I spent two years overseas and didn't make too many visits back home and when I did they were short before returning to duty. One trip home was during spring break and many of my friends from before joining were also in the area, they invited me out to catch up and get some drinks.
It is a mixed friend group, pretty balanced male to female ratio. A few of the friends would casually hook up for some sex but mostly it was lust and didn't lead to long term relationships. While I was overseas I did hear that Jess and Dan got engaged. That was great news to hear as they were really compatible and I was happy for them truly.
Jess is a cute woman. Normal level of a human being, good curves, with a really attractive face and great smile. Her personality was easy going and happy. Jess and I were friends prior to her meeting the group. We would chat and general flirt but it never progressed further, there were hugs and casual touches sitting next to each other on a car ride somewhere or watching a show, but that was it. Bringing her into the friend group was so easy and it's how she met Dan. So in a way, I was responsible for them meeting.
The night progressed as any would; lots of laughter, telling stories, remembering experiences, having some adult beverages. It was close to closing the bar down, but not quite. Dan said he couldn't continue as he had work in the morning and needed to get some sleep. Jess said she wanted to stay and chat some more with me as I was only back for another night. Dan agreed and handed Jess the keys and he summoned an ride to his apartment.
While hanging outside on the patio the night chill began to creep in. Jess was crossing her arms attempting to stay warm. I offered my coat, she gladly accepted an cuddled up next to me on the table as the remaining friends continued to laugh and tell stories. I had a lot of catching up to do and quite a few stories to share myself.
Soon after I felt Jess' hand on my thigh, It was innocent enough since she was already leaning into me to stave off the chill and the night was getting late. But it wasn't innocent, her hand wasn't just resting, it was gliding back and forth. She was flirting, while making casual conversation and laughter with the group. Jess' hand moved closer to my crotch, I could feel desire taking over my body. Friendship and courtesy's were out the window. I reached down to adjust my pants and boxers, my dick was not a position to enjoy this.
