Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and suggestions. Several folks have asked for a sequel to "Ashley's Story." On a bit of a whim, I decided to experiment with a "confessional" kind of story.
This takes the tale in a slightly different direction, but it seemed like a fun avenue to explore.
I hope you enjoy it!

======================================
Dear Dr. Minkowski,
I am responding to your request that I write down the details of the matters I alluded to in my last therapy session.
I have to say that you were correct. By writing this, I have begun to understand myself more, and I have developed more of an appreciation of the complex relationships in our family. I am beginning to see how they have fueled some of the behaviors that I am trying to change.
You were also correct about it being much easier to write an account than to relate these events face-to-face, though I fear that is what you are going to ask me to do at some point. I am still very embarrassed to admit to these feelings and actions.
It is now clear to me that I need to reflect more on these events and my feelings about them if I am to make good decisions in the future. The following account is my attempt to take another step along that path.
I feel that I should apologize at the outset, as I'm sure there are aspects of my story that you will find offensive—perhaps shocking. You did, however as me to be completely frank and I have done my best. The language is vile at times, but it accurately reflects my state of mind.
As you know, I experienced a sexual event with my husband, daughter and daughter's friend that was both unusual and very pleasurable for me. Since we have already covered that, I will begin with the immediate aftermath.
======================================
The girls left, and my husband and I were alone in the house. After what had transpired, he was spent but I was completely ready for more—in fact I was sexually energized more than I had even been. My darling husband, seeing the state I was in, took me into the family room, laid me on the couch and proceeded to give me wonderful oral sex, recreating what he had done in the spa.
As he did this, though, my mind kept wandering back to Erica, and how delicious she had looked quivering against my daughter's mouth. I began to imagine that she was licking me and I very swiftly had a massive orgasm. My husband stopped briefly, but apparently one glance at me let him know that I needed more. He went back to work, and I continued to fantasize about Erica and Stephanie and how wonderful it would be to have a woman going down on me.
I then recalled the kisses I had shared with Erica. Immediately, my body went into a fit of spasms as I reached another powerful climax. As my husband continued, I remained focused on the kisses with Erica, now imagining Stephanie's tongue bringing me off. That image brought me to my third and final release.
As I calmed down, my husband cuddled me and we kissed, sharing our love for each other. I could see that he was now aroused again, so I took his penis in my hand—since he's a bit older, it's difficult for him to become firm enough to penetrate me for a second orgasm, so I typically give him pleasure with my hand and mouth.
As I stroked him, he asked me, "Wow, Ashley. I've never seen you come like that. What got you so worked up?" I paused only a moment before answering truthfully.
"I was thinking about Erica's body, and what it felt like to kiss her," I explained. Instantly, my husband erupted, grunting as he sent his thick semen onto my body and the sofa.
"I think that image must be arousing for both of us," I said. We both laughed.
"Yes," he agreed, "I thought it was very sexy to see you kissing Erica. You know, Ashley, if you wanted to explore that part of your sexuality I would be ok with it. It might perhaps be something we could share."
We talked a little more about that without coming to a real conclusion, except to say that if the opportunity for an affair with another woman presented itself that I should feel free to indulge.
The opportunity presented itself several weeks later.
Erica was now a frequent guest at our house and we always welcomed her sunny personality. It was odd that she and Stephanie never seemed to act like lovers when they were with us. They simply seemed to be what we had thought earlier—very good friends.
I finally determined to ask Stephanie about this. I felt that I wanted to help her clarify the situation for herself. As I reflect more deeply, however, I can see that I wanted her to clarify the situation for me as well.
"Mom," she explained, "Erica and I are basically really good friends who, er—get together every once in a while. She's mostly into girls and doesn't like guys much. I'm really more geared to sex with guys, but it's really fun to play with Erica when we're in the mood. Besides, mom, I don't have that much time for a relationship now, and guys want sex all the time. This arrangement is perfect for me while I'm in school."
I had to hand it to my daughter—she was as practical and level-headed about this as she was about most other things. There wasn't much I could argue with there. "So, honey, I take it that Erica is as happy with this arrangement as you are then?" I asked.
"Yeah, sort of I guess. I think she'd like to get more sex—or at least have sex with a woman who was like a real lesbian. I mean, like, with me I think it must be more like play time. It's hard to explain, but I think she's a little unfulfilled. But it's ok...really."
