Even so, that intense argument made Rowena think, and a week later she brought up the subject again--in a somewhat different way.
"Blake," she said, cuddling with him one night, "I think you need some more experience."
"Experience?" he said, stroking her round, firm bottom. "Experience with what?"
"With girls," she said pointedly.
"What on earth do you mean?"
"Look," she said, raising herself up and staring into his face. "You say you love me, and I'm sure you do. But I'm
not
sure whether you love me just because I took your virginity or because of who and what I am. You haven't had any other girls, and I think it would help if you got to know some, so you can figure out what your feelings for me really are."
Blake chortled in disbelief. "You're telling me you want me to--to sleep with other girls?"
"That's exactly what I want you to do," she said bluntly.
"That's crazy!"
"Why? Girls come in all shapes and sizes--and I'm not referring just to their bodies."
"But Rowena, just going to bed with a girl isn't the same as getting to know her."
"I know that. But you're one of those rare guys who can learn a lot about a girl by bedding down with her. You're interested in a lot more than just poking a girl in her various orifices. And so, if you do that, you and I will be able to tell whether your love for me is genuine or not."
"It
is
genuine!"
"Well, I need to be sure about that--and so do you."
"But--but who am I going to sleep with? I can't just go up to some random girl and say, 'Hey, babe, you wanna--'"
"Of course not. But I've been thinking about this. You see, I know some girls in the Phi Epsilon Lambda sorority house, and I'm sure they'd love to find out what sort of a person
you
are--physically and in other ways as well." She chuckled naughtily.
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, I do. Lemme set something up, okay?"
Rowena knew (or thought she knew) what she was doing. She was convinced that Blake, after sampling several of the girls in the sorority house, would come flying back to her with a renewed sense of her own superiority over any other female he bedded down with, and their relationship would therefore be strengthened. Maybe it was immodest of her, but she had supreme self-confidence in herself.
The first girl she chose was named Sarah. Rowena had told Sarah all sorts of things about Blake, especially about the size of his member. ("Are you kidding me?" Sarah had exclaimed when Rowena had held her hands about ten inches apart.) So arrangements were made for him to spend a Friday night with her.
Of course, the sorority house didn't allow males to even be in the building after 11 p.m., but that was a rule widely and happily flouted, and no girl was going to tell on one of her "sisters" who violated the policy. After all, she might be next in cuddling up with a cute and attractive boy! So Blake, still not certain this whole idea was feasible or sane, trudged over to the sorority house around ten o'clock, to give himself plenty of time to talk with Sarah before they got down to the business of fucking.
The next morning Blake came disconsolately back to the apartment he shared with Rowena.
She'd just finished breakfast, and she greeted her man brightly as he stepped through the door. "So how was it?"
His brooding expression told the whole story.
"Didn't quite hit it off?" she said, outwardly sympathetic but secretly pleased.
Blake just shook his head as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"What's the matter with her?" she asked.
"Nothing," Blake said. "She's fine. Just not very--interesting."
"I think she's a bright girl."
"I don't. She strikes me as a bit of an airhead."
"An airhead? That's not very nice!"
"It's true, though."
"Well, okay, if she isn't exactly an Einstein, what about--the rest of her?"
"Oh, that," Blake said dismissively. "She's all right."
"All right? I'll have you know that plenty of guys have tried to get into her pants."
"I'm sure they have. She's just the sort of girl that certain guys would like."
Rowena eyed him sharply. "I hope you don't say that about me."
"No, no! Of course not."
"But I do hope you at least, um, performed well with her."
"Yeah, sure. I came three times."
"Three times! That's pretty good. What about her?"
"She might have come about four or five times. I couldn't quite tell."
"Yeah, you can't with girls sometimes. What exactly did you do with her?"
"Oh, Rowena, I'd rather not say."
"Not say? You'd better say! I wanna know."
Blake heaved a sigh. "Well, first we did it just the normal way. Then I, um, went into her butt."
"You did? Did she like that?"
"I think I hurt her. She tried to show that she could take it, but I think she was in a lot of pain."
"Poor thing. It's not every girl who can take in that weapon of yours. What about the third time?"
"We did that thing called sixty-nine."
"Oh, you did? How'd that go?"
"Fine. I think she came a couple times before I came."
"And you came in her mouth? Did she swallow?"
"Most of it. Some of it dribbled out of her mouth and down her chin."
"Yeah, I'm not surprised. You really have a lot of stuff shooting out of you."
