William and Martha Anderson stood on the sidewalk in their human forms, holding hands while waving goodbye to the Lyons, their old friends from Minnesota who they luckily became reacquainted with again in Moon Lake.
After watching the two cars leave, the Andersons started walking back to the front porch of their house. William had his arm lovingly around his wife's waist.
"Can't wait to start our nightly fun?" she purred in his ear, before kissing William on the cheek. "We can't stay up too late tonight because we both have school tomorrow," Martha reminded him, referring to her starting her first substitute teaching gig. This one filling in for the assistant girls' PE coach at Moon Lake Junior High.
"I know," said William, smiling at her as he stopped on their front porch. But instead of opening the front door and going on inside, he turned to Martha and said, "There's something I need to talk to you about. Privately," he added, lowering his voice.
"Okay," said Martha, leaning against the house and looking at him. Neither knowing about their sons' conversation taking place between the dining room and the kitchen as they cleared the dinner table.*
"You know that besides Nellie being bi, the Lyons are swingers. Well, John told me while I was grilling the steaks that if we ever wanted to swap partners..."
"I see. And how did that make you feel?" asked Martha.
"Well, you already promised that any female interested in doing so you'd start sharing with me, but I must admit that I have some reservations about both that and you being with another man," admitted William.
"How so?" wondered Martha, staring at him.
"A part of me enjoys the thought of being with other ladies," began William, briefly glancing down to indicate the hard cock tenting in his pants. "I know the life/soul mate bond between us, thanks to my new vulpine nature, is strong and will never be broken. Yet, as enjoyable as our time with Douglas and Dawn Hale was over the weekend, part of me still can't help feeling guilty about what some would perceive as cheating on you, even though I have your permission and blessing."
"I see," said Martha.
"And while you are now fully embracing your bi nature and are free to be with whatever female partner you want, the thought of you being with another man, even if I'm with his mate at the same time, does make me stop and pause," admitted William. "I'm probably feeling something akin to how you felt upon discovering I was sleeping around on you with other women, even before I screwed up even worse and got that co-ed pregnant, which was the catalyst for everything that led to us moving to Moon Lake. But I love you more than mere words can ever express. I'm doing everything I can to make amends to you for all my past screw ups. And all I ask for in return is for you to be happy," he added, before William embraced his wife and laid his head on her shoulder.
Martha wrapped her arms around her husband and held him close.
This was the most emotional she had seen him in a long time, and Martha couldn't deny that she loved the fact he was able to open up to her like this.
"William," began Martha, gently whispering into his ear. "I was once a happy normal human woman, and I am an even happier bi-werecat now. I cannot say with any certainty whether or not I ever will have sex with another male, but you are the only man I ever have, do, or will love," she vowed, holding him tighter.
When William moved his head to look at her, Martha smiled and then gave him a passionate kiss.
One that was soon eagerly returned as their tongues danced in each other's mouths.
After their lips parted, Martha smiled at William and said, "Come on dear. Let's go upstairs to our room and you can show me how much you love me before we fall asleep in each others furry arms," as she grabbed his hand and led him inside, locking the front door behind them.
