After pretending to examine all of the properties on the board, I lifted my head and looked at her as seriously as I could before telling her "Sorry, lady, I don't see any cathouses on the board" – which reduced Gina to almost hysterical laughter just ahead of Elisse doing the same. When she'd managed to stop laughing, Elisse pretended to be mad when she told me "Okay, fine, you win, you… you… man, you!" – which was all it took to get ME laughing, too.
As we were getting the game put away, we got started on what we wanted for supper. It didn't take us long to decide that pizza would be good. When the delivery person showed up, I was the only one fit (dressed enough) to pay for it. Once all of us had a cold beer handy, we dug in while still sitting on the floor and using the coffee table. As we were eating, Elisse told me "Jim, I know it had to surprise you when I came out here naked – but you didn't say or do anything. When Gina stayed with you the last time, I finally asked her about it, and she told me what happened, so I'm not surprised that you were able to be so nonchalant about seeing her. But even though both of us have been sitting here with you practically all evening, I haven't seen you staring or looking at us even once. I don't believe for a minute that you haven't looked, but you've been polite enough about it that I don't think either of us has noticed you doing it."
"I haven't", Gina told her, before Elisse went on "You got dressed again when we got back, but even after you saw that I was naked, and going to stay that way, and that Gina only had her panties on, you just stayed the way you are. I think most guys would have used US being naked – or almost, anyway – as an excuse to do the same thing. But you've stayed dressed, and you haven't said anything about us being like like this. I don't believe for a minute that it really doesn't matter to you, so I have to figure that you're just being… polite; that you're showing us that you aren't going to test or push us, like you promised. Gina and I talked about it while you were ordering the pizza, and we decided that if… if you didn't want to be dressed all the way like you are, it's okay with us."
I finished the last bite of pizza in my hand before answering "Yeah, I was keeping my promise about not pushing you. But there was something else that I was trying to do, too."
"What's that?", Gina wanted to know.
After hesitating for a moment, I told them "Both of you are very pretty, and physically attractive. As long as I'm dressed, I don't have to worry about anyone being bothered by any involuntary reaction I might have to you."
Both of them looked baffled at first; it was Elisse that realized what I was getting at first, and asked "You didn't want us to be surprised or offended in case you got an erection?" – the question cleared up Gina's confusion, once it was asked.
"Yeah, that's pretty much it", I replied.
The two of them looked at each other for several seconds before turning back to me. I was surprised when it was Gina that told me "Jim, both of us already know that that happens with guys… and that it's going to happen with you if you're going to help us start a family. If you get hard from looking at us like this… well, I guess it just means that you like what you see; I don't think that either one of us is going to be offended by it."
Smiling, Elisse told me "I'm certainly not! We've talked about it, and agreed that you're being an absolute dear about not doing anything to rush us. But I wish you HAD said something to us about this, though, so that we could have gotten this straightened out before now. If you get an erection, then you get an erection – sooner or later, we'd see you with one, anyway, don't you think? At least if we start seeing it happen now, we'll have a chance to get used to it! Besides, we both trust you, and know that you aren't going to try to do anything with us until we're ready. If we can open up to you like we are, won't you show us the courtesy of doing the same?"
I considered the question for a couple of seconds before asking "If you're okay with it, then that's all I need to hear. My only question is that there's only one pair of panties between the two of you – which way would you like me to be?"
They 'talked' to each other with their eyes again, and I got my answer when Gina calmly stood up and slid her panties off, leaving her as naked as Elisse. Following Gina's example, I simply stood up and shed myself of what I had on. Setting my stuff off to the side and out of the way, I calmly sat down again – feigning not to notice that both of them had been checking me out. It took a couple of tries, but we finally got started talking again, just as we had been. Between the three of us, we managed to take care of the pizza, except for a few bits of meat that the two of them set aside to give to Demosthenes. He'd waited patiently under the coffee table while we were eating, and was ready and waiting when they started offering him tidbits. His attention lasted only as long as the food, however.
Gina offered to deal with the pizza carcass; when she got back, Elisse suggested that it would be nice to just sit back and relax for a little while. Gina and I agreed, and after I got my music system set up with several CDs, the three of us got ourselves comfortable on the couch – me in the middle, with them tucked into my sides. Each pulled my arm around her so that my hand was resting on her belly. As we sat there listening to the music (they were more than agreeable to my suggestion of some Bach and Beethoven and Mozart), I slowly and casually caressed the soft, smooth skin under my hands. After a bit, I simply had to ask "What was it that got you two to come out here the way you did after we got back from the pool? You've got to admit that it was quite a jump from how things went when I was at your house last time…"
Several seconds passed before Elisse told me "When I put your hand on my boob, all you did was just hold it there; even after I let you know that it was okay to touch it more, you still didn't do hardly anything until I moved it inside my shirt. I just figured that if I was going to get you to do anything more with me, I was pretty much have to hit you over the head with it. Besides, I wanted to start finding out about you, too, and I expected that if I just came out here naked, that would get things started. What I didn't expect was that you'd be SO damn polite about it!", with a small laugh.
A moment later, Gina said "After I told Lis about letting you look at me, and even touch me a little bit, I realized that I was actually okay with all of it – that I wasn't nervous or afraid about it any more. She told me that she was thinking about maybe moving things with you and her a little faster, so when I saw that she wasn't going to get dressed again after she cleaned up from the pool, I figured I'd let you know that I was okay with you, too – at least, as far as we went, before. So all I did was put my panties on before I came out here. I didn't think you'd be as nice about us as you were, either. When Lis and I were talking, I realized that I should start getting used to YOU, too; so when you asked whether you should keep your underwear or not, I decided that getting all of us naked was a good start. Lis already knows a lot more about guys – I mean your penis, and it getting hard, and how it feels and looks and everything – than I do; I've seen naked guys and penises before and all that, but not the way Elisse has. Sitting with you like this is as close as I've ever been to actually being with a guy."
