That's why I asked Jan and the others if they minded coming over! Asmuch as I like to make love with you – at least, when I'm not pregnantwith YOUR baby! – I know that you like to make love with ME, too; andI just don't see any reason that you shouldn't be able to make love withsomeone, even if it's not ME!' Kelly was getting visibly agitated, if not outright angry.
'Kelly, what is our love and relationship all about, then, if youfeel like you have to ask our friends and lovers to come into our homeand 'take care' of me, even though I didn't do or say anything toindicate I was unhappy about that part of our marriage?' I was startingto get a little testy, myself, by that time.
Kelly was clearly enraged when she replied 'Well, I guess it'scertainly not about appreciating it when one of us tries todo something for the other one!' before she roughly brushed herway around me and headed for our bedroom. A moment later, I heard thedoor slam, leaving me wondering what the hell had just happened. Kellyand I had had disagreements before, but had always been ableto resolve them calmly and amicably. Unless I missed my guess, we'd justhad our first 'fight', and I didn't like it – not even a little bit.
Still, I wasn't about to follow her into the bedroom and try to find out what the hell was going on – not so much from pride, but from a reluctance to take the chance of further aggravating the situation. Instead, I turned and headed for the den, where I turned the TV on before sitting down and not watching it as I thought about what had just happened betweenthe two of us.
I was still sitting there when Mabel let me know that someone was atthe door; the video camera showed that it was Candice. I quickly gotup and went to let her in; when she came in and looked around for Kelly, I explained to her about the confrontation between us, and what had happened.
She looked at me in surprise, and said 'An argument? You and Kellyactually argued? I can't believe it!', then a moment later, added 'Still, I guess it's not all THAT much more of a surpriseat having her ask us to come over and sleep with you. I know how muchshe loves you, and I never thought I'd hear her ASK us to come over just to make sure you were getting enough sex!'
'Then I guess you can figure out how surprised
Candice looked at me and gave me a small smile before saying 'I'dbetter go in there and find out what's going on – this isn't like her atall!'
I nodded, and Candice headed down the hallway toward the bedroom; Iheard her knock, a brief discussion, then the door open and close asshe went in to talk to Kelly. With nothing else to do, I went back tosit down and not watch the TV.
It was maybe a half hour later when I heard the bedroom door open; thenI saw Kelly and Candice coming into the den. Candice looked calm, but Kelly was a wreck: I could see that she'd been crying (something thathurt me deeply, just to see). I stood up and went over to take her inmy arms, and when I did, she wrapped her arms around me as she started crying again. A little baffled, I looked over at Candice, who just indicated that Kelly would take care of it.
After she'd calmed down again, Kelly stepped back and told me 'Wehave to talk, Dan. Well, actually, I have to talk. If you're not too mad at me, I want to sit next to you on the couch.'
'Kelly, I will never be mad at you. I'd be delighted to have younext to me on the couch' I answered, before leading the way. Once seated, Kelly snuggled into my side and pulled my arm around her before tucking her head into my shoulder. I listened carefully as she told me 'Dan, I'm really, really sorry. I asked Candice and the others tocome over here to make love with you, and I not only didn't have to do that, I shouldn't have done it. And when you tried to tell me that you love me whether we make love or not, I got mad at youand said things to hurt you. I'm sorry, and I hope you can forgive me.'
I answered 'Kelly, there's nothing to be sorry about. If – if, mind you! – you made a mistake, you made it because you love me. I can'tbe upset with you about that. I didn't understand it, and I probablydidn't express myself properly, and we started misunderstanding each other. So I'm probably as responsible as you are.'
Kelly looked up at me and said 'You're a dear, trying to take the blame like that – but you don't have to. Tell him, Candice.'
I looked over at her, and Candice told me 'When I got in there, she already knew that you hadn't done anything wrong. She was crying because she couldn't figure out why she started it by asking all of usto come over here. I couldn't figure it out, either – so we finally called her obstetrician. We didn't tell her exactly what the problem was, but she told us that it was almost certainly because of all the hormones and everything changing around because of Kelly's pregnancy.
She said that it was pretty common for women to do things that they ordinarily wouldn't. She also told us that this probably isn't going to be the onlyway she reacts; almost anything can cause her to have almost any kindof inappropriate reaction – it depends on what hormone and chemicals are in her system at the time. She did say that the worst ofit should be over in a few more weeks – but that it would probably continueall the way through the pregnancy, just not as bad.'
Understanding what had happened, I put my hand under Kelly's chin andtilted her head up so I could look into her eyes and tell her 'Soit wasn't anything you had any control over. So there's no reason forme to be upset or angry with you, and no reason for you to feel bad – you didn't have any more control over it than you do your heart beating.
Now, both of us know that things like this are going to happen, and wecan try to be ready for them. I think it'll be harder on you than mebecause at least*I* don't have all those hormones andthings sloshing around, and you do.'
Kelly looked into my face, and started crying before she put her armsaround me and gave me a fierce hug. When she released me, I told her 'Ifour baby is this much trouble now, can you imagine what we're in forwhen he or she is actually born?' – and after a second, got a big smile from Kelly as she shook her head and answered 'Ifhe – or she – comes out anything like you, we'll be fine.' beforepulling my head down to give me a kiss.
Across from us, Candice sighed and said 'I know how much you loveme, Dan – and when I see how you are with Kelly, it just makes me realizehow much more you love her.'
Kelly turned to look at her and said 'Sometimes, I forget how muchhe loves me. Then he goes and says something like that, and I rememberhow lucky I am all over again.' A few moments later, she added 'I'msorry if I hurt you or made you embarrassed by asking you to come overhere like that. If you don't want to stay here, for whatever reason, please don't think that you have to. And I'm going to tell the othersthe same thing.'
Candice laughed and said 'Do you really think that I would havepassed on a chance to stay with the two of you? As much as I love bothof you? Of course I'm going to stay! And I'll be more than happy to make love with Dan, if he wants – and you, too, Kelly, because I want to!'
Kelly pulled my arm from around her, and went over to Candice, whereshe leaned over and kissed our friend and lover. It took only a few momentsbefore each had a hand on one of the other's breasts as they engagedin what was obviously a deep and mutually loving kiss. When they finallycame up for air, Kelly turned to look at me and say 'Dan, I thinkwe should show her just how much we've missed her since the last timeshe was here.'
I smiled and said 'I think you're right' before getting upand giving Candice a kiss of my own. When our lips parted, Kelly tookone of Candice's hands and I took the other, and together we walked withher back to our bedroom.
Inside, two of us took turns undressing the third until all of us werenaked. Holding hands, we walked over to the bed and laid down, with Kellyand I bracketing Candice.
As I always did after not seeing her for a while, I couldn't help butmarvel at Candice's beauty.
She had changed the style of her platinum blonde hair; she was wearingit in a French braid. Her beautiful gray eyes were still enough to breakany man's heart; her lips were full, pink, and moist. She had a pairof half-grapefruit sized breasts capped with dark pink nipples that wereroughly the size of half-dollars; each peaked with nipples the diameterof a large Crayon and perhaps half an inch long when erect – as theywere then. Lower down, she had a smooth, flat belly that flowed intoa pair of trim, strong legs. Between, her pubic area was the same coloras the hair on her head, longish and wispy.
As Candice and I began to kiss, Kelly started kissing Candice's body-starting with her breasts, and slowly working her way lower and lower.
As Kelly got closer to Candice's mons, our lover opened her thighs, spreadingthem to make room for Kelly. When Kelly's head finally dipped betweenCandice's thighs, I heard Candice release a moan of pleasure and arousal.
