to suck him off at the end the other day. Damn do I regret not seeing that for myself, by the way. But for the first time, I got a little case of jitters. I think you’re right. It’s best if we reserve five-on-one for times we’re all present. And…playing devil’s advocate here…we haven’t actually tried swapping yet. What if we do and someone finds out they can’t handle it?”
“Then we’ll discuss and reconsider.” Kate made sure to make eye contact with each of her friends. “I couldn’t bear to break what we have now. It’s a good thing. I think everyone has to know this is a risk-free environment. Everyone’s in or no one is. Agreed?”
Each of the women nodded in turn.
When they got to Kayla, she nodded too. Still, Devon could tell the naturist had something else on her mind. “Spit it out, Kay.”
“What if it’s not five-on-one? What if it’s eight-on-one?” The usually brash woman spoke so softly, Devon wasn’t sure everyone had heard. “And I’m not just talking about the guys’ birthdays either.”
“To be frank, I’m not sure I’m ready for that, Kay.” Morgan interjected before Devon could process the idea of such hedonistic gluttony. “I might never be. Like Neil and his no-BJ rule. But I would like to observe. And I don’t begrudge you the request if it’s something you’re interested in and the other girls are too. Who knows, maybe after I see it for myself, I’ll change my mind. I hope you don’t count on that, though. Is that okay?”
Kayla hugged Morgan. “I would never pressure you into something you didn’t enjoy. But thanks for understanding.”
“This is exactly what I hoped for.” Kate broke the lingering weight of the moment with a huge grin and a clap. Then she ticked off their agreements on her fingers. “When intact couples are together, like me and Mike over at Morgan and Joe’s house or all nine of us here today, anything goes. Birthday girls and boys name their pleasure. Anyone who agrees is in. Anyone who doesn’t feel like playing can stay and watch or leave, no hard feelings. None of us will ever judge. We swear to be open and honest if something makes us uncomfortable. What do you think?”
Each of them took time to really consider. This wasn’t a fling or some crazy college experiment. These were their lives—their hearts, their soulmates, their futures—they were talking about.
“I think it sucks ass that my birthday was last month and I gotta wait a whole year for my turn.” Kayla plumped out her lower lip.
“Ohh, good call.” Kate grinned. “Mine is coming up soon. Neener neener.”
“Lucky thing our birthdays happen to be distributed pretty evenly throughout the year. Otherwise we might develop some chaffage.” Devon giggled.
The women linked hands with their neighbors until they made one continuous, unbroken ring. And with that, the promise was sealed.
“Time to celebrate.” Kayla grinned.
“Does anyone have condoms?” Morgan confessed, “I’m wearing a diaphragm, like Kate said she’s been doing when we play together, but I haven’t been taking my birth control for a while. Mike and Kate aren’t the only ones hoping for a miracle.”
The friends squealed and fussed over each other. In the meantime, Kayla retrieved a jumbo box of rubbers in various colors and flavors from the bathroom and plunked it on the counter.
Devon raised her eyebrows at the mega-assortment.
“What?” Kay whistled innocently. “They’re smart to have on hand for guests in the resort. Okay, plus I figured it wise to be prepared since we seem to gravitate toward my house for our sessions. I swear. Being a naturist is not about getting it on at every opportunity. That’s your faults.”
She wagged her finger at each of them, cracking up the whole time.
“Can I ask a favor?” Kate beamed when the women all nodded without reservation. “Mike is pretty far behind in the sharing space. The closest he came was granting Dev her wish
