“Maybe there’s something on TV?” She grabbed the remote from the nightstand and clicked it on. The sound hit them first, and then the images made it clear. It was two naked people fucking. “Oh!” Amanda was surprised. Daniel just stared. She turned the channel. It was two women locked in a 69. She turned the channel again. A man was sucking another man’s cock while a woman massaged his back and encouraged him to go deeper. Through five more channels it was more variations of the same. Then they were back to the first channel. The TV was all porn, all the time, nothing else. “Well…I shouldn’t be surprised.” She turned to Daniel. “Do you have a preference? Which one do you want to watch?” Her manner was very matter-of-fact.
Daniel could see she was teasing him, challenging him. “I uh…well…I don’t really need to watch any of them.”
“What, don’t you watch porn? I thought all guys liked porn.” She enjoyed teasing him.
“Yeah, I’ve seen it. But…I mean…you know.”
“What? Because I’m here. Don’t worry about me. Which one do you want? Which one do you think is hottest?” She flipped through the channels.
“I mean, none of it really. What I want to…I’d rather not, if you don’t mind.”
“OK. I just thought it might be kind of interesting to see what kind of porn you like.” She turned off the TV, still acting very nonchalant, but enjoying his nervous reaction.
Daniel tried to give it back, and not let her get the best of him. “If you must know, I’m really into that midget furry porn. That’s pretty niche. I didn’t see anything like that.”
“Ooooh! I never figured my little Danny for a kinky boy!” Amanda teased. She ran her fingers playfully up his chest. Daniell still had the one leg pulled up to hide his erection and now, Amanda realized it. She hadn’t looked that closely before. “Sorry.” She looked for a quick distraction. Finding none, she announced, “OK lights out.”
She reached over and turned out the lamp on the nightstand. All the mirror views went away. The room was black. He felt and heard her turn back into bed and scoot down under the sheet. At least this place was quiet. For the longest time, they heard only the sound of their breathing and rustling around with pillows and the sheet, trying to find a good position. They did not touch. The bed was big enough that they could avoid each other. Eventually, the silence was too much.
Amanda spoke first. “What’s the matter, can’t sleep?”
“Not yet. You?’
“Obviously not yet. Are you still too turned on from all the porn?”
“Not exactly.”
“What then?” Daniel did not respond. “Look, if you need to take care of it, it’s OK.”
“What do you mean?”
“You know. If your dick is too hard, and you can’t sleep cuz it won’t go down, just go ahead and take care of it. Pretend like I’m not even here. I can’t see anything, anyway. I know you jerk off. All guys jerk off. It’s no big deal. Just go ahead and get it done. Don’t mind me. I can turn the porn back on if you like.”
Then Daniel got brave. He held a secret card and if she was going to go “public” about him jerking off, well…he surprised himself and asked, “What about you?”
