What is an affair?

A romantic or sexual relationship between two people, especially one that is outside marriage.

What is a friend?

A person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.

When these two unique couples combined those two words, they give it a meaning that's so dissimilar yet thrilling. Each affair felt different than being with their actual spouse; to be with and have sex with someone else felt like a fantasy that just wasn't real yet it was. It felt like being with someone new and refreshing.

Friends. Affair.

Affair. Friends.

How did it even begin?

Year 2015

Michael and his wife Diore sat across the circular bronze table from their closest friends Edward and his wife Tawantza. The night was warm out, the patio was illuminated by the outdoor string lights with music softly playing from the speakers and their plates were empty, as for the men goes, and halfway eaten for the women who asked for to-go boxes to put away their left over food. Their double date was coming to a slow ending yet they've continued to lounge around and have more glasses of the finest champagne the restaurant had to offer. But there was something awfully strange in the atmosphere that night. No, it wasn't the bad kind of strange, but a good one. It was something that Michael has taken notice of since they'd been there for the past hour and a half.

He saw the way Edward looked at his wife. He looked at her with such admiration and lust. And it didn't quite help with the form fitting, satin green gown she wore with the deepest slit exposing her left thigh for all to see. He knew his wife looked good and she knew so herself. But there was just something about Tawantza that he couldn't pry his eyes away from her. He, too, admired and lusted her. He wondered what it would be like just to taste her mocha colored skin and feel her other than his wife. Will it be different or will it be the same? Those thoughts and his desire to have her is what prompted him to propose an arrangement for a mutual agreement of an affair... just not the typical one.

"Eddie, I see the way you look at my wife. You want her?" Michael's right brow rose along with his question.

Diore looked at Michael with furrowed brows as well as Tawantza who looked over at Edward, awaiting a response from him. Edward licked his lips as his brown eyes bounced between Michael and Diore before setting them on her for a few seconds then reverting them back to Michael.

"I see the way you look at my wife, too. Do you want her?"

The left corner of Michael's lips tugged up into a knowing smirk before replying, "Touché."

"What the fuck is this all about?" Asked a curious Diore, her eyes bouncing from her husband to Edward.

"Baby, be quiet," he silenced her, quickly shifting his eyes onto her before looking back over at his best friend, "let's make an arrangement with a couple of conditions. You already know I'm attracted to your wife as you are to mine. The both of us are best friends and been best friends since college as well as our wives. We know each other very well and we trust each other. I know you want to feel what it's like to be inside of my wife, don't you?"

Both their wives glanced over at each other wondering where this sudden "arrangement" come from but deep down-as they quietly sat at the table and listening-they were all for it. Tawantza always thought Michael was handsome, charming, and kind with a very dominating presence about him. It was something that Edward lacked, but she loved him nonetheless. Diore always thought that Edward had the most stunning smile that could melt her heart and create moist in between her thighs immediately. Not to say her husband's smile couldn't do the same. Edward just had this vanilla suave swagger she liked and she wanted to have a taste of what Tawantza has tasted for three years.

Edward took a much needed sip of his wine and once he set the now empty glass back down onto the table in front of him, he smiled his dimpled filled smile and said, "I'll be lying if I say I didn't."

Nodding his head, Michael then proceeds, "then it's arranged. Every weekend is when we'll swap."

"Cool with me," Edward agreed. "What are the conditions, though?"

"For starters, protection. Pull out method doesn't always work and we definitely don't need one of us slippin'. Second, no sex in our bedrooms. Those are sacred areas. And third, no feelings getting involved. This is strictly all for our sexual desires, attractions, and pleasures. Nothing more or less than that."

Edward thought on it for some seconds not really needing to have too much to think on it as he already was ready to jumpstart his affair with Diore and said, "Deal. So when do we start?"

"Soon. A week from now, actually."

"How long will this be going on?"

Michael quickly glances over at Tawantza, causing her to lock eyes with him and bite down on her maroon coated lip. He sent a discreet wink her way. "For as long as we want it to. Let's just call it... friendly affairs."
