*****
Edna and Cynthia met, as usual, after the church service. Cynthia asked if Edna needed a ride. Edna confirmed that she did, but added.
"I think we need to get together, Cynthia, there are some things we should talk about."
"Well," replied Cynthia. "Today is as good a time as any. Let's have lunch and sit down together."
"That will suit me fine, Cynthia." Edna wanted to call her darling, or a similar name, but they were both careful not to use endearments where they might be overheard.
They went to one of the downtown hotels. There were two, both had excellent restaurants that were open on Sunday. On the way they told each other what a wonderful time it had been over Thanksgiving.
Rick had been home from college for his Thanksgiving break. He had learned that the four women he made love with were also each other's lovers. He happily accepted the fact and made love with all of them. There had been an orgy-like atmosphere as he ate their pussies, they ate each other and sucked his cock.
"Thrills run up my spine whenever I think about it," Edna said.
Cynthia smiled. "I know what you mean, I get the same feelings."
They had a fine lunch and went to Edna's. She was expecting a call from Rick when he arrived back at school. She wanted to be sure she was home to get it. She asked Cynthia if she would prefer coffee, a drink, or wine. Cynthia opted for wine, since it was Sunday they had not been able to have anything alcoholic with lunch.
Edna got a bottle of her good wine and a couple of glasses. She poured for both of them.
"Well, Darling," Cynthia asked when they were settled. "What do we need to discuss."
Edna smiled at her. "I think you and I should talk about longer term. Where we see ourselves going, as a group. Do you have any thoughts about it?"
"A few," responded Cynthia. "They started as vague ideas, but they are starting to become more real. I haven't mentioned them because, until last week, they were really only fantasies." She paused before continuing. "You're Rick's mother. Maybe I should be asking you about long term plans."
Edna laughed. "I have complete faith in you, Cynthia, and I have only dreams for us. All of us, not just Rick and I.
"There's something I should know," Edna continued. "Not something you're keeping secret from us. Just something I need knowledge about. But I don't know what it is. Am I making sense?"
"Is this one of the feelings you get?" Cynthia asked.
"I guess, it hit me in church."
"I'll start, you ask questions when you think of them," Cynthia told her. "That way we may find the answer.
"When Rick and I first became lovers thoughts started creeping into my mind about the future. I had already considered selling the store and much of the preliminary work was already done."
Cynthia described the how her thoughts had progressed. First only a vague desire to make a future for Rick. That was soon followed by a yearning for Edna. The plan had become firmer over time. The idea of including his other lovers had seemed a natural step. The four way get together of the women, followed by the past holiday had seemed to make her ideas more definite.
"I would hope for a family. I never had one. I was an only child and had no children of my own. There was only a nephew and niece of my husband's. We seldom saw them and I rarely even hear from them now, except at Christmas.
"I can see all of you as my family; see all of us living together as a group. I think in a form of marriage, children and all."
"Is that why you're thinking of buying farm land?" Edna asked.
"Yes, but I've looked into it. I can see possibilities for the future. So even if my dreams don't come true it will be a good investment."
Cynthia continued thoughtfully. "Your approval and cooperation is necessary for the plan to succeed, Edna."
"Oh, I approve, Cynthia. Naturally my desires all revolve around Rick, but I feel a strong attachment to you, Carol and Lucy."
"Of course Rick is first in your thoughts, Edna. He is central. We can never be a family together without him. I think all of our lives revolve around him already, or soon will."
"What do you see as our roles?" Edna asked. She was finding herself excited about Cynthia's thoughts. She hadn't thought, yet, about whether they were practical.
"For you and me, I don't know." Cynthia answered with a slight frown. "These are things I haven't thought much about. I hope there will be children. You could be a mother if you wanted to be. I would if I could."
"I'd need to think hard about that," said Edna.
"I imagine," Cynthia said with a laugh. "Frankly, Edna, I see what roles we each would play as something your insights would tell us."
"Perhaps," Edna mused. "They may already be telling me."
Edna told Cynthia about the tastes that had told her Carol and Lucy wanted Rick's babies.
"Carol would have his babies right now, but that could be a problem if it happens too soon. Lucy wants to be married to him before she has any."
"Carol and I joked about it," Cynthia told Edna. "But nothing serious."
"That brings up another question," Cynthia continued. "How much do we tell the others? Do we let them in on our thoughts?"
"I can see pros and cons," replied Edna. "But I think the better course is to be open and honest from the start. All our actions, our decisions, should be as a group."
"I agree, we don't want to become manipulative," Cynthia agreed. "But about babies, for instance; should we bring up the subject or let them have the idea."
"Oh, I think we can bring up babies, Cynthia," said Edna. "It will be up to the individual whether they want to be a mother. Of course chance plays a big part in that decision."
"I see your point," Cynthia responded. "You know we can consider adoption too."
"That would be a possibility.
"Cynthia," Edna continued. "So far it seems we've been led by some unknown force. We really don't know our goals, for sure. But your plan seems right. We'll probably get more direction along the way."
The logical conclusion was, that if all were being led, they would get guidance as they needed it.
"I think we should get started on the plan." Cynthia, said. "But, start where? What should we do first? What about a home? Your house on the farm or somewhere different?"
"We should have Carol and Lucy join us," Cynthia said. "It would be a good time to begin a discussion."
They called Carol and Lucy and both women said they would be right over.
The two women arrived, separately, within a short time. Edna served coffee and pastries.
"I'm pretty sure everyone had a good holiday," Edna said with a smile. "But we want to discuss other things today. Cynthia and I were talking and we want to include you before we go further."
"I certainly enjoyed myself," said Carol. Lucy agreed.
"We think it might be a good time to talk about the future of our group," Edna told them. "Now that Rick can be considered fully part of it."
"The subject came up, between Edna and me," Cynthia told Carol and Lucy. "We both think it's something we should all discuss together."
"I expect to hear from Rick later," Edna said. "He always calls to let me know he arrived safely. We can let him know whatever we need to."
(Long distance calls, at the time, had to be made through an operator. There was no such thing as direct dialing. The cost was quite high too; so long distance phone calls were usually used only when they were important. Since Rick would be calling from a pay phone he would be calling collect.)
"Do either of you have any thoughts?" Edna asked Carol and Lucy. "Or, should we tell you what we've been thinking?"
Carol looked to Lucy before replying to Edna. "Let's hear your thoughts."
