Adam's Journey

I'm sure this back story has been kicking around in your head for a long time Stormy. It's a very good image of the human condition. I love the way you are keeping Adam's dorkiness up, even in this setting where he really ought to know better (..but then it wouldn't be dorky would it).

Of course, now we can see that Izzy and Adam are not lovers. I like the way you have weaved it to date to let us see that but not Kristi. This piece of elastic in her normal awareness needs to snap back of course but I like the tension you created. Of course, we can all see that Kristi only has to grab Adam now to claim him forever. He's aching for it but I suspect you aren't going to let us see it, just yet anyway.

There is the return to the boat and more visitors yet to see but the bit I can't wait for is the Izzy meets Kristi scene. It's starting to loom like the finish post on a marathon .. or maybe the halfway point !!

Great story Stormy, great. You and GH make this site.

I totally agree with everything Peak so wonderfully expressed. I love your story and look forward to it each day. I can't wait to see where you have us headed. Thank you for all you time and efforts. You have created some enticing characters, kudos.

Very well done. I'm finding these last segments to be very painful. That's good. It's real. Working out the difficult details of a complicated relationship is often painful.

Too often the stories here are nothing more than comic books presenting ridiculous caricatures of real relationships. Often the "this is absolutely true" stories are the worst offenders.

Your story maybe the most real story on this site.

Well done and thank you

GH

WOW, he was sooo efectively cucked that had no idea, cool. Better get ready for what is cumming

Stormy,
You were in danger of falling off the front page. Couldn't allow it. Hope you are OK. It seems like a while ...

Sorry to everyone else hoping too and seeing this.

You got me Peak. I thought for sure that another episode had been posted. You're right though, no way should this one ever go to page 2. Thanks for bumping it.

My guess is that Stormy is taking his time to plan out how he wants this story to progress and finally end. There are several different paths that Adam and Kristi could take, I'm sure Stormy will come up with an outstanding one that will keep us guessing, not to mention well entertained.

Thanks peak, I appreciate the bump! Sorry it's been so long, just a very busy and hectic time and have been having a little trouble finding time to write. I've missed it too! Plus, I was sick a few days, which would not have been a major problem except for the accompanying miserable headache which made looking at a computer screen nearly impossible. OK, I've whined enough, I feel better now!

I liked your longer post above, and thanks for that. It is pretty on-target, I think. The relationship between Adam, Kristi, and Izzy is very much up in the air at the moment, and as TrF2 says, I have been trying to figure out where it's going to go. Still not sure, we'll see.

TrF2, thanks for checking in. You hit the nail right on the head about my trying to figure out the path of the story. I have a few ideas, and hope I can live up to your expectations!

Thanks GH, your insight often opens my own eyes to what I've written! I have been trying to be more empathetic in order to create more realistic feelings and emotions. Writing it that way is also difficult sometimes; as I'm sure you do, I get a little emotionally invested in the characters from time to time. Your comment about the realism is very much appreciated.

Right on, cd! Adam can be a bit of a bumbler sometimes, going through life blissfully unaware of the many forces affecting him. Sounds a little like me, at times! Hopefully he can weather the storm. I'll be back to post a segment in a little while, I have an errand I need to complete. Thanks all!

I could see that she was confused, and hurting. Part of the reason I had procrastinated so long - other than sheer cowardice - was that I had never been able to figure out a way to explain this without hurting her, and I could never bear the thought of hurting her. Now, on top of the misery we'd both experienced after I'd caught her cheating, I was hurting her again.

I tried to pull her close, but felt her tense and pull away. "Kristi, please try to understand, it's just not that way! Izzy and I, well, we're just kind of a safe harbor for each other."

"Oh, I understand that! And you like to steer your boat into her harbor whenever you can!"

That was funny, but she didn't smile when she said it and I wasn't sure she'd intended it to be funny, so I stifled the urge to laugh. "Kristi, come on! You know what I mean, we're just there when the other one needs us, always have been. Like an island of calm in a sea of insanity."

She glanced sideways at me. "Are you overworking the nautical metaphors because we've been on a boat, or are you trying to be funny?"

I hadn't realized I was doing that. I shrugged. "Coincidence. What I'm trying to say is that me and Izzy have always had each other, always. When one of us is down and hurting the other is always there to lean on. When I got divorced and was so devastated she helped me through it. Without her and Kori and Ron it would have been far worse, so much worse! Like what I told you about when her grandmother died. We provide that for each other."

Kristi pondered that for a moment. "But if I'm the woman in your life, be it your fiancee, or wife, or whatever, shouldn't I be the one providing that for you, and you for me?"

I'd thought long and hard about that myself, and I told her the only thing I'd ever been able to figure out about why it worked so well for Izzy and me. "Theoretically babe, I think that's true. But it never works that way in real life. If someone hurts you, I will always want to hurt them back. If there are obstacles thrown in your way, I'll always want to move them. Because of the way I love you, I will always want to solve your problems. Just listening to them will never be enough. For Izzy and me it just works. We just listen and sympathize while the other one talks out their problems, it just worked out that way, as though that's what nature intended."

Kristi frowned as she thought about that. "I kind of see what you mean, I guess. When you are struggling with something, or having problems, I do tend to try to resolve things. Or at least to help you solve them. But what you're describing, isn't that something your best male friend usually provides? I mean, it kind of sounds like the way Kori and I relate to each other."

I nodded. "I know! And Ron is the closest male friend I've probably ever had, and he does that too, to some degree, but I've always had Izzy to turn to, so it's not just any port in a storm!"
She glanced sharply at me, and I laughed. "OK, that one was intentional. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention. But the fact that we also have sex, that's just kind of like an off-shoot of the way we relate. It's just a way for us to share and have that closeness that we've always had."

"Humph! I think I'd rather you had a male friend as your 'port in a storm', as you so stupidly put it."

I laughed again. "But I'm not gay!"

"Precisely! You don't have to have sex with the person that's your friend and confidant, the person that listens to your troubles. You just do it because it's a woman, it feels good, and because you've always done it, as you keep saying. Like it's just habit, to get laid every time you're together. Maybe if you two really were just friends it would be easier, but this just feels like so much more."

"Kristi, we've tried, believe me! When she and Paul married we knew that sharing our bodies along with our thoughts and feelings was through, that we could no longer do that. But then we got together, like I told you, and boom, there it was. Apparently if we're going to see each other, we're going to fuck, we know that now, we've had to acknowledge that truism. We met at a resturant one time specifically so that there would be no opportunity for sex and wound up fucking in the parking lot, on the trunk of my rental car. It seems that if we get together, it will happen despite our best intentions."

Kristi's eyes searched my face. "I can't see you doing the deed in a parking lot. That just doesn't sound like you, not even a little."

I shrugged again. "I know, it's not me. But Izz and I learned early on to grab the moment whenever we could, and we've done it in some strange places at various times. I could tell you a few stories!"

She smiled softly. "I'd like to hear them, but some other time, OK? So it really is just sex between you? You're not really lovers?"

Oh God, how could I answer that? I chose honesty; everything else had already failed. "I do love her Kristi, I know I do. It's just different. As for the sex, no, we're not lovers. We love each other deeply, that's true, but not as lovers. We each need someone else to fulfill that role for us, and she has Paul. I hope I have you."

She looked at me, and her eyes filled with tears. "What if I asked you to leave her Adam, to never see her again? Who would you choose?"

Even though I'd known inside that she would ask me that question, I had no response ready. It was as if she'd asked me if I had to choose which arm to have removed, which I would choose. I had formed a powerful attachment to both my arms, and to both my women. I would almost rather die myself than lose either, so that's what I told her. "But if I really had to choose... Kristi, I'd choose you. Every time."

She sobbed. "But you'd hate me for it."

I pulled her to me, and she came without resistance. "No. If there's one thing I think we both know, it's that I can never hate you. No, I think you make your choices and you move on. You live with what you've chosen to do and try to be happy, and I know I can be very, very happy with you." I paused. "So is that it? Do I have to tell Izzy I can never see her again? Because I will, if that's what you want."

"Adam..."

"No, I mean it. Do I have to cut off all contact, or can I still talk to her on the phone, and email and stuff?" My chest ached at the thought, but I knew I'd do it if Kristi needed me to. Then I remembered something. "Oh crap! Um, one thing though. They - you know, her and Paul, they want to have one more baby, they want to try one last time for a little girl to go with their three boys, and they asked if I'd help them again. I had planned to ask you first..."

She laughed through her tears. "Perfect Adam, great timing! Why does it have to be you, can I ask that?"

"I don't know. Comfort zone, I guess. They don't want to have just anyone's baby, just a reach into the proverbial DNA grab bag. They've talked it out and are both very comfortable with the idea that it's me. They trust me to never try to interfere. Plus the whole insemination process was, uh, more, uh, natural, I guess you'd say. You know, not artificial."

She elbowed me. "And a lot more fun too, right?"

"Well, yeah, it was. But I'm sure they would be fine with me just squirting in a jar and doing it the expensive way, if that's what you insist on. Whatever works for everyone involved. And now you're involved."

"I still think that was weird. I just can't believe her husband was OK with you sleeping with her to get her pregnant."

"Mmm, well, we didn't sleep much, to be honest with you. Kristi, it was actually his idea that we do it that way. I was OK with the jerk off /test tube /eyedropper method, but he wouldn't hear of it."

She stared. "You're joking!"

"No, not at all! Let's see, I probably can't put it as eloquently as he did, but when I offered to fill a jar for them he said something like 'No, this is life we're talking about creating, and that should happen between two people that care about each other in peace and love and caring and not in a lab somewhere with test tubes and beakers and bright lights.' Or something like that."

A tear ran slowly down her cheek, and I caught it on my finger and tasted the saltiness of it. She slowly shook her head. "Wow! Paul really is something special, isn't he? He must love her very much."

"He does. And she him. And their kids, they're just an amazing family, something special. Any kid born into that home is a very lucky child indeed."

She shook her head. "Adam, I can't deny you - or them - that. If they need you to knock her up again, so be it. I can probably live with that. The rest of it, the ongoing relationship, that I just don't know about. Not yet. Do you think maybe I could meet them sometime?"

"Izzy has been wanting to meet you for some time now. She kept pushing me to tell you about her and I, to explain about us like she did with Paul. I'd like you to meet them, although the idea scares the shit out of me."

She laughed. "Why?"

I shook my head ruefully. "Because she knows way too much incriminating stuff about my life, things you don't know about yet. All kinds of crap like what a dweeb I used to be when I was a kid, what kind of stuff makes me all weepy like a girl, all kinds of shit! I'm not sure I need her filling you in on all that!"

She hugged me and laughed out loud, a beautiful sound to hear. The duck grumbled again, apparently disagreeing with my assessment. "Oh Adam, you're still a dweeb, and I heard you sniffling when I forced you to watch Message In A Bottle with me. You're not really very good at keeping those secrets yourself, you know."

"I suppose. By the way, now you're the one sticking to the nautical theme with your movie choice. You could have just said Bambi."

She laughed again. "You cried when Bambi's mother died?"

"Give me a break, I was just a kid when I saw it. Now I realize she wasn't real, the cartoonist just stopped drawing her. Duh!" I hesitated. "I cried when I talked to Izzy, when I was so sure I was losing you."

She suddenly looked serious, and sad. "You talk to Izzy about me?"

"Kristi, I talk to Izzy about everything. Everything! She says all I talk about is you. She was pretty sure you must be some kind of angel brought to earth, to hear me tell it."

"She probably thought I was horrible, for what I did."

I shook my head. "No, not really. She sympathized with me, but thought it was probably just a misunderstanding, something we'd failed to communicate on. She didn't believe me at first, then she told me I'd be a fool to risk losing you just over a, mmm, uh, sexual indiscretion."

"She said that?"

"Yeah, sort of. She said she'd never seen me as happy, in our whole lives, as I'd been since you entered my life, and that she could see it whenever I talked about you. And she told me that I knew what I needed to do. Like I said, she didn't try to solve my problem, she just helped me see that I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life."

"Adam, I'm starting to think maybe I love Izzy too! Does this mean that you're OK with my weird sexual desires and things? You can accept me being such a wanton slut?"

"Baby, it means I'm trying. No guarantees, but Izzy reminded me that life doesn't come with those."

She was silent for a long time, but it felt good just to sit and hold her. It was beginning to get pretty cool out there on the shore, and the rock we were resting on had lost much of it's retained solar heat, but Kristi felt warm in my arms. When she spoke it was so softly that I almost didn't hear her. "Adam, I love you. I'll quit, if that's what you want. You were willing to give up your Izzy. I guess I can be faithful to just you, if you feel you need that from me."

"Kristi, I'm trying to learn to accept the real you. It probably won't always be a smooth path, if last night's blow-up with Ty is any indication."

"Then I'll quit. I'll just be boring old monogamous Kristi."

I laughed. "Well, let's not be too hasty!"

Laughing, she rose to her feet in one smooth feline motion and stood over me, very close. "You liked it! You actually liked seeing me get fucked by those big, hard cocks, didn't you?"

I held up my hands, palms out. "Whoa, girl! I'm not sure I'd say I liked it! It was weird, for sure, but very intense, very exciting. I don't know just how to describe..."

She ran her hand over her stomach and up to her breast, finding and squeezing her erect nipple. Her other hand started below her navel and dipped to her sex, her middle finger sliding into the shallow indentation at the front of her pussy, and I knew she was touching her clit. "You liked it Adam, admit it! You liked seeing those big, hard cocks slip into my wet little pussy, didn't you? I was so wet, like I am right now! I saw how big and hard you were, and that Britt and Pam don't get all the credit for that! Did you like it when I spread my legs wayyy apart and let Ty take me with that magnificent curved cock of his?"

She spread her legs as she spoke, widening her stance as she stroked herself inches from my face, reminding me of what had transpired just a few hours before. I heard the sound of her fingers in her wetness, and I could faintly scent her arousal.

I growled. "God! How do you go from angry and sad to contrite to aroused so damn fast?" I felt myself getting hard, watching and hearing her, the teasing and the sounds she made working on my mind. And on my cock.

"I'm a woman Adam. We're unpredictable, you should know that! Now tell me, you enjoyed seeing me cum on Ty's cock, and his cum dripping out of me, didn't you? Because I sure enjoyed you watching me."

"It made me very horny Kristi. You are so unbelievably beautiful when you're totally wrapped up in getting fucked, do you know that? Watching you have an orgasm is...incredible! And I could tell you were enjoying him, and his funky cock. You did love that, didn't you?"

She smiled playfully. "Well, it was really nice. He hit all the right places! I still love yours best though, it's so nice and big, and just look how willing it is!" She bumped me with her hip. "Don't get the wrong idea though, I don't love you just for your big ten inch cock. I'd probably still love you even if it was only nine and a half!"

She laughed and tried to skip away, but I grabbed her before she could move, wrapping my arms around her legs and grasping her firm, muscular buttocks in my hands. I pulled her to me and kissed her hard, flat stomach, just below her navel, then licked her navel with my tongue. She giggled and wiggled in my grasp, and I moved my attentions slowly lower, kissing and licking her stomach until the tip of my tongue found the front of her cleft and snaked between her moist lips to find the hard button of her aroused clit. She gasped, and her body spasmed in my hands.

"Oh god yes Adam, eat my pussy! I need you Adam, I really need you, now and always!"

She moved forward, pressing her aroused sex to my face and forcing me to lean back. Her hands were on my head, holding my face to her as I lapped at her, and she kept forcing me back until she was straddling my face. I leaned back onto my hands on the rocks behind me and served her, willingly paying homage to her aroused sex, licking at her hard clit and swollen labia and thrusting my tongue into the wet heat of her vagina. I was as hard as the rocks I was sitting on, and I could taste the semen in her pussy, still, even after her swim across the bay!

I came up for air momentarily, and told her so. "Baby, I can still taste the cum in you! God!"

She pushed herself back to my lips as she answered. "You came in me last Adam, so it's probably yours." She laughed. "Mostly! Now be quiet and focus!"

I did, swallowing a small flow of cum that I knew was not all my own, and she came, thrusting against my lips and crying out. Her sounds silenced the duck and the coyotes, and I knew if anyone was awake on the deck of the boats they could easily hear her cumming. I didn't care, and I made her cum again.

As her spasms from the second orgasm died down I pulled her down, onto my cock, and she continued the motion, lowering herself until she was fully impaled on my rigid length. I didn't notice the discomfort of the hard stone under my ass as she straddled my lap, just the heavenly heat, moisture, and grip of her pussy as she pulled me in. I gasped, almost overcome by the sensation.

She looked at me. "You're not cumming already, are you?"

I groaned. "No. Almost. And why not, you did!"

"Doesn't count, I can still go the rest of the night if you can! I want you to fuck me until you sand all the skin off your butt on the sandstone!" She laughed.

"What a lovely thought! It'll be light soon, maybe I'll call in reinforcements!" She was slowly, seductively sliding up and down my cock, using her talented pussy muscles to squeeze and milk me.

"Suits me stud, you know that! The more, the merrier!"

I laughed. "Ohhh damn Kristi, this is so incredible, but I really can't wait to get you home in private, just the two of us, where I can have you all alone, all night."

"Mmmm, that does sound nice, Just you and m.... " she stopped moving suddenly, and speaking, and I looked at her face. Her eyes went wide, and she looked totally shocked, then her hand flew to her mouth as if in surprise and she buried her face against my shoulder! I felt her moving, shaking as though she was crying, and it scared me.

"Kristi, what? What's wrong? Are you hurt, are you OK? What's the matter?"

She raised her head and looked at me, and I was surprised to see she was laughing! "Oh Adam, oh my god, have I done it this time! I'm afraid I've really complicated your life for you sweetheart, but it's partly your own fault too, for keeping secrets!" She was off again, in gales of laughter, her body rocking and contracting on my hardness as she laughed.

I was mystified. "Kristi, what have you done? What are you talking about?"

"Why don't I wait and tell you when we're done, so I can run and hide?" She laughed again.

"Just tell me, you can't quit now!"

"Well, OK, but you're not going to believe it!"

That was a dirty trick. I was just like Adam, relaxing in the warm glow of a conflict almost resolved when .. WHAM it all blew up again ... maybe. Very good, Stormy. And welcome back.

Welcome back Stormy, you were missed. Glad you're feeling better.

Here we go again, with your sneaky detours. Please don't worry about our expectations, you've already exceeded all of them with this wonderful story. No matter where this heads, I'm sure it will be entertaining for us.

Thank you.

TrF2

stormy!!!!!!!
That's so mean of you.
go on noowwwwwwwwwwww, pleeeeeeeaseeeeee

Stormy

That was a very loving sex scene, and then you left us in suspense. Nice work!

GH

peak, TrF2, story, and GH - Thanks for all the nice comments and kind words, now and previously. I very much appreciate all of it. And now, as story so subtly requested, I'll cut this short and move on:
___________________________________________________________


I looked at her. "Well?"

She giggled. "First you have to promise that you won't be upset. And remember, I didn't know anything about Izzy until now - and that's no one's fault but yours!"

What could I say? "OK, fair enough. Proceed."

"Adam, are you sure you want to talk when we should be making love?"

She squeezed me inside of her as she said that, and I let out an involuntary groan. "Ohhh, damn!"

"See? You should really focus on what you're doing. You know what happens when you try to walk and chew gum."

"Kristi, I'm not moving a muscle until you tell me what's going on." I tried to sit very still, but couldn't help responding to her gentle rocking.

"So you want me to stop doing this." She squeezed me again, and I gasped. "And this." She rocked her hips forward and pushed down onto me. I lowered my head and shuddered in pleasure. "You're sure you want me to just talk, huh?"

It took an incredible force of will, but I said yes.

She sighed theatrically. "Well, OK then. As long as you're sure you're not going to lose that hard-on if I stop moving."

"I think as long as you're within a hundred yards of me, staying hard will be no problem!"

She laughed. "You say the nicest things! OK, first, remember you asked me to stay at the house and take care of Ralph."

"I know."

"While I was there one evening your phone rang, and I answered it. Turned out it was a young woman, looking for you. It seems she'd been trying your cell phone and couldn't reach you - probably because you were off in the hinterlands of Wyoming, where civilization has yet to arrive."

My curiosity was killing me, and she knew it. Which, of course, was why she was extending the tale with her little comments. "Yeah, fine! Go on."

She stared into my eyes and bit her lower lip in concentration as she used her incredibly well-trained muscles to squeeze and milk at my cock. I shuddered again, and groaned. "Oohhhh, fuck!"

"Let me tell this my way. It's the least you can do!" I nodded helplessly.
"OK then. Well, anyway, when she couldn't reach you she got very resourceful and tracked down your home phone number - which she didn't have - by calling Ronnie's assistant. He, of course, has all of our numbers on his speed dial."

She was dragging this out on purpose. I looked over her shoulder at the sky, and was sure I saw a slight pinkish glow on the horizon. It did seem to finally be getting light. She went on.

"The young lady was very disappointed to discover you weren't home, and couldn't be reached, but as it turned out we had a very nice conversation. It seems you have quite an admirer out there - did you know that?"

"Kristi, I have no idea what you're..."

"Rain, Adam! You do remember Rain, the little tiger that wore you out and tore you up? Jeez, you're kind of slow sometimes! Of course, that was almost two weeks ago, and blood flow to your brain is a little impeded at the moment, I suppose!" She squeezed me again, to emphasize her meaning. It was a valid point.

"Rain? Really, she called?" For some reason I found the fact that she had called me very pleasing, especially knowing she had gone to the trouble to track down my home number, which I'd never given her. "What did she want? How's she doing?"

"Duh, she wanted you, obviously! And she's not doing too well. We talked for over two hours."

"You talked to Rain for two hours? What's wrong with her? Anything we can help with?"

"Yeah, we kind of hit it off. She's actually pretty sweet, and we do have something in common. We both think most men can be real assholes sometimes!"

"Uhhh..."

"Oh, not you Adam, at least not this time! Her husband dumped her, kicked her out - can you believe that?"

Remembering Morgan, I could believe it. She had told me that she was sure he was ready to divorce her and trade down to a younger woman - again - but I'd hoped they would be able to patch things up after the strange and difficult evening they spent with us. It had looked like they would, and when I'd last spoken to her she had been happy and optimistic about it. It appeared he had reverted to form, as Kristi had predicted he would. He was vain, egotistical, and self-centered, and the leopard didn't change its spots.

"Oh, I hate to hear that! How was she doing?" Poor sweet Rain, that jerk had no idea what he was losing!

"She was struggling Adam. Hurt and scared, more than a little confused. She thought things were working out, but I knew he was an ass. He just couldn't handle that she had cheated on him with you, despite the fact that he spent the evening trying to get into my pants. Or at least near my pants, before he came on himself."

"As I recall it, you didn't have pants on. Of any variety."

"True. So it's just an expression. But she's in pretty tough shape, and wanted to talk to you."

I hated that I'd missed her call when she was hurting! "Well, when we get in cell phone range again I should probably call her and see how she's doing." I looked at her to find her studying me. "If that's OK with you, I mean."

She laughed. "Yeah, that's fine. You could do that. But call her at our house. Or you could just wait and surprise her when we get home."

It took me a second or two to understand what she'd just said. "At our house? She's at our house?"

"She needed a place to stay Adam, and friends around her. You remember what it was like right after you separated from your wife. I know I should have checked with you first, but I invited her to come and stay with us for awhile. It seemed like the right thing to do. I left a key with Scottie for her, and told him about her coming. I hope you're not upset."

I'm not sure what I was, but I wasn't upset. "No, no, not at all! Surprised, maybe, but not upset. That was very generous of you. You know, with you and I trying to work out a few things, the problems we've been having, that was a very bold move, and very, uhhh, caring, I guess. Very, very nice. You always amaze me!"

She leaned her head on my shoulder as she spoke. "Well, that was part of the reason I did it Adam. I wasn't sure we would make it, you know, that you would want me to stay, and I knew you liked her a lot. There was no reason for you to be so hurt and lonely just because I'd screwed up, and I thought if she was there with you... well, maybe it would help make up for what I did." She rocked gently on me as she said that, and I felt this incredible intimacy, this closeness, that we could talk so easily and openly while she held me deeply inside of her body. The thought that she had invited Rain to come and be with me out of her love and caring and worry for me was just an overpowering gift, and I felt her warmth and love like never before. I felt all choked up.

"Kristi, baby, you're an incredible woman!" My voice sounded husky to me. "That may be the most loving and generous thing I've ever heard of! I just can't believe you did that, for me or for her. You are really something special, in case I've never mentioned it."

She chuckled. "I am, aren't I? Of course, that was before I knew about Izzy. I was all worried that you would be lonely if we broke up, but you had another woman on the side already! I should have known!"

"Ummm, it's really not like that."

She laughed. "Sure it is! And now you're stuck with me - you do want to be stuck with me, right?"

I hugged her close and felt her hug me, inside and out. "Absolutely! I want to be stuck with you for at least the next hundred years or so. Then we'll see."

She laughed again. It feels very good to be inside of her when she laughs. "And you've got Izzy, who wants your baby. As do I, by the way. And now Rain will be with us. If you think I had your life in turmoil before, just think of the hell you're going to go through with two women in your home, and three in your life! See what I mean about having gone and done it now?"

I was thinking how likely it was that Kori would add a few more rocks to the road ahead. "Well, I'm sure Rain won't stay long. Just until she gets on her feet."

Kristi giggled again. "Actually, she wants to go back to school, and is considering the University of Colorado or D.U. Apparently their pre-nup requires Morgan to pay for her to finish her degree, and I told her she could probably live there while she goes to school. For two more years. After all, you're gone most of the time."

"Oh. Well. I do remember her saying that Morgan had to pay for that. She should probably go to the University of Denver, in that case. It's way more expensive. What am I supposed to do with you and her both around for the next two years - won't that be, uh, awkward?"

Kristi smiled. "Oh, I'm sure she'll find a boyfriend, she's very beautiful."

I felt a pang of jealousy. Very odd.

Kristi started moving on me, slowly fucking me. "Or, Adam, I suppose I could keep her entertained. She is a very good kisser. You do remember that kiss, right?"

I certainly did! That incredibly erotic kiss, and the way they had touched!

"Would you like that Adam? Would you like to see me make love to her? I wonder if I could get her as aroused as you did, the way she tore you up with her nails. Do you think I could make her cum like that?"

I felt sure of it! I also felt sure that the mental image Kristi was stirring up would have me jetting inside of her very soon. I groaned and thrust into her. "God, Kristi!"

She laughed, but I could hear the arousal, the approach of her own orgasm, in her voice. "Or maybe she could do me, would you like that better? I bet she'd be very good at it. Just the way she touched me made me very wet, and she only touched my face. I think she'd be a very good lover for me, don't you Adam?"

The mental image of the petite, demure, sexy little Rain and my tall sleek, muscular Kristi entwined, loving, touching, satisfying each other had me on the verge, and I was breathing heavily. Kristi cut me no slack.

"And with you gone so much, she could move into our bed while you're away. I think she wanted me Adam, and I've always wanted to experiment a little. I did find her very attractive and sexy. Would it be hard for you, so many miles away, thinking about me softly touching her, and sucking her little pink nipples, and slowly tasting her wet little pussy and putting my tongue inside of her? Do you think I could make her cum? At least you'd know I wasn't with another man."

That did it, that image of Kristi's beautiful face between Rain's legs, making her cum, and I exploded inside of her, grabbing her hips and thrusting into her! She clutched my neck in a death grip and rode it, her words pushing her to her own orgasm simultaneous with mine, and we held each other through all the convulsions and animal noises of a shattering orgasm as I filled her with my seed for the second time that night. Or, rather, the first time that morning, as it was now becoming quite light.

We hadn't noticed that.

You did have some time to do some planning, didn't you? Excellent twist, I'd forgotten about Rain. You have enough interesting story lines hanging out there to keep this thing going for a long, long time Stormy. Whatever you decide to do, thanks. I really like the way that Adam and Kristi have patched things up, good job. I was hoping that they would stay together.

Wondering how you're going to get those two back on the boat? I guess they're going to have to swim back out there. I'm assuming that the boats are all still tied together. Does Cialis override shrinkage?

Thanks again.

TrF2

Well done Stormy

Nothing like adding a little more chaos to a story and Rain certainly has the potential to add chaos.

You do realize that if you keep adding characters you could still be writing this story when you are a very old man and we all hope that's exactly what will happen.

GH

Stormy,
I don't think I can add to the above two comments. I think they summed it all up quite nicely, so I'll just say Thanks. Again. Wonderful. Plus, I always did like Rain, I'm glad she's back.

TrF2, GH, and peak, thanks again for the comments. I know, I know, the storylines! I just can't seem to help myself. Perhaps, as you said, it will be good to have something to keep me busy in my dotage, although keeping it interesting with all of our heros chasing each other around in walkers and wheelchairs may be tough to pull off.
Kind of did want to see Rain again though...
_____________________________________________________________


We clung helplessly to each other as the waves of pleasure from our mutual climax slowly receded, her arms around my neck and legs around my waist, my arms around her, both of us panting like we'd just run a marathon. She melted against me, the way she does, and I'd have been perfectly satisfied to have the moment last forever.

When she caught her breath she laughed softly and murmurred into my chest "Adam, sometimes you're just too easy. All I have to do is feed you the right brain porn and you're mine! Was that as good for you as it sounded and felt like?"

I groaned, and heard a slight quaver in my voice as I spoke. "Oh my god! I think you're killing me, but I'm not complaining. And anyhow, I think you got yourself with that little image you painted - it seems you came pretty good too!"

"Mmmm-hmmm! But having you inside of me may have helped just a little. So do I infer from this that you're not terribly upset about Rain coming to, uh, stay with us for awhile?"

"So you were actually serious about that - you weren't just messing with my head?"

She shook her head aginst my shoulder. "Oh no, I was serious! I had intended for you to just come home and be surprised, before I knew I would be joining you here, but it's better this way. I can't believe that with the party, and then the whole Izzy thing, I almost forgot all about her! At least now you and I have a better idea where we stand, and I'm not so afraid that Rain will take my place."

"Kristi, I don't understand. If you were afraid of that, why in the world would you have invited her in the first place?"

She leaned back so that she could look me in the eye. "I wasn't so much afraid of you dropping me for her." She paused, considering. "It was more a case of worrying about you deciding that you couldn't stand for us to stay together on the terms I'd laid out, and then using her to fill the gap so you wouldn't even miss me. I know you really like her."
She moved slightly, and I felt my rapidly softening penis move inside of her, slipping out a little. "Adam, the idea that you might not even miss me hurt so much!"

"And yet you asked her to come and stay. Amazing! Kristi, you need to know that I agonized over whether we should stay together or move on, for days, and every time it came down to being without you in my future... Well, I just couldn't stand it! I mean, it was completely unimaginable! I appreciate what you thought you were doing, with Rain, it's incredibly selfless and generous, and she's a very fascinating lady. But she's not you. That gap could never be filled." I hugged her tightly.
"Do you remember how I told you once, early on, that I felt like I'd been waiting my whole life for you?"

"Of course I remember!"

"Well, that wasn't just bullshit to get in your pants. By then I pretty much knew that you were as horny as I was - maybe more so." She slapped my arm. "I absolutely meant every word, and I know that lightning won't strike twice for me. If I'd have walked away I would have missed you forever. You know I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, so it pains me to say this, but Kristi, you complete me."

She buried her face against my chest, and I heard her sniffle before she spoke. "I know. I could tell when we met that you were a work in progress."

I laughed, surprised by her teasing at that tender moment, and she laughed too. "Sorry, just kidding! So you don't think having Rain there, at the house, will be a problem?"

"Not for me!" I knew immediately that I'd answered too quickly.

She laughed again. "Pretty sure of yourself, aren't you? I think you're kind of looking forward to having your own little harem. How do you know we won't chain you up and make you serve us, it is two to one, after all."

Either way, the thought sent a little tingle down my spine directly to my tired groin. "She's little. The two of you together barely weigh what I do, I think I can take you."

"I'll draft Kori to help, then we could get you hogtied."

"You put that combination together and I'll gladly let you tie me up! Of course, you're going to have to tie Ronnie to the chair right next to me, because no way is he gonna want to miss that!"

She laughed, and I slipped out of her, my cock flopping wetly onto the cool rock under me. She gasped. "Ohh! I hate it when you fall out of me, I wish I could just keep you there forever!"

I felt the cum run from her and down my cock to the rock below. I was surprised that I'd had much left to pump into her. "Sorry babe, can't keep it up indefinitely. All good things must end! Speaking of which, it's morning, we should probably think about getting back out to the boat before everyone is up."

"In a little while, not right now. OK? I'm not ready yet, I want just us a little longer."

I agreed. "OK, sure. I'm fine with just us. Kristi, about Izzy..."

"I'm not sure about that Adam. I need some time to think about it, like you had. I think I sort of understand, but it's all very hard to wrap my head around right now."

"No, that's fine, I understand. What I was going to say was how very sorry I am that I didn't level with you up front. It was stupid, it got away from me, and it turned into lies and deceit. It was there, it was a fact, and I should have told you. Instead I made it into something ugly and sordid. Which it's not."

She thought for a moment. "I hate that you felt you needed to lie to me, but I don't think the whole thing is ugly. Just the lies. The rest of it is what shaped you, and I love you, so it can't be all bad. I would like to meet them sometime, Izzy and Paul, I mean."

"I know they'd love to meet you too. Izzy at least. You'd like them, I think."

"I think so too. It would be fascinating to see a little half-you running around."

I laughed. "I think he looks like Paul. He just knows me as a friend of his parents, although they do plan to explain it all to him when he's a little older. I have no illusions about who his father really is, and it's sure not the guy that was there for a few minutes one night!"

"A few minutes! I hope you did better than that!"

"Actually, I did. We spent the whole night. I was understating for effect. Anyhow, do you want me to give her up for now, until you decide? I'd have to explain, but Izzy would understand. At least in the short term."

She cocked her head and looked at me. "Adam, if I asked you to do that it would make me one of those women that finds her perfect man and says 'You're perfect, I love you, now change.' I can't do that. You should stay in touch with her, just don't hide it!"

"Agreed!" I was extremely relieved. I'd have cut things off with Izzy, for Kristi, but it would have been very painful.

She went on. "As far as another sperm donation, straight from the horse's - or mule's - whatever, I guess that's OK too. It would be unfair to deny that, and Paul has a point about the lab procedure. I'd hate to have to go through that myself! Just don't enjoy it too much, OK?"

"I'll try."

She laughed. "Sure!" She shook her head. "You're such a butt! Hey, look, one of the boats is leaving!"

She was right, one of the smaller houseboats fired up its motor and began to pull away. As it got clear of the raft of boats we could see that it had a motorboat tied on behind, and I realized it was our hosts, Doug, Pam, Steve, and Meg, and the other couple that was traveling with them.

"Hey, you're right. That's Doug's boat, you know, him and Pam and all. Kori will be so disappointed that Doug is gone! They're the ones that set this up, you know. It's a big lake, apparently they have other people to corrupt."

Kristi laughed. "Admit it, you enjoyed it! You went from prude to man of steel, like you had a perpetual hard-on. Obviously you were enjoying yourself."

"Yes, well, about that, and in the interest of full disclosure..." I told her about the Cialis that Sue had given me, and it's effect on enhancing my abilities. But yes, it had still been me, and I had enjoyed it, which I also told her.

She seemed intrigued. "Cialis. Isn't that the one that's supposed to last thirty six hours or so?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"And when did you take it?"

"Mmm, let's see. About fourteen hours ago, I suppose."

"Well well!" She reached between us and began fondling my cock, tugging at me. "Should we test their claims?"

I shuddered at her touch, my tired flesh tingling. "Kristi, it's a wonder drug, not a magic elixir. Let's go have some breakfast, maybe then..."

It was late. Meant to mention and forgot, Happy Thanksgiving to all! Alternatively, if you're not in the U.S. of A., happy belated Oktoberfest. Or early winter solstice, or whatever.
I hope you all have a great one!

Back at ya Stormy. Thanks for the latest chapter. Now go eat some bird.

TrF2

this is not a story like the other thousands and thousands (I didn't read them all though )
This is FINE LITERATURE

Stormydog is a real writer!!!! superb!!! (you have a Fan in Germany)

regards storyfan

That was resolved very nicely

GH

TrF2 and GH, thanks for your comments.

Story, I'm glad that you enjoy the tale and I appreciate your very kind words. It's a big kick for me to know that various people around the world are reading along and enjoying this!
I'm not yet completely jaded by the ease with which we can communicate world wide over the internet, I find it amazing still. I've heard from folks in England, Germany, France, Italy, India, Canada, the U.S. (of course, lots of kinky folks here!) and possibly a couple places I'm forgetting. I love it! Thanks for taking time to add a note.
__________________________________________________________


She laughed as she rose from my lap. "You, passing up sex for food, I never thought I'd see the day! Of course, you have had more than your fair share of the former in the last several hours."

She had risen with cat-like grace to the exact position which had started all this, her taut stomach and the V of her sex just inches from my face. I looked up at her to see if she had done so intentionally, to tease, only to discover that she was gazing up at the bluff to our east. The sun was just beginning to peek over the top of the rock, lighting her from mid-thigh up with a rosy golden glow, and she had this incredibly sexy post-coital look, aroused yet satiated, well used, but also well loved, her blond curls a glowing corona around her glorious face. As had previously happened to me dozens of times over the past couple years, I was struck totally speechless by her beauty, and could only stare as she raised her hands over her head in a long, luxurious stretch.

Seemingly totally unaware of the effect she was having on me, she stood gazing around at the incredible colors the rising sun had drawn from the surrounding rock formations. I have no doubt that the efffect was spectacular, but I couldn't seem to tear my gaze from her to take it in. She was so close that even in the light breeze I could catch her scent, feminine, sexual, the result of our recent lovemaking. I felt the buttterflies in my stomach, and my mouth watered involuntarily as I leaned forward just enough to gently kiss her smooth mound.

As if just realizing that I was still there with her, she dropped one hand to my head, the other to my left shoulder. "Mmmm! That's nice, but I thought you were the one that wanted to go get some breakfast."

"Mmm, yeah, I do, but I never specified what was on the menu." I kissed her again, slightly lower.

She laughed. "And I thought I was the one that was supposed to be insatiable! I really think I'm done for now, so you're probably wasting your time."

I watched a small pearl of milky semen slide from her outer lip and down the inside of her smooth thigh, leaving a shiny wet trail behind. "Babe, I consider it time well spent." I pushed my tongue into the front of her cleft, finding her seemingly perpetually aroused clit withdrawn, resting, retracted beneath its fleshy hood. I flicked at her gently with the tip of my tongue.

"Adam, I really don't think you're going to...Ohhh, god!" I felt her shudder suddenly, her surprise exclamation gasped out on a shaky breath. She pushed at my shoulders with her hands. "Please stop, I'm done, I can't...ohhh fuck, oh damn you! Stop that!"

Her body was running ahead of her, making lies of her protestations, and her legs parted slightly as she thrust herself against my lips. I felt her clit harden and protrude, slightly startled by how quickly it happened but not pausing to marvel about it. Focusing on her clit as I was, there was only the slightest taste of our lovemaking, but her sexual scent was strong and it drove me on. She was mine now, moaning and pushing herself to me, demanding satisfaction, and I cupped her firm ass in my hands and gave her what she demanded, using my tongue on her most tender flesh to drive her to a shuddering climax, one that left her weak and gasping.

She stepped back when finished, and I let her go, more than a little amazed myself by the suddenness and intensity of her orgasm. She was stunned and breathless, and she bent forward, putting her hands on her knees and breathing heavily. I saw her shiver with a sudden aftershock before she spoke. "My god Adam, are you trying to prove something or what?"

"Uhh, maybe, but only that I can't resist you, even if I wanted to. Which I don't."

She laughed softly. "Perfect! But if I'm willing to stipulate that I realize you can't resist me, do you think you can stop proving it for awhile? A couple of hours, maybe? I think you're killing me!" She laughed again.

I smiled up at her. "But not a bad way to go, right?" I rose to my feet, groaning, the sudden aches in my ass, back, and legs reminding me how long I'd been sitting on the hard stone surface. Part of the time with her on top of me! I rubbed my back. "Funny, nothing seemed to hurt when we were having sex, and now everything does!"

She giggled. "That's because you're so old! I think that's called the endorphin effect. Too bad that's not avialable in pill form too, huh?"

"That's for sure, I could use it!" I ran my hands down over my butt, rubbing out the kinks and brushing off a little loose sand. But it hurt! "Ouch! Oh damn, it seems you got your wish, I did sand the skin off my ass on the rock! Damn, that's really sore!"

Kristi looked at me. "Turn around, let me see you!"

I did, and she laughed uproariously! "Oh Adam, your poor bottom! You have two perfect red circles rubbed raw, one over each cheekbone! That looks very painful, I feel just awful for you!"

"Yes, I can tell by the way you're laughing that you must truly ache for me!"

That set her off again, racked by giggles. "No, it's awful! It just looks so funny, and after us kidding about it too!"

"Humph! Thanks! I guess I know where not to come for sympathy! I bet Kori will feel sorry for me. Maybe she has some lotion or something she can rub on it that might help."

Kristi was still chuckling. "Oh Adam, don't be such a big baby! Even if you do have nice rosy red cheeks!" She set herself laughing again with that.

"Thanks! You wouldn't find it so funny if it was your butt."

She turned and thrust her perfect ass out at me, rubbing one hand over her sensuously curved bottom. "Would you find anything funny in potentially damaging this flawless little ass?"

"Mmmm, no. That would be a crime. Disaster, you might say. Get it, dis-assed-her?"

"That's a terrible joke Adam. I got it, but don't want it. Any joke you have to explain..."

"Sorry. But you make a very valid point about that perfect little tush, let's just say I took one for the team. Well, should we swim for it?"

She looked out at the boats. "Give me a couple more minutes. I'm still a little shaky from that last workout you just put me through, I'm not sure I could make it that far."

I stepped to her and put my arm around her, both of us standing stark naked on the shoreline in the rising sun. It was quite cool out, and I felt the coolness of her skin against me as she put her arm around my waist. She shivered. "I'm not much looking forward to getting into that cold water!"

"Actually, with the air this cool, the water should feel pretty warm. But I know what you mean. And I really need a nap much more than a swim!"

We heard a loud thump and rattle, as if somebody had dropped something heavy on one of the boat decks, the sound traveling clearly across the water the way it does. We could also hear voices of people conversing, not well enough to make out what was being said, and what sounded like a radio news broadcast in the background. There was the sound of a big splash, also from the direction of the boats, and we could see movement as our friends and new acquaintances began to wake and move around. I saw someone on the upper deck of the rear boat, Miguel's boat, look in our direction. I was sure it was Britt, by the way the sun gleamed off her white-blonde hair, and she raised one hand to shade her eyes.

We heard a motor cough to life and soon a brightly colored Waverunner shot out from behind the raft of larger craft, headed out toward the open lake before it turned in a wide arc and circled to the left of the boats, heading back in toward shore. Initially headed to a point roughly a hundred feet to our left, the rider must have spotted us on shore, and he corrected course, steering a line directly toward us. The distance quickly closed, and we could see that it was Cody riding the PWC, and that he was intentionally heading for us.

He was maintaining a high rate of speed, headed directly at the shore, until he turned parallel at the last possible second and cut his motor, pushing his bow wave up almost to our feet. He stopped, bouncing slowly on his own waves just a couple of feet offshore. "Hey! Are you guys all right? Everyone's been a little worried about you."

Kristi smiled. "Yeah, we're fine!" She squeezed me tightly. "Aren't we, Adam?"

"Sure, we're good. A little hungry, a little cold, a whole lot naked, but otherwise fine." Cody had on big, baggy, brightly colored swim trunks, and for the first time in several hours I felt totally naked, and more than a little embarrassed about it. Kristi seemed completely unfazed and stood facing him openly. I don't know if she was aware of the way his eyes devoured her body, but I was. Not that I could blame him!

Cody smiled. "Well, you look great! This is such a perfect setting that I feel like I'm a gate-crasher at the Garden of Eden or something! Your friend Kori thought you might be ready for a little breakfast and asked me to come check." He looked at me. "She said it would be very out of character for you in particular to skip breakfast!" He laughed.

I grumbled. "Yeah, well, she's right of course. It is that time of day! How come she didn't send Ronnie?"

Cody chuckled again. Anyone in this good of a mood this early in the morning was definitely a pain in my ass! "He's still sleeping, almost everyone is. Kori was up and had the coffee going, and I'm always an early riser, so we shared a cup, and talked. Interesting lady - she sure loves you guys!" He paused, his gaze going back and forth between us as he floated nearby. "Just a couple of others were awake, I think everyone wore themselves out last night. Boy, that party was one for the record books!" He looked at Kristi meaningfully as he said this, and smiled. She smiled back, and I recalled with a tingle of excitement and a stab of pain that they had shared their bodies just hours before, that he had spent himself deep inside of her as I had watched, mesmerized.

I spoke to break their attention, and their eye-flirting. "Yeah, that was quite a party! Guess I kind of screwed it up, huh?"

It worked, he looked back at me. "No, not really. Besides, it was mostly Ty's fault for shooting his mouth off. But the action didn't end when you left, there were still a few good rounds left in some people." He paused. "We should probably get back, me firing up the motor on this thing should have more folks waking up."

Kristi spoke up. "Can we hitch a ride?"

Cody nodded. "Sure, that's why I'm here! I can take one of you out and come back for the other. Who's first?"

I pushed her forward. "You go. I think I'll go ahead and swim out, I can always use the exercise." Truth was, I just didn't see how me climbing onto the Waverunner naked, with Cody, could be anything but extremely uncomfortable.

Kristi sensed this, and laughed. "Oh for pete's sake Adam, I can send your trunks back with him if that's what you're worried about!"

Cody laughed too. "Oh yeah, for sure! She can ride naked with me anytime, but you not so much! I don't require shirt and shoes, but I do demand pants!"

I laughed too, embarrassed that I had been so transparent. "No, no, you go on ahead, I really will swim, I don't mind. I'll join you in a few minutes - grab a cup of coffee for me, OK?"

Kristi shrugged as she stepped away from me and into the water. "Sure, OK. Hey, it really does feel warm!" She looked at Cody. "Can I drive that thing?"

He looked at her, one eyebrow raised. "Have you driven one before?"

I laughed. "Oh yes! She can drive anything, and she loves to go fast. Don't let her scare you!"

He smiled as he slid backwards on the long seat. "It's all yours Captain, you have the helm."

She turned to me. "Would you like it better if I came back and picked you up?"

I felt my stubborn button click on. "I said I'd swim - don't worry about it!"

She shrugged. "OK, if you say so." She swung one long, sleek leg over the seat and settled herself where he'd been sitting, pushing her ass back into his crotch very obviously and intentionally. He put his hands first on her shoulders, then self-consciously moved them to her hips. She laughed and took his hands in her own, moving his left one to her left breast and his right to her crotch. He looked startled and glanced warily at me. I could only shrug and shake my head, very much caught off guard myself, and I saw him squeeze her breast. He smiled, and I watched his right wrist bend and dip as he groped between her legs.

He raised his right hand and looked at it, his fingers coated in creamy semen. He rubbed his thumb and fingers together. "Well, I guess we know how you two have been passsing the time! Very nice!" He placed his hand back where he'd had it, and I saw Kristi bite her lower lip and close her eyes as he pushed his fingers into her. "All right Captain, I've got a good grip, anchors aweigh - or whatever, let's go!"

Kristi started the motor and goosed it a little just to make noise, then did a fast looping circle right in front of me before pausing again. She looked at me, smiling, and called out "Don't be surprised if you beat us there, I might have to ride around for awhile until I figure out what this big hard bump against my lower back is! It feels like a mechanical problem, but I can probably fix it!" She laughed and shot away, and I watched as they bypassed the boats and headed for the open water of the lake, following the path which Doug, Pam, and friends had taken shortly before.

I suppose I should have taken her up on her offer to come back for me. Too late now! I stepped into the water and dove forward to start my swim. It really did feel pretty nice, and I was suddenly famished. And very, very tired.

Very nicely polished off Stormy. I bet that water gives him some grief on his sore bits, but that's your fault for making him so stubborn ! You must do a lot of writing in RL my friend, this is just too consistently good for you not to - and if you don't, you should.

I've always found swimming, much like walking or hiking, to be very conducive to thinking through tough problems and to clearing my head, and I fell into that mode as I swam. The fact that Kristi had so eagerly jumped on the Waverunner and started fooling around with Cody had left me somewhat flummoxed, or perhaps bemused is a better description. It had been unexpected, especially after she had claimed that she was more than completely sexually satisfied. I guess something about Cody must have re-inspired her.

The other alternatives were that she had done it just because she knew it would make me crazy - and she was succeeding admirably, if indeed that was her goal - or else she was testing me, trying to be sure that I wouldn't fly off the handle again. Oh well, I expected that I would find the answer to that question in the next hour or two.

The sting of the water flowing across the abraded skin on my ass distracted me for a moment, and I wondered how long I would have to deal with a bruised butt. I could foresee that I would be a little uncomfortable for a few days, but it had been worth it!

I felt as much as heard the rumble of a boat engine, and I stopped, less that halfway to the boats, treading water as I watched one of the big centrally positioned houseboats, similar to ours, back slowly away from the group and then turn and head out toward the lake. Apparently people were waking up and the party was slowly breaking up. I wondered idly if anyone I knew or had met was on that boat.

I resumed swimming, thinking about how Kristi leaving as she had, with Cody, was still affecting me. I wasn't mad, or even hurt, exactly, but it bothered me nonetheless. The way she had so quickly turned his innocent attempt to hold on to her as they rode into a sexual act had been surprising, and I couldn't help but speculate on where they might be and what they might be doing at that moment. Given her nudity, her looks, and her at times raw sexuality, I should probably have expected a simple boat ride to turn into something more - Cody was only human! I couldn't imagine that they would have sex while bouncing across the surface on the machine, but I guess anything is possible if you try hard enough.

A tingle of excitement rippled through me as I realized that she would probably tell me all about it. If I asked her to. Or begged her. I wondered how long it would be before I would stop feeling that bitter little taste of self-loathing every time I found myself getting excited about the idea of Kristi making love to another man. Or if maybe I never would.

I realized suddenly how incredibly self-involved my thoughts seemed! I thought instead about Kristi, and how she must have felt over the previous few hours, what kind of pain and confusion my admission about Izzy must have caused her! She had been hurt and angry, there could be no doubt about that, but she had rolled with the punch extremely well and had dealt with it in a much more mature and adult manner than I had dealt with her infidelity.

As I neared the boats, I realized that she had never said she was all right with the type of relationship that Izzy's and mine had evolved into after a lifetime of knowing and loving each other. She had said merely that she wouldn't ask me to completely give it up, for now, and had generously agreed to let me provide the DNA that Izzy and Paul had requested, in the manner desired. I'm not sure I could have been that generous if the shoe were on the other foot. I hope I could have been man enough to do so, for something that meant as much to Kristi as Izzy did to me.

I came up to the side of Miguel's boat and could have climbed out there, but that would have left me in the position of strutting across the decks naked to get to my own cabin and find some clothes, not a prospect I wanted to face - especially given the likely negative effects of the cool water and cooler air! Hey, every guy is entitled to a little male pride and the accompanying insecurities!

Instead I swam alongside that boat until I came to ours, and worked my way around to the far side and the ladder. As I began to climb out, a hand was thrust down in front of me, reaching to help me on deck. I took it, glancing up to see who my benefactor was. To my surprise, it was Ty, and almost before I could straighten up he began speaking.
"Hey Adam, welcome back! I guess I owe you an apology. Or at least everyone - and I do mean everyone - around here tells me I do!"

I laughed and shook the water out of my hair. "Ah, so my clever ruse to make you look like the bad guy worked out perfectly, huh?"

He had on shorts and a yellow t-shirt, and he tossed me a towel, laughing. "Better than you could possibly have known! It's a shame you missed it, your friends Ron and Kori had me pinned down, tied up, and ready for castration!"

"Oh, ouch, I am sorry I missed that! Seriously though, I probably owe you an apology too. I tend to overreact sometimes." I finished drying and tied the towel around my waist.

He nodded. "Yeah, maybe just a little. And I tend to shoot off my mouth without thinking."

I agreed. "Yeah, maybe just a little."

We both laughed, and shook hands. He looked at me. "Bygones, OK? You look like you could use a little coffee after that swim, then maybe me and Cody can get you out behind the boat for awhile. Are you as good a skier as your lady is?"

"Well, I can blunder about and jump and go fast, but she makes it look a whole lot prettier and more graceful. I'd enjoy that though, assuming Cody gets back soon."

He looked puzzled. "What do you mean? He's here, they got back a little while before you did. He said you wanted to swim out, or he'd have gone back for you."

I laughed. "Well, that answers one question! She's tough on me, let me tell you! She led me to believe that she and Cody were off for a little early morning fun and games. They must have just circled beyond the boats and come back in."

He chuckled. "Man, she is going to age you fast! You know what though - and don't take this the wrong way - I'm betting she's worth every bit of it."

"She is, no question. But I'm thinking maybe I need to turn her over my knee and paddle that little bottom of hers for abusing my good nature."

He raised his eyebrows. "Oooh! I'll give you a dollar if I can watch! Two if I can help!"

"Nah, then she'd enjoy it too much!"

We were both laughing when Kori walked up, carrying a steaming mug of coffee, which she handed to me before stretching up to give me a kiss. She was warm, her smile was warmer, and her lips were very soft. "Hi sweetie, glad you decided to rejoin us. What's so funny?"

She had on a thick, baby blue terry robe, and looked a little sleepy and tousled. I thought how sexy she looked as I hugged her with my free arm. "Oh, you know K, your friend Kristi just acting up and being mean again."

Kori pretended to pout. "Why is it that she's my friend when she behaves badly and the love of your life when she's being good? That doesn't seem very fair to me!"

I laughed and began to take a sip from my mug, then stopped, frowning."K, you of all people should know I take my coffee black with just a little sugar. I never put cream in it!"

She smiled impishly. "Oh, I know that! I thought maybe just this once you'd like to make an exception, since Britt provided that personally, just for us."

"What? Oh. Oh!" I sipped it. "Delicious! I can't remember when I've ever had a better cup of coffee!"

She and Ty both laughed, and Kori took my arm to lead me across the deck. "You're incorrigible! Throw in a little breast milk and you'll try anything."

"K, it's really not the milk itself that makes it so good - it's those cute little containers it's served in!"

She shook her head. "Except in Britt's case, those containers are not so little! Are you ready for some breakfast? I've got bacon, eggs, toast, some fresh strawberries and melon. Or corn flakes, if you want to be boring and healthy. You could have more milk on your cereal."

I laughed. "Tempting as that is, I'm ready for a real breakfast. All that fresh air has me half starved."

Kori nodded. "All that fresh air and vigorous activity, you mean! Sex, swimming, fighting, more sex, more swimming - of course you're hungry!"

Ty led us into the cabin as I objected. "Hey, there was really no fighting! Just some extremely earnest discussion. But speaking of sex, where is Kristi!"

Someone laughed, off to my right, and I glanced over to find Ron and Cody sitting on one of the sofas. Both were dressed similarly to Ty, in shorts and short sleeves for the cool morning. Ron spoke up. "I like that phrase, 'extremely earnest discussion'! I may have to use that sometime. As for your sex object, she's in the shower; Cody tells me she probably needed one."

I concurred. "Yeah, probably. My fault." I glanced at Cody.

He held up his hands. "Just so you know, I'm an innocent dupe. That whole scam was her idea, I was just along for the ride. Literally and figuratively speaking, that is."

"I figured. Don't feel bad, she can pull that stuff on the best of us."

He nodded ruefully. "Yeah, she's a handful!"

I smiled. "Two handfuls, from what I saw."

He had the decency to blush. "Um, yeah, well, also her idea, you know."

I laughed at his discomfiture. "I know, no hard feelings - well, except the one she mentioned, of course."

He blushed even more deeply, and everyone laughed.

"Hey, what's everyone laughing about?"

All heads turned as Kristi entered the room. She had on a tiny blue bikini bottom with a neutral colored crocheted shawl/cover-up tied across her hips - and nothing else! I was in just my towel, but she was now the least dressed one in the room. Her eyes were bright, her long golden tresses hung down around her shoulders and breasts, still dark and wet from the jet ski ride and the shower, and her nipples were proud and erect. She glowed, she sparkled, and I think even Kori must have wanted her at that moment.

Very good Stormy.

Awesome, just awesome Stormy. I'm sitting here, trying to figure out where you're going with this and to be honest.......I don't have a clue. That's one of the things I like about your writing, you keep mixing it up and keeping us off guard, just like Kristi is doing with Adam. That little bit with Cody was brilliant on her part.

Tiffany should be showing up soon...........will she come alone? Another whole batch of possibilities. I'm guessing you've already planned that part of the story out by now.

Hmmm. Kristi, Kori, Tiffany, Rain, Sue...........Adam's a pretty lucky guy in my book. I want to move to his street and just watch.

Nice job.

Stormy

I'm sitting in a motel in northern New Mexico with my dogs after spending two hard days driving. Today was spent crossing Oklahoma, the Texas panhandle and a big chunk of New Mexico on I40.

What a pleasant surprise to get into the motel, turn on my computer and find these last two posts. They were wonderful.

Thank you very much

GH

PS If anyone out there has a fascination with the American west, I40 from western Oklahoma to New Mexico is classic cowboy country.

Thanks peak. It's odd that your comment wasn't there when I started to enter the next segment, then after I posted it was - and that you should predict the water giving Adam a little grief, probably about as I was typing it! I don't write in RL, except some business letters, proposals, occasional default notices, and this. I used to do a little technical writing some years ago.
Another friend from here asked recently if I thought I could write at a literary level if the sexual focus dried up. Honestly, I'm not sure. My answer was that I write this for fun, and if I had to face the pressure and hassles of producing on demand the fun would probably disappear quickly. I do appreciate the sentiment though.

Triptix, thanks for checking in again! I'm so glad you are still enjoying it.

TrF2 - crap man, that's bad news! I was really hoping you'd know where the hell I was going with this, so you could tell me! It is odd how the women seem to flock to a bumbler like Adam. I think they must want to take care of him so he doesn't hurt himself. Mothering instinct, you know.

GH, glad you're getting away on your trip, hope the golf and weather gods both smile on you. That is great cowboy country, I love it out there. I've found the people to be amazingly open and kind, and extremely honest and easy to deal with in a business sense.
It's not always the prettiest of scenery (understatement, again used for effect), but I do love the big open spaces. It does get prettier in New Mexico.
I've had the pleasure of eating at the Big Texan Steak House in Amarillo, although I didn't get that obscene 72 oz (or whatever it is) gut buster slab of meat! The food was very good, and the giant cowboy out front is unmistakeable. You no doubt saw it if you went thru on I-40.
Thanks for your comments, glad I could bring you a little pleasure on your trip. What kind of dogs do you have?

OK Stormy, I admit it, I peak(ed) over your shoulder just as you wrote it. Either that or I just got lucky seeing the joke as you did. I think in fact you could actually become an honourary Brit with your sense of humour and penchant for understatement. Of course you would have to show a liking for gentle rain and a natural desire for discussing the weather before you could actually apply ... Another lovely post S. Thanks.

Thanks peak, that's a nice compliment. Most people think my sense of humor is just weird...oh wait, I see your point! And I do like Monty Python, Benny Hill, Coupling (series on BBC), and a few others.

Come to think of it, I do like a gentle rain and have a propensity to talk about the weather. Afraid I'd lose the honorary Brit title for constantly misspelling such things as 'honor' and 'humor', however.
