Sam and Lil

Samuel led Lil onto the back-porch, which indeed had a beautiful view of the beach with the ocean flowing up to the shore.

"Wow, you weren't kidding!" Lil exclaimed in awe.

"I never get tired of it," Sam said honestly. He turned to the young woman. "So this is your first time at a shindig like this." It wasn't a question.

She sighed. "Yeah. I admit I wasn't totally sure at first, but I've really needed to get out, plus you guys all seem really nice."

"Well I just met Patrick and Felipe, but I can promise you we're good people. Plus Carmen wouldn't invite anybody she didn't trust. Plus Peg and Roxy run a tight ship, they'd beat the ass of anybody acting like an asshole," he assured her.

Lil chuckled, a tone of relief in it. "I believe it." She looked at him with a bit of a sly smile. "You and Peggy been doing this awhile? At least i assume from the way she was enjoying Felipe's attention."

Sam smiled back, showing no apprehension whatsoever. "Yep. Met her through swinging friends. learned a long time ago you don't need to be exclusive to somebody physically. This," he said, patting his heart once, "is Peggy's, completely. She'd tell you the same thing about me. Sex is a way for us to have fun, to show off for each other, a gift we give each other, but it doesn't define our love at all. That's a whole, deeper thing." He paused and looked over at Lil, who had been listening intently. "Whoops, sorry. Didn't mean to give some philosophical speech."

"Not at all," she assured. "I think you made some real sense. Definitely something to think about."

"Oh? Well then I'm pleased to be of service," he said with a smile.

Lil suddenly smirked. "Did you bring me out here to seduce me by any chance?"

Sam laughed, not a mocking laugh, but a warm one. "It wasn't my first intention, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about it."

She stepped closer to him. "Well..I wouldn't say "no."

"Good to know," he said. He bent down to kiss her when the soft sounds of moaning could be heard.

"You hear that?" Lil asked.

"Yeah, sounds like it's coming from.." Sam listened carefully. "Over there." he pointed to a window to one of the first floor rooms of Roxy and Mark's house.

"Sounds like somebody started having fun," Lil observed, a little tint of arousal to her voice.

"You wanna go see?" Sam teased.

"I..I don't..." she said, unsure, but the idea was tempting. Then again, part of her wanted to have some fun with Sam.
