Chapter 8

After the weekend at the lake, Ruth and Penny kept Michael entertained for most of the week. Claire didn’t mind. Work had been grueling, and she was getting home late. She was content to have Michael sleep near her at night. Sleeping together became routine right after they were back from their weekend at the lake. However, Claire did ban him from the bedroom on Thursday night because she was bringing Gary home with her.

It was Saturday night and time for their bi-weekly poker game. Claire was in the kitchen with Ruth, preparing hors d´oeuvres while Michael and Bill set up the poker table. Claire had not seen Ruth all week, so this was their first chance to talk. Penny came in and went to the fridge to get out two beers and a wine cooler and went back to the living room.

In a low whisper, Ruth said: “I know Penny and I have been monopolizing Michael. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I had a friend come over Thursday night. He took very good care of me.”

Ruth’s eyebrows went up as she asked the inevitable question, “Who is it, if I may ask?”

“He’s a bartender at Bernie’s Pub and Grill. We get together occasionally

“I go there every so often. Which one?”

“Gary.”

Ruth sounded impressed, “The really good-looking one that can’t be much older than Mike?”

Claire had to smile and lick her lips seductively to rub it in, “That’s the one.”

“You lucky bitch. If it wasn’t for Mike, I might have dragged him home with me a long time ago.”

To further tease Ruth, she told her of their plans for Tomorrow, “He has this Sunday off. I invited him to come over tomorrow afternoon.”

“What does Mike think about you and Gary? Not that he should complain.”

“He is fine with it. As a matter of fact, they have become friends.”

They finished preparing the hors d´oeuvres and brought them out to the sideboard.

Michael dealt the first hand, and the game was on. Ruth could not draw a decent hand and had to drop out after an hour of play. Claire lasted another forty-five minutes. She needed to learn not to bluff with close friends and family.

Claire went to the kitchen to play barmaid, and Ruth followed her. Ruth twisted off the tops on a couple of beers and poured them into pilsners while Claire mixed a gin and tonic for herself.

Ruth stood close to Claire and spoke softly, “You said Gary is coming over tomorrow afternoon?”

Claire could see that naughty look in Ruth’s eyes, “What are you thinking, Ruth?”

“Bill is playing golf tomorrow, and I just thought ... you know?”

It didn’t take a lot of imagination to know what Ruth was thinking, “I’ll talk to him and see if he is interested in a three-way. I don’t see any reason that he wouldn’t be, but it’s best to ask first. I’ll call you and let you know after he gets here. We will wait for you if he is interested.”

Ruth hugged Claire and kissed her on the lips, and squeezed her ass. Of course, Claire was not going to miss the opportunity to kiss her back and fondle her boobs. They broke apart and tried unsuccessfully not to laugh.

Midnight rolled around, and it was the official quitting time for the game. Bill, Michael, and Penny were still in the game, but Michael had the biggest pile of coins.

On Sunday morning, Claire had breakfast and then straightened up the bedroom. Around 10:30, she took a leisurely bubble bath and shaved her legs. Michael and Penny had plans for the afternoon, and so did she. Claire dressed casually. Just a plain white blouse and tan slacks. She wasn’t about to wear anything as unnecessary as pantyhose for this afternoon’s activities. She couldn’t wait to see Gary’s face when he found out two women were willing to open their legs for him today.

Gary rang the doorbell a few minutes before 12:30 pm. Claire invited him and asked what he wanted to drink. She went to the kitchen. When she came back, Gary was sitting on the couch. She handed him a Miller Light as she sat with him. They talked for a few minutes before Claire asked him if he was interested in meeting one of her girlfriends for a bit of fun. Of course, Gary didn’t take much convincing and ten minutes later, Claire was calling Ruth to let her know that they would be waiting for her.

Twenty minutes later, Claire invited Ruth in. They kissed in the foyer, giving Gary a preview of what he might be involved with that day. Claire introduced Gary to Ruth, “Gary, this is my friend Ruth.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Ruth. I think I have seen you at the pub.” Apparently, Gary had taken notice of Ruth before today.

“I drop in there occasionally.”

“Do you two do this often?” Gary asked out of curiosity.

Ruth put her arm around Claire and kissed her on the lips. “Claire and I are very good friends. We both like men, and occasionally we share a bed. We have shared a man before. But no. we don’t do this very often.” Ruth kissed Gary, “But that’s not to say we won’t do it more often in the future. Isn’t that right, Claire?”

Claire didn’t dispute that prophecy, “Stranger things have happened.” Ruth laughed knowingly.

“Can I get you a drink, Ruth?”

“Wine would be nice, white if you have it.”

“Beer. Wine or something stronger, Gary?” Claire offered.

“Another beer would be great.”

“Keep him company, Claire. Go into the living room and get comfortable. I will be right back with the drinks.”

Claire came back into the living room with a beer, two wine glasses and a bottle of wine on a tray and set it on the coffee table. She handed Gary his beer and poured the wine. She handed Ruth a glass of Chardonnay.

Claire sat in her favorite chair and crossed her legs as she sipped her wine. Ruth was sitting on the couch with Gary. This would be Claire’s fourth time with Gary, so she thought she should let Ruth get to know him a little better before they took him to bed.

Claire listened as they talked about the usual things people talk about when getting to know each other. Gary was a bit surprised when Ruth told him she was very happily married. He had assumed she was divorced or single like Claire.

Ruth got the party started when she put her hand on Gary’s thigh and asked him if he had ever been with two women before.

Gary shook his head as he answered, “No, but I’m looking forward to it.”

When Gary finished his beer, Claire stood up and took charge, “Hey, guys, let’s take this up to the bedroom.”

Gary was all smiles as he watched Ruth and Claire strip down to their panties. Of course, they were watching him as he slipped his briefs off and displayed his erection.

Claire pulled back the cover on the bed and got in. “Come on, Gary. Get in here. You’re in the middle.”

Gary followed Claire’s instructions, got on the bed and lay down beside her. Ruth followed him in and lay on her side and immediately ran her hand over his chest and kissed him. Ruth and Claire pressed themselves against his side and ran their hand over his chest and legs. Claire was first to take his cock in her hand and stroke him. Gary put an arm around each of his lovers and closed his eyes so he could fully appreciate the touch of these two lovely women as they kissed his lips, his chest and sucked his nipples. The kisses moved lower to his midriff, the top of his thighs, his cock. Gary opened his eyes and watched Ruth take his cock into her mouth. A gasp escaped Gary’s lips as Ruth licked and sucked.

“You like that, Gary? From what I hear, she is very good at that.”

“God, yes, I love it.”

Ruth’s head came up from Gary’s hard cock, “Do you mind if I go first, Claire?”
