- "My Only Foursome: A Tale in Several Acts"
-
- It happened in the Springtime of 1974, at Easter in fact. At that
- time, I had been renting a century old one room schoolhouse in Otis, Mas-
- sachusetts in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains, a lovely old New
- England kind of place. George, the local schoolmaster, was an old friend
- of mine, and he had suggested some months before that the schoolhouse
- would be an ideal place for me to get away on weekends, to read and
- write, and in general just to be away from the distractions of the city.
- The schoolhouse itself had been converted into what was really a very
- cozy one room, rustic efficiency - two couches in the main room (not
- couches really, but two single beds with cushions propped against the
- walls), a "kitchenette" off to one side, small bathroom and shower, and,
- in the rear, up a ladder and under the ancient eaves, a sleeping loft
- with one double mattress and a heavy comforter which was in fact a heavy
- sleeping bag unzipped, open, to accommodate two. The ambience was very
- much enhanced by the absence of electricity, light being provided by
- kerosene lamps, heat by the antique wood burning Franklin stove. At
- night, anything requiring much light simply had to wait till morning....
-
- At the time, I was seeing Elizabeth, the lovely twenty-eight year
- old sister of my good friend John, who with his wife Molly, had another
- house four miles down a dirt road, through the overgrown woods. Their
- house was adjacent to a long disused and almost abandoned cemetery where-
- in rested the bones of some who had fought the British two centuries
- before, and birthed a new nation: it had an almost sacramental aura.
- Elizabeth had long, dark brown (almost black) hair, which she wore
- straight, and large, very expressive brown eyes. We had been dating only
- three months, and our relationship in consequence was fresh, new, deli-
- cious. Very compatible, exciting sexually, we were still exploring and
- discovering each other, in every sense.
-
- For this long weekend, I had invited some friends to stay over.
- They were Paul and his quiet, I thought shy wife Joan, who drove down
- from Toronto to visit. Paul and Joan are friends of mine from Dublin,
- who married in 1972, and whom I had met five years earlier on an island
- off the west coast of Ireland. In January of 1974, they emigrated to
- Canada, and were having a difficult time adjusting to what for them was a
- different and alien culture: I knew they were looking forward to seeing
- me and meeting the others, because they had made virtually no new friends
- since arriving in North America, finding the Canadians a distant and
- inward people. I had no inkling of what was to come....
-
- Elizabeth and I drove up from the city and arrived in Otis on
- Friday afternoon, had a lovely meal with George at his beautifully
- restored colonial home, and settled in at his house to wait for Paul and
- Joan, since there was no phone at the schoolhouse and we had given
- George's number to Paul and Joan, should they need to call. They arrived
- at about ten, exhausted from the four hundred mile drive. We all went
- back to the schoolhouse, sat around for a few hours having drinks,
- and then went to bed, Elizabeth and I in the loft, Paul and Joan on the
- couches in the living room.
-
- The night was very still, and I was sure that Paul and Joan must
- have heard the sounds of our lovemaking in the loft: Elizabeth loved my
- tongue on and in her pussy, and moaned almost uncontrollably when she
- came. And after her first climax, she told me, she needed me in her,
- hard, harder, pushing, and pressing down against her pelvic bone. She
- was an assertive lover, and was always the one actually to put my cock
- inside her, holding her soaking pussy lips open with one hand and guiding
- me in with the other. And I liked (still like) that kind of assertive-
- ness....
-
- The next day, all six of us (with Molly and John's two year old
- daughter Annie) spent the day hiking in the woods, Paul and Joan general-
- ly getting to know my American friends. That night, ravenous, we grilled
- steaks at Molly and John's place (which had electricity), listened to
- music, and sipped fine old Irish whiskey brought for us from Canada by
- Paul and Joan. Molly, John, and their little girl were tired, so Paul,
- Joan, Elizabeth, and I drove back to the schoolhouse, lit the lanterns,
- stoked up the fire, turned the (portable) radio to what was a soft-rock
- station (I seem to remember Joni Mitchell's "Blue"album being played: "My
- Old Man," "Carey," "River," and so forth). We stayed up for about two
- hours, and in that time smoked some very mellow marijuana, for Joan a new
- experience. I have no recollection of what we talked about, remembering
- just that we were all comfortable together, "mellowed out" in the argot
- of the sixties....
-
- And then it just seemed to happen, naturally. Joan said, simply,
- "Let's go up to the loft." Just like that. I looked at Elizabeth, and
- her eyes were heavy lidded, shining. They always were like that when she
- was aroused, and I had more than once told her that they (her eyes)
- betrayed her thoughts. I even had shown her a passage from the sixteenth
- century Arabic treatise "The Perfumed Garden," which reminded me of her
- and her lovely eyes. Shaykh al-Nefzawi, the author, purports to have
- gotten this advice from one of the noted courtesans of his day:
-
- Oh you men, one and all, who are soliciting the love of woman
- and her affection, and who wish that sentiment in her heart
- to be of an enduring nature, toy with her previous to coi-
- tion; prepare her for enjoyment, and neglect nothing to
- attain that end. Explore her with the greater assiduity,
- and, entirely occupied with her, let nothing else engage your
- thoughts. Do not let the moment propitious for pleasure pass
- away; that moment will be when you see her eyes humid, half
- open. Then go to work, but, remember, not till your kisses
- and toyings have taken effect.
-
- Her eyes were very humid....
-
- Located as it was up a ladder and under the eaves, it was impos-
- sible to stand up in the loft. To go to bed, one undressed before
- climbing the ladder. Even at this point, I was not too certain about
- what was going to happen, or, more properly, who was to be with whom.
- That question was answered wordlessly by Joan, quiet, shy Joan, who was
- nude first; when she turned, looking me full in the face, unbuckled my
- belt, unzipped my jeans, and pressed her hand inside, hard against me.
- We were first up the ladder, Elizabeth next, Paul last. By the time
- they got into the bed next to us, Joan was already stroking my by now
- very erect cock. The lights were out, and the only very dim light pro-
- vided by a waning moon shafted through the window, whose top was about
- even with the top of the ladder, just below head level. So I really
- couldn't see very much, just outlines, but I could hear, and there was
- no mistaking what was happening on the other side of the bed. Paul was
- already atop Elizabeth, his motions and her responses shaking the mat-
- tress. And then she began to moan....
-
- But Joan and I had just begun, really, feeling each other all over,
- I on my back, she by my right side, her face over mine kissing, my cock
- still in her stroking hand, my knee pushed tight up into her groin. And
- then she half sat up, and began licking her way down my chest, down
- further, and took me into her mouth, licking and sucking. For me to get
- at her, to reciprocate, because space was so tight, she had to get on top
- and lower her pussy down to my mouth, her knees on either side of my
- head, even as she kept working at me. My legs were parted, she cupped my
- balls in her hand, fondling them, at the same time continuing to work me
- with her mouth. And all the while this was happening, Elizabeth was on
- her back beside me, her legs also parted, so that the outside of our
- thighs were pressed together. It was very exciting...
-
- They finished first, were already finished, when Joan and I revers-
- ed positions. Joan was not only orally oriented, she was also very
- vocal. "Come on, get on top of me...I want you inside me. Fuck me, fuck
- me hard...I love your cock...give it to me... come inside me, come...."
- And that too was exciting. And so I did. And this time, it was our
- movements, and Joan's urgent and thrilling sex talk, that aroused Paul
- and Elizabeth again, and they fucked again, beside us, at the same time.
-
- Afterward, nothing was said. We lay there quietly, for how long I
- don't know, but none of us slept. Finally, Elizabeth got up, went down
- the ladder, and into the living room, it being clear by then that there
- was no way all of us could spend the entire night in that one bed. So a
- little while later, I too got up and went into the living room, where
- Elizabeth was lying on the couch, on her side, facing the wall. I got in
- beside her, behind her really, and found that she was still awake. Not
- knowing what she was thinking, or feeling, I turned on my side, so that
- my chest was pressed against her back, spoon like, and cradled her
- against me. I reached around her to cup her small breasts in my hands,
- stroking them and feeling her nipples stand. Then I moved my left hand
- down to her groin, and began stroking there too. She responded by push-
- ing back against me, parting her legs, her left leg raised, resting on my
- hip. Then, in her assertive way, she reached behind her and took my cock
- in her hand, guiding it to, but not into, her. Still behind her, almost
- passive, my cock was between her legs, and she was rubbing it against her
- clitoris. When I moved to get into her, she pushed me back, and said
- "Not there; I want you here," placing me at the opening of her anus,
- rubbing up and down. We had never done that before, and I remember
- wondering if this was something about Elizabeth's sexuality that I hadn't
- known. My cock was already so wet from being rubbed between her pussy
- lips that it slid right in.... Afterward, she told me that, in fact, she
- had never before had anal sex. I asked what had made her want me that
- way, and she told me that she wanted to give me something that was for
- me, only. We never did it again because, she said, it hurt too much....
-
- Finally, we slept. When the four of us got up the next morning, it
- was a glorious Easter Sunday, sun shining, the daffodils already up. I
- think we all felt somewhat sheepish, embarrassed perhaps, by what had
- happened the night before because very little was said about it, and
- everyone spent a long time in the shower.... It was Joan, ultimately,
- who volunteered a quip about our having truly cemented the bonds of
- friendship.
-
- The plan for Easter dinner was to eat at the schoolhouse in the
- late afternoon, all of us, including Molly, John, and little Annie. But
- before that we were all visiting with George and his wife in the big
- house up the hill. I was doing the cooking, with help from Elizabeth,
- and before we went up for brunch and Bloody Marys with George (his Sunday
- morning ritual), we had put a large leg of lamb into the Franklin stove
- to roast over the coals. At about two in the afternoon, I explained to
- the others that I had better go back to the schoolhouse, to check on the
- roast, and stood up to get my jacket, saying I would be back in about
- thirty minutes. At this point, Elizabeth said she would come with me to
- help. I said that really wasn't necessary, that I could manage on my
- own. But she persisted, saying that one person shouldn't have to do all
- the work. So we went back to the schoolhouse, checked the roast in all
- of five or ten minutes, and I again noticed Elizabeth's eyes....
-
- She was washing her hands at the kitchen sink when I came up behind
- her and pressed myself into her rear, putting my hands up underneath her
- sweater, feeling and gently squeezing her breasts. She wore no bra.
- Turning around then, she put her arms around my neck, our mouths found
- each other, and we pressed, and rubbed, together. I reached down to the
- top of her jeans, undid the button, unzipped them, and slid my hand down
- between her lips, finding her already very wet. In time, I pushed the
- jeans down. Her panties followed, and I lifted her by the waist, sitting
- her on the kitchen counter next to the sink, took off her boots, then her
- jeans, then the panties.... I was still fully clothed, she was naked
- from the waist down, and open.
-
- The counter was just a bit more than waist high, and there was a
- barstool, conveniently just the right height for me to sit on.... "Lean
- back," I told her, "...its my turn to do something for you." Lowering my
- mouth down, I licked the inside of her thighs, then higher to her pussy,
- I opened her with my tongue. She was resting on her elbows, her legs
- apart and over my shoulders. Holding her open with my fingers, I found
- her little clitoris, standing, and licked there. And then, again, she
- began to murmur, and to moan.... Because of her position, and because it
- was broad daylight, the sun shining through the windows, she could see
- plainly my face buried in her groin, licking from anus to clit and back
- again. "My God, it's so exciting to watch what you're doing to me..."
- and with one hand she pressed me harder against her, squirmed on the
- counter, and came, and then I started again....
-
- We didn't get back to George's for about another hour, and when we did,
- it was Joan who smiled a knowing smile, and asked, sotto voce, "What
- kept you?" Late that afternoon, after dinner, they left, for the long
- trip back to Canada. But Elizabeth and I stayed the night, Easter Sunday
- night, and made love again that night, and again in the morning, before
- finally driving home. The schoolhouse itself seemed suffused with sexual-
- ity, and desire.
-
- What it was that happened that weekend I really cannot explain.
- Nothing seemed planned, it just happened, I thought.... And now, almost
- thirteen years later, Elizabeth and I have long since parted company as
- lovers, but are still friends. But writing this account of that in-
- credibly carnal weekend, and reading what I've written, I find that the
- memory still has a potency, and excites me. Perhaps I'll send a copy to
- Elizabeth, for auld lang syne....
-
- Paul and Joan never did become acclimatized to Toronto, and moved
- back to Ireland two years later, where Paul is a prominent, successful
- tax consultant, and quiet, retiring Joan, is the model wife, the mother
- of their two beautiful and perfectly groomed young children. They are
- socially prominent in a very strait-laced, almost puritanical society.
-
- Dubliners love to gossip. So I wonder what they would think if
- they knew what I later learned. You see, though I for long thought that
- that weekend had just happened, nothing could have been more remote from
- the truth. It had all been planned, orchestrated if you will, by an-
- gelic, innocent Joan.... And I also know that Elizabeth and I were not
- the first, or the last, to be so willingly seduced.... And Paul and Joan
- are still together, and she remains a modern Diana, a huntress, a goddess
- of wooded places....
