Lydia made a show of welcoming me inside and leading me to her kitchen, as though nothing was out of the ordinary. She pointed out the food that we needed to carry over, as well as some special spice mixes for it, to be brushed on while I grilled.
We got everything arranged on a couple of full trays, but then Lydia paused.
"Today was your appointment, wasn't it?"
"Yes, Mistress, it was," I answered.
"Charlotta is wonderful, isn't she?"
"Yes, Mistress. She was quite amazing and intense."
There was a hum, but this time it was Lydia's phone. She quickly looked down to check it, then smiled as she read a message.
"I need you to turn, bend over the kitchen island there, and loosen your belt," she said, without explanation.
One look made it clear she was not kidding. I turned, opened my belt, and started to lean forwards. She came right up behind me and without ceremony or comment, she reached around and tugged my jeans and underwear down to my knees. She used her feet to guide my legs as wide as they would go.
With her cold soft fingers, she reached for the base of the plug inside me. Given its size, it took some tugging and twisting for her to get my body to release it, and I moaned as the widest part of it stretched me. I felt so open and empty and pathetically stretched wide... but only for a moment. The tip of the toy never left me and, after a moment or two, she just thrust the thing back inside.
"You can get dressed again," she said. "Liam just wanted to be sure how big it was. He said once he's done fucking Cheryl's ass, he wanted her plugged just as full as you were."
She went right back to her preparations. I pulled myself back together and stood up, feeling her words and the whole situation sink over me. The words I'd spoken to Mistress Charlotta were true. It wasn't just that I would give my marriage to Liam -- it seemed that I already had.
Lydia didn't mention it again, so neither did I. We both just went about our business like we were two good friends and neighbours, preparing a barbeque. We took our time but after a while, everything was ready and there was nothing to do but head back.
When we returned to my back hard, through the fence gate, Liam and Cheryl were gone. We both knew where they were, and neither of us mentioned it, though Lydia was smiling rather widely.
"Do you think you'll go see Charlotta again," Lydia asked, once we were settled in our seats again, our drinks back in our hands.
I couldn't help but look around, to make sure we were truly still alone, even though everyone knew how I'd spent my afternoon. It was becoming more challenging to keep track of who was supposed to know what, and how they knew.
"I'm... I'm not sure. It was intense and powerful, but I think the focus still became on Master, and about what that might mean for the future," I answered, trying to figure things out for myself at the same time as forming the words to reply.
"Well, you're fortunate in that sense," she said.
"Am I?" I asked. "Why is that?"
"Oh Crissy, don't you understand? I'm sure that Liam has talked about this with you. These choices, these hard decisions about your future and your relationships and what to do... They aren't yours to make anymore. Liam makes them for you. All you have to do is obey and focus on pleasing him. Pleasure him and, when he chooses, those others he places in your life. That's all."
I looked at her, feeling stunned. I felt a tingling heat rising up from my chest slowly until it seemed to consume my whole head.
"Do you... do you really... do you really think that's true?" I stammered.
"Crissy, answer this one question as fast as you can, without thinking. Ready?"
"Yes," I said, staring at her.
"Are you happy?"
"Yes."
My answer came out and sort of surprised even me.
"Are you having amazing sex?"
"Yes."
"Are you successful?"
"Yes."
Lydia's smile covered her entire face.
"And right now, my husband is in your house, railing your pretty bride in the ass. Between my husband and me, we've given her more pure pleasure and more orgasms than she's had in years. She loves you, sweetie, but trust me, she's happier now too."
"I... I don't know... I still don't know..." I felt so unsure as I tried to speak.
"Tell me, Crissy," Lydia purred.
"I still don't know if she's going to accept me. Like this. As Liam wants me."
Lydia reached out and held my hand.
"I don't know either. I think that you've been released to change a lot in the last few weeks. I know that Cheryl has too. I can tell you, and I'm not just saying this because I'm fucking him, that I can't think of anyone better to place this problem with than Liam. You've trusted him with everything else. Trust him with this."
Her hand was warm and her touch was kind.
"If it helps," she continued, "You don't have any other choice."
There was a beat of silence, and then something let go and I just started laughing. Lydia's eyes lit up and she started giggling right along with me. The release felt incredible and the tension seemed to evaporate from me.
"Did I miss a joke?" Liam asked, appearing within the opening sliding door.
