Female Friends

We bought the harness saying it was to practice so we could teach them. What we didn’t expect was to end up trembling against each other.

I’d been faithful to my girlfriend for eight years. It only took a pool, two bikinis, and my sister’s mischievous smile for everything to fall apart.

She took my hand on the kitchen table, looked at me hard, and said what she’d been thinking for weeks. I only managed to stand up and pace in circles.

She’d been alone in that lost village for almost a year. Then two younger friends invited her over for wine, pizza, and confessions that changed everything.

I never thought my husband’s friend would teach me something about myself in a shop fitting room. And much less that we’d invite him that same afternoon.

We always slept in the same bed and told each other everything. That night, with a little too much wine, Renata took my face and kissed me like never before.

I looked down and saw her hand resting on my thigh. We’d been friends for five years, but that night, after the second glass of vodka, everything changed in an instant.

At that hour we all seemed more beautiful, and nobody wanted to go home. Mila opened the door to her room, and none of us imagined how the night would end.

As soon as we closed the door, we came at each other urgently. Then he asked me in my ear if I could picture the two of us together, and that night changed everything.

It was eleven thirty at night when Daniela appeared in the hallway and asked me for help with the fire. I’d spent the whole afternoon thinking about what was in their bags.

When I opened the door wrapped in a towel, she came in without letting me speak. She wasn’t the guy my friend was expecting or the plan my head had imagined.

“If you stay, you stay to play,” he said, looking at my friend. I only wanted him for myself, but a dark part of me wanted to see how far she’d go.

One of them pushed me against the wall while the other knelt without saying a word; I knew right away that I wasn’t leaving that apartment in one piece.

I always fell in love; she only wanted to have fun. But that night, behind a club door, I discovered something about myself I never imagined.

I lowered the phone screen thinking we’d only chat, but what I saw in her bed that night changed everything I thought I wanted.

When I saw the truck driving away down the road, my body started beating differently. I knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as he and I were left alone in that house.

We’d been meeting for six years to do the same thing: tell each other things and touch ourselves shamelessly. That night Camila promised a surprise and opened the adjoining room door.

When the anesthetic wore off and he opened his eyes, he was already naked, handcuffed to a chair, and surrounded by four women who had spent a month waiting for that moment.

I’d always fantasized about being with another woman, but I’d never done it. That night, in her apartment, she put her hands on my hips and I knew we weren’t going to sleep.

I only knew Beatriz because she was my wife’s friend. One night she came down to the kitchen with an unexpected proposal.
