Part 16 -- Commitment
As time has moved forward, Lindsey and I have moved toward becoming a public couple. It's been easier at work as the undercurrents of discussion have spread the fact that we both have been divorced for quite a while now, and we are beginning to show up at places publicly.
We still maintained a professional appearance at work when attending project meetings, not really avoiding each other, but also not exhibiting public displays of affection, or PDAs as they are derisively called. We have achieved something of a stasis at work.
The only real exception is our lunchtime trysts, which we still keep carefully concealed as best we can. Melanie is quite aware, and she enjoys the titillation we provide as she secretly listens outside our offices when she knows we are engaging in energetic, fully charged sex behind closed doors.
The lunchtime trysts are part of a comfortable pattern we have established.
We initially started these sessions because we couldn't meet at our homes after hours due to our flagging, but still in-place marriages. Now that we were unattached, we didn't have to meet in our offices, but it was something we felt comfortable with, enjoyed, and it fed our need to have illicit sex during the week. It was almost a fetish, but we were adults and able to manage it to avoid discovery beyond Melanie, who we had invited into our relationship.
Weekends were generally planned around where our respective kids would be. We had established the schedules such that Lindsey and I could count on every other weekend being absent our kids, enabling our sexual escapades.
But they weren't really escapades as much as our normal sex life.
We included Melanie at least once a month because we enjoyed her company and physical and emotional participation.
We also had a sense that she was exploring her sexual satisfaction with other people. I knew she was trying to find a guy who was similar in emotional investment to me. Someone who treated her as an equal in bed, rather than expecting to be serviced in bed by a subservient woman. I wasn't sure, but I thought she had found, believed she had found, someone who could meet the bar that I and Lindsey had set by treating her so well and equally in our sexual encounters.
We were both sure that when the time came, Melanie would tell us openly and forthrightly.
We got what we considered solid confirmation of this one weekend.
The three of us had been vigorously fucking each other one Saturday afternoon, sharing our sweat, bodily fluids, and physicality with wild abandon.
At one point when we were all recovering from mutually exquisite orgasms, Melanie opened up to us.
"I've been seeing a guy who is very much like the two of you. Loving, sensitive, aware of my needs, and willing to sacrifice his instant happiness for mine. We've been seeing each other for a couple of months, and our physical and emotional connections are incredibly strong. I haven't shared with him that the three of us are involved, fearing I'd scare him off. What do you two think about this? How should I proceed with him and us?"
Both Lindsey and smiled broadly at this revelation.
Lindsey took the lead in the discussion for us.
"Well, first, we are incredibly happy for you and your man. As much as we love your being here with us, we knew that at some point, you'd find someone who you wanted to be exclusive with."
I added, "Yeah, what she said, and you should pursue your own happiness, wherever that takes you. If you feel you need to be exclusive to him, we have no issue with that. You're young, beautiful, and need your own emotional and physical sex life separate from us. We certainly don't want to get between you and someone you truly love and may want to, in the future, marry and start a family with. We can't give you that level of commitment, and you deserve it for yourself."
Melanie was at once happy and melancholy.
"I love you guys more than you know, but I also know that if I want a family, I have to seek that and cultivate it on my own. I don't know how I will fill the void that your absence will create. But if me and my guy are right for each other, I'm sure I'll be more than happy."
Lindsey and I were so happy for Melanie. We continued our afternoon, sucking, fucking, groping and orgasming as much as we could, knowing it would likely be the last time we'd have such an experience together. We all napped or a while, and then Melanie started to collect her clothes. I stopped her and motioned to the shower. She smiled, and motioned Lindsey to the shower as well.
We spent an hour rubbing soaping, fingering, jacking, and fucking in the shower as something of a going-away for Melanie. It was emotional, tearful, erotic, hot, and fully satisfying for all of us.
We toweled each other off, helped Melanie get dressed, and then very emotionally began the process of saying goodbye.
There were kisses, gropes, hugs, and lots of crying, but Lindsey and I knew it was the turning of a page for all of us. Melanie, Lindsey, and I would always have a strong physical and emotional bond from our time together. But we'd known from the outset that it was a matter of time until our relationships parted allowing Melanie to move down her own path to fulfillment.
It was a beautiful, but bittersweet ending to a satisfying relationship between three adults.
Time rolled on, and Lindsey, I, and our kids began to gel as a blended family. We had meals together, we planned and celebrated holidays and birthdays together. I finally won over Lindsey's son, and we were all a cohesive unit.
I began to think about the next step for us.
Lindsey and I had decided to take a long weekend vacation to Cambria, up the California coast. We found a nice bed and breakfast and just enjoyed being a couple someplace where we were anonymous. I had long been considering making our relationship more formal, but was not sure if it was the right path for us.
I decided to plan a beach barbecue for us at Moonstone Beach. I bought steaks, some corn-on-the-cob to barbecue, and a couple of bottles of very nice, expensive wine. We cooked, drank, and ate in a little cabana on the beach on a wonderful, warm evening.
After we finished our meal, I opening the second bottle of wine, which I had saved for a special occasion. I started a nice fire in the firepit and we sat back, just enjoying the whole vibe.
We were a couple, dining on the beach, enjoying a nice fire, drinking a wonderful bottle of wine.
As if on cue, Lindsey piped up, "This is so nice. What do we do for an encore?" It was a light-hearted question, posed to make us appreciate what we had with each other.
This was my opening.
I said, with all seriousness, "Well, I think I would like to marry you. Would you do me that honor?" and I flipped open a small velvet-covered box with a very large diamond engagement ring and presented it to her as I took a knee in front of her on the sand.
Lindsey stopped breathing, her eyes got big and wide and immediately filled with tears.
She gently reached for the ring and looked at it. I was worried she was going to say no, because she didn't immediately say yes.
I should have known better.
She burst into tears and full-blown sobs. I took the ring and offered to place it on her finger.
She was shaking.
I gently placed the ring on her finger and looked into her eyes, waiting for her answer.
She looked into my soul with her gorgeous blue eyes and mouthed, "Of course, yes, yes, yes!"
