When I awoke the next morning, I was alone but I could hear Jenn and Kim downstairs puttering around. I went down to join them and was pleased to see that they had the cabin pretty much cleaned up. “Hi, sleepyhead!” Kim said when she saw me, they both came over for good morning hugs and sweet kisses. I loved kissing them, it was like I could feel everything they were feeling just through the contact of our lips.

“How are you this morning?” Jenn asked.

“Sad,” I said. “Tonight is going to be awfully lonely.”

“Maybe call Gloria, I’m sure she can keep you occupied!” Jenn said.

“About that,” I replied, taking her hand. “What’s your expectation as far as us seeing other people?”

“Well, I plan on continuing to see Kim,” Jenn said. Kim went to her side to confirm that she felt the same way. “I guess it depends on what you want. I don’t own you, neither of us does. I’d say if the opportunity comes along you should take it.”

“I think you should give Megan a call,” said Kim. “And I think you should find yourself a boyfriend, one who is able to deal with you seeing both men and women.”

“That’s a tall ask,” I said. “It will be hard though. It was one thing to be with the others at the party because it was that kind of party and you guys were there enjoying yourselves too. It would be completely different to go on a date or sleep with someone else. I’m not sure it’s in me to do that.”

“Sweetie, I thought you understood,” said Jenn. “I love you to bits but I’m not leaving my husband for you nor am I ready to be exclusive with anyone else. He knows everything I’m doing and as long as he agrees to it, I’m going to keep on seeing other people.”

“I understand,” I said. “I accept it, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.” We hugged and kissed. “You really should get in touch with Megan and maybe go see Gloria.”

“I guess,” I said. I went back upstairs to shower and get dressed.

We left about mid-day, it was one of those blah days in February where the weather couldn’t seem to decide what it wanted to do. We kept an eye on the flight tracking sites to make sure that their flight was on time, a very large part of me hoped it would be cancelled and they’d have to spend another night in my arms.

We stood just outside the security area for as long as we could, hugging and looking at each other. “Text me the instant your plane lands!” I said, fighting back tears.

Kim wiped them away and smiled. “Thank you, Ellie. I had the best time!”

“We had the best time!” I said. “I’m hoping to come visit Jenn in the spring, will I see you then?”

“I promise, you and I will have at least one night all to ourselves!” she whispered.

“Okay!” We kissed like lovers. “See you soon!”

Kim moved aside and Jenn took her place. “Behave yourself! But not too much!”

“Right back at you!” I said. “Say hi to Kevin for me!”

“I’ll do more than say hi!” she said. “Thanks for everything!”

“It was my pleasure!” I said.

“It was our pleasure!” she corrected me.

I watched them until they disappeared and then went up to the observation lounge. I thought I might wait and watch their aircraft take off but the loneliness kicked in hard. I forced myself to leave and drove to my parent's house to drop off their car and have dinner with them.

“Are you okay, Sweetie?” Mom asked.

“No,” I sniffled. “I feel so empty!”

“I know, I remember the first time your father went away to school. It broke my heart. But hearts mend and time heals all wounds. This is only temporary, I promise.”

“I hope so,” I said.

That night, when I was in my apartment alone, I cried myself to sleep. I had never felt this way about anyone and the battle was raging between my brain, my heart and my libido. The past week had awakened a person inside me I never knew existed and part of me wanted to get straight out there and have some more new experiences. Another part wanted to never be with anyone else but them. I was too miserable to even masturbate, I just let my sobs tire me out until sleep overtook me.

The next day at school was easier, I was happy to be busy. I was at my desk during lunchtime when Carmen, the student that I’d met over the break knocked on the door. “Miss Patterson, can I talk to you about something?”

“Of course, come in!”

“Um, who were those women I saw you with at the mall?” she asked.

“I told you, they were my friends who were visiting me over winter break,” I said cautiously.

“Just friends?” she asked.

“That’s really none of your business,” I said, as kindly as I could manage. I didn’t like where this conversation was going. “Why do you ask?”

“Well, I’m kinda interested in having a friend like that,” she said.

“A boy friend or a girl friend?”

“That’s really none of your business!” she giggled. “A girl friend who I’d like to be my girlfriend, if you know what I mean.”

“Oh,” I said. “Why ask me?”

“I saw you at the Oval,” she said. “You looked so happy like you were with your most favourite people in the world!”

“Maybe I was,” I said. “Look, I don’t know if I’m the person to be talking to about this. Maybe you should talk to the guidance counsellor or someone else.”

“But I think I can trust you,” she said.

“I’m sorry Carmen, I really can’t help you,” I said. I wanted to help her, but I couldn’t.

“Okay, I just thought you might be able to give me some advice,” she said. “You’re not the only teacher at this school who is gay. It’s cool to be gay now!”

“I’m not sure it is,” I said. “I was I could help you but I just can’t. That’s not my job and I could lose it for even talking to you about this. You need to talk to your health science teacher or a counsellor or something.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to cause trouble,” she said.

“It’s okay, Carmen. See you later.” She left and closed the door behind her. “Fuck me!” I thought. I texted Gloria, “Can I see you after work? I have a bit of a problem.”

“Of course came the reply. In my classroom or would you like to come to my place for dinner?”

Dinner did sound good and I needed someone to talk to. “Dinner sounds good!”

Gloria met me in my classroom after school. “Ready?” she asked.

“One minute,” I said. I finished up the email I was writing, packed up my laptop and put on my coat. “Let’s go!”

I wanted so badly to hold her hand as we walked away from the school to her car but I didn’t dare. Once we got out of sight, I reached over and held her hand, “I had an interesting conversation with a student today.”

“Oh? What about?”

“You know Carmen, from Julia’s class? She came to me asking how to tell a girl she likes that she’s interested in her.”

“You didn’t help her, did you?” I shook my head. “Good. We can never give advice on relationships to students. We do not ever cross that line!”

“I know,” I said. “I wanted to help her but I knew that was a line. There was another part of the conversation though. She said I’m not the only gay teacher at the school.”

Gloria laughed, “Well we know that’s true, don’t we?” I laughed with her.

“But it got me wondering, what other teachers are gay?”

“I know of three for sure, two women and one man,” she said. “There are four or five more who might be. And then there’s Mr. Bannister!”

“What?” I couldn’t believe it. “Are you serious?”

“Oh, yeah, he swings both ways! I should know!” she laughed again.

“You mean he’s been to one of your parties?” I asked.

“More than one! I had a great time with him and his wife one night. They slept over!”

I was shocked. “Wow! You think you know people!”

“Actually, they were supposed to come over last Friday night! Just think, you could have ended up fucking your boss!”

“Gloria! STOP IT!”

“Not many people know this and I don’t want you spreading it around either! Remember, what happens at Gloria’s stays at Gloria’s!” She looked at me sternly to drive the point home.

“Cross my heart!” I said. Then I thought back to something my father had said. “So that’s why he said that!”

“Who said what?” she asked.

“Oh, nothing,” I lied.

Dinner turned into wine turned into the two of us sharing a shower, then her bed, then her soaker tub, and then her bed again. “I have to go home, I don’t have fresh clothes for the morning,” I said.

“You should leave a change of clothes here,” Gloria suggested. She got up and opened a large antique wardrobe on the far side of the room. “This is my guest wardrobe. A number of my friends and acquaintances have clothes here!” I looked and saw a collection of men’s and women’s clothes hung on hangers and stacked neatly on shelves.

“Next time, I will!” I said.

The rest of the week went well, I still missed Jenn and Kim but it got to the point where they weren’t at the front of my mind 24/7. On the last Friday of the month, I was rummaging through my purse looking for a pen when the slip of paper that Megan from the lingerie store had given me fell out. I looked at it for a moment and then picked up my phone.

“Hi Megan, it’s Ellie. I was in your store two weeks ago with my two friends and you gave me your number. I was wondering if we could get together for coffee or lunch or something this weekend?”

Her reply didn’t come straight away so I worried she might not be interested. Then my phone dinged, “Hi Ellie! Of course, I remember you! I was hoping you’d get in touch! I would love to get together for coffee or lunch and especially for some whatever! I work tomorrow until 5:00, how about you come down to the store and we can go for dinner? We can talk about whatever then!”

My pussy warmed at the playful innuendo so I replied. “I’ll be there! Maybe I’ll pick up a new outfit or two!” I immediately texted Jenn and Kim, “I have a date for tomorrow night! Dinner and ‘whatever’ with Megan!”

Kim replied immediately, “I could go for some ‘whatever’ right now! Have fun princess!”

Jenn’s reply came an hour or so later, “Sorry, Kevin and I were having some ‘whatever’ time! You have fun, say Hi to Megan for us!”

“Will do! Luv U!”

I made an appointment for Saturday morning for a full spa treatment, nails, skin, and a full wax. Everyone I had talked to had recommended that I do it so I finally said, “What the fuck!” and went for it. Jenn and Kim both said it would be a bit uncomfortable. “A bit uncomfortable?” I texted Kim after I got home. “Pulling your fingernails off would be a bit uncomfortable! That fucking hurt!” Kim’s response was a string of ROFL emojis.

I arrived at the lingerie store a few minutes before 5:00 and was greeted by Julia. “I’m sorry, Dear, but we’re closing in a few minutes.”

“That’s okay, Julia, I’m meeting Megan for dinner when she gets off,” I replied.

“Oh, that’s wonderful, Dear! She was quite taken by you when you were here last!” She went into the back and Megan appeared shortly after.

“Hi!” she said breathlessly and she came to me for a hug. “Ready?”

“Yes, let’s go!” I said excitedly. “Good night Julia!”

“Good night Miss Julia,” Megan added.

“Good night ladies, have fun!” Julia said as she drew down the shades on the windows.

Megan and I walked up the street to a Thai restaurant that she had recommended. I wasn’t very adventurous when it came to food but Megan convinced me to give it a try. It was delicious, if a bit more spicy than I was used to. Megan made a reference to my love of spicy lingerie but food not so much! We both laughed loudly at that, drawing attention from some of the other diners.

“Forget them,” Megan said. “Tonight it’s just us!”

“Okay!” I whispered. Twice as we ate, our server brought drinks sent by different men at the bar but we refused them, asking them to thank the men but we were not interested.

“Do people still do that?” I asked her. “Do women still fall for that?”

“No one born in this century does!” Megan laughed. “Most millennials prefer the direct approach.” She sipped her drink, her eyes never leaving mine. “I want to sleep with you.”

Her gaze revealed lust, a desire that was intoxicating. I felt my pussy dampen. “I want that too,” I said. Then I thought of Jenn and Kim and wondered if I should tell them before going home with this lithe Asian woman before me.

“What’s wrong? Megan asked.

“Nothing,” I lied and then I decided to come clean. “Well, not nothing. You remember the two ladies I came into the shop with last week? They are very special to me and I was wondering if I should tell them before leaving with you.”

“Do you need their permission or something?” she asked.

I shook my head no. “No, but I love them and I think they should know.”

“Then tell them, or don’t.” She reached across the table and held my hand. “For what my opinion is worth unless you are in a committed relationship with someone, you don’t need their permission to go out and have a little fun, and by a little fun, I mean a night of raw, passionate, mind-blowing sex! But that’s just me.”

“You’re right, I can tell them tomorrow!” I said. “I know this sounds so dated but, your place or mine?”

“We can go to mine but you might have to let my boyfriend and girlfriend watch us! Maybe we should go to yours!”

“Good idea!” I said. We settled up the bill and left hand in hand.

As we waited for a taxi, Megan spoke, “Is it okay if we swing by my place real quick so I can pick up a change of clothes? I’ve been working all day in these and I feel a little grubby.”

“I have some things that might fit, you could borrow an outfit in the morning if you like,” I said.

“I meant for tonight!” Megan replied.

“You think you really need clothes for tonight?” I asked and I leaned in and kissed her as seductively as I could manage. The taxi arrived and it was all we could do not to ravish each other in the backseat. It was well that the ride was only about five minutes, I’m not sure I could have resisted if it had been much longer.

We held hands as we mounted the steps. I fumbled with the door key and dropped it. Megan bent to pick it up and held my hand as she gave it back to me, “There’s no need to be nervous!” She kissed me in the cold night air and then smiled.

“I’m not nervous,” I said. “I’m excited!” I got the door open and we went inside, taking the stairs up the two flights to the landing in front of my apartment. “Don’t mind the mess!” I said as I opened the door. Once inside, I turned to see her staring at me.

“What mess?” she whispered and she came to me, leading with her lips, her tongue not far behind. Our breathing and heart rates skyrocketed as we clumsily peeled each other’s clothes off and stumbled to my bedroom, falling onto the messed-up comforter.

We started slowly, feeling our way around each other’s bodies and enjoying the voyage of discovery. A kiss or a lick would elicit a moan or a sigh as we each learned how to pleasure the other. Megan took the aggressive role as she flipped me onto my back and hovered over me. “May I taste you? she asked, her voice barely a breathy whisper.

“Please!” I mumbled and she kissed her way down my body until she was nestled between my thighs. My knees rose up, my thighs parted and my heels pushed on her back, forcing her into me. I felt her warm breath on my outer lips and I moaned loudly. The anticipation was driving me up the wall! And then I felt her tongue brush my turgid little bump and all hell broke loose!

I twisted and trashed about as she hung on for dear life. Her tongue was magical as it teased my clit and her fingers moved inside me and found that spot immediately. The anticipation of the evening had me wound tighter than a watch spring and when she clamped her lips onto my clit and finger-fucked me, I exploded. It was loud and wet and wonderful as I drenched her face, her hair, her neck and her shoulders with my cum.

She brought me up, back down and then back up again several more times before she relented and kissed her way back up my body. We kissed and then looked into each other’s eyes. She smiled, knowing that the pleasure she had just given me would be returned in kind as soon as I caught my breath. “Now you have something to tell your friends about!” she whispered.

We kissed and cuddled for a bit and then I excused myself to the washroom. I went to the kitchen to retrieve a bottle of white wine and two glasses. When I returned, she was sitting up, leaning against the headboard and using a hand towel to dry my cum from herself.

“I think you need a shower!” I giggled. “Sorry about that!”

“I’m not!” she smiled. I held out her wine glass and we toasted, “To great sex!”

I climbed up beside her and kissed her. “So tell me about your boyfriend and girlfriend. How does that work?”

“You’ve heard of polyamory?” I shook my head. “It’s like being in a relationship with more than one person, in my case I started dating this guy who was dating another girl. One night I bumped into them while they were out on a date and we went home together. That was the night I discovered I am bisexual. Now we live together in a committed relationship but are free to have other partners. I don’t have to tell them if I’m seeing someone else and they don’t have to tell me. But we almost always do because we respect each other.”

“Do you love them?” I asked.

“Depends on how you define love,” she said. “I care about them and love being with them. The sex is amazing and I hope we’re together for a long time. Can I live without them? Probably, but I don’t want to.”

“I love Jenn and Kim,” I said. I showed her the necklace Jenn had given me. “But they’re a thousand miles away and there is only so much we can do in a video call. So we agreed that if the opportunity came up to be with other people, we should go for it.” I sniffled back a tear, “I really miss them. I miss them the most at times like this. I feel guilty and sad and I wish they were here with us.” I reached out for a hug and Megan obliged.

“I know, it’s hard,” she whispered. “You’re feeling all the feels and you’re torn. Believe me, I understand completely. I was the same way after my first time with Gracie and Ben.” She kissed me and continued. “I’m going to take a shower, you call them and tell them about us and how you feel. I have a feeling they will understand!” She kissed me again and padded off to the washroom. Her naked behind with her puffy pussy lips filling the little gap between her thighs was a sight to behold.

I called Jenn and asked if she could get Kim to join us on the call. I told them about my date with Megan and how it was not over yet. They said they were thrilled for me and told me to have fun. “I love you guys!” I said before ending the call.

“We love you too!”

Megan had just gotten out of the shower and was towelling down when I re-entered the bedroom. She looked at me, her face a question. “We’re good,” I said.

“Told you!” she sang. I started stripping the wet sheets off the bed and putting fresh ones on. “There are these protective blankets you can get now, they keep the sheets from getting soaked. You should get some if you’re going to keep squirting like that!”

“I squirt like that every time!” I said. “Even when I’m playing with myself! The first time Jenn and I were together was my first time and she squealed and laughed. At first, I thought I was peeing on her! I was mortified!”

“It was the same with me and Gracie and Ben. I had never done that before, never even heard of it, and when I did I got so scared something was wrong with me! So I did some research and learned it was a thing that some women do and it’s a good thing. Plenty of women can fake an orgasm but you can’t fake that!”

I laughed as I recalled that scene from that movie where the pretty blond actress faked an orgasm in the middle of a crowded restaurant. “No, that would be hard to fake!” We kissed and sipped our wine.

“Do Ben and Gracie ever get jealous?” I asked.

“I’ve never seen it,” she said. “There was one guy that Gracie liked that gave me the creeps. She was pissed I wouldn’t be with both of them but that wasn’t jealousy. He didn’t last long.” She drained her wine glass.

“Umm, it’s none of my business, and you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to but I’m curious, do you sleep with other people often?” I asked.

She smiled before answering, “I don’t, maybe three or four times a year. Gracie is a little more free with her affections, she goes on a date about once a month, about half and half with guys and girls. Ben on the other hand, I don’t know if he’s ever gone out with someone else since the three of us moved in together.”

“You don’t think he’d tell you?” I asked. She laughed out loud.

“Ben? No way! If he got lucky he’d be singing it from the rooftops!” She held out her glass for a refill and she took a long drink. “But there was this one time I was out with this older woman. We couldn’t go back to her place because her husband and kids were there so we went to ours. The three of us took turns on her until she screamed for us to stop! Seems he cheated on her and rather than bust up her family, he agreed for her to cheat on him for a month! She said it was the best night of her life! She came into the store about a month later, dragging him behind her. He and I were alone for a moment and he thanked me for waking ‘the sexual beast in her’!” She drained her glass again and set it down.

“We went out again about a month ago and that night, she’d sent her kids to her grandparents so it was just me and her and her husband. She tied him up and made him watch us. Then she jerked him off onto her face and made him clean her up with her tongue. He never touched me all night, all she wanted to do was humiliate him! When he was finished cleaning her she kissed him, removed all the restraints and said, as cold as I’ve ever heard anyone, ‘Now we’re even! Are you ever going to cheat on me again?’. He promised he wouldn’t. Then she and I had sex again while he watched. It was weird. Hot, but weird!”

“Holy shit!” I said. “I have a few stories too but I can’t share them. I made promises that I wouldn’t and if I did it might ruin people’s lives.”

“Keeping promises is important,” she said as she pulled me closer and kissed me. “Now, do you think you can make me cum the way I made you?”

“I can surely try!” I said.

Afterward, we showered together to clean each other of the copious amounts of her cum from both our bodies. We had a snack and some more wine and made love again. This time it was sweet and soft and left me both fulfilled and empty at the same time. I still missed Jenn and Kim.

We woke up just before 9:00 AM and made love again. She showed me this thing where we get our hips between each other’s legs and rub our pussies together, scissoring, she called it. I called it fun!

“I have to be at work at noon, and I still have to go home and change,” she said as we showered.

“Are you busy tonight?” I asked.

“Sorry, date night with Ben,” she said. “He’s taking me to a movie.”

“That’s so sweet!” I said. “I remember when my mom and dad used to go on date nights. They stayed out a lot later than for a movie though, sometimes they stayed out all night!”

“I’d like you to meet them, you’d like them,” she said as she pulled one of my sweatshirts over her head. It was a bit big for her but it would do in a pinch.

I watched from the front door of my building as she waved before getting into the taxi. I sighed and went back inside to wash the sheets we had soaked during our lovemaking last night and again this morning. Then I went online to look for the protective blankets she had mentioned. A half-hour later they were ordered.

That night and the next day, I just lazed about and watched movies and shows on my computer. Then I got a text from Jenn including a picture I didn’t know she had taken of Kim and me in the hot tub kissing. First, it made me sad and then it made me horny. Then I thought maybe I should get some new toys, Kevin V2.0 was all well and good but there had to be something better out there to make a girl cum!

I did some online research and found there was a toy store downtown that had a lot of interesting things that caught my interest, particularly a couple of G-Spot vibrators and a thing called a ‘Womanizer’. It was a half-hour walk or so but it being a nice day, I decided to walk down the hill and see what it was about. As I got close to the store, I saw it was right next door to a novelty candy store. I thought it odd that a candy store would be right next door to a candy store. Then I saw three of my students giggling as they exited the candy store.

“Miss P! Hi” one of them shouted. “What are you doing here?”

“Same as you, going to the candy store!” I lied. “I just love some of the stuff they have here and you can’t get it anywhere else!”

“See you tomorrow!” they shouted and they scampered off down the street. Maybe I’d just order the toys online!

I got home and called Kim, relating the story to her and she laughed. “Imagine if you’d run into them just as you came out of the naughty store!” We chatted for a while longer and then she said she had to go. “I have a date!”

“Anyone I know?” I asked.

“No, you don’t. I met her at Pilates, she’s really cute and I really like her!” Kim was obviously infatuated.

“Have fun!” I said, as sincerely as I could. “Call me later in the week and tell me all about it!”

“It’s just coffee!” she said. “Your mind is all the way in the gutter!”

“It still hasn’t dragged itself out since you and Jenn dragged it in there!” ‘Good comeback!’ I thought.

“How’s Megan?” she asked.

“She is excellent!” I answered. “I’m hoping to see her next weekend.”

“Well, good luck! I’ll let you know how my date goes.” She ended the call and about ten minutes later, I got a text from her. “Get THIS one!” it read and it had a link attached. I clicked it and then researched it. I immediately ordered that one as well, the site said I would have it in three days.  It came in two. That was my Tuesday night sorted. And my Wednesday and Thursday as well as it turned out.
