Take Care of Me

  ***********

  Alyson was excited. Dr. Swenson had said he had a surprise for her. They had been seeing each other off and on for almost a year. He was married, but living in the basement of the house he shared with his wife and kids. She felt like she might be in love with him; but knew that being with a married man was wrong. So she tried to date other guys, but ended up just finding jerks. Or guys like Nick who were only interested in sleeping with her once or twice and then dumping her before it got serious.

  She would love to be a doctor’s wife. Larry Swenson was very attractive. He was lean and muscular. He still had that frat boy smile even though he was almost 40. He reminded her of Nick a little bit; which made her tingle all over.

  Alyson couldn’t help but hope that he was going to say that he was leaving his wife. That would be the best surprise to her. She envisioned him moving in with her until they could get his divorce finalized and the custody situation with his two kids worked out. Then they would get a townhouse maybe in Georgetown.

  She could become a wife and mother in one fell swoop. The idea excited her. So when she walked into Larry’s office and he picked her up, swirled her around and kissed her, she thought this was it.

  “I’ve got the best news.” Larry said excitedly.

  Alyson beamed up him waiting for him to say he was leaving his wife. But instead he was saying something she never expected.  

  “My buddy Brian is good for a three way.” Larry was practically hysterical he was so happy.

  “What?” Alyson was so shocked that it wasn’t the proposal she thought it would be; she couldn’t understand what he was saying.

  “I know we only talked about it that one time, but you said you would go for a three way with another guy.” Larry was like a kid at Christmas and it was extremely disturbing to Alyson. She had gone along with his fantasy because she wanted to be more appealing to him, to make him fall in love with her. She never thought he would want to go through with it.

  “I’ve got a couple of other buddy’s that would be into it especially after I showed them those pictures of you in the red nightie. But they also want some man on man action and I’m not into that. Good for them, just not my thing.” Larry frowned a little, but immediately brightened.

  He was nuzzling her neck as he was saying, “And I’ve got an OR cleared so we can do it at the hospital like you said.”

  Alyson was stunned. The idea of being in a public place having sex had tantalized her, but it was only a fantasy. Not one she really ever expected to have happen. And he had shown her pictures to other men? Alyson was in shock. Her silence finally penetrated his glee.

  Larry became abrasive, “What? So you’re not happy? Don’t tell me you’re going to back out of this, just when I got everything all worked out?”

  Alyson was automatically saying, “No I’m not backing out.”

  The smile was back on Larry’s face. “Well good. It’s going to be wicked fun. I haven’t had a good three way since college.”

  Alyson’s head was spinning. Larry wanted her to have sex with some guy she didn’t know. How was she going to do this?  If she didn’t he was going to be pissed and she might lose him. It was just so hard to find someone. She was going to have to go through with this, but she was going to make sure that he left his wife. If she was willing to do this, then he had to give her something.

  “How soon is this supposed to happen?” Alyson asked.

  “He’s only in town tomorrow.” Larry said.

  “Tomorrow!” Alyson exclaimed.

  “Which is why I’m so excited. I didn’t think this was going to happen. It means so much that you’re into this. My wife never wants to do anything fun anymore. She was a wildcat when we were dating but ever since she had the kids we don’t do anything.” Larry sounded sad.

  “Well if I was your wife, I’d do anything to make sure you were happy.” Alyson dropped the hint hoping he would pick it up.

  “Marriage ruins everything. As soon as I’m free and clear I’m never getting shackled again.” Larry swore vehemently.

  Alyson didn’t say anything; she felt if she could do this for him, he would change his mind. Dating was so hard.

  The next day Alyson was excited and dreading the three-way at the same time. It was a fantasy that she never expected to have come true, but felt  somewhat betrayed at how Larry had arranged it. The fact that he was showing her private pictures made her angry. And she was starting to wonder if it would make a difference to Larry if she did this or not. She just kept hoping that if she did enough to please him he would fall madly in love with her and leave his wife.

  They all met in Larry’s office. His friend Brian wasn’t a looker by any means, but it didn’t matter. Larry pulled out a flask and offered everyone a swig. “I little liquid courage never hurt.”

  They sat and chatted and Alyson felt the whole situation was surreal. When they moved to the OR that Larry had set aside for their tryst Alyson felt like she wanted to just back out and tell them to forget it. But a little voice in her head said she would be giving up her chance to have someone.

  Brian started by kissing her and his mouth tasted like what she would imagine dirty socks to taste like. So she broke the kiss and took another swig from the flask of whiskey that Larry had. She dropped to her knees and figured she might as well get this over with.

  Both men were clearly excited by what was happening so Alyson decided to just go for it. And for the next hour and a half they groped, fondled and did every position the two men could contort her body into doing. She had an orgasm, she couldn’t help it. She did enjoy being with Larry and wanted so much for it to be just the two of them. But if this is what it took to get him to love her she would do it.

  They got dressed afterwards. Larry and Brian actually high fived each other before Brian left. It made Alyson feel sick.

  “Babe that was so good. Next time Brian’s in town we’ll have to get a hotel room. Maybe do a whole weekend.” Larry was oblivious to the horrified expression that flitted across Alyson’s face.

  “You want to do it again with him?” Alyson asked.

  Larry took in her tone and thought she just didn’t find Brian attractive. “Well I can see if I can find somebody else that you might think is hot. We’ll find somebody together this time.”

  Alyson couldn’t believe what she was hearing, but really what should she expect. “Are you going to leave your wife?”

  Larry shrugged, “I don’t know we’ve got a pretty sweet deal going here. Why change it?”

  Alyson nodded her head. “So you just want to pass me around to your friends, stay with your wife and kids and screw me whenever you have time?”

  “Whoa babe, don’t put it like that! You like it too. You’re into this just as much as I am. You came just the same as I did!” Larry said tightly.

  “The difference is that I don’t consider you a piece of meat. I actually cared about you. Had hoped you would leave your wife and marry me.” Alyson said coldly.

  “I never promised to marry you. If I leave my wife I still won’t marry you.” Larry folded his arms over his chest.

  “I see.” Alyson felt stupid. But she had seen this coming. “Well I think this is it for us Larry. What I would suggest though…” Alyson got up from her seat and walked over to retrieve her purse. She picked up her cell phone and showed it to him. It was a video of their three-way session with Brian. “You should delete any pictures of me or this lovely video might just find its way to your wife.”

  With that she walked out the door and never looked back. Tears were streaming down her face, but Larry didn’t see.
