Chapter 39: Marriage Reformation

Apparently, my sister-in-law was savvier than I realized. Her proposal to my brother to start of polyamorous group to help get their relationship in a higher gear was shock to my brother, Doug. I could see him waffling about what to say.

Sheri shook her head, and then leaned in and kissed him. She turned to me, “Steve, I’m not the catch I used to be – more hips, a little cellulite here and there, but you’d make love with me, wouldn’t you?” As she talked she ran her hands down her sides and smoothed her skirt in a sexy way. I gulped. This was a sudden change of heart.

Her question stopped me in my tracks. The question was loaded like a ticking nuclear bomb. I liked my sister-in-law. I’d even fantasized about fucking her a few times, particularly when she was a little younger and I saw her in a bathing suit, but I’d erected some really high barriers in my head about doing anything with her or even flirting with her, despite what I often saw as attempts by her to flirt with me back then.

I tried to answer her in a diplomatic way, “Errr, I ... you ... you’re very attractive, and I’ve always thought that since I met you before you guys got married, but ... you need to get your own affairs in order, ... yes, that’s it, sort out your own relationship and get that on a steady track before branching out with others.”

Doug shook his head up and down agreeing with me in a strong way. He turned to Sheri, “Steve’s right. Let’s be sure of how we feel before inviting any others into our marriage, if we ever even decide we want to.”

I could see Ally lighting up with her impish look. She was about to do something full of mischief. She got up from her chair, and went and sat beside Doug, getting as close to him as she could. Sheri watched her with interest and curiosity. With one hand Ally started to rub Doug’s chest, while the other went up to back of his head and neck in a ‘romantic’ manner. She leaned in and kissed him on the mouth, and as she got his attention we could all see her tongue worm its way into his mouth. After about a minute or more of a very long French kiss the pair pulled apart slightly.

Doug was panting and blushing at the same time. I could see that Ally had scrambled his brain. He looked at Sheri with a worried look, but she was smiling in a warm way with him.

Ally said in a sultry and vampish voice, “I think you’re sexy ... a little priggish, but sexy, and when you’re ready to have someone join you – to have you sink this into their warm body, I’d like to be at the head of the line.” Ally dropped one hand down to Doug’s crotch and lightly rubbed his manhood. Doug’s eyes got about as big as saucers and he scrambled to push her hand away. I almost laughed out loud because Ally was being such a bad little girl. I could see Fran stifling a laugh, too.

1 again looked at Sheri, but she was almost laughing, too. I think she finally realized how much teasing was going on and how much we were trying to shock them with each of our statements. All of them were true, but the delivery was a little blunt.

She said to Ally, “See if you can convince him. I’m serious, and I don’t need any ‘think’ time. I know our marriage is strong and I don’t plan on wandering about to find some other guy ... well, unless Doug keeps ignoring me the way he has. The best thing he could do now would be to tell me to make love with Steve, and then he does something with Ally – or you other girls – and then we compare notes about how we feel, and reconnect with each other on a new basis. Maybe we’d even learn something to bring to our marriage that will put the missing ‘zip’ back into it.”

Doug looked shocked, “You really think THAT will improve our marriage?”

Sheri nodded emphatically, “Yes, and if you think about it, you do, too. I want to do something right now that will jar us out of the rut we’ve been in. Hell, that’s why I came with you to Boston. I wanted to be with you – to shock you back into being in love with me again, not treating me as though I’m a convenience where you live. We’ve been in Boston four days and I think I’ve been more of an obligation to you than a loving traveling companion. Making love to other people could turn that around in just the right way, particularly since it’s in the family – your brother and his fiancées.” She glanced over at us and I caught the edge of a genuine smile.

Doug stood up and in an irritated tone said, “Sheri, we need to take a walk, right now.” He said, “Excuse us, please,” and moved to where Sheri stood and then practically dragged her out the front door seconds later. We heard the door click, and a moment later the bell on the elevator dinged as it arrived to take them to the ground floor.

The room was very quiet. Ally said, “Did I push them too much?”
