Different Circles

After Jake spent himself for the second time in Laura’s clenching vagina while Celia rubbed her wet and swollen vagina on Laura’s face, they collapsed into their normal heap in their normal positioning: naked Jake in the middle, naked Laura on his left, naked Celia on his right. The sweat slowly dried from their skin and their heartrates slowly returned to normal. The smell of their activities was thick in the air, permeating the entire room. Jake, as usual, was laying in the primary wet spot. It was a small price to pay for getting regular spousal-approved threesomes.

It was Laura who brought up the subject they were all thinking about.

“What are you going to do out on the road, C?” she asked.

“What do you mean?” Celia asked, the smile of one who had just been royally laid on her face.

“I mean for ... you know ... sex,” Laura said. “You don’t have Suzie on this tour. And you don’t have me.”

“Even if I had you, we wouldn’t be able to do it unless Jake was there too,” Celia said.

“Now wait a minute,” Jake said. “I think there should be a tour exception to that clause. If you two are out on tour together and I’m not, I would have no objection to you two slaking your lust without me there.”

“Are you sure about that, sweetie?” Laura asked.

“Of course,” he said. “Why would it bother me?”

“This is kind a moot point, isn’t it?” Celia asked. “Teach is not going to be out on tour with me, so the exception wouldn’t apply anyway.”

“True,” Jake said slowly, though it was strangely exciting to think of the two of them doing it without him. If only there was a way he could watch such a thing.

“In any case,” Celia said, “I’m going to do the same thing I always did when out on tour before Suzie and I hooked up, before Greg fucked Mindy Snow and destroyed our marriage. I’m going to paddle my pink canoe when the pressure starts to build and suck it up.”

“You could always put in a request,” Laura said shyly. “I mean ... you know ... when you get to the point where doing yourself isn’t quite satisfying any longer.”

Celia shook her head. “That’s just not me,” she said. “As I’ve told you both time and again: I need to have a relationship with someone to have sex with them. It’s just the way I’m wired.”

“Maybe you’ll meet someone on tour and develop such a relationship,” Jake suggested. “The way you did with Suzie.”

Celia looked at him sharply. “What are you trying to say here, Jake?” she asked. “Are you two hoping that I hook up with someone out on the road?”

“No, no,” Jake said. “That’s not what we’re saying at all.”

“Then what are you saying?” she asked.

“We’re just saying,” Laura said gently, “that if you did hook up with someone, or need to put in a request, we would understand.”

“The way I understand that Laura needs a little companionship from the female groupies every once in a while,” Jake said.

“What if it was male groupies?” Celia asked. “Would you understand if she wanted to score some chorizo out on the road.”

“No, that’s different,” Jake said.

“And what if Jake was out on the road, Teach?” Celia asked next. “Would you understand if he had a little nineteen-year-old hottie come up to his room after the show so he could fuck her?”

“No,” she said immediately. “That is not part of the deal.”

“What if he wanted some gay groupie to come up and suck his dick for him?” she asked next. “Is that acceptable?”

“No,” she said. “That is not acceptable either.”

“Then you’re saying that who or what someone gets to do out on the road is situational and individual, right?”

“Well ... yeah, I suppose it is,” Jake said.

“Laura can have female groupies eat her out, but can’t get any chorizo. Jake can’t get anything at all except his five best friends. And what about me? How do I fit into your rules? Do you two really want me to have some male groupie stick his dick in me while I’m out there? Does the thought really not bother you? Because if it doesn’t, we have a totally different relationship with each other than I thought we did.”

“The thought does bother me,” Jake said truthfully. It was, in fact, infuriating.

“Me too,” Laura agreed.

“Then why did you suggest it?” Celia asked.

“Because it’s not fair of us to ask you to abstain from sex while you’re out on the road,” Laura said. “We don’t have that right.”

“Why don’t you have that right?” she shot back. “You have the right to expect that Jake won’t do that. Jake has the right to set his boundaries of what he considers infidelity. We are in what we have all agreed is a loving relationship here. If we’re in a loving relationship, you have the right to expect me to remain faithful to you when I’m away. Exercise that right. If you don’t, what you’re telling me is that you two are just...” She took a deep breath and wiped at a tear. “ ... just using me for sex.”

“No!” Laura said. “That’s not what we’re saying at all!”

“We do love you, C,” Jake said. “This thing is not just about sex!”
