Overnight Guest

We've been enjoying the slopes and sunshine here at our SW hideaway, along with the companionship of a diverse collection of friends.  It's been a nice, extended "winter break".

There is one friend on particular - let's call him C for now - who we met a few seasons back on a ski lift. C lives about 40 miles north of here, a back country setting.  He will wander down her from time to time to spend some time. On Friday it was for dinner at our hideaway, with another couple of locals.  There was some drinking, some sharing of some of Colorado's finest, and much laughter over dinner and desert.

Since it's a long way back home for C, Mistress generously offered C our guest bed for the night.  It's an offer we've made before, but this time C accepted.

And here's the tricky part.

Is C exclusively in the "friend zone"?  Or is he a potential lover for Mistress?

It's complicated.  And something we've talked about from time to time.

On the one hand C is an impressive physical specimen.  About 6' 2", interesting, outgoing. And seemingly available.

On the other hand, he's a little, shall we say "goofy", with an eccentric sense of humor that keeps us all laughing, but also makes him hard to take too seriously.

He seems to have taken a particular shine to Mistress.  It's to her that he texts from time to time, not me. He frequently "likes" or comments on  photos of her that slave posts. Etc. And in past conversations, we have hinted about our rather spontaneous and open sexual proclivities.

So when C took up Mistress's offer to  "spend the night", and we were all a bit tipsy at bedtime, there was certainly an opportunity for sparks to fly and Mistress to find her way into the "wrong" bedroom.

But, alas, nothing happened. In fact, before the big night, Mistress discussed her thoughts with me.

"I don't want to mess up our friendship with C, slave.  Plus, well, I'm not sure I'm really attracted to him...."

Of course that was Mistress's call to make.

The next morning, slave was up early. So was  C.  While Mistress slept in, I made him some coffee, we chatted about the night before and world affairs, and he was soon on his way, back to his remote location to the north.

When Mistress called me back to bed for our morning wake-up sex, she asked how C was and what he had to say.  I updated her, and then.....

"You know, I think I had a dream last night about C and I having sex....."

Hmmm.  How was it Mistress?

"I think it was good, slave....."

Was it the proximity, the conversation we had had considering the idea?  Was Mistress having 2nd thoughts about expanding her/our relationship with C? Or was it just another dream that was of no particular significance.

Curious to know what our readers might think.  And how does one move a potential cuckold relationship from the "friend zone" without screwing up that friendship?
