At least a month after our fun with our single guy Dan, we ventured back on the swinger’s web site looking for a friend to play with on an upcoming free Saturday night. Sadly, Bob and Molly were unavailable as were our six-way friends Brad and Jo and John and Samantha. We saw that Bill and Sherry were already taken for the evening and we really weren’t in the mood for a three-way so both Dan and Sandra were out. once again, if this swinging thing were easy then everyone would do it!

I put out a feeler by putting in our profile status that we were thinking about going to a club on Saturday. This led to the usual deluge of mail from single guys as I hadn’t learned how to filter the messages yet. So, I waded through the hundreds of dudes’ messages and tucked away between messages from two fat bald dudes was a message from a couple!

I opened the profile as I couldn’t tell much from the profile avatar. They looked a bit young but claimed to be in their late 30’s. The lady was a brunette with curly hair, a flat stomach, and medium sized triangular shaped breasts. The guy was an average Joe but had a winning smile which counts for a lot with Courtney. Their profile said they were only into soft swing and when I looked further, they said they were absolute newbies.

I didn’t have any problem with newbies or with soft swing and figured we could just meet them at a club, help them not feel alone on their first time, answer any questions they had about swinging and then if the felt like playing we wouldn’t argue. I approached Courtney with that plan and she shrugged.

“Not my favorite idea of a night out,” she said. “Are you sure none of our friends are free?”

"Yes dear,” I replied. “I’ve tried them all. We are out of luck unless you are in a three-way kind of mood.”

“Nah,” Courtney shook her head. “That’s too much pressure for a night where I would mostly like relaxation.”

“OK, how about we meet this newbie couple, chat and then just relax.” I smiled at her, “they probably will get too scared to play. Remember our first time?”

With that agreed I popped open the laptop and got to work picking a club. Jay Dee’s was having a Greedy Girls Night which we had heard was an absolute sausage fest. Not the best way for a new couple to try out the swinging lifestyle. However, the Vanilla Alternative was having a night specifically for new couples where no single guys were allowed.

We settled on the Vanilla Alternative and I popped off a message to Larry and Cheryl, the newbie couple. A message popped back to us just a few minutes later, they must have been on-line surfing the swinger website the cheeky monkeys! They said they were happy to meet and reiterated that they were only looking for a social with the slightest possibility of soft swing.

Saturday rolled around and mid afternoon we began our usual prep work. I touched up Courtney’s bikini line as her waxing was a week old. As usual I got hard just playing with her, I mean shaving her. Courtney enjoyed my erection in that she tried to flick it with her fingers making me dodge and sway.

We left the teenagers with a frozen lasagna in the oven and a free pass to learn how to murder people horrifically on the xbox. Parents of the year right here! They didn’t even notice how we shuffled Courtney out wearing a long coat covering her leggings with cut out places and ultra-tight see through top. I was in a pair of grey slacks and with a patterned red dress shirt… nothing to see here. Move along.

The drive to the Vanilla Alternative was full of chatter and I wondered if it was because we weren’t nervous and fixated on an upcoming meet. The stress was off. This was a no pressure social with people much more nervous than us. What a liberating feeling!

We pulled into the VA (as the locals call the Vanilla Alternative) and the parking lot wasn’t very full. We had seen the VA full to capacity and then some on our first night to experience a swinger’s club. The parking lot had been running over when we left and there had even been a queue to the lockers.

We tried to guess what vehicle in which our social dates had arrived and we laughed and joked about how terrified we’d been on our first visit. We were totally relaxed entering the club.

We produced our membership card, paid the entry fee, and picked up our towels. We wandered through the club to the lockers and dropped off our bag of tricks, coats, and towels before heading back to the bar.

I ordered a scotch for me and a cappuccino for Courtney. We found a seat near the bar and waited for our dates to show up.

In walked Bill and Sherry with another couple. They waved to us and sauntered over.

“Hey guys!” Bill said with a smile. “Fancy seeing you here.”

“We knew you guys were busy tonight but didn’t know you were coming here,” I replied.

“I, we, wish you were free,” Courtney added.

“Hope you are feeling well,” I smiled at Sherry who laughed.

“That wasn’t my best showing,” she replied. “I meant to thank you for being such a gentleman Alex.”

“Think nothing of it,” I grinned at her and received a twinkle from her blue eyes. I couldn’t help admiring her super shapely sexy legs jutting out of her white mini dress and could imagine running my fingers through her platinum tresses. She had tall heels but still didn’t top Courtney.

Bill had his shirt open several buttons and was obviously showing of his chiseled physique. (Not jealous… well sort of.) Their friends were each about five foot six and the male was a definite dad bod with a porn star moustache. The female had a huge set of breasts but they rested on a rounded belly and her eyes were set deep and close together on either side of a roman nose.

They all got drinks and waved as they wandered off to a table on the other side of the bar. I looked at Courtney and she whispered what I’d been thinking.

“Umm, that was an odd match.” She raised an eyebrow.

“Well, we know they aren’t picky,” I said. “They did run off with us.”

“Very funny,” Courtney said in a flat tone. “Now I’m a tad jealous of the fun they are going to have.”

“I hope it’s dark where they decide to play,” I added and received an elbow in the ribs for my snarky comment.

We watched Bill and Sherry from afar and tried not to stare. They were the best-looking people in the club, besides us of course.

“We could hit the hot tub early before it gets too full,” Courtney suggested.

“Well, I’m not quite finished with my scotch and we still do have folks to meet,” I replied.

“Oh, I had completely forgotten about them! What were their names again?”

“Oh, crap!” I looked at her feeling foolish, “I can’t remember.”

“Not promising!” Courtney shook her head.

“Give me a second and I’ll run to the locker and peek at my phone to get their names,” I suggested.

“Ok, but hurry.” She frowned. “Last time you left me alone here I had to fend off that Asian guy for what seemed like an hour.”

“Back in a flash,” I left my scotch on the bar and high tailed it to the lockers. At the lockers I fished through my coat pocket and found my buzzing cell phone. It took me a minute to adjudicate xbox usage for the kids and then got to dig at the swinger web site to find our dates names. There it was - Larry and Cheryl!

By the time I got back there was a young Asian guy, not the same one, perched on my bar stool trying to chat Courtney up. That was fast! I excused my self to reach across for me scotch and the guy realized he was in the way and hopped up. We explained we were meeting people and the poor fellow wandered off in a dazed state of constant hope.

“Took long enough!” Courtney frowned at me in a playful manner that I knew was kidding.

“That has to be them,” I pointed discreetly at a couple just entering the club. They were holding hands and pressed shoulder to shoulder. They didn’t meet anyone’s eyes and were being led by one of the club’s workers on a tour.

“That was us not that long ago,” I smiled at Courtney.

“We were much more together than that!” She winked at me, “at least I was.”
