The Unconventional of Ways

CHAPTER 1

Spencer's POV

Sometimes you can find love in a completely unconventional way. It throws us through loops and curves and turns our lives upside down. In the end it always has a way of working out, but that doesn't mean it isn't hard to get there. My name is Spencer Carlin; I'm 27 and have been with Carmen for about five years now. We got engaged over two years ago. At first we were really excited about it, but now it seems that she isn't interested in the planning anymore. We don't even have a date set yet.

That's what I am trying to do with her right now; set a date. Carmen and I are sitting on the couch. I have both of our date books out trying to find a date for the wedding.

"How about August 8th?"

"What day is that?"

"A Friday."

"I guess that's cool."

"You guess? Carm this is our wedding we are talking about. I don't want guesses. I want a definitely," she is starting to aggravate me. Lately the lack of enthusiasm in planning has been driving me insane, she was the one who proposed in the first place. I can tell something is up. I call her out on her recent shit. "Honey, what's been going on with you? Ever since we started planning, you have been distant. Almost like you don't want to go through with this anymore."

"Spence, I do, I do want to marry you but when we started planning it was sinking in and it was all just so real you know? Like together forever. You have been the only person I have ever been with sexually. I feel like I have sewn my "wild oats." I haven't even slept with a guy before and I feel like if I am truly going to commit to us and this marriage that I want to do those things first."

I love her. Only Carmen can be this honest with me. I feel guilty in some ways. I met her when she was in her first year of college. She was a student and I was a grad student working on becoming a media specialist, by the way, that's just the more modern way of saying librarian. I can't help that I love to read. Anyway, it was love at first site. Carmen didn't even think she was gay before she met me. I was her first girlfriend her first everything. And well, she wasn't mine. I had just left my fiancé at the time. He was a great guy and I tried so hard to love him but he wasn't what I wanted; he wasn't a woman. I know what it's like to be with a man I know what it is like with other people. Even though she isn't missing much I feel like I am robbing her of her college years where you can fuck up and there are no worries. Part of me feels like she should sew her wild oats so she won't turn her back and cheat on me when we are married.

"Okay, Carm, what do you suggest we do about this?"

"There is this site, we can sign up as a couple and find another couple to have an experience with. That way I know what it would be like to be with another man and woman and get it over with in one shot and move on with our lives."

"Boy, you've thought about this for a while haven't you?"

"Sort of… I just didn't want to hurt you."

"It's okay all I ever want is for you to be honest with me. You know I don't ever want to sleep with another man again right?"

"You won't have to, that's what the other woman is for so you can be occupied too."

"Alright, let's check out the site. I'm not promising anything but what harm could it do. If other people can have a swinging life style and still stay together I don't see why we couldn't try it just for one night?"

Ashley's POV

My marriage is drifting apart. I married my high school sweetheart Aiden. We were young and in love but soon after we got married I realized he was just more of a best friend than someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life being intimate with.

The thing is lately I have kind of been fantasizing about being with a woman. I mean I have always found them attractive but these dreams I have been having are intense and fucking hot.

Aiden just rolled off of me after we just had mediocre sex. "Ash, that was friggin amazing. You are like a maniac in the bed."

I didn't have the heart to tell him that I was thinking about the new receptionist at the studio. She's banging. "What do you think about bringing another person in bed, to maybe spice things up?"

"Am I not good enough?" He said with a little chuckle. I'm not really sure if I am treading in dangerous waters right now.

"No, it's not that. I was thinking that it might be different if maybe we invited another woman into the mix."

"Oh my God, Ash, that is so fucking hot." He gets on top of me and I feel his erection on my thigh. Is it wrong to think 'ew, gross' when it's my husband? He starts ravaging my body and places himself inside of me. "It's always been a fantasy of mine to be with two woman, it's just awesome that you want to try something like this too."

Uh, all boys are the same. "It might be fun. So how do you want to go about finding another woman?" Do I just go up the receptionist and be like 'Hey my husband and I want a threesome with you?'

"There is this site I've seen for swingers. There are a ton of people on it, I bet we can find someone that suits our needs."

"Didn't think you put that much thought into it already."

"Well, you know I just stumbled upon it one time when I was surfing the net." Riiiiight, just stumbled on it when you were looking at porn is more like it. "We can start a profile if you want right now."

"Relax sparky, it's like midnight. How about we look at it TOGETHER tomorrow after dinner."

"Sure thing baby, anything you want. This is going to fucking great."
