CHAPTER 5 - The "What If" Fantasy

"What do you think they're talking about in there?" I asked.
Shane didn't even hear me. He was sitting on the bed, staring off into space. Still naked from his recent shower with Tracy. I paced around the bedroom like an anxious kitten, unconsciously nibbling away at my manicure.
Five minutes earlier, we'd all been groaning like wild animals, licking and sucking and kissing and coming one after the other in a haze of pleasure. We'd gone right up to the edge; done everything, except the ONE thing. The one thing that there'd be no way for us to un-do.
The one thing that, deep down, we all knew we wanted.
Five hours from now-if all went to plan-Shane and I would finally be living out our longtime fantasies by having sex with our incredible best friends. But, in the meantime, I was just about ready to pull my hair out from all the anxiety. And I
really
like my hair.
After all the excitement in the bathroom-Connor ejaculating all over my naked ass and Shane making a mess on Tracy's boobs-we'd retired to our separate rooms to dry and dress for dinner.
Shane finally noticed my frantic pacing.
"Are you okay?" he asked. "With everything that's happening, I mean."
"Why wouldn't I be?" My voice sounded distant. "Are you?"
"Yeah," he answered, but there was hesitation in it.
I blushed. "I just... I just wish I knew what everyone was thinking, you know? I REALLY want this to happen, but I'm kind of-sort of-just a little bit totally scared shitless that somebody or everybody is gonna get their hearts broken tonight. I mean, fuck! Seeing you in the shower with my best friend..."
"Well, what about you?" Shane frowned, his voice rising. "Connor was rubbing his cock all over you and you were getting off on it!"
"So were you! You and Tracy were standing there watching us, touching and kissing and-and-"
Shane gritted his teeth. I felt an odd tension in my stomach as he looked at me with those way-too-intense eyes of his.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked.
"No! Sweetie, no, of course not. It's nothing like that. I'm not mad at anyone-what happened just now was like a million fantasies coming true all at once. I wanted it just as badly as you did."
I let out a sigh of relief.
Shane continued: "I'm just... seeing red right now, I don't know how else to say it. I'm fine with the
idea
of you fucking Connor-really I am-I just didn't ever think that I would get so turned on from WATCHING it."
He groaned in frustration, and I couldn't help but notice the way his penis was already starting to recover, just minutes after Tracy's soapy tit-fuck had blown his mind. This situation was nothing if not confusing.
"I know what you mean," I said quietly.
Shane shook his head, laughing at himself, "It's crazy-what kind of guy gets aroused by watching his wife with another man?"
"Honey, we ALL got aroused by what we were seeing. I can't even tell you how hot it was watching you come all over Tracy like that."
"I know! And the look on your face when Connor was..." he trailed off. "I guess just wasn't expecting it to be quite so intense. In all honesty it did get me kind of angry seeing Connor mauling you like that."
"Oh."
"But in like a good way. 'Good angry,' if that makes any sense."
Shane sighed in frustration. Instead of saying anything, I knelt down between his legs, gently wrapped my fingers around his thickening shaft, and planted a long, loving kiss on the crown.
"Are you sure you still want to go through with this?" I asked. "All the way?"
"Absolutely," he sighed. "Tonight it finally happens. No more role playing. No more wondering 'what if.' Tonight I want you to fuck my best friend, just like you've always dreamed."
Then he rolled back his head and luxuriated in the feeling of my tongue stroking his cock back to life.
After a few minutes, I reluctantly took my mouth off of him and whispered, "I better stop. Tracy would never forgive me if I stole one of the orgasms you've been saving up for her all day."
"You're such a considerate friend," Shane laughed.
"I want you and her to enjoy yourselves to the fullest," I whispered. "Go wild."
Suddenly, we heard Connor and Tracy's footsteps approaching from the hallway. We quickly hopped into some casual clothes and opened the door to greet them.
"Hi," Tracy waved, nervous. She was dressed in a fuzzy white Christmas sweater, her hair up in a playful ponytail. Beside her, Connor had on his old faded bomber jacket and blue jeans.
Seeing the two of them standing outside our bedroom, I was struck with a sudden case of déjà vu, but I couldn't quite figure out why...
Then Shane solved it for me:
"Those are the same clothes you guys wore on our very first double date, three years ago."
Tracy blushed, "Remember how we were talking about 'what if,' earlier? Well, when me and Connor were getting dressed just now, we realized that, totally randomly, we'd both brought the clothes from our first date with you guys-funny coincidence, huh?"
Connor locked eyes with me: "And we got to thinking, what if it was like a sign or something? A sign that maybe tonight we could all finally give that big 'what if' the chance it deserves?"
A brief but heavy silence filled the space between us, then Connor asked, "Ria, would you go out with me?"
I blinked, "What?"
"On a date," he explains. "Just the two of us. Just for tonight. Like we were supposed to do, three years ago."
I gulped, feeling a sudden weight on my chest as I answered, "Yes, of course."
Connor looked past me, to Shane, and asked, "That okay with you, man?"
Shane nodded, visibly holding his breath.
Tracy slipped past me into the room and sidled up next to my husband, whispering:
"If you're not doing anything tonight, maybe we could hang out?"
Shane smirked at her. "Would this 'hanging out' involve, like, a date?" he asked.
"If you want it to."
"Are your friends Ria and Connor joining us?" he asked playfully.
"Not tonight," she whispered.
The two of them were momentarily lost in each other's eyes, and I felt a brief swell of jealousy rise up when Shane took her hand in his.

Tracy looked absolutely adorable as we strolled through town together. Bright, happy, glowing with excitement-clinging to my arm like she needed it to stay upright.
Dinner had been a bust. The only place in town we could find that was still open on Christmas Eve was an extremely shady-looking Chinese restaurant that practically screamed "food-poisoning." We didn't want to risk it.
Instead, we hit up a gas station for some Funyons, a bag of beef jerky, and two cups of "hot cocoa" that honestly tasted more like chalk than chocolate.
But, while our Christmas Eve feast wasn't exactly what we'd been hoping for, Tracy and I still had a pretty awesome time just enjoying one another's company. We'd been close friends for all these years, yet we rarely spent time outside of work together, just the two of us.
