Raya and Devin's Journey

"Hey Avery," stopping next to her desk. I won't touch anything there; papers all over. To me, it looks like chaos. But she is one of those people who work best that way. She knows where everything is, and that is what matters.

She looks up and smiles. "Hey there. What're you up to?"

"Not much. Wanted to ask if you would like to come over Saturday and watch Devin's game with me?" Devin left two days ago, and I have really been missing him. Can't wait to see if I can catch glances of him on the television.

Avery stands and grabs a chair for me. "Thanks," I say while sitting. "We will still have dinner with Devin next weekend."

"I'd love to come over." I'm treated to her incredible smile. "I'm completely open this weekend, other than some laundry. I will gladly ignore that to hang out with you."

"Oh good. I'm glad I rank higher than laundry," I laugh. "I'm looking forward to watching it, but think it will be better watching with a friend."

"A hundred percent." She grabs her phone. "Want me to bring anything?"

"Oh, I hadn't even thought about that."

Man, people usually do make a big to do for this kind of thing. My mom had always put together a big spread for my dad and his buddies. I would have gone over to their place but, now that they are retired, they travel a lot.

"Not a problem. I will grab a platter, maybe meat and cheese." She types in her phone.

"Sounds good. I'll get us some fruit, and a wine to go with everything." I also pull out my phone, open Notes, and make a list. "And anything else that looks good."

Avery laughs. "I'm sure I will be guilty of the same."

"Perfect." Closing my phone, I put it back in my pocket. I stand and Avery does the same. I pull her into a hug. "This will be fun. Thank you."

"I miss you handsome." I'm lying on my bed in my old tank top and plain panties. Not much reason to dress up when my man is away.

"Miss you too beautiful. Just a few more days, and I'll be home." He deep voice purrs in my ear and I want him home even more.

"I know, and I will be patient. Are you having lots of fun?"

"It has been good. A little bit of non-contact practice time, combined with a lot of media and local events. But at least in the evenings we have been able to relax a little. And I use them to talk with my sexy woman."

"Thankfully. I'd go crazy if we couldn't talk the whole time you were gone." I roll over onto my stomach and pick at a thread on my bedspread. "Oh, I invited Avery over Saturday to watch the game with me."

"That's good. I know you would like to be closer friends with her."

"Yeah, and you know that I've had a sexual interest in her. But I want you to know that having her over is not about that. If I bring someone else into my bed, it will be with you."

"Thank you, sweetheart. I appreciate knowing where we stand."

"You are my number one concern." I smile into the phone, wishing to touch him.

"What you wearing gorgeous?" I can hear that primal tone in his question.

Ooo, phone sex? I haven't done that before.

I can already feel the tingle down low. "Nothing much, handsome. Only my black silk tank top and matching thong."

Yes, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but I'd rather set the scene this way than admit to my frumpy clothes.

"Oh really?"

"Yep, nothing special since I'm here on my bed all by my lonesome." I lean over and reach into my night stand. "I may just need to bring out a toy to relieve some of this loneliness." I place my favorite vibrator on the bed next to me.

"I can picture you. So sexy. Laying across your bed, toy in hand. I am so hard."

"Mmm..." I put my phone on speaker, and lay it down next to me. I will need both hands soon. "That's so fucking hot! You better let it loose, so I can grab it and stroke you. Then I'll run my tongue from your balls, up to the tip."

"I lift your tank top over your head and tease your nipples. Take one in my mouth, and the other rub with my finger and thumb."

"Oh god, yes." Stripping off my shirt, I toss it to the floor. I take my nipples in my hands and picture that his hands and his mouth are what's pleasuring me. "I push you back to the bed and take your big cock in my mouth. Kneeling on the bed, I take it all the way in and out. Then return my tongue along the shaft, then deep down my throat again."

"I can feel your hot mouth. Bring your sexy ass over here. I have you move, so I can reach your pussy and ass."

"Yes, I move so you can touch me while I'm still able to devour your dick."

"I reach up and grab your ass. Then slap it and smile as I hear your little moan of desire. I run my fingers down your ass cheek then make their way slowly to your entrance."

I picture his words and move my hand down south.

"They slip between your folds, run against your swollen clit a few times, then slide within you."

My fingers rub myself, then plunge within me, as he paints the picture. I pant into the phone. "So hot, Devin. My rhythm increases on your cock as you finger my pussy. My moans of delight and pleasure, muffled by your manhood." My one hand continues playing with my breast as the other moves deep inside.

"Oh yeah, your moans are so sexy. With my other hand, I get my thumb moist before sliding it into your ass."

"I moan from the added pleasure entering my body." I pause for a moment and then decide to try. I pull out the three fingers from my pussy, they are so wet. Positioning my ring finger on my back entrance, I push my hand into me, impaling two fingers in my pussy and the one in my ass. I wiggle all of them and let out a moan of ecstasy. "Feels so good, Devin." I know not to move the ring finger back to my pussy, but at this point who would want to? "I'm getting close."

"Me too."

I slow my movements, wanting to hold off the orgasm just a bit longer. "I swirl my tongue around the head of your dick and then take you deep. Sucking you hard, bobbing my head up and down." I remove the hand that was filling me up so fully and grab my toy.

"Oh yeah, that's it..." I can hear his breath deepen with the closeness of his release. "Cum with me beautiful."

I move my vibrator over my clit and as my orgasm crests; I voice my release with Devin.

After a few minutes of heavy breathing, I can finally talk again. "That was fun."

Man, I can see the appeal of phone sex. Definitely would rather his hands actually on me, but this was great with him out of town.

"That was great, beautiful. Can't wait to be home, and be able to do all that to you in person."

"Only 4 more days. And, in the meantime, we can do that again. Touching myself was much better with you in my ear."

"Agreed." I hear him trying not to yawn.

"It's getting late. I'll let you go so you can get some sleep, handsome." I wanted to say "love you", but we haven't said that to each other yet.

"You get some sleep too beautiful. Talk to you soon."

We hang up, and I wonder if he feels the same, or if this is all just fun for him. I lay in bed, hoping he has feelings for me. I bring the covers up and snuggle in to get comfortable. I recently got out of a very long-term relationship and honestly didn't think I would meet, or really want, anyone again (except for maybe the occasional booty call).

Then Devin walks into my life again, and I can feel myself wanting so much with him. He brings stability and adventure. To feel safe, but also excited, is a wonderous thing. I fall asleep thinking about all the normal, and all the super sexy, things we can do.

***

It is Saturday, half an hour after noon. And I am setting the snacks that I had purchased on my coffee table, leaving space for what Avery brings. I picked up a fruit platter and a nut mix, with a nice bottle of Rosé chilling and a second one in the cabinet. I think the wine will go well with the meat and cheese platter Avery said she would pick up.

I turn the tv on, and find the channel I need for Devin's game. There is only thirty minutes until kick off.

The doorbell rings, and I go over to open the door for Avery. She looks great in her relaxed wear. Her dark brown hair is pulled up into a pony tail, with whisps hanging loose around her face. A pair of loose jeans sit low on her hips, and a cute red and black mid drift hugs her top. She even has a delicate gold chain around her belly. It is the perfect accent to draw attention to her figure.

"You look fantastic Avery." I pull the door wide, and she steps in.

We are becoming friendly quickly, and I am trying to gauge how she might feel about doing something sexy with me. I just can't come out and ask, it might make our budding friendship awkward. I know she was in a relationship with a lady, but that doesn't mean she has to be interested in all females. And then I will also need to feel out how she would respond to Devin being involved.

"Oh, thank you."

I shut the door behind her then reach out and take the bag out of her hand. Think she may have found a few more items than she anticipated.

Leading the way into the kitchen, I smile at her. I'm so glad she came. "Thanks for hanging out with me today."

"My pleasure. This will be fun. I used to watch football with my dad and brother growing up. But since I moved away from them, I haven't been able to. Watching a football game with you will be so much better than alone. I'm glad you asked."

We unload her grocery bags onto the counter. There is a container of cheese spread that looks good, a box of ritz crackers, and small jars of pickles and green olives. She opens up her platter of meats and cheeses. I don't think she bought one from the store, it looks like a nice container. She must have bought the meats and cheese and cut them herself. Arranging all the foods, she opens some space on each side of the tray. Grabbing the spread, she opens it and places it in the middle. It is a garlic and herb goat cheese. Then she takes the pickles and olives and splits them evenly on each side.

"Where should I put this?" She lifts the platter and looks at me. "Can you grab the crackers?"

"Of course. Follow me." I lead her into the living room. "You can put it on the coffee table."

She leans over and puts the platter next to the fruit, affording me a nice look at her butt. After my quick glance, I open the crackers and place the sleeves next to everything. "This all looks great, but I don't know if we will be able to eat all of it."

Avery laughs. "Yeah. Probably not. But that will just give us snacks for other times."

"Get comfortable. I'll grab our drinks." I return the empty cracker box to the kitchen with the other empty containers. Don't want to throw anything away yet, will probably need them for storage later.

I grab my wine bucket and put it on the counter next to the refrigerator. From the freezer, I grab some ice and dump a bunch into the bucket. I pull out the wine from the fridge and push it in, so half is under the ice. I reach into the cupboard and pull out two wine glasses before grabbing the bucket in the other hand. I finally return to the living room, both hands full.

Avery looks away from the tv and stands. "Can I help?"

Setting the bucket on the corner of the coffee table, I hand her one of the glasses. "Nope, I'm good." Putting my glass down, I reach for the wine then pause. "Oh... I forgot." Laughing, I trot off to the kitchen again. Pulling open a drawer I pull out the forgotten item. I make my way back into the living room, holding up the corkscrew. "Kinda need this."

Avery chuckles. "Ah, yes you do. Looks like you have a corked bottle instead of a screw top."

I lift the wine bottle and look at the tv. "Looks like the game is about to start." I twist in the corkscrew.

"Yes, they are doing some news updates on each team. Sounds like there was a kid that had an injury a few games back on Devin's team."

"Oh, man yes. Devin has been keeping an eye on him. And he's relieved this kid wasn't hurt worse than he was." I work the cork out of the bottle then turn to Avery and offer. "It would be fun to catch a glimpse of Devin, even if it's unlikely."

"Why unlikely?" She holds out her glass.

"Devin is the strength coach. The camera doesn't focus on him unless there is an injury." I pour in the light pink liquid into her glass, then grab my glass and do the same.

I put the bottle back in the bucket and lift my glass to Avery. "To us. To a fun day. And to a good game." We clink our glasses and then take a sip. The smooth, sweet flavor is wonderful. I grab a cracker, some meat and cheese, then take a bite. I was right, the pairing is perfect. This will be a great day.

The first half of the game goes well. Devin's team is only a head by three, but their defense has been strong. Avery and I watch and she can even explain some things to me. We snack on our food and drink the wine. We've both had two glasses and I am feeling a little bit of buzz.

At half-time, I decide to switch to some water. "I am going to get some water. Would you like some?"

"Yeah, that would be great. I'll help." Avery stands right after I do.

"Thank you." We make our way into the kitchen. "Would you mind grabbing the glasses?" I ask and point over to the cupboard with them.

She veers over to that cabinet, as I go over to the cabinet with the spare bottle of wine. I move it to the fridge, to start cooling off. Then I open the freezer to pull out the ice for our water.

"Oh nice. You have another bottle," Avery remarks as she comes up next to me and places the glasses on the counter. "That wine is fantastic."

"It is. Very easy going down. Which is why I need some water."

"Agreed." She turns to me, while I am adding ice. "How have you been doing with Devin out of town?"

"I've been fine. Miss him tons, but I'm okay. And we talk on the phone." I add water to both glasses and hand one to her.

"It can be hard to be alone while in a relationship. I understand."

We head back into the living room. One the of school's marching band is in the middle of the field. We sit down on the couch and face each other, our knees almost touching. I turn the volume down so we can talk comfortably. "It can be. But after my last relationship, I worked on being okay on my own. And I found that I like my own company. I don't need anyone, but I sure do like having certain people around."

"That is great. I've had to find myself to." She puts a hand on my leg and pats.

My body reacts to her touch. An intense desire to lean in for a kiss overwhelms me.

Not without Devin.

I take a big drink of water and sit back against the couch.

Avery leans back to and scoots over close enough that we are almost touching arms. She turns to face me. "Raya, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, anything." I look at her.

Does she feel the pull?

"Do you find me attractive?"

"Yes. Of course, look at you." I sit up and place my empty glass on the table. I'm feeling awfully thirsty all of the sudden. Standing, I grab the wine bucket with the almost empty bottle. I pour the remainer of it in Avery's glass. "I'll get us more wine."

I go into the kitchen and put everything on the counter.

What am I doing? I wanted to know if Avery may be interested in me.

I go to open the fridge but I feel Avery touch my arm and I freeze. She turns me gently and looks at me with an expression that makes my knees weak.

One of her hands goes into my hair at the nape of my neck and the other finds my waist and pulls me close. "I have been wanting to kiss you since the first time we met."

"Really?" My mind blanks and all I can think about is her. I look down at her lips, soft and plump, and see her lick them. She leans into me and her lips touch mine. Soft at first and then, as I don't pull away, she applies more pressure. I wrap my arms around her and lean into the kiss. I had never kissed a woman before and, oh man, do I like it.

I feel her hand lower from my waist to my butt and she grabs it. Then her kisses trail down my neck. "Mmmm..." It feels so good to have her hands holding me and I can only imagine how well we will pair up in the bedroom. "Sorry." I pull back from Avery, my breath heavy. I didn't like the space between us but I can't do this. "Oh man, I'm so sorry. I can't."

Avery blushes. "I shouldn't have." I see the hurt in her eyes before she looks away.

"Hey, don't be sorry. I really like kissing you." I take hold of her wrist and gently tug her so she will look at me.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I would really like to do more with you, but I am with Devin. We have a really good thing going, and I won't mess that up."

"I get it." I can see the defeat in her shoulders. "I don't want to lose a friend. Sorry."

"Neither do I." I try to make eye contact. "How would you feel about a threesome?"

That's when she does look at me. "Threesome?"

I'm not sure what her expression is. I hadn't asked her if she liked men so I'm not sure if she is open to it or not. Maybe she is just trying to figure out if I am messing with her.

"Go sit and I'll get the wine. We can talk."

She makes her way into the living room. I do hope she doesn't bolt. I really would like more with her, but I also really don't want to lose a friend. I dump the mostly melted ice in the sink and refresh the bucket with new ice. I take it all back into the living room and return it to the coffee table. Pulling the wine out, I grab the corkscrew and get it open. I top off Avery's glass and fill mine.

I look at Avery, she is just staring at the tv. The game is back in full swing. I feel horrible, I didn't want her to feel rejected. I am definitely not rejecting her. On the contrary, I'd like to be with her more.

I pick up her glass and hand it to her. "Hey." After she takes it, I move some hair behind her ear. "I am serious about the threesome."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, Devin and I have been talking about it since our conversation about kinks and exploring our bedroom activities." I can feel my cheeks warm. "And to be honest, I brought up the idea with Devin about a threesome because I had found myself very interested in you." I smile at her and she smiles back.

She straightens her shoulders. "You are attracted to me?"

"Very much actually. I was going to try to gauge how you may feel about me, to see if I could bring up the threesome."

Avery laughs. "Well, I gave that information up pretty easily."

"You did." I giggle. "And I'm glad." I take her hand and hold it between us. "So, do you feel one way or the other about a threesome?"

"To tell you the truth, I haven't been with a man for several years but thinking about it is getting me hot. But I'd like to actually talk to Devin before we jump in the bed."

"Oh yeah, not a problem. We already had next weekend planned for us to have dinner as a group."

"That's right. That works out perfectly."

I pour Avery and myself another glass when they were empty. I've got a good buzz going, and think Avery does as well. Avery and I are back to the relaxed atmosphere. Laughing and just talking about whatever, but now we are touchier. We are holding each other's hand, placing our hands on each other's legs. Just those wonderful light grazes that keep you aware that someone you want is nearby.

The game is at the end of the fourth quarter and I still haven't been able to spot Devin. But that was expected, and for the best. I wouldn't want to wish someone harm, just so I could see my boyfriend. His team is up by a touchdown, with only a minute left on the clock. Avery and I both cheer as our quarterback runs up the field and makes another touchdown. The game ends 34-20, Devin will be so happy that they won.

I look up at the clock, it is almost 4pm. "I'm not sure about you, but I'm pretty tipsy." I really don't want to have Avery driving if she feels like I do.

"I am feeling it too. We did finish off two bottles of wine." She laughs.
