Still Faithful, Always Pt. 03

Artsy waited while the others had a chuckle over her opening summary. "I am actually third string in my own divorce. MacDaniel says the first objective is to shield Mrs. Patron from any harmful lawsuits and second is Dan. My divorce proceedings will be straightforward, no fault; incompatibility if you will, with an even split of what little we jointly have."

Laura was compelled to pipe in after Dan's name came up, "Why my Dan?"

"You know my husband has hated Dan from before we were married. I confess his hatred was important, I am ashamed to admit this Honey but it is true, as a way to break my feelings of love for your husband, Laura."

Artsy rose, went to Dan, leaned down to hold and kiss with passion. Her lips quivered against Dan's, her tongue thrust into his mouth and her tears ran from her cheek to his but she was totally unconcerned about her display of emotion. That Dan's wife was part of tonight's audience mattered none. Dan held the woman as close as possible giving love and comfort as he returned her kisses with the same emotion. Artsy returned to her chair and her drink.

"He hates Dan. He is convinced Dan and I have been having sex at least weekly ever since he and I married. Furthermore he is sure it is Dan that has been chasing after my skirt. Laura, LF, for the record Dan and I have not had any sexual contact at all since you returned from that extended stay with Greg. We have kissed and held each other. Lately we have kissed with deep and abiding passion and feeling."

"Those kisses are some of what I want to talk to you about later, but I have not and will not have sex with your husband, not without your enthusiastic approval Laura. No matter what my husband thinks, no matter how hard and how long he looks he will not find me shacked up with Dan. It won't happen and I am pretty sure Dan agrees."

This time Dan rose from his chair and went to Artsy. He was the one to initiate the affection and caresses. He held her hand close to his heart as he looked to Laura, "You know she is telling the truth, don't you?"

Dinner was delicious. Mrs. Patron's maid, who doubled as cook for meals such as tonight's, baked a pork tenderloin with an apple juice and applejack glaze; steamed vegetables and wild rice completed the menu. Conversation around the dinner table avoided one subject, Artsy's divorce, completely. LF talked about a series of new paintings she had underway. With this series the first showing would be at the San Francisco gallery that now represented her work on the left coast. Artsy gave a brief run down on the progress they were having turning Mrs. Patron's home into a nationally recognized gallery-museum.

Mrs. Patron added her thoughts on one aspect of their new project. "LF, I want the grand opening to be memorable, really noteworthy. I think it would be most appropriate for some of your work to be featured prominently. That goes for you too, LeeAnne; I don't want you so wrapped up in business details that you have no time for creativity. I do think your married life has taken too much of your talent away as it is. I will not allow our business to take the rest."

Laura added her opinion, "I wish I was creative like these two young women; they are so talented they make me feel inferior. All I have ever been able to do is model."

"I think you pose well Baby, especially when you leave your clothes behind."

Dan's rejoinder to Laura closed out dinner conversation and led the group back to the den for après dinner brandy. Once again Dan served as bartender and waiter. Once again all the women received their snifter with a kiss on the cheek. Dan decided to sit next to Artsy so he could give support through closeness during this part of their emotional evening together. He looked to Mrs. Patron and to Laura for understanding and both nodded agreement.

The dinner table conversation petered out. All five sat quiet just digesting every aspect of their meal and enjoying the superb brandy. Dan held Artsy close tucked into his side with his arm around her as emotional protection. Laura and LF sat on another divan. Laura pulled LF close and they held hands and shared a few light kisses. Mrs. Patron sat in her chair as overseer. The big stuffed chair that had been Mrs. Patron's husband's favorite remained empty. These days the only person allowed to use that one particular chair was her Daniel but tonight her Daniel was with LeeAnne. She smiled approval.

As all of the snifters began to empty Laura let her Board of Directors personality take over. She pulled LF close into a tight embrace and gave a passionate kiss to the young artist. "It's time we see to Artsy's needs." To Mrs. Patron, "A few requests if I may ma'am, first I hope you will make sure that our Daniel will not feel neglected tonight, and second may we three use the guest room I use when I spend the evening here with you?"

Artsy broke away from Dan when she heard Laura's request, "I thought we would use my room."

"I think Laura has an excellent thought; of course you may use that room. It is the one Friend always used when she and I did not sleep together. If you three are in her room tonight it will bring her memory back to life at least momentarily. Daniel, you best be prepared; I will be especially excited tonight in our bedroom knowing there is love in Friend's bedroom too. I will expect the same from you."

LF had a request as well, "Mrs. Patron, may we take the candlesticks Rupert gave you with us tonight? The last time we three girls played in your home they added a special sort of brightness."

"I will get them for you."

> > > - - < < <

Three women sat cross legged on the big bed. All were nude. Artsy wanted to lead their conversation but couldn't find the words within to get started. Laura took over.

"LF, sit with her; hold our friend close and let Artsy know she is loved."

Laura reached right hand and took the left of the confused younger woman. They had spoken in past times of their love for the same man. They had talked to each other about the difficulties living with that love for one man entailed. Artsy loved Laura's husband.

"First things first about marriage and divorce, LF has never been married; she may never marry and that will be her choice if so. I am married to one man who has never divorced me although god knows I gave my Baby every justification for kicking my ass out the door. You know that to be true, both of you but you in particular Artsy."

Laura squeezed the hand she held and kissed Artsy's lips with soft delicacy. She held her left hand out fingers spread.

"I know you love Dan as I do, probably just as much in your way as I love him in my way. I also lived the same denial that you are just getting over Artsy. You and I have both lived six years holding the love we felt for another man hidden deep inside ourselves."

"One of these rings I am wearing tonight sat in that box you gave to Dan all those years ago. I am able to wear it now because Dan gave me permission to admit openly what I had held inside those six years."

After a quick pause, "That approval Dan gave was not made lightly with little thought or concern."

Laura gestured come to Artsy and the two women kissed again, this time with more fervor. Laura drove her tongue well past Artsy's lips and set it to motion inside the woman. She could feel passion cause Artsy to suck her breath deep.

"LF, please make love to our friend and give her an orgasm. I think it will help her relax."

LF knew how to use sex to attack and stimulate. When she and Laura made love one or the other was always aggressor and their love making always furious, never tender. LF also understood well the most tender and delicate ways one woman could excite another woman to out of control pleasure. She began with the most delicate kisses all around Artsy's neck as her palms each sought a breast to tease. Next teeth lightly nibbled south along the curve of spine as fingertips played tattoo down Artsy's torso. Without knowing how she reached the position LF choose, Artsy found herself flat on back in sixty-nine position feasting on LFs pussy as her own was covered inside and out with the most delicate soft kisses, licks and tongue tip swirls. Within a minute's time Artsy screamed her passion calling for more. Laura eased her body alongside and added her own kisses to the fire. Three women held close and let their collective breathing find a way back to normal.

Laura returned to her cross legged sitting position about ready to lead their discussion again. LF backed away and the three women returned to their sitting triangle once again. LF jumped to the front of the line. "I'm using the candlesticks for your next orgasms. I am going to fuck both of you at the same time until you beg for mercy. You won't get it but I'll make you beg, understand girls?"

"Oh god, oh yes, I'll beg Bitch if you promise to keep going. Let me talk to our sister a little more and then one or both of you can do me."

"Please understand well what I am about to tell you Girlfriend. I spend almost a third of my time on the west coast at Business Lady; you know that. When I am there I am Greg's fiancée. That is how I introduce myself; that is how we act; that is what we are. Greg and I, we are a loving couple. I do not let my love for Greg take away from my love for Dan. I have grown up in that respect. Dan loves you as much as you love Dan. His love for you is still hidden away as mine was, as yours has been."

Again Laura covered Artsy's face with light feathery kisses. She framed the woman's face with open hands and spread fingers. Kisses moved lower to Artsy's throat and then her breasts. Laura paused and reached for one of the phallus candle holders.

"Neither of my Babies is as well endowed as this, but both are large and exceptionally talented lovers. I want you and Dan to become active lovers when I am in San Francisco. I want you to sleep in my bed with my husband. I want my husband to sleep in your bed with you. If Dan decides to place a ring on your finger I want you to wear it with love and especially with the pride you both deserve. I will tell him the same thing before I leave for San Francisco again."

Laura used the glass cock to poke Artsy's nipples and then gave it to LF. She leaned back on the bed and spread her legs. "I want to be the next to scream. Do me; both of you, do anything you want to me."

When Laura finally did scream for the first time the sound was smothered by Artsy's tongue probing kiss. FL was at her waist jamming pussy with imaginative gift Interior Decorator gave Mrs. Patron. Laura's clitoris served as nibble target for LFs teeth; her legs flapped up -- down -- sideways and eventually kicking the back of the woman who just would not stop stimulating her body. She screamed again and again with each orgasmic climax. Finally she was able to garner strength to push LF away. When she could speak again Laura's message to LF was simple, "You're next!"

> > > - - < < <

Before she left her Baby the next time Laura made absolutely sure Dan understood her position. "You both love one another and you deserve what you can get with each other. If you can live that love in the time you have while I am gone you will help me live my other love. Please Dan Baby, please do this for me if you can't see to do it only for you and Artsy yet. You will get there I am sure."

"I need you to live your love with Artsy as much for me and Greg as for you and Artsy. All four of us need this special loving we have deep inside. While I am in San Francisco try your best to express that love. I want Artsy in this bed and I want you in hers. That was the message I gave her that girls night in Mrs. Patron's home."

Laura took one more step that she was sure would bring tears of joy to the other women who loved her Baby. Laura handed Dan one of her business cards with an address on the back. "Would you get away early today and meet me here at four-thirty?" She got an 'I'll try Baby' response. Laura knew how to deal with I'll try. She called Secretary and they did some catch up chat for a few minutes. "I gave Dan my card with an address written on the back. It's a special jewelry store. The man has made custom pieces for me for years. Dan must be there at four-thirty today. Can I count on you?" The secretarial network was a very tight-knit sorority. Dan would be where Laura needed him when she needed him.

Laura handled the introduction of Dan as her husband. Jeweler was confused because he had only seen her with Greg years ago, but he recovered quickly. He remembered the request Laura made earlier about a way to merge the two engagement rings she wore. One had been given by this man who was her true husband.

"Dan will need an engagement ring for a lady, a size seven and a half." Laura looked at her husband, "I am a good scout, prepared; I asked her what size." "Dan will tell you what he wants in the ring. Give him whatever he asks for. I will pay for it."

"No Laura, I won't allow that; I can't allow you to pay."

Laura spoke to both men forcefully. "I am paying for them, any amount up to twenty-five thousand for this ring and the next ones we will talk about."

Dan didn't so much agree with his wife as give up arguing. He and the jeweler huddled in discussion. Finally Dan decided he should put the time and effort that she deserved into what he really wanted to give to his other love. He gave his thoughts and decision to Jeweler and found the man agreed with him completely. Dan left with the jeweler's card and phone number. He tried to convince the man that they could work a subterfuge on Laura as far as paying but Jeweler would have no part in shenanigans.

> > > - - < < <

"Of course you can come Daniel, Laura told me she would be gone two full weeks this trip. She very specifically asked us to look out for you. This is your home as much as it is mine Daniel; you never have to ask; you are always welcome here. I know you have learned that much by now."

Following a very informal dinner Mrs. Patron, her Daniel and LeeAnne adjourned to the den for their usual after dinner drinks. As his assigned head of household role Dan poured the brandy and served. After giving the two ladies their snifter Dan got his from the sideboard and started for his normal chair.

"Daniel, I am going to let my husband's memory have his chair tonight. Please sit with LeeAnne on the loveseat. Just for tonight dear."

In spite of the explicit approval given by Laura, her active encouragement even, Dan still felt uncomfortable putting himself in a situation that would appear to be a seduction of this married woman he deeply cared for, truly loved. He sensed Artsy had some of the same reservations. Laura told him he gave her the same message she gave to Dan. She wanted them together while she was in San Francisco.

"May I join you honey?"

Artsy slid left to make room for Dan on the narrow love seat. As he settled in she leaned into his side and somehow maneuvered her Honey's arm to a protective embrace around her shoulders. Her comment spoken soft was like a cat's purr.

"You feel good -- we feel good together Honey -- let's just be close tonight and let things flow."

Artsy's simple cuddling gesture meant far more than his wife's verbal approval, her request. Dan yielded to desire within. He bestowed a soft kiss to hair above his Honey's ear, worked kiss down and forward to cheek, and finally reaching lips kissed soft and gentle. As cat's show pleasure Artsy purred one more time.

Mrs. Patron sat in her chair smiling at her two friends, protégées. She knew her orchestration was the wand that overwhelmed any concerns both had about the correctness of their unusual situation. Yes, her Daniel was married to Laura and would remain so. Yes, her LeeAnne was still married to husband but not much longer. She knew that both deserved what time they could muster together to nourish their love. Mrs. Patron accepted she would have more and more nights alone in her bed as the price she paid being matchmaker.

One more vital step remained. She would have to continue her matchmaker role and ensure her Daniel took LeeAnne to her bed tonight. Mrs. Patron would allow no confusion at the last minute.

"Daniel, could you pour us each one more snifter that we can enjoy together before you take LeeAnne to bed?" Her Daniel well understood two messages.

In the bedroom Dan took the lead finally; he began undressing Artsy starting with her blouse and finishing on his knees removing her shoes and finally panties. He allowed Artsy to take his hands in hers and guide him to upright. Next she repeated the undressing beginning with shirt and also finishing on her knees. Artsy gave a soft and fleeting kiss to the tip of Dan's cock just before he helped her rise.

"Do you remember that first night we slept together Artsy? You were Augusta Savage and you sculpted my body. I want to sculpt yours tonight."

"You don't know the sculptors at all, do you Dan? We will keep it simple tonight but I will gradually teach you. You can be Borglum and I will be your mountain in South Dakota. Make love to me Borglum. Turn my stone to flesh. I want you tonight."

Before Dan was through sculpting his masterpiece stone came to life and quivered. The mountain shook as if by earthquake. Screams bounced from the ceiling and moans circled the room. Dan continued his touch before and after the three times he spent orgasm inside his love's sweet pussy cavern. What little sleep lovers enjoyed that night was deep and undisturbed. They held each other close.

Over four nights the couple captured the spirit of the four figures Borglum carved into that South Dakota granite. Artsy knew she had never been so thoroughly stimulated in one week in her life. No experience she could conceive rivaled the pleasure Dan bestowed on her body and soul. If Laura thought her Greg a better lover than Dan, and Artsy had heard the woman say as much, she could not imagine that to be true. As far as Artsy was concerned there could be no better lover than this wonderful, powerful, but most gentle and tender man.

Friday the three relaxed once more in Mrs. Patron's den following dinner. LeeAnne was quiet and appeared troubled. Both of her friends tried to draw her out but she remained within herself. She finished her snifter first and rather than await the others asked Dan to get up for a refill. Her second did not last much longer. Dan began to get concerned. Finally she rose and led Dan to his usual chair beside the older woman. She kneeled between them and held a hand of each.

"I was a fool. I must be the most stupid woman god has allowed to walk the earth."

Her friends tried to pull her upright to break the spell of self flagellation. She resisted and remained in her kneeling position. Dan and Mrs. Patron came to her with kisses and hugs.

"I searched for and found; I courted and married a man so absolutely inferior to you Dan. I married a man I knew was not worthy just to try and extinguish the love I always felt for you. I choose to torture myself. I told myself he was all I deserved because I loved another woman's husband."

LeeAnne, Artsy, broke down in tears and was unable to go on. Dan went to his knees and wrapped her in arms. When Mrs. Patron attempted to join he waived her off. Dan accepted that comforting this stricken lover tonight was his task alone. He held her, kissed her and cooed in her ear. Finally LeeAnne pushed her Honey away and Dan returned to his chair.

"Will you both accept my apology? Dan, Honey, will you accept the love I give from this day to forever?"

This time when Dan scooped her up Artsy offered no resistance. Dan accepted her request with kisses. He held close and both let the emotion of the moment flow between them.
