Take an ovulation test now

You slip into the bathroom with an ovulation test kit, heart pounding with anticipation. The instructions are simple enough urinate on the stick, wait three minutes. While waiting, you set up your phone camera on the counter, pressing record as the seconds tick by.

"This is my little secret," you whisper to the camera, biting your lower lip. "Let's see just how fertile I am today."

When the timer chimes, you flip over the test with trembling fingers. Two lines appear not as dark as they could be, but definitely visible. According to the chart, you're approaching peak fertility but not quite there. The perfect risk scenario.

"Oh my god," you breathe into the camera, zooming in on the test result. "I'm right in the middle. Not completely safe, but not guaranteed either." Your voice drops to a husky whisper. "It's like Russian roulette for my womb."

You save the video to your private folder rather than sharing it, tucking the used test into your pocket. The knowledge feels intoxicating a secret power that only you possess.

In the kitchen, Jen is arranging fruit platters for the performers, wearing nothing but an oversized t-shirt. "Did you take it?" she asks, eyeing you curiously.

"Yeah," you reply noncommittally. "Just getting everything ready."

With two hours still before the guys arrive, restlessness settles over you both. Jen opens a bottle of wine, pouring two small glasses. "Liquid courage," she explains, handing you one. "Just enough to take the edge off."

One glass becomes two as you finalize preparations. The herbal supplements from yesterday seem to be working every accidental touch between you and Jen sends electricity through your body.

"We should probably get dressed," Jen suggests, though her actions contradict her words as she pulls her t-shirt over her head, standing naked in the kitchen.

"Probably," you agree, but instead you move toward her, drawn by some magnetic ****.

The first kiss is gentle, explorative. The second is hungrier. Soon you're pressed against the kitchen counter, Jen's tongue exploring your mouth as her hands roam your body. You lift yourself onto the counter, spreading your legs as she steps between them.

"We still have time," she murmurs against your neck, her fingers finding your already wet center.

You lose track of time as clothes are discarded and inhibitions abandoned. Eventually you migrate to the sofa, where Jen's head is between your thighs when the door opens unexpectedly.

"Holy shit," Alex's voice breaks through your pleasure-induced haze. Standing in the doorway are Alex, Brett, and DeShawn, all frozen in various states of surprise and arousal.

Brett recovers first, a slow smile spreading across his face. "I see the warm-up's already started."

DeShawn's eyes are fixed on where your fingers are tangled in Jen's auburn hair. "Damn, ladies. Don't stop on our account."

Jen looks up, her lips glistening with your arousal, completely unembarrassed. "You boys are early."

Alex is still staring, keys dangling forgotten from his hand. "We, uh, wanted to help set up, but..."

"Looks like you've got things well in hand," Brett finishes, setting down bags of equipment. "Or should I say, in mouth?"

You should feel exposed, caught like this, but instead a thrill runs through you. Eight men will be here soon, and your secret knowledge of your fertility status only heightens your anticipation for what's to come.
