Epilogue

Laurie

"Baby?" Nick called as he came in the door from work. "I got it"

"Got what Nick?"I asked, wiping my hands on a dishtowel, emerging from the kitchen.

"The divorce papers from Jen and Joe," he said. Jen and Joe came in behind him.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Well, I don't think I like the way we all ended things." Jen started. 

"Yes I fell in love with Joe and you with Nick, but I miss my friend. Do you think we can still be friends? Joe told me that even though you loved Nick you were willing to go through with Joe's demands to protect me. Only a true friend would do that. You could have easily gone straight to Nick and tried to break us up."

"I promised you once that I would never do that, and I meant it."

"I know that. Friends?" I looked over at Nick for his approval.

"Jen and I made our peace with this Laurie, it's fine, love." Nick cracked 1/2 a smile.

Joe came over to me.

 "Laur, we have been best friends for so long it just seems so wrong to end it like this. I know I hurt you, bad Laur, but we've always had each other's backs since we were little. I need you in my life. Please give me another chance." Joe was practically begging and I could see the sincerity in his eyes. I squeezed Jen's hand and looked back at Nick.

"Up to you babe. You do not need my permission."

"I forgive you, Joe. I love you, bro. I never could hold a grudge with you." I was somewhat relieved. This gap between him and me was hurting me.

"Oh thank God, I was so afraid." Joe held me tighter and kissed me on the cheek. Joe went over to Nick and held out his hand, "Truce dude?" Before Nick would shake Joe's hand, he had a few words.

"It's no secret that I have had ill feelings toward you, but you hurt 2 women I happen to care deeply about. I am not an unreasonable man. If the girls here are willing to give you another shot than I guess I can too man." They shook hands.

"Take good care of Jen, Joe, she is a special woman." Nick looked at Jen with care and concern, as he walked over to me and held me close to him.

"I know Nick. I promise I will. You need to promise me that Laurie will want for nothing and be protected."

"Always Joseph, you have my word." Jen and I looked at each other smiling. We had a weird, strange dynamic, the 4 of us, but we were all intertwined in ways that that could never be overlooked. We would always all be a part of each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nick and Jen had a very long conversation for weeks almost..... They were beyond happy with their choice of a divorce... Jen too content with being in love with Joe... Nick head over heels in love with Laurie..... and vice versa... Jen became a sub for Joe... and Joe was willing to submit to Jen at times, Nick of course staying dominant, and Laurie succumbing to his every whim. But the best part in all this.. the couples were finally with people who they could share EVERYTHING... their fantasies... her hearts... their passions...

To remind everyone of the biggest rule in the entire process is to never fall in love with your Dom or your Sub... Sure, everyone says it's remembering your safe word, but falling in love with the wrong person is always a wrong thing to do... But with these couples, things were just finally beginning for them... their lives... Had just started..... But that... is a whole other story altogether...

It was an incredible story guys, part two coming in a couple of months maybe? for now, enjoy my others. I know the last chapter was super long, but the POV switches were so frequent I wanted to make up for it with a nice long chapter :)
