Sit with the gang

"Hey, girl!" Mia basically shouted as we approached their table. They were three across on each side but Mia was already getting a waiter to bring them two chairs for the ends.

"Are you sure?" Scott asked. "We don't want to crowd everyone."

"No, come on and sit down," Ariel encouraged. "We just ordered appetizers and drinks."

I looked at Scott who smiled.

"Ok," I said. The table cheered as Scott and I sat down. Mia shifted so I could sit next to her in the booth. Madeline moved to one head of the table and Scott sat at the other. In no time we had drinks and food.

It was a blast. We drank and ate and learned a lot about each other.

Ariel and Robert were 24 and 25 respectively and were celebrating their one year anniversary. They were high school sweethearts who went to the same college. Robert proposed to Ariel on the day of her graduation. They lived in New Jersey. Ariel was a teacher and Robert worked for an insurance company. Everybody ooh-ed and awww-ed through their tale.

Madeline and Eric were also there for their anniversary, though there's was their fifth. Madeline was 31 and Eric was 33. They met through mutual friends at the Manhattan bar Eric owned. Madeline worked for a fashion designer and the two of them lived in New Jersey. They teased Ariel and Robert for living in "South Jersey" which apparently had some silly rivalry with "North Jersey", where they lived.

Finally, Mia and Glenn had been dating for six months. They met on a dating app and Mia said she fell instantly in love - that she was certain that Glenn was her soulmate. Mia was 26 and Glenn was 42. Glenn had grown up in a small town in Florida. They lived together in Arkansas.

We were having so much fun that, after the table was cleared of our entrees, we got another round of drinks - some went with coffee, some went with another alcoholic beverage. A few of the girls started ordering desserts and eventually Glenn ordered one of all the desserts and we all took a spoonful or two of the delicious cakes and pies that came.

"So..." Mia piped up as we all dug into the treats. "Should we tell them what we were talking about before they showed up?"

Suddenly the table became quiet and everyone began looking back and forth among themselves. I looked at Scott, wondering what was going on.

"OK, fine," Mia eventually said. "I guess I'll do it."

I looked around to see everyone's expressions grow nervous. Mia took a sip of wine.

"Glenn and I were sitting at this table, then we saw Ariel and Robert, so we asked them to join us. Then Madeline and Eric came and we waved them over." She looked around, her natural confidence giving way to surprising hesitance. "We sort of... started talking about how you and Scott had, you know, swapped."

She emphasized the last word with air quotes. I looked at Scott who seemed much calmer than I was.

"And... well... we all started to talk about how we think we would enjoy it."

I couldn't believe my ears.

"But, like, we don't really know how to... well... do it?"

There was a moment of silence where everyone seemed to expect us to say something, though I wasn't entirely sure what.

"It's not that hard," Scott said. "You just sort of... do it." He shrugged and everybody laughed. The tension at the table seemed to be cut a bit.

"Yea, but, how do you initiate it?" Eric asked. I couldn't help but notice his wife sitting next to him staring a hole through my husband.

"Well, we haven't really initiated it," Scott answered. "So I'm not experienced in knowing when someone wants to do it and asking. But you guys want to do it, so I don't know if there's much that needs to be initiated."

"Yea, but we can't all just swap together," Robert said.

"Why not?" Scott answered. The table fell silent again. I couldn't believe how comfortable he was discussing this so unexpectedly. I hadn't even noticed my hand was on his knee, gripping the hem of his shorts.

"What do you mean?" Robert followed up.

"I mean, why couldn't we all swap together. There's got to be a way if that's what everyone wants. Is that what everyone wants?"

"You mean like an orgy?" Mia asked.

"Well, no," Scott answered. "Like a guy swaps with a girl at the table. Is that what you want?"

I looked over the table and everyone, slowly but surely, began nodding their heads.

Holy shit. It was a huge deal telling them that Scott and I had swapped with another couple and now, just a few hours later, they were telling us that they all wanted to swap together?

"Let's think this out then," Scott said. I could see the wheels turning in his head and it turned me on. "Well, we could do something set - like each guy swaps with the girl to their left or right or across from them."

Everyone looked around the table, eyeing up who their potential partner would be in each situation.

To my left was Robert - young, goofy, and very good looking. He was a genuinely nice guy and fun to hang out with. He was a bit more bulky than I normally preferred but this was about trying new things right? And I wouldn't mind trying out that cock of his.

To my right was Glenn - salt and pepper features would make me think he was normally a bit old for my taste but those salt and pepper features were very easy on the eyes. It was hard to not think about his surfer body climbing on top of me. Not overly muscular, but toned in all the right places. There's something about a guy in great shape at that age that added a layer of sexiness.

Across the table, next to his knockout red-haired wife, was Eric - jet black hair, in great physical shape, and handsome didn't even begin to describe him. He looked like he belonged on the cover of a romance novel. He could be a Disney prince, saving the princess with the beautiful voice from an evil witch, though this tale would end with more than just "True Love's kiss". Each man had something intriguing going for them but my eyes kept drifting back to Eric.

"But I think making it random would be best," Scott finished his thought.

"I like that idea," Mia said. The rest of the table nodded in agreement. There seemed to be a combination of eagerness and nervousness among the crowd - plenty of fidgety hands and nervous sips. "I know what I'm rooting for. Ariel and Eric! They could make the most pornographic Disney movie ever."

We all laughed. Ariel rolled her eyes but Eric looked like he was definitely game. And how could he not be? She was a perfect little Disney Princess - long, red hair, adorableness oozing from every freckle on her face, and a long, slender body. Scott was usually into girls that were more "shapely" but there was a reason he kept checking her out.

"OK," Scott said. God, I couldn't help but think how sexy it was that he had seemingly taken control of the situation. "Let's think this out. What if the girls went back to their rooms and the guys put their keycards in a hat and we drew them at random. Whosever key you get, that's who you'll swap with."

"I like that," Eric said pointedly.

"But how will we know who's key is for what room?" Glenn asked.

"That's a great question," Scott said. We all laughed at the idea of each guy going door to door trying to figure out which room key they got. "We could write our room numbers on our key."

"I'll get a marker!" Robert practically jumped out of his seat and ran to the hostess. He came back with a Sharpee and a grin that would have made you think he had cured cancer.

"I have an idea," Eric said. "We know what room everyone is in, so when we draw our cards, we'll know immediately who we are going to end up with. What if we gave it a little more mystery. What if the women picked cards too? This way, we will have as much suspense opening the door as the women."

"Sounds fun to me," Scott answered.

"Let's do it," Mia agreed. Everyone loved the idea. The pen was quickly passed around from woman to woman as we scribbled our room numbers on our keycards. Glenn offered his bucket hat for the draw.

"Mandy, you should do the honors," Mia said, handing me the hat. Just before I was about to reach in and grab a card, Scott grabbed my hand.

"Wait," he said. He was staring at Dora and Manny who were standing up at their table. Dora was gathering her purse and shawl as they looked ready to leave. "What do you guys think about adding another couple?"

Everyone's eyes followed Scott's. The men's eyes widened as they noticed Dora stuffed into a skin-tight brown cocktail dress. Her breasts practically spilled from the neckline. Her ass stretched the fabric of her dress to the fullest. And God, what I would do to have her thighs.

Meanwhile the women were eyeing up Manny who had dressed in a button down Hawaiian shirt with a few extra buttons undone. Tufts of brown hair spilled out the top. Mia gave me a side-eyed look and winked at me.

"I'll take that as a 'yes' then," Scott said. He got up and walked over to Dora and Manny. He pointed our way and a few of us greeted them with waves and smiles of which they returned, then Scott made his way back to our table. Manny and Dora followed.

"Guys, this is Manny and Dora," Scott said to the table. He pointed around to each of us. "This is Ariel, Robert, Eric, Madeline, Glenn, Mia and... well, you already know Mandy." I smiled and waved. Dora gave me a wink. Scott quickly explained the rules and both Dora and Manny laughed.

"Wow," Dora said, shaking her head. "You guys are having a key party?" Everyone looked around confused.

"You guys are going from zero to one hundred," Manny said. He pulled out his card. Robert passed them the marker and Dora wrote her room number on it and added it to the hat.

"OK, then," Mia said. She looked around the table. "Let's do this." She nodded toward me.

"Wait!" Robert jumped in.

Jesus, what now?

"Oh come on!" Mia exclaimed, voicing everybody's frustration.

"When is the game over?" Robert asked. "Do we spend the night?" Everyone looked around the table, seemingly uneasy with the idea of spending an entire night with another person's partner. Dora finally spoke up.

"It's about 11:30. Why don't we say that everyone has to be wrapped up by 1am?" She suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea," Scott agreed. "At 1am, the girls will go back to their rooms and the guys will meet at the bar. Once all the guys are at the bar, we'll head back to our rooms. Does that work for everyone?"

Everyone slowly nodded their heads.

"OK, then let's do this thing already!" Mia shouted.

I grabbed the hat and gave it a shake, reached in, shuffled the cards around then pulled one out. I pressed it to my chest, hiding it from everyone, then pulled just enough of it away to take a peak at the number written on it in black Sharpee.
