Chapter 3: Eri Revealed
'I want you to use me' said Eri. This time she remembered to look Steve straight into his eyes. 'You hear that Jeff,' said Steve to Eri’s husband, 'this isn't about what you want, or even what I want, it's about what Eri wants.' This was what Steve wanted to get out in the open. He wasn't going to take advantage of his old friend. Jeff was clearly anxious to keep his marriage together and his pretty Japanese wife happy. He was so anxious that he'd been prepared to ask his old friend Steve to help keep her happy.
But Steve wasn't keen to take advantage of his friend's concern. He looked down at the naked woman who knelt in front of him. He thought he saw more clearly than Jeff did what was really happening here. He wanted to get Eri to admit that she wanted to enjoy some sex play outside the marital bed. He didn't want to feel guilty about having a ride on the back of his old friend's feeling of failure. He did want to have this beautiful young wife, but it would be because she wanted it, not because his friend was desperate. And now he felt he had got to the truth of what was happening.
Immediately he met her he knew it was Eri who was the stronger partner in this marriage. She was a woman who knew what she wanted even if she kept it well concealed beneath a veneer of her Asian politeness. The next step was going to be what she wanted, and Steve would get her to make that plain to all of them. The natural order, what convention dictated, was that she should follow her husband's wishes. But Jeff's wishes had not been going in the direction that Eri wanted. Her scheme had been to get what she wanted by making Jeff feel inadequate.
Now Steve had broken through that veneer - Eri has admitted to her husband that it was she who wanted more. She had been steering Jeff into thinking that it was his poor performance in bed that led him to an embarrassing desire to see his wife get satisfaction from another man. It was the only way she thought she could make it could work for her. But Steve knew there was another way - a way that was more honest and would give her even more of what she wanted.
It meant she had to have the courage to say what she wanted and to then take the consequences and her share of the responsibility. It was not the way Eri had handled her complex sexuality before. But now she had spoken her real desires out loud as she knelt naked between these two men, and once she did so she felt an unexpected sense of release.
They hadn't reviled her, they hadn't rejected her, instead they were both smiling down at her with perhaps even greater affection than before. This was a new feeling for this beautiful woman. She wasn't putting on a 'face', a construct to mask her true desires, she had instead made it clear what she wanted and they had accepted it, and had accepted her. There was no doubt that Steve had tapped into her thoughts in a way that no one had before.
'Okay Eri, now we all know where we stand and what we want, would you kiss your husband.' said Steve, and he offered her his hand to help her stand. Eri turned back to Jeff and stretched up to kiss him. As she did so Steve surprise her yet again. While she had her arms on her husband's shoulders she raised herself just a little on her toes to reach his lips. Steve quickly moved behind her and, with his hands on each of her fine white buttocks, pressed his finger into that sweet tight rose bud of her arse.
Eri gasped with surprise, and then let out a groan of pleasure as she felt Steve's probe her rear entrance. Steve had decided that his first move would be to violate her where she would expect it least. It confirmed that no part of Eri's body was either not available to him, and perhaps more importantly, not desirable to him. She felt her knees tremble and her embrace of her husband turned into a grip of support as she felt herself go weak as Steve probed her hard. He stood up close and behind her. His hands travelled up her thighs and beyond to grab at her breasts quite roughly. He pulled her away from her husband and stretched around her shoulder. When she turned her head toward him he covered her mouth with his, crushing her breasts in his embrace as he did so. Eri loved his firm handling.
Jeff looked on as his wife fell into an embrace with his old friend. He felt himself growing hard watching Steve's hands explore her body. There was something very natural about the way these two who had just met seemed to be so comfortable together. There seemed to be a bond between them, which had been immediate and strong. He felt that Steve understood his wife in a way which he had himself so far failed to do.
