This is not a stand-alone story you should read the previous chapters first to make any sense of this story. If you just want to read the sex scenes, then that's fine too. There is some sexual contact between the male characters, but it is incidental and not part of the main story. Constructive comments are always welcome.
--------------------------------------------------
I was handed a cup of tea and I sat down. "This is all a bit sudden sweetheart, when did you decide this?"
"I know, sorry. I decided I wanted to do it just before I asked her to kiss me. I suppose I already knew, but I didn't want to think about it."
"Does Trish know?"
"Yep, we talked about it yesterday."
"Was she OK with it?"
"Yes, like I said she wants me to be free to explore."
A thought occurred, "Would she want to join you and Jane?" I think I was quite hopeful the answer would be yes.
"No, she says that she has everything she wants already."
I pondered this, "Does this mean then that you don't have everything you want?"
"That's a very good question, my love," she put down her cup of tea and sat on my lap, one arm around my shoulders, "I don't think I would have gone out to look for sex with another woman, but because of what's happened already, it just seemed to be... well, I suppose it was an opportunity that just fell into our laps."
"What's happened, being me having sex with Jane?"
"Yes and the fact that she obviously wants to explore her sexuality. I find that really exciting." She studied my face. "Are you really OK with this baby?"
"Yes, I... it's just a bit unexpected. I thought I knew where we were yesterday and where we were was incredible. I guess, I wasn't expecting any more... developments."
"With you babe." She kissed me gently and stroked my hair. "I guess, we will know more when I see her tomorrow."
"I guess so."
She was studying my face again, "Are you sure you're OK with this baby?"
"Yes I am, just one thing... "
"What is it sweetheart?" A look of concern was spreading across her face.
"I think Trish is more fragile than she would want you to believe. She is hopelessly in love with you and she will only ever want the best for you, but... she told me something on Saturday that really moved me."
I could feel my wife tensing up "What was it baby, what did she say?"
I looked into her eyes, "She's hopelessly in love with you, in a way I can't understand. She told me that she felt like you are replacing a part of her that she didn't know she'd lost." My wife choked and her eyes welled up, "I think Trish will do and say all the right things because she loves you, but... not even deep down, she's vulnerable... because she loves you so very much." Two large tears rolled down her cheeks and she wiped them away quickly with the palms of her hands.
"Do you really think so? She seems so strong and in control."
"Have you noticed that when she's losing herself having sex with me or Mac she calls out to you. It's like she's checking you're still there or seeking reassurance."
"I need to go see her!" She jumped up and grabbed her car keys, "I love you baby."
"I love you too sweetheart." She had already gone. I hoped I'd done the right thing telling her.
An hour or so later and I'd heard nothing so I sent Mac a text asking if my wife was still there.
A few moments later Mac called, "Hi Mac, you OK?"
"Yes bud, I'm fine. Yes, Ella is still here, what's going on?"
I told him about our conversation and my concerns, there was a pause, "Oh man, that explains everything. Something was up with Trish after we got back, but she wouldn't say what. When Ella turned up they just looked at each other and Trish burst into tears. I've not seen them since, they've been in the lounge and I left them to it."
"OK, that's good then, I was worried I'd done the wrong thing."
"No mate, totally saved the day. Nice one!"
"Do me a favor and let me know when Ella leaves?"
"No worries, will do, thanks again."
I hung up and waited. About 40 minutes later I got a text from Mac saying that my wife was on her way home and that everything seemed to be calm and Trish seemed to be much happier. I texted him back several thumbs up and smiley faces.
When she got home she threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly, "Thank you baby, I love you so much."
"What are you thanking me for sweetheart."
"For opening my eyes. For loving me, for everything." She sat down and sighed, "You were right, Trish is fragile. We've talked and talked and talked. I had no idea that..."
"Baby?"
"Yes?"
"Just tell me, is everything OK with you and Trish."
"Yes, sweetheart, everything is OK, better than OK now, thanks to you." She paused, "Trish didn't want to get involved with Jane because she didn't want me to think she could desire someone else."
"But she was happy to let you want Jane?"
"No, she wasn't happy, she wants to share everything with me, but didn't want me to feel like she wanted someone else, but she needed to let me be free even though she didn't want to." I struggled with this a bit, but I think I grasped the meaning of what she was saying.
"OK, so, the main outcome is that you and Trish are now as one?"
"Yes, we are baby, thank you." She kissed me and meandered off to make a restorative cup of tea.
"Are you still going to meet Jane tomorrow? She will still be gagging for all the details of our foursome."
"Yes, I will. Hope I have the energy, I'm exhausted."
