I was awakened by the sound of Marie starting the shower. Still in a bit of a haze, I chose to remain still, naked, on damp towels. What happened last night? What had happened to my usually so 'normal' Marie? And me, what had come over me? Usually reserved and in control, something animalistic had come over me last night. What about that plan Maria had sat in motion to help Sarah get a child of her own?
So many questions, so few answers. I recalled the events by the pool, the ladies swimming in their bikinis, my friend stepping away, the sly comments, the flashing. I also recalled what happened afterwards. Samuel groping Sarah in front of us, me and Marie taking initiative in the shower, and the revelation that she and Sarah had manipulated Samuel, and then convinced me to help them impregnate Sarah. The intensity of our lovemaking last night, Marie had awakened something... something feral in me.
Marie came out of the shower, and started to dry her brown hair. It was the day before the wedding and I had agreed to Marie's and Sarah's plan. What was now to come? Marie came out without makeup on, still beautiful, but with frizzled hair. She looked at me, lovingly, clean and smelling of lavender shower gel, her favorite. She was almost naked, with just some 'hipster' panties on. She returned to the bathroom to finish getting ready after just blowing me a kiss when she saw I was awake.
I got up, took a piss first and foremost, then got in the shower to wash away the smell of sex that I was reeking of. I saw Marie through the glass door of the shower, standing in front of the mirror, rubbing some of her creams on herself and then some others in her hair.
I got out of the shower, joined her in front of the mirror, giving her a gentle kiss on her left shoulder, then her cheek, then on the mouth. I brushed my teeth and put on some deodorant, leaving my stubble for tomorrow, better clean shaving on the day of the wedding than before, I decided. I liked having a beard, but for formal occasions, I always shaved. And my best friend's wedding was, indeed, formal.
Especially as I was the best man, as well.
Before last night, Maria and I had planned to hike up a mountain nearby, and for me to finish my speech, which I was still working on. I decided to start talking.
"Good morning, beautiful,"
I said to Marie.
She did not answer right away, instead, focusing on her mascara.
"So, last night... last night was a thing. I didn't know we had that in us,"
I continued.
She glanced over at me.
"Yeah, I surprised myself, too,"
she said, as she put away her makeup.
"So... now what? Is today still on, or has something changed?"
I asked, unsure what to make of the previous day's events.
"Yeah, we just have to make sure everything is finished for tomorrow before we head out."
Marie turned to face me.
So we both made some calls to friends and family; then to Sarah and Samuel to say that the guests were on their way, and that nothing was amiss with the food, the ceremony, and everything else that goes into helping planning a wedding. By eleven, we were done, everything was in order. So Marie and I set off, still in silence, to the mountain we had planned to hike up.
To my surprise, I saw that Sarah was waiting in the parking lot to the trail. She looked stunning, her face lighting up in a smile as she saw us. She walked up to us, and leaned in Marie's window.
"Hey there, sleep well?"
she asked, and winked as she leaned through the window to give Marie a light kiss on her cheek.
"Like the dead,"
I answered.
Sarah laughed and fixed me with her ice blue eyes.
"Yeah, I bet, after last night..."
Had she heard us? Did she know I had agreed to their plan?
She saw that my mind raced and continued, still having me fixed in the icy depth of her eyes.
"Yeah, good thing we were alone in the mansion last night; we heard the last hurrah of you both! It sounded like you gave her what she needed, and then some."
She gave me a wink that almost made me melt.
Marie laughed at the comment, and drew Sarah's gaze away from me to her.
"Yeah, fair to say we had a 'thing' last night, or what do you say, dear?"
Marie turned to me, to see how I would react.
I grew a shade redder and blushed, to my surprise.
"Yeah,"
was all I could get out.
I made to get out of the rented car, and Marie did the same.
We got out and I walked around the back of the car to get our backpacks, and as I did, Sarah came around, too, and gave me a lingering hug, as Marie looked on.
Still a bit nervous, I asked the two gorgeous creatures if we should get going. They both agreed. I set off on the trail, it was a seven-mile hike up and the same back. So I set quite a quick pace to make sure we made it up and back in good time.
We made our first stop at a lookout, close to halfway to the top. I set down my backpack and placed myself on a cut log that acted as a bench. The view was stunning; it was a mixed day, it had rained last night so the ground let out the moisture as the sun rose, making a light fog that dissipated as it ascended the mountain.
Sarah got to me first, Marie close behind; both with sweat on their brows, but a smile from both greeted me.
