Erasure and Affirmation (Hypernaturals 11)

Any Combination

The dancing went on to pre-recorded music. People came and went from the Dance floor, but Lori stayed out there for the most part except to take breaks for Tamales and tequila.

Helen and I cut Lori out of the dancing and got her away from other Vampire's hearing. Becoming a habit.

"Lori. We have talked it over. The family agrees to it. If it is your desire to be with my Helen at any point in the future, we have one caveat. A new guideline." I said

"What's that?" Lori asked, intrigued.

"We are going to try and cut down on solo outings. The idea is that we feel for us that outside the marriage relationships are best shared with someone from the marriage. That means that you and Helen can get together, but not ONLY you and Helen. It can be any combination of you, Helen and I, or you, Helen, Danny, and I."

"That is two combinations." Lori said.

"Well, it's more than that in bed." Helen said.

"There is you and Helen. One observer. You and Helen. Two observers. Helen and Danny. You and I. Helen and I on you. Helen, Danny, and I on you. There is no Danny and I. I am always there, at least as an observer. Danny is or isn't depending on his comfort zone. He has never done anything like this." I pointed out. "At this point, and having nothing to do with you and everything to do with them, we don't see mixing in Jessica and Morgan just yet with you. Them and Danny? Different story. Danny has never done anything like that either so ... no rush. No pressure. No requirements of any kind."

"Like I have done group stuff?" Lori asked. "I talk a good game but... Wow. This is a lot."

"There are games and variations. I can eat Tamales off you if you like. Or you can eat them off Helen. If you prefer that over avocados or whipped cream of whatever. It's not purely about sex, but about play. Loving recreation. Including you two in what we do." I said.

"Or you can just say 'no'." Helen added. "No hurt feelings. I have wanted to be with you, and you with I since we met. We shall not be coy about that. This does not mean we have to act upon it. My restriction and this is new, is that I want all our extra-marital sexual escapades to be shared ones. As Adrian and I are with Angel. Not solo. This will not apply to Rachel or Holly. Vera and Angel are already a pair, and Angel already has been with three of us, so they are 'legacy' if you will. Going forward, we think for the health of our marriage, we need to do it this way. It is not about morals or judgment or fairness. Nothing of that sort. It is about sharing an experience."

Lori gave a half-smile. "I actually totally understand it. I am not against any of what you are saying. Ever since that day Adrian and you showed me the power of your scents, I have had fantasies about both of you on me. I just need to talk Danny into it. I will. Might take me some time, but I will."

"Assure him that if he should choose to enjoy sexual relations with me or you and I together, that I will not eat him. Much." Helen grinned in a downright evil way. That is the Helen I know.

"All I know is you better eat me." Lori told Helen in a mock-stern way.

"You may be assured that I will and that you shall know down to your toes you have been consumed. After you turn? I will also fang you. Everywhere." Helen said.

"Oh my god! Now I have to talk Danny into two things!" Lori said and headed off to find him.

"I wonder how long that is going to take." Helen pondered out loud.

"My guess? Less than two weeks." I said.

"That long?" Helen asked.

"Yeah. Danny can be stubborn that way. He has no chance against Lori. He'll cave. We need to go really slow the first time. Show him nothing about what they have together changes because of this. It opens up wider, is all. New possibilities. I don't think Danny will get lost in human moral garbage. He just needs to understand the additive nature of love. It's a skill set."

"Indeed, my love. Thank you for supporting me on this." Helen said.

Who the fuck is this woman?

"No problem. I like the idea. I like the sharing. I hope someday Vera and Angel are able to be part of it in a wider sense. I know you are not ready for that."

"No. I am not." Helen agreed. "As I said. I am evolving there. It is not that I do not see Vera's physical attractions. I do. In the same way that you taught me to have a different point of view about males, and male Vampires, in particular, I need to change how I feel about Sirens. Even as I know she no longer is one, by and large. There is also how I feel about your past with her. Not a jealousy, but some residual anger. The way in which she planned to trap you, for example. Her two-faced treatment of you. You have gotten past it because she has worked hard to not be that person anymore. I need to."

"When it is Angel, Vera, and I, I feel like I am being sent out alone. We call it legacy, and it is. Still: Angel, a ravenous Vampire SiroSuccubus, and me. I could use a backup. When Vera is feeling cuddly, it's fine, but when she is on fire? Holy shit. Maybe Kevin will show up. That would help. Three on One. Vera in the middle."

"Interesting. You don't need him on your list for that to work." Helen noted.

"Nope. The advantage of still being uninitiated into the beauty of bi-sexuality. Hey: You promised me that if I slept with you, I'd learn how to be bi-sexual." I complained.

"I did not say how long the transfer takes." Helen said. "What's the word... Osmosis? Yes. The more time you spend inside me, the sooner the essence of my bisexuality will ease itself into you. As far as you know. You need to be dedicated to the transfer. Willing to spend the time. It would be quicker if, after we made love one evening, we stayed coupled for the night. Wake up still conjoined. Then repeat the night's activities in the morning. A sort of lather-rinse-repeat operation of bisexuality transfer."

"Vampire biologist and lawyer." I accused.

Helen shrugged. "I am merely telling you what it takes."
