The Fourth Glass

Claire set the fourth glass down and did not pretend it was for later.

Ben watched her do it. Across the rented kitchen island, Elise was barefoot on the tile, still in the black dress from dinner, and Tom had his sleeves rolled to the forearm. They had eaten. They had opened the second bottle. They had spent forty minutes saying the thing out loud until nobody in the room could claim surprise.

No bedrooms splitting off. No one left alone with someone else's husband. Anyone could stop the whole night with one word. Come where you like, but say it. Claire had been the one to put that last rule on the table, and Elise had laughed and said good, because she wanted to watch her husband lose his manners.

"Still yes?" Ben asked.

"Still yes," Claire said.

Tom looked at Elise. She nodded once, already flushed at the throat. "Still yes."

Claire crossed the kitchen and kissed Elise first, because she had wanted to since the balcony three hours ago, when Elise had leaned over to steal an olive and her dress had gaped. Elise tasted like wine and salt. Her mouth opened. Claire felt the small shocked sound against her lip and chased it, one hand at the back of Elise's neck, the other already at the zip. Ben made a low noise. Tom did not move yet. He watched his wife be kissed by another woman and his cock thickened against his thigh so obviously that Claire saw it when she glanced over.

"Come here," she said to him.

Tom came. Claire turned Elise in his direction and kissed him with Elise's lipstick still on her mouth. He groaned into it. His hand found Claire's waist, then her arse, and he pulled her in until she felt him hard through the wool of his trousers. Elise's fingers were already under Claire's dress, dragging the hem up, palming the bare skin above the stockings.

"No knickers," Elise said, delighted and filthy. "You planned this."

"I planned to be fucked," Claire said. "Who does it is the interesting part."

Ben laughed once, rough. He had come around the island. He kissed Elise while Claire was still against Tom, and the four of them tangled there, mouths and hands, the island edge biting into Claire's hip. Elise got Claire's dress to her waist. Tom looked down at her cunt, already wet, and swore.

"On the table," Elise said. "I want to see her."

They cleared the glasses to the far end. Claire sat on the wood, dress rucked, stockings on, and spread her knees because she was done being coy about it. Tom stepped between them. Elise unbuckled him, pulled his cock out, and stroked it while she looked at Claire's face.

"She wants it," Elise said to her husband. "Look at her cunt. Put it in."

Tom rubbed the head through Claire's slick and pushed. Claire's mouth fell open. He was thick, hotter than she expected, and he did not stop until he was seated. Ben had Elise's dress off her shoulders by then. Her bra followed. He bent and sucked a nipple while his hand went between her legs, and Elise grabbed his wrist and ground against his fingers, eyes on the place where her husband was fucking Claire.

"Harder," Claire said.

Tom gave it to her. The table knocked. Claire braced on her elbows and took it, the wet sound of it loud in the kitchen, her clit aching every time his pelvis met her. Elise left Ben long enough to climb onto the table beside Claire, kneel, and kiss her while she was being fucked. Then she swung a leg over and settled her cunt on Claire's mouth.

Claire licked. Elise was soaked, swollen, tasting sharp and clean. Claire got her tongue on the clit and sucked, and Elise cursed and rocked. Tom watched his wife ride another woman's face and fucked Claire deeper for it. Ben stood at the end of the table with his cock out, stroking, eyes moving from Elise's arse to Claire's spread thighs to Tom's cock driving in.

"Ben," Elise said, breath breaking. "Fuck me. While she eats me. I want both."

He did not ask twice. Elise lifted, Claire kept her mouth on her, and Ben pushed into Elise from behind. Elise shouted. The angle shoved her clit harder against Claire's tongue. For a minute the kitchen was nothing but that: Tom fucking Claire, Ben fucking Elise, Claire licking Elise through it, Elise's hand fisted in Claire's hair.

Tom pulled out before he came. "Not yet. I want her mouth too."

They shifted. Elise came first, shaking on Ben's cock, Claire sucking her clit until Elise shoved her hips down and sobbed through it. Ben held still inside her until the aftershocks passed, then pulled out, glistening, and looked at Claire like a man who had been patient long enough.

Claire got off the table. Her legs were unsteady. She dropped to her knees between them, took Ben in her mouth, then Tom, then Ben again, tasting herself on Tom and Elise on Ben. Elise knelt beside her and they shared it, kissing around the head of Tom's cock, tongues meeting, spit slicking their chins. Tom lasted until Elise took him to the back of her throat. He came with a broken warning, and Elise swallowed most of it and kissed the rest into Claire's mouth.

Ben pulled Claire up, bent her over the island, and fucked her from behind while Tom sat in a chair and watched, spent and hard again already from the sight. Elise stood in front of Claire and fed her two fingers, then her cunt again, and Claire came with Ben buried deep, clenching around him, muffled against Elise. Ben followed her over, pulled out at the last second because that had been the rule, and came across the small of her back in thick pulses.

They did not stop at once. Tom got hard enough to take Elise on the rug while Claire sat in Ben's lap and guided Tom's hand on Elise's clit. Elise came again with Claire talking her through it, filthy and fond. Later, robes half on, they poured the fourth glass after all and drank it standing up, flushed, marked, laughing when Tom tried to make a toast and Elise told him to shut up and kiss her.

Nobody left the room early. That had been the point.
