Linda's Discovery -- Ch. 03
© Lindat817
Thank you for all of the comments and well-wishes on both parts of Linda's Discovery. I had started several other stories -- some fiction, some non-fiction -- but they never really came together the way I liked. I will keep experimenting and see what develops. In the meantime, I still get e-mails and comments on the original stories and thought I would bring you all up to date over the last 10+ years. If you never read at least one of the original parts (or if it's been a long time), the following may be a little confusing. Again, there are parts of the story that are true and some that I have only fantasized about.
Let's start with a basic overview...
Mark did return to school and received his undergraduate degree followed by a law degree. We continued our relationship while he was in school. When he would come home for the weekend or summer break we lived like we were husband and wife behind the four walls of our house. He never slept in his own bedroom again. While he was in law school he got engaged. He married Teri over two years ago and she is a lovely woman. He works for a large law firm in town and they live in a nearby suburb. We see each other fairly often. Before they married, Mark told her about us and she was not only accepting of the past but told him she would understand if he wanted to continue. Consequently, he and I continued to have occasional sex with her consent but not her participation... more on that later. Professionally, I have done well over the past several years. I now have my own real estate company and several people that work for me. I have dated some nice guys over the years, but still haven't met "the one" and I am at peace with that.
From the comments and e-mails that I received, I know that many of you wondered if Annie's and my relationship progressed or if the four of us had any more nights like the one described in the previous chapter. Sorry to disappoint -- but the answer (for the most part) is no. Annie and I are still the closest of friends and we talk almost daily. Up until Mark (and later Tom) got married, the relationship between the four or us was actually very similar to two married couples that are all good friends. The four of us could enjoy a night out together but always ended up in our own beds when the evening was done. There were a few (maybe three) times that all four of us ended up in our hot tub following too much wine and beer and Annie and I had sex with our sons in front of each other again. She and I had talked about it and we agreed that it was a turn on to watch and be watched but neither she nor I wanted to possibly harm our relationship (or the relationship with our sons) by fucking the others son.
The fact that Annie and I haven't hooked up since that night is a little more complex... While my personal belief is that pretty much everyone has some part of them that is bi, she and I, for the most part, are hetero. In my younger years, my encounters with other women were driven more by curiosity and teenage hormones. The times Annie and I went down on each other were because she and I wanted to share the most intimate and taboo experience of our lives. Knowing how much it meant to the other, it felt natural to join together in that experience. Having said that, there were several times when the boys were at school that we might have a little too much wine and let the girl-talk get a little too naughty and wound-up masturbating in front of each other talking about fucking our sons. Both Annie and I will admit to our lesbian fantasies and it is not outrageous to speculate that we might hook up again someday. But for the time being our relationship is best described as "best friends".
Last summer something happened that seems to be a natural "Chapter 3" to Linda's Discovery... enjoy.
I hadn't had a vacation in over a year. It was a self-imposed exile thanks initially to concerns about COVID and, specifically, flying in an airplane during a pandemic. As I looked back, I realized that I may have been overly cautious but had allowed myself to fall into a habit of just working and going home. Mark and Teri, my son and his wife of almost three years, must have noticed it also.
I was sitting at my desk in my study at home one afternoon, looking over a real estate contract when my cell phone rang. I looked down to see Mark's name in the caller ID.
"Hi honey. What's up," I answered, putting the contract down and leaning back in my chair.
"Hi mom. Guess what. I got a call from one of my clients this morning and he offered me his beach house in St. Lucia for the first week in August, all expenses paid." Mark gushed, excitedly.
"Oh honey, that's wonderful." I responded, genuinely happy for him. "You and Teri should definitely take him up on the offer."
"That's why I am calling. We've been talking about it and I think that we are, but we want you to join us also," he said, still with a tone of excitement in his voice. "Teri said she thought you've been stressed and thought it would be nice to have you join us."
As thoughtful as this was, I hesitated.
"But you two deserve some alone time," I offered, but already picturing how nice that might feel to lay in the sun on a sandy beach. "You don't need to drag me along."
"We have already decided and won't take no for an answer," he said. I could hear Teri in the background saying something to him -- but couldn't distinguish what she was saying.
"Teri said to tell you the best part," Mark chuckled. "He also is letting us use his private plane to get there and back."
"Oh my goodness," I gasped. "I've never been on a private plane before."
"I know," Mark laughed. "Me neither. He's a really wealthy guy and I did some legal work for him that ended up saving him a lot of money. He wanted to let me use his plane and beach house as a special thank you. I cleared it with my boss and Teri just got time off from her boss. Come on mom, you have to go. It will be good for you."
"Wow. I am so proud of you honey," I gushed. "I don't see how I can say no to such an offer. I better start dieting now. I only have six weeks to get my body into swim suit shape."
My mind started to race with the things I needed to do before going on such a trip. Even though it was six weeks away, I was already getting excited.
"Okay. One last time. Are you sure you and Teri are okay with me tagging along?" I asked, hoping he would say yes.
"Teri is the one that actually suggested it," Mark said. "And I can't think of anyone else in the world that we would rather have on the trip with us than you."
I blushed. Mark and Teri were a great couple. I was lucky to have both of them in my life.
I hung up the phone and went back to work -- but my mind was already in St. Lucia and it would stay there for the next six weeks.
