“Darling, do you remember Leroy?”
Of course I remembered him. He introduced us to married sex with a black man a few months after we were married.
“What about Leroy?”
“He called to ask whether we might spend next weekend together at a resort in the mountains.”
“That sounds like fun. What do you think? Can you get away?
Cindy worked as a fashion consultant and buyer for a large retail chain. The hours were long and it had been a while since she had time off.
“We haven’t seen Leroy in months and I’d love to have a whole weekend together. I think I could get away. Darling, we haven’t had a break for ever so long. It would be our special treat. Oh, and he said he would be with a few friends from his work. They plan to get in some hunting.”
Leroy had been a college chum of Cindy’s. Soon after graduating he married and became a fitness trainer for an NFL team. The team visited our area a couple of times a year and we almost always got together.
“What kind of friends?”
“He didn’t say, but I think he must have meant friends from work. Why don’t you call him and find out more?”
I decided to call that day. Leroy and I had developed a mutual liking over the past three years and I knew he would fill me in.
“Here’s the setup, Bill. Me and a few guys from the team are renting a condo at the resort for the weekend after next. We’ll be coming right from training camp. Two weeks of that place and we’ll be ready to relax. I haven’t seen you and Cindy for a while and thought we might take the opportunity.”
“Sounds great, Leroy. What about your friends? How do they fit in the picture?”
“I thought you and Cindy might enjoy something different. You know, the more the merrier. I can vouch for these guys, Bill. You know the team tests them regularly. Completely clean. They’re real nice, too. All married and well-behaved. I’ve told them about you and they’re dying to meet you both. As I said, these guys are first-class gents.”
Since graduation Cindy and I had become aware of STDs. We decided to see only men we knew, or came recommended by reliable friends. Never strangers.
“How many are we talking about?
“Four, plus me. All nice black gentlemen. I’m sure she’ll like them.”
“Jeez, that’s six of us with me. Do you expect Cindy to take us all on?”
