Chapter 6 β Hidden Beauty
"So, how was the birthday dinner?" Marti began
I reached for the leftover carrot sticks from the night before and washed them down with a swallow of her Sauvignon Blanc. We had just gotten back to her apartment after an evening of free music at the local pub and I was again feeling itchy, just like I had every day now since my birthday. It had been five days, and I had had sex all five of them, two with Jon and three with myself.
I needed to tell someone of my "illness" (one I must admit that I already was enjoying like a kid who finally eats his first bowl of ice cream at age 12), and seek some advice. Although I knew Marti's view might be a bit slanted, and I confess not the direction I had wanted the first four days, but by the fifth day, I realized that it was her advice I really wanted. Whereas someone else like the old me would try to figure out what was wrong with me, Marti would see it as a blessed event, one that needed to be exploited.
"It went just as you said, dinner and an orgy!" I said with a straight face.
"Really?"
"Really, really."
"So Jon was in the mood."
"I think he is always in the mood, but I let him know in unquestionable fashion that I was open for the suggestion.'
Marti just blinked at me. "You? You let HIM know?"
"Yep."
"Girl, I sense a real story brewing here, I want all the details." She said as she flopped on the couch after changing into a thin cotton sleep pants and top outfit, made strictly for comfort and everyday use at home.
"Well."
"Out with it now! There is nothing I like better than a good old sex story, especially when it concerns my best friend and especially when it is my best friend who has never asked for sex in her whole life."
"OK. I have a confession to make."
"Ooooooui, starting with a confession, let me get another glass of wine before you start, cause this is sounding like something I want to cherish, not just hear."
Marti got up from the couch and bounded to the kitchen for a refill. By the way her butt and breasts moved inside the lounging outfit she had on, it was apparent that it was the only thing she was wearing, and for some reason that thought stoked again the fires of my new found sex life.
Marti came back into the living room more carefully as she did not want to spill the wine.
As she gathered a few of the oversized decorative pillows under her, she said, " OK, spare me nothing, I want to hear it all."
So I started with the Fresh Market and what happened there, and then went into great detail about making it with myself for the first time. I skipped the part about the cucumber as I was a bit embarrassed to tell that part, but I did talk about the rest. I confessed that for whatever reason I was all of a sudden consumed by sexual thoughts, fantasies about things I never thought of before, that I saw things as being beautiful and desirable that I never did before, like Jon's dick. And then I told her about the sex Jon and I had had, which was no different than before, only that I felt like it was different because I was as much a part of it as Jon was.
"Jess, the story was great, and I'm thrilled that you are finding sex so wonderful, but I have to tell you, your love making with Jon is boring and your idea of letting Jon know you would be interested is a yawner at best."
"I know." I said, "But I just don't know what to do. Well, I know what I want to do, but I just don't know how to go about it. And, then there is the other thing."
"What other thing?"
