I fell to my knees, sweat dripping down my face.
I was breathing hard.
It was only sex. I shouldn't be breathing this hard.
But I was. My heart was pounding in my chest.
I wiped sweat from my eyes and looked at Lizzie on the couch.
Her legs hanging off, quivering, it looked like she was about to fall off.
That had blown my mind.
Hers too, from the look of it.
It wasn't the sensation, though we were both good playing our hips. It wasn't the visuals, though her bod was tight.
No.
That afternoon, before leaving her office, Lizzie had blown her boss.
I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when. The "cheat" was her kink. Her guilty obsession. She came over to my place and told me all about it. She broke down, crying, but I knew it was coming.
Nobody stormed off.
Nobody shouted.
Nobody got angry.
Instead... we fucked.
I dropped my head, the sweat still dripping down my face.
This was the most intense... whatever the fuck this was. I hadn't felt my heart pound like this since people were shooting at me. All it took was... my girlfriend cheating on me.
I snorted back a laugh. "Fuck."
Lizzie lolled her head to the side. "You okay?"
"I gotta... I need... Fuck."
She propped herself up on her elbows, her pert nipples drawing my eyes. "That doesn't seem 'okay'."
"No, yeah, we're good. I'm just not sure how to handle getting our freak on like this."
"Too much?"
I shook my head, wiping my face again. "Gonna be totally honest... and this might change down the road... but my gut instinct was that you blowing your boss was legendary foreplay for an epic fuck."
"So... we're okay?"
I gestured around the apartment, at our sweaty bodies... "You're still nervous?"
"Yeah, I'm still nervous! I've never had a guy able to handle... me... before. I'm not 'normal'."
"No," I laughed. "You're definitely not normal."
"No, I'm not! You're not normal, either, weirdo. That thing you do with your abs...?" She looked around, at me, at us. "None of this is normal!"
"You want to be normal?"
She blinked away tears and sweat. "No."
"Okay, then. We don't take each other for granted. We keep feeling what we're feeling, and we talk about it. Hide what you need to hide, but don't hide what you're feeling. We do that... and I think we'll be..."
"What?"
"We'll be long term."
Her eyes got just a little wider.

Lizzy stayed at my place that night. She stayed mostly naked at my place.
She wore her work shirt, no bra, and I'm not sure why. To remind me she was at work today? That she'd blown her manager? That's what it was doing. Maybe she was just self-conscious of A-cup boobs on her toned, size-6 frame.
Didn't matter, she was prancing -- nearly floating -- around the apartment. The shirt only covered the top half of her ass and there was a hint of landing strip on the other side, with a full view of the promised land between a smooth thigh gap.
The smell of our sex waxed and waned the rest of the night, and I loved watching her naked bottom bounce around. Every time she sat down, it was like her pussy was sprinkling fairly dust.
We had Chinese delivered and we were mid-meal before sex circled back to the conversation.
"Liz..."
Her mouth was full of egg roll. "Yef?"
"We're at two months."
"Oh, my god," she chewed. "We are!"
"Question."
"Hmm...?"
"Before your boss, did you cheat on me?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Honest."
"So your first 'cheat' between us overlapped with your recurring work cheat?"
She thought about it a second, then nodded. "Yes."
"Probably made it extra intense."
She bit her lip and wrinkled her nose. It was one of those stupid-cute expressions that just made like cotton candy.
"You're a kinky little bitch, you know that?"
She nodded. "Don't think it's a coincidence that I haven't done a 'girls night out' since the night we met. That's when I usually cheated."
I nodded. "Have you thought about it?"
"Cheating? Of course. I see a dozen guys every day I'd blow in a heartbeat."
Something about that: I had to adjust my package. "Not gonna lie: it turns me on to hear you say that."
She grinned and shrugged. "What if I had cheated with another guy already? I mean, like, besides my boss..."
"And kept it secret?"
"Uh-huh. Like, maybe I met a guy and just had to suck a cock... but I was nervous about telling you."
"That would be interesting."
"Would you still love me?"
"Yeah," was my instant answer. It was felt like there was more, though, and it looked like she knew it. I opened my mouth, not really knowing what would come out next. "Yeah, I would."
She bit her lip. "Did I see you just realizing that?"
"Was it that obvious?"
"You looked shocked."
"I am shocked." I closed my eyes and let my head fall back. I was going to think this through, out-loud. "You cheating wouldn't be a surprise, though not telling me would kind-of be. Not a deal-breaker, though. Is there something I should know?"
She answered over another bite. "I've cheated for reals in my head a hundred times, but not really for reals."
I think I understood that... "Anybody in particular?"
