Dominic (actually his real name) or Dom (which he wasn't for all you subs out there!), was one of our circle of friends who was in so many ways my opposite. There were similarities (we were male, 21, white and privately educated) but not too many. He disliked sport, embraced the high arts, sang beautifully (it must be said) and could quote poetry and literature without breaking stride. He was medium is all respects of his appearance, with rosy cheeks, a little boy lost look and an effected 1930's dress style inspired by the recently hot craze back then for Brideshead Revisited. Dom was catholic, waspish in his humour, could be very sarcastic and thought that he was a great deal brighter than he was or how Kate thought he was.
She studied modern languages (French) and he did a number of courses with her, speaking French, German and Italian. Socially, he and I crossed paths but I never thought anything of him and him of me, no doubt. But he was on the face of it socially confident and very arty, with a habit of breaking into classical song, Schubert being his favourite. His very aesthetic nature I think appealed to Kate after a dating history of sporty boys with a fondness for farms, outdoors and physical activity, not least trying to access the content of her knickers for mutual delight!
I let Kate down once too often getting too pissed at a hall ball and she sacked me formally for being a dick: she was right but I was not then prepared to admit it.
Soon after, Dom and Kate were seen together at lots of parties and I got very little sympathy from anyone, let alone my own friends who called me a dick for losing such a nice girl, with the tightest ass and best rack in 2nd year.
What followed that year shaped my world view of sex and relationships and gave rise to kinks that have stayed with me, and with Kate, for years throughout our marriage.
I really liked Kate and she made me feel special, she was a great friend, proper critic, supportive ally and fun company. My fault was that I took it for granted in my cretinous male immaturity and her fault was a demanding nature with somewhat extreme expectations of behaviour, which needed to mellow.
To business, enough with the relationship therapy! Initially, I stopped seeing much of Kate as she was with Dom and I spent a couple of weeks moping around all sad and self pitying. And jealous. Deliciously so. I once went by her flat to see her late one night coming back from the pub. She did not answer her door, but her flatmate, Johnny B, came down to explain gently that she couldn't come to the door as she was in her room. She had gone to bed early with her boyfriend, he emphasised, and wouldn't be coming out any time soon. I lingered looking up at her window and contemplated the tortuous image of my Kate being railed by the drippy Dominic and his 18th century French love poetry. I imagined he straddling is face, her delicious soft muff pressed against his lips, her hand reaching back to stroke his balls: I was in agony.
I did console myself with getting a new Fresher girlfriend - an American preppy called Jane with a dedication to fellatio that would do Stormy Daniels to shame! Jane was delicious -- sweet, not too bright, eager and cute with a shaved beaver (my first ever encounter) and a desire to suck me dry as often as possible. American girls at University were much more sexually educated than English and loved giving head as part of usual petting and not the big deal that Brits thought it was. Jane used to find me in the library to suck me off and I found myself emptying my sack three times a day for a couple of weeks which was glorious but exhausting.
Jane turned blow jobs into art forms, maintaining eye contact, constantly using her hands to feel my balls, stroke my shaft, rub her long blond hair in my ass crack and even deep throat till she gagged, which never really impresses me as much fun. When I tried to pull away, she would hold on to allow my seed to squirt into her mouth until she swallowed my load or it spurted down her cheek. She seemed to love the flavour and was never put off, and she taught me the intimacy of the Rainbow Kiss when she passed my load into my mouth with a kiss. Not sure I was ever to enjoy that but it was hot that she found it hot. She also loved getting head and for two weeks I rebooted my cunnilingus skills, learning to breathe through my ears and eating her out for ages. I licked her labia and teased her clit with tongue for so long that I wore a hole under my tongue where it rested on my teeth! My chin was like a glazed fruit, I ate her pussy so much, and I taught her the 69 which became her obsession for a week.
In daytime, during lunch, after lectures, before training, after training Jane was keen to see me and get into bed. What she wouldn't do was let me fuck her. She did not want to have sex, saying we were not good enough friends for that step, and yet allowed me to spend evenings with my tongue in her cunt and eyes staring at her perfect little pink ass hole. Jane was fun but ultimately, I couldn't stop thinking about Kate and her whole package. Jane was lovely and sexually expedient but not enough of a relationship. I met Kate in the street who had heard about Jane and she gave me hell for dating a "kid" for which I told her to bugger off as it wasn't her business. Not positive.
