So my wife and I have been together 9 years, married for 2, and we have a very close relationship with her best friend and her husband. To the point where the husband, who for the sake of this story I'll call Gary, has become one of my best friends and was even one of my groomsmen at the wedding. My wife's best friend, who I'll call Britney, has also become a close friend of mine, independent of her friendship with my wife, where now we hang out and attend concerts together even without my wife. A couple years ago, Britney let slip that she finds me attractive, telling my wife that she "definitely got the best looking one" out of my friendship group, which we all had a laugh and teased her about, and ever since then we all make jokes that she's my "other wife" and she will sometimes make very suggestive jokes about us, usually when she's drunk, about us fucking or her giving me head, which we all laugh at including my wife and her husband. I should also point out that I've always found Britney hot as hell, so whenever these jokes come up, it always gets my mind racing.

Anyway, a few months ago, a band we both like announced a concert a few hours away from us, neither Gary or my wife are a fan of the band, so we both booked tickets to go just the two of us, something as I said earlier, is normal for us. What was a first though, is this time we would need to book a hotel together as the concert was so far away, we would be driving through the night to get back home otherwise, we even had to share a room as hotel prices spiked due to the concert and two rooms would have cost an eye watering amount of money. Neither Gary or my wife batted an eyelid at this, of course its fine, the trust is 100% rock solid.

In the weeks leading up to this concert however, people outside our little friendship bubble started making comments about how weird this was. Britney's hairdresser even straight up asked her if we are having an affair after I called her once during her appointment just to iron out details about the hotel and what time we were setting off etc. Britney's auntie was also taken aback that she was sharing a hotel room with another man. We had so much outside noise that we even started checking with each other and our spouses, "is this too weird?" But neither my wife or Gary wavered, it may be weird to other people but within our friendship it makes total sense, there were 0 suspicions and 0 concerns, it would be the exact same sentiment if it were my wife and Gary getting a hotel room together.

A few days before we left we all went for a drink at a local bar and once the drink started flowing, the jokes came up again about me and Britney fucking, about how we're "not gonna get any sleep" and our spouses asking "hey what's that clapping noise?" when they call to check in on us. In a moment alone at the bar together, Britney and I joke that "you know we could actually fuck and come back and flat out tell them what we did and they would just laugh and think we're just playing along".

So the day came, I pick her up, we make the long drive to the city in question and we check into our hotel. I let her have the big king size bed and say I'll take the little single bed off to the side, and we set off to get some food and then make our way to the concert. The drinks start flowing almost immediately at dinner, we're already a little merry when we get to the concert. We drink heavy at the gig, and she starts laying her head on my shoulder and putting her arms around my neck, something she's never done sober, we all joke about how she hates human contact. We start talking again about how everyone found us sharing a hotel room weird and justifying it in our drunken chat, she says how she knows she can trust me and, still with her arms around my shoulders, kisses me on the cheek, and then turns back towards the stage, still with one arm around my neck and me with one arm around her waist. I decide to let myself take a chance and put my hand on her ass. If she objects, I'll know this is all just talk and drunken jokes. If not, I'll know that there's something there, and maybe Gary and my wife shouldn't have been so trusting of us. I put my hand there and take a handful of her ass cheek, and give her a little squeeze. She doesn't flinch, its like she was expecting it. So I keep it there for a while, tapping my hand to the beat of the concert, giving her ass a little smack every now and then. She just continues smiling and singing, still half draped around my neck.

We get back to the room after going out for more drinks after the concert, both very drunk, and we stay up talking a little more about how good the concert was and how crazy everyone was for suspecting anything of us. She never mentions that I had my hand grabbing and slapping her ass for half the concert. Before she video calls Gary and I video call my wife just to assure them we're back at the hotel room safe. Just before she hangs up to Gary she makes another joke like "well we're gonna go fuck now before we go to sleep so I'm gonna let you go". I'm now wondering whether this was testing me in reference to our "we could actually do it and tell them and they would just think we're joking" chat a few days ago. We lay there a little longer after we hang up, but before I know it, and before anything can happen, she passes out, still fully clothed from the concert in fact. I take her shoes off, put the blanket over her, and go off to the single bed to sleep.

Nothings changed come morning aside from hangovers. No awkwardness, no talk about anything out of the ordinary. In fact a few days later we all went for another drink and the jokes continued, and in fact once again after she'd had a few too many, her arms were back around my shoulders and she was kissing my cheek, this time in front of our spouses and other friends. I even snuck another handful of her ass, and she still said nothing.

Did I miss a golden opportunity to fuck her? I guess in some ways we did cheat that night, just not in the act of sex. We have another concert together booked in a couple months, including hotel. But this time Gary and my wife are scheduled to be coming with us, but over the last few weeks it seems like work and life may be getting in the way of that, and it could potentially end up just being myself and Britney going alone again. Do I try again then, or should I not risk it?
