Our First Time: Anthology of a Menage

by Jennifer O'Donnell

  “I have to go think things over.” Rick said, and removed himself from the kitchen. He didn’t want to see the look on Melissa’s face as he left room, her eyes slowly filing up with tears. He wasn’t angry; he just didn’t know how to handle the situation. The thought of sharing his wife with another man had never crossed his mind. He needed time to think, and someone with which to discuss his feelings. He called the only person that he knew he could really trust.

  Travis met Rick at their watering hole, having received what he thought an odd message, he headed there without haste. “What’s up Rick? What’s with the cryptic message?” Travis asked, as he pulled out a stool next to Rick at the bar. The red lights of the bar didn’t hide the expression on Rick’s face; Travis could tell something was really bothering him. “You’re never going to believe it man, but Mel asked me if we could do a threesome.”“A what?” Travis stammered. “You heard me. She told me tonight that it had been on her mind for awhile now. Now that the kids were gone and we had the house to ourselves.”

  “Wow Rick, that’s a lot to take in. I thought you guys were doing okay?” He had known them along time and very rarely if ever, had he talked with Rick about his relationship with Melissa. If they had fights or disagreements, he heard about them long after the fact, never immediately after they had happened. “Things are great, I still love her to death---she loves me. I’m not angry or anything, I’m just stuck between a rock and a hard place. You know?”“How so?” “Well for starters, I don’t know how I would feel watching her with another man. Would it make me feel less of a man? “

  “Oh please Rick, don’t think about it like that. I really doubt Mel wants another man because you’re not enough.” “I know your probably right Travis, but still I don’t know how to handle this.” His whiskey glass was almost empty, Travis noticed and flagged the bartender down for two more. “You know Rick; I’ve known you two for a very long time. I can say, with almost a hundred percent certainty that Mel just wants to try something out of the box. I guarantee it has nothing to do with you at all. This might sound harsh, but you might want to think more about her in this moment and less about yourself.”

  “Hey, thanks for that, Dude.” Rick came back with a subtle chuckle. “Really, I’m serious man.”Travis responded with passion. “If she was asking for permission for a threesome with two other men, I’d say divorce that girl and move on. But she’s not, you have to face it man, she might want to try things that you can’t give her by yourself.” Ricks eyes peaked with curiosity at the end of that statement. “What kind of things are you talking about?” Rick asked. “Uh, well…” Travis hesitated for a moment; he hadn’t expected to be talking to Rick about such a personal matter. “Well for one, she might want---you know--- two at once.” He said, trying his best to sort of mime the maneuver with his hands. Rick laughed at his gesture.

  “Do you honestly think Melissa would want two guys at the same time? “Some women like it, I’m sure it doesn’t feel horrible, you know?” They laughed, both from the awkward tension and the thought of the whole thing. “She may also want to try, you know, going down on two guys. I hear some women enjoy the challenge. I mean, come on man, you telling me you wouldn’t like the challenge of Mel and another woman?” Rick sat quiet for a moment before he answered Travis’ question. “Okay, yes I guess I see your point. I wouldn’t want to sleep with another woman because Mel wasn’t enough. I guess I’d want to because she was enough, and that would probably be fun for both of us.”“Wait, you’re not thinking of switching teams with this guy are you?” Travis asked abruptly. “No, no, no… Hell no, but if that’s what Mel wants, them I’m pretty sure I’d enjoy the hell out of watching her get her rocks off with someone else.”

  The more Rick talked with Travis, the more the idea didn’t seem so horrible. Mel could have twice the fun, and for once he could sit back and watch her enjoy herself. At first he didn’t understand it, but after a few whiskeys’ the idea seemed to be turning him on. “Now all you have to do is to find someone to help you out,” Travis quipped. He hadn’t really noticed the way Rick was staring at him. “What’s the look for bub?”

  “I think it’s going to be you.” Travis was taken aback as Rick’s words came at him. He’d been all for helping him talk through his problem. But now the present outcome was almost too much to handle. “I couldn’t possibly do that Rick, that’s too much---it’s way too personal.” His words rambled out at about a million miles an hour. “Why not?” countered Rick. “I know you love her, and me. Hell, the three of us are the only real family any of us have, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let some stranger have his way with my Melissa. Plus, don’t I have to think about Mel first?” He laid the sarcasm on pretty thick with his last few words.

  “I guess you might have a point.” Rick could see Travis was still uncomfortable with the whole arrangement. “You know Travis; I know you care about her, and I’m pretty sure it’s been a long time since you’ve been with anyone. You honor Rebecca’s memory and live a solitary life now. I really don’t’ think this arrangement would be bad. I mean you’d be giving me peace of mind, knowing that the man with whom I share Mel respects her as much as I do. Plus, I think Mel would probably be far more comfortable with you than anyone else. Not to be intrusive, but it’s probably been a while since you’ve been with anyone, right? Travis was silent for a moment before he answered.

  “Yes it has, but to be honest I haven’t really wanted anyone since Rebecca passed away. I had plenty of lovers before her, but she took the cake. I didn’t want to tarnish her memory with anyone else. But I guess if this is what Mel would want, and she is okay with me, then in a way I would be honored to be of service to you both.” They sat their smiling for a moment, the whiskey warming their blood and loosening their nerves. They spent the rest of the night joking and reminiscing about old times, hardships and adventures before saying goodnight and returning home.

  When Rick returned home, he quietly crept into bed. Mel had fallen asleep on her side, but as Rick slid in, she woke up. “Where have you been?” She asked, in a husky, half awake voice.“I went to the bar to talk with Travis.” He answered as he wrapped his arms around her. “Everything is okay, and as for that thing you want to try, I’m okay with it.” Even though she was half awake, he could tell the good news was putting her mind at ease. “Really Rick, I feel terrible even bringing it up. I never want to hurt you with my own selfish desires.”“That’s enough Mel; you’re not hurting anything other than my pride. We can talk more about it tomorrow; let’s just get some sleep tonight.” He kissed her on the cheek, and rolled over on his side.

  “Oh, and one last thing,” he said before passing out.” Travis is more than happy to help out.” He closed his eyes with a smirk across his face. He couldn’t see Mel’s expression, but he had an idea that he had left her with a big surprise.

  Rick stepped out of the shower, only to find Melissa buzzing around with nervous energy.“What do you mean Travis is interested in helping?” She blurted out. “Give me a second,” he responded as he dried his hair with his favorite blue towel. “I mean exactly that. I met up with Travis last night because I needed to talk to someone about this stuff, and well, after discussing it we thought that he might be the best third person.” They both stood there for a moment, he could see Melissa mulling it over in her head.

  “You know Mel,” he continued. “I’m not going to let some stranger into our bedroom, and I really doubt you want that either. If this is going to happen, we need someone we can trust, someone we know will respect us and most importantly, respect you. Plus, I’d feel more comfortable with someone that I know appreciates you as much as I do. Isn’t that fair?”

  “Absolutely, I’m just a little taken aback by the whole thing. Travis is the last person I expected you to say could join, and I figured it was going to take some time for this to work out. I wasn’t prepared for something so immediate.” Rick could tell she was turned on by the idea; she was fidg
eting with her fingers in a certain way. Something she only did, when she was aroused.

  “You know we could do it tonight, if you wanted?” he teased, watching her fidget even more. Let’s invite him over, have a little wine and dinner …then, well you know…you can take charge and get what you want.” Melissa shot him the most intense of glares.“Do not make fun of me right now,” she demanded. Rick laughed at her response.

  “Oh what’s the matter Mel, a little turned on by the idea?” He winked as he buttoned up his shirt. “Tell you what; I’ve got to go run some errands with Travis right now. Why don’t you do whatever you need to do for tonight, and we’ll be back around dinner time. Does that sound like a plan?” Rick was enjoying teasing her, much more than he anticipated. “Yes.” she managed to squeak. “Well then, I’ll be on my way.” He kissed her on lips passionately and took off, leaving her in a daze.

  Rick loaded up his truck with the tools he needed, and headed off towards Travis’ place. He called him first, letting him know that he was on his way. It was hard for Rick to focus as he drove, his mind wandering off with thoughts of Melissa. He was both turned on and excited, but he hadn’t seen his wife act so nervous in years. She was the most confident woman he had ever known, and it was the first time in a long time he had seen that confidence challenged. Nevertheless, he was sure that once the moment came, she would know how to handle herself. He also knew that he and Travis would encourage her to take charge and do what she pleased. His heart was racing, and his blood was hot. He couldn’t wait to grab Travis and head back home to get things rolling.

  As he pulled up to Travis’ house, he could see his friend waiting outside. He looked just as nervous as Melissa, and for a second it made him grin. Just last night he had been the nervous e one, needing his wife and his friend to help him with the decision. Now, he was in the driver’s seat, excited and ready to try something new and taboo. He knew the night was going to be fantastic, all he had to do was run a few errands with Travis and then the fun and games could begin.

  They spent the rest of the day running the tools around that needed to be dropped off. They didn’t talk that much. Rick could tell that Travis was nervous. First of all, he had shaved---something he had hardly ever done in the last few years. He even slicked his hair back and put on cologne. For a second, Rick thought it was mildly adorable. Here he was watching his best friend spruce up to impress his wife. It was a bizarre experience to be going through, but he reckoned everything was going to turn out alright.

  Rick and Travis returned to the house around sundown. The sky was the deepest shade of purple and blue, with only a faint band of orange stretched across the horizon. The first stars were beginning to come out in the evening sky. The air was dry and cool, with a faint breeze coming in from the north. As they walked in the door, they could smell the most enticing aroma emanating from the kitchen. Melissa had cooked quite the dinner in her nervous excitement. She had prepared both steak and lobster, which happened to the favorite meal---for both of them. She normally cooked it for every birthday and special occasion. As soon as they walked into the kitchen, Melissa jumped in nervous anticipation.

  “Oh, I hadn’t expected you guys to be home so soon.” She stammered. “Melissa, that smells delicious. You’ve outdone yourself, again” Travis complimented her as he surveyed the living room. She had obviously spent the whole day house cleaning. The place looked immaculate, and was now full of scented candles. The flickering light casting shadows upon the walls. “Thanks Travis, I just wanted to make the place look nice.”

  “I bet you did babe.” Rick commented, as he snuck up behind her wrapping both arms around her and lifting her up from the stove. “Careful, Rick.” She shouted, while playfully swatting him with her oven mitt. “Calm yourself and have a drink, dinner will be ready in five minutes.”

  Rick and Travis sat down at the table and poured themselves a couple of whiskeys. They had gone out of their way to purchase two expensive bottles. One of the finest whiskeys they could find, and a two hundred dollar pinot noir for Melissa. They poured her a hefty glass, and sat down at the table.

  Melissa served them, and took her seat at the table. For the first few minutes, no one said a word. They all agreed that the food was delicious, and occasionally one of them would say “mmm-mmm” after taking yet another delicious bite. But they were all too nervous to speak to one another. Rick finally worked up the courage to break through the tension.

  “So, obviously we’re all a little nervous right now.” Everyone stared at each other in silence. “Were all friends here, no need to be nervous.”“That’s easy for you to say Rick.” Travis smirked. “Yeah, I’m with him, easy for you to say, babe.” Melissa retorted. Rick could see a twinkle of mischief in her eyes. They continued to eat in silence for a while, towards the end of the meal, they had all had enough to drink to loosen up. It was Travis who finally changed the pace.

  “So Melissa, I have to ask. Why is this fantasy appealing?” Her eyes bulged out a little at the question. “Um, I’m not exactly sure. I guess, maybe it’s a control thing. Don’t get me wrong, I love Rick to death,” she said while reaching out to hold his hand. “But deep down inside, I guess there has always been a part of me that was interested in seeing if I could do a threesome. I guess I wanted to know if I was actually good enough, to please two men at the same time. That’s part of it, anyhow and a few other things,” she mused with a wink.

  “Other things?” Rick asked. “You know, we’ve done a lot of great things together honey. But let’s face it; you only have one cock to fuck me with.” Both Travis and Rick nearly choked on their drinks as she said cock; neither of them had ever heard her speak like that. “Oh, really?” Rick pushed ahead. “Yeah, I’ve always wanted to know what it feels like… to be, you know, kind of used by two guys.” They could tell she was nervous in admitting that. “I don’t want you to think I’m a slut, but I’ve always dreamed of having two men ravish me; two sets of hands running all over my body, two sets of lips to kiss, and tongues trying to please me. Two cocks to suck on….” Her voice trailed off as she talked about it. For a moment she simply closed her eyes and licked her lips, Rick and Travis were both turned on at this point. “Why don’t we move somewhere more comfortable?” Rick suggested, as he took Melissa by the hand. They all got up from the table and moved into the living room. They sat on the big white couch which was the centerpiece of the room. It was large enough for all of them to be comfortable.

  “I’m really nervous, guys” Melissa confessed as they all sat down. Rick slipped his hand behind her neck, cradling her head as he pulled her over for a kiss. When he pressed his lips against hers, she instantly felt at ease. At first Travis just sat there watching, but then he slowly began to rub her thighs. Everything moved slowly at first, Melissa just lay back while Rick and Travis massaged every inch of her body.

  At first they were gentle, only touching her legs and shoulders. When she began to moan with pleasure, they both started to get more adventurous. Travis slowly moved his hand from her thigh towards her breast, softly cupping each breast in his hand as he squeezed them over her dress and bra. Rick was surprised at how much he was turned on by watching Travis touch her. He found that he didn’t feel jealous, in fact, watching this only made him want to go further. He made the next bold move by sliding his left hand up underneath her dress. Melissa let out a gasp, as she felt his hand rubbing against the outside of her panties. Rick could feel the heat from between her legs, and her panties were already soaked with anticipation.

  “Ahh...” She moaned out of pleasure. Then, they slowly began to undress her. Travis helped her pull her dress up over her head, and Rick slowly pulled her lacy black panties down around her ankles. For a second they sat their admiring her half naked body in the flickering candle light. She had shaved her pussy, leaving only a small patch of brown hair above her vagina. Her skin was tanned and toned, and for a forty year old woman she was in impeccable shape. Travis helped undo her bra
---the kind that snapped in front. With a flick of his finger, her supple breasts popped out of her bra. As she was now fully naked, both men began to explore her once again.

  Rick started by kissing up the inside of her thighs, squeezing each of them as he inched closer and closer to her clit. Travis kept his attention on her breasts; he had fantasized many times about seeing her naked. Now that she was naked in front of him, he could hardly believe it. He started in by twisting her nipples between his fingers. They were bright and pink, and in the cool night air, they were rock hard. He leaned over and began to drag his tongue across them. Every flick of his tongue made her moan harder. When Rick finally reached her clit, she jumped in pleasure. It was almost too much for Melissa, the whole experience was putting her in a trance.

  She grabbed Travis to kiss him, her mouth hot and wet. Her lips tasted sweet like the wine she had been drinking. While Rick kept his head pressed firmly between her legs, she slowly started to undo Travis’ belt. She could tell he was already hard; his erection bulging out the front of his pants. Rick watched while he continued to eat her out, growing more aroused as she undressed Travis. She unbuttoned his pants, while he took off his shirt. She didn’t even let him take his pants off before she reached over to grab his cock. Travis nearly buckled over from the sensation. Her hands were cold, but quickly warmed up against his skin. She began to stroke him softly, as he finished taking off his clothes.

  At first Melissa couldn’t decide what she wanted to do, everything was happening so fast she could hardly adapt. After a moment, she spit in her hand, getting it nice and wet, and began to rub the tip of Travis’ cock again. Travis moaned in approval, as she applied the perfect pressure with her fingers. She slipped her other hand between his legs and grabbed his butt, pulling him closer to her. In one swift movement she forced his entire cock into her mouth. He was big, but so was Rick. She had years of experience going down on Rick, and knew how to handle a cock like Travis’. Sucking him made her cum hard on Rick’s face. She continued to stroke and lick Travis, occasionally taking time to drag her tongue across his balls, something she was pretty sure he would like.
