It's been a while since I've been motivated to contribute a personal story here, as I typically only write about events and experiences that feel like they actually warrant a bit of erotic exploration here on the site. I'm smiling and excited to report that I have been moved to contribute a new story--about my incredible friend, Maggie, who I met here on the site.
If you have followed my life's saga of ups and downs over the past few years, you may recall that I am in a wonderful relationship with my partner of nearly three years, Alyssa. We're still very much in love, navigating the weird twists of fate we call life together with understanding and closeness. For personal reasons, and not without a bit of guilt, I've chosen not to share my life here on Lit with Alyssa, and so while I have been quite active connecting with a number of male friends in the chats, I've been hesitant to get too close to another woman. For a long time, it just didn't feel right, for hopefully obvious reasons. It felt too "real."
Maggie changed all that. And I hope when she reads this story, she'll feel every bit as special and valued as she is to me. Sure, it may always have the "sex chat site" asterisk next to it, but I can say with a lot of confidence, I feel a tremendous amount of real love for her in this relationship. And it IS a relationship to me. I hope she feels the same.
I confess I don't remember the exact first interaction we shared together. It may have taken a few chats for me to realize, "hey, she's different." But eventually, I did, and I am so much better for it. Maggie is about my age, and shares quite a few life story highlights and lowlights. We're both divorced, we both had bad experiences in long-term marriages that dissolved, and we each have one adult child, each of which makes us incredibly proud and humble. Despite a few common and regrettable lows, our shared experiences have brought us even closer over the years. We have a real connection. A rare bond.
Maggie has read all my stories here, which are all based on real experiences, so she started out with a lot of insights and understanding regarding my history and the things that have made me "me." Slowly, and with a great deal of mutual respect, she waded into several of them. I knew she took a bit of extra interest in another one of my Lit relationships with a man named Justin. It was Justin who actually gave me the courage to contribute stories here in the first place, after I shared my experience a few years ago of returning home early from a dinner to find my daughter Katie and her now-husband (then-boyfriend) together in our pool. Let's just say they weren't exactly playing Marco Polo, and I'll leave it at that. (If you'd like to read about it, it's still available in my stories list.)
I had indulged some of Justin's fantasies after we talked about that night, and it aroused him to suggest on two separate occasions that I wear something special for him as we chatted--first, one of Katie's quite-sheer tanks tops (which I was excited to share a photo of me in), and then much later, one of her thongs, which I wore to work at Justin's behest. On both occasions, I felt a rush of need that I had seldom felt before. I liked it.
And yes, I am quite aware why he found it so thrilling. The taboo element was very present as we chatted, and was impossible to ignore. I would have never guessed my own reaction to the exchanges, but I found myself very taken by this new feeling. Even more so to share it with a man I had become close to, whose reactions were frankly quite addictive for me. At first, I had convinced myself that watching Katie and her boyfriend Danny was thrilling, mostly because I couldn't take my eyes off his body, his impressive erection, and the enviable way he took care of my Katie. It had been a long time since anyone had taken care of me in such a loving way. I craved it. I was jealous. I ached.
Justin made me understand that perhaps there was a bit more going on with me beneath the surface. As we explored, I embraced it. At times, I could barely recall the night in question without touching myself. I still do.
