Once upon a time, there was a girl called Emily, and she was feeling horny. Bored and horny. Work was slow. She had just completed a rather emotionally draining story in her Angels & Demons series, and she didn't feel much like writing. Worst of all, her boyfriend was in Chicago on business for two days. Sure he might have some time for a video call, they could be fun, but that wouldn't be until later. Emily was horny now.
'Well,' she thought to herself, 'I'm working at home today, and I don't have any meetings scheduled. That offers possibilities.'
Route A was a tried and tested one, shutting her work laptop, Emily dug out her iPad, and got comfortable on the couch. This was her solo happy place, though also the site of frequent conjugal action. 'Pre-conjugal, to be strictly correct,' Emily thought, 'but it was pretty much the same thing.'
Her pattern was to browse, to find something of interest, and -- only when already excited -- to divest her clothes. It was also kinda fun to stroke herself through her jeans. Tingly, but not really intense, a bit like foreplay. Emily wriggled into a more comfortable position. That was better.
But nothing took her attention. She felt disengaged, even a few 'go to' vids didn't do it for her today. Frustrated, she got up, and rather petulantly tossed her iPad onto the couch. 'A nice shower, maybe,' she thought. 'Yes, the warm water, rubbing body wash into her skin. That would be good.'
Emily discarded layers of her clothes as she headed for the bathroom. Their new place had a large, walk-in shower bounded by floor to ceiling glass. When viewing the property, she and her boyfriend had both had the same thought, 'room for two.' Emily felt wistful at the memory.
And then she felt annoyed, speaking out loud to herself. "Sheesh, woman, you lived alone quite happily for two years, what's wrong with you?"
The 'quite happily' was at best an exaggeration, and closer to an outright lie. Then the absence of a man hadn't really been the cause of Emily's past misery. She pushed such unhelpful thoughts out of her head, recalling what her therapist always told her. "You can't change the past, but you can change how you react to it."
'Right,' thought Emily, 'that shower.'
The shower got hot quickly and Emily peeled off her yoga bra and panties, she had no real need for any greater support. The warm water did feel nice, and she luxuriated in its flow, eyes closed, hands wandering over her skin.
Emily felt relaxed, but despite her best manual efforts, something wasn't quite right. "Ugh! Toys, I need toys."
With that she toweled herself dry, and went in search of electrical amusement.
Emily laid out her toys on the bed. When she was finished, you could still just about see the covers, but it was a close-run thing. A few were old friends, but her boyfriend had also indulged her hobby, and their collection had expanded.
Emily was a little sad. She missed her old butt-plug, her monster. It had gone missing during the move. Sometimes Emily wondered whether it was now keeping one of the removals guys happy. She'd bought a replacement, but -- ever having eyes wider than her asshole -- it was too big. Yes, even Emily had limits and this new toy was beyond them. Well beyond them.
She picked up the new plug, it resembled something that really should be slung under a stealth bomber. Emily addressed it Yorick-like. "Maybe one day, I'll get to know you well, but not today." Her ring quivered at the thought.
No, not even the promise of frantic buzzing against her receptive flesh was getting Emily in the mood. And she knew why. She'd known for some time, it's just today -- with her boyfriend gone -- it was hard not to think about it.
The problem was Emily's boyfriend. He was just too nice a guy. And he knew her too well. A terrible combination. He also was privy to her extremely checkered sexual history, and her equally expansive sexual desires.
Emily had been -- how to put it? -- off of boys for some time, at least romantically. There were reasons of course. Again her therapist's words came to mind. Anyway, her boyfriend had been the first guy she had been interested in for literally years. He knew about her past predilections, and he wanted Emily to be sure.
He also was aware of one of the few things that Emily had not managed to fit into her relatively short life. Thinking about it now, the arousal that had been eluding Emily came surging back. Imagining the touch of not just another woman, but two. The images raced through her mind and she slipped a hand inside her bathrobe. That felt a lot better...
The robe hit the floor and Emily hit the couch, her legs spread, fingers in her warm wetness, others teasing the small, but throbbing, tower of flesh further up. With her eyes closed, she envisioned two women caressing her. Kissing her. Licking her. Their fingers playing with her, and then plunging inwards. Their tongues in her mouth, and all her other openings.
The fantasy was so exciting to Emily, that she didn't last long. A little ruefully she regarded the new damp patch on the couch, thinking to herself. 'Why didn't I put my robe over the cushions? Oh well, it's not like it was the first time.'
Emily had enjoyed her fun, but... she was still horny. And she knew what she was horny for. It was for what her boyfriend had told her was OK. What he had even encouraged her to do. He didn't want her to be plagued by regrets, by what ifs? Speaking aloud, Emily asked the empty house, "why does he have to be so fucking nice and considerate?"
Emily tried to do some work. She put on the TV, even her latest k drama wasn't so engaging. What filled her mind were images of her in a lesbian threesome. But not a fantasy, in real life. And she knew just how to make it happen. She'd saved the details to her phone.
Emily pulled them up, and was about to call, when a pang of guilt hit her. Yes of course he had said it was healthy to tick off this aspiration. That it was sensible to check that she was truly OK to -- what was the phrase? -- forsake all others. But, she also loved her boyfriend dearly, and didn't want to hurt him.
Looking at her phone, Emily thought that it was too early to call. She typed out a message, considered deleting it, and then pressed send.
A few minutes later, she got her reply:
I love you. I trust you. I want you to be sure. It's OK. This won't break us. But not doing it, and you regretting that, just might. It's really OK, call them.
As Emily was absorbing his words, her phone bleeped again.
You could always put my camera on a tripod and select video mode...
'Men!' thought Emily to herself.

It had been a slow day, which was probably all to the good as the two principals had been otherwise occupied. I'd had to ask one regular to try again tomorrow, he acceded with a disappointed air. Other than that, it was a good day to catch up on reading.
Then the phone rang. "Hello, Emma's Escorts, whatever you desire, Elena speaking."
"You'd like them both...? Sure, that's possible. And when...? Oh... that could be a problem. Let me consult with their diary..."
