Selmak lay awake in the darkness. Jacob was sleeping soundly. Janet was sleeping soundly in his and Selmak's arms. But Selmak couldn't sleep. Her mind raced with the memories of how they had reached this day and this new stage in their relationship.
Janet had invited them to live in her home. She gave them a copy of the house key, made room in her closet and even bought a new bureau for some of Jacob's clothes. And Jacob felt like such a fool for only bringing Janet the flowers on their one month anniversary.
Selmak had to remind him that the fact that he remembered to celebrate it was more than enough of a reward for Janet at this point in their relationship. The woman would expect a gift on the one year anniversary. Something like a weekend trip where they could make love all night and into the morning and order room service. Well, that's how Selmak imagined their one year anniversary!
There was no reasons why they wouldn't reach that day. After making such a wonderful impression on Janet in Japan they were already well on their way. In addition Jacob had other key qualities to ensure his and Selmak's continued relationship with Janet. For instance, Jacob was already toilet trained. Allison taught him well to put the seat back down when he was done. And if he forgot, Selmak was there to remind him. He wasn't a slob. In fact, if anything he was a bit anal about cleaning up after himself. Plus, the fact that he could cook was a huge bonus! Janet often commented that Jacob was spoiling her with his cooking whenever he made an Italian dish for her. And no she wasn't just being nice she had actually meant it.
'Selmak, go to sleep,' Jacob yawned.
'I am sleeping, you're dreaming,' she soothingly whispered back.
And to think, none of this would have happened if Jacob hadn't plucked up enough courage to ask Janet out to dinner. Little did they know when they had picked Janet up that they would go on the adventure of a lifetime. Pfft! Selmak hadn't even realized that they'd make love with the woman so soon! Or that they'd be doing it on a regular basis!
Selmak had to admit that Janet had an insatiable appetite that could wear a blended man and his symbiote down. And she was eager to experience what it was truly like when both Selmak and Jacob participated in the act of making love to her.
Of course, Jacob who loved o be in control had to learn how to share in the affection! Selmak giggled loudly when he finally figured out how they could work as a team. He was very eager to try again and again and again. His enthusiasm revitalized Selmak in ways she hadn't imagined.
The void in her heart was now filled. A vital piece of her life was now completed. The same could be said for Jacob who took to living each day as though it were the last. Some of life's lessons were hard to swallow. But Jacob had always been a smart man and a good learner.
Together he and Selmak gave their entire hearts, bodies, and souls to Janet. They loved her deeply and as completely as a blended pair could love a person. And in turn, Janet gave them the same deep, passionate love back kiss for kiss, stroke for stroke.
Selmak just wondered when she and Jacob were going to pluck up enough courage to ask Janet to marry them.
'Don't worry, Sel. We'll ask her when the moment is right,' Jacob mumbled to her.
'But as a man, how do you know when the moment is right?'
'Trust me…we'll know. We'd just better inform Sam about our intentions first.'
'Right, wouldn't want her to get weirded about Janet becoming her stepmother!'
'Good night, Selmak,' he yawned.
'Good night, Jacob.'
"Good night, our sweet Janet," Selmak whispered, kissing her on the forehead.
Selmak finally fell asleep, looking forward to their next adventure.
