Chapter 10 – Belinda
What a night! I never felt so satisfied and fulfilled. Did Mandy feel like this? The next time I see that girl, I’ll have to thank her for opening my eyes to this wonderful experience.
When I awoke, I felt refreshed. The men were already up and preparing a breakfast brunch. Theo walked into the bedroom, he was already dressed.
“Why don’t you grab a shower? We have a surprise,” he assured. Eeep, I love surprises!
I went into the bathroom and showered. After the night before, I was walking a little awkwardly. Looking in the mirror, I could see a glow about me that I had never seen before. I was more alive than I had ever been. I would never go back to the way I was. Ever.
Walking into the main room of the penthouse, I was greeted by a breakfast buffet that had everything. A chef prepared custom made omelets and there was a display of bagels with several different types of cream cheeses. There were pancakes, bacon, sausage, Belgian waffles and every conceivable kind of topping and condiment: whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, sliced bananas--- And there was cereal, coffees, teas, toast, butter, jams--- There had to be enough food for twenty people, but it was just for the four of us.
Miles was collecting a plate of waffles and strawberries. He handed it to Franklin, who topped it with whipped cream. Franklin placed it in front of me and Theo brought me a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
“You guys.” I smiled. “You’re so attentive to me.”
It was amazing. The guys were just perfect for me. It was like we had achieved some kind of harmonious balance between the four of us. The sex was just amazing. I never felt so good.
“I have to say guys,” I announced. “I’m really enjoying my weekend so far.”
“It’s just getting started,” assured Franklin. “Way more to come.”
“That much I know,” I laughed. “I’m just a little nervous if we can make this work. You know, as a relationship.”
“Well, Franklin and I are both pretty busy with our jobs and businesses,” admitted Theo. “I think if we’re just open and honest, everything should work out.”
“Makes sense,” I agreed. “How’d you get so smart, Theo?”
“Ah, it’s not me, it’s my sister,” admitted Theo. “She told me about polyamorous relationships. Not as uncommon as you think.”
“Hey, Carl, Clayton and Mandy seemed pretty happy,” said Miles, spreading cream cheese on a bagel for himself. “So far, I’m having a great time.”
“These guys are already my friends,” added Franklin. “I know them pretty good already. Stand up guys. To be honest, I’m more worried about you, Belinda. Do you trust us?”
“Anyone that goes down on me like you three do, I can trust,” I joked, taking a bite out of my waffle.
I giggled and put a dollop of whipped cream on Franklin’s nose. He wiped it off and licked his hand.
“Sweet, like you, baby,” he smiled.
“Aw, baby,” I gushed.
I leaned over to give Franklin a kiss and he playfully dabbed me with whipped cream, but on the lips. Then he kissed me anyway. It was a sweet kiss.
“But thinking long term,” I said, semi-seriously, “I don’t want us to fight. You guys can come to me and I should be able to come to you with a problem, okay? Seriously.”
The group seemed to be in agreement. I was a little worried about Franklin, however.
“Franklin, I know you’re the strong silent type,” I said. “But you don’t have to talk to me all the time if you have a problem. You can always talk to one of the guys. I mean, I know guys have a different way of talking to each other.”
“Yeah, not at all,” joked Franklin, taking another bite of bacon.
“That’s true,” I smiled. “But sometimes, it’s good to talk, ya know?”
“Point taken, dear. Point taken,” Franklin assured. “Right now, I feel so good, I can’t imagine a problem.”
“It’s actually a big relief to me to have the other guys here,” admitted Theo. “I was telling them earlier, I’m good with the grand gestures, but not much else.”
“I know one thing you’re good at,” I smiled seductively, rubbing his leg under the table with my foot. “You’re doing great, Theo. I’ve loved everything that’s been arranged. I never felt like this. It’s like being treasured. Before, men always treated me more like an object or a commodity, ya know? You guys really make me feel special.”
“Oh, good,” said Theo, relieved. “I was a little worried that with three of us, you might be overwhelmed.”
“Definitely not overwhelmed in the bedroom,” joked Miles. “You are like some sexual athlete, Belinda!”
“I try to stay in shape, but it’s just weird,” I said. “Last night just felt right, ya know. Like this is how it should be. Pushed to the limits and sexually liberated. I never knew what that meant until I experienced it first hand. I just don’t want us to fight, ya know?”
“I think we have things in order,” said Franklin. “In my business, I like to have weekly meetings. Check in with people. Maybe we can do that.”
“Seems sensible,” said Theo.
“Not bad relationship advice, Franklin,” complimented Miles.
“Yeah, my marriage counselor suggested that too,” admitted Franklin. “Right before I got divorced.”
“Ha! Funny!” I laughed. “You were joking right?”
“Yes,” assured Franklin. “My ex wasn’t very honest anyway. I think that’s the key to any relationship. Open and honest.”
“Here’s to open and honest,” I toasted.
We clinked glasses. This was going to work.
