And Then There Were Three (8 page)

“Nicole, are you okay?” Worry raised his
voice a few octaves higher than normal. Nicole shook her head in
the affirmative extending her free hand to Mark. He hesitated to
take it looking first to me and then to Sabrina. Sabrina gave a
hearty nod that it was acceptable to take the proffered hand. When
I added my own comforting smile he moved to the free side of her
bed. Mark placed a soft kiss on Nicole’s forehead before taking her
hand.

“We have been talking dad and I can see that
you really love Nicole. I can also see that she really loves both
of you too. I am okay with this,” Sabrina added.

“Brina, you do not have to say that because
of this situation. Your mom and I understand how weird this has to
be for you. You, Junior, and Celeste are the most important people
in our life,” Mark explained as I had previously.

“Dad, I know this and I know that you and mom
have a strong marriage. It’s okay really.” Sabrina got out of the
chair heading straight for my purse. Without asking she reached
inside to retrieve my wallet. “Can I have money to go to the
vending machine, I am starving?” I extracted a few bills, which she
kindly took and left the room. Mark and I exchanged glances before
we plied Nicole with simultaneous kisses.

“We have missed you so much,” Mark whispered
softly.

“I have missed you both,” Nicole replied,
huge smile plastered to her face. Nicole placed her hand on my
cheek before doing the same to Mark’s cheek.

“Please do not ever let it get this bad
Nicole,” I begged.

“This wasn’t a cry for help. I am sorry. I
really just didn’t think about eating. I thought I was doing just
fine especially since the crying had finally stopped.”

I pushed the stray brown hair from her face
pinning it behind her ear. Even sick she was still very beautiful.
I would never get over this woman. I knew that in my heart and
judging by the look on my husband’s face he felt the exact same
way.

Nicole was released from the hospital the
next day with orders to take it easy for the next few days. Mark
and I were vigilant in our care of her taking turns to sit with
her. Sabrina volunteered to stay with Nicole to make sure that she
was well enough. It also gave her extra practice time for her
solo.

“Can I ask you something Nicole?” Sabrina
asked while they sat eating dinner.

“Sure Sabrina, ask away,” Nicole, responded.
It took Sabrina a few minutes to muster the courage to ask her
questions.

“Have you always liked women? And do you
really love my dad or are you just pretending so that you can be
with my mom?”

Nicole took a few minutes to process this set
of questions. When she spoke she made sure that her voice was
strong to convey exactly how she felt. “I have always known that I
like both men and women. I find men and women attractive. I love
your dad very much. He is a very handsome and sensitive guy. I love
the way he loves your mother. They are beautiful people and I am
not just talking about looks, although they have that in abundance
as well.” Nicole took a spoonful of her soup in anticipation of the
next onslaught of questions. Sabrina took more time to ponder her
response and formulate her next set of questions. Nicole could see
the curiosity was in full force.

“Have you had many relationships with other
couples?”

“No I have never been in a relationship with
a couple before. Your parents are very special to me Sabrina and I
will not come between them. I love them both equally and I know
this doesn’t seem normal but I can’t help how I feel.”

Sabrina seemed satisfied with this answer and
went back to eating her soup. Nicole gave a silent prayer to the
question gods and resumed eating her dinner. The rest of the
evening went on with out another round of twenty-one questions.
Later in the car Sabrina brought up her discussion with Nicole.

“Did you know that Nicole has always known
she was bisexual?” Sabrina said nonchalantly. I gave a slight cough
as this caught me off guard.

“Yes she did tell me that she has always
known that. You know that I have never been with a woman before?”
Sabrina gave a nod of her head, “I know mom. I was just curious if
Nicole only dated couples but she has never done that before. She
really loves you guys.”

“We love her too. This isn’t just about sex
or trying to keep our marriage together Sabrina. We really have
taken the time to get to know her. She is an amazing person.” I
wasn’t trying to sell my daughter on this situation. I just wanted
her to know that this wasn’t some fad or passing fancy.

“Mom, you and dad have been married for a
billion years. I know that you have a good relationship. It’s just
I never pictured dad with another woman or you for that matter. The
good thing is I see that you all love each other.”

I reached my hand out to my daughter grateful
for her understanding.

“You can ask all the questions you want
regarding this Sabrina. I am really grateful that you are being so
mature about this situation. If dad and I could have found a way
around this we would have.”

“Nicole is great. It would be hard to just
ignore her,” Sabrina assured me. The recital took place the
following day and a slightly recovered Nicole was there to guide
the student performances. Mark and I sat in the audience beaming
with pride as our daughter and the other dancers wowed the
audience. We had to contain our jealousy as father after father
flirted with Nicole. Several fathers brought her flowers and plied
her with accolades, much to the chagrin of the mothers. Mark and I
happily stole Nicole away to the small dressing room for much
needed kisses. She was still weak but the kisses improved her
countenance.

*****

Once Nicole was fully recovered we resumed
our dating. Several times a week my husband or I would go out with
Nicole. Mark Jr. and Celeste were still in the dark about our
dealings with Nicole. Sabrina was very good at keeping our secret.
We planned to tell Celeste and Mark Junior soon because it was
getting much more serious. That increased exponentially after we
had our first legitimate sexual encounter. I had never been with a
woman before and will probably never be with another woman again.
That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the experience immensely but no
other woman would ever do for me but Nicole.

Nicole’s bedroom was done in tasteful blues
with pictures highlighting her love of all things dance. The three
of us had a lovely evening dining out while the kids were spending
a weekend with Mark’s parents. Nicole looked especially beautiful
in a black slip dress. As soon as we entered her bedroom she tugged
excitedly at the material of my silk blouse and skirt. Mark took
the only seat in the room at a vanity mirror.

What was to take place between Nicole and
myself was in deed sex. Not just sex but we were about to make
love. Having Mark in the room gave me a sense of safety and
clearance to freely express myself with this woman. I will do my
best to recant something so personal to me in these next few pages.
It's not meant to be the voyeuristic prose with which I write my
love stories. No this is different. This is a glimpse into a very
personal experience. I want so badly to convey and convince you the
reader that this wasn't a passing fancy. No I am in love with this
woman and in no way does that love undercut the love I have for my
husband. I can't stress how much I want you to gather from these
pages that my marriage was in no danger of falling apart nor were
we trying some kinky couples stuff to get out of some perceived
sexual rut. No, this beautifully tanned creature before me was the
real deal. I had fallen in love with a woman and even as I type
these words I am still in a state of disbelief.

Nicole took a more aggressive lead, which was
to be expected given her previous experience with women in the
past. I allowed her to lead me to the bed. We didn't immediately
get in the bed instead we took our time slowly undressing one
another. It was a sensual show for my husband as I heard his breath
hitch a few times. With tenderness I slipped the dress over her
head careful of the long flowing brown locks flowing down her back.
Nicole's nimble fingers undid the buttons on my blouse. Every time
a button slipped open I felt the temperature of my body rise. When
she let the shirt drop to the floor she placed soft kisses on my
shoulder. I groaned as her lips made their way to my neck. My hand
instinctively began to massage her breasts still nestled in a lace
pink bra. Touching another woman's breasts in this very intimate
fashion was the most erotic thing I had done to date. Now I was
poised to go much further.

What I hadn't anticipated was the level of
arousal I would feel. My body responded as if she were my husband.
I was ready to snatch her underclothes off with a renewed fervor
but I let her continue to lead me. Nicole slipped my bra straps
down one at a time before undoing the clasps. Once my breasts were
fully exposed with her eyes locked on me she cupped each breast
allowing her fingers to rub gingerly over my nipples. I cried out
just as I heard the zipper on Mark's slacks come down. The thought
of him touching himself as he watched dampened my panties. I was
beyond ready to have this woman do whatever she was going to do. I
reached behind me unzipping my skirt letting it drop to the floor.
Nicole unsnapped the front clasp on her bra releasing her perky
breasts. I bent my head immediately to take a nipple into my mouth.
I am not quite sure were this came from but it was what I wanted to
do. Her hands sought purchase in my hair as I continued to gently
suck first one then the other nipple.  I loved the sound of
her voice moaning so close to my ear. My hand encircled her waist
as I continued to nibble at her breasts.

We both stood in barely there panties taking
each other in before we lay together on the bed. I appreciated the
softness if her skin and the tautness of her dancers abs. I
couldn't fathom this creature wanted to make love to me. I thought
you got lucky once, which I had with my husband. Now this woman was
looking at me with lust filled eyes and I gladly returned her gaze.
 Nicole ran a hand down my face cupping both my cheeks in her
hands as she kissed me tenderly. Our breasts touched, casually
brushing across each other generating what I can only describe as
the most pleasant lightening experience ever on record. The feel of
those sparks would later pale in comparison to what we would
generate in a very short time.

After reading my rough draft of this
particular section, Nicole wanted to add something from her
perspective. So here is what she was thinking during this time.

I have been with other women in the past but
never like this. Eva is giving her side of what happened, which
given this is her novel is appropriate. However she is selling
herself a little short on the description. So I will do that for
you the reader. When we had our intense stared down I couldn't
believe that this lovely creature that stood before me not only
wanted me but also wanted me even though she had this amazing
husband. The fact they both wanted me is a level of love and
excitement that I can't convey in words.
We were the antithesis of one another.  Where I was, too me,
small breasted she made up with ample succulent breasts, that drive
me crazy in case you were wondering. The contrasting color of her
darker colored nipples with the brownness of her skin was
breathtaking. I have been a dancer most of my life so I do not have
the voluptuous curves she possesses. I am talking about something
to really hold on to in the heat of the moment. I enjoyed holding
her hips in my hands feeling our pelvises touch on this our first
sexual encounter.

Given how much I danced I was almost all
muscle in certain areas but Eva was the perfect combination of
muscle and soft delectable skin. I enjoyed spending copious amounts
of time exploring these wonderful areas with my mouth and hands.
Every opportunity since I first kissed this woman I love running my
fingers through her long black hair. The soft texture, for me was a
precursor for my adventures a little further south. I want you to
understand that she has written a great deal of detail about my
perceived beauty, it pales in comparison to Eva. I was about to
make love to the total package, brains, beauty, and dripping
sexiness. Whew! I'm going to turn the story back to Eva. Is it hot
in here now?

By the time we actually made it on the bed we
were both completely naked. Mark quietly moved his seat closer to
the bed but remained a neutral party. Nicole was on top of me
kissing my mouth as our bodies collided against each other.
Eventually her hand drifted south and I nearly screamed as she
explored me as only my husband had the last eighteen years.
 Expertly she moved her fingers around me and inside me. My
body quivered with each new sensation. Two thoughts occurred to me,
even though she was for sure giving me the business.  One,
what must my husband be thinking? Two, is this what I am supposed
to reciprocate? I peeled my eyes open to catch a glimpse of my
husband. My husband was slowly stroking himself but oddly enough
his eyes were locked on me, not what Nicole was doing to me. I
would later learn that watching my ever changing facial expressions
was driving I'm crazy.

Nicole took the kissing a step further as she
traveled the length of my body. I was ready to detonate at any
given moment, however I was waiting for what I am not sure. I was
definitely waiting and then it happened. I felt her warm tongue
touch my most intimate of spots. I recoiled instantly but she was
surprisingly strong as she forced my legs open. It was all down
hill for me from there. I didn’t need any further directions on how
to please my woman. Nicole brought me to a most fantastic orgasm. I
gripped the sheets tightly as I let go. As I think about it right
now, you would never know I had never been with a woman. I allowed
my tongue to run the length of her body before giving her no-no
special place a cursory inspection. I went for it and the sound of
Nicole’s keening was enough to spurn this novice into action. The
sweet juices emanating from her center was what I craved since the
first day that I met this enchanting woman. I could hear Mark’s
voice directing me with a stammer. He was so into this and as
Nicole found her release we decided it was time for him to join
us.
