Adultery A Swinging Odyssey by Pimanko-Completed

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"No kidding," Aiko said good-naturedly. Her face was flushed.

"You seem to like to hear the details even though it embarrasses you to hear them, Aiko," Emma observed laughing.

Aiko flushed again.

"You got that right," said Gerald as everyone else joined in the laughter.

"The next thing I remember," Emma continued, "Bill was pushing my thighs apart. He wanted me to open my legs more. I did. He took it for it was, an invitation to invade my body with his. He was so eager but he didn't rush it. He put his cock at my entrance and moved oh so slowly inside, sometimes stopping and retracting. I could feel the folds of my pussy wrap around his cock just as my legs wrapped around his waist. I was already so worked up. He made it worse by teasing me, withdrawing is cock until only its tip was in my whole. Then he plunged right back in again."

"And what about you, Norman?" Gerald asked.

"What can I say," said Norman. "Wei-ling is a very sexy woman. The lust in her eyes told me everything I needed to know. I could even smell her excitement. She was soaking wet even before I started stroking her pussy. The thought of having hot sex with my best friend's hot wife was almost too much for me. If I had any doubts, and I didn't," he laughed, "Wei-ling made sure I had no chance to change my mind! She grabbed my cock and cupped my balls. I thought I couldn't get harder but it sure felt like I did!"

"He's probably starting to get a hard-on just talking about it!" Emma laughed, whispering to her tablemates. "My old man is making himself horny."

"Touché," Norman said obviously embarrassed.

"This is not the time to be touched," she whispered to her husband. Emma obviously understood the literal meaning of the French word.

Norman's embarrassment deepened but he smiled good-naturedly.

"So what happened?" asked Gerald. "Are we getting to story's climax?"

Aiko poked her husband in the rib for his corny joke, smiling. "Gerald! Don't be so rude."

"You bet," Emma affirmed. "I opened my legs wider. I told Bill to stop teasing me and just do me. He charged right in, mounted me in one thrust, ramming me as if he were trying to bust down the castle doors. I loved it."

Her tablemates laughed at her vivid imagery.

"Now you know why I own a house and not a castle," Norman said dryly.

Everyone laughed.

"Wei-ling wasn't much slower," Norman said. "She grabbed my condom-covered cock, pointed it toward her entrance and sat down on my rod. Oh, what a wonderful feeling it was to have Wei-ling's sweet bun wrapped around my spicy sausage! I was so worked up I could barely hold back. I tried to warn her."

"I was ready and I told him to go for it," Wei-ling interjected.

"Once she said that, it was too much for me," Norman confirmed. "I lost all restraint. I think I had the biggest cum of my life that evening."

"What happened after that?" Gerald asked.

"We talked it out," Emma replied. "We agreed to take our friendship to a new level through shared sexual intimacy. We became close friends with terrific benefits."

"And what happened after that," Gerald asked.

"After a little rest, we made out again that evening," Bill said. "Sharing spouses seemed to have given us the energy for a second round much sooner than would normally have been the case."

"And when did you stop using condoms," Gerald asked.

"After that first night, the four of us had a frank talk," Wei-ling said. "We knew we were clean. We believed Emma and Norman when they told us they had never fooled around outside their marriage until they swung with us. We agreed safes weren't necessary as long as it was just us four us."

After Aiko and Gerald told their adventure during desert and coffee.

Finally, Bill noted that it was time to let the staff prepare the table for the second sitting. "Let's change into something more comfortable first, then continue our party in our stateroom. Say, in an hour?" he suggested.

Everyone agreed.

An hour later the three couples were back in Bill and Wei-ling's stateroom. In anticipation of the party, Aiko and Bill dressed down to t-shirts and shorts.

Aiko put her bra in the drawer. "I don't need this," she mumbled to herself.

"I don't think you need the underwear either," Gerald suggested.

Aiko looked sharply at her husband. "I don't want to take any chances that the stewards might see what they shouldn't. Are you trying to make it hard for them to do their jobs?" she asked.

Gerald laughed. "No, I'm just trying to make it hard for them."

It took a few moments before it dawned on Aiko what he was insinuating. He was playing with words, a double entendre.

She flushed in exasperation. "Oh you!"

"One flash is all it would take!" he laughed again.

When they arrived at their friends' stateroom, they saw that Emma and Norman were dressed to maintain a minimum level of decency. Wei-ling and Bill were wearing bathrobes."

"We didn't see the point in dressing only to undress again," Bill said shrugging his shoulders.

Norman approached Aiko, his eager, hungry look did little to hide what was on his mind. His attraction for the Japanese woman was obvious

"Aiko? Please, may we?" he asked, offering her his hand, his voice already husky with lust.

"Yes, let's," Aiko agreed. Her curiosity and nascent desire to find out what this big hairy man was like had already begun to overcome her earlier natural reserve.

Aiko and Norman took one of the beds. Sitting on it, they kissed, making no move as yet to remove their clothing.

Bill, meanwhile, took Emma into his arms, directing her toward the sofa. He had already removed his bathrobe. They were kissing, at first lightly and then with increasing passion. Bill's cock was erect. Emma had her hand on it. Bill was obviously making an offer Emma didn't refuse.

The sexy sextet's party was well underway.

* * *

Having briefly watched where the others were and what they were doing, Gerald turned to Wei-ling. "Shall we?" Gerald asked offering her his hand.

She took it with a big smile on her face. "Oh, I so want this, Gerald."

"So do I," he husked.

Gerald's throat was dry in anticipation of taking this beautiful woman in his arms for the first time.

"Let's go over there," he suggested point to the second, unoccupied bed.

They crossed the room to occupy their chosen spot. Gerald was no longer interested in what the other two couples were doing. Wei-ling was his focus. He relished the thought of exploring every part of her with his eyes, hands, mouth, body and finally his cock.

"Let me take your bathrobe off," Gerald said to Wei-ling.

"Okay," she smiled.

Wei-ling was eager. She yearned for his tight embrace, to feel his manly body press against her own curvy figure. She wanted to crush her breasts against his chest, and feel the hardness of his manhood against her belly.

Gerald unloosed the cord on Wei-ling's bathrobe. But he didn't remove it, at least not right away. He left it hanging loosely on her shoulders. It partially covered her breasts, allowing him to gaze in admiration at what was exposed, the slopes of her soft breasts, the valley between them, her smooth belly, and the black-haired triangle between her legs. Gerald saw only sweet delights.

Gerald decided to tease Wei-ling by savouring each touch of her body one part at a time. He slipped his arms inside her bathrobe. He put his hands on her waist and used them to follow the curve of her full, womanly hips. He just loved those hips. They were unusually wide for an Asian woman. They gave Wei-ling a sexually enticing allure that appealed to something deep in Gerald's sexual psyche.

After stroking her hips for a few moments, Gerald reached around her hips for her bottom cheeks. The motion caused the bathrobe to open wider, revealing more of her body to his sight. It also brought Gerald's body much closer to, but not quite touching, her.

Gerald saw the look of anticipation in Wei-ling's eyes. They told him she was aching for the touch of his body against hers. With his hands still on her ample ass, he pulled her in. Their bodies made contact as they wrapped their arms around each other. They kissed, at first with lips only, and then with their tongues too.

"Take off your clothes," she whispered breathlessly. "I want to feel your naked warmth against me."

Gerald stepped back for a moment, removed his t-shirt, his shorts and lastly his undershorts. Wei-ling could see he already had a partial erection.

Gerald walked back into her embrace to kiss her some more. While both his arms were holding onto Wei-ling, one of her hands slipped between them. As soon as she put her hand around the circumference of his penis, it inflated more quickly. It took only seconds of her touch to bring him to a full, rock-hard erection.

Wei-ling traced the ridges of his cock with the tips of her fingers, then grasped fully into her hand, stroking it almost tenderly. Occasionally, she let go of it to cup his balls, rolling them gently in her hand.

Gerald shivered at her touch. He let out a groan, He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feel of her fingers stoking up and down his cock. He enjoyed her initiative. It left no doubt in his mind that she was sexually attracted to him.

As Gerald enjoyed her fondling, he stopped stroking Wei-ling's ass, but only for a moment, as another shiver of pleasure shook his body.

Gerald smiled. Wei-ling had upset his plan to tease her. Instead, she was teasing him! As much as enjoyed the warm, soft feel of her hand, he realized he risked climbing toward his peak too quickly. He had to regain the initiative in the erotic battle they had just begun. Wei-ling won the first skirmish.

As if he were waking up from a trance, Gerald's hands resumed their wandering underneath her bathrobe. He just could not get enough of her ass and hips. Meanwhile, when he was not kissing her, his mouth, his lips and his tongue to taste and touch her neck and ears.

The two lovers engaged in a sensual battle.

Gerald got down on his knees, forcing her to release her hold on his stiff member. He wrapped his arms around her hips and ass. He hugged her. He wanted to feel the sensuality of lower body against his chest, his hands travelling around her hips and buttocks. Sometimes he put one of his arms between her legs so that he could squeeze and massage her ass-cheek with both hands. His arm brushed against her pussy. His lips travelled across her belly.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

Wei-ling moaned. The desire to give herself to this man grew stronger. The hunger to take all he had to offer intensified. Her pussy became wetter and her nipples harder with each and every touch of his hands and mouth as they explored whatever parts of her body they could reach.

"Oh, oh, it feels so good," she groaned.

Gerald stood up. Weil-ling grabbed his stiff cock again while he wrapped his arms around her back. Her hand was back on his trigger. His hands and arms flowed up and down her back for several moments before returning to her ample ass-cheeks.

Wei-ling's stroking of his male organ threatened Gerald's ability to control himself. He pressed her tightly against him, forcing her to release his cock. She put both her arms around his waist. Gerald thrilled at the feel of her soft luscious body against his. Although Wei-ling thrilled at the touch of his hard masculine body against her soft feminine one, she searched for the stiff member that had just escaped her grasp. She felt it against her body but every time she tried to put her hand on it, Gerald pulled her in more tightly to prevent her from carrying out her intention.

After a few moments, Gerald finally broke his embrace. He stood back. He turned her around so that he was now behind her. She looked questioningly at him.

"I know what you like," Gerald told his lover. "I like your sexual aggressiveness, but I don't want you to make me cum until you're ready too."

He pressed his male hardness against her erotically shaped ass. His cock twitched on contact with it.

Still standing behind her, Gerald reached around for Wei-ling's breasts. He cupped, fondled them. He worked his fingers around and over them. He enjoyed the softness of her mammary glands and the hardness of her nipples. He was glad she was still wearing her bathrobe. It reduced the sensuousness of his cock's contact against her and allowed him to focus on stoking Wei-ling's fire.

Wei-ling wanted to be in his embrace again, to hold onto his cock, but she also enjoyed what he was doing to her. She closed her eyes and sighed. She let him take the initiative for a while. Gerald had won the second round in their lusty war of the teases.

After stroking her breasts for a while, Gerald's hands wandered down the front of her body. Wei-ling felt their gentle strength as they moved slowly toward her furry patch. Gerald took his time to make sure no spot was left untouched.

Wei-ling became hot with anticipation as his skilful hands stroked the valleys where her thighs joined to her pelvis. She pushed back her bottom backwards, pressed her beautiful buttocks against Gerald's hard cock. His cocked jerked at her lewd contact. She caught Gerald off-guard. Her rearguard action gave her the win in the third round of the war of teases.

Gerald smiled. Although Wei-ling was a relatively quiet person in public, she was clearly no wallflower in matters of sex. She made it obvious what she wanted. Her hand had been on his tubular projection. Now her soft, curvaceous ass was pressing against it.

Gerald held back. 'Thank god,' for the bathrobe,' he thought, 'otherwise, I may have already almost control.

Their sexual battle was fully joined. There was a time and a place for what Wei-ling wanted. The place was already known but, as far as Gerald was concerned, the time wasn't quite right yet.

Gerald trailed his fingers upward across her belly back up towards her breasts again. Suddenly he stopped. He turned her around to face him. This time, Wei-ling made no attempt to reach for his cock.

Gerald's hands stroked her breasts again but only for a few moments. He pressed his mouth on a nipple, sucked on it as if he were trying to bring her whole breast deeper into his mouth. He switched to the other breast, giving it the same treatment. He went back and forth from one breast to the other for several minutes. It helped to reduce the tension in his stiff member.

Wei-ling sighed, "Oh yes, lover. Keep going. Don't stop. I love to have them sucked. I love what you're doing to me."

Her confession meant Gerald won the fourth round of their war of the teases.

Gerald stopped after a while. His hands worked their way upward toward the tops of her shoulders. With one deft movement, he lifted the bathrobe off her shoulders, letting them dbang on his hands, and then let it drop to the floor behind her. He had seen this woman in all her naked glory only two days ago. But this time she was directly in front of his eyes, and his to enjoy!

Gerald nodded toward the bed. "Lie down on your side facing me," Gerald said. "I'm not done exploring you."

Wei-ling lay on her right side, propping her head up with her elbow, eager to see what he would do next.

At first, Gerald faced her in the same position. He used his free hand to travel up and down the side of her body, relishing each contour of her body. His mind kept coming back to her hips. Their erotic allure fascinated him. He kept returning to them; they were so enticing.

Still facing her, Gerald sat, shifting position so he could get a much closer look at her lower body. He wrapped his arms around her fully accessible left thigh. She obligingly lifted it to allow him to wrap his arms around them. Gerald hugged, stroked and kissed it, occasionally brushing her cleft with his fingers, making sure they travelled through every available fold and crack.

Gerald then he stroked the inner part of the other thigh, again enjoying the feel of her soft, velvety skin, then teasing her moistening pussy. He pushed Wei-ling down on her back. He wanted to enjoy this thigh in the same way as he had the other. He wrapped his arms around, hugged, kissed and stroked it.

While he was paying attention to her thighs, he threw glances at the treasure between her legs. His mouth watered in eager anticipation of enjoying her glorious femaleness.

Wei-ling moaned and sighed, enjoying his unusual erotic appreciation of her hips and thighs. Gerald's acute attention to them had a singularly unique erotic quality of its own. Wei-ling had never experienced something quite like this before. His ardour and admiration turned her on, made her excited.

She wondered what he would do next. She soon had her answer. His hand, still on her thigh, slid toward her hair-covered pussy, once more explore every fold and crack with as much skill and patience he had sown with her other thigh. He didn't believe in discriminating a woman's legs.

Gerald's hand went passed her vulva. He stroked her perineum. With the tip of his finger, he diddled her asshole. Gerald could tell she liked what he did. His skilful manipulation of every sensuous part of her lower body was too much for her to take. She grabbed his sock, stroked it. She trembled in anticipation of feeling his tubular muscle deep inside her.

Gerald sensed her readiness. His nose took in the sweet wet scent of her sexual excitement. He put his mouth on her pussy. For a while, he licked her labia and sucked her tiny, erect clitoral nub.

"You are so good," Wei-ling moaned. "Please let me suck your cock."

"Yeah," Gerald croaked. "Let's get into the 69-position."

Wei-ling flopped onto her back while Gerald got on his hands and knees above her. He lowered himself so that he could put his mouth on her wet pussy. His hard-on neared Wei-ling's face. She grabbed it and directed it into her mouth.

"Mmm, nice," said Wei-ling.

"Oh, you're good," said Gerald. "Too good. I don't want to shoot in your mouth."

Gerald took his cock out of her mouth. He adjusted his position so he could continue performing cunnilingus on while keeping his penis out of reach of her mouth. He wanted to prevent her from sticking his now very sensitive cock back into her mouth. He was on a hair-trigger, and he knew it. Wei-ling would have to satisfy herself with holding onto it while his active mouth paid lingual attention to what lay between her legs.

"I want your cock in me," she said.

"I will. I promise," Gerald said. "I stopped you from sucking my cock because I was too close to cumming. If that happened, you'd have to wait for a while before I could fire up my engine again to grant you your wish."

[Ramesh_Rocky]

Gerald knew very well that women were far more capable of multiple orgasms than just about any man on the planet. It was his intention to bring her to her peak first. After several minutes of cunnilingus, Gerald heard the cry of joy and enjoyed the taste of her female nectar, both of which told he had succeeded in bringing about her climax. He won his erotic war with her.

* * *

When Aiko and Norman reached the bed, they removed their clothing almost immediately. Aiko paid very little attention to what her husband and Wei-ling were doing. She was, she couldn't quite come up with the right word, well, intrigued with her new lover, Norman.

Physically, the contrast between the two was startling. Aiko was petite and, like most Oriental women, almost hairless, except for her head and her neatly trimmed pussy. She regularly removed her armpit air. Norman was the opposite. He was the biggest of the three men. He was stout and very hairy, both features seeming to emphasize his large frame.

Hairiness was not new to Aiko. Her husband was a typical Caucasian of northern European descent. Hair covered every part of his body, even in the crack of his ass. Although Caucasian women were far less hairy than the Caucasian men, they were still hairier than an Oriental. Aiko knew that many of her white female colleagues regularly shaved their legs or used depilatories.

Although it had become fashionable among some Caucasian men to remove hair, especially on their chest, Gerald rejected the notion that he should follow suit by removing of his body hair. He made exceptions for beards and moustaches. He visited his barber regularly to keep his head hair short.

Gerald had to shave on a daily basis; the stubble on his face was obvious after only 24 hours. Sometimes, Gerald shaved in the evening too. Aiko giggled at the thought. Her husband knew she didn't like the bristle-like feel of his abrasive stubble on her chin when they kissed. So if he shaved in the evening, and they weren't going out, it was a sure bet he had sex on his mind. He shaved just before they came to Bill and Wei-ling's stateroom.

Norman obviously took no interest in removing his body hair either. The main difference between Norman and her husband was the colour of their hair. Gerald's hair was blond so it was visually less conspicuous than Norman's dark covering.

Norman's hair was so thick and so visible that Aiko thought of it as a fur coat. When Normally turned his back to her while putting his clothes out of the way, Aiko discovered another difference between her husband and her current lover. Hair covered most of his back. He was definitely hairier than Gerald. Because he was a big man, Norman reminded her of a bear. Bears were big and furry. Once formulated, the thought stuck in her mind. She couldn't get the image of Norman as a bear out of her head.

Aiko recalled that, when she first started going out with Gerald, she was at a loss what to think about his hairiness. At that time, the first descriptive word that entered her head was 'icky'. While they were dating, she got used to it. When their relationship became more serious and more intimate, she found herself actually becoming attracted to his hairiness.

Somewhere in the recesses of Aiko's mind, hairiness appealed to her at a primitive, almost primeval, animal-like level as a symbol of male vigour. When she and Gerald made love together, she actually loved the sensuousness of his hair brushing against her body.

Now she was in the presence of a man who was even hairier than her tall, Teutonic husband. The bottom line was obvious. She was not the least bit put off by her hirsute lover-to-be. Quite to the contrary, the erotic primitiveness of his fur coat turned her on.

In her own mind, Aiko concluded she had to have some kind of fetish for hairiness, or maybe, even for fur. She wondered what it would be like to be naked and then wear a mink coat inside out. The problem was she had no means of testing herself because she had no fur coat.

Aiko had heard of people, mostly women, with a fetish for fur. She recalled Gerald telling her that some people enjoyed reading or watching sex-oriented adult comics with characters known as 'furries'. In some of them, furries had sex with humans.

Norman's sudden touch broke Aiko out her reverie. She smiled at the thought of Norman, the bear-man, as a furry. All he needed was a tail and big hairy ears.

Norman enveloped her petite body within his huge size. A forest of hair seemed to surround her. 'Is this what wearing a fur coat inside out would feel like?' she asked herself.

As Norman's lips explored her neck, she felt the forest of fur on his arms travel up and down her back. The forest of hair on his belly tickled her completely hairless one.

Even more erotic was his fur-covered chest brushing against her smooth, soft, total hairlessness. His chest hair felt like a multitude of tiny fingers, caressing and teasing her mammaries and her sensitive nipples. Aiko felt a tremor of delight as they hardened.

She felt an urge to snuggle into his fur, to savour the scents of his skin underneath his hairy canopy. Somewhere in that forest of hair lurked a one-eyed monster, hiding, waiting for its prey. Aiko smiled at the imagery. She knew where the one-eyed monster was; it was too big to hide in Norman's forest.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"Norman," she said, "I thought my husband was a very hairy man. You take the cake. You're even hairier. You know what, Norman?"

"What?" Norman wasn't quite sure what she was leading up to.

Aiko noticed his cock begin to deflate. She sensed he was sensitive about his thick hair. She thought it must have been difficult for him when he went through puberty. She had no doubt some girls probably made fun of him as he became hairier and hairier.

"I love it. I love the feel of your hair all over my body," she told him.

Aiko snuggled into Norman. She reached for his cock, putting her small hand around it. Her unexpected words of praise for his hairiness and her delicate, yet erotic, touch of his penis, put him at ease. His cock showed signs of coming back to life.

"I've got a thing for hairy men," she added. "I think they're very sexy," she added. "And that means you."

Aiko's flattering words and her stroking of his penis stimulated further growth in Norman's cock. In fact, it grew rather rapidly. He was absolutely delighted by what he heard and what she was doing to him. He was hot for her; she just told him she was hot for him.

Norman was back in his groove, but Aiko's words gave him an idea. If she found hairiness to be erotic, then the right thing for him to do was to offer her more of it hair. He subtly moved her body against his. Just enough so that she shifted a little up and down his chest, letting his forest of hair brush against her. As he necked with her, he repeatedly let his hairy arms travel up and down her back, occasionally grabbing her ass-cheeks for good measure.

Norman now wanted to kiss Aiko too. Taking advantage of his huge frame, he lifted her completely off the floor so as to bring her mouth to his. He kissed her, at first tenderly and then with greater ardour. She returned his increasingly lustful kisses with her own.

After Norman finally broke the last, very long, kiss, he let her body slide down his hairy chest until her feet reached the floor. Her lips of her pussy brushed the length of his cock as she landed on her feet.

As much as he wanted to plunge into her, Norman restrained himself. He was just too excited. His fuse was a little too short. He knew he wouldn't be able to hold off if he mounted her now. He also knew she was not quite ready. He wanted to make the little sex kitten in his arms crazier with lust.

Norman picked her up again, taking her off the floor once more. This time he raised high so that her face was next to his.

"Put you arms around my neck and hold on," Norman huffed. "It'll make it easier for me to bear your weight."

Aiko did as he asked. She put her mouth against his neck, gave him a lick and a kiss. Norman slowly shifted her up and down his chest. When he brought his mouth to her neck, he searched for and found her erogenous zones.

Norman shifted Aiko's weight again. While one arm held her in place against his chest, the other arm sought to explore her warm, wet pussy. He felt the heat of her pussy against his hairy belly. His hands found more erogenous spots. He felt Aiko squirm at the pleasure of his touch.

After a few minutes, Norman removed his hand from between her legs. Although he was a strong man, it had difficulty carrying Aiko's entire weight with one arm. He put his free arm under Aiko's ass to lift her up again and then wrapped it around her. With both arms, he slowly lifted and then lowered her several times against his body so that Aiko's entire torso could feel his fur sliding sensually across her body.

Aiko realized, even with two arms holding her up, he would soon tire. She decided to help Norman support her weight, and to tease him, impishly, at the same time. She wrapped both legs around his waist. She tried to lock herself in place by intertwining her feet behind his back. His girth was too large. The best she could do was to squeeze him with her thighs, hoping that the combination of her arms and legs around him would give him some relief from holding her weight.

Aiko smiled to herself, totally aware of the effect her wide-open legs had on her hirsute lover. Norman's cocked twitched at the thought of her sweet vagina so close to his excited manhood. Norman got some relief for his arms but no relief for his straining cock.

When Norman tried to make another adjustment to her position against his chest, she slipped down lower than Norman intended. He caught her quickly. For a brief moment, though, Aiko felt Norman's cock press against her vaginal opening. Aiko could feel her heart beating faster. She ached in anticipation of more than just a mere touch of Norman's one-eyed monster.

As much as it pained him to do so, Norman lifted Aiko back up. On the one hand, he wanted to drop her onto his ock. On the other hand, he was determined to take his time. He was going to stick to his hastily made plan to string out their sexual foreplay. He resumed sliding her up and down his fur coat but with a difference this time. Each time he lowered her, he made sure to touch her pussy, just barely, with his cock.

Aiko was sweaty and breathing heavily. He was tantalizing her, and doing it very successfully! She wanted his hard cock inside her and she wanted it now. Still she remained silent.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

Norman decided it was time lower her a little further than before. This time when he lowered her, he deliberately made sure the tip of his hard cock poked at the mouth of her vagina. Once, by accident, the tip of his cock actually found her vaginal opening and made a brief entry. His cock told him she was hot, wet and ready.

Now that his cock knew where to find its target, Norman lowered her until his cock pressed between the folds of her pussy several times. Aiko squirmed at the heavenliness of his stiff member's light probing.

Norman's teasing inflamed Aiko. She clung tightly to him, fearing that a slight shift in their bodies' alignment might put him off-target. She felt like a target; she wanted to be a target. Her excitement rose. Her breathing became uneven. She wanted him to penetrate her, to plunge into her, and to bring her to sexual ecstasy.

The two lovers groaned as their passions increased, she because of his animal-like quality, he because of her softness and delicacy, both because they were desperate for what the other had to offer, so near and yet so far.

Norman stopped. He lifted her completely in his arms. He wanted to gaze at her sexy body before finally taking her. Aiko could tell he was lost in lust. She knew she was ready and willing join him, to unite their bodies in mutual orgasmic bliss.

With Aiko still in his arms, Norman sat down on the bed again. She released her hold around his neck and waist, thinking to let herself down onto the bed. But Norman refused to let her go. Instead, he began sliding her down his body. She swore she could feel the heat of his cock approaching her. She sensed Norman's overwhelming desire to let her slide completely onto his cock, to impale her on his hard smooth pole. She realized the next time his cock poked its head into her humid hole, he could easily just release his grip and let gravity do its work and then let nature take care of the rest.

Near the peak of her own lust, Aiko had the sudden desire to let him take her bareback, to feel his manly cum splash inside her. She barely remembered he was supposed to put on a condom. As crazed with passion as she was, and an alarm bell rang in her head. She turned her head to look for Gerald.

* * *

Sex in the 69-position had its desired effect. Gerald's cock became harder. Wei-ling's love tunnel leaked freely with her sexual juices.

"I want you now," Wei-ling whispered hoarsely. "I want you inside me now. Please, I want to feel you squirting all the way up inside me."

Gerald reached for a condom.

"No," she said. "I want to feel the your naked cock inside me. I want to feel the flood of your cum in my womb."

"But I can't," he said. "Aiko and I haven't agreed to do that. Unprotected sex is a big step because it entails some risks."

"You already know you can't make me pregnant," Wei-ling argued, "and we know the six of us have no diseases," she pointed out. "We're safe without a safe."

"I know. It's the principle of thing between Aiko and me. I believe you, but still..." Gerald stopped.

Wei-ling had suddenly taken hold of his cock. She tugged at it as if she were trying to direct it toward her vaginal opening.

"I just can't..."

Wei-ling stopped tugging on his cock

"Look," suddenly Wei-ling interrupted, "Aiko is watching us. She can tell what I want to do." Wei-ling pulled Gerald's stiff cock toward her slit again. "I'm holding the evidence of it in my hand after all."

Wei-ling waved at Aiko. Aiko waved back.

Gerald looked into his wife's eyes. He saw Norman holding her up off his lap. His erection pointed directly at the hole between her pussy lips. Aiko also had a clear view of Wei-ling's hand on Gerald's bare cock, trying to push it into her hungry pussy.

Aiko saw the question in Gerald's face. They were both in the same dilemma.

Aiko considered her situation. She remembered her periods were now very infrequent. The risk of pregnancy was almost infinitesimal. She wanted to feel Norman's bare rigid cock inside her. The though of Norman cumming inside her made her pussy clench.

'It's decision time again,' Aiko thought. 'I believe our new friends when they say they're clean. I'll do whatever Gerald wants. But I want to go all the way.'

Aiko briefly glanced at Bill and Emma. They were riding bareback. Bill was taking her from behind. They were oblivious to what the other two pairs of lovers were doing. She could tell they would soon reach their peak.

"I want to too," Gerald said to his wife, almost as if he was reading her mind. "It's so much hotter that way."

It wasn't necessary for him to specify what he meant. It was rather obvious.

She nodded. "Me too."

Gerald stopped resisting Wei-ling's efforts to pull his cock into her heated vaginal passage. He plunged in, expressing his joy at the pleasure he felt as her womanly sheath enveloped his throbbing cock.

Norman saw the exchange between Aiko and her husband. He saw them nod to each other, and heard the words they said. Then he saw Gerald's naked cock enter Bill's wife. His rock-hard member reacted with a twitch of anticipation of doing the same with Aiko.

Norman looked into Aiko's eyes.

"Go ahead," she told him. "Drop me onto your hot rod. I wanted to feel your hard cock pussy. Do me," she begged.

Norman's free hand went between their bodies. He aligned his erect penis with the entrance to Aiko's pussy hole. He pulled her down slowly. He wanted to savour every sensation of his penetration into Gerald's Japanese wife. He wanted her feel ridge of his cock slide against her swollen pussy lips as it sank into her vagina.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

Aiko sensed his cock approach her entrance. The arm around her waist was letting her slide slowly down his body. She felt his head of his cock part the folds of her labia. He lowered her some more. She felt his cock slide deeper into her hot passage. He pulled her down some more. She felt his intrusion begin to fill more of her womb.

Norman pulled her down completely. Aiko's warm, wet womb was completely occupied by the bear-man's thrusting cock. He thrust hard against her pelvis against as if to penetrate even deeper into her interior. The two lovers' bodies were united in the ultimate erotic embrace.

Aiko loved the sensation of the fullness he was giving her. The feel of it inside her lit a fire that needed to be doused. Her pussy clenched around his hardness as she rode up and down his stiff member.

The excitement of sexual union caused the breathing of the two lovers to become deeper, heavier and more erratic. They pumped and thrust against each other with abandon.

"Oh my god, this feels so good," she whispered. "I'm almost there," she managed to grunt between her mewling and moaning.

"I'm ready for you, sugar," the big man declared breathlessly.

"Make that wonderful cock of yours go even deeper inside me," she urged.

A few more thrusts and counter-thrusts later, Aiko reached the point of no return.

"Now, Norman!" she cried. "Do it now! I'm there. I'm cumming! Fill me with your hot cum," she whispered directly into his ear.

Norman snapped. What little restraint Norman still disappeared. His rational mind relinquished all control over his cock. He came hard.

Aiko felt the gush of Norman's cum flood her insides. The feel of his primeval hair, the flood of his warm sexual juices, and the knowledge that yet another man other tyhan her husband had a buried himself deep inside her body, triggered a second massive orgasm.

Rocked by their internal explosions, their energy completely spent, sweating, yet feeling deeply satisfied, the two lovers collapsed into a heap, with Aiko laying on top of Norman's large, hairy body.

Aiko made no effort to dislodge his shrinking cock. She giggled at the thought that he couldn't do any more damage with it anyway. Then another thought occurred to her: this was the first time she had ever allowed a man, other than Gerald, to fill her married womb with his seed.

When Aiko and Norman became aware of their surroundings again, they noticed Emma and Bill were watching them.

"That was quite a show," Emma said grinning. "I think my husband likes you."

They heard the grunting and sloshing from the other bed. Wei-ling and Gerald reached their climaxes too.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"We've got two nights left on the cruise, not including tonight," Bill observed. "So if I may, I'd like to make two or three suggestions."

The other five nodded.

"Aiko, Gerald, the four of us had a very brief discussion. We'd like you to join our little swinging group, meaning we, as a group of six, will continue swinging after the cruise. So think about it. We're not expecting you to answer right away."

Aiko and Gerald looked at each other. They nodded their agreement.

"Tonight we sleep in own staterooms to recover from tonight's sport," Bill said. "We can forget about swinging on the last night too. We all have to pack and turn in earlier than usual because disembarkation is early in the morning. So that leaves us with tomorrow night. So here is my second proposal."

"And that is..." Norman said, urging him on.

"Something we haven't done before," Bill completed. "I propose we swap spouses for the entire night."

There was silence. Even Norman and Emma had never contemplated such an arrangement even though they were best friends with Bill and Wei-ling and swung regularly with them. They were accustomed to open swinging for a few hours and then returning to their own mates for the rest of the night.

Of course, it was well known to the group that many married couples preferred closed swinging, that is, having sex with someone else's spouse in private. But closed swinging had never occurred to this group of friends. The circumstances of their introduction to swinging had precluded closed swinging. Also, knowing that their spouses were in the same room, and even seeing them having sex with someone else's partner was part of the sexual thrill; it reinforced their sense of openness, sharing and camaraderie.

So Bill's suggestion to have a session of closed swinging seemed odd to the group. What seemed even odder to them was his suggestion to sleep overnight with someone other than the person you were married to.

As they were new to couples swinging, Aiko and Gerald were not particularly concerned about closed swinging. They reasoned that open swinging was harder to get used to because it meant others could watch. Closed swinging was therefore no big deal to them. Bill's idea of actually sleeping with someone else's spouse for an entire night seemed a strangely intimate thing to do. Unlike sex, whose duration usually counted in minutes, sleeping was something people did for hours.

Not waiting for an answer, Bill continued. "The men should return to their own staterooms before the stewards start making their rounds."

Again there was silence. Emma broke it.

"I think it's a great idea," she said. We've been having sex in each other's presence. We've done open swinging. So what's a little closed swinging? The idea of spending a whole night with another man is a turn-on because I've never done that before. I like the idea of being a temporary wife."

She pointed at the three men. Their cocks were starting to stiffen again. "That's at least four votes in favour. What about you Wei-ling?"

Wei-ling nodded her agreement.

"The 'ayes' have it," Emma declared.

They all laughed.

But Gerald hesitated. "We're still new at this. Aiko and I should talk about it first."

Back in the stateroom, Gerald spoke first. "What struck me about Bill's suggestion was how strange it seemed." He smiled. "My initial reaction was, having sex with someone's else's spouse was okay. But actually sleep with her? This weird thought went through my head that literally sleeping with another woman was somehow more intimate than having sex with her!"

"I think I understand where you're coming from," Aiko said. "We became swingers because we concluded that social sex comes naturally to us as human beings. Sex in private is commonplace, so there's nothing new there. But the idea of sharing the same bed and physically sleeping with other than each other seems in even more intimate than the open swinging we've done so far."

"I think that sums it up pretty well, hon," Gerald agreed. "It's a turn-on because it seems more intimate," he added.

"So what are you saying?" Aiko asked. "You want to go for it?"

"Yes," he said. "The idea of spending the night with either Emma or Wei-ling has an oddly erotic quality to it."

"So are you also saying, you're not going to be bothered if I sleep with another man?"

"I guess that's what it means," he agreed.

"Okay," she said, "but I want you to make love to me tonight."

"Absolutely, sweetheart. You drive a hard bargain."

As agreed, the three couples swapped spouses. Bill spent the night with Aiko while his Chinese wife enjoyed Norman's company. Gerald stayed with Emma.

On the last day of the cruise, the six friends met as cruise tablemates for last time and afterwards took a private corner in one of the lounges, as far away from the live band as possible, to continue their dinner conversation.

* * *

After a long return flight from San Diego, Aiko and Gerald stumbled into their home. They emptied their luggage, tossed dirty clothing into the clothes hamper, took showers and ordered a pizza, which they ate as soon as it arrived.

Gerald noticed his wife was unusually quiet. She had been since the night three couples made their overnight exchange.

"What's bothering you, hon," he asked.

"I've got a confession to make," she replied.

"You do?" her husband said.

"I think I broke our rule about nothing happening unless we both agree," Aiko said starting to sob.

As soon as Aiko spilled these words, Gerald saw guilt replace the moroseness on her face since the overnight swap.

Gerald felt a surge of alarm. "What! What did you do?" he asked.

"I let Bill fuck my virgin ass," she blurted out. Then she broke down crying, tears running from her eyes.

"You what!" his eyes were wide and his mouth gaped in surprise.

"I let Bill...."

"He took your virgin ass?"

"Yes," she squeaked like mouse.

Suddenly he roared with laughter.

"It's not funny," she pouted.

Gerald continued to laugh. Aiko had not expected this reaction.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"You're not angry with me?" she asked.

"Surprised yes, angry no. Why did you expect me to be angry?"

A flush of both relief and confusion washed through Aiko.

"Well, because he sodomized me," she explained, "which is something you've never done."

"And..." he urged.

"And because we said we had to have each other's permission before we let anything happen. Otherwise. It's cheating."

"Ah," he said drawing out the vowel. "Now I get it," her husband responded with the dawn of understanding. "No, I'm not angry, Aiko. Firstly, I've never asked you to let me try your back door because I'm not particularly interested in anal sex. Secondly, we agreed to swap spouses. Remember what Emma said about the overnight swap? Aptly I thought."

"I remember her describing herself as a temporary wife," she recalled.

"Exactly," Gerald confirmed. "By implication, she was saying you and Wei-ling were also temporary wives. And what kind of sexual relationship should a husband and wife have?" he asked.

"Whatever gives them mutual pleasure," she answered beginning to understand what her husband was driving at.

"We never specified any limitations on what could took place between us and our partner for the night other than, of course, that whatever we did had to be voluntary. Obviously, that was a choice each temporary couple would make for that night."

Gerald paused to let his words sink in.

"So the question is," he continued, "did you let him or did Bill force himself on you? If he forced himself on you, our new friendship with them will come to a very abrupt end and...."

"I let him," she croaked out interrupting her husband.

"I have a question for you, Aiko," Gerald said, "If, in our many years of marriage, I had asked you to let me take you by the back passage, would you have let me?"

"Before our heart-to-heart talk about our sex life, absolutely not. But when I did research on the Internet, I learned some people actually enjoy having sex that way. At first, I couldn't imagine myself doing something like that, later on I got curious. I even wondered what it would be like to have a cock up my ass."

"You never said anything to me," Gerald pointed out.

"You never asked. And you just admitted you weren't really interested. So of course, you wouldn't ask! And what would have been the point of admitting to it?"

"That's a very good point, hon," he conceded.

"So you're okay with what happened? Are you saying I didn't break any rules?" she asked anxiously, still feeling a little uncertain, wanting to make sure.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying," he responded.

Aiko burst out in tears.

"Now what?" he asked as he pulled her into his arms.

She looked up smiling. "I'm so happy you're not sore at me. I love you so much, hon. I thought I betrayed you. I felt so bad about myself."

"You're off the hook, hon," he said drawing her in his arms hugging her, "but I am curious to know how it happened. Will you tell me?"

"Okay," she agreed. "There should be no secrets between us."

"It'll be a really interesting story. Both Bill and Norman are very hot for you. Let's face it, hon, you're a sexual magnet."

"Flattery will get you every where, husband."

He laughed. "I know, wife. Now tell me to the story," he urged. "We can make out later."

Aiko settled into her husband, his right arm dbanging over her shoulder, and began to recount that evening.

* * *

Aiko's Night with Bill

While Aiko waited for Bill to arrive, she put on a negligee. Just in case some one other than Bill happened to knock on the door, she also decided to put on her bathrobe.

The knock came a few minutes later. Aiko opened the door; it was Bill. As he walked in, she placed the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the outside handle and locked the door.

As soon as she turned around, she noticed his bulging hard-on.

Bill shrugged his shoulders. "Aiko, a man has to be either gay or dead not to get a hard-on from you," he said.

"Oh Bill, you're terrible," she said obviously embarrassed.

Although Aiko considered herself to be an experienced swinger now, she still retained a strong sense of modesty.

"What can I say, Aiko. You're one hell of a sexy woman," he added.

Bill didn't wait waste time. He wanted to see the treats he would be able to enjoy for the night. He took hold of the knot of the cord that kept her bathrobe closed. The robe opened, revealing her negligee.

Aiko giggled at his stare. He was almost drooling. The negligee hid nothing, but he stared at her as if he had never seen her naked before.

Aiko remembered what Gerald had once told her: 'For some men, a little bit of covering on the good parts is sexier than total nudity.'

Bill removed his clothes. His erection, now freed from the restraints of his pants, stood at full attention.

Aiko was about to take off her negligee when he stopped her. "Keep it on," he said, "it's sexier."

Bill led her to the bed. At first there was nothing unusual about his lovemaking. He was a patient and skilful lover. He knew he had to warm her oven before she could cook his meat. For a while, they lay together, kissing and fondling, touching and exploring. In short, they did the usual things that men and women do as foreplay.

Their sensual pleasure for each other grew as the minutes passed. They enjoyed the feel of their roaming hands over each other's sensitized skin.

"You're a very beautiful woman, Aiko," Bill said, "but can I ask you a personal question?"

His hand was stroking her pubic area, his fingers occasionally gliding into her wet hole or gently brushing against her clitoris.

Aiko shivered at his touch.

"Sure, Bill, what?"

"Have you ever tried anal?" he asked.

Aiko stopped. She knew some people liked anal sex, but it had never been part of the sex life she shared with Gerald.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"No, we've never tried it," she admitted. "Gerald has never asked for it. And I've never even really thought about it."

'The most that Gerald did,' Aiko thought, 'was to occasionally let his finger dally around her asshole during lovemaking. But he'd never done more than that.'

"Wei-ling and I do it once in a while when we're in the mood to do something very different," Bill said.

"Doesn't it hurt," Aiko asked. She was curious.

"Not if it's done right. It can actually be enjoyable."

It finally dawned on Aiko what he was hinting at. "You want to do me in the ass?" she asked suddenly alarmed.

"Yes."

"I don't think I'd like that," she declared.

"I won't make you do it," Bill promised, "but I will try to seduce you into it."

Before Aiko could say anything further, Bill resumed his lovemaking. He paid special attention to her pussy and sensitive breasts. He performed the same magic on her as he had done during the first swinging party on the ship. She responded with moans of pleasure, Bill's declared intention temporarily forgotten.

Bill slipped a finger into her slit to confirm what he already knew. She was wet, ready and willing. He aligned his cock to her love hole and sank his cock into her. He moved in and out of her, slowly at first, then gradually increasing the vigour of his thrusts.

"Oh, ah, that feels so good," she whimpered and mewled.

He continued until he was sure she was getting close to her climax.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

She sighed. "Yes, I'm ready. Just a little more."

Then much to her surprise, Bill suddenly withdrew.

"Please Bill, don't stop now. I want you to keep fucking me. I', almost ready to cum. Please," she begged.

"No," he said. "I'm in charge now."

Bill's commanding words caused a strange stir of anticipation go through Aiko's body. She thrilled at his implication to make her submit to him. She could feel the eagerness in her body to let him have his way with her.

"You will do as I say, Aiko," Bill commanded.

Aijko was too close to her orgasm. She didn't want it to stop now. "Please, make me cum," she pleaded.

"Only if you agree to do whatever I tell you to do for the rest of the night," Bill demanded

Aiko was desperate for release. "Yes, yes, I agree. Just fuck me now."

Bill mounted her again. Bill's rock-hard cock thrust mightily into her. A few more thrusts quickly brought Aiko to her peak. Suddenly, Aiko lost all restraint as her animal instincts took control. She mewled with joy at vigour of his penile assault.

"Oh, that was so wonderful," she sighed as she started to descend from her climax. "But you didn't cum in me," she complained. "I want your cum in me."

"We're not done yet," Bill stated.

He pulled out his cock. As much as he wanted his own release, he had other ideas.

Aiko saw that he was still hard. There would be no break for her yet. Bill got off the bed for a moment. Searching the nightstand drawer, he found what he was looking for, a jar of lube.

"Get on all fours." he panted. "Make sure you point beautiful ass up."

She obeyed. She wanted to expose herself entirely to his view.

While he licked up and down her labia, he put a large quantity of lubrication on his index finger. While still tasting the sweet juices of her pussy, he inserted the tip of his lubed finger into her anal opening.

Aiko clenched her sphincter when she felt his digital intrusion.

"Relax," he commanded. "You agreed to do whatever I say for the rest of the night. So do it. Relax."

"Yes," she said almost meekly.

She made herself relax. The tip of his finger in her asshole felt nice in an odd sort of way.

Bill noticed Aiko had unclenched her sphincter. He was able to work the tip of his finger passed her sphincter.

Aiko grunted at the intrusion.

"Relax, Aiko," Bill repeated thinking she was tensing up again.

Slowly, he pushed his finger into her anus up to the first knuckle. Then slightly moved it in and out.

Aiko relaxed some more. She was getting used to having his finger in her anus. She even began to like it.

"Good girl," he said.

Once in a while, Bill wiggled his finger against her rectal wall.

"Oh," she responded.

Gradually, Bill sank his lubed finger deeper into her anus. Now two knuckles deep, he withdrew his finger completely from her ass. He put more lube on it, then stuck his finger back into Aiko's asshole up to the second knuckle. For several minutes, he moved his finger in and out, waiting for his Asian lover to get used to it.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

Aiko sighed. It felt good.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked rhetorically.

"No."

"What does it feel like?" Bill asked.

"A little strange."

"But good?"

"Yes," she agreed sighing again.

That was what Bill wanted to hear.

"I've got two knuckles in you asshole," Bill told her. "Now I'm going to stick my whole finger in there, okay?"

Bill didn't wait for her to reply. He stuck his finger into her ass as deep as it would go, evoking a grunt from Aiko but no objection. He stroked her anal passage for several minutes, gently wiggling his finger inside her rectum. He could tell she was accepting his digital penetration of her anus. When she started to push herself against his finger, he knew she was enjoying the strange but exotic sensations of anal stimulation.

Suddenly Bill stopped.

Aiko was disappointed by the sudden withdrawal of his finger. She was enjoying what he was doing to her.

"I liked what you were doing," she confessed. "Please don't stop."

"Give me a few seconds, lover," he said.

She heard him wash his hands in the washroom. What she didn't know was that he had covered his cock in lube before he washed his hands. With he ass still pointed in his direction, she could hear him approach.

"Okay, lover, let's continue."

"Oh yes, whatever you say, Bill."

"And whatever I do," he added.

"Yes," she agreed. "Whatever you do."

Aiko felt pressure on her asshole. "Oh yes, I like that," she moaned thinking at first it was his finger again. "Do it some more."

'Then why did he wash his hands?' she suddenly asked herself despite being in a sexual haze.

While Aiko asked herself this question, Bill was aligning his lubricated cock to her anal opening. He shoved the tip of his cock partially in.

"I like that feel," she replied. "Are you using your thumb this time?" she asked.

Bill laughed. "It's not my thumb; it's the tip of my cock."

He gave her no chance to reply. He pushed in further.

'That's too big to be a thumb,' Aiko told herself as she felt him enter the back door.

"Oh god," she said out loud, "It feels good. I hope I don't fart," she added.

Bill couldn't help himself. He started to laugh so hard, he had to pull himself out of her ass.

"Stop it," he said spanking her lightly on her ass. "You might break the mood."

"Sorry," Aiko said. She stuck her ass back into the air. "Get to it."

Once more, Bill aligned his hot rod with Aiko's down chute. He pushed in gently. He was able to pass her sphincter. He stroked in and out of her for a while gradually working his way into her until half his cock was inside.

"My cock is already half-way in, Aiko. Do you want me to pull out?" he asked.

"No," she confessed. "I want to know what it's like."

Slowly but surely Bill worked his cock deeper into her back passage until he was all the way in.

An "oh" escaped her lips as Bill thrust his cock all the way into her. Aiko knew he was all the way in because she felt his balls flop against her sensitive pussy. There was no turning back for her now.

"Do what you want, Bill," she grunted. "Do me. Fill my ass with your cum."

[Ramesh_Rocky]

While he pumping into her exit chute, Bill fingered her vulva and teased her clitoris. After a few more minutes Aiko came hard. Bill spilled himself into her rectum.

"I liked it, Bill," Aiko confessed, "but I still prefer to have a hard cock in my pussy."

"Wei-ling and I don't it often," Bill said, "but variety is the spice of life."

"Would you consider doing it again?" he asked."

"Yes, if it is done as gently as you did it," she admitted.

* * *

"We slept for the rest of the night," Aiko told her husband. "He fucked me one more time before I left, the regular way this time. While I was waiting for you to come back, my guilt for letting Bill take me in the ass hit me."

"As I said, hon, don't worry about it," Gerald said. "The main thing is that you enjoyed yourself."

"And what did you and Emma do," Aiko asked.

"Nothing as unusual as you did but my evening with her had an interesting twist too," he replied.

"Oh yeah? What?" she demanded.

"Patience, sweetheart. I'll tell you my story."

"Okay, hon," he said.

* * *

Gerald's Night with....

After Gerald left Aiko behind in their stateroom, he went straight to Emma and Norman's stateroom. Just as he approached the door, Norman came out the door."

"Go right in, buddy," Norman urged, "she's expecting you." He walked up the nearby stairs heading towards Wei-ling and Bill's stateroom.

"Make sure you put the 'Do Not Disturb' sign out and lock the door before push back the curtain," Emma told him. "I'm not decent. I don't want anyone to see who shouldn't," she added.

Gerald walked in and did as she requested. The curtain, he knew, preserved privacy by blocking anyone who happened to walk by from seeing into the room when the door was open.

"Do you want me to close my eyes?" he asked.

Emma laughed. "Always the gentleman. No, you can pull the curtain and look."

What he saw gave him an instant hard-on. His mouth went dry. Emma was lying on her back. Her legs were wide-open and her femininity was completely exposed to his view. Her bush was trimmed.

"Well," she said obviously anticipating what was to come, "come over here and help yourself to my treats."

Gerald flung off his clothes. He went to the bed and reclined beside her.

"You are one very delicious treat," he said.

Gerald had tasted them a few days earlier on the first night they swapped with the frisky foursome. He was hungry for more.

Gerald took a tit in his mouth. His hand wandered to her trimmed vee. It was glistening; she was already wet.

Then they heard a knock at the door.

'Damn,' Gerald thought. 'Who could that be? I was just getting started.'

"Hold on, lover," Emma said to Gerald. "Coming! Just give a second," she yelled loud enough for whoever was outside the door to hear.

Emma put on her bathrobe, making sure her entire body was covered. Gerald got off the bed. He sat on the couch out of sight from whoever might be looking in from the door.

She winked at Gerald. "some more delights have arrived," she declared enigmatically.

Emma closed the curtain before opening the door. Gerald could have sworn he heard someone step in.

He got his confirmation a few seconds later. It was Wei-ling.

Gerald's bewilderment must have been obvious.

"You're getting two treats for the price of one," Emma laughed.

"But what about Norman?" Gerald asked.

"It was his idea," Wei-ling said. "After he heard about Aiko's first swinging experience on your very first cruise, and because you let him be the first man other than yourself to have unprotected sex with Aiko, he thought it was only right you should enjoy a special experience too."

Gerald liked the idea, but he was curious about Norman. "So what's he going to do?" Gerald asked.

"He's going to watch a couple of movies until I get back," Wei-ling replied. "We're going to double-team you for a couple of hours. Then I'll go back to my stateroom to have some fun with Norman. As you can tell, there's not enough room on the bed for three people to sleep over night."

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"Okay," he said, "you girls seem to have decided what's going to happen. So, let it happen."

Wei-ling undressed while Emma removed her bathrobe. Gerald crawled back onto the bed.

"Lie down lover," Emma said.

Gerald did as she asked.

The women got on the bed, one on each side. They kissed and caressed him up and down his chest for a while. When they licked him, their hands went to his genitals. When one stroked his cock, the other cupped his balls in her hands and rolled gently as if they were dice made of glass.

"Come on girls. As much as I enjoy your attention, I want you two girls to get hot too," he urged.

"Don't worry about it," Emma said. "Just feel us up while we work on you," she added.

Gerald did but he felt he was in a more excited state than they were.

"He's got a point," Wei-ling laughed while looking at his stiff cock. "We should have our fun too. If his rocket blasts off into space too soon, we'll miss seeing the stars."

"True," Emma said, "but don't forget. You've still got my husband back at your stateroom to take care of."

"I'll tell you what," Wei-ling said. "You sit on his face and feed him your pussy. I'll suck his cock."

Okay, that sounds like a plan," Emma said delighted at her friend's suggestion.

Both women knew from experience that Gerald was skilful with his tongue and mouth.

Emma rubbed her nether lips across his mouth. "Still tastes good?" she asked.

"Mmm um, uh," he grunted, his words muffled by her muff.

"I think that was a yes," Emma said chuckling.

In the meantime, Weil-ling was sucking his cock. She felt it twitch in her mouth.

Weil-ling her mouth off his cock. "He's really getting too excited," she announced.

"You'd better stop then," Emma said. "You've already had his bare cock cum inside you," she reminded her friend. "I want my turn. Don't forget he had a condom on when I rode him that first night we swung with them."

"Let's switch places," Wei-ling suggested. "I can tell his mouth is already having an effect on you. I can see it in your face."

They switched. Wei-ling placed her pussy on Gerald's mouth. Gerald licked and sucked her wet pussy.

Emma, however, decided not to touch Gerald's cock or put her mouth on it. Instead, she put her leg over Gerald's body and placed her pussy against his stiff member. Emma was desperate to put his bare cock inside her but decided to wait, hoping that lapping at Wei-ling's private parts would distract his attention from his penis.

Emma touched Gerald's hot rod every few moments to remind him of what his hot rod was missing. Gerald didn't need the reminder; he knew what he was missing and what he wanted.

Emma fingered herself. Gerald's skilful mouth added to her arousal. She wanted to maintain her state of arousal until the time was right for her to jump onto Gerald's saddle and put his horn into her slippery womb.

After a few minutes, Wei-ling let out a sigh. She bathed Gerald's face in her juices.

"Hey!" Emma protested good-naturedly. He's supposed to me mine tonight."

"Don't worry about it," Wei-ling laughed. You'll still get best part," she said looking behind her and seeing her friend straddle the supine man.

Wei-ling quickly got off Gerald's face. She ducked into the washroom, dampened a small face cloth and then quickly wiped his face of her female fluids.

"He's all yours now," Wei-ling declared. "I got to rush back to the stateroom. I want some cock in me too and your husband is in need of some hospitality."

Wei-ling dressed quickly. Emma put her bathrobe back on. After Wei-ling left, Emma locked the door.

"Where were we," she wondered as she threw off her bathrobe. "Oh yes, let me get back on your face for a few moments."

Emma faced down his body. She stared at Gerald's throbbing penis. She could tell it was on a hair-trigger. She decided not to touch it for now. She stuck her pussy onto his face. He would know what to do, and he did it.

Gerald knew what she wanted. He was not the kind of guy to refuse a lady. He gave her vulva, the same attention as Wei-ling had just received a few minutes earlier. The two women tasted differently but both tasted good.

When she felt her arousal increase, Emma had an overwhelming urge to suck on Gerald's cock. She bent toward it, grabbed it, and stuck it into her mouth. They were now in the 69-position. She sucked very gently on his hard rod. It throbbed. She didn't want him to cum in her mouth; she had to be careful.

Meanwhile, Emma felt the sexual tension build between her legs. She was approaching her own point of no return.

Emma got off Gerald's face. She switched around again to face him. She slid her wet pussy down his belly until she felt the jabbing of his cock. He was very hard and she was very wet. All she had to do was feel the tip of his cock between her labia and slide down. That is exactly what she did.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

The two lovers were so close to the edge for so long that they both started cumming within seconds of full penetration. Emma moaned out her lust as she felt Gerald fill her insides with his cum.

After that the two lovers took a break. They had sex once more before falling asleep and again after they woke up the following morning.

* * *

"So that's what happened," Gerald said concluding his story.

"We've become full-fledged swingers," Aiko observed. She put her arms around her husband. "Any regrets?"

"No, I had a lot of fun. And you?"

"Me too," she said. "I like swinging. It's exciting. As much as I enjoy sex with you, hon, I admit the thought of a little variety makes me horny."

"Different pussy makes me hot too," he agreed.

"I have to confess something else, though," she said almost shyly."

"Oh?" he questioned.

"I'm glad we used condoms only on the first night. I loved the feel of bare cock inside me. It made me even hotter to have Bill and Norman fill my unprotected womb with their cum.

"Does my saying that bother you?" she asked realizing how wanton she must have sounded.

"No hon," he said. "I really enjoyed outing my cock into Emma's and Wei-ling's unprotected pussies for essentially the same reason."

Aiko looked relieved. Her husband bore no grudge against her for having anal sex with Bill.

"So I guess that means we're going to become the third couple in their swinging group?" Aiko asked.

"Only if you want to," he replied.

"I want to," she said kissing him. "We'll accept their invitations and we should reciprocate by inviting them too."

"It sounds good to me," Gerald said. "But there's still one thing better than swinging," Gerald noted.

"What's that," Aiko asked."

"Loving you," he said.

She smiled, gave him a peck. "I love you so much, Gerald. But we have chores to do."

Aiko was happy. Gerald seemed to have the knack to say the right thing at exactly the right time.

With that, they spent the rest of the evening unpacking their luggage, calling their children to tell them they were safely back, and preparing for their return to work. But in the back of his mind, Gerald noted that his wife had once again allowed a man to take control.

The three couples met briefly at breakfast on the following morning. They agreed to meet on the second Saturday of every month, provided of course, they had no other obligations.

A Swinging Odyssey Ch. 08

A week later, Aiko found her husband in a pensive mood.

"You've got something on your mind, Gerald."

"Yes, hon, I've been extremely busy at work since our cruise. Now I have to take a few business trips to the West Coast. Some of the regional offices have invited me to train their staff. My boss says I'm a good trainer because I know how to make information management policies and procedures understandable to staff. He encouraged me to accept the invitations and also asked me to attend an information management conference in California. I'll be away for almost three of next four weeks. The only good thing is there will no more business travelling for the next few months after that."

"Well, we do have to work for living, Gerald," she sighed sympathizing with her husband. "Consider yourself lucky. These business trips are the exception rather than the rule," she observed. "You just hit a bad streak. That's all."

"Worse," he continued smiling, "these business trips will put a damper on our sex life. We won't be able pay our new swinging friends a visit until this rash of business trips is over."

"You have to do what you have to do," she said philosophically.

"Even in the week since we came back, I've been up to my eyeballs in work because of a major legal case has come up. We've had difficulty finding some important documents staff failed to pay proper attention to the management of their records. I've had to put in overtime to find them. I feel drained," he complained."

"I don't like the way your job has been draining you either," Aiko replied wryly. "That's my job." She batted her almond-shaped eyes.

Gerald smiled broadly at her corny double entendre. He drew sweet Japanese wife into his arms and gave her a deep loving kiss, then grabbed her butt for good measure.

"You've got something in the tank?" Aiko asked.

"Don't go there, hon. I have to get back to work on preparing training materials and my conference presentation. I thought I'd be able to do it all at work but it's not turned out that way. You know what I'm like, thorough and fastidious. Every word has to convey a message to my audience."

With that, Gerald went back to the computer. "Where was I..." he mumbled to himself.

* * *

Several weeks later, Gerald returned home from the last of his business trips. It didn't help that his flight home was delayed. He had to wait for several hours before a seat became available. Exhausted, he was finally able to dragged himself through the door. He had only enough energy to give his wife a perfunctory kiss, then headed straight for the shower.

Gerald enjoyed his showers. He not only washed away the day's dirt and the sweat, but also symbolically washed away his cares at work. Gerald strongly believed in separating his private life from his work life. Aiko liked that about him; she shared his attitude.

Dinner was ready by the time Gerald finished showering. The next day was a Friday; it also happened to be a holiday. Friday was a holiday. The couple looked forward to having a relaxing three-day weekend together.

After dinner and dishes, Gerald went to the living room where he took his habitual place on the sofa and stretched his legs on the ottoman. He patted a place beside him, a clear invitation to his wife to cuddle and snuggle. It meant that he was finally beginning to relax.

'Good,' Aiko mused, 'he's coming down from his work high, or should I say work low.'

She sat down beside him and put her head on his shoulder. "Mmm," it's nice to have my man back," she said.

Gerald curled his arms around her shoulders. "It feels really good to have the love of my life in my arms again too," he said. "I feel so much better already."

They snuggled silently for a few moments.

"I've got a surprise for you," Aiko perked up.

"Is it something like the surprise you gave me after we came home from the cruise?"

"Of course not," she laughed. "You'll like this surprise," she declared.

"Okay, what's the surprise?" Gerald asked.

Gerald noticed she had a silly smirk on her face.

"You'll find out later," she said coquettishly.

Gerald shrugged. He decided to let her tell him in her own way and in her own time. He was intrigued but willing to play along.

They lay in each other's arms for a while longer, exchanging tender kisses and caresses.

Aiko sensed him becoming more relaxed. The husband and lover she knew and loved was almost back.

"How do feel now, hon?" she asked after a few more moments.

"Sweetie, when I'm with you, I always feel so much better," he replied embracing her.

As far as Aiko was concerned, the moment had arrived.

"That's good, lover. It's time for your surprise. You wait here for a few minutes. Okay?"

"Whatever you say, hon."

Aiko went to the bedroom.

A few minutes later she called out to her husband. "Hon, could you come to the bedroom please? But don't walk in. Put your hand on the doorknob and then close your eyes. No peeking. Don't open them until I say so. Okay?"

"Okay" he agreed somewhat bemused by her peculiar behaviour but also wondering what she had in store.

He put his hand on the door and closed his eyes.

"My eyes are closed, Aiko," he called through the door.

"Okay, come in a few steps but don't open your eyes."

"Why all the mystery?" he enquired as he opened the door, his eyes still closed.

"You'll see," she giggled. "For sure you'll really see," she said emphasizing the word 'really'.

He stepped in. "Now what?"

"Okay, open your eyes," she giggled again.

He did. And what he saw caused his cock to stand erect almost immediately. She was reclining on her back, which was propped by pillows. Her legs were spread wide-open. Her Asian pussy was absolutely naked! No bush! Not a single pubic hair was visible on her love triangle! It was glorious!

[Ramesh_Rocky]

Gerald's eyes seem to pop out of his head. He fixated on the wondrous hairless slit between her creamy-white and silky-smooth thighs. Like a doomed star falling into a stellar black hole, he stumbled toward the bed, dropped onto his knees, and clamped his mouth on her naked pussy.

Grabbing her around her hips, Gerald used his strength to push her vee up against his mouth almost as if he were trying to eat her. He latched onto her sweet snatch like a limpet on a rock in an intertidal pool. He French-kissed her pussy lips with the same passion as normally French-kissed her mouth.

Gerald lashed his tongue up and down her labia, sticking his tongue into her as far as he could go. She was wet with excitement. She tasted good.

Gerald sucked her clitoris. Aiko squirmed; she moaned with pleasure. Once more he focussed on her lower lips, paying special lingual attention to each individual fold of her labia. He tried to again to put her pussy inside his mouth, savouring each and every contour of hot, smooth sexual parts. Every time he stuck his tongue into her vaginal opening, he relished the taste of her sexual juices. He lapped at her eagerly. He did not want to lose a single drop of her feminine liqueur.

His whole world seemed to centre on her bald hot spot. "Give me more," he mumbled almost to himself. "This tastes so good. Give me more!" he said more loudly. "Cum in my mouth."

He resumed limpet-like suction. Nothing could feel and taste better than the hairless gourmet pie in his mouth.

Gerald's sudden, vigorous ardour initially caught Aiko by surprise, but only for an instant. She welcomed his ardour. She showed her eagerness by pulling his head into her love nest. She flexed her hips upwards as if she were trying to swallow his tongue with her vaginal mouth. She enjoyed her husband's exceptionally skilful mouth and tongue, but she enjoyed even more his lustful, unrestrained passion for her.

Aiko felt her body submit to his erotic assault. She gasped and groaned in pleasure. Tremors of pleasure coursed through her body. Soon she would capitulate to her man; she would let him completely have his way with her.

She heard his demand to cum in his mouth as he feverishly worked between her legs. What started off as tremo turned into a massive orgasmic earthquake that shook her entire body.

Once her climax passed, Aiko flopped back, spent. Her breathing was heavy. Her eyes were closed. She was as much surprised by her own sudden ardour as she was by his.

Gerald's mouth fell away from her love triangle, but only for a moment. She felt the bed move. The head of his rock-hard penis enter her soaking-wet womb. It went in easily, and deeply, into her eager body.

Gerald's lustful penetration caused her passion to surge once again. She was multi-orgasmic. Having just had one orgasm, she was ready, willing and wanting more. She undulated her pelvis in an effort to travel up and down his shaft. He pumped into her vigorously. Both were primed. Both knew another big O was the horizon. And it came, for both of them this time.

"I thought you might like to see my pussy completely shaven," she said finally, "but I had no idea it would turn you into a horny super-stud."

"I learned something new about myself," he said. "I love pussy, but I love naked pussy even more. I'm hungry for pussy. I am a gourmet for bald pussy, especially yours."

* * *

A few days later, Aiko told Gerald she had another surprise.

"I hope you don't mad at me," she said in a way that was reminiscent of Aiko's confession about her first anal experience.

"Get mad at you! Whatever for? I'm incapable of getting mad at you. I'm a sucker for you, my love."

"Gerald, you're so sweet. I don't think there is a sweeter man in the whole world."

"Of course I am," he said, "but that's the effect you have on me. Now, Aiko out with your surprise. I'm curious to hear."

"Do you remember the time when we tried to contact some couples to explore a swinging relationship?" Aiko asked.

"Yes, I do," he replied. "That about two years. We met one couple but it didn't work out. The guy was a jerk and the wife unwilling."

"And the other one never replied. We got discouraged, or rather I got discouraged," she added. "And so we decided to give up on it for a while."

"Yeah, we got preoccupied by other things as I recall. Then we met our four swinging friends. We had neither the time nor the inclination to look for other swinging couples since then."

"That's right." Aiko confirmed. "Well, here's the surprise. We just got an email from this second couple."

"No kidding! Why now? What did they have to say for themselves?" he enquired.

"That's an interesting story in itself," she said. "Apparently, they were about to reply to our email when they suddenly received job offers in the Emirates. He's an engineer; she's a teacher. A manager working for his company in Dubai quit. His boss asked him to fill the vacancy and even found a job for his wife. The money was too good to refuse; they needed it to put their kids through college. This job also gave him a golden opportunity to show his company he was good management material. They had short notice. They packed up their bags and off they went for a two-year stint in Dubai."

[Ramesh_Rocky]

"Okay," Gerald stretched out the word. "So far lots of preliminaries but nothing on the heart of the matter."

"Don't be so impatient, hon," she chided. "It does get more interesting."

"And you like to keep me in suspense too," he chuckled.

"Women like the build-up," she smiled. "Guys prefer to get straight to the point."

"True," he agreed. It's like our love life. I've got the point but I can only make it if I pay attention to the build-up.

Aiko flushed ay his sexual innuendo.

"Okay, have your fun," Gerald added.

"Anyway," she continued. "It didn't make sense to them to reply when they knew they would be away for two years. As it turned out, they didn't have the time to follow up on our email."

"Fair enough," Gerald confirmed, "I probably would have done the same in a similar situation."

"There was another complication," Aiko continued. "When they started to look for couples on the Internet to swing with, it hadn't occur to them specify what country they lived in. So they got replies from several countries."

"Hold on here, Aiko. You're losing me. Let me catch up. You're saying they live in another country? What country?"

"They lived in India. Mumbai is their hometown."

"India!" he guffawed.

"And my original email had talked about meeting them in a neutral location," she laughed. "They're in India. We're in Canada. So I guess we would have had to arrange our get-acquainted luncheon somewhere in Europe!"

"So what happened?" Gerald was curious.

"Our email with the pictures arrived the day before they left for the Emirates. They read it and realized their mistake but had no time to contact us. So they decided to leave our email unanswered."

"That's understandable, hon. They got priorities straight. Family and career are more important than fun with people they hardly know." He paused. "I assume they returned to Mumbai," he added.

"Well, yes and no." Aiko replied enigmatically. "As soon as he returned home, his company gave a big promotion. His boss asked him to head up the company's operations, right here, in our hometown!"

"That is very interesting, my love. Have you replied to them?" he asked.

"No, I haven't," she said. "I wanted to talk to you about it first."

"Did they send pictures?" he enquired.

"Not right away," Aiko replied. "I asked for a picture. Here it is."

Aiko showed him the picture.

"Nice looking couple. They look like Indians," he observed in one of his attempts at dry humour.

"Of course they do, silly." She stopped herself when she realized he was pulling her leg.

"Are we still interested?" asked Gerald smiling.

"I am. Are you?"

"Sure, why not? There's nothing to lose and maybe something to gain," he said.

"I thought you might," she said. "I drafted an email but I didn't want to send it unless you gave me the okay."

Aiko returned to the computer, made some minor changes, and then sent email.

A half-hour later, Aiko checked her inbox. They had already replied. She printed a copy for Gerald to read. He was watching an action movie.

"I got a reply," she announced. " I also asked them to give me a general idea of where they live so I could suggest a place for us to meet. They did and I've come up with a restaurant. Is Saturday for lunch okay, hon?"

"Yes dear. I'm okay with that."

The reply was almost immediate. Although they were too new to the city to know where the restaurant was located, they assured Aiko they would find the directions on the Internet.

* * *

Aiko and Gerald arrived early. They chose a table that was both relatively private and allowed them to watch the front entrance. Unlike the first pair two years ago, they arrived on time and made their way directly toward their table.

From the minute they saw them, Aiko and Gerald could tell that they were a very happy couple. Both were middle-aged, golden-skinned and black-haired with flashes of grey. His nose was aquiline. Hers had a slight hump and curious flair to the nostrils which seemed to appear only in people of Indian descent. Both showed signs of developing a little extra flesh but still looked very healthy.

Gerald found the woman's dark shining, sensuous eyes particularly alluring. In comparison with Aiko, she was voluptuous. Although Aiko had filled out over the years, she was relatively thin in comparison to the Indian woman approaching them. His attraction to Aiko was and continued to be something very special. The Indian woman hung onto her husband's arm.

[Ramesh_Rocky]

For her part, Aiko liked the way the man seem to exude quiet strength and confidence. His face was square and chiselled. He sported a moustache. He was quite handsome.

"My name is Rajiv. And this is my wife, Binal." His head swayed a little like a cobra, an unusual gesture found only in India.

"Hi," she said shyly.

"This my wife, Aiko, and I'm Gerald. Won't you sit down?"

"Thank you. I apologize for ignoring your email for so long. We weren't trying to be rude." His English was not only good but he managed to keep his clipped accent under control.

"That's okay," Aiko said. She already had a good impression of them. "I explained the circumstances to my husband."

Although they had exchanged some very basic information about themselves through their email exchanges, the couples soon fell into a rhythm of talking about their backgrounds, families, careers interests. They may have a world apart geographically but now they found much in common.

"So where are your children now?" Aiko asked.

Rajiv answered. "They are a few months away from attending university. We made arrangements for them to stay with their aunt, my wife's sister."

Rajiv went on to explain that Binal had had a difficult birth after the second child. The doctors believed she was no longer able to have more children, and if she were able, would have advised her against it. Rajiv explained he decided on a vasectomy to remove the risk of pregnancy entirely.

Aiko changed the subject. "I'm always curious about what people's names mean. Do yours having meaning?"

Rajiv looked at this wife. Clearly, he wanted her to join the conversation. Both Aiko and Gerald liked that about Rajiv. He treated like an equal. They were not the negative stereotyped Indian couple in which the men treated their women as second-class citizens.

Binal understood her husband's intent.

"Rajiv means lotus flower in the Marathi language," she said. "And my name means princess."

By the time dinner had arrived, they were felt very comfortable with each other. When the waiter left their table, Aiko asked what experience they had in swinging because they had not mentioned swinging except in the context of being interested in it. She directed her question to Binal, woman to woman.

Binal avoided eye contact, then looked toward her husband.

"I'm sorry," Aiko said. "I guess I was a little too direct."

"She's very shy," Rajiv interjected. "No, we've not swung before," he added. "Once we decided to try it, we didn't get the chance! And I do mean 'we'. I won't force my wife into anything. She's too dear to me."

"I'm sorry," Aiko said again, this time patting her on her hand.

"It's okay," she replied, "but what he said is true. He's not forcing me into this. Rajiv is the only man I've ever known... You know what I mean."

"I do," Aiko said, patting her hand again. "I understand."

Without getting into great detail, they told the Indian couple about their swinging adventures, including about their special friendship with two other couples that involved no use of condoms.

The meal was long over when Gerald said, "So now you two have something to think about," Gerald said. "I suggest you talk to each other and decide whether swinging is something you really want to do. Aiko and I think you are very nice people. We would be interested in having you as friends even if you decide you don't want to swing."

Aiko nodded her assent. "Let us show you around the city. You leave your car here. We'll drive you around for an hour or two and bring back here."

"Well, thank you. That's very kind of you," Rajiv said. "Binal?"

She nodded her agreement.

"We really like you two." Gerald said when they had returned to their own car. "Whether as friends with benefits or just friends, please call us." He gave them their telephone number.

* * *

Two weeks later, the phone rang. Aiko picked it up. It was Binal.

Gerald only heard one side of the conversation but he could tell that they would soon see them as guests in their home.

Aiko smiled. I invited them over for a barbecue next Saturday afternoon. That's okay, right?"

"Of course it is, dear," he replied. "It sounded like you were on the phone with Binal."
