Over the remainder of our first year sexually involved with Adrian Benton, several patterns emerged. Sometimes Nora would go to Adrian's house and remain overnight. Often Adrian and Nora were alone during her visit though a few times Janet was there too and Nora had sex with the both of them, more and more enjoying sex with both of them or with Janet alone. Twice Nora stayed overnight with Janet when Adrian was away. Several times Janet came to our house to be with me when Nora was with Adrian; she and I became good friends as well as pleasing sexual partners.
Also during those months Nora enjoyed sex at our house with two of the partners Adrian had introduced to her. The first was the black doctor from Milwaukee, Randall and the second was Haruki, the Japanese chef. On those occasions we would invite one of them to have dinner with us; then Randall or Haruki and Nora would have sex, always in the living room, while I watched. Then the two of them would go to the guest bedroom and I would not see either again until breakfast. With Nora's agreement I recorded all of her private time with both of them and she and I watched those together later so I was not deprived entirely of sharing her experiences.
We enjoyed our relationship with Adrian and Janet and hoped it would continue; we also looked forward to new sexual experiences we believed Adrian would lead us to. At the same time we did not want to treat Adrian as the sole source of our further sexual development. I especially wanted Nora to avoid such dependency, and I told her so.
Late one Friday afternoon in October I carried home two bottles of a fine Pinot Noir. Nora and I planned to cook a favorite dinner and to spend a quiet evening staying in.
As we worked in the kitchen, I described to Nora my all day meeting with three lawyers, one each from the firm's western offices in Denver, San Francisco and Seattle. I explained the same group would be meeting here in Chicago on the third Friday each month for at least the next six months to examine the legal and financial implications of broadening the firm's practice to anti trust cases.
"Nora, the lawyer from the Denver office, Richard Hart, is a very smart and handsome guy and I especially look forward to working with him. Over lunch today we quickly formed a good relationship." I showed Nora the photo with Richard's entry on the firm's website describing his education and legal experience.
"Richard Hart indeed is very nice to look at" Nora said. "What is he like and what did you find you especially liked about him?"
"Richard is very engaging, articulate, and confident. I think you would like him because he is knowledgeable about the contemporary art scene, especially but not only in Denver, and generally he is very well read. We talked mostly about books we have read recently, and I liked his taste, especially in fiction. He also looks to be in great shape from the hard hiking in the mountains around his cabin near Estes Park and his nearly daily swimming when he is home in Denver.
" Richard told me has been separated from his wife for nearly two years, though they have not divorced. He said he has had several short term relationships but nothing serious enough to continue, he is not interested in one night stands but looks for women who are interesting and attractive with whom he can be friends as well as have a satisfying sexual relationship. Of course I thought of you, Nora. Richard seems very self confident and he sounded very sexually experienced though not in a boastful way. I would bet he would want to give as well as take pleasure from any woman he is with." Nora smiled at that.
"How would you know?" she said.
I told Nora that I obviously couldn't be sure, "But when I showed Richard several pictures of you I keep in my office he immediately told me he envied me having such a beautiful wife. I remember the specific words he used were elegant and exceptional. And he added he hoped I was good to you and was able to fully satisfy such a desirable woman."
As we drank our first glass of wine, I said, "Nora, Richard presents an opportunity for a relationship with someone who could be a friend to both of us and also someone you would find highly desirable as a lover. It would be nice for you to find someone very intelligent and appealing for you to enjoy sexually who would also have high regard for you. I would like it if you would come to anticipate meeting with him each time he is in Chicago. I suspect you need someone younger than Adrian and someone who will be a friend rather than a mentor, someone who would be a steady lover for you and not preoccupied with seeking new adventures for us.
"Whatever you think of the potential for a sexual relationship with Richard, Nora, I would like to invite him to a quiet dinner with us here next month when he is in town for our next group meeting. There will be no pressure for the relationship to develop in any particular way, but I think a nice friendship will result in any case."
Nora agreed to this and I contacted Richard early the following week. He arranged to join us for dinner. I also sent him a few more photos of Nora, several with her in negligee and one of her in a bikini that I had taken a few years before. No one could resist wanting to meet the woman in these poses. I told Nora a few days later that I had done this.
As that early November Friday approached, I offered to cook one of my special dinners for Nora and Richard. I reasoned that, after initial talk among the three of us, my work in the kitchen would give the two of them more time to get acquainted. I encouraged Nora to wear something elegant and understated but with a top that would show the outline of her breasts and nipples, making clear that she wore nothing underneath her sweater. I asked her also not to wear anything under her skirt. Ordinarily dressing like this seemed to excite her when she was with an attractive man. As usual, as I watched her dress that evening, my 28 year old Nicole Kidman look-alike wife looked very sexy in her tasteful way. I knew Richard would immediately find her stimulating in more ways than one.
When Richard arrived, Nora seemed very relaxed and, over drinks, she and Richard easily engaged in spirited conversation. I could tell that they found one another appealing and that gradually they were adding a more flirtatious and intimate tone to their conversation. They both understood what the evening might hold for the two of them. When I announced that I was going to the kitchen to finish dinner, Nora leaned over to whisper, "James, Richard is even better than I could have imagined."
When I retuned Nora had her arm in Richard's as they came to the table and he stood behind her and held her chair for her. I pointed him to the chair across from Nora while I took the chair at the top of the table between them. Richard could hardly take his eyes off Nora and a glance at her nipples prominent against her sweater confirmed she already was relishing his attention. He glanced very briefly at me as he said, "James, Nora is even more beautiful and more engaging than you had described. I thank you already for this evening and for the opportunity for the three of us to become close friends."
The good conversation continued over dinner and Richard's comments confirmed what I had told Nora about his knowledge of contemporary art. I listened and watched as the two of them continued getting to know one another and I restricted my own comments so they would engage directly as much as possible. They weren't trying to hide the fact each found the other desirable as well as otherwise interesting.
As we finished eating, I sensed I would not be rushing things for either of them by acting on what I perceived was already happening. Richard might be surprised by what I was going to do but Nora had become accustomed to my taking the lead when I was confident in what we both wanted to happen. So I got up and moved to stand behind Nora's chair, and I described for them what I was sensing. "It seems to me the two of you already are enjoying each other's company, something I hoped for and expected. I doubt I am going too far in saying out loud what also is clear; it is apparent the two of you find each other very desirable. I'm happy if I am right in that.
" Richard, Nora knows I showed several sexy photos of her to you a month ago and that you remarked on her beauty and desirability. Nora, today at lunch I showed Richard several photos of you of a more erotic and intimate nature. You have already told me you find Richard very handsome and now you have confirmed it in person. And you seem to find each other interesting as well as attractive. It is only natural, and very obvious to me, the two of you are thinking about what it would be like to be together sexually tonight. If I am wrong and if you either would like to end the evening now, let me know." Not surprisingly neither spoke.
"Richard, I told you when I was showing you those photos today Nora has beautiful breasts and likes for them to be admired and touched. Would you like for me to unbutton Nora's sweater so that you can see her lovely breasts?"
Richard's voice was unsteady as he responded, "I am eager for that, James."
As I began to unbutton Nora's sweater she stopped me. "James, let me do that." Then, as she proceeded deliberately, one button at a time, "Richard, do you like this? I want to do it for you. Look at me! "
Richard's eyes were riveted on her as Nora then cupped her breasts, presenting them to him from only a few feet away. As she paused for his reaction, I then reached around her chair and brought one hand down between her legs which she opened for me. "Richard, Nora is already very wet. She must enjoy showing herself to you. Nora, why are you this wet already?"
