(My thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier writings. I know it has been awhile since I posted but that is part of the tale. When I showed Michelle the "Joy of Candi 1" memoir, she was very uncomfortable with the idea of going pseudo-public. Per her wishes, I agreed to cease. However, events over the last years have changed her mind and it is with her blessing that I continue the tell the story of our lives and our loves. A lot has happened since then, so there are many chapters ahead – if I feel that people are reading them and enjoying them. Let me know)
Having a new lover is like being a kid on Christmas eve. You know there are delights ahead and you have a vague idea of what they might be but you're not really sure exactly what you might unwrap..
Having a new couple to love is just like that – only raised to the fourth power. You have two new lovers as well as your husband. The potential combinations are numerous, the potential joy unbound. The presents under the Christmas tree are almost infinite.
After our adventure with Peter and Michelle, Jim and I returned home in a state of sexual frenzy and slept and fucked the rest of the night away. I was pretty sure that Peter and Michelle did the same so I wasn't entirely surprised when I got an early morning phone call from Michelle. She wanted to meet with me to talk about the situation. Under normal circumstances, I would have asked for clarification as to whether this was going to be a positive or a negative conversation, but when she used the phrase 'amazing fucking night' I didn't have to.
It was a typical Saturday so we decided to stick to the regular schedule. We all headed to the gym for our usual workout and then Michelle and I were going to head off to lunch. When Jim and I pulled into the parking lot, we saw Peter and Michelle just getting out of their car. I'm not sure if it was arranged but it gave us all a chance to say hello for the first time since our sexual sharing without being observed by our other friends. I think the ear to ear grin on Peter's face might have led them to suspect that something was up.
No words were spoken about the previous evening but the tacit acknowledgements through hugs, hand gestures and body language made it clear to me that our experience had been a very good one for everyone involved.
It was fun to watch the boys work out and remember visions of their bodies from the night before. I caught Michelle's eyes a few times and I could tell she had similar thoughts. I also watched Michelle shower with a new fascination, knowing that my tongue had explored her just twelve hours earlier.
Michelle had already told Peter that she only wanted to have lunch with me, so he had been working the phones that morning trying to find some Red Sox tickets. Being the salesman that he is, he was successful and so Jim and Peter headed up to Boston for the day and Michelle and I headed out for our own fun. As soon as we got in the car, words began to gush out of her.
"Shit, Candi, I cannot believe what happened last night! Not just with you two, but afterwards as well. It was like Peter and I were together for the first time. The whole thing was just totally amazing."
I decided to stay reserved and let her dictate the conversation. "I'm glad you approved."
"Approved? I feel like me whole body has just opened up to some new force. I only slept about two hours. I just kept thinking about it over and over again. I'm excited – but excited in about ten different ways. What about you?"
"Honestly, Michelle?" She looked at me and nodded. "It was extraordinary. Jim and I have been with other people before but never with people that we were so close to. It was just terrific. The question now is where do we go from here?"
I knew where Jim and I wanted things to go but I needed to hear Michelle and Peter's take on things. Michelle paused, but then the answer came gushing out.
"I know I sound like some kind of whore, Candi, but I want more and more of the same. Forget some of the rules that I set last night. I want to be fucked by two men. I want to make love to you again. I want to experience all of the things that you have and I want us to experience some new things together. I'm not getting any younger and I just feel that this is an opportunity – and Jim and you are a couple – that I want to fully experience. Is that possible?"
"How does Peter feel?"
"He told me last night that he loved me more fully than he ever has before. He wants me to be happy. I haven't told him what I just told you but I think he knows by the way I responded last night. I am a little afraid to let my wild side out so completely – do you think he might get offended or threatened?
"Only time can answer that one. I can tell you that if you are just honest with him about your relationship – your relationship aside from some of the sexual things that you might experience – then everything is going to be alright. Jim has done a great job of understanding that. I am Candi, his loving wife who would never stop loving him or hurt him unnecessarily and I am also this other ego, that loves to experiment and experience sexually. We even have a name for that side of me – Joy."
"Are you saying that I need a nickname?"
"No, Michelle," I answered, "although it does help to clarify things. I am saying that both you and Peter have to compartmentalize the sex acts from your feelings for each other. Everything else will follow naturally. But that's the bigger picture – what do you want to do in the short term."
Michelle thought about my question before answering. "I want to eat lunch and then I want to prepare for an evening with our two men. I want to continue last night's adventure if the three of you are up for it. I'm sorry to be so direct but I want pleasure!"
I laughed at her wording but I knew what Michelle meant. She had yet to experience the feel of two men in her body. She had yet to experience many things that I had already encountered. I knew her eagerness. I knew her hunger.
And I knew how to make it comfortable for her. "Alright, Michelle, here's what I am going to do for you. Tonight will be your night. Tell me all of the things that you want and I will serve as your aide. I will tell the boys what to do so that you don't seem so brazen. I will orchestrate the night the way that you want it and make sure that your pleasure is the first concern for everyone."
"But, Candi, that isn't fair. You....."
