I didn't really know about Natalie's hours, but the fact that Heather and I were so busy made it moot anyway.Then, just after Thanksgiving break I got...a call from Heather. It was her day off and her quick message was simple and to the point."It's tonight," she said. "Get here as soon as you can."I chuckled as I put down the phone. As antsy as she sounded, it wouldn't have shocked me if the two women were already going at it when I walked into my apartment after school. And this time, I. I did not believe him and he knew it.

It was around 2PM when we were finished, so we decided to go for a swim. I was in the water cooling off and my wife was laying out working on her tan. It was a scorching hot day and there must have been a couple dozen guys checking out my wife's body. She did look great in her bikini, but I was still a little surprised at how much attention she received. There were men of all ages that seemed pleased by my wife but it was a teenage boy that actually had the balls to approach her. I couldn't.
