The three of us hit it off immediately and laughed and joked like we were old friends. That feeling of familiarity quickly gave way to intimacy . It didn’t take long for kissing to lead to touching and soon we were a mess of arms, legs, lips, and tongues. They were at my place for seven hoursand yet somehow the time flew by. At one point I heard the telltale clanging of pots and pans cheering on the healthcare workers signalling that it was 7:30 pm. We were in disbelief: Where had the last few hours gone? What struck me most wasn’t just the mind-blowing sex; it was how much I’d been missing being around other people. Our threesome felt like a giant exhale I didn’t realise I had needed. After my first orgasm , when I was finally able to form words again, I blurted out, “I needed that in my soul.”
