When I awoke a couple of hours later, I had a hard-on, and an empty bed. I knew that the hard-on was caused by an intense need to pee, but seeing that the bathroom door was open, with no light on in the bathroom, I had no idea why my bed was empty.
I decided to heed my bladder's cry and empty it, before I investigated the second problem. It turns out that by the time I made it back to bed, Tammy was already there.
"I'm sorry, sweetie," she told me. "I hope we didn't wake you."
"We who?" I asked. "And why would you have woke me?"
"Well," she started, "when I got back from the bathroom, I thought I heard a noise, and when I went to see what it was, I heard Lynn crying."
"Why was Lynn crying?" I asked, playing dumb.
"She was crying because she could hear us making love, and she misses the intimacy, the warmth, all that stuff."
"Well, Lynn is a beautiful woman," I told Tammy. "I'm sure that when she's ready to start dating again, she'll have no problem finding a good man."
"That's the problem," Tammy started to tell me. "She's afraid of dating again. She'd been with Mario ever since High School. She's never been with anyone else."
"You're telling me that Mario is the only man that Lynn has ever gone out with?" I asked her.
"He's the only man that she's ever been with," Tammy repeated.
"Poor girl," I said softly as I held Tammy while we lay in bed.
I hadn't expected this kind of reaction from Lynn, and I was starting to wonder if I had pushed things too far. I had anticipated sexual frustration from Lynn, but opening this emotional can of worms was something that I didn't expect.
The next morning, I woke to an empty house. The kids weren't due back until mid- afternoon, so I knew that Tammy and Lynn must have gone out to hit the early sales.
I was sitting outside, reading the Sunday papers, when the women made it back home. They were whispering and giggling like a couple of schoolgirls as they walked towards me.
"Hi honey," Tammy said as she gave me a kiss. "You were sleeping so nicely, I didn't want to wake you. We just did a little shopping."
As I kissed Tammy, I noticed that Lynn was watching us, but she had a big smile on her face. Not what I expected, considering the crying fit last night.
"Well, it looks like you girls had a good time," I told them. "I'm glad that I overslept. It gave you two some time together."
When I said that, both women giggled again, and we went into the house. I knew from some of the bags that they were carrying that they had been lingerie shopping, among other things, and Tammy would want to tease me a little with her purchases.
As Tammy and I walked into the bedroom, Lynn went to the guest room to gather her things.
"She looks like she's in a pretty good mood," I told Tammy.
"Yeah, we had a nice talk," Tammy told me. "We also kind of came up with a solution to her problem."
"What problem?" I asked.
"Her fear of starting to date again," she answered.
"OK, so what's the solution?" I asked.
"You," Tammy answered, matter-of-factly.
"Me?" I responded, not liking the way this conversation was headed.
"Yes, you," Tammy told me. "If you'll help, of course."
Now I REALLY didn't like the way this conversation was headed. I could envision some kind of feminine blackmail being employed here.
"OK, what's going on?" I demanded.
"Well, you are going to take Lynn out on a date," Tammy told me, with her bright blue eyes batting at me, "so that she can get used to being out with a man again."
"You want me to take your cousin on a date?" I asked Tammy, shocked.
"Actually, a couple of dates," she responded. "She needs to feel comfortable around men again, and she needs to know that not all men are selfish assholes."
Seeing the apprehension in my face, Tammy kissed me and whispered in my ear, "Trust me, you won't regret it."
The next week end, I took Lynn out on our first date. We went to my favorite Mexican restaurant, a place that we had taken Lynn before. I knew that she would be comfortable there, so it was a perfect place to start.
This was the first chance that Lynn and I had to actually be alone together, and I was quite pleased at the conversation. We talked about her daughter, her plans for finding work, and her hopes for the future. It was, quite honestly, a very pleasant evening. It also didn't hurt that after I dropped her off at the guest house and went back to mine, Tammy proceeded to reward me with a heart-stopping lingerie show, and followed that with one of the best blow jobs that she had ever given me, which is saying a lot.
On our second date, I took Lynn to a Mid-Eastern restaurant, knowing that she actually preferred more vegetarian dishes. This time, she dressed a little more daring, wearing a skirt that reached just above her knees, and a blouse that was unbuttoned a bit, showing a little glimpse of neck and cleavage.
After dinner, I took Lynn out for a few cocktails, and she started to relax a bit more. The club we were at had a band playing, so I took Lynn out on the floor. I did my best not to look too bad during the faster songs, and then, thankfully, the band slowed it down a bit.
I took Lynn in my arms, and we started to sway slowly to the music. Being used to having Tammy in my arms, Lynn felt a bit different. As I have said before, she is taller, and fuller in her body than Tammy.
