Patricia and I began dating in our first year at the University, which is more years ago than I care to admit. We'd attended the same high school some fifty miles from the University, although we never dated in high school. She was a thin woman with a pretty face, curly dark brown hair that fell to her shoulder blades, small breasts, and narrow hips. And a soft voice, sparkling eyes, and an almost constant smile.
Even though Patricia was shy, after a few dates during our freshman year she would lie down with me on my dorm room twin bed, and there we'd kiss and cuddle for a half hour at a time. Alas, she steadfastly resisted my initial tentative probing efforts to touch her breasts, let alone let me touch her anywhere else in her Danger Zone. "No, I can't," she'd whisper and push my hand away, and then we'd just continue our kissing and cuddling.
Still, she was fun. Patricia was a great kisser with a playful tongue and occasional little nips of my lips. Interestingly, she didn't complain when my erection inevitably nudged against her during our makeout sessions. She never commented on it. She just ignored it. Did she even realize what it was?
Patricia was also sweetly naΓ―ve. When she returned to school from a visit home for Winter Break, she excitedly told me that her older sister, who was a third-year sorority sister at our same University, had announced to the family that she had secretly married her boyfriend a few months earlier and was now almost three months pregnant. I suggested to Patricia that the real story probably had a different chronological ordering -- that her sister had gotten pregnant and only then gotten secretly married. "Oh no!" Patricia insisted in an irritated tone, "My sister would never have had sex before she was married!"
As the Spring semester and my 19-year-old's sexual frustration continued, Patricia and I saw less and less of each other. I began to date another coed who was less sexually inhibited. Patricia went through "rush" at her older sister's sorority. From then on, our paths separated. We remained friends and occasionally bumped into each other on campus across the following three years, although her Greek social circle and my non-Greek social circle had zero overlap.
Which is why it was a surprise to me in the Spring of my senior year I was sitting in the Undergraduate Library one morning and Patricia tapped me on the shoulder. She greeted me with a friendly "Hi!", then asked if she could sit down next to me. "I've been looking for you," she began, "because I wanted to tell you that I'm getting married after graduation!"
"Congratulations! I'm happy for you!"
"Thank you."
I couldn't stop myself from blurting out what I was thinking. "So soon you'll be able to have sex!" Patricia blushed. I realized I had gone too far. "Geez I'm sorry. I didn't mean that in a sarcastic way. It was more of a 'That's good news for you that you're getting married!' way."
Patricia leaned her head closer to mine and whispered, "Actually... I am already doing that. Sex, I mean." Her face was now bright red.
"I thought you wanted to wait until you were married?"
"I did. But... we got engaged last summer. He was persuasive. About sex, I mean. It seemed okay to me, as long as we had a wedding date planned."
"Sure, I get it. So... if I can be so bold as to ask... Are you enjoying it?"
Patricia giggled. Her face wasn't losing its blush. "The sex? It's fun!" she whispered and glanced around to see if anyone else was in earshot of us.
"That's good. I'm happy for you. I know you weren't ready for that back when we were dating."
"No, I wasn't." Patricia looked down at the floor, then back to my face. "I need to go to a class in a few minutes. Then in a quieter voice added, "I'd like to talk more with you. Maybe later today or tomorrow afternoon? I can come to your apartment. There are too many ears around here."
My mind began to race. My apartment? "Sure, either day is good. I'll be at home before 4 both afternoons." I told her the address. "Just drop by."
Patricia's right hand touched the back of my left hand. "Thanks. Probably today, okay? That works better for me." I nodded. She smiled and stood up, and I watched her walk away. She still had narrow hips and a small ass. And it still got my blood flowing.
Later that afternoon, a few minutes after 4pm I heard a knock on my door, and I opened it to see Patricia standing in the hallway. We moved to the living room and sat on the couch. We went through the usual catching-up chitchat about what classes we were each taking and our upcoming exams. When our conversation slowed, Patricia looked down at the floor and said, "I've been thinking about you lately."
"Really? How so?"
"Well..." She paused, then continued, "Since I've started having sex with Brian, I've been remembering how you and I would make out in your dorm room."
"I remember those days."
"And how I wouldn't let you touch me."
"I remember that, too. It's okay. I'm sorry if I ever made you uncomfortable. You were only living by your principles."
"Yes, I was. And I remember how frustrated you were."
"Yes, well. I never wanted you to do anything you didn't want to do."
She continued, "I could feel your erection. Inside your pants, I mean. I knew you wanted more."
"It's okay. Really."
Patricia's voice dropped to a whisper. Her blush returned. "I got wet back then. Thinking about your erection." She paused a few seconds. "I'd get back to my dorm and ... and touch myself."
"I'm flattered. I'd think about you and masturbate, too. It's all normal, don't you think?"
"I guess. And after Brian and I ... started having sex..." She paused for several seconds, once again staring at the floor in front of us, then added, "It made me wonder... what it would be like with you."
I could feel my heart thumping in my chest. My erection was awakening. I decided to remain silent and allow Patricia to finish her thoughts.
She looked up at my face and continued, "Do you think that makes me a bad person? A bad fiancΓ©?"
"Only if you think you are. You're not married yet. You're human. It's normal to have sexual feelings. Aren't you happy having sex with Brian?"
Her nose wrinkled, then she replied, "He's sweet. I enjoy it." She paused, then took a deep breath and continued, "But it's quick."
"Maybe that will improve as time goes by. You'll both get more comfortable with it. Brian can improve his self-control. And he can learn better how to please you. I'm sure it's the newness of sex with you excites him too much."
I leaned toward her and gently kissed her forehead. Then she added, still looking at the floor, "Maybe I shouldn't say this. I remember how your penis felt when our bodies would... you know, press against each other. And when you got hard, it felt... bigger than Brian."
"You've probably heard the expression 'size doesn't matter', right?"
Patricia's eyes returned to mine. "I've heard it." After a moment's silence, she asked, "Are you seeing anyone these days?"
"No, not really. Nothing serious, anyway. My last girlfriend and I broke up a couple of months ago. It was inevitable. I'm heading West for grad school, and she wanted to live close to her family in the East. We decided that a long-distance relationship wouldn't work."
We were both silent again. Patricia studied my face and asked, "Would you... like to... go into your bedroom for a little while?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes," she said quietly. "I'm sure."
"Okay." I took her hand and led her into my room. Standing next to the bed, we embraced and kissed. "Before this goes any further, I need to tell you... I wasn't expecting this. I don't have any condoms right now."
"It's okay. I'm on the Pill. You can be inside me. I'm safe. I assume you're safe."
"I am. How long have you been on the Pill?"
Patricia wrinkled her nose. "A couple of months. Before that Brian used a condom."
"So not very long without a condom."
"No, not long. We've done it without a condom just a few times. I like it. It's kinda messy, but ..." She was blushing again. "I really like it. That makes me sound slutty, doesn't it?"
"Not at all. I think it's what sex is supposed to feel like."
Patricia nodded, still beet red. Clearly this was all new to her.
"Would you like to lie down?" I asked.
"Yes."
We both slipped our shoes off and moved onto the bed. Three years after our freshman year, once again we were lying side by side, facing each other and kissing. And this time, when my left hand cupped her right breast, Patricia moaned softly in my mouth and didn't push my hand away. Her mouth left mine, briefly, and she murmured, "Please touch me."
I slid my hand beneath her blouse and up to her bra. It was a tight fit, and Patricia unbuttoned her blouse to give my hand more room. I reached behind her back and unclipped her bra. "Wait," she said, sitting up and shrugging off her blouse and bra, dropping them onto the floor, and then lying back down on the bed.
Patricia's topless body was a marvel of smooth, flawless skin and small, firm breasts, each topped by a hardened brown nipple. "You're gorgeous," I told her, and she smiled. We resumed kissing, and our tongues were dancing together again.
Soon Patricia was on her back, and my hand roamed from one small breast to the other. I caressed, I gave gentle pinches to her nipples, and Patricia answered with little gasps and moans and soft murmurs. My mouth then followed, trailing my tongue around each nipple, giving each an encouraging suck and ever so gentle nibble.
It was then that I felt her hand on my erection through my pants. "I want to touch you," she breathed. "Is that okay?"
"How do you want to do this?" I asked. "Do you want to get naked?"
