This is a true story. I could make something up and write about other people who are far more interesting and do more exciting things, but I'm too much of an exhibitionist to let an opportunity like this go by.
And too much of a voyeur to not like to think that other people tell true stories too, in the guise of literature.
Don't tell me if this isn't true please. Let me keep my illusions. ;)
I discovered how to masturbate when I was very, very young and since then I've done it at least once a day. I was sexually abused as a child and learned more about sex than many people know as adults before I was even in my teens.
But that's another story perhaps.
In the story I'm about to tell, this figures in because I've always had at least two sex lives. One with someone else, and one by myself. Only occasionally and in certain relationships, did the two ever come together. And this is one of those rare and for me, powerful moments.
I was living at the time in a two bedroom ranch style home, with my girlfriend, and a male friend. He had one room and she and I had the other. It was a good 'starter' house perhaps, for someone who'd just left home as I did, but I can hardly imagine a family living there, or a real adult. The place seemed to be built along the lines of a cheap Mobile home. The internal walls (if I can dignify them with a sturdy sounding name like that), consisted of two-by-fours, with paneling nailed to them. No insulation. No drywall or plaster or anything. Just incredibly thin sheets of some sort of 'wood-like' substance and air. Needless to say any sound travelled almost entirely unhindered from one room to the next, and we seldom had to even raise our voices to call out to one another. You could just speak and be heard distinctly from any room in the house.
This however, made sex a very quiet and sometimes embarrassing business. At least it did for us, we were teenagers (I was just 15 at the time, my friend was 17 I think, and my girlfriend was 19), and although not particularly straight laced or inhibited, we didn't know how to share things like that very well.
On the night in question, I'd been out rather later than usual, and I came in to a dark and seemingly empty house. Not wanting to wake anyone, I didn't call out and I came in as quietly as I could, taking off my shoes by the front door.
It was a hot summer night, and there were several fans on and a fair amount of outside noise (dogs barking, cars going past), so it's not surprising that no one heard me enter. I opened the door to my bedroom and slipped inside. It was very dark and seemed to be empty except for the big fan in the window rattling away on 'high', and I wondered where my girlfriend was. I could see enough by the light of the streetlight outside that the bed had been used, the sheets were all rumpled, the pillows dented, but I couldn't see much else. I unzipped my shorts and let them drop to the floor. Stepping out of them I started to pull my t-shirt over my head and as I did so, I turned towards the double closet that was to the right of the door. I saw some vague movement and I stopped with my shirt halfway up, and tried to peer through the gloom. In the deep shadows of the closet, I could see a faint, ghostly white shape moving rhythmically. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I started to make out the shape of my girlfriends bottom and part of her back. She was apparently on her knees, facing into the closet and only her ass and legs were sticking out. She was moving her bottom in slow circles and as I watched, I could make out her fingers coming up between her legs occasionally, sometimes sliding into her.
