Author's note: This is the final part of a series of stories under the screen-names Phobos &Deimos and ForTheLoveOfLesbians. It is not necessary to have read those stories to enjoy this one, but please do if the mood hits you. The story thus far…Jason is dating the lovely Janice, who is, in turn, having a relationship with her best friend and roommate, Lily. She has revealed the latter affair to Jason and, after much soul searching (and some girl/girl loving) has decided to bring the two loves of her life together…
* * * * *
Jason and Janice made silly small talk on the way to the restaurant, chatting about work, hobbies, friends and family with little real substance and even less relevance. They made no mention of where they were going, whom they were meeting and what might happen tonight. As they came to the parking lot of the busy, but relatively small and inexpensive eatery, they fell very quiet. Jason parked the car and they both got out, pausing in the warm, breezy evening air to look at each other. Janice was wearing her favorite black dress, not too short, not too low cut, but so perfect on her petite frame. She wore it the first night they made love, but had never since. Jason was pleased she had chosen it again for this night, whatever it was going to be.
For his own part, Jason had chosen snappier apparel than his usual—new khakis and a polo shirt Janice had picked out for him. He felt sexy in this outfit, mostly because Janice kept telling him so and because shortly after they had both dressed and modeled for one another, she'd seduced him into taking it all back off and making love to her. The spontaneous sex had gone a long way toward relieving some of their nerves and tension about tonight, but it was all rushing back again as they reached for one another's hands and headed inside.
The hostess led them to a booth in a secluded area of the restaurant, where Lily was already seated. She jumped up upon seeing them approach, smiling broadly. The couple squeezed hands before disengaging to greet Lily, who hugged Jason and kissed him on the cheek, before doing the same for Janice. After their hug, Lily held her by the wrists and stepped back, sliding her gaze up and down her friend, who was doing the same for her. Lily was wearing a bright red, skin-tight dress over her much more voluptuous body, leaving little to the imagination and no doubt that there were no undergarments, just one hot dress and a pair of sheer red stockings that didn't quite reach the hem. She reached up to adjust the strap on Janice' shoulder.
"Ooh, you wore the 'fuck me' dress…" Lily laughed at Janice' open-mouthed look at her and before anything could be said, placed a long kiss on her lips. Jason stared despite himself. He'd been aware of this for weeks now, but this was his first time seeing it. It was…very erotic and very beautiful. Suddenly, the air was stuffy and warm. He saw a busboy staring from the only visible table nearby and smiled at him. The teen jumped when he realized he'd been seen and took off quickly.
The trio moved into their semi-circular booth, Janice in the middle, and made more small talk as they looked over the menus. Their waitress, an attractive brunette in her late twenties, took their drink orders first. Janice and Lily got a large margarita to share while Jason ordered an imported brew. They were all looking forward to a little alcohol to take away the nerves.
Lily was obviously not as flustered with the situation as her companions were. She talked and laughed throughout the drinks, the meal and dessert, all of which seemed perfect and very relaxing. By the time their check came, all three were more than a little buzzed and feeling very charged. Lily finally broke the ice about why they were here.
"God, I can't believe we're going to do this." Her hand was playing in Janice' hair, who simply smiled back and forth to her and Jason.
Jason shifted slightly in his seat, feeling warmth in his lower body at the sudden reminder of the situation. He smiled back to Janice before looking at Lily. "We've been nervous about it all day, in case you didn't notice. It's…exciting, though." Janice nodded and laughed. She had so much at stake here, the love and friendships of the only two people that really mattered to her right now. She'd thought all day that this might be a horrible idea, but now, suddenly, it felt very right.
"Yeah," Lily smiled, then fell quiet for a moment. She took a last sip of her drink and looked square and serious at Jason. "Look, Jason, I love Jan, it's that simple. I've had a lot of relationships in my life…you might even think me promiscuous. Hell, the first time we met, I blew you in a freight elevator." Jason flushed and smiled, but said nothing.
Lily smiled, too, but continued. "Sex is just a recreation for me, a hobby, if you will. I learned at a young age that I could manipulate men…and, eventually, women, with my sexuality and that I simply loved it. I know that neither of you is this way. Jan was still a virgin when we met in college and I know you're the rare kind of guy who doesn't always think with his dick.
"So, anyway, being as how sex has become such a thing for me, I don't fall in love too often. The last time was probably when I was in high school. Suddenly, this year, when I decided to get back in touch with my…" she paused, laughed and seemed to mentally shrug, "….my lesbo side, I knew I was gonna have some fun with my gal Janice. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with her. I've had sex with friends before, but never one as close and as important to me as this one." She smiled at Janice and reached onto the table to squeeze her hand before returning her gaze to Jason.
"I love her…but she loves you…" Lily held up her hand to stop Janice from responding, as she was preparing to. "I know you love me, too, but not the same way you love Jason. The point is that I agreed to do this because you asked me to, because you think it will make things right. Will it?"
Janice simply stared at her lap blankly. She didn't know what to say, what to think. She knew Lily was right, but she hadn't expected her to be so blunt about it. She felt like crying, but also felt angry at this unusual situation. She was about to excuse herself when Jason spoke up.
"I think so. I mean, I didn't agree to all this for the kink factor, you know. I'm all for the idea of a threesome…I've never had one, dreamed about them for years. But I also realized that they aren't healthy in the context of a loving relationship. And that was what I'd planned on telling you both…despite the fact that my…more primal side is telling me not to. I don't want to lose Janice any more than you do. But I know that she loves you as much as me, in whatever way…and I think that can make all of this work. It's not about the sex...it's about a shared love…" Jason fell quiet very suddenly, embarrassed at his own boldness. He'd been giving it a lot of thought, obviously, but this was the first time he'd made a decision. He wanted to make love to his girlfriend and her best friend. He wanted the three of them to share something special and maybe find something that common sense would say was wrong or unable to work.
Janice, who had been listening to Jason's every word with admiration and a swell of love, leaned over to kiss him deeply. "Thank you, sweetie." She looked to Lily, who smiled and shrugged.
"What the fuck? It'll be the best night of our lives in any event." Lily's sarcasm barely masked her relief and Janice rewarded her with a kiss as well, just as the waitress returned with Jason's credit card. She stood still, stunned as the two women indulged their passions.
Lily broke the kiss and smiled big at the woman. "I'd invite you to join us, but this is just for the three of us tonight, doll." The waitress flushed and walked quickly away. The trio collected themselves and got up to leave. Jason noticed most of the male staff watching them as they left; one even gave him a wink and a thumb up. Jason simply smiled and shook his head.
Despite the fact that all parties knew where they stood now, the drive to Lily and Janice' apartment (they'd decided it would be the most comfortable place for them all) was quiet and a bit tense, but the tension was now of a different variety, a curiosity and expectation about a whole new experience they would soon share. Once inside, Lily mixed them a few more drinks, as the serious conversation at the end of dinner had taken some of their buzzes away.
