Karen and I should have gotten married. The great sex should have shown us how compatible we were. But we were young and stupid, both lousy at understanding our feelings, and worse at expressing them ... so we never thought of marriage and eventually we split.
A few years later we were both married to other people, both with 3-year-old boys, and she was living on the other side of the country. We emailed a few times a year, but that was all. So I was surprised one day when Karen called.
"Hiya Brent. Guess who?"
"No guessing, sweetie. If ever I don't recognize your voice ... somebody should check my pulse."
We spent a few minutes catching up, then she told me why she called.
"I'm going to be in your lovely city next weekend and I think we should get together."
I had never met her husband and didn't really want to. But I thought I should offer to entertain.
"We could have you and Rob over to the house for a cookout Saturday," I offered.
"Rob's not coming," she said. "It's just me and Teddy."
"Okay, I'd love to meet your boy and we could still have that cookout."
She hesitated.
"Does Ginny still work weekends?"
"Yeah, her hobby has turned into a business so she's working 12-hour days on weekends. Brian and I run errands and go to the playground."
"So maybe you and Brian could break free and come over to Connie's for the day?"
I was a little surprised at the mention of Connie. Karen and Connie had been best friends through college, and roommates for several years. But Connie had not approved of me when I was dating Karen. She thought I wasn't good enough for her roomie. In those days she enjoyed teasing me about my often-interrupted college studies and my bartending jobs. Connie and I never actually fought, but our relationship was far from close.
Connie graduated at the top of her class and was a law professor. She was also married to a lawyer and had a 4-year-old girl.
"So ... you're staying at Connie's?"
"Yeah, she's got a big house with a pool. Her husband will be at some seminar in Chicago, but she's offered to play hostess. And I'm desperate to meet your little boy. I can't wait to see you being a Daddy!"
So we arranged to meet at Connie's house at midday the following Saturday. But before she hung up, Karen said something that started me wondering.
"You won't tell Ginny about our date, will you?"
I admitted that I probably wouldn't tell my wife I'd be seeing an old girlfriend.
"Good. Then we'll see you Saturday."
"Hmm," I thought, hanging up.
It never occurred to me that Karen has sex in mind because a few years into her marriage she'd developed VVS, or Vulvar Vestibular Syndrome. It's a little-known condition that makes sex painful or impossible. Her emails over the years gave me a few details and I gathered that her sex life had come to an end. Even masturbating was usually too painful. It was hard to imagine someone like Karen doing without sex, but she hinted she was celibate.
While waiting for Saturday to roll around, I found myself recalling some of the more intimate details of my time with Karen ... including some that involved Connie, at least second-hand.
Karen and I tried a lot of things in bed, and one fun thing was sharing our fantasies. That's how I found out Karen lusted after Connie.
At first she would only tell me she had fantasies about making love to other women. For awhile I enjoyed asking her if she was attracted to various girls we knew, and I had great fantasies of her fucking them. I amused her by asking about a couple of girls in particular.
"Why would I be attracted to HER?" she said, after I asked about one girl.
"Well, I know you like athletic guys and SHE'S athletic."
"Hah, you have no idea!"
She was right. When Karen finally revealed that Connie turned her on I was surprised, but intrigued. They had always been close, but her sexual interest apparently started once when Connie noisily fucked a guy on their couch while Karen pretended to sleep in a nearby chair. Something awoke in Karen when she saw Connie's small tits bobbing and heard her gasp through an orgasm. Karen realized SHE wanted to be the one making Connie come! She waited until Connie and her partner left, then quickly masturbated to a powerful climax!
So I started fantasizing about Karen and Connie fucking ... and then I started telling Karen about my fantasies.
