The rest of our hike to the waterfall meandered pleasantly on a clear path along a river with lovely views. It was pretty easygoing, and a light breeze felt refreshing. When the trail allowed it, Katie and I held hands, and that felt wonderful as layers to our relationship were being added all the time.
I constantly processed the reality and satisfaction of having a permanent girlfriend, with a job such as I did, and given the sexual freedom that was developing in our relationship.
"How does it feel, Andrew?"
"You knew what I was thinking about?"
"Yes, of course. You're thinking about me, us, and our relationship."
"Am I that transparent?"
"You aren't difficult to read, and I like that. Your nature is more like an open book than a contrived locked room mystery. Not predictable or boring but exciting and emotionally available."
"I guess I am, but then, I needed to be honest, or you wouldn't have trusted me, Katie."
"So, tell me how all things relating to us are developing for you."
"Hmm, that's a profound question, but I could give it a whirl. Give me a few minutes to consider a wise response."
"Take all the time you need, lover."
She giggled, we held hands, and my world was perfectly formed. As I processed my thoughts, one solid truth came to me with absolute clarity.
"I definitely want this relationship with you, Katie. I feel the bonds between us strengthening constantly, more so as we gain a greater understanding about what the other needs and wants."
"That's really good, Andrew. We're definitely heading on the same path."
Sami and Dio took turns leading our group, checking ahead for obstructions or problems. They were lithe and gymnastic, able to run fast, leap high, and wriggle under fallen trees like cats. I observed them closely, impressed with how powerful both women were.
"You really get to appreciate the disadvantages of having muscle mass while living in the jungle."
"It must be uncomfortable for you, Andrew, especially with the awful humidity."
"The week here has been a real education. More cardio training is in order once I'm back. It will help me get ready for my next visit here."
Katie smiled and looked pleased, squeezing my hand much more tightly. Too many emotions had wreaked havoc with my psyche because of what had happened so far since my arrival, what I knew was yet to come, and then, there was my impending departure nagging away, something I wasn't looking forward to.
"There is something on my mind, Andrew. Can we discuss it, please?"
"Of course. There's nothing we can't talk through."
"You mentioned a threesome for me with you and another guy earlier. Is that something we can definitely do?"
Her broad-minded and open discussion style shocked me again, but we were alone, so I figured honesty was always the best policy. I admired how Katie communicated everything so clearly; perhaps it was because of her training as a doctor.
"Yes, for sure, we can enjoy a threesome, and I'll organize a gang bang with some great guys I know once you're ready. It might feel weird for me, though, because I've never done anything like this with a girlfriend."
"Have you gang-banged other women as part of a fuck team, Andrew?"
I stopped and laughed almost until I fell sideways off the trail. With both hands on my knees, Katie joined me, patting my back before wrapping an arm around my waist, not entirely seeing the humor in how casually she'd asked me.
"What's so funny, baby?"
"Umm, yeah, sorry... I mean, when you say it like that, it sounds really fucked up and debauched."
"Tell me how it is, then?"
"Every gang-bang I ever attended was very civilized. The guys introduce themselves already naked and help the girl undress, playing with her, gently touching, kissing, and cuddling. The playbook has already been agreed, as has the running order, whether cum in mouth and inside pussy is allowed and how many shots each guy is permitted."
"It sounds quite civilized so far."
"It is. I wouldn't be involved in anything disrespectful."
"What if the girl changes her mind while the guys are already fucking her?"
"She calls out a safe word, and everyone backs off, letting her husband or close friend look after her."
"It's good that you have experience in doing this, Andrew. I feel I am in safe hands."
"It would be great to discuss boundaries before I leave tomorrow night, if that's okay, Katie."
She must have detected my nervousness. Watching my girlfriend being fucked by a group of men wasn't a natural state for me, but given the openness with which Katie wanted both of us to explore our sexuality and the obvious compromises she made to accommodate my job, kicking up a fuss would be unreasonable.
"Go ahead, Andrew. We can settle that right now."
"Can't you go first, please?"
"I'm not sure what to say, honey. I don't set boundaries for you with the girls or work, and I have no experience of being fucked by multiple guys."
"Do you want a free-for-all session?"
"Umm... I don't know what that means entirely. What options do we have, Andrew?"
"Would you like both of us to fuck you together?"
"Like a spit-roasting? Yes, I'd love that, but I also liked the idea you mentioned about both taking turns to fuck me for hours, maybe all through the night."
"I don't mind that either. When one rests, the other guy fucks you. It's better in a gang bang scenario where you have six guys taking turns."
"Fucking hell, Andrew. I'm going giddy just thinking about enjoying that much cock."
"All the girls I knew who had gang bangs said they loved it and intended to return for more."
We walked on a little further while Katie looked flushed and aroused. I was sure she enjoyed mulling over how many guys might fuck her in a single session. I'd seen women with body language like hers, snatching excited sidelong glances while being interviewed for their gang bang.
"So, where do you see boundaries, Andrew? Can I kiss your friend?"
"I would only get nervous if there were cuckolding play aimed at me or any emotional feelings between you and him."
"I definitely wouldn't be cuckolding you from a kink perspective. I want to be gang-banged for me, not for your voyeurism or humiliation. No offense intended."
"None taken. I've got no problem with the concept of cuckolding. It's just not for me."
"Then why raise it if we already agree entirely?"
"What if other guys involved in our tryst tried to make me feel like I was being cuckolded?"
"They'd be out of our bed and off the team immediately, Andrew. I've no desire for anything like that to come between us. I want us to try these sexual fantasies out for real at least once. If they work, maybe we can do it more frequently."
"Okay, what about love, emotions, and feelings?"
"Yeah, well... I think we've already covered that in the rules applying to you in the workplace or outside when we're having fun together. If I feel anything emotionally for your friend or any other guys that fuck me, I'll let you know immediately."
"I'm not so worried about you, Katie."
We walked silently, enjoying views of a broad bend in the river and the vast forest behind rising high mountains. Katie knew what I'd alluded to but wanted to think that through, as she did almost everything. We ducked under some low-hanging branches, and Sami darted back, stopping me dead in my tracks with a palm planted firmly on my chest.
She held a finger to my lips, bidding me be silent before reaching up above my head and lifting a snake down from the low-hanging branch I'd brushed against
Sami placed the snake carefully on the ground, after which it slipped away, and she grinned at me.
"Fuck!"
"Don't worry, Andrew, it's not poisonous. This one eats other snakes."
Katie waited until Sami skipped ahead a bit further before resuming our chat while I recovered from a heart-stopping moment.
"It's a good job you're a doctor."
"I'll always save you, Andrew. Going back to your point, though. We'd have to end our fuck session immediately if a guy catches feelings for me."
"I agree. You're an exceptionally beautiful woman, and this problem will likely crop up eventually."
"I'm seriously not interested in going down that path. I can only love one guy, and that's you."
Fuck, I hope so too.
"I think we agree."
"I'm very proud of you, Andrew."
"Why?"
"Because you could have been more possessive and jealous over sharing me. I really feel you want my experience to be empowering."
"Having an open relationship can be very enjoyable so long as we preserve one another's dignity and the love we share."
"There is one more stipulation that I have."
"Go ahead."
