Contemporary Romance (BDSM, kink)
Date Published: 06-21-2023
Heather’s soul soars when she’s hang-gliding, skydiving, kayaking, or piloting a helicopter during search and rescue missions. She’s taken the term adrenaline junkie to a whole new level. However, she’s never enjoyed sex and never had an orgasm.
Instead of giving up on her, Kyle, a long-time friend who convinces her to be more, brings an experienced Dom in to help. Marcus explains she only enjoys extreme sports, so she needs to try extreme sex since the normal kind hasn’t worked. Marcus is all Dom, and helps Kyle bring Heather alive sexually.
Just when Heather thinks she has everything figured out, she learns the details of how it worked when the two men shared a girlfriend for years while they were in college.
Chapter 1
Heather felt bad for Kyle.
She’d tried so many times to convince him the problem was
her and not him. She’d never had an orgasm and assumed she never would, but
she’d come to terms with it long ago.
Kyle, however, wouldn’t accept it, and he refused to get off
until she did, which meant he never came.
At first, she thought he went soft because Heather couldn’t
get into it, but the last time they’d tried, he told her he didn’t deserve an
orgasm if he couldn’t make her happy.
Why her easygoing boyfriend chose this topic to dig
his heels in was beyond her. When she’d told him she could give him a blowjob
and get him off, and assured him she didn’t need him to touch her while she did
it, he’d seemed horrified at the idea she was okay with giving him pleasure
when she received none.
She’d had this speech all prepared about how she could give
him a few blowjobs a week, and maybe do the sex thing once or twice a week — as
long as he didn’t expect her to enjoy it. However, after his reaction to her
suggestion, she’d crawled inside herself with the knowledge she was about to
lose the love of her life because something inside her was broken and she
didn’t know how to fix it.
Should she tell him, again, she was more than happy
to give him blowjobs as often as he wanted, and she’d even do the sex thing
with him once or twice a week — but expecting her to actually enjoy it was
asking too much? She didn’t know any other options.
But she’d chickened out and said nothing more, expecting
he’d break up with her in the coming days.
But now, a few weeks later, she hadn’t lost him yet.
Unfortunately, he was trying again with soft music and
candles while he licked her clit and pussy like it was supposed to magically
turn something on in her. Heather found herself trying to find shapes in the
texture on the ceiling in the flickering candlelight. She didn’t want to hurt
his feelings but desperately hoped he’d stop soon.
Her mind drifted, and Heather pondered once again whether
she should’ve allowed their relationship to move into a romantic one. They’d
been friends for years before they started dating, and they’d been together
three months before having sex. After another three months of dating with
several failed attempts, she wondered what it would take to convince him she
just wasn’t wired for it. She’d even tried to explain what sensory processing
disorder meant, and how her time in a Korean orphanage, hungry and in a lot of
pain, had made her turn her pain signals off when she was a baby — when she’d never
given such personal details to a boyfriend before.
She’d let their relationship move to the next level because
she couldn’t deny how much she loved him, but now she was worried she was going
to lose him. He was her rock, her best friend, and she felt more at home in his
arms than anywhere else on the planet.
Her eyes watered, because it was beyond time she accepted
that she was never going to manage a longterm relationship with a healthy male.
There was no doubt Kyle loved her. He’d quietly seduced her
for years, and had been a great friend who’d become so much more. She’d been
determined to keep him in the friend box because she valued his
friendship too much to lose him over sex, but he’d finally convinced her he loved
her no matter what, and she’d gotten tired of fighting her own feelings for
him. She’d stupidly hoped it might be different this time.
So here they were, madly in love with each other, but she
was too broken to make it work.
Kyle kissed his way up her stomach, and she breathed in
relief with the realization he was trying to call tonight’s experiment quits
without anyone being upset it hadn’t worked. He maneuvered through the center
of her breasts, gave her a peck on the lips, a soft kiss on the forehead,
settled a sheet over them, and pulled her into his warm embrace. “It’s okay,
babe. It’s not your fault it didn’t work. We’ll figure out what turns you on.”
Heather spooned into him and relaxed into his arms, but she
silently wondered if he’d still want her once he figured out nothing would
work.
