When I got back downstairs Anne was sitting quietly in a chair reading a book. She looked up when I sat down on the couch next to her. "How's Linda doing?" She asked. "She just fell asleep. The doctor gave her some pretty strong medicine so I expect she'll sleep for at least three or four hours."
"Good!" Anne said, "The poor thing needs it and it will also give us a chance to have that little talk I mentioned to you."
"Oh yeah," I said like I had forgotten she'd mentioned it. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Come with me," she said. She got up and led me by the hand back up to her bedroom. This was exactly what I was afraid of. As much as I enjoyed having sex with Anne since Cathy and I had our talk I didn't think I should do it anymore.
I sat down on the bed with Anne. To my surprise she made no advances towards me. "Sam, we've got to talk about the situation we are all in. It seems that loving you is a thing we Caine women are finding far too easy to do. That concerns me because if we don't think this out someone is bound to be hurt. I already know Linda is going to be hurt since both you and Cathy have expressed your desire for each other. But Sam, you're just going to have to hang in there with her for a while. I know it's a little scary to think about but I'll be there to help you all the way and I'm sure Cathy will do everything she can to help as well. I have to admit, I was worried about Cathy but since you've arrived on the scene, you seem to have had a very dramatic and positive effect on two of my daughters. The problem is that there is only one of you to go around."
"So what do you suggest we do?" I asked her.
"I suggest we take things very slowly where Linda is concerned. Somehow we've got set up a scenario where she wants to dump you. Her making such a decision would be the best way things could happen. So, before we do anything, and I do mean anything, we need to take all reasonable precautions, like this," Anne said walking over to her bedroom door when she had installed a slide bolt. "I'm putting them on all the bedroom doors and the bath room so I can say that sometimes privacy is necessary even in a nudist camp. This way, no one will ever just barge in on anyone again. I think even Jim would be angered if he came home and found me in bed with someone. Although, he probably would mind so much if it were another woman. At least that world he understands and I don't believe he'd stand in judgment of me. At home all the rooms have locks on them anyway so we don't need to do anything there. As for the rest of the weekend, well, with Linda in bed we won't have to worry about her discovering anything until the doctor says she can get out of bed and that won't happen before Monday morning at the earliest. I was going to suggest that Cathy stay with you through Monday but she does have to work and Dawn doesn't so I've informed her of her assignment. She complained about having to do it but I told her she had no choice in the matter, that everything had already been decided. I told her to help you with Linda in whatever way you needed her. So she agreed to that. Sorry I have to take Cathy away from you but you know it's for the best."
"Unfortunately I know it's true so I guess I'll just have to go along with your plan. I will just need to get word to my parents that I will be coming home a day or two late because of what happened and also call work Monday morning and inform them too of my problem." I stopped for a few seconds to consider my thoughts. "I don't like this sudden splurge into the world of logical thinking, I was so happy with the world of acting out fantasy."
"Well love, it's time to deal with reality. That does not mean, however, that you cannot indulge yourself in your fantasies as well you know."
"I hope you're right about that because I am going to need a little bit of that fantasy work to help me out with my desires or more accurately, my lusts."
Anne smiled crookedly at me when I said that. I had no problem in figuring out what was on her mind. Anne had only to reach for me and I fell into her arms kissing her profusely. My desires were so high for her I heard myself say, "God Anne, I love you, I really love you!"
In a voice which purred she replied, "Sam, you're really sweet to say that and I know you think you are in love with me but you aren't."
"I am too!" I protested.
"No Sam, you are simply infatuated with the idea of making love to your girlfriend's mother. I know you find me attractive and that really makes me feel good. You also make me feel like a woman, something I've needed to feel for a very long time. That is a lot of the reason I am doing this with you at all. But Sam, you are not in love with me. Lust yes, but not love. Sam, you have to admit your experience with love is very limited thus far."
"That's true," I had to admit I was still very inexperienced so I decided to believe her. I also decided, however, to hang on to the possibility of being in love with her. I posed that point to Anne.
She responded by saying, "There's nothing I can do to stop you from doing that. In fact, it's probably good that you do continue to consider it as long as you consider your love for Linda and Cathy as well. You know, you're a very lucky young man. You have three women who would do virtually anything for you. That can be an envious position to be in, one which I know many young men dream of. I think, however, you are also becoming very aware of the problems it brings with it."
"That's true. There are a lot of problems. I am really going to need your help in parting myself from Linda. It's funny, I still love Linda but my feelings for Cathy are much greater. The reason I say I'm in love with you is because my feelings for you are very great too and they feel just like the ones I have for Cathy."
"That's really nice of you to say and I do believe you mean every word you say. Still, I want you to do a long hard comparison between Cathy and me. I feel very confident you will find yourself preferring Cathy much more than me." The words Anne said in her mind immediately following were, 'At least I hope you do because God help us if you don't.' "Well dear, enough of that talk for now." Anne gave me another of what I considered her "famous" kisses. They were so very different from either Linda or Cathy.
Anne and I were made love for the next couple of hours. We managed to totally exhaust ourselves. "Are we going to be doing this once we get back home?" I asked.
"I don't see why not." She replied.
"Well, I don't think we should do it as often as we have here. Actually, to be entirely truthful with you, I'd hoped you would find another lover so I could devote my time and energies to Cathy, or as much as I can until the Linda situation is fixed."
"I understand Sam," Anne said quite seriously. "I've got to respect your wishes and if that's what you want then that's the way it will be."
"Thank you Anne. Oh, there is one more thing. I really don't like the idea of Dawn staying here with me. She's too sexual for me."
"What do you mean by that?" Anne asked quite curiously.
It was time for the truth to come out and for me to clean my soul. Yesterday, when you sent Dawn to get Cathy, Dawn stayed with me. She suggested we move to a different place and it all seemed quite innocent to me. It wasn't. Dawn's being naked and my being weak got me into trouble." I paused for a few moments to collect my breath and my thoughts. "I had sex with Dawn and I've been feeling horribly guilty ever since. No one but you and Dawn know this but I had to tell someone to get it out into the open. I'm too guilt ridden to ever want to do it again but I can't promise that Dawn would not figure out a way to break me down again. Sex is my weak point and she knows it far too well." When I said that I waited for Anne to say something. I sat quietly for quite a while. Anne had a very serious look of concern on her face while she thought about what I had told her. I was praying that she'd forgive me.
"Sam, to be honest, I'm very disappointed in you. I thought you had more strength than that."
I lowered my head and said, "So did I. I'm really sorry, I really am."
"I know you are Sam and I am going to forgive you. Your request to not leave Dawn shows your intent and I'll see to it that she goes home with me and I'll arrange for Cathy to stay with you." Then Anne smiled. "I do know that you love Cathy and if I tried to fight that using the Dawn incident I think I might spoil a good thing."
