Chapter 166

• The day of the party came. I put on a modest red bikini with shorts and a T shirt over it. The party was about 25 people. I recognized some of the women as Gray's riding partners. They were all in bathing suits. Mine was a bikini and it was probably the most modest. Gray's wife was wearing a little string bikini that showed off a body that should not belong to a woman in her late 40s.
• We were introduced around. Within this group was another group of riding friends. They did not belong to the big group. These seemed to be more intimate friends. Gray explained that these were his buddies. With these guys he did not have to manage the others. They rode as equals not as a group being led.
• We had a nice time. People were friendly. Gray would put his arm around me as he introduced me. He'd flirt with me and make comments to others and Kyle about how hot I was. I was enjoying the attention but also feeling a bit uncomfortable. In my bikini, Gray's arms around my waist were always touching bare skin. Sometimes he'd come up behind me and wrap his arms around me. His hands on my belly just above my bikini bottoms. I'd dated guys bigger than my husband before I got married. I'd forgotten how it felt to be wrapped in their arms. In my nervousness I'd look at Kyle but he seemed happy so I started to relax.
