Tina raised her eyebrows at that.  “What, you’ve never wondered what it’d be like to be with another woman, Tina?” 

“Well, yeah, but I’d never tell Bette that.”

“But don’t you see that as a problem Tina?” 

“How so?”

“Don’t you think you’d feel better if you could just say to Bette whatever was on your mind?  Saying it isn’t committing a crime right?”

“Okay, but how would she feel?”

“Don’t you think that she knows you’ve wondered about other people?  Don’t you think she does it too?  What, just because she wears a ring on her finger you think she never thinks about having sex with other people?”

Tina looked back at Bette, who looked up just in time to give Tina a smile and wink.    

“Okay, back to you and Candace.  What happened next?”

“Well…to be honest, when Candace told me she thought about other women, we argued, again.  But after a while things settled and I could admit that I found other women attractive too-the lady at the supermarket, the postal lady, the designer whose line I modeled…  There were women everywhere who I’d thought, ‘Hmmm….’ about, you know?  And I realized that I didn’t feel any closer to betraying Candace or leaving her with just the thought so I had to let her off the hook.  To make a long story short, we wondered, since we didn’t love our partner any less with the thought of sleeping with another, could we handle it if another woman made love to our wife.”

“My goodness, I just asked Bette if she’s ever had a threesome and she said that she didn’t know if she could handle another woman touching me.” 

Michaela nodded, “I can get with that believe me.”

“So did you guys do it?  I mean did you watch Candace and someone else?”

“Well, at first…no.  We had a couple of good friends who were swingers and they used to have these…parties.  They always said that it was so exciting to watch their partner with someone else.  But we didn’t think we could handle that so instead, the first time we went, we just watched.  The next couple of times we went, we just kind of made out.  Then, we made love a few times but as we became more comfortable, Candace finally told me that she wanted to watch me and someone else, just to see.”
