“Now it’s your turn. Tell me what Thomas told you.” As much as I loved being in Owen’s arms, I needed to keep my head clear. I feared the conversation was about to go south.
Owen started slowly. “Before Thomas left California to come here, he only knew what he saw on video. He imagined how the chapter would play out and loved what he saw. Then he met Cyndi, and he and Devon went crazy for her.” Owen was stumbling on his words, not knowing how to say what he wanted to say.
“What? Their ‘relationship’? Listen, you don’t have to sugar-coat anything. I think I’m doing very well coming to terms with what is happening.”
“Mmmmm, yes, your coming is so very special.”
My face turned red.
“How much do you know about Thomas and Devon?” I asked, trying to keep the conversation on track.
“I know what you told me. The whole time Thomas and I were together, he rarely spoke about Devon or his personal life.”
“From what I’ve seen, Devon and Thomas are in a perpetual honeymoon phase. When they are alone, they are all gushy-gushy with each other, even after eight years of being together. From my observation, it’s a bizarre coupling. They enjoy each other very much, but they also have separate sex lives. Thomas likes to have multiple partners and edgier sex, and Devon is pretty vanilla, as vanilla as you can get with a cock like his. I think Cyndi is the first shared common ground, and it’s been a unique and bridging experience for them.”
It sounded odd to talk about Cyndi as if she was someone I knew casually, not my wife.
“I couldn’t draw an image when you first told me about Devon. But then I saw for myself. Everything you said was spot on, and like you, there was no way I wanted any part of a cock like his. I haven’t slept with a whole lot of men, but the one thing I do know is that I don’t want a man because of his cock size.”
We were so easily distracted. Owen knew he was taking the long way around what he needed to say and attempted to get back on topic again.
“I hope you are ready for this.” I nodded my head I was. “Thomas called me the night before I was getting ready to leave to return to you; of course, I didn’t tell him that. He told me they didn’t want to do the web series as it stands now.”
“Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me,” I said sadly. “I know this has to be difficult for you, Owen. We are getting to know each other, building this relationship while I’m still married, and lamenting the failure of said marriage.”
Owen pulled me into his arms. “As confusing as it is for both of us, I can’t be anywhere but here with you. I felt so empty when I went back to Minnesota.”
I kissed him lightly on his lips, savoring his now familiar feel against me. “I’m ready, tell me the rest.”
“Okay,” He murmured, stealing one last kiss before speaking again. “Thomas is super invested in this web series. People had started to notice him; he’d always been there but also invisible, and he liked the attention he was getting. Each edition of the web series raised his profile. When he met Cyndi, he knew he had arrived. He was willing to do anything to keep her.” His voice drifted as he gauged my reaction.
“And me?”
“That’s the thing. The statistics are all over the place. The viewers liked you and Cyndi together. They love you, BIG TIME. You are real, and that’s what they’ve wanted all along. When I was added to the mix, it was off the charts. Cyndi’s numbers weren’t anywhere near as good as ours. Again, what you and I shared was real; she came on a little too over-the-top. When Cyndi viewed the footage of us together, she went insane when she saw our connection. Then, when the overnight poll came in, and the viewers said they loved you and me together more than you and her, she went ballistic. I don’t know much about Cyndi, but I figured out very quickly she’s a demanding diva who has to always be in the limelight.”
For the first time in a long time, I let out a good, old-fashioned, side-splitting laugh. Owen knew Cyndi better than he thought.
“Typical of her,” I finally coughed out.
“Yeah, well, she decided to fight fire with fire. She had Thomas set up a shoot. They didn’t go directly to Arizona. They stayed in Great Falls for a few days after they left here.” He got up from the table, grabbed his laptop, and fired it up. “John sent this to me yesterday.” He logged on and clicked on the window labeled ‘Cyndi.’
Cyndi is sitting on the couch with her best friend, Trina. Tears are rolling down her cheeks. Trina holds her friend, letting her cry for a few minutes, and finally asks if she’s ready to talk.
“After Troy was a no-show for the second interview when the cameras went dark, Austin asked me to let him meet Owen alone.” She cries while Trina waits patiently for her to let it all out.
“Austin is so naïve, so innocent. I tried to explain to him the journey he was on. I have always supported Austin’s desire to be with a man. I needed to know that nothing bad would happen to him, so I figured if we did it together, I could protect him. But he was unyielding. I wanted to meet Owen to make sure he was the right person for Austin. He told me that I’d been his life forever, but there was something about Owen that he needed to explore. Regretfully, I gave in to him.” She starts crying again.
“I saw the video. Something clicked in me that maybe this wasn’t his first time. Maybe he was putting on a show for Owen, playing the innocent role.” Cyndi’s tears start again. “What if he’s been cheating on me with men throughout our marriage?”
She falls into Trina’s open arms and cries more. Trina tries her best to soothe her. When she lifts her head to thank her, they are face-to-face. Suddenly, they kiss. Then their clothes start coming off. Cyndi acts confused by what is happening, but Trina soothes her and tells her to relax, and she will make Cyndi forget everything, even if it’s for a little while.
I pushed pause, not sure I could stomach anymore. My head was spinning – Cyndi and Trina? How long had it been going on? There was no way you could convince me that was their first time. Cyndi knew what she liked, what would cause her to orgasm. I was fully trained on how to please her. Watching Trina, she, too, knew exactly how to please Cyndi.
“Oh please, the best is yet to come…” Owen pushed fast-forward and took me in his arms. “It’s going to get even more bizarre…” he mumbled and pressed play.
Trina and Cyndi are naked and lying in bed. Cyndi’s eyes are closed while Trina alternates between rubbing and licking Cyndi’s still-extended clit. It’s quite obvious that Trina hasn’t delivered Cyndi’s full requirement of orgasms. A noise in the other room draws their attention. A moment later, Devon is standing in the doorway.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” he said apologetically, appearing shocked to find Cyndi and Trina together.
“It’s okay,” Cyndi says. “Trina was trying to distract me from the news about Austin.”
Tears immediately return to her eyes. Devon approaches the bed and takes Cyndi’s hand in his. He sits on the edge of the bed, looking at the two naked ladies.
