And Then There Were Three

by Renee Lindemann

  “Ok now that you have had your mind blown Damon, come dance with me,” Nicole giggled taking the confused man’s hand. Mark and I left Jovan and Raphael standing at the bar as we took to the dance floor. The four of us cut it up on the dance floor, with Nicole and I dancing with both men. When I needed to use the restroom Nicole was dancing in a man sandwich with Mark and Damon.

  The line to get into the bathroom wasn’t super long but there was a line nonetheless. I felt someone tap my arm and immediately assumed it was one of my beloveds as the men’s room was across the hall.

  “You are very beautiful and my name is Jason,” a tall light-skinned extremely handsome man extended his hand to me. I blushed as the other ladies in line took in the extremely handsome man about to pull out his best lines on me.

  “Hi Jason nice to meet you,” I replied shaking his hand.

  “I was hoping to buy you a drink or take you to dinner or just be a friend to you.”

  “I am flattered but I am married Jason.” I explained wriggling my wedding ring, a few ladies perked up upon hearing I was rejecting this one.

  “Jason, are you hitting on my girlfriend?” I heard Nicole’s sultry voice ask the question as recognition dawned on my face. This was Nicole’s ex-fiancé that broke her heart. I immediately dropped my smile as he turned to take in his ex-fiancée. Jason’s face fell at the sight of Nicole in the short leather dress that matched my dress. The few women and men stared at the new drama not wanting to go into the restroom.

  “Uh Nicole, wow! Nice to see you,” Jason said as Nicole approached. Jason gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek as Nicole took my hand.

  “Looking good Jason but no hitting on my woman.” Nicole said confidently as I blushed under her attention. Even the women in line could see that Nicole was drop dead beautiful.

  “So this gorgeous creature belongs to you? I should have known you did have really great taste.” Jason tried to regain his composure.

  “Probably more the other way around. I belong to this gorgeous creature.” Nicole replied looking directly into my eyes. With zero inhibitions I kissed Nicole as Jason watched with interest.

  “That was so sweet baby.”

  “Not as sweet as that kiss,” Nicole blushed. I am telling you, it looked as if a cartoon light bulb went off over Jason’s head. He thought of removing us both from the club and having his way with the two of us.

  “Well since we are all old friends, why don’t we take this party to the dance floor? After you use the restroom of course.” Jason gave us both a panty-crushing smile. Most of the ladies in line actually swooned.

  “Jason, you are not trying to sweet talk my two ladies are you?” Mark said making his presence known holding up two fingers. Now neither line was moving as everyone in the hallway became engrossed in our crazy scene. If the ladies swooned for Jason they practically panted when they turned to take in Mark.

  “How are you doing Jason? I am Mark.” Mark extended his hand as a bewildered Jason shook it more out of formality than understanding.

  “Jason, this is my boyfriend Mark,” Nicole introduced. The people in the hallway were having a hard time keeping up with the titles being tossed around.

  “I thought you said this gorgeous creature is your girlfriend. Now this man is your boyfriend? I am confused Nicole what are you into now?”

  “I am into these two or more like they are in me,” Nicole guffawed, “or something like that.” Nicole pretended to think this over but dismissed the logic with a swipe of her hand.

  “We would like to thank you Jason for letting this amazing woman go,” I said sending a high five his way that he ignored. Ok I guess I am not a gorgeous creature anymore! Men are so fickle!

  “Oh so I dump you and you have to go find a married couple to fulfill you.” Jason tried to recover with a dirty remark. “Damn I am a bad brother.”

  “Not really but Mark is a bad brother. You are right he definitely fills me. Or is it when I am face down in my woman’s delicious pussy? Either way I am so very fulfilled so Eva’s right high five time.” Nicole raised her hand for a high five that was never met. The people in the hallway started to laugh as they noticed the look of utter defeat on Jason’s face. He had hoped Nicole would mourn his loss the rest of her life. Not so much!

  “I would have kept you if I thought you could have brought this gorgeous creature to our bedroom.” Jason said trying to touch my hand, which I snatch away immediately.

  “Don’t worry Jason I got it from here. I will take good care of them tonight. You know for the both of us,” Mark interjected his nostrils were full on flaring right now. Mark patted his back but it was a lethal pat. I put my hand on Mark’s bicep to calm him.

  “I am so jealous of you right now man,” an unknown man slapped Mark a high five. The line began to move as Jason just stood there glaring at Nicole.

  “Hurry ladies, I want those asses on the dance floor,” Mark announced as he went into the men’s room.

  A dude walked up to Jason and pretended to close his mouth. “Close your mouth dawg, you fucked up big time. You two are so fucking beautiful, damn.” The dude directed kisses in our direction as he walked away. I wrapped a protective arm around Nicole as she leaned into me, not from the dude but from Jason’s crazy stare.

  “Ok damn that was a good show. Both those men are fine ass hell but I think you chose wisely with Mark.” A woman in the bathroom said as we washed our hands in the sink. I applied more lip-gloss as I shook my head. Nicole grabbed a paper towel and nodded her head. This had bothered her immensely. His words had hurt her and I was ready to kick his ass.

  “Nicole, can I talk to you for a minute?” Jason asked reaching for her arm as we exited the bathroom. Mark emerged and I could see it was about to get physical if Jason didn’t go away soon. Nicole avoided his grasp.

  “There is nothing to say Jason. I returned your ring per your request. Have a nice life,” Nicole said taking Mark’s extended hand.

  “Nicole for real! How long is this going to last before they move on to someone else? Then you will be alone again.” Jason yelled.

  “Look here you pathetic bastard we love her and know how to love her so take that whack ass game somewhere else. You had your chance,” I spat as Mark doubled back.

  “I highly suggest you take that bleeding heart elsewhere. As I have already explained, I got this.” Mark looked ready to fight and being a millionth degree black belt Jason wouldn’t stand a chance. Nicole looked at the vicious scowls on our faces as we defended her and felt any love left for Jason had vanished.

  “Bye Jason,” Nicole said taking our hands as we made our way to the dance floor. We danced a song before finding our rhythm again. By the second song Jason was a distant memory when the music switched to salsa. Mark sensuously spun Nicole and I around the dance floor as our hips swayed and moved to the upbeat rhythms. Jovan and his buddies stopped to take in our sexy moves. Between Nicole’s long legs and my ample hips we made quite the delicious threesome.

  “One more drink and then it is home for some loving,” Mark announced as we made our way to the bar.

  “I agree,” Nicole answered back with the bright smile and love was plastered on her face. We were all flushed from the sexy dancing but that little incident solidified this and put any ghosts to rest.

  “To be a fly on that wall. I would pay dearly,” Jovan whispered to Mark. Mark laughed and shook his head adamantly.

  “You wouldn’t be able to handle the first five minutes, its too intense bro,” Mark whispered back. He admitted later that he liked the feel of everyone thinking he was a player.

  “Little blue pill intense?” Jovan answered back laughing. Mark threw his head back laughing hard. “Hell no man. I got this trust me all natural.”

  “Teach me oh wise one.” Jovan bowed in Mark’s direction as the two began laughing again. Nicole and I turned to face Mark who stopped laughing and pointed to Jovan. “He started it.”

  “I sure did, now what
ladies?” Jovan asked putting his sexiest moves on us. We pulled Jovan to the dance floor and gave him the freak down special as Mark watched.

  “Ralph take my picture so I can remember this forever,” Jovan screamed out as we double-teamed him with our sharp dance moves. Raphael snapped a picture of Nicole bent in front of Jovan while I brought up the rear. Nicole and I switched spots as I leisurely slid down Jovan and slowly brought my ass back up. I could see Mark’s nostrils flaring and shook my head side to side and he smiled. Jason walked past and released a torrent of dollar bills on us as we danced while he sipped his drink.

  “Dude these are not women you tip with dollars. These are women you buy cars, houses, and fur coats. Go on somewhere with that chump change,” Jovan yelled for all to hear. A few men close by agreed with Jovan. Mark was next to Jason with expedience. Nicole blew Mark a kiss and shook her head no as we continued to dance.

  “Nice strippers you have here,” Jason whispered in Mark’s ear. Mark whispered something to him and all the color drained from Jason’s face. Jason motioned for Nicole as the song ended. Mark joined Jovan and I on the dance floor as Nicole moved to speak to Jason. I looked worried but Mark assured me it was okay. When we left the dance floor we saw a few people pick up the money Jason bestowed upon us.

  “What did you say to him?” I asked Mark as I reached for my drink.

  “Nothing just some manly words of encouragement.” Mark replied sipping his drink. Nicole returned a short time later and was all smiles. I pulled her into my arms and plied her with kisses as Jovan and his boys gaped. Nicole greedily accepted my kisses as we freely made out. Mark paid our tab and while we continue to kiss, he grabbed our coats. Jovan, Damon, Raphael, and a few others watched the show until Mark returned with our coats.

  “Damn that was the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my life. I need to go home and be alone with myself,” Jovan said loudly. Nicole and I giggled as we put on our coats.

  “Next time you three are hanging out call a brother. I just want to be surrounded by these two fine ass women.” Jovan announced slapping Mark five before hugging us both.

  “Damn, Mark is a lucky man.”

  “We are the lucky ones for sure. My husband is amazing but thank you Jovan. You are a sweetheart,” I murmured.

  “We love you too Jovan,” Nicole said giving him a chaste kiss on the cheek. “It was nice meeting you all.” The three men watched as Mark escorted us out the door. Raphael watched us exit the nightclub collecting stares from a few men as we passed. “I have never been jealous of a man, until now,” Raphael exclaimed.

  Outside waiting for our car, I was treated to Nicole and Mark making out. When the car arrived I took the liberty of opening the rear passenger door. Mark and Nicole continued to make out while I slipped into the driver’s seat. I drove the way to our home rather than to Nicole’s apartment. I occasionally stole glances as Mark and Nicole continued to make out in the back seat of the car. Nicole straddled Mark and I could see his hands were gripping her ass while she kissed his neck. By the time I pulled into the garage Nicole was sucking Mark into absolute submission. My thong was completely soaked as I opened the passenger door. I immediately took my place assisting Nicole with the job at hand.

  “Oh fuck yes,” Mark groaned as we took turns licking and teasing his erection. Nicole slipped her hand underneath my dress snatching off my thong. She lifted my dress as she instructed me to, “Fuck our husband Eva.” Mark pushed his pants down further as I lowered myself onto his wonderful erection. I cried out as Nicole took her place next to us. She removed her thong and began touching herself.

  “Fuck me Eva,” Mark ordered smacking my ass. I kicked it into high gear riding my husband with gusto. I could hear both Nicole and my husband’s comingled grunts. I was beyond turned on and wanted more. I abruptly got off my husband’s lap, slithering out the rear passenger door. Inside our home I slipped gingerly out of my dress as Nicole and my husband followed close behind. I walked seductively up the spiral staircase to our bedroom as Mark and Nicole stared at my body. I freed my hair from the confines of the ponytail, shaking the long mane loose. Any remaining nerves I had about our little situation were now erased. I was completely confident when I pulled Nicole’s dress over her head pushing her down on our king-sized bed. Turning my attention to Mark I helped him to undress. I spent a few moments enjoying the taste of his mouth as our tongues connected. Nicole resumed touching herself and I politely moved her hand as my mouth took over.

  “Oh Eva,” Nicole cried out as I licked her creamy center. Mark watched as I devoured our beautiful conquest. I loved this woman and my husband so much. I only wanted to please them. Mark stood next to the bed stroking his arousal watching me work on Nicole.

  “That is the most beautiful sight. I love you two so much,” he whispered. Nicole tried to say that she loved him too but an orgasm surged threw her body. The stream of unintelligible words was accompanied with her legs violently shivering. I loved the visual of her body convulsing under my ministrations. I returned my attention to my husband’s very erect manhood. I initially sucked and teased him before he began to fuck my wanting mouth. Mark buried his hands in my hair as he pumped with purpose into my mouth. Nicole watched in awe as I took every inch of my husband down my throat with each thrust.

  “Oh E, that’s my girl yes. Take all of me,” Mark whimpered. “I am coming.” Mark’s grip on my hair doubled as he exploded into my mouth. I expertly swallowed every drop before he pulled out. The carnal gaze I gave Mark, as I looked up at him made him want to fuck me some more.

  “It looks like we need to please our baby,” Nicole said pulling me down to the bed. “You did such an amazing job of pleasing us.” Mark spread my legs wide as they devoured every inch of my ‘delicious pussy’, as Nicole put it earlier. They would not give up on me as I came more than once calling out both their names. After the dinner, dancing, drama, drinks, and wonderful lovemaking we enjoyed sleeping in late.

  In the early morning hours I heard tender epithets of love and lovemaking. Nicole and Mark were next to me slowly moving together. I can feel the passion erupting from the two of them and I am so happy that it brings tears to my eyes. I would never want Mark or Nicole for that matter to feel as if they could not have some semi-alone time to enjoy one another. I am sure at some point twosomes will happen as this relationship continues. I allow them their moment and drift back to sleep. All that dancing at the club has left my body beyond tired. When I wake a few hours later Nicole’s arm is draped over my body. I gently ease her arm back as she snuggles into Mark. I take a few minutes to look at my husband and girlfriend before disappearing into the bathroom. After a warm shower I feel refreshed, Mark and Nicole continue to slumber away. I layer two different color tank tops with a long peasant skirt and a pair comfy, oversized socks before leaving them to sleep.

  In the kitchen I cheerily make breakfast and cut up fresh fruit. I leave a note for Mark and Nicole along with breakfast in the microwave. A cup of green tea and my breakfast are appreciated inside my office. The slot on the front of the door is switched to “work in progress” that means do not disturb. Upon opening my laptop I am treated to several instant messages from my friends.

  Shantell: Hello, are you still among the living Eva?

  Amy: Hey buddy, have not heard from you! How are you doing?

  Cordelia: Have Mark give me a call, may need his architecture service $$$

  I send the same generic message to my friends.

  Eva: Sorry, Mark and I have been enjoying some nice honeymooning and dating. I will call you soon and fill you in. Love you E!

  I close out the screen before they reply.

  At least it wasn’t a complete lie. I normally talk to Shantell and Amy several times a week but the past six weeks have been sporadic and quick conversations. I know that I will have to call a Seventh Wonder in order to tell them about Nicole. I also fully expect them to go berserk and they probably will not understand. My goal was to intr
oduce Nicole to the kids and let them know what was going on first. If they absolutely objected there would be no need to tell my friends. I couldn’t even fathom that conclusion as my heart constricted with imagined pain. For the next few hours I immerse myself in writing. I have worked on the Seven Sisters series for so long that I really know I need a change of pace. In secret I have been publishing short stories in a few magazines under another pen name. I hope to put all these stories into an anthology someday. They are much more serious than my Seven Sisters books and I am not sure how they will be received by my regular fan base. So far I have been assured from those magazines that they have been a hit. I feel inspired and write several new stories.

  The knock at the door surprises me and I think it’s a mistake at first. But when it happens again I get out of my chair to open the door.

  “Sorry I know you are working but Mark is watching football and as much as I love him, I can’t keep watching football. It is so boring,” Nicole hurriedly explained. I smile and shake my head with understanding as I let her into my very private space. Nicole takes in the décor and my personal effects. The many articles, stories, and first editions of my books in print are scattered about my office.

  “What are you working on?” Nicole asked looking at my MacBook computer.

  “Just a few articles for some magazines. Some side work to keep me from going crazy when I am not writing a Seven Sisters novel,” I respond. It feels weird having her in my private space. Mark hardly comes in this room. The kids know it is absolutely off limits. Mark built this room especially for me when we designed our home.

  “Does it bother you that I am in here?” Nicole perceptively asked as she stops her short tour. I look at her delicate face and shake my head in the affirmative. She has been in an even more private space my bed but this feels different.

  “I am the only one that normally comes in here. I feel like all my thoughts and ideas are in this one room. It feels personal even though you have been in my bed.” I tried to explain but for a writer I wasn’t doing a great job with my words. I sat down in my chair and turned to my computer. Nicole moved my laptop out of the way as she sat on my desk in front of me. Nicole extended her hand to me and I stand in front of her watching her watching me.
