"Care to make your next game a little more interesting, boys?"
My eyes darted to Dan's wife, who was just reaching the bottom of the stairs with the necks of three fresh bottles of beer in one hand. Dan and I had just finished our second game of pool in his basement; neither of us was very good, but we were about evenly matched and had split the two games.
"Just having you hang around would make the game more interesting," I thought to myself, scanning Melissa's curves appreciatively but furtively -- or so I thought. Melissa is adorable; she's all Mary Ann and no Ginger, with a smile that lights up her whole face, dirty-blonde hair just past her shoulders that she usually wears in a ponytail, and a body that even 15 years and two kids later doesn't let you forget she'd been a darn good gymnast through college.
Out loud I was more polite: "What did you have in mind?"
"Just a little wager," she said, passing out two of the beers and taking a swallow from the third. Then she fixed her lovely green eyes on me and said, "If you win, I'll give you a blowjob."
I had just taken a swig from my beer, and I almost choked on it. There'd never been a hint of anything like that between us, and I was caught completely off guard. I glanced at Dan, then back at Melissa, and said intelligently, "Excuse me?"
"If you win, I'll suck your cock," Melissa said matter-of-factly.
Recovering slowly, I said, "Uh, OK, uh ... and if Dan wins?"
"Then I get to watch you do him," she said.
I almost choked again even though I didn't have anything in my mouth. "What?" I said.
"If Dan wins, I get to watch you suck his cock," she repeated. I stared at her, speechless.
She shrugged. "I've always wanted to watch a guy give a blowjob, and Dan won't do it," she said.
"What makes you think I will?" I asked.
"We've seen the way you look at me," she said. "I think you'll do pretty much anything I ask you to." Apparently I hadn't been as furtive as I thought as I've watched her -- and I have watched her, ever since Dan introduced us when they were dating. But there was no accusation in her voice; there might have even been a little pride.
As I was thinking about how to reply, I saw her gaze drift south, and her smile turned a little mischievous; I knew she could tell through my jeans that I had a semi. I don't fluster easily, but I was flustered now.
"I'm not, uh, I mean, I've never, uh ..."
"Steve, we know you're straight," she said. "That's what makes this so hot for me. I want to know that a straight guy is so into me that he'd take a bet like this. And I think you're that into me."
Looking at Dan, I said, "I'm sorry, dude. I've never meant any disrespect."
He laughed. "Never took it that way, buddy. I know she's hotter than sin. It bugs me sometimes when strangers look at her the way you do, but I know you'd never do anything behind my back. And we've had some great sex talking about you going home and jerking off to the image of her in your head."
I started to protest, but he was right; I had done that more than once. "So ... you're cool with the bet she suggested?" I said. "You're cool with watching her go down on me after I win the next game?"
"Hell yeah I'm cool with it -- but you're not going to win."
"And you're cool with that too, with the idea of me going down on you?" I asked, a little incredulously.
"Hey, I figure if I close my eyes you might as well be Emma Watson. And I'm cool with anything that turns her on."
"But not enough to be the suck-ER instead of the suck-EE," I said, and instantly regretted it. I shouldn't have made him look bad in front of his wife.
Melissa rescued the situation, though. "Actually, I like it better this way. If you do him, I get to see two things I really want to see: a guy sucking cock because I asked him to, and what Dan looks like getting head from someone else."
"I don't know," I said. "Since you both obviously already know, I'll admit I'd do a lot for the chance to get a blowjob from you. But if I lose ... I don't know."
"Well, let me ask you a couple of questions," Dan said. "Do you think it would turn you gay?"
"No. I mean, you're an OK looking guy for a dumb jock" -- chuckles all around at this -- "but I'm never gonna get turned on by the thought of YOU naked."
"Good. Does the idea disgust you?"
"Not really. Not much that adults can do together disgusts me."
"Are you worried people might find out?"
"No. I trust you both about that."
"Are you afraid it will hurt?"
"I doubt it would hurt."
"Are you worried about the cum?"
"Hadn't really thought that far ahead, but uh, yeah, I guess."
"Any other reasons you wouldn't do it?"
