Page 9 of Be With Us: An Urban Foursome Love Story

Alice’s eyes flew wide open and she leaned forward almost spitting out hot coffee. As she tried to gulp it down she burnt her throat and split some on her hands.

‘Holy shit, Em. I always figured that one day you two would finally discover a kink, but you’re gonna do a marathon before you even tried running? Maybe let him stick his dick in your ass first, before you let him fuck other women.’

Emilia smiled at Alice and raised her eyebrows.

‘Oh my God, you already let him stick it up your bum? I don’t even know you anymore. When did you become edgy?’

‘Stop it,’ said Emilia, blushing.

‘So what’s made you want to do this? Are you guys still happy together?’

‘Yes, absolutely. That’s a large part of it. It may sound weird, but we’re completely and utterly comfortable with each other. We’re happy, we’re in love, and we trust each other intimately.’

‘Until you fall for someone else.’

‘That won’t happen.’

‘Why not?’

‘Because I love Cass,’ she said. ‘And because even if I did start to like someone else, I would still love Cass.’

‘You fall in love fast, Em. You fell in love with your first boyfriend, and then you fucking married him.’

‘That’s a bad example, because it’s the only example. I love, Cass and you know I do.’

Alice stared at her sister, probing her. Then she smiled. ’Test passed. I think,’ she said. ‘Just don’t be saying this out loud and inside you’re thinking that you want to do this to save your relationship, or because you think he wants to, or because you just want to fuck around.’

Emilia shook her head.

Alice looked around at the other people in the cafe, and then leaned in.

‘Orgies are the fucking best.’

‘Oh my goodness,’ said Emilia. ‘Seriously?’

Alice nodded, laughing.

‘Hell yes,’ she said. ‘In fact, there’s a masquerade ball in a weeks time.’

‘What’s that?’

‘Everyone dresses up in black tie, lingerie and evening wear and you wear these old ornate masks, or quite frankly whatever you can find in the charity shop. You basically mask up and spend an evening mingling with other couples. There’s usually a buffet, theatrics, some musical entertainment and then if you’re interested, and stay on past the end of the night, they open up a bunch of private rooms and everyone gets naked and starts fucking.’

‘Oh gosh,’ said Emilia, leaning forward.

‘It’s not strictly just for swingers or whatever, it’s like a high society thing, mingle with the big wigs, push your business card around, network, and later if you’re up to it, fuck someones husband or wife.’

She raised her eyebrows at her sister, invitingly.

‘Maybe,’ said Emilia.

‘If you want I can get you both tickets? It’s not exactly the sort of thing you can pick up online.’

‘I should probably talk to Cass first,’ she replied, but she was already getting excited.

‘I’ll get you the tickets, there’s no pressure. You don’t have to stay, just go and have a good time on me and see where the night goes.’

‘Cass was talking about boundaries the other night?’
