I woke up alone in the bed at nine o'clock Saturday morning. As I came out of my sleepy haze, short scenes from the previous evening played in my head. I wasn't sure if these events had actually happened or had it all been a dream. As my head cleared so did my thinking and I began remembering everything that had happened. The house was completely quiet which is unusual for a Saturday morning. Jan usually gets up around seven o'clock on Saturdays and by the time I wake up she is either vacuuming floors, doing laundry or has the TV on. The house is never quiet on Saturday mornings.
I began to worry. I didn't know what would be waiting for me downstairs. Did Jan wake up regretting everything that had happened? Could this possibly have ruined her friendship with Sue? Would she blame me for everything? If she did blame me, could our marriage survive? Maybe the house was quiet because Jan wasn't home. Maybe she left me. The more I thought about it the more I worried because I knew that I was to blame.
With a knot in my stomach caused by nervous tension, I quietly got out of bed, put on my robe and crept to the top of the stairs. I stood silently for a minute to see if I could hear anything. I heard something very faintly. It wasn't the television or radio and not one of the appliances. It was the faint sound of papers rustling.
I took a deep breath and headed downstairs to face whatever was waiting for me. I would have to try blaming my behavior on the wine and grass. I wasn't sure that would work but Jan should know that if it wasn't for the wine and grass she certainly wouldn't have done all of those things.
I quietly descended the stairs and walked into the kitchen. I heard the sound of paper again in the family room. When I turned to look in that direction I saw Jan sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. I didn't know if this was a good or a bad omen.
As I moved farther into the kitchen Jan heard me and looked up. I couldn't tell if she was angry as she said, "So you finally decided to get up?"
Rather than responding to her I was trying to determine her mood from the look on her face and the sound of her voice. While I was pondering this I heard the door to the hall bathroom open and before I could turn around, Sue appeared in the kitchen wearing the same clothes she had on the night before. Sue walked by me and gave me a strange look as she passed. Sue went into the family room and sat on the sofa and picked up a coffee cup.
"There's a fresh pot of coffee in the maker and there are fresh bagels on the counter," Jan said.
The tone of Jan's voice told me nothing. I still wasn't sure what was going to happen. I asked where the bagels came from and Jan said, "Sue and I went out to the store this morning while you were sleeping." Still no indication of Jan's mood.
I poured myself a cup of coffee and went into the family room and sat down. I figured that the best thing to do would be to deal with everything head on. I needed to find out what the fall out from last night was going to be. I started, "I'm not sure if you are going to want to talk about this or not but I think we should talk about what happened last night and what we should do about it."
"Do about it?" Jan asked, "What can you do about it? Sue and I have been talking about it since 5:30 this morning and the only thing we could come up with is that there is nothing that needs to be done about last night. We all got high and sexually excited and ended up having a pretty wild sexual experience."
I asked, "Really? Any regrets about anything you did last night?"
Jan said, "I don't know."
Sue said, "I don't know what to think. I've never done anything like that before and would never have believed that I was capable of behaving that way. I have to admit that I enjoyed it last night. Now...I don't know what to think. How do you feel about it?"
"I guess I feel pretty much like both of you. I never planned for anything like that to happen, I enjoyed it while it was happening and now I don't know what to think. So then, where do we go from here? Just try to leave this in the past? Act like it never happened?"
Jan cleared her throat, "Like I said, Sue and I have done a lot of talking about this. Apparently we both got off on the things we did last night and we can't pretend it never happened. We think that we need to talk about what we all did last night to try to understand it better. So let's talk. Do you have questions you want to ask us."
"Well yes there are a few" I said, "Let's get to the things that I am really concerned about first. The two of you made love to each other last night. I instigated it but neither of you seemed to have any hang-ups about doing it. Is there something special between you two that I should know about?"
"What do you mean?" Jan asked
"What I mean is, were you two already lovers or did you discover something about yourselves last night that will effect our marriage or your love for me?"
Jan responded to this question. "If you are asking if we are lesbians, we are not. Prior to last night the idea of having sex with Sue, or any other woman, had never entered my mind. Sue assured me this morning that she feels the same. I have to tell you that last night when you told me to kiss Sue's breasts something came over me. I didn't have a moments concern about doing it because you wanted me to do it and I love Sue enough that I wanted to give her that pleasure. For some reason it just seemed to be the natural thing to do at that moment."
Then Sue said "And that is exactly how I felt about it. It wasn't about my wanting to have sex with Jan it was about being extremely horny and having you tell us what you wanted us to do. I wasn't thinking about making love to Jan, I was thinking about giving her pleasure while giving you, what you wanted. At first this morning we tried to blame everything on the wine and pot but we realized that as we talked about last night we were getting aroused. We had no excuses this morning. The wine and grass had worn off. The only answer was that Jan and I were sexual turned on by the same thing. It turns out the turn on was having you tell us what to do. I can't explain why, but that's it. We came to this conclusion this morning as we were talking about that porno movie we watched last night and how most of the movie was a waste of time until the part where the husband forced his wife to give him oral sex then he made her have sex with the other woman. It's funny but we both got very turned on by that part of the movie. So when you told Jan to show me her breasts I felt my panties getting wet."
Before I could respond to what Sue was telling me, Jan said, "Do you want to know what Sue and I have decided?" I nodded yes. "We have decided that we both enjoyed last night's experience but we don't know what to do now. We don't know if we should do this again sometime or if we should make sure that it never happens again. What ever we do we will have to be careful so that Dave never finds out. So George, what do you think? "
I said, "What do I think? What do you think I think? If you leave it up to me, my friend here will decide for us. " As I said this I stood up and opened my robe to show them my erection.
Sue laughed and said, "We thought you would say something like that. Well, I have to go home and take a shower and do my cleaning. Dave will be calling soon and I want to be there for his call Besides, I think we need to spend time apart to think this over and talk again later about what we should do."
I said, "I guess that's a good idea. Will you be coming back tonight?"
"Do you think that's a good idea?" Sue replied.
