Chapter 6: Orgasm
"Just hear me out Tim ok. Is it cheating for a man to touch me?" Emily challenges, her voice barely concealing her frustration. "I didn't think so, and I was the one naked and soaking wet, not him," she argues, attempting to reason with Tim.
"Emily, how the hell do you expect me to react when I see pictures of you naked with another man?" Tim sighs out in frustration. His grip on her waist tightens as a torrent of emotions surges inside him. His muscles stiffen as he struggles to contain the beastly fury he feels, the fire in his loins kindled by envisioning their intimate acts.
"No tim you listen to me I didn't cheat on and I am going to fully explain why got it?" She says angrily "do you agree its not cheating to be naked with a naked man? Yes or no?" Emily pressed. Her voice laced with agitation and resolution, leaving no room for ambiguity.
Tim closed his eyes, rubbing the bridge of his nose with the pad of his thumb. He labored through the confusion and the plethora of emotions roiling within him as if they were separate entities tangled together by invisible strings. Was it cheating to be naked with another man? In theory, the answer should've been simple. But for him, the judgment hung heavy on the precipice of indecision. Could he forgive her or would the constant doubt and pain cripple their relationship?
He squeezed his eyes shut, contemplating her question with all his might.
Tim noticed the tension in Emily's body, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she awaited his response. Afraid of her reaction, he hesitated to reply as the silence grew larger and larger between them. A minute passed before he finally found his voice.
"Alright, Emily, its not cheating" tim answers
"Good now is it cheating if I touch a naked man when I am also naked?" Emily asks, her voice exasperated from repeating her point multiple times.
Tim sighed before answering, his tone measured, "I suppose it isn't cheating if you are merely touching someone during a professional setting like a photo shoot or something of that nature." He raised his hands palms up in concession before dropping them to his side, clearly trying to be reasonable.
Yet conflict still churned in Emily's mind, her eyes clouded as she considered the myriad complexities of what it meant to respect the boundaries of her relationship in such intimate situations.
Its at this point Emily shows tim a new picture of her holding Alex's cock while they were fooling around during the photo shoot.
The image reveals Emily hunched over a towel, her small hand grasping a massive appendage covered in water beads that reflected the dim studio lighting. The harsh lines of her hand in stark relief as they grip the member, highlighting the contradiction of danger vs femininity present in the image.
Tim could feel the blood rush to his ears as he assessed the confronting image swimming before his eyes. It was a deeply uncomfortable experience, making his insides twist as uncertainness clashed with fervent jealousy.
"Then by your own definition this can't be cheating you just said so?" Emily argues , looking triumphant as she slides the phone across the table towards Tim. He hesitates only briefly before snatching it up, and examining the photo more closely.
The image shows Emily and Alex on the beach again. However, it's not like the previous ones. Her smile is relaxed, full of warmth and easiness. Alex's cock sits comfortably in her hand, his face turned away with a goofy expression as they sit in the surf, chatting casually. It looked as though they were sharing a private joke.
"I know what I just said but his cock is in your hand Emily..." tim reasons aloud, a weary resignation clouding his features.
"Yes I know but you just told me touching another man who is naked is not cheating so clearly me touching another man is not cheating his penis is a part of him still right?" Emily reasons , her voice filled with the conviction she believed to be accurate. Tim frowned, rubbing his temples as he considered her argument in the light of his own.
"To be honest, I can't say that I completely disagree. If the touch was accidental or not intended to provoke any sort of sexual response, I suppose it could approach the realm of not cheating," Tim responded thoughtfully. He inhaled deeply, taking in the sea air that wafted through their open apartment window and calming himself.
