I looked at Ava and even though she was still watching the show they were putting on, she was listening intently to the conversation taking place.
“Both,” Doc murmured.
“You know when Viper and I married, we had no intention of having a ménage relationship. But circumstances changed that, and it wasn't his suggestion to bring Jennie into our marriage, it was mine. And while I worried about the same thing at first, it has never been an issue because I love Jennie as much as he does. Seeing them happy and enjoying each other makes me happy. Plus, it turns me the fuck on and when we get home later, well let's just say the sex will be out of this world.”
She paused for a moment like she was collecting her thoughts. “No, it doesn't bother me to watch them have sex together, because we are all together most of the time it's happening. But there are times when it's one on one and I think that keeps our relationship healthy. That lets Jennie and me have our own piece of Viper.
“See, while Viper does this for Jennie, for me, he takes me to a track and we race each other, me driving my 1970 Camaro SS and he will usually drive one of the vehicles he is rebuilding. He knows that I love to race, so he does that with me.
“He's a daredevil and I have to earn my wins, so when I do win, it fucking gives me a high that lasts for hours. Just like the high he's giving Jennie right now. I think that's a part of any good relationship, doing things together that each of you enjoy.”
“But don't you ever feel like he's giving more of himself to one of you over the other?” Doc continued to question Mia. It was damn interesting hearing this shit.
“Yes and no. Yes, he sometimes gives more of himself to one of us more than the other and no it doesn't bother me. Because in any relationship it's never fifty-fifty, sometimes it's seventy-thirty and other times it's one hundred-zero. It works the same way with us. Sometimes I need him more than Jennie does, and he will devote a little more time to me, other times Jennie needs the extra attention. It helps that Jennie and I are best friends and love each other as well. No ménage relationship would work if the pair of the same sex couldn't get along with each other.”
“So, you don't get jealous of Jennie at all?” Doc Jones asked.
“Not at all.”
“What about other women? Doesn't knowing he's probably slept with some of those women out there on the floor bother you?” Doc Jones queried Mia.
I saw Ava unconsciously lean a little closer to the women, I also saw Ranger was listening just as closely as all the women were. I was curious as fuck about the answer to this question myself.
“Well, for one thing, I know he hasn't been with any of those women so that helps. He's never cheated on Jennie or me, but if we were around other women he'd been with before us, we wouldn't really have any excuse for being jealous over something that happened before our time. However, that being said, women are fucking jealous creatures and it would be hard to take knowing he was around someone he had fucked before.
“But if he told us to trust that he wouldn't ever be with that person again and we didn't take him at his word, well, then the relationship wouldn't ever work. You have to trust your partner. I mean what would be the point in being in a relationship if we were gonna let something like that constantly prey on our minds, it would destroy any semblance of trust between us and stop us from ever enjoying true intimacy.
“And let me say this, if you can't get past the others your partner has been with before you, then you will never be in a healthy relationship, because we all have a past and being jealous of the past is simply destroying your present and future.”
Mother. Fuck. In clearer words, she just said what I have been saying to Ava in my attempts to get her to understand me. I watched as Ava's eyes widened as she was hit with the realization of what she had been doing. I couldn't blame her though, because when she asked me how I would feel if the situation were reversed, I know I would have been fucking jealous as hell.
But Mia was right, if we couldn't leave the past in the past then we would never have a future, and I fucking wanted a future with this woman. Hopefully hearing another woman giving these words of advice would help her reconcile her feelings of jealousy toward me. I know the words would stay with me, because, damned, if Mia hadn't just schooled us all on how a loving relationship should be like.
About an hour or so later, I leaned over to Viper and said, “Brother, we'll need to leave in about thirty minutes or so. Letting you know so you can see your Old Ladies home.”
He inclined his head at me then leaned over and murmured to Jennie and Mia. As they all stood up, Mia smiled at Ava and the docs and stated, “I enjoyed our chat and visiting with you all. We'll definitely have to do this more often.”
“So did we,” returned Doc Jones.
“Yeah, we'd definitely love to visit with y'all again,” Doc spoke up.
“I for sure want to see Jennie and Viper dance again,” Ava commented with a slight blush on her face.
Laughter and murmurs of 'yes' floated through the women in agreement with Ava's remark.
“Be back in a few, Prez,” Viper told me, and I nodded at him in return.
As they walked away, I leaned toward Ava
