Tina and I had been having an affair for four years. We'd been good. Never been caught by our spouses. Saw each other regularly. Kept in touch. No pressure. Always used different hotels. Careful not to change behaviour patterns at home. Had amazing sex whenever we were able to hook up. Even kept it all going through lockdown with stories and fantasies... and breaking the rules. Part of our secret was never telling anyone. Not a soul knew about us, except us.
But then one day, Tina told me that she'd told someone about us. A friend, who she'd been to stay with, in Italy, named Beth. Why, I asked? Because Beth lives in Italy, she told me, and she doesn't know anything about you except that you're a good fuck, so don't worry.
That was six months ago. Since then, Tina's moved into her own place and is hnow aving the time of her life. And all those friends she used to go and stay with are now coming to stay with her. Including, it turned out, Beth.
One morning, I checked my phone for messages and Tina had sent one late the previous evening. 'Beth arrived. Broke up with boyfriend. Told her she needed to find a good fuck.'
Later that day she sent me another message, saying that she and Beth were having lunch at a pub on the river, and I could join them if I wanted.
I'd only ever seen one picture of Beth, but I remembered her being attractive. Now, coming into the pub, I saw in front of me two stunning brunettes. Tina, of course, and her friend.
We got introduced and chatted, and then after about half an hour Tina had to take a work call and slipped outside.
"So," Beth said to me, "four years. That's a long time to be with someone."
"It's not, exactly. Sometimes we can't see each other for weeks."
"Still, there must be something she likes about you."
"And there's a lot I like about her."
"Me to," Beth said. "But you know her a lot better than I do. And I'd like to know her better. A lot, lot better."
'A lot, lot better? You mean like a lot, lot..."
'Mm hmm.'
The crazy thing was, if I'd been single, I'd probably try to pick Beth up. Instead, I had to shut her down. "Beth, I do know Tina very well, especially that way, and she's just not into girls. Believe me, we've had the convo."
"I know," she said, pouting. "Whenever I break up with a man I want pussy. But I don't feel like a I'm a lesbian, so I have to find a straight girl like me. Fool around a little. And then I can go back to wanting dick. That's why I wanted to see you."
"Me?"
"You can get her into bed with me."
'No I can't, she's one of the most strong-willed people I've ever met. Tina does whatever the fuck Tina wants."
