As C had said, H was allowed no questions, no explanation, just an expectation that he would accept and enjoy the situation, whatever they C and Jenny decided the situation would be. Its not that he had no choice but that he was starting to feel that he no longer wanted a choice. C had taken the two of them to the top of the hill and driven on; she was in control, H was along for the ride they were clearly picking up speed. Visions of C wrapped in another's arms filled H's idle moments but the other woman was just a figure he'd seen with her back to the camera, in the distance riding a horse.
H wanted to know what was meant when he was told that C and Jenny had plans for him but every time he tried to ask he was told not to worry his little head about it. All he was told was that C and Jenny were talking daily, and among the things they talked about were plans for their next get together. C also told him that she and Jenny were occasionally talking about what his role would be in some future situation.
Days passed and clearly C was walking on air; the chatting and planning with Jenny continued. Their next love tryst would be in a week and it would be a night of passion.
"I can't go there and sleep over wearing a scruffy old t-shirt to bed, buy me something delicate and feminine for the bedroom, something classic." C demanded.
Back to Figleaves and H's choice this time was a pale blue silk camisole with a flower lace trim along with matching French knickers. The price was eye watering but it would match her eyes and look delicious. This time the gift card read 'To C with all my love. Sweet dreams while you sleep and even sweeter passion for you and Jenny in each other's arms.' H imagined her wearing it, looking divine, sexy yet classy but he wondered how he'd feel in just under a weeks time when he knew C would be walking upstairs in Jenny's little cottage, knowing that C would be sultry and seductive for another.
In each of the following days C was bubbling when H spoke with her. Even when she was dressed plainly she looked awesome. It came from within her, a flame of passion that radiated through everything she said and did. Four days to go and she started sending H text messages in between calls. She was raising to temperature between them.
