Matthew Chase didnt remember if there was ever a moment when he knew he would never get married, have kids, the "normal life" people supposedly pursued. He only thought about the next deal, how it could get done, and how it could make him rich, and how it could lead him to the next deal, and how THAT deal could make him richer. Such a singular focus did make him rich and successful, but it also pushed the wife/kids/dog/house thing further out of view until it pretty much fell of the edge of what was possible.

Did it bother him? Not really. That's the fact that convinced him that he was living the life he had chosen. He enjoyed his life. The hours were long, the travel cold be a pain in the ass, and the clients could be more so, but when the day was done, Matt felt as though he was where he should be. Not that he was lonely. Far from it. The lack of monogamy in his life was yet but another benefit he enjoyed. Most of the women in his life passed through like spring breezes, getting what they wanted from him while he took what he wanted from them. A strict barter business transaction.

One woman did manage to be the exception to that rule. Barbara Palmer had been a friend of Matt's for nearly 30 years. She at one time or another had made similar life choices, marrying once, but ending that when it became clear that business came first. Matt and Barbara kept each other company when the situation called for it. No strings attached, of course. The pleasures of the flesh even helped to further their business dealings, with potential clients sometimes invited into the procedings. Some of Matt's most vivid memories were of Barbara, her legs spread, accepting his thrusts while simultaneously sucking a client's cock. Shortly after, the client would sign on the proverbial dotted line, and Matt and Barbara would have a story to tell.

Most of this was in the past, however, and Matt wasn't getting any younger. At 51, Matt wasnt foolish enough to think his peak sexual prowess was ahead of him. As Barbara sat across from him at lunch, his eyes wondered toward a young couple. Mid 20s, coworkers, Matt could tell. And sexually involved with each other. Matt could tell that, too. Matt wondered. Were these two young people headed down the same road that he and Barbara had selected? If so, did they know the price they would pay? AND, were they going about it in a way to maximize the benefits?

Matt's eyes darted to the young couple, and he smiled before retuning his attention to Barbara.

"Do those two there remind you of us? I wonder if we went over to them and told them about what we've been up to for the last 30 years, if they would ask for advice, or laugh and tell us to get lost."

 

[fsa52]

Barbara Palmer sat across from probably her best friend, Matt Chase, in their favorite bistro. They had been friends for about 30 years, and lovers nearly that long. She'd met him soon after her disastrous marriage went by the wayside. He'd been a handsome 22 year old fresh out of college and she'd been the 27 year old 'experienced' one at the office. They'd hit it off famously and had gone on to be great friends, great lovers, and great partners in the now extremely successful business they'd started.
A lot of water under that bridge she thought as she looked at his salt and pepper hair and the still handsome face. He'd weathered the aging process a bit better than she, though she was always told that she looked good "for her age". She'd done her best to keep her figure sharp, but the little lines in her face overshadowed her sleek shape, she felt. She had plenty of money to do the botox or plastic surgery thing, but decided neither was for her. Though her bosom sagged a bit and required the best underwired bras money could buy, they were all hers and she'd keep them the way they were.
Her wandering mind came back on point as she heard Matt mention something about the young couple across the room. She followed his gaze and saw them; young, obviously involved by the way they looked at one another. She smiled at Matt, "Thinking about us 30 yrs ago, my dear?"

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

Matt smiled, or at least intended to. It came off more like a smirk. "Yes, I am, dear, but that's par for the course. I'm ALWAYS thinking about us 30 years ago!" His glance returned to the young couple. "I wonder...have they given up on the idea of marriage, parenthood, neighborhood associations, membership in the PTA, vacations at Disneyland and Disneyworld.....maybe one or both of them still hold out hope for it. And I'll admit, I'm not exactly world class when it comes to reading people. I don't see any rings on fingers, but these days, that doesn't meant there's not something that passes for commitment between them....."

The waiter came and Matt took care of the lunch bill, exchanging the normal pleasantries as the transaction was completed. Barbara gathered her purse as she listened to Matt, glancing over at the couple as Matt spun his tale. Matt had been looking towards the young couple as he spoke, trying to be discreet about it and not drawing much in the way of attention. When Barbara began to look their way, however, Matt noticed what seemed to be a switch coming on in the young man's head. And in this instance, Matt knew how the rest of this scenario would play out, and it all depended on the reaction from his companion.

Surely the young lady would notice the young man's glance towards Barbara. Would she be angry? Maybe become instantly disgusted with him, pick up a glass of water, throw it in his face, and storm out, providing Matt and Barbara with an afternoon's worth of entertainment. Or, maybe she would only be slightly annoyed, deciding instead to torture the young man for the next hours or days, treating him coldly but not tipping her hand as to why.
Then, there was the third option, the most intriguing possibility. The young man's attention toward Barbara could actually please the young lady, if not at least intrigue her. Matt seemed to stop in his place, almost staring at the couple and waiting for the result. Barbara continued to be amused by his silliness, but she was also aware of the young man's admiring glance. Matt smiled as he saw this, loving the dynamic of the entire unspoken comedy/drama/suspense playing out in front of him, enjoying its progress and becoming impatient waiting for the outcome.

The rest of the afternoon, and perhaps the next weeks and months, came into focus when the young lady looked at her lunch mate and laughed, glancing over toward Barbara and appearing to tease him. As most men do, the young man appeared to deny any attention at all toward Barbara, but this only made the young woman laugh more. Matt could actually hear her say something to the effect that it was ok, Barbara was attractive, and she understood why he looked. All the while, the young lady laughed, enjoying the moment as much as Matt. The young man looked over again and shot another smile towards Barbara. It was only then that Matt and the young lady made eye contact.

"If your afternoon isn't too busy, how about we head over to one of the company guest condos,” Matt said to Barbara with an understated sense of forthcoming adventure. The company maintained several condominium units for visiting clients, and it wasn't unusual for staff to occupy them on a short term basis now and then. "I think that young man would like to get to you better in the short term, and in the long term, I'd like to see what sort of plans these two young people have for themselves. Maybe we can all do some business together."

 

[fsa52]

Barbara listened intently to Matt's musings on the young couple. She also thought about all the things she'd given up to be where she was today and even more importantly, to still have Matt. She really wondered if she might have enjoyed the white picket fence and the 2.3 children scene, but she knew Matt would never have agreed to that and above all the other trappings, she wanted the money and Matt as her life. That's why she'd done what she had to do 18 years ago; one of the very few things in her life that Matt did not know about. He still believed that those 2 weeks in March were spent tending to her ill father 500 miles away.

So here she was, having more than enough money, lots of prestige in the business world community with the man she loved and imagining the twenty something couple across the room as she and Matt had been years ago. She watched the couple and noticed when the young man caught her looking. He kept the gaze even as she turned hers to Matt, who she knew had seen the look. He was smirking as he continued his comments on the couple. Watching him, she saw his face light up and after all these years she knew that meant he had formulated some sort of ingenious plan. She'd seen that look in both their business and their personal life and it had always brought forth a bounty of some sort, be it oodles of money or oodles of sex. Either had always been more than delightful to her! As he spoke, she realized that this time he was proposing a plan for their personal life, so she turned her eyes once again to the couple taking in their youth, their energy and their unbelievable good looks. Matt had always been fantastic at convincing everyone to follow his plan of action and if he indeed accomplished this, it would be a sensual trip down memory lane.

She looked back to her longtime love and business partner, smiled broadly saying. What a wonderfully wicked mind you have, my love! There is nothing on my calendar that can't be put off until this new deal of yours has been totally brought to completion." She couldn't help running her tongue over her lips as the thought of the fun to come played out in her mind.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

It turned out there names were Chad and Callista, and like two quality professionals, they treated Matt and Barbara with a cautious good nature when they walked over and introduced themselves. It turned out they both worked for a real estate management company in the third floor of the same building where Matt and Barbara worked. Matt knew a few of the principals of that firm and dropped some names as he mainly chatted with Chad. Barbara and Callista smiled as they chatted, but the four of them seemed to be drawn into a cohesive single group when Matt told Chad and Callista's waiter to bring their lunch check to him.

Chad and Callista didn't know what to make of this suddenly-appearing older couple, with thier instant generosity. Matt could sense their trepidation, but he did his best to appear non-threatening. Inviting them to the company condo was something he thought might scare them away, but he couched his request in company terms, expressing pride in his company's ability and willingness to provide such a luxury to their clients and employees. Going to the condo, for Chad and Callista, was a business trip, and they agreed to come along with Matt and Barbara.

Once in the condo, the atmosphere was easy and comfortable. the younger two asked about the condo's amenities, commented on the view of the downtown waterfront, and expressed an overall satisfaction with selecting a lifestyle where such perks were possible. Drinks were made and poured and the four relaxed for smiles and conversation. Matt smiled and laughed inwardly as Chad glanced strategically at Barbara, looking at her legs and the just-right amount of cleavage she was displaying. Callista looked similarly comfortable, her posture relaxed yet professional, sipping her drink and engaging the other three in light conversation. An impressive couple, Matt thought.

"So, if I'm not being too intrusive, may I ask, are you two a couple in the personal sense as well as the professional sense?"

Chad and Callista smiled and glanced at each other, their slight hesitancy in answering bring a laugh from each of them.

"Well....." said Chad, looking at Callista, who laughed a bit more. "It's complicated."

Matt and Barbara glanced at each other, understanding fully. "Actually, no it's not" said Matt with a reassuring tone. "People like us, we fit personal lives into our business lives. Barbara and I understand completely. That's why we invited you here, we knew that as soon as we saw you in the restaurant."

"So, you two are....involved?" Callista asked. "At least to some level."

"Yes," said Barbara, "and that level seems to be fluid based on the workloads and deadlines!" Her joke drew sincere laughter from the other three, laughter that came from familiarity.

"It’s a good feeling knowing you can rely on someone to be there for you, someone who understands that business calls for a total commitment of your time." Matt looked at Barbara as he continued. "Barbara is a great partner, both in the office and in bed."

He purposely said it. He was looking for a reaction. Were the two youngsters shocked? It didn’t appear so.

"You're a lucky man, then" said Callista. She glanced at Chad. "Chad is equally adept at completing the task at hand, personal AND business."

"Seeing you two in the restaurant reminded Barbara and I of ourselves many years ago" Matt said, leaning forward. "If you two have some free time this afternoon, we were hoping you could give us a trip down memory lane."

 

[fsa52]

Barbara watched the young couple's faces as Matt spoke. She noticed an exchange of looks between the two. Matt had been an excellent teacher and she could now read faces nearly as well as he and their faces showed a spark of interest with a twinge of desire.
Barbara could feel that same spark and twinge growing inside of her at the thought of what could be in all of their futures.

As Matt finished speaking, Barbara waited a minute and then spoke. "We realize that what we're suggesting is a bit surprising as we've just met, so Matt and I will give you some time to discuss the proposition and the endless possibilities for some rather entertaining fun. We'll excuse ourselves to the kitchen now and leave the two of you alone. If you have any questions, just let us know and we'll be more than glad to come back in and clarify things."

With that she grabbed Matt's arm and walked off to the kitchen. The silence in the kitchen was a bit deafening; she sensed that Matt was a bitt miffed at her for taking the lead and ushering him out of the room, but he said nothing. To keep busy Barbara checked out the food supplies in both the refrigerator and the cabinets and knew that she could whip up something quite delicious for the dinner hour, if they were all still here then.

She then walked towards the small kitchen table where Matt sat, thinking of sitting across from him, but instead walked behind him, leaning over him, her breasts against his head as she put her hand on his shoulder and kissed his head. "And just what do you, in all your infinite wisdom of human sexuality, think that their decision will be, my love?"

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

Barbara's breasts against Matt's head and the young couple getting comfortable in the living room allowed Matt one of those instances of appreciation for the good moments, those that came about because of the good people he was lucky enough to know, and hoped to get to know. Closing his eyes, reaching his arms back around himself to take Barbara in an embrace, Matt gave a mental nod to his good fortune.

"Well, my guess is we have NOT "creeped them out" or scared them half to death, judging from the fact I haven't heard them running out and slamming the door behind them. If we walk back in there, what do you think we'll see? Two undressed young people heating things up for an afternoon of pleasure, or two scared kids sitting sheepishly and smiling politely or nervously?

Matt stood up and turned toward Barbara, moving toward her to embrace her. "i seem to remember being in a similar situation with a certain young executive by the name of Barbara, more than once. Remember that one cocktail party in Manhattan, where we showed up and a third of the people were walking around either half or completely nude? Matt put his arm around Barbara's waist and turned them both toward the living room, leading her back to Chad and Callista. "The main thing I remember about that night was the look on your face. The initial shock...then the look of belonging."

As Matt finished his reminiscence, he and Barbara walked back into the living room, greeted by the sight of Chad wearing only his boxers and Callista in her bra and panties. They were standing at that particular moment, ending a kiss and turning toward Matt and Barbara.

"We were hoping you two were coming back," said Callista. "Chad and I assume you are taking us under your wing, sort of as your protégé’s? Well..." she paused to reach behind her back and unhook her bra, letting her breasts fall free..."we hope we don't disappoint you." She smiled as the other three people in the room watched her shimmy off her panties, turned to Chad and dropped to her knees. She attentively lowered his boxers, took his hard cock in her hand, and seductively moved her mouth to the swollen head.

Hand in hand, Matt and Barbara took a seat on the couch, a front row view of the erotic show. The heat built slow and steady as Chad moaned and ran his fingers through Callista's hair.

 

[fsa52]

Barbara smiled as Matt reminisced about that first Manhattan meeting. It had been a shock that quickly turned into such erotically good fun, as she was hoping this meeting would be also. As they walked into the living room, seeing Chad and Callista virtually naked, she thought about how Matt always got it so right! As Callista bared her very perky 20-something breasts a twinge of jealousy crawled over her, quickly replaced by arousal as she and Matt seated themselves for the obvious floorshow that was underway.

Callista's mouth was now fully engaged in sucking down Chad's cock. As she slid it in and out of her mouth Barbara eyed it intensely. It was a hair's breath larger than Matt's had hardened to at that age, though now Matt's didn't reach that deliciously suckable size. She could feel herself developing a definite interest in exploring more of it, if given the opportunity. Callista knew how to get the most out of Chad, Barbara thought. This is most assuridly not the first time that Callista's saliva had covered Chad's mouthwatering penis. Chad's moans drew Barbara's eyes upward to his handsome face now contorted in passion, eyes closed, head thrown back and mouth uttering jibberish sounds. Her arousal grew watching the two lovelies perform, she moved her body closer to Matt, pressing her breasts against his left arm. Feeling her warmth, Matt moved his arm around her shoulder bringing her close without ever taking his eyes off the young version of themselves.

Chad's moans increased as Callista's hands had now moved from his cock to his balls, running her fingertips over them gingerly. Chad's hand had tightened in her hair and was holding her head in place while he fucked her mouth vigorously.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

Strangely, Matt's thoughts drifted to his calendar, any meetings he may have had for that afternoon, and if they could be missed or rescheduled. Matt WOULD miss those meetings, because he WASN'T going to miss what was transpiring in front of him. As Barbara nuzzled next to him, and Chad and Callista continued with their oral sex demonstration, Matt congradulated himself. The afternoon's festivities were no different than a successful business deal; it took the right opportunity, the right people, the right place, and the right time.

All came together with good fortune, good luck, some providence, and some ingenuity. Nothing made Matt happier than seeing that Barbara was enjoying the show, enjoying it greatly judging from her expression and the manner in which she shifted on the couch. As Matt turned his attention to Chad and Callista, he reached that point that all business people enjoy, the place in time where a success was to be savored. Anything that happened from this point on was proverbial icing on the cake. He tightened his arm hold on Barbara's shoulder as they relaxed together.

Chad and Callista had obviously been in similar situations before. They looked too comfortable for it to be otherwise. The intensity they generated was increasing many time over, Callista making a comination of moaning and slurping noises as Chad worked her mouth. His moans became grunts before long, and Matt knew Chad's comfort with the situation would be complete before long and he would be cumming soon.

"He's gonna BLOOOOOOWWWWW" Matt said in Barbara's ear, causing a giggle in response. "Where is he gonna put it? Is it going in her mouth, on her face, or somewhere else?"

Barbara's response was a quick and friendly "SHUSH" and a tap on Matt's knee. As Chad and Callista continued, Matt took the trip back in his mind that he had planned all along. How many times had he and Barbara enjoyed a similar encounter, with friends gathered around, either watching or engaged in their own pleasure? To many to count, but he had to admit, such encounters were now fewer, with a growing amoutn of time between them.

Watching Callistas's beautiful face, her mouth tight around Chad's thrusting cock..It soured Matt to admit that Chad had achieved a level of hardness Matt hadnt experienced in years, and probably never would again, blue pills or not. But now was not the time to dwell on negativity. Living vicariously through these two new young friends was something to enjoy. And Matt would enjoy it, with Barbara by his side.

Chad's eyes slammed shut and his head whipped backward...he had lost his last bit of control. Matt pulled Barbara tighter as the two old friends watched.

"I get the feeling this won't be the last time we see an orgasm from these two," he said to Barbara, loud enough for Chad and Callista to hear.

 

[fsa52]

Barbara's attention left Matt and turned back to centerstage. Chad and Callista seemed oblivious to the other couple in the room as they clung to one another, kissing deeply sharing the deliciousness of Chad's cum. As Barbara and Matt watched, the couple slowly slid down onto the couch, with Callista under Chad. The kissing action intensified as did the movement of Chad's hands; they roamed the familiar territory of Callista's body, lighting on every spot that aroused her being.

Barabara watched them with a passion she had forgotten she owned. Lately the sex with Matt, though still good, lacked the intense heat it once had. She wasn't sure if it was age, familiarity, or a lack of nterest. In the back of her mind, she not only lusted for this couple, she lusted for a new found passion in her relationship with Matt. Though this afternoon had not been her idea, she embraced it, hoping it would lead to her ultimate desire!

Her eyes feasted on the action, Chad slowly kissing his way down Callista's long lean body as she mewed her desire which very obviously kept Chad's arousal increasing. his kisses trailed down her body until it reached her very closely cropped mound. His hands followed his mouth south and began to gingerly swirl little patterns along each of her hips. Her body, writhing with the ministrations from his mouth and hands, was intense pleasure..

Barbara herself felt the excitement of Matt's and her voyeurism. Looking down to Matt's lap she happily found that it was creating the same excitement in him. Noting this she slid her right hand from her lap over to Matt's upper thigh, massaging it gently. A smile crept over his face though his eyes never left the entertaining couple in front of them. Taking his smile as her cue, Barbara's hand reached for the ever enlarging buge in his suit pants. As she massaged Matt, they both watched as Chad's mouth had finally reached his supreme goal, Calliata's glistening pussy.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

As Chad's mouth found a home at Callista's pussy, she closed her eyes and leaned her head back on the couch. Her sounds of pleasure filled the room, and it was certain that both she and Chad were completedly comfortable with the environment and all that was transpiring. That pleased Matt, he wanted them to be comfortable, but mainly Chad and Callista's loss of thier innihibitions pleased Barbara. Matt could see that in her face, the building intensity reflected in her beautiful smile.

Barbara's hand moved to Matt's lap and she massaged his growing cock, allowing the intensity to build that much more. It felt good, what Barbara was doing, it always did, but as Callista's moans continued to fill the living room, Matt could see that Chad was growing as well, despite having cum maybe ten minutes earlier. The power of youth on display. Matt remembered it, and thankfully Barbara had been with him along the way. As Chad brought Callista to orgasm, he moved up on the couch on to his knees. Callista arched her back, turning her head from side to side and screamed out Chad's name.

Although they were across the room, Matt could sense thier racing heartbeats. If things were the other way around - if Chad and Callista were watching Matt and Barbara - the show would be over. At his age, such episodes were what he called "one and done." Chad, however, was fully erect and plotting his next act in the show. Watching Callista's reaction, it was clear she was used to this level of prowess, and moved in such a way that matched Chad's enthusiasm.

"My plan was for this to be like we were looking in a mirror, going back 30 years," Matt said to Barbara." Back in our day, we could close a deal now and then with a hot zesty group session with a potential client....Not sure I have that in me anymore, and a couple of young partners like these two might come in handy, playing the physical parts after we set things up...." Matt glanced back to the aroused couple..."I think they might go along with that."

Matt and Barbara shared a smile, considering the possibilities. Chad and Callista continued on with their youthful vigor and energy, Chad kneeling between Callista's legs and guiding his hard cock to her waiting pussy. Their mutual moan was like a stage curtain rising, signalling the beginning of another act. Matt put his lips to Barbara's ear.

"We can stay here to keep watching if you'd like," Matt said softly. "But I was wondering what would happen if you went over to join in. I'd like to see their reaction."

 

[fsa52]

Barbara was definitely enjoying the show on the sofa, but she was equally enthralled by what was happening with Matt. Though they were close, sharing so much, it had been a bit longer than she liked for them to share sex. She was hoping that her ministrations to Matt's cock and the wlldly erotic show would ignite a flame in him. She smiled as Matt suggested using the very adventurous couple in some business "meetings'. Her smile faded a bit when Matt whispered that she might want to join them. It definitely wasn't her first course of action, but it did hold some allure.

She looked first at Matt, whose eyes were intently locked on the young couple gyrating across the room. Following his gaze, Barbara watched as Chad, cock totally embedded in Callista's wetness, drove his passion home. The vision in front of her brought back oh so many memories of Matt and her in the beginning. A time that she was now realizing would nor be again, at least not with Matt. But she could go there again with Chad; Callista would be an extra bonus, young, nubile and hopefully interested in a bit of playtime with an older version of herself.

Her mind obviously now intuned with Matt's, Barbara stood, reaching for the bottom of her designer silk dress. She slowly pulled it over her head, holding it in her hands she looked at Matt and saw him staring at her and not the young couple. She smiled, excited by his obvious interest, which in turn increased her excitement in joining the couple.

Dropping her dress over the back of the loveseat, she ran her hands over her lace bra covered breasts, wanting to keep Matt's interest for as long as she could. She slowly swirled her fingertips over her nipples, arousing them noticeably before she reached behind her to undo the bra. Laying the bra on top of her dress, she ran her hands over her body one more time before slipping her hands into the waistband of her matching lace panties. She slid them over her still relatively firm ass and onto the floor, stepping out of both them and her heels.

Matt's eyes were frozen on her now naked body, so she stook two steps to him, facing him full on with her nakedness. His position on the loveseat was perfect for a closeup of her trimmed and now very damp pussy. He looked up, smiled and then raising his hand he slid two fingers into her pussy. She moaned her appreciation and smiled as he withdrew them, then tasting her on them. This was more than enough to encourage her participation in the twosome, soon to be a threesome. She turned away, walking seductively across the room, her eyes on the hot sex she was just about to be a part of.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

It would have been fine with Matt if Barbara had stayed in front of him, allowing him to continue tasting her for the rest of the afternoon. The memories of such days and nights filled Matt's head as Barbara's sweet nectar danced on his taste buds. But work came first for Matt, a hard and fast rule he lived by, one that he had derived much success, and there were goals to accomplish this afternoon. Part recruiting/job interview, part future strategy session, this afternoon's coming together of four individuals needed Matt's full attention, and satiating his pleasure would have to wait.

As in many instances before, Barbara sensed what Matt was thinking without saying a word. Her lovely and erotic form seemed to glide away from him, and when she joined Chad and Callista just feet away from him, nothing could have appeared more effortless and natural. Matt's confidence in Barbara's ability to close a deal was complete, and he enjoyed the smiles on Chad and Callistas's faces as she joined their intimate gathering. For a moment, his thoughts drifted towards guilt as he wondered if this were something over the line - perhaps he was asking too much of Barbara, maybe she felt Matt was betraying her in some way. If that were the case, it would need to be addressed later.

Three people together combine for six hands, but from Matt's viewpoint, there appeared to be 600 hands moving about, touching, stroking, even grabbing a bit. He had seen it go both ways, new lovers in group setting either being extremely shy, or greeting the situation over-aggressively. Matt had already decided that this was not Chad and Callista's first such adventure - they just seemed too familiar with all of it. But they had never done this with Barbara before, so they were in for an entirely new experience.

The politics of a threesome can be tricky, and the early indications were that Chad and Callista understood this. Barbara's experience was evident as well, not barging onto the scene like a car crash, but easing in like a comfortable familiar character in a play. The hands continued to move about, Matt not sure who's were who's at certain points of time. Barbara stood next to Chad, who was propped up on his knees, his cock slowly moving in and out of Callista. Barbara said something that Matt couldn't make out, and her comment drew a giggle from Callista, who put her hand on Barbara's arm softly.

Smiling at Chad, Barbara turned to him fully and kissed him, Chad's hands softly took hold of Barbara's breasts.Their kiss intensified, which drew a soft moan from Callista.

 

[fsa52]

Barbara looked at Chad and Callista, just inches away from her. Her wicked smile conveying exactly what she wanted with them. They returned her smile as she laughingly asked if there was room for one more. With that comment she leaned over and placed a soft kiss on Chad's lips. Returning the kiss and then heightening its intensity, he let his hands wander to Barbara's luscious breasts, all as his original partner watched intently.

The younger man's hands devoured Barbara's breasts. Fingers running wild, squeezing, fondling, pinching, eliciting moans from both Barbara and Callista. Callista's moans were caused by her dual arousals; Chad's cock pounding into her and his attention to Barbara's delicious tits. Larger than her own and even with Barbara's age, more beautifully shaped. She could barely control her body for thinking about how she wanted her own mouth and hands on the older woman.

Barbara herself was feeling that ever delicious pleasure of sex with strangers. Her heartbeat quickened, her nipples hard, her pussy juicy with anticipation of things yet to come. While her body worked in tandem with Chad, her mind thought about how things had been with Matt all those years ago. So much has changed, she thought.

Matt's face gleamed brightly as he saw Barbara's mouth consume Chad's. The plan hatched in his brain only hours ago was coming to fruition. That fact and the wonderfully erotic picture across the room were working together to bring him the very much needed excitement of a business deal sealed with sex.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

Throughout his business career, Matt had been a disciple of the "power of nice," a business philosophy that believed that positive, cooperative environments resulted in quality business deals more often than combative, negative environments. When people liked each other, and enjoyed working together, more got done and everyone left the deal happier.

Another business philosophy Matt followed was trust few people, but trust them completely. Matt knew that Barbara was someone he could trust, of that there was never any doubt, and at the moment she was working her magic in building the positive environment in which Matt thrived. Chad and Callista were under her spell, and willingly slow. Hopefully as the afternoon progressed, they would reap the benefits of a comprehensive association with Barbara and Matt.

The heat was just about detectable as the three naked people began to move in unison, mouths meeting, hands exploring, moans becoming louder and louder. Chad continued to fuck Callista, and Matt wondered how long that would continue. Chad had to be wondering what it would be like to take Barbara, and if Matt's instincts were correct, Chad was considering Callista's feelings on how things would progress. The politics of group sex were not to be ignored, and Matt was watching closely to see how the young man conducted himself in this situation.

Callista was a team player, Matt could see. Her smile was genuine, and her welcoming touches on Barbara's arm were equally as sincere. As Chad fucked her pussy, she responded in an incredibly sexy way, but she kept her eyes on Barbara as well. This indicated an ability to adjust to new stimuli quickly, a trait that would serve her well if she were to play the role Matt had in mind for her.

And Barbara....Barbara, the lovely Barbara. Bringing it all together, as she had always done and continued to do. This new approach Matt had conjured would result in removing himself from much of the physical activity he had enjoyed over the years. But time stops for now man, and he had to be prepared to pass the standard on to those more capable. Barbara, however, was still on the top of her game. She was more than keeping up with the two younger people, and Matt could see that she was taking a leading active role in the action.

As he relaxed on the couch, sinking back in it a bit, Matt watched Barbara move down to her knees, taking Chad's cock from Callista's pussy and guiding it to her mouth.

 

[fsa52]

Barbara was enjoying Chad suckling at her breasts, but she knew Matt. She didn't even need to turn her eyes toward him to envision his demeanor. In her mind's eye he was settled into his seat, eyes on the action while he mentally licked his lips over this new 'business deal' he had created and urging the players onto bigger and better things. Knowing this, she disentangled her breasts from Chad's mouth, grabbed his granite cock from it's quarry and locked her lips around it. This startling action brought moans from both Chad and Callista, but for very different reasons.

Chad's eyes flew open and then rolled to the back of his head as Barbara's well trained mouth worked it's magic. Watching his face Barbara smiled, remembering an early client who signed his name on the dotted line while telling Matt that she had sucked him like a porn star.
It was very good to have talents, she chuckled inwardly!!

Callista's moan was not anywhere as pleasant as Chad's had been, nor was the look on her face. Barbara knew that immediate action was needed, so she put her arm around Chad, bringing his hand to Callista's deprived pussy. As Chad began to slid his fingers along Callista's slit, Barbara's right hand joined in the finger play, swirling patterns across the young woman's shaved mound trailling a finger now and then to touch the tip of her clit. The deep sighs and soft moans that were emerging from Callista's now were of a much more contentedly aroused nature.

With her mouth erotically tormenting Chad's cock and her fingertips teasing Callista's deliciously naked pussy, Barbara could feel even more excitement building in her. She really needed a bit more attention for herself, but was at a momentary loss for a fix. As if reading her mind, a hand ran over her hip and crossed to her inner thigh catching a drip from Barbara's overflowing pussy.

To say that Matt wanted to undress, scurry across the room and join the menage would have been the understatement of the afternoon if not the entire week. But he resisted, as difficult as it was, because a bigger plan was being put into effect, a plan that would benefit all involved in ways that could not even be imagined at this point. To walk over and fuck Barbara and maybe Callista would be the easy road to take, but the pleasures would be immediate and short-lived. At this point in his career and life, Matt knew his role was changing, one that called on him to make things possible for others.

As he crossed his legs on the couch, Matt admitted that this approach had a unique benefit. Nothing pleased Matt more than fucking Barbara, but coming in a close second was watching Barbara as she pleasured other people. With that playing out before him, it was time to once again watch his favorite show. Barbara was clearly in control. Chad was under her spell, his cock full thrusting its length in and out of her willing mouth, Barbara's eyes closed, her level of pleasure increasing by the moment. Ever the multi-tasker, Barbara blindly reached for Callista and her fingers melded with Chad's as they brought Callista into the pleasure arena. The circle was complete when Callista reached across Barbara's thigh, finding the target which resulted in Barbara moaning her appreciation, a sound muffled by Chad's thrusting cock.

The three moved in a beautiful unison, an erotic rhythm developing as Chad moved toward Barbara's mouth, Callista arching her back, and Barbara responding to Callista's touch. To continue in this manner would have brought orgasmic pleasure to one of them at least, mostl likely all three eventually, and Barbara allowed the activity to continue awhile longer. But then, she shifted gears, taking her young charges to the next level. She moved back, removing Chad's cock from her mouth, smiling up at him, but then moving over to Callista, speaking to her softly.

"If it's ok with you, I want Chad inside me, "Barbara said.

Callista smiled broadly, moving up on the furniture, nodding her approval. As Barbara stood, she put her hands on Chad's strong chest, pushing him back to the couch and positioning him to his back. As Callista watched eagerly close to Chad's head, Barbara straddled Chad, lowering herself onto his hardness, eliciting a strong moan from her and from Chad and Callista as well. As Chad and Barbara developed their fucking rhythm, Callista kissed Chad, long and and hard and passionately. Barbara steadied herself as her hips moved up and down, herha hands on Chad's stomach and chest.

Engulfed by the growing intensity and passion, Callista climbed upon Chad's face, her moist pussy finding his mouth, Chad's tongue instinctively finding her opening. Callista and Barbara, now facing each other, shared a smile as they matched each other’s gyrations. Matt stood up from the couch and moved over to a chair that afforded a better view from the side. Having long ago surrendered any idea of returning to work that afternoon, he began to wonder if he should clear his evening agenda as well.

 

[fsa52]

Chad's eyes were tightly closed trying to think, but his mind was total mush; two women atop his body had turned it thus. He opened his eyes to see Callista"s beautifully rounded ass in his face, and his unencumbered hands rose up and began stroking it softly. As his brain sputtered, his hips rocked slowly matching Barbara's rhythm, while his tongue flicked in and out of Callista's succulent pussy. His smile widened under her as he thought about how damned lucky he was!!


Barbara loved the feel of Chad's cock deep in her and if she closed her eyes she was transported to about twenty years earlier. That night riding Matt's delicious cock, looking down into his eyes and realizing that he was not just her friend, her sexual partner; he was the man she loved, and would do absolutely anything for. And over the years she had done anything he wanted and loved doing it. This was his newest brainchild and she was going to do everything she could to make it Matt's very best plan yet! With that thought, she opened her eyes, looked directly across at Callista's enchanting face, leaned in and kissed the younger woman full on the lips.


Callista never saw the kiss coming so she was taken aback by the sudden mouth action from Barbara. She did recover sufficiently to open her mouth and receive the offered gift. Their tongues swirled around one another as if on a dance floor. A touch, a tease, a grazing of the teeth, kindling a fire in the women and from the groans heard from beneath them, Chad was afire as well. A well oiled sexual machine, their bodies meshed and merged, parts pumping and darting.


Matt could not imagine anything more erotic than what he was viewing on the couch, and although he watched the entire threesome, his eyes continually reverted back to Barbara's lush body. In his mind his hands were caressing her breasts, his lips softly touching hers while his cock grew rigid in his pants, waiting for release. Ah, but not now he told himself, once again he reined himself in knowing the time had not come for his insertion into the group

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

Barbara kissing Callista signalled to Matt that Barbara was all-in, focused completely on making things happen, To this point, Matt's idea of bringing Chad and Callista into the fold, maximizing their talents and capitalizing on their youth to grease the wheels of Matt and Barbara's machine - the idea had so far not been fully developed or verbalized, yet Barbara seemed to have a perfect vision of how it all could work, and her current actions were sure to make it all possible.

Barbara's totally erotic moves on top of Chad had been a joy to watch, and the kiss with Callista was icing on the cake. The smile that came over her face as she broke that kiss showed her pleasure and also served to signify that more was to come. She steadied herself on Chad with her hands and slowly raised herself off of his cock. Instinctively, Callista moved back from Chad's face and Chad then shimmied himself up to face Barbara, who leaned forward to kiss him, complimenting his fucking prowess.

Before he could respond, Barbara moved her head lower to his cock, taking it in her mouth once again, tasting her own sweet honey on his rock hard cock. Her hand on his slippery wet cock and stroking it, Barbara sucked furiously, shifting her body to reveal it to Matt and bending her knee to allow her legs to spread. Sensing the invitation, Callista slinked over to Barbara's pussy, slowly moving her hands up the inside of her thighs and allowing her extended to tongue to explore where Chad's cock had only recently been thrusting.

Matt took in the view, marveling at both the erotic sight, and at the threesome's ability to surprise and please him. These three were showing all the signs of a true team dynamic. Good things lay ahead.

 

[fsa52]

Barbara looked at Matt as she changed her position and began her oral exploration of Chad's cock yet again. Matt was fixated on the threesome and Barbara knew that now was the time for her to seal the deal. Her mouth was pleasuring Chad when she felt Callista's tongue begin to probe her aroused pussy. Not a virgin in the bi territory, though not hard core, Barbara had explored this area as part of her business acumen, but not in her personal life. Her excitement continued to grow as Callista's tongue flicked at her clit and her fingers slid in and out of Barbara's increasing wetness.

The arousal of Barbara herself definitely influenced the direction of her oral attack on Chad's cock. She threw her mouth into high gear, taking his most delectable cock deep into her mouth and down her throat. The gasps and moans from Chad proved to Barbara that she was hitting all the right spots. As her mouth went wild on his cock, her hands enhanced his pleasure by entertaining his balls. Her fingers played gingerly with a bit of squeezing and trailing of her fingertips down his balls towards his ass. Slowly she moved closer and closer to his ass, teasing it by circling the rim. All the while Chad's cock twitched and throbed in Barbara's mouth until with one more deep throat his cream shot out covering her waiting mouth and throat. She continued to suck as she swallowed draining Chad of all the juiciness he possessed. She slowly pulled her mouth from his cock, and set her mind to her own satisfaction.

Barbara disengaged her pussy from Callista's mouth and gently moved Callista to the plush carpet; aranging herself in a 69 position, her wetness over Callista's mouth as her mouth hovered over Callista's pussy. Both women began the delicious task of devouring one another with abandon. Chad recovered from his recent sexual experience, sat on the edge of the sofa, directly across from Matt. However neither man noticed the other as both sets of eyes were literally glued to the floor show at hand.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

The ladies were taking over and Matt did nothing to stop them. He knew of Barbara's ability to read a room and respond with a plan of action that would appeal to the sensibilities, needs and requirements of everyone in the room, and she has demonstrated these abilities in both sexual and non-sexual matters. Matt knew as the ladies both moaned and orally explored each other that Barbara's approach right now was both sexual and non-sexual. The sexual was obvious and playing out in front of Chad and himself. The non-sexual was where Matt needed to be alert.

The non-verbal communication between team members had to be something in which each felt total confidence. One could not take a course of action without being completely sure that the other had his or her back and knew the objective. Barbara had put herself in her current position so that Matt could see both Callista and Chad's reactions. Was Callista enjoying what Barbara was doing, or was this a little too much for her? Was Chad feeling a part of things or was jealousy taking over? And, was Chad still engaged in the going's on, or was he withdrawing after he had been sexually satisfied?

Barbara counted on Matt to access their young protégés' reactions and make solid judgments on their capabilities. It had been decided not long ago that Chad and Callista could work with Matt and Barbara, they had the drive and willingness to step outside of conventional ways of doing business and engaging clients and potential partners. As Barbara brought Callista to orgasm, she knew Matt was watching her and Chad, envisioning how the two young professionals would respond to similar situations in the future.

Callista's orgasmic moans put a pleasant cap on the most recent erotic episode. He was enjoying this as much as he could without actually taking part, and he looked forward to the time when he could provide more direct input. Those days were close at hand, and Barbara's welcoming activities aimed at Chad and Callista were providing a perfect foundation.

 

[fsa52]

Barbara's main objectives had been completed and the minor one was in its final stages. She writhed under Callista's intimate attention and with unmistakable pleasure brought the final curtain down on the day's sexual show. All eyes had been on this center stage performance so when it concluded, Barbara knew she would still be on display. She chose to add one little encore to the smashing achievement by a deep kiss with Callista and then an equally deep one with Chad.

Matt was in awe of Barbara; her talents in the conference room and the bedroom didn't seem to have abated over the last 20 years. Her curtain call move had truly solidified this meshing of people and personalities. He, once again, had to wonder which of them was the real brains in this relationship. In reality, he knew that it didn't matter as they had always managed to be of the same mind, sometimes frighteningly so, causing Matt to comment on the shared usage of one brain.

While Matt rumed on Barbara's abilities, the young couple were being shown to the bedroom and master bath by Barbara. Matt stood as Barbara's naked form reappeared in the room. He closed the distance between them, pulled her to him and kissed her full on the mouth. MMmm, but the delicious taste of raw sex on her lips had always excited him and today was no exception, but he knew that now was not his time. Instead, he let her go and grabbed up her discarded clothes handing them to her, saying how wonderful she'd been and what absolute pleasure it always was to watch her in action. She smiled and excused herself to the other bath off the kitchen area.

Matt rewound and replayed today's action in his head with distinct enjoyment. The sex had been more than arousing and the business plan looked to be flourishing as well. He thought it all just one tasty little bite, but this delicious recounting was halted by the sound of Callista and Chad's now fuly clothed bodies returning to the room, followed shortly by Barbara's from the other direction. Matt offered drinks and Barbara dinner, but the younger couple refused politely, stating dinner plans with a new clent as the reason. There were handshakes and hugs all around, and as Matt showed them to the apartment door, Barbara went to the wetbar to mix up a shaker of Matt's favorite.

"So, your reactions to our day of work?" she said as she shook, rather than stirred their drinks. "My lovely," Matt returned smiling, "it was a rousing success. No pun intended. And You were the the ever entrancing leading lady!!" Her face showed how much she appreciated those words from him. As she handed him the martini, she sat on one of the bar stools making herself comfortable knowing that the long range plans for this fledgling quartet were about to be discussed.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

Ever the one in charge, Matt assumed the mantle of "Bartender," taking a position behind the bar. He couldn't help it, always attempting to be the center of attention, the guy in charge. This entire afternoon had been a spur of the moment idea, but one that had seemed to find the glimmer of success and promise. Matt could see that Chad and Callista were capable of what he had in mind for them, at least initially. Doing business and securing deals with sex, well it certainly wasn’t a new idea. And the sex was the EASY part. Could they handle the details and the numbers and the dollars as well? Matt and Barbara would have to see, under very different circumstances.

As Matt looked at Barbara, he began to realize that perhaps his moving behind the bar wasn't a move of taking control after all. Perhaps he was acknowledging the need to be of service to his long time collaborator, lover and friend. After all, no matter how good Matt's idea was concerning Chad and Callista, it went nowhere without Barbara's expert intervention and her unique way of making each party happy. Chad was certainly going home and happy man, and while it was doubtful this had been Callista's first foray into the bi-sexual realm, Matt was 100% confident that the experiences was like no other she had experienced in her young life.

Matt had decided early on that he wouldn't participate in the afternoon's festivities, choosing instead to gauge the reactions of his auditioning apprentices. As the afternoon went on, watching Barbara became its own reward. As he watched her first sucking Chad's cock, then riding him, then interaction in different ways with Callista, Matt could only marvel at her pure and wonderful sensuality. It was a complete joy to behold Barbara in all ways, but her erotic expression was such a treat, that seeing her with the young couple almost made Matt forget about the business goals of the day, and that took some doing.

Matt refreshed Barbara's drink, asking her if he could do anything else for her, serve her in any other way. Saying no with a smile, Barbara suggested they leave the corporate condo and return to the office. Matt agreed on the plan, reaching for his phone and grimacing at the three missed text messages and one missed call. Matt suggested they go to dinner after work, roughly around seven.

"I need to return this one call," Matt said, looking at his phone. "I may need your help with the deal. I'll tell you about it at dinner."

 

[fsa52]

While Matt made his phone call, Barbara straightened up the living room and thought about the day's progression. It had started as usual, but had turned into something a bit different than she'd expected. Not a bad way to spend her work day; an unusual progression, but she felt confident that Matt had everything under control and planned to the nth degree, as he always did. And she always followed his plan, never doubting his acumen at both business and life.

'Ready to go?" Matt said as he entered the room and put his arm around her. After all these years his touch still sent that tingle through her. "Let me grab my purse, and we'll be out the door." she told him.

The minute they hit the business doors Matt headed to his office, while Barbara headed to hers. She had her own phone calls to return and messages to tend to according to her new assistant, a thirty two year old quite handsome married man and father of two. Barbara had to admit he was a delight to look at when the tensions of the day got to her, but she also knew that although he was pretty to look at, touching was not anything she wanted to get into with him. However she had noticed that he spent a bit too much time staring at her cleavage, which always made her grin inwardly. She did love the attention that her breasts afforded her.

After a couple hours of busness as usual, Matt's smiling face appeared in her doorway. She looked up and returned his smile. "Dinner at Boromeo's sound good to you?" Matt offered. "Just what I had in mind," Barbara aswered.

As they sat in the booth drinking after dinner God Fathers, Matt started talking about the day's activites and the business deal he might need her help on. She listened as he explained the deal and her intricate part in it's closure. There was something exciting about Matt dictating her sexual moves with clients, something she found quite arousing. She could feel herself dampening as she listened and watched Matt. Even after the day she'd had, she wanted Matt tonight.

With that thought in mind she slid her foot out of her designer heels and ran it up the inside of Matt's right leg. A slight gasp escaped his lips as her foot reached his crotch and then a smile played on them. Knowing that smile was an acquiescence, she rolled her stockinged foot over Matt's cock feeling the very beginnings of hardness.

 

[Chief_Lifeguard]

A naughty smile came over Matt’s face as Barbara’s foot found its target, an equally devilish grin coming over her face followed by laughter. For one of the few times in recent days (if not in his entire life), Matt was ready to forget about business, take Barbara home, and enjoy everything she had to offer, everything she was, and everything they could do together.

Calling for the check without saying a word to Barbara about the strategic location of her foot acted as a punch line, drawing a further giggle from her, which only made her more beautiful and more attractive. It had been quite a day for being an admirer of hers, Matt thought. Sensing their non-verbal connection and communication as Matt conceptualized the idea of bringing in Chad and Callista, Barbara’s immediate understanding of his idea and her flawless execution. Their tried and true telepathy had once again worked flawlessly.

But separately, Matt thanked the gods, Mother Nature and any other responsible party for the opportunity granted to him on this day where he was permitted an up-close view of this goddess in sexual action. Matt wasn’t sure if his voyeuristic tendencies were in place before he met Barbara, of if they developed as he observed her over the years, engaging in some of the wildest carnal pleasures any man could imagine. These thoughts stirred in Matt’s mind as he signed the receipt and handed the folder back to the waiter, thanking him. As he stood up, Matt took Barbara’s hand and the two friends were off toward a magical night.

The conversation in the car involved work and business, as usual but nothing too in-depth. There were a few mentions of Chad and Callista, their pluses and minuses, and a few shared smiles as the afternoon was remembered. Again, the image of Barbara engaged in the apartment with the young couple aroused Matt, causing Matt to quicken the pace of the drive home.

Once there, the couple stashed away their brief cases and personal items in their appropriate places. Barbara didn’t actually live at Matt’s place but felt comfortable enough there to claim her own territory, which Matt gladly conceded. With each moving through the house freely, shouting their conversation when necessary, Matt and Barbara eventually found their way to the bedroom, as if guided by a river’s current. Matt was surprised and glad to see Barbara already partially undressed, her suit skirt gone, along with her shoes and stockings, her white silk blouse unbuttoned. As Matt slide out of his slacks and began to unbutton his shirt, he watched Barbara take her blouse off the rest of the way, softly laying it upon the chair next to the bed.

Standing on opposite sides of the bed, Matt and Barbara smiled and moved on to it, as if the entire day had lead to this point. A certain sense of relief came over them both as they embraced and kissed softly. Barbara held Matt’s head softly as she fell back, taking him with her and he effortlessly moved his body over hers. Their kiss intensified and their breathing became audible, all of which made the passion in the air something one could touch. Barbara’s hands slid down Matt’s back, her fingers sliding under the band of his boxers, invading further and gripping his ass as she lifted her hips, grinding them against hers.

Matt countered with his hands sliding behind Barbara’s back and unhooking her bra, lifting his chest from hers only long enough to remove her bra and toss it aside. Feeling her breasts against his chest increased his arousal, and his hands moved to them, squeezing them softly at first. Unable to resist the urge to taste them, his mouth moved to her nipples, his lips and tongue feasting on each nipple. Barbara’s responsive moans only propelled Matt further, and he found a place between her legs, sliding her panties hastily off.

As if it were the first time he had done so, Matt hungrily took Barbara’s pussy, his tongue finding her opening and sliding in steadily. Instinctively, his fingers found her clit, without him opening his eyes. So comfortable with each other, Matt and Barbara moved together, her hips rising to meet his mouth and her hands softly caressing his head. Like a practiced choreography, the moves were measured, and the responses were immediate without being predictable. The pair moved almost as one on the bed in a symphony of motion, the crescendo achieved with Barbara’s orgasmic moans.

Like two teenagers getting away with something, the lover’s giggled and shared a kiss along with the taste of Barbara’s sweet honey. The small matter of Matt’s boxers needed to be addressed, and Barbara rolled him on his back and had his boxers joining the rest of the clothes on the floor. The familiar grip of Barbara’s hand on his cock as her mouth engulfed the head had a special something extra, and Matt wondered if perhaps Barbara was thinking of Chad’s cock in her mouth earlier that day. If that was the case, Matt didn’t mind. Those jealousies had long been dismissed from their relationship, being viewed as unnecessary obstacles to pleasure. This did not however mean that Matt’s feelings for Barbara were strong and genuine, and these feelings swelled within him as he held her head, her motion up and down the length of his cock all part of the rhythm.

Sensing together that the mutual arousal had peaked, Barbara slowly moved on top of Matt, her motion seductive and sensual. As she gripped his cock once again, she lowered herself on to him, Matt placing his hands on her hips. Together they moved, the speed and intensity accelerating at an unnatural pace. The day’s events played in each of their minds as they closed their eyes, Matt imagining Barbara as she sucked Chad’s cock while Callista ate her pussy. Barbara similarly recollected the avalanche of sensations from hours before, playing them back in her mind behind her closed eyes.

The passion at the boiling point, Barbara and Matt both opened their eyes and fell together in another kiss. With their rhythmic moves at a furious pace, Matt reached up and placed his mouth on Barbara’s left nipple. Instead of a soft kiss and lick like he had placed before, this time he bit, which started a chain reaction of orgasmic fury. Barbara’s cry reacting to Matt’s bite caused her to orgasm again, and her release onto him caused Matt to explode inside Barbara. This all seemed to happen in slow motion to them both, as each savored every erotic second together.

Slowly, the two lovers found comfortable spots on the bed, bodies still entangled, mouths still locked in passionate, although now more calm kisses. Barbara smiled at her man, and rolled herself so that her back was to him, his arms holding her close. Slowly their breathing and heartbeats returned to normal. The end of a physically taxing day upon her, Barbara drifted off to sleep.

Matt fought the urge to do the same. He was content, and feeling very fortunate to have Barbara, pledging to never take her for granted. They shared this life they had chosen. But something haunted Matt, a feeling that had been with him all day. Slowly, he was realizing he could no longer physically meet the challenges his lifestyle and business manner presented to him. He knew that tomorrow, he would need to talk to Barbara about it, and solidify Chad and Callista’s role in their enterprise.
