A note to readers:
This is a long story that unfolds chapter by chapter through the eyes of two protagonists - Mark and Elsa, and as in many of my other stories involves a growing spate of horny characters. This story could appear in a number of genres (Loving Wives, Incest, Lesbian, Fetish, and more) depending on the chapter, but the overall theme is Group, so I have applied this moniker to all chapters. Enjoy.
Chapter 102 - The New Guy. Tori's Prom Dates
Mark
Sheila sat in one of the chairs in front of my immense desk. Why someone thought I needed an 'Executive Desk' that more closely resembled the deck on an aircraft carrier was beside me. To move papers across it to someone, I had to almost throw them and hope for a tailwind.
The two of us had been going over the chart of accounts for our family finances. She normally handled all the bill paying and home financial things for me, but once in a while she'd give me an update. We were meeting about setting up a budget for the family for the coming year and I was looking at each budget line item and what we'd spent in each of the last five years. The minor issue at hand was how much cash to move into which accounts to fund the next twelve months or so. We were looking back at the past few years for each account to see the trends.
I observed, "Boy, you can sure tell when I met Elsa and Cindy, and put my life on a different track. I don't begrudge any of these expenses, but the trip to Mexico and all the things going on in St. Croix sure show up as large blips."
Sheila smiled, "And they keep escalating after that. Do you care?"
"No, I don't care a bit; quite the opposite. It's all good. Why did my restaurant bills take such a large jump?" I posed.
Sheila laughed, "Instead of eating three meals at your desk, you keep taking the entire family and any friends that are around to the French restaurant down the street or other places to eat. Each time you order expensive wine, and that usually pushes the bill for each dinner up to over a thousand. Before you started to host all of us, you ate alone a lot. Oh, you also stocked up the wine cellar both here at the condo and at The Meadows; I think that was thirty thousand about three years ago. You're due to do that again."
Melanie came in and stood in front of my immense office desk and waited for me to stop my concentration on the spreadsheet in front of me. She asked in a teasing tone, "Do we need to cut back and start paying for some of our own bills - like pay you rent for our share of the condo?"
"NO!" I said sharply as I jerked my head up to look at her. I knew she liked to tease me about my insistence to pay for everything regarding the people I loved. I had eased up a little, especially with the guys so they could save face and feel like they were contributing to the family. I scratched out a quick note to talk to Sheila more about that after Mel asked her question.
I looked at Melanie with a kinder expression, "Question?"
"Yes. Elsa called and she'd like to invite a nice man she knows to our next party. He'd fit in, so to speak." She assumed a lascivious grin and lightly passed a hand over her groin. "Elsa, Sheila, Cindy, KC, Izzy and I have all met him and fit him in too. I should say, 'Enjoyed time with him.'"
Sheila nodded enthusiastically. She apparently knew exactly who was being proposed. She said, "Matt is really nice; professional and not at all full of himself. You'd like him."
Melanie gave me a thumbnail sketch about him, "About forty, handsome, well spoken, well educated, and can fuck like a male mink but in a way that gives his partners copious quantities of orgasms. He also likes to cuddle the people he's made love to afterwards."
I shook his head, "You are ever the master of the metaphor. Of course, invite him. Is this the guy you guys met at the club a couple of years ago?"
"Yes, same man. Became single recently. His ex-wife did an ego-destroying number on him. She'd been cheating on him their entire twenty-one year marriage with her high school sweetheart; very two faced."
"Too bad. Is there an ulterior motive, besides the sex, I mean?"
Melanie twisted her mouth around as she thought for a few seconds, "Yeah, I guess we do. We were talking last night after we parted company with him and think he'd be a nice addition to the family, but it's a little early to tell for sure. Personally, I'd like him to start to hang out with us and I know Elsa does too." She looked to Sheila for verification.
Sheila nodded, "It's funny, but last night as he held us, I was thinking the same thing. He'd be easy to have around all the time - another nice husband."
I asked, "What luggage does he come with?"
"Besides needing a bit of TLC and some trust in women since he just got screwed over? He's got two kids in college, only he told me he was having DNA tests run on the kids to be sure they're his. He loves them, but plans to go after his wife's lover for arrears in financial support if it proves out that he's not the father. The kids are on his side. Apparently, he's got a real shark for a lawyer; she knows her stuff and is guiding him along."
