The next morning, January 1st, 1986, Linda and I got up with the alarm at 10:30. It wasn't easy waking up; we had gone to sleep very late, after 3:30, and it took us both a long time to fall asleep. We didn't have a fight exactly the night before, but there was an incident that caused a problem between us for the first time since we started seeing each other six months before. After the New Year's Eve party, we went to, her friend Rona came on to both of us, and then, in the car, Linda told me Rona was an occasional lover of hers and had told her she wanted to have a threesome with us. Though Linda told me they hadn't been together since we'd met, and she promised she had no interest in sleeping with her again, I was really thrown for a loop. And the problem was there in bed with us all night long.
After using the bathroom, we sat in the kitchen having coffee, very subdued. It was a holiday, and we were going to my parents in a few hours for brunch, and right then we were barely on speaking terms. It was making us both miserable. Finally, Linda almost shouted at me. "Dennis, tell me what you're thinking already. We have to work this out or I'm not going for brunch, and you won't be moving in next weekend! You knew I had a female friend that I had an occasional thing with. It was never love, and we only got together when we didn't have men in our lives. I told you I wouldn't trade you for anyone, not ever. I probably should have just shut her down about the threesome, but I wanted to talk to you about that first in case you were interested. I could understand you wanting to experience something I had on and off for years, something fun and kinky, but I never would have said yes without your consent first. So you need to tell me what is causing you problems here. And we have to get it out now."
I looked at her and Linda was kind of furious with me. She was probably right; she was upfront with me about her past (VERY upfront, actually), and none of it ever gave me a pause before. So why this and why now?
"Linda, my Darling" I said as I took her hands in mine, "I had no idea the 'friend' you had your relationship with would be there last night. No idea this would happen. If we were just casual fuck buddies and you knew Rona, I would probably go for it and chalk it up as a casual sex experience, and a great one at that. But we're not casual, Honey. We're in love, moving in together soon. Knowing you have a long history with her kind of threatens me. I don't want to wonder if sometimes you're going to need to go out and hook up with Rona."
"Baby, that part of my life is over. Finished. You're the one I want every night and day, in my bed, in my heart, in all my thoughts. Except when I think about my children or dad. But in terms of a lover and best friend, it's you I want and need. Please, don't let this screw up such a good thing. Believe me and trust me. I love you completely."
I knew she was right. And she was right for me. What was past was past. "I believe you, Honey, and I completely trust you. If you say that's behind you, that's good enough for me." I stood up and gently pulled her up with me. "Come with me" I said simply, and Linda followed me as I led her into what would soon be officially OUR bedroom. We melted into each other, locked in a deep and loving kiss.
Before we got onto the bed, Linda whispered in my ear "What about your parents? They're expecting us at 1."
"I'll call them afterwards and tell them we overslept. They'll believe it. Probably. Let's start the New Year right, my Darling."
"I'm all yours, Baby. All yours." I hoisted Linda up so her ass was under my arms and her cleavage was even with my face. I started kissing all over her chest, working my way down to her delicious breasts. "Yes, Baby. Kiss me there. Devour me." She was urging me on, gripping my hair, pulling my face where she wanted me to go. I pulled down the straps of her nightgown and sucked hungrily on her nipples, switching back and forth from one to the other as Linda groaned and grunted with her building lust.
We fell on the bed and got out of what clothing we were wearing, which wasn't all that much, and with minimal foreplay, Linda mounted me. The lack of foreplay didn't hurt at all; I was hard and she was soaked. She grinded on my cock in circles, tossing her head back as I ran my hands all over her body. I touched her lips with my fingers and she sucked them greedily, each one in turn. When she started to ride me, I lifted my hips, meeting her, thrust for thrust. We didn't say a word, we just fucked with a desperate need. I tweaked her swollen nipples, making her cry out as a powerful orgasm shook through her. Then she fell forward so her tits were mashed onto my chest and I forced my tongue into her mouth. I say 'forced', but there was nothing really forceful about it. She wanted my kiss, we reveled in each other. Then I pushed her on her back and I was in charge and Linda went wild. Kicking my ass with her heels, clawing at my hairy chest as I pounded away. Then she issued the only word either of us spoke during that amazing fuck: "Harder!" I was bouncing on top of her body, the bed was protesting, and then when our orgasms came, it was like the floodgates opened. We were both soaking wet from our mixed fluids and the room just reeked of steamy sex. We couldn't even open the window since it was January, but at least the kids wouldn't be home for a few days.
We laid there, wiped out physically and emotionally. There was more pure heat in that amazing sex than we ever shared before. I covered her face in kisses which she returned with all her love. We stopped kissing after a minute or two and looked into each other's eyes. Linda caressed the top of my head and said so softly I could barely hear her, "I love you, Dennis. Always will."
I touched her cheek and nuzzled next to her ear, and I whispered "I love you too, Linda. Always. I promise." We kissed a couple more times before laying back together, enjoying the warm feelings that made us glow. Then I look at the clock, and it was after 11:30. "I have to call my parents and tell them we'll be late."
"MMM Baby, stay, just a minute longer. Stay with me." How could I resist? So I stayed there, holding each other for five minutes before I had to get up. I called my folks while she got the shower started. I told my dad we overslept, which he accepted with a decent amount of skepticism. I hurried to join Linda in the shower, which went faster than you might think due to an overwhelming amount of restraint. By the time we were ready and drove over there, we were 'only' a half hour late, earning me a dirty look from my mom. Otherwise, the afternoon went fine, a nice brunch and conversation.

That Saturday, the 4th, Michael and Sandy came back from their fathers' apartment, and after all the talk about their days there and how much we missed them (I missed them almost as much as Linda by then), we sat down with them and told them we had something very important to say. We started carefully, with Linda doing almost all the talking. Eventually we got to the important part. Linda said "Dennis and I want to ask you both a question. We want to know how you'd feel if Dennis moved in with us and lived here? You know Dennis and I are in love with each other, tight? I know that's not easy for you to understand. It's when you care about someone so deeply, your heart feels like it will break when they're not around, and that's how we feel about each other. That doesn't mean I won't love you both as much as I always have. I will always love you, more than anything, something that will never change. But we want to be together, but we won't do it unless you both agree with it."
Sandy, who was attached to me, immediately agreed. Michael, however, was a harder sell. His main worry was if I would try to take the place of his father. Linda and i were prepared for this; we discussed it the night before.
"Michael, your father will always be your father. I'll never try to take his place in your life. That doesn't mean I won't love you and care about you, because I will. And I'll be here if you have a problem you need to talk about, to play ball with, help with homework, whatever you need. I love your mother very much and we want to share our lives with each other, and that means the both of you as well. But your father is always going to be the most important man in your life, and I would never try to take his place."
