"Once I relaxed I had so much fun! You'll never believe how liberating it is. Plus, Eric loves having the little mementos to look at when I'm not around."
Cam was telling us about her recent foray into erotic pictures. She'd gotten the idea from one of those "Spice up your relationship" articles in Cosmo. They'd suggested a few tasteful shots in sexy lingerie and such, but Cam's version sounded more like a Playboy centerfold shoot.
"I can give you guys the number to my photographer if you want. His work is AMAZING!!!"
I glanced toward Callie and shot her a look that said "yeah...I bet his photography wasn't all Cam was impressed with."
Cam is our group slut. If our lives were an episode of Sex in the City (which they definitely weren't or I'd have had a way better apartment), she was our Samantha. Her husband Eric knew about her indiscretions and almost seemed to enjoy them. I could only imagine what mementos Eric loved more...the pictures of Cam or the idea of her screwing the photographer. Callie stifled a laugh.
"I don't know Cam," said Lisa living up to her role as the group's Charlotte, "I don't think I'd want my husband thinking of me in such a dirty fashion!"
"The pictures are only as dirty as you want them to be, Lisa." Cam admonished, taking another sip of wine. "I didn't intend for it to go as far as it did, but I'm so glad I did! I haven't cum like that in AGES."
We all laugh at that one as the waiter nearly dropped the bill he was coming to deliver.
"Ignore her," I said to the waiter as I hand him my credit card, "she has sexual tourettes."
We laugh again and the conversation moves on to the newest shoes that were in the Saks window and why we can never afford to live the lives we want. When lunch is over Lisa and Cam decide to partake in a little retail therapy. Callie and I decline, and jump in my car to head home. We drive in relative silence, having always had a comfortable friendship. Her house is on the outskirts of town, a drive I always loved making before but especially loved now that her and I have gotten so close.
As I pull onto her street she breaks the silence suddenly.
"Maybe it's not such a bad idea..." she trails off.
"What's that sweets?" I say.
"The picture thing..." she hesitates again, "maybe if it were someone you were really comfortable with, you know, if you knew they wouldn't force you into anything you weren't sure about...I don't know...maybe it'd be a good idea."
I pull into her driveway and kind of stare at her. The idea of her in nothing but a negligee is tantalizing. I want to respond, but don't know how to say it in a way that won't sound like I want to rip her clothes off.
"Derrik and I..." she give another false start, there's a long silence before she starts again. "We haven't been intimate in a while, with the kids and work, life just seems to get in the way. Maybe if I did something like that he'd think of me as sexy again..."
She looks like she might cry, or run and hide, or break out laughing and tell me it's a joke. I have to say something...
"I know what you mean," I blurt out, "Freddie hasn't touched me in weeks and we used to hump like rabbits. I think now he's afraid of one of the kids walking in or of them hearing...even when they're in bed. The last time was a quickie in the dark at three in the morning...it left me feeling...I don't know. Just wanting more I guess."
Her eyes lock on to mine, studying me for a moment.
"We could do it for each other." she says softly, almost a whisper. A blush spreads across her face.
My heart races and I lick my lips. Is she suggesting what I think she is? I see her again in my mind stripped down to just a few lacy things that leave little to the imagination. I break eye contact for just a second and glance at her beautiful breasts down the slightly open part in her shirt. It's all I can do to not reach out and caress one, but if she's inviting me to do so....
"You know...take the pictures." she finishes. "You have all that old gear from when you wanted to be a photographer...so we could use that and never have to worry about anyone seeing them if they're awful."
My stomach sinks. Of course! The pictures. Callie has never shown the slightest interest in women. What made me think she was suddenly suggesting we dive into bed together.
I look away toward the front of her house, her oldest is peeking out the window. She's always watching us. I think she just can't wait to be like us when she grows up. Silly girl...doesn't she know it just keeps getting more confusing?
"Yeah, sure." I say non-noncommittally. I don't want to seem too eager. "It's a great idea. I know I'd be totally comfortable with you."
"I feel the same way," she says, shifting her weight to get out of the car. "Let's look at our schedules and set something up, kay?"
I nod and wave out my open window as she walks up her front walk. I can't help but watch her hips sway in those perfect dark blue hip hugging jeans. You'd never know Callie was a mom, not if you were just watching her from afar. I mean sure, she was no size 0 runway model, but I liked that. She had curves in all the right places, the kids hadn't "ruined" her body in the sense that she had gotten grossly fat. Her breasts were still perky, even though they'd swelled a bit after her son was born. She complained a lot that she hated going from a C to a D...but I loved them. My pussy spasmed slightly as I imagined cupping those breasts in my hands, teasing the nipples..or running my hands over the curves of her hips as I leaned in close to smell her...
A honking noise shook me from my thoughts. Derrik was home and I was blocking his spot in the drive way. I flipped my car into reverse and waved apologetically as I pulled out of his way. He grinned at me as he started to pull in, rolling down his window.
"House envy Kirsten?" He was always telling us to move out of our apartment. "You know I just had a beautiful 4 bedroom go up on the market one block over. I could show it to you...we could be neighbors!"
"You know how we feel about yard work Derrik...so unless you plan to come and mow my lawn every Sunday..."
"Yeah yeah, with the money I'd make on the sale of this one, that might actually be worth it!"
