Chapter 5 The next day I went to Sally and asked if it would be ok if we went to the lake on Sunday. Sally said sure but had hoped we could do something on both days. I told her I had promised to bring my boys to the park on Saturday. Sally asked if Pat was going. I said yes. Sally said "Ok, sure, no problem. I'll see you at lunch." I had sensed the tension in that conversation and tried to convince myself that maybe it was just my tension but really didn't believe it. This was proven when my lunchtime show was as subdued as Tuesday's. It didn't take a rocket scientist to see the correlation. Clearly the subject of Pat was going to be an ongoing sore point. I hadn't really expected otherwise but had hoped that maybe by some miracle everything would be easily compartmentalized and I could enjoy two lives. Stupid I know but that's what happens when you think between your legs. On Saturday we all headed to the park. Everything was the same except Pat. The boys were excitedly yakking away enjoying the adventure and I was glad to be out in the open air. Pat, rather than, simply passively going along like last time was enthusiastically helping prepare everything, load the Jeep, sing along with the boys, and seemed genuinely excited about going. She kept asking me if I thought we'd be able to get the same spot. I was beginning to think that she was thinking of a repeat of last week and I was getting concerned that I wouldn't be able to deliver. Last week something happened to make me feel super-human. I'm not sure I can get the same trigger this week. Man I hope I don't disppoint her. We got to the park and Pat actually yelled "Yippee!" when we saw that 'our spot' was available. Clearly she had something on her mind. We had a great lunch and were about halfway through the bottle of wine when the boys finished and headed to the stream. Pat cleaned up a bit, refilled our glasses and took a big gulp. She had been fidgeting all through lunch. She said nothing was the matter but she had all kinds of nervous energy. I decided I'd calm her down (at least stop her from moving around) by giving her a hug. I was leaning against the table and pulled Pat to me and hugged her. I felt the jitters running through her but as I rubbed her back (including her ass) she calmed down and seemed to sink into me. Finally Pat looked up at me and said "Um, Jack?" "Yes my love?" "Well, I've, umm, been doing some, uh, reading and I would like to try something new but I'm really nervous." "Something new? I'm guessing you don't mean a new recipe?" I teased trying to ease the tension. "Oh no Jack. Unless it's a recipe for happiness." this caught my attention. "Um, I think you're going to like it but I don't know if I will and I'm afraid I might not do it right or I'll have to stop and you'll be really disappointed." "Pat. This week has been one of the most wondeful weeks in our lives together and it happened because we did something new. It was a powerful mixture of heavenly excitement, pain, and fumbling but we both reached new heights. If you want to try something new - it doesn't matter what it is. I'll go along and if it doesn't work out I'll appreciate that you tried. I love you more than ever. You can't disappoint me now." "That makes me feel better Jack but I really am scared." "What is it Pat." "Oh God. I'm having a tough time saying words that don't sound too clinical or too vulgar. I can't find a middle ground." "Um, give me a hint. I've got a good imagination." "Well, um, you know how you, um, 'took' care of me when I was wearing Jane's nightie?" "Sure! Do you want me to do that again?" I said excitedly. "No. Well, yes I do but not today. That isn't what I mean. I want to do the same thing for you." Pat said it. She put it out on the table and I was my turn to pick it up. If you asked me last week what would be the very last thing I would ever get from my wife sexually I would have guessed this and here it is. "Oh Pat! I would LOVE you to do that. Were you nervous I wouldn't like it or I would think bad thoughts about you?" "Well, I am nervous about you thinking bad thoughts about me. I have no doubt that you would like it." she smiled and then continued "I'm nervous about not liking it and not being able to stop you. You were so powerful last week - and God help me I loved it - but I don't think I could handle that if, you know, I started that and you were forceful like that." I hugged Pat. "I love you Pat. I understand. I'm glad you said something because I could imagine getting out of control in that situation and how you might feel. I promise I will be as passive as I can. If I start to get too carried away you have my permission to punch me in the balls. That should stop me in my 'tracks'." "Geez Jack. I couldn't do that! Well, maybe I could if I felt it was the only way to stop you. Please let's not let it get to that. Deal?" I was getting a hard on just thinking about this. "DEAL! Give me a kiss you wonderfully sexy thang you! What to you want me to do?" Pat nervously looked down to the boys and saw they appeared to be occupied for a long time. She took another gulp from her wine and said "I guess where you are is fine. You can watch for the boys while I, you know, take care of things." YEAH RIGHT! I'm really going to watch the boys while Pat is sucking my cock! "Yeah sure Pat." "Do you want to unzip your zipper?" Pat said as if she had never seen my cock before. Come to think of it, she may have seen my cock but did she ever 'see' my cock? You know, up close and personal? Or did she just see me naked as I walked out of the bathroom or when we had had our traditional foreplay of I touch her while she touches me? Unzip my zipper? No way! This boy's getting NAKED! "Umm, no, Pat, I think it will be better if I pull my pants down." With that I unzipped and dropped my pants and shorts faster than you could say "Peter's pipe was pecked!" Pat knelt down and was, for the first time, looking eye to eye with my cock. I watched wondering how long before she gets grossed out. Pat gently took my cock in her hand and said "Umm, the book talked about lots of different things and I'm not sure what I'm able to do. Maybe I'll just be able to do a little today and work up to something more exciting - ok?" More exciting! Christ you've got my cock in your hand and you're about to put in your mouth what more exciting do I need! "Umm, sure Pat, whatever feels good for you will be fine." I answered trying not to sound impatient. Pat carefully stuck out her tongue and slowly moved toward my cockhead. When they touched I jumped! "Oh God, Did I hurt you?" "No Pat, that was startling but in a great way! Please don't stop!" She moved forward again and I tried to keep still as the jolts ran through me. She took her tongue into her mouth and I could see she was tasting. Oh oh, here it comes. Gross out. Instead she stuck her tongue and licked my cockhead to try more. She tasted again. I'm sweating! I saw her purse her lips and take the cockhead in her mouth and I felt it brush against her teeth. Oh GOD! She sucked on it and pulled it out and tasted it some more. It was excruciatingly wonderful! I saw her tongue come out again and she licked from the base of my cock to its tip. I leaned back against the table to steady myself and to relieve the weight on my legs. The tension in my legs was tremendous and now it all released and zoomed to my cock as Pat continued her licking. She licked my balls and I gasped. Man oh man. I could never imagine the sensation as electric shocks ran through me! Pat was now moving back up to the tip and stroked my cock with her hand and sucked on the tip as if she was milking the precum into her mouth. I heard a murmur "mmm". JESUS! I won't be able to take too much of this. Another stroke, suck, and murmur. Then I felt this euphoric feeling of warm, moist, firmness surround my cock as Pat took my cock into her mouth. I heard her gag as I felt my cock run into the back of her throat. God I wanted to jam my cock home but, with my hands shaking and gripping the table top, I restrained myself. Pat worked her head back and forth each time testing to see if she would gag and each time did. I heard her panting through her nose as I was enjoying the sensations of her tongue swirling around my cock. I heard her take a deep breath, felt a strange feeling as if she was swallowing, and then felt her take my cock into her mouth. Her nose ran into my belly as she took all of me deep into her throat. "OH GOD PAT. I CAN'T LAST. THIS IS TOO FUCKING GOOD! PULL OFF! I CAN'T CONTROL IT ANY MORE PLEASE!" I was trying to hold back but, rather than pulling off, Pat accelerated her head movement and gripped my cock tighter with her mouth and tongue. "OH GOD PAT, I'M SORRY! I CAN'T HOLD IT! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST AYYYYYEH!" as I exploded into Pat's mouth. I felt so bad and felt so wonderful at the same time and expected Pat to spit me out while I continued to flood her with cum. She continued her grip and kept sucking and milking my cock. I was super sensitive now and each twirl of her tongue on my cockhead made me violently twitch forward. I could hear Pat panting through her nose but still she didn't let go. I now felt her swallowing (I was too full and swollen before) and could feel her mouth and tongue cleaning me. I was doubled over panting as Pat finally let go. She wiped her lips with the back of her hand and looked up at me. "I I I'm s s sorry P Pat." I gasped. "I c c couldn't h help it." Pat smiled that sweet wonderful smile that I married and said "I hope you liked that cause I sure did! You're going to have to get rid of me if you don't like it..." with that she looked back at my cock and sucked it back into her mouth for one last slurp and I almost passed out! I leaned back and then laid down on the table. I knocked over some of the things I landed on but didn't care. I was spent! I was lying there with my now deflated cock poking into the air trying to catch my breath and rest my legs. Pat stood up, came over the side of the table and kissed me. She just gave me a peck but I pulled her back to me. I sensed that she didn't want to open her mouth fearing I wouldn't want to taste my own cum but I was so much in love I didn't care what was in her mouth! I pushed my tongue to meet hers and kissed her passionately - gratefully. When I finally caught my breath I said "Pat besides given me two wonderful boys that was the most wonderful thing you have ever done for me. I will never be able to thank you enough." She looked at me for a bit and finally said "So you'll let me do that again sometime?" I grabbed her and pulled her on top of me and hugged her with all my might. She tickled me and ran toward the stream. I sat up, quickly pulled up my pants, zipped up (almost catching my balls in the zipper) and ran after her. I chased her to the stream and she ran along it until she realized I was catching up to her. She turned and ran into the stream screaming and laughing. I chased after her and tackled her in the stream and we both went down. I grabbed her and we came up kissing. We were hugging and kissing when we felt splashes all around us and the boys were now in the stream jumping all over us and cheering and giggling. Pat and I each turned to one of them and grabbed them and tickled them until they were practically crying with laughter. The rest of the afternoon we were just one big bundle of hugs and kisses. "Mommy and Daddy are in their underwear! Mommy and Daddy are in their underwear!" was the litany we heard all the way home. We had taken off our outer clothes and the boys and I were just in our undershorts and Pat was in her panties and bra. I enjoyed that since both were quite transparent when wet. When we had gotten undressed to leave and I saw Pat and waited until she had moved out of sight of the boys. I came around her from behind and shoved my hand down the front of panties. I grabbed her mound and it seemed to swell immediately. She leaned back and said "mmmm, I can't wait until we get home." On the way home we taught the boys the "I see London, I see France" song and they had a great time with that one. We'll probably regret it but it was pretty funny at the time. I gave the kids their baths while Pat fixed a quick dinner. We all ate and we put the kids to bed and then we took a shower together and had a slow comfortable screw. The next morning as I prepared for the outing with Sally I looked at Pat sleeping, how lovely she looked, and thought about the changes that had taken place in the last week. It was like a different world and we were in love again. How could I be even thinking about another woman let alone preparing to join one for what was likely to be an exciting sexual adventure. Oh yeah. Now I remember. I thought about this dilemma on the way to Sally's. I thought I should tell Sally that this wouldn't work. I just didn't know how without hurting her. I thought about the promise I had made to her about lying. I kept thinking that the life I was living was a lie. I knew that we could never get together but I still couldn't give her up. I pulled up to Sally's place and she was ready to go. She had a backpack and walked up to the Jeep as I approached. As she got in I leaned over and kissed her. Her kiss back was passive and she looked at me and said "I'm sorry Jack. I didn't sleep well last night - it's early. Maybe I need to wake up a bit." "It's ok Sally. We've got a long ride. Why don't you see if you can get some sleep." "Mmmm, good idea. See you later." and she leaned her seat back. She was sound asleep within a couple of miles. I was probably about 2 miles from the lake when she finally woke up. I was surprised that the earlier jostling didn't wake her up. "Hello my sleeping beauty. I guess you were tired. How do you feel now?" "Ugh. I little groggy. Do you have any coffee?" "Yeah, the thermos is right here. I'm afraid there isn't much left." "That's ok. I think I just need a little zing to get my mind in order." She had some coffee and had a chance to look around. "We're almost there aren't we?" "Yes, just maybe two miles at the most." "So you didn't need your 'expert' navigator?" I laughed and said "Yes, I do 'need' my 'expert' navigator but not for navigation." with obvious allusions. Sally smiled - God I loved that smile - and then looked at me and finally said "Jack, we need to talk." Oh Oh. I knew Sally well enough that she meant it and meant it now. I stopped the Jeep, turned off the engine and looked at her. "Jack, I love you. I didn't think I would ever love a man besides my father. You changed my life and you were so gentle, understanding, and loving. I can never refuse any demand you make of me. I am forever indebted to you. Do you understand? You mean everything to me." "Yes, Sally I love you to. You've done the same for me. But I sense there's a 'but' in your message." Sally slowly shook her head and was about to speak when I held my hand up. "I think I know what you are going to say and I have to keep my promise to you first. No lies. I love you deeply but we can't be lovers. You have a great life ahead of you and I can't selfishly keep you to myself when I know I'll never leave my wife and family. This hurts me intensely but I can't lie to you. I will always love you and remember you. I'm sorry Sally." Tears welled up in Sally's eyes and she started to cry. I hugged her and said "I'm sorry Sally. This hurts me so much." as I choked back tears. "I know that now Jack. This was what I was going to tell you but I am so glad you told me first. If I had told you I would have never known that you would have kept your promise to me. You did even though I know how this hurts you. You can't possibly know how much this makes me love you even more. I want to be your friend forever. I hope I can meet the luckiest woman in the world if you would be willing to let me be friends with your wife." I hugged Sally and asked if she wanted to head back home. She laughed and said "No Jack. You are my friend and I really want to spend the day with you. I want to enjoy the lake and this magnificent outdoor space with you. I hurt and you hurt but we both love each other and enjoy the same things. Of course we want to spend the day together silly. Let's go - do you want me to navigate so you don't get lost?" I cracked up. "Sure Sally. Please tell me when I make a wrong turn." I started the Jeep and put it in gear when Sally said "Stop!". I panicked and jammed my foot on the brake. "What's wrong?" "You forgot to kiss me..." Sally said with a smile that I loved. I shook my head and leaned over and kissed her. "May I go now?" "Yes dear." Sally said wiping her eyes and smiling a satisfied smile. We reached the lake a few minutes later and we unpacked the Jeep spreading the blanket I had brought. Once the Jeep was unpacked I heard Sally yell "Last one in is a rotten egg!" I looked at her and she started taking off her clothes. I just stood there not believing what I was seeing as she took off everything. "You're going to be the rotten egg!" and she ran to the lake. I was dumbfounded. I thought Sally just wanted to be friends - this brings a totally new perspective to the concept. What the fuck? I thought as I stripped and ran to join her. When I caught up with her I said "I guess you've finally woken up?" "Yeah thanks to being here with you and being like this. This is so exhilarating!" I couldn't agree more. We swam, splashed, and played. We finally got tired and got out to rest, warm up, and have lunch. I had brought a bottle of wine and we had our towels this time to dry off. We didn't bother getting dressed which was really quite exciting but simply sat on the blanket getting the lunch ready. I saw Sally looking at my eyes and I looked back at her. The feeling was palpable. Sally wanted to say something. "Jack? I want to ask you to do something that might sound very strange to you but I need you to listen completely before you react and then I need you to give me a completely honest answer. Ok?" "Sure Sally what's on your mind?" "Well, you've taught me a lot and you did it in a way that was both considerate and gentle. I want to learn one more thing and I want you as my teacher. I would like you to teach me how to make love." I was stunned but she quickly held up her hand. "I know we talked about being lovers. This isn't what I'm looking for - please believe me. Yes, before I realized the impossibility of our situation I was hoping that we would make love this weekend. Even though I now know that we can't be lovers that doesn't remove all of the reason I was excited about making love with you. I was looking forward to the new discovery AND I was so happy that YOU would be my teacher because I trust you so much. These things haven't changed. I don't want this if you'll feel obligated or it compromises our relationship or that of yours with your wife. I do want you to show me but only if you can." "I'm speechless Sally. You have such integrity and are SO full of innocent and open love. I am so lucky just to know you. Are you sure you want this? Don't you want to 'save' yourself for a man you can spend the rest of your life with?" "Well that sounds romatic but what's the reality? The reality is that I won't know that I want to spend the rest of my life with the man until after I make love with him. Chances are I'll make love with a few men before I'm lucky to find someone as good as you. Therefore the first man will inevitably be the wrong one. Consequently my probabilities of getting the best experience are much much higher if I have you rather than waiting. Finally, if it is so important to a man that I be a virgin for him to love me completely then I guarantee he's the wrong man for me." Christ! I never get over the logic and intelligence of this woman! "Sally, what can I say? How can you possibly expect me to want to make love to the most beautiful, intelligent woman whom I love dearly and who, by the way, is sitting stark naked next to me?" I said with a lascivious smile. "Oh Jack! You're awful!" and she jumped up on me and tackled me. She rolled me on to my back and held me down and kissed me. She lifted her head and looked deeply into my eyes and asked "Are you sure you're ok with this?" I looked back and said "Yes Sally, I am honored. My question is are YOU sure?" "I'd be 'deeply' grateful!" OH GOD! "Man, I've never been in this position before. I feel like a teenager who doesn't know what to do next. Sally, did you have anything in mind or do you want me to 'walk' you through this in a conventional way and then you can explore the more esoteric variations on your own?" "I've thought about it in a million different ways but they all ended up with a conventional finish so this may be the best. I'm really nervous so can I just relax and let you guide me?" "Sure, I think you're right. Why don't you roll onto your back and close your eyes for a minute?" Sally did what I asked. I think she might have expected me to just jump on top of her and fuck her because she had her arms by her side and had her legs spread so I could access her. I wanted to teach her about making love not fucking. I looked at her for a little bit and then leaned over and gently kissed her lips. She responded with a french kiss but I pulled away. I kissed her forehead and her eyelids. I kissed her cheeks and worked my lips down to her left ear, nibbled on her ear lobe and whispered "I love you Sally. I want to caress your whole body - is that ok with you?" Sally just nodded. I moved my lips to her neck and I heard her sigh and she turned her head slightly so I could kiss more of her neck. I followed her lead and then worked over her shoulder to her collar bone. Sally shifted slightly like she was settling into the blanket. She lifted her chin so I could move across her collar bone. Once again I responded and kissed across the top of her chest. Sally took a deep breath anticpating my lips on her breasts but, instead, I took a side trip to Sally's arm and ran my lips down her arm. I was kissing her right arm so was leaning completely over her body. My cock accidently brushed her left arm and then her belly. I felt Sally jump and she reached her left hand to touch my cock. I moved her hand away and whispered into her right ear "Let me do this Sally. You just enjoy." "mmmm" Sally murmured. I moved down the right side of her neck and then back to her collar bone. I worked back over to her right side and moved to the right side of her breast. I moved back and ran my tongue up her breast to her nipple which was now fully erect. Sally moaned. I twirled my tongue around the nipple and started to gently suck it. Sally was panting and moaning loudly now. I moved my mouth away from her right tit and heard Sally gasp with disappointment but as I moved my tongue between her breasts and up her left breast she began to pant again in anticipation. I twirled my tongue on the left breast and then took a large portion of her breast into my mouth. I didn't want to be too forceful but I did want to give her a different feel. It must have worked because she was openly moaning loudly now. I sensed her hips moving and noticed she had moved her hand to her crotch and was bring herself off. I knew it was time. I took my mouth off her breast and moved her hand away from her crotch. She whimpered and quietly said "Noooo." I sat up and moved to reposition myself between her legs. Sally sensed this and openned her eyes. I looked into her eyes as I slowly settled between her legs. She just looked deeply into my eyes and was alternating between holding her breath and taking rapid shallow breaths. I lowered myself and felt the tip of my cock touch her mound. She gasped as fear and wonder appeared in her eyes. I quietly said "shhhh." I backed up a little bit and then lowered myself until we were belly to belly. I wasn't sure if I would need to guide my cock with my hand but as I moved forward I felt contact and then a sliding feeling on my cockhead. I knew Sally was ready and thought she would hyperventilate from the frightened shallow breaths she was making. I looked at her and again said "Shhhhh." I kissed her and said "Sally, I love you. Relax and love me back. I want you to tell me when you're ready. I will stay here forever if you want. I love you so much. Shhhh." Another kiss and Sally's breathing became more regular. She was still panting but it was now deep breaths. She looked at me and then smiled. In between pants she said "I love you. Please be inside me." I kissed her gently and then looked into her eyes again as I moved forward slightly. I felt my cockhead open her entrance a bit and then she winced. "It will be ok Sally. Trust me." she took a breath and then nodded. I pushed forward and felt her give way as she let out a scream. I stopped and Sally slowly switched back from her shallow breaths to her deeper breaths. She swallowed and I felt her hips begin to move. I slid back slightly and then moved deeper. Sally's eye's widened as she felt herself fill for the first time. I moved gently back and forth entering deeper each time. Sally was moaning now. On the next push I was in all the way. Sally looked at me and I smiled. She licked her lips and began to move her hips. I felt her tight around me and felt her muscles squeezing me. I started to pump in earnest and Sally's eyes rolled back. I felt her grab my ass and pull me deeper into her. Her legs wrapped around me and she was moving wildly. "OH GOD NO! OH YES! OH JACK! OH YES FUCK ME. FUCK ME DEEP! FUCK ME DEEPER!" and she screamed as I felt her muscles squeezing the life out of my cock. Oh oh. "Sally, is it safe to cum in you or should I pull out. I need to know NOW!" Nothing. I decided I had better withdraw but Sally openned her eyes and screamed "YES JACK! CUM IN ME. FILL ME. FILL ME COMPLETELY!" "OH GOD!" I yelled as I erupted! "JESUS GOD I LOVE YOU!" The echoes of our screams finally died down and we lay panting. I was sweaty and sliding on Sally's sweaty breasts. We lay there for the longest time and finally Sally said "Thank you Jack. That was glorious! I couldn't get my mind to know what to expect but I wouldn't ever have expected something so divine! I was right to ask you this. You are the perfect 'instructor'." "Oh God Sally. I can't believe what you do to me. Are you sure it was safe to make love? I should have asked sooner. Will you be ok?" "Yes, Jack. On Wednesday I went to the doctor's and got some birth control pills. I'm safe. Am I ever glad I made that trip!" "Thank God." I kissed Sally and rolled off of her to lie next to her on my back. I was blissfully happy. I held her hand and she squeezed mine. I felt rain on me and then realized that it was Sally standing over me dripping. She must have gone swimming and was now drying off. What a great view to wake up to! Sally was standing next to my shoulder with her legs slightly spread. I looked up her legs to that beautiful pussy, her ass, belly, tits, and, best of all, that great smile! Sally looked at me and said "You finally awake? You slept for two hours. I took every advantage of your naked body while you were asleep." I'm in heaven for sure! "I hope you enjoyed yourself." "Oh I did. I learned a lot more about your anatomy." "Just as I am of yours now." Sally smiled that smile I love. She asked "Jack, can we always stay friends like this? Can we be open like this and will our other lovers understand? I can be so open with you and you've openned up such new vistas that my life is changed forever. Will jealousy keep us from being so open that the rest of our lives can be included in this?" "I don't know Sally but I certainly hope so." I stood and gave her a long, full body hug, and then ran and jumped in the lake to cool off and clean up before we hit the road AND before things got out of hand. Epilog My predictions to Sally proved 100 percent correct. She had no shortage of male attention and did have some strains with women who were jealous of it. Sally dated a few guys and the dates, in most cases, stopped after the first either because the man was only after one thing and couldn't deal with Sally's integrity and Sally ended it or because they never came back for a second try because they were intimidated by her intelligence and strength of character. Sally finally came to me one day and told me about a guy she met who actually worked for our company. She was effusive about his virtues and called Bob her younger 'Jack'. I'll admit I was insanely jealous and somewhat put off that I was the 'older' Jack but I agreed to join Sally and Bob for lunch one day. Bob and I hit it off like we were long lost buddies. I suppose this is a testament to Sally's integrity. She knew what she liked, she liked me, there was no ambiguity in her affections so it was only natural that whoever she liked I would probably also like (unless I was a jealous asshole who wouldn't like the guy if I was looking in the mirror). Sally had taught me enough about love and myself that I was more than impressed with Bob. I wasn't too surprised that Bob also liked off-roading in the same way Sally and I did. We all agreed we should go on a trip to the lake together. I said I would bring Pat as well. My relationship with Pat had blossomed since Sally's metamorphosis. I really can't pinpoint a specific trigger for our change. If someone asked me for advice on how to save a marriage I would have no idea how to do it other than to suggest to find another Sally in the same circumstances. Pat has become so loving and adventurous I have found myself wickedly surprised on several occassions with the things she's come up with. Where she was bashful of being seen by me before she was now so unabashed that our boys have gotten a pretty good education on the female anatomy since the transformation. Pat's wardrobe has been completely updated (Sally was right about the expense) much to my pleasure. Pat and I have gone out into the woods together on a number of occassions and basked in each other's nakedness. We had never gone to the lake because that had a special place in my mind that I didn't feel right going there without Sally. I knew Sally had gone there a few times with Bob and I didn't want to intrude into what I came to think of as Sally's space. When I told Pat about the trip she was excited about meeting some of my off-roading friends as she called them but was disappointed in one respect that we wouldn't be by ourselves to enjoy some more adventure. We all met at the trailhead and then went as a caravan to the lake. When we arrived at the lake we set up our blankets and unpacked. Pat pulled off her blouse to enjoy the sun (she had her bathing suit on underneath). We both heard Sally shout "Last one in is a rotten egg!" and as we both looked over to see her strip naked and run into the lake. Bob looked at us, looked back at Sally, and also stripped and dove into the lake. Pat looked at me and said "Hmmm, liberated aren't they? Of course if I had a body like hers maybe I would be that liberated too. His isn't so bad either." I looked at Pat and said "Sorry Pat. I guess I should have known they would be sans suit but I didn't even think about it. I'm sure they would not mind if you wanted to keep your suit on. I'll keep mine on as well so your not uncomfortable." Pat looked at me as if tumblers were falling into place. "So Bob is the person you came off-roading with those few times?" I looked at her and said quietly "No Pat. It was Sally." Tears welled up in Pat's eyes and she sunk down next to me. She looked at me for a long time holding back her tears and finally said chokingly "You could have lied to me. I would have believed you." "Pat, I'm sorry but one of the things I did learn from Sally is that no matter how much it hurts the truth is always better." Pat leaned against me unable to hold back and sobbed. I held her and rocked her a bit and, after a while, her crying slowly stopped. Between sniffles Pat said "I guess I owe Sally far more than I'll ever know. Because of her we have a marriage again. I don't know how it happened and I'm not sure I want to know but I am sure that somehow Sally did this. I don't sense that you are jealous of Bob so I do need to ask one thing. Do you love Sally?" "Yes Pat I do." Pat gasped and I could see an incredible fear build up in her and if she could breathe she would have been sobbing again. When she let me finish I said "I love her for what she is but most of all for the changes she brought to you and me. Sally is like a sister to me now and she brought my wife back to me." Pat gasped again and once again leaned on me sobbing. It took a while for her to calm down and when she did she jumped on top of me hugging and kissing me. "Oh God Jack! I love you so much and now I love Sally too. I need to give my 'sister-in-law' a big hug!" with that she pushed me down, stood up, stripped completely naked, and ran to the lake shouting "Jack's a rotten egg!". She swam over to Sally, said a couple of words, and surprised all of us by giving Sally a huge hug and a kiss. Bob and Sally married. It was a small wedding. Pat and I gave away the bride and groom. We've gone on many camping trips since with and without the kids (ours and theirs). Clothing optional is the rule but the rule is pretty pointless - who the hell wears clothes? <1st attachment end>
