Two years later...

Gus
"Oh... don't stop, Gus... don't stop..." Janice moaned into her pillow. She didn't have to tell me twice. I picked up the pace, pistoning with all the strength I could muster, and slapped her ass for good measure. I knew she didn't like things gentle. It felt good to see
her
feeling good. I put everything else out of my mind, focusing on the heavenly sensation of her pussy squeezing my dick. Well, more accurately, focusing on staving off my own orgasm for as long as possible, which was becoming a truly Herculean task. I -

We both stopped to stare at the bedside phone. Janice reached over and grabbed it, looking at the screen with a complicated expression. "It's your brother."
I figured. "S-should you answer it?"
She placed the phone back down, silencing the ringer, and wiggled her hips a little. "No... keep going... I'm so close..."
Not wanting to argue, I started moving again, but the call had broken my concentration. Pangs of guilt started to dull the pleasure. How could they not? My brother was getting married to Janice next week, yet he still didn't have a clue about this relationship she and I shared.
Jance had started cheating on my brother - with me - during our shared stint aboard the
Athens
. I-I couldn't explain what had led to it. The details were weirdly fuzzy, but it's not as if I could ask Janice to
remind
me how we'd started having sex. If nothing else, I knew we'd been fucking frequently during the deployment, practically daily.
I don't know what got into me. Overwhelmed by regret, I attempted to break things off as soon as we were off active duty - but I hadn't been forceful enough. Looking back, I don't think she even realized I'd
tried
to break up with her. She steamrolled me into sex that night, just like always.
And all this time, I've been too scared to tell my brother anything. I don't know
what's
going through Janice's head. We barely talk about it. She had to know this was wrong - she hadn't spilled the beans to my brother either - but at the same time, she acted like it was a matter of course for us to have sex regularly. I was weak, too weak to say "no" to the girl of my dreams, even if she
was
my brother's fiancΓ©e.
"
Oh..."
Janice's pussy tightened dramatically. She was cumming. Even amidst my anxieties, I couldn't resist the sudden influx of pleasure. I came too.
Am I just a way to blow off steam? Will this continue even after she's married? I had to ask Janice one day soon, I know, but I wasn't sure if I dreaded that she'd say "yes" - or that she'd say "no".

Freya
"Freya... you wanted to talk?" Allison sat across from me in the cafe, holding a mug of coffee. I nodded, holding back tears, steeling myself for what I had to say. This would be tougher than anything I'd ever done.
"Before you start, is it okay if I say something first?" Allison continued. "Sure, of course," I replied, still getting my thoughts in order.
Allison clasped her hands, looking nervous and a bit somber. "I... god, this is so hard to say, because I really do love you." Is she... doing what I think she's doing? My mind stopped, but Allison's didn't.
"I don't think we're a right fit anymore, Freya." Silence followed for a solid ten seconds. I didn't know what to think. "Are you okay?" She eventually asked.
I was shocked but, frustratingly, also a little relieved. "I am." I squeaked out. "Actually... I called you out here today for the same reason."
Allison's eyes widened. "You were going to break up with
me
? I was so worried about hurting
you
."
"Yeah..." The silence returned. It was kind of a funny situation, but neither of us had it in us to laugh. We'd been dating for a long time, and the loss was hard to take. Once, I even thought we might've gotten married.
"Can I ask why? Just... for peace of mind," I managed to say.
"Sure. It's, um, kind of embarrassing, considering all we've been through, but... uh, I've realized I like men."
"Huh?" Of all the things I expected Allison might say, that hadn't remotely been one of them.
For some time, things had been strained between the two of us. We'd gone from wild in bed to muted, even restrained. I'd thought the fault had been my own, that my heart wasn't in it anymore, but now... "Heh. Hah hah hah!" I burst out laughing, suddenly finding the humor in the situation after all.
However, for her part, Allison looked understandably uncomfortable. I knew I had to explain. "I'm sorry, Allie. I'm not laughing at
you
. I'm laughing at
us
, because..." I coughed. "A-actually, me too."
Her jaw dropped. "You... too?"
"Me too," I repeated. "It turns out that I also like men."
Now Allison laughed as well, with a touch of sadness behind her smile. "Man, what are the odds? Both of us realizing we're straight at the same time like this."
"Yeah..." It was so unusual as to be downright bizarre. In the early days of our relationship, we'd had long talks about our sexuality - and long nights that underlined that sexuality. It was hard to look back on all that and convince myself that we had really been two confused straight women the whole time.
On the other hand, there was no debating how I felt now. The image of Allison's naked body did absolutely nothing for me, while the mere thought of a man's penis held an inescapable allure. If I didn't know any better, it was almost as if something had
induced
heterosexuality in us somehow. A ridiculous thought, of course, but it
would
make everything line up. If only life was really that simple.
"I'm sorry." "Me too."
There was nothing more to say. Allison stood to leave. I did the same.
"Still friends?" "Always."
From muscle memory, we moved in for a goodbye kiss, before catching ourselves and awkwardly transitioning into a hug.

Eric
"Mmngh..." I let out a massive load, splattering across the holographic image of the Scarlet Hunter sucking off a faceless man. Ever since we'd served together, however briefly, I couldn't get her out of my head.
She was way out of my league, obviously. I'm sure she hardly even remembers me; we'd barely interacted on the
Athens
, sharing nothing more than the occasional formalities. But that didn't change the fact that she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. I treasured those memories of greeting her on the running track, our curt exchanges of "Major Adams" and "Corporal Vonce".
Not a night went by these days that I didn't jack off to some video of her, often AI porn but sometimes a genuine, non-erotic news clip. It didn't matter that she was married. It's not like I was hurting anybody.
Sometimes, the porn made me feel weirdly nostalgic. I could almost imagine myself in the guy's position: the touch of her lips on my balls, the warmth of her tits in my hands, the grip of her pussy around my cock. Not to mention the lengthy, vivid sex dreams.
