What A Married Couple Who Wanted To Fuck Me Taught Me About Love

“Was I being groomed to give away my virginity to a couple I barely knew? Was this coworker actually my friend, or an opportunist?”

I was in my early 20s when I accepted a job as a commissioned sales associate at a luxury department store. About a month into this position an older man named Ken joined the team, and we latched onto each other almost immediately. Our friendship served as a gateway for me to delve into the world of swinging and open relationships, as well as come face to face with the outdated and optional norms of monogamy in this present day.

I was still a virgin at the time, and I had absolutely no idea that there was a term created for couples who had sex with other people, all while being okay with it! Truthfully, my wet-behind-the-ears innocent self didn’t even know there was such a thing. But once I caught a glimpse of my new coworker’s wife the antics began.

My older friend and I worked at the upscale department store in a small mall, and his wife was the store manager at the Ann Taylor that was positioned one floor down from us. I still remember when Ken and I were chatting on a slow sales day and his wife walked out of her store with a clipboard. She was giving orders to an employee while outfitted in knee-length high-heeled boots and a flirty dress.
