Much is made about the risks of developing online friendships and how meetings between those who have only typed to each other are usually disappointing. Obviously, considering that vast number of people using this type of communication medium, there must be exceptions to that rule. This is just such an exception.

Cameron had enjoyed getting to know ladies online for a couple of years. He had developed several close friends but felt certain that there was value in keeping such friendships, in part, in his fantasy life and not allowing himself the luxury of actually meeting someone whom he'd "met" online in person. At 6'4", he was a successful professional with a large frame which he kept solid primarily through powerswimming and two days a week in the weight room. His real life social life was quite active, enough so as to be the envy of several of his peers, especially the married ones. Still, when not dating someone seriously, he spent a couple of hours late at night sharpening his seduction skills and knowledge of the female mind (especially sexual mind) by online exploration.
There had been two exceptions to his rule about not meeting someone from online, one ending before it started when the lady on the other side of the internet ended up being someone different (and 100 lbs larger) than the photo of "herself" which she'd shared, and the other ending up in a very enjoyable weekend fling followed by a realization by both that, outside of sex, they didn't really like one another.
Cameron's work often took him to other major cities for several days at a time when negotiating financial agreements. It was during the evening of these long stretches that he did most of his online exploring. One project required him to return to NYC for what appeared to be a several day stretch. No stranger to NY, Cameron was looking forward to spending some time catching up with many of his friends there. This trip was also timely for him, as he'd recently ended a relationship with someone who was growing a bit too needy, too demanding of his time.
After checking into the Marriott Marquis, Cameron began to call a few of his friends. Much to his disappointment, most were themselves traveling or on vacation. This was shaping up to be quite a long week. Unable to sleep, he logged on to see if any of his online friends were around. Fortunately for him, an online friend, Lacey, messaged him almost immediately. As they were chatting, a couple of other friends came online and Cameron settled down into a normal evening on the road.
Soon, Cameron mentioned to Lacey that he was in NY. After a bit of a pause, Lacey reminded Cameron that she lived on Long Island, less than an hour away. Both of them danced around the fact that they were so close, having shared many online intimacies for nearly a year. It dawned on Cameron that they had a mutual friend, someone else with whom he'd had "played", who lived somewhere in NY. Casually mentioning this to Lacey, she confirmed that Gina lived in NY, and that she and Lacey had often talked of meeting each other. Perhaps it was the early hour, or the fact that they were both a bit aroused, but soon they were talking about whether they'd all like to just meet. . nothing expected . . while Cameron was in NY.
Cam and Lacey danced around this topic for nearly an hour before Lacey offered to call Gina, admitting that she did have Gina's telephone number, to see if they'd like to all meet. Before long, Gina was also online - and Cameron quickly assumed that Lacey had called her well before bringing the topic up to him. Though each had shared fantasies and desires with the other, the three had never shared such intimacies online as a group - let alone contemplate the opportunity to meet, to see where all this might lead.
None of them brought up sex or even the idea of what might happen when they met, though it was on their minds. Cameron suggested that, since he had a suite on the business level of the hotel and that there would be fewer questions for either Gina or Lacey to answer were neighbors to notice, that perhaps the best place to meet was at a restaurant near Times Square. Finally, a restaurant was selected. Though all three had exchanged pictures online in the past, they did so again, confirming what they would wear the next evening for dinner.
Cameron could hardly focus on work the next day. He wasn't clear how the evening might go. He knew that Gina was single, likely not involved, and roughly his age. Lacey, with a few years more experience than Cameron, had sparked his imagination many times. She knew he had had some experiences with older ladies, something he loved that might have stemmed from an experience Cameron had when he was a teen.
He fought arousal all day, finally feigning an emergency at his office back home to leave the meeting and get ready for that evening. Leaving his hotel for the short cab ride to the restaurant in Tribeca, all he could think about was the discussions he'd had with both these very sensually minded women.
Walking into the restaurant, he recognized Lacey immediately. She was far more sensual sitting there at the bar than her photos, and her voice made his blood jump. A beautiful brunette, his eyes were drawn to her lips, and the comments she'd made about what she enjoyed doing with them. Introducing himself, she smiled past him to a tallish blonde walking up behind him. Gina had met Lacey earlier and had a chance to get to know one another for a few minutes earlier. Gina very playfully put an arm around both of them, everyone smiling, so much unspoken in the air.
They sat there and had a drink while awaiting their table. Each openly enjoying the look of the others, even sexual innuendos were left alone for now. Once at the table, though, the atmosphere changed. Forced to sit very close together, Cameron between them, a couple of drinks in each of them, they all grew comfortable with the reality that all three of them were growing aroused, were attracted to the others in the group.
