The fact that Terry was married had me wondering just what was going on. I knew from talking to her over the years that I had known her, that she had been a wild child at one time. Now, here she was, telling me about the foursome, she and Lonny had had the month before last. I had the feeling that there was more to this than readily met the eye.
Since I was single, the foursome thing was out. I was also straight, so that part of a threesome was out. Well, that still left several options, so I was trying to read between the lines and to see where this was headed.
She did not go into any great detail, but I understood that a great time was had by all. I also figured out that Lonny was basically straight also. When Terry asked if Sharon and I had ever tried anything like that, several things became clear. One, this was a fishing trip and two; she did not know that Sharon and I had split up a while back.
"No Terry, we never tried anything like that. In fact, we aren't even together anymore. When she went to take care of her ailing Aunt last month, we split the blanket, so to speak." I told her in a low voice.
She looked at me for a long moment and then she took a swallow of her beer. I glanced around the nearly empty bar, to make sure there weren't any of the nosy people sitting too close to us. This conversation was definitely private, and I wanted to keep it that way.
Terry glanced at me. "I'm sorry to hear that. You two made a great couple. Can I ask what happened?"
"Let's just say that I beat my head on too many walls and that I had a headache. It wasn't any one thing, just a bunch of reoccurring problems that never went away."
She nodded understandingly. "I still see you two together from time to time but not like before. I was wondering what was going on."
I chuckled. "Oh, we spend a little time together, the sex was never a problem. I think that is what held us together for so long. Now, it keeps us both out of trouble, from jumping into some other relationship just for a roll in the hay."
Terry grinned and said, "I understand that. Lack of sex is only a problem, if you're the one not getting any."
I laughed. "Ain't that the truth."
She looked at me over the top of her beer mug for a moment as she took a drink. Sitting the mug down, she turned slightly toward me. "Speaking of which.... " She let the sentence hang for a second.
When I raised my eyebrows, she continued, "You know that Lonny went back to work on the river boats, don't you."
"I didn't know that. What happened to his job here?" I asked.
She shook her head and sighed. "He was putting in a lot of hours but not making enough money. He finally got tired of it and called a couple of old friends. He hired out on a tugboat as First Mate, the pay is good, but he is gone for weeks on end. It's been three weeks since he was home last and he won't be in for at least another two weeks." She paused again and took a sip of beer.
"It sounds like you're getting about as much as I am. I go to work and don't get back for three or four weeks. Then I have a week or ten days off, Sharon and I both have a chance to catch up, but it ain't like it used to be," I said and shook my head slowly from side to side. "When she worked with me, it was at least three or four times a week, now I'm lucky if it's twice a month."
Terry chuckled and nodded, "That sounds about right for us too. Talk about being frustrated. Lonny doesn't seem to miss it nearly as much as I do."
She paused to look into my eyes for a second, and then she took a deep breath. "That's why I asked Lonny, if he would mind if I spent some time with you. We both like you and trust you. Lonny knows that you are a gentleman and does not feel threatened by you. I've always found you to be interesting and I've been attracted to you for as long as I've known you."
I just stared at her for a second before I said, "Ok."
My silence drew out as I thought over what she had said. When I saw the smile on her face fading, I hastily added, "I find you very attractive, and I always have. In fact you have starred in a couple of my favorite fantasies, as of late." She grinned at that.
"My only problem is the fact that you are married. I don't poach on other men's range, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't want it done to me, so I don't do it."
She chuckled and said, "Since Lonny knows about it, it can't be poaching, as you call it. Think of it, as doing him a favor, you would be keeping me out of trouble. You know, keeping me away from some of the bad boys around here, the one's that would take advantage of a lonely woman."
I chuckled and replied, "I don't think there would be a chance of that, unless you wanted it to happen."
She grinned before she added, "Anyway, I do have an ulterior motive. I want a three way with two guys. Lonny has always been shy around other guys, not that I want the two guys to do anything with each other; I just want them both to take care of me. Four hands, two mouths, two.... Well, you get the idea. It happened once, a long time before I met Lonny and I want it to happen again with him. Do you think you could handle something like that?"
I shrugged and grinned. "I've only had the opportunity to try that once before in my life. The only problem was, I had been taking speed for a few days and was totally of no use in the bed, I'm sorry to say. The young lady wasn't disappointed but she didn't get all she wanted of certain things."
Terry laughed and asked, "You don't do speed now, do you?"
I shook my head and said, "Nope, gave up all the drugs a long time ago. That is except alcohol and I try to keep it to a minimum."
The bartender came by and I ordered us another beer apiece. When the beers were served and the bartender was once more on the other end of the bar, Terry asked, "Can you come over and work on the computers tomorrow, say around eight, in the morning. The kids will have already left for school. That'll give you most of the day to fix the major problems." She ended with a grin.
I chuckled and asked, "Yours or the computers?"
"Both," she answered, still grinning. "The computer needs its hard drive cleaned up and God knows I could use a hard drive of my own."
I shook my head slowly and smiled. "I think I can take care of both those problems for you."
About that time, Ann, Terry's next-door neighbor showed up. We did not get a chance to talk anymore until they got ready to leave. As Terry hugged me goodbye, she said, "I'll see you about eight in the morning, right?"
"I'll be there," I said.
*****
I had one more beer after Terry and Ann left, as my mind ran back over our conversation. Did I really want to get into something like this, was my question. Sex with Terry would probably be wild and uninhibited, that was on the plus side. The fact that she was married to Lonny was on the negative.
