Dorsai - Taxi

They understood that by me being the father, I was going to have an interest in the kids that any parent would (or should, anyway); in return, I readily accepted the fact that they were going to be the ones actually raising the kids, and had a primacy of place that I wouldn't have dreamed of contesting. Something else that happened was that all three of us grew more and more to trust each other's intentions and basic sense of what was and wasn't appropriate. I think all of us were surprised when we realized that we'd had three complete 'sessions' where none of us had thought of anything we though necessary to discuss – we'd simply reached a point where we'd found such easy agreement and so much common ground that we didn't feel it necessary to belabor the matter any longer.

There was only a brief discussion about how to get our notebook translated into legalese. I offered to get it done (I knew someone that I trusted), but wasn't put out in the slightest when they wanted to handle it themselves. The word we got back was that an agreement would be ready for all of us to sign in about a month. That was longer than I think any of us would have liked, but better than we expected.

It also marked the beginning of the "easing into it" process for Elisse and Gina.

It started simply enough, with the two of them simply getting used to being "with" me – sitting next to me, and casually touching my hand or arm or leg.

From those humble beginnings, it didn't take them long to realize that I'd been completely serious and sincere about not pushing things. It wasn't but a couple of weeks before they were agreeable to my putting an arm around them when they sat next to me during our frequent evenings of watching a movie or two together, holding hands with them, and even exchanging friendly kisses. Then they ratcheted the closeness between me and them even higher…

They'd invited me over to watch a couple of movies that had recently been released as videos with them, and the three of us had settled on the couch together as had become our custom – me in the middle, and them bracketing me. I wasn't surprised when Elisse pulled my hand down from where I'd been resting my arm on the back of the couch, and held it in front of her for a few minutes; what got my attention was when she put it on her breast and held it there. After promising that I wouldn't be trying to grope them or anything, I simply held it there – cupping her breast in my hand, but not doing anything else. Nor did I turn to look at her, or say anything about what she'd done. I did notice, though, that Gina turned her head and saw what Elisse had done.

When the closing credits for the movie started to roll, I calmly moved my arm back to the couch when I felt Elisse begin to move. After she stood up, Elisse asked Gina if she'd rewind the movie; that she (Elisse) wanted to take care of something before we started the next. Gina easily agreed, and Elisse left the two of us alone to chat while the movie rewound. I got up to change out the videos, and had gotten settled next to Gina again just ahead of Elisse making her reappearance – wearing only a long and oversized t-shirt. I knew that was all she was wearing because I could detect the gentle swaying of her breasts as she came toward us, and when she sat down, the material pulled against her ass tightly enough for me to see that she didn't have panties on, either. I was able to take notice of both of those facts with only brief and casual glances at her as I continued my conversation with Gina.

Without saying anything to Elisse, Gina started the other movie they had for us. Just a few minutes into it, Elisse again pulled my hand down; she didn't bother holding it in hers that time, choosing instead to simply put it directly on her breast again. She kept her hand on mine again, and just as I had before, I simply held it in my cupped hand. When I didn't do anything for several minutes, Elisse gave my hand a little squeeze before moving it on her breast a little bit. That was all the prompting I needed to begin a tactile exam of the warm orb I had hold of.

Slowly and gently, I began trying to find out what I could about the half-tangerine of her breast through the thin material covering it. It was pleasantly warm, and just a little less firm than a fresh marshmallow; I couldn't tell how large her areolas were through the material, but discovered that her nipple was about the size of the eraser on one of those oversized child's pencils – and pleasantly rubbery. After I'd finished my initial investigations, I was content to simply hold her breast in my hand and softly draw my fingers along it from base to peak, and occasionally use my thumb to gently toy with her nipple.

When it became clear to her that that was all I was going to do, she reached up to pull my hand away – but only long enough to pull the collar of her nightshirt out, and get my hand repositioned on her bare skin. Taking that as my cue that it was okay to take things a little farther, I took my time about getting more familiar with both of her mammaries. Her skin was soft and smooth, and as my fingertips explored, I could hear her breathing grow slightly faster and shallower. For the rest of the movie, I was more than happy to move my hand from one breast to the other and back again, holding them, softly caressing them, teasing her nipples, and just generally enjoying myself.

When the movie ended, I carefully extracted my hand when I felt Elisse start to move. When my arm was back on the couch again, she turned to me and looked deep into my eyes. I easily looked back at her, and after several seconds she seemed to be satisfied with what she saw. After breaking eye contact with me, she stood up and told me "It was a pleasure having your company tonight, Jim. I have to get up early tomorrow; so if you'll excuse me, I'll be going to bed, now."

I thanked her, and wished her a good night. When she was gone, I turned to Gina and said that I didn't want to keep her up, too, and that I'd be going.

She surprised me by telling me "No, don't go… please. You're not keeping me up, at all. Besides, there's something I wanted to ask you while it's just the two of us."

Curious, but unconcerned, I asked "What's that?"

"I know this may sound a little silly, but… could you help me get over my nervousness about actually having a guy seeing me naked? And… and even just touching me?"

Looking at her, all I could think of was to ask "Excuse me?"

Patiently, she told me "I've never been afraid of having another woman see me naked, or touching me. But a man – that's something different, entirely. Oh, sure, I've been kinda close to naked, like when I wear a bikini to go swimming; and I've had guys touching me before, too… but never anything like what we'd be doing when… it's that time. There isn't a doubt in my mind that I can be with you if it means being able to have a family with Lis" – she used just the last syllable of Elisse's name – "but I don't want it to be a matter of 'putting up with' being with you – these last few weeks, I feel like I've really gotten to know you, and what kind of person you are. I don't think you'd be happy about being with me if all I was doing was tolerating us being together like that, and that isn't something that I'd want to do to you… not after I've gotten to know you the way I have, and how much you're willing to help us. But I know that I'm not going to be able to do anything else until and unless I can get over the bad case of nerves I have about being looked at, and touched. I saw that while you were touching Lis, you were keeping your promise about not trying to push things; so I'm hoping that you just looking at me and not doing anything at first, and then maybe just touching me only as much as I say is okay… that I can learn that I don't have to be nervous – at least, not about you."
