New Old Friends - Day 03

Tuesday

I awoke hazily. I was nude, sporting my usual morning wood, and spooning up against my wife. I hugged her gently so as not to awake her. As my arms engulfed her, but instead of where her pillowy breasts should be, there were two small, firm mounds topped with soft, long, thick noodles. I startled and the fog in my brain cleared suddenly. I was not with Sara; I was with Jaime. A wave of guilt hit me, but quickly passed as I realized Sara was most likely still with RJ. Plus, Jaime's body felt so good it was hard to think of anything else.

I laid there for a while just enjoying the feel of her body against mine, smelling her hair, thinking how could I have ever been so lucky to have spent the night making love to her and doing it with my wife's approval and encouragement? When that thought hit me, I decided that as much as I wanted to stay exactly where I was, I wanted to see Sara. I already missed her, and I wanted to make sure she still felt comfortable about everything that happened last night. I knew I was good with it, but we had been running on an alcohol and sexual wave and I just hoped that no one regretted last night's decisions and actions in the light of a new day. I gently peeled myself from Jaime and got up to leave trying not to disturb her. The night table lamp had already been turned off, probably by Jaime as she came to bed last night.

Now it was still very early in the morning and the sky was just beginning to illuminate as we still had about an hour before sunrise. The dim light of the early morning left her looking like an angel as I stood over her. I visually took in her nude body for I had no idea if I would ever see it again. As I took mental pictures trying to burn them into my memory, I softly pulled a sheet over her, then tip toed out of her bedroom and down the stairs.

As I went through the laundry room passageway, I felt a little self-conscious about being naked but had no alternative but to grin and bare it, literally. I entered our unit and looked towards the couch where the real action began last night. There was my Sara in all her unclothed glory cuddled up to RJ in his birthday suit. I confirmed right then and there as I saw them that I had no regrets about last night. They looked beautiful together, so peaceful and satisfied.

I silently crept up the stairs, quietly brushed my teeth, and got dressed. Then I returned to the main floor and slipped out the sliding door onto the deck. There, strewn about, were our towels and underwear and below on the patio were our clothes from last night. I gathered everything and made one pile for them and one for us before I sat down in a deck chair and started to try and comprehend everything that has happened in the last couple of days. I came to the realization that it would not be an easy task. It didn't seem real. This was not in any manner, shape, or form anything like Sara and me. Before now, I couldn't have even fantasized about what we just did. But here we were, we just lived it out and it was better than anything I could have envisioned even in my wildest imagination. If this was just a dream, I didn't ever want to wake up.

I was so lost in my thoughts and reliving the whole thing that I never heard Sara come out the door until she quietly said, "A penny for your thoughts."

Looking up, I gazed at my gorgeous wife covered in a wonderful glow, "You are beautiful." She blushed. I continued, "I was just going through the last couple of days and trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened. Wondering how we got here. This is so unlike us and anything we ever would even think about doing, much less actually do, but we did it. I am hoping nobody has any regrets. If anyone does regret it, how will we deal with that? But if no regrets, then where do we go from here?"

She sat down on my lap facing me, "No wonder you were so lost in your thoughts. That is a lot for one person to handle. Look, we all got into and are now in this together, so we will figure it out together. You are not responsible for dealing with it all by yourself. As for me I have zero regrets if you don't."

"No regrets here."

"Good. Why didn't you come get me last night?"

"Sorry, I hate to say it, but I fell asleep right after I lost it. Jaime was in the bathroom cleaning up. I didn't even say goodnight to her. But you could have come to get me."

"Who said I didn't."

"You did? You should have woken me up."

"Oh, you definitely weren't asleep when I came up to their bedroom to get you." I must have had a confused look on my face, so she continued, "RJ did the same thing as you. After I cleaned myself up, I came back in to find RJ asleep. I decided to go find you as it seemed quiet. But as I went up their stairs Jaime started yelling for you to fuck her. I stopped about halfway up and was going to turn around, but hearing you two go at it, I decided to see if I could see you fucking her."

"So, you were in the room watching us?"

"No. When I got near the doorway and looked in, I saw a full-length mirror in the corner of the room."

"I never saw that."

"I imagine you were a little preoccupied to notice much of anything besides Jaime. But it was lined up to give me a great view of you two and luckily you two had left the light on."

"You could have come in and told me to stop."

"I wouldn't have dared stop you. The two of you looked so great together. At that moment, I felt so much love for both of you. I wanted you to give her an incredible experience and have one for yourself, so I there was no way I was going to stop you... but I did briefly think about joining in."

"Are you saying we could have had a threesome!"

That earned me a slap on my arm. "Not like you fantasize about dummy. I just thought about helping Jaime out with you, not do anything with her. I'm not interested in that."

"Are you sure? I saw the way you two kissed."

"That was not sexual, that was loving, you goof."

"Well, if you say so. Still, you could have come in and kissed her, I would have loved that."

"No, I dismissed the thought of joining you two almost immediately. I couldn't do that to her or you. What I saw between you two was too beautiful to interrupt. She deserved your full attention. But it was damn sexy seeing you two together and the way you looked at each other as you laid on top of her. She was spread wide open for you, and you were really giving her everything you could. Then she wrapped her legs around you and I knew you both were getting close. There was no way I was going to get in between you two at that point. I turned around and went back to our unit to wait for you. But you never showed up and I fell asleep anyway."

"Sorry I left you hanging."

"It was just fine. It was nice to cuddle and sleep with RJ," she said before we began kissing. When we came up for air, she continued, "I am glad we two are alone together now though because we have a lot to talk about."

"Yes, we do. Hey, the sun will be coming up soon. Let's go down to the beach and watch the sunrise. You always love to do that and then afterwards we can talk."

And that is just what we did. After the sun was up, we decided to walk the beach as we talked. We told each other everything that happened in such graphic detail that we had to be careful no one was nearby lest they overhear us. I even came clean about watching Jaime's butt as we went up the stairs which elicited a hearty laugh from Sara. She said that given everything else we had done, that was not really much of a confession, but I told her that I broke a promise I made all those years ago. She felt she could forgive me for my transgression, especially considering another man besides me had filled her full of his seed.

Once we had gone through all the details of our nights, we were both very horny with no way to relieve it. Throughout the walk we did stop, embrace, and kiss frequently but kept it PG rated since we were out in public. We also held and rubbed hands as we walked at a leisurely pace. By the time we were done filling each other in and discussed not only what had occurred but how we felt about it, we realized we had walked over 2 hours and were a long way from the house. We turned around and started our return trip with a quicker pace in our steps and no stops for kissing. The journey home was a discussion of where and how we wanted this to go from here, taking into consideration various scenarios depending on if RJ and Jaime were onboard for continuing this, if they looked at this as a once in a lifetime occurrence, or if they were having second thoughts or regrets. We felt the last scenario was unlikely as they both seemed very receptive to everything, so we didn't spend much time on it, but acknowledged that it was always a possibility in the light of a new day given how far we went last night.

But when we got close to the house, our hearts which had been on a happy high immediately sank. The patio was only completely visible when we got through the sand dunes. We hadn't seen anyone on the deck, but now saw Jaime sitting alone on a patio chair. Her head was in in hands as she rubbed them through her hair. She was visibly upset. RJ was nowhere to be seen. Our quick pace came turned into a slow cautious approach. We realized we had not adequately prepared for the last possibility.

Jaime looked up and frantically said, "Where have you been? I have been so worried about you two."

Sara responded delicately, "We've just been walking. We had a lot to talk about."

RJ then appeared on the deck with a look that mirrored Jaime's. He spoke up as he came down the stairs, "We have ruined everything."

"What do mean? We were the ones that put your marriage in jeopardy. We will do anything to help you fix it," I interjected.

"I am confused. We damaged your relationship and marriage. We had no idea we would do that. You have to believe us," Jaime stated with bewilderment in her voice.

"Why would you think you hurt our marriage?" Sara asked equally confused.

Jaime rambled, "We woke up and you were nowhere to be found and the towels, clothes, and underwear were piled neatly in separate piles, and you were gone all morning and now we can see it in your faces. You look distraught. We obviously came between you two and you must have been trying to figure out if your relationship can be saved."

"Whoa!" I spoke up. "Our relationship is great." I put my arm around Sara's waist, and she did the same to me. "You guys strengthened it if that was possible, not ruined it. We were gone because we had a lot to talk about."

"But you look upset. You weren't fighting?"

"Absolutely not, no fighting at all, just the opposite. We look upset because we can see in your faces that things are not good with you two. Jaime you were sitting here with your head in your heads looking devastated and like you were about to cry, and RJ looks so worried and stressed."

RJ went and stood next to Jaime and put his arm on her shoulder, "We are like this because you were gone so long that we knew there must be trouble and we were the cause of it."

It was becoming clear of the misunderstandings and needless worry. Sara immediately went and knelt in front of Jaime and encased her with a hug and tears started to flow from both of them. RJ decided to give me a big hug too.

I finally spoke up and the girls continued to cry and hug, "Sorry we left you for so long and worried you. We just lost track of time. But we are absolutely great with everything that has happened. No regrets from either of us. We care deeply for both of you. You are the friends we have always wanted but never found, and what happened last night was just icing on the cake. Nothing we ever planned or expected, but really, really enjoyed and cherish. It did not pull us apart in any way but, if possible, it brought us together even more. When we were talking, we came to the conclusion that we had fallen into a rut... no, not a rut... a routine... of work, the kids, the house, etc. which is natural, but this definitely was a break we needed from the routine to remind us to get back to putting our relationship as a priority. So, we are so grateful for you. And if you want this to just be a one-time wild hair, we will understand." Then I looked directly at Jaime, "We would be disappointed, but we would understand. What happened at the beach can stay at the beach."

They both quickly responded firmly and loudly with a no. I went and hugged and kissed Jaime and Sara got up and did the same with RJ. I whispered that I was sorry and would never hurt her and Jaime responded in kind. Sara and I returned to each other.

Then RJ spoke up for him and Jaime, "We are sorry we scared too. Just the look on your faces fed into our irrational fear that we let build when we woke up to find you both gone and you didn't return all morning. We had worked ourselves up by thinking the worst. And to be honest, besides just worrying about your relationship with each other, we feared we had blown our relationship you two. We have no regrets about anything that has happened. We also feel as close to each other as we ever had. Whatever we have between the four us has been a good thing for Jaime and me, and we absolutely would like for it to continue and grow and develop, with or without the sex." After a dramatic pause, he looked at Sara and winked, "But hopefully with the sex."

That made everyone laugh and eased everyone's stress considerably. We all sat down and tried to relax.

"But you two were gone for so long, what did you guys discuss and decide?" asked Jaime.

I took the lead, "We really want all of this to continue, both the friendship AND the sex, not just this week, but beyond. But if we are going to continue this, we came up with 3 rules I guess you would call them that we want to live by. First, our marriage comes first, if anything starts to interfere with that then we put a stop to it. Second comes our friendship with all of us together. We really value what has already formed and want it to grow, so that is a priority to us. Third comes the relationships between RJ and Sara and Jaime and I, including the sex and more. Sara and I want to maintain those priorities in that order and if number three starts to cause problems with one or two, it stops. No hard feelings. No blame." I paused to check their reactions and they nodded in agreement. "In order to help maintain those priorities, we decided that any time after we have had one-on-one with the other person's spouse, we would have a time of reconnecting as husband and wife again. Absolutely no secrets. We tell each other everything, especially our thoughts and feelings. Full, open and honest communication is the only way all this works, so everyone knows that whatever I know or feel, Sara will know as well and vice versa." Everyone continued nodding but let me continue, "We believe that whatever this is between the four of us is, it hopefully is a long-term relationship well beyond friendship. And it is not just a group of one-on-one relationships, but rather one big relationship between all four of us. In thinking that way, we came up with the idea that everyone should know everything that the others are saying, thinking, feeling. To that end, we want to propose using this app that I know of from work that allows people to form a group for texts, calls, and video chats without sharing actual cell phone numbers. It's not that we don't trust each other or you guys, but rather we want everything to be fully transparent. Sara and I tell each other everything including our thoughts and feelings, but now if there are four of us, we want to extend this sharing to include you guys. Also, this is all so new to us, that despite what happened last night we want to take this carefully as this is uncharted territory for us. So, with this app, we set up a group and give all of us the group name and password. Then all conversations are out in the open through the app and even if just two people talk or video chat, we are all alerted of the calls and videos. I think there is even an option for calls and videos to be recorded or transcribed if we want to. Eventually we will probably do away with the app, but we thought it might be good to start out this way and figure all this out. I hope that doesn't offend you guys."

A misty-eyed Jaime interrupted, "Wow, no wonder you guys were gone so long. You really thought all this through. RJ and I were just reveling in everything that happened, but you two were also concentrating on how to take this to the next level and how to make it last. You really do care about us so much to already be working so hard to see how we can stay in your lives. Please know that we want you in our lives too well beyond this week. I agree that whatever we have or are doing is so new and different, that starting out with some caution is actually a really good idea. I have never even heard of having this type of relationship much less know how to make it work. I like the app idea. This truly has to be one big relationship to work, not a bunch of separate relationships. I want you all to know what is going on between all of us as we figure everything out." RJ nodded in agreement.

Sara and I both breathed a sigh of relief and Sara continued, "Whew. We weren't sure how you would react to that because we could see it being perceived as a lack of trust, when really we want it to be the opposite, where we trust each other so much that we will share everything with each other equally and fully and are committed to make this work and stay and we are all one."

There were hugs all around and some tears before I continued, "We hope we can go on at least one week of vacation together each year. The rest of the year will be more difficult because we live over eight hours apart by car. We just hope we can find a way to get together a few other times a year for at least a long weekend, such as Memorial Day and Labor Day. Driving eight hours for a weekend or even flying to get together doesn't give us much time, it really needs to be more than just a normal weekend. So that is a really big downside about this whole thing that we weren't able to figure out; the limited time to be physically together is something we all need to work on together to figure out, but the app will allow us to stay in touch between our times together. I guess we should think of this a long-distance romance, but with four people involved not just two."

Jaime chimed in, "I like that, a romance."

RJ spoke up, "So what now? I'm not sure what the next step is or how we proceed."

Sara responded, "Well like Pete said, after time away with the other person's spouse, we always want to set aside time to reconnect with our own spouse. It is very important that we get some one-on-one time together and maintain our marriages as the number one priority." Again, everyone nodded and hugged their spouse. "So, we felt it important that the rest of today and tonight be spent just as married couples. We still have a lot to process, and we all need to discuss what we have already talked about and make sure we all agree that we want to go forward and this is the way to go about it or if we need to change things. Also, we will need to see if anyone has additional thoughts or rules to add. In order to do this, we need alone time and to avoid distractions... and you guys are very, very distracting," Sara smiled, and we all snickered.

"So, we should probably close the laundry room passageway," I continued, "and then re-open it tomorrow morning, when we can get together for breakfast at our place and make sure we are all on the same page still."

Everyone agreed that was a good idea. Another round of long, powerful hugs ensued followed by passionate kisses between RJ and Sara and Jaime and myself, before we parted and went our separate ways, grabbing the piles of towels, clothes, and underwear that immediately brought back memories of last night.
