This was going to be our last Thanksgiving together. We had begged Bryan's two sons to please visit with their father one more time before he passes but they did not respond, much the way they would have nothing to do with their father after their mother passed away. That was some twenty-three years ago.
Laura and I moved in with Bryan to help fill that void left by his wife's passing. Bryan had truly loved his wife and she loved him with amazing devotion, so much so that when her health failed and she could no longer provide him the intimacy he craved, she set him free to enjoy the pleasures with others they once had together.
Bryan's boys, Bob and Mark, couldn't wrap their heads around our non-traditional relationship. I was a mere twenty years old when I met Bryan and we began our affair. He was already in his sixties. Laura, who rounded out our triad, was then in her late thirties. Bob and Mark had been wrapped up in the middle class American fantasy of a wife, two cars, two kids, a house and a mortgage. Life was things for them, not living.
Bryan vowed he was going to raise our son, Joshua, different. He was going to teach his son about love, intimacy and gratitude, the things he shared with his wife Jacqui but did not pass on two their two boys. He became the most wonderful father in the world. Something maybe the world wasn't ready to accept.
I got pregnant with Joshua shortly after finishing nursing school. Bryan's 'swimmers' weren't up to the task so we went to a doctor who implanted Bryan's sperm in me. Nine months later I gave birth to this wonderful healthy boy. Bryan retired shortly after Joshua was born and became a stay-at-home dad while his two mothers, Laura and I, worked.
Laura and I were both erotic dancers at a club where we first met Bryan. His support enabled me to go to nursing school and launch a career. He also helped Laura to become a para-legal and then a lawyer. She rose to the top of her field as a real estate attorney making more than enough to promise Joshua that he could go to college and pursue his dreams anywhere in the world he wanted to.
Bryan insisted that Joshua learn about sex from observing us, not from the ubiquitous internet porn that was shallow and demeaning, especially to women. So, we didn't close our bedroom door and nudity was common around the house. Joshua saw how intimately we touched and kissed.
Bryan was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. He underwent two surgeries but they were ultimately unsuccessful, the cancer spread through his body. I took a course and got certified as a hospice nurse knowing the day would come when he would pass so I wanted him to go quietly and comfortably at home with his family.
Joshua had graduated high school early with remarkable grades and decided he wanted to study mathematics at a university in Germany. He had a real passion for mathematics and felt that there were too many distractions at American universities. He was extremely handsome but he didn't show much interest in the girls, he was alright with masturbating to relieve himself and then get back to work. I called him and told him his father didn't have long. Joshua was on the next plane home.
"It's 'Thanksgiving lite'," Laura said as we sat down to an afternoon dinner. Joshua had smoked a turkey breast outside which turned out to be the only thing on the table that resembled a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
We always ate healthy and were successful in keeping ourselves in shape. Laura looked just as gorgeous today as she did twenty-three years ago. The only difference was a slight sag and softening in her breasts.
Bryan was in good spirits despite the rebuff from his sons to spend Thanksgiving with us. After dinner we lounged in the living room drinking wine.
"Is everyone ready for my surprise?" I asked.
"What surprise?" Bryan asked in response.
I took a thumb drive and put it in the port on the side of the television. The first picture in the slide show was Laura and myself, topless at the club twenty-three years ago, a picture Bryan took of us.
"Remember taking that picture of us?" I asked Bryan.
"Like it was yesterday. You two were the hottest young women I ever saw," Bryan replied.
"It probably seems like yesterday because they are just as hot today," interjected Joshua. Laura leaned over and gave Joshua a kiss.
"Thank you, Josh," she spoke softly in his ear.
The slide show kept going when I got a wonderful idea. I grabbed Laura by the hand and dragged her into our bedroom.
"I know we have some old dancing costumes in here somewhere," I told her rummaging through the closet. I found a box in the corner. "Let's give him the dance of his life," I said. Laura embraced me, I felt her warm mouth and soft lips on mine.
"You bet," she said.
We did. We turned up the music and closed the drapes to dim the light. I went behind Laura, reaching around her I cupped her large tits, directing her stiff brown nipples across Bryan's lips. He smiled in delight. I knew he couldn't get an erection anymore with all the morphine killing the pain and any sensitivity. Still, I rubbed his crotch just like the old days in the backroom at the club.
After three songs I could see the excitement had exhausted Bryan. He needed to be comfortable in our bed and rest. Laura helped me undress Bryan and we set him in the middle of the bed as usual. We slept with Bryan every night, Laura on one side and me on the other. It was time again for another pain shot which I administered. Both of us kissed him as he drifted off to sleep.
Laura and I used the guest room which was beside Joshua's room when we needed sexual relief or just time to enjoy the simple carnal pleasures of each other. We still left the door open, even with Joshua home.
"Jessica, Laura, I could see you made dad so happy," Joshua said as we sat around the kitchen table drinking more wine. We had Joshua call us by our names while he grew up. We raised him as two mothers and we didn't want to get started on the mommy one and mommy two thing. But he did call Bryan dad. They had spent so much time together. He loved his father immensely.
"I don't want him to see how sad I feel inside," I confessed.
"Me too," Laura added. "These past twenty something years have been the most wonderful in my life. Your father is a beautiful man and I am so grateful I could be a part of his life."
"Speaking of beautiful men," I said to change the subject knowing it was going to lead to tears. 'How are things going with you Josh?" I asked.
"Well, I've been working on a team that's trying to solve some of the mysteries about black holes," he said academically.
"I think Jess was alluding to your love life," Laura told him.
"There's a woman on our team, Katrina, she's from Ukraine," he started to tell us. "She's a knock out beauty like the both of you. Well, we've dated a little. Even spent a couple of nights together."
"That's wonderful," I exclaimed with glee.
"It was fun being with her," he said but I could tell there something more coming. "I just didn't feel the magic," he lamented.
"The magic? What magic were you supposed to feel?" Laura asked.
"The magic that came from your bedroom I felt growing up," he said. "The magic I felt last night when I watched both you making love to each other."
My heart sank. Laura and I looked at each other. Had our desire for him to look at sex as a normal part of life and not as depicted in phony porn somehow tainted him and his expectations?
"Listen Joshua," I started to explain. "When you were growing up we wanted you to see sex as a natural part of life. We didn't want you to see it as something shameful or even objectified as in porn."
"We were hoping you would look at sex as an expression of pleasure and love and gratitude for each other," Laura added.
"I know that. I understand," he replied. "I am very open about sex because of you. Katrina thinks I'm an amazing lover, she's said so. I just don't know what's missing."
We all looked at each other realizing that we were not going to solve anything that night. Joshua looked at his watch.
"Actually I have to go to my room. Katrina and I are video chatting in a few minutes," Joshua said getting up from the table. Laura and I sat there a minute not saying anything while Joshua made it to his room.
"I wasn't aware he actually watched us," I said to Laura.
"When we're going at it I'm all in oblivious to the world," Laura said.
"Me too," I responded.
"Do you think we should let him be in the room with us? That way he can masturbate while we're there and not just an image in his mind that becomes part of a fantasy," Laura suggested.
"That's a good idea but maybe we should let him participate if he wants to. He should feel our intimacy not just observe it close up," I told her thinking she might have come up with a solution. "Let's check on Bryan, make sure he's comfortable and get Joshua to join us in the guest room."
I nudged Bryan to wake him up so he could drink a glass of water. If he was well I would have shared the situation with Joshua with him but I didn't want him to be concerned with anything the last days of his life. Laura fluffed his pillows and he laid back down.
"We'll be back to go to bed in a little bit," I reassured Bryan.
Laura and I waited outside Joshua's room until he finished his chat with Katrina. Then we knocked and entered. Laura took the lead.
"Josh, we want you to be with us while we make love," Laura told our son. He looked a little perplexed so I leaned into him to give him a kiss.
"Please," I begged him. "Let me help you get undressed," I offered to let him know we were serious. I pulled his T-shirt over his head and stood him up. Laura took hold of his shorts and pulled them down.
"Let's go into the other room," I said taking my son by the hand. I led him to the bed and sat him down. "You have a very nice penis," I whispered in his ear. He did, very much like his father's only a bit longer and thicker.
Laura and I kissed and helped each other out of our clothes like we normally did, only we were a foot away from our son. Joshua had seen us naked many times in his life so he shouldn't have felt any embarrassment when we stood there stark naked in front of him. I noticed his cock was growing.
Laura and I got in the bed and started fondling each other. Then I got on top of her and kissed her brown skin on the way down to her boobs.
"Doesn't she have nice tits?" I asked Joshua rhetorically. I reached over and grabbed Joshua's hand and placed it on Laura's nipple. "See how hard they get," I said to our son.
"It's alright Josh," Laura said to him. "You can play, suck on them if you want. It makes me feel good."
I went down on Laura going after her pussy. Once she started moaning I glanced up to see what Joshua was doing. I saw his mouth firmly planted on Laura's tit. "She likes it if you bite then gently," I told him. I put two fingers into Laura's sopping wet pussy while my tongue flicked her clit.
