*************************************************************
It felt like Wednesday took a while to arrive. We both worked, and Cece got to my house about 530. She gave me a big smile, and went upstairs to shower and change. We'd been together long enough at this point that we kept stuff at both houses - I'd cleared out a nightstand and closet space for her, and she'd done the same. So it was easy for her to shower, change, and for us to eat - I grilled steak while she showered.
And as we were eating, we talked about our coming meeting with... come to think of it, we didn't even know her name. The idea was that we'd meet for a drink at the hotel bar and then, if everyone felt comfortable, move upstairs to a room where the woman would watch Cece and I fuck madly. We both hoped it would work.
"So... what 'rules' do you want to have in place?" I started.
Cece drank some water. "Y'know, I don't know that I like having 'rules.' I'd like to just let it play out. Do you mean if she changes her mind and wants to join?"
I nodded. "Exactly. I don't think we need any guidelines if she just watches."
Cece nodded. "Yep, I think that's right. Well, I'd say let's just go with the flow. If it turns out to be a free-for-all threesome, let's just run with it. If you get uncomfortable with anything let me know. And vice-versa."
"That sounds reasonable enough. Just worth figuring out ahead of time."
She nodded, and then chuckled. "You know who would be green with envy?"
I thought for a second. "Mags?"
She nodded. "She'd be pissed if anything happens and she wasn't invited."
"Co-worker. And mentor. That could get dicey very quickly."
Cece nodded. "Oh, I know. She's really happy for us. But she's still a little jealous."
"Well, hope she meets someone nice." And I meant it - I'd gotten to know her a little bit from the various social events we'd been to for Cece's work. She was a very attractive woman and a nice person to boot. And if I'd met her I'd certainly have asked her out. But the universe works in strange ways, and had apparently decided to put Cece and me together.
"Yeah, me too," Cece said. "So - this is a little out of left field, but if there's a function that I can't go to because I'm working, would you go with her?"
I looked at her a little sideways. "Is this a trick question?"
She laughed and shook her head. "No, not at all. Not like I could get jealous, right, if I'm the one suggesting it."
"Well, pardon the clichΓ©, but if it'd make you happy, then sure."
I hadn't realized that Cece had tensed up a little bit asking, and now relaxed.
"You would? Thank you - it would make me happy - she's had a rough year."
I dimly saw the falling log. "You've got something in mind, don't you?"
She grinned. "Well, maybe. I'm trying to foist off my shift that night, but nobody is biting yet. I haven't mentioned it to her, either - if you'd said 'hell no' or similar that'd be it."
"OK, this is really going to be clichΓ©, but I love you too much to do anything dumb."
She laughed again and kissed me. "I know. And I feel the same. If you change your mind just let me know."
And so we finished our discussion and dinner, brushed our teeth, changed into our 'going out' clothes, and headed out. It was kind of funny - Cece's going out outfits had gotten more and more revealing the longer we'd been together. So tonight she was wearing a snug and moderately low cut top that hinted at her cleavage and gave anyone who looked a good idea that her boobs would be quite spectacular - as indeed they are. And a pair of tight jeans with no panties, although she'd brought a pair with her.
"Well, if it goes well, I'd rather be leaking into a pair of panties than my jeans," had been her explanation, which made perfect sense.
So we got to the bar a little early, and before long a woman walked in who looked a lot like the pictures she'd sent - even if we hadn't traded face pictures. Cece nudged me - "That's her" - and waved. The woman saw, smiled, and walked over as we stood to greet her.
"Hi! I'm Cece. This is Bob. Nice to meet you!"
The woman chuckled. "We never did names, did we? I'm Dawn. Nice to meet you!"
