Around 11 AM that Sunday morning, after a great breakfast of bacon and eggs, Deke and May bid a fond farewell to Bear. The hugs and kisses on that occasion were not perfunctory obligations of guests to hosts. They were longer and sweeter, born of deeply-felt gratitude and affection. During those moments of meaningful quiet, May was enfolded once again in the embrace of both her lovers.
Well out of sight of the house and just before turning onto the highway at the end of Bear's drive, Deke sees an appropriate place to park with a view of the river; and, wanting to talk, he stops there, puts the car in park, and turns to May. With both of her hands in his he says, "You seem very happy this morning, my darling. Did you have a good time?"
" I had a wonderful time!" May extols. "Bear was so nice and so good in bed with me - with us. I really had no idea how I would take to being with you and another man, but I felt so sexy and so desired. It felt right to let you both make love to me."
Deke smiles: " Seeing you as your primal self, giving it all up, perfectly uninhibited, taken by the passion of the moment, made me so proud of you."
"Nevertheless, dear," May begins soberly, "despite all the terrific fun and good feelings we've enjoyed, things have happened awfully fast; and there is this nagging other self of mine that wonders if it's right for us to have such close friends. You know what I mean."
"Well, May darling, the myth-makers certainly have their motivations for maintaining their views on right and wrong; but you and I recognize our own responsibilities to shape and to contribute to a better world and hold to it. For us to seek new pleasures in our sex lives, while not being a moral plus, is a matter of individual taste. We're not killing people. We are not immoral. It's our own personal business. I'm with Sir Toby Belch when he nailed the kill-joy steward Malvolio, 'Dost thou think, that because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?'
"But I do hasten to confess, dear, I'm on new ground myself. For all the great sex we've had over our three years of intimacy, this weekend was completely new to me. I have never shared my loved one with another guy in my presence.
"And," Deke continues, "in another sense there has been logic and a reasonableness in the way things have developed for us. You blessed me by sharing your secret dream of being watched. That thrilled me. Then you reported a nocturnal dream of masturbating, completely nude, reclining on a fainting couch in a museum. That so appealed to me: I called it a dance of glory in your own sexuality."
"But, Deke, that was just a dream."
"Yeah, but it was a happy dream. And after that, your sorties in social nudity while swimming became delightful for you.
"And then what a gas it was for me to have you get on a new wave-length when we knew that the motel manager and his wife were watching us Thursday night. You were so hot Friday morning when you imagined me as the manager! I think it was positively the best sex we ever had.
