What Lucía Asked Me for on That Deserted Beach
I came out of the water shivering with cold and saw her adjusting her bikini in the sun. Neither of us knew that morning would change everything between us.
I came out of the water shivering with cold and saw her adjusting her bikini in the sun. Neither of us knew that morning would change everything between us.
The request came from a shy boy, my nephew’s friend. I took weeks to answer him and a month to admit I wanted him in my bed.
That Friday he got into the car with a suitcase and some boxes I didn’t understand. Inside wasn’t work: it was the gift that would finally let me be who I’d always been.
That afternoon we weren’t planning anything. But when he pulled his pants down in front of me, I knew I was about to try something I’d never tried before.
She showed him her phone with trembling hands. It wasn’t a message from another boy: it was a list of searches that confessed everything she’d kept hidden for years.
I’ve always had a strange fixation. That afternoon I decided my best friend would be the first to obey me, on his knees and with nothing to hide.
Carmen had planned everything: the basement showers, the nervous couples, and one rule only—no one was allowed to just watch from the outside.
I was only going to watch, that’s what I told myself as I walked into the studio. But the camera kept clicking, and before I knew it, I was naked between them.
We’d been seeing each other for six months as friends, never daring to do anything. That night, while we spun the bottle, I realized they wanted a lot more than our company.
Lying in the sun after what had just happened, we heard them laughing at him for not daring to come over. And that was exactly what made us get up.
“Be careful what you wish for,” they say. I wished for it so hard that one night, in the darkness of an empty theater, a stranger showed me what I’d been pretending not to want for years.
When she moved into the apartment across from mine, I never imagined that one afternoon, while her son slept, her hand would climb up my thigh and I’d spread my legs without thinking.
Every morning she watched her come out of the kitchen in a nightgown clinging to her body and settled for crumbs. Until the coffee grove left them alone all day.
I never thought a woman’s hands could touch me like that. When my boss offered me a massage, I had no idea she was opening a door I would never want to close.
When she took her feet in her hands and started massaging them, she knew that night, with enough wine, her uncle’s wife would end up surrendering to her.
I was soaping myself when the curtain opened and there she was, smiling, not a stitch on, determined not to leave even when I told her to.
Mariana had never kissed another woman until that night. She came home trembling with desire, never imagining her stepsister was watching her in the dark.
I could hear their laughter through the wall. I went to the half-open door and what I saw took my breath away: my two best friends, half-naked, staring at each other.
They left her standing at the altar, and she swore never to love a man again. What she didn’t know was that behind the convent walls, something very different was waiting for her.
She came to wait for my mother and ended up standing in the doorway watching me sleep. I had no idea that afternoon would end the girl who’d never been with a woman.
I had just moved in and didn’t know anyone. Bruna was the first to talk to me; I never imagined she and her partner had a plan for me that night.
It was two in the morning, the bottle was nearly empty, and she was still laughing on my sofa. I knew that was the moment I had been waiting for.
“Relax, let go,” she told me at the door, and I knew that night I was going to learn something no man had ever shown me.
I was in my forties, married, with two children, and I had never once looked at another woman. That night, leaning on the bar in a pub, everything I thought I knew about myself came undone.
She sat down across from me in a nearly empty bar, took my hands, and told me I looked sad. Three hours later I was naked in her bed, and I didn’t want to leave.
I went to get my jacket so I could leave without interrupting. Then I saw Daniela’s hand buried under Paula’s clothes, and my feet refused to move from that doorway.
She arrived on my friend’s arm, with that mouth and those full lips, and I knew right away that on my birthday she was going to be mine, even if she was another man’s girlfriend.
For months I’d felt her searching for me in the crowd during the sermon. That Sunday I decided to follow her home and find out what that look was hiding.
Marina knew exactly where to touch to make Lucía’s body stop obeying her. That night, in the hotel’s dim light, she decided to find out how far her curiosity went.
She agreed to stay the night for her favorite aunt’s birthday. She had no idea that two women had planned every caress with precision for that night.
Every night she came to that door to listen. What she never imagined was that soon she would be on the other side, utterly surrendered.
Carolina had never told anyone what she secretly wanted. That night, with the house to themselves, she decided her sister-in-law would be the first to hear it... and more.
She accepted the invitation to pay her cheating boyfriend back in kind and chose the fine-featured zombie, not imagining what she would discover when she took off the costume.
We arrived revving the bike so everyone would look. But I only had eyes for the girl in the next tent and for what we were going to share that night.
When she started crying on my shoulder and confessed that her husband no longer touched her, I knew that afternoon’s massage was going to end very differently.
Every month I crossed the street for a wax, never imagining the girl with the soft hands was waiting for the same signal I was.
Every time the girl came into her house, something ignited inside her. That afternoon, for the first time, no one else was there to interrupt them.
I met her on the excursions, exotic and self-assured. I never imagined that one comment from her by the pool would end with me naked in my husband’s room.
She’d been greeting her in the lobby for months, barely containing herself. That afternoon the grocery bags slipped from her hands and finally gave me a reason to go upstairs.
I hadn’t felt anything for months. Then she came in behind me in the stall, locked the door, and everything I thought I knew about myself came crashing down.
They shared the same class three days a week and stole glances at each other. Until one of them decided she was done pretending nothing was happening.
I’d been stuck in a cast for weeks and bored out of my mind when a TV series stirred something in me. Then she appeared in the doorway with a smile that wasn’t entirely innocent.
When she took off her sweat-soaked T-shirt in front of that girl, she knew she was no longer sweating just from the heat of the barn.
I had adored her in silence since childhood. The night before she left, she asked me to help her undress, and my hands trembled as they finally brushed her skin.
Eight years into my career, no patient had ever looked at me like that. That afternoon she put her feet up on my sofa, held my gaze, and everything I thought was solid began to tremble.
I arrived single and bored, planning to leave early. Then the lambada started, and firm hands took my waist from behind.
She had been with her boyfriend for five years and had never doubted. Until that black-eyed woman stared at her on the platform and something broke inside.
I heard her closing her suitcases on the other side of the wall and knew she would leave with the dawn. Barefoot and trembling, I crossed the hallway to the ajar door of her room.
My hands were ice-cold in the boarding lounge, but it wasn’t the weather: in a few hours I’d see her again, and I didn’t know whether I’d run to her or hide.
We’d hated each other at the office for years, but that night, with my fourth margarita in hand, her thumb brushed my bare thigh and everything changed.
Bruno had broken my heart again, but waiting for me in that house on the outskirts wasn’t him, it was his mother, wearing a dress that left nothing to the imagination.
Six years pretending nothing was happening every time they brushed against each other. That night, with the city asleep, neither of them wanted to keep pretending.
I was twenty-two and had never seen another woman naked until that afternoon in the shower, when she took off her underwear as if I weren’t watching.
I went looking for advice from the only woman I trusted, never imagining that afternoon at the country house would teach me everything my body didn’t yet know it could feel.
Renata was spreading tanning lotion over my breasts when she asked me whether I’d ever had a lover. I blushed like a little girl. I said no.
I thought I would be guiding her through her first experience, but she was the one who took control and showed me how far my body could go.
Mara covered her friend’s eyes and asked for silence. What she did next with her tongue crossed the line forever.
When she came out to the garage dressed like that, I knew I’d lose the bet. What I couldn’t imagine was how far that summer would go with her and her mother.
We’d spent months fantasizing about taking the plunge. That night, in the living room of strangers, my wife looked at me before we crossed the point of no return.
After twenty-four years of marriage, Marina whispered that she only wanted to watch. Three hours later, I was watching another man drive her out of her mind.
We went down to the sauna without swimsuits and I understood that my wife and her cousin had already talked it all over: that mountain weekend was not going to be what we’d been told.
She only set one condition: if he didn’t appeal to her, nothing would happen. What I didn’t expect was that, by the end of the night, she’d be the one leaving me alone with the other woman.
I agreed for his sake, not knowing that crossing that door would change my idea of pleasure. That night I stopped being only his.
She was naked on her boyfriend’s lap, still flushed, when she said it with a half-smile: “Since we’ve started… we could keep going.” No one expected that from her.
Two glasses of wine, his unexpected question, and me telling him about my first time with another man while he listened with an attention that soon became something more.
I never imagined a night of dominoes with two friends would end like this. When they both looked at me at the same time, I knew the air had changed.
Matías had been looking at me differently for weeks. When he finally said it out loud, the floor disappeared beneath my feet. It was forbidden.
No one spoke about what happened that week. It wasn’t necessary. The three of us knew something between us had changed forever.
The garden was dark when Marcos dragged me behind the hedges. What followed, amid champagne and bodies, was nobody’s plan.
