Rick entered the house through the garage and dropped his computer backpack on the bench next to the door. He looked up and noticed that Kim had company.
"Hi Wendy, how are you?" he asked.
"Hi Rick. I'm good, thanks." Wendy responded.
Wendy and Kim were sitting on the sofa, each sipping a glass of red wine. He was glad to see Wendy, because he knew how close Kim was to her best friend, and how worried she had been over the past week since she admitted to Wendy that she slept with her ex-husband, Alan, after they broke up.
Both girls were smiling at him, so he took that to be a good sign. He decided to join them with a glass of wine, so he took another goblet out of the cabinet and picked up the open wine bottle on the counter to fill it. He kept tilting the bottle until it was vertical, and two drops came out. The girls were still watching him, and they burst into giggles when he looked up at them.
"You need to open another bottle, and bring it in here with you, baby." Kim said to him.
Rick did that as Kim murmured something to Wendy, then he went in and sat on the recliner across from the sofa. The girls had their shoes off, and Kim had her feet tucked under her legs. It certainly appeared as though things were relaxed between the two.
Kim said to Rick, "I just told Wendy about the night Alan came over and I fooled around with him for the first time."
"Oh," Rick replied, then he added, "you know, Wendy, I was the one that put her up to that. She never would have even approached Alan if I hadn't pushed her into it."
Wendy smiled and said to Rick, "It's okay, Rick. I do know that, and honestly, Alan and I are past being jealous of each other at this point. I just wanted Kim to tell me about it because I am having a hard time understanding how the two of you do it. Sharing Kim with another guy, I mean."
Rick squirmed a little in his chair, and tried to explain, "I know a lot of people would think I was crazy, letting a woman as sexy as Kim, whom I love dearly, get involved with another man. After Kim and Alan were together the first time, he asked me about that, himself.
I told him that I was pretty sure Kim was happy with me, so part of it is trust that she loves me and will stay in the relationship regardless of her experiences with someone else. I know there is risk involved, because Kim is not the kind of person who has anonymous sex. She has to feel something for the guy she is with, so I do understand there is a certain amount of risk there. I have to admit that part of my enjoyment comes from the knowledge of the emotional dangers we face, and the chance of me losing her.
But I want her to enjoy life and try as many things as possible, and I am sure that she is curious about other guys. I don't think Kim would ever have cheated on me to try sex with someone else, so if I want her to have that experience, I have to tell her and be honest about my own feelings. That was very hard to do.
I found out after that first time that I could handle the emotions of watching Kim with another guy. The only thing I still worry about is Kim or Alan being hurt because of the changes to our relationship after we shared an experience like that. I was probably being selfish when I pushed Kim into this and justified it as therapy for Alan, and I guess it could have backfired and hurt Alan rather than helped him, but we have been lucky so far and everyone seems happy, unless Alan told you something different?"
"No, no," Wendy said, "you know how Alan is. Just getting him to admit what happened was a chore. He made me come to Kim for the details. But I agree, his mood seems more level and happy now than he did before he got involved with Kim."
Kim had been silent through the whole exchange, but when Rick and Wendy turned their attention to her she smiled and raised her wine glass, "here's to friendship and sex," she said, "and the fun you can have when you mix the two!"
Rick and Wendy clinked glasses with her, and Wendy added, "to good friends and good sex, which I have been lacking lately!" Then realizing how that might be misinterpreted, she added, "the latter part, that is." She laughed with embarrassment and took a big swallow of her wine as Kim leaned over and put her arm around her shoulder.
Rick took the opportunity to get up and go to the bedroom to change out of his work clothes. He thought he might go for a run, so he put on running shorts and a t-shirt, and grabbed his running shoes before heading back downstairs.
The girls were still on the couch, but it seemed like something was different. He sat down again and looked carefully at the two. Their clothes were rumpled compared to when he left. Kim's shirttail was out of her shorts, and Wendy, who was wearing a simple medium length summer dress appeared to have unbuttoned the front down to the middle of her chest. Rick tried to remember how many buttons were undone before. Then Wendy shifted her legs and he realized the bottom of the dress was unbuttoned almost to her crotch! He wondered briefly if the two had been making out while he was gone.
The girls continued to chat, and he decided to put off his run to see what was going to happen next. Kim glanced at him and smiled. Wendy was talking about her new job at a restaurant that just opened up in town. It was called Med, and featured the small plate, or tapas menus that were becoming all the rage. He picked up the newspaper and looked at the front page.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wendy raise her left leg and tuck her heel under her right knee on the sofa. The move opened her skirt more, and he could clearly see her pussy in the gap between her thighs. She stroked her left calf absently with her right hand, and it obscured his view.
The girls continued to talk, and he tried to concentrate on the paper. Wendy's hand wandered from her calf back to her lap, and Rick was once again treated to a view of her very cute looking pussy. He could see that she was a natural blond, and her wispy pubic hair did little to hide the details of her sex.
Wendy then took her left hand and flapped the lapel of her dress, as if to cool off. She was turned partially toward Kim, so the motion opened the dress enough for him to see that she was braless. After a few flaps, another button came loose and he could see the nipple of her left breast, swollen with mother's milk since she was still nursing Samantha. Wendy had been a C cup before the pregnancy, now she was at least up to a D cup. She stopped and dropped her hand, leaving enough of a gap in the dress for him to still see most of her left breast.
Rick glanced over to Kim, and found her eyes drilling into his. "Whatcha lookin' at?" she asked him with a devilish grin. At that point it dawned on him that he had been set up.
Wendy looked at Rick, who was still holding the newspaper up to his face. Then she glanced down at his crotch, where the running shorts were tented out by his erection.
"Oh, my gosh!" Wendy gasped.
