The Night I Told My Uncle the Truth About Sofía

I hadn’t meant to tell him that night. But the whisky was good, Rubén’s apartment smelled of tobacco and old books, and my uncle had that way of listening that made things come out on their own.

It had been almost a year since we’d seen each other. Rubén was my mother’s younger brother: separated for a long time, childless, with more books than furniture and the calm of a man who didn’t owe anyone explanations. I’d always liked him. He was the kind of person who didn’t judge—or at least that’s what I thought.

After dinner, we stayed in the living room. Two glasses, low light, the sound of the street muffled by the closed windows. We talked about work, politics, things that didn’t matter much. And then he asked me about Sofía.

“How’s your wife?” he said, with that half-smile of his that never quite fully appeared.

“Fine. She’s got a thousand things on her plate. Work, classes, the gym…”

He nodded and looked at his glass. A long silence settled between us.

“Sofía always struck me as a particular woman,” he said, without looking at me. “The kind you can’t help noticing when she walks into a room.”

I felt a knot in my chest. Not jealousy. Something else. The thing I knew and kept silent about.

“Yes,” I said. “I notice all of that.”

He turned his head. He didn’t speak, but his eyes asked me something.

I wanted to keep quiet. I took a long drink and changed the subject. I asked him about a trip he was planning, about a backache he’d mentioned earlier. But Rubén was patient.

“Are you all right, Marcos?” he asked a few minutes later, in his usual unhurried tone.

“Yes. Of course.”

“Are you sure?”

Something in that word opened me up from the inside. I swallowed.

“I’m not right. With Sofía, I mean. We’ve barely had anything between us for a long time. And something’s happening to me that I don’t really know how to explain.”

He waited without rushing me.

“It turns me on when she’s with other men,” I said, lowering my voice. “When other men fuck her. Use her. Fill her with cum while I watch, or while she tells me about it afterward.”

The silence that followed was absolute. I continued before I could change my mind:

“It wasn’t something I went looking for. It started as a game, three years ago. But it kept growing until now it’s the only thing that really gets me off. What we had before isn’t enough anymore. Seeing Sofía with another cock filling her mouth, with her pussy spread open and dripping with someone else’s come, is the only thing that gets my dick hard like when I was twenty. And that… I don’t know how to handle either.”

Rubén didn’t move. He didn’t blink. He only listened.

“Have you seen her with other men?” he asked at last.

I nodded. My face was burning, but I couldn’t stop.

“Yes. Several times. Different men. Sometimes I’m there, sometimes I’m not. Sometimes she messages me while they’re fucking her. Photos. Videos. She’s shown me cocks buried all the way inside her pussy, her ass, her mouth. And I… when I see them, I go crazy. I take my clothes off and jerk off until I come against the screen.”

I saw Rubén lean slightly forward. A fraction. Enough for me to notice that something had changed in him too.

“Do you have them?” he asked, his voice lower than before.

I hesitated. But I took out my phone. I found the folder and handed it to him.

He took it in both hands and began scrolling slowly through the images. In the first, Sofía was facing away in a hotel room, her dress pulled up to her waist, panties gone, her buttocks spread apart, and a dark cock buried to the base in her pussy. Her hands were braced against the wall so she wouldn’t fall. In the second, she was facing the camera, eyes closed and mouth open around another cock, a strand of saliva running down her chin to her tits, which hung firm, their nipples pinched between someone else’s fingers. In the third, taken from behind, she was completely surrendered, the curve of her ass barely lit by a small lamp, a man gripping her hip and driving into her anus, come running down the insides of her thighs as though she’d already been used earlier that same night.

Rubén took a while to speak.

“Jesus…” he murmured, almost to himself. “What an ass your wife has, nephew. What a beautiful pussy. And look at the way that son of a bitch is eating her.”

He slowly ran a hand over his jaw. With the other, he kept scrolling. Now there was one of Sofía kneeling between two men, a cock in each hand, her mouth open and waiting. In another, two fingers were spreading her pussy open for the camera, showing how a thick white pool was pouring into her.

“I always knew there was something about Sofía. From the first time I saw her. Do you remember that end-of-year party at your mother’s house? She was wearing that black dress…”

“I remember,” I said, feeling heat rise through my body.

“I couldn’t take my eyes off her. I felt like an idiot for it, because she was your wife. But some women give you no choice but to look at them. That night I went home and jerked off thinking about what her naked ass must look like. And now I can see it. It’s even better than I imagined.”

We remained silent for a moment. It was a different kind of complicity. Something darker, more intimate than anything we’d talked about before.

“How many, Marcos?” he asked, without taking his eyes off the phone.

“A lot. More than I can count without thinking about it.”

“Tell me who they are.”

I don’t know why I answered him in detail. But I did.

“A neighbor of ours, retired, very respectable-looking. He grabbed her against the elevator door and fucked her standing up while I waited inside the apartment. A coworker of hers in his fifties who started looking at her differently from the very first day, and ended up emptying himself inside her ass in a restaurant bathroom. Two young lawyers who came to the house for a consultation and took turns with her on the dining-room table, one in her pussy and the other in her mouth. My former boss, who’s almost seventy and still has that way of entering a room as if he owns it. He had her on top of him for three hours, impaled, until she could barely stand.”

Rubén opened his mouth, then closed it again.

“Your boss?” he repeated.

“And the doormen from our old building. Three of them. Not at the same time, but during the same week. They lifted her as if she weighed nothing. One held her ass with both hands while he fucked her standing against the wardrobe, while she scratched his back and screamed at him not to stop. And I… I did nothing. I only watched from the hallway, my cock hanging out of my pants, coming against the doorframe when I heard him finish inside her.”

My uncle rested the phone on his knee, but he didn’t let go of it. His breathing was heavier. I could tell by the way his chest rose and fell. And I also noticed, though I tried not to look, the bulge that had formed in his trousers.

“Marcos,” he said, using my name in a way he never usually did. “What turns you on the most?”

It took me a moment to answer.

“When they fuck her ass. When they push the whole cock into her asshole and she begs for more. She changes when that happens. She gets on her knees, arches her back, spreads her cheeks with her hands, and begs them to drive it all the way in. She gives herself to them in a way she never managed to with me.”

Rubén closed his eyes for a moment.

“Does she seek it out?”

“She provokes it. She lubes herself, lies face down with her legs open, or gets on all fours on the bed and says, ‘There, fuck me there, break my ass.’ When she feels them filling her there, she bites her lips, grabs her tits, and comes hard. Several times in a row. She cums screaming and trembling, her pussy dripping even while they’re fucking her from the other side. She says it’s the only thing that empties her completely. That no orgasm of her own compares to the one she has when a cock explodes in her ass.”

He looked at the photos again. He ran his tongue over his lips. He stopped at one showing Sofía on all fours, looking over her shoulder at the camera, mouth open and a thick cock buried to the base in her anus, sunk so deeply that barely any of the man’s skin could be seen pressed against her buttocks.

“When she comes back,” he said more slowly, “after being with one of them… do you…?”

“I jerk off while she tells me about it,” I said, unable to meet his eyes. “She lies down beside me, still carrying their smell on her skin, her pussy swollen and her ass red, and describes everything. Their sizes. How long each one is. How they hold her. Whether they pull her hair or squeeze her neck. How long it takes before she can walk normally the next day. Sometimes she spreads her legs and shows me how come is still leaking out of her, hours later. She puts it on my fingers and makes me taste it. And I end up trembling, coming all over her belly, my cock swollen as if it were the first time in my life.”

My uncle closed his eyes for a moment, as though the image had struck him directly somewhere he didn’t want to reveal.

“Your wife,” he said, “is something else.”

“I know.”

“And you’re the only one who understands that about her.”

He said it without judgment. As if it were a strange but irrefutable truth.

Then Rubén leaned back in the armchair and completely changed his tone. It was as if someone had switched off one light and turned on another.

“Can I tell you something, nephew?” His voice was more serious now. More thoughtful.

“Of course.”

“Everything you’re telling me, beyond what it awakens… it seems to me that it’s covering something up. A crack between you that never properly closed. And over time, that ends up breaking everything else.”

It wasn’t what I expected to hear. It took me completely by surprise.

“I have a friend who works as a couples’ therapist. His name is Heredia. Many years of experience, trained in sexuality, very discreet. It isn’t about him telling you what to do or what to stop doing. It’s about looking at what lies beneath all of this.”

I remained silent. He continued:

“You could bring Sofía. She doesn’t have to know everything from the start. He knows how to read between the lines. He knows how to find what people don’t say.”

“I thought you were going to ask me for more pictures,” I said, almost without thinking.

Rubén smiled. It wasn’t a mocking smile.

“Of course your wife stirred something in me. I’m not going to be a hypocrite. I’ve had a hard-on for half an hour. But what matters to me now is you. And what the two of you are building—or what you’re losing without knowing it.”

He rested a hand on my shoulder and said nothing more.

That night I went home feeling lighter. Not because anything had been resolved. But because someone had listened to everything without being scandalized, and had offered me a hand.

***

Heredia’s waiting room was small and austere. Three chairs, a low table with old magazines, a plant in the corner. Sofía sat beside me with her arms crossed and that expression she wore when something didn’t entirely convince her.

Rubén sat in the chair opposite us, calm, his hands resting on his knees.

“Will you explain to me again what I’m doing here?” Sofía asked quietly.

“Talking to someone who can help both of us,” I replied.

She turned her head toward Rubén, one eyebrow raised.

“And what are you doing here?”

“I came with them because they asked me to,” he said without becoming flustered. “Heredia is good. More than forty years working with couples and complicated relationships. He knows what he’s doing.”

Sofía didn’t answer. She looked toward the inner door.

A few minutes later, the door opened.

Dr. Heredia came in without hurrying. He must have been around sixty-five, although he moved as if he were ten years younger. Stout, broad-backed, with graying hair combed back. A dark shirt with the first two buttons open, revealing a firm chest that still belonged to a powerful man. Large, thick hands with long fingers. A strong, warm cologne reached us before he did.

He greeted Rubén with a brief, firm embrace. He shook our hands with a measured but confident grip. He looked at Sofía for a moment longer than necessary. He held her hand for a second too long. I saw it. And so did she.

“Come in,” he said. “There’s nothing to fear in here.”

The office was more spacious than the hallways suggested: ocher walls, hundreds of books, a floor lamp, a large sofa, and two facing armchairs. It smelled of leather and something else, a mixture of incense and his own cologne floating softly through the air.

Before we sat down, Heredia asked Rubén to wait outside. I spoke up:

“I’d rather he stayed. He already knows everything. He was the first person I talked to about this.”

Sofía looked at me. She didn’t understand what “everything” meant. But she didn’t ask.

The doctor nodded and indicated the armchairs.

We sat facing him. Sofía somewhat rigid. Rubén farther back, still.

Heredia crossed one leg and took a notebook, setting it on his knee without writing anything.

“Tell me what brings you here,” he said.

I began.

“We lost something. The connection we used to have. I don’t know if it’s routine or exhaustion, but we’re not the way we were at the beginning anymore.”

“And emotionally? Do you get along?”

Sofía answered before I could.

“We love each other. That’s never changed.”

“Then there’s love,” Heredia said calmly. “That eliminates a great many possible problems.”

His eyes settled on me.

“When you say ‘connection,’ Marcos… are you talking about emotional or sexual closeness?”

“Sexual,” I admitted. “Mostly.”

Sofía lowered her gaze. The doctor noticed.

“Sofía. Do you feel that distance too?”

She hesitated for several seconds.

“Yes. But I don’t really understand what needs repairing.”

Heredia leaned slightly forward, without invading her space, but making his presence felt.

“Nothing is broken,” he said. “There’s something looking for a way out. And when you search without really knowing what you’re searching for, you get a little lost along the way.”

His words hung in the air. There was something in the way he spoke that seemed to shrink the room.

“Desire takes unexpected forms,” he continued. “And the most dangerous thing isn’t having that desire. It’s keeping it silent until it becomes an enemy.”

He said it while looking directly at Sofía. His eyes dropped for a second to her cleavage, then returned to her face. It happened so quickly that only I, who knew her, could notice the way her nipples tightened beneath her blouse.

She didn’t move, but something in her posture changed. Something tiny that I knew well.

Rubén noticed it too.

“I’d like Sofía to have the first chance to say what she feels,” Heredia said, setting the notebook on the table without having written anything.

She took a moment.

“I like feeling desired,” she said at last. “A lot. I’ve always been that way.”

My heart tightened. The doctor nodded slowly.

“That’s completely natural. The desire to be seen, admired, pursued… there’s nothing wrong with it.”

He looked at me.

“And you, Marcos? What do you feel when other people desire her?”

“It depends. Sometimes fear. Sometimes something like pride. And sometimes”—I swallowed—“something that gets hard in my cock before it reaches my head.”

“Pride because you know they see what you already know is valuable,” Heredia said, as if completing a sentence I’d left unfinished. And he smiled faintly at the last part. “And also something more honest, something physical. There’s nothing to hide here.”

Then he turned back to Sofía. This time his gaze lingered a moment longer. He paused over her neck, her shoulders, the way she held her hands crossed over her skirt, then lowered his eyes without disguising it to where the fabric molded itself to her thighs.

“Sofía. What happens in your body when you feel that attention?”

She swallowed.

“I get turned on,” she whispered. “Everything gets wet.”

The doctor moved a little closer, without invading her space but making his presence felt in another way.

“And when Marcos knows other men are looking at you… when he’s aware of that… what do you feel?”

Sofía looked at him. Not at me.

“More,” she said. Just that one word. “Much more. My pussy drips.”

Heredia held her gaze for several long seconds. She blushed, but didn’t look away.

Then he leaned back in the sofa with the expression of someone who had just confirmed something he already knew.

“Good,” he said. “We have a very clear starting point here.”

No one spoke for several seconds.

Then Heredia asked Sofía to close her eyes. She did so without hesitation, as if she had been waiting for the instruction.

“I want you to imagine that you’re in a place full of people. A room, or a terrace, with men all around you. You don’t see them, but you feel them. You feel their eyes traveling over you. Feel them stopping. Feel them unable to move on.”

He paused.

“On your back. Your waist. The place where your hips begin to curve downward. The hollow between your buttocks, even though you’re dressed. Your nipples, hardening right now as I speak to you.”

Sofía began breathing more slowly. Her hands were no longer crossed. They separated over her thighs, palms open against her skirt.

“You feel one of them shifting so he can look at you better. Another tensing his shoulders because he can’t control himself. Because you know, without needing to see them, that what they’re imagining doing to you… isn’t gentle. They’re thinking about grabbing your hair. Ripping off your clothes. Spreading your legs and burying a cock all the way inside your pussy.”

Sofía moved her fingers slightly. They settled on her thigh. They began slowly pushing up the fabric of her skirt, without seeming to realize what she was doing.

“Do you like that?” Heredia asked, his voice reduced to a low, slow thread. “Knowing they’re thinking about spreading you open, taking you from behind, penetrating your ass until you scream? Holding you by the waist and fucking you without stopping, one after another, until they fill you with come through all three holes?”

She didn’t answer in words.

But her hand moved inward. Slowly. With a naturalness that left me breathless. Her fingers slipped between her thighs, beneath the skirt that had already ridden halfway up, and sank into the place where I knew she was wet. I heard her sigh. Her neck arched back slightly, and her lips parted to let out the air.

Heredia watched her without taking his eyes away. His fly showed the strain beneath it. Rubén’s fists were clenched on his knees, a heavy shadow between his legs. I couldn’t breathe. I felt my own cock harden inside my pants until it hurt.

“What you’re feeling now,” the doctor said, almost in a whisper, “isn’t a problem. It’s your truth. And the most powerful thing you can do with a truth like that is not hide it.”

Sofía trembled faintly. Her lips parted without making a sound. Her hand kept moving beneath her skirt, at an increasingly deliberate rhythm. A short, bitten-off moan escaped her, one she tried to swallow but couldn’t.

“Keep going,” Heredia said. “Don’t stop. Show us what happens when a woman stops pretending she doesn’t need it. Spread your legs, Sofía. Show us that wet pussy. Let him see it.”

And she did. Without opening her eyes, without saying a word, she parted her knees and let her skirt fall back. I saw her pussy, shaved, pink, gleaming with moisture, her lips already swollen, two of her fingers buried inside it. I heard her gasp when she pulled them out and realized she was dripping. A thick strand fell onto the leather of the armchair. Heredia looked at it without shame. Rubén did too. So did I.

“Put them back in,” the doctor said, without taking his eyes off the space between her legs. “Fuck yourself, Sofía. Fuck yourself here in front of your husband, in front of us. Let us see how you do it when there’s no one to hold you back.”

She obeyed. She pushed three fingers in to the knuckles and began pumping herself. With her other hand she yanked open her blouse, sending two buttons flying, pulled one breast out of her bra, and squeezed the nipple between her thumb and forefinger. She twisted it hard. She moaned loudly, no longer taking care. Her hips began to rise against her own fingers, with the same motion she used when riding a man above her.

“That’s it,” Heredia murmured. “No shame. Show us how much of a slut you are when they let you.”

And in that moment I understood that I had ceased to exist in that room as her husband.

I was only a witness.

And all I wanted was to keep watching.
