Another memory I have which occurred whilst Jess was having an affair with her cousin Alice's husband Mark. Although I did have the freedom to go out and seek extra marital sex, Jess was getting plenty whilst I was on a dry spell. One day when she was discussing her sexual exploits with Mark, I happened to remark that maybe I should make a move on Alice. After all, Alice is a very attractive woman who any red blooded male would fancy. Jess was obviously aware that I was not getting much sex outside of our marriage so she took pity on me. Jess and Alice were very close and they often had a girly night together, at either our house or hers, whichever husband was out. Jess suggested that next time she gets together with Alice, she will wait until they have had a few drinks and she will bring up the subject of wife swapping and see how Alice reacted to it.
Anyway, fast forward a couple of weeks and when Alice and Jess spent an evening together, Jess did indeed tentatively bring up the subject of wife swapping, she did not directly suggest swapping, she brought it up as a subject of discussion in order to sound out her thoughts.
Next day Jess told me about their discussion. When she asked Alice if she's ever considered swapping partners with anyone, Alice responded with an emphatic no, never. She said, I love Mark and I would never share him with anybody. That was the end of my dream, I was so disappointed, If only Alice knew that Mark was currently fucking Jess would she have felt differently.
Jess told me that she felt so guilty talking to Alice when Alice had no clue that she was fucking Mark on a regular basis. I often wonder if it might have been different if I told Alice about Mark and Jess, but, it would have been too risky. It might have broken up their marriage and Jess and Alice's friendship, not to mention the family scandal that would have ensued. Jess carried on fucking Mark for some time afterwards until she called it off, which didn't bode well, however, that was some time ago and neither Alice or any of our family are aware of their affair.
