Bellaire Belles

Chapter Eighteen


By Mr. Freeze



A very naked Grace answered her door and looked at me like I was crazy.

"How in the hell did you get over here?" asked Grace, worry washing over
her face.

"Ashley walked me over and then left.  I need to talk to you alone where I
know no one else is going to walk in on our conversation."

"OK sweetie," said Grace, visibly relaxed.  "I'm gonna have to send
Patrick away though."

"I can come back at another time," I said, blushing.

Grace shook her head.  "No, it sounds like this is serious.  I'll send him
over to Sarah's.  Maybe he can go wear Ashley out for awhile instead of
me."

"Not likely," I said under my breath knowing Ashley would be in no mood
for her brother.

Grace led me into the house and then after a few minutes I watched as
Grace ushered Patrick out of the house.  He gave me a dirty look as he
walked out the door.  I knew I must have interrupted something fairly
intimate to get that kind of look.

When Patrick was gone Grace came back into the house and went up to put
some clothes on.  She came back down wearing a terry cloth robe.  She sat
on the same couch as I was sitting on and smiled.

"What seems to be the problem?" she asked.

"I want to change the way things are between Ashley and I," I said.  "In
order to do that I need to change the way things are between Sarah and I,
and Bree and I."

"You want to be exclusive with Ashley, don't you?" asked Grace.  She could
always read me like a book.

I nodded.

"You still love Bree and Sarah?"

I nodded.  "I love Bree a lot but its new love so I have no idea where it
could go.  As for Sarah I see a distance forming between us that has been
getting bigger and bigger every day ever since the first day Patrick and
Megan came to visit.  When I add it all up I love Ashley as much as those
two girls combined."

"Are you sure Ashley wants to leave Sarah?" asked Grace.

I was surprised that Grace hadn't caught on to the fact that Ashley didn't
love Sarah.  She was normally quite perceptive.

"Ashley doesn't love Sarah," I said flatly.

"Really?" said Grace in surprise.  "Could have fooled me."

"Ashley came to me before the accident and pledged her love for me and 
told me she was sick of sharing.  I want to make her dream come true.  She
told me then that she pretended to love Sarah so she could be close to 
me."

"Again, could have fooled me.  I've seen how she looks at Sarah.  I do 
know she is more crazy about you though.  She always has been."

"I know."

"So, how are you going to break the news?" asked Grace.

"Well that's part of why I'm here," I said.

"Oh?"

"I don't want Ash and I to have to stay with Sarah," I said.

"Of course you can stay with me," said Grace as if by instinct.

"No, that isn't it," I said.  "I've never asked for anything of you.  
Never thought it would be right.  Everything I have from you is because
you have offered it to me first.  I feel bad asking now but I see no other
way."

"Go ahead honey," said Grace with a warm smile.

"I want to rent a house near school in September," I said.  "I know it
would be an additional burden on top of what you are paying for in tuition
already and much more than just staying in the dorms like last year.  I
will understand if you say no."

"It won't be a problem at all," said Grace.

"Really?  I feel so bad having to ask."

"Don't," said Grace.  "You spent your whole life with your parents not
being able to ask for anything for yourself.  I'm not gonna allow that to
happen anymore.  I want you to ask me for things.  I have so much money
and only you and Patrick to spend it on.  Rent on a house is mere pocket
change with what I have in my estate.  I hope you ask for more things in
the future."

"I feel like I shouldn't be taking advantage of you though," I said.  "I'm
not even doing chores around here to make up for all you've provided me."

"You've done chores all your life for no money," said Grace.  "It's time
for a break.  Besides I owe you more than I have in the bank."

"I don't understand."

"I owe you my life," said Grace.  "You helped make me whole again.  You
made me feel wanted and helped me find a family.  I know that things are
going to be a little rough in that family in the next few days but I know
that everything will work out too."

Then it hit me how I was going to prove to Ashley that she was going to be
my one and only.

"I need to ask you for one other thing," I said

"I told you that you can have anything," said Grace with a smile.

"Would you mind if I put about ten thousand on your credit card?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grace helped me back to Sarah's house and back up to my specially prepared
room.  I gave Grace a chaste kiss and thanked her for helping me.  Grace
gave me a not so chaste kiss and told me to ask for help anytime I needed
it.

It didn't take long for Ashley to show up after Grace left.  She was
clothed so I knew she was ready to talk.

"Well?" asked Ashley as she walked in the door.  She looked uneasy.

"Have a seat," I said gesturing to a corner of the bed.

Ashley sat down and gave me a weak smile.  She was shaking like a leaf.

"Have you given a thought as to where you're gonna live when school starts
in a couple of weeks?"

"Yeah, right here," said Ashley.  "You and I can carpool."

"It seems like an awfully long drive to make every day.  I for one don't
want to deal with Malfunction Junction every day."  Malfunction Junction
was where the two main highways in Tampa converged, I-4 and I-275.   It
was always a serious mess and the cause of lots of accidents.

"You have a point," said Ashley.  She was noticeably calmer.

"I was thinking the two of us could rent a house near campus and than we
wouldn't have to drive so far."

Ashley looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"What about Sarah and Bree?"

"What about em?"

"Aren't they gonna be hurt by us going to live together on our own?"

"Probably," I said without emotion.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" said Ashley who was starting
to tear up.

I nodded.  "I want to make your wishes come true."

Ashley knocked me over with the force of her hug.  Next came the assault
of kisses and then the uncontrollable squealing.  I had a serious shit
eating grin from all the emotion she was showing.  I knew I had made her
the happiest woman on the face of the earth.  Unfortunately that happiness
had a price.  Ashley suddenly realized it as well.

"What about Sarah and Bree?  How are you gonna tell them?"

"You and I are gonna tell Sarah together.  You need to tell her things are
over too," I said.

Ashley nodded.

"Bree and I will have to sort things out alone.  Telling her will be one
of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life."

"You still love her very much," said Ashley matter-of-factly.

I nodded.  "She will always hold a very special place in my heart but what
I feel for you is so much more."

"What about Sarah?"

"There has been a distance growing between us ever since your brother and
sister came out.  She discovered free and open sex and I think that she
started growing further and further from me in the process.  I think she
will probably accept things fairly easily but will be concerned about 
Bree."

"What about the sex?" asked Ashley.  "Do I have to give up my brother and
sister? Grace?  Even Sarah?"

"No," I said.  "Not if you don't want to.  I think we can still have an 
open relationship except I want to be committed to you and only you."

Ashley nodded her head furiously and squealed "YES!"

"If we kept the relationship open than the blow won't be so hard on Sarah
and Bree.  They know that they can still have us in the future if they 
want.  It just will be under different terms."

"I have no problem having an open relationship as long as I know that you 
will always be mine and only mine and I will be yours and only yours."

"I agree," I said.

Ashley rained down kisses on me again and then pulled my shirt off. The 
shirt caught on my cast, but Ashley quickly worked it off.  She slowed 
down and kissed my chest on every conceivable spot she could, taking extra
time with my nipples.  Next she was sliding off my shorts and then my
shoes and socks.  She kissed up and down my legs and even kissed my feet,
which was way too ticklish for my taste.

Ashley tore off the sundress she was wearing, exposing her gorgeous body
to me.  She was getting so thin and it was all because of Sarah who we
were both going to break up with in a few hours.  Her tummy was now flat
as a board, most of her visible fat was gone.  Her breasts were a bit
smaller and firmer.  She looked like a tanned Irish goddess.

Ashley rubbed her pussy a few times and then impaled herself on my
hardened member.  She leaned down and kissed me, almost causing me to come
out of her.  She then sat up and began milking my cock with her pussy
while bouncing up and down on the shaft slowly.  I grabbed her and dragged
her back down to me again.  I kissed her deeply.  I shifted her legs so
they were now pointing towards me.  This caused me to come out of her but
I quickly entered her again.  I then sat up with her in my arms.  She was
now in my lap with her legs wrapped around me, both of us locked in an
embrace of love.

We sat in each other's arms for a half hour.  Ashley milked my cock with
her womanhood and managed two very quiet and intimate orgasms of her own
before I finally went over the edge quietly.  We stayed bonded together
for a few minutes after I came and then lay down on the bed next to each
other.

"I love you more than anything in this world," I said.

"I love you the same way," said Ashley.

We lay together for another hour and then Ashley got up to clean herself
up.  We both got dressed and prepared ourselves for the bad part of having
our relationship together.

"You ready for this?" I asked Ashley.

She nodded.

I pushed the button on the intercom and called out for Sarah.

"What do you need honey?" asked Sarah.

"Could you get dressed and come up here?" I asked.

"OK?" she said hesitantly.  I could tell she wasn't happy already.

After a minute of Ashley and I looking at one another nervously there was
a soft knock at the door and then Sarah walked in.  Her smile drained off
her face when she saw that Ashley was there too.

"We need to talk, Sarah," I said.

"Why do I have the feeling I'm in front of a firing squad," said Sarah
with a weak smile.

I sighed deeply confirming her worst suspicions.  

"Sarah, Ashley and I are going to rent a house close to campus during the
school year," I said to start things off slowly.

"You know you can stay here," said Sarah.

"We know," I said.  "The problem is that we don't want to commute an hour
each way every day of the week."

"You'll still be here on the weekends though, right?" said Sarah with hope
in her eyes.

I looked at Ashley and she nodded.  "Yes, I think so.  I always came out
here to be with Grace on the weekends anyways."

"There's more to this, isn't there?" said Sarah.

"Both Ashley and I have decided to become an item exclusively," I said.

A tear escaped Sarah's eye but she didn't start crying.  "Ok," was all she
could say.

"I felt that things between us have been drifting apart ever since Patrick
and Megan came out," I said.  "Ashley feels the same way."  It was a lie,
but it saved Ashley from telling Sarah that she never loved her.  
"Everything has been about the sex since then.  With Ashley it's been 
different.  It's about the intimacy."

"So, you're saying you don't love me anymore?" said Sarah on the verge of
crying.

"I still love you.  So does Ashley.  I still love Bree very much.  I just
love Ashley much, much more."

Sarah sighed and then threw up her hands in defeat.

"I can't say I haven't seen this coming," said Sarah.  "I knew bringing
Ashley into your life again was a gamble but it was worth it if it made
you happy.  I would do it the same way again if I had to.  I'm just
worried about Bree now that I dragged her into all of this."

"Her and I will have a talk after this," I said.

"She's gonna be devastated," said Sarah.

"I know," I said solemnly.  "At least it's now and not a few months later.
Things between her and I are still fairly new."

"Just go easy on her, please.  That's all I ask.  I've worked for years
to build her self-esteem."

"Do you really think I want to see her hurt," I said.

"No," conceded Sarah.  "I know you have everyone's best intentions at
heart."

"One other thing," piped in Ashley.

"What's that?" said Sarah.

"We would like it if you would still want to have sex with us.  Bree too.
We are keeping our relationship open."

A smile formed on Sarah's lips.  "I would love that.  Thank you."

"Honestly Sarah," I added.  "That was all there was left between us 
anyways so you really aren't losing out on anything."

"I know," said Sarah.  "I know.  It's just Bree I'm worried about."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got Bree alone that evening after dinner.  She and I went up to her room
to talk.  I was dreading this moment the most.  I still had very strong
feelings for her and I knew her love for me equaled Ashley's love for me.
I told her to put on a nightgown so we could talk.  I was wearing my boxer
shorts, which wasn't uncommon for me around the house.

Bree sat down on her bed after putting on her nightie and looked at me.  I
could see the worry in her eyes before I even said a word.

"Bree, I have something to say to you but it's not gonna be good."

"NO!" screamed Bree.  "You can't break up with me!"

Shit, I thought.  This wasn't going the way I wanted it to go.

"I'm afraid that is what's happening to some extent," I said.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" screamed Bree, each "NO!" punctuated by a punch
to my chest.

 I grabbed her wrists as best I could with one arm broken and held them
 out to her sides so she wouldn't hurt me or herself anymore.  She began
 to sob uncontrollably so I let her go.

"This isn't fair!" screamed Bree.  "You made me love you and then you dump
me!"

"Whoa!" I yelled.  "I never made you love me.  You did that on your own.
If anyone made anyone love someone, that anyone would be you."

"WHY?  Aren't I pretty enough for you?  Am I not nice enough?  Too 
stupid?"  WHAT!?!?"

"It's Ashley," I said.  "She wants to have me to herself and I can't deny
her request."

"That bitch!" screamed Bree.

"It's not her fault," I said as calmly as I could.  I needed to reign in
the conversation somehow.  "I wanted it just as much as she did only I
didn't realize it."

"Don't you love me?" sobbed Bree.

"That's the problem," I said.  "I do love you.  I love you very much.
That's what makes this whole situation harder on me."

"Then why?"

"Because Ash and I have been close a lot longer than you and I have.  My
love for her is much stronger."

"You could have all of us still and love her more," said Bree.

"No," I said softly.  "Ash and I already talked to your Mom.  You and I
must also part ways."

"Will I ever see you again?" cried Bree.

"Certainly," I said.  "If you want we can even have sex too."

"But you said you and Ash were together without anyone else."

"We are still going to have an open relationship," I said.  "You and your
Mom will still be our good friends.  That will never change."

"Nor will my love for you," sobbed Bree.

"There will always be a piece of my heart for you," I said.

Bree smiled at me weakly and then gave me a hug.

"I will always be here for you," she said.

"No," I replied.  "You need to move on and find someone else to give your
heart to.  Don't pine for me because Ashley will always have more of my
heart."

"I can always hope," said Bree.

"You need to move on," I said.  "Find someone who can love you like you
deserve."

"You're the only one I want," cried Bree.

"I'm sorry," I said.  "I can't change the way I feel."

"Can we make love one last time as lovers?" asked Bree.

I shook my head.  "We can have sex anytime you want and while there will
be some love attached to it from me it will still just be sex."

Bree started sobbing uncontrollably.  I took her into my arms and held her
as she sobbed.  It took her nearly a half hour to calm down.  I held her
the entire time, trying to comfort her.

When she finally settled down she looked up at me and smiled.  It was
another one of those smiles of hers that melted my heart.  

"Thank you for trying to make this easier on me," said Bree.  "I don't
like it but I will accept it.  I will always love you and you can't change
that any more than I can change your love for Ashley.  I hope we can have
sex every time you come over."

I chuckled at her last remark and she giggled too.  I tweaked her nose
with my index finger and she smiled at me again.

"Friends forever?" I said.

"Friends forever," said Bree hugging me tight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I picked up the receiver to the phone and dialed Grace's house.

"This is Grace," said Grace when she answered.

"Hey Grace, is Patrick there?"

"Yeah," she said.  "How did things go?"

"A bit rough but I think things will be fine," I said.

"Good.  Hold on a sec."

I heard Grace call for Patrick and after a minute he came on the line.

"Hey Greg, what can I do for you?"

"First of all, sorry about getting you kicked out earlier."

"That's ok," said Patrick.  "Grace said it really was quite important."

"I need to ask you for a favor," I said.

"Anything.  I owe you for introducing me to your Aunt."

"I need a ride down to Sarasota."
