He eased the car into its parking space, put it in Park, and killed the engine. “Are you okay? Are you sure you’re up for this?”
His wife, Sue, took a deep breath. “I am if you are. Just as long as we’re agreed that either of us can pull the plug at any time, without any argument. Agreed?”
“Absolutely. If either of us uses the word submarine, we make our excuses and leave. It’s almost 7, we should get going.”
They got out of the car, and he fed the parking meter. They were on Atlantic Ave., the Boston waterfront, right across the street from their destination. Traffic was light, and they didn’t have any difficulty crossing to the Atlantic Bar. Right beside the front entrance was another door. A uniformed cop was leaning against the wall and tipped his hat to them. “Evening folks, looking for Noah’s?”
Myc nodded to him. “Yes, we are. Is this the right place?”
The cop replied, “You got it. At the top of the stairs. Have a good time.” He opened the door for them, and they saw the staircase to the second floor.
As they started up the stairs, Sue raised an eyebrow at Myc. “What was that all about? Is this place going to be raided?”
He chuckled. “I doubt that they’d be that obvious about it. This is just a ‘meet and greet’, nothing illegal. I’m not worried about it.”
At the top of the stairs, they found themselves in a large room with a bar running down most of one side. There were tables scattered around, and a couple of comfortable-looking couches against the wall, with a dance floor off to one side. There was a couple at one table, clearly waiting for them. They got up and approached.
The woman extended her hand. “Hi, I’m Kathy, and this is my husband, Harry. You must be Myc and Sue?”
Harry smiled. “Thank you for coming in early to talk with us. We try to do this with our first-time couples. It gives us a chance to get to know each other and for us to explain how things work. Can I get you something to drink?”
Sue answered, “Could I have a glass of water? How long have you been doing this?”
Harry walked behind the bar and filled a glass. Kathy led them to the table where they had been sitting, and everyone settled.
“How long have we been swinging? Or how long since we opened Noah’s Ark?”
Myc smiled. “Both actually.”
Harry replied. “We started swinging about five years ago. One of the difficulties we found was meeting other interested couples. So we came up with the idea for Noah’s. We live in an apartment building not far from here, so the location works great for us.”
Kathy put her hand on Sue’s. “If I remember correctly from our phone call, you two are new to swinging, is that right?”
Sue answered. “Right, we’ve been interested and had one experience with a couple who told us about you and gave us your phone number. As you can imagine, we’re a little nervous and wondering what to expect.”
Kathy laughed. “Everyone is nervous to begin with. The important thing to remember is that this is a place to meet other couples who, like you, are interested in swinging and looking for potential partners.”
“We expect around 20 to 25 couples to be here tonight, and there will be one other new couple like you. They’ll be along shortly, and we’ll have this conversation with them. Most of the group will show up starting about 8:30, and we close the doors at 10. No one is allowed in after that.”
“You lock the doors?” Myc asked.
Harry picked up the conversation. “No, the policeman at the door will just turn away anyone who comes along after 10. All of our regulars know the rules. Which is a good time to discuss the other reason we have a police officer at the door.”
“We do not allow drugs of any kind. If we find anyone with drugs, you’ll be asked to leave and not allowed to attend again. Ever. Also, we don’t allow any disruptive or unruly behavior. What we are doing here isn’t against the law, but we want to make sure that we’re squeaky clean.”
Kathy continued, “No nudity or sexual acts are allowed on the premises. Like Harry said, we don’t want any problems. When the group gets going, you might see a lot of hugging and probably some kissing. When the dancing starts, you’ll may see some roaming hands. But that’s the limit. Understood?”
Myc and Sue looked at each other. “That sounds reasonable. You won’t have any problems from us. So how do people get together? How does this work?”
“Everybody's here for the same reason: finding someone to swing with. Most nights, we have a group of around 20 to 25 couples. Some are here every week, some come only once or twice a month. Some only a few times a year.”
“People mingle, drink, and dance. Where you’re new, if you see a couple you’d like to meet, ask one of us, and we’ll introduce you. But most likely, couples will just come over and introduce themselves. Ask the usual kinds of questions: How long have you been swinging? Where are you from? What kind of sex do you like?”
Harry cut in. “Like Kathy said, everyone is here for the same reason. Sex. You’re going to find that unlike the average cocktail party, the conversation here can be pretty straightforward, and often very explicit.”
He continued. “There will be a few couples who have house parties planned for later tonight. You might be invited back to one. Or you could find another couple who you click with, and they’ll invite you back to their place. Or to a nearby hotel. Or you could just trade phone numbers and make arrangements to get together another time.”
Kathy jumped back in. “I know you’re nervous. But you’ll be fine. You’re an attractive couple, people will want to meet you and talk. Be yourselves. Relax and have a good time. Remember, you’re not obligated to do anything you don’t want to. If a couple starts talking to you and you can tell you’re not interested, just talk for a few minutes and then politely move on.”
“And one thing to remember, no means no. Sue, if some guy gets too frisky or tries to push you into doing something you’re not cool with, all you have to do is say no. If he doesn’t stop or won’t go away, just say it louder so everyone can hear you. Every man - and woman - in the place will be at your side before anything more can happen.”
“This doesn’t happen often, but it can happen. Just remember, No Means NO!”
At that point, another couple came up the stairs. While we had been talking, a man, obviously the bartender, had come in and started setting up the bar for opening. He asked the new couple if they would like something to drink and showed them to a table.
Harry got up. “I’ need to get them settled. Kathy, com on over when you're finished here.” He walked over to the new couple, introduced himself, and sat down with them.
Kathy resumed. “Do you guys have any questions, anything we haven’t covered?”
Myc and Sue exchanged looks. Myc turned to Kathy. “I think you pretty well covered it.”
Kathy stood up. “All right. Your first drink is on the house. Tom will take care of you. I need to join Harry and the other new couple. People should start arriving soon. Have a good time, and don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or need an introduction.”
Tom, the bartender, came over and took their order. As soon as they were alone, Myc asked, “What do you think? Are you okay with all of this?”
Sue was thoughtful. “Yeah, we aren’t committed to anything. We’re here, so we might as well hang around and meet some people, learn more about how other people feel about swinging.”
“I think you’re right. We don’t have anything to lose.” They sat and talked a while and waited to see what would develop.
After a while, Harry and Kathy finished briefing the other new couple and brought them over to introduce them. “Myc and Sue, I’d like you to meet Ray and Kate. As you know, this is their first time with us, just like you.”
Myc gestured to the empty chairs around the table. “Why don’t you join us? We can compare notes. Where are you from?”
Kate answered, “We live in Framingham. And you?”
“We live in Canton,” Myc responded. “What did you think about the interview? Anything surprise you?”
“Only that there are so many couples who come here. We didn’t think that there would be that many people interested in swinging,” Kate answered.
“You know, I hadn’t thought about that. If there are 25 couples here every week and say half of them rotate every week, that’s got to be 100 to 150 couples. And I bet there are at least that many again who haven’t heard about this place. That’s a lot of fucking!”
Kate took a sip of her drink. “How about you guys? Have you swapped with another couple yet?”
Sue replied, “Once. It was exciting - and eye-opening!”
Myc laughed. “She means thighs opening! How about you guys? You have any experience yet?”
Ray looked a little sheepish, “Not yet. We’ve talked about it a lot and we know this is something we want to try but the stars haven’t aligned for us yet. How’d things come together for you?”
Sue took over. “We met a couple at a nudist campground and got to know each other. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew we were all in the same room watching each other doing it. There was another time we were just talking and then bang! We’ve swapped partners and I’m sucking this guy’s cock and watching Myc fuck his wife. It was wild. It was way more exciting than I had thought it would be.”
Kate had a look of total surprise on her face. “Wow! That does sound exciting. How did you feel about watching Myc with another woman? Weren’t you just a little bit jealous?”
“There’s something about being in the same room with another couple when they’re having sex. Most people never get to experience that, we hadn’t until that night. It gets you so turned on it’s incredible. You’re so excited by what’s happening, you’re too jazzed to be jealous.”
Sue looked around and realized that the place had started to fill up, and there was a group who had gathered around, listening to her. A man who appeared to be a few years older leaned in and started speaking. “Sorry, but I don’t recognize you. Are you new here?”
Myc extended his hand. “Yes, we are. I’m Myc, and this is my wife, Sue. And this couple is Ray and Kate. This is our first visit to Noah’s. Do you come here often?”
“Yeah, we do. I’m Randy, and my wife here is Samantha - Sam. Sue, there’s more to what you were saying than you know. It’s not just the physical sex, it’s also just thinking about sex. You’ll get a taste of it tonight.”
“There will be around 50 or 60 people in the place tonight. And everyone of them is thinking about sex. They’re all wondering ‘What do they look like naked?’ or ‘What’s she like in the sack?’ or ‘How big is his dick?’ There’s this feedback loop that happens.”
“You’re watching everyone and wondering about them, and that’s exciting you. And you know that they’re wondering about you. That feeds back to everyone else, putting energy into their interactions. And when Myc is dancing with my wife, when you’re dancing with me and feeling my cock rubbing against your leg, and I’m fondling your tits, it’s just dynamite!”
Kate leaned back in her chair, laughing. “I guess so. Sue, he hasn’t even asked you to dance yet, and he’s already playing with your boobs!”
Randy leered at her. “How about you? Would you like to dance?”
Ray leaned into the circle of couples and looked at Samantha. “OK, when does the music start?”
Harry looked around the room, obviously counting heads. There were now around 15 couples in the room. “I’ll cue up a tape. Party time, folks!” He walked over to a banquet table beside the dance floor and started a rather large boom box. Soft dance music began playing.
Randy held out his hand to Sue. “May I have this dance?” She rose from her chair, and they proceeded to the dance floor. Samantha looked at Myc and raised her eyebrows. He stood and took her hand. Another couple approached Ray and Kate, and they followed the others.
Stepping onto the floor, Myc held his arms up for Sam and stepped up, keeping the usual 1-inch distance he would dancing with a woman he had just met. Sam snuggled in, pressing herself tightly against his torso. He was very conscious of her firm tits pressing into his chest. She was several inches shorter than him and looked up into his eyes and smiled.
“That’s better. Remember, it’s about sex.” She put her hands on his butt and squeezed.
“You’ve got great tits. Are they real?”
“You better believe it. How’d you like to suck my nipples and see for yourself?”
“You and your husband are pretty randy, aren’t you?”
She laughed at his pun. “I think he’s pretty. He’s got a pretty nice cock! How about you?”
Over her shoulder, Myc could see Sue and Randy dancing. He had one hand on her ass, rubbing it, and the other was at her side, grazing her tit. And it looked like Sue had one of her hands between his legs. He thought to himself, “It didn’t take long for this to heat up.”
The song ended, and both Sue and Myc headed back to their table. Ray and Kate weren’t far behind them.
“Whew!” Sue said. “That was pretty intense. We were hardly on the dance floor, and he had his hands on my tits.”
Kate took a sip of her drink. “Mel, the guy I was with was a little more restrained, but it was obvious he only had sex on his mind. He started off by asking me how many men I’ve fucked.”
Myc looked at Sue. “It looked like you had Randy’s cock in your hand at one point. What was that all about?”
“Jealous? He was hard and rubbing against my leg. I just helped him adjust his position a little bit. I thought you were all hot to watch me sucking another guy’s dick?”
Myc shrugged. He looked up as a new couple approached.
The man stuck out his right hand. “Hi, I’m Tom and this is my wife, Judy. I guess you’re the newbies?”
Taking his hand, Myc replied, “Yeah, we are. How about you? Are you guys regulars?”
“I guess you’d say that. We’re probably here at least once a month. Tonight’s your first time here?”
Sue responded, “Yes, it is. Some friends told us about the club and suggested that we check it out. How long have you been coming here?”
Tom looked at his wife. “What, just over a year? Is that right, Judy?”
“I’d say so.” The next song on the boombox started up just then. “Myc, would you like to dance?”
Myc glanced at Sue, who gave a quick nod. “Sure,” and they stepped out onto the dance floor. He took her in his arms. She snuggled in, not as close as Samantha had, but comfortably close. Her tits rubbed against his chest.
“Are you guys new to swinging or just new to Noah’s?”
Myc drew back slightly and looked at her. “We’ve had one experience, exchanged partners with the couple who told us about Noah’s. How about you and Tom?”
“We’re very experienced. Do you and Sue like the same room or separate?”
“The one time we swapped, we had separate rooms. I don’t know about Sue, but I’m not sure that we’re ready to be in the same room yet. I don’t know what she’d think about that.”
“How about you? Are you ready to see Sue with another guy’s cock in her mouth? Her pussy?”
“I’ve thought about that. Just thinking about it gets me hard.”
She chuckled. “I can feel you starting to get hard now.” She pressed her groin against him.
Myc spun her around and caught sight of Sue dancing with Tom. He had both hands on her ass and was squeezing.
Judy tilted her head back and looked him in the eyes. “We’re inviting a few people back to our house for an ‘After Party’. Would you and Sue like to come?”
Myc shook his head. “I don’t know. What’s an After Party? Remember, we’re new to all of this.”
“Oh, right. Well, there’ll be 10 or 12 couples there. Tom and I will be leaving here in a few minutes, headed back to our home in Wellesley. The party will probably go on most of the night. It’s a swinging party, pair off as you want, but we try not to let things get too wild. We don’t want to upset the neighbors and have them call the cops or something.”
Myc nodded his head. “Let me talk to Sue and see what she thinks. I assume that Tom is telling her about it now?” He could see them talking and Sue looking over her shoulder at him.
The song ended and they headed back to the table. Tom and Sue intercepted them about halfway. Sue looked at Myc and said, “Can we talk for a few minutes?”
Myc took her hand and replied, “Sure. Tom, Judy, give us a few minutes, okay?”
Myc led her over to the side of the room and they huddled. “Well, what do you think? Want to go to this party or just go home?”
She looked at him earnestly. “Tom told me that Judy has the hots for you and he has a hankering to get into my panties as well. Do you want to fuck her?”
“She’s pretty hot. How about you? What do you think about Tom?”
“In a way, I sort of feel like I’ve already fucked him. He’s had his hands all over me. Why don’t we go and see what happens? If we don’t like it, we don’t have to stay.”
“That’s true, but given what Tom said to you, I’d say if we go, you’re agreeing to have sex with him. You up for that?”
“That’s what swinging is all about, isn’t it?” She turned around and found Judy staring at them. She nodded her head yes and walked over to her.
“We’d love to come to your party. How do we get there?”
Judy gave her a sheet of paper with directions and a small, hand-drawn map. There was also a phone number. “Tom and I are leaving as soon as we connect with Harry and Kathy. It takes about 30 minutes to get there. The other couples we’ve invited will be leaving pretty soon as well. I’m glad you’re coming, I’m looking forward to getting to know you better.”
Sue headed back to their table and found Myc talking to Ray. “I’ve got directions. We should probably get going.”
Ray turned to her. “Myc and I were just exchanging contact info. Hope you have a good time at this party. We’d really like to get together with the two of you. I think we could have a lot of fun.”
Sue leaned in and kissed him. Myc could see some tongue action going on. “Yeah, I think we’d like that too. What are you and Kate doing tonight?”
“We hooked up with a couple and we’re going back to their house. Maybe the stars have aligned tonight!”
Myc clapped him on the shoulder. “We’ll give you guys a call in a few days and see what we can arrange. Have fun. Come on, Sue, we’d better get going.”
They found their way back to the car and climbed in. Myc started the engine and then turned to Sue. “Are you sure? We can just head for home.”
“Myc, I know you had to push me a little to get me moving on this. It’s true that I was a little reluctant coming here tonight. But dancing - and fooling around - with Tom and those other men tonight has got my motor rev’ed up. It sounds like this is going to be something like an orgy and I’m looking forward to it. Let’s go!.”
