Chapter Seven

By the end of the business day, Morris hung up the phone and grinned at Lynne. They had contacted the insurance company, placed rush orders for new mirrors and floors, and set up an appointment for new window installation. “We’ve done it.”

She smiled back. “Was there ever any doubt?”

“I think Taletha was worried that it wouldn’t all come together without her running the show.”

“Hopefully, she’ll never doubt our abilities again.”

“After this, I don’t think she will. Are you sure you’re okay with staying to wait for the window installation?”

“It’s not like I have anything else to do. I mean, it’s a work day, so my only plans were to come here. I’m usually here until at least eight o’clock anyway.”

“Okay, if you insist. Thanks so much for your hard work today. I know that Taletha will appreciate it.” He turned to go.

“Can I ask what’s going on between the three of you?”

Morris jumped. “Excuse me?”

“Something is going on between the three of you. I mean, everyone on staff saw the three of you making out at The Copa. I asked Taletha about it when she came back to the club, but you know she’s not really the type to give details.”

Morris chuckled. “No, she’s really not.”

“I know it’s not necessarily any of my business, but you’re my friend as much as she is, and I just wanted to see how everything was going.”

Morris hesitated for a moment. But he and Lynne had developed a friendship from the moment he’d started teaching at the studio. He could trust her to be discreet and give him good advice.

“So far, this has been both the most surprising and amazing experience of my life. It’s completely changed my outlook on love. I’d never really pictured myself sharing a woman. I mean, I guess I fantasized about casual threesomes from time to time, but I never envisioned that kind of scenario with someone I loved.”

“I know how long you’ve wanted Taletha.”

“I more than enjoyed it. Sharing Taletha showed me that I don’t need to have her all to myself to be happy. Today is a perfect example of that. She had two men to take care of her when she needed help. I mean, you were great too, but”

Lynne nodded and smiled. “I understand. Go on.”

 
“Having a threesome with Taletha and Adam just felt so right. It was the most perfect sexual encounter of my life. I don’t want to fight with Adam over Taletha. I want us to date her together. If you’d asked me even a week ago if I’d ever feel that way, I would have said you were crazy, but now that I’ve had a taste of it, I can’t imagine going back.”

“So what happens now?”

Morris shrugged. “I don’t exactly know.”

“What do you want to have happen?”

“I want more. I want to keep sharing Taletha with Adam. I want us to move in together. I still want all the things I wanted with Taletha before. I just also want Adam to be a part of the picture.”

“In that case, I think you should really go home and spend some time with them. Seriously, go. You’ve done enough today, and you deserve a break.”

“I just—I just can’t shake the feeling that this could all fall apart. Maybe Taletha doesn’t want those same things.”

“Well, you’ll never know the answer if you hide out at the studio. Go to her. Talk to her. Talk to Adam, too. And if she doesn’t want the same things that you do, you’ll recover. I know you will.”

Morris nodded. “You’re right. Thanks, Lynne.”

“That’s what I’m here for. Answering phones and providing relationship advice.”

“Don’t work too late. Call my cell if you have any problems.”

“You got it.”

Morris called Taletha on his way out the door. “How are you feeling?”

“Great. Adam and I have just been hanging out, mostly napping. You want to come over and join us?”

“That sounds great. I’ll see you in a few minutes.”

As he drove through the neighborhood to Taletha’s apartment complex, Morris tried to let the hurt and frustration he was feeling slip away.
Lynne is right. I need to give Taletha the benefit of the doubt until I’ve actually talked to her.
He repeated those lines to himself until he pulled up in the parking lot and opened the door to her apartment.

“We’re in bed,” Taletha called, her voice still drowsy with sleep.

Morris made his way into the bedroom. Although he wanted to feel joy at the sight of the two of them curled up around each other, he was still worried that Taletha didn’t feel the same way about him that he did about her. He wasn’t going to feel secure until he had more proof that Taletha didn’t think this was just a fling.

 
“Everything at the studio has been taken care of. The new windows will be installed tonight, and the main studio will have new floors before the start of group classes tomorrow night.”

Taletha grinned. “That’s amazing. I can’t believe how much the two of you accomplished. What about the installation, though? That’s going to mess with logistics for private lessons and rehearsals.

“We can put the private lessons in the secondary studio while they’re being installed. The mirrors will be delivered no later than Thursday, and we can take care of the installation over the weekend.”

“You’re fantastic,” Taletha said. “I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

Morris tried to smile, but it didn’t come out right as he pondered all of the other doubts in her mind. He wasn’t exactly sure what he was looking for, but he also knew he hadn’t found it yet.

“Anyway,” Adam said, as he extricated himself from their tangle of arms and legs, “since we’re all hungry, why don’t I run out and get us some food?”

“No, don’t go,” Taletha said.

Adam grinned. “I got you all to myself this afternoon. It’s only fair that Morris gets some quality time with you, too. And we do need to eat. Any food requests?”

“Surprise us.”

“You got it.” Adam gave Taletha a deep kiss and hurried into his clothes.

“Is he acting odd to you?” Morris asked, settling down on the bed.

“Hunger does strange things to a man.”

“I suppose that’s true.”

“Don’t you want to undress?” Taletha asked, easing her hands under his shirt. “Look, Adam never even got around to taking off my tank top. We need to be naked. Unless, of course, you’re into fucking with your clothes on”

“I don’t really want to have sex, actually.” He removed her hands and settled them down on the bed.

“Long day?”

“You could say that, yeah.”

“Okay, cut the crap. Tell me what’s wrong.”

“Nothing is wrong.”

“Something is wrong, and we’re going to talk about it, or I’m going to send you home without any dinner.”

As much as it frustrated him when Taletha made jokes when he was trying to be serious, Morris couldn’t help but admit that her grin wore him down. “I was talking to Lynne today. She asked what was going on between the three of us. As happy as it made me to be able to tell someone about the great time we’ve had, it made me worried, too.”

Taletha raised an eyebrow. “Why are you nervous?”

Morris started to stand up and began pacing around the room.

“I’m—I’m just scared you don’t feel about me the way I feel about you.”

“I guess there’s no way to find out until you tell me how you feel about me.”

“This isn’t a fling for me, Taletha. That is, I don’t want it to be. I want this to be the start of something amazing. I want Adam and I to share you. I want the three of us to make a home together. I want us to be happy together, and if I had my way, this would last forever.”

Taletha smiled. “I’ve spent years rejecting your advances. I know I’ve been skittish for the last couple of days. But even though I’ve been keeping you both at an arm’s length, I never really wanted that. I was just doing what I thought was best. Last night changed my mind, though. That was amazing, and I can’t wait to do it again. And I hope we keep it up for a long time.”

Morris felt a smile tugging at his lips. “Really?”

“Really.”

He sat back down on the bed, taking her into his arms. “I love you, Taletha.”

Morris’s heart skipped a beat as he realized what he had said. He hadn’t anticipated making such a confession. He’d held back his feelings for so many years, he’d been certain he could wait a little longer, until he was sure that Taletha loved him back. But there the words were, hanging in the air.

Taletha snuggled herself deeper into his chest. “I love you too, Morris.”

His heart stopped again. He never imagined he’d hear her say those words to him. He never believed that she’d return the feelings he’d been harboring for her for half a decade. Morris reached down and dotted her neck with kisses, enjoying the soft moans she made as his lips pressed into her smooth skin. He reached under her tank top to cup her breasts, enjoying the weight of them in his palms. Taletha pulled back and pulled off her tank top, giving him a view of their perfect, pert roundness. Reaching his head down, he brought his teeth to her nipple, feeling it stiffen as he nibbled.

“Goddamn, baby, that feels so good,” Taletha moaned.

She reached out and stroked his cock, which was already threatening to burst out from his pants. She unzipped him to relieve some of the pressure, and slid her hand into his fly, teasing the shaft with her fingertips. As a reward, he bit the other nipple, and felt how she shuddered with pleasure. Taletha unbuttoned his shirt, placing kisses across his chest as she pulled it off of him.

“Play with my cock again, please.”

Taletha shook her head. “I want you to fuck me.”

“No teasing?”

“The two of you can tease me together later. Right now I just want you inside me.”

Taletha rolled over on her back, pulling Morris down on top of her. He struggled to get completely free of his pants, then slid himself into her, groaning as her cunt enveloped his aching cock. She hooked her legs up around his waist, driving him even deeper into her. Before he could even move, she started working her legs back and forth, thrusting him in and out of her.

She squeezed her legs even tighter, ramming him harder into her slick pussy. Morris had no choice but to follow the rhythm she set, gliding in and out of her cunt slowly, then gradually faster and harder, as she squeezed him even tighter and thrust with all of her strength. He cupped her face in his hands, loving the way her hair felt in his fingers, the way she smiled and kissed each of his palms, never once ceasing her frantic movement.

Morris felt the orgasm building in his body and knew he wasn’t going to be able to last much longer.

“You about to come?” Taletha asked.

“Y–Yeah.”

“Not until I say so.”

Morris gasped. “What?”

“Not until I say so.”

“I can’t–I can’t hold off much longer. I’m losing control.”

“You can come on the count of ten.”

“I’m ready now.”

“On the count of ten, or else. One.”

Morris fought the impending orgasm back into his body.
