It started when we were 16. James and I (Beth) would text every day, flirting and joking together. Things nearly progressed a few times, but being the shy 16 year old I was, it never actually happened.
Fast forward a decade and we’d just started really talking again after a few years of just casual group interactions. At this stage James (26M) had a girlfriend (Holly, 25F), but despite this he and I quickly became close again and once again the flirting started. We started talking about sexual preferences, finding out about each other’s experiences and what we’d like to try. One thing we found we agreed on was threesome preferences- both of us leant towards two girls and one guy, with the extra girl being someone we were close to and had a good rapport with. I think at this stage we were both thinking of each other, but neither of us admitted it at the time.
