The Night I Explored My Most Forbidden Pleasure

It was Wednesday. I had the apartment to myself until Friday and a list of things I was supposed to do: laundry, unanswered emails, the living room plant that had been dying in its pot for weeks. But there was something else on that list, something I’d been putting off with one excuse after another for far longer than weeks.

I called it “that.” Never out loud, never by name. “That” was the persistent curiosity that always showed up at the worst times: when I was trying to sleep and the silence in the room grew too thick, when the hot shower relaxed me too much and my thoughts slipped free on their own and wandered where I hadn’t invited them. Between my legs first. Then farther back, to that other hole I pretended I didn’t have.

I’d read about it. I’d seen videos that made me squeeze my thighs together in front of the screen, chicks with two fingers sunk in their ass while they rubbed their pussies with the other hand, moaning things I mouthed silently back at them. I’d close the tab fast, as if someone might see me, and go to bed with a soaked cunt and not dare touch myself. Every time I was about to try, something stopped me. Shame, maybe. Or fear of finding out I liked getting my ass fucked more than I would have wanted to admit, even to myself.

That night I stopped making excuses.

I locked my bedroom door. I lowered the blind until only a sliver remained, letting in the orange light from the street. I sat on the edge of the bed and stayed still for a moment, listening to the apartment’s silence, checking that it was real. Nothing. Just the muffled noise of traffic and my own breathing, a little faster than usual.

—Today I’m fucking my ass —I said under my breath, as if I needed to hear it to believe it. The word sounded strange in my own voice, and I liked how it sounded.

***

I started with the shower. Not because I needed it, but because I wanted to get to this completely present, with a clear mind and a prepared body. The hot water took a few seconds to settle, and when it finally hit the perfect temperature, I stepped in and stood under the stream doing nothing for a good while, letting the steam fill the bathroom and the sound of the water cover everything else.

I let the water run down my back, slide along the curve of my lower back, reach the crease of my ass and go a little farther down. I closed my eyes. The steam made everything feel slower, more intimate. I soaped myself slowly, unhurried, paying attention to parts of my body I usually paid no mind to. My nipples went hard under my soapy palm, and when I ran my hand between my cheeks I felt the soap make my finger slip right over the hole. I stopped there. Pressed just a little. The muscle clamped shut at once, and I let out a nervous little laugh against the tile.

I slid a soapy finger into my pussy to see how I was doing. I was drenched, swollen, and when I pulled it out, the soap mixed with something thicker, more mine. I washed inside carefully, and then, with my slick fingertip, I went back and traced a slow circle around my ass. This time the muscle trembled, but it didn’t clamp down as much. I was starting to understand.

When I got out, I didn’t dry myself completely. I wrapped myself in the towel only for a moment, just long enough to get to the bed without dripping on the wooden floor. My still-damp skin prickled slightly at the cool air in the room, my nipples standing out hard beneath the fabric, and somehow that contrast was the beginning of everything.

I lay face down and put a thick pillow under my hips. Another under my head. I stayed like that for a few seconds, feeling the weight of my own body against the mattress, the slight pressure of the pillow lifting my lower back and leaving my ass raised in a posture that already said something, that was already a statement my body was making before my head had finished deciding. With my legs apart and my ass in the air, I imagined for a second how I would look from behind: my pink pussy shining with wetness, and just above it the tight little hole, waiting.

***

The lube was in the bedside drawer, where I’d put it the week before after buying it with my heart racing and hiding it under a book as if someone might find it in my own apartment. I took it out and held it for a moment in my hands. Clear, scentless, the smallest bottle they had at the pharmacy. I’d taken it without meeting the cashier’s eyes, and I’d left with my face burning, imagining he knew exactly what I was going to do with it.

I put a generous squeeze into my palm and warmed it between both hands before letting it slide down my ass crack. The sensation was immediate: cold at first, then warm, then slick in a way that had no comparison to anything I’d felt before. I lowered my hand and spread the lubricant over my hole, over the skin around it, mixing it with the wetness already running from my pussy to my perineum. Everything was slippery, everything was hot. Something in that moment made me hold my breath, made me close my eyes instinctively.

This is really happening. I’m going to fuck my ass.

With both hands I carefully spread my cheeks, feeling ridiculous for exactly half a second. Then that feeling passed. Nobody was looking at me. Nobody was judging me. It was just my body and me, my little hole gleaming with lube under that sliver of orange light at the back of the room and the silence wrapping everything up.

I blew softly over the opening. The reaction was immediate and involuntary: a small contraction, a pink little wink, a reflex I couldn’t control. My ass responding before I’d made any conscious decision, before any finger had even arrived.

—Easy —I murmured, though I wasn’t entirely sure who I was talking to, whether to myself or to that virgin little hole that was about to get its first time.

***

The first contact was only the pad of my middle finger, barely brushing the rim, tracing circles that drew closer and closer without ever quite reaching the center. It was slow in an almost maddening way, but it worked: each turn was a little smaller, a little closer to the hole, and the anticipation gathered into a tension that almost hurt. I could feel my pussy leaking onto the pillow, the empty walls contracting on their own, asking for something I wasn’t going to give them this time.

When I finally pressed against my ass, it was only the fingertip, barely a millimeter in.

It was enough to make a muffled moan slip out against the pillow.

The muscle resisted, then gave, then resisted again in that automatic, involuntary cycle it took me a couple of minutes to learn how to handle. Inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth, consciously relax the sphincter I normally never thought about relaxing. Push the finger in like I was taking a shit instead of clenching. Tighten. Let go. Tighten. Let go. Each cycle let another millimeter of the finger pass through the anus, and I stopped counting and just let my body do what it had to do.

Weird. That was the first word that came to mind when the finger reached the first knuckle. Not unpleasant, not painful, just weird. A completely new sensation, with no previous category, my own ass swallowing a finger for the first time, the sphincter closing hot and tight around the skin of my hand.

When the finger was all the way inside, to the base, I stayed still for a few seconds. Just breathing. Feeling the pressure from within, the wet heat of my own insides, the sensation of being filled through the ass in a way nothing else had ever compared to. I deliberately tightened the sphincter around the finger, and I felt it throb, felt it squeeze me, felt my own ass showing me just how tight it was.

—Good —I said, and this time I meant it.

***

I moved it slowly, curving it toward my navel, searching for the front wall of the rectum, and then yes: the spark.

It wasn’t gradual. It came without warning. It was direct, as if someone had switched on something that had been turned off all my life. A spongy, soft spot that answered the first touch with an intensity that made me grip the sheet with my free hand and suck in a sharp breath. I could feel the fingertip from inside my ass, like a little hot bump, and every brush sent a direct jolt to my clit.

—Fuck, fuck, fuck —I said out loud, completely alone in my apartment, at 11:15 on a Wednesday night in autumn, with one finger buried all the way in my ass and my pussy soaking the pillow.

I didn’t move for a moment. I just pressed. Barely. Feeling that spongy spot from the wrong side, that place I technically knew existed but had never found from this side. Every tiny movement of the finger sent something upward, toward the base of my spine, toward some exact nameless place I recognized without hesitation the moment I got there. I rubbed it with my fingertip, in tiny circles, and felt my pussy clench at nothing, felt a thread of slick slide down my thigh.

Here. It was here all this time. In my fucking ass.

***

With my other hand I started touching my pussy, but differently from how I usually did. Slower, more attentive to everything, coordinating the rhythm of both hands. Two fingers between my labia, sliding over my swollen clit, while the finger in back kept massaging that secret spot. When the finger in my ass pushed in, the fingers on my pussy squeezed my clit. When it came out, they eased off. It took a while to get the timing right, but when it did, it was as if my whole body answered to one single impulse.

I shoved two fingers into my pussy at once and let out a rough moan against the pillow. The sensation was new: I could feel the finger of my other hand through the wall, I could feel my own fingers brushing against each other from two different holes, separated only by that thin strip of flesh. I had never been so full. I had never felt so much my own.

The sounds I made were no longer voluntary. I moaned into the pillow, panted, muttered broken words —ass, cunt, more, fuck —that came out on their own and that the empty apartment swallowed without judgment.

The sensation kept building in a way completely different from usual. It wasn’t the same familiar path of the clit I could travel almost without paying attention. It was something slower, built from lower down, from the very bottom of my ass, and that difference made it more intense, not less. I pulled my fingers out of my pussy dripping wet and took them to my hole to add my own slick to the lube, then went back, and back again, and so on, coating myself all over.

I pulled the finger out of my ass and added more lube. I slid in a second finger, both of them pressed together, pushing slowly.

The stretch was intense, right on the edge between pain and something that wasn’t exactly pleasure but wanted more. The sphincter gave a millimeter at a time, burning a little, opening to accommodate the double thickness. I breathed hard through my nose and waited, with both fingers halfway in, until the tension finally let go and I felt my ass swallow them with a wet pull. What remained was something fuller, more present, more mine than anything I’d ever felt before: two fingers buried to the base in my own ass, and two more soaked in my pussy.

I moved them with the smallest opening, scissoring them, feeling the whole sphincter stretch with those tiny internal motions. I started pumping, pulling them out to the fingertip and pushing them back in to the knuckle, fucking my ass with my own hand in a rhythm that kept getting faster. It was too much to ignore. It was too much not to understand why people went after this, claimed it, repeated it, why there were chicks begging for a cock in the hole.

***

The other hand sped up without me consciously deciding it. There was no coordination or technique left, only instinct driving both hands to the same place at the same time, the fingers in my pussy rubbing my clit with almost violent speed, the fingers in my ass pumping deep, hitting that spot again and again.

I lifted my hips against the pillow, fucking myself through both holes, ass high in the air and my face smashed into the mattress to muffle my moans. I could feel something forming in my belly, something denser and bigger than any orgasm I’d ever had before.

I felt it differently long before it truly arrived. It started very low, in the ass itself, in that ring contracting furiously around my fingers, and rose like a shiver that wasn’t pleasure yet but had all the structure of what it was going to become. It climbed slowly, through the vertebrae, through the muscles of my back, until it reached my shoulders. My hips moved on their own against the pillow, grinding my clit, searching for something that was already there.

—Wait, wait —I said, though there was no one to ask.

I didn’t wait.

***

When it came, it wasn’t like the ones I knew. It wasn’t that quick, bright peak of the clit, that short, clear wave I knew how to manage. It was something that spread out, that lasted longer, that made me clamp my fingers hard against a sphincter contracting around them with a force I couldn’t control. My ass throbbed, squeezing and releasing both fingers in waves, while my pussy did the same, empty but contracting on its own, expelling spurts of hot fluid that soaked the pillow beneath my hips.

My hips jerked, my legs tightened, and the sounds that came out of my throat were not ones I recognized as mine. I screamed into the pillow, bit the pillowcase, and came for what felt like full minutes, with my fingers buried in both holes, feeling pleasure rise from my ass to my head in wave after wave that didn’t end.

I didn’t pull anything out all at once. I knew that instinctively, without having learned it before: when it was over, or when I thought it was over, there were residual contractions that lasted another long minute, and each one kept sending small jolts upward. The sphincter squeezed my fingers rhythmically, as if it didn’t want to let them go. I kept my fingers in my pussy still, feeling the walls keep pulsing around them. I withdrew the fingers from my ass very slowly, feeling every millimeter on the way out, the soft wet pop when the sphincter finally gave way, and I stayed still face down with my lungs still trying to find their normal rhythm and my little hole open, throbbing to the air.

The apartment was silent. The sliver of orange light was still in the same place. Outside, the street traffic kept going exactly as it had before anything happened.

I rolled onto my side. I curled up with my knees to my chest, trembling a little even though I wasn’t cold, my ass still hot and my pussy dripping between my thighs.

Good. That was all. Just that word, in silence, to myself alone.

***

I stayed like that for a good while before getting up to wash my hands in the bathroom and drink water straight from the tap. I looked at myself in the mirror over the sink. My cheeks were red, my hair stuck to my forehead with sweat, my lips swollen from biting them, and I had an expression I hadn’t seen on my face very often.

It wasn’t shame. It wasn’t regret.

It was something like having arrived somewhere after a long time walking without exactly knowing where I was going.

I went back to bed, avoiding the wet stain on the pillow. I turned off the lamp. I listened to the apartment’s silence and the street in the background, and I smiled in the dark, with nobody seeing me smile, tightening my still-sensitive sphincter just to feel it again.

The laundry could wait until Thursday. The emails could too. That night I fucked my ass for the first time, crossed a boundary I’d been putting off for months, and on the other side there were none of the fears I’d invented. Only that new pleasure, still nameless, already completely mine whenever I wanted to claim it.
