‘Being kind,’ she smiled. ‘I know you’ve done this before, but this was the first time for us.’

‘Never have I ever, done a foursome before…’

‘Oh,’ she said, her expression changing. ‘Really?’

‘Never.’

Anna smiled and bit her lip. ‘That’s nice,’ she said, after a while.

‘Would you like to stay the night?’

She nodded and then giggled as Tom raised his thumb up high into the air from behind Elsie.

‘We’d like that,’ she said. ‘We told the babysitter that we might not be back… until late morning?’

Elsie grinned, nodding. ‘Confident. I like it.’

Anna smiled and shrugged, blushing and looking away. ‘Hopeful.’

‘Shall we take this upstairs?’ said Elsie, grinning as her hand slipped gently across Anna’s breast. The two of them looked across at their snoozing partners in turn and laughed.

‘Shall we leave them here?’

Anna nodded and giggled as they stood up, taking hold of Elsie’s hand. Then she stopped and looked at her in the light. ‘I meant it, you know. I’m so glad we met.’

‘Me too,’ said Elsie. ‘Me too.’

EPILOGUE

ELSIE STIRRED AND frowned.

When she’d fallen asleep she was certain that she’d been snuggled up to her husband, but the man’s whose chest was delicately rising and falling beneath her cheek was Tom’s. She shifted and looked up, finding him awake and she smiled as she realised he had been breathing shallow for some time, so as not to wake her.

He took a long breath as she lifted her face and looked around. Anna was curled up with Cole, his arm wrapped tight around her, her naked thigh across his midriff as the two of them slept soundly in the mid morning light.

She looked back up at Tom, quizzically and he grinned.

‘Anna woke up in the night,’ he whispered. ‘She snuck out to the loo and when she came back, you had rolled over onto me, so she climbed in on the other side and got comfy.’

Elsie giggled quietly and shrugged, laying her head back down and reaching out for his arm, wrapping it around her.

Last night had been amazing. She loved making love with Alice, and last year… being fucked by Ben and Cole had been one of the most intense experiences of her life. But last night had been different.

With Alice the sex was raw and dirty, it was who she was as a person.

With Ben it felt as though it was all about her - and she wasn’t complaining.

But with Tom and Anna, there was something sensual about the way they’d all made love. It was about all of them, being together. The electricity and the chemistry, the temptation and experimentation. It was tender.

It didn’t feel like a one night stand either. It felt like the start of something, that could become more than just a friendship.

Never have I ever… she laughed to herself quietly.

‘Last night was amazing,’ she whispered.

Tom nodded, looking guiltily toward his wife, as though even speaking with her might somehow be a betrayal of trust, despite the fact that she was naked and curled up with another man. She admired his love for her, it was genuine and real.
