āIām pregnant!ā Shouted Charlotte joyfully, running into the flat pulling off her overcoat as she did so and revealing her naked body underneath. āJosephine! Itās official! Iām pregnant! And youāre the father!ā
Josephine had only just relieved herself of the weight of her own clothes while persuading young Robert, (the man sheād invited back for the two of them) to drop his trousers and reveal the erect penis she was about to exercise with her lips and tongue. She let the purple mass of the glans fall out of her mouth and jumped up to greet her lover. She put her arms around Charlotteās shoulders and pulled her close to her while showering her face with kisses.
āThatās wonderful news!ā She exclaimed showing her joy in her loverās own delight. āAbsolutely wonderful! But I canāt possibly be considered the father...ā
āWho else can? And in my eyes only you can be considered the real father. I shall be the mother and what else can you be?ā Charlotte noticed Robert sitting sheepishly on the edge of the bed, his penis still fully erect and still moist with the traces of Josephineās saliva. āOh hello, there! Iām pregnant! At last! All our hard work. Rewarded! The doctor said there was no doubt about it. Weāre going to be parents. You and I, Josephine. Parents! We must get married soon.ā
āWe must! We must!ā Agreed Josephine, who despite her own pleasure was more than a little concerned about what to do with Robert whose services seemed pretty well redundant now.
āIs Susan in? I must tell her the good news. She must know as well.ā
Susan wasnāt in, although she arrived a few hours later with Fatima. Josephine was pleased to see that despite the ostensible reason for inviting Robert around (to assist in getting Charlotte pregnant) was no longer terribly relevant, Charlotte was so overwhelmed with happiness that it wasnāt at all long until the three of them were indulging in as frantic and as single-minded a love session as ever before. Robert was clearly more than a little put out by the manipulative fashion in which he was used by the two lovers, but Charlotte still enjoyed his thrusts into her well-oiled vagina while she delved her tongue deep into Josephineās mouth. He did not appreciate at all the way he was pushed to one side when Susan appeared, wearing just a dildo and a single-breasted jacket, with Fatima wearing nothing but her black silk stockings and stilettos.
āItās happened at last!ā Charlotte announced to Susan who was still consumed in envy at Josephineās much stronger grip on Charlotteās affections. āIām going to be a mother. And Josephineās the father!ā
Fatima and Susan joined in the celebrations and took turns at being fucked by Robert who, however tired he was getting, was stimulated into life by the expert tongues and fingers of the four very voracious women: sometimes penetrating Fatima, sometimes Susan and most often of all Charlotte to whom the other three women always deferred. She had somehow gained a primacy of attention, and Josephine knew this wasnāt merely to do with her being pregnant. For the only woman in the company who ever professed to being a lesbian she was also strangely enough the one who got the most unfeigned pleasure from being fucked by a man. As long as she was also having love made to her at the same time by a woman it didnāt shake her professed preference for lesbian sex. It wasnāt too long until Josephine was huddled into a trio of lovemaking with Susan and Fatima, while Charlotte rocked backwards and forwards under the constant, almost mechanical, thrusts provided by Robert, her legs high in the air, her hands gripping the edges of the bed and sweat running down her brow, over her shoulders and dripping steadily onto the sheets. All the while she observed Fatimaās eyes roaming enviously towards the heterosexual lovemaking, her tongue deep in the rich smells of Susanās vagina and her anus being deeply penetrated by Josephineās fingers.
The news of Charlotteās pregnancy had to be spread. As soon as the lovemaking was over and Charlotte had recovered sufficiently from her spent passions, she was on the telephone to her parents whom Josephine gauged were not quite as overwhelmed with joy at their daughter carrying the child of one of an uncountable selection of men as Charlotte would have liked them to have been. āIt doesnāt matter who donated the sperm,ā Charlotte was explaining, her happiness slightly compromised, āthe real father is Josephine.ā Her lover was touched by Charlotteās unswerving loyalty to her, although she had more than a little sympathy for the parentsā lack of enthusiasm, particularly as she reflected on the decided coolness of her own parents towards even the notion of marriage to a woman. The unalterable fact was that there was no very easy way of tracking down the real father, except by genetic sampling. And that only if the man could be ever located: itself not especially easy in the world of Sex actors.
The next to be informed was Emma, who was at home, although quite clearly Maisie wasnāt. In the few words Josephine had with Emma it was clear that although the woman whom Charlotte believed still deserved that proportion of the affection not reserved for Josephine herself was not so much overwhelmed by happiness with what Charlotte considered as good news as somewhat upset and bitter by the absence from home, on rather more nights than not, of her own lover. Emma was at least very supportive of her best friend, promising to come round almost immediately: a promise that no one doubted she would fulfil.
Emma was soon at the flat, sniffed disdainfully at Robert who was lying asleep on her old bed and greeted Fatima with a distinct lack of affection. But for Charlotte and Josephine she soon submerged her own feelings of bitterness and sadness, and the three women were soon embracing each other on the other bed. Both Josephine and Emma huddled around Charlotteās stomach and vagina, which was rather more notable for the smell of semen and vaginal juice than for any visible traces of pregnancy, although Josephine fancied that, through the taut muscles of Charlotteās stomach, she could feel a swelling sheād not noticed before. Susan and Fatima looked on from a distance: the oriental girlās face seeming rather tragically sad and her dildo quite ridiculous projecting from between her slim thighs; and her lover rather embarrassed and uncomfortable.
However, why should Josephine care? She smiled at Emma, whose face was inches from her own as Charlotte sighed in quiet ecstasy while her two lovers lazily engaged their attention around her lower regions. She looked up at the woman to whom she had announced her paternity and felt overwhelmed by the strength of the passion and love that was projected. She felt thoroughly unworthy of such devotion, particularly as she was still hiding her own infertility and therefore inequality in the two loversā baby-making endeavours. A powerful wave of emotion rippled over her as she reflected on the commitment Charlotte had expressed to her: a commitment which went as far as was humanly possible in a homosexual relationship. A commitment which would soon as much encompass parenthood and marriage as any heterosexual relationship, and one in which she was so much more the equal partner than could otherwise be possible. She kissed Emma tenderly on the lips, and then pulled herself level with Charlotteās face. With unprompted and unfeigned tears coursing down her cheeks she nuzzled her face against Charlotteās and kissed her beautiful lips, eyes and cheeks again and again and again.
Life at the flat had certainly changed since the early days when Charlotte had shared the flat with only Emma and Harriet. Almost as soon as Harriett returned back from her extended tour filming
Sex Abroad
she made preparations to move into Isabelās flat and out of the flat for which sheād be paying the rent in absentia for so long: a rent the amount of which varied quite astonishingly as bewilderingly different numbers of women took residence there. She came back one evening to see how things were, and was a little astonished to find Charlotte and Josephine together making love in the living room, while in Emmaās old room she found Susan and Fatima engaged in post-coital caresses with dribbles of viscous liquid still lubricating the dildo strapped semi-permanently around Susanās waist. Susan leaped up and kissed Harriett passionately on the mouth.
āI thought you were never coming back!ā she exclaimed, admiring Harriettās trim body so brown after exposure to the tropical sun but as always restrained in a pair of shorts and a singlet. āAnd this must be Isabel, who youāve told us so much about in your letters!ā
She gestured towards Isabel, who was standing, topless as always in a sun hat and a long floral skirt down to her sandalled ankles, and tanned a golden brown herself. Her large firm breasts stood out in their full magnificence and even Fatima, so accustomed to Amnaās own surgically enhanced breasts, found them rather a revelation. Isabel smiled at the slim oriental girl with the outsize dildo standing out incongruously from her middle. āPleased to meet you,ā she said. āYou must be Emma.ā
āNo, Emma doesnāt live here any more,ā Harriett remarked. āThis is Susan. And I donāt know who her friend is?ā
