I grip her waist and move. The sound of our bodies merging drowns the faint flicker of the fluorescent light above.

Her back arches. She pulls me deeper. I thrust until the shelves shake, until she’s sobbing in short, raw bursts “Ah, yes, right there—fuck, yes—”

When I come it’s like something tearing loose inside. Months of restraint break open. She slumps forward, laughing breathlessly.

“Now that,” she pulls up her pants, “was a bit of madness.”

I pull my jeans up, heart still hammering. Out in the pub, GoreGlam starts their next song, a blistering, screaming noise sounding of absolution.

Johan and Marin are looking for bisexual fun. A hot, fit man to take apart. Raw. No strings, no feelings.

Me.

They’re married. Mid-thirties. Profile pic is the two of them. Naked. Confident.

I can’t look away. They’re exactly who I need to pop my cherry.

It’s a goddamn match.

Their house sits above the lake, tucked behind high hedges and slatted cedar.

Marin answers the door barefoot in a black silk robe. It clings to her waist. Her eyes are violet-blue and filled with mischief. She wears her blonde hair coiled on top of her head.
