"Ravi's been attracted to you for a long time," I say.
"He's your
boyfriend
," Sarah says. "I don't want things to get weird,"
We're sitting in a coffeehouse in Venice Beach, near the bike shop where she works. Ravi and I have known her since college... long before Ravi and I were a couple. We were never close friends, but we were always part of the same crowd. We went to the same parties, saw the same bands. You know how it is.
Over the last few years, though, we've drifted apart. Ravi and I are working real jobs, renting a decent apartment. We even bought a couch together. Sarah though, she's deeper into the scene than ever. There's a tat I haven't seen before on her forearm, a fresh piercing through her left eyebrow. I suspect she thinks my new conservative look is ridiculous. I can't say I disagree with her.
"Things won't get weird," I say. "We have a deal. It's strictly a one-time thing... a birthday present."
"You want to give Ravi a threesome for his birthday?"
"It won't be a threesome," I say. "I'm not into... I mean... it's okay if you are... it's just that I don't...."
"I get it," Sarah says, laughing. "You don't eat pussy. It's cool. Neither do I. So, if it's not a threesome, what is it?"
I shrug. "Just a casual hookup."
"Just casual hookup... with a guy I barely know... while his girlfriend watches."
"So it won't be cheating! If you two were alone, it would be like he was cheating on me. But if I'm there...."
"... that makes it okay?" Sarah's expression is dubious. "Um... whatever you say, girl...."
"Ravi and I worked it out! We have a deal! It's strictly a one-time thing...."
I know how ridiculous I must sound. I can feel my cheeks burning.
"Look, forget I ever mentioned it. It was a stupid thing to ask. I'm sorry I brought it up."
"Hey, hey... don't be like that! I'm not saying no. I always did think Ravi was kind of cute. I just want to know what I'm be getting into. I don't want any drama."
I hold up my hand. "No drama. I swear."
Sarah takes a sip of her latte. "Does he have a nice cock?"
I nod. "Oh yes."
"Long?"
"Long-ish. But thick. You know what I mean? When he's inside you, you really feel it. You're flat on your back, with your feet up in the air. He climbs on top of you, sticks in it, and then he starts thrusting. All that hard thickness is riding in and out of your... uh...."
Suddenly embarrassed, I let my voice trail off. Sarah shakes her head and laughs.
"Damn girl, listen to you! When did you become such a freak?"
"So... um, anyway... are you in?"
"With an endorsement like that, how can I say no?" Sarah laughs

That night when Ravi gets home from work, I'm chopping carrots in the kitchen. He drops his bag by the door, and kisses the back of my neck.
"Hey babe," he says. "You have a good day?"
"Not bad," I say. "How about you?"
"It's getting better already," he says, nuzzling up against me. His hands are on my hips, pulling me back towards him.
"Hey... watch it!" I say, twisting away. "Woman with a knife here!"
He laughs and lets go, opens the fridge to get a beer. "You know I can't resist you when you're being domestic."
I glance down and wiggle my toes. "I am barefoot, and I am in the kitchen."
"My dream girl."
I nod my head. "Damn straight. Best thing that ever happened to you."
He takes a sip of his beer and glances at the knife. I love the look he's got in his eyes.
"Okay. You're safe for now," he says, grinning. "But after dinner, babe, it's on...."
"Ha! What makes you so sure I'll want you?"
"Because you always want me," he says matter-of-factly.
I have to admit, he's right.

I wait until we're having sex to tell him.
I'm naked, flat on my back on the living room floor with my feet up in the air just like I described to Sarah. Ravi is on top of me, fucking me hard. He's got my wrists pinned over my head and I'm wide open, taking him deep. I'm going to have rug burns on my shoulder blades.
"She said yes," I mutter breathlessly.
There's a stutter in his rhythm. His face is a mixture of lust and bafflement.
"Who said yes?" he pants.
"Sarah," I say. His thrusts push the words out of me. "I... had... lunch... with... her... today... and... oh fuck!"
Ravi freezes mid-stroke. He's deep inside me, and I can feel his cock throbbing. We stare at each other, breathing hard.
"Wait, what?" he says. "You saw Sarah? You actually asked her?"
I bite my lip. I want him to move so bad. But he's holding completely still.
"Uh-huh," I say, nodding. "She's good with it. With... all of it. Please don't stop."
"Oh shit, sorry."
He starts up again, slower now, gentler and more deliberate. I can feel every inch of him as he slides into me. Oh, fuck that's good. I wriggle with delight, wrap my legs around him, crossing my ankles behind his sweet ass.
"Oh, fuck yeah... just like that," I moan. "Fuck me, baby."
"How did she look?" he asks.
"Is she still hot, you mean?" I tease.
"Yeah, I guess," he admits sheepishly
I nod. "Yeah, she's still hot."
"You're amazing," he says. "I don't deserve you."
I kiss him hard on the mouth. I love him so much right now. The way we're moving together is sublime. We're so perfectly in synch, I can't tell where my body ends and where his begins. I can feel his muscles start to go rigid, so I know he must be close. I'm close too.
