(It is recommended to read the first two chapters for background. This is a continuation of the story the following morning, as recounted from the perspective of Ryan's friend Eric)
It had been an exhausting night with minimal sleep, but I had drifted off, waking to the aroma of bacon and eggs from the kitchen, announcing it was time to get up on this warm Sunday morning in late-May.
After peeing and throwing on clothes, I converted the bed back into a couch, opened the door from my friend Ryan's office and followed my nose to where Sara was just setting out the breakfast fare. She smiled warmly at me, and our eyes lingered a moment before my gaze shifted to take in the rest of her. She looked great in her casually-tied robe, lively as always as she moved about the kitchen.
A sleepy-looking Ryan was already seated at the table. He nodded. I joined him there, as Sara set down a skillet on a trivet between us and filled glasses with orange juice. The loose robe provided a great view of her breasts as she did so, but nothing I had not seen in abundance the night before. She joined Ryan and I, and we all started eating.
There was not much conversation at first, which made me a little uneasy considering recent events. Ryan and I had not yet talked about it, but I knew Sara had briefed him on last night's liasions, so I decided to test the waters in a comical manner that would probably appeal to Ryan's sense of humor.
"You guys should really have someone evaluate your bed for safety," I said, between mouthfuls. "For some reason it starts making noise and jumping as if it's going to break its way through the floor boards. I swear I felt plaster dust falling on my face last night. You should tie it down on pillows or something."
Sara tittered, taking her husband's hand. "Ryan, I keep telling you about that. You have to control yourself."
"It's not me who has to exercise control," Ryan countered. "For some reason the same problem occurs with every bed in this house, whichever one you occupy. After you left our bedroom last night, I could swear I heard sounds coming from the foldout in the office below, where poor Eric was trying to get some shuteye."
"And that's another thing, bro -- you have to stop taking me so seriously," I told Ryan. "I know I said yesterday I'd help you keep this energetic, beautiful woman happy, but twice in one night is really taking advantage of my good nature. How many times must I rise to the occasion."
"Damn, I should have set the timer on the night vision surveillance camera," Ryan said. "Reruns are always interesting."
Sara and I chuckled at that. She had told me during our nocturnal tryst the previous night that Ryan had used his security cam to voyeur in on us during our initial break-through a couple hours earlier in the parlor. That seemed a little strange at first, but after thinking more I could understand. I guess I would want to know what was going on too if my woman was cozying up with a good friend. It was a way to observe while still giving us privacy. It did not bother me if he watched as long as it did not bother him watching.
"As long as we're lodging complaints, I have one for you two studs also," Sara said. "From now on I think we're going to have to confine everything to one location. It's just too exhausting for a lady venturing from bed to bed on different floors." Ryan and I chuckled at that one.
Our banter ceased for a moment as we looked at one another more seriously.
"So, we're all cool on what happened last night?" I asked, at last, looking at Ryan, who had given his blessing to a liaison between his wife and me. "No regrets?"
"No, man. We're all cool."
"Great. So Sara, you got anything going on tonight?" I couldn't help asking, to more laughter.
"That sounds nice, but I am serious about one thing, studs," Sara said. "My husband is too special to be turned into a voyeur or a cuckold. It was nice of him to give us some space yesterday," she said, looking at me, then Ryan, "but from now on I want our activities to be carried out either in real privacy or... together."
I looked at Ryan. We were talking about his woman. It was really his call.
Ryan nodded. "No more cams. As for togetherness, it could be exciting, but my stomach lining will have the last say on that.
Sara reached out and took each of us by a hand, then brought our hands together. "Ryan, Eric, shake on that," she said, smiling.
We did so.
