Chapter 4

SPOV

I talked to Eric last night when he got home from work, and he told me Godric is willing to talk about trying this threesome thing out, and I have to admit I'm starting to have mixed feelings about this whole thing. Amelia was right when she said I used to have a crush on Godric and it's that part of me that is ecstatic about this, but there's another part of me that is terrified to ruin the close friendship we have.

Honestly, there was a time I thought I might want to date Godric, but then Eric took an interest in me and once we started dating, I fell in love with him, leaving anything that might have happened between Godric and I behind. I still find Godric attractive, but haven't really thought of him like that since Eric and I became serious and there's a part of me that is elated to finally know what it would be like to share something like this with my first serious crush.

I never told Eric about any of this, and I'm really hoping this doesn't complicate anything between us. I'm really hoping the close friendship Godric and I share will be strong enough to handle a sexual relationship. I certainly don't want to lose him, he means too much to both Eric and I and it would leave a huge hole in our lives if things were to sour between us.

I told Eric to have Godric come over for dinner tonight so we can talk about everything and I'm hoping getting everything laid out on the table and discussing what we are all willing to do, and what we aren't will make us all feel a little better about this whole thing. I've already got dinner in the oven and the butterflies in my stomach are doing flip flops as I rush around the house getting everything ready for the evening.

Wait, this is our friend. Why am I freaking out? Either we come to an agreement together and decide try this out, or we don't and are left in the same position we are now. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves as I run a brush through my hair and apply a bit of lip gloss.

The oven beeps and I make my way to the kitchen to take out the meatloaf as I see the guys' pickups pulling into the driveway. I set the dinner out on the kitchen table as Eric and Godric walk in the front door together, joking about something that happened on the job. I lean up and kiss Eric.

"Lover, dinner smells wonderful," he tells me with a grin.

"Thanks," I tell him with a smile, then look over to Godric and my heart is beating wildly anticipating tonight's conversation. "Hey, Godric, it's good to see you," I tell him, pulling him into a tight hug.

"Hey, Sook, everything looks delicious, and you're looking beautiful as always," he tells me with a warm smile as I blush. Ugh! This shouldn't be so awkward! We're adults, we can handle this!

"Why don't you both sit down before your dinner gets cold," I tell them as I enter the kitchen, grabbing serving utensils from the kitchen drawer. I return to the table and sit between them both as my anxiety rises once more. Shit. I need to calm down. I open the bottle of wine and pour us each a glass, taking a deep swallow. Liquid courage is a necessity for this discussion tonight.

We share small talk over dinner, catching up on each other's lives and before long the mood is comfortable between the three of us and I'm finally feeling more relaxed. I stand from the table, clearing the dirty dishes and Godric helps me carry them into the kitchen, rinsing them in the sink for me while Eric leaves us to take a shower.

I was shocked when Eric told me Sookie was hoping I might be willing to join them in a threesome, and I am more than a little excited by the prospect. I've had a bit of a crush on Sookie since high school and there was actually a time I thought the two of us might take that next step, becoming more than friends, but Eric got up the courage to ask her out first and I bowed out gracefully, letting my best friend take out the girl I was infatuated with.

I never told Sookie or Eric about my feelings for Sookie and over the years I grew to accept the two of them as a couple as I saw the love they shared with one another and I put the thoughts of being anything more than friends with Sookie out of my mind. But this is finally my chance to be with the girl I had my first serious crush on, a chance I thought I'd lost out on all those years ago.

I've been nervous all day, worrying about how tonight's dinner would go and am pleasantly surprised to find the evening is flowing comfortably between the three of us. I don't know what I was so worried about. We've been best friends since freshman year; this shouldn't be a big deal. We can handle this.

"So, Eric told you about our little problem?" Sookie asks me nervously as we wash the dishes together.

"He did," I tell her as she blushes slightly. I don't want her to be uncomfortable about any of this, and decide to keep things light and playful between us. "It's okay, Sook, I want to help you guys out, besides it could be fun, right?" I ask her playfully as I bump her arm with mine and she lets out a sweet giggle.

"Thanks for being willing to try this," she tells me as she looks up smiling at me with her sparkling blue eyes; those same amazing blue eyes that attracted me to her years ago. "I just don't want this to become weird between us," she says as I nod in understanding. I take her face into my sudsy hands and smile down at her.

"Hey, it'll be fine, alright? I'm just glad you feel comfortable enough to ask this of me; I'm honored," I tell her with a grin, placing a kiss to her forehead. She flashes me a brilliant smile that sends a warmth through me and I only hope I'm right and this won't change things between us. We finish up the rest of the dishes just as Eric enters the room with a wide grin.

"Okay," Sookie says as she walks to the counter and picks up a notebook as Eric and I exchange a look of puzzlement. "So Amelia suggested we sit down and decide what all of us are and aren't willing to do to make this comfortable for all of us," she explains as she carries her book into the living room and Eric and I follow behind. We sit to either side of her on the couch, waiting for her to begin.

I'm glad this evening is going so smoothly and I'm starting to feel better about this whole thing. Why was I ever even worried? This is my wife, who I love more than anything in the world, and who I know without a doubt, loves me unconditionally. And Godric is my best friend, who I trust implicitly. This will be just fine.

Now as Sookie sits between us on the couch she looks down to her piece of paper and I'm curious about what rules she has laid out for the three of us. I know there are certain things I'm not okay with, but I wonder what Godric and Sookie will be alright with trying.

"So, I wrote down a few things I'm not okay with and you guys let me know if there's anything we need to add, alright?" she tells us as we nod to her. "I'm not okay with anal," she blurts out as her face flushes deep red and Godric and I share a smirk.

"That's fine, Lover," I tell her, kissing the crown of her head. I honestly hadn't expected her to want this.

"I'm cool with that," Godric tells her with a grin as Sookie lets out a sigh of relief and then looks back to her list.

"Honestly, that's my biggest concern with being with two men together," she tells us with a shrug. "I'm fine with pretty much anything else, unless you two have different concerns I haven't thought of," she says as she looks to me with a raised brow, looking for my input.

"As long as all three of us are present, I'm fine with whatever happens," I tell them with a shrug. I'm not worried about them doing anything without me, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. Sookie and Godric both nod to me in understanding as a smirk crosses Godric's face.

"Well I did have request," Godric addresses at Sookie as I shake my head and suppress a grin, knowing where this is going.

"Okay," Sookie says, smiling up at him, "Out with it, we need to be open and honest with each other for this thing to work between us," she states, and I have to agree with her on that.

"That's a good point and I agree wholeheartedly, but this more of a personal favor," he tells her as I clear my throat, choking back my laughter. "You don't still have your old cheerleader uniform do you?" he asks her as Sookie breaks out into a fit of giggles.

"Actually, I do," she tells us as she sits up proudly. "And it still fits perfectly," she says, tossing back her golden hair playfully as Godric and I share a chuckle. Sookie sobers then and looks back and forth between us. "So everyone is really alright with this then?" she asks us. I look to Godric who nods to me and I smile at Sookie.

"I think so, Lover," I tell her, placing a soft kiss to her lips. I pull away and she grins up at me. She turns then and Godric takes her face into his hands, kissing her deeply and I find myself becoming aroused watching them together like this. Shit, I hadn't expected that. Hell, we should have done this a long time ago.

Sookie pulls away from their kiss with a slight blush to her cheeks and looks to me for any sign of apprehension and when I smile she lets out a nervous giggle and I know this will be okay between us.

"So," she says, looking back and forth at us, "When did we want to do this then?" she asks as Godric and I look to each other. He shrugs at me and I look to Sookie, taking her hand into mine.

"Why don't we plan on coming back here together after drinks tomorrow night, Lover," I tell her as she nods her agreement. We always spend every Saturday night at Merlotte's together, and I have a feeling having a few drinks in us will help make this more comfortable between the three of us.

"Sounds good to me," Godric says as he takes Sookie's other hand into his and kisses her palm gently as Sookie blushes slightly, looking up at him through her lashes. Godric stands then and Sookie and I join him, walking him to the front door. "See you tomorrow night," he tells me with a grin.

"Be ready to have your ass handed to you this week," I warn as he chuckles. Our weekly pool game has become the subject of much smack talking and gambling between the group of us and I'm looking forward to schooling him once more.

"Goodnight, Godric," Sookie tells him, pulling him into a hug. He kisses the top of her head.

"'Night, Sook," he tells her as he pulls away and exits the kitchen, making the way down the porch steps and jumping into his pickup. Sookie and I wave to him as he backs down the driveway and Sookie looks to me once his truck is out of sight.

"You still okay with this?" she asks nervously and I wrap my arms around her, holding her to me tightly.

"Of course, Lover," I tell her earnestly. "I'd do anything for you, you know that; I love you," I tell her, kissing her head and taking her hand in mine, proceeding to lead her back to our bedroom with me. A grin crosses my face as I imagine how tomorrow night will hopefully go. I am desperately hoping this is what my wife needs to finally get her sexual spark back and that doing this will smooth out this bump in our marriage, bringing us back to how we used to be once more.
