Dear Readers, this is the final installment of The New Neighborhood. Again, this is a romp into a fantasy land that many would enjoy. I now introduce Jim, Saul, Barb, and Vicki to everyone. Their relationship dynamics were the most unique of all.
*****
By the time we had arrived at Gene and Pam's house for Saturday omelets and fruit, our four other quad residents were seated at their dining room table.
Introductions were in order and Gene made them quick. From the beginning, I knew that Lynn would like Jim and Saul. They were twin brothers, although not identical. Both were good looking and muscular. It was clear that they took pride in their physical conditioning.
Both had been divorced for over 14 years. Jim had two sons, both now in their 30s, and Saul had a 30 year old son. Jim's blonde hair was very thin and receding at the top while Saul still had a full head of light brown hair.
Neither were necessarily hung especially well but I could see Lynn checking out their overall physique. Both were checking out Lynn's goods as well. She was practically posing for them.
Barb was an attractive redhead with sparse freckles on her face and chest. Her breasts weren't particularly large, in fact they were a B cup at best, and her overall build was very thin. She appeared to be close to 5 foot 8 and her legs were quite long. I couldn't help but take extra notice of the red tuft of hair between her thighs. She was a true redhead, the first I'd ever seen naked.
Vicki wasn't as attractive, at least by my estimation, but she did have raven colored hair that was pulled back in a ponytail and a full bush that matched. She also seemed to have personality traits that mirrored Sandy. She had a natural smile and seemed to be just as ease with people as Sandy. She didn't have huge breasts but they were clearly proportionate to her 5 foot 5 inch medium build.
They each gave us a brief bio about their previous relationships. Vicki had a 29 year old daughter that lived in Florida with her husband and Barb had a 31 year old son, Drew, who lived only two hours away. He usually visited her about 3 times a year. He enjoyed his time and had made a couple of female friends, including Sandy, whom he had enjoyed sexually. He traveled a lot in sales and he'd make time to come to New River Estates when he had time off that coincided with his mother's time off.
Barb's husband had run off with Jim's wife. Through that ordeal, they had become friends but not lovers. All four of them worked as correction officers with the state until Barb had a back injury that required surgery. Since then, she had worked in an office capacity.
Vicki, Saul, and Jim worked at the same prison and although they worked the same 6am-2pm shift, their days off were often different. Those that were scheduled on a particular day would carpool to work. The exception was Barb since her office was 20 miles from the prison yard.
Their unique relationship began 14 years ago. Barb, Jim, and Saul would meet together for a late lunch on the days they worked together. Eventually Vicki joined them when her husband left her for an 18 year old kid that had just graduated from high school.
Their friendship was based on their common jobs, their divorced status, and their resolve to never marry again. Throughout many conversations and soul-baring, they had bonded tremendously.
Eventually, the four of them decide to move in together. The girls shared one room and the guys shared the other. There were four twin beds. Everyone assumed that there was something sexual going on but they were wrong...at least for a while. They didn't care what people thought or believed. They enjoyed being together and had developed a trust and bond that was unbreakable.
One night, Jim was leaving the bathroom after taking a shower. Believing that he was home alone, he walked from the bathroom to his bedroom nude. Vicki had returned home early from visiting her daughter in college and was shocked to see Jim in his naked glory.
The awkwardness was short-lived. When the others got home from work that day, the four of them agreed that to avoid any future embarrassment, that nudity around the house would be the norm from now on. Actually, this was Vicki's idea. She grew up in a home where nudity was normal and she hated the feeling of covering up. Although the incident was accidental, Vicki saw it as an opportunity to get back to the kind of clothes-free atmosphere she had known for years.
After much discussion, they agreed. The men's concern was that with two naked women in the house, it could lead to feelings of sexual desire. Those feelings already existed, as both men admitted, but their friendship to the girls meant more to them than trying to score with them in bed. All four of them had enjoyed some no-strings attached with other partners.
Through more dialogue and some nervous humor, they agreed that sexual activity between the four of them might be a good idea. None of them wanted a permanent relationship that mirrored some sort of ownership of their partner. The sex would be between friends with no expectation of the permanent boyfriend-girlfriend dynamics.
Over ten years ago, they heard about New River Estates. They were now all over 40 and thought that it would be the ideal place for them. They got the only 3 bedroom house available. Jim agreed to convert the den into a bedroom for himself. He preferred the outdoors anyhow and wouldn't need to spend much time in his bedroom except to sleep and an occasional lay.
They were now the third longest tenured residents in the 12 year old community. They assured us that there was no ownership between any of the group. They were each free to do as they wished sexually. Some would call it an open relationship, but in reality it was just four single friends sharing a house and each was free to enjoy their sexual desires.
They even admitted that sex between the four of them wasn't as frequent as some would think. Although they were usually together in the evening after work, their sex life was mostly with other members of their community, including Scott, Sandy, Gene, and Pam.
Jim had been told about our initial discomfort after moving in. He, as well as the others, were shocked to find out that we had moved in oblivious to the kind of community it was. Barb expressed even more shock that we seemed to adapt so quickly. She was the last holdout for the nude living arrangements many years ago. She was the last to get comfortable being nude in front of the guys. Vicki was much like Lynn...she enjoyed exposing her tits and pussy. That living arrangement just allowed the guys to get a good look at her. She enjoyed the looks of lust in their eyes.
As we talked, Scott and Sandy entered the kitchen. It was the first time they'd seen the four of them in almost 11 days and lots of hugs, kisses, ass grabs, and tit grabs were exchanged.
I admitted that I was still in a state of adjustment. Scott and Sandy had just arrived and I admitted to feeling uneasy about Lynn's affinity for Scott. I admitted to being comfortable with the sex but not so comfortable with her establishing such a closeness that might wreck their marriage. The intimacy of sex wasn't nearly as intense to me as that of a deep personal bonding. I could bare my body much easier than I could bare my soul.
"Let me explain something," Barb said, interrupting my rambling thoughts. "I love Scott dearly. I've enjoyed him in bed at least a half dozen times in the four months they've lived here."
"What you need to understand is, that man is so deeply in love with Sandy that not even a hot looking woman like Lynn is going to change that. Those two have been through a lot. They've grown together. They've always been there for each other. Not you, me, Lynn, or anyone in this room can screw that up."
"Also, three of us know what it's like to have our spouses leave us for another. It hurts like hell. It hurts so much that we've all stayed single for all of these years. We aren't taking that chance again. None of us wants a spouse, especially someone else's."
"This community is so unique. This quad has had some great people. Gene and Pam say that you're in an open relationship. If so, this will be the first time since we moved in 10 years ago that everyone in our quad is sexually free. We love our neighbors and I'm sure that we'll love you two in due time. Gene and Pam have already gushed about how great you two are."
I knew they were trying to be encouraging. I could honestly say that I really did like all eight of our new neighbors. Barb offered a different perspective for me to consider.
"Barry, just imagine you had just met all of your new neighbors and we were all dressed. Forget that we're nude. Just imagine us as neighbors only and decide if you like us."
