The Impregnation

The Impregnation

When Claudia was younger, not being able to have children was actually a blessing. In those early years, it just meant not having to worry about getting pregnant.

In high school, she certainly wasn't slutty. In fact, all the other students thought the exact opposite. As a junior, she and a special boy on her school's track team had happily taken each other's virginity. They made love together for the first time in the high jump pit on a warm, moonless night in early May. She had been thinking about doing it with him, but hadn't really planned it down to any details. Using a condom had never even entered her mind.

Even years afterwards, she still smiled when she remembered that evening, lying with him under the stars. They had been in such a rush that they didn't even completely take off their clothes. She had hurriedly pulled down his jeans and boxers. At the same time, he was pushing her bra and shirt up around her neck, hiking up her skirt and pulling off her panties. It wasn't until afterwards that she had taken off all her clothes just to enjoy being completely naked in his presence.

She liked how her nipples hardened in the light breeze wafting across her skin. She loved his enthusiasm and how his hands and lips roamed all over her body. It was amazing how wet she could get.

While she would later rate his performance as less than ideal, at the time, she could tell herself that now she was officially a real woman.

They dated for the rest of the summer. But then he went off to college, and things changed. He was only about an hour away, but he didn't call her every day anymore. In fact, after the first week, he didn't call at all. To get things back on track, she decided to go visit him for a weekend. But when she let her parents know her plans, that's all it took for her mother to sit down with her and have a heart-to-heart talk.

In the course of the discussion, Claudia blurted out that she had been having sex. She was shocked at her mother's reaction. Why was she so uptight? Everybody was doing it. It was no big deal. All her friends had been with boys, so why shouldn't she?

Claudia was even more surprised the following Monday when her mother dragged her out of school and took her to an OB-Gyn. The doctor's post-exam explanation was a blur. It might as well have been in Latin. Something about blocked tubes or something-or-other and that she would probably never be able to conceive. She thought to herself: "That's a good thing, isn't it? At least I don't have to worry about getting pregnant."

But why did her mother look so relieved and disappointed at the same time? It was way too soon for her mother to think about grandchildren, and even if she was thinking along those lines, Claudia's younger brother could take care of that. They'd even have the family name, so why was it such a big deal?

At her mother's insistence, the doctor gave Claudia a prescription for birth control pills. And what was the point in that? He had just told them that she wasn't ever going to get pregnant.

After the first month on The Pill, Claudia was sure that her breasts had gotten noticeably larger. She suddenly had cleavage, and she liked it. In the girls' locker room, her girlfriends noticed the changes, and she caught more than one cute boy staring at her chest. Her mother said there are no such side effects to birth control pills, and that the timing was just a coincidence. But Claudia wasn't going to take a chance, so she dutifully continued taking the pills, even if she couldn't have gotten pregnant if she tried.

She never did make the trip to the nearby college. She knew the relationship was over when she heard from friends that he had been back in town in mid-September. He was just hanging out with some buddies at a friend's house, but he hadn't even told her that he was going to be back.

Why are boys so cruel?

Claudia found another boyfriend, and then another. She never thought of herself as slutty, but without the threat of pregnancy, she did occasionally use her condition to her advantage.

Six Years Later...

Claudia and Jack got married on the hottest July day in history, and their sex life remained just as torrid as the weather on their wedding day. She had been up front with Jack about her infertility, but he had promised he'd be happy living alone with her for the rest of their lives.

They bought a house in a typical neighborhood, three bedrooms: the master bedroom, a guest bedroom and the third was converted to an office. Less than a year later, one of Cluadia's college roommates, Jean moved in down the street. Claudia said she wasn't surprised when Jean had come out senior year and she was now living with her partner Kim, who was over five years younger. Over the first year or so, the two couples became really close, with Kim and Jack watching sports while Claudia and Jean discussed everything else in the world.

The dynamics changed one evening when Jean and Kim came over to ask a special favor. The lesbian couple had decided they wanted to have a child and they needed a sperm donor, and of course, they were hoping that would be Jack. They promised that he wouldn't have to do anything with the child, no financial burden and no parenting responsibilities at all. Claudia and Jack said they'd talk it over, but they had signed on before Jean and Kim had left for the evening.

There was one stipulation. Jean and Kim were hoping for a girl and they had read of a Swedish technique for increasing the odds of having a girl - Jack would have to have an orgasm an hour or so before supplying the sperm sample. According to the Swedish medical journal, the sperm in the second orgasm would have a much higher probability of having an "X" chromosome, resulting in a baby girl.

The plan was to have Jack provide a sperm sample which would be used to impregnate Kim. Jack was told to be ready in about two weeks. He and Claudia discussed this arrangement as soon as the guest had left. Claudia knew that Jack had always wanted kids and felt somewhat guilty that she had deprived him of any chance of being a father. He was definitely interested, but tried his best to make sure it would not affect their marriage.

Two Weeks Later...

Jack got home from work later than usual, and he looked exhausted. Claudia kissed him and suggested that he go upstairs immediately and masturbate so he'd be ready to come again right after dinner. His shoulders slumped and he said, "This just isn't how I pictured it all going down. You might not believe me, but right now, I'm not sure that I'll be able to do this."

She smiled, took his hand and led him upstairs.

He flung himself down on their bed and sighed deeply. She sat next to him and put her hand right on his crotch. Involuntarily, he recoiled slightly, and suddenly, his eyes didn't look so tired anymore.

She unzipped his pants, tugged his briefs down just enough and pulled out his cock. She stroked it gently, watching it grow quickly in her hand. She studied it closely, admiring the tip, tracing her fingers along the shaft, and rubbing her hands along his thighs. Claudia felt the wetness rise between her legs just watching him get excited.

It didn't take long for him to close his eyes and start to moan softly. She bent down and kissed him on the lips, then edged over and took his hardened cock in her mouth. Once again, he flinched, his eyes opening widely, and he uttered "Oh my God," before settling back on the bed.

It didn't take two minutes of her sucking on him, rolling her tongue around and licking his cock and he came. She felt his excitement rising as he started to thrust his hips. He pulled her head closer to him, forcing himself deeper into her mouth. She knew when he had reached the point where he couldn't hold back. The taste of his semen suddenly flooded into the back of her mouth, and she gently sucked every last drop out of him as he trembled and gasped. Finally, he pushed her away as he shuddered and moaned in the last vestiges of his orgasm.

Claudia watched as one last drop of semen formed at the tip of his flagging penis. She ran the tip of her finger across, wiping it off on his stomach, saying, "I'm marking you as my territory, so no matter what happens tonight, don't forget it."

Jack smiled and said, "I just wish it was you I was supposed to impregnate." He was surprised when she started to cry.

He immediately sat up and hugged her, saying, "I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean that in a bad way. We're fine together, and I wouldn't trade a life with you for any offspring. It's not really that big a deal. I love you, I always have and I always will. We'll do just fine. We can enjoy the freedom to travel and do all the things we want to do. Heck, it's probably better this way. You know me - I can't even take care of a plant. Well, maybe a cactus, but that's about it."

"I know," she sniffed, "but I still feel like I've let you down." He kissed her softly and wiped away a tear that was running down her cheek. "I mean, you'd have made a great little league coach."

Now he was actually getting choked up. They hugged for a minute before he suddenly felt ridiculous sitting there with his pants pulled down. They both laughed as he embarrassedly pulled up his pants and buckled his belt. Claudia said, "You have about a half hour before we need to go over to their house, so why don't you take a little nap?" He was already asleep when she came out of the bathroom two minutes later.

Claudia woke him gently about a half hour later. He rallied, and they trudged across the street through the snow that was falling softly. Jack said to her, "It sure is pretty tonight, but it's already March, so I'm ready for spring."

Dinner was completely vegetarian and therefore, not Jack's favorite. He wasn't complaining; he just happened to mention, "I need more protein to accomplish my task at hand." That got some giggles out of Kim, although Jean did not seem amused.

Jack offered to do the dishes, but Jean insisted that he sit down and rest up for "the task at hand." This got more giggles out of Kim. As soon as all four were sitting together in the family room, an uncomfortable silence took over.

Claudia was the one who finally broke the silence and asked, "OK, what are we going to do here? What are we supposed to do? How do you want to run this?" Kim looked relaxed, but Jack started squirming.

Jean took the lead, "We've thought this over quite a lot and we've got this pretty well planned out. I think Kim and I should go up to our room and we'll get her ready. You and Jack can go to the guest bedroom and take care of that end. Jack, I've got a small dish for you to come in, and we've got some distilled water and a small basting syringe that I'll use to insert your semen into Kim. It's pretty simple, but we think it should work. How's it sound to you?"

Everybody looked at Jack. "OK, I guess I'm ready, although I'm suddenly feeling kind of embarrassed. I had always thought it would be more romantic than this." Jean gave Jack what looked like a small petri dish, saying "Fill it up big boy." Kim was giggling almost uncontrollably now.

The four of them walked up the stairs and into the separate bedrooms. Jack walked over to the desk and put the petri dish down near the edge. "I've never tried this before, but I hope I can control my aim well enough to hit this target." Claudia could see that he was truly concerned.

"Let me help you," she offered, and Jack' eyes lit up. "I'll just pretend I'm milking a cow."

"OK, enough humor. It's not helping me get in the proper frame of mind."

"I've got an idea," she suggested, "How about if we both get completely naked?" She started to strip and didn't even wait for him to accept. He watched as she shed her sweater and bra, then her socks, pants and panties. She stood nude in front of him, and he felt himself get hard just at the sight of her. "Now your turn. C'mon, take off your clothes." He slowly started to undress. Trying to get him into the mood, Kathy added, "Would you like for them to see you naked? Would that excite you? How about if they were both naked here with you? Would you like to watch both of them get undressed?"

Claudia positioned him facing the mirror. From behind, she reached around him and started stroking his penis. He was already hard as a rock. He put his hands down on the desktop to steady himself. He knew he was going to come quickly. He moved the petri dish so that it was right in front of him, and he bent his knees slightly to make sure that he could get the tip of his cock near the dish. With every stroke of Claudia's hands, his breathing became deeper and more intense. It wasn't going to take long.

Claudia noticed that Jack closed his eyes when soft moans began to stream from across the hall. Kim was obviously enjoying her end of this adventure. The audible stimulation was all it took and he started to pump his hips involuntarily, and he began to groan. She continued to stroke his cock until she saw his eyes roll back in his head as he finally came in her hand.

Unfortunately, at the height of his orgasm, Jack couldn't control his contortions. His uncontrollable thrashing meant that he came all over the desktop. As he came, Claudia had backed away, thinking that he would take over and be able to aim where he was coming.

Less than half his semen actually ended up in the petri dish, and that was spread around the bottom and the sides of the dish. "I'm sorry, I'm making a mess, aren't I?" Jack gasped as he finally regained control, squeezing the last few drops of semen and sperm into the dish. Looking at the meager amount collected, all he could say was, "I'm afraid that this will have to do."

Claudia was already getting dressed, preparing to take the dish to Jean and Kim's bedroom. But before she was ready, Jean poked her head in the door and asked, "Are you ready yet, because we are next door." Then she caught sight of Jack standing completely naked in front of the mirror, still gasping and panting. "Oh my," was all she said as she hurriedly closed the door.

Claudia called after her, "Yes, we're finished. Here, you can take the sample."

Without batting an eye, Jean walked right back in, and both she and Claudia went to retrieve the dish at the same time. Jean was taking advantage of this opportunity to check out Jack, so Claudia got there first. Jean was still looking over Jack as he stood up, still panting, that she almost dropped the dish as it was handed to her.

"Well that didn't take long, and there isn't much here either," Jean complained, only half in jest. She gave Jack one long last look as she left the room.

Claudia hugged Jack from behind, and whispered to him, "It might have been my imagination, but for a lesbian, she sure seemed interested in checking out the naked guy. Of course, I always thought she was probably more 'bi' than gay, so I shouldn't be too surprised. Plus, I've got me one fine looking man, so I'm used to having other women look him over."

Jack had finally composed himself enough that he could start getting his clothes back on. When he was finally dressed again, he lay back on the bed and beckoned Claudia over to lie next to him, saying, "I need some post-coital snuggling." She laughed out loud, but she complied, and they kissed for a few minutes.

Suddenly, the door opened again, and Jean poked her head in, saying "Are you decent?"

"Would it matter?" Jack quickly replied.

"Well, this was a bit of a disaster," Jean informed them. "It turned out to be much trickier than I thought. It was a good thing we had some distilled water ready, otherwise, I'd have never been able to put together enough to insert into Kim. If this doesn't work, and I'm pretty sure it won't, I'm afraid we're going to have to rethink our approach."

"What does that mean?" asked Claudia.

"I don't know. Let's see what happens," was all Jean would say.

As Claudia and Jack were preparing to leave, they looked in on Kim who was lying on her bed with her legs raised. "I hope it was as good for you as it was for me," Jack said, which got Kim giggling again.

Two weeks later, they had their answer. Jean called Claudia, and said that Kim was having her period, so she definitely hadn't gotten pregnant.

"So what do we do now?" asked Claudia. "Do you have a Plan B?"

Jean replied, "Well, I think we should try it with Jack using a condom. That would allow a more efficient harvest rate."

Claudia laughed at her terminology. "Harvest rate? That sounds ridiculous. I can't wait to tell Jack that he needs to improve his 'harvest rate'."

When Claudia's laughing had subsided, Jean countered, "Well, if you don't like that idea, Kim is pushing for 'direct implantation', and you can guess what that is."

"What? She wants to fuck him?" Claudia was surprised, but Jean could immediately tell that she was not completely adverse to the idea. "Well, I guess it's not that big a deal, and it will certainly allow for a maximum 'harvest rate'." Claudia was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop.

When she did finally settle down, Claudia asked, "So how do you want to do this? Have you thought this one out?"

"Well, yeah, we have. In fact, I suggest that we all participate. How about if we all get together in a couple of weeks. Like last time, we'll split up to the separate bedrooms, and you and I both work on getting our partners ready. Then, when you're ready, you bring Jack into our bedroom and we kind of sit around, all in the same room, and you and I will watch them do it."

Claudia's eyes were wide with amazement, but before she could say anything, Jean added, "This whole approach was my idea. I didn't really feel comfortable letting my partner have full-fledged sex with somebody else. Plus, I was about to ask you to let Jack have sex with another woman. This way, we're there. We're participating. Kind of. Well, you know what I mean."

Claudia looked doubtful. "I think I see what you mean, but I'm not sure that I'd rather just not be there."

Jean shot back, "Is it because we're lesbians? Would you want to watch if you got to see a different guy? I understand that. I'm not expecting you to participate physically. I won't be either. We won't be coming on to you. You're my friend. I know you're straight, so I hope you don't feel threatened."

"No, no, that's not it," Claudia quickly countered. "I have no problem with your lifestyle. I don't mean it that way. It's just that I'm not sure I want to watch Jack fuck another woman."

"Why? Would it be different if Jack was watching you? Or maybe if you were watching another guy do Kim?"

Claudia thought about it for quite a while before she answered, "Yeah, it would. I have to admit it, those two scenarios sound exciting." Still more time ensued before Claudia added, "I guess we could try it, as long as the ground rules were well defined beforehand."

"Good. Think it over. There's no real rush. Kim won't be ovulating for another couple of weeks. If you have any concerns, let's talk." Jean reassured her. "And I'm assuming that Jack will have no problem with this arrangement."

Claudia chuckled, a bit nervously, "No, he shouldn't have a problem with that."

But he did.

"You want me to what? And you and Jean are going to be there watching? I'm supposed to perform like a trained circus animal? Is this a cover-up for some past one night affair or something?" Jack regretted the last comment as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

"Of course not!" Claudia was pissed, and she let him have it both barrels. "I'm doing this all out of the goodness of my heart so that you will have a child born into this world. And this is the thanks I get? You accuse me of having an affair and trying to make it up to you this way?" She started to cry.

Jack knew he had really fucked up this time, and he immediately went into damage control mode. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean that. That was a terrible thing for me to say. Of course I know you have been faithful. I don't know what I was thinking. It's just that I can't believe you want me to actually fuck her. And to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I can do it with you and Jean in the room. I've never done anything like that before. You know that. Heck, we've never gotten kinky in the slightest way, and this is right out there. I'm just shocked."

Claudia calmed down quickly. "What, you don't think Kim is good looking enough for you to come inside her? The thought of sticking your dick inside her doesn't sound exciting? What's with you? Are you the one who has something to hide and is feeling guilty?"

"OK, I deserve that. I'm sorry. And no, I haven't even thought of stepping out on you since long before we got married." Jack was still incredulous. "I'm still not sure about this. Providing a sperm sample is one thing. This is quite another. It's just that I get to sleep with the most beautiful woman in the world, and I'm not sure I can do it with anybody else."

Claudia actually started smiling, just a little. "Yeah, it is a bit out there. And our friends can never find out about this, OK? And especially my family. Never a word. Right?"

"Well, let me think about this, OK? I don't have to give you an answer right now, do I?

Claudia already knew he would go through with it.

They were summoned a couple of days sooner than planned. Jean called Claudia at work, "She's been taking her temperature and today's the day. Plus, she says she can just tell. She feels 'that way', something only us women can understand."

Claudia simply texted Jack, "You're at bat tonight".

He left work early and found Claudia upstairs primping. "You look great, you don't need to do anything more. In fact, you look so good, I might just take you right now. Yeah, that's it, I want to have my way with you right here and now."

He surprised her by sweeping her up in his arms and carrying her over to their bed. He laid her down gently and sat next to her. She was speechless. "I want you to enjoy my 'prep' too. In fact, I want you to enjoy it two or three times. Because I'm going to work you over so hard that we both will need to take showers after I'm done with you. How's that sound?"

She stuttered, "Well, uh, yeah, OK, but we can't be late. And you probably shouldn't overdo it. I mean, you're supposed to save something for Kim." He was already kissing her neck, and she knew that she would let him do anything he wanted and take all the time he needed.

Their clothes were quickly in a pile next to the bed, and his hands were all over her. He started with her breasts, fondling them and rolling his fingers around her nipples. He kissed her deeply, but soon, his lips and tongue were moving down her neck. He sucked her nipples and kissed her breasts and she could feel the wetness flowing between her thighs. He stuck his tongue in her navel and continued further down her body. She involuntarily clenched her legs together, but all it took was his tongue probing between her thighs, and she spread her legs to give him full access. She cried out as his tongue found her clitoris, flicking rapidly across it, driving her towards ecstasy. As his fingers plunged into her dripping cunt, she felt herself being pushed over the threshold. The orgasm quickly took hold of her entire body, causing her to thrash and moan almost uncontrollably. Jack was strong enough to hold her in position so that he could keep his fingers vibrating inside of her, extending her pleasure almost to the point where it became too much.

As he always did, he backed off at exactly the right moment, giving her pussy one last licking motion, and he climbed on top of her. The only thing she wanted at that moment was to have his hard cock inside of her. She reached between his legs, grasped his dick and guided him in. He slid effortlessly into her wetness, and she immediately started coming again. He thrust deeply into her, slowly increasing his rate as her orgasm intensified.

When she felt as if she might not be able to take much more, she said, "I want your sperm inside of me. Come inside me. Please. Give me your cum. Deep inside me. I need you now." She rarely talked dirty to him, and that night, it was all Jack needed to put him over the edge.

She held on with her arms and legs wrapped tightly around his body to keep him inside her as he began thrashing about, caught up in his own pleasure. He pumped harder and harder into her, spilling his semen into her until he was totally spent. He lay on top of her, gasping for breath, unable to talk for several minutes. When he first tried to roll off her, she held him in place. Claudia relished the feeling of the waning contractions of his flagging penis as the last drips of his semen slipped inside her.

She finally broke the silence and said jokingly, "I hope you gave me all of your Y-chromosome sperm cells, because you're going to need those Xs later this evening."

Jack laughed as he rolled off of her, still panting slightly. "No, I can't say that I was paying any attention just now. After that excitement, I just hope I can perform later on."

"Well, we better get going," Claudia said. "You jump into the shower quickly, You don't need to have my juices all over you."

"Why? I like having your scent on me. But maybe you're right. A quick rinse might be in order," and with that, Jack rolled off the bed and headed for the master bathroom.

Once again, dinner with Kim and Jean was not Jack's favorite, but he didn't even make any jokes about it. At least they served some good wine this time.

The dishes hadn't even been cleared when Jean insisted that they all get right to the business at hand. Jack looked at Claudia nervously, wondering whether she would actually go through with all of this. And if she did, he was also worried that he might not have had enough time to recover from the earlier orgasm with his her.

Claudia took him by the hand and led him upstairs to the guest bedroom. As she started unbuckling his pants, she asked him, "Do you want to get completely naked? Would you consider that erotic, to have three women see you nude? Would that help get you hard?"

She could see that he was flustered. He answered quickly, "I have no idea what to do. I think I need some help here. I think it might be best if I just have my pants pulled down. Maybe we should have asked, what is Kim doing? Is she going to have all her clothes off?"

Claudia smiled, "Don't you wish. You'd like to see her completely naked, wouldn't you? She's very athletic, she's got a great body. Her breasts are a little small. But what are you worried about? You're going to see her pussy, and Jean is making sure right now that she'll be dripping with excitement."

Jack looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Kim and Jean are having some foreplay right now. Since this is the ultimate sex act, they want to make it fun and memorable. Listen closely. You can hear somebody moaning already. And I think I hear a vibrator going too," Claudia said as she started to stroke Jack' cock. She was pleased to see how quickly she could make him get stiff. He didn't seem to be having any problems after their romp in the sack only a couple hours earlier.

When she could tell that he was ready, she led him to the door with her hand still wrapped around his cock. She turned to him and asked, "Are you ready?"

He kissed her hard, and said, "I am. And what about you?"

"Yes, I am. Let's do this," was all she said as she opened the door. She knocked on the door to the master bedroom, and they heard Jean's voice say, "Just one second. OK, come in."

Jack felt silly with his pants pulled down just enough for his hard cock to stand out. He was disappointed to see that Kim appeared clothed, at least from the waist up, and the rest of her was covered by the bedsheet. He noticed that both women immediately looked at his cock. He could instantly feel himself get softer, and he turned to Claudia, saying, "Give me one last bit of help here."

She surprised him by dropping to her knees and taking him into her mouth. He responded quickly, regaining his full vigor. When she felt he was hard enough, she stood up and turned him around towards the bed.

Kim pulled back the bedsheet, revealing herself to them all. Her legs were long and muscular, evidence to her years of athletic activity. Her stomach was a classic six-pack, and her hips were shapely and well-contoured. Most pleasing of all was the neatly trimmed mound of straw-colored pubic hair, which was definitely wet and glistening.

She spread her legs, and motioned to him, inviting him to join her on the bed. He still couldn't believe that he was going to get to fuck this beautiful woman.

As he walked over to her, Jack noticed the vibrator on the small desk across from the bed. It too glistened, testimony to its recent use. He climbed onto the bed and positioned himself between her legs. She adjusted herself, rolling her hips forward, opening herself to him. He pushed his pants down further, took his cock in his hand and slid smoothly and easily into her. She flinched as he entered her, her eyes opening widely. For an instant, he thought she looked shocked, but she squealed softly and wrapped her legs around him, grabbing his butt and pulling him deeper inside her. She was obviously enjoying it. Jack felt relieved.

He settled down on top of her, supporting his weight with his elbows and knees and slowly started thrusting into her. He could tell that she was very wet, and she quickly started thrusting back at him, encouraging him to speed up the pace. Soon, she was breathing heavily, moaning and starting to buck and thrash about under him. Jack felt her fingernails digging into his back, and her face had that look of simultaneous pleasure and pain. She quickly had a first orgasm, and Jack was proud that he was able to hold off long enough so that Kim was building up towards a second.

Jack glanced at Jean. After the way she checked him out last month, he was disappointed to see that now, she wasn't watching him at all. She was looking away, avoiding the sight of her partner enjoying herself so much.

Then, he made the mistake of looking at his wife. They made eye contact. She looked bored. Or was it distaste or disappointment? Either way, she didn't seem enthusiastic. But why would she? She was watching her husband fuck a very good-looking neighbor. He suddenly felt guilty. And with that, Jack felt himself softening. He knew that he was going to have trouble coming.

Kim was having no such problems. In fact, she was rapidly approaching her second orgasm. As she came again, Jean said aloud, "OK Jack, your turn." Everyone could tell that her voice was not pleasant. She added, "Or do you need some help?"

Jean turned and picked up the vibrator from the desk and walked behind Jack and slid the dildo between his butt cheeks. He stopped thrusting and his back stiffened immediately. He cried, "What are you doing? No, don't! Please."

But Jean pushed the dildo further, probing until it started to slide into him from behind. She smiled as a gurgling sound escaped from his throat, and he thrashed sideways, back and forth, trying to escape, but Kim's grasp held him in place.

Claudia gasped and covered her mouth with both hands as she looked on with complete amazement. Although he had tried to talk her into it years ago, she and Jack had never ventured into the area of anal sex before. Now, looking at her husband, she couldn't tell if Jack was in pain or whether he might actually be enjoying himself.

He gasped and cried out and squirmed as Jean pushed the dildo further and further into his butt. She got her intended result soon enough. The new sensation of anal stimulation pushed Jack over the edge and he came quickly.

But in Jack's frantic effort to escape Jean's attack on his butt, Kim couldn't hold him inside her, and he rolled off to one side. As he came, his semen spurted uselessly onto Kim's thighs, and he cried out loudly, still trying to free himself from the dildo. "What are you doing?" were the only words that he could say as Jean pulled the dildo out of him and backed off. Jack rolled over onto his back, clutching his butt as semen continued to ooze out of his cock. His face was still contorted by the orgasm that continued to roll over his body.

Kim glared at Jean, saying, "What did you do? Why would you do that? You've ruined it. I could have made him come. I was just getting ready to make him come. I had it handled. Why didn't you just let me take care of everything?"

Jean looked mortified. "I'm sorry. You're absolutely right. I apologize. I just wanted him to come quicker. I just wanted him to finish. I'm sorry. Jack, I hope I didn't hurt you. I had no right to do that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I've ruined it. I've ruined the whole evening." She covered her face and started to cry. Between sobs, Jean blurted out, "I'm sorry, I had no right to do that. How can I ever make it up to you?

Claudia was still gaping at the whole scene, completely speechless. Jack lay on his back, still twitching. Kim was still glaring at Jean. She pulled the bedsheet back over herself, covering Jack at the same time.

Kim broke the silence, asking Claudia, "Will you please get me a towel out of the bathroom." Claudia quickly obeyed. With the towel, Kim wiped the semen off of her legs and thighs, and pushed back the sheet and started to clean up Jack. Her touch made him bolt upright, and he held her hands in place as he gasped for breath.

Kim slowly freed her hands and tenderly wiped Jack clean, taking her time and inspecting his penis as if she had never seen one before. She was relieved when a bit of a smile appeared on his face. "Are you OK?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," he replied as he pulled up his pants. He didn't yet have the energy to buckle his belt. He lay there for a couple more minutes before looking over at Claudia. She looked like she was still horrified. He smiled reassuringly at her. "Was it good for you too, honey?" Even Jean couldn't help herself from joining in the ensuing laughter.

Later, back in the privacy of their bedroom, Claudia asked Jack, "Are you really OK? Did it hurt? I'm sorry. I kind of got you into this mess. I don't know what came over Jean. I think she was getting jealous. I know I was, just a bit. OK, maybe more than just a bit, but I'll get over it. I think Jean felt that Kim seemed to be enjoying herself too much. I mean, when she came the first time, Jean looked only slightly miffed. But when she came again, I think that made Jean downright mad. She was definitely jealous, and she wanted to end it right then and there. But to assault you with a dildo, that was unjustified. Did it hurt? Are you going to be OK?"

Jack smiled at her. " I'm fine. Thanks for your concern. And please don't tell anybody this. This is just between you and me, but I could see how it could have actually felt good. Well, kind of. It was certainly a new experience, and if it was done a bit more gently, I might have actually enjoyed it." Seeing Claudia's look of disapproval, he quickly added, "I'm not suggesting anything. I'm not asking you to add anything to your bag of tricks. I know you have an aversion to anal sex. I have to admit that I kind of did too before this evening. I certainly came quickly, and it was a pretty hard orgasm. Especially considering that you had fucked my eyes out only two hours before. I still don't get how gay guys can enjoy doing it to each other, but now I can actually start to see how somebody might enjoy it with a member of the opposite sex."

Jack was so tired that he didn't even stay awake to watch the news at 11pm.

Jean called early the next morning. Jack was still in the shower and Claudia answered the phone. Jean immediately started apologizing profusely. "I'm sorry. Once again, I apologize for ruining everything last night. I promise to make it up to you any way I can. What can I possibly do to express my regret for my unconscionable behavior? I'm sorry that this whole thing didn't work out. I'm sorry for dragging you two into this whole mess."

Claudia quickly countered, "Jean, relax. Jack is fine. I'm fine. We're all fine." She lowered her voice, "In fact, I think Jack actually enjoyed it. On some level that is. Don't plan on doing that again, but I don't think you have to worry about him. Anyway, I think we should keep going with this whole thing. I think we should try again next month. Let me talk to Jack and see what he thinks. We might have to let him call more of the shots, but I think he's on board."

Jean exhaled loudly. "I am so relieved. I was worried that you may never talk to me again. I can't believe you'd agree to keep going. I'm so thankful to have a friend like you. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Claudia chuckled, "And how is Kim? Is she talking to you? Will she ever get over it?"

"Yeah, she's talking to me, but it will be a while before she's over it. She was sure that I had blown the whole deal last night, and she's gotten herself all fired up about this whole getting pregnant deal. She just felt like it was all over. She'll be happy to hear that it still might happen. I can't wait to tell her."

When Jack got out of the shower, Claudia related the phone conversation to him. "I told her that I'm still OK with this, but that I'd have to ask you. So, would you still be willing to go through with all of this?" she asked.

Jack thought about it for a moment and then answered, "Yeah, but we're going to need to make some changes. First, Jean has to get over being jealous. She needs to realize that I am not going to steal her partner away from her. I mean, if you can deal with it, she has to also. Secondly, I'm probably going to need to do this differently. I have to admit that I might not have been able to finish last night. I got some serious feelings of guilt when I looked over at you. I don't know if I can come under pressure like that. Maybe I need to think about it some today."

She kissed him long and hard and said, "Well, whatever you decide, I promise I will go along. I just want you before and after." She kissed him again and left for work.

When he got home from work, Claudia immediately asked him, "So, did you think about how you would handle the next baby-making evening? Got any ideas? Or should I say, do you have any fantasies?"

"It's interesting that you mention the word 'fantasy', because yes, I did think about it, and what I'd like to do is a bit of a fantasy. but you girls probably won't go along with it, so maybe I should just keep my fantasies to myself."

"No, please tell me," Claudia insisted. "I'd really like to know. I can't promise that I will be a completely involved participant, but run it by me anyway. You know me, I'm always interested to hear your fantasies."

Jack thought it over for a moment and then started in, "With you just watching, I felt guilty. I need you to be a part of it all, even if it just means that you're naked. Would that bother you? Being naked in the same room with two lesbians? And me, of course?"

Claudia laughed, "No, that wouldn't bother me at all. I wouldn't feel threatened or whatever. I'm not going to jump in bed with them, but if you wanted me to, I'd take off all my clothes. Why, would you be naked too?"

"Well, yeah. And Kim and Jean. I think we should all get naked. In fact, if it was up to me, I'd like to have one big strip poker party with you three girls. I need some stimulation, and it would be great, if we could make it erotic and fun, at least for me. Am I being weird? Do you think they'd go along with it?"

"No, you're not being weird." Claudia then thought about Kim and Jean's response. "I think Kim would go along with it; she's pretty proud of her body, and she has every right to be. But Jean is actually a bit of a prude when it comes to her own nudity. She obviously took her time and gave you a thorough looking over that first night at their place. But getting her to shed her clothes, I don't think I've ever seen her get naked in public. You've never seen her without her clothes on, have you?"

"Of course not," Jack quickly replied. "But she seems to be in good shape. She's pretty. Heck, what's not to like? Sure, she's got kind of small breasts, but I'd still like to see her take off her clothes. Do you think we could shame her into it?"

Claudia recoiled at his suggestion, "No, I'm not shaming her into anything. I am not using last night as extortion. If she wants to go along with your fantasy, then so be it, but I am not going to push her into anything."

Jack relented, "I didn't mean it like that. Well, maybe I did. Still, I would like to see her naked, if that's OK with you."

Claudia smirked, "Of course, you have my permission to see her naked. You're trying to impregnate her partner Kim, so what's the big deal about you seeing Jean naked? But you have to set this up. It's your show, OK?"

"OK, I'll go over there and talk to them. Maybe right now. Wanna come along?"

"No, I'm going to the store. Do you need anything? No? OK, I'll see you in an hour."

As Claudia drove off, Jack walked across the street and rang the doorbell. Kim answered and immediately started gushing over him. "How are you feeling today? Are you OK? I'm sorry for last night. This just isn't working out how I had thought it would, but I want you to know that I'm so, so happy that you still want to go on with this whole idea. I know it's hard for you, and I really appreciate you making all this effort."

Her comments made Jack smile. She paused a moment, touched his arm and looked him straight in the eyes and said, "Maybe we should just be taking care of all of this on our own." That Jack got flustered. He wasn't prepared for that suggestion, although he realized quickly that he would think about it non-stop for the next few months.

Before he could regain his composure, Jean joined them. She kept her head down and apologized for what seemed like the millionth time. "How can I ever make it up to you? What can I, we, do to thank you for staying with us on this project? How would you like to do it all the next time?"

Jack replied, "Well, I have to be honest, the pressure of performing with an audience is surprisingly tough. I never would have thought I'd have trouble, but I have to admit that I did. It would be much better, at least for me, if it was more erotic. I need some help here."

Kim turned to Jean and said, "I told Jack that it might be best if he and I just took care of things in private. That way, you and Claudia don't have to participate, and there's no pressure on Jack."

Jean quickly shot back, "No, I really want to be part of you getting pregnant. I want to be there. Please. I'll keep quiet. I'll stay in the background. But please, let me be there. I'll do anything. Anything at all."

Jack looked at her and asked, "Would you take off your clothes?"

Jean raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought about it for quite a while. Jack noted that Kim was giving Jean a look of encouragement, as if willing her to go along with the suggestion. Jean finally said, "Would that be all it would take? I'd do anything if you give my partner a baby. Sure, I'd do it. I assume you're talking about next month?"

Jack laughed, and said, "Yeah, I was talking about next time we get together." He laughed to himself at the piggish thoughts going through his mind, but he refrained from making any other comments.

"And what about Claudia, is she going to participate? I hope she won't feel awkward. Is she OK with this? " Kim asked.

"Yes, I've already cleared the idea with her, so we're good to go," Jack reassured the women.

Kim wasn't finished, "So do you have any other suggestions to make it more 'erotic' for you?"

"Well, now that you mention it, I've always wanted to play strip poker with just women. Would you go along with that?" Jack looked at them hopefully.

Jean looked disgusted, as if having Jack see her naked wasn't enough. Now he wanted to make a game of it. "Why can't we just strip and forget the poker?" she asked.

Kim smiled at Jean and said, "Oh come on, honey. Let's just have some fun. Wouldn't it be exciting to get naughty once in a while? Think about it. We'll talk it over. It's the least we can do. Jack - we'll let you know as soon as possible, but you can count me in."

"Oh, and one more thing," Jack added, "I would like some meat and red wine for dinner. Is that OK?" The two women quickly concurred.

Jack left smiling. He was already looking forward to next month.

The day came soon enough. Once again, he got home early and found his wife already naked in bed. She threw back the covers, revealing her trim body to him. "I've been waiting for you," she teased.

He tore off his clothes, throwing them all over the floor. He pounced on her and pressed his body against hers, kissing her long and slow and hard. "I like having all my skin touching all of your skin," he said. He quickly moved his way down her body, pausing to look up at her and say, "And I really like to kiss every square inch of your body too."

First, he concentrated on her breasts, kissing, sucking, licking, nuzzling and tonguing her nipples until each one stood up erect. She was already squirming under his touch, and she could feel the wetness rising between her legs. She started thrashing about as soon as his tongue slipped between her labia, expertly finding her clitoris. She arched her back as she shot into her first orgasm and her eyes rolled back into her head as she lost all control.

His fingers slipped deep inside her wet cunt, his quick, sharp vibrations extending her pleasure. Was it one long orgasm, or two separate ones? She couldn't tell anymore. She arched her back as the paroxysms of pleasure washed across her body

When she thought she couldn't take any more, she clenched her legs together, forcing him away momentarily. He kept his hand on top of her pubic hair, vibrating softly but quickly, causing her orgasm to continue.

She was still shuddering with pleasure when he pulled her on top of himself, forcing her legs apart. He commanded her, "Sit up. I want to watch you fuck me."

But she was collapsed on top of him, completely out of breath. She lay there quietly for a few moments before she could even respond, "I can't. I can't move."

He let her lay still on top of him, kissing and nibbling at her earlobes. She had to wait a minute before she could sit up and start slowly pumping up and down, impaling herself repeatedly onto his hardened penis.

His hands fondled her breasts, his fingers rolling around her nipples. She returned the favor, knowing that his nipples were just as sensitive, maybe even more so, than hers.

She could feel another orgasm rising inside as she increased her pace as his cock drove into her and then slid out, rubbing against her clitoris each time. She soon reached the point where she knew that resisting the orgasm was futile, and she started pounding herself on top of him at a feverish pace, forcing herself over the edge.

"Oh my God, I'm coming again," she screamed as she collapsed on top of him. She could feel her cunt contracting on his rock-hard penis, gripping the shaft so that even his subtlest movement felt like a vibrator inside of her.

Before her orgasm had completely subsided, he rolled her over on her back and lay on top of her. She clutched him to her body, pulling him close with her arms and legs, drawing his hard cock deep inside her. She shuddered and squirmed as he thrust into her, faster and faster.

Quickly, she was coming again. She begged him, "I need you to come. I want you to come inside me. Give me your sperm. I want it inside me. Now. Please." When he couldn't hold himself back any longer, he exploded, spilling his seed inside her. They both climaxed together, screaming in unison, completely unashamed of their boisterous lovemaking.

As their orgasms subsided, they lay together, as he tried to support most of his weight with his knees and elbows. Each involuntary contraction of his penis and each twitch in her vagina would cause the other to shudder with further pleasure. Occasionally, he would gently stroke his penis into and out of her pussy, just enough to make her shudder and grip him more closely. She felt like she would happily go forever like this, in his embrace.

He finally tried to roll off from on top of her, but she held him in place. "No, not until I have collected every drop of your semen. You have to stay where you are until you are dry. I want all of your cum. Every last drop. Just stay on top of me." She pulled him even closer, wrapping her legs around him, ensuring that his penis stayed lodged in her dripping cunt. She could feel their combined juices running down her backside, deep into the crack of her butt, relishing the messiness of it all.

He finally shrank enough that he slipped out of her, despite her efforts. Only then did she allow him to roll off of her and onto his back. She propped herself up on her elbow and ran her hand along his chest, twirling in her fingers the sparse strands of hair on his chest and stomach.

She admired his flacid penis, shining with its wetness. She hoped that most of the glistening was due to her and that she had captured every possible drop of semen inside her. Even if she couldn't get pregnant, she wanted to pretend that his seed was growing insider her.

She lay back on the bed, enjoying the feel of the warm, late spring breeze wafting through the open windows and across her naked body. Absentmindedly, she twirled her fingers around her areolas, feeling her nipples harden. She felt the warmth growing again inside of her. How could she want more lovemaking already?

Eventually, they had to get up before making their way across the street. They both showered quickly and got dressed, carefully picking out every piece of clothing because they both knew that each item would be seen as it was shed in full view of their neighbors. Nothing would be hidden tonight.

Jack was pleased that Kim and Jean served roast pork tenderloin for dinner. What made it even better was that they paired it with a very nice pinot noir.

On the other hand, he was secretly worried that Claudia might feel the most uncomfortable about this evening's plans. She wouldn't be seeing anything exciting, at least from her vantage point. He figured that a little extra wine might loosen her up, so he made sure that Claudia's glass was never near empty. She seemed to go along with his thinking, and she ended up drinking as much as the other three put together. When dinner was finished, she was more than a bit tipsy and she gigged at anything anybody said.

When the table was cleared and the dishes done, the four of them moved to the family room. Claudia giggled when a nervous silence soon fell over the room. "Well hubby, it's your show. But I think we should dispense with the strip poker game and just get right to the business at hand. And since you're the main attraction, I think you should go first. C'mon, stand up and do your best Chippendales act for us. I want to see you strip right here. Girls, do you agree with me? This is a democratic country. Let's take a vote." She raised her hand and looked at the other two women. Kim was smiling broadly as her hand shot up, but Jean rolled her eyes and slowly raised her hand.

Jack turned beet red and quickly replied, "No, you said I'm the main attraction, so we have to save that for last. I think I should get to pick."

All three women looked at him, waiting for him to announce his selection. He paused for dramatic effect before saying, "Jean, I want you to go first."

Before he could say another word, she immediately shot back, "No. I'm not going first. To be honest, I don't want to do this at all. Why don't we just forget the whole nudity thing."

"Oh, c'mon Jean, loosen up a bit," Claudia was slurring her words. "Maybe you should have a few more glasses of wine. It seems to have worked for me. Heck, I'll go first."

But Kim stood up quickly, and said to Jean, "Honey, we're all in this together. You don't have to go first, but eventually tonight, you'll have to take off all your clothes if you want to be part of everything. It won't be hard. I think you'll actually end up enjoying it. Just think of it as being free of your clothes. Relax. Enjoy it."

Kim continued, "Watch how easy it is." And with that, Kim walked to the middle of the room, and facing Jean, she unbuttoned her blouse, sliding it off her shoulders and arms and flinging it onto a nearby chair. Her red brassiere was lacy and well fitting, pushing her perky breasts into a very tantalizing display of cleavage. Jack was gaping and even Claudia was impressed.

Next, Kim unbuckled her belt and unbuttoned her tight fitting jeans, sliding them down over her hips, revealing matching red panties. She struggled getting the jeans off her legs, and ended up stumbling slightly as she tried to maintain her balance as she pulled them off. She laughed at herself, saying, "It's tough to be graceful when your jeans are this tight." But she quickly regained her composure and stood up straight unashamedly in front of everybody in just her bra and panties.

Feeling all the eyes on her, Kim reached behind her back and unsnapped her bra. She lingered as the straps fell from her shoulders, and she held the cups in place momentarily. She smiled slightly and looked at Jean for approval. She was relieved when Jean obviously smiled back. One last look at Jack and she lowered the brassiere from her breasts, letting it fall to the floor.

Jack smiled broadly. She had extremely beautiful breasts, even nicer than he had imagined. They were exactly what the French would term perfectly-sized - they would fill a champagne glass very nicely. Her nipples were set in small, dark areolas, and Jack could see that they were getting harder as he watched. He felt himself getting hard and he squirmed on the sofa just a bit.

Kim looked at Jean, and slid her lacy, red panties down her long legs and stepped out of them. She put her hands on her hips, threw her head back and stood up proudly. She enjoyed the admiring looks she was getting.

After a few seconds, she turned around, shifted her hips back and forth as if to show off her tight, athletic ass, then turned back around to face the other three. She moved her feet just a bit to allow her legs to spread, showing off her neatly trimmed patch of blonde pubic hair.

Kim shifted her weight from foot to foot, throwing one hip out and then the next. She turned from side to side, offering a series of views of her body. Claudia wondered how she did it so matter-of-factly. It was almost as if she had done it a hundred times before. She wasn't embarrassed in the slightest bit. In fact, she looked like she was enjoying it. And why shouldn't she? She was the essence of modern femininity - strong and well shaped. This beautiful woman who was standing naked right in front of them had them all entranced.

Kim stood silently for what seemed to be quite a while. Nobody could move. She finally looked at Jean and said, "OK, I went first, who's next?" As if to offer encouragement, Kim extended her hand to Jean. "See honey, there's nothing to be ashamed of. We're all friends. You have a great body, and you should be proud to show it off. C'mon."

But before Jean could even object, Claudia bounced to her feet and bubbling with wine-induced enthusiasm, she said, "OK, I'll go next." Without any hesitation, she pulled her thin sweater over her head, mussing up her hair. She tossed the sweater to Jack and quickly and deftly unhooked her bra, letting her full breasts fall out into view. She threw her bra towards Jack and puffed out her chest displaying them proudly towards Jean and Kim, as if to say, "My boobs are bigger than both of yours put together."

Jack was gaping even more. He didn't think it was possible to get any better than this, and he was already hard as a rock. He watched as his wife unbuttoned her capris and slid them down her legs and stepped out of them. She turned around to show off her Victoria Secret thong underwear, the small back string disappearing into her exquisitely shaped ass. Jack was pleased when he realized that while Claudia's butt wasn't as tight and firm as Kim's, he preferred his wife's slightly softer look.

Without any hesitation, Claudia slid out of her panties and twirled and turned to show off every inch of skin. She was delighted to hear her husband say, "Honey, you are absolutely gorgeous. Please come over and sit next to me." She did better than that - she plopped her naked body right in his lap, causing everybody to laugh. He kissed her on the mouth and started to move his lips down towards her breasts. But she stopped him saying, "You already had me today. You need to save it for the baby mama over there." And with that, she slid back onto the sofa, giggling to herself.

Jean and Jack glanced at each other. Who was next? If he didn't have a raging hard-on, Jack would not have hesitated to take his turn. He thought about it for a second and decided to take a chance to get Jean to go first. "How about Rock-Paper-Scissors?" he offered.

She sighed and said, "Well I guess so. At least I'll have a fifty percent chance of delaying the inevitable."

They both sat up straight, faced each other as Jack counted, "OK, one, two, three..." Jack smirked when he saw Jean's scissors lost to his rock. He sat back to enjoy the show.

Jean looked resigned to her fate. Jack watched with delight as she quickly stood up and peeled off her clothes. She looked so embarrassed and uncomfortable. She literally squealed as she took off her bra, exposing her breasts. Jack thought her breasts were very nice - small but perky, with nice, big, puffy areolas, completely different than the other two women, but beautiful in her own right.

She seemed so embarrassed with her impending nudity that not only was Jean's face red as a beet, but the flush extended all over her upper body, which by this time was in full view.

As she pulled off her panties, Jean's eyes were closed and all she could say was, "Oh my God..." She sat back down in her big overstuffed chair, pulled her knees up and folded her arms, covering up as much as possible. She refused to make eye contact with anybody.

Jack stood up and walked around the coffee table and looked straight at her. "Jean, why are you so embarrassed? You have a beautiful body. Anybody can see that you work out. You're in great shape. There isn't an ounce of fat on you. Why aren't you beaming with pride? You should be standing up and showing off. You are gorgeous. Take it from me. I'm a guy. You are a very desirable woman. You should be bubbling with confidence. Your breasts are beautiful. Your waist and hips are perfectly proportioned. And I bet I'd compliment your ass too, if you had shown it at all instead of hiding there in that chair."

She looked up at him and slowly, a smile crossed her face. She could tell he was sincere, and she was suddenly grateful for his compliments. He had made her feel better, more than he would probably ever realize. She thought about it for a second, "He's right. I do have a nice body. why am I so shy?" She rolled over on her stomach, just to show him her butt. She smiled even more when he clapped and said, "Nice ass. Very nice."

But when he asked her to stand up, she would only reply, "That's easy for you to say. You've still got all your clothes on."

"OK, here goes." Jack pulled off his polo shirt, tossing it on top of his wife's pile of clothes. He looked down his body and saw the obvious bulge in his pants, and he was sure that the three women saw it too. All of a sudden, he was getting cold feet. He hesitated and looked at his wife. She smiled, got up off the couch and walked over to him, saying, "Do you want some help getting those pants over that hard-on you're hiding?" She moved behind him, brushing her naked body against him and purring in his ear, "Because I'm here to help."

She licked his earlobe from behind and rubbed her hand along the outside of his pants, caressing his crotch. "I'm not sure that this is helping," was all he could say. Jack was panting already.

He squirmed, shuddered and twitched as her hand slid into his shorts, gripping his stiff cock. "Oooh, I seem to have found something, something we would all like to see. Let me get this out in plain sight." With that, she unbuckled his pants, shifting them over his hips, butt and hard-on and they fell to his knees. He stepped out of them as Claudia continued to rub her breasts against his back. Finally, she slowly pulled down his skimpy black briefs, taking what seemed like minutes, exposing his shaft inch by inch until his complete cock sprang out of his underwear.

Claudia moved around in front of him and got up on her tiptoes so that she could rub her pussy with his stiff cock. She played with his penis, teasing him, sliding it into the space between her thighs, probing herself with the tip of his cock. He was more than a little happy to find out that she was wet.

Claudia knew he was ready, and she took him by the hand, leading him over near the fireplace where a blanket had already been spread out. Kim lay back on the blanket, propped her head up with a small pillow and beckoned to Jack. He breathed hard, released his wife's hand and knelt down between Kim's legs. He had no problem sliding into her; he was hard as a rock and she was already very wet. She flinched and moaned as he drove completely into her. She was pleasantly surprised by his length and girth.

Kim felt a sudden peace of mind. She had never felt quite like this and she thought to herself, "This is what it is all about. This is how a woman should feel. I'm about to get pregnant. This is what it means to be a real woman." She felt the excitement growing quickly inside her. Worried about Jean's reaction, she bit her lip, clutched tightly to Jack and tried her best to hide her orgasm. She stifled the squeals she felt welling up in her throat, but she couldn't hold back when her body started shaking from within. She screamed as she came, unable to hide the pleasure that was sweeping through her body.

Jack came quickly, but Kim wasn't disappointed with only having one orgasm before he finished. She held him tightly for several minutes as his orgasm endured. He was coming long and hard. She clamped onto his cock, holding him inside her, coaxing every last drop of semen out of him and into her.

Even when Jean suggested that things could end, Kim kept her arms and legs around him. "I'm not done with him yet." Eventually, he lay still on top of her and she was finally sure that now she was going to be pregnant. Contentment swept over her.

Jack and Kim lay side-by-side on the blanket, unashamedly naked, while their significant others got dressed. He looked over at Kim and said, "I hope that works out for you. I'm proud that you asked me to participate. Thank you."

She chuckled to herself, smiled back at him and said, "It was my pleasure."

Unfortunately, two weeks later they got bad news. Kim was definitely not pregnant. To make matters worse, Claudia had come down with some bug and she felt tired for over a week. She hadn't even completely recuperated and she got what appeared to be a case of stomach flu. Topping it all off, Jean had been called out of town on business and would only be back for weekends for the next month or so.

A few days later, as he was returning from a long Saturday bike ride, Jack saw Kim at the street retrieving her mail. He slowed and said, "Sorry, I seem to have let you down."

She looked at him with an appreciative smile and replied, "It's not your fault, it just didn't happen. Things don't always go as planned." Her expression changed to one of conspiracy, and she whispered, "We can always try again. You wouldn't mind, would you?"

Jack was taken aback by her forwardness. "Well, no, I wouldn't mind at all. But it will probably be a while, what with Claudia under the weather and Jean out of town. I mean, we'd need them to make it official, right?"

"No. Why do we need them? I mean, we shouldn't sneak around behind their backs. But if it's OK with Claudia, why don't you just come over next Wednesday or Thursday, I'll let you know which, and we can take care of this all on our own? I'll make it simple for you. I'll clear it with Jean and Claudia. OK?"

"Uh, OK." was all Jack could say. She smiled at him and walked back up her driveway

When he got back inside his house just a few minutes later, he was surprised to find Claudia already on the phone with Kim. "Yes, I'm positive. I'm OK with that. As long as it's fine with Jean. No, I don't have to be there, but I think she might want to be." Claudia listened for a few seconds and then laughed, "Yeah, especially if she doesn't have to get naked." Claudia laughed some more and Jack could even hear Kim's laughter over the phone.

When she hung up, Claudia looked reassuringly at Jack and said, "Kim wants to 'borrow' you next week." She chuckled at her own choice of words. "And that's OK with me, I promise. I hope I feel better by then, but even if I do, I think Jean and I are just getting in the way. So go have a good time. Not too good a time, and be sure to come back home. No sleeping over. I want you back here in my bed. Got it? And why do you look so surprised?"

He answered quickly, "Because I wouldn't do it if the tables were turned. I have to admit, and I am truly surprised that I feel this way, but I really don't feel comfortable going over there without you, especially if you're sitting at home sick. I already feel like I'm cheating on you, and I know I couldn't stand it if it was you going across the street."

She hugged him and said, "It'll be OK, it'll work out, and it will work out soon. Just think about it. You've got a few days to mull it over. I think you should go. There's no reason to stop now. Heck, I'm fine with you going over there every month until she's pregnant. I know how much having a biological child means to you. I wish I could have one, especially one with you. But that's not how the cards got dealt. Maybe we should think about adopting again. I don't know. I guess you and I will just have to keep having sex just for the sake of having sex. Just think of all the orgasms we can have together."

He lifted her chin and kissed her. "Wanna have one now?"

"Oh, I don't know. I'm still not feeling very good. In fact, I think I just want to take a nap. How about if we just lie around for an hour?"

When he got home from work the following Wednesday, Claudia told Jack that Kim had called and wanted him to come over that evening. "I want you to go. I'm tired and I'm going to stay here and just watch a movie or something. I'll be here waiting for you when you get home. Really, I'm fine with it."

"Well, what about my 'prep'? Can I talk you into anything? Are you feeling up to it?" Jack asked, looking hopefully at her.

"I'm still not ready for you to make me have three orgasms, if that's what you mean. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I should make an appointment and go see my doctor. It's been a couple of weeks at least. I should feel better by now." Her voice trailed off and she stared blankly straight ahead.

She finally looked up at Jack and saw him looking at her. She smiled and said, "Come upstairs, I have an idea." He followed her to their bedroom and watched her as she turned into the master bath and started the shower. She quickly stripped and said, "Take off your clothes and meet me in the shower. I need to wash you properly before sending you off on your mission."

He obeyed. She had her head under the stream of water when he opened the shower door and slipped in with her. She turned around and let the hot water flow over her shoulders, cupping it with her hands. "This feels so good. So warm and soothing." He watched her, admiring her body as the water ran over her skin. He massaged her shoulders, eliciting a contented purr from her.

Eventually, she reached for a bar of soap and started washing his chest, rolling her thumbs over his nipples. Now it was his turn to make noises of pleasure, and she wondered how many men had nipples as sensitive as his. Less than a minute of this stimulation, and she felt his penis brushing against her stomach as it stiffened, begging for her attention.

She rubbed soap all over his cock and started stroking him. She bent over and sucked on one of his nipples, then moved across his chest and flicked her tongue across the other. The combination of her soapy hands on his slippery cock and her oral stimulation of his nipples quickly had him breathing deeply. "Oh my God Claudia, you're going to make me come. You are so good to me. I wish I could make you feel as good right now."

"You do, all the time. Now just relax and let it happen. I want to watch you come all over my stomach," she said as he leaned back against the shower wall. She shifted her grip on his cock, bringing it against her abdomen. In his erect state, it reached just below her breasts. "Let's see if you can shoot your wad all the way up onto my tits."

"Oh God, I can't hold back any longer," he said. He started to twitch and shake as the orgasm rose within him. He started thrusting his hips towards her, and with a deep groan, he came. She watched closely as the first spurts of semen shot from the tip of his penis up between her breasts. He continued to come, but after the first few contractions, his semen simply dripped out, all over her hands, mixing with the soapy lather. She continued to stroke him, her fingers encircling the shaft of his cock, up and down, slower and slower, just enough to keep him coming without overstimulating him. Based on the way he was almost whimpering, he obviously was enjoying himself. She smiled at how well she had learned over their years together how to extend his orgasm.

He finally held her hands and said, "I can't take any more. Oh woman, you know how to work me over. I always enjoy showering with you. Thank you." He leaned back against the shower wall again and sighed contentedly.

"Come on, you better get out, dry off, get dressed and get across the street. She's cooking dinner for you, and all you have to do is take a bottle of wine. So get going."

He straightened up and said, "OK, I'm out of here." And with that, he opened the shower door, grabbed his towel, dried quickly and went into the bedroom.

Claudia looked down between her breasts and admired the semen that still adorned her cleavage. She ran her fingers through it, feeling its stickiness and consistency. She had long ago realized that a man's semen, like martinis, is an acquired taste, and she had long ago developed a great appreciation of both.

She finally washed herself clean, lingering again under the soothing spray of hot water. She dried herself off, wrapped her towel around her body and walked out into the bedroom. Jack was ready to leave, but he stopped to watch her get dressed.

As she always did, she turned to give him a full frontal view of her body. She liked how he always got that appreciative look on his face. She could only hope that he would never lose that lusty gaze every time she stood naked in front of him.

Jack walked slowly across the street, carrying a bottle of red wine. He saw that Kim's garage door was up, so he walked to the side entrance, knocked and let himself in, saying, "Honey, I'm home."

Kim laughed from the kitchen. He was surprised to see that she was wearing a little black dress, and she looked very feminine in it. In fact, she looked hot. The material clung tightly to her body, and accentuated her tall, almost muscular form. He also noticed that he couldn't see any lines indicating that she had anything on underneath the dress either. He stopped and stared at her. She saw him looking at her, so she turned, swept her hands down her body and said, "You got to pick the format for our last attempt, and I decided I get to set up everything for tonight. And I wanted to get dolled up for our 'date night'. Do you like it?"

Now that she was facing him, he noticed she had on make-up. Not much. Just enough. He didn't remember ever seeing her with make-up before. She looked softer, definitely more feminine. "Wow. You look scorching. I'm stunned."

She turned from the counter where she had been slicing vegetables. She put her hands on her hips and faced him, looking a bit miffed. "Why, because I'm a lesbian? You think we can't look good? That we should all be wearing doughty outfits or men's clothing?"

He recovered quickly, saying, "No. Not at all. It's just that you and I always sit around and talk basketball and stuff, and now I find myself dangerously attracted to you."

"Oh c'mon, you've seen me naked. You've even fucked me. Twice. Well, maybe once and a half." A smile was creeping across her face. She turned back to her vegetables.

"Yeah, that's right. But there's been something missing. You know, we've had sex, but I've never even kissed you. I've never touched your breasts. We just got straight to business. Now, I'm almost feeling guilty about the thoughts going through my head."

She turned around again, and walked over to him, grabbing the lapels of his windbreaker and looking him straight in the face. "You're right. We've never kissed. Time to rectify that." She pulled him towards her and kissed him hard on the lips. He was startled by her passion, and how quickly she took control. Her tongue pressed past his lips and into his mouth, darting everywhere.

It was he who surrendered.

She rubbed her body against his, putting her hand behind his neck, pulling his head towards her, intensifying the long kiss. He responded by wrapping his arms around her, his hands sliding up and down her dress. When she pressed her thigh against his crotch, she could feel him getting hard already and she decided to forget about dinner for a while.

She broke off the kiss and inhaled deeply, catching her breath. He kissed her neck and nibbled at her earlobe before kissing her again. This time, it was his tongue that was in command.

Before she realized what was happening, he had unzipped the back of her dress, his hands reaching inside, stroking up and down against her skin. He found only a pair of panties underneath.

She shuffled her shoulders, allowing the straps of the dress to fall down her arms. She backed away ever so slightly from him, allowing the front of her dress to fall away, and she took a deep breath as her breasts became exposed. She thrilled as he cupped her breasts, rolling his thumbs around her nipples. Now she was the one with the heat rising in her crotch. She was pleasantly surprised at how excited she could get from the touch of a man's hands.

He kissed his way down the front of her body, nuzzling between her breasts, moving to either side, licking, nibbling and kissing her nipples. She dropped her arms and the little black dress fell to the floor.

She pushed him back, stepped out of the crumpled dress, took his hands and said, "Follow me." She led him quickly upstairs into the master bedroom, turned back to face him and kissed him again. His hands returned to her breasts, and his fingers darted around her now erect nipples.

"It's not fair that you still have all your clothes on," she whispered into his ear. He tore off his windbreaker, pulled his polo shirt over his head and drew her body back towards his. She rubbed her breasts against his chest, enjoying the hardness of his muscles and the slight tickling sensation caused by the thin crop of hair up and down his torso. She reached down and unbuckled his belt and undid his khakis. He kicked off his shoes and stepped out of the pile of clothing at his feet. She admired the bulge in his tight briefs, her hands stroking him through the taut material.

His hands slipped inside her panties, his fingers quickly sliding into the wetness. She was pleased at how quickly his middle finger found her clitoris, and she shuddered at his touch. "Come over here. I need to lie down," and she led him over to the bed.

She lay back, inviting him to join her. He sat next to her, and immediately pulled her panties down her legs and off her body. She was completely naked now, and dripping wet. He lay next to her, his hands and fingers probing her wet cunt, his mouth kissing and licking her nipples. When he slid three of his fingers inside her, she gasped and spread her legs.

His hand vibrated inside her, slowly at first, then a little bit faster, a little bit harder, and a little bit deeper. The fingers of his other hand found her clitoris and soon, she was bouncing on the bed with increasing pleasure, the orgasm rising to a crescendo within her. She finally exploded in a loud, screaming release of physical energy.

She gurgled and twitched as he slipped his fingers out of her cunt, keeping them on top of her pussy, rubbing quickly but softly. She felt like she was going to come forever, that her orgasm would never slow down. Eventually, she held his hands in place, clenching her legs together, gasping for breath, trying to regain her composure. At that moment, all she wanted was to climb on top of him and fuck him as hard as she could.

But before she could move, he started kissing his way down her torso, stopping to stick his tongue in her navel. She knew what was coming, and she did nothing to stop him. Soon, his tongue was teasing her, probing her pubic hair, lapping at her labia. She was powerless to resist, and she spread her legs again.

His tongue slipped into the wetness, quickly flicking against her clitoris, causing her to bolt upright. He didn't slow down. She pulled his head between her legs and lay back down. Next thing she knew, he was fucking her with his tongue. She felt him push inside her, deeper than she thought possible, his tongue rolling back and forth. Then he would withdraw and lap against her clitoris several times before repeating the procedure. She rapidly felt herself reaching a second orgasm, and when he slid his three fingers back inside her, that was all it took.

Once again, she screamed in ecstasy and thrashed about on the bed. She pulled his head against her crotch until she couldn't take it any more. "Enough, enough, please slow down, I can't take any more." He released her and lay next to her, holding her in his arms. "Oh my God, I can't stop coming," was all she could say for several minutes. She didn't think it possible to enjoy a man this much, but Jack obviously knew how to please a woman.

Her orgasm finally subsided, but her lust did not. When she finally caught her breath, she wanted to take charge, she wanted to be in control. She pushed him over onto his back and climbed on top of him. She grabbed his penis and slid it into her. The sensation of the shaft of his hardened cock pressing against her sensitive clit was almost too much, and she collapsed on top of him. She was finding that the feeling on top of a much larger person, impaled on his hot shaft was surprisingly exciting and satisfying.

Kim finally recovered her composure and began again to push herself onwards, wondering how many times she could come with this man. She pulled her hips up and pushed them back down on him, sliding her clitoris against his cock, each stroke bringing waves of pleasure throughout her body. She tried to maintain the same steady pace to keep herself just below that threshold of pleasure where she would lose control again.

Jack pulled her face towards his and kissed her, softly at first, then deeply and hard. She felt his tongue inside her mouth, and suddenly, she couldn't help herself. Her pace of thrusting quickened and she couldn't hold back any longer. She bucked and thrashed on top of him, forcing his cock deeper and harder into her cunt, pushing the shaft of his penis against the most sensitive and private parts of her body. She gave up all resistance; she surrendered completely, and with a violence she rarely experienced before, she came again.

Jack was feeding off of her passion, and he kept driving into her from beneath, trying to match the frenetic flailing of her body. It didn't seem to him that she would ever stop coming, and with the way she was thrashing so hard, he felt he might slip out of her. He slowed momentarily, clutched her tightly in his arms, grabbing her around her waist and butt and rolled over on top of her, pinning her beneath his larger and stronger body.

She gasped and clutched back, wrapping her arms and legs around him tightly. A loud squeal emanated from her throat as she buried her face in his neck. He pumped harder and faster until he could hold back no longer.

As he reached his climax, he arched his back, his eyes opened widely, and he bellowed loudly as he started pouring his semen deep into Kim. She felt the full weight of his body bear down on her, and she saw the contortions of his face. She knew better, but it almost looked as if he was in pain. Each contraction of his loins brought another groan from deep within him, and she held him closely as she could, tightening the grip of her legs around his butt and thighs.

He twitched for several minutes, trying vainly to support himself on his elbows and knees, but she was actually enjoying the novelty of the weight of a larger, stronger person on top of her. He tried to move off of her, but she held him in place. Now it was her turn to kiss him, and she slowly coaxed him into a quiet serenity.

Eventually, he rolled to one side, and lay there panting and exhausted for only a few seconds before he propped himself up on his elbow and used his free hand to caress her. She watched him as he gazed at her body, looking up and down, the appreciation evident in his expression. She smiled as his fingers flicked across her nipples and his hand cupped her breasts.

But when his fingers slid further down her body and slipped between her thighs, Kim squirmed. She held his hands in place, saying, "Enough big boy. Enough for now. You've exhausted me. Just relax for a while." She pushed him onto his back, and he sighed deeply, staring at the ceiling.

Now it was her turn to prop herself up on her elbow and stroke his body. "I must say that you are a great lover. I have to admit that I'm surprised a man could be that good about knowing what buttons to push and how." She chuckled to herself slightly and added, "You eat pussy like a champ. In fact, I am going to bestow upon you the title of 'honorary lesbian'. How's that?"

"Why thank you," he responded, "But let's just keep that between you and me, OK?"

Kim got out of bed, disappeared into the bathroom for a moment and then put on a light sweatshirt out of her closet. She retrieved her panties from the floor and put them back on. She smiled to herself as she realized how wet they were.

She sat back down on the bed and looked at Jack, admiring his body. A number of thoughts ran quickly through her mind. A year ago, she never would have thought it possible that there would be a man in her bed. And here he was, naked, with his penis glistening with their combined bodily fluids. She reveled in the fact that her crotch was even wetter.

"Don't move," she said, as she reached with one finger and wiped off the end of his penis, scooping up one last big drip of semen as it oozed out of him. He still flinched, despite her warning. He settled back down, watching her as she studied it closely. She licked her finger, and a grimace came across her face.

Jack laughed, "Claudia says it's an acquired taste, kind of like martinis."

She shook her head and said, "C'mon, time for dinner. Get dressed and come back downstairs." She waited while he got up out of bed. He walked around the bed naked, collecting his clothes. He noticed that she was watching him get dressed.

Over dinner, they talked about everything. He let her direct the conversation, and he listened intently as she described how in high school, she dated a few boys, but eventually realized she was different. She really had no problem with being a lesbian. After dinner, they sat in the living room and talked more. He started to feel a new closeness to her, an appreciation of her life and how she had gotten where she was. He began to see the caring and loving side of this woman, and he realized that she would be an excellent mother.

They sat for almost two hours on the sofa, talking. It was midsummer's eve and the sun was just setting, with the fading daylight streaming in through the large sliding doors. She said, "I know I've said this before, but I want to thank you for everything you've done for Jean and me. But before you go, I would like to ask for one more favor."

He smiled at her and said, "I have enjoyed this evening immensely." And with a conspiratorial smile, he added, "As I have enjoyed this entire affair. I am the one who should be thanking you. Whatever you want, I will try to make it happen. I am at your service."

Gently, she pushed his shoulders back so he was reclining on the sofa in front of her. "Good, now just lie back and let me do all the work." He gaped at her as she pulled her sweatshirt over her head and tossed it on the floor. The sight of her strong, athletic torso thrilled him once again, and he gulped audibly. She slid on top of him, straddling him and tugged at his shirt until she had pulled it off of him. Next, she unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants. She noticed that he seemed to be squirming a bit uncomfortably, but he didn't resist. He was quickly naked, and she moved back on top, straddling his legs, playing with his cock, studying it closely as it grew in her hands.

When it was as hard as she knew it could get, she bent over and took him in her mouth, rolling her tongue around the tip, sucking and licking him. She knew that most of what she was tasting was her own juices. "I've never done this before, and I may never get the chance again, so I just wanted to see what it was like."

The only reply he could muster was a soft, "Oh my God."

She sucked and licked for another minute until he was breathing very heavily. When she sensed that he wouldn't last much longer, she moved her body further on top of him and slid his cock into the wetness of her waiting cunt. She sat on top of him, rocking her hips, sliding up and down on his shaft.

He moved his hands towards her body, but she grabbed them and pinned him down on the sofa. She knew he could break free if he really wanted, but this time, she wanted him to submit totally to her. She wanted to be on top and completely in charge. For the moment, he was making no further effort to resist.

She rocked her hips forward so that she could feel her clitoris pressing firmly against the shaft of his cock. She pumped up and down against him, using him to make her come. He began to try move his arms, but the more he tried, the harder she held him down. She was a tall, strong woman, but she still had to make a considerable amount of effort for her to hold this taller, stronger man in place. Finally, he relented, ceasing his resistance. Now she could have her way with him.

She closed her eyes and pumped harder and faster on top of him, rubbing her clitoris against his cock, feeling the friction of his skin against hers. She knew that at that moment she may have been the one in charge, but she also knew that it wasn't going to take long before she lost control, and she was looking forward to it.

That feeling rose quickly to a crescendo deep within her, and she pushed herself over the edge. Harder and faster until she couldn't stop, she threw herself into ecstasy again. She fell down on top of him, convulsing with pleasure. It was only then that she realized that he was coming too, grinding against her, meeting her thrusts and pushing himself into her. For what seemed like forever, they twitched and squirmed against each other, groaning and gasping.

When she had finally caught her breath, she sat up, still holding his hands and arms in place, keeping his cock inside her. She looked at his face, and saw a look of complete contentment. She started softly pumping her hips once again, rubbing herself against what was left of his hard-on. His eyes opened widely, he raised his head from the pillow and he gasped and grunted. He tried weakly to move his arms, but she kept holding him down as best she could. She gently rocked and pushed herself along his flagging penis until he had shrunk enough and he slid out of her. It was only at that point that she released his arms.

His hands immediately found her breasts, fondling them gently as he gazed at her, saying, "Wow, that was completely different. I liked that. I liked that a lot. Thank you. Thank you for doing all the work. I'm still exhausted." They laughed together.

The sun had set, and there was only a glimmer of daylight in the northern summer sky when he walked back across the street towards his house. He paused before entering. He suddenly thought to himself, "I wonder if I enjoyed that too much." He stood there with his hand on the doorknob, thinking. Despite the fact that he had his wife's full consent and blessing, he still felt a sudden pang of guilt.

The light was on in the family room, but it was empty. He looked upstairs, but it was dark. From their bedroom, he heard her voice say, "Well, that took a long time."

He walked upstairs, went straight into the master bathroom and turned on the shower. He undressed, got into the shower and washed himself from head to toe in an attempt to rinse off any vestige of his evening with Kim. When he had dried off and gotten into his pajamas, he sat on the bed next to Claudia and said, "That's it. I can't do this any more. That's the last time. If that didn't work, they'll have to find somebody else to be the father of their child."

Claudia snickered, "Why, did you enjoy yourself a little too much tonight?"

"Yeah, that's exactly it, and I feel guilty about it. You haven't been feeling well, so I should have been home with you, not across the street trying to impregnate the neighbor. How did I get into this mess?"

She sat up in bed and said, "Honey, I asked you, remember? And I stand be that decision. You're home with me now, so that's all that matters. Come to bed now. Let's see how things go and we can cross that bridge if and when we get to it."

He slid into bed next to her, their two bodies fitting together like two spoons. They both fell asleep quickly.

Two weeks later, Claudia still wasn't feeling up to par, so she went in to see her physician. "I'm always tired, I don't feel like eating, and I seem to have developed an aching back." The doctor said it was probably just a mild case of anemia or something simple. She had some blood drawn for some lab work to check for red and white blood cell count. Claudia was told that she would get the results in a few days.

Two days later, Jack was returning from a quick, late afternoon bike ride and once again saw Kim retrieving her mail. She was looking over the letters as he slowed to a stop and he asked, "So? How are you feeling? Any news?"

Kim smiled and said, "No. No news. But in this case, maybe no news is good news."

Jack pressed the issue, "So, you should be getting close to having your period. Do you feel like it's coming on? Any predictions?"

Kim laughed. No male had ever broached the subject of her period with her before. "No, I just feel normal. Maybe that's a good sign? We can only hope."

Kim stopped him before he could pedal away, "Hey, just by coincidence, I think I got something in the mail for you." She tore open a manila envelope, saying, "Yup, here it is." She handed him a small pin.

He looked it over and saw that it had the letters "HL" with smaller print reading "Honorary Lesbian". He laughed heartily and said, "Where the hell did you find this?"

She simply replied, "It's amazing what you can find on eBay."

Jack smiled as he pedaled back home. He felt a surge of hopefulness as he put his bike away and walked inside. Claudia was sitting at the kitchen table. He could immediately tell that her eyes were red and puffy, and that she had been crying. He stopped in his tracks and said, "What's wrong? You've been crying. What's the matter?"

"The doctor's office called." Her voice trailed off as she struggled with her emotions.

Jack felt a sudden dread shoot through his body. He walked over to Claudia, knelt in front of her and took her hands. "What's wrong? Are you OK? Is there a problem? What can I do?"

She stood up and said, "Nothing's wrong. I'm OK." Still, she was sniffling.

"So why are you crying? Something's wrong. What is it?" Even though he was sweaty from his workout, he hugged her tightly.

"Nothing is wrong, I promise. In fact, it's great news." She looked him in the eyes and said, "I'm pregnant."

Jack was shell-shocked. His jaw dropped and the only words he could muster were, "I thought that was impossible."

She hugged him back and said, "I thought so too. I guess not. The doctor says I'm pregnant, and she says she's sure. Everything else is normal." She held him tightly and suddenly became aware that he was shaking slightly. Now it was his turn to cry. She could feel and hear him sobbing softly in her arms.

He finally was able to say, "Oh my God, that is the best news I have ever heard in my life. I can't believe it."

Claudia's water broke the following New Year's Day, and a healthy, seven pound six ounce baby boy was born early on January 2. Claudia insisted on naming him Jonathan Kevin, after the two new grandfathers.

Kim delivered a healthy baby girl on Saint Patrick's Day. In honor of the birthday, she and Jean named her Patricia Jacqueline but promised that her nickname would forever be Jackie.

One year later, the two couples got together for Jackie's birthday party. The three women sat around the kitchen table, watching Russ lying on the living room floor with the two children climbing all over him. As he roughhoused with the two kids, Jean said to Claudia, "He's a great father. You're lucky to have such an active partner in raising a child."

Claudia then confided to Kim and Jean that she had seen her doctor earlier in the week, inquiring about whether or not she could have a second child. "You know, I'm not getting any younger. Tick, tock, tick, tock. So if we're going to have another, we should probably get going here. So Russ and I have decided it would be nice if Jack Jr. there had a little sister. So we may be using your secret Swedish method again."

Kim laughed and said, "Funny you should mention that. Jean and I were just having the same discussion." Both women looked at Claudia with inquiring expressions. Kim continued, "But we'd like a little brother for Jackie."

Claudia immediately announced, "Well then, it's set, we can just reverse the arrangement we used last time." The three women laughed loudly together.

From the living room, Russ said, "I heard that. Are you three ladies trying to kill me?" Again?
