Katy made sure her car was locked up and left it in the parking lot. She'd be riding with Mo since she was several glasses of wine past being able to drive. The women were headed to a townhouse in the city where they planned to meet up with Mo's two younger lovers, Tai and Andy. Katy was really just along for the ride because she didn't want to be alone.
Looking out the window at the street lights passing by, Katy stayed silent for most of the car ride. She felt better since she'd unburdened herself to Mo, one of her oldest friends. Katy revealed far more than she'd planned, but actually saying it all out loud and explaining all the things she felt made them much clearer for Katy. She was not entirely happy with all the conclusions she'd come to, but at least she understood everything now.
Andy answered the door and showed the women into the townhouse. He greeted Mo with an embrace and an intimate kiss and also gave Katy a hug, which she accepted awkwardly. Tai was sitting in the narrow living room playing a game on the Xbox and said hello to the women without looking away from his game.
Because of the circumstances of their first meeting, Katy couldn't help but feel weird around the two guys. It was on Fat Tuesday and Katy and several of her friends were having a girls' night out hitting the bars downtown. Everywhere they went was packed and eventually the thirtysomething women met up with a group of younger guys. To get away from the crowds the women agreed to go back to the guys' house for a couple more drinks before hitting the road. Although all the women were married, except for Mo, who is separated, they didn't think there was anything wrong with some harmless flirting. And after all, it felt good to be hit on by the younger, good looking guys. Katy in particular reacted well to the guys' flirting. After losing a bet, the women ended up flashing the guys and things deteriorated from there. All the women cheated to some degree. Katy ended up in a bedroom with a guy named Mike, getting one of the best fuckings she'd had in years. Mo took on two of the guys, Tai and Andy, and had been meeting them for threesomes ever since. While it had done wonders for Mo's self-esteem, that night proved disastrous for Katy, unleashing desires she'd buried long ago. Katy hadn't seen Mike since that night and had only run into Tai and Andy once, when they were picking Mo up for a night out.
Andy offered to fetch drinks and while Mo asked for a beer, Katy declined, figuring she'd had enough for the night. She was surprised when Mo took a seat beside Tai on the couch and picked up one of the game controllers. She didn't know Mo played videogames. It must have been a habit she picked up from the guys. Katy wondered if Mo used it to impress her eldest son, who was nine, yet. Katy took a seat in the recliner and watched the videogame while Andy returned with beers for Mo, Tai and himself.
"So how have you been?" Andy asked Katy. Mike still brings you up every once in a while."
"That's, um, nice," Katy said, unsure how to respond. It was odd to make small talk about a one-night stand.
"He'll be disappointed he missed you."
"Is he out for the evening?"
"Yeah, he met up with some other friends."
Katy was both relieved and a bit disappointed. There was no reason for her to want to see Mike again, except that she wondered if he would flirt again. She was sure he would and she wondered if she would end up in his bed again. It would be a good test of her resolve, Katy thought, but she was glad she wouldn't be tested. "You'll have to tell him I said hi."
"I surely will." Andy said with a sly smile.
Katy caught Andy checking her out, but pretended not to notice. Andy was twelve years her junior and while he wasn't her type, the attention was flattering. Katy preferred more of the cocky jock type and Andy was tall and lanky, with a mop of black hair. Tai, on the other hand, was right up her alley. He was a couple years older than Andy with a shaved head and ebony skin. Tai obviously liked to show off that he worked out as his short-sleeved rugby shirt seemed to be a size too small and stretched across his broad chest. Katy had never been with a black guy and she couldn't resist imagining what it would be like to be with Tai. She had some basis for speculation as she'd peeked in on him and Andy fucking Mo those many months ago. She tried to force any sexual thoughts from her mind as she knew they would only lead to trouble.
Tai wrapped up the game and asked, "So ladies, what would you like to do this evening?"
"I don't know. Do you have any ideas?" Mo replied. She moved closer to Tai on the couch and he put an arm around her.
"If you guys had plans I don't want to get in the way," Katy said, but quickly shut up. She knew very well what their plans had been before she tagged along and it wasn't very well something they could do with her there.
