“Sex in a public setting, like in a restaurant bathroom or even just at a party. Something with other people mingling around. Have you done anything like that before?”
“Definitely not,” she replies with a shy smile.
“Would you like to try it?” I ask, my heart hammering withhope at having a little public fun. Our night outside of the sex club gave me a few ideas.
Her chest rises and falls, and she gives me an almost imperceptible nod.
I’m acing this fucking test so far.
#3: Outdoor Sex—See Calder’s hot tub
“No way. How many women have you banged in that hot tub?” She points back to the tub we passed on our walk the other day.
“None.”
“None?” She looks like she doesn’t believe me.
I shrug. “It’s just never happened. Honestly, I don’t bring that many women up here if I can help it.”
She sighs. “Okay.”
Okay? Jesus, she saidokay!
Next slide.
#4: Bondage Play
I click the next slide that shows anXover top of the text. “We can go ahead and cross this one off the list since we’ve already done that. But I’m happy to repeat if you decided you enjoyed it?”
Dakota’s eyes blink, and she nods timidly, that flush returning to her cheeks.
I smile. Okay, then. Unscripted bondage play is still on the table. I am not mad about that.
#5: Have Sex in Dakota’s house
She frowns at me, clearly unhappy with this challenge so I hold my hand up to explain myself.
“I think you need to get past your boundary there. Reclaim thehome you bought on your own. When I started renovating it, it was just your house. You bought it without Randal. You shouldn’t let him take that from you.”
She chews her lip, and the pain I see in her eyes hits me in the gut. After what she shared with me the other night at the sex club, I can understand how hard this might be for her. But I still feel strongly she should do this. He doesn’t deserve to have that much real estate in her mind and her home.
After a long pause, she gives me a resigned nod of approval, so I continue.
#6: Spontaneous Sex
“This is an exercise in confidence. Whenever the mood strikes you... even if we’re not together. If you want to fuck... all you have to do is ask, and I will make myself available for you.”
She sputters out a laugh. “How generous of you.”
“I’m a giver, Ace.” I state solemnly, pressing my hand to my chest.
She rolls her eyes in a way that feels like fucking foreplay, so I continue.
#7: Shower Sex
“Because who doesn’t like to get dirty before they get clean?”
#8: Sexting
