Does 1 + 2 = 4?

I use a spellcheck but it doesn't catch them all, the gramer is all mine, sorry.

There's not a lot of sex in this and it's not detailed,

I'm Dan, a 45 year old divorced man living in a flat on my own.

I have friends who I see and go out with, but not a lot, my divorce cost me a lot in self respect that I'm having trouble getting back.

It's sad to admit that "mother knew best", Betty wasn't right for me Mum told me even before we got engaged, and I didn't heed her advice to make sure that the house was safe from being taken from under me if things went wrong, of course nothing was going to go wrong was it, we were in love, we would never let each other down, do the dirty on the other would we,... it turned out I wouldn't and Betty did.

Long story short, I was royalty shafted in the divorce.

So that's my life in a nutshell.

I'm getting over it as best as I can, staying away from my old life as much as I can, I still don't trust lots of people who I thought were friends of mine as well as Betty.

It was good old mum who found the flat I'm living in, I wasn't in the right shape to make a good decision about what I wanted to eat, let alone a flat to live in, so mum sorted one out for me.

When I moved in, I had been living back at home for 6 months, it was clear to see that the whole flat had been completely redone, new carpet, curtains, bed, well everything looked and even smelled new, that even went as far as the front entrance way and up the stairs to the top floor where I was to live.

How mum found this, and how lucky I was I didn't find out for the next 5 years.

I moved in and mum was the only person who knew it was a new start for me, I'd kept my job, I run a small business, I do domestic electrical work, nothing big, a shop unit is as big as I want to go, and only then if it's privately owned, I'd been caught out by big corporate jobs and promised myself and mum not to be caught again like that.

I did alright, I'll only be a rich man if I win the lottery I say with total confidence, I know my limits.

Being a small business I keep as local as I can, why travel miles to do the same work that I can get done locally is my motto.

Once I was settled in I sat one night thinking, what did I want to do now.

The flat was only missing one thing that I could think of which was missing, a video door lock, easy for me to install, I made a note to ask Mum who the landlord was so I could ask their permission to install one, I could put a good one in for little cost, there were only the three flats and it would be easy to do for me on a few days when I didn't have any work, it happened sometimes.

The other thing I wanted to do was some sort of work for the benefit of the community, I looked online and found that there was a local volunteer group for the canal, I would go there the next weekend, see if it was anything I wanted to help with.

Mum said to leave it with her about the video door lock and I wasn't thinking about it when a week later Mum called telling me that it was fine providing that I didn't take it out if I moved.

When I purchased the lock set and cable I brought a CCTV camera that would plug into the recorder as well, it wasn't that I felt unsafe, but it was just a whim that if I was burgled it might be a good thing to have a couple of pictures of the perpetrators.

It proved easier than I expected, it only took me a week of odd hours to complete. Putting the recorder somewhere safe was proving a problem, then I thought about the loft space above me, I was the only one that had access so that was that, the CCTV camera I had was one of these very small things you could hide, it wouldn't be any good for a car number plate down the road but a face 15 foot away it was perfect, I hid the camera in the light fixture, it faced the front door and only way in showing a lot of the hallway in detail, I hoped that it would never be of use and after the novelty of a new toy it just sat there doing its thing and I stopped looking at the app to see myself coming and going.

I went volunteering at the canal, it was a fun day for me, and I started to make friends with the others, after the summer into autumn it was the AGM and dinner dance for them, I didn't want to go but got badgered into it.

Turned out to be a good evening, turned out that Lilian was a dam sight better looking dressed to go out than in her overalls that she wore at the work parties, a lot better looking.

We danced a lot and I walked her to her car that night.

At the second work party she was making the tea for everyone, we took it in turns.

"Dan, why haven't you called me?" I wasn't sure what to say. Because I was scared of what happened before because I didn't want to make a fool of myself? I went for "I thought she would be in a relationship and I didn't want to embarrass her or myself by asking such a question."

"Well you can forget that, the only relationship I have at the moment is the cat that insists that I feed it. So anything you want to ask me?" The smile on her face said it all.

That night we went for a drink, I received a kiss on the cheek on walking her to her door.

Midweek we went for a drink again, it being a lot quieter we could talk more, the weekend we were both at the canal cutting scrub and tidying up the towpath, we went to the cinema in the evening.

The next week was much the same, but it had gotten comfortable for me, we chatted and held hands as we walked and the kisses at the door had become a lot more intimate. Over the next month it continued, we saw each other at least 3 times a week, it was at the start of the next month that the weather had changed to be wet and windy, getting from the car to her doorway the umbrella turned inside out and we got drenched in rain.

"You need to come in, I'm not standing out here in this kissing you," Lilian said.

Inside she had her coat off and looking over her shoulder told me to get out of my wet coat, she had to go dry her hair.

I took my coat off and shoes, they were wet through as well.

"I'll make us a coffee Dan, go sit inside." She said walking past me into the kitchen, wearing a robe.

I went and sat on the sofa, it wasn't long before she came and sat beside me putting the coffee cups on a table.

"Now this is better, no cold drafts." She said leaning in and kissing me, we were quickly getting into it when she pulled back and took my hand.

"Come on Dan, we both know where this is leading, let's just go and be more comfortable." She pulled me up and I followed into her bedroom, it was a lot of kissing and touching until we were both undressed, Lilian didn't hold back, she led the way and I followed.

I warned her I hadn't come prepared for this, so no penetration, she said that it was okay that she trusted me and she was safe as well.

I had to warn her again not long after getting inside her, it had been a long time for me and I wasn't going to last.

She surprised me by bucking up and making it happen sooner than I could have lasted if she hadn't.

"We've got plenty of time for you to recover." Was all she said as I was pumping my load inside her.

We had plenty of time, I stayed all night and the next day, it wasn't all sex, we went out for a drink and walk, but we ended up in bed both times on our return.

The next month we met up three times a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, one of us going home on Sunday night, we went places, we did different things, but we ended up in bed each night, we didn't have sex every night, but a lot of them we did.

We found out what we liked and disliked, and not only in bed, we got on better than anyone I'd been with from being a teenager, including my ex.

I'd met a lot of Lilian's friends and got on with most, not everyone, and we didn't fall out over the ones I didn't like, I only had a couple of friends and she got on with them all.

Cutting a boring story short she moved in with me, mum for once told me she couldn't make her mind up about Lilian, now that was new, she had always had an instant reaction, positive or negative, but she always had one.

Lilian had been living with me for 6 months and things were going well as far as I could see, we had more sex every week than I'd ever had,

over a sandwich in a department store cafeteria she told me that her best friend Amy from college was going to be moving back into the area and would I mind if she came to stay in the spare room until she could sort out somewhere of her own.

It was a no brainier as far as I was concerned, of course she could, I'd seen pictures of her, heard her voice on the phone, but as she had spent the last 4 years in America I'd not met her.

We made sure the room was as clean and ready for her as it could be.

Amy came in a bit under the weather, jet lag and a few free drinks on the flight was my guess, there was lots of hugging and kisses and more hugging before she begged off to go get some sleep.

Lilian was hyped up, so excited and that night she was a devil in bed, as Amy slept the sleep of the dead.

The next day I worked and missed the day of them catching up on their lives, thank goodness, but I didn't voice that, bit too much for me.

If you have shared a house with others you know that there are conversations that happen that don't involve one of the others, it was a bit like that for the first month, I was being left out of certain things, they would plan a trip out and expect me to just go along with it, which mainly I did.

But one night Amy came in and announced that she had booked a spa day for the pair of them in two days' time.

I saw red, Lilian and I had booked a theatre trip to London, hotel, show and meals out, all booked, it was all booked months ago and paid for, no getting our money back at this late stage.

"That's very kind of you Amy, but Lilian won't be going," before I could say anymore Lilian had jumped in.

"You can't say that I want to go, of course I'll go with you Amy," she looked at me with daggers in her eyes. "We'll talk later Dan."

"No not later Lilian, now, have you forgotten London? Our trip? Look Amy coming back is great, I can see what she means to you, but I've sat back and let it go, but you know my background, I'm at my limit, it's as if it's 2 + 1 in here now, you two and my one, we either sort this out and it goes back to us talking as a couple, or you had better find Amy's new place," I hadn't seen any looking around to find somewhere to live from either of them so far.

"I thought we had something, I'm thinking that maybe it would be better if you both moved out."

Things went very quiet, I could feel my heart beating like a drum, and then all hell broke out.

"Oh god no, no, that's not what I want, I'm sorry Dan I just got carried away with Amy coming back, sorry Amy, we had a date for the weekend, it's been booked a long time and I forgot it." She was all over me like a rash, kissing me and hugging the daylights out of me.

"Amy, you're going to have to look after yourself for a while, I've got something to do that can't wait." She got off me and pulled me to our bedroom.

"Don't do anything that I wouldn't," Amy called as Lilian closed the door with her foot. I was fairly certain that we didn't do anything that Amy wouldn't, but I didn't know her that well.

London was a blast and we made up and had a heart to heart talk walking around, it seemed to make it easier being in somewhere different and nobody knew us or took any notice of us there.

I wasn't sure how much they talked about it, but it was back to how it was, but with a friend in tow, Amy's job took a lot of her time and things just became smooth between the three of us.

One night in bed Lilian was cuddling me, we hadn't had sex and I didn't think it was on the cards.

"You know that Amy is getting lonely, she can't seem to meet anyone who has the right qualities for her, do you have any ideas, no good looking men hidden away that I don't know about we could set her up with?" Said in jest, but she was just saying what she saw from her friend.

Amy had been out on dates, but every one of them seemed to end up early, or she'd come home with smoke coming out of her ears, he wanted this or that and it wasn't going to happen with him again.

We had gone out as a threesome lots of times, even to dances where I was expected to be both of their partners. It worked up to a point, I never went beyond that of a friend with Amy, and Lilian never, in my sight, went beyond that point when she danced with other men.

One night we went to a formal dinner dance, all the women were dressed to impress, with lots of legs and bosoms on show, Lilian had dressed in front of me so I knew just what she was wearing, I was looking forward to getting home and undressing her.

Amy looked stunning, better than I'd ever seen her, I danced with both of them and I noticed that for once they both declined any offers from other men.

Lilian did her best to get me hard by the way she danced with me and I loved every minute of it, I tried to keep it away from Amy but she was a far better dancer than I was so managed to keep rubbing herself on me as well.

We had taken a taxi so we could have a drink, on the way home I was in the middle of them, Lilian was kissing me and I felt her hand on my leg, I whispered to wait until we got home and carried on with the kissing.

When we got in Amy excused herself and went off to her bedroom and Lilian kissed me hard.

"Go and get undressed, I just need to freshen up a little, I'll let you unwrap your present, don't worry."

I wasn't worried, impatient, but not worried, I was naked very soon and waiting.

The door opened and the pair of them walked in.

"Please Dan, just tonight, love her like you do me, she needs it.

We both know you'd be lying if you said you didn't want to go to bed with her."

What do you say to something like that, stood there with a big stiff hard on throbbing to your heartbeat and glistening with precum.

Amy came and kissed me, not the usual peck on the lips but a full blown kiss that had me throbbing even more.

Followed by Lilian doing the same.

They stood back and their dresses fell to the floor revealing them in very nice bras and thongs, but the suspender belts holding their black stockings up set their body's off so well. They each did a dance taking the bra off and then made a show of the thong removal.

"On or off." I knew they were asking about the stockings.

"On." My cock was bouncing around like a mad thing.

"Looks like Lilian was right, you do fancy me, and I fancy you, looking at you it seems you need to get inside me before we make a mess on the floor."

That's what we did, she got on the bed on her back and I got between her legs and as I leaned forward Amy guided me to her sticky slot, I slid in, one slow push, right to the bottom and she locked her feet behind my thighs, we kissed as I started that age old movement, in and out, in and out, I was going to show her how long I could control myself and bring her off, but that didn't happen after she started to hump back up at me as I thrust down into her, her breathing became very fast and she said something that might as well been in Brazilian.

Lilian was kissing me and urging me to give Amy what she wanted, and needed.

It doesn't happen very often but we came together, huffing and puffing and groaning.

I rolled us onto our sides, still buried inside her and still hard.

I took a good look at her body for the first time, a real look, her boobs were bigger than Lillian's but had smaller nipples, hard little pips, but so suckable, her hair was all over the place on the pillowcase, my hand went from nipple to nipple and then down her stomach, it wasn't a gym bunny's tight muscled thing, it was a natural one, it had a softness that felt so good running my hand over, Amy didn't stop me and was smiling at me.

"I can feel you're still hard, do you want to go again?"

"No, he's mine this time, let him go," Lilian said a little briskly.

And again I found myself in Lilian and doing it all again as Amy was kissing the pair of us and touching and pinching our nipples.

Lilian came first this time as I'd not long climaxed in Amy, I needed a rest after that, but they just got together and started to make out, it was like watching my own porn show.

I'm not some sort of Superman, I'd just done more in a short time than I'd ever done before so I watched, wishing that I was Superman and could have pleasured them both again.

I don't know if they took pity on me or were satisfied for the night, but they kissed each other and me and Amy went back to her room leaving Lilian and me alone.

"What just happened?" I was lying on my back as Lilian curled into my side.

"Amy's been on her own for too long, and I thought you might like her as much as I do if you knew her as well as I do, was it that bad?"

I was trying to think of the right thing to say, I wasn't sure what I wanted, let alone her.

"No, but it wasn't what I expected, or wanted,"

"But you would do it again given the chance?" She asked me stroking my stomach and getting lower with each swipe."

"I don't know, I thought we were... together, just the two of us."

"We are, we are, but I like Amy, she's been my best girlfriend forever it seems, and you like her and she likes you and... how about we give it a try, the three of us," I had to look at her to see if she was winding me up or it was some kind of joke, but her face told me she was serious.

I did not say anything, I was thinking for a long time, Lilian let me think thankfully.

"Are you sure that you're happy sharing me with Amy, and how is it going to work, there's three of us and I'm not sure I'm happy sharing you," I think I said it all.

"We'll see how it works for us, we can just do what feels right and if it doesn't work do something different."

So started a new chapter in my life, I was living with two women and having sex with both, together and on their own, and they had their time together on their own sometimes, it didn't take long to get into a pattern that worked for us, it was pretty much sex on tap, it wasn't all kinky leather and rope or pain, it was just three people having the type of sex most other people have, but in our house there were options that other people didn't have.

None of us were like you read in erotica, you know the type, 12 inch cock, I don't think I wish for that, maybe another inch would be good, but I and they seemed to be happy with what I had, neither of them had the tightest pussy in the world, could get in positions that were unnatural, and they didn't have enormous boobs, they were B and C cup in size, I was not complaining.

I always slept in my bed and it was usually Lilian that slept with me, but sometimes it was Amy or both of them that shared my bed.

How they choose who and when I didn't feel the need to ask, as I said sometimes I slept on my own.

I did check with Lilian that she was happy with the way things were for the first few months, but she, like me thought it was working so I stopped asking.

It must have been 8, or 9 months after Amy moved in when Lilian asked if I minded if one of Amy's old boyfriends stayed for two nights the following week, he was in town doing some work she thought.

I wasn't happy about it and told the pair of them over dinner the next night, but it didn't stop "Jim," from being brought to dinner one night, I knew something was going on as soon as I walked in the door, the smell of cooking along with the way Amy was dressed said it all. Jim was coming if I wanted him to or not.

"Look Amy you have to understand you have a choice, it's just dinner and nothing more, if you want him to stay the night and I don't care if you sleep in my bed and he sleeps alone because we both know that won't be how we wake up don't we, if he stays you both go tonight, before it happens in my house.
