The two other occupants of the house took notice when Amelia and Larry walked hand in hand out of Larry's bedroom: Patrick followed them closely as he sat at the dining table (Nina, as usual, had banished him from the kitchen as a useless male who would only get in her way as she prepared a lavish breakfast), and Nina looked them up and down as they sauntered into the kitchen—Larry to get a quick cup of coffee before exiting, and Amelia to take her customary place as Nina's helper in making the meal.
As they sat down to eat, Nina in particular noticed a complete change in Larry's demeanor: for the first time since his arrival at the house, he seemed calm, relaxed, and at peace with himself. Nina almost burst into derisive laughter as he gazed lovingly at Amelia, but managed to restrain herself; Patrick, for his part, had to resist giving Larry a hearty slap on the back, as if to say, "Way to go, guy!"
Nina collared Amelia after breakfast was over.
"So, how was it?" she said excitedly, with the giddiness of a teenager pumping her friend for juicy details.
"Oh, Nina, you don't have to ask," Amelia said primly.
"Oh, come on, Amelia! Give me some details."
"That's pretty rude of you! Don't you believe in privacy?"
"I'm not sure," Nina said drily, "that there's any such thing in this house."
"Well," Amelia said, blushing, "it was fine—wonderful, in fact."
"Wonderful, eh?"
"Yes. It probably wasn't just me. It's pretty clear he's—missed it."
"Yeah, I bet he has. His precious Wendy left him ages ago."
"But I've grown really close to him ever since he got here. I think he's a dear." Amelia looked suddenly spooked, wondering if she had made a faux pas: after all, given the way Larry had treated Nina during their marriage, she wouldn't exactly have characterized him as "a dear."
But all she said was: "Is that so?"
"Yes," Amelia said defiantly. "I—I feel a lot for him." She was strangely reluctant to admit to Nina exactly how much she felt for Larry.
"I can see you do. But frankly I'm not interested in that. I want to know what you
did.
"
"I'm not telling you!" Amelia said hotly.
"Oh, just give me
something.
How many times did he do it?"
"Um, three, I think."
"Yeah? That's pretty good! Did he go into your bottom?"
"Yes, once." Then, after a pause: "You know, he's not quite well enough to, um, take charge, if you know what I mean."
"Oh, so you're saying you had to be on top?"
"Yes."
"You couldn't have done anal sex that way."
"We did that on our sides. He could manage that."
"Well, good for him." Nina herself paused as she peered intently at Amelia. "I just hope you didn't tire him out too much—because I'm next."
Amelia gasped. "You mean to say—?"
"Yes," Nina said, almost grimly.
"But—but what's Patrick going to say? I mean, it's one thing if Larry does it with me, but with you . . ."
"I'm sure he won't mind. I mean, where does he get off denying me when he—you know." And she gazed significantly at Amelia.
"I see what you mean."
"Anyway, I really don't think he'll care."
"You really feel that much for Larry—after what happened?"
"Oh, that was years ago. And anyway, he's apologized until he's blue in the face. In a lot of ways, he's suffered more than I have because of what he did. So maybe he deserves some forgiveness."
"I think so. But it helps that you also have Patrick."
"Yes—that helps a lot."
"Well, all I can say is, good luck. You may have forgotten how big he is."
"I'm sure it'll come back to me."
It was fairly late in the evening before Nina brought up the subject with Patrick. It was, of course, Amelia's turn to be with him, but she waited demurely in Patrick's studio while Nina had what promised to be a fairly brief discussion with her always laconic husband.
"Um, Patrick," she began, "I think you know what I want to say."
"Yes, I do," he said, as he calmly stripped naked in front of her. He had certain plans for Amelia, trusting that
she
wasn't too tired after her encounter with Larry.
"You don't mind, do you?" she went on.
"Not in the least. I just wonder how you've changed your mind about him."
"Oh, that's all in the past. I never really stopped caring for him, you know."
"Yeah, I know. You wouldn't have gotten so angry when talking about him if there wasn't some residual affection there."
"Right you are, you clever man! And I did basically force you and Amelia to take him into the house so he could recover."
"Yes, you did."
"So—it's okay?"
"I said so." Looking right at her, he added: "You have my permission."
She threw her arms around her naked husband, gave him a big kiss on the mouth, said, "You're such a dear," and tripped out of the room. As Amelia made her way to the bedroom, Nina winked at her as she flitted down the stairs.
She wondered whether Larry knew what was in store for him. Giving his closed bedroom door only a perfunctory knock and saying, "It's me, Larry," she burst into the room without further ado.
She was taken aback by the sight of him lying on his bed, his upper body propped up against the headboard. He was entirely naked.
Her mouth dropping slowly, she said, "Oh, so you were expecting me to show up? Or were you thinking Amelia might drop by for another session?"
"Amelia's a darling, and I care for her deeply," Larry said. Like Amelia herself, Larry seemed to find it a bit embarrassing to admit to Nina that he actually loved Patrick's ex-wife. "I wasn't
expecting
you to come by—but a man is allowed to hope, isn't he?"
All the while, Larry's member was getting larger and larger. It didn't hurt that Nina was watching its expansion with rapt attention.
She stripped in almost exactly the same way Amelia had done the night before, pulling her nightgown from her shoulders and let it drop to the floor. That act only completed the engorgement of Larry's organ.
"Let's see what we've got here," Nina said in a businesslike fashion as she fell to her knees next to Larry's bed. She promptly put his cock in her mouth, making satisfied sounds as she recalled its aroma and savor from her years of marriage with him. She had never found him deficient as a lover; in fact, it was she who—in his opinion, anyway—had shown a disinclination toward certain sexual practices that Larry had thirsted for.
Well, I'll show him who's a prude and who isn't!
Remembering what Amelia had said about how Larry wasn't fully fit for action, she said, "Shall I go on top?"
Larry seemed tempted by the prospect, but said, "I'd like to try being on top." The women had, of course, given him his daily massage earlier, and he already seemed to be regaining his strength.
"Okay, big guy," Nina said, "give it your best shot."
As Nina placed herself on her back next to him, Larry gingerly positioned himself on her and plunged in. It did take a few moments for Nina to adjust to Larry's larger member, but she quickly found its length and girth supremely satisfying—which was not to say that Patrick's cock was deficient in any way. Larry's thrusts were mild and gentle at first, but as he gained confidence and strength he increased his tempo; and, in spite of his three climaxes the night before, he sent his seed into Nina with all the enthusiasm of a teenage boy.
He made sure to satisfy Nina with his fingers afterward, and as they were resting for what was surely a second round to come, she said slyly, "You wanna go into my bottom, don't you?"
"You like that now?"
"I do."
"Is that Patrick's doing?"
"It is."
"Good man!"
He lubed her up and entered her, taking precautions not to force his way in too fast or too forcefully. In due course of time he had filled her up to the hilt, and as she sought to accommodate him he seized her breasts and nuzzled her neck and shoulders. They both gloried in this most intimate union of their bodies, and Larry bestowed upon her an emission that seemed to go on and on for minutes.
He pulled out, stumbled to the bathroom to wash, then returned to the bed for some serious cuddling.
As he wrapped his arms around her, he said, "So . . . you forgive me?"
She eyed him askance. "I'm not quite sure I've done that. What you did was pretty mean."
