Sunday, I woke early and took advantage of the alone time to drink my coffee and contemplate my navel. I still had a lot of mental adjustments to complete before I could relax into my new reality. I had to temper my excitement. It would be so easy to get lost in the euphoria of loving two wonderful women and not take into consideration the potential pitfalls.
A couple of things were primary in my mind and of equal importance. One of those things was the relationship between Susan and Beth. Susan appeared to be excited to start a sexual relationship with her best friend. I could understand her excitement since I was pretty excited myself with the sexual relationship I had started with Beth. Still, Susan had never been intimate with another woman, at least before the one night in the truck. I wouldn’t consider that incident proof of concept by any stretch. Kissing someone of the same sex takes a certain amount of adventurous spirit, but it isn’t the same as having sex with them. A few too many drinks and a dare can lead to a kiss. No harm, no foul. Sex is an entirely different animal that you can’t explain away. You have to own it.
The other thing on my mind was Susan’s change in language. When this thing started, it was all about her fantasy of being a cuck queen. The way she talked after I had sex with Beth didn’t match up. I smelled a rat and knew I had to get to the bottom of things with Susan. It worried me that she might still be hiding something from me. I knew better than to go down the guilt path I had already been down once. This wasn’t about me now. It was about us, and especially Susan.
I decided that my best path forward was to be patient and let the two women I loved be my guide. If I saw things taking a turn I wasn’t comfortable with, I would speak up. I wanted to give Susan a chance to explore her feelings about Beth without piling on a bunch of baggage. Whatever Susan was thinking would become clear given the time.
With all of that in mind, I called Beth. She answered on the second ring. “Hey, Baby! I just got out of the shower, but I still feel dirty. Care to come over and help me clean up?”
I laughed. “I would love to do that, but we have more important matters to deal with. Susan’s in the shower and should be down for coffee in a minute or two. Why don’t you come over and hang out with us?”
Her voice was worried. “Is Susan okay? Please tell me we’re all still friends!”
“Everything is fine. More than fine, I think. Things have changed for the three of us, and we need to spend time together, taking it all in and figuring out what we all want. Can I ask you something, Beth?”
“Sure. I have no secrets from you, Ben.”
“Have you and Susan ever been intimate?”
“You mean, have we ever fooled around? Knocked the little man in the boat around with our tongues? Gone muff diving together? Snacked on each other’s bearded clams?”
I chuckled. “Yeh, that.”
Her voice was soft and sensual when she responded. “No, but I’ve wanted to for so long. I don’t even know if I would like it, but Ben, I’m in love with her. I want that closeness with her. Are you okay with that?”
I rushed to reassure her. “I’m absolutely okay with that. I know that Susan is looking forward to being with you, and I was sitting here wondering how she could be so sure when she’s never been with a woman before. I think I get it now. You love each other, and physical intimacy is a logical next step in your growing affection for each other. Now, get your sweet ass over here. I’ll have the coffee ready.”
Beth let herself in the front door as Susan walked into the kitchen. I had cups of caffeinated goodness ready for both, but they only had eyes for each other.
Beth had a look of trepidation when she walked into the kitchen. Susan rushed to her and pulled her into a hug that made Beth groan. “Easy, woman! You’ll break a rib or something.”
Susan tilted her head back and looked into Beth’s eyes. “I love you, Beth.”
Susan kissed Beth’s lips softly, then closed her eyes and kissed her some more. Beth didn’t hesitate to return it. The two of them stood in our kitchen and made out for a few minutes. Both had tears in their eyes when they finally separated.
Beth fanned her hand in front of her face. “Whew, woman. That was even better than I thought it would be. Can we do it again?”
Susan laughed happily. “Oh, I plan to until you make me stop. I’m going to make you wait for a bit, though, until I’ve had my coffee.”
I stood up as they sat down. “Are you both ready for some breakfast?”
They were so busy looking into each other’s eyes that I didn’t bother to wait for their answer. It didn’t take me long to get breakfast cooked, and I sat down with them to eat. They kept glancing at each other in anticipation between bites of food. I might as well have been eating by myself because I was beyond their notice at the moment.
I managed to separate them long enough to get some help cleaning up the kitchen. I hung the dish towel from the rack and turned to catch them back in each other’s arms. I wasn’t a bit surprised at that. I knew kissing Beth or Susan was magical, and I really couldn't blame them. Still, I wasn’t about to leave them to it. I stepped up to them and stuck my tongue between their lips as they kissed.
I laughed my ass off at their shocked response. They flew apart and looked at me in shock. Susan wiped the saliva from the side of her mouth. “What the hell was that, Ben?”
“Well, I didn’t have the garden hose handy to spray you both down with, so I improvised.”
I grabbed her hand, then Beth’s, and led them down the hallway to the bedroom. As we entered the bedroom, Beth turned to me. “You should probably explain what’s about to happen so we can keep our story straight.”
Susan looked at her funny. “What story?”
Beth winked at her. “You’ll see.”
I put my hands on Beth’s shoulders and positioned next to the bed. I moved my wife to face her and stepped back. Beth had a huge grin on her face, while Susan looked confused.
“The two of you face each other for the first time in anticipation of what comes next. You’ve both wanted so much to make love for years. Now, the nervous anticipation has you both giddy. Your nerve endings are buzzing, and your eyes are focused on each other’s very kissable lips. Your eyes meet, then your lips. Your kiss is filled with the passion you’ve suppressed for all this time, and you moan in each other’s mouths.
It took Susan all of about a second for the lightbulb to light up as Beth kissed her deeply. I watched them get serious about it this time. The walls were down, and their need for each other had been set free. I let them kiss for a while before I continued my narrative. “Beth can no longer…”
Beth’s hand flew up in a gesture to stop. Her lips left my wife’s. She maintained eye contact with Susan as she spoke, “I think we have it from here.”
Well, okay then. I stepped up to them and kissed them both on the cheek. “I’m going to do some running. I’ll be back later.”
As much as I wanted to stay, watch, and participate, I knew that they needed this first time to be between them. They didn’t need me watching or making this into playtime. They needed to complete the connection between them, and at the moment, I was more of a distraction than a contributor. I don’t think they noticed me leaving, and I was fine with that.
I killed the next four hours, starting with nine holes at the local public course, followed by a trip to the home improvement store and a pleasant drive enjoying the day. I hit the grocery store on my way back to the house. Grilled steaks and wine seemed like the perfect way to relax after what I expected was some very emotional lovemaking.
I arrived at the house and was working in the kitchen when they joined me. They were wearing their bikinis, which fit nicely with the cookout theme. Susan walked up to me, threw her arms around my neck, and held onto me for dear life. Beth came over behind me and rubbed my back with her hand as I held my wife for several minutes.
Not so many days ago, I would have been concerned. I would have assumed that she had something terrible to tell me. Today was different. I knew nothing was bothering her. She was overcome with a tsunami of emotions and came to me as her anchor. She wanted to share her joy with me but didn’t have the words yet. Her touch told me everything.
“I’m so happy for you both, Susan. Was it as wonderful as you imagined?”
I felt her head move up and down against my chest. “Well then, don’t you think I deserve a kiss for being so helpful?”
She tilted her head up, and her lips met mine in the most heartfelt kiss she’s ever given me. When our lips parted, she snuggled against my side while I kissed Beth. Her warm lips instantly brought back the memory of our hike and shower. I wanted them both with an urgency that took all of my willpower to fight. It didn’t feel right to rush off to bed and start fucking. They needed time to process, and we all needed time to relax together. The nice thing about having two hands is that I could squeeze both of their amazing asses at the same time. I did so, then moved to the kitchen counter.
