Chapter 11 -- Clarity
-----------------------------------
What was confusing becomes so very clear
-----------------------------------
When I woke up, I was alone. Looking over I noticed it was nearly 10:00am. I had slept in but I figured I had earned it. I heard noise out the window. Getting up I peeked out the window and saw the ladies cavorting in the pool. Looked like fun. I started to get up to join them and realized my body ached all over. Guess I overdid it a bit. It took me a few minutes to stretch and work out the kinks.
I was still too curious about where the events from the night before would lead, and even how they ever came about. I took a quick leak, brushed my teeth, ran a brush through my hair, grabbed a swim suite and headed out back.
The ladies were reclining on rafts. Andrea was wearing my wife's bikini, and she was pouring out of it. A couple of sizes too small, it looked particularly nice on her.
"Morning ladies."
My wife raised her sunglasses and smiled at me. "Join us?"
"Of course." I walked into the water, and tugged my wife's raft closer. I pulled her around and gave her a kiss. "Where's the baby?"
"Lisa's. All afternoon."
"So, whatcha been up to?"
"Finding out all about my husband's cruel treatment of my friend last night."
"Cruel?" I asked, looking over at last night's victim.
Andrea giggled. "I never said cruel. Unusual, maybe."
"Guilty," I confessed. "I couldn't help myself. Look at her! You left that naked in my bed last night. Jesus, she almost killed me."
I heard giggling from the other raft again. I peeked over to see how her barely contained breasts handled the laughter. "Killed you? I may never walk normal again."
"Any plans for the afternoon?" I asked.
My wife slid into the water, and into my arms. "Andrea, want to get us some drinks? I imagine my poor hubby might be a little dehydrated this morning."
Andrea disappeared into the house, leaving me alone with my wife who'd already surprised me quite a bit this weekend.
"That was quite a surprise. Thanks?" I said, while I held her. Her legs were around my waist, and she leaned forward and gave me a kiss.
"Thanks for stepping up. She's a happy girl this morning."
"I'll step up for you anytime." I told her, massaging her ass.
"I'll bet you would. Why don't you invite Greg over?"
"Greg? Lisa's Greg? Why?"
"I kind of figured that we could use another playmate this morning, and since you're already fucking his wife, I think you owe him that much."
To say I was stunned would be an understatement. I stood open-mouthed, trying to figure out what to say.
She glared at me. "You couldn't be happy enough with Beth as a gift. You had to drag Lisa into it, didn't you?"
I squeaked, "Beth?"
"Beth?" she mocked. "Come on Alex, Beth was supposed to be a surprise. But you had to go and get Lisa involved, didn't you?"
If things weren't weird enough, Andrea came out with a tray of drinks, with that very same Beth following at her heels.
"Oh, shit," I mumbled, while my wife squeezed me with her legs.
"Mimosas?" Andrea called out, setting the tray at the pool side. Beth peeled off her shirt and kicked off her shorts, standing there in the tiniest bikini yet, looking amazingly good. Shit. I shouldn't be thinking that way.
Beth came into the water, slowly working her way towards us. When she was standing beside me, she leaned in kissed me on the cheek. "I guess the gig is up."
"And then some. Game's over." My wife snapped, letting go of me, and heading for the drinks.
"Pooh!" Beth whined. "And it was just getting fun."
"Fun? You knew the rules."
"Rules?" I asked, thoroughly confused.
Beth slid in front of me, wrapping her arms around my neck. "You didn't think it was all my idea, did you?"
I wanted to say, yeah, but I decided silence would work best.
My wife handed me a drink while Beth kissed my shoulder. "Beth and I thought you deserved a little fun, and we'd let you in on the whole thing after a few 'play dates'. But you couldn't let things well enough alone, could you?"
"Fun?" I was still shocked, and badly confused.
She leaned in and whispered to me, "Just call him, Ok?" I nodded. She wasn't done though. "And Lisa is off-limits as of now, you understand?"
"Understood." I peeled Beth off of me, as difficult as it was. "Umm, you know about Kayla, right?"
Traci rolled her eyes. "Yes, I know. We'll talk about that later."
On the way out I couldn't help myself. As I passed Andrea, who had managed to get back up on a raft, I reached out and gave her near breast a squeeze.
I wrapped a towel around my waist, and headed in to make that call.
"Greg?"
"What's up, bud?"
"How fast can you get over here?"
"Why?"
"Trust me on this one. I need you over here for a few hours. I'll make it worth your while. Can you do it?"
"Why all the mystery?"
"Hurry, Ok? I'll explain it all soon enough."
"Fine, give me a few minutes. But you better have a damn good reason."
"It's important. Trust me. See you soon."
I headed back out to the pool, to three very desirable women.
* * *
The girls were chattering away in the pool when I got out there. I jumped in and swam over to where they were bonding. I popped up next to my wife. "On his way."
"Who's on his way?" Beth asked.
"It's a surprise," Traci told her.
"So you want to tell me what this is all about?" I gave a nod toward Beth.
Traci and Beth shared a look, and then my wife pulled me closer, hugging me with her legs and arms. "It started simple enough. She and I were talking, like we do, after our trip to Hot Springs."
I remember the trip well. We put the 'hot' back in Hot Springs that weekend.
Beth interrupted. "Bragging would be more like it."
Traci stuck her tongue out at her best friend. "We were TALKING, about how infrequently we had times like that, you know? It was getting sort of getting plain vanilla at home, with a quick screw maybe once a week, if that."
"A girl should be so lucky," Beth quipped.
"ANYWAY," Traci said, glaring at her friend, "part of the conversation got around to a couple of the parties we've had, and how good the sex was afterwards. Especially when you were hanging around certain friends of mine."
"Like at pool parties, or dress up parties," Beth added, leaning against me, letting her hands wander over my body.
"Yeah. When the girls are showing skin, certain men seem to really get themselves worked up." She gave me a squeezed with her legs.
"Guilty." I admitted.
"But that same guy still behaves." Beth argued, taking my side. "I mean he might flirt a little more, or even get a little touchy-feely, but not bad. Not like some. Dickheads."
Traci sighed. "My Story?" Beth didn't look in the least bit cowed. "So I thought it might be fun to let our friend here, who God knows you've lusted over long enough, flirt with you heavily, and get you worked up, maybe add a little spice to our life."
"Yeah. But what was in it for me? Get you worked up, and go home frustrated as shit. Wait another month or two before needle-dick decides to spend a minute grunting on top of me? Shit."
Who was this girl? This wasn't the Beth I knew and lusted after so well. And once a month? Or two?
"Ok. So it wasn't 100% fair. But I wasn't about to let her fuck you. So we discussed it at length, and finally compromised. Hell, that part alone almost took us two weeks to come to an agreement. We agreed - an occasional blow-job, with week long flirting, to get you so worked up you could hardly see straight. And when you couldn't stand it any longer, for your birthday next week, we'd make your dream come true."
"And mine," Beth piped in.
"Now that didn't quite workout, did it?" Traci asked, glaring at her best friend, then turning that fierce look on me.
"Why didn't you just tell me?" I asked. "I mean, really, it's an unbelievable gift, far more than I deserve..."
"You've got that right," Traci reminded me.
"But we could have reined things in. Believe me; I would have turned the others away in a heart beat."
"You should have anyway," my wife said harshly. "Not only did you start screwing Lisa which was NO WAY part of the deal, but you just had to push the boundaries with Beth, too, didn't you?"
I was saved from answering when Greg entered the backyard through the gate. "Alright. I'm here, what's the big emergency?"
"Let me handle this," Traci said, and climbed out of the pool, heading for Greg. She sat him down at the table and started talking.
Andrea came over to me, and clung to me, "You guys are pretty crazy. I thought stuff like this just happened in books. I mean, this is better than a soap."
Beth came over and hung onto my other side, giving me a kiss on the cheek. "Don't worry. She's not really mad. Not anymore. But I think it's time for you to straighten up and fly right."
I laughed. "She brought this girl to me last night and left her naked in my bed. How am I supposed to 'fly right'?"
