I debated whether or not to share this story, because it's so personal. And I hate feeling like I am peeling back a layer that involves more individuals than just me, but I know it wouldn't "hurt" anyone. At least I hope not. In any case--here goes, Literotica.
It's been quite a while since I contributed anything here. For those of you who have followed my stories and my journey post-divorce, I am happy to be connecting back with you now. I am still with Alyssa, and things are generally wonderful (when she isn't piling weird sailing equipment in my spare bedroom because her apartment is bursting at the seams). She's a rare, unique, adventurous partner so wonderful I still pinch myself, even as we glide into our second year together. I am in love. And I think she is too. Pinch, pinch.
After a decade of friendship, and through a soul sucking divorce from my husband of 18 years, my relationship with Alyssa blossomed and grew into something unexpectedly romantic, and astoundingly intimate. I'd invite you to read any of my stories about her (there are several here on the site), to appreciate the degree of adventure, love, and passion she has brought to my life.
About a year ago (ugh, can it be that long?) I wrote about a real conversation I had with Alyssa about some pretty personal and daring notions. Well-aware that this is my first same-sex relationship, Alyssa asked me if I ever missed being with a man. She asked me in sort of a "pillow talk" situation, managing to coerce what I felt was an honest answer, and one I prayed didn't offend her in any way. My answer was yes.
I was terrified to hear the word come out of my mouth knowing she would respond one way or another. Much to my relief, and very true to her nature, Alyssa rolled with my answer and amplified the intensity of the conversation by introducing a certain harnessed latex friend of hers to our shared bed. It was freeing and euphoric to share my answer with her, especially when she penetrated me to simulate the male touch I realized I still craved.
Relationships are tricky. I've mostly failed in mine. So exposing myself to so much second-guessing and Alyssa's potential judgment wasn't easy. It felt like a minefield, actually. When she followed up our conversation with the invitation of a possible threesome (with a man, obviously) I was floored. Aroused. Intrigued. Nervous. Oh, did I mention aroused? Was she serious? Was this something people actually did? I am in my mid-40s and have never even come close to an actual threesome. My ex probably would have catapulted me out of our bedroom window if I ever broached the subject. I'd never judge anyone who did, of course (Alyssa has experienced multiple partners several times), but it just seemed so--wildly "not me." I'm not a flashy, swinger-y person. I actually think I'm kind of boring. A middle-aged, divorced, public school teacher mom. Did people like me DO this kind of thing? Could I?
For weeks, I ran the invitation around in my head. Wow. I thought about it every free moment of the day. In bed with Alyssa. In the shower when I masturbated. Here on the site when friends who read the story reached out to me to chat about it, which I was more than excited to do. As I became more comfortable with the idea, and with Alyssa's approval and participation, it seemed almost inevitable. It was going to happen!
Or so I thought. Sigh.
I'm laughing at myself right now, because a threesome seems so easy when people talk about it, especially on an adult site like Literotica. Like--you just do it, right? You pick a third partner, do your hair, buy an outfit, pour some margaritas and you go for it. If you know anything about me, "going for it" doesn't often come naturally to me.
Don't get me wrong. I am very open to it, still. I still fantasize about it often. It's something I think would bring Alyssa and I even closer. On the other hand, I'd be so damn self conscious, I am not sure I would enjoy the anxiety that came with the fantasy. Would I enjoy it "too" much? Would Alyssa get jealous or feel regret afterwards? And then of course there is the notion that this man--yet unpicked--would be having sex with the love of my life right in front of me. How would I react? The fantasy is hotter than hell (I am wet right now just imagining that part), but the reality? To watch Alyssa climax with a man inside her? It's an intensity to be approached carefully. And so we did. And then months went by. And more months.
Not to bury the lead, but we still haven't made the threesome fantasy a reality. However, we did take a step in that direction. And it was a pretty big one. At least for me.
Part of what made materializing the fantasy an issue was choosing who might be our "man." Should it be someone close? A stranger? Someone Alyssa knew? Someone I knew? Someone we both knew? It was so difficult to know who might be right to fit the bill, so to speak. It's not like we were asking someone to watch her cat. This person would be...well. Thrusting inside of us, in front of one another. People really do this?
A name that kept popping up was our friend Nick, for a few reasons. First, we both knew Nick and he is a very nice guy, and quite attractive. Alyssa is also aware that Nick and I had a bit of a sexual history (ok, one time!) which made him a sort of frontrunner. But for some reason, I just could never make myself say yes to the scenario. Even now, sitting here, I can't completely explain why. Maybe it's because what I had with Nick itself was deeply personal, if just a fling. And certainly what I have with Alyssa is special and amazing. But it's a relationship built for two. It's dizzying. I don't know what makes me so apprehensive, I just am.
But then Alyssa hit me with a massive curveball as she tried to dissect my thought process. "You should just hook up with Nick again without me."
Whoa. And she was serious. And not in an exasperated "oh go do what you want" sort of way. She knew I was with Nick before. She liked him. Or at least "approved" of him. And she was willing to allow me to have that experience again. She knows me well, she knows I don't harbor some longing for Nick, or anything "real." It would just be another fling. An experience. If not an actual threesome, still something we could share together after the fact.
My heart pounded. "Alyssa, Jesus. Are you sure?"
"Uh huh," she grinned and added, "as long as you take pictures for me."
Oh, she knows me so well. She knows the kind of fire that lit inside me. She kissed me on my mouth and whispered, "do you want to fuck Nick and show me the photos, Kristi?"
