A Unique Life. Part Two
This was originally meant to be a longish one part story, but it continued to grow to the point that I felt I had to divide it into three parts. I hope that readers will see it through to the end to get the full flavor of the story. Each part has a slightly different emphasis, but they are all important to the whole. While there is a goodly amount of erotica, this is primarily a story about life, and the many forms of love that can exist within. For those looking for a quick kink-filled romp, this likely isn't the story for you. But for those readers who may be interested in an exploration of a different type of life, and loves, I hope you will read on. And even more so, I hope you will enjoy.
Our new life arrangement probably would have failed miserably at its outset if Susan hadn't taken charge immediately. She set up a structure from the very start. She didn't do it in a domineering or demeaning way, but did do so with a firm authority. She would be going back to work full time, as I continued to do. Jack was to make ample time every day from his at home writing profession, to fully take care of all of the household maintenance in our apartment. At first, she gave him a comprehensive and all encompassing list of chores that would be his sole responsibility. I saw this as being way too demanding and unreasonable, even though I had agreed to give it all a chance. But it soon became apparent that Jack needed no direction, that he viewed it all as his vocation, and was fully invested in getting it all right. And before long, our apartment had never been so clean and well kept, and continued to always remain so. Even Susan could find no reason to complain.
Each workday evening, we would come home to find a never less than delicious dinner, which Jack had prepared, waiting for us. We all ate together, bantering, joking, and sharing stories of our day. Susan still remained somewhat more reserved with Jack, but never in an unpleasant way.
Respecting the original agreement, at the end of each night, before Jack would leave for his own place, we set aside time for a formal worship ritual. After he finished his after dinner clean-up, he would be summoned, in the beginning always by Susan, but as time went on, I acquiesced and would occasionally do so as well. He would come and kneel in front of us. With a nod from us, he would then begin to kiss our bared feet. It was a physical act that held a very special significance and resonance for him, as it would come to be for us as well. I was squeamish with it at first because of how I felt about him. But as time went on, I came to see and understand how much it meant to him, and from that, how much it would come to mean to me.
As he kissed our feet, he would profusely thank us for allowing him to serve us that day, and promised to continually strive to be better in his duties. He would then beseech us to accept him in service for another day, which we would always benevolently grant. Bowing further down, he would touch his forehead to the floor, kiss all of our feet once more, and then leave in silence.
Though I was initially very reticent and unsettled with the ritual, especially with the foot veneration and Jack abasing himself so, it was readily evident how vital it seemed to be for Jack. And to Susan. And I came to accept it myself as an important connection, in this separate regard, between he and I as well.
And it didn't take long for the intensity of Jack's worship to stimulate, after he would leave, more intimate desires between my lover and I. The fires it often ignited between us hadn't been as hot and steamy in quite some time, and the delight and happy feelings this engendered even spilled over into our everyday lives. We both frequently noticed in each other an extra spring in our steps and sparkle in our eyes.
This also extended to our ongoing relationship with Jack. His naturally good nature and bonhomie made everything easier. Except for his specifically designated duties, and his nightly worship ritual, we continued to interact and even grow as the very good friends that we had become. We shared activities, went out to shows, movies, concerts, and sometimes just watched TV together. We even went on a two week vacation to Italy together. There is everything to be said and savored for having a manservant on vacation with you, taking care of all the arrangements and accommodations, hauling about all the luggage, carrying around all of our packages when sight shopping, and handling any of the few unpleasantries that may occur along the way. Of course, we also went on to have all of this when we were at home as well.
So as events progressed, I did become more comfortable and accepting of our situation, as Jack seemed happy and we remained the close friends that I wanted us to continue to be. I enjoyed his company immensely, and he always made me feel good and confident in myself. It was not the type of bond or feelings which I could only ever share with my partner Sue, the love of my life. But I knew, in ways that I couldn't explain, that I had come to share something different and special with him. It was, though, a small concern to me that Sue didn't seem to hold him in this same regard, and that she seemed to have very different reasons for wanting him around.
It was after a particularly enjoyable sexual tryst with her, that I began to wonder for the first time about Jack's own sexual life and experience. I chided myself that as his very close friend, I hadn't ever considered it before. It was a joy and enjoyment that everyone should have. Because of all the time spent with us, he didn't seem to have any other non-work life at all, so what opportunity could he ever have for that particular, but very important aspect in life. He certainly didn't, and couldn't have it with us. It was not something we could ever offer him. When I mentioned these thoughts to Sue, she didn't seem at all concerned.
"Well, we haven't ever forbidden it, nor would we, so I'm sure that he takes care of himself when he's home alone."
It's not that I hadn't thought of that, but it did bother me, for his sake.
"That has to be so lonely and lonesome for him" I lamented.
"What can we do about it" she countered. "You can't be suggesting that we somehow get involved with his male carnal needs. What can you possibly be thinking."
"Well, maybe not directly" I mused, an idea forming in my head. I held up my hand to forestall any further protests, while I took a few moments to let it more solidly firm up in my mind. I then anxiously broached the bare bones of it to her. To my surprise and relief, she didn't reject it out of hand.
"I guess that might actually be somewhat exciting, and even arousing to us, in a kinky sort of way" she admitted.
"But it might not be all that for him" I worried.
She smiled devilishly. "But I don't see why it wouldn't be. Okay then, since you're the one so hot and bothered by the lack of his supposed needs, I'll let you ask him if he wants to try something like this. If so, I'm willing to give it a go sometime."
It was more than I expected and could have asked for from her. But then I was very apprehensive about how he would react to such a conversation, never having suggested in any way this topic with him before. And I didn't have any idea about how to approach him about it. But the longer I hesitated, the more I knew that it was something I wanted and had to do. So, one evening when I arrived home from work well before Sue, and was alone with him, I screwed up my courage, and plowed tremulously ahead.
"Jack," I started cautiously, "can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, Kel, any time, you know that."
"It's personal. About you."
He flushed a little bit. "Well, I don't think there are many secrets about myself that I have from you anymore" he answered.
"Okay, let me ask then. After your worship each night, when you go home, do you think about Susan and me?"
