I was visiting my best friends last week. When I told Terry I only intended to stay a couple of days, I was told that it had been entirely too long since my last visit, and I wasn't going anywhere.
What could I say? Like I said, they are my best friends. I'm the one, who introduced them in the first place and within a year they were married. I jokingly say that I screwed up. That I should have kept Terry for myself. Since her husband, Bob and I have the same first name; she always introduces me as her spare husband.
I do love Terry very much and would do anything for her. Bob is the closest thing to a brother, I've ever had. Terry makes no bones about the fact that she loves both of us. A long running joke among us is that she is going to convert to the Mormon Church, so she can have both of us. What is not a joke is her fantasy about being the meat in a Bob sandwich. It nearly happened once before they were married, but that's another story.

Thursday morning, Terry got a call from her older sister. The sister, who lives in Florida was up visiting relatives and wanted to stop by and visit. Her, her two daughters, and the granddaughter were due to arrive, that afternoon. Not wanting to be in the way of the family reunion, I started to pack.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Terry asked when she saw me with my bag.
When I explained my reason for heading home, she said, "Oh no, I want you to meet my sister and nieces. My sister is nothing like me, sort of a stick in the mud but my niece's are just as crazy as I am."
I had to laugh at that before I said, "Oh boy, just what I need, more crazy women. I get away from one and here you are introducing me to some more."
Terry laughed and replied, "Now you behave, they are my family. My sister is married and so is her older daughter. The younger daughter is only nineteen and far too young for you. The family member, I'm trying to fix you up with is my mom but I can't ever get you two in the same place at the same time."
When I grinned a wicked grin at her, she chuckled and said, "I'm taken already."
I leaned forward and kissed her lightly and quickly on the lips before I replied, "That's all right, I can wait. I messed up once and let you get away, it won't happen again."
She grinned and hugged me as she said, "I love you."
I dropped my bag and hugged her back, saying, "I love you too."
Stepping back from me, she said as she turned to walk into the living room, "Now that, that is settled, put that bag back in your room."
I grinned, reached out, and goosed her. She jumped and yelled, whirling around towards me. As she did I picked her up and tossed her onto my shoulder. When she wiggled and tried to get down, I slapped her on the butt and said, "You're being much to bossy, let's see what Bob has to say about this."
I turned around and carried her across the kitchen and down the hall to the bedroom they had converted into an office. As I enter the room I said, "Hey Bob, our wife is getting bossy again."
Looking up from his computer, Bob said, "Well, you seem to have it under control, you handle it."
I said, "Okay." I used my left hand to caress Terry's firm ass through her jeans for a second and then I gave her a medium swat on each ass cheek.
Terry wiggled on my shoulder and said with a laugh, "Oh yes, do that some more, you know how I love to be spanked.
To Bob I said, "I don't think this is working, she enjoys it to much."
"Yeah, that's true." He said, getting up from his chair. He walked around behind me and asked terry, "Have you been bossing Bob around again?"
"I just told him to put his stuff back in his room. He was leaving, just because my sister was coming to visit." She told him.
"Well, she is right Bob, you're not going anywhere. They will be here just for tonight and then they'll head on back to Florida. We've got plans for this weekend. This is the kid's weekend to stay with their dad and we wanted to do a two day river float, just the three of us. Now put her down, she'll behave." He finished with a kiss for Terry.
"Behave? Her? Now that will be something new." I said with a laugh.
When Terry started to protest and to wiggle, I swatted her ass again, a little harder this time. When she yelled, I said, "Hmmm, I'm starting to enjoy this myself."
Bob laughed and said, "Put her down. You might be able to defend yourself against her but I can't. Remember, I have to live with her."
I chuckled and stood Terry on her feet. Looking into her eyes, I said to Bob, "Anytime you want or need some relief, just call me."
He laughed and said, "Not a chance, Bro."
I chuckled again and said, "Just my luck."

Late that afternoon, Terry's sister called from the other end of town, lost. Terry tried to give her directions but ended up going to get her. Bob and I were still out on the patio, when she got back. We stayed back out of the way as the sister and then the nieces all hugged Terry. Then they ganged up to hug Bob.
As they broke up, Terry's sister stopped and gave me a look that asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Terry laughed and made the introductions. "Sis, this is my other Bob." Turning her eyes to me, she said, "This is my older sister, Linda."
"Glad to meet you, Linda." I said as I shook her hand. She was nothing like Terry, that was for sure.
Next, I met Linda's oldest daughter Dee, along with her eight month old daughter. Dee had several tattoos showing and her grin as she shook my hand made me think of Terry's. So the craziness had skipped a generation in this branch of the family.
Dee said, "It's good to finally meet you."
