Mandy was a chubby but attractive, five-and-a-half foot, twenty-three-year-old honey blonde female standing in the living room of her apartment. She was also Jordy Mills' live-in girlfriend of nearly eight years, his high school sweetheart. And she had questions about his recent sexual proclivities.
"You used to be so vanilla. I talked you into fucking my ass that first time and you hardly touched it that often after that... until lately. Now you want it all the time. Last night, you ate my ass for the first time and this morning you're suggesting that maybe we should try pegging. What's going on with you?"
Well, Jordy thought. It's really very simple. I've been seduced by a man into regular sex and I've become addicted to ass-pleasure and I'm desperately trying to wean myself off him to be your straight and faithful boyfriend again.
What he actually said: "It was just an idea. You know, spice things up in the bedroom. Like your Cosmo always says."
"Are you tired of me? Is that it?"
"No, Baby, never! It's nothing. Don't even think about it. I was thinking of you. I thought you might like it. I wanted to let you know I was open to it. That's all."
"Seven years is a good run. Maybe that's all we are good for..."
"Oh, no, Baby! Don't think like that! I want you for..."
"What?"
"I, well, I was trying to wait for the perfect time and place, but we need this now."
"Need what?"
"I'll be right back!" Jordy ran out of the kitchen where they were having this worrisome conversation into the bedroom and dug down into the bottom of his sock and underwear drawer. He found it there and hurried back to the living room.
"Baby, Mandy, this is for you!" He went down on one knee and opened the case so that she could see the spectacular ring inside. "I want you forever. Will you marry me?"
Mandy wore a perplexed look. It was eleven o'clock Saturday morning. She and her boyfriend were wearing pyjamas. The living room was a mess. It wasn't a post card moment.
But he had just pledged his undying love and proposed marriage.
"Oh, my God, yes!"

"So," Del said, "You were talking to your girlfriend about pegging and you popped the question in your living room. And she said yes. That's really the incredible part."
Del, the handsome black man who had become Jordy's regular lover by making deals with him that he couldn't refuse, seemed amused by the whole situation. He swirled his Scotch and the ice in the glass clinked. The two men were seated on a leather sofa in Del's living room.
"It's not funny, Del. Thank God I was able to wow her and change the track with the proposal and the honeymoon cruise."
"Yeah, that works out okay for you, but I'm the guy getting the short end of the stick. You'll be getting married quicker now, so I'm the guy that loses on this deal."
A few weeks before, Del called in a favour from a friend and contracted the cruise for Mandy and Jordy as part of a deal he made with Jordy. Del covered the expenses. In return, Del would have full sexual use of Jordy's ass and mouth at least one night a week until the couple's first anniversary.
"Now you've taken months off my scorecard."
"Well, I lose too," Jordy said, staring into his own Scotch. "I don't dare bring up the subject of pegging again, so how am I going to get ass-fucked?"
The answer was all too obvious. Del grinned.
"Don't you think it's time I met Mandy? I mean we're friends, right? With benefits, I know, but still, friends, right?"
Jordy nodded. He wasn't sure when it happened, but the jeweller had become his confidant as well as his lover. "Sure, we're friends, but maybe you can see why I might not want to introduce my fiancΓ©e to my gay lover?"
"Aw, don't be that way. I can be discreet. I'd really like to meet her."
"How do I explain to her that I have a gay friend she never met?"
"Well, tell her the truth. I'm the jeweller who sold you the ring after all. It's not like you have to pretend you have another reason for knowing me. You never mentioned me because you got to know me while making installment payments on the ring and that was understandably a secret from her. Hell, that's almost true."
"Hmm." Jordy still wasn't sure about crashing two different worlds together. "That could work, I guess."
