Curiosity pricked at Carol as she watched Lynn dump the coffee grounds into the trash. This was the first time Carol found herself alone with Lynn since Thomas confessed that he and Andy had had sex with multiple women at the same time. Although she didn't act any differently, Carol wondered if it bothered her at all that Thomas had kept it a secret. On top of that matter, Carol wondered how she really felt about a foursome with Andy. Lynn had agreed to it without much thought.
"Mind if I ask you a few personal questions," Carol asked as she grabbed the empty coffeepot from the machine.
"Not at all. You know you can ask me anything," Lynn said, walking toward her. "What's on your mind, hon?"
"Thomas kept his little orgy times a secret from you. Does that bother you at all?"
"Well, he didn't really keep it a secret." Lynn stood next to Carol as she set the coffeepot in the sink to wash. "I've known him long enough to detect when he's not entirely truthful with me. His confession was honest. I think he really did forget to tell me and he only thought about it now because of his idea for Andy's birthday."
"Does it bother you at all that he and Andy—"
"No, it's fine. Really. Does it bother you?"
"No, I don't have a problem with it. I only asked because I didn't want you to feel hurt or anything. It's not like what he did made him a criminal."
Carol shut off the taps, then set the clean pot and dispenser in the drain board next to her cup.
"He was a young college man living with his best friend and having sex with multiple women. It's not a big deal to me." Lynn handed Carol a dishtowel.
Carol faced Lynn as she wiped her hands. "I'm just making sure. I like the openness we have with each other. Honesty and trust are important in any relationship."
Lynn closed the distance between them. She planted a gentle kiss on Carol's lips. "Honey, I couldn't agree more with you. Now, let's go shopping."
Carol watched as her lover hurried out of the room. She wanted to ask Lynn how she felt about having sex with Andy, but it seemed her window of opportunity had passed. Somehow, she'd find a way to ask Lynn later.
After a stop in the bathroom to brush her teeth and fix her hair, Carol dressed in jeans and a comfortable shirt. The temperature during summer in Chicago typically ran hot and stores kept their thermostats cranked on high to cool customers. Wearing shorts or Capris would not be the best choice of attire unless she wanted to freeze while they shopped.
Purse in hand, Carol strode from the bedroom. She peaked in another room in the apartment, but the dark light indicated Lynn was elsewhere. Reaching the main room, Carol spotted Lynn on the sofa with her gaze at the monitor propped up on her lap. Lynn closed the lid on the laptop, and then set it to the side.
Lynn stood. "I have a few places I'd like to go in addition to the party supply stores."
"All right. I'm ready."
Together, they left the condo and rode in a cab to the first store. Carol browsed while Lynn spoke to one of the managers. Ten minutes later, they were heading to another party supply place.
By late afternoon, they'd traveled to three party stores and two bakeries. Lynn had managed to arrange caterers and decorators for Andy's party. They'd taken a break for a light snack from the last bakery, and then headed for Victoria's Secret.
"I think you should talk Thomas into buying stock in this store," Carol said as the cab came to a stop in front of the department store.
"You know, that's a good idea. We'll have to work on convincing him. And by that, I mean buy an outfit for him to appreciate too."
After Lynn paid the driver, Carol scooted out of the car behind her. A rush of arctic air hit them as they stepped into the big store.
"Do they want us to freeze in here?" Carol asked, rubbing her hand over an arm while she clasped her purse.
Lynn proceeded to the escalators. She turned to Carol as they ascended to the second floor. "We should get something kinky for Thomas, and something more sensual for Andy."
Carol nodded and didn't question Lynn's choice of lingerie for the two men. Lynn had known Andy a lot longer than Carol had, so she probably knew his personal tastes better.
Two employees dressed in black greeted them at the top of the escalator. Carol paused as Lynn kindly informed the gals she didn't need assistance. The employee with the nametag showing Stacie smiled and quickly went over the specials. Why couldn't department stores let customers shop without any interruptions?
Lynn and Carol strolled into one of the sections with sexy babydoll outfits and silk slips.
"Now this I like," Lynn said, stopping in front of a red lace and mesh babydoll number. "The color is perfect for you and the v-neckline will really show off your breasts."
"Like I need to show them off anymore." Carol smirked.
"Honey, you got great boobs. Flaunt them." Lynn lifted the hanger with the correct size from the rack.
Grinning, Carol took the garment from her hand. "I think pink would look good on you since you have blonde hair."
"My favorite color." Lynn walked around, gazing at the various items on the racks. She stopped and reached for one of the outfits. "Tell me what you think of this."
Carol examined the pink halter babydoll as Lynn held it in front of her. The sexy garment had floral lace and a slit on the side.
"The neck adjusts, so I'm sure it will fit," Lynn said.
"It's very sexy. I like it."
"Me too." She smiled and moved closer to Carol. "I think Andy will like these."
In an instant, Carol seized the opportunity to discuss how Lynn felt about having sex with him. Clearly, it seemed she was interested. But why? Wasn't she happy with Thomas?
"You seem eager to do this."
"What? Have a foursome?"
"Yeah."
Lynn smiled. "I've always liked Andy. He's cute, funny, and a big loveable guy. Him and Thomas are great friends and have been through a lot together. I always wanted to bring another man home, just to play around with. You know," she shrugged, "see what it's like with two men."
"But with your situation…"
"Yeah, Thomas is too big for me. But from what he's told me about Andy, I might be able to handle Andy's cock."
Carol's jaw dropped. "What do you know about Andy?"
Lynn’s smile grew to a wide grin. "Thomas said he's several inches shorter and not as thick."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Carol swallowed to refrain from laughing. Andy's physique came close to Thomas's, which was large. They worked out regularly at the gym and played football in college. Their hunky build made them eye candy. Since Thomas had a big dick to go with his frame, Carol suspected Andy would too.
"No, honey. A big body doesn't always mean—"
"Is that why you wanted to have a ménage with him?" Carol asked.
"Partly, yes. I knew Thomas trusted him, and that one quality is very important. If I were going to have sex with any other man, why not Andy?"
She had a good point. If Andy had a smaller penis, why not find out if she can handle it. The fact that Andy was a trustworthy friend to her and Thomas was another benefit. Andy seemed like a perfect candidate to bring into the bedroom.
"Were you a little shocked Thomas agreed to this?"
Lynn's lips twitched as she sighed. "Well, yes and no. I think he's coming out of his shell more, thanks to you. For a while, he focused on our marriage and his career. He wanted to protect me and do the right thing. But all along, he had this naughty streak in him. I saw it and recognized it was there from the day I met him. So, when he confessed about him and Andy fucking multiple women, I really wasn't shaken. He has a wild side he hides very well."
Carol couldn't help but grin. "Yeah, he does. Do you think he could be hiding anything else from us?"
"No. He would have told us when he confessed the other night. I'm sure of it. He's smart and knows he has a good thing with us. If he fucks it up, he'll lose two valuable women. I don't think any man wants that to happen."
<
br /> "True."
"Come on." Lynn put her hand on Carol's arm and took a step to the main aisle. "Let's find something kinky for Thomas."
Side by side, they walked toward the section with garters and sexy bras.
"Are you okay with a foursome?" Lynn asked. "I don't want you to feel like you have to do this because I want to."
"It's fine with me. I've never had sex with more than one guy at the same time. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm curious what it will feel like. I'm glad Thomas is going along with the idea. I'd hate for him to get jealous."
"I highly doubt he will since it's Andy we're bringing into the group."
They stopped near a rack and Lynn checked the time on her cell phone. "Great. We have plenty of time.”
"To look for something wicked, then sneak into the dressing room and try them on." Carol wiggled her brows.
The corner of Lynn's lips curled. "I like the way you think."
Holding the playful grin, Lynn walked to a rack near the back wall. Carol chuckled silently as happiness filled her soul. She had a wonderful relationship with a man and a woman, and both were interested in bringing another member into their private playground. It seemed surreal. Andy was a good man, no question about it, and he had a mischievous and lively nature similar to Thomas. But would Andy accept his gift of group sex?
Thomas had said Andy was envious. With that in mind, Carol felt confident Andy's birthday would be a blast for everyone. She couldn't wait for the special night, couldn't wait for two men to pump their cocks into her. Moreover, she wanted Lynn to feel a greater sense of satisfaction, to enjoy a man's hardness between her legs without feeling pain. Yes, Carol was eager for Andy's special night.
Chapter Five
The sun shined bright in the sky, forcing Carol to squint as she stared out the window. The cab drove slowly down a long driveway, approaching a light-beige brick house. Sitting alone on several acres, the beach home appeared modern, cozy, and very spacious with a large patch of trees populating an area to the right. A few smaller trees stood in front and on the other side of the nicely trimmed landscaping. Between the large structure and the four-car garage on the left, Carol spotted the lake.
"You live here?" asked the cab driver as he followed the curve to the front of the house.
"No, a friend of a friend lives here. I'm visiting."
"Nice property." He stopped near the door and pressed a button on his dashboard.
Carol leaned forward with cash in hand. She gave him the money without waiting for the total. Lynn had told her the cost before she left the condo. Grabbing her purse and tote bag, she pushed open the door and left the vehicle.
One of the large doors at the front of the house opened. Lynn stepped out wearing heels, slacks, and a baby-blue colored blouse. Her blonde hair hung on one side of her shoulders. She had a classy look that screamed of sophistication. Underneath, she was naughty woman with a taste for hot sex.
"Did you bring the goodies?" Lynn asked with a big smile.
Carol walked toward her. "I brought the toys and the sexy clothes we purchased over the weekend."
"Excellent."
Lynn stepped to the side as Carol entered the home. Carol stopped in the entryway and gazed at the oak staircase curving up and another leading down. Tile covered the floor up to the open living area. Windows with wood trim took up most of the back wall. The lakefront tranquility beyond the glass held her attention.
"This is nice."
"Andy's parents own this place, but they only stay here a few times a year." Lynn took the tote from Carol's hand.
"His parents own it but they don't live here?"
Carol followed Lynn as she headed toward the main room. Beige leather furniture, tables, and lamps filled the area. A rectangular rug with shades of red, gold, and green added warmth and color to the room. A fancy bar with stools took up space in one corner. Each side of the room had a fireplace. The home had to be worth a few million, at least.
"It was an investment property to them. They rent it out. Do you recall how I mentioned Andy's parents were rich?"
Lynn led her around a corner and into a large kitchen with black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and salmon-colored cabinetry. The color blended well with the wood floors. A long island took up only a fraction of space. Windows stood high above the sink. Lynn stopped at the island and set the tote on the countertop. A few full grocery bags took up space near her.
Carol stopped across from Lynn and set her purse down. "I remember you said they were wealthy, and Andy loaned Thomas money to start the marketing firm."
"You'll get to meet them. They'll be here tomorrow night to wish him a happy birthday."
"Are they staying long?"
"No, I spoke to his mom and she said they'd leave after the fireworks so he can enjoy the party with his friends. She also informed me that he's suspicious. I guess they typically rent this place out during the summer, so when she asked him to stop by on his birthday he asked questions. She told him they are staying here this year, but apparently Andy acted like he didn't believe her."
"Do you think he knows? He didn't act any different at work this week." Not that Carol saw him much. The few times she'd seen him in passing, he looked frustrated and in a hurry.
"He knows something is going on, but right now he thinks only his parents are involved. Andy mentioned the whole thing to Thomas on the flight to Indy. Before they went to their meeting, Thomas called me and gave me the information."
The last minute meeting Andy and Thomas had to attend put more pressure on Carol and Lynn, mostly Lynn, to get the party organized. Lynn had taken the day off along with Friday to make sure the caterers and decorators showed up and did their jobs. Carol couldn't schedule time away from work since both men were out of the office. She had both their ending week status reports to finish and she had to hold down the fort. After putting in extra hours during the week already with Andy's other reports he needed completed, Carol was exhausted. Fortunately, Lynn had quite the organizational skills and flexibility in her part-time job to ensure Andy's party turned out to be a success.
"Let me make sure I get this right," Carol said. "The plan is for Thomas to spring this 'Hey buddy, let's go out and party' tomorrow. Then, Thomas will bring Andy here after a few drinks so Andy can visit with his parents for a bit. Right?"
"That's the plan." Lynn smiled.
Carol scooted a chair out from the island and sat. "Yeah, Andy's going to know there's a party and Thomas is involved."
"Sure he will, but he doesn't know who will be here, and he most certainly has no idea about the gift we're giving him after everyone leaves."
"Have you thought about how we're going to spring our gift on him?"
Lynn's smile widened. "I have a couple ideas, but it all depends how quickly people leave and how much he drinks. I don't think we should do anything if he's completely drunk."
"I totally agree with you there. He might not remember the sex or he could pass out." Alternatively, Andy could get sick. A few drinks were okay and certainly took the unease away from a confusing and exciting situation, but flooding the system with alcohol would only make matters worse.
"We have the house for the weekend and week after," Lynn said. "We'll just play things by ear. If he's too inebriated tomorrow night, then we'll wait until Saturday to indulge in our fantasies."
Carol arched a brow. "Our fantasies."
"Well, it's his gift but we get to enjoy it too. You can't lie to me and say you haven't been thinking about it all week."
"Of course I have been looking forward to it." Especially since the sex schedule they'd arranged had fallen out of line with the added work hours and Thomas leaving town. She hadn't had cock buried inside her in three days, soon to be four, and it felt like months.
Lynn stomped her foot and the heel of her shoe clacked on the floor. "Hey, I have an idea."
"What?" Carol's pulse quickened.
"Let's take a swim in
the pool. There's a large indoor one and it's heated."
"But we don't have clothes and this place looks a bit … unorganized."
Lynn waved her hand in the air. "I'll deal with it later. People are coming tomorrow anyway. As for clothes, we don't need them."
"Swim naked?"
"Yeah, I've never done it before. Have you?"
"No."
Lynn walked around the island and tugged Carol off the chair. "Here's our chance to have some girl time fun."
Carol chuckled as they headed for the door. "Oh, like we never do that at home."
"Come on. We have the entire night to ourselves in a big home filled with luxuries and new sex toys. What's not to enjoy?"
Thomas kicked off his shoes and dropped into the lounge chair near the window. The small hotel room Andy had picked contained a king size bed, a desk, a standard flat screen television, and a mini refrigerator filled with little bottles of liquor. He held one of the bottles and glanced at the label.
"What a day." He ran his free hand through his hair and leaned into his palm as he rested his elbow on the edge of the cozy chair. His unfastened collar and pants gave him room to relax, but a shower would unwind him more after a drink.
Andy was working out at the hotel's gym. The stress of the day had gotten to him, more like the stress of the week. He'd been working on a presentation to reel in a hotel chain. At the last minute, top management decided they wanted to see the presentation in person instead of via a web meeting. Andy notified Thomas and asked for his help. Thomas had Carol book a flight for them. The last several days seemed like non-stop go here and do this. Thomas was tired. And fucking horny.
He set the bottle on the table next to him and grabbed his cell phone. Although the time showed past ten, he figured his two women would be playing around somewhere. Naughty ladies. His wicked lovelies. He dialed his wife's number first, then listened to the ring.
"Hello, sweetie pie. How was the meeting?" Lynn asked.
The sound of her voice sent an instant thrill straight to his cock. "Long. Too long."
"Aw, I'm sorry. Did it turn out poorly?"
