After all six celebrating Tim’s promotion, they all gather together again a couple of days later. It is the first Thursday suppers at Tim and Abbie’s home. Dinner fixed by Tim is delicious, and they were having a wonderful time enjoying the food and conversation.
During dinner, Tim turns to Abbie and says, “Honey, Microga is having a reception and then dinner tomorrow night to formally acknowledge my new position. We will have time to come home and change before it.”
Abbie says nothing in response. While Tim doesn’t notice, as he is excited to show Abbie off to his colleagues, the other two couples see a troubled look pass over Abbie’s face. Why would she not be eager to meet Tim’s work associates finally? But the other couples know and wonder about the conversation Tim and Abbie will probably have tonight.
For that reason, the dinner breaks up a bit early, but there will be many more ahead to enjoy and stay longer.

Driving back to the Peacock, Les and Phoebe discuss what Abbie’s concern could be. Les brought it up first as they pulled out of the drive. “I can guess what Abbie’s concerns are. Tim is a bit blind when it comes to her. She is lovely and well hides things, but others not infatuated as Tim could see things differently.”
Phoebe agrees, “Their relationship has to be hard, though I don’t think they have had to face it yet, keeping themselves to a small group of supported friends. But this might be their first real test of facing the outside world.”
“I pray for them to be surrounded by accepting and non-judgmental friends, but as much as we think the world is changing and being more accepting, it still is not really,” Les replies.
She goes on, “I give Abbie so much credit for being as open about herself as she does. She really seems to have an ‘accept me for who I am or just move along’ attitude, which is good, but what it must cost her inside when others confront her or jeer at her.”
Phoebe continues on this thread, “I know even for us, being together there is so much stigma both for two women being together, but also the agism, considering the gap between us. But my dear, I would not want it any other way. You are my perfect ying for my yang.” Saying this, she leans her head over against Les’ shoulder as she drives.
Now back at the Peacock, they hurry upstairs. Leaving the conversation at that point, finding ways to pleasure each other for an hour or so before falling asleep, is now the priority.
They also are getting into a routine. One where Les and Phoebe have learned to take turns being the giver and the receiver. Some nights it is just one seeing to the other’s need without wanting anything for themselves. Other nights, Les and Phoebe do a bit of both. Tonight is one of those evenings. They climb into bed to scissor each other. Their cunts rubbing against each other, offering an incredible friction, while they kiss and stroke each other.
Phoebe loves sucking on Les’ small but still so firm tits and nipples. The moans from Les as she does add to the pleasure she gets. Feeling the hard nipples in her mouth as she sucks on them. Then moving around the small orbs leaving hickey marks, which do disappear in a couple of hours.
Les loves to do the same to Phoebe’s more ample busts. So large in comparison to her own; but so lovely to squeeze and suck. Tonight they are taking turns enjoying each other’s breasts. Their pussies, so close together, mingle the juices dripping from each of their vags.
And the kissing, nothing for either of them has ever been so sweet. They are tasting each other’s lips, mouths, tongues dancing together, exploring each other’s orifice. Life seems so good between the two now. Especially as both Phoebe and Les feel the explosion in their bodies together, as they trip the light fantastic in that special way.

Meanwhile, Sam and Grace are driving back to her apartment. After their first night together two days ago, they have been apart from each other only when they had to work or attend classes. It is the budding romance where being apart is agony.
They are not sure where things will lead, but they want to explore all the ways it could be. In the car, and even in the flat over a final drink, they two are discussing the same topic.
Grace started the conversation, “You did notice the look Abbie had when Tim mentioned them at the dinner tomorrow? I can somewhat imagine her concern, but then no one can entirely unless in the same situation. She loves Tim so much and doesn’t want to harm him, but Tim is blind to what others might think.
“To be honest, when I went to their house for the interview, I hadn’t been warned. I actually give my boss credit for that as she did not see it as an issue to bring up. Tim opened the door first and just gasped at me. Then Abbie came to the door, and it was more about how much we look alike. She even made a joke, which she still calls me with affection, ‘Mini-me.’
“But after the initial shock of that, I realized what their relationship was. And it is funny, I now think of Abbie as my older sister or slightly older woman, but there is so much more involved,” Grace concludes.
Sam replies thoughtfully, “I knew Tim wanted to redo the house for the woman he loved and make it a perfect place for her. I did not meet Abbie really until designing and building the greenhouse. I did not know all the details of their relationship, and as you say, she does present herself in such a soft, feminine way that it is how you feel about her.”
“I really hope things work out well for them when they have to face people who might not be as accepting and will voice their unacceptance. It is funny in a way. Abbie and I have never talked about that side of things. I wonder how much she has had to face that in the past? And is she ready to do it when it could have an impact on Tim’s job?” Grace ponders.
Grace and Sam’s drinks are finished, leaving the conversation there, for now. They move to the bedroom. Soon close together, both naked. Sam is still learning all the lovely parts of Grace’s body, as she is learning about his. The touches, caresses, licks, and kisses on newly discovered pleasure spots are exciting them both so much.
Getting each other’s engines running is as much fun as when they put things in drives and squeal off as Sam pushes his locomotive into Grace’s waiting tunnel. It feels so perfect to each other. Both throbbing so, Grace is soon clenching against Sam’s cock as he bangs in and out of her.
In a position for them to both look into each other’s eyes is their preferred position for now. They haven’t been to this point that many times yet. Yes, doggie style and other options of Grace on top will soon be added to their pleasure catalog. For now, just gazing into each other’s eyes, leaning down to kiss as their passion rises, is the spot to be in right now.
Sam is thrusting in and out of Grace. Holding when the sides of her vagina clamps against him to enjoy that feeling. Sam regularly checks to make sure Grace is okay with what is happening. That small kindness means a lot to Grace and adds to her plus side column for Sam.
In reality, both do just have plus side items on their mental lists. Neither has of yet have found anything negative about each other. Now, for the third night, as they both find themselves ascending to the peaking climax, more points are given in favor of each other.
Crying out together, they cum. A mixture of Sam’s cum and Grace’s juices combine together to run out of her, filling her slit with all their drippings. Some flow back to flood against her asshole and up her crack. The feel of the warm stickiness Grace does not want to clean up quite yet.
Clinging to each other with kisses of appreciation both ways, Grace and Sam fall asleep.

And the hardest of the three conversation takes us back to when Tim and Abbie say goodbye to everyone as they leave. The dishes are already clean, leftovers put away, and nothing more to clean up.
Tim and Abbie head up to their bedroom. Abbie is trying to figure out what she needs to say to Tim as they do. In bed, for now, just holding each other, Abbie turns around, so she and Tim are face to face on their pillows.
She begins, “Tim, we need to talk about something, and it deals with tomorrow’s celebration. We haven’t really ever discussed this, which we probably should have from the start. I have been mesmerized by how accepting you have been of me. Seeing me how I see myself. We have talked about this a little, but in a different way.”
Abbie pauses now before she goes on. She is not sure the right words to say, “Tim, you seeing me and accepting me as a woman has meant the world to me. To know that is how you see me, not just someone playing the role. But others might not be so willing to accept my choices of identity.
“You have viewed me, us, and how things are in a very remarkable way. But we have not been out in general crowds to confront what others may see and feel about our relationship.
“I do not in any way want to do anything which might impact your job. I am scared of the response it will possibly bring when you introduce me as your girlfriend, or whatever. I have been enthralled by you accepting me as a woman from the start, and even when you knew, you did come back and were so kind and loving.
“But Tim, I am a transgender person. And many people object to that and are scared, and at times hurtful. You are having a relationship with a transgender female, which can also cast you in a negative light. I need you to think long and hard about what that could mean to you before we ‘come out’ together. Especially to portions of your life which are very important to you, but which might not be as accepting,” Abbie finishes with tears blurring her eyes.
Tim wipes them away and holds Abbie tight to his chest, kissing her hair. They are both quiet for a few minutes as Tim takes in all Abbie has said and try to find the right words to reply. Finally, he does.
“Abbie, my love, I would never want to put you in any position you felt uncomfortable. If you are unsure, for yourself, about the celebration tomorrow, I will understand and not press you to attend.
“But, if you do not want to this is because I might be hurt or ashamed in any way; please do not refuse for that reason. Please share this with me. I do not care what others might think, say behind my back, or even speak out about it to me.
“If my being with you in a loving relationship is something that could affect this promotion, or even me working at the company, then it is not an environment I want to be part of. You have been helping me come out of my cocoon these last few months and made this promotion possible. If anyone, on any level, has a problem with you and me together, then it is not somewhere I would want to work anymore,” Tim concludes.
Abbie is now confused about what she should do. Tim’s declamation to her leaves her unsure which choice she should make. Tonight, they just hold each other tight as they fall asleep, deciding to face this fully tomorrow.

The next morning Abbie is quiet, still trying to figure things out. Tim drops her at work and is at his workplace a bit early. The first thing he does is contact the Chairman’s assistant to schedule a meeting with him as soon as possible. Tim, now being the golden boy, the assistant tells him that they can meet as soon as he likes.
Tim walks down the corridor to the Chairman’s office and is welcomed in graciously. Sitting down, facing the Chairman, Tim pauses, for a moment to collect his thoughts. “Sir, there is one issue that I think needs to be gotten out of the way, whether it is acceptable on all levels of the company or not.” This opening has the Chairman’s full attention.
Tim continues, “I know you all have seen the changes I have gone through the last few months. And as more or less said, what led to this new position for me. All these changes are due to my meeting and falling in love with a wonderful person who, besides believing in me and encouraging me, has helped me become more confident about myself. Someone I have grown to love deeply.
“The thing is, which to me is no one else’s business than ours, Abbie is a transgender woman. It is not that apparent to me, but I now realize it might not be the same to others. Abbie is a lovely, caring, thoughtful, and supportive woman.
“If this is something that Microga or anyone who works here could have a problem with, then perhaps this is not somewhere that I should work at now. When I told Abbie about tonight’s celebration, she is hesitant to come. But she is who made this happen, and I want her with me, or the festivities are hollow. In the same way, I do not want her to feel embarrassed by being here with me.
“Abbie is an amazing woman, which I am sure you will discover when you meet her. I just hope she can be here with me without any negative feelings,” Tim finished what was probably the longest speech he has ever made at Microga.
The Chairman clears his throat before replying, “Tim, I am sorry that you, and Abbie, would have worried about this at all. But I can understand both of your concerns. We are supposed to be an open and accepting company, regardless of an individual’s diversity in any way, which does include sexual identities and relationships. But stating that I agree is not always fully practiced.
“If anyone, regardless of their level, ever acts in a harassing way to fellow employees or their partners, it would be grounds for dismissal. Again, please relay my apologies to Abbie for her to have concerns about this. I can not wait to meet the woman who helped you emerge into the butterfly you are now for us,” the Chairman concluded.
Tim is overwhelmed with such a positive and supportive response. Tim blushes about the analogy of a butterfly and him. Tim thanks the Chairman for his time. He concludes by saying that he hopes Abbie will feel comfortable when this is relayed to her to come this evening. The Chairman agrees and tells Tim he can’t wait to meet her.
Tim goes back to his new office, calls Abbie, and tells her what the Chairman said. Abbie, a little more comfortable about things, says, “Well, there is still a matter of having something to wear tonight.” Tim laughs and tells Abbie with her wardrobe, he is sure she has something acceptable for this evening.
Meanwhile, the Chairman is in full force. He calls an executive meeting, minus Tim, so as not to embarrass him. There he loses no time to tell his team that any, how minuscule, harassment, or negative comments, made at any time or to anyone would result in immediate termination. And that they need to make it clear with their staff loud and clear.
All are a bit confused about what this is about as the Chairman mentioned no specifics. But staff meetings are called all through the day, bringing this point home. By the end of the day, every employee of Microga is aware of the new, very stringent policy of no tolerance.
Tim knows none of why this is happening, nor why the Chairman is so supportive and much more than he realized. It is not until a while later that Tim and Abbie learn that the Chairman’s daughter was, and still is, in a relationship with a transgender man.
At first, the Chairman found it hard to accept, but his love for his daughter out weighted who her partner was. And by the time Tim approached him about Abbie, he had come to accept his daughter’s choices and welcomed her partner into the family fully.
It is funny, so many secrets that are kept hidden by family, friends, colleagues. If they were shared, perhaps tolerance and acceptance of an individual’s personal choices would be the norm. Instead, there is still an environment where what is considered a diversion from the norm scares people and keeps them from just accepting how things are part of the wonderfully diverse world we live in.
