				David stood at the back patio door of the four bedroom beach house and looked out the glass door at the beach. He was watching Ella who had wasted no time making herself at home here. Ella always took hold of whatever she was doing with both hands and all of her heart. She had squealed with glee upon seeing the beach house. It was the off-season and a little too cool for swimming in the ocean, but that hadn't stopped her from slipping into some sexy swim wear and taking to the beach.<br><br>Watching Ella, who was only 21, made the 45 year old psychology professor feel both young and old at the same time. It was hard to explain, but he liked the feeling. Youthful energy mixed with timeless wisdom, that's what being with Ella brought out in him. David found himself gazing for a moment at himself in the glass. He was six feet tall. His blond hair was long, past his shoulder blades, usually tied back, but wavy and full when he left it free. He had a short beard and mustache, almost like a goatee. His eyes were blue gray. Ella described them as "stormy."<br><br>Now, Ella sat in a beach chair with her sketch pad. She was drawing something ... she was always drawing something. It's what originally had attracted him to her. He had fancied himself something of an artist when he was a younger man and he took an interest in her sketches. She was a student in his psychology class. He noticed her sketching during one of his lectures and he had been insulted by this intentional display of disinterest in his class.<br><br>He took the pad from her, and although she voiced an objection, she was a freshman, and still used to high-school policies, so she accepted the discipline without too much overt resistance. After class he returned the pad to Ella, but first took a look at her work for himself. It was good. Really good, and David commented on it. They talked for over an hour and Ella missed her next class.<br><br>After that, Ella paid much more attention in class, and also made a point of showing her drawings to him regularly. These visits quickly became flirtatious and Ella grabbed onto that flirtation with the same gusto she approached everything. David had never dated a student before, and although it was generally frowned upon, there were no formal rules in place against it, and Ella was not only very persuasive, she was also the sexiest most "alive" woman David had ever met.<br><br>They've been together for three years now. They love each other. <br><br>David looked back over his shoulder for a moment ... to the front door. Funny how quickly the mind could shift gears he thought. But, they were expecting company. Ella had been flirting with a man she met online. Ella and David's relationship was an open one. Honestly, David never expected the youthful exuberant Ella to have stuck with him for so long, and he would never try to tie her down. So, visiting with other men, dating other men. It's something David expected. He welcomed it. There was no reason for their relationship to also equate to a contract of fealty.<br><br>The human need to possess another by restricting their access to a single lover, partner, friend, had always puzzled David. It was one of the reasons he began studying psychology in the first place. When he introduced Ella to the concepts of Polyamory, the idea that human love didn't need to be restricted to one person at a time, it was as if he had spoken to Ella's soul and revealed to her a truth she had been seeking all her life. Human beings could be with and love as many people as their hearts could accommodate and there was no reason why one relationship needed to supersede another. All that was really "needed" was honesty. <br><br>Ella began reading about Polyamory online and even started chatting with other people who thought like they did. Interestingly, David always believed in Polyamory, but had never pursued it the way Ella had done. Now he found himself thinking of the possibility of building a family. A family of lovers and friends all living and sharing together without restrictions. It was a romantic idea. But, it was a fantasy too tempting not to pursue.<br><br>When Ella suggested inviting the couple she had met, the man she had been chatting with and his wife, to come on this vacation with them, David was surprised, but ultimately willing and anxious to try. Now he was excited, but also very nervous about what the next two weeks would have in store for them all.<br><br>David smiled as Ella spotted him watching her through the glass door of the porch, and she got up to run towards him. It seemed like Ella never walked anywhere ... she always ran, or skipped, or danced, but she never simply walked.<br><br>

				Ella sat back in the beach chair the sun pouring down on her making her feel slightly drowsy and completely content. her sketch book propped against her knees she added shading to the eyes on one face and subtly changed the lips of the other trying to get it perfect the way she saw them in her head.<br><br>Today was the day they the other couple was arriving. She was so excited she could have bounced in her seat and giggled like a little kid Christmas morning but she held back slightly. She tried to sketch the two she's been talking to the guy Kevin for a while online but this would be her first time seeing him in person. He'd sent pictures but she'd never looked at them instead she was drawing the way the two of them looked in her head. She added a bit more to the hair of one face and then highlighted the eyes of the other. She wanted to get the portraits perfect before they arrived so she could see how close she was.<br><br>She finished shading under each of their chins but a simple necklace around the girls neck and smiled at her finished product. Most likely she'd be way way, off but that prospect didn't damped her enjoyment of it in the least, she had fun imaging how they looked the entire time they'd been chatting this was just her way of being that imaging to a close and open the new door into meeting them.<br><br>Feeling eyes on her Ella looked up to see David looking at her through the glass doors and smiled brightly. David was an amazing guy one she'd fallen for quickly when she hadn't been expecting more then a bit of fun to begin with. He gave her a freedom in love she never knew could exist and more then that she never had to wonder with him if she should do this or say that. She could just be herself with him completely and fully. To her it was simply amazing to meet someone who not only put up with her randomness but loved her all the more for it.<br><br>She raced across the sand towards David laughing as she went, her sketch book in hand. She only slowed to open the door before throwing herself in to his arms laughing as she did so. Lightly kissing him on the cheek in greeting she open her sketch book eager to show him her imagined images of the couple before they arrived.<br><br>She&nbsp; flipped past pages of other sketches till she came to her newest portrait. the faces were so close on the page their hair mingled and the eyes had an intense look to them that made it seem like the image was looking back at you. "What do you think?" Ella asked smiling as she waited for David assessment.

				"Kevin, is this okay?" Claire Kolbe asked her husband of four years.&nbsp; She was twenty-five, with long dark hair that hung to the middle of her back in soft waves.&nbsp; Her pale blue eyes were large, framed in dark lashes, and her lips were full.&nbsp; She had a small, upturned nose that would forever make her look a little younger than her years.&nbsp; She stood in front of her husband and turned her petite body slowly, modeling the sundress she had bought last weekend when she had shopped for their vacation.&nbsp; The top was conservative, showing not even a hint of cleavage as it skimmed over her breasts.&nbsp; The dress tightened over her flat stomach and then flared over her hips, falling to her knees.&nbsp; She wore strappy sandals over her carefully pedicured feet.<br><br>Kevin smiled approvingly as he looked her over.&nbsp; "You have the bikini on underneath?" he inquired.&nbsp; She nodded, blushing a little.&nbsp; The bikini he wanted her to wear was one he bought for her last summer; it was the skimpiest of all her bathing suits.&nbsp; Claire was naturally conservative and shy, but Kevin loved to see her in revealing clothing, and she happily indulged his desire.&nbsp; Nothing made her feel more satisfied than pleasing her husband; he loved to stretch her boundaries, and she loved that he did that for her.&nbsp; They has met when she was only seventeen; Kevin had been a coworker of her older brother's.&nbsp; He was six years older than her, and their relationship had been intense from the beginning, although it had taken her a long time to agree to marry him.&nbsp; She had been nervous about it, and in hindsight realized she had been afraid.&nbsp; At twenty-one, while she was still in college, she had finally said yes, and he'd whisked her away and married her as fast as he could without upsetting their families.&nbsp; She had never regretted her choice; the last four years had been the happiest of her life.<br><br>Kevin had been concerned that the fact that they had been together since she was so young would mean that she would some day regret marrying him.&nbsp; He was the only person Claire had ever been intimate with, and he wanted her to experience more and live life as fully as possible.&nbsp; Because of his encouragement,&nbsp; she had an open mind about sexuality; he had taught her over time that anything was acceptable as long as nobody was unwillingly being hurt, and that she didn't have to conform to society's rules in her bedroom.&nbsp; There was nothing that she wasn't willing to try, as long as he enjoyed her doing it.&nbsp; And he respected when she didn't enjoy something, but those times were far and few between.<br><br>For the last few months, her husband had been chatting online with a woman he had met named Ella.&nbsp; They had become increasingly close to one another, and that relationship had resulted in them planning a two week vacation with Ella and David, her boyfriend.&nbsp; Their conversations had been explicit and sexy, and often over the last few months, there had been times when Claire had sat in Kevin's lap as he chatted with his friend, and then dragged him to bed after she had become aroused.<br><br>Kevin had asked for time off of work at the accounting firm that employed him.&nbsp; He was a hard worker, rarely taking time off except for short vacations here and there to take her to fun places, and so his boss had been okay with allowing him the leave.&nbsp; For her, it had been simpler.&nbsp; She worked part-time at the public library, and they had no problem with letting her take off whenever she wanted to.&nbsp; Her background was in elementary education, but she really enjoyed the library; she preferred the quiet, subdued atmosphere there over the chaos of an elementary school.&nbsp; Kevin was happy for her to do whatever job pleased her, since his salary easily supported them both;&nbsp; again, because of his encouragement, she let her heart lead her decision to not work full-time.<br><br>"Okay, I'm ready to leave," she said, as Kevin packed their stuff in the back of their vehicle.&nbsp; She got into the passenger seat, and after he locked up their house, they were on their way.&nbsp; Apparently, David knew someone who owned a beach house and had let the couples use it since it was off-season.&nbsp; She felt both excitement and apprehension about the trip; it was a little bit weird to be going to spend two weeks with another couple for the purpose of having sex with them, but the thought turned her on more than she would have ever thought possible.&nbsp; Kevin looked over at her and grinned as if he knew what she was thinking, and she laughed softly.<br><br>"Yes, I'm really excited about this," she said, her eyes twinkling with mirth as she answered his unasked question.&nbsp; She slipped her hand into his and leaned into him, settling in for the rest of the trip.

				He smiled and glanced over again at the sundress, shifting as she settled in.&nbsp; Admittedly, it was a bit more flattering than most, but the complete lack of cleavage was amusing.&nbsp; He tried to think of how many times he'd allowed her something so modest.&nbsp; "I'm glad you're excited.&nbsp; I am too.&nbsp; It will be a while until we arrive.&nbsp; Pull up that dress for me so I can at least see your legs of yours."&nbsp; He smiled as he pictured her facial expression, turning back to the road.&nbsp; He'd seen it enough times to conjure it accurately.&nbsp; She hated revealing her body around others, and in the car would be worried about strangers seeing her through the window, but he'd tinted them for that reason.<br><br>He was excited about the trip.&nbsp; He'd been looking forward to it for some time.&nbsp; He'd spent many hours in front of the computer chatting with Ella, most of them with Claire in his lap, letting Claire experience the things Ella wanted done to her and making Claire describe them to her.&nbsp; Claire had taken a bit of convincing before she was fully comfortable with the idea of meeting David and Ella.&nbsp; Seeing Ella certainly hadn't hurt once she'd agreed to the one-way webcam.&nbsp; He'd caress her while Ella did little strip teases for the two of them. It was soon clear that Claire was turned on by the thought of having Ella around to appreciate in a few different ways, and she was slowly warming up to the idea of wanting to please Ella as well.&nbsp; While their sex life had not been stale prior to this, it definitely increased as Claire became less shy about being turned on by all of it.&nbsp; From there it didn't take long before she agreed to the trip.<br><br>Finally, the journey was over, and they pulled up to the beach house.&nbsp; Kevin parked the car and looked over to Claire.&nbsp; "You ready sweetie?"&nbsp; He stroked her bare leg as he asked her.

				David looked over the sketch Ella had made approvingly. "Very nice." he commented "I like the contrast around the eyes ... they look alive." He adds as he looks at the picture impressed. "Who ... ?" he starts to ask, trailing off as he realizes the answer. "It's them, isn't it?" he asks, knowing the answer. She had been imagining what they were going to look like for weeks. The couples had exchanged pictures, but Ella refused to look at them, preferring instead to spend hours speculating and imagining on her own based on nothing more than her chat conversations.<br><br>In the interest of playing this game with her, David also refrained from looking at the pictures. For him it wasn't so much about enhancing the sense of suspense and the unknown as it was for Ella ... it was simply that it didn't matter to him. David was a man who never wished to judge anything about a person based upon their appearance. Not appearances in photographs anyway. You could tell so much about a person from the way they moved, the way they interacted in their world. Body language was a powerful tool, but photographs rarely captured the magic of non-verbal communication. So, he too preferred to wait.<br><br>"Shall we post this up on the refrigerator?" David said, supposedly as a tease, but her moved into the beach house towards the kitchen as he asked. He put Ella's picture up on the refrigerator with some magnets for all to see. As David completed this task he noticed that he no longer had Ella's attention, but she was hopping up and down excitedly. <br><br>A car had pulled up outside. David found himself taking a deep breath.<br>

				Ella nodded as David question trailed away looking back at the imagined portraits, pleased that he'd liked it. She laughed lightly at his suggestion to hang it on the fridge but before he could she was distracted by the sound of a car pulling up.<br><br>"They're here, they're here, they're here." Ella said jumping up and down excitedly clapping her hands. Looking quickly at David and seeing him take a deep breath she smiled brilliantly then ran towards the front door and thier car, loosing her sunglasses as she did her short hair falling her face slightly.<br><br>As Kevin got out the the car she ran up to him and gave him a tight hug before letting go and running around the car to do the same to Claire, giving her a quick hug Ella stepped back and smiling brightly "I'm so happy your here." She said bouncing lightly unable to stand still as she looked both of them over closely her artist eye missing nothing, memorizing each detail. <br><br>"come on come on, you have to meet David." She said talking quickly taking Claire's hand since she was still standing on her side of the car and pulling her into a run with her as we ran back to the house Ella laughing with joy the whole way.

				Kevin took a quick breath and got out of the car, wearing jeans and a t-shirt.&nbsp; He'd been unsure what to wear.&nbsp; On one hand, they had been heading to the beach, but swimming hadn't figured into the likely events.&nbsp; He ran a hand through his hair as he saw Ella running up to him, smiling and stepping out from behind the door.&nbsp; He wasn't sure what to do.&nbsp; Should he kiss her?&nbsp; They'd talked about doing much more, but with David and Claire watching he would feel too awkward.&nbsp; Besides, if he kissed Ella that would make it only fair for David to kiss Claire, and he didn't think either he or Claire was ready for that.&nbsp; <br><br>Fortunately, Ella made the decision easier with a tight, energetic hug, breaking soon after to hug Claire.&nbsp; He gave her a light slap on the bottom and let out a sigh.&nbsp; He looked over at Claire to see how she was doing.&nbsp; He wasn't worried about the hug unnerving her, but he could tell she was almost as uncomfortable as she was excited on the way over, and reality could be unsettling.&nbsp; At least Ella was wearing the bathing suit she'd recently worn on webcam.&nbsp; It made her seem more familiar, and also let him picture her strippping it off like she had over webcam for Claire and him.<br><br>He walked over to Claire to put his arm around her waist, but ended up just half-jogging after her as Ella drug her forward.&nbsp; "I'm glad we decided to do this" he said cheerfully.&nbsp; And he was.&nbsp; Despite his concerns, he really was looking forward to it.&nbsp; He watched Ella bounce off toward the house, his wife in tow, and chuckled for some reason.&nbsp;

				As Claire got out of the car, she saw a little bundle of energy bound down the beachhouse steps and run to Kevin.&nbsp; She held back as she saw who she recognized as Ella throw her arms around her husband.&nbsp; It felt odd, knowing that this was a woman he would have sex with.&nbsp; He had not been intimate with anyone except her since he was twenty-three and met her.&nbsp; She forced herself to relax and accept the situation; she wanted this as much as he did.<br><br>Ella pulled away from Kevin and came to her.&nbsp; Claire started to hold her hand out to shake the other woman's, but was instead hugged as tightly as her husband had been.&nbsp; "I'm very happy to meet you, too," she responded politely to the girl's greeting as Ella looked her over.&nbsp; She hoped she met the girl's approval; Kevin had told her he had sent the other couple a picture of them, but people sometimes looked different in real life.&nbsp; She blushed as she had the thought;&nbsp; Ella certainly looked just like she had on the webcam.&nbsp; She was pretty and vivacious, and Claire found herself liking her and feeling intimidated by her at the same time.<br><br>Ella grabbed her hand and started running toward the beach house so that they could meet David.&nbsp; Claire had no choice but to run with her; the girl's grip was surprisingly firm, and she didn't seem like she was going to let go.&nbsp; Claire looked back apologetically at Kevin, who was smiling and following them, easily keeping their pace with his long stride.&nbsp; Ella laughed, and Claire found the sound familiar and comforting, having heard it a few times on the webcam.&nbsp; Although many of Ella and Kevin's chats had been conducted between only the two of them, there had been several conversations for which Claire had been present.<br><br>Ella ran up the few steps leading to the door of the beachhouse.&nbsp; A man stood there, and Claire stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide as they looked him over.&nbsp; Feeling suddenly bashful, she bit nervously on the edge of her bottom lip.&nbsp; His presence was commanding; he seemed to completely fill the room around him.&nbsp; She gave him the faintest hint of a smile, and, her hand still enclosed in Ella's, took a comforting step back towards her own husband.

				Ella Let Claire's hand go, she could tell Claire was nervous and had learned during the internet chats that Claire was shy and didn't want to overwhelm her, when she stepped back towards Kevin Ella knew she was right and let Claire's hand go.<br><br>Ella twirled lightly through the room smiled trying to put everyone at ease as she slipped an arm around the back of David waist and lean into him smiling. Ella felt lighter then air and happy as could be seeing Claire and Kevin here with David and her was like a realization of a dream long in the making.<br><br>She smiled looking them over again and glancing down at the picture still in Davids hand she smiled brighter, "Well I got Claire's lips right at least that's something" She said off handedly laughing lightly. "Lets all sit down." She suggested with a smile.

				David put an arm around Ella and squeezed her shoulders warmly, smiling at the spectacle she enjoyed becoming. "Ella is excited, as you can see." David offered. His voice low, deep, calm, and almost a little haunting. It was a complete opposite of Ella's. "It's very nice to meet you both." He adds as he motions inside. "Why don't you both come inside and we can all introduce ourselves properly."<br><br>David steps inside with Ella still at his side, and shifts out of the doorway so that Claire and Kevin might follow. David smiles warmly at Ella and shakes Kevin's hand as he crosses the threshold. "It nice to finally meet. Kevin, right? I 'm David. Come on in and I'll show you both around, after all this is going to be all of our homes for the next two weeks."<br><br>David takes special notice of the quiet Claire. He hopes that he isn't staring, but he finds himself almost immediately taken with her. She is so different from Ella, quiet and withdrawn, unsure of whether she should look him in the eye. Submissive, is the word he was looking for.<br><br>Just looking at Claire made David feel more powerful. He felt torn by urges to throw her helplessly down on the ground and savagely rape her to prove his masculine power over her, and urges to coddle her in his arms like a helpless innocent child and tell her that Daddy was here, there was nothing to be afraid of and that he would make everything all right. He couldn't explain it, these seemingly conflicting urges somehow belonged together and they felt right. They made him feel like a man.<br><br>"You must be Claire." came the firm deep powerful voice, somehow more confident and commanding now then even a moment ago.<br>

				Kevin's left hand quickly found the small of Claire's back as she stepped back toward him.&nbsp; He lightly stroked up and down her back as they walked into the house following David's invitation.&nbsp; He watched Ella twirl around the room and was somewhat reminded of a puppy seeing guests for the first time.&nbsp; He felt embarrassed for thinking it, but couldn't shake the comparison, and in truth it only endeared her to him.&nbsp; Besides, he was quite confident that her energy would be well-spent pleasing Claire and him.&nbsp; He lightly kissed Claire's neck, softly whispering "how ya feelin?"<br><br>At David's suggestion, Kevin led Claire into the house, keeping his left hand on Claire's back as he shook David's with his right, smiling affably.&nbsp; "A pleasure.&nbsp; Thanks for having us over."&nbsp; He noticed the way David looked at her and grew a bit uncomfortable.&nbsp; He didnt' say anything, though.&nbsp; After all, by bringing her here he'd kind of agreed to have another man do a lot more than look at her, and he'd certainly looked at Ella through webcam with many lecherous thoughts.<br><br>"I suppose we can take you up on that tour, at least find out where to put our bags.&nbsp; Oh, what did you guys have in mind for dinner?"&nbsp; He wasn't even hungry yet, though eating would be a simple, enjoyable event with much less inherent awkwardness.

				When Ella let her hand go, Claire immediately felt a sense of loss.&nbsp; Although her touch wasn't familiar, the girl herself was.&nbsp; She felt like she'd lost her source of comfort, which was unexpected; after all, these people were strangers still.&nbsp; And then she felt Kevin's hand run down her back, and immediately felt herself relax.&nbsp; Sometimes, when she felt out of her element, a little bit of physical contact could be cathartic.<br><br>She watched Ella flit around the room; the other woman was like a butterfly.&nbsp; It was an easy comparison to make - she danced around, her touch light and her movements airy.&nbsp; And she made people smile and think of beauty, Claire felt with certainty.&nbsp; The girl's happy smiles and comforting gestures made her feel like they were already friends.&nbsp; But even more, she felt a physical attraction to the pretty, carefree girl.&nbsp; Its intensity surprised Claire; she knew that part of the reason they were here was so that she could explore sex with a woman, but she still hadn't expected to feel this way.&nbsp; She'd watched the woman on Kevin's webcam, but the attraction wasn't so real on there, at least not for her.&nbsp; It was more like watching a movie.&nbsp; <br><br>Ella wrapped her arm around David's waist; they were attractive together, even with the obvious age difference.&nbsp; As Claire listened to the others discuss whether they would eat dinner, go on a tour, or just sit and relax for a bit, she looked David over as thoroughly as she had Ella.&nbsp; She found them both attractive, and the way that David looked at her, it was obvious that he felt the same about her.&nbsp; She tried to imagine kissing him and having him inside her body, and startled as she realized he was watching her, too.&nbsp; She wondered if he was entertaining similar fantasies, and blushed at the thought, quickly breaking eye contact and looking away.<br><br>She considered how all of this would play out.&nbsp; Would they all be awkward with one another?&nbsp; Would she and Kevin be able to handle seeing others touch their spouse?&nbsp; She felt like she would be fine with it; even now, she could feel a light tingling between her legs as she imagined seeing Ella on top of Kevin.&nbsp; Would their two weeks together be spent just having sex?&nbsp; Or would they do other things, too, and really get to know each other?&nbsp; She was about to find out, wasn't she?&nbsp; Pushing her musings aside, Claire looked back at Ella and David, not wanting them to think her rude for not participating in the conversation.

				Ella moved with ease along with David as he moved allowing the other couple inside. She smiled as David greeted the others and was please when he showed interest in Claire. A slight echo of a pang of jealousy sliced through Ella, she often had open relationships but this was the first time she'd be seeing the results up close and the reality was a bit diffrent in practice then imagined but not a jealous person by nature Ella pushed away the fleeting emotion and smiled brightly at the group.<br><br>"Ooh a tour sounds fun" She said clapping lightly. "I didn't take but a quick look around before running out to the beach when we got here." She said already looking around the entry way like there would be something new and interesting too look at. Catching Kevin's question about dinner Ella was quick to comment. "I think we should go out later, David can tell you I can't cook toast" she said with a laugh "and you two must be tired after your long drive." She finished smiling brightly.

				David holds a hand against the small of Ella's back guiding her as a dancer leads a partner as they move about the house. There is a huge general living area with magnificent picture windows overlooking the beach. The dining room connects to this, but there is no real separation between the rooms; it's all one big open area. There are three bedrooms. One master bedroom with its own bath and two smaller bedrooms.<br><br>"I thought each of us could use one of the smaller bedrooms and we would save the master bedroom for "shared use." David suggests. "One place to sleep and to have personal privacy, and a different place to come together." He adds. "It's just a suggestion. Ultimately, we can play things by ear and see how it goes, but this seemed like a good way to start."<br><br>David then proceeds to show the master bath a fantastic bathroom with a large square whirlpool bathtub that could easily facilitate all four of them with room to spare. He ends in the kitchen, a nice big room with a counter top island in the center and a glass patio door with access to the beach.<br><br>"I'm not a master chef by any means." David admits, "But I do enjoy grilling and I have steak and chicken and fresh zucchini and asparagus and portobello mushrooms that I can put on the grill. I brought some decent wine and the bar is pretty well stocked, so I imagined we would all have our first dinner together here."<br>&nbsp;<br>David hugs an arm around Ella. And smiles warmly. He was beginning to feel good about this meeting. David and Claire were very nice and he found both of them warm and attractive. He decided to try something.<br><br>"Claire, would you fix us all some drinks, please?"<br>

				Claire was quiet as they were shown around the beach house.&nbsp; It really was a wonderful location for a vacation.&nbsp; When David mentioned using the largest bedroom for their group activities, she blushed.&nbsp; She knew what they were there for, but still, to hear the other couple acknowledge it made it seem more real somehow.&nbsp; <br><br>She was looking around the spacious kitchen when she realized that David was addressing her.&nbsp; It started her, and she looked at him, her eyes wide. "Yes, of course," she said quietly and moved to the bar.&nbsp; "I cook, also," she said, forcing herself to speak louder.&nbsp; "So I'd be happy to do my share of the cooking while we're here."<br><br>She asked everyone what they wanted and made the drinks.&nbsp; And then she served Kevin and David first, before picking up her margarita and and Ella's drink. <br><br>

				Kevin could feel Claire relax, which made him feel better and more confident about things.&nbsp; He noticed the way she looked at David and looked away, familiar with the expression.&nbsp; He'd seen it many times when he and Claire had dated, and he knew it meant that Claire was interested in the man.&nbsp; On one hand he was glad she was happy.&nbsp; After all, if she wasn't interested they wouldn't be here.&nbsp; Still, soon he would no longer be the only man in Claire's life, and the thought bothered him more than he thought it would.&nbsp; He squeezed Claire to him, attempting to relax.<br><br>He forced a chuckle at Ella's comment, as he did almost no cooking as well.&nbsp; Unless Claire made dinner, they usually dined out.&nbsp; He smiled amenably to David's suggestion, noting how he'd disregarded Ella's suggestion to go out.&nbsp; He was musing on that when David asked Claire to fix the drinks.&nbsp; His jaw clenched slightly, but he didn't say anything.&nbsp; He asked her for a rum and coke, drinking most of it as soon as she brought it out.&nbsp; Once she was done he patted his lap.

				During the tour Ella smiled and commented on different aspects of each room she liked. She was somewhat surprised when David explained the room arrangements he'd though of but thrilled at the idea it gave everyone a private area if they wanted it something she liked, she didn't want to overwhelm the other couple and sometimes she wanted to be alone especially when she sketched. <br><br>When Claire made drinks Ella asked for a Cool Blue and smiled into her fruity drink inhaling the coconut and pineapple smell as she took a sip happy that Claire was talking a bit more. "Well it sounds like David and Claire have dinner covered, I guess we'll have to find something to do while they cook." Ella said to Kevin with a playful wink and a slight poke to his ribs smiling brightly.

				David noticed that Kevin seemed uncomfortable when he had addressed Claire. There was some jealousy there. David was confident of his role and his place in Ella's life. He could share her with others and that would not change. Jealousy, and insecurity, and a childish need to possess or control another person, that's the stuff that will destroy a healthy loving relationship. No one wants to feel trapped by a relationship, like they can't grow or evolve or explore. That's what jealousy does. It traps people.<br><br>David felt like he was above all of that. He hoped that didn't make him seem pretentious. He felt old. Like a wizened soul among children, watching them struggle to find their way. David watched Ella as she flirted with Kevin turning on the charm and it made him smile. She had a vivaciousness about her that was uncontainable. "Good girl." he thought to himself. Maybe if Ella and Kevin get together, Kevin would be able to loosen up ... to let things happen. Why did this have to be so difficult? He wondered, honestly perplexed. Why did people have to tie so much emotional baggage into sex and love and friendship? Why couldn't these things just exist freely without guilt or complication?<br><br>At Ella's suggestion that he and Claire prepare dinner together, David felt it might be best to defer this time to Kevin. Kevin was feeling a little threatened by David's tendency to "take command." David needed Kevin to know that his authority wouldn't become undermined, that he would be respected. "Kevin?" David asked in the low calm voice he had that never seemed to waiver. "Is it alright with you if Claire works with me to prepare dinner?"<br>

				Claire sat in Kevin's lap where he indicated.&nbsp; She loved sitting there; his arms around her always made her feel good.&nbsp; His body language bothered her, though.&nbsp; She wasn't sure what was going on, but something was making him uncomfortable.&nbsp; <br><br>She settled in and kissed his cheek, and then smiled at Ella, who was seated next to them.&nbsp; Claire had seen Ella flirting with Kevin while she was preparing drinks; she liked that they were comfortable with each other.&nbsp; It would make all of this less awkward for her if everyone got along.&nbsp; David asked Kevin if he'd be okay with her helping him with dinner, and she looked at David and then looked down.&nbsp; <br><br>She couldn't imagine that Kevin would say no.&nbsp; He had impeccable manners, and would never be intentionally rude to anyone.&nbsp; Claire took a sip of her drink and waited for Kevin's response.&nbsp; She certainly didn't mind helping with dinner; she enjoyed cooking.&nbsp; It made her a little nervous, the thought of being alone with David, but only because she knew that eventually she was going to be intimate with him.

				As soon as Claire sat down in his lap Kevin exhaled, almost instantly calming as he wrapped his arms around .&nbsp; He hadn't wanted to say anything to David, who was their host, but asking her to get drinks, as though she served him, especially after disregarding Ella's suggestion for dinner.&nbsp; It seemed a poor way to kick things off given that neither he nor Claire had known really anything about him.&nbsp; He hoped David would be gentle with her, emotionally and physically.&nbsp; He kissed her shoulder, trying not to worry about it as much.<br><br>So much did he calm that he chuckled good-naturedly when Ella poked him in the ribs.&nbsp; "Oh, I'm sure we'll manage."&nbsp; He nudged her lightly with his elbow, smiling over at her, and whispered in Claire's ear.&nbsp; "Do you like her in the bathing suit up close?"&nbsp; He knew she liked to be asked about what turned her on.&nbsp; She was so shy in public about bringing such things up on her own.&nbsp; He lightly traced a finger along her outer thigh, picturing her without the sun dress.&nbsp; He'd have to have her remove it before the end of the night.<br><br>Still giggling a little as David asked his question, he nodded at David.&nbsp; "I am sure she'd be a lot more help than I would."&nbsp; Stroking her hip, he leaned in and whispered "are you okay with that?"&nbsp; He released his hold on her so she could get up if she wished.&nbsp; David still hadn't quite picked up on the nature of the relationship, but his asking permission was at least a nice gesture.

				Ella listened to the others talk and wondered if things might be a bit harder then she'd realized. She'd been slightly impulsive in thinking this up. Actually she'd been extremely impulsive about it. She'd liked Kevin, liked Claire, like the idea of all of them together and like everything else she wants she pushed for it until Kevin and Claire had consented to come. But her natural optimism pushed away such dower thoughts and reminded her that even if they'd know each other for years online they'd still all be nervous it was only natural. We have 2 weeks no need to worry about anything just yet.<br><br>Bringing her wandering mind back to the presant Ella giggled when Kevin nudged her and made his comment and paid a bit more attention to the group. I smiled happily when I felt Claire looking at me looked down wondering if I had sand clinging to me or something I realized I was still wearing the neon blue two piece bathing suit I'd put on to lay out on the beach. Something else played on the edge of my mind but I shrugged forgetting it when the memory refused to focus completely.I made a mental note to change before dinner. <br><br>While the others talk about who would be cooking dinner I caught site of my sketch book laying innocently on the counter the temptation was too much and before I knew it I was pulling it towards me and flipped it open to a clean page and with quick concise lines started sketching Claire sitting on Kevin's lap, David standing in the forground facing them. Smiling as I sketched them capturing this moment in time as no other could.&nbsp;

				David smiled as he noticed Ella sketching them. She was an incredible talent, and she could get enough of the essence of this scene sketched out in just a few moments so that later when they looked at the finished work it would be as if they had posed for it for hours. It was amazing... but it was also something that she could easily become lost in if she wasn't careful. It wouldn't do for Ella to have her nose in her sketch book while he and Claire were busy with dinner.<br><br>"Ella," David said in that "teacher giving a lecture" kind of voice that he had had to use a few times to get Ella to stop sketching in his class. "Why not put the sketch pad away for now." He suggests firmly. "I'm counting on you to keep Kevin entertained while Claire and I work on dinner. If you get lost in a drawing, hours might go by and you'd never know it." He says matter-of-factly, knowing that this isn't anything she didn't already know herself. "I have an idea ... I know you bought a number of new outfits to wear for this weekend. Why don't you give Kevin a bit of a preview fashion show?" David suggests, hoping this might send the vivacious Ella off in a new direction.<br><br>"Claire are you okay with washing and chopping vegetables to start? I need to get the grill ready." David asks Kevin's rather quiet wife with a smile.<br>

				Ella blushed softly as David spoke already having been sketching longer then she'd intended. She'd meant only to get the basic outline done to get the positioning right but she'd lost trace of herself and was outlining each outfit.<br><br>Tucking the pencil into the spine of her sketch book Ella smiled lightly "A wonderful idea, that is if Kevin doesn't find the job too taxing" She said with a playful laugh standing up and setting the sketch book aside promising herself she'd finish the sketch later maybe in the early morning light. The thought made her smile in anticipation. Pressing a light kiss to David's cheek "have fun" she whispered low enough so only he could hear before she moved to stand slightly behind Kevin placing a hand lightly on his shoulder a light smile playing on her lips.

				Claire smiled at David and nodded. "I'm happy to start off with prepping the veggies," she said shyly and then looked at Ella as she closed her sketch pad.&nbsp; "I'd love to look at some of your art at some point, if you don't mind sharing it."&nbsp; Ella had mentioned drawing a few times over the months in her chats with Kevin, and Claire had found herself intrigued.&nbsp; She herself was not artistic, and was impressed when others had such talents. <br><br>She thought about the fact that Kevin was going to go watch beautiful Ella model clothes for him, and it brought a small smile to her face, although she looked down to keep it hidden.&nbsp; She knew how much her husband wanted the other woman; lord knew they'd fantasized about it enough in bed.&nbsp; She wondered if he would flirt with her and maybe even take things further.&nbsp; He had the go-ahead from her.&nbsp; That was, after all, why they were here.&nbsp; The thought excited her, but when she thought about herself with David or Ella in an intimate way, or of all of them together, she felt the tiniest twinge of apprehension, too.

				Kevin watched curiously as Ella began to sketch, in truth having not expected this to be her suggestion of killing time together while David and Claire cooked.&nbsp; He found himself a bit grateful when David prompted her to try something different.&nbsp; "That sounds like a treat, though it may ruin my appetite...for food that is."&nbsp; He reached up and placed his hand on the one on his shoulder a moment before slowly getting to his feet.&nbsp; "Helping a little girl like you get dressed can't be too taxing."&nbsp; He smiled at Claire and turned back to Ella.&nbsp; "Lead the way then."

				Ella smiled lightly and clapped her hands. She'd never gotten over that stage where dress up wasn't fun anymore. She loved shopping just because you got to go try on all the diffrent outfits and goof off. <br><br>Skipping Ella lead Kevin into her and David's bedroom and without hesitation went over to her suitcase to start looking for fun outfits to try on that she thought Kevin would like. Most of what she'd brought had been beach wear, bathing suits, slip on dresses, shorts, a few nicer outfits just in case and then there was the more interesting bedroom wear she brough just because she'd had so much fun the week before shopping for it.<br><br>She laid out a few things on the bed and stepped back "do you have a preferance?" I asked teasingly as I looked over what I'd laid out for him.<br><br>http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae219/LimitlessNIkkie/misk%20crap/cq8cyttp-200.jpg (http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae219/LimitlessNIkkie/misk%20crap/cq8cyttp-200.jpg)<br><br>http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae219/LimitlessNIkkie/misk%20crap/dsc05883gj9.jpg (http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae219/LimitlessNIkkie/misk%20crap/dsc05883gj9.jpg)<br><br>http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae219/LimitlessNIkkie/misk%20crap/Sexy-Babydoll-Underwear-Lingerie-ZX9012-.jpg (http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae219/LimitlessNIkkie/misk%20crap/Sexy-Babydoll-Underwear-Lingerie-ZX9012-.jpg)
