Author's disclaimers
First off, please do not read more into the title than the above two words provide. While they may have had a coercive influence on the writing of this piece, this "person" has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the story below. The misleading title is merely a grudgingly offered dedication… of sorts.
Secondly, thanks to Mr. Gates for making this a much smaller, more closely linked world we all now attempt to peacefully coexist within, all names and certain details (both back then and in the present, which might assist someone {who's business it isn't} in narrowing down this incident to when, where and between whom) have been altered to cover for the non-innocent.
And thirdly, having not actually been there at the time this took place; I can only approximate the words, thoughts, reactions and motivations of those involved. You see, this "incident" was relayed to me by the third party in what happened that night, roughly a year after it went down… while basking in the blissful afterglow of a dark and stormy and intensely intimate night. Which is another story entirely and is not open for discussion, thank you.
Now, here goes.
To begin with, I think brief descriptions of two of the people involved would be in order. Chris (party of the first part) was 5' 10" (tall for a girl) and at the time I'd guess she weighed in right around 165 pounds. She had straight shoulder-length brunette hair, dark eyes, lush full lips and a nose that had been broken several times. Chris's volatile temperament had contributed to this nasal rearrangement on more than a couple of occasions, one of which I was angrily involved in. You see, I broke it for her. If I remember correctly, it was for the fifth time in her life.
Plain and simple, you don't want your arrogant, intrusive nose broken, then don't go around sticking it within range of my fist.
And yet, Chris was an attractive young woman, whom I normally got along with famously. She was generally good natured, funny as hell, and a lot of fun to hit the bars with… providing she didn't get too deep in the tequila bottle. It was one of two weaknesses that I was aware Chris had.
Wanting nothing more in life than to be a good cop, Chris was a serious-minded criminology major. She was also the captain and center forward on the volleyball team. Which meant that Chris was forced to wear an extremely constrictive sports bra when she played. This was to prevent her from giving herself raccoon eyes when she came down after spiking the ball right into the face of the poor girl stationed across the net from her. You see, Chris possessed the measurements to complement her tanned and extraordinarily healthy frame; 38D-29-36.
Kathy (party of the second part) was the exact opposite of Chris. 5' 6", maybe 120 pounds dripping wet, a fair-skinned, dishwater blonde with pale blue eyes, an inline nose, stingy lips, and unimpressive measurements; 32C-26-28 (damn near boyish, in my opinion) pretty much sums her up, at least physically. A third year Med. student, Kathy was the studiously intelligent type… somewhat of a geek-glassed bookworm, but she could be bright and almost cheery when she wanted to be. Not exactly what I would consider to be a barrel of laughs, but she was tolerable in subdued and civilized surroundings.
Kathy could also be moody and was extremely secretive concerning her personal life. This insistent obsession Kathy had for her personal privacy, I truly believe, was the root cause for what happened on the night in question.
Although physically, as well as being emotional and temperamental complete opposites, Chris and Kathy had been friends in college, not exactly what would be considered bosom buddies and pals, but they were close enough that they could let their hair down with each other. On the evening this "incident" was instigated, they were splitting pizza and a pitcher of beer at a watering hole off campus. As is almost always the case with friends and beer, the banter between them inextricably gravitated to sex.
An aside here, if you please. Men do not have an automatic lock on this particular form of verbal entertainment. You get two or more women together and what passes for polite conversation can quickly sink right into the gutter. Women, once their tongues have been sufficiently loosened (either with enough booze, or in the spirit of "friendly" female competition), will tell relative strangers intimate things about their lives they would never even consider revealing to anyone close to them, especially to another woman who's close to them. I ask you, what woman in her right mind would knowingly provide potential ammunition to a possible competitor?
Guys, on the other hand, even when they're way down in their cups, boasting about (and forever embellishing upon) their past conquests, can be so damned close-mouthed when it comes to sharing intimate details about themselves. Especially with a woman, and never, ever "God forbid!" with another guy. Men can be so fucking aggravating.
Anyway, Kathy told Chris that her boyfriend had been hinting lately that he would like to try a threesome. Kathy said she wasn't too keen on the idea, but that her boyfriend was becoming more and more vocal about it, and she knew that Chris had been involved in a couple a threesomes, and the two of them really did seem to get along rather well, and well…
Eventually, Kathy got around to asking the question Chris already suspected was coming: Would Chris be interested in joining her and her boyfriend in some sexual antics? For just this one time, so her boyfriend's curiosity could be satisfied and then maybe he would get off this destructive kick that, if allowed to continue, couldn't do anything but destroy an otherwise solid relationship.
Now, a couple of things have to brought out about these two young women, otherwise certain unforeseen responses, along with a possible underlying motivation, might get a bit cloudy further on.
Chris knew for a fact that Kathy had been involved in a threesome in her sophomore year and that, sufficiently liquored up one night, she had confessed that it had been the most amazing sexual experience of her life. So, to Chris, her friend's hesitancy to engage in another one with her current boyfriend had been puzzling.
There was also something Chris knew, that Kathy was unaware anyone even suspected about her. In training to be a good cop, and also snoopy by nature, Chris had given herself a class assignment; dig deep and find out who the hell Kathy was secretly seeing. It turned out that unassuming Kathy was seeing another student on campus, a black guy. This would be a mega taboo back in Kathy's small Midwestern town, but it really wasn't all that big a thing in the more cosmopolitan atmosphere of a Big Ten college town. So, this could very well have been behind Kathy's apparent reluctance to bring the matter up with her friend.
However, something else naive Kathy was also unaware of was that Chris had been with several black guys in the past three years. She had found them to be not only sexually aggressive…even overtly demanding…in bed, but all three guys had provided her with not just multiple, but double quadruple orgasms that had been unbelievably intense. She had reached sexual heights with these possessive black guys which, so far, had been unattainable with the normal, run-of-the-mill white guys.
Why this particular interracial aspect turned her on the way it did was something Chris didn't even bother questioning. She merely accepted it as being an undeniable fact of her sex life and enjoyed the fruits Mother Nature…in her infinite wisdom…provided for a girl who was not only smart enough to recognized it, but was able to fully appreciated what was graciously being presented to her. It was the most incredible sex she had ever known, no one was getting hurt, and besides, she really didn't give a royal rat's ass what anyone else thought, anyway. It was her life and she would live it to the fullest, and any goddamn way she chose to conduct her private life was her business. No one else's.
Chris, much to Kathy's amazement, readily accepted the offer. She had seen Kathy's secret boyfriend and considered him to be one prime hunk of sexual masculinity. He was tall and lathe, not bad looking and darkly sensual, so the prospect of "sampling" her friend's private goodies was positively irresistible.
Kathy, for some unfathomable reason, had seemed even less keen on the idea than she had been earlier, but she had promised her boyfriend she would look into maybe setting it up for him. She had also made the salacious offer to Kathy and backing out, with no reasonable explanation for doing so, would make her appear to be sorely unsophisticated. So, plans were made for the three of them to get together for pizza and beer Friday night. To sort of feel one another out about this wicked idea, before they found themselves naked and not at all sure they wanted to go through with it, which would be embarrassing to all concerned.
Friday night arrived…way too quickly for nervous Kathy and not near soon enough to suit anxious Chris. Kathy arrived with her mysterious boyfriend and introduced (party of the third part) Tom. Pouring them all frothy mugs of beer, Chris said she had seen Tom around campus and also at the track meets. Tom, at that time, had briefly held the NCAA record for the hundred yard high hurdles.
Much to Kathy's dismay, Chris and Tom hit it off right from the start. Tom was sharp and quick-witted and it wasn't long before he and Chris were exchanging good-natured potshots with each other. Nothing was openly discussed about what was in store for them when they left the bar, but it didn't take a soothsayer to catch on to the fact that both Tom and Chris would be all for the idea. Kathy, the closer it got to them actually leaving, and most assuredly ending up naked and sexually involved, was becoming increasingly like the proverbial long-tailed cat caught in a room full of senile old ladies in rocking chairs; agitated as hell.
Summoning up all the courage she could muster, shortly after midnight, Kathy said that, if they were really going to do this, "Then let's get out of here and get to it." Reiterated to me a year later, the thought had to have been inside Kathy's head that the sooner they "got to it" the quicker it would be over and done with.
Chris followed Kathy and Tom back to Kathy's small apartment and once they were upstairs with the shades safely drawn, a bottle of wine was brought out. "Wine to sooth the savage beast," Kathy had quipped, handing the bottle to Tom to uncork. And soothing Tom's savage beast was exactly what Chris had on her naughty mind.
