"Great"

"How are you doing?" She asked. I think she could tell I was still processing this and maybe struggling a bit.

"Great," I said. I smiled at her but I think she could tell it wasn't the most genuine smile. "You were... amazing." Another nervous laugh escaped my lips. "God, you are so fucking sexy."

Rene smiled. She reached out and gently brushed my arm.

"You were pretty great yourself."

"I was just holding on for dear life. Sometimes literally."

Rene laughed. "You're very charming, you know that?"

"I try," I said, somewhat sheepishly. I grabbed my shirt and went to put it on but Rene cut me off. She placed her hand on my chest then stepped in close to me.

"I'm serious," She said. She took my left hand and placed it on her breast. I happily caressed it while she leaned in and kissed me. "You're very sexy."

Fuck. It usually takes me a while to recover for a second round but I could have jumped her right then and there. I looked into her sexy, blue eyes. My right hand drifted to her ass, squeezing hard then pulling her tight to my body. I could tell she could feel that I was hard again. Slowly our lips drifted closer together, then-

We heard the door open upstairs and footsteps shuffling in the hallway.

Rene winked at me then grabbed her clothes and disappeared into the bathroom once again.

When our bedroom door opened I was relieved to hear the sounds of people shuffling around, meaning Scott and Rene were also finished.

It was only maybe 15 feet from our bedroom door to the stairs then one flight of stairs to the foyer then maybe another ten feet to the living room but, in that short amount of time, about a hundred thoughts raced through my head. Everything had been great and gone great, at least for me in the bedroom with Billy.

But did Scott enjoy himself with Rene? It would be selfish of me to want him to be disappointed but it was also hard to get excited about him having sex with someone else, someone who was undeniably beautiful and sexy, who might be able to do things that I don't do for him.

But what if he was disappointed? What if he regretted going through with this? Would he be mad that I enjoyed it?

Or what if he didn't go through with it and only I had been the one to betray our marriage?

I paused for a moment when we got to the bottom of the steps and looked at Billy who returned a reassuring smile. He placed his hand on my lower back and guided me into the living room where Scott was waiting, dressed, sitting on the couch.

We made eye contact as we entered the room and immediately a number of questions were answered. I could tell from his sheepish look that he had sex with Rene, and that he definitely enjoyed it.

"Rene is in the bathroom," he said. Billy took a seat on the couch and I instinctively sat beside Scott. I took his hand in mine and we exchanged a knowing smile.

"So..." Billy said, cracking a bit of the tension.

"It was, um, great!" Scott responded. I could tell he meant it but he couldn't hide the awkwardness of telling another man that he enjoyed having sex with his wife. We both smiled at each other again. I knew we both meant love with our smiles but there still felt like there was something performative to them. Like we had to do it to assure each other that everything was OK even though we both knew everything would be OK. There was a moment of silence until the bathroom door opened.

"I'll second that," Rene said, entering the room. I did my best to hide the bit of jealousy that shot through me as she walked through the room and sat next to Billy.

"I think it's safe to say that we enjoyed ourselves as well," Billy said, looking at me.

I smiled nervously, took a glance down at the ground, then nodded my head. "Yea," I said with a nervous laugh. I looked at Scott then looked back at Billy. "It was great."

"Well it seems like we all enjoyed ourselves then," Rene said.

"I know this is all probably still very overwhelming," Billy said. "And I don't want to put too much on you guys and make it too awkward. I think it's probably best if Rene and I head out and let you two be together."

"Umm, yea, OK," I stammered a bit. "Let me get your coats."

In a moment Billy and Rene had their coats on and were standing at the front door.

"I'm glad you invited us over this evening," Billy said. Scott and I laughed, the nervous energy starting to bubble over.

"We should do it again sometime," Rene said. She looked directly at Scott when she said it. I looked at Scott then back at Rene then over to Billy who was smiling at me.

"Dessert at least," Billy said. We all laughed again.

"Those pastries were to die for," Rene said. "You'll have to teach me how to make them."

"And if you keep buying that bourbon, I'm going to keep coming around to drink it."

"Sounds good," Scott said.

"We really did have a great time," Billy said with a smile.

Scott and I looked at each other then back at our guests.

"Us to," we said, waving as they made their way to their car. We watched as they pulled out then closed and locked the door. I turned to Scott and took a deep breath.

"So..."
