KENNY
                    Chapter 13

“Thank you kind sir,” Barb whispered into Ken’s chest.

“Thank me? I think you have things reversed, I should be thanking
you.”

The two naked lovers were sitting on Barb’s couch taking a break.
She was curled up on Ken’s lap with a blanket wrapped around
them.

“Maybe I should be thanking the sisters instead?”

“Connie told me she let you know about that and I was very upset
with her.”

“Why Ken? Are you ashamed to be sleeping with older women?”

“What? No way Barb, I’m upset that Connie would risk Marta and
Marcia’s reputations that way. The last thing I want is for
either of them to be hurt. I was a total wreck when they found
me; I was close to driving off a cliff or running in front of a
truck. My ex had told me that I was a lousy lover, and what with
all of her experience, I believed her. The sisters helped me to
see that Belinda was the one at fault, not me.”

“I didn’t mean any disrespect Ken. I really am thankful to them.
You are a fantastic lover and I feel great right about now.”

“Thank you, but I have to ask; is tonight a one time thing, or
are you hoping for more Barb?”

“I would like to see you again Ken, but at the same time I don’t
see myself as settling down just yet. I’m doing all right here
for now, but I want to transfer to a bigger hospital where I can
get into a supervisory position. I do like you a lot Ken, and you
certainly flipped all my switches, but I think you need someone
permanent; like Connie.”

“I understand Barb, I expected nothing less. You and everyone
else are wrong about Connie though. We don’t have anything
going.”

“Well what did she say about your lovemaking?”

“We haven’t had sex Barb.”

“Why the hell not? I know Connie wants to, don’t you like her?”

“I like her okay, but I’m not good enough for her Barb. I’m not
really good enough for you either, but somehow I knew that you
weren’t serious. I’m afraid that Connie might be.”

“Damn right she is serious; that girl needs a good man, and you
look to be the best choice for her Ken. Think about it; everyone
can see that you two are right for each other, and sometimes the
majority can be correct. You and she should try to forge a
relationship, you would do well together.

“That’s enough about her, do you think you are up to another time
Ken? I don’t think that Connie is going to let me have another
chance at you and I would like to get all I can while I can.”

“That depends Barb; can I taste your sweet essence for a bit
first?”

“You want to lick me again? I am certainly not going to turn that
down cowboy.”

Ken stood up and carried the fully aroused Barbara back to her
bed. Later she did not even have enough energy to see him out.
She kissed him goodbye from her bed. “If things don’t work out
with Connie, I will be around for a few months yet Ken, and I
meant what I said about seeing you again.”

“Goodbye Barb…you’re going to call Connie as soon as I am gone,
aren’t you?”

“If you don’t leave quickly, it will be while you are still
here.”

“I get the hint, ‘bye.”

He and Connie had already decided that unless he got home very
early, he would leave Mallory to sleep with Stefan until the
morning rather than wake her.

Ken entered his cabin and prepared for bed. He was almost asleep
when he heard a knock at his door. He opened it to see a totally
nude Consuela on his stoop. He stood there with his jaw heading
toward the ground staring at the dark skinned Latin whose beauty
was fully revealed to him for the first time.

“Are you going to invite me in Ken? Rose suggested this method of
getting your attention, and after talking to Barb I decided not
to wait any longer.”

Ken closed his mouth and then started to get just a little
irritated. “Mom suggested this huh? Well did you ever consider
just talking to me? I was beginning to think that we might start
dating, and then you pushed me off on Barb, so I figured you
didn’t want me. Now it is 3 am and you show up like this when you
have been talking to Barb and you know damn well that I can’t do
anything about it. Your succubus friend drained me completely. I
am sick and tired of everyone trying to run my love life for me
so now I am going to take charge. Go back to your own bed Connie,
and later today ask your mother if she will baby sit for us
tonight. If she is willing to do that, then I will take you out
on a proper date and we will talk all evening to see if we are
compatible. If it looks like we are, then we can come back here
and I will make love to you and make you scream in ecstasy. Is
that understood?”

“You don’t want me?” Connie asked in a small voice.

“I didn’t say that,” Ken said. He then leaned forward and lightly
kissed Connie on the lips, “I want to do this the right way dear,
and this is not it. Now go back to bed and think about what you
want from a husband and lover and tonight you can determine
whether or not I am it. I am going to get some sleep and I will
see you at breakfast. Goodnight Connie.”

Ken stepped back and closed the door. Connie stood for a moment,
and then grabbed robe she had dropped to the side, put it on, and
slowly started to walk back to her own cabin. This was not what
she had expected to happen; but she thought that maybe she liked
it. She knew that she liked Ken’s firm manner much more than she
did the meek guy she had known for so long. She had been too
nervous to have been “drippin’ cunt cream” as Rose had suggested;
but now there was a tingle in her loins as she walked home.

Saturday night they talked all through dinner, and then they went
dancing again. This time they didn’t share with anyone and spent
the time between songs talking some more. Finally it was time to
go home.

Sunday afternoon Connie approached Marta as the older woman was
relaxing by the pool. The Neilson twins were visiting again and
beginning to be a regular feature.

“Hello Marta, may I talk to you for a bit?”

“Of course you can Connie; what’s on your mind dear?”

“Well first off, you and Marcia seem to be quite taken with
Wilbur and Walter. Are you getting serious with them?”

“Yes dear, I think that we are. They are living in an overpriced
condo in Pacific Grove right now but we are thinking of turning
part of the house into another master suite for Walter and Marcia
to use. The problem the boys had when they were married before is
that the women tried to keep them apart. They were jealous of the
time the brothers spent together and that just didn’t work.
Walter and Wilbur are extremely close, even for twins, and can’t
stand to be separated. Marcia and I don’t see a problem with that
and think that we can all live together and be one happy family.
We could build a new place to live, but I really love it here and
I don’t want to move.”

“That sounds wonderful Marta; do they do like most twins and
switch places to try and fool you?”

“Not that I know of, but switching partners is not that much of a
stretch Connie. Are you shocked?”

“Titillated maybe, but not shocked. If they didn’t dress
differently, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. It actually
sounds like fun.”

“Fun like I heard from Ken’s cabin last night Connie?”

Consuela’s face turned a deep red. “Yeah,” she said softly, “like
that. Momma told me long ago that whatever woman Ken chose would
have cause to thank you and your sister; and she was right. Thank
you.”

“You are quite welcome dear,” Marta laughed. “Do you have any
plans yet?”

“Yeah, we talked a lot last night before doing other things. Ken
told me this morning that when the time was right he would ask me
to marry him. He wants to wait until he gets his certificate so
that then when he starts to earn enough we can get a house. I
hope you understand Marta, we love it here, but we need a place
of our own; especially since I plan on at least two more kids.”

“Do I get to be a surrogate grandmother?”

“I wouldn’t have it any other way Marta. We aren’t going far.”

“Wilbur and I have been talking, and when Ken has his certificate
we want to finance a business with him.”

“I’m not sure that he would take you up on that Marta, you know
how he is about charity.”

“We’re not talking charity Connie. We fully expect Ken to be
successful and to pay us back with interest. This will be an
investment for us, an investment in someone we believe in.”

             THE END
