Place Your Bets!

So, how was that for a plot twist? It surprised me too! I had thought about making this the last chapter, but I thought of a few other ideas that I just had to let you in on. Thanks for the great comments. Keep them coming as long as they're constructive. Abuse gets the yank. Enjoy!

"Excuse me?" Elliot said, taken aback by Cari and Yvonne's non-monogamous request. "Did you say 'girlfriends" with an 'S'?"

"You heard us," Cari confirmed. "We decided that it was the only way. We both care about you very much, and it wouldn't be fair of us to make you choose."

"How... how would this work?" he asked. "Like, would we split weeks? Like shared custody?"

"We can work that out later, bebe..." Yvonne responded for the two women. "Right now, though, I think we need to get you feeling better."

Elliot shifted on the bed, his ribs still letting him know that they were cracked from the attack the previous night. His head had stopped hurting and the slight dizziness from the concussion had subsided for the moment. "Well, I guess I could use another pain pill and some more rest."

"I don't think that's what she meant, sweetie," Cari interjected. She slipped her grey T-shirt over her head and Elliot saw the buxom redhead's large breasts bounce free. Her black yoga pants slid over her curvy hips and fell to the floor, and she stood naked in front of her man and the Latina that shared him. Yvonne followed suit and hoisted her light dress over her head, revealing her small but firm chest and waxed-clean pubic area.

"Before we do this," Elliot said, a bit dazed from the sight of the two nude women, "I should probably use the bathroom. I've been laying in this bed for quite some time. I'll be right back..." He excused himself then gingerly made his way to the facilities attached to the main bedroom. When he closed the door, he leaned back on it and ran his hands through his long hair, exhaling sharply while trying to gather his wits.

Cari and Yvonne sat on the bed, neither wearing a stitch of clothing. "How IS this going to work?" Cari asked her naked counterpart. "Do we share or...?"

"Or what, chica?" Yvonne asked for clarification.

"Or... do we do this together? All three of us..." Cari completed her hesitant thought.

"You ever been with another woman?" Yvonne asked the light-skinned redhead. With her accent, the word

you

came out sounding like

Ju.

"Once," Cari admitted. "Right after high school. My best friend and I got drunk and fooled around one night. How about you?"

"No, bebe..." Yvonne replied. "Never. But I have watched it in the pornos. Looks hot! I always wanted to try it."

"Do you... want to try it with me?" Cari asked her, her whole body flashing a hot pink as she blushed.

Yvonne didn't answer with words, but with actions. She climbed into the taller woman's lap and began to kiss her, their mouths opening so that their tongues could explore one another. Cari felt Yvonne's hands go from her back to her front and start to caress her D-cups. The tiny Latina's fingers found Cari's pink nipples and she traced small circles around her pointy nubs.

Cari wrapped her arms around Yvonne then stood up from the bed. She then placed Yvonne on the mattress near the headboard and climbed on top of her. Cari's mouth started at Yvonne's lips then moved south to her tan breasts. She sucked one nipple into her mouth then did the same with the other, swirling her tongue around them with her tongue. Cari then moved further down Yvonne's body, placing kisses on her taut belly before finally reaching the split where her legs began.

"Mmmmmmm... that feels

muy bueno

, chica!" Yvonne said as Cari's tongue divided her cleft and settled on her pink pleasure button.

"I'm glad," Cari responded as she briefly came up for air. "I haven't done this for a long time..." She returned to Yvonne's sex and continued licking her pulsing clitoris. Yvonne's breath quickened as Cari flicked her tongue back and forth, intensifying her heightening bliss.

Neither woman heard the bathroom door open, and both barely heard Elliot speak as he walked back into the bedroom. "OK. So, what I think we should do is..." he began then stopped silent in his tracks at the sight of the two women, Yvonne on her back writhing and Cari face-first between her legs. His mouth dropped open, and he shook his head slightly and blinked a few times to make sure he was seeing straight.

Cari looked up from her task and spoke to Elliot. "I think we've already decided how this is going to work. Get naked."

Elliot did as he was told and gently removed his clothing, which consisted only of his pajama bottoms. He now stood before the two women as nide as they were, except for the white bandages around his torso that helped to keep his ribs in place. He walked around to the other side of the bed and climbed aboard, content watching the show before him.

"Ohhhhh, bebe! Oh,

madre de dios!"

Yvonne cried as her orgasm crashed throughout her body. Her hips bucked up and down on the bed, slamming her spasming slit into Cari's face and forcing her womanly emissions into her new lover's mouth. Cari tasted Yvonne's sweetness and greedily sucked in her slick offering.

Elliot saw both women were perspiring profusely then felt a trickle come from his own forehead. His temperature had risen, and he hadn't done anything but watch the sapphic performance. Cari lifted her head from Yvonne's spent gash and smiled, her lips and chin wet from Yvonne's explosion of bliss.

"Wow! That takes me back!" Cari exclaimed as she stood from the bed. She wiped her sticky face with her hand then tasted what was left on her palm.

"Muy muy bueno, amante!"

Yvonne spoke just above a whisper, her breath slowly returning. "

Ahora es mi turno-

Now it's my turn!"

Cari switched places with Yvonne and lay down on the comfortable mattress, the sheets moist from Yvonne's sweat. "Don't be nervous, sweetie," she said to Yvonne. "Just take your time and do to me what you like done to you."

Yvonne smiled then spoke shakily, "I'll... I'll try, bebe..." She placed her hands on the inside of Cari's thighs and parted them, exposing her hot pink opening. Yvonne looked for a quick second then tentatively flicked her tongue over Cari's glistening slit, brushing her nub which caused her friend to twitch with delight.

"Yes!" Cari shouted. "Just like that!" Yvonne continued as Cari turned her attention to the third member of the bedroom group. "You," she said to Elliot and pointed to his engorged cock, "bring that thing over here and put it in my mouth!"

Elliot did as he was told and knee-walked across the bed to her. Cari opened her mouth wide as Elliot slid his long rod deep inside, tickling her tonsils with his bulbous head. She placed her hand on his heavy sack and squeezed lightly as she took him in and out of her wet mouth. As she fellated him, Yvonne found her spirit and began to lick Cari's sizzling box with vigor. She inserted two fingers inside Cari and worked them back and forth, sending the crimson-haired beauty over the edge. She coated Yvonne's fingers in her tasty cream as she came and trapped Elliot's hard manhood between her lips, her muffled moans of ecstasy humming on his rigid member.

"Deliciosa,"

Yvonne said as she stuffed her fingers in her mouth to clean Cari's wetness from her digits. "I wish I had done this sooner, bebe!

Me encanta!"

"Wait," Elliot said, his cock still buried deep in Cari's throat. "That was your first time with a woman?!"

"You were wonderful, lover," Cari told her after removing Elliot's dick from her mouth and sitting up on the bed. "Now, let's show our man how much we appreciate him." She pushed Elliot on to the bed and he lay on his back. Cari and Yvonne surrounded him and moved their faces near his middle. Cari took the lead and licked him from his base to his tip before engulfing him all the way. She bobbed up and down a few times then released him. Yvonne started next and mimicked Cari's previous motions. They took turns sharing him until he sat up and away from their hungry maws.

"If we're going to do this," Elliot stated, "then let's go all the way." He stood from the bed then grabbed Cari by the hips and turned her toward the opposite wall, her ass and wet pussy facing him. He plunged into her to his and her limit and he heard her suck in a quick breath. Hands on her hips, he furiously pounded in and out of her while Cari put a death grip on the bedsheet and held on.

"That's so fucking hot,

amantes!"

Yvonne said as she watched the two energetically screw. She spread her legs and rubbed her already used clit and lips, desperate to make herself cum once more.

"Bring that over here!" Cari demanded. "I want more!" Yvonne scooched herself in front of Cari's face and the redhead buried her mouth in her slit again. Cari licked frantically as Elliot's rhythm quickened. He felt Cari tense up and her inner walls contract violently, her second orgasm of the afternoon hitting her like a ton of bricks. She screamed into Yvonne's folds then shoved the Latina's legs high in the air. Cari returned Yvonne's favor and slipped her fingers into her tight hole as she continued to lick and suck her button. Yvonne came again and squirted her delight on Cari's hand, face, and most of the bedsheet.

Elliot knew he wouldn't last long and announced his arrival. "Oh, God! I'm gonna cum!" he shouted. Cari quickly moved forward and removed Elliot from her well-used gash. The two women knelt on the bed in front of him and jacked his long rod until he spewed forth, covering both their mouths in his milky white love potion. The women kissed passionately, sharing Elliot's offering between them as he recovered.

"That's the hottest thing I've ever done!" he declared as he flopped on to the mattress next to his new lovers. They took positions on either side of him, nestling their naked and spent bodies against him, each with a hand on his panting chest.

"We should really clean ourselves up and make some dinner," Cari said as she lay next to him and Yvonne."

"We could, bebe..." Yvonne agreed. "You know how much I like to cook for our man here."

"Let's just lay here for a while," Elliot countered. "We can eat later. I like what we're doing right now better." The three new lovers drifted off to sleep and lay together in Elliot's bed until the first rays of sunlight began to peek through the cracks in the bedroom blinds.

++++++++++

Six days after he was attacked outside of Yvonne's house, Elliot felt well enough to return to work at Polarity. Still sore around the middle, he gingerly made his way into the building and down the hallway to his desk. Stephanie, as always, was waiting for him in their shared work area.

"How ya feelin', slugger?" she asked playfully as she made her way to his desk. She saw how cautiously he sat down and realized just how hurt he still was. "Elliot, are you sure you should be here? You look pretty sore."

"I'll be OK, Steph," he lied, his bruised and cracked ribs causing him significant discomfort. "Thanks for picking up the slack while I was out."

"We got lucky," she confessed. "After you got those documents to Jane, we didn't have much more to do. You still owe me one though."

"I owe you more than that," Elliot countered. "Yeah, I'll admit it. I'm still hurting quite badly. But I've been cooped up in that house for almost a week and I had to get some fresh air."

"You had company, from what I hear," Stephanie revealed. "That's probably not good for your injuries either."

"How the Hell do you find out about this stuff?!" he asked. "You seem to know more about my life than I do, and before I know it!"

"People talk around here, El," she disclosed, "and even though I pretty much keep to myself, I hear quite a bit. Cari and Yvonne think no one can hear them whisper but they're not as quiet as they think they are."

"So, I suppose now you're going to tell me I'm a deviant, even more so than before?" he questioned his friend.

"Nope," she answered, "it's none of my business what debauchery you get yourself into. I just want you to be happy and healthy. All that double fun can't be good for your ribs."

"Steph," Elliot began," the last few days have been the hottest I've ever experienced, even after the bet started. But it feels like more than that. Do you think...?"

"Do I think what?" she asked him with a puzzled look.

"Do you think a man can love two women at the same time?" he finished his thought. "And if he can, is he able to make it work?"

"Do they love you?" she answered his question with one of her own.

"They both told me they did the first day," he related. "And numerous times from both after that. It's a good feeling knowing that someone cares for me again after Missy left."

"OK," Stephanie continued, "and do you love them back. And equally?"

"Well, Cari was first in my heart," he divulged, "and she is special to me. Then Yvonne came along and found some room in there too. And she saved my life, don't forget. You can't help but have affection for someone that does something like that for you. Yeah, I guess you could say I do love them both."

"Then love both of them," Stephanie concluded. "Hopefully, it lasts. Another question is, though, do they love each other enough to share you?"

"It's only been a few days," Elliot replied, "but they get along like no two women I've ever known, except for maybe Amy and Danielle. But it's kind of the same thing, right?"

"Only time will tell, El," she rhymed. "Stranger things have happened. Another question is, what happens now with the bet? I hear there's still money left in the kitty."

"We haven't really talked about it," he revealed. "I guess that's a conversation for later tonight."

"Are they living with you now?" Stephanie asked.

"Not exactly," he responded. "But they spend enough time there that it would probably make sense if they did. They both have really helped me along in my recovery."

"I'll bet they have," she said sarcastically. "Just tell them to take it easy on you, old man. You're in bad enough shape as it is."

"Yeah, I'm feeling it today," he said then groaned his discomfort. "I think I'll take a half day today. Cover for me for a little while longer?"

"That's what friends are for, El," she answered. "I'll let Jane know you're leaving at lunch. She'll be OK with it. Now, before you go, let's try to get some work done."

++++++++++

Elliot arrived back home shortly before his lunch period would have concluded. He let Maxx out to do his outside business then poured some kibble in his bowl. He shook one of the powerful pain pills out of the prescription bottle and swallowed it, chasing the tablet with a gulp of water. Elliot undressed down to his boxer briefs and lay down on his bed. He smiled when he thought about the action the mattress had seen in the past few days with Cari and Yvonne visiting every night for the past week. He drifted off to sleep thinking about how he was one of the luckiest men in town.

He jolted awake three hours later to the sound of Maxx barking. Maxx never barked unless someone was at the door and he got up to see who may be there, pulling his long terrycloth robe over his nearly naked form. Maxx continued to bark until Elliot patted him on the head, letting the watchdog know things were OK. He peered through the peephole in the door and saw Yvonne standing on his front porch.

"Did you get out of work early to surprise me?" Elliot asked her as he opened the door. He saw her face and immediately regretted his joke. He could tell she had been crying. "What's wrong?"

Yvonne burst into tears as she entered the house, and Elliot enveloped her in a bear hug. "Hey, it's OK. Tell me what's going on."

"Oh, Elliot," Yvonne answered through her sobs. "We're in big trouble, bebe. I got fired today!"

"Fired?" he repeated her declaration. "Why would you get fired. And why is that trouble for us?"

"Jane called me into her office after you left," she explained. "She has a v-v-video of us kissing outside her office. You know, the day we made the dinner date? She said it was inappropriate, and she had to let me g-g-go..." her crying intensified as she concluded.

"A kiss is inappropriate?!" he pondered aloud. "What kind of bullshit is that? I'll talk to her tomorrow."

"She told me to tell you to come see her when you get in tomorrow," Yvonne related. "I'm sorry, bebe. I think she's going to fire you too..."

"If she does," Elliot resigned himself to the possibility, "then so be it. We'll just accelerate our plan for the restaurant."

"I didn't think you were serious about that,

amante,"

she confided. "I thought it was just, you know, dreaming."

"It's your dream," he replied, "and I want to make it come true, love."

"It's gonna cost a lot of money," Yvonne told him. "I don't even know where to start."

"Don't worry about the money," he said. "That's not an issue. I've been investing my share of the divorce settlement for about a year now and there should be plenty for what we want to do. You start scouting the city for a building that will work."

"Just how much was your settlement?" she asked.

"Enough to live comfortably and invest in some higher-risk stocks that paid very well. Don't worry too much about losing your job. Or me losing mine. We can survive without Polarity if necessary."

"I still feel bad about it, bebe," she retorted. "I know how much you liked working there. So did I."

"Then let me take you in the bedroom and make you feel better," he said with a wink and a smile. "I think I know just what you need." He then turned his attention to the faithful dog of the house. "Maxx, you stay here and guard the door."

++++++++++

Elliot took Yvonne into the bedroom and when they were finished, she did feel much better. Cari arrived ninety minutes after her shift ended bearing a large bag of Chinese food. Yvonne and Elliot related the events of the meeting in Jane's office earlier in the day and Cari held Yvonne as she began to cry again.

"That all seems a bit fishy to me, El," Cari said after Yvonne went to the bathroom to compose herself. "Firing her for a kiss? And maybe you too? That doesn't sound like Jane at all."

"Well, it happened," Elliot countered, "regardless of Jane's usual easy-going demeanor. I'll admit, I don't know all the rules there, but it didn't sound like a terminating offense to me either. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I don't need the job there, and now that we three are together, neither does Yvonne. Or you, for that matter."

"What do you mean, El?" she questioned her lover. "Are you saying you want me to quit? To let you take care of me?"

"No," he responded, "I don't want you to quit. Not unless you want to leave Polarity." He saw Yvonne returning from the facilities and patted the couch cushion next to him, beckoning her to sit with him and Cari. "I've been thinking for the past few days, and I feel like the time is right to ask you both."

"Ask us what, El?" Cari asked for both women.

"To move in with me," he revealed. "There's plenty of room here for the three of us. Well, four with Maxx."

"Six with Buster and Keaton," Cari corrected him, reminding Elliot about her two felines. "Does Maxx like cats?"

"Guess we'll find out," Elliot answered, "if you're saying yes to my newest proposal."

"I'm in," Cari acquiesced. "My apartment is OK, but it's on the other side of town. And my car isn't exactly new. I swear I can hear it rusting. Between back and forth to work and the trips over here, I'm putting a lot of miles on it."

"I'm in too, bebe," Yvonne agreed. "But only on one condition. You let me pay you back for the restaurant money with what I get out of selling my house."
