We followed the others through the narrow room containing the dining table and chairs, but instead of taking the stairway on the left, Barry and Annette led us through a door on the right.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of Devonne's tight ass as she walked in front of me. Shit, I so wanted to fuck Devonne, preferably first. But I still had a feeling that Annette would claim me before that could happen.

"So" Barry asked as we entered a spacious rectangular room, "What do you think? Neat, eh?"

I was surprised at what greeted us as we entered. Barry and Annette had certainly put a lot of thought into their 'playroom'.

"Wow, Barry!" Derek exclaimed, "This is unreal! How did.."

Before Derek could continue, Barry interrupted.

"Well, Derek, we found that the garage was really too big for us. It runs the whole length of the house, and I'm really not an automobile enthusiast, if you know what I mean. So, we blocked off the back half, and made this little place."

Barry then explained how he had industry contacts through his job, and he'd got most of the work done for a really good price.

"To finish things off, we had to engage someone, who, you know, understands our lifestyle, you know what I mean? Some of the furniture we had to get custom made."

Well, his erotic playroom consultant (was that even a fucking job???) seemed to know their shit.

I could see that there was a sliding doorway to a small bathroom on the back wall, next to an exposed glass-fronted oval double shower. The shower was completely open to the room. There were two shower heads, four people could shower at the same time comfortably.

The long wall opposite the entrance had a small round stage in the far corner. There was a silver metal pole that ran from the floor to the ceiling. The stage looked like you could fit two people on it.

A few feet along from the stage was a very long leather couch, well, two actually, split by a small white table. The overall setup was semi-circular so you could take in the stage and the rest of the room.

The far wall to our right housed a small bar. Behind that there was a square panel that had some lights and switches on it. There were four black and white barstools facing the bar, which had a cabinet at the back holding a selection of liquor bottles, and there was also a small square glass- fronted refrigerator in which I could see bottles of beer and wine.

I glanced up and saw a projector suspended a few inches from the ceiling. It pointed back towards to the wall next to where we'd just entered.

The floor, which was tiled in stone and felt warm, contained a series of four rectangular, I guess you would call them mattresses, covered in a black PVC type material. One was bigger than the other three, about twice the size of the others actually. The bigger one would take four people I reckoned, while the others seemed to be set up for couples. Maybe you'd get three on at a push. For sure they'd handle a spit-roast. The mattresses, if that's what you'd call them, were spread out so that they weren't too close together.

There was another three-seater sofa, which matched the others in style but was straight, immediately to the right of the door we'd just entered. People could sit and watch any action taking place on the mattresses from pretty much any of the seating positions.

I wondered the max amount of people that would fit in here for an orgy. I would think around a dozen, maybe.

I saw a movement to my right as Annette picked up a remote control from a table next to the small sofa. She looked over at Barry.

"Barry? Blue?"

"I guess that'll work, honey," Barry replied.

Annette pressed a button and the lighting dimmed from a sterile white through pink and lilac to a calmer, dimmer, blue-tinged shade.

Barry cleared his throat.

"OK, everyone, take a seat, and Annette will explain how we like to do things here."

Barry waved his hand towards the circular couch setup.

With the exception of Barry and Annette, we all walked over and sat down. I sat down next to Louise, who was next to Devonne. We sat three and three, separated by the small table. On the other side of the table, there was Julie, then Derek and Vee who were on her far side.

"OK, let me explain how we do things," Annette smiled.

"First, boundaries. Julie and Devonne, thank you so much for your email yesterday. Obviously you know that we others are all members of the same online forum, so if we've done our homework, we all know what WE like. Everyone here tonight is bisexual."

Derek looked over at me and gave me a knowing stare. I swallowed.

"Even on less black-and-white topics, not everyone is into everything, so the best way to work things out is to ask, and ALWAYS get verbal consent. No, means no. OK? And of course, everyone is dying to have sex with Devonne, so we have no-one with trans issues. So that means everyone tonight should be totally compatible. Which makes such a big difference to these affairs!"

Julie and Devonne giggled.

Barry then took up the conversation. It hadn't quite turned into a lecture, but it had that kind of vibe.

"Everything takes place in this room, in the open. And to get things started, we play 'Take a chance'."

Louise put her hand on my thigh. I looked at her with a kind of confused look, and she looked back at me and smiled.

What the fuck was 'Take a chance'?? I wondered. Before I wondered for too long, Barry started to explain.

"OK, so tonight it's all couples. We start with a simple swap. Well, I don't think there's ever a simple swap, if you know what I mean?" Barry laughed.

"At first we split into two groups of four. Annette, honey, the bar," Barry pointed.

Annette walked over to the bar.

"By the way," Barry continued, "You need a drink? Help yourselves. Anything you want. But after we start things off. I'm pretty excited, drinks can wait!"

Barry waited until Annette positioned herself behind the bar before continuing.

"Now, this will be easy, because there's four couples tonight. As Julie and Devonne, and Louise and Ron are new, one of you gets to go first. Julie, Louise, who would like to go first?"

Louise fidgeted, and turned to where Julie was sitting on the other side of the small dividing table.

"Hmmm, Julie, I don't mind if you go first."

Julie smiled and mouthed a 'Thank you'.

"OK, me first! What do I do now?" Julie asked.

"Annette, you ready?"

Annette looked over at Barry and nodded.

"Yes? OK, Julie, here's what you do. Pick one of the following numbers. One, three, or four. You got that? One, three, or four."

Julie giggled, "I think I've got it Barry. It's not that complicated, even for me!"

I was starting to like Julie. She had spunk.

Before Julie continued, I quickly tried to work out which number we would be. On the basis that Julie and Devonne were obviously number two. I thought the newbies would be number one and number two. I was pretty sure we were number one. Yes, we were number one. Had to be. Unless Barry and Annette were one. Shit.

Julie hemmed and hawed, theatrically.

"Ooooohh-kayyyy. I pick number one!"

"Annette?" Barry prompted.

Annette held up a folded piece of white card, the number "1", clearly visible written in black ink.

"Annnnnndddd.." Annette said, slowly turning the card, "Number one, is.." another pause, "Louise and Ron!"

Fuck! Bingo! We won! Well, that was the way I was looking at it right now. Yes!

There was a short ripple of laughter. Barry turned back to the couch.

"OK, so we start with Julie, Devonne, Louise and Ron together. And Derek and Vee, and Annette and myself. OK, let's get this party started!"

Louise turned to Barry. "Ehm, sorry, what do we do now?"

Annette and Vee smiled as Barry replied "Just do what comes naturally!"

Louise stood up first. She seemed to think for a moment, then looked at Barry. "OK, I'll be a hussy and get us started."

Louise put her black purse down, stretched behind her waist and pulled her tight dress down from the back. Boom! As the tight material squeezed downwards, bunching at her corseted waist, Louise's magnificent titties sprang free, her flesh rippling as they escaped their constraints.

"Oh WOW!" deep-voiced Devonne said slowly. "Fuck! Louise these are quite simply the best pair of breasts I have EVER seen!"

Barry and Derek laughed appreciatively.

Louise bent over and removed her shoes, and then got her dress completely off. Julie started undressing next, unbuttoning and slipping off her white jacket to expose her lithe tattooed torso. Her tits were nowhere near as big as Louise's, but they were nicely shaped, although I noticed that Julie's left breast looked bigger than her right. I wondered if she'd had work done. I guess I would find out when I felt them. After my tour of Houston's strip-clubs when I'd worked down there, I could tell fake from real. Fuck, I was an expert. I could do a Masters on boob-jobs.

Julie then removed her micro-skirt, she was panty-less, and I saw her lightly colored trimmed bush for the first time. She kept her white ankle- boots on and took a few steps away from the couch. I stood up, as did Devonne.

As I tried to take my clothes off, I'd gotten my pants down to my shins, Julie headed over and grabbed me. She immediately firmly pulled my head up via my chin and hit me with a long hard tongue kiss. Out of the side of my eye I saw Louise and Devonne starting to kiss as Devonne squirmed out of her tight dress. There was a brief pause as Devonne took off her glasses, then she started kissing Louise again. I tried to seek out Devonne's cock, but the angle I was at, unfortunately I couldn't see it.

"Let's do it here," Julie said as she practically pushed me onto the larger of the mattress/platform type things.

I stumbled but managed to detach my legs from my pants without completely falling on my ass. Julie scratched me unintentionally as she helped me remove my shirt.

Once I was naked, Julie then did physically push me down onto the four- person mattress. I felt the black vinyl type material cold on my skin as I put my hands down to cushion my fall forward. The material wasn't leather, but it also wasn't cheap vinyl either. I guess the key here was, 'easy to clean'.

Julie swiftly flipped me over and I fell prone on my back onto the mattress. Before I could do or say anything, Julie jumped on me and started to grind her already moist aromatic cunt into my face. I started licking as fast as I could. It wasn't like I had any other option.

I felt, rather than saw, Louise and Devonne lower themselves onto the mattress next to us.

Julie had started to ride my face with her cunt. She definitely had a more pungent taste than Louise, her pussy juices were actually pretty sour.

As I pushed my tongue in and out of Julie's slit, on my left side I heard Devonne's deep voice.

"Oh yes! That's it, suck it good! Fuck, yes!"

I wanted to see Louise with Devonne's pole in her mouth, but I couldn't. Julie had started pushing down more firmly and was now wiggling her ass in a sideways motion. Her cunt had gotten VERY wet, and I felt her juices smearing all over my lower face. I tried to focus on Julie's clit with my tongue.

I felt a more significant movement beside me, so I stretched my left hand a little out and encountered smooth flesh. I could tell it wasn't Louise. I opened my palm and started to carress Devonne's firm ass, which was flexing as she presumably fucked Louise's mouth.

I also felt Louise move, instinctively I knew it was her. I was pretty sure she was now lying down, positioning herself on her back.

After a couple of seconds, I could feel Devonne rearrange herself and I let my hand drop. When I opened my eyes, I still couldn't see anything other than Julie's pubic mound jammed above my mouth. But I knew when Devonne started fucking Louise. I heard Louise gasp a quiet 'Yes!', and my own cock twitched in response to Devonne penetrating my wife.

I tried to push Julie up. She realized what I was trying to do and thankfully responded by detaching her dripping cunt from my face.

I looked up. Julie looked down at me, smiled and leaned forward, kissing me at first, then extending her tongue to lick all of her sticky cunt juices from my lips and chin.

She then jerked upwards, and grabbed my hands, putting them on her firm tits. Boob job! I instantly detected that silicon fakeness. I slid my hands towards Julie's firm nipples and squeezed. Julie gasped and closed her eyes.

Anyway, I now had a chance to see what Louise and Devonne were up to.

Devonne was on top of Louise and was pumping Louise missionary-style and had started with a slow rhythm. Louise had her eyes closed. I noticed that her hair was still tied back in the uncustomary ponytail. Fuck, she looked good. As did Devonne.

I was also able to take a quick peek over at the others on the couch.

They were naked. Well, that wasn't true actually, Annette was wearing a garter-belt and black stockings, and still had her high-heels on. She was sitting back open-legged in between Barry and Derek, holding both of their cocks in each of her hands.

Vee was leaning over Barry, her big floppy tits squashed up against Barry's right arm, and it looked like she was getting ready to devour Barry's erect penis.

Julie again grabbed me, ripping my hands from her breasts and pulling me back into her clutches. Then she twisted her heavily inked body round and lay on her back directly next to Louise.

"Ron, fuck me. Fuck me now! Do me like Devonne is doing Louise! Come on, I'm more than ready."

I noticed that Devonne had positioned herself so that Louise had her legs wedged back up in the air, so I pulled Julie forward and with a gentle push I placed her legs in the same position. As I moved Julie's body closer, I saw Louise open her eyes and glance at me. She smiled for maybe two seconds than re-closed her eyes as Devonne kept on fucking her at a steady pace. I could tell that Louise was enjoying herself.

I turned my attention back to Julie and gripped my hard cock with my left hand. I felt the mattress moving more strongly as Devonne started to up the pace. Louise now had her eyes screwed shut tightly and her mouth was open, and she was moaning softly. She seemed to be loving what Devonne was doing to her.

I turned back and pushed my pelvis forward, roughly penetrating Julie's soaking wet cunt with my hard cock. I looked down as Julie's eyes widened, before they fluttered shut. After a very brief pause with my cock pushed into Julie as far as I could get it, I started pumping. I found myself pumping at the same pace as Devonne, completely skipping the finesse part of the proceedings. If Julie wanted it hard, she was getting it hard. I always aimed to please.

As we were practically now all touching each other, I was pleasantly surprised when Devonne leaned over, and while we were both shafting our partners hard, she pulled my face towards hers, before our mouths sought each other's out, and we started to French kiss. There were a few intermediate bumps until our tongues managed to conjoin in a warm, wet and wild rapture. This was getting to be very good.

Suddenly Louise broke the rhythm by pushing her hands up onto Devonne's shoulders. This pulled Devonne's mouth from mine as I was still pumping Julie's cunt hard.

"Devonne, stop I want to go on top!" Louise pleaded.

I paused. Julie immediately opened her eyes and looked up at me in fake anger.

"Ron, did I fucking tell you to stop!! FUCK ME! COME ON!"

She then dug her nails into my ass to emphasise the point.

"Keep going you horny bastard!" Julie growled. "I'm not far away. Devonne will tell you, when I'm in the mood, I'm practically a multiple orgasm machine! Fucking keep going!"

Devonne kissed me again, more tenderly.

"You better do what she says. She's a demanding lady!"

Devonne slowly turned over as she swapped positions with Louise. Louise straddled Devonne, then lined herself up in her 'cum position' before carefully feeding Devonne's she-cock into her pussy.

"Ooooooh," Louise softly moaned as Devonne penetrated her again.

I once more felt the mattress start to undulate as Devonne started to thrust upwards into Louise's cunt.

That prompted me to drive my own cock firmly back into Julie. Then I gave in to my urges, and went for it.

Julie started squealing in delight, and it wasn't long before I felt her body stiffen as she came with a LOUD scream.

"Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuuuuuuuuuhhh!"

It was only then that I realized Barry and Annette, and also Derek and Vee had got up from the couch and were now watching us fuck from a much closer distance.

I didn't have much time to take this in when I felt Louise start to shake next to me, before she too came in a crescendo of ecstatic moans while Devonne sucked hard on Louise's sensitive nipples.

Julie must have felt some hesitation on my part, because once again she dug her nails into my ass.

"Keep going, I can cum again! KEEP GOING," Julie whined below me.

I kept hammering away at Julie's pussy. But the thing was, even as fast as I was going, I didn't feel I was anywhere near coming.

Suddenly I felt movement to my side. Louise pushed herself off Devonne and stood up on the floor. Then Devonne raised herself up a little and shuffled on her knees even closer to Julie and me. Then much to my delight, Devonne levered herself upwards a few more inches and forced her cock into my mouth.

"I haven't come yet," she growled in her deep voice, "But you've made my girl come, so now make ME come!"

I didn't need to be told twice. I obediently started sucking Devonne's delightful she-cock hungrily, still trying to make sure that I kept Julie satisfied below me. This was definitely my kind of multi-tasking.

I filled my mouth with saliva as I sucked and tilted my head slightly so that I could scrape my tongue abrasively over the underside of Devonne's glans. Devonne liked this, she let out a deep Miaow like a cat on heat, which made me flick my tongue harder and faster onto Devonne's sex.

Julie seemed to be getting worked up again, although her earlier pre- orgasmic squealing had now changed to something different. It had become a noisy panting, verging on wailing.

"I'm coming again! Fuck! I am CUMMMIINNGGG AGAAIINN!" Julie screamed, "Fuuuuuuuuhhhhcckkkk!!"

As she climaxed, I could feel Julie's cunt muscles constrict tightly around my swollen cock. Then, suddenly I felt Devonne's cock stiffen in my mouth. I tasted a small tell-tale amount of pre-cum seeping into my mouth from her slit. But before I could joyously take her full load, Devonne roughly pulled her dick out of my mouth.

I opened my eyes in surprise and watched as Devonne started to frantically jerk her gorgeous she-cock. Devonne's strokes were frenzied, and her cock was now bouncing not only up and down, but side to side, the fist pounding her meat close to my face appearing almost as a blur.

I tensed as a first spurt of warm cum hit my face, just above my lips. As Devonne groaned in pleasure, it was a disconcerting loud masculine groan, the first warm splash was followed by a thinner more stringy jet of sperm that landed on my cheek. I opened wide, desperate to take Devonne's spurting cock into my mouth. Another more gooey blob of cum got smeared onto my nose by the tip of Devonne's cock, before I could finally get my target jammed back into my eager mouth. There was one last less intense emission of beautiful salty love juice, which I swallowed with pleasure.

Devonne let out a sigh, and slowly slid her she-cock out of my mouth. Then she smiled at me.

"Well, look at you, Ron! Very sexy. A real porno look!"

There was a movement to my right, and I felt Vee's spongy breasts compress against my chest as she leaned forward and started to lick Devonne's sperm from my face. Vee paused and leaned back slightly then stared into my eyes. I leaned forward in response, and we kissed, swapping Devonne's delicious cum as our tongues mingled.

Vee broke off our kiss, and I felt Julie move under me. I leant back, removing my cock from her very wet cunt hole. Vee looked down, smiled then looked back at me.

"Ron? You didn't come yet?"

"No, not yet," I replied.

"Let's fix that! Derek, help me!"

Vee gently pushed me back down onto the now not-so-cold leathery mattress. She sat down next to me, on my right, as Derek also sat, taking a position to my left. Vee gripped my slippery cock and started to suck me off. She was good. After a few noisy sucks, Vee pointed my cock towards her husband and he took over. He expertly deep-throated my cock before slowly bobbing his head up and down. After a short while, Vee then took a turn, then Derek took another turn, and as he took my cock deep down his throat, I erupted.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh, fuck me!" I exclaimed as I came, my orgasm shuddering through my whole abdomen. My cock twitched violently as Derek manfully took all of my load. Three intense spurts were followed by one slow final comedown pulse of cum as I emptied my balls into his mouth.

Vee and Derek then did a slow lingering come swap. As they finished, Vee purring in delight, I looked up and saw Barry and Annette smiling.

"Bravo!" Annette exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I love a good start, especially when it's new friends!" Barry added.

"OK, Derek, Barry, Vee. And Louise, if you're maybe ready, it's time for us to have some serious fun!" Annette squealed.

"Ron and Devonne, I assume you need some downtime. Take a quick shower if you want," she added.

==

Devonne and I did take a shower together. As we soaped each other's bodies, we kissed passionately. I rinsed Devonne's shapely very firm and very fake boobs, before I bent over and spent some time sucking them. But when I made to move down lower with the intention to once more suck Devonne's delicious she-cock, she stopped me.

"Ron, not now. I need a rest for a little while. I do a treatment means I'm not as active as I'd like to be. Hormones. You can wait a little while, right?"

I nodded and as Devonne turned the shower faucets off we shared a final passionate kiss, then grabbed towels and started to dry ourselves off. Before we rejoined the others, Devonne leaned into my ear.

"Ron, when I'm ready, I want you to fuck my tight ass. OK?"

That was music to my ears, and I enthusiastically agreed.

When we walked back over to our fellow partygoers, the main action taking place was on the couch and involved Derek, Barry and Annette. Annette was facing into the room, reverse cowgirl on top of Derek, whose weird-shaped cock was hidden deep up her well-lubed asshole. Barry was poised on top and was pussy-fucking Annette with some gusto.

Vee and Louise were a few feet along on the couch and were kissing. Julie was smoking a cigarette. It seemed after her double orgasm, she was taking a break.

==

The night progressed. I was glad that my next play involved Devonne. I ass- fucked her doggy style. While I was doing this, on the mattress next to me, Barry fucked Louise, also doggystyle, Louise's massive melons swinging in time to Barry's noisy thrusts, Devonne and Louise kissing whenever our coital rhythm allowed.

I eventually came inside Devonne's poop-tube, this orgasm less intense than my first. By this time, Louise had flipped over to her cum position and a few seconds after I came, I gritted my teeth as Louise had another loud orgasm, Barry climaxing simultaneously while violently manhandling Louise's melons.

After that, Louise sat next to me on the small couch near the door and smoked a cigarette as we watched Derek get butt-fucked on the floor by Julie, who was wearing a very large black strap-on.

As her husband's ass was being destroyed, Vee was otherwise occupied sucking on Devonne's cock over on the long couch on by the far wall. Devonne's moans of ecstasy as Vee mouth-fucked her now re-erect she-cock were once again disconcertingly masculine. Apart from the voice, which I suppose I could deal with, Devonne was perfect as far as I was concerned.

There followed a longer break while we had drinks and some snacks, before we all watched a homemade porno projected onto the far wall. It had been shot in Barry and Annette's playroom, and Barry and Annette were the only people in it I could recognize.

The highlight of the home movie was Annette being triple-teamed buy three guys I had never seen. The conclusion ended up being a bukkake type situation where Annette got her face covered in cum, and by more than just the three guys who had been roughly shafting her moments before. I counted six cocks in total flapping around or slapping her willing face. By the end of the scene, there was a LOT of cum on Annette's face.

Before bedtime, we split into two groups of three, while Julie and Devonne sat and shared a cigarette. Devonne had announced that she needed a break, and Julie decided to sit things out with Devonne 'for a while'.

This time it was Derek who was fucking Louise, missionary on the smaller couch as she leaned back and sucked Barry's cock. Barry was squatted over the arm and back of the couch and was pointing his big dick downwards into Louise's willing mouth. I still had some reservations, I could never completely shake that sinking feeling as other guys fucked my wife. I guess I never would.

I had my final fling for the night with Vee and Annette. It started with them jointly sucking my cock, which was more than good. Once I was hard, I then started fucking Vee. Actually, it was more her fucking me. She jumped on top of me and her pendulous floppy tits smacked into my face as she rode me. Her cunt was good and tight, and Vee had these long hard pointy nipples which I took time to nibble on as we fucked. My light bites were much to Vee's liking.

After a couple of minutes, Vee got off me at Annette's prompting, and I then switched to Annette. While I was pounding Annette's pussy from behind, her favorite position she told me, Derek came over and asked Vee to clean his flaccid cock, he'd obviously dumped a load in Louise. As Vee took her husband's dick in her mouth, I glanced round to see Barry fucking Louise AGAIN.

This made my mind up, and after I'd whispered in Annette's ear and got her consent, I carefully fed my cock into Annette's asshole, ass-fucking her as hard as I could until I dumped my final load deep in Annette's guts.

As I pulled my aching cock out of Annette's shitter, I noticed that Julie and Devonne had left their spots on the couch.

Devonne walked over to where we were and proceeded to fuck Vee from behind. This went on for a while until Derek asked them to stop. Derek then squatted on all-fours, and Devonne took the hint and switched, carefully inserting her sweet she-dick into Derek's anus. Devonne fucked Derek for about two minutes, Derek was also a squealer, before she loudly came in his asshole. After Devonne pulled out, Vee leaned in close and cleaned out Derek's asshole with her tongue.

Barry eventually pulled his cock out of Louise's cunt. It seemed to me like he'd been fucking Louise all night. Louise sat up looking slightly flustered and lit a cigarette. Barry then walked over and linked up with Julie and had the final orgasm of the party as he emptied his balls in Julie's asshole while Annette filmed them using a digital camera.

There was one last drink, then us guests went upstairs to our rooms. Barry and Annette stayed downstairs.

As we shut the bedroom door and Louise made to get ready for bed, I stopped her taking her ponytail out and didn't stand for any objections as I made her suck my cock. When I was good and ready, I pushed Louise onto the bed and fucked her. We were kissing passionately when I came. It wasn't the most intense orgasm of the night, but it was the one that I felt most satisfied with. It felt like I'd reclaimed my wife.

==

In the morning we all had breakfast together. Barry and Annette laughed as they described how 'Take a chance' was a fix. They always paired new couples together first.

We left for home around 11am. Before we departed, we all agreed to keep in touch on the web forum, which Devonne and Julie mentioned they were going to join.

On the drive home, Louise asked me how I'd enjoyed the party.

"It was good, Louise. Very good," I grudgingly admitted.

"You, sure, Ron?" Louise asked.

I felt that she and Barry had perhaps gotten a touch too friendly, but I felt now wasn't the time to mention this, if I would ever mention it at all.

"Yeah, Louise. It was cool," was my final reply.

TO BE CONTINUED
