Finally, it was agreed!
Honey, Claire and John would go for dinner and return to John's flat afterwards. Claire told her husband she was attending a work conference in the Midlands.
Honey met Claire dog waking. They had immediately got on well and met at seven-thirty every morning. Claire was forty-three, Honey guessed a size 14, very pretty with large breasts. Claire revealed that her marriage had been sexless for four years and had recently started to read erotica.
Honey had told her about her open relationship with her partner and the fun she had with various sexual partners, the latest of whom was John. He was a very well-endowed plumber who was a friend of one of Honey's previous partners.
One evening they had been out for a drink and after a few glasses of wine, Honey had suggested a threesome with John. Initially shocked, Claire said she would think about it. After numerous conversations, phone calls, texts, e-mails and a meeting with John, Claire said she was up for it.
They decided on a Chinese dinner. John sat next to Claire and Honey sat opposite her. Honey wore a tight-fitting black skirt and a white blouse. Claire wore a medium-length black dress with black thigh-high stockings and black three-inch heels. During the meal, the conversation flowed easily. Claire occasionally played footsy with Honey, which amused Honey. Unbeknown to Honey John placed his hand on Claire's thigh several times. Claire didn't complain and Honey noticed she moved subtly closer to John during the meal.
They drank two bottles of a South African Chenin Blanc between them so they were all very merry as John asked for the bill. To Honey's surprise, the waiter brought the bill over and a 50th birthday cake accompanied it. John had arranged it with the restaurant and Honey was delighted. Embarrassingly though everyone I the restaurant sang "Happy Birthday to You". Honey wished the ground would swallow her but sat through it. Once they had a slice of the cake (and gratis coffee) they left quickly. It was a short stagger to John's flat and they giggled drunkenly all the way there.
John opened another bottle of Chardonnay (all he had in) and poured three glasses.
"To us three," he said as a toast.
"Cheers," echoed Honey and Claire.
They all sat on a spacious blue leather settee. John's flat contained an unusual combination of furniture and furnishings. Most of it was modern but with nostalgic touches such as a retro lava lamp and a wooden 1970s music centre with a neat pile of LPs.
John switched on the music centre and thumbed through his LP collection. He pulled out a Barry White Greatest Hits album and removed the shiny black disc from the sleeve. He carefully lifted the arm of the record player and placed the disc on the spindle. He flicked a switch which started the LP spinning and carefully placed the needle on the edge of the record.
The song was 'Can't get enough of your love, Babe.' John beckoned Honey and Claire to join him. The three of them smooched along to the music, arms wrapped around each other. John moved his right hand down to Honey's bum and gave it a gentle squeeze. Honey moved closer and opened her mouth to accept his full-lipped kiss. John's full lips were one of her favourite features about him. He then kissed Claire, she too savoured his full lips and compared them favourably to her husband's thinner mouth. They kissed for some time as they tasted each other and their tongues explored one another's mouths fully. They eventually broke off and Honey then kissed Claire. Both Honey and Claire were slightly shocked at this development but it felt right. It was the first time either had kissed another girl.
They became aware of the song changing in the background. It was paying the fourth track so ten minutes had already passed. John kissed Claire again but this time Honey joined in too. The three tongues entwined with each other like three tiny snakes wrestling. John pushed the two ladies' heads together and he now had a hand on each of their bums. His right hand moved up Honey's back and his left caressed Claire's as they kept alternate kissing. He moved his hand up to Claire's shoulders and slipped the strap of her dress off her right shoulder.
He kissed her neck and then kissed her collarbone tenderly. Claire's cleavage was exposed a little more as her dress slipped unconstrained by the strap. John kissed the top of her breasts as Claire made eyes at Honey, demonstrating her pleasurable sensations. Honey winked back, as John eased Claire's strapless bra down a little further. Her erect bright pink nipples popped out and John released the other dress strap. Both the dress and the bra were now around her waist and John's tongue was savouring her nipples as his hands felt around her back. Honey too had started to undo the buttons on her blouse and she admired Claire's breasts which were larger than her own. Honey's blouse dropped to the floor as track five, 'Just The Way You Are', started on the record player.
