One afternoon my husband Chris and I invited my friend Raquel over for a barbecue.

Raquel’s husband had left her a few months earlier, and she was still getting used to the idea of being on her own. Chris has always had a secret crush on her, so he was happy to have her over. He was always kidding us about doing a threesome, but she and I never took him seriously.

Now Chris was on the patio grilling steaks and corn while Raquel and I busied ourselves in the kitchen whipping up a salad. We were in bikinis because we were going to jump in our hot tub after dinner.

Then out of the blue Raquel asked me if I’d ever kissed another woman. At first I was shocked, because I had always thought of her as rather green, but I kept my cool and said, “No, not really, but I can’t say that I haven’t thought about it. You know, with all the joking we do about having a threesome, it’s hard sometimes not to think about it.”

She agreed, and said she was just wondering, because lately she’d been kind of down on men. Then Raquel smiled and said to me, “But if I ever did something like that I would want it to be with you, Ellie.”

I guess the screwdrivers we’d been drinking were working on me because my answer shocked me. I said, “You know, if you ever do decide to kiss another woman, I do hope it’s me.” At that point Chris yelled for us to bring out the salad because the steaks were ready. Dinner was pleasant, but I couldn’t get the idea of kissing Raquel out of my mind. By the time we had loaded the dishwasher, the sun had set. Chris said that he would join us in the hot tub after he caught the sports scores on TV.

I got some towels, and Raquel and I climbed into the tub. I watched her as she got in. She has a great ass, and her bikini was cut really high. I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I just blurted out, “Raquel, I’ve been thinking about what you said about wanting to kiss another woman. Did you really mean it? Because if you did, I think I’d like to try it.”

We finally broke apart and stood up. Naked as we were, we didn’t seem uncomfortable with each other. I said, “That was different — and great.”

She didn’t say a word. She just leaned close to me and pressed her soft lips to mine. Just as I was about to pull away, figuring I had got my curiosity taken care of, I felt her tongue pressing against my lips, and without thinking I opened my mouth, allowing her tongue to slide in. Things were really starting to heat up now; one of her hands was on my thigh and the other held the back of my head, pressing our mouths tighter together. Then the hand that was on my thigh was suddenly between my legs, cupping my crotch.

Instead of pushing it away, I put my arms around Raquel’s slim waist and pulled her toward me. I rammed my hot tongue back into her mouth as the kiss grew in intensity. Our breathing became intense as we played tongue tag. Her fingers pushed my bikini to the side and she slipped a finger into my hot little pussy. At that moment all I could think about was her making me come. Raquel had me on fire, and I desperately wanted some relief. I pulled down her bikini bottom, slipped two fingers into her pussy, and pulled off her bra with my loose hand. She took my lead and had my boobs free in no time. Her finger pumped in and out of me as I did the same to her. I moaned, “Raquel, I’m so hot, I want to come. Make me come, please!”

She said she felt the same way, but wanted to go inside where we could have some privacy. I grabbed the towels, and we wrapped them around us. We were down the hall in a flash. I winked at Chris as we passed by.

As soon as the door closed, she pulled my bikini bottom to the floor. Her fingers spread my pussy lips, exposing my clit to her. She teasingly used her finger to rub my love button. Finally she pressed her tongue to it and licked all around. She drove her tongue deep into me and licked the inner walls of my aching pussy. Then she used her lips to pull at my clit as if she were sucking a little prick, and I came harder than I’d ever come with Chris.

Raquel crawled up on the bed and lay on top of me. I could feel her stiff nipples pressing into me as she put her lips to mine. I tasted myself on her lips as she once again slipped her tongue into my waiting mouth.

We finally broke apart and stood up. Naked as we were, we didn’t seem uncomfortable with each other. I said, “That was different — and great.” Raquel confessed that ever since her husband had split she had been obsessing about the threesome we were always kidding about.

I really wanted to have my first go at making another girl come, but decided to save it for another time. I hope to let you know sometime soon how that turned out.
