Chapter 3

“I didn’t sleep very well last night, Rebeccah,” Krissy Waldron said as she sat down at the table with her coffee, “seems like you didn’t either.”

Rebeccah knew that her mother had an idea of what had happened last night. She would never have said anything like she did if she hadn’t known that her daughter was in Morgan’s apartment after he left, and they had gone to bed.

“I’m not upset with you, Rebeccah if that’s the reason for the guilty look.” Her daughter’s face began turning bright red. “Morgan certainly had eyes for you last night. But I wouldn’t be honest with you, Honey, if I didn’t think that throwing pebbles against his window in the middle of the night wasn’t just a little over the top. And you were standing outside NAKED, tsk.”

Tears brimmed over Rebeccah’s lower eyelids as she replied in a ragged voice, “I did it for you, Mom.”

Krissy should have been thankful for her daughter’s stated intent as she thought, she is so much like Martha was. Her twin sister Martha had said the same thing to her so many years ago when she had put her together with the man who would become her husband (Martha was dating Doug Waldron at the time). The twin sisters shared everything no matter how intimate. She was the one who told Krissy what a marvelous lover Doug was. When Martha finally introduced Doug to Krissy the connection was magic. The image of Martha going down on her husband filled Krissy’s mind as it had so many times since the ghastly accident. Like always she thought If Martha had not gone down on Doug that night while he had been driving, they would still be alive.

Doug Waldron was a clothing salesman for a large soft goods company. At the beginning of the major seasons (summer and winter), he packed up his minivan with sample bags full of clothing and went on the road to present his merchandise in hotel showrooms across Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In cities like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Charleston West Virginia he would spend a week with buyers of various stores and chains selling clothes for the next season. After getting married he and Krissy traveled together for three years before she got pregnant with Rebeccah. In the clothing trade that arrangement wasn’t uncommon for young married couples and couples whose children had grown up and were no longer in the house. What was uncommon was the role Krissy played in the selling process. She was an extremely attractive woman, quite shy but had a magnetic effect on most of the men who bought clothes from Doug.

Her role in enhancing her husband’s success began just after they got back from their honeymoon. Vince Bamberg of the Bon Marche, Doug’s most important customer, came to the showroom at 9:30 a.m. on a Friday. The session went longer than it ever had before, going well past 6:00 pm, then continued at dinner in the hotel restaurant. What was unusual was that where Bamberg usually split his business between three suppliers, he gave all of his business to Doug. It amounted to triple the amount of any business he’d ever written and was the largest order that Doug or any Whitaker Brothers salesman had ever written before. Doug’s commission from that order alone would see him through the year regardless of what other business he might have done with any other customer.

Over the years Doug had developed an outstanding relationship with Vince, they were friends beyond the usual business sense. Their closeness often spilled over to their personal lives like when Bamberger attended Doug and Krissy’s wedding and he was introduced to Martha. Bamberg’s wife didn’t make the trip. Being a player, he ended up spending the night with Krissy’s twin in his hotel room. Doug and Krissy were in the bridal suite of the same hotel.

As twins, Krissy and Martha shared strange E.S.P. that often caused them to experience sensations of what their twin was feeling at the moment. On the night of their wedding while she and Doug were making love in their wedding bed Krissy felt the erotic activity being enjoyed by Martha with Vincent in another room. What she felt enhanced her excitement with Doug and made Krissy aware that Bamberg was an intense and well-practiced lover who made her wedding night an even more magical and memorable experience than it otherwise would have been.

Krissy had always been the quiet twin, Martha the extrovert. From puberty, Martha enjoyed sex so much that she became promiscuous during her school years. Because of her uninhibited sexuality, she helped her shy sister develop a better understanding of her sexuality. During Martha’s sexual activities, Krissy often experienced feelings she didn’t understand, sensations that could only be alleviated through excessive masturbation. It was only on the night of her wedding that she realized that what was happening with Martha and Vincent in another room were the same feelings she was experiencing as she and her new husband copulated. It was as if disjointed group sex was being played out in the two different rooms. As she finally began to understand the unusual nature of her horniness, she gave her husband unexpected treats. Doug, who thought of Krissy as a demure, shy woman, couldn’t believe how wild she was in their wedding bed and going forward.

Before their first appointment on the road with the Bon Marche buyer, Krissy was nervous about meeting Vince Bamberg again. Though she was sure he had no idea of what she’d felt that night she saw him as a fantasy lover who could be experienced in the flesh. Vince, having had great sex with Martha was distracted as he began writing what he had intended to be his regular order. But as Martha’s identical twin kept staring at him with curious eyes, he relived memorable moments of that night and kept adding to the order to keep those feelings alive. What he intended to order became larger as he thought could she be as good in bed as her sister? while recreating some of those spectacular moments.

From the time they started working the line that day, Vincent kept undressing Krissy in his mind and redressing her in another outfit. Surprised that Bamberg ordered every sample he viewed Doug didn’t realize that Vince’s thoughts were influenced by fantasies of kissing Krissy: fondling her breasts, Krissy sucking his cock and her pussy being splayed open for the delight of his tongue. The quantity of every item seemed tied to a sexual act with her. Some of the imagined acts included Martha as the third part of a sexual sandwich.

Though not realizing Vincent’s sexual thoughts Krissy was aware that he was mentally undressing her. Ordinarily, she would have been offended by a man doing such a thing. But recognizing the sheer volume of business that was being written she thought it might have had something to do with the memorable evening that Bamberg spent with Martha. Of course, she was the only one who knew how memorable it was for her. As his intense ogling continued, she began thinking he might be hoping that she might reward him for being so generous to her husband. She remembered having breakfast with Martha and Vincent the morning after the wedding and thinking that Vincent was a wicked man for cheating on his wife. It was obvious though that Martha gloried in it, and for some reason that excited Krissy. She was a virgin at her wedding, frightened that she wouldn’t be a good lover to her groom. Influenced by her twin sister’s vibes, she, unlike anything she had ever done before, became a tigress, repeatedly insisting that Doug do more to her.

Based on the signals she had been getting from her sister’s sexual manifestations with Bamberg that night it seemed to her that Vincent must have been a much better lover than Doug. Before Martha introduced Krissy to Doug, she’d told her that he was a fabulous lover. But on her wedding night, it wasn’t what she had expected. As a virgin the sex for her was great. But from the way Martha talked about the exciting sex she had with Doug, there was little in her new husband’s wedding night performance that compared to what her sister had hyped. During the post-wedding breakfast each time Bamberg looked at her with flirting eyes her pulse quickened, and she felt another wave of vaginal moisture.

During the buying session, Vince made most of his eye contact with Doug, but Krissy couldn’t help being aware that he was stealing meaningful, secretive glances at her which she couldn’t ignore. At first, she was put off by the flirty glances, fearful that her husband might become jealous and foolishly do something that could jeopardize the buying session. Then, aware that her husband didn’t seem to be paying attention she began flirting back as she thought I wonder if Vince is comparing me to Martha. It was common for people to try and piece together how twins could look the same. But Vince, it was more than that. Each time he looked at her his nostrils flared, or his hand quivered as he made notes.

At first, when Krissy saw her normally stoic husband Adam’s apple bobbing at the large numbers Vincent was writing down, she realized that Bamberg was doing it on purpose. He seemed to enjoy how Doug’s whole body would tense each time which made her think, He’s showing off for my benefit, resenting that he was exerting this kind of power over her husband. At the same time, she realized that his power turned her on, for which she felt guilty.

Being shy, she had never recognized that males had often competed for her attention. But as Vince’s focus on her crystallized, she reflected on what she saw him doing and wordlessly encouraged him in a way that only a shy and demure woman could be comfortable doing. Ecstatic about her husband’s successful session she thought I think I’m being helpful. She sensed that Vince liked her, that maybe because his friend’s wife was present at the buying session, he was being more generous because she was there. But she had no idea that she could be leading the buyer on. Had she been sophisticated she would have known that this kind of flirting drives men crazy. She had no idea where it might go. But liked how much it aroused her, even fantasizing that something wicked adventure, like what had gone on in the other room with her sister on her wedding night, might happen.

Each time during the buying session when she felt like a bump on a log Vince would hold up a garment the Doug was showing him to ask her opinion. to ask her opinion. When she frowned and shook her head he said to Doug, “It’s good to see that your wife is honest enough to not push questionable items at me.” To her, he said, “Thanks Krissy,” always with a smile, sometimes with a wink. It got to the point where he would only pick up a piece that any woman would shake her head at to get Krissy’s opinion. Dutifully, she would shake her head or comment, “No, I don’t think it would work for your shoppers, Vince.” In this way, they culled out the undesirable numbers that Doug’s company was trying to get rid of. It made her feel she was part of the business, a business of which she knew extraordinarily little ... other than styles.

As the day wore on, she caught every glance he was making. She knew her husband finally noticed too. Never once though did he seem uncomfortable. Careful not to flirt back too enthusiastically at Vinces’ flirtation; she didn’t want to upset her husband. She had no idea that Doug’s eyes had turned into calculators that were adding up the incredible amount of goods the Bon Marche buyer was ordering. It was like she had been given tacit approval to respond more aggressively which, for a person as shy as Krissy, gave her a sense of empowerment.

As she experienced Vince’s playful eyes she recalled the erotic signals mysteriously transmitted to her on her wedding night from her twin’s body when she and Vince made love in the room next to theirs. With each impulse, she imagined the naked man with her undressed sister. Twice during that working day, the panel of her panties had become so wet that she had to leave the room to change them. With each change, she masturbated while fantasizing about what Vincent might feel like inside her vagina (Martha told her he was quite large).

By the time five o’clock rolled around, they had finished writing huge orders for the season. Vincent finally said, “Well, don’t you think we deserve a bit of rest and recreation from all this work?”

What Krissy didn’t know was that when Doug usually worked with Vincent “rest and recreation” meant a good dinner, drinks, and a girl or girls. Doug had been on the road long enough to have met the kind of girls that enjoyed playing, sometimes individually with Vince and sometimes in a threesome. She noticed a troubled look clouding her husband’s face. Vince noticed it too when he said, “Don’t worry about it buddy, we’ll work it out.”

Not knowing what Bamberg meant Krissy became confused and on edge. She wondered if her husband might have brought her along specifically as a playmate for this buyer ... or was she there just as a spice for the meal. Her feelings were complicated by the awkward body language of her husband. Breaking the growing tension Vincent said, “Why don’t we all go down to the lounge and relax for a bit then have a nice dinner before we call it a night.”
