He typed in a short text and sent it winging across the country.
She answered back in just a few minutes - "let's see, u want a truth, huh? ok, how old were u when u lost ur virginity?"
He texted back, and her answer was immediate. " 23??? wtf dude, ur shittin me? u'll have to tell me why u waited. how did i not know that?? jeez!" A few seconds later his phone buzzed again - "and BTW, I'll take a dare this time. ;) "
His quick text back - "k. i'll have to think of something for u later. gotta get back 2 work. bye for now!" His mind whirled -- she hadn't asked for a dare before, and he wasn't prepared.
Erik and Elle had been friends for years, and had been fuck-buddies for a short while. That had been a lifetime ago. They'd both since moved away from their hometown, gotten married, and gotten on with life. Over the years, they'd exchanged Christmas cards, texted or called now and then, and were perfectly happy. Still were. A holiday reminiscence, though, had sparked a conversation about the naughty fun they used to have.
"Do you do crazy stuff with Jen like you used to do with me?" she'd asked, out of the blue.
Erik had laughed and said of course they did, but Elle wanted to know more.
"Tell me!!!" she'd laughed. "What's the naughtiest thing you've done recently?"
"No!!" he chuckled back. "It's none of your business!"
"Oh come on, Mr. Stick in the Mud, tell me something juicy. I dare ya!"
"Oh, you dare me, do you? What are we now, kids playing Truth or Dare??"
And just like that, two weeks ago, it had begun.
It was all innocent, in a way. I mean, they weren't sexting or sending nude selfies back and forth. Still, it wasn't exactly the kind of innocent you'd want your spouse to find out about...
For the rest of his shift, Erik thought about what he might dare Elle to do. She had given him the only dare so far in the game, and it had embarrassed him terribly. She'd dared him to go into a sex shop and ask a complete stranger which dildo she would like best. As proof, he had to take a picture or video. Luckily, he'd found someone with a good sense of humor, and when he told her it was for a dare she'd gone along with it and had fun with the whole thing. He'd felt guilty, though, because he'd found himself getting turned on. He knew Jen would be upset, and he knew how many ways the whole thing could have gone wrong.
Now that it was his turn, he wasn't sure whether to try and scale things back before they got out of hand completely, or go for the gold before the whole game came to an end. Decisions, decisions...
Early the next morning, Elle's phone pinged. She glanced at the message preview - "here's ur dare" - decided she'd check the message once Sonny, her husband, had gone to work. When she read the message, she was glad she'd waited.
"here's ur dare -- u kno that picture window facing the sidewalk? I dare u to pull up a chair, put both feet up on the windowsill, and masturbate for five full minutes. no stopping even if someone goes by. and I want video proof. ready, go! Lol"
Elle's heart pounded in her chest. She quickly texted back "no way!!! u crazy?"
"yep. now don't be chickenshit. u have to take the dare -- i took urs!"
"c'mon please? think of sumthing else."
Erik was excited because he knew he'd come up with something good. He was also pretty sure Elle would be turned on by the risk and the exhibitionism, unless she had changed a LOT in the last couple of years. She just needed a nudge...
"how about if I promise to take a dare next turn?"
"Erik, i feel funny about it. The video, i mean"
Ah, so that was the hangup. She didn't want to send him a nude video. Understandable. They were trying to be a little bit good, after all.
"just put the phone behind u so I can see the window and your back. u don't have to show anything"
"k. we'll see. i still think ur crazy!!"
"k Elle. i look forward to your vid. ;) bye for now!"
Erik smiled at her response - "maybe. *maybe* u'll get a vid. now shut up and go to work!"
He knew, then, she'd do it.
When his phone pinged during lunch break, Erik was surprised to see it was from Elle. He hadn't expected her to send anything until tomorrow, maybe tonight at the earliest. A wave of disappointment flowed through him, thinking she had decided not to take the dare after all.
His heart started to jackhammer, then, when he saw the text was nothing but a link to a cloud site. Hot damn, Elle had come through!
He decided to finish his lunch break in his car, despite the cool weather.
The video was amazing. More than he had hoped for. As he'd suggested, Elle propped her phone behind the chair for the video, but it was clear that she was completely naked. He hadn't really specified that, but he'd pictured her wearing something like a skirt or even a bikini. But no. The video began with her feet propped on the low sill, bare legs spread wide. Though he couldn't actually see, Erik could tell from the motion of her arm the she was making little circles around her clit, and she sometimes reached up with her other hand to play with her tits and tease her nipples.
Fuck!! This was hotter than he'd hoped, made all the more exciting by what he could see and what he couldn't see.
A number of cars went by on the street in front of her, their drivers oblivious to the vision that waited, if only they would look over. Elle began to squirm in the chair now, rubbing faster. At one point a pedestrian walked by, not fifteen feet away. Erik could see Elle stop squirming and cover her breasts instinctively with her forearm, but he noticed that, like a good girl, she kept rubbing her clit. The guy glanced over, and Erik swore he saw him pause, but then the man walked on.
Goddamn. Erik was totally and completely turned on, now. His cock was so hard it ached, and he was unconsciously rubbing it through his slacks. Oh man...
In the video, Elle continued touching herself, and soon found her rhythm again. Erik could hear her breath getting deeper and faster, and her squirming became more intense. Quite a few cars and at least one more walker passed by before she finally arched her back, tossing her full mane of hair and moaning with abandon, and he knew she was cumming hard. He flashed back, remembering her delicious wet pussy and the heady smell of her sex...
The video faded to black, and Erik was left breathing heavily, cock hard and pulse pounding. He was glad he was alone in his car.
Lunch was long over and he had to get back inside, but he needed to send a quick text first.
"dayum, Elle, that was fuckin HOT!!!!"
"why thank you sir. glad you approve."
"approve??? i'm fucking stunned and amazed. that was awesome!"
"shut up!! i'm blushing, lol. but thanks. and now for *ur* dare..."
Erik went back to work, but kept checking his phone. It had sounded as though Elle would send the dare right away, but she kept him in suspense.
When she finally texted, it wasn't exactly what he expected. The message simply read "call me about ur dare. Too hard to explain in txt"
On his next break, Erik called her.
When she picked up, he said "Good God, girl, you nearly killed me with that!! I had no idea it would be so intense! I didn't expect you to show so much."
" Yeah well, I didn't want to disappoint."
" You didn't, believe me. Oh my goodness, that was hot. I can't wait to, uhh, be alone to relieve some of the pent up tension!" He laughed and continued, "I should never have watched that at work. So, what about my dare requires a phone call, Elle?"
"Well," she said, "I need to coordinate the timing, I guess."
"What do you mean?"
"I need to know when you would have a block of time alone. No Mrs. around the house."
Erik had an excited smile in his voice when he answered, "That's easy. I'm off every Tuesday, and she works. But why does the timing matter? What are you cooking up?"
Elle laughed and said, "Erik, you had me masturbate practically in public! I think turnabout is fair play..."
"Won't work at my house," he interrupted. "The house isn't visible from the street."
"You haven't even heard the dare yet, silly!" she chided.
"Oh! Okay. Well, what is it then? I figured you wanted me to jerk off in some risky way..."
"I do. You're going to masturbate for an audience."
"Whoa, wait a minute? You're kidding, right? I mean, there was only a slim chance of anyone seeing you! I don't think I can jerk off in front of some stranger! What if they call the police??"
"I'm not going to have you jerk off for a stranger. You're going to masturbate for me. Live, on a video call."
Erik was momentarily stunned. He hadn't imagined things going in this direction. Well, he had imagined it, in truth, but he didn't think they would do anything like this. It was just a fantasy.
"I don't know, Elle," he demurred, "I thought we had kind of, I don't know, a silent agreement or something, about not having cybersex..."
"It's a little late for that, don't you think? I'm pretty sure you watched me masturbate!"
"Well, yeah, but that wasn't live! It was just a video. And I could barely see anything!"
Elle laughed. "Oh yeah? Do you think your wife would be hunky-dory with it, just because it was videoed instead of live? Be real, Erik."
"Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know." He took a deep breath. "Okay. I accept your dare, on one condition. No actual cybersex, please? You just get to watch, but it would feel tooo, I don't know, just too much like cheating if we interacted."
Elle chuckled at him yet again. It was amazing how easily Erik could fool himself. It was one of the things she found both endearing and infuriating about him, and she found a perverse thrill in bursting his bubble of illusion.
"Okay Erik, you have a deal. But it IS cheating, you know! Fairly benign, yes, and you know you're safe with me, but it's a kind of cheating, so don't try to fool yourself. Besides that, you like it. Don't deny it!"
He felt a cold thrill run through him, because, as always, he knew she was right. It was one of the things that both endeared and infuriated him about her -- she could always see through the bullshit he told himself. She never held it against him, though.
