Daphne In The Thruple (Lesbian Remix)

Chapter 18: Just a Secret or Two

Daphne immediately recoiled from her own statement. She thought, "Oh fuck, oh fuck, I'm in trouble now. She'll dump me because of James! What do I do—"

"Me too Daph..."

Daphne turned her head towards Claire, still lying flat on the bed. "I love you more than James. Way more! I love you so much more than anyone I've ever known! I realized yesterday that I was in love with Nora in high school, but denied it because I was expected to like men."

Daphne was shaking. "Ya-you aren't going to leave me?" Claire smiled, a tear rolled down her cheek onto the bed. "No Daphne, I'll never leave you. This is real. I think I loved you the moment we met. This is just the realization. We will always stay together." They kissed passionately for several minutes.

As both were sexually satisfied, it didn't need to go further that night. They laid in bed staring at each other for some time. Neither smile could be diminished no matter how long the couple gazed into each other's eyes. Only happy laughter from Daphne broke their gaze.

"So now what?", she asked.

"I don't know Daph." The two women got out of bed and put on pajamas. They kissed and stood near the foot of the bed while running their fingers around each other's waist. Claire's face turned from a happy smile to seriousness.

"Daph, how much do you care about James?"

Daphne grabbed Claire's hands and held them near her chest. "I care about him, but I don't think I actually love him in any romantic way. At first it was an exciting experience, but it evolved into less about him and more about you."

Claire gave a reluctant smile and grabbed Daphne's hands tighter. "What if I told you he's not the man you thought he was, that maybe he wasn't as committed as you would hope?" Daphne tilted her head slightly, her mouth dropped open waiting to hear what was coming.

"James once cheated on me shortly after we got married. It was with a coworker named Cindy. James admitted to it after she got promoted to a position in Seattle. He said it was an attraction he didn't understand and they found themselves making out on a few occasions that led to them fucking right before she moved."

Daphne stood there looking for more, her grip on Claire's hands shifted to the fingers, but tighter as she listened intently to Claire. "He was feeling guilty about it and told me the day after Cindy flew to Seattle. I was distraught for a few days, but forgave him. He assured me that because she was gone, that nothing would or could happen.

I accepted that because the marriage was new and I didn't want to ruin things so soon." Daphne interrupted, "But he was the one ruining it!" Claire pulled on her hands and replied, "I know Daph. I know, but I just wanted it to work...and it did. That's also why I figured he'd be okay with you. So there was a plus to it."

Daphne smiled but looked away from Claire and down towards the bed. They sat down on the edge and Claire continued, "He's easy and sex is mostly what he's about. We had been having less sex for some time — perhaps because my true feelings were coming to the surface, but then you moved in next door. You may have saved our marriage in a way.

I mean, temporarily. It just extended things. But you know the thing with Cindy. I did believe it was the only problem I've had with James as far as cheating goes, but you recall where I said she went." Daphne paused to think, "Yeah, Seattle... that's where that meeting was! Claire he didn't?..."

"I did worry about it Daph... but, I thought in the back of my mind that I almost wanted him to cheat. I didn't want to worry you, so I said nothing. I asked him by text one day if Cindy was there, knowing she was. He replied, 'Uh yeah' and that was it. That worried me more. He blew off something we both knew was a big deal.
