Love in Troubled Times: MFM Alien Romance

by Gayle Riley

  Aida decided she needed another drink before she began to panic again. As she reached for a glass on the closest tray, her hand came into contact with a larger one reaching for the same glass. "So sorry ma'am," she heard a deep voice drawl. "You take this one. I will find another," he continued. Aida looked up to see gray eyes and a stunning smile on the face of an Adonis. His smile brought a matching one to her face. "A little overwhelming, isn't it? I certainly didn't expect it to be quite like this." His Southern drawl was somehow comforting to Aida. It reminded her of rodeos and friends from long ago. "I'm Stanley Warner," he stated as he reached to shake her hand. "Why darlin' you're shaking. Let me find us a place to sit and calm your nerves. Maybe somewhere off to the side so the happenings aren't quite as noticeable."

  Aida allowed him to guide her through the darkened room with a hand on her back. The first touch of his hand on the bare skin revealed by the key hole opening in the back of the dress sent tingles down her spine. Wow, she hadn't expected to be attracted to anyone in her nervous state, but Stanley's nearness was a turn on. "My name is Aida," she managed to stammer as he seated her on a settee and joined her there. "What brought you here? Or should I ask who brought you here?"

  Stanley replied, "No one brought me. I was invited by the hosts after a rodeo. It seems that they are the owners of the bull I was riding as well as the arena used for the rodeo. I asked them what entertainment there was in this town and was invited for this little get together."

  "You're a bull rider! How I miss the days when I used to follow the rodeo circuit. It was hard at times, with little money, but so exciting and fun. I would do it all again in a heartbeat." Aida couldn't believe she had found a genuine cowboy. Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it would jump right out of her chest.

  "Yes ma'am, I do enjoy the adventure. I've even competed in rodeos around the world. The more dangerous, the happier I am. At the moment I'm healing from a torn muscle in my thigh so I decided some time in Houston where I had a few friends could be my next adventure. Seems I was right. I've found you and with a body like that, you're bound to be dangerous," Stanley whispered as he ran the back of his fingers down Aida's neck.

  Aida whispered back, "Adventure and danger were exactly what I was looking for tonight. It sounds like we were meant to find each other in this odd crowd." Aida couldn't resist opening a few buttons on Stanley's shirt and running her fingers over his hard. muscular chest. Stanley reciprocated by drawing a finger down her cleavage causing Aida to shiver and feel a moistness gather between her legs. Stanley leaned in and gently touched his lips to hers. The kiss deepened when Aida responded avidly. Aida found her hand was rubbing up and down his thigh, but when Stanley's hand started to wander slowly up her leg under her dress, she pulled back. "Stanley, I'm just not ready to go that far yet."

  Stanley kissed her again and said, "That's okay darlin'. I'm not going anywhere soon and someone like you is worth waiting for."

  Chapter 4

  Aida was still excited and turned on from the party the previous night. Her dreams were so vivid, she climaxed in her sleep. The encounter with Stanley had definitely put some zing into her life. Aida couldn't wait to go back and take Kenneth with her. Maybe she could use the attraction between her and Stanley to make Kenneth jealous enough to up his game. The idea started another tingle to race through her body causing Aida to run for the phone so she could ask Emily the when and where of the next party.

  Kenneth returned from Dallas triumphant. He had gotten the ranch and surveys showed there was indeed oil on the property. The rich would get richer still. He gave Aida a huge hug and kiss, complimented her on the way she looked in her cut offs and tank top, handed her a long box from Tiffany's and went to pour himself a whiskey. Nothing ever changed. This was the usual routine after a business trip. Jewelry was always the consolation prize for being left behind. She knew that Kenneth meant the gift to say 'I love you', but after so many times, it just felt routine. Today's present was a lovely sapphire necklace that matched her eyes. Aida made sure he knew how much she loved the necklace with a kiss and a caress of his crotch, shocking Kenneth into choking on his whiskey. If he was shocked at that, she couldn't imagine what would happen when she made her proposal after dinner.

  Kenneth headed for a shower and more comfortable clothes while Aida took hors d'oeuvres and wine out to the pool. She stripped out of the shorts and tank top to reveal a tiny bikini. If she was going to convince Kenneth to go with her to a sex party, she needed all the ammunition she could get. The look on his face when he found Aida lounging by the pool in a barely-there swimsuit was priceless. "What's the occasion?" he managed to choke out.

  "Just a little welcome home party for my favorite cowboy. I thought it might inspire us to do bad things to each other," purred Aida. Kenneth scowled and replied, " I'm not a cowboy anymore or have you forgotten my career ending spinal fracture?" He grabbed his glass of wine and sat in a patio chair with a growl. Aida wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, kissed the top of his head and said, "I love you no matter what. Don't ever forget that."

  Dinner by the pool was subdued. Aida poured wine liberally because she was still determined to bring up the party. When Kenneth seemed more relaxed she asked, "Do you ever feel that our lives are just an endless circle? Like we're stuck in a routine without end? I do and I would love to change that for both of us."

  Kenneth was quiet for a moment, but then agreed, "Yes, our lives are routine. Very different from what they were when we got married, but that seems to be the norm for most couples. How do you expect to change it?"

  "I heard about some parties that can bring zip back into a marriage and I honestly would like us to try one. We could just watch and not participate if you would be willing to go."

  "Aida, are you talking about sex parties? The ones where people trade partners? You have no idea how many times I've been invited to those on my business trips. Don't worry, I always say no. Now you want us to go to one together. I see Emily's influence in this. You would never come up with this on your own. Is she sneaking around behind her husband's back?"

  Aida didn't want to rat out her friend, but desperate times called for desperate measures. "Of course the idea came from Emily, but she would never do anything behind her husband's back. They have been going to these parties for a couple of years and it has made their marriage stronger. They're happily married and definitely not in a rut. Please Kenneth, I don't want us to grow apart."

  Kenneth had finally agreed to the sex party with two rules. There would be no switching partners and Aida was not to try and force him into sex on the premises. Aida jumped to agree, hoping the atmosphere at the party would get to Kenneth as it had her.

  This time the only shaking she was doing was caused by excitement. It was Kenneth who looked scared. He seemed better after the dinner portion of the party, but when the lights went down and he caught sight of couples in every corner the shock set in. She plied him with champagne as he watched couples, trios and even foursomes wander into the cubicles. She knew Kenneth was getting turned on when his breath became heavy and he couldn't stand still. Obviously, the threesome on the divan had his full attention. That was probably a good thing. It kept him from hearing her gasp as she felt Stanley's hand on her ass. She knew that cologne scent anywhere. It had haunted her dreams for days. Before Stanley could get too handsy, she turned and introduced him to Kenneth.

  "Kenneth, I want you to meet Stanley. We met at luncheon to raise money for the care of retired rodeo horses. I can't believe he is actually here. Stanley, this is my husband." Aida knew she was stammering but she prayed that Stanley would go along with her story.

  "Nice to meet you Kenneth. Your wife is the hottest woman here, but I'm guessing you already know that. Must be nice to know that she's going home with you." Stanley's Southern drawl was extremely exaggerated tonight. He must be doing it to get under Kenneth's skin. Aida was red faced and hot all over. Kenneth was fully aware of the sexual tensio
n between Stanley and Aida. She was deeply attracted to the man. Sadly, Kenneth could see why. With blonde hair, gray eyes, a shirt stretched tight across a muscular chest, pants so tight his junk was prominent, and a deep Southern drawl, he was every woman's wet dream. Except for the hair color, he was the man Kenneth used to be. Kenneth took Aida by the hand and said, "You are correct and I'm taking her home right now."

  Kenneth far exceeded the speed limit returning home. He continued to pull Aida by the hand through the house to their bedroom. He only paused long enough to grab a bottle of champagne and some whipped cream. Kenneth was quite creative with the whipped cream, licking it off Aida's breasts and from between her legs causing her to climax repeatedly. He even covered his member with it and let Aida bring him pleasure, something he had not allowed for years. The champagne came into play for a second round after a brief nap. Aida enjoyed every minute and yet she felt something was missing, leaving her feeling lonely.

  The next morning, Aida explained her feelings to Kenneth and pleaded with him to continue taking her to the parties. She begged him to try the partner exchange next time. Kenneth feared he was losing Aida, so he reluctantly agreed.

  Chapter 5

  Kenneth was called away due to an emergency with oil rigs on a property in Oklahoma. Aida took the opportunity to find out if Stanley would be competing in the National Rodeo scheduled for that weekend. Her sources confirmed that he would be. She eagerly called Emily and asked, "Please come with me to the rodeo. I'm dying to see Stanley compete and to see if he is still interested now that he knows I'm married."

  Emily wasn't so sure if it was a good idea and replied, "Do you really think it's okay to do this? Does Kenneth know? "

  Aida was too into the idea of going to worry about it being a good or bad idea. "If it turns out there could be something between Stanley and me, I will deal with Kenneth then. Why bring it up if nothing happens? Please go with me. I need my best friend." Emily couldn't let down her friend so she agreed to go.

  Aida felt right at home in her boots and jeans, but Emily was extremely uncomfortable and self conscience. Rodeos had never been a part of her life, but she was willing to try anything once. The dust being kicked up by the animals was another matter and Emily protested as they got closer to the pens, " Aida, I'm choking on dust! Do we have to go back here where the animals are?"

  Aida sighed and said, "You'll live. We will only be back here for a minute. I just want Stanley to know we're here, otherwise, this is a waste of time."

  At that moment she caught sight of Stanley in a group of other cowboys and ran ahead of Emily. One of the cowboys turned and saw her, shouting, "Look at that! We've got ourselves another groupie. And damn this one’s hot!" The group turned as one, but Stanley stopped them before they all went after Aida by clearly stating, "This one belongs to me. Hands off!"

  Aida and Stanley met just a few feet from the group who couldn't stop their shouts of "Yeehaw, sugar!" and," I wouldn't mind a piece of that." Stanley had to agree. In her skin tight jeans and low cut tank top, Aida was a sight to behold. Right behind her came a red-haired beauty who looked like sin in boots. The boys were getting an eyeful for sure. Stanley pulled Aida to his side and asked, "Darlin', what are you doing back here? Not that I'm complaining, but this can be a dangerous place."

  Aida grinned from ear to ear as she explained, "Honey, I traveled with the rodeo circuit for years. I brushed and saddled the horses, fed those big bulls, and even tried my hand at a few competitions. This is like old times for me. Kenneth was once a poor cowboy. We did what we could to stay with the circuit, until he was hurt too bad to continue. I came back here so that you would be aware that I came to cheer you on."

  "Hot damn, a real cowgirl, not a groupie! Your presence should bring me luck, but you better find your seats. The animals are about to be wandering around and your friend looks a little freaked. See you on the other side, babe." Aida gave him a smack on the lips for luck, grabbed Emily by the hand and headed for their front row seats.

  The rodeo was as exciting as Aida remembered. She screamed and cheered along with the crowd. Even Emily got into the action, cheering the cowboys and booing when the bulls won. A few beers didn't hurt either. Emily could see why Aida missed this. It was pure excitement without having to mind your manners or worry about your looks. When Stanley won the bull riding contest, he climbed the railing, grabbed Aida for the hottest kiss on record and gave her ass a squeeze for good measure. He also slipped a small piece of paper into her hand which contained his cell number.

  On the drive home, Emily conceded that Stanley was indeed a hot ticket and she understood the attraction but warned, "You can't do this behind Kenneth's back. He loves you and he has been good to you. I know that you still love him too. Be careful."

  Aida would definitely take Emily's advice. A part of her loved Kenneth and didn't want to hurt him, but she felt she would die without some excitement.

  Aida and Kenneth sat down to have the hardest conversation of their lives. While Aida made it clear that she wasn't giving up on her marriage and that she still loved Kenneth, she needed some space and freedom. She felt the need to move into an apartment and to see other men, namely Stanley. When Kenneth started to protest, Aida explained that she still wanted to work things out with him and that she would continue to "date" him too. She expected to see him at the parties as well. Even though Kenneth was ruthless in business, he was a pushover when it came to Aida. He gave in and let Aida have an apartment and Stanley.

  Chapter 6

  Aida was thrilled. Stanley was taking her out to have a day with his friends. He had told her to dress in comfortable clothes that she wouldn't mind getting dirty and not to forget her swimsuit unless she wanted to skinny dip with a crowd. She was waiting and ready in faded jeans, a t-shirt and boots with her bikini in place of underwear, when Stanley arrived. He gave her a boost up into his jacked-up truck being sure to fondle every curve on the way.

  Singing country songs along with the radio and telling stories from their lives, they finally reached their destination. There were hills, valleys and tire tracks everywhere along with a gang of beer drinking, fun loving people urging them to hurry and join the races. They were going four-wheeling! Aida had never done it, but couldn't wait to try.

  It turned out that Aida was good at handling the four-wheeler and came close to winning a couple of the races. The crowd was pleased with her performance and readily accepted her as part of their posse. Everyone was hot and sweaty, so they grabbed the ice chests full of beer and headed into the trees. Stanley took Aida's hand and led her to their paradise spot. On the far side of the trees was a beautiful, clear swimming hole where half the group was already jumping in. Stanley started undressing Aida as fast as he could, being sure to caress each part that he uncovered, to Aida's delight. When he pulled off his shirt, she almost swooned. His chest and abs were perfection, muscular and tight. As he reached to unfasten his jeans, Aida brushed his hands aside and undid them herself, allowing her hands to roam. When he reached to pull her toward him, Aida ran to the water and jumped in, laughing at his stunned look. Stanley followed and the race was on. He was a faster swimmer and grabbed her by the ankle, pulling her to his chest. Stanley's kiss was long and deep as Aida wrapped her legs around his waist. Body parts rubbed together getting them revved up. The kissing and caressing continued as the sun began to set. It came to an abrupt halt when Stanley's friend erupted out of the water beside them declaring, "Come on guys, save it for later! It's time to eat."

  The bonfire felt great after the cool air hit their wet bodies. Aida stood beside it and slipped back into her clothes as Stanley did the same. Plates of food were pressed into their hands along with cold beers. They found a large flat rock to sit at and eat. Aida was having a super time. She curled up in Stanley's arms as guitars were brought out and the group began to sing.

  In an effort to bring back their spark, Kenneth asks Aida out to the kind of date they used to have, pizza and
a movie. It was fun and brought back memories, but didn't bring the type of thrill that four-wheeling had. Aida could tell that Kenneth knew she wasn't excited, though she did her best to pretend.

  It rained for several days, leaving Aida depressed until Stanley called and invited her to go mudding, making the best out of the rainy days. Stanley let her drive the truck through the muddy fields in a race with several other wives and girlfriends of the rodeo cowboys. Her laughter was contagious as she pulled ahead of the pack, covering the huge truck in mud. As she came to a stop, she jumped out into Stanley's waiting arms and they fell into the mud, kissing as they went down. Aida felt like a teenager again, even more so when she and Stanley made out in the back of the muddy truck. Tops came off and hands delved into unzipped jeans, bringing climaxes without actual penetration. Stanley was building the tension between them at an astounding pace and Aida was loving it. She even managed to get him to stop at a field of cows and do some old-fashioned cow tipping.

  Kenneth called to check on Aida and could hear the excitement and joy in her voice. Aida, on the other hand, could hear disappointment and depression in his. Aida started to consider letting go of her life with Kenneth, maybe a divorce would be the right move after all.

  Chapter 7

  Tonight was the night. Everyone was going to the sex party. Aida, Kenneth, Emily and her husband, and of course Stanley would be there. Aida couldn't wait to get her freak on. She was finally brave enough to wear the tiny black dress with the slit down to the navel that she had bought at the boutique. It would showcase the long-stemmed rose tattoo that started on her right breast and followed her cleavage. The tattoo had been a gift to herself for courage. Spiked gold heels and smoky eyes completed the look.
