Chapter 248

July 15, 2018 (Sunday)

Dear Ms. Diary,

I woke slowly, and as I did, remembrances from yesterday marched across the insides of my eyelids. I winced internally at the realization of my second failing as leader and the meeting we would have today to establish an executive committee. Fortunately, I had not mentally kicked my behind too many times before the memory came of the Paleceks in our bed. I was particularly curious to see how Jeff might be faring with the lovely and naked Kai next to him. Very slowly, I moved myself into a sitting position, noticing on the way up that everyone appeared still to be sleeping. My eyebrows rose up my forehead when I looked to my right. I carefully reached behind me, felt around for my phone, snagged it, then took a photo of the scene at the head of the bed, the head being Brett’s usual place. When I looked at the photo, it was a bit blurry because of the relative lack of light. Since I did not want to use the flash and risk waking sleepers, I tried again by holding the camera on the top of the headboard to steady it. The next photo was better, although still not sharp so took a third.

The third photo showed the scene well, with Kai spooned into Jeff who was spooned into Katie whose left arm and leg were draped over Civ lying on her back. The torsos of Jeff and Kai were not covered by the sheet, but I could not see Kai’s breasts, as they were mashed into Jeff’s back, and her left arm was around his waist, but with the forearm disappearing inside his T, her hand presumably on his chest.

I looked up from my phone and over to Jim. He was on his back, snoring lightly as he usually does, with both hands on his belly, his right hand apparently holding the top edge of the sheet. Kalina had her left hand on top of his hands but did not have her leg over him. Emma’s head was on Jim’s pillow, her crown gently abutting the right side of Jim’s head and had her arms folded between their two bodies. I felt a little smile appear on my face, after which I took a photo of those three. I looked across the bed to the northeast corner of it and at Heather, as she and I are the two most likely to wake first. Meka had her right arm and leg draped over her. Because the sheet was below both girls’ waists, I could see that there was no space between the two of them.

I mentally smiled at that and thought, “God, I love my sister-wives., particularly those two.”

I thought carefully about that ... thought, and decided that I loved those two for different sets of reasons. I also knew that Rhee was still first in my heart ... although any differences were small.

I carefully replaced my phone into the headboard cubby, then gently scooted back beneath the sheet, rolled onto my right side, and curled into Mia as carefully, but as tightly, as I could. She moaned slightly, and that is the last I remember until I woke again when Mia squeezed my hand that was wrapped around her right breast outside her shirt. Mia rolled over inside my arm and pressed herself into me. We kissed each other a brief good morning.

Except for individual potty breaks, the 27 of us lounged in bed for about 15 minutes discussing the night.

Responding to Kalina’s, “Jim, you’re not a bad sleeping partner,” Jim stated, “I now know at least one reason that Jeff loves his wives. It was so pleasant both times I woke during the night to find his wives curled into me.”

Meka chuckled and responded, “That’s almost as good as Kai sitting there with Jeff, her pretty breasts on display.”

Kai rattled her brain, then reached for the sheet, but Emma said, “No, Kai. You don’t have to cover up for us ... or for our guy.”

Kai had the sheet halfway up from her waist to her breasts and returned, “It’s really okay?”

“Yes. If we objected, we would have objected to you being naked when we’re here or you’re at our house. We don’t object, at least partly because we’ll probably get a nearly insatiable Jeff tonight in our own bed.”

“Or in the living room as soon as we get back home,” Kalina added. “Those are some of the best!”

“Kalina!”

Emma riposted, “No, Jeff. Everyone here knows we have an active sex life and that we don’t mind that the lovely naked Kai gets you excited, which usually means that you give your wives a very wonderful time at home ... whether in bed or on the living-room carpet.”

When Jeff again objected, Kalina gently said, “Hush. Jeff, we’re developing a relationship with the girls that we want to be that of very best friends, and very best friends can discuss their sex lives. Very best friends can banter about sexual aspects of their respective sex lives. The young girls not only don’t mind the sexual banter but appreciate it as they learn that sex is not something restricted to the dark corners or to unlit bedrooms.”

“Mom’s right, Dad,” Mare responded. “We like it when you can joke across the line distinguishing our families, a line that runs through Civ and me. Dad, please don’t worry about what we think, as we know that we’re learning the right way to deal with sex, with sexual relationships, and with sexual banter. Dad, we like it that our parents can joke about sex with our sisters.”

Civ tagged in with, “Please, don’t be concerned about sexual innuendo flying across the room when we’re present. Even Taylor is coming to appreciate that banter as Raven teaches her more about sex.”

“Your daughter is right, Jeff,” agreed Raven. “Please, don’t be concerned for my girls’ benefit. Both of them are fine with the banter, particularly Mia, as she’s no less sexual than any others of the LA.”

With my right arm behind Mia, but with that arm running inside her shirt and that hand on her right shoulder, I could feel her blush at her mother’s words.

I gently leaned in and kissed her left cheek then whispered, “You’re not quite as involved as some, but you will be, and maybe before you know it.”

Again, her skin flushed warmer beneath my hand, so I gave her another peck on the same cheek. I then grabbed my phone, made sure that the photo I took earlier of Jeff and his neighbors was what I remembered.

As I crawled across various sets of legs, I said, “Kalina, check this out.”

When she looked at the photo, she exclaimed, “Please, please, can we get that printed and framed?”

I responded, “That photo is not at all up to Rache’s standards! The lighting sucks, the...”

“That doesn’t matter. We don’t need it blown up to three feet wide. A simple five-by-seven would do fine.”

When Kalina showed it to Emma across Jim, Emma agreed, “Yes, we need that framed.”

I came back with, “What about the next photo?”

When Emma advanced to the next photo, she gave out a soft smile and said, “You weren’t kidding, Jim. See?”

Eventually, my phone was passed around the bed and came back to me back in my spot next to Mia from the other side, whereupon Jeff asked, “May I see it?”

Since I could see Kalina nod, I leaned over Mia and handed the phone to Brett, and he passed it on. I could see Jeff’s jaws clench when he saw the photo, but he relaxed them, glanced at his wives, then looked at me.

“I guess I’m having ... a little trouble with ... what’s involved with being best friends with the LA. I mean, this is ... something that I’d typically be embarrassed about but is obviously something my wives like. I don’t know why they don’t object to a beautiful young woman being wrapped around me with her hand inside my shirt and, oh, yes, that beautiful young woman is naked. However, I’m coming to learn that so long as our two-family relationship does not become decidedly sexual, they’re going to be fine ... in fact, actually enjoy ... seeing photos of me in such situations.”

“Honey,” Emma softly suggested, “scroll to the next photo.”

When he did, he stared at the photo of his two wives curled into Jim, then asked, “Should we get that one printed, too?”

“If you’re okay with that, yes,” answered Kalina.

“And both will hang in our bedroom?”

“Yes, but not on the wall with that gorgeous photo of the two butts. There’s no reason to force such odious contrasts of a photo taken for artistic reasons and a couple taken to record our developing friendship with the LA”

Emma added, “When photos like that are put on our bedroom wall and all subjects are naked, then we’ll know that our two families have meshed. However, please, please let that take some years.”

Heather asked, “Do you feel that to be inevitable?”

“Maybe things will change, but, right now, I don’t see how it can’t be.”

In the pavilion, all three families shared a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and sausage. When we had completed both the eating and cleanup aspects, the Palecek parents bid us adieu, and most of the LA walked them to our porch.

Kalina remarked, “The two sleepovers were very enjoyable, and I could become far too used to them. I think we should do, at most, only one sleepover per week. Besides, Emma and I have a serious bout of no-kids-at-home sex craziness due us from our loving husband that just spent a night sleeping with the incredibly lovely and naked Kai.” When both Jeff and Kai began to object, she added, “Kai, you have our full permission to be naked with our family, whether that’s with all three of us or even just one of us, even if that one is Jeff. He’ll get excited at your naked presence, but we all know he can deal with that without crossing any lines.”

“Besides,” added Emma, “we wives of Jeff get the benefit, and we’ll ... probably literally ... spend the rest of the morning rolling around with him in many parts of the house. Not only did Kalina and I spend at least part of the night wrapped around Jim, Jeff spent the entire night with Kai in her natural state. All three of us have some ... excitement to use up in the most enjoyable fashion possible. And, Kai, during the departure event, please hug and kiss him last.”

Mare asked, “You really don’t mind Kai exciting Dad. Do you?”

“Why should we mind?”

The LA meeting to establish the executive committee went surprisingly well and surprisingly quickly.

Liya summarized it with, “Meka is the Chair of the Executive Committee. She may make time-sensitive decisions as she wishes but is encouraged to get an opinion from at least one other member for decisions she feels might be of concern to the LA as a whole. She may also assign decisions, at her will, to others of the committee. Beth has a place on the committee but is encouraged to allow Meka and the committee her and its head, although she should be consulted on any very important decision. We have voted to make this a standing committee, one that may make decisions without referring to the membership as a whole, but one that is encouraged to call on the Committee of the Whole for critical decisions.”
