"Sorry, Jeremy, not tonight."
"What's wrong, Celia?"
He watched her move away from him to the other side of the bed. When she got there, she turned and faced him.
"You know what's wrong," she said.
"No I don't."
"Never mind. I have some bad news and some good news for you, Jeremy. Do you care which I tell you first?"
"No."
He was irritated because she rarely turned him down unless she wasn't feeling well, and then she always explained why. This time she hadn't given him any excuse.
"The bad news is I'm not going to have sex with you again until you get tested for STDs. The good news is that if the lab gives you a clean bill of health, you can finally throw your condoms away."
"I don't understand. You're so worried about having a baby before you're married that you make me wear a rubber even though you're on the pill. Are you trying to trick me into getting you pregnant?"
The look on her face told me he'd better tell her he was joking.
"I'm not serious of course, but what's with the lab tests?"
Her expression was still stone cold as she spoke.
"I'll tell you this much. I'm still on the pill, and right now the last thing in the world I want is your baby. This discussion is over. I've made my decision, and you need to make yours."
He tried a couple more times to get her to talk about it, but she turned her back to him, and he couldn't tell if she was awake or asleep. Finally, he gave up.
The next morning, he asked her again what was bothering her.
"I said all I have to say last night" was her response. She listened to him with the same expression on her face as the night before while she silently ate her cereal and sipped her coffee. When she finished her breakfast, she grabbed her laptop and purse and went to the door. She turned and took a few steps back toward him and repeated.
"I said all I have to say last night."
He went to a medical lab in his office complex during his lunch break and had the work done. A few days later, the lab called and said he could pick up his test results. When he presented them at dinner, all she said was, "Thank you."
From that night on, their sex life was different. In a way, it was better than any fantasy he could have imagined. Jeremy hadn't had sex without a condom since he was a foolhardy teenager. He noticed immediately how much better it felt. At first, he was so stimulated and excited that he came almost immediately. He was worried that Celia would be angry. But she never said a word.
Once he got more used to the feeling, he could control himself better, and he enjoyed watching her multiple orgasms almost as much as he enjoyed his own.
He made an effort to extend their sessions and maximize their pleasure, because he found that once he came, Celia lost all interest, whether she had come or not. As soon as he was soft, she jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom. When she returned, she didn't respond to him anymore, although sometimes he noticed her crying as she moved away from him.
What really surprised him is that she also took him in her mouth occasionally. Early in their relationship, she had told him how the thought of that made her ill, so he never brought it up. Now each time she did it, she apologized to him in advance.
"Jeremy, I've got to get up really early for an appointment tomorrow morning," she might say. "Do you mind if I use my mouth tonight?"
Did he mind? She was a magician with her tongue, and her suction was so strong that she had him coming in minutes. She sucked every drop out of him and then ran to the bathroom. From the expression on her face, he could tell she hated the taste of his come.
If it's so disgusting to her, why did she do it? She said it was because she was in a hurry. He had never pressured her for sex. He may have been disappointed when she declined, but he never said so.
All of a sudden, it was important for her to get him off even when it nauseated her. He thought about asking her why, but he hesitated. If he questioned her, she might stop, and it felt so great.
Outside of bed, their relationship was friendly, but she seemed cooler to him than any time since they first met in a yoga class and had fallen hard for each other. Their relationship had sometimes been stormy, but now they never argued anymore.
Jeremy sort of missed the fights, because he got really turned on when Celia was angry and combative. She seemed to feel the same way, because their arguments usually ended with great make-up sex.
The sex they had now was less emotional and more raw and animalistic. It was also more frequent -- nearly every night.
She came up with new ideas to excite him. It seemed like a contest. She would try to stimulate him to come fast, and he would try to hold out as long as he could. Often a new position or movement would get him off quickly, and she'd use it again and again until he got used to it and could hold back longer. Then she'd move on to something else.
The first time she brought up anal, he almost fell off the bed. She had told him early in their relationship that she would never do that. Now she was the one suggesting it.
When they tried it, he could tell she hated it even more than sucking his cock. The first time, she made him do it doggy style. He couldn't see her face, which was buried in a pillow. He heard strange muffled sounds and her body twitched and squirmed. After he came, she jumped up and ran to the bathroom crying. He figured it was the last time they would ever do that, but he was wrong.
She walked gingerly for a few days, but she never mentioned the pain. A week later she said she wanted to try again. This time, she asked him to push some lube inside her ass, get on his back and tell her when he was almost ready to come.
She took him in her mouth and sucked him until he gasped that he was close. She got up, straddled him and squatted down slowly facing him while her hands guided his cock into her ass. Once he was inside her, she began riding him slowly for a few seconds. The "uh-oo-uh" sounds from her mouth told him she wasn't comfortable.
He was surprised that she speeded up almost immediately and began slamming her ass down on him while panting to deal with her pain.
Within a minute, he had come inside her. She sat on him for a while until he was soft. As she carefully got off him and headed for the bathroom, he smiled at her trick to shorten her anal agony.
Then he frowned. Why was she using tricks instead of just telling him she didn't like anal? He thought about asking her, but he never did.
