I was nervously trembling at the prospect of suggesting to my date what I was considering.
The two of us were still chilling on the couch watching music videos, drinking raspberry vodka with iced tea and taking hits of the bong when buddy texted. I only briefly glanced at the message before a sinking feeling came over me. I didn't expect to hear from him until after my date was done, but things had gone well. We got comfortable and I all but forgot about the potential for this situation to arise. Now that it had, I found myself conflicted.
Do I dare express my innermost desire?
My date was not oblivious to whatever was arising in me. He was very quiet and obviously noted the shift in my mood. He looked inquisitive but didn't broach the subject of who it might be hitting me up this late at night. Or why.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and contemplated whether or not divulging my secret arrangement to my date was in my best interest. The vibe was now off and I felt like I owed him an explanation.
I didn't know where to start explaining the situation. I was scared of just blurting it out. My heart raced and I felt out of breath, my inhales becoming sharper and my exhales morphing into short panting. My sex drive was in high gear. I imagined what could happen, and how hot it would be, but was at a loss for how it could possibly come to be. I had no idea how to set it in motion or what might unfold once I did. What will happen afterwards?
Was I prepared to deal with whatever might transpire if I cross the line into uncharted territory?
At some point the tension became unbearable. I couldn't face my date or look into his eyes. I felt his gaze and sensed his concern. I was overcome with equal measures of shame and sexual craving. I didn't know if I could handle the embarrassment of a rejection or if our still fresh relationship would suffer irreparable damage if I put this naughty idea out there for his consideration.
What if he is into it though? I'll never know unless I find out.
I was weak to this temptation.
Discomfort is the first step in bringing a fantasy to reality.
With that thought at the forefront of my mind, I broke my silence.
"My buddy wants to come over."
"Oh?"
I got straight to the point.
"We have an arrangement. He comes over and lets me go down on him."
I let the words sink in before continuing. I tried to gauge his reaction but he was unflinching, as if he wasn't all that surprised at the revelation that I have a fuck buddy. He remained motionless next to me with a blank expression.
I had no choice but to speak my mind.
"I am wondering if it would interest you to see me and him together like that."
There was no turning back now. There was no tip toeing around the topic. I resisted the compulsion to blabber on about the details and left the ball in his court. I was going to wait and see what he had to say before risking saying anything else, lest I make it even more awkward.
Another lengthy moment of silence. I passed the point of no return. I either just tarnished our budding relationship or unlocked a new level of curiosity. I was expecting the former but hoped for the latter.
"Do I wanna watch?" he said plainly. He was stupified.
When he shifted in his seat, a tell-tale sign of a growing erection, I figured I had my answer.
I reached for my phone. "What should I tell him?"
"He's okay with it? Me watching?"
"It will be a first. Let's see."
I conferred with my buddy in a series of rapid fire text messages. I asked if my date could stay and watch. He said as long as he keeps it between us and tells nobody. I assured him and he sent a thumbs up.
It was happening. I could hardly believe it but it was happening. With little to no resistance.
