Some years ago before the pandemic, I (M) was living in a condo near my workplace. My life was stable but I was craving for intimacy. I wasn't ready to pursue someone nor hire a companion for the night. I was ranting about my situation to my best(F)riend and told her about wanting someone to sleep with, cuddle with, without any further expectations.
Some weeks went by, on a random weeknight, she messaged me, asking if I was still looking for an arrangement. She said my idea felt relaxing and that she was also looking for some warmth when sleeping. That same night, she came over to my place but the atmosphere was awkward. It wasn't the same light vibe we had around each other. Since there was no way to build up to it, we went straight to bed with me lying on my back. She positioned herself on my side, hugging me with her arm and leg over my body. I placed my arm around her and she layed her head on my bicep, using it as a pillow. I could hear my heart pounding at this point. After what seemed like forever, she broke the ice by making small talk. All of a sudden, we were back to being best friends, talking to each other about anything and everything, only this time we were cuddled up. That was one of the best sleep I had in a long time.
This arrangement lasted for quite some time. Whenever our schedules permitted, she would come over and we just talked and cuddled. Sometimes, I even acted as the small spoon for fun. Then after a few months, before we slept, I unintentionally kissed her forehead. She asked what that was all about and I said I didn't know. I couldn't see her reaction with the lights closed but she became silent afterwards. I felt her breath being heavier than usual. So I slowly made my way down until we were face to face. I asked her if there was anything wrong, nudging her nose with mine. She said everything was fine while laughing at what I did. But everything went back to the same atmosphere we had when we started.
I didn't know what to do so I just remained there. We were face to face, cuddling with our limbs draped over each other, semmingly trying to sleep. In the next few minutes, I felt like her face was closer than before. I didn't mind so I moved my face a bit closer too, until I was able to feel her breath. It was heavy and fast. So I kept inching my lips towards hers until they were an inch apart. Since it was never part of the arrangement, I didn't want to make the first move. She shifted a little, letting her lips touch mine before pulling back to the same close distance as before. I did the same but as I was pulling back, she started kissing me passionately. I wasn't one to back down so I kissed her back. We were like two animals who were finally let out of our cages, kissing so sloppily. I started exploring her body with my hands as she did with mine. After 15 minutes of making out while groping each other, we finally calmed down. We talked about ehat just happened and agreed to make it part of our setup.
Having cleared the air, we went back to our routine and slept soundly. The next morning, I woke up to her laying on top of me, showering me with kisses. She said she really enjoyed last night and was looking forward to more nights like that. I said the same and so, our arrangement of being friends who cuddle and make out continued...
