesting. Sam's got a bit of a bi streak too. I'm sure he'd love to hook up if you were interested."

"Really? Well..that's good to know," Gary said, still getting used to how open Roxy was.

"Aw, there's no need to be shy here, Gary," she assured him. "There's no judgments." She turned so she was leaning against the stove, facing Gary. "So has Bernie done anything like this before?"

"Not really..and usually only with other women," Gary explained. "Mark's the first guy I've known her to really show interest in in a long time."

She chuckled fondly. "Mark's definitely got a strong "sensitive hunk" vibe going for him. Plus he genuinely is a nice guy. Don't tell him I said that, last thing we need is for him to get an ego."

Gary laughed, feeling more at ease. "Honestly..I'm glad Bernie likes him. I..I haven't always been the best boyfriend," he confessed. "she deserves more than she gets."

Roxy glanced around, sensing Gary was talking about something fairly private and wanted to make sure nobody was nearby to catch anything.

"You clearly love her. I don't need to have known you long to see that much. Just how the two of you interact is enough to show that's true," Roxy observed.

Gary frowned. "I do..I just..."

Roxy sensed he was **** to speak, but at the same wanted to confide in someone. She started talking. "I dated a guy a couple years ago. Total sweetheart. I was head over in heels in love with him, least I thought so. He was kind, funny, handsome, listened to my bullshit, and was there for me when I needed him. Basically the kind of guy you'd be proud to bring home to momma." She was quiet for a moment. "..Of course none of that stopped me from cheating on him."

Gary listened intently.

"I've always been..let's say lusty. Now our sex life was good. I really had no complaints. Our relationship wasn't going bad at all, so I had no "he drove me away" bullshit excuse. Fact of the matter was I liked sex, and liked having it with a variety of people. I've learned every experience is different, and it's those diverse experiences I loved the most about having sex with other people. I'd see a cute guy that just sent shivers down my spine and I just had to know what it'd be like. I still loved my guy, but..he was traditional. Wanted a wife, kids, a nice healthy monogamous relationship. He deserved that..but I couldn't give it to him." She sighed. "So I broke up with him. I told him why. Told him it wasn't his fault at all. I told him he needed to find someone who would love him the way he wanted to be loved." She sighed before continuing. "It was hard, but for the best. It was selfish of me to stay with him if I couldn't love him how he wanted to be loved. Now I know people who are together, married or otherwise, who are swingers and have had perfectly healthy, loving relationships. It's more than possible. Key is to be completely honest with each other. You got to know you're on the same page, ya know?"

Gary was quiet. It all sounded very familiar.
