Emmett and Quan came to the conclusion they were better off as "fuck buddies," than lovers.
Emmett and I broke up in 2021 after eight years together. He and I didn't mesh, for I was on the rise with my career as a registered nurse, and he was still in the Navy stagnant, not wanting much more than what he was given.
"You seeing anyone right now," I asked him a few weeks after we went our separate ways.
Though we separated we still had a certain respect for each other as we could be friends, and just coexist and be cordial.
That question from me sparked a conversation between us where we'd discuss current events in our lives, from him losing family members, to me buying a new house, a new car, a receiving a new, higher paying job at a convalescent home as life was grand for me and sour for him. Maybe I was wrong for I called us off, but I was trending upwards and needed someone doing the same.
"I haven't been with anyone else since me and you," he claimed.
I, too was still free and single, always having plenty of suitors, but couldn't see myself having full blown sex with any of the prospects.
"So you walking around here with a new cherry," he asked me.
That made me laugh for it was true, and I wasn't necessarily in a rush to change that.
"I've got an idea. Let's do like we used to," he suggested.
I was blind to what he meant until he explained that he just wanted to have sex from time to time.
"We can do that, as long as we're both single," I told him.
I had needs like he did, and though we could no never align for a relationship, our sexual chemistry was good enough to continue to see each other until we committed to others. Shit, Emmett knew my body and I knew his, and for nothing, the both of us were starving since our last encounter due to not settling just for anything.
"Can we make good on that promise tomorrow," he asked me as we talked on a Friday.
I laughed as I originally had plans to go out with friends, but that seven inch sausage was a lightning rod for my insides and I for one wouldn't miss it.
"Tomorrow at 6 p.m. fine? You coming here, or am I coming to your place," I asked as I was texting my friends, letting them know the change in plans due to my dick appointment.
I didn't give him the chance to answer as I thought of Emmett being inside me again, and how it felt to be completely taken over again.
The time came and I sat on the porch as he pulled into my gravel laced driveway, parked his pickup. The slender 35 year old stepped out in a fresh outfit with a fresh haircut, and his beard trimmed just the way I liked it.
"You really came to impress, but baby its just me," I reminded him as he climbed my porch steps.
