This is a continuation from the first two parts of "Lights Out," which you obvious know from the title. I recommend reading the first two parts first, as there's no recap or much given on the back-story. I've appreciated the feedback so far, but want to say that I've always known where this story is going when I started part one. Even if it doesn't end how you were hoping or expected, I hope people enjoy the journey. It will be concluded in Part 4.

"Hey, are you fucking my wife?" Harrison asked angrily as he blocked Marc's car door.
"Harry, I don't... why would you even ask that." Marc had his hands up defensively.
"I know you were in our room last night -- with Riley -- while Reg was fucking Tess in the other room. Beth's already admitted that you four have some arrangement, which she 'witnessed.' I'm not a fuckin' idiot, Marc, and have known you forever. You wouldn't have the balls to do that to Beth in front of me unless you knew in advance that she had no problem with it."
Marc looked at the ground. "I was drunk... Sorry... I..."
"Don't fuck with me," Harrison gave him a shove, "Fuck, you knew what Cecilia messing around did to me. Tell me the fuckin' truth."
"She isn't Cecila. Beth loves you and made it clear that no matter what she said, I wasn't supposed to penetrate her last night. Even if you ended up fucking Riley...And I never would."
"Oh, last night... What about when she 'witnessed' everything?"
"We never screwed like that... Look, it wasn't that often..."
Harrison shook his head. "Like that... But you seen her naked... she's seen you naked. Has my wife ever sucked your cock, Marc?"
"Talk to her... please..."
Harrison shook his head. "My best-fuckin' friend has come in my wife's mouth... Haven't you?"
"It wasn't supposed to happen... just got out of hand once... She wasn't trying to cheat on you; she wants to share a side of her she's been too scared to bring up and things went crazy..."
"Share a side of her that she already shares with my friend and I assume Reg -- I know she fucked him. Did you watch Reg fuck my wife?"
Marc avoided his glance. "Harry, she wants you to be with my girlfriend and Riley -- all together. It was weird for me at first, but give it chance."
Harrison snorted. "And if I don't?"
Marc shrugged. "Beth said she's done."
"And if I'm done with her? I want to know how long this has been going on behind my back."
Marc half-smiled. "Hey, can't tell me you didn't have fun last night..."
"Which, again was my wife deceiving me..."
"It was her trying to explain the truth, I think. Please, talk to her don't do anything rash..."
Harrison pointed at Marc aggressively. "Don't say a damn word that I know there was more to this -- not to Beth or Tess. I'm going to give her one chance to tell the truth - everything. She lies and it's over. We have to remain civil because of work, but tip her off and I'll fire your ass and ruin you. Do anything behind my back with her again and I'll kill you. Not even as much as a peck on the cheek."
Harrison's mind was over-thinking everything to the point he had a migraine. How did he have to find suspicion in the best night of sex in his life? Marc was right, this was different than Cecilia, whom he forgave and took back only to come home with a letter she's leaving him. He wouldn't have done as well in his career if he wasn't able to remain calm and be rationale through stressful situations and conflict. One thing he did know was Beth was the best thing to happen to him. No matter how she betrayed him, he still loved her, but wasn't sure that was enough.
When he arrived home, she was sitting on the couch downstairs, where they fucked in the dark in front of their friends the night before.
"We need to talk..." Harrison said calmly.
Beth had a look of relief on her face. "Okay, honey..."
Harrison sat in the couch beside, noticing it smelled like cleaner. Beth must have been cleaning up after last night's activities. "Before last night, how far did you really go with them since we've been married? The truth."
"Harry, I..." Beth stopped and shook her head. Tears forming. "I never let Marc or Reg go in my vagina. No one but you. I was really drunk and lost control and other stuff happened with them... just the one time -- before last night. Other than that, I was a hundred percent faithful."
"And the women?"
"I've been intimate with other women... you know I'm bisexual... but only been in love with you."
"Since we've been married, how many women?"
"I... it only happened during their sessions. For the most part I watched."
Harrison sighed. "How many times with the women with -- I presume - Marc and Reg there to watch..."
"I don't know, I was just watching for quite a while to start... Maybe eight times... It wasn't a regular occurrence... Once, maybe a few times a year."
"So, you felt bad for doing this behind my back and set yesterday up to get me to join in with the five of you?"
"Yes..." Her voice got small. In the time with her, he's never seen Beth not been loud and confident. While he never backed down, he always was the quiet one in their arguments, which often made her madder. "Harrison, can I ask you something?"
He nodded.
"Are you leaving me?"
"No... I don't think so." He rubbed his head. "I'm angry -- not just at you -- for being lied to like that... But, if you were willing to tell me everything, I'm willing to make this work... If I find out you're leaving anything out, I am leaving you."
"Thank you. I promise to never do anything like that again... and I think Tess is in love with me... She snuck into the shower with me after you left. And... at our wedding, Riley was with me and Marc walked in. I got dressed right away, watched them for a bit and left. That is everything, please don't ask for details."
"To be honest, last night was incredible. It pissed me off that I thought it was too good to be true and it was." Harrison got up. "I need some space from our 'friends' and process all this."
"I will have nothing to do with them -- especially Tess," said Beth.
Harrison sat beside her and took her hand. "The other activities, yes. If I'm not present, I don't want you alone with any of them -- including the women - until I'm sure nothing is happening without me. Never again, even for coffee. Now with me, the other activities are maybe..."
"Harrison?" Beth smiled and kissed him.
"I need time to cool down -- otherwise, I'll punch Reg and knock his teeth in. Nearly punched Marc already. But... I might be willing to go slow... no more in the dark though...I need time to process."
"Really, lights out can be fun" Beth said with a grin.
It took at least a month before Harrison and Beth acted like there wasn't a big elephant in the room. There were many nights of not talking and Harrison sleeping in a spare bedroom. It was a trust issue, not a sex issue, which Beth seemed to understand. Following what Harrison said, Beth hadn't been alone with any of the other people involved, and made sure her husband knew where she was at all times. She set up her phone so he could see on it where hers was. Harrison said it wasn't necessary, but she said it was, and that her new goal was to re-earn his trust. Eventually, they started talking normally as before, which led to having sex normally as before.
It took another four months before Harrison could be in the same room with either Marc or Reg. For some reason, knowing his wife was intimate with Riley or Tess didn't bother him at all -- it actually was a turn on. It was mostly Reg. The scrawny runt that fucked his wife's pussy before he did and then fucked his wife's ass while they were married. If it wasn't for the prospect of getting another blowjob from Riley and then fucking her, Harrison would've made the ultimatum of not seeing them at all. Harrison knew whatever he got to do with Riley, he had to be all right with seeing Reg doing the same to his wife. As well as knowing Reg had already pretty much done everything with Beth. With Marc, like Beth, it was more the lies than the sex. Marc, like Beth, seemed to realize that and wanted to prove nothing like that would happen again.
Lying in the beds in the spare room after having mid-afternoon sex on a Sunday, Harrison said, "Remember that night, you said that I've had sex with more people than you..."
Beth sighed. "I believe that is kinda true depending on context..."
"Context? I have had sex -- counting you -- with nine, no ten women. I married young the first time."
"How many were you emotionally involved and the goal was mutual pleasure?"
Harrison shrugged. "All of them. Isn't that the point?"
"If that act is sex, then it's been five people -- including you. You know two of the others..." Beth said sitting up and reaching for her clothes.
"How many?"
"Harrison, do you really want to know the answer? I will tell you."
He nodded.
Beth sighed as she grabbed a towel and began wiping the semen off her body. "Too many for me to remember and number. They were nothing to me, didn't want to know them and didn't care if they enjoyed what happened or not. In my mind, they were a big warm sex-toy to get me off."
"How many with safe sex?"
Beth reached and touched her hand. "Harrison, when I knew we were serious, I got tested... fully tested... I hadn't had a STD for months before we met and didn't have as much as a cold sore before... Which, I admit was pure luck."
"How many?"
