A characters are over 18. A reader asked for and gave me the particulars for this story. It is based on an event that happened when she was in college. A road not taken.

"So what's your go-to fantasy when you masturbate?" Georgie asked the group of inebriated women. The women were all in their late twenties or early thirties. The diminutive brunette turned to someone she'd gone to college with and demanded, "Danielle, why don't you answer first?"
The pretty, young woman looked flustered. Her face turned red. She was obviously uncomfortable with the question.
"You're such a bitch for putting our good girl on the spot, Georgie. You invite her over for lunch to meet some old and new friends and you spring that question on her? No wonder you're #1 on everyone's frenemy list," Emily said with a laugh.
"Yes," Laura agreed. "That type of question should be reserved for those who are sexually adventurous. Like me!" She laughed and said, "My fantasy is a guy going down on me."
"Who?" Georgie asked.
Laura put a finger on her chin, paused appearing to think, and said, "My current boyfriend, a hot ex, or a handsome stranger. It depends upon my mood."
"For me," Hannah said. "It's seducing my boyfriend by blindfolding him and tying him to a chair."
The other women oohed and ahhed.
Monica said, "For me, it's the exact opposite, I want my lover to take control in the bedroom. Tie me up, tell me what to do, or just use me. I'm the boss at work. I make all the decisions. When I come home, I'm worn out. I want to hand the reins over to someone else."
Some of the women nodded with an understanding look on their faces.
Alex said, "I think about a hot guy pounding me while I hold a vibrator against my clit."
"Yeah!" someone cheered.
Sharon said, "Lately it's been being with two partners at the same time. In my fantasies, I find myself in the middle of two men and they shower me with attention."
Some women laughed. Others cheered.
"I think the best masturbation images," Evie said, "are real memories. I find them to be more vivid, more exciting than purely imagined people or actions. I admit sometimes I embellish real events. For example, I take a memory of a hot guy I made out with but was too shy or scared to have sex with. In my fantasy, we go to the bedroom where we do things I didn't have the nerve to do at the time."
Evie looked around the room and said, "This gives me a full portfolio of rich, hot, intense stories to use to get off."
A discussion ensued. The ladies fiercely debated Evie's idea. In the end, most agreed with her.
Danielle sat quietly on the sofa drinking an amaretto sour and stared wide-eyed at the group of women. She didn't have a go-to fantasy to share. She was too embarrassed to admit that she, a married woman and mother of three, masturbated.

Danielle returned home around five o'clock and entered a quiet house. She called out, "Hello. Anyone home?"
There was no answer.
She chuckled and said, "This is unusual. With three kids and a husband, there is always noise. Always someone home."
She went into the kitchen and found a note on the counter. It read,
Darling,
My mother is having a plumbing emergency. The toilet isn't working. I'm running
over to have a look. The kids were fighting so much, I didn't dare leave them
home.
I had to promise them dinner at McDonald's to get them into the car.
You can join us, if you like or better yet, enjoy some quiet me-time.
I'll keep them out until 8:30.
Your Sweet Man,
John
"Oh, you are a very sweet man," Danielle gushed. "No family dinner to cook. Peace and quiet and more than three hours to myself, whatever shall I do? A bath. A hot bath with no one barging in or banging on the door. God! This will be heaven."
She went upstairs and undressed. She slipped a robe on her naked body, went to the bathroom, and began filling the tub. While the water ran, she used the toilet. Done, she got up and washed her hands.
She checked on the tub. "Oh, this is perfect. I like the water hot, as hot as I can stand it."
She slipped off her robe. She saw her reflection in the mirror; she saw a pretty woman of medium height with brown hair and hazel eyes. She cupped her large breasts and said, "I don't have the same body I did as a teenager, but it's not bad for a mother of three."
"Oh. Hot. Hot. Hot," she said as she stepped into the tub and lowered her body into the water.
"Mmmm," she moaned as the water warmed her. She closed her eyes and luxuriated in the joy of soaking in the tub. The delightful quiet. The peaceful feeling that came from being alone.
