I had been dating Sarah for almost a year after meeting her at a church retreat. At that time, Sarah was still a senior in college, and I was a couple of years older with a place of my own and a full-time job. She was a petite, shy little thing, with shoulder-length blonde hair and small, but perky, breasts. Imagine a much shorter version of Taylor Swift. She had a sheltered upbringing, coming from a close-knit family who were as wholesome as an 80s sitcom. Her big sister was her best friend, with her mother coming in close behind.
We took things slow as she never had a serious boyfriend before. It didn't help that she was insecure about her body. After a couple of months, we finally had sex but it always had to be with the lights off and under the covers. I could never get her to climax, even when I went down on her. It really frustrated me as female orgasms were my biggest turn on. I still held onto hope as she did confess that she is able to cum when masturbating in the tub.
Now with Sarah out of college and working an entry-level job, she moved into a cheap one-bedroom apartment. I had offered for her to stay with me, but she insisted that she wanted privacy and some freedom in her new adult life. That's where the nightmare started.
Sarah had struck up an acquaintance with an old man who lived across the hallway. They met in the laundry room and would exchange long conversations that she would tell me about on our dates. I didn't like the situation at all. He was not only old, probably in his mid-to-late fifties, but chubby and slovenly. He never looked clean shaven and had the withered face of a smoker. According to Sarah, he was her guardian angel since he would walk her to her car at night to make sure she was safe. I figured he had nothing better else to do. He didn't have a job, but collected disability benefits because of a "bad knee." The only family he mentioned was an estranged daughter who Sarah reminded him of.
I reasoned that Sarah was still young and naive, and a little bit too trusting, to understand this type of relationship can be dangerous, or at least lead to a misunderstanding. What was surprising was how she acted around him. Often when I picked her up on dates, he would just so happen to be leaving his apartment. I would stand there awkwardly while Sarah excitedly chatted with him. He would work in raunchy jokes and she'd giggle and smile at me, without any sort of modesty. I felt crazy not knowing whether she was flirting with him or just being nice, but in either case, I knew the old man was enjoying getting the attention of a young attractive girl. I didn't confront her about my boiling jealousy because I didn't want to seem petty or weak, and admittingly I was even afraid of planting the idea that he was lusting after her, as who knows what racy thoughts might spring in her maybe-not-so-innocent mind.
One night I went over to her apartment for some Netflix-and-chill, but when Sarah opened the door, I saw the old man sitting on her couch. She explained it was his birthday and didn't want him to be alone. He certainly wasn't dressed for the occasion, wearing just gray sweatpants and a plain shirt with what appeared to be a pasta stain on it. If he wanted to hide his pot belly, he chose the wrong attire.
But what made my skin crawl was that she sat right next to him, forcing me to roll over her computer chair for a place to sit. The old man was gulping down a six-pack of cheap beer. Sarah didn't like the taste of alcohol and I had no interest in drinking watered-down piss from a can, not that he offered me any. So Sarah and I watched him finish one beer after another while he recounted a story of how he tried to proposition a young cocktail waitress for sex at a casino before he got kicked out. She hung onto every word while I rolled my eyes and glanced at her to study her body language. She was wearing a short black skirt with a pink spaghetti strap top. She had her legs resting on the couch cushion, with her index finger on her lower lip and her other hand running up and down her thigh ever so slightly.
"So...," the old man said to Sarah with a wry smile. "Are you wearing them?"
Sarah looked immediately embarrassed. She turned to me and then back at him with her eyes wide. She let out a nervous laugh.
"I think you're a little drunk," she teased.
"But it's my birthday gift."
"Yeah, but I was kinda hoping you would forget."
It was clear that they had some sort of inside joke that I was not a part of, and it made me feel so invisible. With all of the courage I could muster, I asked Sarah what they were talking about.
"We were folding clothes in the laundry room today, and he took a liking to one of my panties. He wouldn't stop begging me to wear them tonight for his birthday. I told him I would think about it. It was just a joke."
I didn't have to ask her which ones. She owned only one sexy pair: green lace panties she bought as a Valentine's Day gift.
The old man tapped her knee. "You still haven't answered my question, are you wearing them?"
Sarah let out a sigh. "I can't believe you're making me do this." Her face was beet red, and so was mine.
After a moment's pause, Sarah stood up from the couch with her back turned to him and pulled up her black skirt to reveal her green lace panties. They were hugging her ass. With his fat face gawking at her soft tush, she stood on her toes to lift up and clench her cheeks. I sat there frozen in disbelief. A bolt of crippling jealousy radiated throughout my body. She looked over her shoulder to see the old man's expression. I couldn't tell whether she was mortified or turned on: both look the same on the face of an innocent girl. She twirled around to show off the front, the contours of her pussy clearly in his sight, and then, mercifully, she let her skirt drape back down to her thighs and retreated on the couch.
"You've had your fun, now let's change the subject," Sarah whined.
But that wouldn't be so easy. The old man was sporting a huge erection inside his sweatpants. I wasn't even quite sure if he had underwear on, as his dick was raised at full staff.
Silence washed over the room. Sarah's eyes were fixated on his bulge. After taking it all in, she then cleared her throat and stared at the floor.
The old man hunched over and broke the ice. "I'm getting a little low on beer." He looked at me. "How about you get me another six-pack from the gas station down the street?"
That might have been the first thing he said to me to all night.
"Why not get it yourself?" I shot back, my fist clenching at my side.
"I'm in no condition to drive," he huffed. "And I've had too many DUIs in my lifetime to risk another."
