Destinbury

"Yes I did. I haven't been up very long at all."

"I know, I was awake when you went out. How is Char?"

"She seems much better, but help me watch her and keep her from doing anything, or at least very much. She has help lined up, so she doesn't have any need to be tearing around cleaning everything."

"I'll keep an eye on her."

"When is Jean planning on being here?"

"By ten or so, why?"

"I just want to be sure I have a chance to talk to her before things get too busy."

"With your family you may have to lock yourselves in the bathroom."

"Good idea. I wonder if she's ever made out with the groom before at a wedding."

"Now you're going to behave. Repeat that after me, you're going to behave."

"I'm going to try to behave. Sorry, that's the best I can do."

She sat up and he handed the coffee to her, and then sat on the edge of the bed right behind her. "I love you honey, and I wish we were already married."

"Really? Just want it over?"

"I just want to be married to you."

"You're making me very happy saying those sweet things."

"I mean what I'm saying."

"Did you enjoy being so cuddly with Eva again?"

"I did, did that bother you?"

"My God, no that didn't bother me. I think she's a great woman and so strong and put together."

"That's Eva for sure."

"She might just want to be naked for you again."

"She can do that anytime and nobody here would think anything about that."

"Oh that's right, but nobody was naked last night."

"I'm sure they didn't know who might pop in, so they did that for you and me."

"They're all pretty special. Very screwed up, but very special."

"You know all of them so well."

After a quick kiss, Molly said, "By the way honey, I was just playing with you last night. I do have something special lined up for you for tonight, and it wasn't all that easy to arrange."

"Is that right. Oh, and when will your parents be here?"

"Stan and Helen, I'm saying that to help you remember their names, will be here about noon, so a couple of hours before the ceremony. They're pretty nervous about meeting you and so many members of your family."

"Were you able to tactfully warn them about my nutty clan?"

"I tried, but I don't know that I did a lot of good. They won't stay a long time, so we'll want to go see them once things settle down."

"That would be a good thing to do, but let's be sure to meet them at the door so we can have a minute with them in the foyer."

"That would be a very nice thing to do."

"Molly, we're getting married, we don't have any parties to worry about, and nothing on the horizon for us to be concerned with, so I'd say our lives are finally settling down and I'm good with that."

Chapter Two Hundred Fifty Nine

Owen and Molly took turns watching for Stan and Helen, so when Molly called out for Owen, he was there in seconds and they had the door open before Stan and Helen hit the bottom step. Smiles, handshakes and hugs all around and Owen almost fell over himself apologizing for not making more of an effort to meet them, but Stan was gracious saying, "We're gone so much and with your schedule I can see why we didn't connect.

"Owen, you...well you and Molly have such a beautiful home."

"Thank you Helen, Molly and I will show you around later."

"When Molly first told us about you some...oh honey, how long ago was that?"

"Oh...well yes, that," and she smiled at Owen before admitting, "That was several months ago at least."

Owen just smiled as Helen said, "Well we could see there was more than a friendship brewing and we couldn't have been happier."

"Mom and Dad had a fear that I would die alone and single."

"I'm certainly glad I managed to wiggle my way into her life. Now my family is genuinely warm and caring, but they can be boisterous and there are almost too many even for this large home."

"We're eager to meet them," Stan lied, and Molly kissed his cheek.

To Owen's pleasant surprise, his gang slowed down, talked quieter and were totally charming, and Molly managed to catch Owen's attention and gave him a subtle thumbs up sign.

Char, in a slightly short dress and heels made sure everybody was supplied with something to drink and snacks abounded, but other than that, she tucked herself into the kitchen and rested. When Molly checked on her at one point, Char told her, "I'm doing great, but that medicine has a tendency to slow me down a little."

"Just don't fight it okay? If we need something, I'll get it and you just have it on the table okay? Please?"

"I really hate that."

"I understand, but you're old enough to know we sometimes have to do things we hate."

"Thank you mother," and they shared smiles.

Owen still had a few minutes to talk to Stan at the bar, and Owen was again asked, "How did you ever end up with this huge home?"

"Stan, it's one of those, a few hours either way and I would have missed the chance. I was in the right place at the right time and I wasn't even working hard to find a place. It was on my mind, but I didn't know what I wanted or where I wanted to live. This home was on the verge of going back to the bank and the previous owners would have lost everything for all intents. I stepped in and without time to even really consider all angles, I managed to pick it up for about sixty five or seventy cents on the dollar, and they had to pay the back taxes, which amounted to a fair chunk of money. The day will come when we'll sell, and we'll do very well, but for now, Molly and I love it here, and we want some time together to just enjoy it until we really know what we want."

"That sounds like that was a once in a lifetime chance."

"It certainly was. It's a handful to keep up with, but I'm sure Molly mentioned that we host high end parties on occasion, and we'll make enough to cover most if not all of the maintenance and operating costs."

"That would be a major help I'm sure."

"Very much so."

"Helen and I own a chain of...well a very small chain, of art supply stores between here and the Carolinas, so that's part of what keeps us on the run."

"I'll bet it could."

"Of course some of that is for fun as well as business."

"Good for you."

Helen joined them, and to Owen's surprise, she put her arm around his waist saying, "You were far too worried about your family. They are utterly charming and pleasant."

"Well thank you Helen, I'm glad you think so. I do know they think Molly can walk on water."

"Yes, I could see how well they were all getting along. Stan and I are so very glad you and Molly got together. She needs structure in her life."

Owen kissed her cheek as his arm went around her waist as he told her, "I think we all need a little structure Helen." In truth, Owen didn't know what she was talking about, so he would have to question Molly about that later.

"Why yes, that's so very true."

The time for the ceremony finally arrived, and Owen and Perry were near the fireplace in the living room well ahead of most of the others so the two of them could talk. "Ready to tie the knot buddy?" Perry asked him.

"I'm so past ready. I just want to be able to say Molly is my wife."

"Damn she's a great woman. You did well by waiting, and Nila hurt I know, but you were saved from yourself."

"No kidding, and all along there was Molly right at my elbow so much of the time."

"She had her hooks in you, but you just didn't know it."

The more time passes, the more I'm inclined to agree with you. So how was it with Alana?"

"Great. Better than great."

"But Kathy is better."

Perry smiled and humbly asked him, "Do you really think so?"

"Don't you?"

"It's a damn close call for me."

"I'd take Kathy first every time, except in the flirting and teasing area. Alana is a master at that."

"You really would go with Kathy first?"

"In a heartbeat, and I've told her that. If you two weren't married, I would have been beating on her door, but now of course with Molly...I'm good where I am."

"Judging from what Dan whispered to me, I'd say you did damn good."

Chapter Two Hundred Sixty

Like so many marriage ceremonies, it was over in minutes. Dan and Alana worked cameras while Perry and Kathy passed the rings, and on it went, with Owen and Molly saying I do, and it was all concluded and sealed with a long and tender kiss. "I love you," they whispered to each other, and then friends and family applauded.

"I'm sorry June couldn't be here Owen," Molly told him as they held each other close again.

"That's okay. I guess it was more important that I invite her than for her to be here, but she had to do what she had to do. Besides, if I invited everybody I knew this place would be very crowded."

"If we invited every woman you've ever slept with we'd have to rent a hall."

"Oh now that hurt baby," and they kissed again before they split up and moved around and received hugs, kisses and congratulations, and even Perry kissed Owen's cheek before they hugged and Perry told him, "Thanks very much for allowing me to be here for you friend."

"I'm glad you were there next to me, and thank you. I have to be sure to thank Kathy too."

"If you try to thank her in the bedroom you may have a lot of us watching you two."

"Now wouldn't that set off a wave of chatter. Perry, I'm going to say this not at all as bragging. In fact it worries me just a little. But as I count heads, I see two women here that I haven't made love to. My mother and Molly's mother."

"And she looks good."

Owen smiled and putting his hand on his friends shoulder, he said, "She really does, so that tells me Molly will look that good years from now."

"You really have screwed...sorry that's tacky. You've made love to...all of them? Cousins, aunts, whoever?"

"I really have, but not like in a month or whatever, I'm speaking in total. Also I'd willingly...make that eagerly, make love to each of them again if I could without hurting Molly."

"You are one lucky ass and I envy you."

"Don't, because it makes it hard to behave. I've been so free to move about and follow my impulses, that it's going to be hard to rein myself in. I sucked the biggest clit I've ever seen and just days ago. Molly knows, so I'm safe but that's what I mean. Of course that woman all but threw herself at me, and of course I caught her and undressed her."

"You poor sucker, what a burden to carry, but I want details about giant clit later."

"You'll have them plus a picture of her."

Char finally gave up, and after kissing Owen and Molly, she went to her room to lie down. Right after that, Stan and Helen talked to Owen and Molly for several minutes and then they left. Ten minutes after that clothes came off, and Perry and Dan had the honor of spending time with naked and sexy cousins, and very sexy Aunt Eva. Kathy found Owen and whispered to him, "I may have to go home alone tonight because Perry is in love with Ginger and Lori, and they're flirting with him like crazy. Linda has Dan cornered and they're having a great time. Oh, and if you haven't noticed, Dan is naked, so Perry will be soon enough."

"Then why aren't you naked for me honey?"

Her smile melted as she told him, "I'd love to be naked with you, but only if I could take you to bed. I'm not in the mood for unfulfilled temptation. You and I were too good together not long ago."

"We're always good together Kathy. You're still going to help me with my surprise later right?"

"I'm anxious to be part of that hon."

"I'm glad and thank you. Have you seen Jean, Molly's friend?"

"At the bar I think."

"I have to go see how she's holding up with my perverted family everywhere."

"Hi," Owen said a minute later and slipped onto a barstool next to her. "I don't blame you at all for hiding and having a strong drink."

"You're family is so great and so friendly."

"But so screwed up, but I love them, and of course that means I'm screwed up, but I'm trying to behave."

"Is that your way of saying you'd be naked if I wasn't here?"

"Maybe, but I'm not sure, and that's not important. Jean, I'm so glad you came for Molly's sake, and to me that proves just what a great and reliable friend you are to her. I'm sorry as hell I didn't get to meet you sooner."

"I am too, but Molly was pretty much keeping those two sides of her life separate, because until not long ago it was a toss up if you two would end up together."

"You know, I wonder if it really was. Could you and I go someplace to talk and not worry about being interrupted? I really want us to get to know each other better."

"Where did you have in mind?"

"Now don't freak on me, because I'm not trying anything. We can cut out the back and to in through the French doors of my bedroom. I have a nice conversation area in there and we can be comfortable. I won't even take my clothes off."

She smiled and said, "That's probably a very wise decision. Okay, lead the way, and I'll just bring my very strong drink along," and a minute later, she was in a chair, and Owen sat across from her. "See, if I was trying to put the moves on you I'd suggest the love seat claiming it's more comfy. Actually it is, but so what I guess. Okay, where were we? Oh, I think Molly and I were meant to be together, but the way it happened is much better than how it might have happened later."

"You'll have to explain that to me one day."

"I'll do my best. Jean, how much has Molly shared with you about our relationship or the parties or anything along those lines?"

"I'm thinking everything, but of course I can't say for sure. I hope that doesn't make you mad."

"Of course not. That saves me a lot of explanation too, and that's good."

"She's told me that you've been with many women, you love photography and you're pretty good and learning. Some of your parties have been totally out of control triple X rated, but mostly before she joined you."

She didn't think of her parties as out of control? Oh Jean, we'll have to chat about that one day very soon."

"Now don't try to trick me into saying things against my friend."

"Never, but I think we have an issue of semantics going. But another time.

"Now Owen, before you ask, yes Molly confessed what happened the other night after watching that party video, and not once but twice."

"She told you about that?"

"She did. I think she needed a friend, an outsider of sorts, to share that with. She wanted my thoughts on that."

"I can't ask you what they were, because that's between you and her, but I confess to being very curious, especially since I'm hurrying to get to know you a lot better."

"I'll only say that I didn't burden her with reasons for guilt."

"That's good enough. You know, either Molly has changed a lot recently, or more of the real Molly has jumped out, but I'm rushing to get to know her again too. Wild isn't it? I just married her, and here I am saying, damn, I don't' know her all that well."

"Well you'll see her differently than I do I'm sure, but she has changed some, and to me for the better, but I'm sure you're also seeing more of the real her. You were her boss then, and you're her husband now," and Jean took a long swallow of her drink and put it down again and smiled. "I'm trying to keep myself just on the verge of getting drunk."

"So you can cope with all of the naked bodies out there."

"That's part of it," and she smiled and left it there.

"So you're going to stay late and help me right?"

"I am."

"And you do remember the details I shared with you and you're still okay with that."

"I am Owen. My part is minor, but I understand very well what you're trying to do, and I want to be part of that for my friend."

"Everybody should have one friend that's as solid as you are for Molly."

"Thank you," and the glass went to her lips again for a moment.

"How is the buzz doing?"

"Pretty damn good," and she smiled again.

"Ready to go with me and face the nice but naked people?"

"It isn't nudity that is my issue, it's the amount of nudity, and the fact that I wish I was comfortable with myself enough to do something like that." Then she stopped and said, "Damn, I shouldn't have even said that."

"You're doing just great, and I understand very well what you mean. Once you're used to being naked around others it's very liberating, but until then, it can be nerve wracking, strenuous and horrible rather than exhilarating."

"Maybe you do understand."

"But Jean, since we're going to be around each other a lot, or I hope that's the case, I'm going to say something very candid, open and honest, no bull shit and no games."

"Okay, I'm ready."

"I'd love to see you naked, and I'd do a lot to help that to happen. I think you're very attractive, you have a nice shape, and I like the way you handle yourself."

"Thank you Owen, and I really do appreciate that."

"It is as it is Jean. I'm not anything hot, and I sure as hell don't turn heads when I'm bare assed, but I still enjoy that a lot just because I do, and not to impress anybody."

"That's good to remember too. Will you be naked later?"

"I'm sure I will be, and especially when I'm with Molly later in the evening."

"Would you do me a favor then?"

"Of course, whatever you need."

Be naked for me in here where there isn't a lot of nakedness all around us. I want to ease into this maybe, and besides, I don't want to be staring at you out there. I'll embarrass myself enough in here."

"Oh hell," and standing up he started to undress as he told her, "Jean, stare at me all you want. I know you'll just be satisfying your curiosity and not lusting after my body. I have an ass, a slightly too large belly, a cock and balls, all standard issue for men."

Staring at him as he slowly unveiled himself to her, she said, "You know for a lot of women, it isn't so much the physical attributes that brings a woman back to the man she's with as it is a mental thing, and or maybe a chemical thing, I'm not even sure, but I do know that physical beauty can be so very misleading and even...oh honey," and she watched his hard cock flip out of his underwear as it went down his thighs. She looked up at him and smiled and then pulled her gaze down to his cock again.

Owen turned slowly and ended up with is cock pointing at her again. "I wonder what Molly would say right now if she knew what I was staring at."

"I wonder that too. Are you sure you wouldn't be willing to join me Jean. I do promise, not counting a sweet kiss and maybe an arm around you for a minute, to be something approaching a gentleman."

That's a fairly vague promise, and it's tempting, but with this being your wedding day, I have to pass."

"Can I negotiate another time then? Here when there isn't a dozen people milling around. Just you, me and Molly?"

"Why?"

"Because I enjoy this and I'm eager to see, if given the chance, you would enjoy it too. I'm sure Molly would be naked with you."

"I'm sure she would be. I will say I'll think about this a lot. A whole lot," and she smiled up at him again.

"One more suggestion and then I'll dress and we can join the others."

"Why dress if you're just going to be naked again?"

"Would Molly be upset if she saw me naked with you even if you're dressed?"

"Good question that I don't have an answer for. Okay, you're last suggestion."

"Touch me. I mean my chest, or my belly, my butt. If you can touch me and do okay, I'm sure you can look at me out there and not feel like you're staring. You'd be more relaxed."

"That's a nice line and it even makes some sense. So I just stand up and explore you and you just stand there."

"No, I stand here, breathe faster, struggle with unspoken desires and harbor fantasies, but I will stand still."

"I really do like you Owen. I like your style. You're cute."

"I've never been told I'm cute, and thank you."
