Team Players (Part 1 of Many)

Team Players (Part 1 of Many)

Chapter 1

Here I was, 38 years old, rehabilitating an injured leg. Divorced 7 years now, and really nowhere to go. Until 6 months ago, I was an active team member of the Navy Seals. Unfortunately for me and two other team members, our truck hit an IED, Improvised explosive device, or a homemade bomb, near the Pakistan border in Afghanistan. Now if you ever want a hell hole to visit, then just take a plane there. The bomb tore up the truck and my knee and thigh, in the process. One of my team lost an eye, and the other took shrapnel in his face, but was doing ok.

For me, I was done being an active team member. This was all my life was to this point. Joined right out of high school, then became a Seal 3 years later. Married the woman of my dreams at 28, and then saw it come crashing down at 31. She couldn’t handle the constant deployments and not knowing if I was alive or dead, when I was gone. We dated 2 years before we married, so she knew what she was getting into, or so I thought.

I’m Dan, 5’ 10, 175 lbs of lean muscle, blond headed with blue eyes. In 2 more months, I will have 20 years in. I was hoping after this last deployment, I could go on to teach at BUDs school, but now that is probably not going to happen. I will walk with a limp the rest of my life, and will probably be asked to leave the service, or sit at a desk. To me, sitting at a desk is not an option.

After 6 months though of operations and rehab, I was told I could convelace at home. But for me, I really didn’t have a home now. Both my parents are now dead, and so is my older brother. He lived in Virginia, which is where I was based. He was killed in an auto accident, by some drunk teenager almost 3 years ago.

John was 5 years older than I. He was married, and had one son, John Jr.. His wife Jackie is a year younger than John and their son is now 21, and in the final year of college out in California, at Stanford. Jackie and I have always been on good terms and have remained close, since John’s death. She lives about 30 minutes from the base and has been a frequent visitor since my return from the Sand Pit, and countless hospital, and rehab stays.

John and Jackie met in high school and were married a year after graduation. Jackie has always been kind to me, loved kidding around and when I was in my senior year, flirted with me. Jackie is not a model type of woman, but she is pretty and still carries the same figure she had when she first got married. She is 5’ 7, 125 pounds, kind of flat chested, B cup, but a lovely ass. I always loved when she wears short shorts and shows off her toned legs and great ass. She keeps her blond hair short, like a bob cut, above her neck line. When she’d wear a bikini, she’d make any man hard. My ex used to complain that Jackie just like to flaunt herself, which I just laughed off.

The day after the doc’s told me I could rehab at home, Jackie stopped by for a visit. I explained everything to her as to what I was allowed to do, and couldn’t do, but told her I had nowhere to go, since I had always lived on base since the divorce.

“You always have a place to go Dan…. My house is plenty big enough. Remember, we have that in-law suite we built 10 years ago for your parents. So just move in there Silly” Jackie said to me.

“Jac. I could never impose on you like that. Last thing you need is a cripple around the house. I’ll find something” I said.

This day Jackie was dressed in tasteful Khaki shorts and a button down blouse, but I could tell she wasn’t wearing a bra, seldom does she, since her nipple wear hard and trying to rip through the fabric.

“You are such a Jackass, you know that? You are going to move in with me, and then once your rehab is done and the Navy figures out what they’re going to do with your ass, then we’ll decide what your next step is.” she said in a tone like a mother.

“But” I started to say. Her hand went up, “But nothing… Fuck.. you are hard headed.” she retorted. Jackie was never one to mince words and she did like using colorful language, which was another thing my ex did not like saying or hearing.

“When will they release you?” she asked, and I told her, “Tomorrow”. “Good… I’ll be here to pick you up.” she spat out. That was her final word, as she turned on her heels and left. I did find myself staring at her ass, as she left the room. Of course my dirty little mind wondered if she was wearing panties, since I couldn’t see panty lines, or was it a thong. John used to tell me she loves dressing sexy and loved to fuck and suck. He said she could go all night, if you let her.

Chapter 2

It was now 2 months into my living with Jackie. At first I felt like a home intruder, but after a couple of days, she made me feel welcome. I had the suite my parents used. My dad was a Veterinarian with a very successful practice, and mom, was the bookkeeper for him. Dad died from a heart attack almost 10 years ago, after having a stroke the previous year, and mom really couldn’t take care of him. So they built this addition and moved them in and then mom succumb to cancer 3 years later. So Jackie and my brother were pretty much caregivers for 4 years.

The suite was nice. It had a small living room, a bedroom, and nice size bathroom. They all shared the kitchen and laundry room. At first I pretty much kept to myself and only went into the house section when I was hungry, or Jackie invited me to eat with her, which was often.

Jackie did not work, nor did she have too. John had a very successful CPA business and had a huge life insurance policy on himself. Couple that with my parents money, which John and I split, she had no reason to work, and neither did I, for that matter. Plus, I was now at 20 years, in service, and I could draw retirement, even with a medical discharge.

The house itself was pretty large. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, huge kitchen and in the basement an entertainment room, with a huge LED TV and sound system. One thing I always chuckled about was their master bedroom. They had a 4 poster, king size bed, that had a mirror on the ceiling. I used to tease John about it. But he would laugh and just say, “Trust me, She loves watching herself fucking”.

They also have a nice inground pool, a huge deck, complete with hot tub. Now that it was summer, she would be out there a lot. Many times, a lot of her friends would be over too. One in particular, Mandy, who is a real spit fire. She’s married, but she loves to flirt, and one of those types that is touchy feely. She’s only 5’2, 130 pounds, but carries it well and has D cup breasts, and is a brunette. She and Jackie are quite close too. Always greet one another with a hug and kiss on the lips, and do the same when parting. Of course my mind wondered if they also slept together too. It would not shock me if they were bi.

One thing about me now, is that I am very conscious of my wounds and the ugly scars I have on my knee and thigh region. They are not pretty and it took me a few days to even let Jackie see them. So anytime any of her friends were over, I made myself scarce, especially if they were hanging around the pool. No way would I want to gross them out with my ugly leg now.

One evening, Jackie and I were sitting on the deck drinking beers. It was a hot evening too, in the 90’s. I was wearing shorts, since it was just her and I. Jackie was wearing bikini bottoms and a t-shirt. I just loved looking at her tan legs. Toned, and long. John had to enjoy having those wrapped around his body.

“D” she’s always said my first initial, instead of Dan. “I know you are pretty self conscious of your legs, but don’t be. They aren’t that bad as you think. I’d love for you to join us sometimes when I have my friends over.”

“Damn Jac… I don’t want to freak them out… Give them nightmares” I said chuckling.

“OH Please… I don’t ever feel that way around you. Look at us now. You are in swim trunks and that’s it., and I haven’t head to the hills. In fact, I think you look damn sexy, even if you are my brother in law. Oh and trust me, Mandy would love to see you naked and take full advantage of you. She thinks you are super hot and would nothing better than to ride you all night.”

I just laughed, and damn near spit beer out my nose. “Christ, you really never did find a filter for that mouth of yours.” I said.

“Hey…. I just say it like I see it. Plus you should hear Mandy. I toned it down….. Look, I might as well be upfront with you.” she said, taking a pause.

“Mandy and her husband Jim, are in an open relationship. They swing. Up until John’s death, so did we….. Shocking I know…. Please don’t judge us either. We loved it and only did that with those 2.” she said

“I don’t judge Jac.. You know that.. John never told me that part of your life…. To each their own, as long as no one gets hurt.” I said. Then said, “Ok.. I gotta ask… Are you and Mandy into each other?”

Jackie chuckled. “That obvious huh?… Yeah!, We are Bi and enjoy sex with each other. In fact, it is the only sex I get. Mandy and Jim have a rule. No threesomes, but she is allowed to spend time with me, as long as Jim knows”

I had to ask, “Why no threesomes?”

Again, she laughed and said, “Mandy thinks it’s unfair he gets to fuck two women, but she only gets his dick. To be honest, she is wild in bed and I used to love watching her and John fuck.”

“Oh Wow…. I could never see Linda ever doing that…. Hell, I was lucky if I got it a couple times a week, let alone with another couple.” I laughed as I said it.

“ I have no idea what you saw in her D. She always came off bitchy to us. She would bitch to me about your deployments, and never around for her…. We tried hard to like her and include her in family things when you were out of the country. But she always declined. So we gave up after a while.”

“Honestly, I’m not even sure now. I guess I just settled back then. It wasn’t fair to her or me…. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you and Mandy start.” I asked.

Jackie shook her head and laughed, but then her face got somber.

“ D…… About 3 years before John’s death. I know you didn’t know this, but for last couple of years before Mandy, our marriage was shit….. We hid it well from everyone… we just grew apart and then John had a couple of affairs that he told me about, a month before Mandy.”

“ I’m so sorry Jac. What a jerk…. I’d never think John could do that.”

“ I thought that too…. I mean I never said no to him….. granted, things get stale…. Hell, I even let him try anal. But after a long weekend of crying and talking, and yelling, we figured out that, yes, we loved each other, we weren’t in love anymore. We decided to wait until Johnny was in college or whatever he was going to choose after high school.” She explained.

“ Holy shit Jac…. I was going to lose you too? Fuck.” I said

I could see her eyes watering…. “ Oh D, I would always be there for you…. But who knows what would have happened……. Then one day, after the boys were back in school, Mandy came over to lay out and drink some margaritas….. So you know we lay out naked so no tan lines….. Well I bared my soul to her and we were both crying and getting drunk and she was hugging me. Next thing I know we were kissing….. And you know, I liked it…….. Then she told me she was bi and explained how her and Jimmy took up swinging with a couple from Richmond…. She said it healed their marriage….. one thing led to another and she and I had sex right on the deck here…. It was great, and to be honest, the best orgasm I ever had….. Shit… I can’t believe I’m telling you this stuff.”

I was turned on now and I know she could see my erection in my shorts, but made no comment about it, thank God. Ever since my divorce, the women I went out with always seemed to be like Jackie. To me, she set the standard. And now listening to all of this, all I wanted to do was hold her tight in my arms. I’m sure though, she never allow that.

“Anyways” she began again, “ about 3 weeks later, and 4 more sessions with Mandy, I broached the subject of swinging with John…… When I told him, he was shocked at first, but then thought about it. He always had a thing for her….. I told him outright, that if we did this, he wouldn’t need to find anything strange on the side. But, he couldn’t get jealous when Jim and I were having sex.”

“Oh Wow….What more could he ask for?” I retorted

“I know.. Right?…. The first time we were both apprehensive but after things got going, it was mind blowing…. Watching him and Mandy together really turned me on….. Then doing it with Jim was awesome….. He was the first man I was ever with, since John and I started dating in high school.”

She was lost in thought then, and I could tell she was getting a little worked up. Lord knows I was. Had she asked me right then to have sex with her, it would have been a no brainer.

“So… Did this curb John’s appetite for extramarital sex then?”, I asked

Her face drew somber, yet again. “At first.. Yes…… We had fun with them. Met up a couple times a month…. In fact our sex life at home was even better, especially right after, and days after being with them…. But, we didn’t let the boys know about Mandy and I until a year later… That really turned the guys on.” she said

“I bet it did…. I won’t lie, I’d love to watch you two go at it.” I said with a laugh.

“She chuckled, “Oh.. I bet you would….Maybe one day.. We’ll see… Anyways… about 3 months before John’s accident, I noticed he was falling into the habit he had when he was having affairs… Working late at the office, or business trips…. So my guard was up…. Then” and she broke down now.

She started crying. So I turned my chair to face her and got real close and pulled her into me and held her. I let her cry and just stroked her hair, as she buried her head into my shoulder. After a few minutes, she pulled back, and wiped the tears from her face.

“Sorry” she said…….

“See, the night he died, he was hit pulling out of the Day’s Inn, near Norfolk. The kid ran the red light and t-boned him. The police, after their investigation told me he was with a woman at the motel. Come to find out, that he worked with her. When this happened, he was supposedly fishing with a bunch of his friends up near Richmond.”

“Oh God… Jackie…. I am so sorry….. He may be my brother, but you never deserved that treatment. What an asshole.” I said.

“Thanks D….. Not many know that part of the story, and won’t either…. Johnny has no clue and I only tell people I trust…. Mandy and Jim know, and my sister Amy, and her husband… But that’s it”

Then I asked. “Have you dated anyone since?”

She shook her head and frowned. “About 3 guys. 2 never made it past the initial date. I mean they were nice and all, but just never had that “It” factor for me….. Then about a year and a half ago, I dated a guy for 2 months……. He was really nice, and damn cute too… But once we had sex, he wanted to marry me…. I wasn’t ready for that at all….. All I wanted was companionship, and, you know, a little fun in bed…… How about you?…. How come you don’t have a woman in your life?”

I laughed, then said, “I like how you turned the tables on me…. But… After Linda, I never found a woman I could be with that could accept what I do…. Sure, I had hookup’s…. Especially at that one bar off base…. They all know who the Seal’s are, with hopes of landing one……And” and then I got quiet

“Oh.. Go On… don’t leave me hanging shit head.. I just bared my soul to you.”

I chuckled. “Ok… Any woman I really wanted had to be like you…. There.. I said it.”

“Whatttttttt?…What do you mean by that?” she asked

“Christ Jackie…. Look… You are beautiful. Smart. Fun to be around. Sexy has hell… So giving, and I love that you speak your mind and take no bullshit from people…. There.”

She smiled, then said, “Wow……. I’m flattered, but I have so many flaws D…. I never knew you found me this way.”

We then sat in silence for a good half an hour, just enjoying the evening. Then I got up and said I needed to go soak my leg and use the cream on it. Jackie got up too and then hugged me tight. I could actually feel her hard nipples poking my bare chest. Then she kissed me on the cheeks and said good night.

Laying in bed later, all I could think about was Jackie. I’d do anything to be her lover. As I thought about her, and even Mandy, my cock grew. So I stroked it to 2 orgasms that night. I also wondered if she was doing the same, thinking of me right now.

Chapter 3

Three weeks went by and I had my appointment with the the Base doctor. He cleared me for desk duty, but informed me that my days as an active Seal Team member were through. Then after that meeting, I went and saw my CO, who already knew of the outcome. He was sorry that this happened to me.

“Rock” he said. Teams always give guys nicknames and mine was Rock. My last name is Stone. When I was in BUD’s training, I was known as Pebble. But that changed once I made a Team.

“All I have to offer you is a place on the Team as like a consultant back here. When they are out on a mission, you will work closely with the Spook advisor. Try it out. If you don’t like it, then we have two other options. Desk work and analysis, or retirement.”

I told him that I would weigh all my options and get back to him the first of next week. He did say he would like me to be part of the team advising them of tactical things. Most Spooks (CIA officers), don’t have the same field experience as one who has been in the trenches.

When I was finished, I went to my barracks to pick up my truck. Jackie had brought me this morning, but I told her don’t wait on me, since I had no idea how long this all would take. I was hoping to be cleared for driving, which I was. She had been bringing me in for rehab since moving out with her.

It felt so good to be able to drive again. Maybe it is the independence it brings, who knows. It just felt good. It was 2pm when I rolled into her drive. I notice that Mandy was over. Which made sense. It was a gorgeous, hot day. Near 90 without a cloud in the August sky. As I walked into the kitchen, I could see them out by the pool, tanning. Both were laying on their stomachs. Jackie wore a yellow thong style bikini, and her top had the straps undone, off of her back. Mandy, who has shoulder length brunette hair, had her hair in a bun and was dressed similarly, but hers was pink. Both ladies sported dark tans, and God, they looked delicious.

I decided to change into swimwear and join them, after I did my swim workout. It really helped loosen up my knee. After changing, all I could ask of myself, was that I didn’t pop a boner in their presence.

As I walked out with a beer in hand, I asked, “Mind if I swim a bit?”

Both girls picked their heads up and looked at me.
