Thanks to everyone who has offered constructive criticism and supportive feedback. This story can be read on its own. However, people interested in what brought me to this point should start with âWG â Day Oneâ and read about the previous two days.
I know that Iâve told you that I sleep really well when I am near the ocean, but as I fell asleep that Saturday night I was essentially passing out from physical and mental exhaustion. The images of that night â the images of my Jim and one of his best friends, Sam, touching me and cumming because of me â were difficult to forget and I fell into a fitful sleep that I knew would mean awakening again in the middle of the night. So it was not a surprise when I jolted out of a dream around 4 am and looked around the bedroom that we had taken over for the weekend. Jim seemed to be sound asleep at my side so I made it a point to remain still as my mind began to race again.
I suppose one might think that I was ashamed of my activities. I had bounced back and forth between the bedrooms of these two men is search of pleasure, both given and received. But I felt no shame. I felt pride. And that deep sense of satisfaction and pride drove my thoughts forward. After all, I wasnât a teenager who might choose to do things on a whim or because of an extra glass of wine. I had chosen to help Sam on Friday night and I had been with both men sexually on Saturday (but not together, one at a time) because of MY decision. I had pleased them (of that I was sure) and they had pleased me so there was no sense of shame or regret as I lay there in the dark. On the contrary, my thoughts were riveted on replaying the scenes in my head and inevitably my thoughts also turned to the future.
Sunday lay ahead of us and I could take the weekend as far as I wanted. The one nagging thought I had, though, was Jimâs reaction to my escapades. It is one thing to say that it is okay for your girlfriend to be with another man and another to see her returning to your bed with his seed running into her eyes. I knew that there was the potential for major regret on Jimâs part after the fact, despite his consoling words of the day before. I had to know what he was thinking so I turned and buried my body against his in hopes of awakening him.
It didnât take long before my movements and caresses brought him out of his sleep. I particularly loved it when he woke up next to me and came back to reality at the sight of me. I could usually tell how much he loved me by the way he reacted subconsciously to the awareness that this was his life and that I was his girl. I watched him closely that night to see if his initial, uncontrolled reaction to the sight of me would change. Thankfully it did not as he smiled sweetly and reached his right arm around me. âHey, baby, are you having trouble sleeping?â he asked.
âI was just thinking about things. Itâs been kind of a crazy weekend, huh?â I watched Jim closely. As his consciousness cleared and he conjured up the images from the night before he grinned broadly and pulled me to him. âI know that you said that you accepted my actions and everything, Jim, but I really love you â maybe now a lot more than I did two days ago â and I need to hear you say it again.â
There was a silence that I hadnât expected and with my face resting against his chest I couldnât see the expression on his face. I remember hearing my heartbeat and thinking it was getting louder in the dark silence. I caught my breath as he began to speak.
âCandi, will you marry me? Thatâs how accepting I am of everything you did, everything that you do and everything that you are going to do. I donât want a wife or a lover who is soft and gentle and predictable. I want my life to be full of fun and change and experiences. I want to wake up every day and wonder what exciting thing will happen to me by the time I go to bed. I want to feel like I did when I was ten years old and it was the first day of summer. I want my life, I want OUR life, to be a series of endless possibilities. I need a strong, loving woman and I thank the heavens that I have found her. I am not going to let you go, unless you decide you must and even then it will be a fight to the death.â
I knew that this was not a for-real, down-on-one-knee, ring-in-hand proposal from Jim, but rather a statement of commitment and acknowledgement that the other type of question would be popped at some appropriate time in the future. However, being a woman, I had to make sure. âOh no you donât, buddy. Whereâs the wine? Whereâs the fancy jewelry box? Whereâs the seven-course meal?â We both laughed. âYouâre going to have to do a lot better than that to get me to the altar, you loser.â
I lifted my head and kissed Jim passionately. I could feel his erection below me and I lifted one leg over him so that he could slide into me. Our act had none of the frenzy of the previous nights but it somehow underlined the commitment that we had just discussed and the direction that we both knew our love was rapidly heading towards. It was the kind of lovemaking that you can only have with a serious partner â steady, comfortable, with an accent on the love and a disregard for the making. After a few minutes I felt Jim stiffen slightly beneath me but his orgasm lacked the intensity of the previous evening for obvious reasons. We settled back into a hug and shared the silence for a while.
âCandi, I talked to Sam yesterday and he mentioned your concern about his saying anything about this weekend. He assured me that it would remain confidential.â
Now, I am not naĂŻve enough to know this was true. At some point, in about twenty years, I would hope that Sam would regale a group of strangers about the events of the weekend. I hoped that he would mention me obliquely and remember me fondly as he detailed his thoughts, feelings, and actions. I hoped that he would treat the memory of me kindly. But I wanted him to keep the story for sometime down the road. I wanted his silence for the time being so that Jim and I could continue our lifeâs journey together without the interference of others, well-intentioned or not. The sincerity of Samâs words, as related by Jim, rang true.
Jim continued as if he were reading my mind. âI mean I am sure that he will have to say something about it to someone down the road. Itâs a great story. But I know he will keep our confidence and our anonymity. He promised me and I trust him.â The odd thing was that I trusted Sam as well. When I was with him last night he was scoring very high on my personal sincerity meter and that is a tough lie detector test to beat. As our bodies touched the previous night, I felt that in some way Sam actually loved me â not in the way that Jim did with lifelong commitments on the horizon, but in a way that made me know he was pleased not just sexually but emotionally. I trusted Sam and in that trust I began to form an idea for what the third day of our weekend getaway would bring. My questions had been answered by Jim and my consciousness began to slip away, to be replaced by sweet dreams of the future, both near and far.
Sunday began the way Saturday had. The sky was a piercing blue and the temperatures were in the high seventies but there was a report of approaching clouds so we threw our belongings together and hustled off to the beach. Sam had given me a sweet kiss on both cheeks when I first saw him and there was no sense of any awkwardness between the three of us. Once we had established our territory on the beach, Sam took off for more windsurfing and Jim and I just made small talk and watched the other people. It was not as crowded as the day before and it was fun to watch all the little kids play in the ocean and think of how all the big kids had played the night before. Around one oâclock, the darker clouds began to amass offshore and the temperature started to drop. Sam had still not returned from the other side of the beach so I thought it was a good time to talk privately with Jim.
âJim, you know that last night I did not allow Sam to enter my body.â My phrasing was deliberate â with Jim it was making love, with Sam it would have been entering my body. âWhat if at some time in the future I allowed things to go a little further with him. I want to make sure that you wonât have a problem.â
âAs long as I know about it, Candi, and you are not sneaking off to do it behind my back, donât even think twice about it. I accept your independence. I want your love but I donât want to own you. You are a sexy woman who drives me wild with desire and things like this only fuel that feeling. How does that song go â âI just want to hold you, I donât want to hold you down?â â He waited for a minute to see if I wanted to say anything. I didnât, so he continued. âIs there a reason for bringing this up now, Joy?â Jim smirked at me at the use of his pet name for me. It seemed that Joy was becoming my alter ego in this ever expanding weekend of revelations. âHas Joy got some plans floating around in her head?â
I did but they were not defined as they had been the night before. I needed to have control on Saturday. Having generated that control over the situation, I now felt I could turn some of the reins back to Jim and Sam. My plans involved their plans, but I didnât want to reveal them just yet. âI might,â I said before adding, âIt depends on how willing my victims might be.â And just as I made that remark, Sam appeared about forty yards away on his windsurfer, bearing down on our little stretch of beach. We watched him hit the edge of the water and pull the board onto the sand.
âIt looks like it may get nasty this afternoon,â he said. âThose clouds are looking to put an end to our weekend.â Although he hadnât intended it, Samâs words struck at each of us as the thought of the weekendâs termination swarmed into our minds. The words hung in the air as heavily as the approaching rainclouds and I felt it was up to me to lighten the mood.
âNonsense,â I said a little too loudly. âThe weekend has just begun. I know we said that we were going to drive back tonight but couldnât we stay another night and drive up early for work tomorrow. Itâs only an hour drive.â I knew that what I had said to the boys and what I had indicated to the boys were two very different things. They glanced at each other as if in acknowledgement and then looked back at me. âWell, wouldnât it be FUN if we had another night together in Rhode Island? I certainly think so.â
