“I know that,” Mary Beth said. “I love you, Johnny.”
I turned to Jay. “And we’re all very quickly falling for this young lady. She’s coming home with us tonight, I hope.”
“Assuming that you go home tonight at all, that is,” Nela said. She grinned at Mary Beth. “You and I are so going to party later,” she said.
“Why wait?” Mary Beth said. She walked to Nela and cupped a breast and an ass cheek as she kissed her deeply and for a long time. Nela finally came up for air.
“I may have met my match in sexual forwardness,” she said.
“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” I said as Mary Beth’s hands both crept under Nela’s blouse and began fondling her breasts. Nela gasped as Mary Beth lightly pinched both nipples.
“Not in front of the kitchen staff, please,” said Juana from the doorway. “They are all good Catholic boys and girls. At least I think they all are. Oh, by the way: dinner is served.”

I probably missed an excellent meal. Oh, I ate, but the food didn’t make much of an impression on me and I skipped the wine altogether. I needed a clear head. The others talked and laughed around me but my mind was occupied with how I would feel if either Dawn or Mary Beth had sex with Thomas. Or rather ‘when,’ as it now seemed inevitable.
I thought about the possibility of having sex with Tina now that the ‘Thomas barrier’ was down. I had to admit that the idea intrigued me. She was drop-dead gorgeous and she wanted me. Actually, all of Thomas’ women were gorgeous, each in their own unique way. Lucky bastard, I thought again.
And I wondered about myself. Just this morning I had been thinking how fulfilled I was and how much I missed Dawn and Mary Beth. Of how we had essentially stopped bringing other women home because we completely met each other’s’ emotional and physical needs. I had shrugged off the advances of three potential new lovers in one day because I chose to remain faithful to my girls.
But mere hours later I’d taken Jay to bed and now I was intrigued at the possibility of taking yet another new sexual partner, albeit with permission. What kind of man was I really, at the core? A committed lover or a sex-crazed hound dog? I admitted that at this point I really didn’t know. I shook my head.
Dawn leaned over from her chair on my right and whispered, “What’s wrong, Johnny? You’ve barely touched your dinner and you seem to be somewhere else.”
Honesty has served me well with Dawn and I wasn’t going to stop now. “I’m already jealous,” I said. Of both you and Mary Beth, but mostly of you. I know it’s probably going to happen and I’m trying to deal with it.”
She kissed my cheek softly, then reached over and held my hand. “If you tell me not to, I won’t,” she said quietly. “But if you tell me it’s okay, I probably will. I’m really attracted to Thomas. Horny for him, actually. It doesn’t make me love you any less. It doesn’t make me any less horny for you. And it won’t in any way make me think about leaving you. I’m yours, plain and simple, forever.” She kissed me on the lips, a light brush. “You’ve always let me sleep with other women and you know that I enjoy lesbian sex as much as I enjoy having sex with a man. Has it made you jealous to watch me with other women?”
“Not a bit,” I said truthfully. “I can’t explain it. Alpha male double standard, I guess. I’ll get past it. I’m not going to say no. I meant what I said about wanting you to be happy.”
“Would it be better or worse for you if you were there with me when it happened?”
I thought about that. “I honestly don’t know,” I said. I thought some more. “Better, maybe,” I said. “No matter what I see him do to you and no matter how much I see you enjoy it, if I’m not there I’ll imagine worse.”
“Good,” she said. “If you weren’t there with me it might feel sort of like cheating, and I never want to go behind your back. And watching you penetrate Mary Beth and other women makes me hot. I’m hoping it’ll be the same for you.”
I imagined Dawn on her hands and knees in bed, moaning and watching me as Thomas sank his cock into her lovely body and began his rhythmic pounding. My own cock started to respond.
“It’s possible,” I said.
“Is there anything else bothering you?”
I looked at her. “Yes,” I said. “A couple of things. I’m starting to question my own character. I’ve held onto this image of myself as a faithful lover and fully satisfied by my relationship with you and Mary Beth. Suddenly today, first I have sex with Jay and now I’m probably going to have sex with Tina. And I find myself looking forward to it. Not so faithful after all.”
“Oh, please,” Dawn said. “Get over it. I’ve watched you have sex with other women. I watched you with Jay today and it turned me on. You’ve watched both Mary Beth and me have sex with other women. We’ve enjoyed the sharing and after a year together we only love each other more. She looked into my eyes. “Don’t we?”
I interlaced my fingers with hers. “Yes, much more. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have you.”
“And you always will,” she said. “For as long as you want me. So, at least so far, sharing sex with others hasn’t gotten in the way of either staying together or growing our love. And you’ve got to admit that it’s been fun, right?”
“Yup,” I said. “I guess I just think I should be the kind of guy who can get enough of that kind of fun from the woman… the women he’s committed to.”
She thought a moment. “Let me ask you this,” she said. “Have you ever been attracted to other women without us knowing about it?” “Of course,” I said.
“Have you ever cheated on us behind our backs?”
“No,” I said truthfully. “I would never.”
“And do you agree that all the sex you’ve had with other women since you’ve been with us has been with our consent?”
“Yes,” I said.
