I had made my home on one of the islands of Belize, not far from the capital city, Belize City, while I waited for my legal immigration paperwork to be processed so I could live with Heidi ( my gf) in California.
She had made her new life in Humboldt country, discovering the amazing energy of the Redwoods' and the Pacific Ocean's power.
After many conversations with me over the last year, Heidi embraced the idea of having an extra boyfriend. I was finding my cuckolding desires deeper in the new long-distance dynamic due to my inability to live with Heidi and her discovering the benefits of taking a "surrogate" lover in California.
Unknown to me, Joseph and Heidi, as well as two of Heidi's best girlfriends from California, had landed in Belize City.
The humid air of the Belize city was like a wave of heat as Joseph and Heidi adjusted to the new climate. They were enjoying the balmy Caribbean weather compared to the cool Humboldt air, having just travelled from Northern California. Heidi looked up at the strong man's face, who reached out his hand as he assisted her out of the taxi that had taken them from the airport to the ferry terminal, where they were about to board a boat for the island where I had been living.
After Joseph pulled luggage from the trunk, he took Heidi's hand, and they made their way through the local crowd to the terminal.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Heidi?" He asked with his low, masculine voice that seemed to catch Heidi deep in her soul.
"Absolutely," she whispered back. Andre will love this surprise, and I am excited about how your ideas have helped create a fantastic plan for our... celebration." She searched for the word to describe their ceremony plans: "Joseph, thank you for being part of this non-traditional relationship."
Joseph smiled as he made his way to the ticket booth to purchase the tickets.
He returned with tickets for the ferry, and while he was making the acquisition, Heidi turned around. Her two friends had also just arrived from the airport.
"You made it!" she shouted over the crowd's noise. The three embraced, and Joseph joined them as they all made intrductions. Joseph had not met these two close friends of Heidi's who had agreed to be an active part in their ceremony and were excited to be out of the cold weather they had left in Humboldt County, where they had flown from.
Their ride from the city through the islands to where I lived was full of laughter and sharing stories. As Heidi's friends got to know Joseph, they understood why she was so enraptured by him. His confidence, blended with an amicable personality, made everyone feel at ease, and his strong presence made all three women feel really safe in this new cultural adventure.
When they arrived on the island, they went to a restaurant close to the ferry dock, and Heidi called me.
When I picked up the phone, I was surprised to hear her voice, and I had no idea what the real surprise was when she told me she was on my island and asked me for directions to my place.
After the initial shock, I gave her simple directions so she could walk to my place. I heard laughter in the background and asked who was with her. Then, I realized she had brought her boyfriend, Joseph, whom we had spoken of a lot as she had built her relationship over the past few months. She also mentioned that her two girlfriends were with them, but they had a hotel room rented nearby and would join us later after we all had a chance to settle in.
I was thrilled and anxious as I realized the situation I was in.
Joseph. I had fantasized about how Heidi had met him a few months ago, and how she had made love to him many times over the past few months, but to meet him face to face, with Heidi, was both thrilling and terrifying all at the same time.
The time it took for them to find their way to my place seemed like an eternity but was, in reality, only a few minutes time.
Heidi ran to the door and jumped into my arms when they arrived. It was amazing to feel, smell, and embrace her, finding her lips quickly with mine as we kissed like only familiar lovers can.
Joseph stood confidently, unfazed, as I glanced around Heidi's hair and saw him standing on the walk with their suitcases in tow.
We all entered the air conditioned apartment I had made into my home and sat down after brief introductions, trying to pretend everything was "normal" despite the growing sexual tensions all around the trio.
Joseph was taller and more intimidating phsyically than I had imagined, and his frame loomed over Heidi when they stood together. I imagined what they must look like when they were intimate, and my mind began to wander into fantasyland when Heidi said, "So, Andre, we need to discuss sleeping arrangements."
I had also thought about this a few times in the last few minutes and was hoping that Heidi was planning on staying with me. She affirmed it, but with a caveat that sent my mind into a cuckold spin. "I will stay with you if you are okay with that," her grin betrayed her sarcasm, "until after the ceremony."
"The ceremony?" I asked a little too quickly.
"Yes, that is why we are all here. Joseph and I have planned a little ceremony for you and me with our friends on Saturday. You'll be impressed with the plans I have made. Well, Joseph and my friends and I have made, that is," she corrected herself.
"Can I ask what this is all about, this 'Ceremony,'" I asked, looking back and forth between the two sitting on the couch before me. Heidi and I had discussed marriage a few times. Still, we agreed that while we wanted to commit to a life together, our unconventional relationship didn't fit the mould of a traditional wedding.
They looked at each other, and he confidently leaned over and planted a kiss on her lips, the first I had witnessed in person. Their ease and familiarity surprised me.
"Let's just say I am ready to formalize our dynamic," she began. "We've talked a lot about how you want this non-traditional relationship, and, well, when I brought it up with Joseph, he started having all kinds of really crazy ideas. At first, I resisted them, but the more I thought about these ideas, the more they lined up with fantasies I have heard you talk about on our long calls, write to me about and verbalize when we have been together. "
"So, all I will say further about the ceremony on Saturday is that I am quite sure you will enjoy it, and the deepening of the bonds between us will, I am confident, result from the event." She concluded.
I glanced over at them, now holding hands on the couch. My mind began to fantasize again, picturing what they would look like if they had removed their clothes and I wasn't in the room.
"Is this what you both want?" I asked them rhetorically.
Their answer was simple: silent nods. In spite of my then-lack of understanding of what they had planned, I began to both fear and anticipate the coming "event," whatever it was.
Joseph broke the silence as he took the lead and stated, "Well, I am going to go to my hotel room and get some rest and then maybe walk around the pier a bit. Maybe we can all meet for dinner later?" His question was aimed at Heidi. She smiled and agreed. He then looked at me for any hesitation. I nodded, and he made his way out of the apartment with his luggage, giving Heidi another deep kiss before he left.
Heidi and I found each other in another sensual embrace, with no third party watching. After some much-needed connection, she pulled away. "Andre, for this ceremony to be effective, we need to set some boundaries for you and me, and that is simply that I want to sleep with you here in your place because I've missed you like crazy, but we won't be having sex until the ceremony."
I wasn't thrilled with this idea because the "ceremony" was still a few days away. Still, the unknown parts of her mysterious "ceremony" held my attention, and I silently nodded in consent to her boundary.
With Joseph gone and not seeing Heidi for many weeks, we quickly found ourselves on the bed, tearing at each other's clothes like love-struck teenagers. As we made out, it seemed only natural to want to make love to her, but she was insistent and avoided anything that might lead to intercourse. I was to wait until the ceremony, so we waited despite our passion for each other.
The days flew by in rapid succession. As a group, we spent time on the beaches, taking a boat ride to see the sights and even snorkelling in the pristine waters. Evenings were spent having long, lazy dinners with the five of us. Meghan and Sarah, Heidi's best friends, were getting to know Joseph well, and I also found a strange openness with him that quickly erased any fears I had of his presence. His easy openness with Heidi, unashamed to show her affection and fully receptive to her romantic connection with me, was refreshing.
Despite my desire to see them together, Heidi would look at me, smile, and say, "Not until the Ceremony." She would, as things got more comfortable, tease me by making sure I was able to see her make out with him, and intentionally put his hands on her breasts or ass and look at me with a teasing grin.
The day of the ceremony quickly came, and we found ourselves prepared and ready at the agree upon time to drive to the "ceremony space."
I had been told nearly nothing about the ceremony, only that I was to dress in loose clothing and that we would drive together to an undisclosed location.
Heidi, as she prepared for the evening, put on the white loose fitting gown we had purchased at one of the local shops, and she looked stunning. Her nipples were clearly visible through the loose sheer white fabric, and I could hardly keep my hands off of her body.
After an hour's drive across the island, the sun dipped low on the horizon as we arrived, casting a warm Caribbean glow over the locations' grounds. A large gate opened before our vehicle, and we drove through together in Joseph's rented SUV.
The grounds were kept in perfect condition, the lawns and greenery were well cared for, and the buildings were pristine and meticulously painted in colours that matched the natural environment.
An older man approached us and greeted us, clearly knowing of our arrival and seeming familiar with Heidi and Joseph.
We walked towards an area behind the main building. A large circle with a stone altar in the center was set up there. Candles had been carefully placed along the pathway, indicating where we were to proceed.
The elderly man, whom Heidi and Joseph called "healer," was preparing smudges and arranging the altar candles and confidently invited us towards the altar.
We walked in a bit of a cluster toward the shamanic healer standing by the altar. I was at the back of the group, and Heidi's two friends were at the front. Heidi and Joseph walked together as he placed his hand on the small of her back, providing support for what I assumed would be a somewhat nervous moment for her, anticipating what I could only imagine was ahead.
