Ahoy there! Bare bottom birching and wife sharing, dead ahead. Come about and reverse course if that's not your cup of tea. Sorry if this story is not for you, matey.
A work of fiction, meaning it's all make-believe. All characters are over 18. This sequential tall tale is best understood by starting with chapter one, but here's a synopsis.
Empty nesters Myra and Wendell have stayed overnight with their friend Rich at his family's lake house. With the help of legal weed and with hubby's permission, Myra had sex with Rich. Let's join them next morning for breakfast.
*****
I awoke to the smell of coffee. Myra's side of the bed was empty and felt cool, and I could hear her working in the kitchen. I laid in bed for a few minutes thinking before I got up. Last night had been one for the record books. First-time weed in 30 years and first-time wife sharing, ever.
I felt misgivings. Had dope smoking led me to give my wife away to have sex with my best friend? I didn't think I would've done it without the influence of the weed, but I knew I bore ultimate responsibility. She had moped around after sex, naked and wanting more, but I was the one who'd sent her to Rich to have more sex. It was
my
deal,
I
was the one. Her enjoyment and full participation was unquestioned because I'd heard their enthusiastic fucking and seen them entwined together on Rich's bed. The memory made we wince all the more because
I had caused it.
How did Myra feel this morning? I felt guilt.
I remembered the intense eroticism of last night. After trying our first weed in years, Myra had dressed seductively and exposed herself to Rich and me. Later, after sex, she'd posed nude in the full moonlight, standing in the upstairs window with Rich below in the shadows. Undoubtedly, he had gazed upon her nakedness. It was at that moment I'd realized what she wanted, what she was asking for. She hadn't hesitated when I'd told her to go to him.
I'd lain in bed listening to their lovemaking. It'd been the most wonderful and awful experiences of my life. Despite my resolve to give them privacy, I'd found an excuse to watch. Using my need for a drink of water for my Viagra, I'd crept down the hall to peek into Rich's bedroom and seen them. The sights and sounds of it had paralyzed me and stolen my breath. There on his bed and bathed in the silver moonlight, was my wife writhing in sexual ecstasy under Rich's vigorous thrusting. After they'd finished, she'd returned to my bed straight away and we'd immediately made love, but I didn't think I'd ever forget the vision of Myra and Rich fucking in the moonlight.
*****
Myra was at the stove, her back to me, and she was wearing a bright yellow spaghetti strap camisole with a matching pair of tap pants, an outfit I'd not seen before. Over that she wore a black, full length bib apron. Rich was holding a cup of coffee and watching her from the kitchen table. She was an alluring sight.
We men nodded to each other in greeting and Myra turned around to look.
"Good morning, Wendell! Would you like some breakfast? I'm making Rich some eggs and toast, would you like some, too?"
She wore a bright smile and seemed a little too cheerful. She wore a headband and her hair had that 'just slept in' look. She was wearing the low kitten heels from last night. When she turned around to face me her bare arms and legs made her appear naked under the apron, and oh-so impossibly cute. She took a few steps toward me and we pecked on the lips. She held a potholder in one hand and a spatula in the other, so our kissing was brief and perfunctory, but I caught a whiff of perfume.
"Dell, let's talk," said Rich, indicating the patio. We went out onto the deck and slid the door close behind us.
"Dell, this is awkward for me to say but last night was just tremendous! Thank-you for a wonderful gift, I can never repay you. I want you to know I'm not in love with Myra. I admire her and I admire you so much, and I value our friendship so, so much. We've been friends forever and I don't want this to come between us; our friendship is too important."
Here he stopped to wipe away a tear. Suddenly, the whole night came into better perspective and I felt foolish for the resentment I'd felt this morning. This had been a powerful event for Rich, too.
"I just...I mean...I...it's been so long. With Helen and everything...I can't tell you what it meant to me."
I knew exactly what he meant; we are long time simpatico friends.
"Breakfast is ready, boys." Myra had opened the patio door so we went inside. More would be said later.
Myra busied herself with cleaning up the kitchen while Rich and I silently ate breakfast.
"I'm going upstairs for a shower," she said, walking toward the stairs.
Holy Cow!
She was putting on a bit of a strut and her full bottom quivered and moved freely under her short tap pants. Is there anything better for a woman's legs than running?
We watched her go up the stairs and after she'd disappeared Rich and I looked at each other.
"Fuck," he said.
"Yeah, fuck indeed," I replied. "You sounded like you enjoyed yourself with her last night." There, it was on the table for discussion.
"Thanks, Dell, I feel kinda humbled by what you've done. I didn't expect it, you know? I promised you I wouldn't seduce her, and I didn't."
"I know, Rich. I'm sure she told you I sent her, and I'm not blaming you at all. She seemed so needy and I was out of commission. When she was standing there in the window it suddenly struck me what she really wanted. Actually, it was more than that. She needed it."
"Dell, when I looked up and saw her standing there in the moonlight? I about had a stroke! Actually, I had quite a few strokes," he said, laughing, and I laughed, too.
He continued. "After she turned around and left the window, I went upstairs but I sure didn't expect her to come to my room. Do you know what she said to me? She said, 'Wendell sent me to get fucked.' That about blew my head off!"
"Yeah, she's good at blowing heads off. I heard you last night."
"I knew you could hear us. She said she left the doors open so you could listen. I didn't know you were into that," Rich replied.
"I'm not, that was the first time. You're her first lover. Well, first lover, act two," I said, remembering their long-ago brief affair in college. I saw a look of surprise cross his face followed by a look of concern.
"Look, Dell, I'm really sorry if I've hurt you. Maybe I should've sent her back to you. I don't want this to wreck our..."
I interrupted. "Rich, Rich, relax, it happened and we can't take it back. Myra and I will talk today and sort this out. I know she's been flirty but something's going on with her. I've never seen her quite like this. Did she ever mention Claire Haskell to you?"
Rich paused for a moment before answering. "Yeah, a couple of times. For some reason she thinks you're going to leave her and go back to Claire. I know, it doesn't make sense. They found each other on Facebook and they've been chatting. Claire's a widow now, might be moving back this way. That's all I know."
What a remarkable piece of information! Myra had said nothing about chatting with Claire. I would make it a point to find out more, but I had to approach it delicately.
"Wendell, I've got to go to work this morning and put out some fires. Since I made lieutenant I'm never really off duty. It sucks, it's just some unpleasant stuff I've got to handle in person. You and Myra are welcome to stay or go home, whatever you please." He reached in his pocket and handed me the key to the house. "I'll be back later tonight. Here," he said, handing me the silver cigarette case with the joints inside. "Knock yourselves out. Just save some for me."
He got up and a few minutes later I saw his car drive away.
