(Dear fans of The Young Widow stories. I decided to take this detour from the story of the three girls for a few stories before returning to finish the week at the Caymans. For those of you unfamiliar with this series, I have written eight chapters in the "The Young Widow series. This story follows Anne's sister Lori as she returns home after having her first by-sexual experience with her sister and her babysitter Jen. I promise to go back when I have time to finish the other series. Thank you for all your nice comments and encouragement, suggestions and even critic.)

Lori watched the trees speed by the car window. She couldn't take her mind off the incredible week she just experienced with Anne and Jen. She didn't know how life would be the same or even if it could be the same. She knew that she loved Doug very much but she was also aware that something had been missing in their relationship. Now she realized that it was mostly due to her own limitations. Doug had always tried to be spontaneous and creative when it came to their love-life. It had been her own inability to loosen up and try new things that had weighed down the relationship. Now as they were driving home, she wondered if she should tell Doug what happened in the Cayman Islands. Would he understand? How would she even bring up the subject?
Doug had picked her up at her parent's house which was a couple of hours drive from where they lived. Earlier in the week he had picked up their daughter and took her to his parent's house for a few days. They would have a few days alone in which Lori had the time to broach the subject should she have the courage to do so. Suddenly the scenery became familiar. Her subdivision came into view. It will be just a few more turns before they pulled up into their own driveway.
It took very little time for them to unpack and once again become reacquainted with their home. Both were tired from the long journey. "I think I'm going to take a shower," said Lori.
She walked to the other side of her bedroom and proceeded to address. Doug looked at her and realized how much he had missed her. He could not get over how beautiful she still was. There seem to be a different glow about her that he did not remember seeing before. There was also a distance, a sense in which she was lost in her thoughts. Perhaps she was just tired from the journey, Doug thought himself. From the vantage point of their bed he could see into the shower. He watched in amazement as she showered. To him she had not aged one bit since the day he met her. In fact, to him she was more beautiful now than ever. It had been nine long days of separation. He realized that he been so busy all those days that he hadn't even thought about sex. Now just looking at her made him hard.
Doug watched her as she stepped out of the shower and began to dry her hair. Her figure was perfect. She glanced at him and smiled. Doug then got up and made his way into the shower. He took longer than usual. The warm water felt so good on his tired body. By the time he got out of shower, Lori was already in bed. She was wearing a tank top with matching boy shorts. It didn't matter what she wore as far as Doug was concerned because to him she made anything look sexy. Once he was dry he put on a pair of boxer shorts and joined her in bed.
Lori was thumbing through a new magazine. She wasn't really reading, just scanning. There seemed to be something strange going on in her mind Doug thought to himself. The last time he remembers her acting this way was just before she announced to him that she was pregnant.
"Is everything okay?" asked Doug. Lori paused and wondered if her apprehension was that noticeable. It was obvious that Doug could tell that something was askew. How in the world could she possibly put into words what she had just experienced? More importantly, how would Doug respond? All she knew was that they had never kept any secrets from each other in the past. She could not possibly keep this to herself.
"Yes, I'm okay," replied Lori. "There is something however that I need share with you and I'm not sure how you'll take it."
"Sweetie, it can't be all that bad," answered Doug who by now was very curious as to what was going on in Lori's mind.
"You might not think so after you hear it," said Lori in almost a whisper. "This week I did something that I never thought I would ever do in my life. My only hope is that it won't mess up our relationship."
Doug knew by the tone of voice that what she was about to tell him was indeed serious. He could not think of anything that could be that damaging to their marriage. But as he began to process it the first thing that came to mind was that Lori had had an affair.
"Are you having an affair?" asked Doug not knowing if they he wanted to hear the answer to that question.
"Yes," replied Lori without even hesitating. "But not like you think."
"Well now you have lost me," responded Doug still unsure about what he just heard her say. "Either you had one or you didn't. I don't think there's a middle road."
"I guess you could say that i had an affair this week but it wasn't with another man," replied Lori she stared down at her hands.
"Sweetie, you have really lost me," responded Doug. "Maybe you should start at the beginning and tell me what exactly happened this week."
Lori began from the very beginning telling Doug how she had spied on Anne and Jen. She relayed to him how seeing them make love that night made her feel and how she had struggled with what to do with the invitation to join the girls in the Cayman Islands. She relayed to Doug that once there she practically threw herself into Anne's arms. She described in vivid detail her first sexual experience with another woman, namely her sister. Then she told him how she had seduced Jen and how the three of them had this incredible week of sexual discovery and exploration.
Doug sat there in disbelief listening without interrupting her until it was obvious that she was through relaying the events of the past week. Lori looked at him for any signs that would indicate his reaction to the account she had just given him. Doug sat there in silence for a few minutes trying to process what Lori had just told him. Honestly though, the only thing that came to his mind was the vision of seeing his beautiful wife and her sister making love.
"Are you going to say anything?" Lori asked fishing for some kind of reaction from Doug.
