The Coffee Shop Customer Set Me Up That Night With Her Husband

It was my first formal job. I had turned eighteen just a few months earlier and the paperwork to get hired had driven me crazy, but in the end I got a job as a waitress at a café in my neighborhood. A big place, with a pastry case and a regular clientele that always ordered the same thing, almost without looking at the menu.

During the weeks I’d been there, one customer had caught my attention. A young woman, or so she seemed, with chestnut hair down to mid-back and loose dresses that changed color every day. She spoke with the calm courtesy of someone who had all the time in the world. And she had a way of looking at me that left me speechless halfway through a sentence.

She came every afternoon at the same time. Always alone. I was the one who usually served her. She ordered a latte with two sugars and settled at the corner table by the window with a book or her laptop. But more than read or work, she watched me.

At first I thought I was just imagining things to make the shift feel shorter. Then I stopped thinking that. Every time I passed with the tray, her eyes followed me. When I brought her coffee, she smiled at me with a calm that unsettled something inside me. It was as if she knew something about me that I hadn’t yet discovered.

One Thursday she arrived later than usual. I had just started my half-hour break. I heated up the food I’d brought from home and sat at a table in the back with my headphones on. I was lost in my phone when I felt a presence beside me. I looked up. There she was, with a book tucked under her arm and a cup in her hand.

—Do you mind if I sit? —she asked.

I took off one earbud and gestured to the chair across from me. She sat down slowly, set her things on the table, and rested her hands underneath it, out of my sight. The window light hit her temple and made the little earrings I’d never noticed before gleam.

—What’s your name? —she said.

—Camila. Nice to meet you.

—Mariana. Likewise.

She held out her right hand. I was a little surprised, because I had always seen her write with her left hand at her table, but I didn’t dwell on it. Her handshake was firm and brief.

She started asking me questions. How long I’d been at the café, whether I studied anything, whether I had days off, whether I lived nearby. Then the questions changed tone. Whether I was alone, whether I liked women, exactly how old I was. They were direct, but her voice stayed just as soft. They didn’t make me uncomfortable; they intrigued me.

—I’m eighteen —I told her.

—I’m practically twice your age.

I didn’t believe her. She took out her ID from her bag and turned it toward me. Nineteen seventy-eight. Forty-seven years old. She had youth hidden somewhere you couldn’t see it.

—And why are you asking me all this, Mariana?

—Because I think you’re gorgeous. I wanted to invite you out sometime. Get to know each other a little, if you’re interested.

I rested my elbows on the table and leaned forward a little.

—Do you want to fuck me? —I said, not lowering my gaze—. Better to say it, don’t you think?

She went silent for a second. Surprise flashed across her eyes like a shadow.

—I’m sorry —she said then, in a lower voice—. It’s the first time I’ve done this with someone so young and I didn’t know how to bring it up. Yes, I want to fuck you. But…

—But what?

—I don’t want to fuck you myself.

I looked at her, not understanding.

—I want him to fuck you —she added, turning her head slightly to the side.

—Excuse me?

—My husband.

Her hands came back into view on the table. On the ring finger of her left hand she wore a discreet ring I had never seen because she always hid it under the tablecloth. I slowly turned my head toward where she had looked. At a table in the back, a man of about fifty, dressed in dark clothes, was watching us without smiling. He held my gaze once he realized he’d been noticed, and I gave it back to him, stunned.

—You’re married? —I asked, almost in a whisper.

—We’ve been doing this with women my age for many years. You’d be the youngest one he’s ever fucked.

—So you want a threesome?

—No. I want him to fuck you. I just watch.

Something in the café seemed to stop. I thought about my coworkers, about whether this was a joke, about whether there was a hidden camera somewhere. But no one was laughing. The café was still the same, with the hum of the espresso machine, the crunch of the grinder, a customer ordering a croissant at the counter.

My phone alarm pulled me back to the world: my break was ending.

—What time do you get off? —Mariana asked.

—At seven.

She took a napkin, pulled a pen from her bag, and wrote down a number.

—If you’re interested, call me and I’ll come pick you up in the car. We’ll talk more calmly. Nice meeting you, Camila.

She stood, gathered her things, and left. The man in the back got up thirty seconds later and followed her.

***

The rest of the shift was a haze. I served coffees on autopilot and went back to the napkin every five minutes, as if the number might disappear if I stopped looking at it. What if it was a scam? What if they hurt me? I was scared, but I felt something else too: a wet curiosity that was already squeezing between my legs every time I remembered the guy’s face in the back. I imagined that man’s dick, thick, hard, and I’d lose my breath in the middle of an order.

Half an hour before closing, I hid in the staff room and dialed. She answered on the second ring. We agreed to meet on a corner, a block from the café. Before leaving, I sent my location to Sofía, my childhood best friend. She’d worry, as always, but at least someone would know where I was.

The car was black, understated, with slightly tinted windows. The passenger door unlocked when I approached. I got in. Mariana was behind the wheel, but she wasn’t wearing her usual outfit. A fitted, low-cut blouse, a short skirt, and red heels that looked uncomfortable. She was made up differently too, heavier on the eyes. She smelled different as well.

—I’m glad you came —she said, and kissed me on the cheek. Accepting it settled something in me.

—Good evening —said a voice from the back seat. I jumped a little despite myself.

—This is Esteban. My husband.

I turned around. The café face now had a name. He extended his hand over the headrest. Firm. I didn’t shy away. I looked at the bulge in his dark pants without hiding it, and he noticed. He smiled faintly.

While Mariana drove, they told me just enough. Thirteen years married. Five years doing this. It had been her idea, first as a private fantasy, then as something they practiced with willing women. Clear rules: if at any moment I said stop, they stopped. No anger. No consequences. That last sentence made me breathe again.

***

The building was fifteen minutes away. The apartment was spacious, with a big sofa and a single armchair, and a light rug that looked new. Esteban opened a bottle of red wine and poured three glasses. I sat on the big sofa, he sat beside me. Mariana sat in the single armchair, facing us.

We talked for a while. Esteban’s voice was low, calm. He didn’t ask me any uncomfortable questions. The wine went down fast. I felt the heat at the back of my neck first, and then lower, between my thighs, a warm pulse that dampened my panties. When he put his arm behind the backrest, I didn’t move away. On the contrary, I opened my legs a little without realizing it.

He started with my neck. His hot mouth, his breath sticking to my collarbone, his tongue barely scraping the skin under my ear. A sigh escaped me. His hands moved slowly, measuring me, giving me time to stop if I wanted to. I didn’t want to. His hand slid up my thigh, over the jeans, and stayed there, pressing lightly, until it went all the way up and squeezed over the fabric right where I was already throbbing. A gasp slipped out of me.

Mariana, in front of us, didn’t move. She had her legs crossed and her glass resting on her knee, and she watched us with a calm, focused intensity, no urgency. Her eyes weren’t angry. They were hungry. She ran the tip of her tongue over her upper lip and left her mouth slightly open.

Esteban turned my face with two fingers and put his tongue in my mouth without asking. A heavy, adult kiss, from a man who knows what he wants. I gave him everything back, sucking his tongue, biting his lower lip. His hand squeezed my breast over my T-shirt and pinched my nipple with his fingertips, and I could feel it hardening under the fabric. His other hand had already undone the button on my jeans and was slowly pulling down the zipper.

—Shall we go to the bedroom? —he said after a while I couldn’t measure.

***

The room had a wide bed and a high-backed chair in one corner. She sat there, crossing her legs again. Esteban took my T-shirt off slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. He unclasped my bra and stared for a second before touching me. He took my tits in both hands, weighing them, and lowered his mouth to one nipple. He sucked it hard, tugging, while his fingers pinched the other. I tipped my head back and moaned.

—So pretty —Mariana said from the chair—. Suck them well, baby.

I looked at her. I smiled without meaning to. My jeans fell to the floor, then my panties. Esteban knelt in front of me and spread my thighs with both hands. He looked at my pussy up close, unhurried, as if taking his time before eating. He ran two fingers through my slit from bottom to top and lifted them, shiny.

—She’s soaking —he told Mariana, turning his head.

—Eat her out whole —she answered, and settled into the chair with one leg over the armrest. Her skirt rode all the way up. She wasn’t wearing any underwear underneath. I didn’t know whether she had never worn any or whether she had taken them off at some point I hadn’t seen. She had a shaved cunt, pink lips already glossy with wetness. She ran two fingers over her clit, in slow circles, never taking her eyes off us.

Esteban buried his face between my legs. His tongue swept me all the way from bottom to top and stopped on my clit. He stayed there, sucking it, circling it with the tip, taking it between my lips and letting it go. I arched, braced back against the mattress. He slid two fingers in and curled them upward, still sucking. A cry escaped me.

—That’s it, Camila, moan for my husband, come on —Mariana said, her voice thick. Her hand moved up and down over her pussy, unhurried.

I lifted my head to look at her and found that she had brought two fingers to her mouth and was sucking them. Then she lowered them and shoved them into herself. She pulled them out and pushed them back in, mouth open. Seeing her like that set me on fire inside. I drove my pelvis harder against Esteban’s face, searching for it, and came in his mouth with a long shudder, grabbing his hair with both hands, never taking my eyes off her.

Esteban pulled back, his chin shining, and licked his lips. He took off his pants and boxer briefs and settled on the edge of the bed. His cock stood hard against his stomach, thick, with a purple head and a vein running along the side. I knelt between his legs. I took it in my hand, weighed it, felt it throb. I licked it first from base to tip, very slowly, looking him in the eyes. Then I ran my tongue over his balls, one and then the other, and sucked them into my mouth. He was breathing heavily.

I took him in all the way. At first I choked, because he was thick and I couldn’t reach the end. I lowered my mouth as far as I could and brought it back up slowly, letting the saliva drip. With my hand I followed what my mouth couldn’t cover. He took my hair, not to force me, but to set the rhythm. I closed my eyes for a second and opened them to look at her again. It was the rule, I sensed it, before they said it out loud. Mariana had opened her blouse all the way. She had two fingers buried in her pussy and the other hand pinching her nipple. She wasn’t saying anything. She was just watching, mouth open.

—Suck it well, baby —she whispered—. Look how hard he gets.

I sucked his cock harder, pulling my saliva from my mouth with a wet sound. I took it all the way out and ran my tongue around the head in circles, then took him back in until my eyes filled with tears. He growled. After a few minutes he pulled me away with a firm hand. He wanted to feel me from the inside, he said. I sat on the bed. When I looked up, Mariana was standing off to one side, blouse open and skirt rolled up around her waist. She was holding a condom in her hand. Esteban walked toward her, gave her a long, unhurried kiss, and took the condom from her fingers.

He came back to me, opened it, put it on. I got on my hands and knees, offered without saying it, ass lifted toward him. He positioned himself behind me, ran the tip through my slit from top to bottom, wetting it, and drove into me all at once. I screamed against the sheets. He was thick, he filled me completely, I could feel myself opening around him as he pushed in. The first time he went in slowly, almost measuring me. He came back out almost all the way and thrust back in, all the way to the hilt. Then he found the rhythm. The bed started moving with marked thrusts and I let my face fall against the sheets, turning my head so I wouldn’t lose sight of her, because she had sat back down.

—That’s it, baby —Mariana said, almost in a whisper—. Fuck her hard.

Esteban grabbed my hips with both hands and started driving into me with hard, dry thrusts that shook my whole body. He slapped my ass. Then again. My skin burned. The sound of his balls slapping against my pussy filled the room. I moaned softly at first, then stopped trying to keep it down and really screamed.

—Like that, like that, harder —I begged him, and realized my voice wasn’t trembling.

He put his fingers in my mouth from behind and I sucked them, salty. He pulled them out and touched my clit with those same fingers while he kept fucking me. I felt myself about to come again. He pressed my ass with the flat of his palm and spread my cheeks to watch himself go in and out. Then he buried his thumb in my asshole, without asking permission, just the tip. I howled.

—Look at her, Esteban —Mariana said, breathless, her voice thick—. She loves it.

We changed positions. Esteban lay on his back and I sat on top, but turned, facing Mariana. It was the rule, now it was confirmed: eye contact with her most of the time. I gave her exactly what she was waiting for. I lowered myself slowly onto his cock until I took him all the way in, felt him drive into me to the hilt, and started moving hard, with rage and filth at the same time, my hands on his thighs and my eyes locked on her. I bounced on his hips, lifted myself almost to the tip, and dropped back down hard. I could feel his cock slamming deep inside me with every descent.

Mariana was smiling with that complicit smile. One hand between her legs, the other roaming over her breasts above the open bra. Her nipples had gone hard, dark. She pinched one and then the other. The fingers of her other hand went in and out of her pussy with the clear wet sound reaching me.

—Ride his cock, Camila —she said, her voice breaking—. Like that, don’t stop.

The image drove me to move faster. I wanted her to keep watching. I wanted to give her exactly what she had come to find. Esteban took my tits from behind, squeezing them, pinching my nipples in time with my bouncing. I stuck two fingers in my mouth, got them thoroughly wet, and touched my clit with my other hand, never stopping my movement. His cock filled me, stretched me, made me feel as if I were going to split open inside.

I asked to change again. I lay on my back with my head at the edge of the mattress, so I could see her upside down but still see her. Esteban brought my legs together, rested them against his torso, lifted my ass by gripping my thighs, and thrust into me with less patience. The position tightened my pussy around his cock and each thrust reached me deeper. He kissed my calves, sucked my toes. I moaned with desperation, cursing under my breath.

—Fuck me harder, harder, don’t stop.

When I came, I arched my back and clenched my fingers on his hand. A sustained explosion, long, leaving me vibrating, my legs trembling out of control and my pussy tightening around his cock in waves.

Mariana got up from the chair and sat beside me on the bed. She ran two fingers over my stomach, up to my face, and stroked my cheek. Her fingers were shiny, wet. She passed them over my lips and I opened my mouth and sucked them. They tasted like her. Salty, a little sweet.

—Do you like my husband’s cock? —she said, almost in a whisper.

I nodded, because I couldn’t speak.

—Say it.

—I love it —I managed—. He’s splitting me wide open.

—Do you like the girl I brought you, baby? —she asked him.

—I love her —Esteban said, without stopping—. This girl is delicious. I want to fuck her all night.

—Fuck her —she said—. Give it to her with everything you’ve got. Fill her up inside.

They kissed. Over me, while he kept moving inside me. They kissed with tongues, noisily, and Mariana bit his lower lip. It was a scene I couldn’t fully process and at the same time it stirred up a heat that was about to come back. She lowered her mouth and sucked one of my nipples without stopping kissing him on the mouth. I felt her warm tongue tugging at my nipple, and his cock slamming my depths, and I didn’t know where one thing ended and the other began.

—I’m going to come —he warned, his voice cracking.

He let go of my legs, leaned over me, kissed my breasts, then my neck. He sped up his thrusts, short and angry, slapping skin against skin. Mariana, beside us, had sped up her hand on herself. I heard her moan for the first time, a low, long sound. Esteban gave his last thrusts with a tight growl, burying himself to the hilt, and went still, emptying himself into the condom, inside me. I felt the contractions of his cock pulsing and throbbing, and I came again without realizing it, silently, my hand clenched in the sheet, my pussy squeezing him as if it wanted to wring out the very last drop.

Mariana collapsed backward, in an orgasm that made her arch and let a stream of liquid spill onto the sheets. Some of it splashed my ankles. It was the first time I had seen anything like that up close. I thought it was beautiful and strange, like almost everything that had happened that night.

***

She lay down beside me. Esteban withdrew from me slowly and took off the condom, full and heavy, and left it tied off on the floor. He lay down on the other side. I ended up between the two of them, staring at the ceiling, laughing despite myself. A laugh of release, not discomfort. They laughed too. They stroked my shoulders and cheeks in silence. Mariana ran a hand over my stomach, down to my pussy, and stroked me slowly with two fingers, without any pretense, like someone soothing me. There was nothing to say.

I showered in their huge bathroom. When I came out, a taxi was waiting downstairs. Esteban opened the apartment door for me. Mariana accompanied me to the elevator, barefoot, still with her skirt open over her hip.

—Whenever you want, come back —she said, combing my wet hair with her fingers.

I stole a quick kiss from her, without thinking, before getting into the elevator. She stayed there in the landing, smiling.

The next day I went into my shift as if nothing had happened. Mariana didn’t come. Nor the day after. She came back three days later, with her usual latte and her book. She waited for me at her corner table and shared my break again. We didn’t talk about what had happened. We did look at each other, though, with a new complicity.

Three weeks later a second encounter took place. But that, really, is another story.
