“How many times do you think we've fucked?” asked Millie. She and Jon sat alone at the café. The two friends/ex-lovers were sharing a quiet moment two days ahead of Millie's wedding to Stuart. As Jon sat with his friend, he was both jealous and in awe of her fiance. Stuart accomplished the impossible: he won Millie's heart.
At thirty-two Millie was as sexy as ever. Her blondish red hair, green eyes, freckles, and slightly plump figure gave her a girl next door appearance. Stuart had dated Millie a mere eight months before proposing to her. Now, the couple was set to wed, and, as the deadline drew closer, the bride-to-be was starting to panic.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Jon answered Millie’s question: "I wasn't really keeping count, but dozens at least."
Millie nodded before responding, "Right. And for me, each time was good or, at the very least, fun. I always felt taken care of. I love Stuart. He’s everything I want in a husband, but I feel totally unsatisfied."
More than anything, Jon wanted to advise his friend to leave her fiancé so he could date her. After all, Jon and Millie had been having sex together for over ten years. But Jon ultimately wanted what was best for his friend, and Stuart would be the husband she deserved.
Millie continued to vent. “It never feels right when we make love. His technique is to cum as quickly as possible. I wish he could last a little longer.”
Jon smiled and responded, “As you’re aware, my experience is that a good teacher can really move things along. Have you tried showing him what you want?”
Millie sighed. “More times than I can count. I think we could be very happy, but I’m not sure the sex will get any better.”
Jon was aware of Millie’s sensuous nature. There were many nights when he dreamed of their nights together, the feel of her body, and the explosive orgasms. His mind started to wander into fantasy. Could it be that he and Millie would find their way back to his bed? Would they share a night of pleasure? Maybe she would be his for good. Millie quickly disabused her friend of his salacious thoughts.
“I’m not just here to cast doubt on whether I’ll ever orgasm again. I’m sure we can work it out - sex is just one aspect of a relationship. Anyway, I really appreciate how you kept our past quiet in front of Stuart. He’s not the jealous type, but I don’t think he’d be happy about our history.”
Although disappointed that she was building a life with Stuart, Jon was happy. Millie was very special, and he wanted only happiness for her, even if it meant she belonged to another.
In her blunt way, Millie switched subjects, “I know you’re not seeing anyone, so would you consider taking Karen as a date to the wedding?”
Jon held back from screaming out, “What the fuck!”
Stuart’s older sister Karen was perhaps the most humorless Jon had ever met! He’d never even so much as seen her smile. Beyond her serious nature was her lack of tact. Jon had personally experienced Karen’s pointed, outrageous questions. She’d once asked him in her droll, matter-of-fact way (and in front of her brother and their parents) if he’d ever slept with Millie. On another occasion, she asked Millie (who had gained some weight over the holidays) if she was pregnant. With gritted teeth, Jon granted the favor.
To Jon, Karen seemed like she lacked even so much as a scintilla of sensuousness. Because the two had encountered each other multiple times over the life of Millie and Stuart’s romance, Jon learned about several Karen’s habits that he found troubling. Jon, who loved food, was shocked at Karen’s hatred of anything flavorful. She hated garlic and shallots. Onions were “too strong” for her. She gagged over the idea of whipped cream on strawberries. And now he would be spending the entirety of the wedding with her.
The wedding day arrived, and Jon knocked on Karen’s hotel door to pick her up. Karen opened the door. Shivers traveled down Jon’s spine when his date opened the door. Her bespeckled, steely gray eyes stared through him. Her pink bridesmaid dress fit well, highlighting her sexy curves. Her luscious brown hair was curled. Yet, her bright red lipstick highlighted her pale skin. Yet, still, the young man found himself bizarrely attracted to this strange woman.
