Chapter 16
That afternoon was one of the best cookouts that we had in a long time. Paula loosened up and really enjoyed herself. The only funny thing was when she fell against me; she had stepped on a knife that someone had dropped. I think that it freaked her out that a naked man was holding her own naked body. After we started eating Paula began to become more comfortable with our nudity. That's not to say that she was entirely comfortable with it. She made sure that she always had something partially covering her and I caught her several times staring at my manhood.
Peggy kept the pitcher of screwdrivers filled and as the heat of the day increased they hit the screwdrivers harder. I quit drinking around two o'clock in the afternoon as I had to go and pick up the kids from my parents. Brenda and Peggy told Paula that they were afraid to let her drive home and insisted that she spend the night with us. We had a Murphy bed built into the family room cabinets. Paula said that she was Ok to drive home but there was not much conviction in her voice. Peggy told Paula that she wasn't going to allow her to drive after she had been drinking all day. Paula finally figured that she would never win the argument so she agreed to stay the night. She put out her glass and Peggy refilled it.
I left to pick up the kids about seven o'clock. Everyone was making merry with the screwdrivers and Brenda had lit the Tiki torches to make some attempt to keep the bugs away. When I pulled in front of the house my parents were sitting on the front porch. The kids had fallen asleep and were tucked away for the night. My mother insisted that I leave the kids there for the night and they would bring them home after church. I knew that the kids loved to go to church; mainly because they got to play with the other kids and the parishioners all made over them. I talked for a while with my parents and then headed back to our home.
When I walked in the house Peggy and Brenda were feeling no pain but they were busy cleaning up from the cookout. They had put Paula in bed before she passed out. I shooed the women out of the kitchen and they both headed for bed. It was almost midnight before I had everything cleaned and put away.
Peggy stuck her head in the kitchen and slurred something. She was holding on the door jamb to steady herself. I asked what she had said and she repeated that I should make sure that Paula was Ok before I went to bed. I told her I would and led here back to the bedroom. I knew that she would not be my bed partner that night. After I had Peggy in bed I stuck my head in to check on Brenda. She was sound asleep. She was sprawled on the bed like someone had lifted her to the ceiling and dropped her. It looked like I was going to sleep alone tonight.
I took a quick look around the house to make sure that everything was alright and checked the outside to make sure that the Tiki lights had been put out. I left the alarm off because I didn't want to give Paula a heart attack if she started roaming around after we were all in bed. I was afraid that she might set the alarm off.
I went to the family room as quietly as I could to check on Paula. Someone had left a small light on for her in case she got up during the night. I walked to the bed to see if she was asleep. She was lying on her back nude. Her swim suite was on the floor next to the bed. Her arms were over her head and she had her legs spread slightly. I shook my head; this woman would make some man very happy one day. She had a beautiful figure and she was very pretty.
I went back to the linen closet and got a blanket for her. When I walked back to her I saw that she hadn't moved. I gently opened the blanket and covered her up. She stirred in her sleep and took my hand.
She turned her face to me and murmured in her sleep, "Kiss me goodnight."
I bent down and kissed her and she pulled my hand to her breast, opened my hand and pressed it hard to her breast and murmured, "I love you."
I chuckled and thought to myself that this would be something that she wouldn't want to hear about in the morning. It would embarrass her to know that she had said that. I pulled my hand back and she was sound asleep again.
I went to my room and went to sleep alone. It only took a few minutes before I fell asleep.
In the morning I woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs cooking. I went into the master bedroom and took a leisurely shower.
When I walked into the kitchen Brenda was sitting at the kitchen table trying to get a cup of coffee down. Peggy was fixing breakfast. She is the type that rarely gets a hangover. Brenda, it would take a couple of hours before she began to feel better.
"Did you put the blanket on Paula?" Peggy asked.
I nodded and Brenda asked if I gave Paula what she wanted. She saw by the look on my face that I didn't know what she was talking about.
"Damn you're thick," She said, "That girl's got the hots for you so bad she's hurting. She couldn't take her eyes off of your cock all afternoon. I thought maybe you'd put her out of her misery when you got home."
"Come on Brenda. I think that you two take care of me pretty well. I don't need any stray stuff."
Brenda and Peggy looked at each other with a smirk on their faces and I wondered what I was missing. Peggy set the breakfast on the table. Brenda moaned and begged off on it. She nursed her coffee while Peggy and I ate. They decided to let Paula sleep.
Just as we were finishing our breakfast Paula came into the kitchen wearing her swim suite. She walked to the coffee pot and poured herself a cup. When she turned around we saw that she was feeling no ill effects from the vodka the day before. Brenda looked at Paula and told her that she hated people that didn't get hangovers.
After the breakfast dishes were cleaned up all of us except Brenda went outside and got in some swimming before the sun got up too high. Brenda went back to bed for a while. As we had the day before we all swam in the nude. I noticed that what Peggy had said was true. Every chance that she got Paula stared at my manhood. Whenever I caught her doing it she turned beet red and went under the water and swam away from me.
Peggy was watching her and grinned every time it happened. I made motions that she should do something and she shook her head and grinned; basically, telling me that I had to solve this mess myself.
Paula decided that she had to go home to get ready for work on Monday and left about two o'clock in the afternoon. I think it was because she was getting embarrassed at being caught staring at me.
Shortly after Paula left my parents brought the kids home. My father asked if he could use the cabin at Lake Mary the next week and I told him that he was welcome to use it any time he wanted. He asked if I would let them take the kids with them for the weekend too. That's one thing about my parents. They love their grandchildren. The children love them too. Now that my brother and sister are both in college and my other brother has his own place, their house seems empty. My parents stayed over for the day and my brother and his new girlfriend came over later.
After everyone had gone and the kids were in bed we all sat down to watch TV for a while. It had been a full weekend and we were all tired.
"Since we're not going to have the children next weekend maybe we should invite Paula over again," Peggy said.
"Sure, If she can wait that long to get a look at Damon in the nude again," Brenda laughed.
"OK you two. It's not as bad as that."
Peggy jabbed her elbow into my ribs, "Who are you kidding. I was afraid that she was going to rape you right on the patio. I noticed that you sneaked a few glances her way yourself."
I didn't say anything; I just watched TV for a minute. They were not about to let me up though.
"She does have a killer body though and she is very pretty. Don't you think so, Damon?" Peggy asked.
Now that's one of those questions that you don't answer. You never comment on how great another woman's figure is to your wife. That's almost as bad as answering your wife when she asks you if that dress makes her look fat. No matter what you say it's going to be wrong and you'll be sleeping with the dog for a few days.
I looked over at Brenda and she had that sparkle in her eyes that
said that Peggy had me down and she wasn't going to let me up. I
decided that a retreat was in order. I got up and stretched and
announced that I was going to bed. Peggy got up and said goodnight to
Brenda. So, Peggy was going to be my bed partner that night.
