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.
Every ten chapters or so I will provide a short summary at the start of that episode to bring new readers up to date (see start of Ch. 20).
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. The story is still being written, yet I intend to post a new chapter every couple of days. Enjoy.
Chapter 28 -- More Love Rings. A Completed Seduction
Mark
Our entire entourage went to dinner at another family-run authentic Mexican restaurant that was off the beaten track. Lucas and Marcia had found the place by talking to the local bodyguards they'd hired to add to the security staff that traveled with us.
I orchestrated the seating so that KC and Brita were sitting next to me, and so that Margo was across the table from me. Since I often sat the table, no one thought much about it. The others were spread out on both sides and ends of a long table. Elsa and Cindy sat nearby. Dinner was family style. No one ordered. The owners of the place just kept bringing us out delicious tapas after tapas, and entrΓ©e after entrΓ©e,.
As we finished I stood and walked up and down the table shaking hands with the men and kissing my 'wives' and female friends. When I got back to my seat, I remained standing so that I had everyone's attention.
"I stand before you a changed man from a year ago. I had one myopic focus up until then -- my business. You may be surprised that my focus wasn't about making money -- that turned out to be a by-product of what I wanted to do in business. I wanted to transform how business was being done in sector after sector, and most of all I wanted to please customers with products and services they were willing to pay a premium for. I guess I've been somewhat successful."
There was a rift of laughter around the table at my understatement and some mild applause. I hadn't meant the sarcasm, but realized what I'd said could be interpreted that way. After a pause, I went on.
"But not quite a year ago, I met Elsa. My life changed in the span of a few minutes of idle chat at a party Andy, Margo, and Sheila took me to. You see, I had a huge hole in my life and I didn't know it. When I realized it, I discovered I was willing to pay a premium to fill it, but that sounds too callous and economic. I fell in love and there was nothing I could do to change that. The premium I willingly paid was to give up the myopic focus I'd had on business.
"Elsa broke the paradigm I had about how I spent my time, and then about how I loved other people. I wanted to spend all my time with her and then Cindy and you others. Further, I fell in love with an increasing number of women. I'd been raised to fall in love with ONE woman, but that turned out to be an outmoded relationship model -- at least for me and most of you.
"Elsa brought Cindy into our loving relationship. Melanie and Sheila followed soon after. We interacted with other women and men who I have great affection for. Margo, I do not mean to shortchange you, but I want you and Andy to be a happy couple. And, as you all know, we have partied with others and enjoyed their pleasures as well.
"Anyway, I stand before you today to tell you that I have fallen in love with yet two other women -- KC and Brita. That's no surprise to any of you, I suspect."
I glanced beside me. KC's mouth was agape in disbelief. Brita had a smile a mile wide.
I knelt beside KC's chair. "KC, I love you. I hope you feel the same way about me, and I believe you do. Elsa, Cindy, Melanie, and Sheila feel the same way about you." She nodded enthusiastically. "We want to be tied to you in some way, so we commit our love to you. You don't have to do anything other than receive and bask in what we offer. We do this not to restrict your life or actions, but to expand them in directions you perhaps haven't thought about. Please accept this ring as a symbol of the love and caring we have for you in mind, body, and spirit."
I pulled KC's ring from my left pocket and took KC's hand. I put the ring on her trembling ring finger, and leaned in to kiss her. She was crying and trying to speak. The initial tears turned to sobs of joy.
KC finally squeaked out, "Oh, Mark ... and everyone, I love you all so much. Thank you. This is a dream. It's been a dream since we met. I give myself to you -- to you all. I am so glad to join your family. I love all of you. This is so unexpected." She would have said more but her emotions overtook her again and she sobbed in joy.
I turned to Brita and remained kneeling.
"Brita, we have a special connection. We both knew it instantly when we met -- even before we met. We knew something wonderful was going to happen before we saw each other, and it didn't have anything to do with business; it had to do with love -- the deep spiritual kind.
"We have talked about how we love each other in other places in the time-space continuum. I do believe we come from the same loving soul group, as we all do. We are playing out something special in this place and time. If our purpose here is to grow and evolve, I think we have found some unique ways to do this.
"I love Brita and my other lovers agree. We find that we all feel that same connection with you. Because of this, we offer you this ring. It is a symbol of love and connection with us. It is not meant to limit or constrict, and we know you live afar, but the ring will hopefully remind you of the deep love the others and I have for you, especially when we are apart."
Brita gave me her hand and I slid the ring on her ring finger. It fit perfectly. We kissed to cement the ceremony and symbolism of the event. I noticed that Brita too had tears in her eyes -- tears of joy. She reached past me and squeezed hands with KC who'd been watching us with a river of tears down her cheeks.
I sauntered around the table and stood beside Margo who suddenly looked panicked about what I intended to do. I knelt next to her and winked down the table at Andy; he was smiling at me although he hadn't a clue what I was about to do.
