When looking at Matthew's narrative of Jesus' crucifixion, one verse piqued my interest. While Pontius Pilate was debating whether to crucify Jesus (as the people wanted) or not, his wife comes to him and says. "While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”" ~ Matthew 27:19 I started thinking about what that dream might have looked like, keeping in mind "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
I'll put the story here but I'd really appreciate it if you clicked on the link!
Claudia Minervina tossed and turned all night. Her body tensing, her fists tightened until her nails drew blood from her palms.
She watched her son scream in pain while being whipped by Roman soldiers. 40 times, holding back 1 for mercy. She cried out and pushed against the wall of Roman soldiers blocking her from her beloved son.
Latens, now nearly 19, had not once been seen by the public. His mind still 10 years younger than his body. Supposed to be her greatest shame: that from her womb she created a lesser, an invalid; instead, she loved and cared for her beautiful boy anyway.
After every strike he bit into his lips until blood flowed from his mouth. Minervina clawed at the Roman soldiers before her, trying to reach her beloved. A glow shined from his head; a crown made of light lay there.
Minervina trembled in fear, her bones aching for her Latens. Her breath shook and slowed till she could no longer breathe. The one thing she could ever truly care for, the kindest man she ever knew, the son who she rejoiced with at all times was being treated like a criminal. The wall of soldiers shoved her to the ground, where she lay unable to take in a breath. As her mind grew thinner, a voice echoed.
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you do unto the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you do unto me.’
She woke up with a shudder and quickly ran into Pontius Latens’ room, and hugged him with tears flowing from her eyes in the windowless room.
The next morning, she saw her husband on the balcony, with 2 prisoners before him. One, the notorious prisoner Jesus Barabbas, and the other sat quietly with a tear leaving his eye. Adorned on his head was a golden crown made of light.
She ran to her husband and put her hands on his shoulders, leaving blood stains on them, and whispered into his ear,
“Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”

THE MASSAGE TABLE
"Good morning, Ricky", Jessica said from the front desk without looking up. She was going through the day's agenda at Surf Winds Spa.
"Good morning," I replied, walking in with my backpack on one shoulder, heading towards the staff room.
"You have a 9am today, a couple's massage," she said, while keeping her gaze on the computer screen in front of her.
"Got it," I replied. I guess I appreciated the reminder, but I already knew that.
I had been working as a massage therapist at Surf Winds for just under two years after moving to Long Beach around the same time. This was my fifth city in 10 years. While I liked it, I was starting to feel the itch to try something new again. Perhaps after my 40th birthday I'd venture somewhere else, which was approaching quickly.
I've always been a nomad of sorts. I've had relationships, but mostly surface-level. To be honest, I'm not interested in settling down quite yet. Not that I have anyone to settle down with in the first place. I don't have much luck with women. I'm quite average looking at 5'9 and 155 lbs and don't really get a lot of attention unless I am actually putting in the effort. Even then, I find that my taste in women doesn't quite match their taste in me. Let's just say that I tend to be into women who are out of my league or unavailable.
Aside from that, lately I've been a bit distracted. My coworker, Reed, was telling me how he had started "edging" as a way to promote a strong mind-body connection. He's into all that hippy stuff, which I usually ignore. This time, though, I was intrigued. He explained how it worked, so I decided to give it a shot myself. Today marks 24 days since the last time I fully released while jerking off. I've gotten close some times, but somehow managed to hold back.
"Hey man, what's up?" Reed said. He was in the employee room at the table going through Instagram on his phone. "I think we're doing the couple's session today," he added.
"Oh, I thought I was with Alison," I replied.
It's pretty typical that Surf Winds assigns a male and female massage therapist for couples' massages just in case there is a preference. From experience, usually men want their wives to get a massage from another woman rather than a man.
"Yeah, she was, but they called me in last minute. She's sick, and there wasn't anyone else available," he explained. "Hopefully it's not a problem for them."
"Guess we'll see," I said, dropping my backpack on the ground and grabbing a seat at the table.
"What day is it for you?" Reed asked with a cheeky smile.
"24, you?" I replied.
"Four," he answered, with a bit of disappointment on his face. "I lost that mind-body connection before the weekend and had to start back at zero," he explained.
"Not going to lie, I'm thinking about starting over myself," I added. "I can't focus on anything. If I just see a woman in yoga pants, I end up getting a raging hard-on."
Reed laughed, "You'll get better, man, don't worry. Think about how empowering it is that you have this kind of control over your strongest impulses."
I just nodded with a sheepish smile. Reed was always getting semi-spiritual with things. I guess he was right, but holy fuck was I horny. But I enjoyed it. I felt powerful, like Reed was saying, but in a different way.
My body was responding to stimuli like it did when I was in my 20s. That was fun. I also found that my brain would fixate on visuals a lot more intently. Like, straight-up tunnel vision with such focus and clarity like I had never experienced.
For example, just yesterday I was at a cafe just drinking a coffee while on my phone when I noticed a girl, about 25 years old, sitting in front of me. She was wearing tight yoga pants, and my eyes immediately locked in on her ass. The way her butt cheeks pushed up slightly from the chair.
I noticed the faint outline of the top of her thong, and the way her left butt cheek would squish ever so slightly as she shifted her weight to cross her leg. I studied her ass for damn near 15 minutes, with a complete hard-on below my own table. Like, my cock was absolutely throbbing. When I looked down at my gym shorts, I saw a small wet spot of pre-cum. I couldn't help but just laugh. It was so innocent, yet it drove my body completely wild.
She sort of caught me staring when she got up because I followed her ass from the chair upwards. She probably has no idea how her ass does a little jiggle from left to right when she stands. When she looked my way, I had to quickly dart my eyes somewhere else. I think she knew I was looking, but she just moved on. I'm sure it wasn't the first time she's caught a guy staring at her.
I've been replaying that in my mind. So much so, when I got back home I edged for 30 minutes, slowly stroking my shaft but stopping before the head because any more stimulation and I would have popped.
My train of thought was interrupted by the jingle of the bell on the door. I didn't even realize that I drifted into this daydream. Reed wasn't in the room, and my dick was hard in my massage therapist scrubs.
"Damnit," I said to myself with a big sigh. I started to think about snow. Cold snow. Blizzards. Doing that seemed to do the trick on settling my dick down. It was time to get to work, so I needed to get this under control. About 90 seconds later, I was good to go. I stood up and walked out to meet the couple.
"And this is Ricky," Jessica said, signaling with her hand to come over. "He'll also be working with Reed."
Reed was already standing politely in front of the couple. They were probably in their early 30s, not too much younger than myself.
"Hi, I'm Nate. This is my wife, Carmen."
"Pleasure to meet you both," I said with a warm smile, and my hands crossed in front of my body.
Nate was a little shorter than me. He was in decent shape, like a former athlete. He had moderately pale skin, blue eyes, and dark brown hair, which made him interesting to look at.
Carmen looked like she was Latina. She was probably 5'3, and 115 lbs. She had straight black hair that came down just below her shoulders. She didn't appear to be large-chested, but I did notice that her ass had a really great shape. In fact, it looked a little big for her frame, as she was quite slender. Not overly big by any means, but compared to her figure, it stood out.
I shook my head quickly as I felt myself staring a little too long.
"So, I must apologize, we normally have a male and female massage therapist on staff," Jessica said to Nate and Carmen. "But Alison is out sick. If you'd prefer to reschedule, then we can do so, and we'll give you an extra 15 minutes for free for the inconvenience."
Nate looked a little annoyed but didn't say anything. Carmen looked at Nate, not sure what to do.
"Ummm... can we talk for a moment?" Nate finally said.
"Oh sure, absolutely," Jessica responded.
Nate and Carmen stepped outside the front door to discuss things, as I caught myself looking at Carmen's ass on the way out. She was wearing black leggings, and her ass really had a great lift and bounce with each step that she took. The faintest of jiggles, something I wouldn't have noticed before starting this whole edging thing, thanks to Reed. I started to feel my dick start to swell a bit.
"Oh shit," I thought to myself, and began to think again about snow falling.
I've always been a consummate professional at my job. I take it very seriously, and this edging thing really was doing a number on me. I made a promise to myself: during lunch I would go home to jerk off. I simply couldn't have this impact my job performance. Besides, 24 days was more than enough. At this point, I'm losing control.
"I hope they decide to do it so my trip into work today is worth it," Reed whispered to Jessica and me. I didn't blame him. It's annoying to come in this early just to have to go back home.
The bell jingled on the door as Nate and Carmen entered.
"We'll have the massages now," Nate said with a relaxed smile.
"Great," Jessica replied. "Reed and Ricky will escort you to your shared room. You'll be together for the massage."
My heart suddenly sank. There was absolutely no way I would be able to control my dick if I was giving Carmen her massage. I needed to have Nate as my client so that I could maintain my composure. I then could go home on my lunch break to jerk off before coming back for my other client.
"Nate, you're with me," Reed said as he opened the door. "Far table."
I felt a pit in my stomach. Nate looked over at me with a shit-eating grin on his face. That fucker knew exactly what he was doing. I felt my heart begin to race as little beads of sweat formed along my temples. I was panicking.
"We'll wait out there while you get ready, just get under the blankets," Reed instructed, and he shut the door.
"Dude, what the fuck are you doing!?" I asked, the panic very visible on my face.
"Mind-body control, man. You've got this."
"The hell I do!" I snapped back.
Reed didn't say anything else. He just smiled back at me and leaned up against the wall, looking at his watch.
"Okay, it's go time," he said as he gave a little knock on the door and slowly opened it.
I followed Reed in and stopped at the first table. The room itself isn't that large. Maybe 20 ft by 20 ft with two tables running parallel. Between the tables was a transparent, white silk sheet. It was almost like a bug net. You could see right through it, but when pulled closed, it helped the two therapists stay out of each other's way.
Reed grabbed one end and pulled it to the wall. There was relaxing, ethereal music playing. The room had a very faint glow from the floor lamps in the corner.
I looked in front of me, and Carmen was lying on the table under the sheets. Her bare back glowed with the sultry light of the room. The white sheet was pulled up to her lower middle back.
"Hi Carmen, is there any area where you'd like me to focus on?" I asked, as is customary.
"No, not really. Well, perhaps lower back a bit, as I tweaked it when working out the other day," she replied.
"Okay. If at any point the pressure is too much or too little, just let me know."
I went over and got oil on my hands and stood up by Carmen's head. I rubbed the oil between my hands and then slowly moved my hands along her back all the way down to her hips. The second I did, I felt my dick twitch.
"Please, no..." I begged to myself in my head.
I did the movement again, pushing my hands a little more firmly into her back. My hands glided down her silky smooth back until I got to the part of her back where her ass starts. I circled my hands out to her hips, pressing firmly, and dragged them back up.
No underwear. She wasn't wearing any underwear. Some women do when getting a massage. In fact, I'd say about 70% do. Fuck me, how would I survive this?
I started focusing on Carmen's upper back, going through my usual routine on each side, trying to buy myself time before the lower body. I was standing off to the right side of the table, focusing on her upper right shoulder and lat.
As I did this, I couldn't help but look down at her plump ass under the sheets, knowing that it was bare. Knowing that a slight tug would reveal it all. I could just "accidentally" move the sheet down a little using my hip against the side of the table.
The moment the thought went through my head, I was already making it happen. It's like my cock needed this, and I was a servant to it. I pressed my outside thigh against the table where the sheet was draped, and as I dragged my hands down Carmen's right lat, I pushed my hips back a little bit to tug the sheet. I brought my hands back up to Carmen's right shoulder and worked the muscles.
"mmmm," Carmen let out a big, relaxing sigh.
I was afraid to look, my heart was racing, and my dick was half-swollen in anticipation. I glanced down, and sure enough, the right side of the sheet had pulled down four inches, revealing the top inch or two of Carmen's ass crack and the upper meat of her right ass cheek.
My cock filled up so quickly. Before I knew it, it was pressing uncomfortably in my underwear in my scrubs. I moved my hands, but I stared at her ass, studying the curve of it, and imagined my cock resting along her ass crack. Fuck, her ass crack. It was teasing me the way it barely was visible outside the sheet. Her olive-colored skin looked so sexy in the soft light of the room.
I glanced at the clock. I needed to move to the lower body in the next minute to stay on time. My heart fluttered more as the blood rushed to my dick. I could feel my heartbeat in the head of it.
I walked over to get more massage oil. It was time for lower back and glutes. Normally, I have no issues keeping everything professional. I've seen hundreds of bodies. But this was different. I've been edging for 24 days straight, fixated on asses. And here, I had a bare ass right in front of me. A sexy Latina and her plump, bouncy, yet firm ass, teasing my cock.
I placed my hands at the small of Carmen's back and slowly ran the palms of my hands outward, putting pressure on her hips. I did this a few times, intently staring at how her ass shifted with the pressure of my hands. After a few passes, it was time to move lower.
"Get it together, Ricky," I said to myself. "You've done this countless of times."
I took a moment to gently fold the sheet down. I usually only fold the top quarter to access the hips and sacrum more easily. But something changed this time. Something took over me. This time, a dirty thought came into my mind. With my cock now raging in my pants, I folded it once like I always do. Then, I made a crease and folded it over again. My heart was pounding. I had just moved the sheet to below the middle of her ass. I couldn't help it.
I stepped back and stared at the globes of Carmen's ass staring at me. Her sexy lower back led into this glorious ass. I ran my eyes up and down her ass crack before reaching out my hands, gently along her back. I ran my hands along her hips again, but came lower. When I did, I squished her ass cheeks together. Moving up into two mounds.
Fuck, my cock wanted to be right between her cheeks. It was throbbing inside my pants.
I had to do something about this, but I needed to be discreet. I began to create small circles with my thumb along Carmen's waistline with just my left hand, moving it above her waist, then down and squishing into the upper part of her ass. Reaching into my pants with my free right hand, I firmly gripped my cock. It felt almost euphoric. I began stroking just my shaft slowly.
"What in the fuck am I doing?" I thought to myself, but I didn't stop. The circles I was making with my thumb became larger. I pressed firmly onto her muscles. Carmen sighed again, relaxing in the moment. Unaware of the way her ass was driving me out of control.
I took the palm of my hand and pressed into her left ass cheek at the sit bones and slowly moved up, stroking myself at the same time, slowly, so no one would be aware. I did this several times, and then switched my hands so that my left hand was in my pants, and the right heel of my palm was pushing her right ass cheek up now in a slowly.
I continued to stroke as I moved the heel of my palm up and down Carmen's ass cheeks, ever so slowly, switching hands every two times.
That's when I felt my balls tighten.
"Fuck, I went too far," I thought to myself. But I kept slowly stroking for two more pumps before quickly taking my hand out of my pants.
There was no stopping it.
I felt the orgasm build deep in my balls and then crawl its way up my shaft. I didn't know what to do with my hands, so I put them on Carmen's ass and slowly pushed down, feeling her ass squish under them.
The orgasm went quicker now up my shaft and was running under the base of my cock to my prick until my entire head felt like complete ecstasy. At that moment, everywhere from my thighs up to my pelvis felt weak. I pushed my hands firmly into the middle of Carmen's ass cheeks and slowly moved them outward. I stared at her crack as it suddenly spread every so slightly, revealing her cute, tiny pucker as my hands continued to move outward to her hips.
Her ass cheeks. Her pucker... they made me fucking lose it. I began cumming uncontrollably into my pants. My legs were twitching in silence in what was the most intense orgasm of my entire life. This went on for damn near 30 seconds. My heart was pumping out of my chest. Sweat was falling down my forehead.
But as quick as it came on, it was over. My dick was left vibrating between my legs, still at full attention, but less sensitive now. I gently pulled the sheet up above Carmen's ass, and moved the massage down to her calves. My head was suddenly clear. I knew I had to move on from her ass or she'd get suspicious.
I also knew that my underwear was a mess, and I was in disbelief at what just happened.
I finished the massage, but I knew as soon as I walked into the light, the mess I made in my pants would be visible, so I grabbed a large towel and pretended to wipe oil off my hands, letting it hang down in front of me.
Reed finished up with Nate, and we walked out of the room to give Nate and Carmen their privacy. Ironic, considering I just saw her most private of areas. A few moments later, they came out with their clothes on, looking relaxed.
"That was very relaxing, thank you." Carmen said as she and Nate came out. She was none the wiser as to what happened. For her, the massage felt great. I took solace in knowing that I at least gave her a good experience, despite my moment of transgression.
Nate was complimenting Reed on his massage, and Reed was giving him some last-minute pointers on some stretches to do at home for his tightness.
"Thanks again," Carmen said, as Nate finished his conversation with Reed.
"That was the first time I've had a massage like that ," she said, looking at me dead in the eye. I could feel my cheeks getting warm.
She then quickly glanced down at my dick, which I was covering with the long towel in sort of an awkward way, then looked back up at me with the faintest of smiles. Nate hooked her arm, and they both walked out the door.

SHARED GUILTY PLEASURE
“You’re sure you want to do this?” my wife, Sofía, asked from the hotel bathroom.
I didn’t answer right away. While it wasn’t too late to change my mind, it felt that way.
“I think so,” I finally replied, lacking conviction but still committed.
We had made our way down to San Antonio from Austin. A short drive, but it felt miles away from the normality of life. The reason for this trip was the result of a conversation three months earlier.
It was early spring, and during some nighttime bedroom talk, Sofía and I discussed our sex life. Our relationship in all areas was great, except with intimacy. Life with a toddler had shifted our priorities.
That night we talked about sex, but more than just sex, we talked about fantasies. Sofía has always been a bit vanilla and shy on the topic, so it was new territory. I shared with her something I had been imagining in my mind for years: her giving an assjob to someone while I watched.
I don’t know why I was so fixated on it. Maybe it was the way I saw an older man take a video of her ass at the beach in Hawaii when she was in a thong bikini I bought her. She was a little annoyed about how small it was, but wore it for me nonetheless. The way he was fixated on it, and with no shame. Sofía didn’t notice until I showed her a picture I took of it happening. We laughed and moved on. Or at least she did. I revisited that picture often.
The way her ass stood out on her slender frame, holding its shape from all her Pilates, yet maintaining a mesmerizing jiggle with each step she took in the sand. The fabric of the bikini disappeared at the top of her ass cheeks, revealing to anyone who looked the entire show, leaving nothing to the imagination.
To my surprise, rather than dismiss my fantasy instantly, Sofía asked me questions.
“And how would you imagine this happens?” she implored. Not judging, but just curious to know how deeply I had thought about it.
There were a hundred different scenarios I had created in my mind, some of which I outlined, but ultimately I told her that the most realistic way would be to just find someone online, speak with them a bit to build trust, and then ask them. I figured another couple would give some peace to Sofía, knowing another woman was in the room watching as well.
“I don’t like that idea,” she said after listening to my realistic scenario. She continued, “I don’t trust complete strangers like that.”
“Maybe we’ll find someone you know then,” I replied, jokingly, ready to just let the topic fizzle.
“I’d be more okay with that,” Sofía replied.
I was stunned. I rolled over and turned off the light. I couldn’t sleep. My mind was racing, and I was turned on more than I had been in years.
The next few days, I wracked my brain thinking of someone who Sofía knew, but didn’t know too well.
Then it hit me.
At her old work, there was a coworker of hers who had a huge crush on her. Yuto Mai. He was a little socially awkward with women, shy, but nice. The classic example of a guy who has a major crush on someone at work, but has zero chance. He would message Sofía on Instagram now and again, complimenting her on her beauty. That is, up until I came into the picture. He had a hard time with that. And even though Sofía had left that job a few years prior, you could tell that he was still holding out hope.
That evening, I brought up our conversation and pitched the idea of Yuto.
“What about someone you knew who had a crush on you, like Yuto?” I suggested, waiting for her response.
“Eww, Yuto?” she replied. “He’s not my type at all.”
This took me by surprise. I didn’t realize that Sofía imagined this scenario with someone who she considered her “type”.
“Well, who is your type then?” I inquired.
“Not Yuto. That would be weird. You should have said Mike,” she answered.
“Who’s Mike?” I had genuinely not heard of his name before. Sofía’s face turned a light shade of pink as she explained to me that Mike was one of the senior managers she worked with. I learned that he was divorced and maybe 15 years older than Sofía. Apparently he would flirt with her a little at the office, but not in a gross kind of way. He was “smooth” (her words).
Their work relationship was starting to get quite flirty, until one Saturday night, he texted her to see if she wanted to meet up with him and some other work friends. His divorce wasn’t finalized, and it made Sofía feel a little weird, so she backed off. Not long after, she left the company for a new job.
I listened to her story about this guy that she crushed on.
“I suppose it would have been fun to have a secret fling at work,” she said with a small smile.
“What if, hypothetically, he was single? Would you let him get off to your ass?”
Sofía paused. Took a deep breath and exhaled slowly with a small nervous chuckle.
“Yeah.”
I felt my dick begin to swell. Emboldened by her openness, I pressed on further, "Do you have his number still?"
"Yes, I think so," she replied.
There was a small silence as I figured out how to say the hard part out loud. Sofía could sense it, as she too was getting a little nervous. Throwing caution to the wind, I made my proposal.
"If this is something you are comfortable with, then I say we send him a message. The worst-case scenario is he doesn't answer or says he is with someone," I said, looking at Sofía's face for her immediate reaction.
"If you're positive you'd be okay with another man touching me, and that's what you want, then I guess I'm willing to make it happen," she replied.
The ball was in my court.
"Okay, hand me your phone, I'll send him a text," I said, reaching out.
"Right now?"
"Yeah, why not? It's not like it is something that would happen immediately anyway. I'm curious to know if he remembers you," I replied.
Sofía searched her contacts and pulled up a text message to Mike and handed me her phone. I began crafting the text while she looked over my shoulder:
"Hi Mike, this is Sofía. I don't know if you remember me, but we worked together in the past. So, I'm married now, and my husband and I were doing what couples do, exploring fantasies. Assuming you're not in a relationship, we wanted to run something by you. I know this is random, so you can ignore this message as well, no hard feelings."
Sofía read the message under her breath and then shrugged at me with a smile.
"Okay, here goes," I said, getting ready to press send.
"Oh my God, this is crazy," Sofía replied instinctively.
"Sent!"
My heart was racing. It's possible he wouldn't even reply, but just writing out the text and sending it had me rock hard.
"Look," I said, while removing the sheet so Sofía could see my fullness.
"Well now, someone is excited," she replied, laughing a little.
That's when we heard it. The familiar sound of a text being received. Sofía and I exchanged a quick glance and she opened up her phone.
"Hey Sofía, of course I remember you! Congratulations on the marriage. And no, I'm not seeing anyone. What was it that you had in mind?"
Straight to the point.
Sofía handed me the phone.
"Tell him," she said, almost daring me.
I began to type.
"Well, my husband has a fantasy, and I told him I'm willing to help it come true, but only with the right person. He'd like to see someone get off to me. Not sex, but pleasure themselves to my body."
Sofía interrupted me.
"That's not really what we talked about. Why did you say that?"
She was right. I didn't say anything about someone else "pleasuring themselves" but was very specific about her giving someone an assjob. I was chickening out, but she caught it. I took a deep breath and held it for a second, then let it out slowly in an attempt to ease my tension before I rewrote the last sentence.
"Not sex, but an assjob. Like, using my ass to get off."
I pressed send quickly before I lost my nerve.
"Holy crap," she said, as we both sat in bed looking at the phone for a response.
The response was almost instant. Short and to the point:
"Yes. When?"
I sent a message saying that we'd get back to him and handed Sofía her phone back. We each had a look of disbelief on our face, but at the same time, excitement. Something that has been missing from our sex life the past few years.
"Okay, I think I'm ready," Sofía said as she emerged from the bathroom of the hotel.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I snapped back into the reality of the moment. Sofía was stunning in an understated way. She had put on a little makeup, but just enough to accent her beautiful eyes and lashes. She normally has straight hair but used the curling iron to make it a little wavy, like she does when we go to a wedding or important event.
Her outfit was perfect for the occasion. She wore a black crop top from Lululemon that stopped just below her bellybutton. It had a nice flow to it. And for her bottoms, she wore her tightest red yoga pants. The ones that I always asked her to wear, but she never did because they were uncomfortable because of how they wedged into her ass, leaving each ass cheek accentuated. I felt myself getting hard at just the sight of her.
"What time is it?" She asked. I picked up my phone to take a look.
"7:58PM" I replied. He should be here any time now.
My heart was pounding in my chest. We were really doing this. The simple fantasy I shared just a few months prior was now a living and breathing reality.
"How do you feel?" I asked Sofía, curious to know where her mind was.
"Good but nervous," she replied, sitting in the hotel room chair now.
"Are you... I don't know... Excited at all?" I probed, wanting to know more about her anticipation, if any.
"I think so, yeah," she replied. "It's definitely going to be something new."
She wasn't kidding. I wasn't even sure if this was what I wanted now that the moment had arrived. Sofía's ass was about to get off another man. Someone she had a history with. A small history, but a history nonetheless. But through all of it, I couldn't deny that I was also turned on. My dick continued to thicken as I looked at my wife's ass hugged by those yoga pants.
I was snapped back into the moment when we heard a small knock on the door. Sofía and I exchanged a quick glance. She walked over to the bed as I stood up and walked to the door. My heart in my throat, the pounding in my ears. It was time.
I slowly opened the door and saw Mike. He was around 6 ft tall and slender, I'd guess about 180 lbs. He had the body of a tennis player. He wore black dress slacks and a white button-up shirt with a black belt and black dress shoes. Almost like he came straight from the office. He was handsome, with short stubble, mostly gray hair but still some "pepper", and dark brown eyebrows.
"Hi, I'm Mike," he said with a warm smile as he outstretched his hand.
"James," I replied, "come on in."
As he walked in, Sofía walked towards the door.
"Oh my gosh, Mike, it has been so long," she said as she walked over and gave him a hug. As she let go, Mike kept his hands on Sofía's waist.
"You still look incredible," he said. "You know that I had a crush on you back in the day."
This caught Sofía off guard. She began to blush.
"I had a feeling," she replied, pushing back her long, dark, wavy hair.
"I'm glad you reached out and thought of me," Mike added, walking into the room now and setting his keys and wallet onto the dresser. Sofía followed him as I stood closer to the bathroom, leaning up against the wall with one hand nervously in my pocket.
This guy was indeed smooth. A little aged now, but not in a bad way. He was probably 50 years old and carried himself with the confidence of a man who had it together. Someone who didn't get rattled easily and who has seen it all.
Mike turned towards me, then looked at Sofía.
"I think it's an understatement to say I'm, well, looking forward to this," he said, with a sly smile on his face.
Mike walked back towards Sofía and put an arm around her waist, then bent down and kissed the top of her head.
"You smell incredible, too," he added.
Sofía smiled and glanced over at me, as if to look for guidance.
I cleared my throat. I knew that I would need to take an active role so that Sofía felt safe in the process. She had made it clear to me that I needed to be clear on what was okay and what was not so that I wouldn't get upset with her.
"Mike, how about you sit down on the end of the bed," I suggested. He slipped off his shoes and took a spot on the end of the bed with Sofía right in front of him in her crop top and tight red pants.
"Sofía," I said, my throat tightening. "I'm sure Mike has looked at your ass before." I looked at Mike, who seemed to pick up on the cue perfectly.
"Many times," he added, smiling back at Sofía. She turned a light shade of pink again and smiled back.
"Care to let me see it again?" Mike added.
I felt a twitch in my pants as my heart skipped a beat. Sofía gave a little naughty smile and turned around slowly. Mike sat on the bed with his hands by his sides, staring at Sofía's ass, hugged tightly by her red yoga pants.
"You make those pants look amazing," he said as he reached out his hand before hesitating. Sofía was looking back at him over her shoulder, smiling.
"May I?" He asked before moving forward.
Sofía didn't answer. She didn't even look at me. She simply reached back, grabbed his hand, and gently led it to her right ass cheek. Instinctively, Mike squeezed as soon as his hand landed.
"Fuck," he said, almost silently. He moved his hand over her ass crack to the other side and squeezed gently, Sofía's ass springing back into place as soon as he let go.
Mike sat more upright and used his hand to turn Sofía around so she was facing him. Putting both hands on her waist, he picked her up and put her down on his lap. Without hesitation, Sofía straddled him, her knees on the bed on either side of his legs, pressing the warmth between her legs down onto him.
She hesitated a moment to look over at me. I nodded approval as I watched from the side.
Sofía began to gyrate slightly on Mike's lap as he gripped her ass with both hands. As she did, she began to unbutton his dress shirt one button at a time, slowly. I could see on her face that she was enjoying herself now living out this fantasy with her former boss.
Mike moved Sofía's hips around on top of him with a firm grip on her ass cheeks, grinding his thickness into her. I noticed Sofía audibly gasp when Mike instinctively thrust while pulling her down. His shirt was now open, and he stopped a moment to take it off completely, his eyes fixated on Sofía.
As he did this, Sofía stepped off him. She turned around and stuck out her ass ever so slightly towards him. Mike reached out with both hands, slipped his fingers under the top of her yoga pants, and slowly began to peel them down. To my surprise, Sofía wasn't wearing any underwear! She always does. In fact, I had zero memory of her not wearing any. But here she was with her ex boss, panty-less.
Mike slid off the bed onto his knees behind Sofía and began softly kissing the crack of her ass. He started at the top, and with each kiss he moved down a little more. As he did this, he took off his belt and unbuttoned his pants. He reached in and pulled out his cock. He was rock hard already as he began to stroke himself. All the while, continuing his soft kissing along her crack.
Sofía was smiling from ear to ear. She was enjoying this attention as she looked over at me. Mike wasn't the only one with his hand on himself. The second her pants were pulled over her ass, I too had started my own self-pleasure at the sight. Never had I ever seen Sofía be so adventurous. Never had I ever been so turned on.
Sofía looked down over her shoulder and saw Mike's hand slowly pumping his thickness. She stared at him as he now ran his tongue slowly up and down Sofía's ass crack. In the soft glow of the hotel lamp, I could see a glistening trail of saliva from Mike's tongue.
Mike stopped, grabbed both of Sofía's ass cheeks, and gave them another gentle squeeze. He was attentive, methodical in his movements, and didn't rush. He then slowly pulled Sofía's pants down to her ankles. With his help, she stepped out of them, while keeping on her thick socks. She hates cold feet. That made me chuckle.
As she stood there, no pants on, no panties, and her crop top, Mike stood up slowly while simultaneously pulling down his pants and underwear. His cock sprung out of his pants, practically pointing due north he was so hard. Sofía kept her eyes on his shaft, enjoying the way she had made her ex-boss's dick stand at full attention to her.
Mike grabbed Sofía's hand and led her to the bed.
"Lay down here, darling," he said, his cock brushing against her as she walked by. Sofía kept her eyes on it, the way it was standing almost straight up, eager for release. She then crawled a little onto the bed and slowly lowered herself onto her stomach with her ankles crossed and head lying on her arms.
"Here you go," Mike said, grabbing the pillows from the head of the bed and using them to prop her hips. Sofía lay in front of him, ass up on full display for him.
"Just her ass crack," I interjected, reminding Mike that there were boundaries. He looked over at me and nodded, signaling he would honor the agreement. He then positioned himself behind Sofía, almost lying down on her but propping himself up with each arm and gently placing his dick over her ass. He then slowly slid up and down, the length of his dick gliding over his saliva from earlier.
Mike started slow, and as he did, he pushed himself more into Sofía's ass crack so that he could feel her heat from the base of his shaft. He held himself up with his right arm and firmly grabbed Sofía's left ass cheek with his left hand while he humped her ass with a slow rhythm.
My pants were also on the floor now as I stood against the wall with just a t-shirt on. I stroked myself with the same cadence. As I did, Sofía turned her head towards me and watched. I felt a rush go through my legs, the sight of my wife's ass being gently used by Mike for his pleasure while she watched me pleasure myself. I could see it in her eyes: she felt powerful.
Mike's pace began to quicken as he used her ass to get closer to the edge. The ass he had seen at work all those years ago and had fantasized about ever since. It was his for one night, and while there were unspoken rules, he was embracing every sensual movement. The heat of Sofía against him, the way her ass squished under his weight, and how her ass couldn't quite envelop his shaft as he slid back and forth across it.
Sofía then shifted her weight. Mike stopped to make room for her to move more. She got up onto her knees and pushed slightly so he rolled onto his side and then back.
"Holy shit, baby," I said, stroking a little quicker now.
Sofía then turned around to face Mike's feet and straddled him reverse-cowgirl, scooting back on Mike's thighs so that he could position his dick against her, deep into her ass crack now. Mike grabbed her hips and started to lift her up and down. With each down thrust, he would push up with his hips, fucking her ass crack.
"mmm fuck Sofía, your ass..." Mike said between increasingly broken breaths. He was moving her up and down a little faster now.
"mmm, you like it?" Sofía said, her breath hitching a little as she too felt the stimulation in what felt like her entire pelvis.
"Yes, God yes," Mike answered, eyes fixed on his dick sliding between her cheeks.
The entire moment was so electric, unlike anything Sofía and I had ever experienced together. I was getting close to finishing and needed a closer look, so I walked over to the bed and slid onto it, lying next to Mike. I could see exactly what he was seeing. With Mike's hands on Sofía's hips, I reached out my left hand and squeezed her ass, pushing it against Mike while simultaneously jerking off with my free hand.
"Fuck, I'm getting close," I said, as I felt the ecstasy building up from my legs.
"Me too," Mike echoed, still watching his dick disappear between Sofía's slippery ass cheeks.
Sofía let out a long moan and looked back at each of us worshipping her ass. It must have been her look, because at that moment I felt the rush shoot through me as I came hard, making a mess on my stomach. Just a few moments later, Mike began to moan. He was moving Sofía's ass up and down quickly. His balls tighten.
"Oh Fuck yessss," he moaned as he was getting close. Sofía reached back and placed her hand over his dick, pressing it firmly into her ass crack as he pumped. That did it. Mike couldn't hold it back any longer. With each thrust up Sofía's ass, he spewed white ropes up onto her lower back and the top of her cheeks.
After 20 seconds or so, his pace slowed, but only after getting every last bit out with an occasional thrust. Finally, he let go of Sofía's hips and lay his head back. Mike was sweating, breathing heavily, and almost laughing to himself.
"That was incredible," he said with his hands over his face, wiping away the sweat.
Sofía climbed off him to go grab a towel to clean off. Mike and I lay on our backs, hearts still pumping hard but slowing down. We exchanged a glance and chuckled.
"Glad I could help with your fantasy," Mike said with a little chuckle.
All I could do was laugh back. It was a night I would certainly always remember. The wildest moment of our relationship. I loved seeing Sofía in that way and how her body was so appreciated by Mike.
Sofía came back from the restroom, but to my surprise, she was naked. She jumped onto the bed between Mike and me, laughing, and held up her phone.
"Say cheese!" she said as she took a selfie of us three. A memory of the time she got two men off in one night. The night of their shared guilty pleasure.
"Shit, shit, shit, come on Birdy! Not like this!"
Alcubierre engines whirled in rage. Taken to the brink by their own will to live. Attention claimed by gravity, their mortal enemy.
"Danger, Gravity Well. Danger, Gravity Well" The computer accompanied its lament with a symphony of blinking instruments. Its audience would prefer silence.
"Please, Birdy! We've been through so much, I know you can do this!" A scream no one could hear.
She pulled the yoke like Excalibur itself and just as in vain. No hero, no weapon could save her from the shapeless, ravenous hunger. Nothing consumes the canopy as stars flee for their own safety. The black maw opens wider, and wider still. The cosmos ages like a friend once known, missed only in their absence.
Time is all that's left. Time is all that can be saved.
"Emergency Frame Freeze Initiated" Engines resign themselves, finding acceptance before their master.
"No... Please Birdy no..."
Hands release the stubborn hilt. They find renewed purpose in catching tears.
Nature abhors a vacuum, so silence takes its place. A witness to the cosmic tragedy. Its hands weighing on her shoulders and heart.
Drowning eyes float through the canopy glass. The black mirror seen, the black mirror shows. Recursive light permits the most personal of patterns. A ship, beaten and loved, held still in the arms of void. Cradling the doomed fledgling.
Then choking it.
"Hull compromised"
Silence took her too.
The wood screamed in comfort and warmth. A necessary, hidden evil. An unspoken right to forsake the gift of creation. Bestowed by hands and minds. Sparks journey to heavens uncharted as another log lands in hell. "Blast this damned chill." His voice almost muffled by the forest of his face. "Throw on another log, lest we freeze to death," pleaded the pile of furs.
Another log. Another journey. Another nameless sin.
The brilliant pores of heaven's face twinkle undisturbed. The anxious wind finds its purchase in the branches of horrored yew. The rustling prayer is lost on the soldiers. Beyond the gale lies the land of man and myth. Born to be loved, protected, sieged, and forgotten. Half burns. Half shivers. Whole is lost.
"Aye... Meerkin. What's on y'mind, son." Breath falls deeply through his thicket. "A warm cot, a cold rye... and a beautiful woman." The pile shifts and replies. Like distant thunder, the beard laughs. "Ha! Careful there, son. Read my thoughts once more and I'll take you for a warlock!" "Hmph. Careful, old man. I hold no empathy for monsters." The old man's sunken eyes rest upon the creation of hell, though attention rests elsewhere, not here, not present. "We're all monsters, son." He speaks as if the trees must not ever hear the truth already obvious to them.
Nature abhors a vacuum, so silence takes its place. Neither banish, nor welcome it. It rests at the fire like everything else. Uninvited, unnoticed, yet despised with no name.
And thus, the silence spoke.
"Do you ever wonder why we're here?" The pile was now a philosopher. The sunken eyes climb out of hell to rest upon the distant heaven. "A holy gift, or a bizarre curse? I do not believe the answer is found amongst language, my dear friend." The pile gave birth to a man, erect in posture, smooth in face, bright in eyes. Claiming the old man's attention. "No, you codger. Here! Why are we at war?" The sunken eyes widen in surprise. Such a simple question. Such a simple answer. "Defending our motherland, or so I'm told." He projected from his thicket.
"Or..." He growled in contemplation. He had found something in the dark.
Warm, cold, and quiet.
"Mayhaps... the kings just needed logs for the fire."
The radiant resonance called out to my heavy heart. But he remained still, hidden. Not fear, nor stealth. In holy observation. The calculated indifference of selfless, selfish prayer received, but did not reply. Forever and always vigilant, he knows the devil kisses with the same lips that speak the divine truth. To distinguish them, to filter, is not faith. It's a skill. Not bestowed. Trained.
"Do not remain seated!" The father spoke through a son of sons. "There's something here. Something in the air. God has graced us with his presence! Courtesy in the house of the Lord! Stand! Raise your hands! And let the Lord speak!"
Passion wasn't a strong enough word.
Voices raised in unison, crying out through the known and unknown alike. Hands yearning to grasp the bars of pearly gates so far, far out of reach. That did not dissuade them.
I remained seated. Two eyes closed. One eye flickered. The requiem pierced my ears like a bullet and reverberated beyond the network of ganglia and grey matter. Something deeper, something that becomes nothing when permitted to be something. My hands clasped together with the tension once belonging in my shoulders. The signal is real, but its source is contested.
"Praise be to him!" one shouted.
"Worthy is the lamb, worthy is the lamb!" one sang.
I doubt he could carry a tune in a bucket.
A sudden echo in the darkness behind my eyelids.
Dissonance. Distraction. Threat. Return. Continue.
Attention returned. Fleeting still.
"Worship in his name!"
Which one. Many names collapse to one but never none. My many thoughts swim like river fish. Once here, once swept away.
A woman collapses at the altar. Rivers flow from her eyes and through the valleys of her face. She has died today. Born tomorrow. And will die again. And again. And again.
Questions evade her because the answer stands obvious. But so does the lie told one too many times.
And yet.
I trust her.
I trust that a death at the feet of the Lord is worth a thousand lacerations. Worth two planks and three nails. Worth the history that led her to the present.
But she will pray for a future past.
I will remain present.
A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
The story begins, as so many stories do, with me walking home from the pub. It was early evening, but dark and rainy.
I pass the church I'm responsible for looking after, and I see the local gas company is beginning to erect barriers around an area of pavement outside the churchyard.
I am filled with a sense of foreboding. I know this church. I know this place. I know that area of pavement used to be graveyard, before they re-routed the road.
I consider going over and saying "hi. If you find a body, don't worry, just give me a call"
And then I think about that for a second, and how they would absolutely phone the police if a stranger in a hoodie walked up to them in the dark and said "don't phone the police if you find a body, call me."
So I go home.
And, as anticipated, a few days later, I get a message. I need to phone the police. An "object" has been found near the churchyard, and they want to speak to me.
I ring the number the police gave me. I know exactly what's happened. The officer goes "we wanted to speak to you about..." And I just go "where the gas workers were digging used to be graveyard." And I hear her yell "sarge! I've got a guy from the church on the phone! It DID used to be graveyard!"
I have to go down to the church. A team of detectives in plain clothes turn up. They've got plans from the record office but they can't read them. I pull out old papers from our files. I show them what they're looking at. The line of the churchyard wall over time. The shrinking of the graveyard.
We go outside, so I can show the police the old plans in context. I look into the hole the workers dug. See the pavement blocks, the sand they laid them on, and below that, rich black dirt. I exclaim "Oh! That's graveyard dirt! I'd know it anywhere! That's well fed dirt, if you know what I mean."
I talk for a while to these detectives, about graveyard dirt. How to identify it. How the graveyard size and shape fluctuated over time. How, when they made the new road, they dug a foot or so down, took the bones they found, and then stopped. How the ground was filled with bodies for meters around.
Somehow, I do not get arrested.
As the detectives are going to leave, to take all they'd learned back to hq, I say, "look, I know nobody is confirming you've found bones. But I know it's bones, and you know it's bones, and you know that I know it's bones."
And they say "...yes."
And so I say to the detectives "look, I know it's a weird question, but when you've confirmed they're old graveyard bones, not murder bones, can we have them back?"
And the detectives say "... We've never been asked that before..."
I say to the police that it's important to us, to have the bones back. That whoever they belonged to wanted to be buried, here, at this church. That even though time separates us, time is nothing to God, and they are still part of our community. I say we want to bring them home. To rebury them.
I say there's church law, and other considerations, of course, but that, all that aside... It's the right thing to do.
The police promise to ask and let me know. And they head off to continue their investigation.
For the rest of the day, a rotating cast of police officers visit the church. They say they're doing "reassurance patrols". I tell them that they're more stressed than we are. That human bones are an everyday occurrence here, with our ancient graveyard. Then I offer each of them a cup of tea.
Finally they lift the scene. They decide, as we knew all along, that the human bones found inches from the wall of an ancient graveyard, were, in fact, graveyard bones, not murder bones.
I email the police, reiterating my desire to have the bones returned.
And they come back, offering to drop them off in about a week.
I arrange a meeting, and, standing in the garage in the drizzling rain, am handed a police evidence bag, full of human remains.
I ask the police if I have to sign for them? Show ID? Anything? After all... This is a person. They say... No. I take the bones inside. Kneel before the altar. Carefully open the evidence bag, lift out the skull, the femur. The vertebra. Still cold and damp from the earth. Most of the bones we find work their way to the surface, and so I'm shocked by how delicate these feel, wrenched from their resting place.
I gently wipe the mud and dirt from the bones. Wrap them in white linen. Place them in the wicker basket where we keep all the bones that escape our graveyard. Pray. One day soon, we'll hold a service and rebury them. A priest will lead the service, and I will dig the hole, and we will lower these fragments of person back into the rich black earth, in this, the place they chose to be.
After all this disturbance, we will, once again, pray them to their rest.

Horror/sort of a character study perhaps, ~2k words.
Writing this was cathartic. I got messed up in a hit and run a few years ago, this story draws on that experience.

This is one of my favorite short stories ever. I love the feeling of this story even if isn't perfectly analyzable.
I love Murakami. Apart from Borges he may have influenced my fiction writing style most.
I love Borges as y'all know. And I value the New Yorker podcast too.
Its horror month!
Story about procrastination and confession
Story about talking with a dead man.
Three days after I was born, as I lay in my silken cradle, gazing with astonished dismay on the new world round about me, my mother spoke to the wet-nurse, saying, “How does my child?”
And the wet-nurse answered, “He does well, Madame, I have fed him three times; and never before have I seen a babe so young yet so gay.”
And I was indignant; and I cried, “It is not true, mother; for my bed is hard, and the milk I have sucked is bitter to my mouth, and the odour of the breast is foul in my nostrils, and I am most miserable.”
But my mother did not understand, nor did the nurse; for the language I spoke was that of the world from which I came.
And on the twenty-first day of my life, as I was being christened, the priest said to my mother, “You should indeed by happy, Madame, that your son was born a Christian.”
And I was surprised,—and I said to the priest, “Then your mother in Heaven should be unhappy, for you were not born a Christian.”
But the priest too did not understand my language.
And after seven moons, one day a soothsayer looked at me, and he said to my mother, “Your son will be a statesman and a great leader of men.”
But I cried out,—”That is a false prophet; for I shall be a musician, and naught but a musician shall I be.”
But even at that age my language was not understood—and great was my astonishment.
And after three and thirty years, during which my mother, and the nurse, and the priest have all died, (the shadow of God be upon their spirits) the soothsayer still lives. And yesterday I met him near the gates of the temple; and while we were talking together he said, “I have always known you would become a great musician. Even in your infancy I prophesied and foretold your future.”
And I believed him—for now I too have forgotten the language of that other world.
It is no secret that Borges is my favourite writer ever. He's the face of this community and I've posted several stories and analysis posts too. And I shall continue to do so.
This story really influenced my writing style. Infact one of the OC stories I've posted in this community is heavily influenced by the narrative structure of this short story.
Trying to mix the real and unreal together is smth I love to include in my writing.
Now who doesn't like a horror story about teeth?
Quite intense writing.
She was awake, my sleeping beauty. He had waked her; he had given her what she lacked, and what few men could have given her: the sense of peril, which is the root of love. Now she needed what she had always had and never needed, her serenity, her strength. I stared at her and finally said, “You mean to live with him?”
Beautiful prose, rips into the human soul even if it is a very short story.
16 little folksy stories. As short as a paragraph most of em.
'she had tried for years to explain to them that if all you had was mud, then if you were God you made it into human beings, and if you were human you tried to make it into houses where human beings could live.'
Now who would've expected a Tolstoy short story with a link to the anarchist library eh. (Not me, that's for certain)
