Chapter 1
I stroked Travis’s cheek, my fingers tracing the familiar scatter of freckles across his nose. We had been together for six years and were college sweethearts who had built a comfortable life together. He was my everything: 5′7" of beach blonde hair and bright blue eyes that still made my heart flutter. But the words he just uttered felt like a sudden jolt of electricity, leaving me breathless and confused.
“A threesome?” I whispered, my brows furrowing. “Why now, Travis? Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden baby?”
I reached up, gripping his tie and pulling him closer, searching his eyes for some sign that he was joking. Instead, he responded by sliding his hands down to my thighs, squeezing the fabric of my leggings firmly. He leaned in, capturing my lips in a rough kiss.
When he pulled back, I felt a spike of insecurity. “Are you cheating on me?”
Travis let out a genuine laugh. “Hell no, Bella. Why would I? You’re sexy as fuck. You’re everything I need, everything I want babygirl.”
I rolled my eyes, though a small smile tugged at my lips. I leaned in and kissed him deeply, my tongue sliding against his, causing him to let out a low moan. He reached up, gently brushing my bangs out of my eyes, his gaze intensifying.
“I love you so much,” he murmured. He bit his lip, his eyes scanning my face. “Your eyes, your lips...fuck, you drive me crazy.”
Despite the warmth of his words, the anxiety remained. I thought about his mother, who had spent years making it clear she didn’t think I was good enough for him. Maybe that was why I felt so fragile right now.
“Is it with a man or a woman?” I asked tentatively. Then, the honesty spilled out. “I’m nervous, Travis. You’re the only man I’ve ever been with. The thought of someone else...it’s terrifying.”
Travis didn’t pull away. Instead, he stepped closer, his voice a seductive whisper.
“I’ve been fantasizing about it, Bella. Just imagine it. Me sleeping with another woman, but you’re right there. You’re watching every second, touching yourself, getting off on the sight of me taking someone else while knowing I’m yours.”
The mental image hit me like a wave, and my first instinct was panic. “I don’t want to do it! I can’t!”
“No strings attached, baby,” he assured me, his voice smooth and reassuring. “It’s just to spice things up. To add a little fire to the bedroom.”
I looked away, my heart hammering against my ribs, but Travis wasn’t letting me retreat. He cupped my chin, forcing me to look back into those piercing blue eyes. “It’ll be nice. I promise babe.”
He didn’t give me time to argue further. His hand slid up, squeezing my breast firmly through my shirt. I gasped as he gripped the fabric, tugging it upward and over my shoulder to expose my nipple. He didn’t hesitate, leaning down to latch onto my full breast. His mouth was hot, his tongue swirling around the peak before he sucked hard, pulling my nipple deep into his throat.
A loud moan escaped me, my toes curling. The nervousness was still there, but it was being drowned out by a surging tide of lust. Travis groaned into my skin, his hands sliding down to hoist me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist, clinging to him as he carried me into the bedroom and dropped me onto the mattress.
He moved with a sudden, hungry urgency. He ripped off his tie, kicked off his trousers and briefs, and flung his shirt aside in one fluid motion. He stood over me, naked and smirking, his average build toned and ready. He began to strip me, his eyes devouring every inch of my skin as the clothes fell away.
“You have no idea how much I want you,” he growled.
He dove between my legs, his face pressing into my pussy. I arched my back, screaming his name as he began to eat me out. His tongue was relentless, flicking against my clit with a precision that had me shaking. He sucked on me, drinking in my juices, his breath hot against my thighs. I was a sobbing mess of pleasure, my fingers digging into the sheets as he drove me toward the edge.
Just as I peaked, he surged upward, sliding his hard cock inside me in one deep, filling thrust. I gasped, my walls clamping tight around him. He began to pump into me, his movements fast and powerful. Every thrust felt like he was claiming me, reminding me that no matter who else might enter the room in the future, I was the one he came home to.
We crashed together, our skin wet with sweat, until he let out a loud groan and filled me with his warm cum. Within minutes, he rolled off me and fell into a deep, heavy sleep.
I lay there in the silence, the echoes of our passion still flowing in my veins. I looked at him and wondered if our life had truly become that boring that he felt the need for this. I felt a lingering sense of dread mixed with a strange, forbidden curiosity.
Eventually, I climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I let the warm water of the bath wash away the scent of sex, my mind racing. I knew what I had to do. Tomorrow, I would call my best friend Nora. She had always been the adventurous one, the friend who knew how to handle these things. I needed her advice.
After drying off and dressing in a soft nightgown, I climbed back into bed. Travis was flat on his back now, snoring loudly, completely oblivious to the storm of emotions swirling inside me. I curled up against him, wondering if I was brave enough to say yes.
