probably speed you on the road to recovery. I’m starving. You want to grab some lunch in town with me?”
Lily nodded enthusiastically and sang along with the song quietly, “You ain’t got the right to tell me, When and where to go, no right to tell me, Acting like you own me lately, Yeah baby you don’t know a thing about me, you don’t know a thing about me…”
Clay clasped her hand in his, and she smiled at him, feeling like she could handle just about anything. “Once I know my schedule and get the appointment with the lawyer out of the way, I’ll get in touch with the counselor. My funds are limited right now so I need to be careful.” Clay looked like he wanted to say something but then simply nodded and kept driving. “What did your friend want you to tell me?”
“Jack Warner can meet us one day early next week at the house to take a look around. He’s bringing Adam Davis with him.”
“Who?”
“Adam Davis. He’s a heating and air-conditioning contractor. He does electrical work, too. He’s also Grace Warner’s…”
“What?”
“I never finished explaining the other day. I keep forgetting that you’re new to the area.”
“I am not,” she said as Clay smiled at her playfully.
“Some aspects of Divine you’re new to. Adam is also Grace’s husband.”
Huh? “I thought she was married to Jack.”
“She is. I was going to tell you all about this when I showed you Lydia’s statue. There are a number of polyamorous groups in Divine. They’re discreet about it, though. I have a feeling you’ll know a number of them soon enough.”
“Grace has two husbands? All that extra cooking and housework…keeping up with two men?”
Looking like he was bracing himself, Clay replied, “Actually, it’s three husbands.”
“ Huh ? Is that legal? That’s not legal.”
“It’s not legal to be married in a state-sanctioned ceremony to more than one person. Theirs is more of a…spiritual union. They bound their hearts to each other. She is legally married to Jack, but as far as they’re concerned, they are all four, men and wife.”
Lily had a hard time wrapping her mind around that concept. “And she agreed to this willingly?” What kind of loon takes on three husbands? Wonder Woman? The dirty laundry alone would kill me!
Clay grinned and nodded. “Yes. She did. I actually designed and created all their rings.”
“But do the men…you know.” Shut up! Their sex life is soooo none of my business!
“ No ! No, nothing like that,” Clay said as he burst into laughter. “I’m going to tell Jack you said that. He’ll laugh his ass off!”
“You better not, Clay Cook.”
“The men are all cousins, I think. They’re distantly related and have grandparents in common way, way back. When you meet Grace, you can ask her how she handles having three husbands. I think the answer might surprise you.”
Lily shrugged. “If you say so. I’d go nuts.”
“Oh, I am so going to enjoy watching you eat those words, Lil,” Clay said and then laughed again. She shoved his shoulder, turned the music up, and sang with the radio.

If she does that again, I’m not going to be responsible for my actions.
Lily moaned again in enjoyment. “Mmmm! Clay this is so good. I haven’t had an ice cream cone from Dairy Queen since I was little.”
Clay cleared his throat in agony when her pink tongue flicked out and she closed her eyes in enjoyment as she slowly licked at the soft-serve ice cream cone, twirling it around and moaning softly again. He shifted in the booth as his cock hardened painfully. He tried to think of baseball statistics, but all that came to mind was how beautiful she’d look licking his cock like that ice cream cone.
“Do you remember how much I enjoyed these when I was a kid?” she asked as she took another swirling swipe at it with her tongue. His cock throbbed in envy.
Clay could only manage a smiling nod. Yeah, but I don’t remember
