Philip Johnson
Chapter One
Every year Lauren does something special for Paul for his birthday and her friend Casey has helped her with the plans for a couple of years but they have run out of ideas. Casey asked Lauren, "Do you have any ideas at all?"
"No. Oh there are things like tools or guy stuff like that but nothing special at all this year."
"What about something sexy?"
"Like what?"
Casey laughed and said, "I don't know, he's your husband. What does he like?"
It was Lauren's turn to laugh and then said, "Wouldn't he be embarrassed if he knew we were having this conversation. Okay let me think."
"That's a bad sign if you have to think hard about that one."
"Well he's a guy so he likes the usual things."
"I mean things that he...that you two either aren't exploring very often or even better never have."
"God I don't know. You're talking about sex right?"
"Yes. You know positions or...I don't know."
"This is something I've never ever discussed with anybody else so it's a little awkward."
"I mean like with Drew. He loves taking me from behind...well he used to anyway."
"What does that mean? He doesn't like it now?"
"He doesn't seem to have a lot of interest in sex of any kind now."
"Oh now that's awful."
"So anyway about Paul."
Lauren about half blushed and admitted, "There isn't much we haven't tried and we haven't found much we both don't like."
"You two are so lucky. What about porn movies. Does he like them?"
"Sure he is a guy after all but it isn't a really big thing with him."
"Sexy nighties and romantic evenings?"
"I have a drawer full of sexy nighties from when he used to buy them for me."
"I'm out of ideas."
"Yeah me too."
"Well what did he seem to like to watch when you did watch movies?"
"Probably the same things Drew likes. Anal sex, which we do once in a while and...the last one we watched had two women kissing and that seemed to get to him very quickly. Of course there were threesomes and we talked about that a little bit but I don't know that I could be with another guy and him."
"Oh I thought you meant you and another woman."
"Well yes that too probably but that wasn't in the movie."
"So that's one possibility then."
"Casey are you suggesting that we...you and I..."
"I don't know I'm just thinking out loud. I mean kissing or something like that."
"I'm not at all sure I could do that."
"Am I that ugly?"
Lauren laughed and said, "No it isn't that at all. I'm just afraid I'd start laughing in the middle of everything and spoil the whole effect."
Casey smiled and said, "Yeah that could be a problem for both of us. I mean neither of us is...well never has...we're not like that." But then she smiled and added, "But can you imagine how Paul would react if both of us were dressed very sexy and started kissing in front of him?"
"Yes, he'd probably want to make love to you for his birthday."
"Oh he would not, I'm too overweight."
"You can't tell me you've never caught him ogling you."
Casey smiled and said, "Yes I have caught him a few times but I thought I was overreacting because of Drew's lack of interest for the last several months."
"It's because he likes you and thinks you are very sexy."
"Guys just like my big breasts."
"You can include Paul in that too but he likes you for a lot more than just your twins."
"So I guess you're saying we need to keep working on your problem."
"Well I won't rule that out because I'm getting desperate."
Casey smiled and said, "Well thanks a lot."
"No, that's not what I meant."
"I know I'm just teasing you."
"It sounds to me like we need to be working on your problem. We need to find a way to get Drew fired up again."
"Good luck with that one. I've tried sexy lingerie and special dinners and I even went nude in the backyard for him."
"And none of that got him going?"
"Yes finally, at least for awhile."
"What's going on with him?"
"I might as well tell you. He's suddenly decided he likes skinny women. Not just thinner than I am but I'm talking bumpy bones showing kind of skinny."
"It isn't like you're fat by any means."
"Thanks but he thinks I am."
"Then he has a problem."
"Which means I have a problem unfortunately."
"Okay it's your turn. What does Drew like other than skinny women?"
"Like Paul, the usual stuff."
"Like what?"
"Well one thing we haven't talked about is bondage. I mean just light bondage, no big whips or chains or whatever."
"Okay so that'd doable."
"How is that doable?"
"We could take pictures of you tied up or whatever."
"What is whatever?"
"That's up to you and what you're comfortable with or what you think would get Drew's attention."
"Isn't this getting interesting. We'll make out for Paul and I'll be tied up for Drew."
"Well at least I wouldn't crack up laughing playing with bondage."
"Do you think that would really work on Drew?"
