**This is the requested sequel to my Halloween story, Ghostly Date. While I believe it will stand on its own, it would probably make more sense with the background from reading Ghostly Date. Please enjoy. **

*

With the arrival of the Holiday season, it seemed everyone was rushing to accomplish something. There was such a multitude of things to do. Term papers that were due, finals, trying to do the shopping, getting ready for the Holiday itself; it was almost too much. Sheila wondered to herself if she could possibly get it all done. As a senior in college, she had little room for error with her schoolwork. After her screw up earlier in the semester, she had absolutely no room for another mistake with Alex.

Sheila was very aware that she still held on to Alex by the thinnest thread. If not for his mother's note and exhortations, he would probably have thrown her straight out the door. That was not quite right, Katy's words, or was Katy really his mother, or a ghost or just another flake. Neither she nor Alex knew for sure. They both knew what they saw. Both of them talked to her. Alex said he slept with Katy. That didn't sound like a ghost to her.

Still, everything about Katy was strange. If she wasn't Alex's Mother's ghost, then she was a dead ringer. Alex and Sheila had spent hours poring over memory books. She'd pulled out all the older memory books that covered the Class of '80. She'd also rummaged through the literally hundreds of photo albums that resided in her sorority house. There were so many pictures and many of them looked exactly like Katy.

Sheila knew that while Alex had taken her back, things were not the same. She was sure there were multitudes of reasons. Alex had been his ever-polite self. He did not yell at her or berate her. He was however, more distant, a little cooler, and always very proper. They'd only been to bed for sex two times since Halloween. Even then, their sex had been almost mechanical. The passion and tenderness she'd always felt from Alex were gone. He was not abusive, or nasty, it was as if he never let down his guard.

Finding Alex immediately after his being with Katy had given Sheila an inkling of the pain and emotional anger that she'd inflicted on him. She knew how she felt, so she could well imagine what he'd been going through. Doing her best to make it up to him had been a constant job. Sheila was not sure just how successful she had been.

The ghost of Katy still hung there in the air between them. Whether Katy had been a real woman or in fact a ghost, didn't really matter. She stood between them just as her fling with the quarterback did. The difference was that the quarterback was history for good. Katy was an unknown, still waiting in the wings somewhere.

Added on top of her uncertainty about Alex, was trying to do well in her next to last semester of school. She needed the grades to carry her, so that she had a better chance of graduating cum laude. She felt that in the current job market, she needed that extra accolade to help land a decent job.

Her emotional roller coaster this semester had left her with needing to finish the semester with very high marks to preserve what she had accomplished in earlier semesters. She'd slacked off too much in the earlier part of the semester.

All of these things were swirling around Sheila's mind as she pushed her way into the department store. She still had to find appropriate gifts for Alex. Normally, she did her shopping early, but with her misstep with the quarterback, she hadn't even thought about a gift for Alex. Since their reconciliation, she had been so apprehensive about the relationship, that she hadn't been sure she would be still seeing him at Christmas. She wanted to spend all of her available time with Alex, but he remained remote.

Not only was she unsure of the direction of the relationship, she was unsure how long she could continue to see him if he continued his coolness toward her. The warm, loving, and caring man she'd known for almost a decade, was submerged, and try as she might; she had been unable to break through the barrier. It was taking quite a toll on Sheila emotionally. Would he ever forgive her?

Usually for Christmas, Sheila and Alex exchanged three gifts apiece, sometimes there were more, but there was always a core of three or four. They always followed the same pattern for each of them. One gift was a gag gift. There would be one or two nice gifts of general usefulness. An immensely personal gift always supplemented the more conventional gifts. Something that would be lasting and certain to be treasured and remembered for many years.

Once Sheila had located, selected, and purchased all of Alex's gifts, she headed for her apartment. By a strange twist of fate, both of her roommates had already left campus for other places before the end of the semester. She hoped they would return before the next semester. They'd paid their rent through the first month of the new semester. After that, Sheila would have to find a new place if they didn't return. Either that or find a new set of roommates very quickly. She could financially survive with one, but two made it easier.

As she entered the apartment, placing the bags on the dining room table, she mentally took stock of what all needed to be done. Being a smallish apartment, the kitchen was too small to eat in, so the dining room table served as a place to do the eating, study, playing games, and general catch all. Sheila knew she had to hurry to get dinner going. It had taken much longer than she'd planned to pick out Alex's gifts. With him due to arrive in a little over four hours, Sheila felt rushed to get everything ready. Although there were really two more weeks to Christmas, they had planned this as their celebration weekend. She hoped that it would be a celebration.

After this weekend, she was going to very busy in the crush of doing the final polishing on her term papers and finals. There would be little time for much outside of schoolwork until Dec 22, when school officially ended. Her parents expected her home for Christmas and she hoped to bring Alex with her. A whole lot was riding on how the weekend's celebration went.

Dinner preparation was almost finished when a knocking at her apartment door interrupted Sheila.

Exhaling in frustration, she yelled. "Just a minute!"

The roasted chicken was well under way and required little more maintenance. She was in need of a shower and the final getting ready was yet to do. Company she did not need. She rushed over to the door, looking somewhat disheveled from her activities in getting dinner and the apartment prepared for the weekend. She opened the door, and then fell into silence.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" The visitor inquired of the stunned Sheila.

"Would you rather we talked in the hall?" continued the visitor as she raised her eyebrow in question.

"Ah...no... Please come in."

"Thank you. I told you I would be back. Something smells wonderful. I gather tonight is a special evening? I've arrived just in time I see."

"It's the honey pineapple turkey." Sheila tried to form a coherent sentence, reflecting her surprise without sounding rude. "I'm sorry, there's no way to ask this nicely. Why are you here? Who are you really? What do you want?"

*****

The visitor chuckled with a pleasant tingly kind of sound. She realized she had surprised the hell out of Sheila. While they had met, it was only once, very briefly. "I'm here to see you. I came to help you personally, and to help you resolve your problems with Alex. I don't want anything more than to see you two back together and loving each other without reservations, as your were before. I think you know who I am."

"That's not possible. I mean; the part about whom you are. That would make you at least 46 years old. You don't look a day over twenty. Who are you really?"

"Forty eight in your years actually."

"There is no way you are forty eight years old. You can't be."

"Well, you are right and wrong. I would be forty eight if Jacob, Alex's father, hadn't killed me when I was twenty six."

Sheila grabbed a dining table chair, pulling it out to sit on. She was not sure if she should believe Katy or not. Her eyes and research told her that this was Katy, but she could not reconcile that she was talking with a ghost. It was not possible and not probable.

"Let me tell you a story. It's the same story I told Alex on Halloween, only this time I will fill in the blanks I can. You can get your shower while we talk."

Sheila felt like she was in the old 'Twilight Zone' TV show. She allowed herself to be pulled out of her chair and led to the master bathroom. Katy settled down on the closed commode as she prepared to tell Sheila the same ghost story she told Alex Halloween. Sheila just stared at Katy. Not really moving and certainly not getting undressed.

"A shower will work so much better without the clothes Sheila."

*****

Sheila roused enough from her stunned stupor to begin undressing herself. Off came her button down oxford shirt. Her shoes and then her socks were soon lost. Jeans followed these and then she hesitated at her underclothes.

She looked at Katy as she reached to her back to release the catch on her bra. Katy smiled and nodded her head indicating Sheila should continue. As most women do, Sheila visually compared her breast size with Katy. Sheila finished removing her bra, revealing her well-proportioned breasts crowned with dusty pink nipples.

Not trying to hide her nudity, having been nude in front of her roommates, Sheila felt at ease with Katy. She couldn't figure out why she felt so at ease with Katy, but she did, sensing no threat. Grabbing the waistband of her bikini panties, she pulled them down her long shapely legs. When the lacy pink fabric reached her feet, she stood, shook them off her left foot, and lifted her right foot to grasp them and put them in the dirty clothes hamper.

Once undressed, she turned the water on in the shower to could get the temperature right. Sheila gathered her shaving utilities and placed them on the shelf in the shower. She wanted to be perfectly groomed for Alex. She hoped that with the celebration of Christmas, he would have cause to see all of her. Checking the temperature of the water, she moved inside the shower door, and called to Katy.

"You were going to tell me the story. "

*****

"Yes, of course. Please let me tell it all the way through before you interrupt. I will tell you all I know. More than I told Alex."

Katy rose off the commode, moving to stand near to the shower, so Sheila could hear her over the running water. She told the same story she'd told Alex on Halloween night. As she was telling it, she watched for reactions from Sheila: first, because of the details making up the story and secondly, to see if she was really paying attention. Sheila gasped in all the right places. She was dismayed and saddened by the tale of Katy's death.

"What I didn't make clear to Alex, is that I've been watching him in one form or another for all his life. I know just about every aspect of his life, at least those behaviors that can be observed."

"I can't read minds, so you're safe, but if you do something physical at some point in time, I may well know about it. I have only watched you occasionally until more recently. The reason is you were dear to Alex. I hope you'll forgive me for invading your privacy. Of course, most ghosts don't let the people they observe know about it at all.

"So you are a ghost then?"

"I honestly don't know. I use the term because it's easiest to understand. I am somewhere between alive and dead. I do not age. I've seen other ghosts that are moving among you. I can control being seen but not by who. No one has ever given me any rules."

"It's pretty much trial and error. I have gathered from observation of other ghosts that it has something to do with the way you die and resolution of the death. Because Jacob murdered me and there are no records indicting he did, I will forever remain a ghost. Since he's dead, he can't be held accountable."

"I don't know that I can help you and Alex. I tried to help on Halloween, but you two still seem so distant," sighed Katy, as she wrapped up her story.

"He says he forgives me, but I know he really hasn't. I can feel it in the distance between us. Alex is so sweet; he has never said anything else. Sometimes the tension is so vast between us; you can almost touch it. I want so much for us to be together as we were before."

"Doubts are seriously creeping in as to whether we can survive as a couple or not. Did you know that we have only made love two times since Halloween? It's not at all like it once was. He's still kind and gentle, but something is missing. It's too rote, to steady and predictable."

"You can fix that."

"If I can, I need to know how. It's tearing me up inside. I'm about ready to call off the whole thing. Oh God! Listen to me talking to the ghost of my boyfriend's mother. Have I lost my mind?" Sheila started to sob while still standing in the shower.

*****

Sheila felt a rush of cold air as the shower door opened. She didn't even look up; figuring Katy was simply trying to see her while they talked. She started when she felt the brunette's arms encircle her."

"What're you doing?"

"You needed to be held. I'm holding you."

"But you're a ghost"

"I can still hold you. I can even get wet it seems. I just don't get a chill. I can still feel. It's different. Most things are somewhat muted. I can still hold you to show I care."

Despite her confusion at the situation, Sheila relaxed in Katy's arms. It felt so good being held with love and affection. Although, she'd fooled around some with her roommates, it was usually when she was so horny that she couldn't stand the needing any longer. It was not regular, but it was enough to de-sensitize her to Katy's hugging her nude body close, even though Katy was also nude.

"I may be dead, but I know when someone needs to be held. The 80's were not so long ago that we were in the dark ages! You needed holding, so I'm holding you. You're not the first nude woman I've held."

"That's fine, but I still have to shave and rinse off. Thank you though."

Katy released Sheila and moved into the corner of the shower stall to watch. Sheila bent over to get her shaving supplies. In doing so, she showed all of her private parts to Katy from her slightly winking brown button and to her pussy. She was already slightly reddened and engorged. Between her anticipation of the evening with Alex and Katy's warm embrace, .the young woman found herself getting excited.

"I want to watch, I've never seen someone shave their pussy before," said Katy.

"After I do my armpits and legs, you can do me if you want."

Sheila immediately thought, 'What am I saying? I just asked a ghost to shave me. Oh! God!'

"Can I? That would be great! How do you keep from getting excited?" asked Katy beginning to get excited at the thought.

"By yourself, it's not as hard. If someone else shaves me, I usually do. It can be very erotic. Alex sometimes shaves me. Oh! God! I'm sorry. I forget you are his mother."

"It's OK. I think I take a little more than motherly interest in Alex, don't you? Considering how Alex and I met; and how you and I met immediately afterward, I think I can well understand you two have a sexual relationship."

As Katy said this, Sheila was busy taking care of the shaving of her other body parts. She kept herself neatly shaven, so maintenance was not difficult. She discovered she was becoming excited by thoughts of Katy shaving her.

'I wonder if ghosts can have sex?' As soon as she thought this, she remembered that the other woman was intimately acquainted with Alex. 'It's strange; I don't feel jealous of Katy at all. I think it's hot!'

As Sheila finished shaving her long legs, she remained seated on the platform. She handed the razor to Katy. Then she handed her the shaving gel. She scooted to the very edge of the platform and opened her legs wide.

"Please be careful. As you might imagine, it's very sensitive there."

"I bet. Are you sure you want me to do this? I've never done this before; not even close."

"Sure. You've shaved your legs and underarms before right?"

"Yes, but not for a very long time."

"Yeah, I guess you haven't. Go ahead anyway."

*****

Katy filled her hand with the shaving gel. She then proceeded apply the cream liberally to Sheila's pussy. When she had the area well covered, she turned the water back on, rinsing her hands. Proceeding along she shaved the outer areas around the dirty blonde-haired woman's pubic area and pussy as gently as she knew how. She cleaned the entire pubic hair area above the young woman's sex. Easing down she shaved the creases between Sheila's legs and her outer lips.

Sheila had a much larger set of outer lips than her own. They were already partially engorged and slightly pink. Her inner lips protruded from the center of her sex. The wavy, crinkled flesh was free of any hair so Katy knew she would have little trouble with them, other than keeping them out of the way. After the outer areas were clean, she wiped away much of the excess from directly on the younger woman's outer pussy lips.

Still leaving a coating of lather over the area, she then proceeded to run the razor gently over Sheila's outer lips. When this area was as clean as the area above her pubis, Katy moved to stretch the outer lips to get at the inner hairs that were hiding down inside the fold.

Katy repeated the stretching process on both sides of Sheila's pussy. When she was close to finished, she wiped down the working area with the wet washcloth. She pulled and stretched the blonde's pussy to look and insure she had all the stray hairs.

Taking such a close look at the rapidly engorging pussy showed Katy just how excited the younger woman had become during her ministrations. Being new to this activity, she was surprised by just how excited she had become. She did have to do a few touch-ups of stubborn hair on the inner side of her lips. When she thought she was about finished, Sheila moved.

"Get it all the way down, please."

Katy saw that there were still some stray hair below Sheila's pussy and moving to the area around her anus. She rubbed shaving cream around the area. She continued her gentle shaving as Sheila placed both of her knees in the crooks of her arms, pulling her pussy and anal area wide open and tilting the whole area up. Being careful not to nick her new friend, Katy shaved the remaining area. When she finished her shaving, Sheila's entire public region was completely free of any hair.

"You sure you've never done that before?"

"Quite sure, I've shaved my arms and legs, but never there. Now, I did have to learn to shave my no good husband, as he considered it my 'wifely' duty."

"You're kidding! Was he that big of a jerk?"

"Yes and no. Yes, he really was a drunken lout, but the shaving wasn't very bad. If you get beyond being forced to do it, it can be a lot of fun to do. If you're with the right person, I'm sure it could be downright erotic."

As Katy was telling Sheila about her married shaving exploits, she was gently rubbing and rinsing her entire pubic area. Distracted by the older woman's story, Sheila was slow to recognize that her cleaning was moving towards caressing. Katy was well aware of what she was doing. She let the washcloth fall to the shower floor, but did not cease her caressing.

Being fresh from a thorough shave, the continued attention and stoking was coaxing fluid from the excited woman. The circumstances of her situation edged into Sheila's conscious thought. Given the wonderful feelings, she was experiencing, and the ease she felt toward the 'older' woman, any doubts were submerged.

"Please, don't stop. That feels so good. It has been so long since I've been laid. The difference between doing it yourself and having some else do it for you is indescribable!"

"I have no intention of stopping, unless you want me too. Seeing you so excited is a thrill. I haven't done this in a very long time. Come on Sheila; let it go, let yourself go."

Sheila's excitement was growing rapidly. Her pussy was now very red and swollen. The excitement cause by Katy's caresses was wonderful. As her excitement grew, she naturally reached to Katy's pussy. Much like hers, Katy was wet with her juices. As Sheila ran her fingers along Katy's wet slit, she thought about her still being all-natural.

"Stop."

As Katy removed her hand from Sheila's pussy, she looked at the woman's face concerned something was wrong.

"What's wrong? I thought you were enjoying it."

"I am, but I have an idea!"

"OK, strange timing, but what's your idea?"

"Trade places with me. Let's get you cleaned up as well. Have you ever shaved your pussy?"

"No, I haven't. It wasn't very common back when, and in the existence I have been in, it really hasn't come up."

"You want to try it? It feels wonderful. So clean."

"I guess. Why not? Needless to say I've never had anyone else shave me. You are volunteering aren't you?"

"Yes, of course silly." Sheila smiled as the two women repositioned themselves.

"Just curious but where are you when you are not with Alex or me?"

"It's hard to explain. Nowhere that you would understand. I'm just kind of there, unless I think of Alex and now you. Then I am there with you. I can observe almost anyone, but only if I think about them or a place. It's as if I'm there, but not really. I'm sorry, it's hard to explain."

"OK. You being here and being able to touch you is already strange. I won't ask any more questions. Lord! I am about to shave a ghost!"

"Ghost maybe, but no nicks, okay? I don't know how that would work, but I'm not anxious to find out," chided Katy chuckling. "About the other, I know that love has something to do with appearing and not being able to do so. I don't understand it myself."

"I promise to be careful. I used to help my roommates shave when they were here. It's much harder to shave yourself. You can do it by yourself, but it's much nicer to have help!"

Sheila proceeded to lather Katy's pubic area. Other than being feeling slightly cooler than touching someone usually felt, she was unable to feel any difference in rubbing lather on Katy from when she did it on her roommates. Beyond the differences in women, the ghost seemed just like any other woman she'd known. Maybe she was a little kinder and nicer, but not dramatically different. Rousing from her musings to pay attention to what she was supposed to be doing, the blonde-haired woman realized she needed to concentrate to prevent nicking Katy.

As Katy had, Sheila removed the excess lather from the area. She made sure to leave a coating all over the area she was shaving. Knowing more about shaving, she did not neglect the area below Katy's pussy and around her anus. Figuring that if she was going to shave Katy, she'd do it right.

Much as Katy had done, Sheila first removed all of the pubic hair above 'older' woman's sex. Proceeding on, she shaved down the inside of her thighs, right at the crease between her legs and sex. Unlike when she was being shaved, Sheila planned on cleaning up the lower areas early, ending with the shaving of her pussy.

"Ok, lift your butt so I can get down there."

Having paid attention to what her friend had done, Katy lifted her butt by pulling her legs higher and grasped under her knees with her arms. She did not ask about the change in order, figuring that Sheila had a much better idea of what she was doing.

"That feels so strange. I have never felt anything quite like this before."

"Just wait, it gets better," reassured Sheila. "The actually shaving of your pussy can feel good, too."

Sheila proceeded to move to Katy's outer lips. She observed that the brown-haired woman's outer lips were much smaller than her own were. They almost looked like a pubescent teens. From years of locker room showers and her roommates, Sheila knew that rarely did any two pussies look alike.

'Kind of likes guys dicks' she thought. 'No two are exactly the same.'

As she worked, Sheila noticed that Katy's pussy was becoming more exited. She moved from the outer portion of her lips to get to the inner area. As she manipulated the brunette's pussy she could tell just how turned on her friend was becoming. It was becoming more difficult to grab bits of flesh to maneuver. Sheila had to use the washcloth frequently to wipe away the excess and remain cautious of nicking Katy with the razor.

Finally, she was able to get the hair that populated the inside of her slit. Sheila started to rinse Katy and check further for any stray hairs that were missed. Once she was satisfied with her cleanliness of lather and hair, she rinsed the area once again thoroughly.

Being finished with the shaving and rinsing was not the end of Sheila's attention to Katy's pussy. She had every intention of picking up where they had left off earlier. She continued her hand movements on and just inside the older woman's sex. They quickly became sexual caresses rather than a shaving necessity. As she moved her fingers though the bright pink flesh her reward was an increasing flow of moisture. Katy sighed and started to move her hips in tempo with the ministrations.

*****

As Sheila had done before, Katy snaked her hand down to caress and fondle her new lover's pussy. She was becoming excited. Even without looking, Katy could tell how swollen and puffy Sheila was. The women began moaning in their mutual masturbation of each other. It had been so long since Katy had felt the touch of another woman and indeed Halloween was the only break in a twenty plus year dry spell. In very little time, she could feel herself climbing rapidly to that pinnacle of release.

*****

With an increase in Katy's moans and hip gyrations, Sheila increased the pace of her stroking the excited pussy. She was delighted when this resulted in an increase in the ferocity of Katy's hand movements around her pussy. Being excited so long, even with the interruption of shaving Katy, the frustrated young woman was right on the edge. Sheila moved her first two fingers to penetrate Katy using her thumb to stimulate her clit. The insertion movement brought an immediate response in the fingers caressing her own pussy. Katy's hips increased in their bucking and her movements became more spasmodic as she neared her release.

Sheila found herself reaching her own orgasm quickly. The delight in bringing Katy to orgasm accelerated the trip to her peak. The older woman was now bucking hard against her hand but seemed unable to go over. Her own movements were somewhat more subdued, but the intense feeling was present anyway.

Wishing to make Katy's orgasm fantastic, Sheila eased her mouth down to her pussy. As Sheila sucked her clit into her mouth, she exploded in violent shaking and spasms. The excitement of Katy's orgasm triggered her own causing her to come moments later. While hers appeared less intense than her new lover's it was entirely pleasurable and she enjoyed it.

The mutual orgasms subsided as the two women relaxed against each other. Sheila rested her head on the lower portion of Katy's stomach as the older woman proceeded to stroke her hair with her free hand. Neither woman removed her hand from the others pussy, continuing small gentle caresses.

"Hi"

"Hi yourself," replied Sheila! "That was great!"

"You are telling me. I haven't done that in a long time. I don't think I've came like that for sometime either. Maybe Halloween but before that... A girl could get used to this!"

"Anytime. I mean when you are around."

"I know what you mean."

"We had better get cleaned back up and get the rest of dinner ready." Sighed Sheila as she turned the shower water back on. "We still have a lot to do. You are staying aren't you?"

"I would love to. I don't know if I can eat, never tried since... but I know I can keep you all company."

"You're more than company. This is turning out better than I'd hoped!"

"How's that? I figured I was interrupting your special plans for the evening," inquired Katy.

"In a way yes, but in another way it takes the pressure off of me and probably Alex. Having you between us, I'm sure is part of the problem. All of us here getting along, will help things immensely. Who knows, maybe the plans can still go forward anyway," answered Sheila with an impish grin. "I've never done that, but there is always a first time."

"I never thought of that. I haven't either. It is an interesting possibility, but let's not push the envelope. I'm not very sure and I don't want to add to the pressure of the evening."

"I haven't either, but after our shower, I am more than a little curious. I mean my roommates and I have played a little, nothing serious but it had possibilities."

"I played some before I was married, but that was a long time ago, never with another man. Until Halloween, Alex's father was the only man with whom I had ever had sex. I'll tell you there is a world of difference between Alex and his Father."

"I bet. He is so gentle. There are times I'd like it rougher but after trying out someone with no regard for my feelings, I'll take gentle and caring over the other, any day."

As the two newfound lovers moved into the bedroom, Sheila stopped. She turned to look at Katy, wrapped up in the towel.

"We're about the same size, I'm probably a little bigger and taller, but you should be able to wear some of my smaller stuff," said Sheila as she appraised the older woman's figure.

"I hadn't thought about that. I have been wearing the same clothes for over twenty years. Good thing they don't stink. Even I wonder about that," chuckled Katy.

"I was going to wear it, but I think the little black number will work for you."

"I don't want to take your dress. I can put my own back on."

"Don't be silly, I'll wear the red one. I'm a wanton woman in need of her man, don't you know," said Sheila taking her time to chuckle.

"Your clothes may fit, but your underwear and bras definitely won't. I'll just use mine"

"Nonsense, I mean, they won't fit, but you really can't wear anything with the black dress. It shows too bad."

"Not wear anything under the dress. I never, I couldn't. You don't wear anything under it?"

"Nope, or the red one either. Live a little. Just let yourself have fun!"

"I guess. I've never done that."

"Here you can use my spare robe, let's go check on dinner."

*****

As Sheila was putting the finishing touches on the place settings for dinner, she heard a knock at her door.

"Hurry, hide in the bedroom, that way you'll be a surprise."

"Do you think we should?"

"Sure, he'll be overjoyed to see you. He has been wondering even more than I have. You know, you two ...well, you know. He doesn't take that lightly."

As Katy secreted herself in the bedroom, Sheila moved to the front door of the apartment. She was nervous about this night with Alex. Now, she was doubly nervous with Katy being here. She hoped that everything went smoothly. Understanding the value and meaning of her relationship with Alex had been empathized by her interlude with the quarterback. She wanted her Alex back, not the automaton he had become.

"Hi"

"Good evening. You look very nice tonight. Are there going to be more people coming?"

"No! I dressed up for you. Don't you like it? I do have a special surprise for you but tonight is about us. It's our Christmas remember?" Sheila said. She was concerned that Alex did not seem to place much importance in the evening. Now she was really worried about Katy hiding in the bedroom. This was not working right at all!

"You look just fine. I just don't see you dressed-up much is all. Usually you only fix up so much when we are actually going out or entertaining."

"Thank you"

"No problem. I always said you were beautiful. I guess I am not the only one. What's the plan for the evening?" Alex could not resist the little dig. He was unsure about Sheila. He did not trust her and could not bring himself to forgive her completely for leaving him for her tryst with the quarterback.

Sheila looked at Alex, startled. He acted as if he had no idea why he was there or any idea about their plans for the weekend. Things were going badly and she was worried about the direction they were heading.

"This is our weekend. We talked about this. We were going to Celebrate Christmas and spend the weekend together! You forgot? How could you forget? We have been planning this for weeks."

"Sorry, I've been busy with school and work. I need to go back to my apartment. I didn't bring your gifts. I didn't realize we had decided to do this."

"Oh Alex!"

Alex turned toward the door and opened it. "I'm sorry, I'll be right back"

Sheila just stared at Alex as he left through the apartment door. He even slammed it hard as he left. 'How could he forget? What is happening with him? We discussed this. He wasn't paying attention to me at all.' Tears welled in her eyes as she realized she had put so much planning and effort into this weekend for Alex and it meant nothing to him. Sheila was dumbfounded by Alex's actions and in her shock she forgot all about Katy being there. She started as she felt herself pulled into a full hug.

"I heard. I'm so sorry," comforted Katy.

*****

Realizing that is was Katy; she just broke down in sobs. Her entire body shook from the force of her crying. The older woman wrapped her arms tighter around the crying girl and tried to comfort her as best she could. She realized the extent of the gulf that had indeed opened between the couple. Even she was at a loss as to what to do for the both of them.

All she knew was she had to love the both of them, and hope they could work past their problems. Katy knew she had to do what she could to steer them to a true reconciliation. She didn't know how she knew, but she just knew they were meant to be together.

Katy steered the sobbing girl to the couch. As they set down, the upset woman just curled into a human ball as the sobs wracked her body. After comforting her for a few minutes, Katy covered her with the afghan that lay on the back of the couch. Easing off the couch, she headed for the kitchen; she knew what she had to do.

Most all the work for a Christmas feast was done. What it needed now was serving. Katy searched through the cupboards for serving dishes. She was surprised to find several chafing dishes. 'Just perfect, I can serve it without it getting cold' she thought. She busied herself with filling and serving the dinner Sheila had prepared.

Once everything was on the table, chafing dishes lit and everything prepared for dinner, Katy returned to Sheila. She was still curled into a tight fetal position, but the sobbing had stopped. It seemed she had drifted into a light sleep. Katy left her there. She knew that Alex did not live far away, but she realized that he was taking a very long time returning. Trusting in her ability to feel when Alex was near, she left the sleeping woman alone, figuring that a little rest might help her general wellbeing.

******

Alex wondered what was up. Sheila was acting strangely. Where they through? He just wasn't sure. He knew his trust in her was mostly gone and he wondered about the condition of his love. He felt badly about forgetting this was some sort of special weekend.

Vaguely remembering her mentioning it, he'd honestly not been paying attention. It'd come amid her multitude of more apologies. He wasn't really listening to what she was saying. He'd heard it too many times since she'd come back. Words had little meaning to him. Her actions spoke volumes.

He also realized something more than a weekend together was going on. The table was set with three places. That meant someone else would be there. Was she just that dissatisfied with him? It dawned on him that the table was set for more than a simple meal. Sheila had obviously planned on something.

Was it over? How did he feel about it? He found himself more resigned than anything. They'd ended when she left him for the quarterback. Now they were just pretending. He held little hope for them in the future.

Luckily, he had purchased her Christmas presents well ahead of time. He had most all of them long before she left for the other guy. He doubted that he would have felt like shopping for her lately. As he gathered the gifts from their storage places, he wondered about the special gift. It seemed unreal. It was a gift from before the time of her leaving. He had planned to give it to her at Christmas, so as not to distract her from finishing school.

Holding the small black box in his hand, the gift bag for presentation caught his eye. Alex moved to replace the box in the drawer, but stopped. Something in his head told him to carry it with him. Sighing, he placed the little black box in the gift bag. As he slid it into his jacket pocket, he still wondered why bother carrying it with him, since he didn't intend to give it to Sheila now.

As he made his way to the bathroom to clean up and shave, Alex found he was really dreading the night. He didn't want to go and he didn't want to see Sheila. He knew that tonight was the crucial night. Tonight was the night they ended the charade and called it quits for good. He just wasn't in the mood to face it just now.

Without shaving, Alex made his way to his room to telephone Sheila and beg off for the night. He did not feel up to a confrontation tonight. Better later. It still felt like someone was ripping his heart out with a rusty pair of pliers. He dialed the phone number and just put it to his ear when he saw the note that was just in front of the phone. He hung up the phone and picked up the folded piece of paper. The outside said Alex. Even though he had only seen it once before, he recognized the flowing script. It was from his mother or whoever Katy actually was.

Alex,

I know you still have doubts about Sheila. Let me reassure you that you are the only person she has on her mind. She loves you very much. Please find it in your heart to forgive her or at least talk to her and find out what she has in her heart. If you keep punishing her, you'll both become jaded and hard, not the kind loving people that you are. Reconsider your thoughts on her mistake and give her the chance she is begging for.

Katy

Alex laid the note back on the table. Was she right? Did Sheila really love him and regret her actions. He knew everyone could make mistakes. Was he punishing her for his pain or because she made a mistake? What did he really want from her? He had to find out. He hurried to his room and changed into more suitable clothes than he'd worn earlier. If she went to the trouble, he figured she had, than he'd at least looked decent.

'I wonder how Katy knew what I was thinking?' This was just another time that his mother really baffled Alex. He didn't believe in ghosts, but this was too weird. Yet he realized that he was following her direction to reconcile with Sheila. Maybe that was what he really wanted anyway.

*****

Katy gently shook Sheila's shoulder, to wake her. Stirring she raised her head to look at Katy.

"Sorry, I guess fell asleep. Oh God! Alex is coming over soon!"

"It's ok. I have everything ready. You go get yourself cleaned up a little and fix your face. Alex is on his way."

"Oh! I must look a fright. What time is it?" Sheila cut her eyes to the wall clock on the opposite wall. She wailed, "Oh! God! It's been an hour. He's not coming back. What am I going to do? Katy what am I going to do? I love him so much and I've lost him!"

"Calm down. He is on his way as we speak. If you want for him to see you like that, ok I guess, but I would go clean up a little."

"How do you know he is...? Okay, I see what you mean. I'll be right back."

Sheila rushed to the bathroom to wash her face. She repaired the damage her crying had caused to her makeup the best she could. She brushed her hair to get it back into place. Lying on her hair had done a not so nice number on it, so she had to resort to some hairspray to keep her hair as she wanted it. When she felt she was again 'presentable', she hurried back to the dining area.

When Sheila arrived back at the dining area, she was amazed at what Katy had done. Everything was perfect. It looked like a table prepared for a feast. She noticed that one of the place settings had been removed.

" It's lovely Katy. Thank you so much! You did forget something though."

"What? Oh the wine, I'm sorry, I get it right now."

"No, not the wine. I mean we do need to get it, but that was not what I meant."

"What then?"

"Why are there only two place settings now?"

"I thought you and Alex needed to do this alone."

"No, you've helped me in ways you cannot imagine. Being here and talking to me. You stay and eat with us. I know Alex will be glad to see you. If not for you, we'd never have made it back this far. I have a feeling that it's you that will help us get the rest of the way back."

"Are you sure? I don't really need to eat and I am good at making myself scarce."

"Yes, I am. I don't want to hear any more about it. You stay. Eat if you can or at the very least be company for us both."

"Ok, I really can just disappear. I mean really disappear!"

"No you don't. You're here now and you stay. When Alex comes, I will blindfold him. Then we'll play with him a little while. Your dress will feel just like mine in the dark. Plant a big wet one on him when I say"

"Got it!"

The knocking at the apartment door interrupted their discussion. Katy rushed in to bedroom as Sheila headed for the door. As soon as she was sure that Katy was out of sight, she opened the door.

Alex stood outside the door and wondered why it was taking so long to answer the door. Maybe Sheila was pissed because of the way he left. He should've brought some flowers. All he had was the bag of gifts. He hoped Katy was right and this night wasn't going to be a total waste.

As the door opened, Sheila was surprised to see that Alex had changed clothes and looked like he had cleaned up some before coming over. He had a bag in his hand that clearly contained her gifts. She opened the door wide for him to come in.

"Come on in Santa!"

"Thank you. Sorry I took so long. Something came up."

"I'm just glad you're here. Thank you for coming back. I wasn't really worried about presents. You're the best present of all," stated Sheila, telling the whole truth. Anything he might give her would be minor compared to his love and letting her back in his life. She realized just how much she loved the man.

"Here, these are for you." Alex said as he handed Sheila the bag of presents.

"Thank you. I'll just put them over here under the tree until after dinner."

"I see the table is set for three. Who's coming? I thought you said that this to do was just for us?"

"Something unexpected came up. We'll have a surprise guest. In fact it's getting about time for your surprise."

Alex paused as he was removing his coat, and looked at Sheila. "Surprise, you didn't say anything about a surprise. What's going on?"

"It was a bit of a surprise to me as well, but you'll enjoy it, I promise you."

"Okay, what is it? Where is it or he?"

"He? Did I say it was a he?"

"Look, I know it's the quarterback. You don't have to hide him any more. I'll take it in good grace. Do I get to stay for dinner at least?"

"Quarterback? Is that what you thought? Did you think I invited you here to break up with you or share you with him? Is that why you have acted so strange?"

"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I mean who else would it be? Unless you're trying to set me up with someone else."

"Oh God NO, Alex!" exclaimed Sheila. "I want you here to keep you. I didn't invite someone for you to meet and it damn sure isn't the quarterback"

"I'm sorry. I jumped to conclusions. The extra place setting rather threw me for a loop. Who is it then?"

Sheila reached to the coat rack and withdrew the light scarf she kept there. Folding it several times, she created an effective blindfold.

"Come here then and let me get you ready for your surprise."

Alex approached Sheila with trepidation. 'What kind of surprise requires me to be blindfolded?' he wondered. Still he bent to allow her to affix the scarf. 'If it was really that bad she would just show me and not go through all this trouble.'

"Can you see?"

"No, it's dark in here. What's this surprise? What're you doing?"

Sheila looked up to see if Katy was paying attention. To her surprise, she was practically standing right there with them. She motioned for her to follow her lead. Katy nodded her head in understanding.

Sheila started running her hands all around Alex's upper body. As always, she delighted in the feeling of his firm upper body. Even through the shirt he wore, he was sexy. She reached up and started to nuzzle his neck. As she started to kiss him, he moved his hands around her and pulled her in tight to his body.

Sheila twisted out of his grasp and rolled around his body to his back running her hands all around his shirt and dipping down to his waist, just teasing him. She removed her hands from Alex and motioned with her head to Katy.

Katy took Sheila's place hugged up to Alex's back and running her hands all over his chest and down his stomach. Then she rolled over to his front, completing the circle that Sheila had started. She reached and nuzzled at Alex's neck. Then she planted the best, wettest kiss she knew how on him.

*****

Alex knew immediately that this wasn't Sheila. For one thing, she was shorter and she kissed different. He wrapped his arms around the unknown woman and discovered that it felt just like the dress that Sheila was wearing. Was she just faking him out? She did feel slightly cooler than before, as if she had been outside briefly. Had Sheila had time to jump outside? Alex didn't think so. Then the cool sensation dawned on him.

"Katy? What are you doing here?"

"I'm just here for your and Sheila's pleasure sweetheart!"

Katy planted her lips back on Alex and she tried desperately to find his tonsils with her tongue. Seeing how the surprise was up, Sheila removed Alex's blindfold and joined them in a three way hug, eventually working her mouth to Alex's as Katy took a breather. The embrace showed no signs of ending.

Katy felt like a voyeur. 'How could these two kids doubt themselves?' she thought. "Come on kids, your dinner won't last forever. Sheila worked too hard on it to let it go to waste."

Sheila and Alex broke their kiss and looked at Katy somewhat sheepishly

"Sorry. I guess we got carried away."

"That's understandable Alex, but dinner is a waiting. You two have a seat and I will serve. I haven't served a dinner to anyone in a very long time."

Alex let Sheila lead him to the table that held a veritable Christmas feast. He held her chair for as she was seated. He went to hold Katy's chair, but she waived him away.

"I'm serving remember. It is easier to do that standing."

"Ok" replied Alex. He made his way to the chair indicated by Sheila. This put Alex at the head of the table. As he settled in, he saw Katy begin to dish up the food. She gave good-sized portions to both Sheila and he. He saw that she gave herself much smaller portions. Then it dawned on him that Katy might not eat.

"Can you eat?"

"I don't know. We will find out shortly won't we? I'm going to try."

As Katy dished up the last serving of cranberry sauce to the two lovers, she seated herself at the side opposite of Sheila. She picked up her wine glass and extended it toward Alex for him to fill it with wine. After Alex finished filling Katy's glass, Sheila offered hers. When both women had been served their wine, he filled his own glass. He raised his glass in the air toward the center of the table.

"To good friends"

"I hope so, to good friends," offered Sheila.

"To those I love." offered Katy, as she raised her glass to meet the others.

"To those we love," rejoined Alex as he brought his glass to his lips to sip the wine they were using for the toast. It tasted good and gave his mouth a delightful feeling.

*****

Alex immediately picked up his fork to attack the turkey on his plate. He always loved turkey and looked forward to the holidays. Sheila had truly fixed a feast for their Christmas Weekend. He appreciated all the time and effort she'd expended. He hoped that maybe this weekend would be a forward turning point in their relationship. Their last several months had not been good ones.

Alex was still surprised to see Katy here. He was unsure of who or what she was. He could see her and so could Sheila. Apparently, the two women were very comfortable because they both seemed at ease with one another. He saw her slowly and gingerly eating. Could ghosts eat? Was she really some kind of a kook who knew a lot and meant well?

*****

As they were coming to the end of the enjoyable meal, Alex's curiosity finally got the better of him.

"Katy, it was certainly a surprise to see you. I hope you've been well, but I do have a couple of questions if you feel like it?"

"Go ahead. First off, I pretty much always feel the same. Never sick, but never really all there. It is very difficult to explain, but I'll try."

"First off; Are you really my mother and how is that possible? Are you a ghost?"

"The best way I can answer that is yes, the story I told you at Halloween was mine and for want of a better term yes."

"I don't understand."

Since she'd heard much of the story before, Sheila excused herself. As it appeared that everyone was finished eating, she figured to get a head start on cleanup while Katy filled Alex in on the how's and why's of her existence. She held his complete attention allowing Sheila to take care of the cleanup with no interference. Of course, that meant no help either, but she didn't mind. Katy had done most of the serving in bowls and containers that transferred directly to the refrigerator.

"So because you love me, and now Sheila, you can appear to us. How about anyone else?"

"I don't really know. I never tried. The people at the Halloween party could see me, but I was there for you, so I don't know if that matters. It's not as if they give you a handbook or anything. It's all pretty much trial and error."

"Well, I for one have enjoyed your visit. I wish I knew why you're here. I never got to know you. Are you going to be around for a while this time? You left abruptly on Halloween."

"As far as I know, Halloween seems to have certain qualities. Lots of spirits and such passing between your world and other worlds that day. There are limitations on that day. Any other day except spring solstice seems to be wide open with no restrictions."

"I'm glad you're here Katy. This afternoon was wonderful. I haven't had a friend to talk to in too long." chimed in Sheila. "It's nice to have a girl friend. Just to talk about girly stuff and do girly things. Let's go into the living room, I have some brandy."

As Alex made his way to the living room, Sheila pulled Katy to the kitchen. As she pulled out the brandy and some glasses, she asked, "Did eating go OK? Were you able to enjoy it? Was it hard?"

"No, surprisingly it was just like eating when I was alive. It tasted wonderful Sheila. I feel full. I just don't experience huger any more I guess. It seems my body works like it always did. I feel more alive than I can remember, since I... You know!"

"Cool. I was just concerned you were forcing yourself for our sakes. I really don't want anything to happen to you. I've enjoy having you here too much for something bad to happen. I feel like I've known you all my life."

"Thank you. I have known you most of your life. Remember I have been watching Alex since he was a child. That means I've been watching you a lot too, whenever you were with him."

"Oh God! Does that mean you were watching when we...you know? You were watching then?"

"Yes I was. I guess I've become a bit of a voyeur. I really enjoyed it, too. I won't lie, that was one of the best times to watch. You two are hot together."

"Well we used to be. It's not the same any more."

"That's what I'm here to fix. That's what this weekend is all about isn't it? We're gong to get it right again. I promise!"

Sheila wrapped Katy in a caring hug. Katy returned the hug with equal vigor.

"Let's get this out to Alex. I do love you and I'm so glad you're here."

"Let the party begin!"

*****

Both women made their way to the living room where Alex had established himself on the couch.

"I was starting to wonder! Everything OK?"

"Just great! Sheila and I were having a little girl talk while we were getting the brandy."

"Okay. Is it a big secret?"

"No, Sheila was concerned about me eating and drinking. I told her I was fine. I still don't know how many things work. Apparently eating and drinking are something that I can still do."

"It's been so long, I'd think you'd know quite a lot about things like that."

"You would, wouldn't you? However, no, I really don't. Much of what I know is because of trial and error. Many things have just not come up. I don't need to eat so it hasn't come up before. For many years, I just wandered around doing nothing but watching people when I wasn't watching you. I didn't interact with them, just watched."

"Alex, quit asking so many questions. Enjoy Katy's company and let it go at that."

"You're right. There's just so many questions. I guess we don't have to answer them all tonight. You are coming back aren't you?"

"Sure I will."

"Who said she was going anywhere right now? She's going to get comfortable with us and watch a movie."

Sheila sat down on one side of Alex on the couch. Katy took the other. As she settled in, the younger woman worked her way under Alex's right arm, grabbing it and pulling it across her chest. Alex allowed her to snuggle in and in fact enjoyed the closeness.

Resting his hand on her outermost breast, he could feel her nipple start to harden. He still had reservations about their relationship, but he did miss their closeness and snuggle time. He realized that she was working hard at staying together, but he still having trouble with her having left.

*****

Katy was aware of what was happening on the other side of Alex. She also sensed his slight hesitation. Somehow, she had to figure out a way for the bond that had once existed between the two to be reborn and even strengthened. Formulating a radical plan in her head, she snuggled in closer to Alex. She repeated Sheila's actions, lifting Alex's arm around her and bringing it across her chest. Just as before, this caused Alex's hand to settle in resting on the top and side of her outer breast. Katy could feel her nipples harden at his touch.

As Alex became aware of where his hand was resting on Katy, he started to move it and apologize.

"Gee Katy, I 'm sorry. I didn't mean to get fresh. It was accidental."

Looking Alex directly in the eye, Katy corrected him. "It wasn't accidental at all!"

The stricken look on Alex's face caused her to smile and take pity on him.

"It's exactly where I put it. I didn't cause any accident at all. I want you there."

Relief flooded Alex's features initially, before confusion replaced the earlier stricken look.

"You mean...?"

"Yes, I do. I may have been your mother when I was alive, but now I'm just in love with you. You're my lover as of Halloween, and I fully intend to keep you as such, whenever I can."

Alex smiled at Katy but turned to his girlfriend to see if she'd noticed or not. He found Sheila looking at him intently and smiling.

"We decided we can share you. I'm fine with it. Enjoy it Alex, two beautiful women want you!"

"If you're both ok with it, I intend to!"

All three lovers settled back into a comfortable silence as they watched the movie. Each was lost in their own thoughts. About half way through the movie, Katy shifted some under Alex's arm. She grabbed his hand, directed it inside the bodice of her dress, and left him feeling her yielding titflesh. Alex noticed just how hard her nipples were. He gently squeezed and kneaded the mass of flesh accompanied by quiet whimpers from Katy.

*****

Sheila was almost paying more attention to the interaction between Katy and Alex than she was the movie. Then again, the purpose of this weekend was to cement their relationship, not watch movies. She knew that her new lover did not intend to steal Alex. Her feelings for him fell somewhere between son and lover. She was also head cheerleader in the effort to get the two of them back together tournament. Still Sheila did not intend to be a spectator in the evening's activities.

Slipped out from under Alex's arm, she could tell that all his attention was currently directed at Katy. He failed to notice the change. As she leaned to the right and slightly forward, she caught Katy's attention with her eyes. Katy smiled even bigger and nodded her head. Sheila performed the necessary operations to get both of her arms through the spaghetti straps of her dress, pealing it down her torso, exposing her from the waist up.

When she settled back into Alex's arm, he did notice the change. The all skin contact definitely drew his attention away from his fondling of Katy. Alex looked at Sheila, silently questioning her actions.

"I want a little loving too. The dress was just in the way, so I got it out of the way. We're all very close friends here. Do I embarrass you? I know Katy is fine with it."

As she was saying this, Alex did look to the woman on his left to judge her reaction to Sheila's undressing. As he was turning, he noticed Katy wiggling out from under his arm and standing up. He figured it'd all gone too far and she was either leaving or about to give them both what for. Katy slid the sheath dress over her head, exposing herself fully to him and Sheila, surprised Alex.

"Does it look like I have a problem with it? Notice anything different Alex?"

Alex focused his attention on Katy looking for whatever was different. He immediately recognized that she was fully shaved, where when he had last seen her she was all-natural.

"You shaved?"

"Give the man a cigar. Actually, Sheila shaved me this afternoon."

"I guess you were doing girly things then. Maybe you all were doing a little more than shaving?"

"I'll never tell. A lady does not discuss her love life, except with her lover."

Sheila rose from the couch and forced her own clingy garment past her slim hips. Soon she was just as bare as Katy. Turning fully to the remaining occupant on the couch, she said," I don't think you guys are watching the movie at all. Why don't we adjourn to the bedroom?"

"Good idea! What do you think Alex?"

Alex actually took a moment to look between the two beauties standing naked in front of him. He didn't really believe what he was seeing before him. The girl he had loved for more years than he cared to remember and the woman who was both his mother and his lover, both standing before him naked as jaybirds asking if wanted to join them in the bedroom.

"Oh Hell yes! But I'm a little overdressed!"

"Don't worry; we'll take care of that!" said Katy taking his hand leading him toward the bedroom.

*****

Sheila started toward the direction of the bedroom, and then detoured toward the table next to the door. Grabbing what she wanted, she hurried after the pair already entering her bedroom. She intended to help to take care of Alex's excess clothes. When she arrived, Katy had just positioned him sitting on the bed.

"Take care of his shoes and socks first!"

Katy looked at Sheila's smile to try to determine what she had in mind. She'd never been involved in a threesome before and thought that maybe the younger woman had a plan.

The blonde-haired woman moved further into the room, but did not approach the couple. Alex was curious as well, but his questioning look was simply met with Sheila's Cheshire cat grin. Katy completed taking off his shoes and socks, then pulled him to a standing position.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sheila's reflection in the dresser mirror. The young woman was making a circling motion with her right index finger. Katy nodded as she realized what she wanted. Grabbing Alex by his shoulders, she repositioned him facing her but with his back toward Sheila.

Sheila made no move toward the couple, content just watching as her new lover undressed Alex. Katy looked around him toward Sheila for further instructions. Remaining where she was, she nodded her head for Katy to continue to undress Alex. Katy was unsure where exactly they were headed, but figured to continue until she received instructions to the contrary.

Once she'd removed his shirt, Katy took a moment to kiss his now exposed nipples. As she was doing this, she began unbuckling his pants. When Katy had to pull away to see what she was doing manipulating Alex's zipper, Sheila made her first definitive move. Sheila rushed up behind Alex and put her arms around him from the back, pressing her breasts into his naked back. Alex started, then relaxed in the new embrace. Katy meanwhile had negotiated his slacks and begun pulling them down his legs. Alex lifted his legs in order to facilitate the removal of his pants.

As Katy moved to pull Alex's briefs down, Sheila laid a hand on her shoulder. Stopping her motion and looking up at the younger woman, Sheila brought her right hand up, meeting her left. Katy saw that is was holding some kind of dark material. After a moment, she recognized it as the scarf that had been used earlier to hide Alex's eyes.

"What the...?"

"Relax. This is about you and both of us want you to enjoy it. I don't want you worrying about who is doing what and if it's okay with Katy or me. This way you can't tell and you'll enjoy it fully."

"Okay, I guess. I thought this was about us."

"It is, but to start it is going to be about you. Until you feel how much you're loved, you will always be unsure about us. Don't argue. Just enjoy."

"If that is what you want. Okay, I guess, but it feels weird not being able to see and touch you."

"Who said anything about touching? You just can't tell whether it's Katy or I. I want lots of touching," replied Sheila as she slapped Alex on his ass.

Alex smiled," If that's what milady wants. Who am I to argue?"

"Damn straight mister. Now climb your ass on that bed."

Alex knee walked to what he figured was the center of the bed, and then lay down on his back. He figured if he couldn't see that he'd let the women direct the action.

*****

Sheila drew Katy to her for a warm embrace. She noticed that both the older woman's nipples were very hard and erect. She wasn't sure but it seemed that her lover was warmer overall than she'd been. She bent her head and sought Katy's mouth.

Katy welcomed Sheila's kiss, returning it with vigor. Their tongues danced with each other, each striving to dominate the other in some small way. Katy pulled tighter to Sheila; it had been so long since she'd been held in the loving embrace of another woman. She'd held Alex for a short time at Halloween, but before that, it stretched to a time when she was still single.

"Ah! Hello? Did you all just leave me here alone?" queried Alex. He could still hear the two women, but he was having trouble distinguishing where exactly they were. He knew he could remove the blindfold, but it was Sheila's game and he decided to let her play.

"We'll be with you in a moment. Just think about what we are going to do with you. If you fuss we will leave you there." Sheila teased. She knew they did not intend to leave Alex alone. His cock was already starting to rise to the occasion. It was not fully hard, but it was definitely on its way. Sheila had seen porno flicks, so she knew that Alex was not hung like a horse.

She also knew that he was better endowed than the quarterback with which she'd made her mistake. He was certainly long enough and was wider than many she'd seen. He fit her well and that was all that mattered to her. She'd heard girls talking. She wanted nothing to do with a monster cock. She preferred Alex's more normal sized cock with the loving and caring he used.

Sheila broke away from Katy, leaving her surprised. She went to the bottom drawer of her highboy and rummaged in the back of it. She'd made a purchase long ago of some toys to try, but she'd never used them. They were supposed to be a surprise for Alex, but then bad times hit and they still sat in the drawer where she'd first stored them.

She turned around displaying four sets of fur-lined cuffs. Two looked much like regular sized cuffs but two were closer to two feet in length. As she held them up, Katy gasped. She'd seen but never imagined using such a thing. Seeing the shock that registered on Katy's face, Sheila pondered a moment. She looked at Alex, shaking her head, as if deciding something. Quietly, so as to not give away their existence, she laid the longer cuffs back in the drawer.

Sheila handed one pair to a still astonished Katy and mimed how to operate them. Then she moved over to the opposite side of the bed. Gently she grabbed hold of Alex's left hand and wrist. He started at the contact but did not fight as Sheila secured the fur-lined cuff to his wrist. There were a million unasked questions crossing and lining his face, however. Katy followed her lovers lead and snapped the cuff around the other wrist.

Sheila knee walked onto the bed pulling Alex's arm up to the headboard. In the center of the bed was an area that was supposed to be decorative, but it would serve her purpose nicely as a place to attach the cuffs. After snapping the loose end of her cuff to the headboard, she held out her hand for the lose end of the other cuff. Katy pulled the cuff end to Sheila, moving Alex's arm parallel to his left. When both cuffs were fastened, Sheila slid down the bed to Alex's chest.

Sheila began to lick and suck on Alex's nipple. Alex ohhed and ahhed at her ministrations. He did not have the heart, as he had not with Katy, to tell her that he really derived no special pleasure from having his nipples played with. Katy moved to cover Alex's mouth with her own. Soon Sheila's attention to his nipples was almost forgotten as he enjoyed the pleasures of petite brunette's mouth. Katy positioned herself alongside of Alex, much as his girlfriend had done. Alex was in heaven. His two favorite women were there with him and each were cuddling him close to their naked bodies.

Sheila continued to work her way down Alex's body; laving it with kisses as she went. She is determined to leave no area on the left side of Alex's body untouched. She spent a little extra time playing in, about, and around his navel. Extending her tongue, she French kissed his navel repeatedly. Alex is soon squirming, as this is exquisite torture bordering between tickling and making him even hotter than he was already.

.As Sheila passed his waist; she slowed down her pace and increased the nipping she had been doing with her lips. Stopping to remove his briefs, she rid Alex from the last of his clothing. She hadn't yet touched his throbbing cock. She is sorely tempted as it bobbed and shuddered in reaction to her attentions.

*****

Feeling no desire to be left out of this sensual smorgasbord, Katy is very intent on covering every square inch of Alex's right side with the same type of kisses and nips that Sheila had laved on his left, Knowing that he was extremely ticklish, she spent a little more time playing with his side. Keeping herself to that fine line between tickling and causing pleasure, Katy nipped, kissed, and tongued her way to his belly button.

Proceeding to lick a large circle around the little divot of his belly button, she continued licking for some time, slowly bringing the circle smaller and smaller with each successive pass. Eventually she was spiraling the taut skin that surrounding the circle of his belly button. She didn't just French kiss his belly button, she licked and slurped the entire area with her tongue, leaving it sloppy wet.

*****

Alex pulled at the restraints above his head as the women continued their exquisite torture. Neither woman had touched his cock, and he is partially glad. They had brought him to the brink of explosion with their loving caresses and kisses. He knew that as soon as someone touched his cock he would explode. While that would bring a much-needed release, he was also enjoying their play. No one had ever paid this much attention to him. It was in some ways annoying, and the anticipation was killing him, but he would change nothing.

Sheila slowed her advance down his legs allowing Katy to catch up with her. The women moved in tandem down their respective legs. Both women reached Alex's feet at the same time. As if on cue, both women ended their ministrations and stood up. They moved from the bed to have a hurried conference in the doorway of the bathroom.

"Hey! Don't leave me alone here! Sheila? Katy?"

"We'll be right back sweetie! Just give us a second," answered Katy.

*****

Both women snickered as they moved into the bathroom and closed the door. They knew Alex was securely fastened. Sheila doubted that he would actually try to escape anyway. She ran a sink of warm water and the women freshened themselves up. Both were sopping wet, but they sought to give Alex as little to go on as possible to distinguish between the two. They both figured that in very short order they would both be soaked again.

Sheila opened the medicine cabinet and found her favorite spray perfume. She spritzed some at her neck, underarms, cleavage and a little in her pubic area above her mound, where her hair would be, if she had any.

Handing the perfume bottle to Katy, her new friend mimicked her movements until she got to her pubic area. She sprayed either inner thigh as opposed to above her pubic area. Once the women were satisfied with their toilet, they hurried back to the bed that held the bound Alex. Returning, they found that he hadn't moved and actually appeared in a light doze.

The women looked at each other and smiled. Alex dozing was actually ok. First off, it showed how much trusted them. Secondly, it allowed his high state of excitement to wane a little, allowing the women more play time before his first eruption. They both had plans to experience more than one explosion from Alex this evening.

Switching the sides that they had previously occupied, both women snuggled into Alex. It was Sheila's turn to smother him with kisses on and around his mouth. At her touch, Alex started and returned to consciousness. Meanwhile, Katy went to work on his neck and ear.

"I was wondering where you two had gone."

"We had to freshen up a little."

"You seem plenty fresh to me. By the way, you both smell good."

"Why thank you. Katy borrowed some of my perfume."

Katy leaned into to Alex's mouth making it a kind of three-way kiss. They were all trying to kiss each other at the same time. Meeting with only limited success, the situation brought a rash of giggles from the women.

"Ok, that doesn't work so well."

"I thought it was working just fine, myself," said Alex as he was trying to keep a straight face with the giggling women.

"You would! Well then let's try this again," Sheila replied as she met Katy's mouth in a passionate kiss.

"Hey, you can include me!" cried Alex since he could tell the two women were kissing above him. He tried to raise his head up to meet the connected mouths, with only limited success.

*****

Katy, spying Alex straining to reach their mouths, eased the kiss further down within his reach. The awkward three-way kiss resumed. This time a clearly growing passion involved. Sheila pulled away from the kiss, moving down Alex's body, kissing and nipping at his warm skin on her way to his rejuvenated cock. Katy took full advantage of the other woman's absence to take over Alex's mouth fully in soul-searching kisses.

His time of waiting had lessened Alex's need, but he was again rampant. Sheila nipped at his pubic hair and all around his standing cock. As she was circling his cock, she moved down the bed so that she was between his legs. Sensing where she was heading, Alex opened his legs wide to allow her access to his physical symbol of manhood.

Settling in to the apex of his spread legs, Sheila took first one then the other of his balls in her mouth. She always enjoyed the smooth, warm, slightly mushy feeling of his sack in her mouth. Knowing from past experiences that Alex really enjoyed this, she lingered at his scrotum, alternating between either ball, lightly sucking each then changing. Sometimes she wondered why she enjoyed sucking his wrinkled little sack and his balls so much. Was it because he enjoyed it or because she did: Sheila suspected it was a little of both.

During Sheila's exploration of Alex's private parts, Katy was not idle. She was again bathing him in warm and loving kisses up and down his torso. As she moved to his pubic area, she could see the blonde was deeply engaged in sucking his ball sack. Figuring it was time for her to have some fun; she engulfed his cock almost completely without any warning. Bringing a delighted 'oomph' from Alex was music to her ears as she ran her tongue all around the head and shaft of his hard cock.

Giving blowjobs was something she enjoyed, when not forced to do it. Her ex-husband had taught her well, but he was rough and demanding, where Alex was appreciative and excited. Her pleasure in her work was rewarded when he began to move his hips in time to her motion up and down on his cock.

All this early sexual foreplay had Katy extremely excited and ready for more. Remembering Alex's talented tongue from Halloween, she repositioned herself to straddle of his head. She hoped he would not be offended at her being more aggressive.

That was something she could never be with her ex. His needs were the only ones of importance to him, but she sensed that things would be very different with Alex. Her actions were rewarded almost immediately as he dove into her offered sex, with the enthusiasm of a starving man. Katy oohed and aahed around a mouthful of cock at the delightful sensations that her lover was sending coursing through her body.

*****

For his part, Alex couldn't think of a more sensual feeling than he had right now. There was one mouth engulfing almost is entire cock, using their tongue to do wondrous things to the head and shaft. By itself, this would have been enough to send him to heaven.

However, it didn't stop there. Sheila was making love to his balls as only she could. Even with the blindfold, there was no s doubt that Sheila was the one delightfully massaging and exploring his balls. No one else would do it so thoroughly, with so much apparent delight and with so much love.

He knew that soon she would leave her wondrous play to head for more shared play. He could feel her riding his ankle and foot as she played. While he doubted she would be able to get off that way, he was sure she was getting sexually hotter than she already was.

Having his mouth full of the pussy above him, just capped off the pleasure Alex was enjoying. Briefly, he wondered why Sheila bothered with the blindfold. It did not take much to figure who was where. He understood the women wanted him to enjoy himself and he was doing his best to do so. Still there was no mystery to him.

The gushing pussy above him was different from his girlfriends. Having smaller outer and inner lips was readily apparent. As their play increased, the little nub of Katy's clitoris grew. As she got more and more excited, it became very erect sticking out of its hood almost a quarter inch, like a very small penis. From long experience, Alex knew that Sheila's, even when excited, tended to lie along the furrow and hide within its cover.

*****

There's a difference between sexually ignorant and inexperienced. In Katy's years since she died, she had observed the many variations of sexual practices among others. She had realized she was a bit of a voyeur. Tonight was a first for her. She had encountered little opportunity to enjoy variations from a standard blowjob or missionary sex in her short life.

Never imagining that she would again experience sexual fervor, this was her first '69', much less her first involvement in a threesome. Alex's knowing tongue and lips on her sex was taking her to places she'd never imagined. Katy was already experiencing a series of small orgasms. Though there were few outward signs of her coming, she enjoyed the small flashes immensely just the same.

*****

Sheila could feel that Alex was heading toward an intense explosion. She was herself as hot as she ever remembered being. Riding his foot kept her at a sexual peak without allowing her to crash over into her own orgasm. She knew that as excited as she was that his foot was awash in her juices. Knowing what an excellent tongue Alex possessed, she could guess through her speed and actions that Katy was not far from her own orgasm. The view from her vantage point was exciting as the brunette was clearly giving a show in her activities.

Being a little greedy, she released his balls and moved up to his cock. She wanted to taste his cock before he orgasmed the first time. Kissing and nipping her way up from his balls, Sheila moved into the space on Alex's cock that Katy freed on the upstroke. Seeing her other lover's presence on his cock, the brunette reduced the length of her stokes until she was taking little more than his plum shaped head into her mouth. Although she'd reduced her stoking to allow Sheila playing room, she increased to a more frenzied pace in her tongue action.

*****

Feeling the change in Katy's mouth stroking action, Alex as first wondered what caused it. Then he realized that there were now two mouths working on this cock. Even tough he was enjoying his extensive ball wash; the new sensation was close to perfect. His excitement climbed even higher when the women started to alternate between which one was taking his cock deep in her mouth. He could tell by the different angle of insertion which one had his cock at a particular moment.

One lover would take him almost to the root of his cock, then pull off and then the other would repeat the action. Sometimes there was a little pause in the action; Alex correctly surmised that the pauses were the women stopping for a little kissing action between them. He certainly did not mind. He could never recall being in such a highly erotic and mind-blowing position.

*****

As her orgasm approached, Katy slowed her ministrations to Alex's cock letting Sheila have more and more time with it. She eventually leaned back totally on his mouth, riding him hard and allowing him to capture her hard little nub in his lips. Without missing a stroke, Sheila gladly assumed full cocksucking duties. She was ready for Alex to fill her mouth with some of his cream. Normally she didn't suck him to completion, but the highly charged atmosphere and her desire to please him over-rode any hesitation she had to taking a mouth full of his come.

Moaning loudly into Katy's sliding pussy, Alex tried to warn Sheila that he was about to erupt. Of course, this was unnecessary both because she'd both sensed and seen the indicators of his impending orgasm. Add into this that she fully intended to take all he had to offer, she only increased the fervor of her sucking. She added more tongue action to the little rim on the underside of his cock head.

With her free hand, she began to massage his balls gently, encouraging him to cum and cum hard. Alex's moaning only increased the stimulation to Katy's excited pussy. She ceased to slide on his wonderful mouth, changing to an ever-increasing pressure on his lips and tongue where they were actively involved with her clit.

With the stimulation becoming too much for Alex, he exploded into a massive orgasm. His entire body went rigid as his cock pulsed repeatedly into Sheila's hungry mouth. The volume was such that she had to swallow quickly to avoid choking on his massive discharge. Amazed at the amount and force of his cumming, Sheila found that she was enjoying taking all of his seed in her mouth.

In fact, the force and pleasure of his coming triggered a small come in Sheila. She'd never before had any type of orgasm when giving a blowjob. As his explosion slowed, so did her swallowing, when she decided there were other things she could do with the mouthful of his cum.

*****

As he went into orgasm, Alex sucked on her clit hard, crashing Katy over the edge. To say she had a massive orgasm, would have been an extreme understatement. Her legs tightened around Alex's head squeezing him tight, as her body followed his in going rigid in the force of her orgasm. She seemed to stop breathing for just a moment, the intensity just too much. Alex joined her as she had him clamped so tight between her legs she was allowing no breathing for him either.

Moments later as the extreme intensity of her orgasm passed, Katy relaxed. She took a deep breath forcing the air back into her body. As she relaxed, she released the pressure between her legs. Her release of pressure brought an immediate large breath form Alex. She could both hear and feel his large intake of breath. His big breath caused Katy to snicker a little.

*****

Not wanting to slow the festivities and ready for her own strong orgasm, Sheila quickly scrambled from between Alex's legs. Straddling his crotch, she lined herself up and came down on his still rigid cock. She wanted to get full use of it before it went soft following his orgasm. Sheila was so wet and excited from the build-up of anticipation that she engulfed his entire cock in one plunge into her warm and dark cavern.

Alex groaned aloud at the sudden plunge of his cock in the hot, wet, and tight confines of his girlfriend's pussy. His moan bringing Katy back to the present, she looked at her new lover who again was sporting something like her Cheshire cat grin. Katy leaned forward to kiss her hard on the mouth and soon got her own surprise.

Sheila had been waiting for Katy to kiss her, just like that. As they kissed and her lover's tongue sought out her own tongue, she surprised her lover with a mouthful of Alex's cum being force fed into her mouth. Surprised at first, but finding it immensely sensual and exciting, Katy moaned her pleasure. She continued her lip lock with Sheila.

Even though their mutual orgasms, while Alex had slowed him action on Katy's pussy, he'd never stopped. He continued to give her long, hard slow licks. Starting at her asshole, he would swipe his tongue along the length of her slit all the way to her clit. Then he would reverse direction covering the same ground all the way back to her asshole. This was extremely pleasurable and new to Katy. She had never before had anyone lick her asshole. She found it a wonderful experience.

It only took a few strokes on Alex's hard cock for Sheila to be at the brink of a massive orgasm. She was surprised that after coming he'd remained hard. As she pushed herself up and down, traveling almost the entire length of his rampant cock, Sheila knew that she'd not be long in coming. She wrapped her arms around Katy and squeezed her hard. As the near moment of rapture came on Sheila, she released her from the tight hug.

Not even thinking about it, Katy immediately slid down, dislodging Alex from her pussy. She was however, not concentrating on her pleasure now; she was intent on helping her new lover achieve a thunderous orgasm. Having seen the results earlier in their shower, Katy latched her lips and mouth onto Sheila's clit. When she sucked hard, Sheila exploded. Slamming down hard on Alex's cock, she froze all motion. She did not have a need to move. With Alex's hard cock throbbing inside her and Katy sucking hard on her clit, they finished taking her up and over the crest.

Sheila had only experienced multiple orgasms once before, but she knew what the waves of pleasure were now. She remained frozen in almost all movement except for the uncontrollable spasms of her body, riding the crest as peak after peak ravished her body. Realizing that Sheila was having multiple orgasms, Katy remained attached mouth to clit with her newfound lover. Her years of voyeurism had at least taught her to recognize what was happening.

Alex buried beneath the two bodies could only hold his cock as high and firm as he could from the position he was in. He continued to kiss and lick at Katy's lower stomach since that was all he could reach right now. Having no use of his hands severely hampered his ability to participate in the current situation. Even with the limitations, the spasms in Sheila's pussy brought him right back to the brink of orgasm. As she gripped his cock hard with her pussy, Alex found himself exploding again; this time in the warm confines of Sheila's grasping pussy.

Following an almost violent series of convulsions, Sheila began relaxing. As she relaxed, she sunk deeper still on Alex's cock. Sensing that she was coming down from her high, the older woman released her clit and sat back up on Alex's face. He took the reposition in stride and resumed his gentle licking of her pussy and asshole.

Sheila leaned forward embracing Katy and seeking her mouth. The two lovers remained glued together at the mouth for some time. They each sought the pleasure and reassurance of love that the kiss conveyed. For the first time in a long time, Sheila felt loved. Even though her immediate close connection was with Katy, she was sure that Alex was again feeling her expression of love as she squeezed his still firm cock within her pussy.

As much as she was enjoying her embrace with Sheila, Katy gradually disengaged herself to slide off Alex and away from Sheila. As she slid out from between the pair, Sheila collapsed onto Alex. Immediately seeking out his mouth, surprised at the taste, she realized it was Katy's pussy all over Alex's face. Like a cat to milk, she licked all of Katy's pussy juice from his face.

When Katy eased out away from the two lovers, she herself felt better than she could ever remember feeling. Remembering a latch looking item, she'd seen when she attached the cuff to Alex's wrist; she reached and found it again. It was indeed a release and she proceeded to release both of Alex's wrists.

Alex wrapped his left arm around Sheila who was still lying atop of him. He didn't immediately move is right arm. Once Katy finished releasing him, she slid down his right side to snuggle into Alex, bringing her arm around Sheila in the process. Alex brought his right arm around Katy and pulled her in closer. The three lay in a loving embrace for a long time.

"Thank you both for the most wonderful Christmas present I could possibly have." "You're welcome, but it I who should be thanking you. You've come back to me in the loving way you were before and that is the best Christmas present of all. Finding love with Katy is an added bonus."

Katy smiled at the two lovers realizing she was happier now than she had been in life. Then she shivered. Funny, she had never experienced a chill since she had been a ghost. Katy panicked slightly. What was happening? Feeling her distress in her movements along with her shivers, both Sheila and Alex pulled Katy tighter into their embrace.

Alex exclaimed, "Katy you're warm, I mean really warm."

"Yes you are. You feel alive and flushed. Your skin even has a pink tinge to it. Oh! Katy, do you think you are back with us for good?"

"I guess anything is possible. We'll see. Right now, I feel much loved. Merry Christmas Alex. Merry Christmas Sheila."

Sheila and Alex said in unison, as if it had been rehearsed," Merry Christmas Katy. Welcome home."
