The Resurgence of a Weary Man Pt. 04

My usually reserved host really laughed with that.

"David, I figured as much when Janet started pushing me to take Helen out a couple times. Funny thing is we have a really good relationship, Janet and I. I mean, we aren't going to marry but we enjoy each other immensely. Now, with the both of them here, it's gotten pretty darn complicated and then there's Mildreid too. Hell, she's a whole other dimension."

"Tom, it's simple really. Janet is just like her cousin Pam in so many respects. Whatever she saw in Helen was probably what Pam saw in Marylyn and she is taking her own approach to a similar issue. I hadn't pulled the trigger on Marylyn but I was living like I should have even though we both loved each other unconditionally. I told Marylyn you were different. You already divorced and that changes the game a lot."

What David was saying was true. Being divorced already and living life as I wanted it had changed the game. I did still love Helen but I also enjoyed my current relationship. Over the last couple months, the sexual relationship with Janet had also changed. Hell, I had a threesome with her and my ex-wife. How in hell does that one get explained in the magazine of life? One thing was certain. I needed a sit down with the two of them to understand where we were.

"David, I'm going to enjoy life and for now, that seems to be with three different women. If I end up with just one of them or none, I'll have to cross that bridge then. For now, let's rack 'em."

That's what we did and Mildreid joined us later along with Marylyn. The others had stayed in town and hit one of the Gastehaus's. We ended up playing doubles and pretty much broke even on our 20 Euro games. After we wrapped up and settled, Mildreid and I excused ourselves and we went out onto a veranda. We were both comfortable on a chaise and enjoying the cool air.

"Mildreid, you've never talked about why you haven't settled down into the domestic life with a husband and a houseful of kids and all the things that come with that."

She looked at me sideways just a bit and then smiled.

"Well, I have never met the right man to do that with, not that I haven't tried. Perhaps I should qualify that. I stopped trying a few years ago not because I couldn't find a man to marry. There were too many of them. It didn't help that half of them ended up being married as well.

A long time ago there was a man who I would have married but he ended up marrying somebody else after we had a big fight and broke up our relationship. Both of us were young and stubborn and wouldn't back down. So about a half a year later, I heard he was engaged to some Frau a couple towns over."

Mildreid paused at that point like she didn't want to continue.

"I confronted him, you know, asking him why he didn't try to make things right with us. He asked me the same thing and scheisse I didn't have an answer worth anything. So, he married her and I felt like death for about a year after that. He's got three children now, beautiful kids, but she divorced him a couple years ago."

"Do you still love him?"

"Tom, not like I did. That's the thing about healing. The scars are pretty tough and what's left afterwards isn't the same thing. It's kind of what I suspect you have gone through with your divorce. Do you love her like you did before?"

That's a hard question but a fair one. I didn't really know how to answer so I didn't.

"So why did you stop looking a few years ago?"

She laughed a bit knowing I was dodging her question.

"You know, it is a funny thing. I had this epiphany of sorts and realized I actually liked my single lifestyle. I can come and go as I feel. If I want to have a relationship for a while, I can. I can travel and dine and play and work as hard as I want without having to check it against somebody else's calendar. That is a nice place for me and I decided then that until I stumbled onto the man I wanted to be one with, that is how I would live."

She was absentmindedly rubbing my thigh now but it wasn't meant to be sexual. It was a shared intimacy, closeness and I let her continue her revelation.

"So, do you still love her in the same way as before your divorce?"

She wasn't letting me off the hook.

"Mildreid, to be honest, I really don't know. I was mad as hell at her for a long time and then it dropped off and recently we have become friends again. Is it the same way? If pushed I would have to say no, it is different. We are two different people now but I do love her and I always will."

"Will you always want to fuck her, to make love to her?"

"Maybe." I smiled.

She snuggled closer to me now and a few minutes later, she led me to her room. Janet and Helen had not returned and I didn't want an interruption later.

She was slick and smooth as butter when I entered her. In a dominant missionary position, I was buried deep inside her pressing against her cervix with her thighs pressed against me in her own excitement. We were in heat, a matched pair of lovers lit only by the soft glow of two scented candles burning on the side table. Her teeth found my lower lip and she bit gently when I increased my strokes into her. I could sense her crescendo building with each stroke being met by the upward fuck of her hips. Some women are not vaginally orgasmic. Mildreid was intensely so and she exploded in a gushing orgasm with her mouth buried in my throat. Within seconds of her orgasm, I pulled out and emptied my nut on her firm belly.

Mildreid hadn't just fucked me. She had made love, intensely, and I had returned the emotion with my own. For that moment, I wanted to be with nobody else with no cares or concerns for the needs and wants of another woman. There were no thoughts of Janet or of Helen. There was just this beautiful German princess with the body of a goddess and the face of an angel whose sweat streaked breasts were pressed next to mine.

Her alarm went off at 5AM and she jumped out of bed, her Teutonic daily rhythm driving her to alertness and preparation for the day. My internal clock was set for 6AM and I merely groaned at her enthusiasm.

"Come on, Tom. Get up and come run with me. It's the perfect time."

So I did, after sneaking back into my room for my running gear. We ran seven kilometers down through the village and a couple of back roads before finishing back at the retreat. As we made the loop back to the house, the car pulled up to the entrance and we saw a bedraggled couple emerge. Janet and Helen were arriving home from an obvious all night adventure.

"Perhaps I should have been along as chaperone." Mildreid said. I just hugged her close.

"No, we are all adults. It's not your job to police consenting adults. We certainly did not need our own chaperoning last evening, did we?"

Outwardly I might have been cool but inwardly there was a struggle going on. I can't have all three, can I? The answer would have to wait. For the time being, when we returned to her room, Mildreid stripped off my shorts and proceeded to give a great blowjob before peeling her shorts off and straddling my cock. After we fucked, we showered, dressed and I joined a few others for breakfast.

Janet and Helen had returned to my room and fallen asleep together in the large bed. Rather than wake them, I decided to go for a ride and invited Millicent and Kiera to join me. Millicent was feeling a bit under the weather but Kiera was anxious. We motored through several back roads over the next three hours stopping at various tourist outlooks to take pictures or stretch. We ended up parked outside one of the taverns in the village and shared a couple boots of beer.

Kiera was an interesting young woman. She shared a lot of herself during our time together and I learned of her closeness to Millicent, how they started working together and Millicent's children, even how Millicent was married twice to the same man. She told me about her mother, how proud she was of her that she got her life straightened out and had married a great fellow after not being able to get over her divorce from Kiera's father for years. I liked this young lady and saw a lot of promise in her. I could see why David relied on her heavily in her role. She's in her middle twenties but carries the air of someone who has experienced years beyond her own.

"So how do you handle having three women? I would think you would be tired as hell all the time." Smiling as she said it.

"I'd be just as tired with one as with three." I replied in an attempt at a comeback.

"Oh, then you must be real good." Kiera said with a deadpan face.

I didn't know how to reply to that so I just laughed. I'm not a storied lover with some magical prowess. I'm just an average, healthy guy in good physical condition with a healthy sex drive. I'm not lacking in any way package wise but I'm not some horse cock bedroom athlete either. I'm adventurous. Helen and Janet are adventurous, Mildreid is just plain liberating.

"Kiera, I'm just a romantic at heart, I guess."

"Yeah, right." She lightly punched my arm in jest.

"So you didn't get lucky last night?" I asked half joking. She looked at me and actually stuck her tongue out before laughing. Guilty.

"You did, didn't you?" She was actually blushing and shifting in her seat like a young teen caught kissing a boy in the hallway.

She just looked at me with a sly grin and tipped up the boot of bier and downed the remaining half of it. We stayed for two more boots and then headed back to the retreat.

Later that afternoon, Helen, Janet, Mildreid and I said our goodbyes and drove back to Heidelberg. It was a pleasant short ride and each of the ladies was in a jolly mood. Janet and Helen had taken the back seat and were continuing their binge party of sorts as Mildreid sat up front testing them on their knowledge of drinks and party games. I was surprised at Helen's knowledge, especially about the risqué ones. We were back soon and after helping Mildreid with her luggage, my two interests and I returned to my apartment.

After dinner I patted a seat on each side of me, put my arms around both of them and asked.

"OK, tell me what is going on."

They just looked at each other and laughed as if I was being trivial. Helen spoke first.

"Janet is going to fuck you silly tonight and I am going to get a wonderful night of sleep in that delightful down comforter in there" pointing toward her room. Janet piped up next.

"And, after that, we are going to drift off to sleep where you will wake up first thing in the morning and go off to work. Helen and I are going on an adventure tomorrow and we'll be gone for a few days. I hope you won't mind. Mildreid can keep you company while we are gone. That's OK, yes?"

I must have looked terribly perplexed.

"Don't worry about it. We know about Mildreid. She told us. In fact she asked us if we were OK with it and of course, we are. You need to know that." Janet said. Helen piped in.

"Tom, the only thing I want is for you to be happy and be who you want to be. It will all work itself out either later or after we all get back home."

With that, Helen reached over and planted a sensual kiss on my lips and swirled her tongue with mine. She rose up and disappeared into her room. Janet plopped down into my lap and with her arms around my neck and shoulders, she said.

"Finally, we are alone! It's about time."

We cuddled for a while on the couch before I led her by the hand into my room. Stripping naked, we both climbed into the bed and she proceeded to completely wear me out. When we finished, we lay there like wasted lovers not willing to even get up to wash. We were too tired to even talk. Within a few minutes w both fell asleep in each other's arms.

As if in synch, we both woke up around 2AM, got up for bathroom needs and lay back down together and just talked for a while.

"Tom, when we're together, we have the best fuck I've ever had with anybody, absolutely the best. I don't want to stop it."

"You don't have to, Helen. You are the only woman who can lock the door and keep me to yourself and I'd never get up and unlock it. That goes for Helen and Mildreid or anybody else. I know we have this 'arrangement' or whatever we want to call it but if you say you don't want to do that anymore, all you have to say is no more. OK?"

"Oh Tom, you silly naïve man." She laughed.

"I don't want you to stop making love to Helen or even fucking Mildreid while you are over here. I adore Mildreid. In fact, I wouldn't mind doing what we did the other night with her?" She giggled seductively but still teasing.

"And, I love Helen, like I do Pam or a sister. We have something we share in common, you! But, do you know why I want you to be with her? It's because when we are together, we fuck, beautifully so. When you are with Helen, the two of you make love like two soulmates. I know, she told me. I saw some of it the other night. You give me what I want. You give Helen what she needs. I think you give Mildreid what you both desire and that's a whole other ballgame there, Jack. I'm jealous of that and so is Helen."

"Janet, just lay here with me. I'm OK with all of it. Let's go back to sleep. You have a busy morning. Just leave me your itinerary so I can reach you if I need to."

They left me their itinerary. It was a 6 day jaunt through Germany and the Netherlands and back with a stopover in Belgium. I was envious to tell the truth. However, the work world beckoned. Mildreid had started taking over several administrative management functions. She had the smarts and background for it and I saw some serious managerial talent in her. However, I had a problem.

We were having an affair, of that there was no doubt. She spent every night in my bed while the ladies were on their excursion. I am sure a couple people in the office were aware of it, Ingrid for sure and I was pretty certain Margarete was aware. Hans and a couple others might also know. I could have a problem if I promoted Mildreid to a head role.

My boss, Bill, presented a solution of sorts to that dilemma when I had my weekly call. My Ops manager back in Sonoma was pregnant and she and her husband had decided she was not going to come back to work fulltime. That meant I needed somebody to fill that role in about five months. Before I offered the role to Mildreid, I needed to have a talk with two ladies.

I explained the situation and I was immediately surprised by their enthusiasm. In fact I was bowled over by it. I should explain first. My household had become something of a revolving door and it could be said that it had expanded to two apartments, mine and Mildreids. David and Marylyn had moved on to Italy for another business venture and left Millicent and Kiera in Germany. Millicent was travelling back and forth every two weeks and Mildreid offered them her spare room.

Millicent and Kiera slept together. That threw me for a loop but Mildreid told me they were not lovers just the closest of friends and they shared nearly everything except Millicent's husband. OK. In any event, all the ladies were fast becoming close friends. For that matter Dietrich started referring to the bunch of them as my harem, all five of them, six when Ingrid was around.

I made the offer to Mildreid and she wanted to think on it for a while. I had no problem with that. We still had several months before any moves would be made. I did have a long sit down discussion with her to explain that this was a serious, demanding role and was not being offered based on any quid pro quo between the two of us. In fact, I had the role report to Bill just to keep the lines clean. He was OK with that when I discreetly explained the situation.

Janet and Helen flew back stateside after extending their stay another three weeks. Janet was worried about her mom and Helen needed to close on a condo she arranged to buy. That left me on my own again although Mildreid was still continuing to warm my bed. The two ladies made plans to return in a month.

So, my life in Germany continued along that vein for the next few months. Janet and Helen made the trip back a couple more times and on one occasion, I flew back with Mildreid to introduce her to the Omega staff once she accepted the position. It was around that same time that

Mildreid and I sat down for a good talk about our relationship. I knew we couldn't keep this up and still maintain a healthy business relationship in the workplace, not in the States. The only way that could continue is if we became man and wife and neither of us was going down that path. Human nature itself took care of our relationship issue. Mildreid met a man while she was doing an orientation in Sonoma and started seeing him regularly. She confided in me from the beginning and not too long after that we had our "goodbye" sex. It was great, sensual, erotic and romantic, all in one. We went away to an Italian villa on one of our returns and enjoyed a weekend together. When we left to return to Germany, we did so as close friends and kept that weekend to ourselves. The man in her life knew about the two of us when their relationship started. He didn't need to know how we moved it to just a good friendship.

Eventually, my German experience came to an end. I had Margarete take over managing the office after a long session of swilling Riesling and discussing office politics. I rationalized that if it didn't work out, I'd find somebody else. The office held a big party in my honor and for Mildreid as well since she was flying back with me. By the time I left, I had modelled the Heidelberg offices after our Sonoma home office and unless anybody was hiding their displeasure, it was an agreeable arrangement for all.

We arrived late in the evening and were met by Mildreid's new interest, a friendly fellow who managed one of the wineries in the area. We parted company and Mildreid and her friend headed in one direction and I headed for my condo. I had asked Ann to have somebody come in and clean it and freshen up the place. She went a mile better and restocked it with fresh groceries and condiments as well as an abundant supply of imported German Weißbier. I had grown fond of it.

It took a few days to settle back into a routine but one of the first things I wanted to do was take a short vacation and unwind. Janet knew I was back but we hadn't hooked up yet and with that in mind I walked down the walkway toward her condo. I guess I didn't expect another man to answer the door. Just as it opened up, I caught a glance of Janet walking back into her living room sans everything except a pair of panties and a pair of heels on her feet. Our eyes met and I caught her surprise. I hadn't really caught her since I didn't really own her affections yet I have to admit there was a pang of jealousy. I was back and she knew it so 'arrangements' should have been pushed to the side but I was also being a hypocrite. I wasn't the monogamous man from that old weary past anymore and I shouldn't have expected that of Janet.

I guess I took the easy way out. I said I'd talk later, excused myself and grabbed the keys to the Porsche. It was the middle of the afternoon so I pointed myself toward San Rafael and called Ann looking to see if she and Jason might want to have dinner. Interestingly, she already had dinner plans, with Jason and her mom. I started backing away from the conversation somewhat awkwardly but she would have nothing of it.

"Dad, we are going to Yet Wah and so are you. It was just the three of us and now it'll be the four of us. Besides we haven't seen much of you for the past year and we need to catch up."

I was going to object but she is my daughter and she gets her way. I guess I also was just a bit pleased Helen was going. It would be the first time we sat down as a full family in well over three years. Besides, it's a great Chinese restaurant and I didn't want to miss it or at least that's what I told myself.
