Is there any such thing as a truly platonic relationship? Most honest men will tell you "hell no". The rest will lie because they're trying to get some sex from a woman who's "just a friend." I suspect women know the deal as well, but most of them lie about it to protect the virtuous portrait of them that men like to paint.
Like millions of people before them, Maria and Alex had what they liked to call a platonic relationship. They talked, hung out, shared secrets, laughed, joked, and above all else, they lived by the rule, "no stirrer in the honeypot." Now there was immense sexual attraction and tension between the two of them, but they'd both been good about pretending that it wasn't really an issue.
Another Saturday night had rolled around and as usual, Maria and Alex had found themselves without dates for the evening. So, it was no surprise when the 10pm call from Maria came thru with the directive, "let's hit a movie, a club, something, 'cuz I don't want to sit in the house tonight." Thirty minutes later Alex was at her door, and within an hour, they were out on the dance floor, drinks in hand, having a great, no pressure kind of time that "friends" are supposed to be able to have.
The evening wore on, and by their fourth club, they were both pretty wasted. Over the sound of screeching gears (Maria couldn't drive a stick well, and Alex was too fucked up to drive), they agreed that they'd head back to his place, sleep off a night's worth of B-52's, Margaritas, and Hurricanes and Alex would take her back home in them morning. Never a simpler arrangement had been made.
"Now, I don't want you to get mad, but I've been wondering this for a long time", Alex said while sitting on the edge of his sofa. He had that silly grin he always wore when he was drunk and Maria was more than eager to entertain his foolishness when he was like this because he was always so funny. He motioned her close towards him so that she stood right in front of him. Without warning, Alex ran his hands up the back of Maria's thigh, up her skirt, and came to rest on the cheeks of her ass. The only thing that interrupted her utter shock was the words, "I'll be damned, you don't wear underwear". In one of her hornier moments, she'd made that confession to him, but never in her wildest dreams had she expected for it to come back to haunt her like this.
The real kicker was that despite her shock she liked it. It had been months since a man had laid a hand on her body and she missed the feeling quite a bit. So, Maria put on her best stern face, looked Alex in the eye and said "what are you doing, have you forgotten our honey-pot rule?" Being charged up on courage juice, Alex didn't hesitate to offer up "I know the rule and I intend to abide by it, I'm just having some fun" as his response.
