Chapter 3: Rising Action
Ryan walked into the Starbucks, a sense of unease settling in his stomach as he scanned the room for Lucy. He hadn't seen her in over four years, not since they had broken up, and the thought of seeing her again made him uncomfortable.
He finally spotted her, sitting at a table in the corner, sipping on a latte. She had changed quite a lot. He'd heard from family and friends that she'd let herself go a bit since the break-up, but he didn't realise the extent of it. Shed clearly had multiple Botox and fillers in her face, which had started as her and Ryan were breaking up. He always hated that she done that. Shed also gotten more tattoos, another thing that displeased Ryan towards the end of their relationship. She'd put on a considerable amount of weight too. Shed always been a thick girl and curvy, but had definitely become.more chubby now, than curvy. But she still had a gothy aesthetic, and did her eyeliner in just the way that Ryan had always loved. Was that for his benefit he pondered as he sat down.
Lucy looked up at him and smiled, her bright blue eyes shining. Ryan couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia as he looked at her. They had been so in love once, but things had ended badly between them.
"Ryan, it's so good to see you!" Lucy said, standing up to give him a hug. Ryan tensed up as she wrapped her arms around him, feeling uncomfortable. He quickly pulled away and cleared his throat.
"Hi, Lucy. It's been a while," he said awkwardly.
"I know," Lucy replied, sitting back down. "I've missed you."
Ryan raised an eyebrow at her. "Missed me? Lucy, we broke up four years ago. We haven't spoken since."
Lucy looked down at her hands, a blush creeping up her cheeks. "I know, I just... I never stopped thinking about you. About us."
Ryan didn't know what to say. He had moved on from Lucy, found happiness with Annie.
And yet, he couldn’t deny the twinge of something he couldn’t quite put his finger on. Maybe it was nostalgia, or perhaps just surprise at seeing her again. But whatever it was, he knew he couldn’t let himself get caught up in it.
“That's unfair, Lucy. Plus, anyway, I'm seeing someone else now, Lucy,” he said firmly, hoping to make his stance clear.
Lucy looked up at him, her bright blue eyes shining with something that looked suspiciously like tears. “Yeah, I had assumed so. I stalked your socials a bit" She said with a nervous laugh. "And I'm happy for you. Really, I am,” Lucy said, trying to sound sincere. But Ryan couldn't shake off the feeling that she was hiding something.
They made small talk for a few minutes, catching up on each other's lives. Lucy told him about her struggles with finding a job after graduating from college and about her recent decision to start an OnlyFans account to supplement her income.
Ryan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable as she told him this.
Part of the reason they had ended us because Ryan had caught Lucy signing up to a Sugar Daddy website. She promised she wouldn't do anything, she was just looking for some quick cash. It broke him, he gave her everything, but she always wanted more. She had always fixated on money, but always tried to earn it with minimal effort.
"There's a surprise". He said, rolling his eyes, feeling the same pangs of jealousy and toxicity that he hadn't felt in years.
It was clear that Lucy still had a hold on him, whether he wanted to admit it or not.
"Listen, Ryan. I know we didn't end things on the best of terms, and for that, I am truly sorry," Lucy said, reaching out to touch his arm. "But I think we can still have something special, something meaningful."
Ryan took a deep breath and pulled away from her touch. He couldn't let himself get sucked into this vortex of negativity again.
He had moved on and was happy with Annie. He couldn't let Lucy tear him away from that.
"Lucy, I appreciate the sentiment, but I am in love with someone else now," Ryan said firmly, trying to keep his voice steady.
Lucy looked down at her hands, a tear sliding down her cheek. "I understand," she whispered.
They sat in silence for a moment before Lucy looked up at him, her bright blue eyes shining. "Can I ask you one thing though, Ryan?" she said softly.
Ryan sighed and nodded.
"Sure, go ahead," he said, bracing himself for what she was about to ask.
Lucy took a deep breath and looked at him. "Do you remember the sex we used to have? How passionate and raw it was?" she asked, her bright blue eyes locked on his.
Ryan felt his cheeks flush at the memory. Yes, he remembered. Lucy had been his first real love, and they had an insane sexual chemistry that seemed to have no bounds.
Their sex life was something out of a movie, intense, passionate and unforgettable. They had tried almost everything, and it was always explosive and satisfying. They never said 'no' to each other, no matter how many boundaries were crossed or fantasies fulfilled.
Remembering those days now, Ryan felt himself getting hard. He tried to shake off the thoughts, knowing he couldn't entertain them. He had a girlfriend he loved dearly and needed to be faithful to her.
"Why are we here Lucy?" Ryan quizzed.
"I've been thinking a lot about myself recently and I'm pretty sure I'm bi," Lucy admitted, looking at Ryan with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
Ryan felt his heart skip a beat. He had always suspected that Lucy might be bi. She had always been quite masculine and domineering, and always acted strange around pretty girls. Ryan even outright asked her a few times,.but she always denied it.
"I knew it!" Ryan said with a bragging tone, he'd been right again.
Lucy laughed "Yep, you called it, I guess. I wanted to tell you because I trust you. And because I think you might be able to help me figure things out. I haven't acted on these feelings yet, and honestly you're the only person I've ever had great sex with, so that's why I wanted to speak with you about it. Plus I trust you to be honest ".
Ryan just stared back, in utter disbelief at the whole situation.
He couldn't believe that Lucy was coming to him with something so personal, something he never thought he'd hear from her.
"What are you asking me, Lucy?" Ryan finally asked, trying to wrap his head around the situation.
Lucy took a deep breath and looked up at Ryan, her bright blue eyes pleading. "I'm asking if you would consider having sex with me one more time, just so I can figure out my sexuality. No strings attached, we don't have to tell anyone, and we can just pretend it never happened afterwards," Lucy said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ryan's mind was racing. He knew this was a terrible idea, but he couldn't deny the rush he was feeling at the thought of having sex with Lucy again.
"I'd never ever cheat on Annie, Lucy. You know me better than that."
"Well, I mean, she can join?" Lucy said invitingly "Two birds, one stone, right?" She joked. "I can fuck you again, and re-experience the best sex I've ever had, and I can finally make love to a girl. Afterwards I just know that I'll understand my sexuality better.
I'll finally understand if I'm bi or not. Just help me out here, Ryan. I need this," Lucy begged, her bright blue eyes pleading.
Ryan knew he shouldn't do this. It was a betrayal to Annie, and to their relationship. But there was something about the way Lucy was looking at him, something about the way she had always looked at him that made it hard to say no. He had always been the one to satisfy her needs and desires, and it was as if she knew that he still wanted her too.
Ryan couldn't help but feel a surge of desire as he looked at Lucy's enhanced boobs, which were spilling out of her low-cut top.
"Lucy, I don't think that's a good idea," Ryan said, trying to sound firm.
But Lucy wasn't taking no for an answer. "Come on, Ryan. You know you want to," she said, her voice low and seductive. "You know we always had great chemistry, and it could be a one-time thing. Every guy fantasises about having a threesome with two beautiful women." Lucy said with a wink. "Especially with one as hot as me and another as fine as your girlfriend."
She leaned across the table, her huge fake tits pressing against the fabric of her top. "I promise it'll be the best sex of your life. I'm sure Annie would love it too".
Lucy was probably right. Annie had had lesbian experiences in the past. She didn't identify as bisexual, she said she enjoyed the sex, but didn't fantasise about women in the same way as men, and couldn't picture herself dating a woman.
"I mean... obviously we had great sex..." Ryan said, his tone starting to seem like he was coming around to the idea. "It was wild, I still can't believe the things we did to eachother."
Lucy said, reminiscing about their past sexual adventures. "Do you remember the way you used to just eat my ass for hours?"
Ryan, just sat laughing at how forward she was being.
Lucy leaned in closer to Ryan, her breasts pressing against his arm. "And I still can't believe you let me peg you that one time," she whispered. "We could do it again you know? I still have the strap-on. I could fuck you and your girlfriend at the same time." Lucy suggested, her confidence growing with her appetite for his throbbing cock.
"Why don't I come over to your place tomorrow and show you how good it can be again?"
Ryan's mind raced as he tried to make a decision. He knew it was wrong, but the thought of being with Lucy again was too tempting to resist. "I'll obviously have to talk with Annie about it," he finally said, wavering on his stance. "But on one condition - no strings attached."
Lucy nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement. "Of course," she promised, "Speak with Annie and text me your address when she agrees, I can't wait to meet her!" Ryan couldn't believe what he had just agreed to. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't resist the temptation. He had always had a weakness for Lucy, and the thought of having her again was too much to resist.
He left the coffee shop feeling conflicted. He knew he needed to talk to Annie, but he also knew how she would react. She was insecure about their relationship, and this would only make things worse.
He got in his car and started driving home, his mind racing with thoughts of Lucy.
He couldn't believe he had agreed to have a threesome with her and Annie. It was wrong, he knew it was, but he couldn't resist the temptation.
He pulled up in front of his house and sat in his car for a few minutes, trying to gather his thoughts.
