Chapter 23: Trip from Aspen to Bedford

Josh and I slept together that night. I think the other four swapped spouses; however, the two of us wanted to be together. We weren’t keeping score but we both agreed we’d had a surfeit of orgasms on this vacation, particularly after his sister, her husband, and their best friends had arrived at Eagle Pines.

The next day, Josh and I talked about recreational sex and agreed that we couldn’t just walk into a room, pick up a stranger and fuck them. Instead, there had to be some pre-existing connection and a warm relationship with the other person, hopefully some kind of love interest. We wanted there to be a ‘happy’ morning after too – a continuing and joyous relationship.

I explained that I needed to feel ‘love’ at some level for my partner – male or female. We talked about how I’d been so quick to fall for Josh before we made love and then only a couple of days later with his sisters and Stacy – Fiona’s wife – and then, in Mexico, my time with Ray...

I had to admit that I was ‘ripe’ for a relationship, although I denied it at the time. I’d broken up with my previous boyfriend about nine months earlier and had sworn off men, and then I met Josh. He swept me off my feet – he could have swept any girl off her feet but he chose me to be his ’temporary girlfriend’!

I confessed to a near immediate willingness to lie down and spread my legs for him. He laughed but told me he felt the same way about me. Love at first sight.

He asked me, “Then why did you and Stacy and my sisters all get it on so fast? And then, here you are with Beth and Katelyn?”

I had to analyze what I felt when I’d first met Katelyn and Fiona, and almost immediately thereafter Stacy. We’d quickly tantalized each other with some of our sexual escapades and then teased each other and Josh during Fiona’s wedding rehearsal dinner.

I answered Josh, “I think this is what I felt. I’d already fallen for you – in a big way. I guess I knew you’d fallen for me too and we’d played that afternoon in the Mile-High Club in the jet. By association, I knew I’d love your sisters. They were immediately so open with me and so was Stacy – I think of her as one of the sisters. Thus, when we teased and shared stories I could be totally open with them. Plus, there’s nothing I wouldn’t share with you – no secrets, although I do have some erotic things I’ve done in my past that I haven’t fully shared with you yet.”

Josh’s eyebrows went up in a questioning arch. I ignored his invitation to share further.

I went on, “I learned the next day that Fiona, Katelyn and Stacy liked me – a lot, and not just as a sex object – although that was a nice way to be remembered. I told you about how we kissed and rubbed each other in the spa. I was so in heat by the actual wedding I could have really embarrassed myself if you hadn’t been there. That night, back at Eagle Pines, Stacy joined us. I already loved her and knew she’d be a part of our lives for a long time.”

“And my sisters?” Josh asked.

“Them too,” I said. “They’d watched us make love by the fireplace the night before as they made love up on the balcony above us. I could see them, but you didn’t know they were there. I knew they cared for us on many different levels. By the time we got to Mexico with Ray, Fiona and Stacy, I just wanted some kind of culmination to what I was feeling – some closure. The sex – no, the making love, even with the games – gave me the closure and validated the love we felt for each other. I miss them all when they’re not around.

“Even further, I knew as we went to Puerto Vallarta that I wanted you to be with Fiona and Stacy some more. I wanted you to make love to them – to have sex. That was going to be part of my closure for the time we spent at the wedding.”

Josh asked, “How’d you feel about Doug and Beth? This was the first time we’ve been with them,”

“Remember we’d made connection with Carl and Katelyn in September up here – just as we did with Fiona and family in Mexico. While we were here then we talked a lot about Doug and Beth and what they were like, their values, how they thought about people and love. Katelyn is very observant – and particular. By association I knew I’d love them as soon as we could get together. Just the way the others were, they were my kind of people.”
