Kim tags along, despite not being fond of Jen, Jason, or Kit, and not knowing Cindy has also been invited. (MMFf, mf, bi, anal, tor, orgy) *** Author's note: For fans of the story, I must apologize for the inordinate delay in getting part four posted. Since posting the first three parts, life has been very disorganized, and there was a stretch where I was without internet for quite some time. Hopefully part five won't encounter the same types of delays. *** Part 4: The Inhibition Game Chapter 1 After that, things between me and Kim cooled off a lot. Which isn't to say we stopped talking. We just needed to figure out where we stood with each other, which was cause for confusion on my part, considering the very mixed signals she'd been giving me the last few months. Sara, fortunately, was fairly successful in acting as an intermediary between us, else I think we would have fought a lot more than the occasional inconsequential argument, and I think we both appreciated her for that. But until me and Kim were able to come to terms with each other and our respective relationships with Sara, Sara was likely to remain as the centerpiece of the tensions between us, which I felt bad about. I didn't want to be coming between them, and despite what they both said, it was obvious that's how Kim felt about it, now that we had a better understanding of how she was feeling. On the other hand, things between Sara and me remained somewhat stilted, despite our having reconciled what I'd done to her. I didn't think it would be something that would be smoothed over quickly, and that was a saddening thought. I loved her dearly, and I think my sudden gentleness was beginning to get to her, since she was used to me being the dominant one, but she accepted it, at least, which helped. Some things we didn't need to talk about to understand each other, and that was one of them. Part of the problem, too, was Cindy. She'd stung Kim pretty harshly, and despite her repeated attempts to talk with her and apologize, Kim refused absolutely to have anything to do with her. She even went out of her way to avoid the Bull Horn, though that didn't stop Sara and me. We managed to catch Cindy just before her lunch on one of our visits, and we sat in the parking lot and talked while we ate. "Can you please convince Kim to talk with me?" Cindy pleaded. "I did a lot of stupid things to her and I don't want her hating me." "That's easier said than done, sometimes," Sara said. "It took her months before she finally told me and Mike how she really felt about our relationship. I doubt she'll warm up to you again anytime soon." "Fuck," Cindy sighed, flicking a charred french fry into the parking lot. "Everything's going ok with you two, though?" "Except for Kim, yeah," I said. I grimaced at my soggy fries and dumped them in the trash next to me. "I'd been hoping things would be easier with her, but it doesn't look like they will be." "Kind of like they're not easy with me, hm?" I snorted. "You're mercurial, but you're at least willing to talk." "Kim does talk, Mike," Sara said, plucking up the sprig of parsley that was sitting on her fries and dismantling it. "She's just not good at it. She's not... She isn't a thinker like you and me, so she has a hard time putting things into words." "I get that a lot," Cindy sighed. "At least when I'm not taking my meds, anyway. Which is why I was such a bitch to all of you the other day, by the way. You happened to get me when I hadn't taken them for a few weeks because I wanted to see if I could manage without them, because I don't like them. They make me too mellow, but it's either that or I end up doing things like I did to you and fucking things up. I'm sorry for that, and especially sorry about what I did to Kim. I was a real bitch to her, and I want to apologize to her for it." "I can't promise I'll change her mind, but I will try. I'm being go-between between her and Mike a lot lately. One more won't make a difference." "Should I keep trying to call her?" "Yeah. It'll sink in eventually with her. She'll probably be pretty pissy at first, though." "That's fine. I won't blame her for it, after what I did. If you'd gotten me before I hit bottom, I would have." She turned to me. "What's going on with that party you were talking about?" "Week before school starts again," I said. "Probably going to be at Jen's place, since she lives with her brother and we won't have to deal with parents." "He another one of your socially disfunctional?" I paused a moment, almost laughing at the understatement of that. "You could say that. Though I guess he's somewhat functional, since he's a professional tattooist." "Cool beans! Tattoo artists are pretty cool. At least the ones I've met have been. So there will be drinks, then?" "I don't know. Probably not. Jason, that's Jen's brother, isn't a big drinker. He'd probably get us some if we asked him to, but I'm not sure that'll happen." "'k. I'll bring some then. I can make some pretty good drinks if I have the right stuff for 'em." "You're going to come, then?" "Yeah. It'll get me out of the house, at least, and I might be able to apologize to Kim, if she's there." "She will be," Sara laughed. "She loves parties. So long as we don't mention you'll be there, she'll come." "She's that pissed with me?" "You were a pretty major bitch to her," I pointed out. "She had a point when she told you you weren't listening to her." Cindy sighed and muttered, flicking another fry into the parking lot. "So she's going to be like me and not make it easy, isn't she?" "Not when she's feeling hurt or slighted, no," Sara said. "She's always been like that, but most of the time it blows over. It's just a matter of how." "Like the other day," from me, thinking of how she'd tried to beat me up. "Like the other day, yeah. She doesn't usually do that, though, and that's part of the problem. She's hiding from herself, I think." "I could give her lessons in that," Cindy said, making a face at the rest of her fries and handing them to me to dump in the trash. "Maybe I shouldn't be avoiding getting involved with her. Might be able to keep her from doing some of the stupid things I did." "You have some work to do before she'll let you that close." Cindy just sighed and said, "Once again, Cindy has been stupid and fucked things over by not being able to control herself." She looked at her watch and growled. "And it's back to work with me. I'm getting tired of this place. Need to find something different." She climbed slowly to her feet, and Sara and I followed suit. "But before I clock back in to the world of fast food-" She pulled Sara over and gave her a hug and a deep kiss, then did the same with me. "That's a thank you for not turning your backs on me after what I did. Most of the people I meet who see me like that end up disappearing. You really don't know how fast you get tired of that until it happens to you." "Maybe we just want to use you for sex," Sara said playfully, smiling. Cindy apparently didn't see it as a joke, though, because she pulled back. Not physically, but it was in how she held herself and the look on her face. "Don't ever say that to me again," she said, holding her eyes on Sara. "I am dead serious. NEVER say that to me again. I've been used more than I like to think about, and it hurts. It makes you feel unimportant. It makes you feel worthless, like you're not a person or you're less than human. I don't care if you were joking. NEVER say it to me again." Sara pursed her lips and nodded, then gave Cindy a hug. "I'm sorry. I'll remember that." Cindy nodded and kissed Sara again, then bit at her lip. "I'll see you two at the party if I don't see you again before?" "Naturally," I said. "Good. I have some ideas for stuff we can do." She laughed and grinned, then winked and turned before we could ask what she had in mind. Chapter 2 Kim's birthday was a week before the party, but the three of us had decided, wordlessly, not to do anything big, even though she was turning sixteen. I took her to get her license, giving her the money to pay for all the beauracratic nonsense, as my gift to her, for which she jumped me and gave me the opportunity to give her another prolonged kiss. Apparently, that was a signal that she was more willing to accept my presence, since she stopped arguing with me as much and would actually talk with me sometimes if there was something on her mind. For my part, I still didn't understand her sometimes, though I think that was maybe something she did intentionally to keep things at her level of comfort before she was willing to let things open up a bit more. Sara was definitely happy to not be acting as go- between anymore, or at least not as much, though I could tell she wasn't liking having to split herself between Kim and me. I think we both realized, though, that once Kim and I finally came to terms with each other, that wouldn't be necessary, but when that would be was impossible to tell. But it was encouraging, at least, that we were getting along again fairly well so soon. I went off to Jen's work the day before the party to handle last minute details and such, and Sara tagged along. "Greetings to the absentees!" Jen called when she spotted us, grinning. She hugged both me and Sara, though Sara obviously hadn't been expecting it. "What's up?" "Just came by to say hi and see if there's anything we need to do for the party before tomorrow," I said, twining an arm around Sara's waist. "Um... Bring some good porn?" She laughed. "I don't know. I've given up planning stuff for parties because they usually don't go as planned anyway, especially not with our little group. Socially unfunctional and all, ya know. Are you going to be bringing your new friend?" "Indeed. She's going to bring drinks and ideas, which I'm sure is going to be more than enough to make things interesting." "Drinks and ideas, eh? She say what kind of ideas?" "If experience counts for anything," Sara said, "it will probably lead to a lot of sex." "Hence the drinks, I imagine. Probably drinking games." Jen leaned on the counter and stared at it, thinking while she played with one of her earrings. "Would she be pissed if I stopped things if they cross certain lines?" "She's trying to uncross certain lines herself, so probably not." I glanced at Sara. "Though I haven't ever seen her drunk, so I don't know for sure." Jen nodded and said, "All right. There's just some things I'd rather not have happen." "Just tell her that and she'll snap to pretty quick. I think I can guarantee that." Sara nodded, leaning her head against my shoulder. "She's had a lot of unfortunate experience with stuff she'd rather not have had happen." "How so?" Jen asked, raising her eyebrows. "Better to ask her. She'd probably get pissed with me if I told you." "Point taken." She slapped her palms flat against the counter and straightened. "So! Moving on! The only other person I was able to convince to come was Kit, but whether or not he shows up remains to be seen. I think his current addiction of choice is World of Warcraft, so I have my doubts about whether or not he'll remember what the time is, let alone what day, and actually come over." "Jason'll be there?" "Duh. You think he wouldn't be? When has he not been at a party with me? Besides, it's at our place. It's not like he'd leave or anything." "True, that." "You going to be bringing Kim, too?" "We're tricking her into reconciling with Cindy," Sara said. "Cindy's the new friend?" Sara nodded and said, "Yeah. Cindy was a real bitch to Kim and feels bad about it. She's been trying to apologize, but Kim's stubborn and refuses to talk with her." "Do they have a thing between them?" Jen furrowed her brow. "Like, sexual?" I felt Sara blink on my shoulder. I hadn't been expecting that question either, and wasn't sure how to handle it. I knew Jen wouldn't care that Kim was a lesbian, but Kim would definitely care if Jen knew. "Why do you ask?" I figured that was the best out, though it still implied a 'yes' to her question. "I don't know. It just seems to make sense, 'cause I've never seen Kim even so much as flirt with a guy, which makes me think she's not interested in guys at all, which means she's probably into women instead." "If we told you yes," Sara said, lifting her head off my shoulder, "but it never got off the ground, would you never say a word of it to anyone else, especially Kim and Cindy?" Jen simply shrugged. "I don't gossip. It's stupid. But yeah. Vow of silence and all that. You have my word on it. I really don't care one way or the other which way she swings, and I'm not going to interfere with it. I'm not into women myself, but I'm not worried about having to fend her off or anything, since I doubt I'm her type." "No," I said, laughing. "You're really not. You freak her out." Jen cackled at that and said, "Now you have me so tempted to get all decked out for the party just to get a reaction out of her." She looked over at the main doors of the store as the entry chime went off and swore under her breath. I looked over and saw an elderly couple shambling in. "God damnit. I hate these two. They come in all the time and ask all kinds of stupid questions and then never buy anything, but they get all bitchy and file complaints if we leave them to fend for themselves so we can deal with other customers." "Dump them on someone else?" "I'm the only one here, other than the sky cams." She grimaced and sighed. "I'll see you tomorrow, then?" "Definitely. All four of us." "Good." She hugged me and Sara again. "Actually, bring some food with you when you come over? Something good. Pizza or fried chicken or something? I'll handle soda and stuff." "Done." "Woot! See you tomorrow, then!" She turned and headed over to the elderly couple, putting on the fake plastic cheer with a, "Hello again. How can I help you today?" Sara laid her head on my shoulder again as we left. Chapter 3 "Partyyyyyy!" Kim cried, grabbing my and Sara's hands and trying to bounce in a circle with us. "Party! Party! Party! Let's go!" "It's not for another two hours," Sara said, exasperated. Kim had been hyper-active all day in anticipation of the party at Jen's, and it was getting annoying. We were currently in the mall, killing time because we had nothing better to do. Except maybe sex, but I doubted the potential of that to curb, let alone distract, Kim's current enthusiasm. "But I wanna goooooo!" Sara made an annoyed sound and stopped, grabbing Kim and spinning her around so they were facing each other. "Are we going to have to gag you and tie you up to keep you quiet until then?" I looked over at Sara. Apparently she was more annoyed than I had thought, to say something like that to her sister. Normally she wasn't phased by Kim's hyperness. Kim was obviously surprised and just stared at her. "Sorry," she said meekly. "I'll try to be quieter." Sara sighed and pulled Kim in for a hug. "I'm sorry, hon. I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I'm just..." Nervous is what I knew she wanted to say, knowing Kim would probably not take well to being forced to interact with Cindy again, but she didn't. "I'm just wanting some calm for a little bit so I'm not feeling drained before we even get to the party. Can you do that? Please?" Kim nodded with an, "Ok. Promise." And she was calm for a while. At least until I called ahead for the pizzas, anyway. "So who's going to be there?" she asked, bouncing in the back seat. "You, me, and Sara," I said. "Well, duh! But who else!? Who? Who?" "Jen and Jason. Maybe Kit. Probably one or two others." "Kit? Who's that?" "The guy with two dozen piercings and wears fishnets all the time." "Oh." She sounded less than excited about that. "You have really weird friends, Mr. Man." "Present company included?" I glanced in the mirror at her and laughed. "Hey! I'm normal! So there!" She stuck her tongue out at me. "Normal people don't have sex with their sisters," Sara said, ducking. "Hey! That's... Fuck!" "I won't be surprised if that happens at the party," I said. "What do you mean? There's not going to be, like, sex games, is there?" "It's a possibility." "I'm not fucking any guys." I almost laughed at that. Not like we would ask her to because we knew she wouldn't. "No worries. I'm pretty sure there's going to be someone around you can have some fun with." "Sis, but I don't want to do anything with her with other people around. Except you, I mean." "It depends on who shows up and what happens. Maybe you can get Jen drunk enough to experiment with women. I don't know." "Um... No. She's too creepy." "Why'd you want to come to this party, then?" Sara asked, half-turning to look at Kim. "You knew it would mostly be people who aren't socially accepted." "I did not! You never told me!" She mock pouted. "And I wanted to go to a party with you two. We've never partied together before." "Sara's birthday and the threesome don't count?" I asked. I had a hard time keeping a straight face with that. "No! Because it... Damn it! Stop it! You keep twisting things on me." Sara opened her mouth to say something, thought better of it, and just said, "Um..." instead. Kim stared at her sister for a second, then beat her hands on the seat, blushing. "No! Not like that! Damn it! Fuck. I'll just shut up. You're too smart for me." Sara dropped her seat back before Kim could start really pouting, turning to look at her. "None of that," she said. "You know I don't think you're stupid, hon, and you know I don't treat you like you are. Don't go saying you are." "But-" "No." She put a finger over Kim's lips. "Hush, hon. Just because you're not good with innuendo like me and Mike doesn't mean you're stupid, ok?" She took her finger away as Kim nodded. "It makes me feel stupid, though. It's like you're making fun of me or something." "We're not making fun of you, Kim," I said, shaking my head. "We wouldn't do that to you. We don't want to alienate you. We're just teasing." "Well stop it! Stop teasing me. It's not nice." I turned briefly to look her, then reached back and took one of her hands, giving it a light squeeze. Sara grabbed her other one and kissed it, nodding. "All right," I said, followed by Sara's, "I'm sorry." "Just don't take it personally if we do from time to time?" I continued, returning my hand to the wheel. "Because we don't mean it to make you feel bad. We do love you." "I know," Kim said, and she leaned down and gave Sara a kiss. "I love you guys, too." She bounced and beat her free hand on the seat next to her. "So when're we going to get to the party!? Shouldn't we have been there by now? What time is it? I wanna be there already!" Chapter 4 We showed up early to Jen's simply to appease Kim and keep her from driving us crazy with her constant, "Are we there yet!?" questions. She hopped up to the front door ahead of me and Sara, then stood there bouncing. Jen apparently had seen us pull into her drive, because she opened the door as Kim bounced aside to make room for me and the pizzas. She gave Kim an odd look, matched by Kim's own, though Kim's was more comical than serious. I noticed she'd given in to her impulse to get all decked out to shock Kim, because she was covered in jewelry and black lace, along with her corset, black makeup, collar, and boots. "You're insane," Jen said to Kim, then laughed and stepped aside, motioning us in. "Welcome to the spider's den. Jason's around somewhere." "I'm in here, wench," we heard from the living room. "You walked right by me, y'know." "Yes," Jen called back, and Jason laughed. "And don't call me wench, whore." "All right, crack slut." "That's better." She spun and headed down the short hall to the kitchen, holding her arms out and over her head and bobbing her head side to side with each step. "Put the pizza's in here until people show up. Kit called about five minutes ago saying he'd be here, so it won't be just us, at least. He never said when he'd show up, though." Sara followed after me as I trailed Jen, and Kim tagged along, obviously feeling out of place. Which was understandable, considering how Jen and Jason had decorated the place. They had a lot of Giger prints up, and there were Kali statues with black candles sitting on stands to either side of the television, and a giant, gothic mirror hung behind them. Jason had painted a mural on the opposite wall, a dragon sitting on a pile of skulls with fire and brimstone in the background. The kitchen was probably the only room they hadn't really decorated, since it was relatively normal looking. Not that we stayed there long. We settled in the living room, Sara and me taking the two remaining seats on the couch, Kim taking the recliner, and Jen dropping to the floor next to me by the arm of the sofa. I noticed Kim kept looking at the die-cast vampire skull that was sitting on the television or at the blinds on which Jen or Jason had painted a giant red pentagram. Either those or Jason, who was pierced, tattooed, wearing grungy black, and had a double-braided goatee and a shaved head. She was definitely out of place here. "Miss Social doesn't like the spider's den, does she?" Jen asked, watching Kim. Kim looked at her and made a face. "No," she said, shaking her head. "How can you like stuff like this? It's... freaky." "Depressing? Morbid? Macabre? Disturbing? Yeah. That's why." "Ease up, Jen," I told her. She glanced at me and nodded, leaning back against the arm of the sofa. "Sorry. Just in the mood for baiting. That couple came by again today while I was at work, so I'm kind of pissed off. Sometimes I'd like to ask them if they're ever going to actually buy anything or if they're just going to take up space other customers could be using, just to see what they'd do. My luck, they're probably the damn owners of the place." She smacked my leg. "You know, you're really damned lucky to have that art job just drop into your lap like that." "What do you do?" Jason asked me. "Anything I could get into?" "Ever the opportunist, huh?" I laughed. "It's illustration for a local publisher. Fantasy and sci-fi stuff, mostly magazine stuff, but I've done pieces for a couple of books, too." "Awesome, man. How's it pay?" "Well enough, I guess. I need to do more if I want to support myself with it, which really wouldn't be hard. It's mainly black and whites they want, and I can turn those out no problem." "Rock. I love jobs like that." He laughed. "If you want to make up some tattoos for me, I'd pay you a pittance." "Only a pittance? I've gotta eat, man! I'm a starving artist!" We both laughed, and Sara smiled. Jen climbed to her feet and wandered into the kitchen, returning with cups and some two liters. "My turn to fetch," Jason said, catapulting out of the couch as a knock came on the front door. He trotted into the front hall and his, "Well, hellooooo." followed soon after. "A beautiful woman with drinks is here!" he called to us. "Does she belong to Mike and Sara?" "I do." That was definitely Cindy, and Kim snapped her attention in that direction, everything else forgotten. "Whoa," Jen said, giving Kim a surprised look. "Miss Social here is riveted." "You never told me Cindy would be here," Kim said to me and Sara, her attention still on the direction of Cindy's voice. I couldn't tell if she was pissed about that because she wasn't wanting to deal with Cindy or pissed because it was Cindy and she wanted to jump her and we didn't tell her she would be here. "You never asked," I answered as Cindy came into view. She gave a quick look to Kim but otherwise avoided eye- contact with her. She was holding a cooler full of bottles and dressed in a halter top and the same mini- skirt she'd worn to Sara's birthday party. She was wearing a bra, but whether or not she was wearing panties I couldn't tell, and she had a backpack on. Jason appeared behind her, making no attempt to hide his ogling. He caught Jen's look and just shrugged, giving a bemused smile. "You can put that in the kitchen," Jen directed. "We don't have much to mix with, though." "That's ok," Cindy said. "I have everything I need right here." She continued on down the hall into the kitchen, and Kim stood and went in after her. I tensed, ready to move fast at the first sound of the explosion I expected to follow, but there wasn't one. Either Cindy had managed to immobilize Kim before she was able to do anything, which I didn't think was what happened, since there would still have been a lot of noise, or Kim was assaulting Cindy with a kiss, which seemed more likely, but also not as likely. Jen was looking at me with her eyebrows raised, wondering what was going on. I just shook my head as Jason fell back onto the sofa next to me. We could hear Kim and Cindy talking, but couldn't make out what they were saying, which is probably what they wanted. "Well," Jason said, clapping his hands together between his knees. "My policy is stay out of spats if I'm not part of them. I think this is one of those covered by that policy." He gave a decisive nod, then looked at me and Sara. "Who's going to be the responsible one and stay sober? Or you gonna crash here? 'cause Jen and I sure as hell aren't gonna stay sober with alcohol around." "I would say Kim," I started, and Sara interrupted and finished for me before I could get any further. "But she refuses to turn down new experiences when she's at a party, and she only just got her license, anyway." "Right. Crashing here. Cool beans. I'll dig out the air mattress and some blankets. What about your friend?" "Cindy? You'd have to ask her. She could go either way." "Where'd you meet her, man? She's well out of high school, and she doesn't seem like our crowd." "Movies," I said. "And she's most definitely our crowd. Trust me. She's-" "Shut up, Mike," Cindy said from the kitchen. "Just shut up. They'll learn on their own." "Testy," Jen finished for me. "Damn right, woman," from Cindy, standing right behind Jen, and Jen jumped, startled. Cindy grinned and moved in to kiss Jen when she turned, then leaned against the door frame that let onto the kitchen while Jason laughed. Jen made a face at being kissed and stepped away while Cindy looked to the rest of us. "So who else is going to show?" "Kit, probably," Sara said. "Or probably not. He's pretty unpredictable about stuff like that." "Right. So six drinks for right now. What all do you want?" "Got stuff for a tequila sunrise?" Jason asked. Cindy nodded and kissed at him, and he raised one hand, first and pinky fingers up, and headbanged. "Rock! Those things are the shit." "Sex on the beach!" Jen cried, and made a purring sound. "Kinky girl, check." She grabbed at her crotch when Jen wasn't looking and licked her lips at her. "How right you are!" Jason laughed, and Sara and I did the same. "I'm not even drunk yet," Jen said as she turned, putting her hands behind her back and bending forward at the waist to peer at Cindy. "Cut the crap until I am, pixie bitch." She didn't wait for Cindy's reaction, spinning instead and hopping over to drop into the recliner. "Feisty AND kinky," Cindy purred. "Yum!" She grinned and looked at Sara and me. "S and M?" "Holy shit!" Jen cried, bursting out laughing. The rest of us did the same while Cindy's grin widened. "Oh my god, that's GREAT! S and M!" "We're never going to get rid of that now," I said, pointing accusingly at Cindy when I was able to talk again, then started laughing again. "Lovely, da'ling," she drawled at me, and mimed snapping a whip. "That's what I have you listed as on my phone. S and M. I love it." She laughed. "So what do you want to drink, lovers?" "What do you have?" "Tell me what you want and I can tell you if I have it or can make it." I looked at Sara, who shrugged. "Whatever," she said. "Just don't make it too strong." "No worries there, gorgeous. Mike?" "Surprise me." "Right. Tequila sunrise for the tattoo man, sex on the beach for kinky goth grrl, screaming orgasm for the nympho, and a bit of whatever for Mr. Man." "That's MY name for him, damnit!" Kim said from the kitchen. "We can share it, lovely," Cindy said as she turned and disappeared back into the kitchen to make drinks. Apparently Kim wasn't quite as averse to seeing Cindy again as she had been letting on if she was willing to accept such endearments from her already. Chapter 5 Another knock came on the door as the sounds of Cindy pulling out bottles and glasses started, and then it opened, Kit's voice following. "None o' you go bitchin' I'm outta the house, hear? 'cause I'm in one again. It just ain't mine." "Kit!" Jen cried, launching herself out of the chair and bounding into the front hall to greet him. "Hey girl," Kit laughed, and the sound of Jen's hopping preceded the two of them as they came back into the living room. "We had bets going on whether or not you'd show," I said to him. He laughed as he dropped to the floor to sit in front of a book shelf, running his fingers through his hair to get it out of his face. He was wearing his rings, I noticed. Jen reclaimed the recliner. "Man, you guys have too little faith in me. You really think I'd pass up on this?" "What's your poison, Kit?" Cindy called from the kitchen. "Whoa! Drinks, too?" "Tell me what you want and I can probably make it." "Awesome! Gimme a mudsling." "Mudslide." "Whatever. Chocolate liquor! Don't care what it's called. It's fucking chocolate." "Mudslide for chocolate boy, check." One of the fridge doors opened, then closed again, an ice tray clinking on the counter a second later. "Where's the blender, goth grrl? I need crushed ice, since you don't have vanilla ice cream." "Hold off on the drinks, woman," Jason called. "Jesus. We should at least eat first so we're not drinking on empty stomachs." He climbed to his feet and stepped into the kitchen, returning with the pizzas I'd brought and shaking his head. He slid the top box onto the floor, the second next to it, and set the third beside that. Cindy came into the living room as he settled back onto the sofa, Kim following behind her and obviously trying to refrain from hanging all over her. Cindy had a glass in one hand, full of layered alcohol, and she settled on the sofa arm next to Sara, Kim taking the floor beside her. "What the hell is that?" Jen asked, peering at the drink. "Sanity's Rainbow," Cindy said, twirling her drink slightly. "My own creation. And before you ask, I refuse to make it for anyone else here. It'll fuck you up if you have no tolerance for alcohol and you'll be worshipping the shit pot the rest of the night." She studied Kit for a few moments, taking in his long hair, rings, fishnets, piercings, and tattered black clothes. "You goth people really complicate party games that involve removing clothing, you know that?" Jason laughed as Kit gave Cindy a confused look. "What the hell would you know about being goth, pixie bitch?" Jen demanded. I could tell immediately that was not a good way to have asked that, as Cindy's demeanor changed, hinting at the anger I'd seen in her during Sara's birthday party. She gave Jen a flat stare and simply held it. Either Jen didn't see Cindy preparing for lashing out or she was braver or stupider than I had thought to remain unphased. "Gother than thou, my lovely little corset queen," Cindy said, snapping each word out. "I've been through darkness and pain you would not understand even a bit. I doubt you've been abused. I doubt you've been used. I doubt you've been gang raped. I doubt you've been an addict. I doubt you've had everyone you thought were friends turn away from you when you needed them most. I doubt you've attempted suicide. I doubt you've ever been in a situation where you had no other way out than that. I doubt you've been excommunicated from your family. I doubt you understand the difference it can make being given unconditional love from even one person. I doubt you understand the strength it takes to refuse to give up after being through literal hell. I doubt you understand how much you're scarred after being through all of that. Do not talk to me about understanding goth, because I've been there and been extremely disenchanted. What you call goth is dead to me." Jen, intelligently, was silent to all Cindy had just said, but neither did she apologize for being confrontational. "There's more than the angsty crap and the image, ya know," Kit said, shifting to sit cross-legged while reaching forward and opening each of the pizza boxes. "It's philosophical, too, but most people ain't gonna see past the image." "Like our parents," Jason said. "Me and Jen. They kicked us both out. Me because I'm this-" he spread his arms and pointed at himself, "-and Jen for the same reason. Among others." I gave Jen a quizzical look. That was news to me. "It didn't exactly help that you basically told them to fuck off when they tried to argue with you about going to school for tattooing," Jen said. "When'd they kick you out?" I asked. "Couple weeks ago. I've been wanting to tell you, but you've been too lost in Sara to be reachable, you jack ass, so we haven't been able to get together and just hang." "Drop it," Cindy said, sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose. "God damn. I came here to have a good time and not have to think or get into crap like this. Let's just eat, get drunk, and have some fun with games." "You better be eating something to go with that drink, woman," Jason said, counting the stripes in Cindy's glass. "I count five different liquors there." "Give me something and I will," Cindy answered, pointing at the supreme. "And there's six. The top layer's Bacardi and Morgan's. The others are Irish cream, Kahlua, Malibu, and Jäger." As if that were a cue of some sort, we all grabbed pizza and started eating. Cindy nursed her drink while she ate, but didn't seem to be at all phased by it, since she was able to easily hold up her end of whatever conversation she was part of without losing any of her wit. Invariably, she managed to take whatever topic came up and bring it around to sex, which I think started to get on Jen's nerves after a time, though not sufficiently that she bitched about it. She took to stroking her neck after a few such of Cindy's misdirections of topic, which I imagine meant she was at least beginning to get distracted with her mind getting pulled into the gutter so consistently. Likely that's what Cindy wanted, and I thought it likely she knew from experience how hard it could be to lower a woman's inhibitions. Mainly we simply talked, probably for about half an hour, though I don't remember how long it actually was. Kim, though, mostly just sat silently and listened and watched (mostly Cindy), quite obviously feeling out of place. When she did talk, about half of what she said was simply blurted, some random come-on to Cindy, which didn't do much to help ease her discomfort any. Nor did Cindy's starting to stroke her hair after about ten minutes or so, and Kit's curious stare only furthered her embarrassment. Needless to say, Kim's discomposure stayed at a pretty constant level of obviousness, and her blush never entirely receded. Most of the pizza was gone by the time Cindy stood, lifting her now half-drained glass in salute, though I noticed she got to her feet somewhat slower than normal. Chapter 6 "I vote that it's time for drinks," she said, pointing at each of us in turn as she recited the drinks we'd requested. "Tequila sunrise for tattoo man. Sex on the beach for goth grrl. Screaming orgasm for nympho. Mudslide for goth boi. Mr. Man doesn't care, so you'll get one of my own creations. What do you want, lovely?" That last to Kim, who managed to at least refrain from blurting, "You." again. Cindy smiled and held her hand out to her. "I don't know," Kim said, trying to keep her stare from wandering up Cindy's skirt. "Never drank before." "I'll give you a starter, then. Rum and coke. I can mix you more later, if you feel up to it." Kim nodded and stood, managing to avoid taking Cindy's hand. She was having an increasingly difficult time in avoiding not dragging her down and fucking her right there, it seemed. Cindy handed her drink to me to hold until she got back, and Kim followed her into the kitchen. "So what's this game you were talking about?" I called after her. "It's called the inhibition game. I first played it when I was... too young and stupid to have any. Basically it's a cross between spin-the-bottle, truth- or-dare, and a drinking contest. I'll explain it when I'm done making drinks. Goth boi's mudslide is going to take the longest." "How many different liquors did you bring?" Jason asked over the sounds of ice being dropped into a blender. "You need something like half a dozen just for the mudslide, don't you?" "It depends how you make it. I use three for a mudslide. Kahlua, irish cream, and either rum or vodka, then crushed ice or vanilla ice cream with a dose of chocolate syrup. I brought several bottles of stuff, along with the mixers, which should be more than enough for everyone here, unless ya'll are experienced drinkers, which I doubt. Unless it's maybe tattoo man." Jason laughed as Cindy started the blender, the roar of grinding ice filling the room for a minute. "Which do you want, goth boi? Vodka or rum?" "Vodka, girl!" Kit cried. "Vodka! Like it'd be anything else." "Like it's going to matter after it starts kicking in. Get your gothic little ass in here and fetch your drink. Yours is up next, tattoo man." "Rock!" Jason laughed as Kit clambered to his feet and headed into the kitchen. "Go double on mine." Cindy laughed. "If it burns, it's your own damn fault." A pause, then, "Here. Tattoo man's tequila sunrise." Kit came wandering back in, a drink in each hand, and gave one, a vibrantly yellow affair, to Jason before reclaiming his spot in front of the book shelf. Jason lifted his glass and peered through it, then lowered it and sniffed at it. He drew back and furrowed his brow, then took a sip and puckered and coughed. "Oh man. That's going to be hell." "It's your own damn fault," Cindy said again. The sounds of clinking glass were interspersed with her words as she talked. "So what are the ground rules going to be for this game? I don't imagine-" a pause, "-that any of the guys would be willing to go down on each other, even if they're blazing drunk." Bottles being pulled from ice. "And I think the same could be said for Kim. What else should we add to the list of taboos for the game? Keep in mind all rules must be set before the game begins, so if it's not added now, it's not off limits later if it comes up." "I'm not doing anything with another woman," Jen said, making a face. "And nothing sexual between family members," Sara added, and I felt her glance toward the kitchen from her perch on my shoulder. "Check and check," from Cindy, followed by the sound of a metal lid of some sort dropping to the counter. "What's that for?" Kim asked. "Mr. Man's drink. I call it a pussy slammer." Sara and I both burst into laughter hearing that, joined a second later by Jen and Jason. Kit simply grinned. "I thought you'd get a kick out of that. I'm missing part of the drink, though. It's supposed to be topped with a cherry with a banana Runts stuck in it. Some more subtle innuendo there." Cindy came back in, a drink in each hand. One was a pinkish orange thing with ice and a straw, which she handed to Jen, and the other was a slushy pinkish red, which was mine. "Mind that it's a bit sour. I used frozen juice mix, so it'll be a bit strong." "What's in it?" I asked, swirling the drink and sniffing at it. It was sweet, very citrusy, and had a hint of coconut to it. "Frozen pink lemonade, coconut rum, and melon liqueur. Awesome drink. Except for Kim's rum and coke, everyone's got high alcohol drinks, so I'm going to caution against downing them very quickly, unless ya'll have good tolerances for drinking like I said earlier. We'll be drinking quite enough during the game." She turned full circle, looking at everyone in turn. "Ok. So... I need to make your screaming orgasm and Kim's rum and coke, and then everyone will have their drinks. Cool." She turned back to the kitchen and almost fell over as she ran into Kim, who had come up behind her. Kim caught her and Cindy stepped into her again once she'd caught her balance, surprising everyone, Kim included, by wrapping her arms around Kim's waist and pressing against her, giving her a full-on kiss. Kim's surprise vanished after only a second, and she attacked Cindy's mouth with hers as if her life depended on it, moving a hand up and twining it through Cindy's hair to press her harder into the kiss. "Whoa now," Kit laughed. Except for Jen, everyone else did too, but for me, it was more because of Jen's expression. She was literally gawking, her mouth hanging open, and then she just covered her eyes, shaking her head. "Can't you at least wait until I'm drunk to start that?" she asked, getting everyone laughing again. "Jason watches that-" "Hey!" Jason cut in, laughing even harder. "Everyone knows guys have porn collections. It's not like it needs to be spoken." "You mean I'm not enough for you?" Jen stuck her tongue out at Jason, now oblivious of Kim and Cindy kissing, though it appeared Cindy was now attempting to pull Kim off her. Jason grinned and kissed at his sister, with an, "Oh, babe, you're so hot I could light a black candle from here." "Kiss my ass, freak," she laughed, climbing out of the recliner and shoving Kim and Cindy back toward the kitchen. "Go finish the drinks, pixie bitch, and try to keep your lesbian love action on hold until I'm drunk and won't remember it." Cindy was still having a hell of a time trying to extricate herself from Kim, who seemed to have fused herself to her mouth. Cindy managed to direct their stumble from Jen's shove so that Kim ended up against the door jam of the kitchen, which allowed Cindy to free one of her hands and shove it down the front of Kim's shorts. Kim immediately pulled out of the kiss with a wide-eyed gasp, then clutched hard to Cindy, shaking violently as she squirmed and muttered incoherent streams of, "Shit. God. Fuck. Gah." She slowly slumped against Cindy, breathing heavily and twitching as Cindy withdrew her hand. Chapter 7 "I'll pretend I didn't just see that," Jen said blandly. "Go sit down, lovely," she said gently, ignoring Jen, and Kim nodded, looking entirely dazed. "I'll bring your drink out in a minute." She removed Kim's hands from her and stepped back into the kitchen, leaving Kim standing absently. She started moving after a few moments, stumbling over to where she'd been sitting before and collapsing to the floor with a thud. "You ok?" I asked her. "I..." she started, turning her attention to the kitchen. "Yeah. I'm..." "Well fucked," Sara said, to which Kim only managed a nod and a weak, "Yeah." "We told you she'd only need to touch you." "So what's goin on here?" Kit asked. "You two girlfriends or somethin?" "Just friends with benefits, goth boi," Cindy said, and I noticed a big difference in her tone now. "Though after what I did to her, I really don't deserve her." I looked at Sara, who nodded and pulled away so I could get up. I climbed out of the couch, handed her my and Cindy's drinks, and headed into the kitchen. Cindy was in front of the counter, pulling out a bottle of coke from her cooler and looking through the ranks of the other bottles she had out already, and I moved up behind her, slipping my arms around her waist. She tensed a bit before relaxing again and settling back against me, whispering, "Hi." "What happened?" Kit called. "I did a lot of stupid things I shouldn't have," she answered as I turned her face toward me. I frowned a bit at the wet tracks down her cheeks and brushed them away, and she set her bottles down again to turn and cling to me, pressing her face into my shoulder. I lightly kissed her cheek as someone started up some sort of jazzy music on the stereo. Cindy laughed a bit. "Voodoo Sex Stuff," she said softly. "I haven't heard them in ages." "What's wrong?" I asked quietly to keep from being heard in the living room. I started running my fingers through her hair and down her back, and she began crying again, silent. "I haven't done anything to deserve you three," she whispered. "I've been such a bitch to both you and Kim, but you've stuck around. That... I don't know. I don't know what I'm trying to say. But thank you. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You have no idea how much I'd been dreading seeing Kim again, after... after what happened. I was afraid she'd still hate me and not want to listen to me, but she wanted to. That's what we were talking about earlier. She's still pissed off because of what I did, but you and Sara... you managed to at least convince her a bit there was more to me than just the fuck lust and the bitch queen." "That's a long time for simple drinks," Jen said, peeking into the kitchen. I looked at her and shook my head. At least her expression indicated she grasped what was going on here. "Sorry. I didn't know I would be intruding. I'll just be sipping." She ducked back into the living room, but reappeared a second later. "It's very good, by the way, Cindy. Thank you." Cindy nodded against my shoulder and waved a hand at Jen, who disappeared again. She drew in a deep breath and let it out in a long sigh, then lifted her head and wiped at her eyes. "Pixie bitch indeed," she muttered. "All attitude and then gets conciliatory when she realizes the damage done." She looked at me, eyes on mine. "Can you do something for me tonight? Do me a huge, huge favor?" "What do you need?" "Keep me in line tonight. I've not been on my meds for about two weeks now. Didn't want to be drinking while they were in my system. Tried that once before and it wasn't fun at all, so I don't want to do it again. So I'm going to be moody. I don't think I'll be as bad as I was when you first met me, but I don't... I don't want to risk that. I want to be a better person than what I am. Than what I have been." She frowned and grimaced, wiping away tears before they had a chance to start, and I nodded, giving her a gentle kiss. "I can do that for you, but it'll be me as much as Sara." She smiled wanly and pulled my face close to hers, whispering, "Thank you." before giving me a slow kiss, running her tongue over my lips. Though I didn't have any real sexual interest in Cindy at that point, considering she already had a boyfriend, and Sara and Kim on top of that, I was by no means hesitant about returning her kiss. And damn, she could kiss. I dropped my arms down to her waist as she pressed against me, draping her arms around my neck, while she danced her lips over mine, drawing back in tease whenever I moved forward. When she did linger, she traced her tongue over my lips, letting our lips part slowly, and then she moved in again, opening the kiss a little more, building it in steps. I just followed her lead, having never done anything like it with Sara, but I picked up on what she was doing pretty quickly. She wasn't wanting it hard and fiery, so I gave her tender and passionate, and she slowly relaxed against me, purring softly into my mouth as we twined our tongues together. I don't know how long we just stood there kissing, but it was probably not anywhere near as long as it seemed, because it felt like it had been at least half an hour. She pulled back slowly and gave me a searching look, tracing her fingertips over my check and temple to up behind my ear. "I really hope Sara knows what she's managed to catch with you," she said quietly. "I've only met two other guys who can do what you just did. One's Aaron and the other I lost because I didn't recognize what I had with him, and I hurt him so badly." She drew in a deep breath and squeezed her eyes shut, pinching the bridge of her nose. I ssshhh'ed and kissed her forehead. "It's ok." "We having a love fest in here?" Sara asked, causing Cindy to jump, startled. I looked over at her, surprised. I hadn't heard her come in. She smiled and moved forward, putting her arms around the both of us and giving us each a kiss. "And I do know what I have with Mike. If I hadn't before, what he's done since we met you has made me see it." Cindy smiled a bit. "But if you want him, you'll have to pay me." "What? Why the fuck should-" Sara silenced her with a finger and shook her head, smiling. "Listen, hon. Listen. I want you to pay me by teaching me how to kiss like that. That was... I don't think there are any words for it." Cindy laughed, a genuine laugh, and turned from me to Sara, hugging her tight. "Oh, Sara," she said, still laughing. "For you, I can do that. For both of you, I can do that, since it's kind of a useless skill if you can't use it with someone." She gave her a kiss. "But it will have to be later. Now's not the time for it. I still need to make drinks for you and Kim, and then it's game time. There's still a few things I need to explain about it." Chapter 8 Sara's drink was indeed simple, and Cindy sipped at Kim's to make sure it wasn't too strong. She handed Sara's to her, and the three of us wandered back into the living room. Voodoo Sex Stuff had long since shuffled into other music, and something off Tool's Lateralus album was playing by the time we'd all settled again. Cindy stared at the mostly empty boxes of pizza while she absently rolled her glass between her hands. No one spoke, so we were obviously waiting for her. "Ok," she said after a minute, shaking her head rapidly and shivering. "Does anyone have anything else to add to the list of taboos?" "No playing with body wastes," Jason added after a moment. "Fuck of a job to get cleaned up, and it's just disgusting." "Agreed. I've never been into that stuff, either, even with everything I've done." She looked at Kit. "What about you, goth boi? Anything to add that hasn't been?" Kit thought, taking a sip of his mudslide. "Nothing non-consensual," he said. "If it's gonna be fun, everyone's gotta want to, 'cause otherwise it just kills the enjoyment." Cindy blinked, then raised a hand. "I vote we make that one inviolate. Show of hands?" She looked around, everyone raising a hand, Jason raising his drink on high and crying, "Hear hear!" Kim was the only one who hadn't raised a hand, apparently still too dazed to really be listening to anything, and Cindy prodded her. Kim turned to her with a, "Hm?" "What do you vote for everything during the game having to be consensual?" Cindy asked her. "Nah," Kim said, shaking her head. "You can rape me any time you want." She grinned and bit Cindy's thigh while everyone laughed. "You can't rape the willing, lovely." She twined some fingers through Kim's hair, then looked at me, taking another sip from her drink. "What about you, Mr. Man? Anything to add?" I considered, staring off somewhere between Jen and Kit while sampling my drink. It was as advertised, quite good and definitely sour. I puckered and took another drink. I had a guess as to what the game was about, given the name, and though I didn't really care for it, I was going over the likelihood of anyone here saying something about anything that was likely to happen as we progressed from sober to stupid and uncoordinated. Jen and Jason I'd known for years - ever since I'd met Jen in grade school - so I knew the chances of them spreading events around were pretty low. Likewise with Sara and Kim, though I'd known them for not nearly as long. They had their own reasons for not talking about things. Cindy certainly wouldn't, except maybe Aaron. Kit was the only person I thought might talk, but it wouldn't be to anyone that I didn't also know. Which is where the problems came in, because I knew for certain that some of those same people had no ability to keep secrets. Jen and I had tested it once by starting false rumors about each other. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," I said, looking at Kit. Not the smartest of things to do, but I did it anyway. "Man, you already know everyone I would tell," he said. "What the fuck's with that?" "It's not you I'm worried about. You can talk about it all you like with anyone here right now. I don't care. It's the people who aren't here that don't need to know. You remember the rumors about me and Jen from last year, about how she loved to fuck me and Jason, or about me being caught with a blow-up doll in my locker?" "Yeah. But they were so stupid no one'd believe 'em. You know that." "That was the point. It was me and Jen who started them." "What the fuck?" Jen and I both laughed at Kit's expression as he looked back and forth between the two of us. "You can't be serious?" "It's true," Jen said. "We were bored and getting tired of the rumor mill, so we handed out some false rumors to some people we knew talk a lot to see how fast it spread. It only took two or three days." "I don't think they got the point, though," I said, shaking my head. "Like they would," Cindy cut in. "Which doesn't matter. You only cure gossip by ignoring it. But yes, that's another good rule for the game. We should probably also make that one inviolate, because it's a matter of respect and privacy. Vote?" Everyone raised a hand this time, and she nodded and continued. "Ok. Now that we have the ground rules, the most important thing to remember about the inhibition game is the meaning of its name. It's called the inhibition game because the point is to break down inhibitions. Except for the two we just voted as inviolate, the rest of the rules that have been set are inhibitions. So that makes them prime targets, but that doesn't mean they're the only things that should be focused on. Does that all make sense?" She nodded at everyone's agreement, then attempted to slide off the arm of the couch to sit on the floor, stumbling as she did and swearing. She somehow managed to not spill any of her drink, even when she thudded down next to Kim. She blinked stupidly and stared at her drink. "Well. That's a bit stronger than I usually make it, apparently." She laughed and muttered, setting her glass aside. "Ok. Um... Can someone a little more coordinated than me get an empty bottle?" "I'll do a few steps better," Jason said, setting his drink on the lamp stand next to him. "I'll be back in a sec." He leapt out of the couch and headed down the hall. Tool gave way to Delerium on the cd player as he reappeared, two vibrators in each hand, and Cindy fell over laughing as he dropped them by the pizza boxes. Kit gathered the boxes as he closed them up and tossed them neatly into the kitchen. "Oh fuck," Cindy moaned, Jason reclaiming his spot on the sofa while she crawled back into a sitting position. "Ow. That was funny. Definitely better than a bottle. But only one can spin." She reached forward and grabbed the single plain vib, twisting the bottom to turn it on. She purred and grinned at Kim as she sucked on the top of it, making Kim's blush return with a vengeance. "You're a devil," Sara laughed. "Devil with a halo," Cindy giggled, turning the vib off and setting it in the middle of the floor, clearing away the other three vibs. "Everyone knows how to play spin the bottle? Or... vibrator, I guess this version is. Everybody on the floor! Chop! Chop chop!" We did, eventually settling in a rough circle, Cindy, me, Sara, Jason, Jen, Kit, Kim, and back to Cindy, with Kim just about draped over Cindy. "Ok. To make this fair-" Cindy pointed at Jen and Kit, "-everyone has to strip down to only five items of clothing. Jewelry doesn't count, and bra and panties count seperately." Kit shrugged and pulled off one of his shirts, and Jen unlaced her boots, tossing them behind her next to the recliner. Cindy nodded and continued, leaning forward and spinning the vib. "Truth-or-dare variation is..." She laughed as the vib stopped, pointing at Sara. "The person chosen by our fun little friend here decides truth or dare-" "Truth," Sara interjected. "-and if the person chosen by the almighty vibrator here chooses truth-" she kissed at Sara, "-then two things happen. First is the spinner must take a drink of their devil juice, and the chosen target must remove an item of clothing. The second is the usual truth-or- dare stuff. If the target of the vib chooses dare, then they have to take a drink and the spinner takes off some clothes. So!" She slapped the floor next to her, looking around for her drink while Sara untied her sandals and set them behind her. "Truth... Truth... Oh! One other thing! If either the truth or the dare can be considered to lead to something sexual, then the target of the vib must take a drink, even if they already did because of taking a dare. Is that all clear?" "Might be too much to remember when we're all wasted," Jason observed, then laughed. "Of course we probably won't care by then, either." "Exactly!" Cindy laughed and took a drink and looked at Sara. "Ok. Truth?" "Yeah," Sara agreed. "Who was your first real crush and why? And no topic is off limits, by the way, even if it's ridiculous." Sara blinked and blushed, dropping her gaze to her lap, muttering, "Kermit." Jen laughed and clapped her hands. "Kermit's fucking awesome!" she cried, leaning forward. "I love Kermit! Why'd you have a crush on him?" "Very sexy voice." Her blush deepened, turning her a bright red. "I would daydream about him holding me and just talking, and that... um..." "It got you hot and bothered?" Kit said, doing a perfect Kermit voice, and Sara giggled and nodded, then immediately shook her head, giggling even more. We all laughed, and Kit kept going. "A green muppet, running his hands all over your young skin, talking about all the naughty things he would do to you, and then he would put his hands between your legs and play games with you." "God..." She was now a vibrant red, and she turned and buried her face in my shoulder, unable to stop giggling. "I think she definitely needs to take another drink for that," Jason said, grinning. "And Kit for contributing," I added, and Kit laughed and raised his glass, then took a drink. Chapter 9 "Whenever you're ready, sexy," Cindy crooned to Sara. I slid a hand under Sara's shirt and grabbed one of her breasts, teasing her nipple through her bra to quiet her giggling. She came back to herself pretty quickly, then seized my hand to get me to stop. "Damnit, you," she breathed, then kissed me hard. "It hurts when you get them that hard and I have a bra on. And yes, it worked to stop my giggling, so shut up." She laughed and pulled my hand from under her shirt, taking a drink. She looked around at everyone, then leaned forward and spun the vib. The music switched again while it was spinning, Ayumi Hamazaki pouring from the speakers now, and the vib stopped between Kit and Jen. "Ooh! I get both of you! Haha!" Kit and Jen looked at each other, some unspoken agreement, and then laughed. "You really sure you wanna do that, Sara?" Kit asked, grinning. Sara just winked at him, and Kit's grin grew even wider while Jen cackled. "Dare!" they both cried at the same time, and it took a few seconds for everyone to register what that meant. Kit couldn't stop grinning, nor Jen laughing, even as they took drinks. "Two more items of Sara's clothing - gone!" Jason threw in, almost falling over as he laughed. "Fucking hell," Sara exclaimed, laughing. "That's what I get for not thinking first." She peeled her shirt off, bundled it, and threw it at Kit. She grinned at him as she stood, hooking her fingers under the top hem of her shorts. "Your dare, kermit boy, is not touch yourself for the rest of the game." "Devil woman!" He laughed, though. "And if I do?" "Remove an item of clothing and take a penalty drink," Cindy said, and kissed at him. "Or take two penalty drinks, if you're already naked. AND-" She held up a finger, "-you must take another dare, and you MUST do it." She winked at him this time. "Shit. But Sara's lost most of her clothes already. We got some eye candy now!" "Take another drink, goth boi," Cindy grinned. "No masturbating for you, and that meets the sex criteria." "Hey! That ain't gonna lead anywhere if I can't jerk off. That ain't sexual at all. No drink, sex lady." He winked at her, and Jason laughed. "Touché!" "Your dare, Jen..." Sara started again, undoing the top button of her shorts. She swayed forward while she unzipped them, stopping in front of the pile of other vibs and rocking her hips side to side to make her shorts slide down her hips to her feet. She stepped out of them and bent at the waist as she spun, legs spread, giving everyone a good view of her ass and panty covered pussy. Naturally, she was wearing see through panties, so there wasn't much anyone needed to imagine. Cindy purred while Jason and Kit uttered, "Nice...", and she stayed bent over much longer than she really needed to. She spun as she straightened, ending up with her ankles crossed as she faced Jen, holding a ridged vib with multiple speeds. She was grinning, and I had to adjust myself in my pants after her little show. "Your dare-" She swayed over to Jen, vib held between her breasts. "-is to keep this in you as deep as it will go, while it's on this setting-" She clicked it on, then clicked it again so it was on medium buzz. "- until someone replaces it with something else." Jen's eyes widened as she drew in a sharp breath and whimpered, squeezing her legs together. She shot a hopeful look at Cindy. "Can I pass on that?" she pleaded. "If you're willing to follow the penalty rules," Cindy said, snatching up Sara's shorts and sniffing at them, then handing them over to Kim. "Take a drink, lose some clothing, and take another dare that you must follow." Jen whined, shrinking away from the vib Sara was holding in her cleavage. Ayumi Hamazaki shuffled into Porcupine Tree and Jen made her decision, stripping off her socks and taking a swig of her drink. She coughed a bit, then looked up at Sara, letting out a long breath. "Dare me, girl." Sara grinned and immediately dropped onto Jen's lap, straddling her and dropping the vib in front of Kit, who turned it off. Sara draped her arms around Jen's shoulders. "Kiss me like you mean it," Sara said, almost laughing. "Oh, you are so fucking evil," Jen growled while Cindy and Jason laughed. "Clever!" from Jason and "Drink!" from Cindy. Sara held a hand out behind her, not turning away from Jen, and I passed her her drink. Jen swore quietly while Sara took a drink, then picked up her own drink and took a giant gulp of it, coughing hard once she'd downed that. "Fuck, that burns," she breathed, still coughing while she set her drink down. She set her forehead against Sara's shoulder while she got her wind back, then came back up and looked at her. "This is the ONLY time I'm going to do this." Sara just shrugged and smiled. "Shut up and kiss me," she said, laughing. She grabbed Jen's head and dove in, planting her mouth on Jen's before she could say anything more. Jen's eyes widened and she made a sound of protest, muffled by Sara, before shoving her away, grimacing. "If you're going to be that way about it, let me lead," Jen said, making a face and wiping at her mouth. "Fucking pushy, you little wench." Sara lifted her eyebrows and moved Jen's arms up to rest on her shoulders, saying, "Lead away, goth grrl." She shifted and wrapped her legs around Jen's waist and her arms around her chest, and Jen tensed. "Jesus. You're fucking freaking me out, Sara. What the hell's with this?" "Rules of the game, isn't it?" Jen furrowed her brow and shoved Sara's arms down, then shook. She looked at Sara, rubbing her hands over her own arms. "You're bi, aren't you?" Chapter 10 Sara blinked several times, obviously caught off guard by that. I was too, for that matter. I knew Jen was quick to pick up on personality nuances and the like, but even so, she still surprised me sometimes with how easily or how quickly she did so, even without much basis for her observations. "You wouldn't be so willing to kiss me so readily, otherwise," she continued. "Would you?" She gave Sara a searching look. "Does it matter?" Sara returned, leaning down to kiss Jen, but Jen pulled back. "I told you to fucking let me lead." She smacked Sara's ass. "It does matter to me. Yes or no?" "Um... Kind of..." "Kind of?" Jen furrowed her brow even more. "What is that? A 'Yes, but...'?" "You want details about what me and her did a few days after her birthday?" Cindy asked. She grinned and lifted her drink at Jen as she looked over. "Uh... No. I'll pass, thank you. Your finger fuck with Kim was quite more than I wanted to see." "Hell no!" Kit laughed. "I wanna see more of that!" "Oh, shut up," Jen countered, but it got her to laugh, too. "I wasn't meaning you. Of course you'd want to see more. You're a guy." "So give us some more," I said, and grinned at her. "You want to torture Kit, don't you? Remember Sara's dare?" "God damnit," Kit muttered while Jen threw her head back and laughed. "I hadn't thought of that!" she said, then put her arms around Sara's neck again and dragged her down for a kiss. Sara purred and wrapped her legs even more around Jen's waist while pressing into her. Jen grabbed the back of her head and held her locked in the kiss, her other hand straying downward and unclasping Sara's bra. Sara gave a muted cry of protest, which was replaced a second later with a tortured moan as Jen took hold of one of her nipples and started playing with it. Sara clutched at Jen's shoulders, clenching her fingers in Jen's shirt and moaning while she teased her nipple. I glanced at Kim to see how she was taking this and saw she was looking away. I nudged Cindy and nodded at Kim when she looked over. She glanced at Kim, gave me a nod, then pulled her over, whispering in her ear. Kim frowned a bit and nodded, and Cindy leaned down, giving her a slow kiss. "What the fuck?" Kit said. "Now we've got two scenes to watch. I can't look two places at once, ya know. I ain't a chameleon." Jason and I laughed, and Sara managed to finally break out of her kiss with Jen and dive into her shoulder, biting and shaking. Jen winced and drew in a sharp breath, pinching and twisting hard on Sara's nipple, eliciting a loud cry from Sara, before letting her go. Sara panted, still shaking, as she pulled away from Jen. "And I thought you said you're not into women," Sara said. "I'm not. Just because I know how to make it feel good doesn't mean I am. It just means I know how to do the same on myself." She blinked in surprise and then went red, burying her face in her hands at her inadvertent admission that she masturbated. "God damnit..." Sara laughed, leaning down and lightly biting Jen's neck before refastening her bra and crawling back to where she'd been sitting next to me. Damn, but she looked good doing that, and she caught my look before she'd reached her spot again. She grinned and crawled up to me instead, settling on my lap and giving me a deep kiss, and I bit her lip as she pulled back. She purred and turned around, still on my lap, then twisted and leaned in next to my ear when she saw Kim and Cindy kissing. "That bothered Kim, didn't it?" she whispered, and I nodded. She sighed. "I need to remember to be more careful about what I do like that, apparently." "She'll be ok," I whispered back. "Just be sure to make it up to her later." She nodded, then bit my earlobe before turning back to the group. Kit was still enrapt with watching Kim and Cindy, who were still kissing, and it looked like they were slowly falling over, Kim bound to end up under Cindy. "Ahem!" Jen proclaimed, grabbing the vib from Kit, who protested, and throwing it at Kim and Cindy. "We're ready to continue, if you're so inclined." Cindy jumped out of the kiss when the vib hit her and spun fast, ending up falling over. She sat up again, slowly, breathing out a tentative, "Whoo..." as she did. "Fuck the game," Kim said, obviously dazed. She leaned over and helped Cindy sit up, but never took her hands away once that had been accomplished. "I do believe that's the end result," Jason said, and laughed. "Your spin, Kit," Jen said, smacking him in the arm. "Add some craziness to our adventure." "Man, we're already crazy," he said. He raised both hands, first and last fingers up, and head banged to the techno that was playing now. "F-R-E-E-Z-E-P-O-P! Freezepop forever! Yeah!" He clapped his hands together and tossed his head back, getting his hair out of his face again. "A'ight. Spin time. Wheel of Fortune will be shamed by my crappy spin skillz!" He leaned forward and spun the vib while Cindy giggled. And he was right. It WAS a bad spin, and everyone laughed as it stopped, pointing at him. "I think he should be penalized for such a crappy spin," Sara said, leaning back and supporting herself on her arms. She was wearing a see-through bra, too, I noticed, really leaving nothing to the imagination. I'm sure if Cindy hadn't been there, Kim would have been staring just as much as Kit was, which I'm sure would have taken some pretty ingenious explaining to make it not seem weird. "Definitely," I laughed, accompanied by "Drink!" from Jen and "Hear hear!" from Jason. "Hell yeah!" Cindy cried. "There's gotta be at least one person other than me who's drunk." She slapped the floor beside her. "Drink, goth boi. Bad spin! Bad!" She broke down into more giggles with that and collapsed against Kim. "Oh Jesus, I'm fucked up. This isn't fair!" She slapped her thighs a few times in frustration and sat up again. "My alcohol tolerance is so fucking gone." Kit, apparently, took that as invitation to down half his drink, and Cindy furrowed her brow. "Fuck, boy. Go easy on that. I don't use cheap shit when I make drinks. That'll fuck you up faster than you think." Kit laughed and said, "You're the one falling over sitting down and you're tellin' me to slow down?" "Damn fucking right I am." Her angry side was coming out again. "You go through the shit I've been through and see if you don't fucking think the same." "Cindy," I said. "What?" she snapped at me as she spun toward me. "Easy." I held her look, and now that I knew her a little better, I could see her mood shift. She dropped her eyes from mine after a few seconds and nodded. I caught Jen's curious look and shook my head a bit. I'd explain later. Either that or Cindy would, in some way. Kit leaned forward and started the vib spinning again, with "Spin, my little vibrator friend, spin!" And spin it did. It didn't stop for probably a minute, and ended up pointing at Cindy. "Truth," she said immediately, scrutinizing Kit. "Clothing," Kit answered back, almost as quickly. "I'll get to it. What's the truth you want?" Kit rested his chin on a fist, his elbow on one of his knees, as he studied Cindy. "First time having sex," he said after a moment. Chapter 11 She pulled into herself, mentally, staring at the vib in the middle of our group, and then took her sandals off. She set them absently behind her and closed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Where's my drink?" she asked, turning her head a bit toward Kim. Kim grabbed it and put it in Cindy's hand, and Cindy took a drink before continuing. "First time with a guy, I was twelve. It was the neighbor boy, and my parents had him over babysitting me and my sister for the night. He was... seventeen, I think. A senior in high school, anyway. I'd been curious about sex for a while by then, so I got him to play doctor with me after my sister was in bed. He got me off a few times and I sucked him off once before I let him fuck me. It hurt like hell that first time, but I played with some candles a few times the next couple of weeks until that went away, and I let him do it again a few times after that." She kept her attention focused on the vib, I noticed. She took another drink. "First time with a woman was when I was fourteen. It was because of this game, actually. I was at a party with my best friend at the time, drinking and smoking, and she ended up daring me to have sex with her as a penalty dare, so I had to do it. I wasn't really into women then, but she was good in bed. Found out later she'd had a crush on me for years, and then fell in love with me, so she took advantage of that when I got drunk at the party. We had sex a few times a month for about a year, and then she started fucking with my relationship with my boyfriend. We didn't stay friends for long after that, and my boyfriend didn't stick around much longer than that, either." She sighed and drew her legs up, hugging them and taking another drink before she looked around at everyone. "How extreme are all of you with your fetish interests?" "Cindy," I said gently, and she turned to me. I had a feeling she was being masochistic doing this and it was just going to make her even moodier than I knew she was already prone to be. I scooted over to her, the first vestiges of the alcohol giving itself away as everything felt like it moved much more than it should have, and pulled her into me, wrapping my arms around her. She set her drink down and slipped her own arms around me, burying her face in my shoulder while I held her and the world regained its balance. "It's ok," I whispered to her. "It still hurts," she whispered back. "I loved her, Mike. She was a sister to me and more. I broke inside when we fell apart." "I know. It's ok." I didn't know what else there was I could say to that. There probably isn't anything that can really be said to that, other than those two phrases, but I had to come up with something, because if I didn't, she was going to break down entirely, if past experience was a good guide. "But you still have other people who love you. You have your sister. You have Aaron. And you have Sara and Kim and me, who are willing to give that a chance, that we might have something deeper than just friendship. So you lost a friend years ago, but you have other friends now who are here for you." "I've heard that before and it's only been words. I don't know if you'll still be here a month from now." "Have we given any indication we won't be?" She was quiet for a minute, then drew in a deep breath and pulled back, shaking her head. "You can't promise me, though." "No. I can't." Brutally honest, I know, but it was the only answer that would work. "You ok?" Jen asked. Cindy shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes. "I'm never ok, but I'll be all right." She grimaced and clenched her other hand into a fist, digging her nails into her palm. She looked over at Kim as she loosened her hand. "Do me a favor, lovely. Please." "Sex?" Kim answered, and then put on an innocent look, which got a bit of a smile from Cindy. "Not yet, lovely. Not yet. Later. I promise. I want you to go empty my drink. I've had too much." "You needing to pass out?" from Jason. Kim picked up what remained of Cindy's drink and downed it, then broke into a coughing fit, falling over. Cindy blinked at her, oblivious of what Jason had just said, and crawled over to Kim, gathering her in her arms. Kim took several deep breaths, her eyes watery with a few stray drops falling free. "Jesus christ..." she breathed. "Fuck. What the hell was that? That was nasty." "That was mostly Jägermeister. Might have been a bit of Irish cream or Kahlua left, but it was mostly Jäger. Supposed to have finished the rest of the drink first so you're too drunk by the time you hit the Jäger to care what it tastes like straight, you silly girl. Now chase it with your rum and coke, if you want to get rid of the taste." "Chase it?" "Take a drink." "Ok!" Kim bounced and took a big swig from her rum and coke. "Well," Jason laughed. "It looks like those two are going to be in the lead for drunkenness." He took a drink from his and coughed. "Hoi! It's your spin, Cindy. Think you can manage it?" "Is that a dare, tattoo man?" Cindy shot back with a grin, just about falling over as she turned to look at him. "I can be coordinated if I need to be." "Then spin, girl! We're moving at glacial speed here. We should all be shit-faced and having a drunken orgy by now." He laughed again. "We're halfway there," Jen said. "Or at least half of us are." "Shut up and let me spin, damnit," Cindy muttered. She gathered herself into a state of focus, shivering once, violently, then reached forward and set the vib spinning. It stopped on me, and I gave a bemused laugh, looking at my drink. Half gone already? I hadn't even noticed I'd been drinking it that quickly, and it was only kind of kicking in. Or at least that I noticed, anyway. "What'll it be, Mr. Man?" Cindy grinned and poked me in the shoulder. I laughed and downed about half of what I had left of my drink, then grinned at her. "Shit. Making me think. Bastard." She reached behind her, lifting her shirt up, and fumbled with the catch on her bra. "And try to undo my damn bra when I'm too fucking drunk to hold onto it. God damnit..." Kim, unsurprisingly, came to the rescue, pulling Cindy over sideways to lean on her. She put one arm around Cindy's stomach and undid her bra with her other hand while she nibbled on Cindy's neck. Cindy purred and smiled, tilting her head to the side to give Kim more skin to bite at, and Kim worked her way up to Cindy's mouth, locking her in a kiss. "Ahem!" once again from Jen, making Cindy jump. "Mike's dare, please." The two of them didn't entirely stop kissing, even while Cindy tried to talk. "I - want. Damnit, Kim. Mmm. Mike, I - I dare you. Stop it! Kim! Fuck." She grabbed Kim, dragged her over, and shoved her over onto her back, wrapping her arms around her and giving her a full on kiss as she ended up on top of her. Kim immediately twined her legs through Cindy's and slid her arms around her, holding tight to her. Cindy managed to break from the kiss long enough to breathe a quick, "Horny girl." before Kim clasped the back of her neck and kept her lip-locked. Jen sighed in exasperation as Cindy managed to free one of her hands and work it into Kim's shorts again. Kim cried out, but Cindy wouldn't let her out of the kiss, so all she could do was squirm and moan into Cindy's mouth. She moaned loudly and arched as she clutched at Cindy. "We need a camera," Kit said absently. "Hey you," Sara said to Kit, and everyone - except Kim and Cindy, obviously - turned to look at him. "You broke your dare." "What?" he asked, surprised, and then, "Oh. Fuck. God damnit." He dropped his hand back to his side from his crotch. "Get nekkid, boy." Sara grinned. "And Jen has to keep hold of your hands from now on so you can't jerk off." "Hey now! That's a bit much, don't you think?" "No," the four of us all said at the same time. "Fuckin..." Kit growled and pulled his shirt off, then tossed it at Sara, missing badly. He laughed. "Well! Aim ain't so great anymore with the alcohol settin' in." "Yeah, right," Jen said and laughed. "Your aim's never good." "Hey! I would have gotten closer if I weren't drunk, ya know." Jen just laughed again and tugged at his pants, saying, "You follow your dare, you just might get lucky." "See. Now that's incentive." Kit grinned and pulled Jen over, giving her a kiss. "You just want me for my body." Jen smiled and shook her head, biting Kit's lip as she moved a hand to grab his hard on through his pants. "I want you for this, stupid. Now get yourself naked so I can play." Now that was a side of Jen I hadn't seen much of, which meant the alcohol was setting in. It was an open secret that she and Kit had a thing going, but they certainly weren't boyfriend/girlfriend, and they were almost never so obvious about it as this. "So YOU can play, huh?" Kit answered back, laughing. "So I can play, yes. Much better than watching the lesbians." "Watch the tone, girl," from Cindy. She was attempting to support herself on her arms, hovering over Kim, and was barely managing. "You're stuck with it for now, so just get over your damn prudishness." She hung her head, hair cascading down, and drew in a deep breath. "You're here on my tolerance, pixie bitch." "Both of you just shut up about it," Jason snapped. "Now. Both of you are starting to piss me off with this crap, and that is NOT what should be happening at a party. If you can't get along, then one of you go hide in one of our rooms." "I'll go," Cindy said, ever so slowly crawling into a sitting position. "Too much to drink. Going to lose my grip if I don't leave soon. Can't be around people when I'm like this. Made a promise to be better. Don't want to break it." "What's Mike's dare?" Sara asked. Cindy looked at her, squinting as she tried to focus. It took her several seconds to even open her mouth to start trying to say something. "I..." she started, and then hung her head again, breathing deeply. "Fuck... Mike's dare. Not to fuck you in the pussy. Ass is fine. No pussy." "That is so not fair. You're getting us both with that one, damn it." "No. You enjoy being tortured like that. You'll love it." She lifted her head again and looked at Jason. "What room's yours?" Jason lifted his drink and examined it, quirking his mouth at the half empty glass, then set it on the lamp stand behind him before getting to his feet. He swayed a bit, but caught his balance easily enough, and moved over to Cindy, kneeling in front of her. "This way," he said. She grabbed hold of him and they clambered, clumsily, to their feet. Kim downed the rest of her drink, then got up and followed them, twining herself around Cindy as another support. Cindy stopped as Kim joined them and turned to her. "Grab my bra, please," she murmured. Kim responded with a cheery "Mkay." and a kiss, then turned around and thudded to the floor as she knelt to pick up Cindy's bra. She blinked stupidly and laughed, tilting dangerously close to falling over completely. "Well, she's gone," Jen chuckled. "Not yet!" Kim giggled, spinning, quite uncoordinated, to her hands and knees, Cindy's bra held tightly in one hand. "Cindy wanted her bra. Hee! But I'm gone now! Mwahah!" She stumbled to her feet and scampered down the hall after Jason and Cindy. Chapter 12 Jason came back a minute later, settling again in his vacated spot as he eyed Jen and Kit, who were now joined at the mouth. The only clothing Kit had lost so far for Sara's dare was his shirt, and at the pace the two of them were setting, Jen would be losing hers before he lost the rest of his. Kit had pulled her shirt off, Jen had removed her socks herself, and Kit was now working on her bra clasp. "I have a sneaking suspicion the game's pretty much over," Jason said, mouth quirked in a smile as he chuckled. Jen made a negatory sound into Kit's mouth in response, and he managed to undo her bra as she slapped the floor and sat up again. She seemed entirely unmindful that he pulled her bra off when she did and was now sitting half-naked in front of her brother. "Nice breasts, sis, by the way," Jason quipped, and laughed, raising his glass as he gave her a grin. He took a deep breath and managed to down a quarter of what was left of his drink before coming back up to breathe and deal with a coughing fit. "Glad you like 'em," Jen threw back, winking, once Jason was looking at her again. She clasped her hands together and raised her arms above her head as she shook her chest. "I like 'em. They're fun." She dropped her hands down and ran them over her breasts, circling fingers around her quite prominent nipples. "But you two-" she pointed suddenly at Jason and me, leaning forward unexpectedly, "-need to loose some clothing! Two sexy beasts and you're still clothed! Three sexy beasts!" She corrected herself as she looked over at Kit again. "Get you naked! Sara has commanded. No more of mine comes off until the guys have lost more of theirs." "Well hell, if you put it that way." Jason laughed and stripped off his shirt. "I won't argue with that," I said, following suit and throwing my shirt at Jen, realizing as I did so just how much more the alcohol had set in. Everything tipped, and I caught myself with one hand as I started falling over. "Well... She wasn't kidding when she said they were stronger than they seemed." I sat up again and pulled off my shoes and socks for good measure, then looked at Jen. "Now about that skirt and those panties you still have on..." Jen laughed and shook her finger at me. "Nice try, you, but we're still evenly matched. We need to have a party with a guy getting naked before the girls do." "What? So I ain't counted now?" Kit asked with mock pain. "Oh hey!" Jen gave a gleeful laugh and sidled up to Kit again, leaning on him as she dropped a hand to his cock and began slowly stroking him. "Back off, girly," I laughed. "It's my spin and our happy little friend needs a clear target." She gave a playful growl and hiked up her skirt, splaying one leg wide to the side and draping the other across Kit's lap, revealing that she was, unsurprisingly, wearing black panties. She winked at me. "Sorry that it won't be getting any clearer just yet." She adjusted an imaginary halo. "Ya know, I think I could get used to Jen being drunk," Jason chuckled as I leaned forward, everything going into spin again and almost making me fall over. "So long as you're not being a bitch, that is." "Bite me, tattoo boy," Jen said, and I could hear her grin. "Just tell me where and how hard." "Holy crap..." I muttered. I had a hand out to keep myself up, but I had a feeling it wasn't going to be enough, which got me laughing. "This is going to suck." "So does that mean we can take advantage of you now and you won't remember it tomorrow?" Sara asked innocently, patting my ass a few times. "Hell yeah!" Jen cried. That got me laughing again, which made everything start moving again, and I had to hold myself up on both arms to keep from falling over. I hung my head and closed my eyes to regain my balance, and once I had that back, I blinked at the vibrator a few times to bring it into focus. "Ok, damn it," I said, grabbing hold of the vib. "Let's see if I can do this without falling over." I set it spinning as Kit spoke. "Too bad we ain't playin' strip twister," he said, "'cause then you'd have an excuse for fallin' over." Now that DID get me to fall over, laughing too hard. Somehow I managed to not land on the vib, and I reached over and hit him on one of his legs. "Fuck you, bitch," I said, unable to move more than that, still laughing too hard to do so. "Hell no! That's Jen and Sara's job, man. And hey! You got Sara. What'll it be, girl?" "The lesser of two evils?" Sara said as I climbed back into a relatively stable sitting position. "Jesus. Um..." She was absently stroking a finger along her pussy slit, I noticed. "This is the worst possible setup, you know." "Truth or dare, m'dear?" Jen crooned, laying her head on Kit's shoulder. Sara whined and dropped her gaze to the floor in front of her. "Truth," she said quietly, then moved her hand from her pussy and downed the last of her drink. "And I'm out of drink. That's not fair." My mind, apparently, had disengaged completely, because I could think of nothing to ask her for truth. Watching her stroke herself had been too distracting. "Lose the pants, sexy," Jen said, and she grinned and blew a kiss at me when I looked over. "Maybe I'll lose the rest of mine if you do." She winked. I laughed, then fell backward as I fumbled with getting my pants off. The world rocked dangerously when I did that, and I just lay there for a few seconds, waiting for everything to stop moving enough that I could move again. "Fuck..." I breathed, holding onto my pants. I shut my eyes, lifted my ass off the floor, and shoved my pants down, only to discover that closing my eyes made matters worse. I opened them again and looked down at Sara, who was yanking my pants the rest of the way off. "God, this sucks. I think I'll just stay here for a while." I laughed and looked over at Sara again. She was flushed, but whether that was from the alcohol or embarrassment at the vib having stopped on her on my spin I had no idea. Not that it mattered. She was holding one elbow while the fingers of her other hand circled one of her nipples, and I had an image of her meeting me in the entryway of her place on the day we ended up fucking for the first time. Or the first several times, actually. Inspiration right there. "First sexual experience with someone else, in detail," I said, grinning. Chapter 13 "I..." she groaned, squeezing her breast and frowning. "God. That was so long ago. Um..." She dropped her gaze to the floor again, crossing her arms under her breasts. "I was... um... I think I'd just turned ten, so Kim was still seven. We didn't have air conditioning where we lived then, it was a duplex that got sun all day because there weren't any trees, so we only wore our panties to bed. Lots of blackberry bushes, but no trees." "Wait, wait," Kit said, but it was Jen's whimper that got me to turn my attention back that way. He was pinching her nipples hard enough to make his fingers turn white, and she was gripping tight to his wrists while he twisted them back and forth. "Your first time was with your sister?" That was when I realized I'd brought up something that shouldn't have been, and Sara's indecisive combination of, "I..." and "Um..." was all the answer that Kit's question really needed. She didn't seem able to come up with an effective, "Yes, but..." solution, and my mind was trying to follow half a dozen different tangents at the same time, none of them effectively, thanks to the alcohol. Mostly now I was curious, and my mind conjuring visions of them twined together in the dark in some fashion wasn't helping any. "Jesus!" Jen cried, prying Kit's hands away from her breasts, panting. She bit one of his fingers before dropping her hands down and pulling her panties off as she spun around to face him, giving us all a brief view of her pussy, revealing she kept herself trimmed. She shoved him onto his back and climbed on top of him, kissing him hard, which she broke only long enough to say, "Enough of that, boy. I've waited long enough." She raised her hips and reached between them so she could position him as she kissed him again, then impaled herself, shaking and moaning as she started grinding. "NOW it's official," Jason said, and I flopped my head back around. "Game's up! Time to retire and leave them to their bunny fuck." He raised his glass and blearily peered at what little of his drink he had left. "I say we should meet the sunrise together. So much more fun that way." He laughed and downed the last of his tequila, slammed the glass down on the lamp stand, and climbed to his feet, swaying and almost falling back onto his ass again before catching himself. "Nothing like a good buzz and beautiful, nekkid women to put you in a good mood." "You're sharing the bed, mister," Sara said, smiling mischeviously and eyeing both me and Jason. "I want a threesome." "Well hey, that just tops off the evening, doesn't it?" He laughed and leaned over, holding his hand out to me. "Get up, guy. We gotta fuck your girlfriend senseless!" "Good luck!" I laughed, grabbing hold of his hand. He pulled me up and the room disappeared in a massive blur. Was I falling? I couldn't tell, and it felt like half an hour before I was able to focus again. Jen's moans as she rode Kit seemed somehow unholy, and I shivered. "Holy fucking hell..." "You all right, man?" "I... don't think so." Everytime I moved, I felt like I was falling over. Maybe I was. Who knows. How many hours had it been since Jason's question? "Coffee," Sara said, and I turned slowly toward her, putting all my focus into being able to look at her straight. She was swaying slightly, undoing her bra. She'd already lost her panties somewhere. "Energy drink," Jason countered. "Caffiene to the rescue!" He turned me toward him and pointed at me. "You. Stay there. If you pass out, I won't be held responsible for Sara raping you while you're out." And then he was gone, only to reappear what seemed a second later, holding a blue can in front of me. "Red Bull," he intoned, his voice high. "It gives you wiiiiings!" Whatever conversation followed between him and Sara was lost, as I tried to read the can. "Red Bull?" Or at least I think that's what I said. Obviously it wasn't. "Red Bool!" Jason laughed, and slapped an arm around me. "Sara, get your hot little ass over here. I think you're the only one of us sober enough to open this without dropping the fool thing, and this boy needs a picker upper or he's out. Out, man! Out! No bed fun there." "Man," Sara said, purring. "He's my man. No boy, I can tell you that." She grabbed my dick and squeezed, then began pulling slowly. I hadn't thought I was still hard, though the feel of her hand on me went in and out of my awareness, just like everything else at the moment. "Where's that can, J?" And then she opened my mouth, the can was shoved against it, and then it was tilted, dumping the tart nastiness of the stuff down my throat. I sputtered and coughed when it was about gone, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and shivered. "Gah," I coughed. "Just the taste of that stuff is enough to wake you up. Man, that shit is nasty." "Bedroom, lover." Sara bit my lip as Jason draped an arm around her shoulder, and we see-sawed down the hall, me making faces trying to get rid of the after taste of the Red Bull. We stopped in front of Jason's bedroom, but the door was closed, and we stared at it stupidly for several seconds before remembering that Kim and Cindy were in there. "I have a sneaking suspicion Cindy wouldn't be happy if we interrupted," Jason said, swaying toward me and Sara before turning to face back down the hall and calling to Jen. "We're taking over your room, Jen. Our lesbian friends have taken over mine." No response from Jen, of course, since we could clearly see she and Kit had traded places, Kit fucking into her like some long haired machine. She had her legs up over his shoulders and was digging into his shoulders with her nails as she shook and panted and moaned. "That must be a, "Go right ahead"," I said and laughed, turning around with Sara and shuffling into Jen's room. The place was a hazard for someone drunk, but the three of us managed to get to the bed with little mishap, and Sara and I locked mouths while Jason went straight for eating her out and Sara grabbed hold of my dick. Chapter 14 "Wait, wait," I said, pulling away from kissing Sara and shoving Jason away from her pussy as Sara started to shake. "What!?" she panted, squeezing hard on my dick and moaning in frustration. "Cindy's dare." I grinned, biting her lip. "Get on me while Jason eats you. And I want to hear the rest of what you were going to say about your first time." "Hey now," Jason quipped. "That's a good idea." Sara whimpered but shoved me onto my back anyway, and I scooted up the bed so I could half sit against the wall. She swung one leg over me and grabbed my cock, sinking completely onto me in a single, fast movement. She started shaking, and I felt her pussy squeezing, with small spasms as she relaxed and tensed again to keep from cumming. I had to do the same, or I would have myself. Of course, going in and out of focus probably helped me with that. "Get her clit, J," I said, reaching around Sara and grabbing her breasts, starting to play with her nipples. "She's going to cum." "Excellent," he grinned and shoved Sara back against me, latching onto her clit again with his mouth. Sara grabbed my hands and clenched hard, a long, low moan coming out of her, interspersed with shots of, "Fuck." and, "Oh god.", and then she was cumming, her pussy clutching my dick so hard it hurt. I bit the back of her neck, pinching her nipples hard and twisting them between my fingers while she came, and her trembling and cries gradually subsided. "Wrong hole, sexy," I said when she was coherent again, sucking on her earlobe. "I know," she panted, struggling into a sitting position and forcing Jason away from her clit. She gave a slow purr, and then just sat for a second, her head down. "Wanted to get you wet first. Didn't want to get ass fucked dry." "T'wouldn't have been a problem, girl," Jason laughed, running his fingers over his chin to wipe away her juices. "Asses don't lubricate, smart ass." She ground against me, squeezing again, and I put my hands under her ass. "I'm getting there! Just gimme a sec, love." She swatted my hands away and I moved them to her hips as she lifted up and reached down with one hand, grabbing hold of me and positioning me before slowly sinking back down. There was a lot more pressure entering her ass than there ever had been with her pussy, and she rode up and down several times before I was fully in her. I'd been tensed to keep from cumming since she'd hit the half way point, but she didn't stop when she finally bottomed, instead starting to grind and squeeze again. That put me over, her ass muscles gripping tighter than I think her pussy ever could, and I grabbed her hips even harder, pressing her down on me as I arched into her. She drew in a sharp breath and gasped as she felt me cumming, dropping a hand to her clit and working it hard and fast, cumming again herself a few seconds later. "Looks like someone likes getting ass fucked," Jason said, pushing Sara back against me again and spreading her legs wider. She nodded, breathless, but still managed, "Came in me. Good. Need more." before dragging Jason on top. "Fuck me, too." "Gladly." Jason grinned and settled his knees as he ducked down and bit at her throat, Sara grabbing my hands and planting them on her breasts. She let out a long moan as Jason slid into her and I started on her nipples as she dropped her arms back to support herself on her elbows. Jason and I started fucking her at the same time, except I couldn't do more than short strokes because of my position. It was enough, though, Sara starting to cum again after only a few from each of us, even harder than she had before, and Jason locked her in a kiss to muffle her, still moving in her. Not that I could, 'cause her ass just squeezed too hard for me to be able to. Not that I cared, 'cause it felt incredible, and I started fucking her again when I could move again. Or at least I thought I was. The alcohol was really starting its final kick up, and I felt like most of my strength was gone. Not that it really mattered, since Sara rocking her hips was doing the job just fine. She shoved Jason away from her mouth after a minute, gasping in a deep breath and dropping her head back, breathing hard and moaning even louder, crying out and mumbling incoherently as she went into another orgasm. She rolled her head toward me as she collapsed, not having the strength any more to keep herself up, and I moved one hand up to her face, kissing her hard while I slid my other hand down to her clit. That sent her off again, and that was enough to make both Jason and me cum, too. Sara whimpered and moaned into my mouth, and I could tell she was about to pass out from overload. Which registered only distantly, 'cause I think that was about when I passed out myself, Red Bull be damned. Sara was saying something, but it was too dim for me to remember what it was. Chapter 15 Sara was curled around me when I woke up in the morning. Jen had apparently joined us at some point, and she and Jason were tangled together, Jason with a hand on one of Jen's breasts and Jen with a hand on Jason's crotch. That was mildly amusing, and I imagine they had both been too drunk to realize what they were doing when they'd collapsed like that. I had a distant head ache, so I just lay there, partly with the intent of satisfying my curiousity about what Jen and Jason would do when they woke up themselves. That and I didn't want to wake Sara yet, since I could tell she was still a long way from doing it herself. It was probably half an hour later that Sara started to stir, and Cindy peeked in not long after that. I looked over at Cindy and saw she was dressed, though she was wearing Kim's top instead of her own. I waved a hand at her, kind of a good morning sort of thing, and she gave a brief smile, then surveyed the floor before making the expedition to the bed side. She settled behind Sara and leaned over the both of us, wrapping an arm around us and resting her head on Sara's arm. She studied Jen and Jason for a minute, then looked at me. "Five bucks says that whichever of them wakes up first gives the other a squeeze," she whispered, barely loud enough for me to hear her. I glanced at the two again and gave an amused snort, then looked back to Cindy. "I don't think we need to put any bets on that at all," I whispered back. "They'd do it just to get a reaction." "You're probably right." I could tell she had something on her mind, but she was still looking at Jen and Jason. I turned a bit and lifted my free hand to her cheek. That got her to look at me, but it was brief. "What's up?" She just shook her head, grasping my hand with hers and lifting it so she could kiss my palm. "I'll be in the kitchen when you're able," was all she said, glancing at me before placing a light kiss on Sara's shoulder, then climbing off the bed and leaving the room. "What do you think is wrong?" Sara asked after a minute, a groggy whisper. I shrugged, turning over to face her, and she pressed against me, dozing. "Seems like there's always something wrong with her." Sara made a small, indefinite sound to that. "Probably something came up last night with Kim. Or the game. Or whatever. Suppose I should go talk with her." "Hm. You should. You should get cleaned up first, though, considering where you were last night. We'll have to do that again. I loved it." Where I was last night? It took me a few seconds to remember, and I laughed a bit. Except now that I wasn't drunk out of my gourd, I was having second thoughts about having another threesome. Or at least one with another guy, anyway. Not that I thought Jason was going to steal Sara, or that Sara would leave me for him, but apparently I was a little possessive. After all, she'd said, numerous times, that she was mine and belonged to me. My sex slave. Although that brought up the beginnings for some ideas, but I'd have to think about them later. "The ass fuck or the threesome?" "Both," she smiled, moving forward and giving me a kiss. "Preferably at the same time again." "We'll have to talk about that." I lightly bit her lip and gave her ass a squeeze. "I'm going to go see what's up with Cindy, k?" She nodded and gave me another kiss. "Think you can keep an eye on Jen and Jason there? Looks like they could be getting a bit naughty when they wake up." "Hm? How so?" I just kissed her again and got up, and her amused hum told me she'd seen just how Jen and Jason were tangled. Chapter 16 Kit was half-sprawled on the sofa, a blanket tossed haphazardly on top of him when I came out of the bathroom, and Kim was zoned in front of the tv, playing a game. She was wearing Cindy's panties and her own top, but nothing else. "Hoping to get lucky?" I asked her, and she glanced at me before returning her attention to the game. "Have," was all she said in answer to that. "Would still be, but Cindy wanted to talk with you and sis. She's in the kitchen." "I know." I spotted my discarded underwear and pants and pulled them on before heading into the kitchen, where Cindy was sitting at the table. She had a glass of iced coffee and was leafing through a tattoo magazine, but didn't bother looking at me. I leaned over her and wrapped my arms around her shoulders, settling my cheek against hers. "Please don't make this hard," she said quietly, raising her hands and placing them over mine. "You're second guessing yourself again, aren't you?" "I always am. You should know that by now." I pulled back some and looked at her, then turned her toward me. "What is it this time?" I asked gently. She just shook her head and stood, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding against me. I put my arms around her waist and did the same, her face pressed against my shoulder, and we held like that for a few minutes before she said anything. "Did I do anything wrong last night? Jen was pretty pissy." I shook my head and said, "She's like that a lot, but usually after work. She doesn't like her job." "Most people don't. Me included." "Is that what's bothering you?" She shook her head again but didn't say anything. "So what is?" Not that she answered, just pulled away and looked at me, running one hand over my cheek. "Do you have a headache? I made coffee earlier. It will help." "Are you going to talk with me?" I was starting to get annoyed with this, and I didn't want to be annoyed with her when she was in this sort of mood. It wouldn't have gone over well at all, and I think she saw that, because she gave a small nod and turned away, heading over to the coffee maker. She poured a cup of the stuff and spiked it with a shot of Kahlua, then nodded me toward the back door. I followed her, and she had me sit on the back step, then settled in front of me after giving me the coffee. She leaned back against me and I slipped my free arm around her, her taking my hand and putting it on her breast. I felt her nipple press into my palm, and I squeezed a little while I waited for her to talk. "Why do you want me?" she asked after a few minutes, putting her hands over mine and stopping my massage of her breast. "All you ever see of me is complaining and break downs." I looked down at her and set the coffee aside, then put my other arm around her. "But there's also your desire to be better, and you don't want to repeat what you've been through, so you're trying to be a friend and gain friendship." "I don't feel like that balances out." "Sometimes it doesn't. But that doesn't mean you're like that all the time, does it?" She was quiet for a time, running her fingers over my hand, and I let her think. "Sometimes it doesn't feel like you're so much younger than me. You scare me sometimes with how mature you are. You and Sara both. More than I am." She turned her face and pressed it against my arm, clutching the other side of it with her hand as she sniffled. "I wish I could have found someone like you years ago. Or more than just the one, anyway. I think I could have avoided a lot of the shit I've been through if I'd had better people around. Could have avoided so much of this pain." "Maybe. But why dwell on it?" "Because it's made me who I am, and I don't want to be who I am anymore. I want to be someone else. I get so tired of dealing with me all the time. You have no idea. You really don't." "Are you willing to let me?" I really have no idea why I asked that, especially since I didn't have much of an idea of what exactly I was meaning. I don't know if Cindy did, either, for that matter, because she didn't answer immediately. "I want to try," she said after a minute. "But I don't know how. I've never had any real friends, other than my sister. I don't know what it means to have that, or even how to handle that. Trying to learn something like that second hand is a piss poor way to go about it, 'cause it just doesn't work. You don't... you don't get any of the inner stuff, ya know, when you watch other people who are friends. Or maybe that's just a break in my head, that I can't understand that and have people close to me." I turned her and tilted her face up to mine, cupping my hand against her cheek, stopping her from looking away. "But you're still able to love, aren't you?" She only looked at me, and then pursed her lips. When she turned away, I let her. "I don't know, Mike. I don't know. I'm not sure I even know what that is, anymore. Even with Aaron, it's..." She sighed and wiped a hand across her eyes. "I don't know. I like him, and my affection for him is..." She spread her hands in a vague, frustrated attempt to say what she couldn't with words, and then dropped them into her lap, sighing again. "But I don't... I don't know if I love him. I don't know if I can love anymore. I feel like that was beaten out of me when I was... when I was fucked up and stupid. Now I'm just fucked up." "Should I argue that?" I asked, turning her back to facing me, and she shook her head. "No. You don't have the character to be a good liar. And I don't want to argue right now. I just... I don't know. I just need to talk, I guess. Talk and... other things," she added, dragging my hand back to her breast, and she looked at me again. "Are you feeling any better?" "I'll be ok." We looked at each other over that, me pondering if I should call her on her non-answer or just let it be. I eventually decided it was better to just let it go, and nodded, giving her a gentle hug that was awkward only because of the weird angle, and she brushed her lips over mine in a light kiss. "Sara's the only woman you've been with, isn't she?" "Not unless you count a threesome with Kim, but I didn't fuck Kim." "Did you do anything to Kim?" "Just her nipples." "Then you haven't been with her." She traced her fingertips down my cheek and throat, which started me getting hard. "Would it be too much to ask if I could be your second?" I blinked, and that surprised, anticipatory thrill went through my gut, the sort of thrilled tightness that hits you when you've just discovered that the one you have a crush on also has a crush on you. Of course, I hadn't seriously thought about having sex with her, or even of doing anything sexual with her, for that matter, but I can't argue that I found her attractive, despite her moodiness. "It wouldn't be too much, no," I answered, running my hand over her cheek to the back of her neck. For some reason I had absolutely no idea how to go about being sexual with her, so I was feeling tentative. Or maybe I was just picking that up from Cindy. "Can I ask something, though?" She made a yes sound and dropped her hand to my crotch, undoing my pants and adjusting my erection. That almost made me forget what I wanted to ask, especially when she grabbed me through my underwear and moved in to kiss again. I stopped her with a finger over her mouth, and she kissed my finger instead. "What caused the mood?" "Too many things, and I don't want to talk about them right now. I just need a good, slow fuck, and Sara and Kim don't have cocks." "Sara has a fake one," I chuckled. "That you got her, I know. But it's not the same. It doesn't feel the same. And it doesn't cum like you can, and I need that right now. Please." She squeezed my dick for emphasis, and I leaned down, giving her a slow kiss and running a hand down and hiking her skirt up - what little there was of her skirt, anyway - to get at her pussy. She wasn't wearing her panties, and I discovered she was already soaked. My fingers slid along her slit without any friction at all, and I started on her clit, rubbing hard. She leaned in for another kiss, driving her tongue into my mouth and moaning low in her throat, clutching her fingers into my hair. "Please tell me this means yes," she breathed when she pulled back, but only far enough that our lips had parted. She was studying my eyes, and I dipped a pair of fingers into her as I pulled her closer, holding her against me. She spread her legs as we kissed again and I started working her clit with my thumb while finger fucking her, causing her to moan and squeeze me harder, pulling toward her pussy. I stopped when I felt her squeeze my fingers in her, and she growled, breaking the kiss and biting at my shoulder. "How long do you want to take?" I asked, biting the side of her throat. "How long do we have?" "Time enough for love." I brushed my lips over hers. "Then love me. Please." Chapter 17 We stripped as we made our way back to Jason's room, Cindy having an avid audience in Kim, who was looking hopeful. Kit was still passed out. Cindy shook her head at Kim as she looked back and forth between the two of us, so she went back to her game, and Cindy pressed against me as we started down the hall. She draped her arms around my neck as I slid my arms around her waist, gripping her ass, and she jumped as I did, wrapping her legs around me and grinding against my erection, slicking me with her juices. "I don't want foreplay," she whispered, grabbing the door and swinging it closed as we passed through. "Just love me slowly. I want it to last. I want to cum together." I tilted forward onto the bed and we landed without mishap, which was a minor miracle. I drew my knees up and planted them, and we scooted up further, mouths locked together as we kissed, teasing each others tongues, and I settled my dick in the slit of her pussy, rocking against her. She whimpered even as she matched me, drawing her nails down my back and tightening her legs around my waist to press harder against me. "Don't tease," she gasped, turning away from the kiss. "God, please. Don't tease. I'm already close. I want you in me. Need you in me. Fuck me. Please. I need it." "You said slow," I said into her ear, and nibbled her earlobe. She grabbed my head and pulled me up so she could look at me, holding my face in her hands. She kissed me hard, biting and sucking on my lip as she tightened her legs around me even more. "Fuck me. Please. I'll get rough if you don't. I don't want to hurt you. Please. Be in me. I need you in me. I need to be filled. I need to feel you cum in me. Please." Fuck her or have her get rough and angry? Tough choice, that. I lifted away from her, catching and holding her in a kiss as I reached between us to position my dick, then slid slowly into her. She whimpered as I did, digging her nails into the backs of my shoulders, which I didn't notice as she squeezed my cock with her pussy, hard enough that it seemed I could feel every little ridge of her muscles. When she let up, I pulled back until only the head of my dick was still in her, then back in, just as slowly. She squeezed just as hard as before, a delightful non-friction tightness that was driving me toward orgasm faster than I expected, fucking her so slowly, and she tilted her head back to get out of the kiss, letting out a long, shuddery, "ohgod..." "Close..." she gasped, gripping me tighter with her arms and arching up as I slid into her a third time. I stopped there, and she cried out in frustration, grinding against me and grabbing my face, eyes burning as she trembled beneath me. "Don't. Stop," she said through clenched teeth, breathing heavily. "Are you close?" "Right. There. Don't. Stop." "Good." I grabbed her face and held her, sealing her mouth with mine with the deepest kiss I could manage, tangling my tongue around hers as I started fucking her hard and fast. She moaned loudly, trying to pull away from my mouth, but I held her, fighting not to cum as she squeezed me even harder than before. She was breathing frantically and squirming, digging her nails into my shoulders enough that I actually did notice now, and I couldn't hold back any more. I broke the kiss and dropped my face down to press into her neck, clutching at her shoulders. "Cum now," I said, and then bit her shoulder. I managed two more strokes before we both came. She gasped in a deep breath, tightening her entire body against mine, and then arched up, going rigid against me as she ground her pussy hard onto me, and I pressed as deep into her as I could. She managed gasping moans every time she spasmed on me, almost hard enough that my own climax was stopped, but they were off just enough that hers would let up just as mine hit. She growled deeply as I started fucking her again even before I'd finished cumming, gasping in deep breaths and rocking her hips to match my fucking while she moaned out random "Fuck me."s and "Yes."s between moans and growls. Good trick for staying hard, that one, and I lifted my head from her shoulder back to her mouth, and we kissed again, a hard, passionate wrestling of lips and tongues. She was cumming again a few seconds later, having wrapped her arms and legs further around me to hold even tighter to me even as she arched and rolled her head back and out of the kiss again. I bit the side of her neck as she came, shifting my knees up to the level of her hips so I'd have better leverage to keep going, and she started to squeeze her pussy on me again. It didn't work quite as well as it did the first time, since I'd just cum, but it did get me there a lot faster. Not before she'd cum again herself, though. She was starting to squirm under me and shake her head side to side, and I managed to get hold of her face again to stop her, catching her in another kiss. I tightened my own grip on her as I got closer to orgasm, a sign she obviously recognized, because she started squeezing my dick even harder, but now in time with my strokes, starting to squeeze as I slammed back into her and letting up as I bottomed out. I had to break the kiss as I came, dropping back to her shoulder again and biting, and I shoved as deep into her as I could while she shivered and whimpered under me, running her hands down my back. I felt a wet stickiness trailing under her fingers, but that was buried under orgasm and her continuing to squeeze. There was no way I was going to be able to keep going after this one, since I was starting to shake now, and I slowly relaxed against her, kissing up her neck back to her mouth. We kissed gently for a few minutes, Cindy letting out contented hums, and she eventually pushed me back a bit, a finger over my lips as she smiled. "I see why Sara's so hot for you," she said, and it took me a few seconds to recognize her tone as serenity, since it was so much calmer than anything I'd ever heard from her. She kissed me again, gently. "Thank you for this." I returned her kiss and asked, "This isn't going to cause problems for you, is it?" "Between us?" She shook her head. "Why would it?" "I meant you and Aaron. You wouldn't have gotten me here if I had a problem with this happening." She mm'ed and gave me another kiss, then shook her head again. "He knows how I am, and we have an open relationship. He won't mind. He's done the same thing a few times since we've been together, but I think we're each other's main, by now, since we're always coming back to each other more often than not." "What about Kim?" "Nothing that can't be resolved. Though you and her have a lot you need to talk about." "I know." She shook her head and fixed her gaze on mine, adjusting her legs around my waist. "No, you don't. You don't know. There's a lot of things you and Kim need to talk about, and it's not all about Sara." "What do you mean?" "You'll have to talk with her yourself. I promised I wouldn't do it for her. I'm just giving you a heads up." She locked her legs around my hips again, shifting under me. "But we should get up and shower. I don't want to lie in my puddle anymore. Give me a kiss and pull out slowly, ok?" "And if I don't want to pull out?" I grinned, grinding against her. She hummed and bit at my lip. "Then you'd best get that dick of yours hard again, mister, 'cause you're not doing much right now to distract me from my puddle." I glanced over at the clock, then winced sharply and growled as Cindy dragged her fingers over the holes she'd gouged in my back. I gritted my teeth and drew in a deep breath while she frowned, gingerly tracing her fingers over my skin. "Ok. Maybe no more fun for now. It's time to shower and clean up. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm really not." "I wouldn't think you would be," I laughed. I gave her a slow kiss as I pulled out, and she whimpered as I did, managing to at least keep from digging her fingers into my back again. I kissed her again, and she shoved me up and away, smiling as she rolled away and out of her puddle, sitting up. "Turn around," she directed, motioning, and I did. "Oh god. Shower's going to suck for you, hon. Now I really am sorry." She moved forward and lightly placed her hands on my arms, kissing the back of my neck, and I looked over my shoulder at her. "You put holes in me that bad?" She gave an embarassed smile and looked down. "I couldn't help it." I laughed and stood, turning to her and pulling her off the bed to me, putting my arms around her waist and holding her. "You're going to clean it, then." She nodded and kissed me, and we headed to the bathroom. Chapter 18 She was right. I had crescent shaped gouges in my back now, one of them still bleeding when I saw them before getting into the shower, and the salt from my sweat made them sting like a bitch when it washed into them. Cindy moved into the cascade of water once she had me cleaned, and I did the same to her, although I wasn't in any hurry to be done with her. I slid a pair of fingers into her and started working her clit with my thumb as she lifted one leg and set her foot on the edge of the tub. She grabbed my arms and squeezed, dropping her head back onto my shoulder and letting out a moan as she gasped. I kissed her throat while I slowly finger fucked her, and she spread her legs more. "Do you mind a question?" I asked, pressing my fingers as deep as I could get them and holding them there, only working her clit when I felt her pussy starting to tense. "What?" she gasped, turning her head to look at me and squeezing my arms harder. I gave her a deep kiss and wiggled my fingers in her, which made her rock her hips and squeeze her pussy on them. I slipped my free arm further around her to hold her closer against me as she let go of my arms and turned to face me, wrapping her arms around my neck so we could kiss more easily. I added a third finger and started finger fucking her again, faster and harder as she growled and tightened her arms around me, slumping as her orgasm hit, hanging on me to stay upright. I didn't stop, and she dropped her face against my neck, biting my shoulder and whimpering even as she spread her legs as wide as she could. She bit harder when she came again, writhing against me with each wave of her climax and breathing heavily. "Stop," she gasped as she was coming down. "Stop. Oh god stop. Enough." I did, and she clung to me, breathing hard and doing her best to stay standing. She swallowed hard and dropped her foot back to the floor of the shower, squeezing her legs together and pulling her hips back, forcing my fingers out of her. "Jesus Christ..." she breathed. "I don't know if I agree with your cleaning methods. Damn fun, but they just make the mess worse." She brought my fingers up to her mouth and sucked on them, then gave them to me. I laughed and sucked her juices off, then kissed her. "That's not a complaint, is it?" "Oh hell no!" She laughed. "But I won't let you clean me anymore right now. The water's starting to run cold, and I really hate cold showers. Keep your hands away from anywhere naughty and ask your question, mister." She turned to face the shower, lifting her other leg this time, and started cleaning herself. I put my hands on her hips and ran them up and down her sides while she did. "Is sex how you show your love for someone?" I asked, then kissed the back of her neck. She stopped her cleaning and lifted her head, turning a bit to look at me. Her posture changed, too, though I couldn't explain how. Apparently I'd hit a bit close to home. I stopped my hands, too. "What do you mean?" And there was that edge to her voice, the opening of her anger. "I'm just curious. I'm not trying to start anything." "God damnit." She dropped her foot and spun toward me, and we locked gazes. "Do not fuck with me. What do you mean?" I moved my hands from her hips to her arms, sliding them down to hold her hands. She squeezed them rather than shove them away, which was good. She wasn't entirely mad, then. Just about to be. "It just seems like you use sex as a way of getting close to people, the people you want to be close to, like giving them sex is going to make them love you back." We looked at each other for a few seconds, and I gripped her hands tighter when she started to drop them out of mine. Her anger had washed away like it had never been there at all. "Don't tell me what we just did was just because you-" "I wouldn't do that, Cindy," I cut in. I had to, else she was going to start rollercoastering. "I wouldn't. I do like you. Don't you go starting thinking that us fucking has anything to do with me feeling sorry for you or anything like that. Don't." "I'm not a slut, then, for sleeping with all of you? I'm not a bad person for doing that?" I just shook my head and pulled her against me, but she shoved back. "No. I need to finish cleaning. I hate cold showers." She turned away again and turned the water all the way over to hot to get the last of it, then finished cleaning. I just pressed against her, slipping my arms around her stomach and holding her until she was done, and we stood like that for a minute once the water was off. "Are you using me?" she asked, turning back to face me. "Why would I be using you?" I returned, furrowing my brow at her. "I mean you three. Not just you." "Why would we be?" She just looked at me, then shook her head, drawing open the shower curtain and stepping out. "I don't know. I'm just thinking too much now, being stupid." I followed her out of the shower and grabbed her again. "Well don't. Don't question what we just did, or what you do with Sara or Kim. It's not bad or wrong or anything." "Not questioning is what got me stuck in a situation where I was tied up and gang raped, Mike. I trusted people too much, and it..." She screwed her face up in a grimace and pulled in a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose. "It burned me so god damn hard. I want to trust you three, I really do, but you have to understand that it's not easy for me to do that anymore." She drew in a deep breath and snatched a towel off the rack. "Oh, god damn my moods. I didn't want to leave like this. I wanted to stay in that happy zone you'd put me in when we fucked." I waited until she was done drying her hair, then ducked in when she flipped back up, catching her in a kiss. She made a negatory sound, but didn't try stopping me, and I cupped her face with one hand, lightly rubbing her cheek with my thumb as I moved up against her. I settled my other hand on her waist and held her, continuing the kiss until she dropped her face from mine and wrapped her arms around my neck, holding onto me. "You are loved," I said quietly into her ear, lightly running one hand along her back. "Honestly?" "Honestly." She pulled back enough that she could look at me, studying me. "You are welcome with us," I said, lifting a hand and brushing her hair behind her ear. "I'm not a problem?" "If you ever are, we'll tell you. But if we didn't like you or want to give you a chance, we wouldn't have kept talking with you after what happened with Kim, would we?" She was quiet a moment, thinking, and then said, "No, I suppose not. I never thought of that. Haven't had much experience with that, people coming back after I've been stupid." "You're part of the group if you're willing to be." She gave a small laugh and smile, then hugged me. "Thank you. You have no idea how much that means to me, people willing to accept me as I am." She pulled away and dropped a hand to my crotch, grabbing my dick with one hand and squeezing. "Now get dressed before you start getting me distracted." Chapter 19 Cindy was done dressing before I was, mainly because half her clothes were near at hand and mine were strewn all over the place. I had a hell of a time trying to find my underwear, because I had absolutely no recollection of where or when it had been removed. I vaguely remembered taking my pants off in the living room, and that they had been taken off after my shirt and shoes and socks, but after that was mostly a blur. I eventually found them in Jen's room on her bed, Sara lying on top of them. I grabbed them, added them to the rest of my clothes, then brought them with me as I followed Sara to the shower after we'd waited about ten minutes for the water to reheat. "I heard things with Cindy seemed to go ok," she said, fine tuning the water temperature while I squeezed her ass. She grabbed my hands and turned, then put them back on her ass as she pressed up against me. "What'd she want to talk about?" "She was feeling moody." I shrugged. "Like she didn't belong here or wasn't wanted. I think I managed to ease her mind for now, for the most part, but I don't know how long that'll last. She swings back and forth so much." Sara nodded and moved into the shower, closing the curtain only enough to keep the water from splashing out. I sat on the toilet and watched her. "Is she going to be ok?" "I don't know. You'd probably have a better idea than I do if it's going to stick, since you seem to understand her better. I managed to get her out of her little funk, but I really don't know if it'll last." She lifted her arms and turned, tilting her head back and wetting her hair, and I watched the small flexings of her muscles as she moved. She had a lot of small bruises, bite marks looked like, I hadn't noticed before, probably from last night. "You really are sexy," I said, which garnered a smile before she turned again to grab shampoo. "Was screwing her silly what she wanted? Or was that you?" "She wanted that. I'd hardly say no when she actually put my hands on her breasts and had me fondle her while we talked out on the porch, and then was all grabby." "Grabby?" Sara laughed, then tilted her head back again and started washing her hair. "Yes, grabby. Like you get when you're after my cock? I don't really see why it matters, though." "Because she uses sex to get close to people, but it has to be on her terms. I think she has a hard time connecting to people, otherwise." "I've noticed that. I asked her about that, actually." She tilted her head forward some and opened her eyes, giving me a brief look. "You shouldn't have." "Why? She was only defensive about it until I explained why I did. And she's said she's wanting to find herself again, so wouldn't you think that'd be something she'd need to understand about herself, why she does that?" She made a small noise and turned to rinse her hair. I waited. "You may be right," she said once she'd finished. She wrung the water from her hair, then lifted a leg and started washing her pussy. "Is she still here?" "As far as I know. Why?" "She said she wanted to talk with both of us, didn't she?" "Should I go find her?" She shook her head and grinned, looking down at my crotch. "You still have life in that cock of yours?" "You already know the answer to that," I laughed, already starting to rise, in both ways. I leaned into the shower and pinched one of her nipples, pulling her toward me for a kiss. "But there's not enough hot water left to fool around. Cindy and I used it all." "I don't care." She grabbed my hand and held it in place, and I rolled her nipple between my fingers as she nipped at my lip. "I can lean forward, and it'll be on my back. I want you in my ass again and I don't want to wait until we're back at your place or my place. Now get in here." She grabbed my dick and pulled, moving backward at the same time and dragging me into the shower with her. The water was already tepid, which was ok, since I wasn't in it for long. I stepped right through the spray and pressed her against the wall as she grabbed a bar of soap, getting it wet and rolling it in her hand. I covered her body with mine, rocking my dick against her lower belly and squeezing one of her breasts. She moaned and trembled as I pinched hard on her nipple, twisting it back and forth, and she clutched at me, biting at my shoulder as she continued to roll the soap in her free hand. "What's the soap for?" "Lube," she answered, dropping it back into its tray and pushing me back a bit to drop her soapy hand down to my dick. She stroked me as she moved my free hand to her other nipple. "I'm not wet enough this time to do it that way." "You? Not wet?" I smiled as I pinched her nipples harder and pulled up, making her draw in a breath and growl down in her throat, her hand squeezing hard on my dick. "It's your fault. You've turned me into a nympho. And it's beside the point that I already was." I laughed as she grinned and shuffled sideways, still working my dick as she put herself between me and the water. "And as soon as you let go of my nipples- Oh fuck!" She bit at my shoulder and squeezed my dick even harder, whimpering and shaking as I pinched her nipples as hard as I could. I rolled them for a few seconds before easing up, making her gasp and pant, and then I did it again for longer until she started digging her nails into my shoulder, perilously close to the holes Cindy had just given me. "They're going to be SO sensitive now," she gasped, then shoved me back a step and turned around, pointing her ass at me. She looked back over her shoulder and ran her soapy hand between her ass cheeks, teasing her fingers over her asshole. "Are you going to fuck me or not?" "With an invitation like that? I'd be mad not to." She grinned and turned back around as I grabbed her hips and scooted her back toward me. I ran one hand around her and down to her pussy as she leaned forward and grabbed the water knobs, working her clit as I positioned my dick at the entrance to her ass. I didn't slide in just yet, though. I circled my dick on her anus and started flicking my fingers on her clit, which prompted a hungry, impatient growl, and she rocked her ass at me. I waited a few more seconds, then pressed into her, slowly, and she moaned and tightened her grip on the faucets. I leaned over her once I was completely in her, unmindful of the now slightly less than room temperature water, and turned her face toward mine, biting at her lip as I flexed in her. She gasped and I felt her ass tighten on me, and she continued to tighten. "Ready to cum?" I asked, getting a breathless, "Uh huh," in response. "Cum for me, then." I straightened, but only enough to grab her hair and pull her head back, and I pinched her clit between my fingers and pulled as I started fucking her ass. She tensed and ground back against me, but that stopped almost immediately as she started to shudder and twitch as she came. I shifted my hand from her hair to her mouth to muffle her, and she gave a startled cry before starting to moan even more. She obviously wasn't interested in delayed orgasms, so I did what got the best reactions: short and fast strokes. Though I'm sure it helped, too, that I was constantly working her clit, and she was cumming again a few seconds later, and I buried myself as deep as I could. It was different, feeling her orgasm from in her ass instead of her pussy, less encompassing, which was probably also partly the different friction. Not as wet, but tighter. I waited until the strongest of her spasms had passed and then started fucking her again, letting go of her mouth and releasing her clit so I could grab her hips. She dropped her head forward and moaned in time with my strokes, and I planted my feet a little wider to keep my balance as I fucked her even faster. Which, unexpectedly, also made me cum much faster than usual. I growled and squeezed her hips, arching forward as I pulled her back onto me, and she trembled as I came in her ass. I felt her own minor spasms as my orgasm waned, and I pulled her up toward me, not pulling out of her ass, even though I'd lost about half my hard on. "That was definitely better not drunk," she said, turning enough to kiss me. "And we even have enough hot water left to not be cleaning up in an ice cold shower." "I blame you." I returned her kiss and lightly bit her lip as I slid out of her ass. "You just feel too good." "I'll take that as a compliment, mister." She handed me the soap. "Now clean yourself." Chapter 20 "You're just all kinds of lucky today," Jason said as I came into the living room. "Two women in one hour?" He slid one hand through the air in front of him, the other flat on his chest as he sang, "Smooooooooooth operatoooooor." Sara and Cindy were out on the back porch, Kit had migrated to Jen's room - from where we could all hear the two of them going at it again - and Kim was still playing the same game she had been when I'd seen her earlier. Jason and I were sitting on the couch eating left over pizza. "That's nothing new," Kim said absently. "Actually, it is," I corrected. "Cindy and I haven't done anything before today." "That's not what I meant." "You and I haven't done anything." Kim shrugged. "We could if you wanted." "That's more up to you, isn't it? You haven't really shown any interest." She paused the game and looked at me, giving me a look I couldn't read. We stared at each other for a few seconds, and she just shook her head to my, "What?" before going back to the game. I turned to Jason as he held up a hand, three fingers up and eyebrows raised in a question. I just shrugged and shook my head. "How badly drunk was everyone last night?" I asked Jason. "Other than you, Cindy, and Kim here? We've been worse. Although-" he glanced at the hall, "-I'm hoping Jen was too drunk to remember the worst clashes with your sexy friend out with Sara. But I don't think that's going to be the case, so I think next time she gets invited to a party with us is going to be on a trial make-or-break basis." "She's not going to be happy about that." "Jen wasn't very nice to her from the start," Kim said. "Cindy would've been fine if she hadn't been a bitch about everything." Jason laughed. "Oh, I know, and I'm going to make sure Jen knows, too. That's why I told them to shut up or leave. They both owe apologies, is the thing, but I know Jen doesn't make a habit of that, and I didn't get the impression Cindy does, either." "She will if she has a reason." "You'll have to give her reason, 'cause Jen almost certainly won't." Kim just nodded and absorbed her attention with the game again, and we were all quiet until Sara and Cindy came back in. "Good talk?" I asked as they came into the living room. "I hope your ears weren't burning too badly," Cindy said and grinned. Sara smiled and reddened, settling next to me on the couch. "They are now," I laughed. She blew me a kiss before kneeling next to Kim and putting her arms around her. Kim dropped the controller and turned to do the same as they kissed. Cindy gave Kim's breasts a squeeze before standing. "I'm going to head out. I have errands to get done, like getting my money in the bank before they close." "Mind if I come?" Kim asked, smiling innocently as she snaked a hand up Cindy's calf and thigh. Cindy grinned down at her. "That's a very distracting way to ask, you know. I may end up just taking you home with me." "Yay!" Kim bounced up and clapped, and Cindy laughed. "I may have to, anyway, because you're wearing my underwear." She looked at me and Sara. "Would that be a problem?" "As long as she calls to let mom and dad know where she's at," Sara answered. "It should be fine, since they know you're a friend of ours." "I have a phone," Kim said, sticking her tongue out at her sister. "They can call me, too, you know." "You want the liquor I brought with me, tattoo man?" Cindy looked at Jason. "Or should I take it home with me?" Jason shrugged and lifted his cup of coffee in salute. "Up to you, pretty woman. I won't turn it down, but it is yours." "I'll leave it. I don't drink at home." Jason grinned. "My thanks, ma'am." Cindy nodded and pushed Kim in the direction of Jason's room with a, "Go get dressed. I'll be in the car." Sara and I followed her out, and she gave each of us a hug and kiss while we waited for Kim. "Thank you both, for last night, and for today. Having you do all you've done really helped keep me from losing it." "I'm sure Kim deserves some of the thanks," Sara said. "She did a lot of distracting, too." "She did, and she got thanked for it and then some." She laughed. "I'm really surprised she hasn't killed you yet with how insatiable she is." "She's only that bad with you. I'm usually the worse one." "Speak of the devil," I said, spying Kim as she stepped out the front door and hopped down to us. "I ain't no devil, Mr Man," she said, sticking her tongue out at me, then turned to Cindy. "Ready?" "As long as you promise to keep the groping to a minimum until we get to my place." Kim mock pouted, then grabbed both of Cindy's breasts and squeezed before scurrying around to the passenger side. Cindy just shook her head and unlocked the car. Kim clambered in and Cindy turned back to me and Sara. "Another time, another place? Any dates set?" "I don't think there's anything solid," I said. "I know at least one thing that is," Sara said, smiling innocently, and Cindy made a pleasant sound of agreement. "Besides that, naughty girl." She grinned and kissed me, and I slipped an arm around her waist as she leaned against me. "We'll call, I think. I think the party was the only big plan for a while." "Alright," Cindy said, nodding, then gave us each another kiss. "See you two later, then." We waved and watched them pull out, then headed back inside to help clean and put stuff away before taking our own leave. *** ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This story was written as an adult fantasy.
