Dex was more presentable than Trinx had ever seen before. It was also the first time she had seen him before finishing a sex session. Trinx realized that those two facts may be connected. His blond hair, green eyes and strong features were definitely more noticeable when he didn't appear to have come out of a clothes dryer. His outfit was decidedly blue-collar dress-up; tan pants with a button-down shirt,
sans
tie.
The two women were as polished as ever. Lorra was especially taken with Trinx's short, red dress and lightly curled hair, while she had slipped into a black cocktail dress which accentuated her ample curves effectively. They stood at even height with him, lifted by high heels which matched their respective gowns.
Lorra had told Trinx that he was twenty-five years old. He had not looked it as much previously, but his freshly-shaven face and boyishly eager eyes made it more obvious.
"Oh, nice..." Dex grinned as he ogled the two, seeming to have trouble deciding which view he preferred.
The ladies took a step back from the doorway, silently inviting him in. He fumbled for the doorknob, sacrificing dexterity for the sake of keeping his eyes on the ladies. Finally, he closed the door behind him.
"First, we wondered if you might like a light supper?" Lorra smiled.
"Before your dessert." Trinx's grin was more devilish, a product of practice.
"Sure." Dex shrugged, not surprising Lorra in the least.
"There's a little Italian place down the street that we like."
"With a great wine selection." Trinx added.
"Sounds great. I'm in your hands." Dex smirked and gave Lorra a quick and yet passionate kiss.
*****
The restaurant was busy, but fortunately not completely packed. They were quickly seated at a small table. The two ladies found place on opposite sides, putting Dex at the end.
Naturally, "light supper" was a relative term, taking the man's appetite into account. While Dex enjoyed salad, bread and a sizable portion of linguini, the two women nursed their smaller meals and the dinner conversation.
"I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I haven't asked a lot of questions about you." Trinx told Dex, after a hearty gulp of wine.
"Why not?"
"Oh, I suppose I didn't want to seem as if I was too curious. Or coming across as judgmental in some way. I've just been happy that she's happy."
"Isn't she sweet?" Lorra flashed a charming smile, while her words were already slightly blurred around the edges from the alcohol.
"I've always suspected so." Dex made his own attempt at a winsome grin, which was certainly adequate for both of the women.
"So, you work at the lab?" Trinx smoothly steered the topic back to him.
"Yeah, nothing like what this brilliant woman does." Dex locked eyes with Lorra for a moment. "I'm just clean-up."
"Oh, please!" Lorra burst out, a touch too boldly. "He's more maintenance than housekeeping. This man fixed our centrifugal microfluidic mixer in five minutes."
"I don't even know what that is." Dex seemed to take the words directly from Trinx's mind.
"The 'spinny thing', love."
Dex chuckled. "Now you're speaking my language. Yeah, I did fix the spinny thing. I'm still not the one figuring out how to stop all the viruses, like Lorra."
"He always talks about himself like that." Lorra leaned over towards Trinx, as if Dex couldn't hear her words.
"A little modesty is alright. I'm sure he knows his strengths!" Trinx grinned. "Considering that I've given up trying to keep any pictures on my wall. They all get knocked off every time he visits!"
Lorra choked on a mouthful of wine, laughing as she tried to recover from a minor coughing fit. Dex smirked as he slapped and rubbed her back to get her through it. A middle-aged man looked over from another table, alarmed at the noise. Trinx smiled and waved at him in a politely dismissive manner.
"It's alright. It's not the last time she'll gag tonight." Trinx snickered.
Lorra gasped and smacked at Trinx's shoulder playfully. She cleared her throat, signaling that she was now better.
"I told you she had a mouth on her, didn't I?" Lorra giggled at Dex.
"You did. Are you alright?"
"Yes, love. Thank you." She leaned over and kissed Dex. Trinx watched, her attention split by a group of men at another table that had noticed her.
"Don't look now..." Trinx spoke softly to Dex as the kiss ended, "but I think some guys here are wishing they were you right now."
"Really?"
"Of course. Out with a gorgeous woman, and with me as well." Trinx smiled.
"Kiss her." Lorra said suddenly.
"Now?" Dex's surprise was palpable.
"Yes. Make those other guys even more jealous."
"If you insist."
Dex leaned over towards Trinx, who mirrored the movement. They kissed, delicately at first, then more forcefully for a moment before breaking it off. Trinx could feel the desire in his lips. She could also see a glint of it in his eyes as he opened them while pulling away.
Lorra giggled as she finished her drink. "It's your night, lover."
*****
The three of them stood in the opening of the living room, a woman on each side of him. It was a small space, but it was presentable and cleared to create an open, carpeted area.
"The seat of honor is yours, birthday boy." Trinx smirked as she motioned to a plush chair at the far side of the room.
Dex took his seat, already squirming slightly with anticipation. The two woman closed the gap between them.
