Dear Readers,
Please be assured that I was not happy that it took me so long to finish this story, but a bad health condition kept me away from writing. I hope that I can continue writing for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your patience.

Linda was devastated through her conversation with Jane as she realized with a sudden, unwelcome certainty, that her preferred 'fourth option' of getting rid of Jane was never going to happen. At the same time she perceived that Gary's preference would be for Jane to move in with them. The four spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms in their house made that possible. They didn't need a bigger house. The master bedroom and the kids' bedrooms were upstairs and the spare bedroom, with an adjoining bathroom, was on this first floor.
Before Linda could answer Jane, she heard the front door of the house opening. It was too early to be the kids.
A few seconds later Gary appeared in the living room with a resolute expression on his face. He greeted Linda with a kiss on her cheek and Jane with a kiss on her lips. Then he went to the cabinet with the wine glasses and fetched one for himself. He brought over a chair from the dining table and sat down with them at the cocktail table.
Jane was as surprised by Gary's sudden appearance as Linda, because he hadn't told her he would be joining their conversation. He poured himself a glass of white wine and took a sip before he spoke with a voice that sounded like a storm was brewing.
"I'm afraid there are no longer three options available regarding our future living arrangements. I wasn't able to get much work done yesterday or today because my mind was occupied. But I've made my decision. I've concluded that it won't do us any good to beat around the bush any longer.
"Jane, you're moving in next Monday as we talked about it.
"Linda, you'll have to just grin and bear it! You opened Pandora's box, my dear, now you're going to have to live with the consequences. You can always take the divorce option. But let me warn you, in case you try to make Jane's life a living hell in this household, I'll revise my decision not to divorce you. Linda, I believe Jane has told you that you no longer have a say in this matter.
"It may seem as if I'm being brutal to you but it's all your own fault. You broke your most solemn vow. Hell, you made it look easy. Even now, while I know you deeply regret what has come of it, I feel that you still don't see what you did as really serious. Where I considered it as devastating, you liken it to spending too much money, wrecking the car, or something along those lines. Didn't you feel any guilt as you were betraying me?"
She didn't give him a direct answer as usual.
"Talk about a lack of feelings! You're the one who has turned to stone! Give me one more chance, please? I can't accept Jane moving in with us. How can you sit there with no emotion while I fall to pieces?"
"You still don't get it, do you? There's plenty of emotion inside me. It's emotion, not intelligence that makes us human. Animals think at some level, but who besides humans feel love, hate, desire, and devotion? I don't know of any other species. I've just gotten better at controlling my emotions of hurt and betrayal. Jane was my lifesaver. I owe a lot to her. I hope this is not a foreign concept to you."
Jane added, "Linda, I promise you I'll restrain myself in this household. I don't want to dominate you. We both love Gary and I think that is a good common ground we can build on. I also promise to share all the household chores. Gary, I assume you'll talk with the kids this weekend."
"Yes, I will. So Linda, you see the die is cast. You have no legal means to prevent Jane from moving in with us. Despite the fact that we always thought of ourselves as the owners of this house, our names are NOT on the deed. Your daddy managed to frighten you into refusing to buy the house with such a large mortgage fifteen years ago.
"But without your income as well as my own, you knew I couldn't buy it. We were lucky — since we couldn't afford it, my parents bought it for us. In case you've forgotten they still own it legally. They told me recently that they paid off the mortgage in full two years ago. In case we divorce you can't even claim that I would eventually inherit it because my two sisters could get it, or at least a share of it."
Linda didn't need to know that his parents had already adjusted their will to compensate his sisters for the fact that they had helped him out with the house. She also didn't know that Gary had made monthly payments to his parents from the beginning; as much as he could afford.
Linda was desperate to say something that would turn the situation to her favor but the only thing that blurted out of her mouth was an accusation.
"I can't believe that you would force me to accept you fucking this ... Jane, in our house with the kids still living here......"
"Linda, you're lucky that you got yourself under control before you said something stupid. May I suggest that you watch the DVD where you are screwing Brendan for three full hours! Maybe then you'll understand what I had to endure for three long months. Again, Jane was my lifesaver.
"But let's set that aside because any more debate in this matter is useless. Let's talk about practical things. With the kids upstairs in their bedrooms they won't hear anything when Jane and I make love. You know the house is well soundproofed. The master bedroom is much closer to their bedrooms but fortunately the master bathroom is in between, and that absorbed the sex noise we made before you started fucking Brendan.
"Of course, I'll let the kids know Jane is my lover. I'll tell them that is because their mother chose to let another man share her sex life. They are sufficiently informed about what goes on between men and women. Sandra has already been asked out on a date, but she is a good girl and agreed to wait until she is fourteen before dating. I bet our kids will handle the situation very well.
"The sleeping arrangement I propose as follows: Beginning next Monday, I'll sleep with Jane for two days. Linda, I hope you get a clean bill of health from our family doctor on Wednesday so that I can sleep with you for the next two days and have safe sex with you, if you want it. Linda, you won't believe it, but Jane has adamantly convinced me that it is not my duty to always initiate sex any more.
"She considered it a flaw in our relationship that I almost always had to be the one who started it. Brendan was a lucky guy that you were always the one who took the lead and jumped his bones. Sorry Linda, I'm no longer responsible for always initiating sex. You've got to convince me that you're really hot for me. I don't think I have to teach you how to do it.
"By the way, Jane promised me she will truthfully answer any question you may want to ask her."
Over the next hour before the kids came home from soccer practice, Linda finally yielded to her fate. She didn't like it but there was no other choice except to divorce Gary. But divorce was even less attractive! She knew that Gary would marry Jane in a heartbeat. The kids loved their father to death and she feared they would choose to remain with him over her. The family courts in their state almost always let the kids have their say. Sandra, especially, adored her dad.
Recently, Linda had noticed that her daughter had let her dad see her in her sexy underwear she had insisted on buying lately. She wondered if Sandra had done it intentionally. Sandra was already fairly well developed and was becomming the target of men's attention. Gary, though, didn't seem to notice that his daughter was no longer a child, but was in fact growing into an attractive woman.

On her way home Jane had to use the GPS system again because she hadn't paid much attention to the streets she was driving through on the way to the Young's home. It was only when she turned into the mile long, winding cul-de-sac that she knew where she was. When she and Gary had inspected the two houses that the real estate agent had suggested to them, it was Gary who drove and as they were talking, she didn't pay attention to the streets. It was a thirty minute drive from her apartment to the homes on the cul-de-sac.
Jane was in a very good mood because Gary had promised her — giving her a passionate kiss to seal the deal — that they would spend the entire evening making love. The prospect of having Gary to herself for the night brought back memories of the day they shared anal sex for the first time. Jane chuckled as she reflected on Linda's aversion to exciting butt fucking. Would she ever change her mind and show Gary that she truly wanted to become a better wife and lover?
Jane was sure Linda would ask her husband how often they did it. Gary would answer truthfully that they always concluded their lovemaking session with anal sex. Jane couldn't imagine going to sleep after sex any longer without a warm feeling of cum in her rectum and a twitching anus in the afterglow of her anal orgasm.
Jane had quickly concluded that her fear that she might grow to prefer anal to vaginal orgasms was unfounded. Her vaginal orgasms remained breathtaking; they were just different from those she achieved with anal sex.
It was peculiar to describe. A penis and a vagina in combination with the woman's clitoris are naturally positioned to let a woman orgasm and to let a man ejaculate.
