American Dream: Part 21 (Patreon)

I feel like I might have lost the thread on this one somewhere along the way.  Sometimes these characters just get away from me.  Hopefully y'all are enjoying it though, but if not bear with me as I bring AD to as smooth a landing as I'm able.  I'll try my best to have it wrapped up by the end of the month.

Alfred: Saturday, 2:00 pm

I am seized by the strangest combination of contradictory feelings as I see my wife happy and laughing in my dashing young secretary’s strong arms.  I had clearly just missed something significant as there was still a perceptible crackling emotional energy suspended in the air.  With all of our cuckold play recently my mind naturally goes to only one place.  Cody had just come onto Sarah and by the smile on her face she had welcomed the advance with glee.  My soul is nearly torn asunder as my manly pride and husbandly jealousy pulls in the complete opposite direction as my inflamed libido.  It was a sting to the heart versus my swelling dick with my reeling mind left to try to make sense of it all.

“You’ve got quite the timing my love.”  Sarah laughs.

“Oh?”  I say.  “Am I interrupting something?”

“You could say that.”  She says.

Letting go of Sarah Cody steps back from her and turns to me.  “I just left Crystal.  You just missed all the drama.”

“Cussing, insults, threats.”  Sarah gives Cody’s arm a supportive stroke.  “It was messy.”

Looking at me with a striking intensity Cody says.  “I never would have done it without you King.”

“Me?”

He nods.  “You said you and Sarah didn’t want her.  So I got rid of her.”

This surprises both Sarah and I.  “What?  I didn’t mean for you to break up with her!”

“I know.”  He says.  “But it cracked the door to the idea.  I just had to open it the rest of the way myself, with a little help from the confidence you two gave me.”

Sarah gives me a curious look.  “You told him we didn’t want her?”

“Well, I know how jealous you get and…uh boy.  I never thought…”

“You gave up your chance to be with Crystal…for me?”  Sarah says.  “But…she’s so young and…beautiful.”

“But I knew it would upset you.”  I say, then shake my head.

“Oh Alfred.”  She sighs.

“I can’t believe you broke up Cody.”  I say, the fog from my nap still making it difficult to keep up.

“Believe it.”  Holding his arms wide he proclaims proudly.  “I’m all yours bossman.”

“Mine?”

“Yours.”  He says with feeling, his blue eyes smoldering.  “And Sarah’s if you want to share me.”

“OH!”  Sarah gasps.  “Golly.”

“But that’s it.”  He says.  “No more running around for me.  At least for awhile until I figure things out.”  Cody looks down then back up to me, almost bashfully.  “In the meantime I’m yours Alfred, if you’ll have me.”

“Awww!”  My wife smiles at his open sincerity.

“Uh…ummm…uhhh…”  I stammer as all of a sudden the path to my own cuckolding was free and clear!  Fantasy could become reality, but was that a good thing?  And that’s to say nothing of the fact that from out of the blue I had a gay lover if I wanted one.  What world was this?

“Hold on there lover boy.”  Sarah says to Cody.  “We’ve got to talk.”  She then looks to me.  “We’ve all got to talk about Faith.”

“Faith?”

Sarah comes up onto the deck and slips her arms around me.  “Come on baby, let’s talk.”  She looks back over her shoulder.  “We won’t be too long.”

“Don’t worry about me.”  Cody gives us the thumbs up.  “I’ll get the grill fired up.”

Inside Sarah slides the door shut behind us and leads me over to the sofa where we sit down together.  Once there Sarah tells me about the threats and coercion Crystal tried to use on Cody, and that she would likely lash out at Faith and I just to cause maximum hurt on the way out of Cody’s life.  She then, very tactfully, broaches onto the subject of our daughter.  Using the kindest language Sarah lays out certain facts about our vivacious offspring.

“I know all that.”  I say.  “I’m not blind you know.”

“I know.  I just…I know how you two are.”  She says.  “I didn’t want it to come as a shock when I, uh, when I told you that Cody and Faith have, erm, been together.”

“Okay.”  I wait for her to finish the point.

“Well…I just thought that might be an issue, ya know?”

“Sarah.  Once Crystal and Cody let us in on their…lifestyle, I kinda put two and two together.”  I say.  “Faith is close with them.  She’s the one who introduced us.  I figured there was probably a past there.”

“Oh!”

“Faith’s love life is none of our business Sarah.”  I say.  “Nor is ours, hers.”

“True.”  She says.  “Although Crystal’s about to make it her business.”

“That’s too bad but…what can we do about it now?”  I say.  “I’ll call her and make sure she’s not blindsided by it.”

She takes my hand.  “I’m sorry Alfred.  I never should have told Crystal as much as I did.  I started this whole thing.”  She slumps against me and lays her head on my shoulder.  “Truth is Crystal’s already told Faith too much.  Embarrassing things.  Things a girl shouldn’t know about her Dad.”

“Faith’s a big girl Sarah.  Give her some credit.”  I say.  “Faith probably knows more about kink then we’ll ever know.  She knows I’m no macho man.  And she knows that I’m not perfect.  But she also knows that her Papa loves her with all of his heart.  And that’s all that really matters.”

“But you are perfect.”  She looks up at me, love glimmering in her eyes.  “You are a special kind of man Alfred.”

“It seem so.”  I quip.  “Not every guy to have a smitten 22 year old hottie grilling him up some steaks for him and his wife.”

“Pfff!”  She giggles and nuzzles into my chest.  “You’re naughty!”

“Me?  Ha!”  I look back toward the deck door where I could now hear some music playing as Cody busied himself at the grill.  “What do you think we should do about him?”

“About him or with him?”

“Either.”

She rubs my thigh.  “I’ll follow your lead.”

“Gee, thanks.”  I chuckle.

Squirming in place she blushes a little.  “I mean, you know how I feel.  And I know you want to see him with me.  And I want that too.  I just…don’t want us to do anything that we’ll regret.”  She glances toward the door.  “And I don’t want to hurt him either.”

“Me too.”  I pat her knee.  “Let’s play it by ear.  See where he wants to take this.  If either of get cold feet we put an end to it.”

She giggles.

“What?”

“I can’t believe you’re even considering it.”  She pinches my belly.  “You really want to be cuckolded, don’t you?”

“Well…um…I can’t deny…that I’m interested.”

“He’s big.”  She warns.

“I know!”  I fan myself.  “Don’t remind me.”

“Pffft!  He he he.”  Her eyes are twinkling with glee.  “Or is because he’s a guy?  A little…curious are we?”

“Hey, I told ya he was a good kisser.  You know what a sucker I am for a good kiss.”

She titters.

“Yeah, I am curious actually.”  I state boldly.  “We only live once, right?”

“Alfred!”

“Right?”

“Right!”  She nods.  “Double right.  I never knew!”

“Neither did I.”  I say with another nervous glance backward.  “And I still don’t!”

Alfred, 2:33 pm

The call the Faith was a weird one but we get through it well enough.  If anything, such a candid conversation actually brought us even closer together as such risque topics were one of the few things my daughter and I hadn’t talked about and now it had been broached there was little left that we had to avoid with each other.  It was…nice speaking to her as one adult to another at last.  One final step in coming to grips with that fact that my little girl had grown up.  She assures me that she can handle Crystal just fine.  And on the subject of Cody I discover that she was nothing but supportive.

“So you’re saying he’s single?”

“I’m saying he’s figuring stuff out.”

“The fact he’s bi makes him even hotter!”  She sighs.  “The things I could do to that boy.  Mmm mmm!”

“You are too much.”

“You have no idea Dad.”  She laughs.  “I could tell you stories.”

“No thanks!  Geez.”  I groan.  “You sound like Crystal.”

“Crystal was an out of control nympho!”  She objects.  “Whereas I know exactly what I’m doing.”

“Uh boy.”

“Ha!”  After a moment she says.  “So you gonna do it?  Ya gonna bang him?”

“I don’t know Faith.”  She’s about to say more when I cut her off.  “And it is none of your business.”

“Woo hoo hooo!  You’re totally doing it!”  She says.  “Go get him champ!”

“Oh my God.”

“We can compare notes!”

“Stop!”  I laugh despite myself.

“Just remind him that the King’s got a daughter, huh?”

“Faith…”

“Hey, every princess deserves a prince.  Especially if he’s got a big scepter.”

“Faith!”

“Seriously Dad, wait until you see…”

“I’m hanging up now.”

“Dad!”

“What?”

“I love ya.”  She chuckles.  “You my Papa bear, no matter what.”

I smile.  “I love you too princess.”

“And Dad!”

“What?”

“Have fuuuun”  She holds the note until she hangs up.

I roll my eyes and put my phone away.  Things were changing all over.  My relationship with Faith just the latest one.  What else was going to change before this had run its course?  I felt both anxious and excited to find out.  Out on the deck I could hear Cody and Sarah chatting and having a good time.  Their upbeat voices lifted my spirit.  I stand and smooth out the tacky Hawaiian shirt I had put on the for the barbecue and take a long, deep breath…then step out into the bright summer sun.
