The girls were sitting in the living room chatting and laughing happily. The between 19 and 23 years old ladies, one in college and two about to join, always visited each other and had happy moments, a trend and routine that seemed to be working in adding more fun in their everyday lifestyle.

Sarah, the host and the lady of the house, came from the kitchen carrying a tray of light refreshments, "Elizabeth, you just said twelve different men." She put the refreshments on the table in the middle of a sectional sofa circling the room and took a seat, "That is like twelve different snakes in one hole."

"Sarah, it's not like they go in at the same time." Elizabeth said innocently, "It is furthermore an experience that I am continuously gaining." She smiled while taking one of the refreshments, "I will make my hubby proud."

"Girl," Ethrine joined in, "Experience should come when you are with your hubby. What should really be the case here is that you have already opened up for 12 at only 20! That is alarming!"

"Eth," Elizabeth snapped at the friend, "Men are dogs! They will sleep with anything that has a skirt. Furthermore, if one doesn't satisfy me, what am I supposed to do? I have got a life and it needs to be put right."

"The important thing you protect yourself, girl." Sarah said, "Everybody with their life is a total reality out there. You can never know when dangers knock your way."

"True." Ethrine took a sip from her glass of orange juice.

"That's right." Elizabeth as well agreed, "By the way, why were men created like that?"

"What exactly do you mean, girl?" Ethrine looked at her.

"What I mean is that I am not a whore. I know that. I only try to get the right guy and when I think I have, I share everything with him. And once he has got between my legs, that is when trouble comes- even in the slightest of misunderstandings!"

"Then don't spread your legs anymore!" Ethrine briefly shared her mind.

"Ethrine, if you experience the most sweetest thing in life, you will definitely be on my side." Elizabeth said in a reprimanding tone, "So, I wouldn’t consider a virgin's opinion in this."

"Who said I am a virgin?"

Elizabeth's eyes slightly bulged at the friend, "Oh, since when does a three or a four-inch your Jonny boy seems to have break the membrane? Get a well eight and above inch and see if you won't desperately return for more."

Sarah laughed, "Liz, I think I can answer you. There is an article I read sometimes back that did research on our dear men." She took a sip from her drink, "You see, unmarried guys are supposed to be naturally stupid. That is what nature intends. In our stage, for instance, guys are busy. Busy making their dreams come true. That is what nature intends them to do- to make a supporting life for their family in the future. Therefore, my girls, relationship matters take a small portion of concentration in their lives. If a problem or a misunderstanding occurs, it will reflect to their future, and it will mean a termagant wife or a maladjusted marriage. No man ever wants that. They always want to believe their dream future will be beautiful and happy with their wife and children. And so they will try to avoid all relationships with problems and misunderstandings for the sake of their future."

"Those asinine fools!" Elizabeth cursed, "They are that insecure? What are we supposed to do, then?"

Sarah once again sipped her pineapple refreshment drink, and before she said a word, the living room main door opened and Jacqueline showed up in the house.

"Hi, girls." She brightly said.

All the girls responded happily as she walked to sit.

"I was caught up somewhere. Sorry am late." She said with a glowing face.

"Girl, you just got laid!" Sarah intoned interestedly, "It's all over your face."

"No, I did not!" Jacqueline glowed more, "I wouldn't even be here if I had."

"Jacky, I really am jealous of you and your guy. You still seem to be going on so well for now over... one year?" Elizabeth proudly smiled.

"Who told you Jacky only gets laid from one person?" Sarah said with an arch tone of voice.

Elizabeth stared at Jacqueline, flabbergasted, "You mean you are also getting it from someone else other than Mike?"

"Sarah! Who told you that?" Jacqueline's eyes were at Sarah demandingly.

But Sarah smiled, "It's okay, Jacky. It shouldn't be a secret anymore. At least not to any one of us here. We can trust each other."

"Yeah, Jacky. We all know each other here." Ethrine said. She was wondering about the secret that the friend had.

Jacqueline smiled at the friends, feeling relaxed. She knew them quite well as they spend lots of time together and talked about all topics that could ever be imagined, and freely. They were open and free to each other, and this made them trust each other's secrets with loyalty.

"Okay, fine." She now smiled with coy reluctance, "Sarah knows about it. It is just another different man that_"

"Who can possibly be different than Mike!" Ethrine was in stunned incredulity.

"Girl, Mike and his two friends are like the modern versions of Einstein and Da Vinci." Elizabeth was at the friend in a stupefied gaze, "You really think there are men out there who are more than they are?"

"Girls, it is not that type of different." Jacqueline construed to the friends, "The different type I mean here is a married man."

"You are a mistress? Who here isn't?" Elizabeth chimed with interest, turning to Ethrine, "Maybe Eth."

"I don't want to be a marriage breaker!" Ethrine responded briskly, then turned to Jacqueline, "Girl, don't you feel any guilt or worry, especially with a guy like Michael? This guy is an heavenly sent!"

"I thought there would be." Jacqueline said in a calm and even-toned voice, "But the man is understandably reasonable. I told him I have a boyfriend, and he told me he is okay with it and that he has a wife and a family who he cares about more than anything in his life. I told him no calls, only messages and immediately deleting them, and he told me he is more okay with it because confidentiality and privacy is more important to him than me. In short, my rules work where and when I want them to, and that clears any guilt or worries."

"And this is for what, fun?" Ethrine was still astonished and curious.

The friends erupted in a gust of laughter at her naïve and callow point. She is truly not in the era!

"Fun? That is all you can think of?" Elizabeth still laughed.

"Let me help you, Eth." Jacqueline looked at the friend piteously, "If it were for fun, all the girls in the world would have been in it. Smart girls like us know exactly what we are in for. Like me, I hooked up with a business tycoon. Very successful and very obedient in whatever I ask."

"But Michael buys you whatever you want!" Ethrine's eyes still showed incredulity.

"Michael cannot yet buy me a car or fill my accounts on a weekly basis. I am building my future with this man. A strong empire with three different bank accounts." Jacqueline showed a smile of subtle charm, "With a beautiful, elegant and smart mistress, comes big-time cash."

"Tell her, girl. The future is known with uncertainties." Elizabeth lifted her glass up, "It's good to be sure of yours. Books alone can't guarantee a damn good life."

All happily laughed and cheered except for Ethrine. Even though she was not convinced, there was a level of logic and fact she saw from the friends. It is indeed good to be sure of your future. She knew of the modern era where youths suffered and hustled, not even to make a good life, but to put food on the table at the end of the day. It had become a fiercely competitive world, where youths used scheming, contriving and dishonesty to make a living. Even those who were learned and educated, with lack of employment, idleness, desperation and hopelessness, also used the means. Indeed books alone can't guarantee a good life. She didn't want to go through difficult and arduous means to get to a good life. She didn't want what she saw the youths go through to happen in her life, and if there was an easy means to guarantee one's future, then she would go by the means. The only barrier was to explore all doubts and be convinced that it was an agreeable and effective means.

"But you still have to sleep with him, right?" She curiously stared at Jacqueline.

The friends once again laughed.

"It has to be mutual benefit, and it can't just be looking pretty and charming on your part." Jacqueline smiled at her, "Sleeping with him won't be a problem, and in fact, it will be an all advantage to you." She sat up looking at the friend, "Eth, a mature-sized cock is the best experience ever. It touches every corner and surface in there, and it usually comes with multiple orgasms. Therefore, my dear, it will be building your future and experiencing great sex. That is how all the advantage will be on you."

"And by the way." Elizabeth added, "You have been telling us the frequent failures of your Jonny boy and how you desperately wish to help him so that he can... last longer." When Ethrine nodded, Elizabeth continued, "Well, the truth is that these boys spend too much time masturbating resulting in premature ejaculations. He gets on top of you and after one minute he is seriously done. This never happens with married men. They stay on top there until you wonder what is keeping them long. And as you wonder, you also get multiple orgasms that last for eternity."

"And you also won't have a choice of faking it like in the case of your beloved Dan." Sarah also added her experience in the topic. The three girls seemed experts in the area, until becoming good teachers at it, "Married men are experienced and give you hot sweet-pain shots that will make your entire body vibrate with pleasure. That is the wonder of a mature, experienced cock."

Ethrine was now on the verge of conviction. Ever since she started coitus arrangements with her boyfriend, she had always been left unfulfilled whenever they were in the act. When she was with the friends and talked about sexual matters, she always felt out of topic and odd one out as some of the meanings and experiences her friends talked about had never happened to her.

She had never talked with the lover about the problem mainly because she didn't know how to start the conversation. The only choice she always had was to accept the limit her lover attained, which always left her unsatisfied and hopeless.

But now as the friends talked of another dimension of lovemaking, which had been fantasy and imagination to her, her mind split to the possibility of trying and experiencing this other side.

"But... I love Dan. If I do this_"

"I love Michael, too." Jacqueline said, coming out firm and assenting, "In fact, I love him too much that I am deeply sure he is the man for me for the rest of my life. What I am doing is temporary. There is absolutely no feelings attached, and so I can get out at any time I want. I am only attending to my future. That is it. And there is no way Mike is going to know about this. It is called working smart."

Ethrine looked convinced. Her lips curved into a contented smile, "So, I can get anything I want when I get one?"

"Easy there, girl." Jacqueline's eyes were on her cautiously, "It is true you can get anything you want, but not from all. You don't just go to any. There are those that are maniacs. They will call you dozens of times, want to know your whereabouts every minute of the day, send you hundreds of messages and give you undivided attention. This is a man who wants to destroy his marriage through the obsession he has for you. Remember we are not marriage breakers." She said this with certainty, but there was a mocking contempt clouding her face.

"The man here is one who only wants to unwind and clear his head and have fun after lots of business work. He will not care so much about you, send you gifts or frequently uses his phone on you. He will only mind about you when you are together, and that maybe will be twice or thrice in a week. He will understand if you have a commitment or if you are busy with your studies. In short, you will not be that important to him and he will not be pressuring you in the arrangement. He has a family that he loves and cherishes. That is what is important to him. You are only his fun and pleasure when he needs you."

"Are there really men like that?" Ethrine stared in wonderment.

"There are and are the men we have as their mistresses." Sarah said, "And to add more on Jacky's, these are not men who get jealous of your bf and start asking questions or concerns when you say that you are busy or occupied. He may even tell you how wonderful his wife is and how he has a lovely family when you are together. But you have to be careful not to go deep. Don't get to know him well or get concerned with his life. It will only bring feelings, and that is not what this is about. There shouldn't be any strings attached. You will only be securing your future and he will only be after pleasure. That is what this is about."

Ethrine's face lit up with a satisfied smile. She never knew of mistress affairs that didn't break marriages. All she knew was that all mistresses destroyed marriages. However, this one looked logically different without any harm. It feels right and agreeable. She now felt ready to secure her future.
