Chapter 3, The Threesome.
Entwined in each other's arms, Lucy and Brenda let their passion ebb. An occasional nibble here, a kiss there, slowing as the light in the room faded to black, sleep overtook them.

After Brenda left the Bulls and Bears Tavern, Alice and the rest of the "drinking" family sat at a long table towards the back of the tavern. Pitchers of beer in various stages of emptiness cluttered the table along with glasses, purses, and crushed empty packs of cigarettes.
"Excuse me, Miss." A gentleman in his early 40's leaned in between Alice and her ex-sister-in-law, Joan.
"I couldn't help noticing you." he said to Alice, "Are you a friend of the family?"
Alice laughed. "Hardly." she said, "I'm the ex-wife of the departed. I guess that makes me the ex-widow." Alice had drunk just enough beer to loosen her tongue, but really wasn't trying to be disrespectful; it just sort of came out that way.
"Oh, I see." He said. "Well, may I introduce myself? I am Sean Ginnes. I'm a regular here at Bulls and Bears, and I know I hadn't seen you in here before."
"I'm pleased to meet you, Sean Ginnes. I am Alice and this is my ex-sister-in-law Joan. Would you care to join us?"
Alice moved to the empty chair to her left, which opened up a chair between her and Joan. Sean took the seat, setting his empty glass down in front of him.
"Let me fill your glass, Sean." Joan said.
The light conversation began as it always does. Where they lived and what they did for a living. How nice the tavern is. And of course, Sean being a gentleman complimented each of the ladies on their looks and the nice dresses and how sexy they looked in them. Sean told them that he was a buyer of ladies underwear and foundation garments for a large department store chain. Of course that brought jokes from the women about getting into ladies panties. They laughed heartily.
"How do you know what women want in underwear, Sean?" Joan asked.
"Oh, we have lots of different ways. We send out questionnaires in the mail and over the Internet. We also do some personal research."
"I bet you do.," said Alice. "And are you wanting to survey our panties?"
"That's is a nice thought." Sean said laughing. "Are you volunteering?"
"I wouldn't do your research very much good I'm afraid." Joan said. "I'm not wearing any panties." She and Alice began to laugh and Sean quickly joined them.
Alice lied and said, "I just only wear the old tried and true white cotton panties, Sean. Nothing special about me."
"I bet you that I have some samples in my sample case that both of you would like. I don't want to seem forward but if you would like to see them I would be happy to show them to you."
Joan winked at Alice. "I'm game if Alice is."
"Hell, why not." Alice laughed. "There sure as hell isn't much going on here. Just where is your sample case, Sean?"
"At my home of course." Sean answered. "I don't live too far from here would you care to come over? I can also mix us a drink if you like."
Joan turned to Alice, "You want to?"
Alice shrugged, "I'm game if you are. He is kind of nice looking, ya know."
"Sure, Sean." Joan said. "You lead the way and we'll follow behind you."
The three exited the tavern. Sean's car was not far from the front door, but the women, who had decided to take Brenda's car, were parked around the side. Sean pulled out and slowly followed until they had entered the car and started up to pull out. Then he pulled into the street. Alice was driving and she pulled out to follow him. Sean's house was about 2 miles away in an upper middleclass neighborhood. Nice yards, brick mailboxes at the curbs, yellow bug lights on at the front doors. Sean's house was a two-story Cape Cod with a wide front porch that set back from the street a good ways. The driveway circled to the left so that the garage doors were not really viewable from the street. Pulling into the driveway, the garage door opened at a touch of Sean's remote and he pulled in. Alice followed, stopping just outside the garage door. The women got out of their car as Sean beckoned them to come into the garage. The door entering the house from the garage opened into a nice size laundry room/pantry just off of the kitchen. There was another door that opened into a short hall that lead to the living room, front door and the rest of the house. Sean led the women to the living room. "If you will have a seat, ladies, I'll get my sample case." Joan arranged herself in a large overstuffed chair off to the side of the fireplace. Alice sat on a nice low loveseat.
"You going to fuck him, Joan?" Alice whispered.
"What about you, Alice?" she replied. "We haven't done a threesome since back before you married Don."
"I was thinking that same thing." Alice said. "Hell, I don't know about this guy. Yeah he looks ok. I might be up for it but let's not rush into anything. OK?"
"Ok, Alice. I'm cool with that, but you know me, I do like fuck strange guys and we've been so good at threesomes in the past, ya know."
"I know"
