After our trip to Hawaii Jaime and I avoided Sarah and Nick as much as they avoided us, which is to say, as much as possible. Sarah told Nick about what happened in the spa, including my interactions with her. As you can imagine the plane ride home was a bit uncomfortable.
I regretted that the memory of that night was ruined by outside baggage. If Nick had been involved and I hadn't been with Sarah before, maybe it would have brought us closer together, but it was a completely spontaneous event, and there's always unintended consequences when you completely let loose.
Yet at the same time, frankly, I was glad Nick hadn't been involved. Nick has always viewed sex as a means to prove himself; each girl he bags is another trophy on the wall. I would never want Jaime to be used in the same way. If it ends up costing me his friendship, so be it, I've known him long enough to see the emptiness that lies beneath a charming smile. Finally at peace with my love life I'm no longer blinded by my awe for his so-called romantic skills. I almost wish I could say to his face that I fucked his loyal girlfriend like a dirty tramp, but that would make me no better than him.
Almost a month after Hawaii Jaime and I attended a birthday dinner for one of our friends, Michelle. Michelle was also close to Sarah so I wasn't surprised to see them there. Despite our best maneuverings we ended up sitting next to each other, in fact, thanks to Emily's sadistic nature (She was the only person who knew ever detail of the entire affair) Sarah was seated next to me at the end of the table. Nick was on her side, while Jaime sat directly across from me. Each of us expertly wore our friendliest masks, Nick being bold enough to even suggest that it was too bad we hadn't spent more time together since the trip. But before the glaze could crack we each turned to make conversation with the other dinner guests.
I know I shouldn't have even thought about it but Sarah looked amazing again that night. She had on a backless black dress with a plunging neckline. Her lush brown hair was pinned up on her head revealing her long elegant neck. Sitting next to her engulfed by her trademark mixture of alluring scents I couldn't help but remember for a moment the passionate embraces between the two of us. I saw the look Jaime gave when Sarah sat next to me, so being the best boyfriend I could, I directed all my attention away from that which held my mind.
During dinner I felt a foot rub the lower half of my left leg. Alarmed I glanced immediately at Jaime who reassured me with a mischievous smile. We had both agreed to leave early, and Jaime was playfully letting me know the plan remained the same. Luckily the tablecloth at the Italian restaurant was long enough to hide the actions of Jaime's teasing foot as she slid it under the bottom of my pants and massaged my bare lower leg. Both of us exhibited a suppressed smile, which was caught by Emily who accidentally knocked into Jaime's leg as she re-crossed her own, "Behave, you lovebirds. I don't want to see the two of you coming out of the bathroom in handcuffs," rebuffed Emily like a nun catching two kids passing notes.
We both laughed as our legs detracted, "Or what? You'll slap me with a ruler," I lamely joked in response.
"I'd make you spank me," Emily devilishly replied as we returned to our previous conversations.
I felt another foot on my right leg and at first I thought it was just Jaime trying with the other leg, but the movement was totally different and the foot was in the opposite direction.. Realizing it was Sarah I quickly moved my leg away and shot a discreet disapproving look at Sarah who without turning her head slid a hand onto my lap. Playing footsie with Jaime had stirred my penis awake and to my horror it quickly hardened with Sarah's hand pressed against it rubbing it into my thigh. Jaime was paying attention to the person next to her and did not see the shock that registered on my face. I quickly composed myself and as covertly as possible removed Sarah's hand from my lap.
"But somebody likes it there," whispered Sarah as she turned to look behind me.
"That wasn't from you," I curtly replied from the side of my mouth.
"It certainly felt like it was for me. Don't tell me you're not tired of that cheap piece," whispered back Sarah again sliding her hand onto my thigh.
"The only cheap piece here is you," I coldly snapped back removing Sarah's hand from my thigh. But she surprised me by clasping onto my hand and tugging it under the table onto her lap.
She had her legs spread in her short skirt and before I could remove it she called out to Jaime immediately freezing me as I saw Jaime turn in our direction, "Jaime, I love those earrings you have on. Where did you get them?" she asked animatedly, smiling brightly as she took the opportunity to seize control of my hand and slide it up her skirt. I'll be honest and admit my resistance was meager, but I was mortified by the threat of Jaime catching any hint of what was going on below the table.
Jaime's response was short and she quickly turned back not even glancing at me. Curious, I allowed Sarah to bring my hand to her exposed pussy. Just the slight touch I allowed myself confirmed the fact that it was swollen and wet. Seeing the smile on Sarah's face knowing she had won caused me to shamefully pull my hand away.
"I know you love it. Smell it, see how ready I am. You can have it; you can have it right now," gloated Sarah in a light whisper looking over my shoulder.
"Anyone could have it right now," I poorly tried to regain my ground.
"That's so funny," Sarah suddenly blurted out laughing as she put her hand on my shoulder. Jaime (and Nick) immediately looked over Jaime flashing an intense glare at me, "Marcus just reminded me of that tiny pony they gave him to ride in Hawaii, you looked so ridiculous," Sarah loudly proclaimed in her best over the top performance.
"Yeah, that was funny," replied Jaime not laughing, throwing a dagger of glare in my direction before returning to her conversation.
Sarah excused herself from the table giving Nick a quick peck on the cheek as she strutted towards the ladies room. She caught me glancing at her giving her an opportunity to wink. I watched her out of the corner of my eye she stopped before the door and stared at me until I gave in and looked at her. She smiled and shamelessly beckoned me to follow her.
I immediately looked towards Jaime and then to Nick, neither of them catching her signal, but I noticed Emily repressing a smile and she tapped my leg with her hand under the table, "I guess somebody really needs a spanking," she joked completely amused with my situation. I gave her a frustrated look and she immediately dropped it.
Sarah sauntered back a good ten minutes later (I had an eye on my watch). After she settled in she leaned over and lightly whispered out of the corner of her mouth, "I guess someone wants to play hard to get."
"Its not happening, let it go," I firmly stated bending over to pick up something imaginary off of the floor.
"Are you mad?" she pouted, "You know I like it rough."
I shook my head in disbelief. About twenty minutes later dinner was winding down, everybody was talking about heading to the nearest bar. I made eye contact with Jaime make sure our plan was still intact, she nodded and checked her watch. Jaime's cell went off and she went outside to answer it. Nick also left to make a call. Not wanting to be stuck alone with Sarah I went to the bathroom.
Somebody was using the urinal so I went into the large handicap stall. I heard the urinal flush and the guy leave and someone seemed to enter behind him. When I heard the stall door open my first reaction was to tell the intruder it was occupied, but I quickly realized who it was.
