Lisa answered, "Are you sure? I've never done anything like this before, I'm so embarrassed."
Mary answered, "Stick around, who knows, maybe there will be a round two, if you're up for it."
Instead, Lisa started crying. I've known a number of woman who cry after sex, and there is nothing more triggering for a man. Unless you are the most heartless jerk, you will be the super hero that tries to fix everything. She's hurting for some reason, you don't now why. But you, the super hero, will make everything all right. The truth is more like the woman has a lot going on in life, and the "release" of passionate sex often evokes a strong emotional response and stuff pours out, but you get the idea.
At this point I need to give more background for Mary and Lisa, they met in middle school. They had been close through a number of tragedies including Mary's rare ovarian cancer battle in her early 20s. With Lisa's help and friendship, Mary beat cancer, but she was left unable to have children. Lisa and Mary were inseparable. When Lisa's mom died, Mary was there for her.
A little more background, Lisa actually introduced us. Not directly, of course, but Lisa was dating Nathan, a guy I worked with, we had gone out on a few "couples" dates with Nathan where I met Lisa. I can't even remember who I was dating at the time. Susan? Maybe? Regardless of all of it, Lisa and I bonded, I liked her. Lisa and I enjoyed each other on a personal level. Nathan faded away when I switched jobs, but Lisa and I remained pretty close.
Lisa had gotten a new boyfriend and wanted to do another couples date. I had recently broken up, I'm still thinking it was Susan, and Lisa decided to play match maker. She introduced me to Mary as a blind date. She said it would be awesome if her two favorite people hit it off. I feel bad for Lisa's boyfriend that night. Mary, Lisa, and I had the best time, and Lisa's, then, boyfriend was barely present. They broke up soon after. Since then it has been the three of us, Lisa dated a series of fairly decent guys, but nothing stuck. She claimed that I ruined her for other guys, she wanted someone who loved her and treated her as I treat Mary.
Mary and I have been married for 11 years, and it has been the best 11 years of my life. I love Mary, and if I have to admit it, Lisa has been a great friend and a welcome part of my life as well.
As Lisa was crying, I pulled her close and told her we loved her. I held her closer and told her I loved her. I told her everything will be OK. I kissed her. I held her tight. I looked at my wife. She gave me the "what's going on?" look. I gave her back an "I don't know look." Mary joined and made it a group hug. Obviously this was more than just sex, there was something going on with our friend.
Lisa leaned over and passionately kissed Mary and Mary responded. She turned to me and kissed me, and said, "I love you both so much, I can't lose you."
I responded, "Why do you think you are going to lose us?"
"That's how this stuff always ends up, once you have sex you either break up or get married. You two are already married." Lisa sniffled. "That leaves me out."
Mary kissed her and said "Trust me Lisa, I love Mike, but I would drop him like a rock if it were a choice between you or him." I looked at Mary, she gave be me a reassuring look that meant it probably wasn't completely true.
She turned to me and kissed me. "You know I've been in love with you since the day we met, right? You are the only person I ever trusted with Mary." I was shocked at this. I knew she liked me, I knew we got along, but being stupid guy, I never knew. Sure, she was sexy and I had my fantasies, as any guy would, but I never knew she loved me.
Lisa continued, "I know I started this tonight with the fucking 8-Ball, and it was great, I mean, holly fuck, but what about tomorrow? How do we go back to being ourselves? I think I fucked it all up."
Before I could say anything, Mary spoke up, "The only thing I know about tomorrow is that the sun will rise and Mike and I will still be in love with you. Maybe you didn't notice this, but you've been just as big a part of our live as we have been of yours, we certainly don't want that to change."
Lisa spoke, "I've never had sex like I did tonight, how do I go back? Right now we all hugging and tender and all I want to selfishly do is fuck Mike, my best friends husband."
Mary answered, "If you and Mike want to fuck, go for it. No one is leaving anyone here."
I was shocked, to say the least. Lisa then said, "What about you? Do you know I've never even thought about being with a woman, like no fantasies, no curiosity, no nothing, until tonight, and I loved that too. I want to have sex with both of you."
