In retrospect, it feels like it was inevitable. A string of otherwise nondescript moments, scattered boozy, late-night conversations, and feelings all three of us felt on levels we didn't then understand and could never articulate. But when the moment finally arrived - when Jessica first brushed the shaft of my cock with her lips while David watched us, slack-jawed, from the chair - in an instant I knew with startling clarity that all of the years we'd known each other had been building up to this.
We met in college, and I actually knew David first. We weren't "friends" but rather suite-mates, thrown together by some unknowable algorithm in the depths of ResEd's computers.
Everyone knows someone like pale, professorial David - the over-educated intellectual, convinced of his own superiority. The music he listened to, the beer he drank, the books he read, the movies he watched - all were somehow more sophisticated than everyone else's. Mentioning a mass-produced beer, a popular movie, or any remotely popular pro sport was sure to provoke a look of disgust from him. He clearly felt his tastes were superior to those of other people. Honestly, the man annoyed me.
Jessica lived down the hall from the suite David and I shared, and she and I had a class together our first year. She was attractive, with a short, smart blonde haircut, an attractive body, a warm and winning smile, and the most sparkling and impish blue eyes you can imagine. Like all the other men in the dorm, I often found myself transfixed by Jessica's gorgeous, pear-shaped ass and hips. Her breasts were definitely on the small side, but she carried them pertly and proudly high on her chest. Jessica and I became friends, and had I not been still trying futilely to make a long-distance relationship work with my high school girlfriend, I would have dated Jessica. Sure, she could sometimes be a touch over-intellectual and earnest, but I thought I felt a little spark between us. I sensed she felt it, too.
However, before the last dying embers of my high-school relationship went out forever, David had swooped in and asked Jessica out. The next few years were a blur of Jessica and David seemingly mutually reinforcing each other's most annoying tendencies to self-righteousness and occasional arrogance. I suppose I could have cut them loose from my life, but our shared experiences as first-year college students and a host of mutual friends kept us close, in a casual friendship kind of way. I grew to accept their sometimes annoying quirks. And when I wished them well at their wedding, I swear I sincerely meant it. But there was no denying that despite their marriage, I often found myself wondering what could have been with Jessica.
Through the years since college, I exchanged chatty holiday cards and emails with them, and maybe twice a year we'd all get together for drinks. Every time I visited them, Jessica's actions reinforced my impression that she had secret thoughts about me. It was an occasional, teasing clue - the way she'd look at me and smile when someone told a joke, or the way she'd reach out and touch my arm as she'd brush by me in the kitchen, or the way her soft, warm fingers would linger on mine when I handed her my phone. Truth be told, there were many nights when I'd go home after spending time with Jessica and David, and stroke myself to sleep imagining Jessica's mouth around my dick, or my tongue on her pussy. The thought of her full, shapely feminine hips and ass haunted my dreams. Through the years, I had plenty of girlfriends, but it was married, unobtainable Jessica who never failed to fire my imagination. My unfulfilled fantasies of her were almost physically painful.
Partly fueling my lust, even beyond Jessica's fairly open flirting, was the openness with which Jessica and David discussed sex and sexual politics with me. Although I generally agreed with their views, I sometimes found them a bit... well, extreme. Frankly, I couldn't hide a sharply quizzical look one night at dinner, when David imperiously explained to me that he and Jessica had long ago agreed that most common sex acts were inherently misogynistic. David announced this with assurance, but I stole a brief glance at Jessica and could have sworn I saw her roll her eyes. I might have imagined it. But I definitely didn't imagine her leg brush against mine under the table and linger there for several moments.
David was STILL pontificating on the topic, oblivious. Jessica noticed my slightly dubious expression. She grinned at me a little, said in a sprightly voice, "Don't worry, David still gets a blowjob on his birthday," pecked him on the cheek, and giggled. David grew a little taller in his chair, perhaps from feeling an unusual burst of testosterone, but continued explaining why it was degrading to women for men ejaculate as the result of oral sex, citing some books he'd read that purported to be authoritative on the subject. Even David's pseudo-intellectual droning couldn't stop the erection I now had, thinking of Jessica performing her annual blowjob. I imagined watching her pretty blond hair bobbing in MY lap as she tongued and sucked on my penis. The image of it was driving me wild. Jessica must have sensed something, because for the remainder of the meal, she rarely took her eyes off of me. The rest of the night passed as we listened to David endlessly expound on his political views, his thoughts on popular culture, and a host of other topics. I was somewhere between bemused and annoyed, but even David's pedantic droning couldn't completely crowd out delicious fantasies of his wife from my thoughts.
David and Jessica invited me to stay at their house that night, and I accepted. I tossed and turned all night in their guest bedroom, unable to sleep due to the torrent of thoughts of Jessica running through my mind, fueled by the quick kiss on the cheek she gave me as she wished me good night.
The next day dawned sunny and warm, and was spent poolside at their house, sipping white wine. For the most part, I sat silently in a deck chair in my swimsuit and a loose t-shirt, slowly getting buzzed while David incessantly yammered on about one thing or the other.
Jessica flitted in and out, bringing us snacks and drinks. I felt thankful I'd worn sunglasses, because it hid from David how much I was staring at Jessica's luscious body whenever she passed by. Jessica wore an impossibly skintight black one-piece swimsuit that hugged the curves of her hips and ass. The suit held her pert tits up high, and made no pretense of hiding the her sweet little nipples. Whenever she was close to me, I could even just make out the distinctive swelling of her lycra-encased labia.
Fuck, she was a sexy woman. It was a travesty that she was with David.
David had started talking about some obscure new form of martial arts he had been practicing at a nearby gym. He explained that it was "the thinking man's martial art," and that it rendered him "essentially invincible" in a fight.
Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the years of listening to David's annoying lectures, or maybe it was my lingering lust for Jessica. Probably, it was all three combined.
But at that instant, it finally happened.
I took my shot.
"David - " I interjected, "that all sounds like complete bullshit. I bet I could kick your ass."
There was a brief, pause, and then David actually laughed haughtily, and said "Oh really? Well, you should know, I'm quite accomplished. I'm what's known as a 'Level 3 Eagle' at my dojo."
"I think you're a Level 3 asshole," I scoffed.
"Okay, this will be fun," he said, his face flushed with anger "Let's settle this once and for all."
He turned to Jessica, angrily hissing at her, "And let's make this interesting. The winner gets my birthday present a little early..."
At those words, I felt both shock and a surge of adrenaline. Had I heard correctly? Had David just actually offered up oral sex from Jessica as a prize?
With considerable anger in his eyes, David turned to face me. "You heard me! AndI know what you're thinking. You've lusted after her since college! Well, I've been mastering 'The Way Of The Eagle,' and I know I'm going to demolish you," he announced confidently. "I know what I'm doing, and I know she'll be with ME after I show YOU who's boss!"
I turned to Jessica, with a questioning look. She was blushing again. She laughed nervously, and shyly said, " You know, the idea of two guys fighting over me IS kind of hot..." She paused, thinking, and then finally said resolutely, "Okay... winner gets David's birthday present!"
"Excellent," David replied, his voice clipped. "I'm going to go get into my gi, and we'll see who gets put in his place." He stomped off into the house.
I stared over at Jessica, seated in a lounge chair, and noticed her subtly caressing her silky smooth white thighs. I thought I could detect a little swelling of her mound.
"Are you sure about this, Jess?" I asked, incredulously.
She gave me a wicked little smile, and shrugged her shoulders.
Soon, David stomped back out to the pool like a petulant child. He wore a loose white martial arts outfit.
I stood up and took off my shirt. I know I'm no Adonis, but I do take care of myself, and am in great shape for my age. To my great shock, Jessica rose from her seat, sidled up next to me, and reached up and softly bushed my chest with her fingers. "
"Ooh! Somebody's been hitting the gym!" she cooed, as she twirled some of my chest hair with her fingertips.
Even without looking at him, I could feel David's seething rage from 10 feet away. Seeing his wife touching me like a smitten teenager was having an impact on him. I could feel blood coursing through my veins and all of my muscles swelling with a powerful primal mixture of aggression, competitiveness and lust.
With a final, almost jaunty "good luck, boys!" Jessica sat down. David and I squared off.
David came at me in a furious rush. I got my arms extended between his, and put my hands against his chest. He felt thin and weak, and I shoved him backwards. He appeared taken aback at how easily I'd handled his attack.
