“I’m not looking for something serious right now anyway,” Mike shook his head. “Too many complications. But a friend with benefits would be awesome. It’s been too long, Man,” he finished, shaking his head.
“I hear you,” Liam told him. “Kay – you work with tons of women. You must know someone who’d want to take care of a poor man’s needs?” he joked as she split the last of the wine into their glasses.
“Your poor needs,” she mocked gently and ruffled Mike’s hair too. That’s surprising soft, she thought, distracted for a moment by an urge to grab a fistful of the stuff. Which led to other flashes of thought, mostly involving naked flesh. She shook her head. “Sure, I know lots of women, but most of them aren’t single,” she said.
“Hey – I’m easy,” Mike laughed. “I don’t mind sharing if they don’t!”
“Seriously!” Liam agreed, casually running a hand over her bum as she paused by his chair. If he kept this up, she’d be tempted to drag him off to the bedroom before the night was over.
“What’s the big deal?” Liam continued. “People are way too possessive in their relationships these days. If you’re confident in your marriage or your relationship or whatever, then what’s the harm?”
“I agree,” Kayleigh commented. “You’re adults, you communicate – sometimes sex can just be a physical release.” One I could use right about now, she thought. She carried the leftover roasted beets into the kitchen and bent over to rummage around the cupboards, looking for a storage container. This conversation was making her realise that with all of Liam’s long hours recently, it had been a while since SHE’D had a release. She’d been noticing Mike’s broad shoulders at supper and how the tendons on his forearms rippled when he waved his hands around expressively or passed the wine. It hadn’t helped that Liam had been stroking her bare leg under the table. She could tell her husband was feeling randy tonight, brushing against her ass every time she passed by him, stroking the back of her neck with his fingertips. His fingers had even strayed up under her skirt suggestively, squeezing her upper thigh and completely distracting her from the conversation several times over supper.
“There you go, Mike,” Liam waved an arm expensively over the table. “Maybe Kayleigh will be willing to take care of you.” The two men laughed and Kayleigh joined in from the kitchen, wondering just how serious her husband was being. They’d often talked about casual sex outside of marriage in a hypothetical way. They were of like minds, both feeling that sex didn’t have to be wrapped up in emotions and commitment but could just be a fun activity between consenting adults. It had always remained hypothetical, mostly because no opportunities had ever arisen. Liam worked long hours in a predominantly male work environment and Kayleigh had more female friends than male.
She spotted the container she wanted, deep in the cupboard and grabbed it. As she straightened and turned, she was startled to see Mike standing behind her. He flushed and quickly looked away. She realised that he’d probably been staring at her ass, which had been sticking up in the air and the short skirt of her wrap dress likely left little to the imagination. She smiled slightly as he placed the empty bread bowl on the counter. Well, Liam was always telling her she had a great ass.
