[[Story start|Intimate afternoon]] [[Table of Contents]] [[Extras]]

I stood panting and sweating as I leaned against the door. The cool hardwood pressed into my back was the only reprieve I had from the extreme heat coursing through my body. Her moans echoed out of the bathroom and rattled my brain. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oooh! Right there! ~Ooh…oh god…I-I can’t…! I’m gonna lose it…if we go on too much longer! I couldn’t believe she’d kept it together this long as is. I had expected her to be done in fifteen minutes, yet she’d already been in there for forty-five. Her voice was raw with use and animalistic passion. My vision started to blur and my thoughts became a mess. With how overwhelmed I was, it was all I could do to stand up. I hunched over and caught the door handle to steady myself. The clack of the metal knob failing to open cut through the air and I paused for an instant to look at the door. Her noises redoubled and the pace picked up dramatically. I could hear flesh pounding and liquid violently splashing against the tile flooring. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ahh darling! Can you hear how wet I am? Oh, my love! I’m so close! He’s so good! I started to breathe harder as the blood rushed to my head. She matched me as her moans quickly morphed into shallow telltale gasps. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I know it was only supposed to be a few minutes, but I just couldn’t get enough! I’m...I’m sorry! ~Ahh, //fuck//! I’m gonna-! Her vocals hitched and she cried out in ecstasy, unable to continue speaking as she was taken into the throes of orgasm. I fell to my knees and my vision darkened as everything I had emptied out of me. I stayed there in a haze and leaned my face against the door, emptily staring into the mahogany. [[Suddenly the door opened]]

I lost my balance and fell onto the bathroom floor. Instead of meeting unforgiving tiles, however, I was greeted by a pillow of soft, sweaty skin and a startled yelp. My vision shifted upwards and I found myself looking into the eyes of my girlfriend, Nia. Her soft rounded features carried a look of worry as she met my gaze. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Em? Are you okay? She spoke slowly and softly, a bit haggard from her recent activities. A curious look developed on her face; brows raised and head cocked sideways. It was cute. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em? You there hun? Her hands slid tenderly along my face as she probed me, then settled in a cradle between her thighs and my neck. Despite her obvious concern, I couldn't focus myself enough to answer. I felt bad, but tearing my attention away from her was impossible. Her piercing green eyes and the flush in her cheeks. The fresh rivulets of sweat, which traced down her neck and into her softly heaving bust. The supple firmness of her thighs against my head. The smell of her wafting from under me...no, permeating the entire room. She was stunning in the most literal sense. It was all I could do to form coherent thoughts. She pursed her lips in a pout and turned towards the bedroom. Whoops, probably made her salty by not answering. It seemed like she was going to snark at me, but chose to stay quiet. After a brief moment, a sly grin spread across her face. Nia looked back towards me and flashed the playful grin I fell in love with all those years ago. Her eyes sparkled. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey now~... Her voice crept into a sultry tone once more. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You're still hard, you perv~. How was that not enough for you? You had to’ve cum like four times! The entryway is completely covered! My lips curled up in response. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry Nia, I can never get enough of you. A softer blush spread across her already flush face and her smile grew wider. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No complaints from me. My bastard partner here made me do all the work! Took forever to cum. She gestured toward her “partner”, a large sex toy hung in her hand. The eight inch ombre dildo we’d bought a few months back to try livening up our sessions. She threw it carelessly into the bedroom. I wondered why she was habitually rough with him after use. I could swear they had a love/hate relationship. She leaned down and gently pressed her lips against mine. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Be gentle with me, okay? I’m a little sore. We stayed connected like that for some time, the rest of the world blissfully melting away. The gentleness was brief, however, and heat crept between us as we got more aggressive with our affection. I could feel her getting antsy as we continued, and it wasn’t long before she cut to the chase and picked me up off the floor. She ran me over in a bridal carry, practically tackling me into the bed as her assault continued. I couldn’t help but laugh into her mouth. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What was that you said about “being gentle”? Her grin was manic and predatory now as she loomed over me. She snarled in response. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, I told you to be gentle with me. I didn’t say anything about being gentle with you~. [[She ate me alive]]

The two of us laid breathless in bed, sheets basically sopping by that point. A few last spasms crawled through my body and drew a sensual sigh from beneath me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Easy hun~. You’re still pressing on my hotspot. I shakily scooped my hands out from under her back and lifted myself just enough to slide out. That was as far as I could manage before falling back into her warm embrace. Nia’s hands massaged my back as I nuzzled my face into her neck. It was dim in the room, the faded sunset our only light source. In the distance I could hear the sound of after work traffic clogging up the nearby intersection. A small pit of sadness formed in my stomach. The real world had begun to intrude on our bubble. Maybe sensing my mood, one of Nia’s hands migrated to my head and lightly massaged my scalp. I buried myself deeper between her neck and the soggy pillows. A light titter escaped her lips. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Feeling a little needy? How couldn’t I when she was spoiling me like this? I nodded and hugged her tightly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Not even ready to talk yet? My little Em is sooo hopeless~. I could hear that unmistakable flirty tone creep back into her words. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re always such a space case when we fuck~. What am I gonna do with you? She met my grasp and tightly wrapped around me. We stayed like that quietly for a while. This was trouble, I was going to fall asleep if this kept up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey…did you have fun? Thankfully the question broke me from the stupor before I could get completely lost in it. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah absolutely, you really killed it this time. You’re getting better at acting. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heheh, glad to hear it. I don’t deserve too much credit though, I really did feel like I was going to lose it by the end there. My arms and legs are so stiff, man… Happiness swelled in my heart; I felt unbelievably lucky that she worked so hard for me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thank you so much hun. I couldn’t ask for a better girlfriend. This time she nuzzled her face into //my// neck. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You make it easy by being so awesome. Blood rushed to my face. I must’ve looked near crimson. She really was the best. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: How about you? Did you enjoy it? I know you said you’re sore, but you’ve always told me a good workout left you the most satisfied. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ah, a convenient excuse for you to not feel guilty huh Em? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ahaha, I’m just saying. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah yeah, I see what game you’re playing here. Her sassy attitude faltered as she immediately snorted at her own retort. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, I had fun. I still feel like I don’t totally //get it// yet, you know? But the way we do it pushes my buttons enough, and seeing how crazy horny you get is such a turn on for me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You know, for someone who doesn’t “get it” you do a really great job. The lines you used this time really did it for me. Oh man, especially when you apologized for being in there so long! I felt my dick harden against her stomach at the memory. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Easy stud, we need to get some sleep. Got an early morning to deal with tomorrow. This elicited a groan. I didn’t want to think about the start of the semester. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I know I know. But hey it’s not gonna be all work, there’s a lot of good stuff coming up too. She definitely wasn't wrong. We were finishing our degrees this year, moving in together this winter, and then there’s also… My thoughts were frozen solid. Had she’d given it more thought since we discussed it last week? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: On that topic…I’m still feeling a little anxious about…you know, what we talked about before… Guess it was on her mind too. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …I’ve been feeling nervous about it here and there as well. Do you want to just forget about it? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No. No, it’s not like that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Are you sure, Nia? We don’t need to take the play that far if we don’t want to. I don’t want you to force yourself if- (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah dude, I’m being serious… Sorry to interrupt you like that — it just really isn’t like that. More that…it’s a lot to think about. We adjusted our positions, hands intertwined and facing squarely at one another. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s not like we haven’t been together with other people before, but… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: But it’s different when we’re together already? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah exactly…especially when it’s been so long. I got so used to the idea that we’d never touch anyone else like this again. The roleplay is one thing, but actually doing it…? Also I’m just kinda…I dunno, what if things are different between us after? What if you’re different? What if I’m different? I… She took a deep breath, likely stopping to collect herself before getting overwhelmed. I shook my head and leaned against Nia’s forehead with my own. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Even if the small details of our feelings change, I will never, never, love you any less. I can’t picture a future where I don’t love you more every day. I ''know'' you feel the same way too. And if anything happens? We’ll make it through as a team. I trust us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …You’re right. I know you’re right. I just feel like it’s easy to say that before, when nothing has happened yet. Nia returned my earlier gesture and rubbed her forehead against mine. I pulled her body towards me and met her lips with a soft peck. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We can decide this later. It’s getting late and we’re not on a time limit or anything. For now, we need to change the sheets and get ready for bed. She brightened up and cupped my cheek in her hand, before giving me a smirk and a light pinch. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nuh uh dude, you think you’re getting out of cleaning the swamp you left on the floor before bed? That shit is going to ruin the wood if we leave it and you are not losing the deposit on my watch. //I’ll// take care of the sheets. Well fuck… [[Dawn of the first day]]

Oh man, only an hour in and the day already felt like it was going to be a long one. As I stood waiting for Nia I cracked the door of my apartment for some fresh air. No matter how much I tried, rubbing my face couldn’t quite loosen the hold sleep had on me. Maybe the cooler morning breeze would help me shake it off. Nia stopped at the end of the entryway looking slightly flustered. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Emery? Do you know where my bag is? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah I packed it for you this morning while I was making coffee. Remember? I told you when you were getting in the shower. She facepalmed and I couldn’t help but smile. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em you know how I am when I just wake up… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry love, I should’ve reminded you. I didn’t realize that’s what you were looking for, or I would have said something. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, it’s not your fault. Thank you for doing that. She collected the rest of her things from the living room and made her way to the kitchen in a haste. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I already put some lunch in your bag too. She rounded the corner with a breakfast bar partially shoved into her mouth. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh my bad. Should I make two breakfast sandwiches for you going forward? She waved her hand dismissively before she could finish swallowing. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m not actually that hungry. The swimming club asked for me to help them set up their booth stuff for the freshmen. I just wanted the extra energy in case it takes a while. I rolled my eyes lightheartedly and chuckled a bit. They were so needy with her sometimes. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You’re too soft on them, agreeing to favors before the semester has even started. You might as well still be in the club. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: C’mon cut me a little bit of slack here. You know I can’t say no to Lucy! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I get it. As long as she’s not working you too hard. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t worry man, I can handle it. It’s the other members I need to watch out for anyways hehe. She walked over to me and pulled my head into her chest, giving me a kiss on the head. I appreciated the intimacy, not to mention the softness, but felt the smallest bit of frustration bristle against the otherwise good mood. She knew I wasn’t fond of being manhandled like that…outside the bedroom, at least… As if reading my thoughts, she let go and went to get her shoes on. Had I been that obvious without realizing it? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: My bad. I just get excited. You know I don’t mean anything by it. She sighed lightly and rubbed the back of her neck. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I do it before I even realize! I just can’t help it when you’re so cute! The sincerity in her voice made it hard for me to hold onto any negative emotion. She’s such an affectionate person, I know how Nia is. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It’s on me at the end of the day. I’d prefer you didn’t hold back on your affection just cause I’m a little… I struggled to use the dreaded word. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Childish about this specific issue. It’s not like you’re even tall, I just need to get over my thing about being…the way I am. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: If it makes you feel any better, you’re a lot more confident about it than you used to be. You wouldn’t even let me call you cute back in high school. I closed in and gave her a one armed hug, kissing her jaw before I withdrew. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thanks hun. Hopefully it doesn’t take another six years huh? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Even if it does Em, even if it does. I pushed open the door and took Nia’s hand. The two of us headed out into the dimly lit morning. [[We made our way to campus]]

There was more buzz on our walk over than I had imagined for the time of day. Living close to the campus meant I saw more students than your typical commuter, but in the two plus years I’d lived here this was definitely more than usual. Maybe they changed the policies for staying in the dormitories? I’d have to ask Jun when I get a chance. As we made our way into the campus, a familiar feminine voice loudly catcalled from the front of the gym facilities. (text-colour:orange)[???]: Hey lovebirds! How's it hanging? I winced a little at the volume, but that’s just how she’d always been. It was a relatively small price to pay for her company. Nia and I turned toward the perpetrator and waved. Lucy was leaning against the brick archway of the building’s front entrance. She waved back and wore a bright smile. Nia let go of my hand and jogged over to give her a hug. Lucy followed her lead and they met halfway, the two of them bouncing warmly into one another’s arms. It was sweet to see them like that again; it had been far too long since they’d been able to see each other in person. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Augh Luce you bitch, you should’ve warned me you were wet! Nia let go quickly and looked at her shirt, which was now thoroughly soaked through. Lucy laughed loudly and put her arm over Nia’s shoulders. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Yeah maybe, but if I did then would you've given me a hug? Nia pursed her lips at her friend and raised an eyebrow. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Think you’re fooling me? I bet you got me wet so I wouldn’t mind helping you with the pool equipment. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Ahaha you’ve got my number, don’t you? I wasn’t lying though, I did want a hug too. I’ll buy you another coffee to make up for it afterwards, kay? I promise. She clapped her hands in mock apology and continued giggling. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Why do you think I want another, huh? Also…how are you so sure I had one in the first place? (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Oh please girl, who do you think you are fooling? You’re a disaster in the morning. You probably stayed over at Emery’s place just to get up on time. She slid behind Nia while she spoke and patted her back in a rather patronizing way. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: And if you’re going to try and be coy with me, maybe don’t confirm that you did have one before asking that question. Nia gave a cartoonish huff and petulantly stamped her foot at Lucy’s effortless comebacks, but stayed otherwise silent. Lucy turned towards me and flashed me her winning smile. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Looking good today, Emery. You treating my girl well while I’ve been busy? I returned her grin with a warm smile of my own. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Trying my best. Hard to replace you though! She swished her hand playfully at my compliment and gave me a light slap on the arm. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Oh please Em, she’s like puddy in your hands. You see how tricky I have to be to get her to work with me? I could never replace you. Nia suddenly jumped between us and wrapped her arms around our necks, pulling us into an uneven pseudo group hug. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nuh uh. No replacing anybody, thanks. I need both of you. Both Lucy and I cracked up at this, closing the semi-circle to form the complete hug Nia was not so subtly craving. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: We didn’t mean literally girl, chill. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah yeah course. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t worry Nia, she was just buttering me up to see if I would help too. A big exaggerated frown spread across Lucy’s face. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Aw, you won’t? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You know how important it is for me to stay on top of my studies. When I have a little more free time I’d be happy to. An impish expression replaced her frown. I had a feeling she was planning on me saying something like that… (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Relaaax, you guys are too serious. I’ll totally be holding you to that though Em, since you promised and all. We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and quipped at each other as the sun progressively rose higher. The three of us eventually broke apart, with the girls toward the gym and myself towards the lecture halls. I grabbed Nia’s hand and pulled her in for a quick kiss, which she eagerly returned. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You think you’ll be done with everything about two-ish? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Around that time, I think. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, let’s meet back up here and we’ll go out for a date. You didn’t have to work or help with your siblings tonight, right? She gave me one last hug and nodded her head. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No worries, I'm open. Sounds like a plan. I love you! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I love you too! Have fun! She and Lucy turned towards the gym doors and walked away. Their chat started up again as they were out of sight. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Ooo, another date? Making me jealous over here. Think you’re staying over again tonight? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Maybe? I dunno, I’m still sorta feeling it from what we did las- The door drowned out the rest of the response from Nia. I covered my expression with my hands. Even back in high school they always liked to share sex talk, but for some reason I never managed to get used to the embarrassment. Likely it had something to do with me not being privy to exactly //how much// Lucy was in on. I knew it was nothing to worry about though. Nia shared with Lucy often, but she wouldn’t spill any of the exact details. Even if she did accidentally say too much, which admittedly happened once or twice, Lucy wasn’t the judgemental type. Plus I mean, my fetishes weren’t //that// weird…right? I continued onward, wondering how the hell I was going to ask someone to partner up with us if just the idea of admitting it to Lucy was distressing. I shrugged, we’d just have to cross that bridge when we came to it. [[Classroom conversations]]

Sitting in the lecture halls early was always a nice way to focus. They had a still calmness to them, and the studiousness of the environment made it easy for me to concentrate. I sat there for some time getting the prepwork done for class; making sure I had all the reading material, summer work, notes, syllabus, and other relevant forms. With everything in order, I decided some last second overviews of the reading would kill time productively. I settled in and cracked open the thick textbook. I felt like I was prepared for whatever the day was going to throw at me. People slowly filed in, some faces known and some not. It was surprising to see all the new faces given the level of the class, but I was hardly social enough to be familiar with everyone in my department in the first place. I continued reading a little longer, until eventually I was interrupted by Jun patting my back as he fell into the adjacent seat. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Ay dude, haven’t seen ya in a hot minute. I jerked at the sudden touch. He had come from the other end of the room and scooted through the whole far end of the bench. He must’ve decided to sneak up on me when he saw how concentrated I was. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Ahaha, sorry to startle you man. I forgot how jumpy you can be sometimes. …Or not, I forget he’s not as calculating as Lucy. I made a disgruntled face at him, but it melted away as soon as it came. His relaxed energy and calm cadence were seldom unwelcome. Not to mention he was right, it really had been a while since we’ve seen each other. A minor scare was a small price to pay. I put the book down and turned his way. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey man, missed you too. I grabbed Jun’s bag for him as he took off his sweater and got himself situated. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: What’s good? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Life’s good. Bummed that we have to get back into the grind, but I’m glad I’m not sitting around the house being antsy anymore. Jun stretched himself on the back of the bench, then rested against the desk. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not gonna get out any of your paperwork? Jun shot me a sideways smirk. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Who do ya think you’re talkin’ to here? I gave Jun a bit of a theatrical bow and put on an affected accent. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m very sorry sir, I have been most impetuous. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: You’re damn right. He let out a slow laugh and leaned further into the desk, then turned his head so we could each see the other despite the angle. I leaned my elbow against the desk and faced him. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You do you Jun, I’m just saying. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: I appreciate the input, as usual, Mr. Model Student. You know I manage fine without the notes. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, you lucky bastard. If I were you I wouldn’t have to study nearly as hard. He shrugged in his typical blase fashion. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Well if I were you, I’d be in the top of the grade and have a kick-ass girlfriend. We can’t have it all my boy. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I guess when you put it that way, there’s no way I’d trade hahaha. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Damn, some ice cold shit. He languidly threw his head back into a dramatic sigh and clutched his heart as if he’d been stabbed. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Eh you’ll manage. You’ve got a lot going for you in your own right. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: No kidding? I feel ten times better now bro. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Screw you too. The two of us chuckled and relaxed for a moment. It was nice to be able to unwind a bit before class. Jun was always good for that. As the students came in greater numbers, my thoughts from earlier this morning popped back to the forefront of my mind. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh yeah, I meant to ask you something. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Shoot, daddio. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You live in the dorms right? It seems like there are a lot more people than usual on campus. Nia and I came in early and it was still fairly busy. Was there a change of some kind? Jun let out a groan and slinked his head back, letting his mouth fall open as he went. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That bad, huh? (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Yeah they changed some stuff last minute and made things complicated for everyone who'd been staying in the dorms a while. He rolled his shoulders as if just recounting this was making him tired. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Guess a lot of the new blood’s families wanted their kids to get the full college experience and they were pissed that so many people were paying extra to take up entire dorm rooms themselves. A lot of people have to share now, moi included. I heard some people even had to relocate. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well while that sucks, I can’t say I’m too shocked. With the reputation it has, it’s a kind of wonder the institution hasn’t had something like this come up already. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Heh, maybe the amount of money being offered finally outweighed the money they’ve been making? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’d be surprised if finances didn’t play a part. They might get subsidies, but it is still a private school tied up in a lot of businesses. This isn’t really my field though so… I shrugged. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Honestly, it just makes me glad I don’t live in the dorms. I bet they downgraded scholarship students first. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Yeah prolly. Didn’t fuck em over too bad I hope…On the bright side my roomie is pree chill, so I’m aight with things for now. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well that’s good to hear. Our chit chat died out as the professor came into the room. Seems like it was finally time to get the ball rolling. [[More than one ball gets rolling]]

Roughly half an hour into the lecture I heard the back door on my side of the room open. The professor paused for the briefest of seconds to assess, then continued seamlessly thereafter. I admired his ability to stay focused and keep the flow; I’m sure the last thing he or the person opening the door wanted was to have it be a spectacle. I made a note in my personal tutoring book to get more practice with that. A soft series of steps came closer, until their owner sat down in the empty spot next to me. Ah, that explains it even more. Certainly didn’t want to draw attention to a late student. Between notes I shifted some of my books to give them extra space. I checked to make sure I was leaving them enough room. (text-colour:purple)[???]: Sorry about that. Thank y- Oh, hey Emery! Fuck, am I happy to see a familiar face here! Her whispering my name in such a warm way stopped me in my tracks. Did I know a girl in my department that I was on such friendly terms with? Surely not, but the voice sounded familiar. I turned and was surprised to see who the late student was; it was Rina! I had no idea we attended the same classes. I don’t remember ever seeing her in any of them before — in fact, I could’ve sworn she told me at some point she was in general studies. I smiled and gave her a small wave of my hand. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey Rina, good to see you too! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Did I miss anything important yet? She unzipped her bag and set up all of the papers and materials while asking. She organized it all neatly and quickly started copying what the professor hadn’t erased from the board yet. I tilted my hand back and forth in a so-so gesture. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nothing too major, but I wouldn’t say nothing important either. We just got through the introductory portion. Mostly some fundamentals, a few definitions and a smidge of history related to those. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ah shit, I hate not having notes for material like that. She scratched the back of her head and looked at her paper nervously. I felt her pain. Missing core concepts like these made it hard for me to do referencing down the line. I didn’t know she was so diligent about her study work. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey…don’t worry about trying to catch up to everything. He already erased some of the board earlier anyways. You can just copy that portion of my notes when the lecture is over. She beamed at me like I had literally just saved her life. She moved to hug me but stopped, I assume she thought that wouldn’t be appropriate at this time. She settled instead to put her hand on my thigh and gave it a gentle squeeze. I felt myself freeze up at the rather intimate touch. I questioned if doing that was actually the better call, but didn’t say nor do anything about it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You’re the best dude, thank you! I’m so glad you were the one sitting here! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Happy to help. She let go and immediately got to work on her notes. Upon our separation an unintentionally held breath seemed to escape me. I returned to my notes as well and continued working. Every now and then, however, I found myself stealing glances at Rina without meaning to. Rina had clearly been sweating hard before she arrived. I wondered if they had basketball practice beforehand and ran later than expected. She had her hair — which was much longer than I remembered — tied up in the wrapped braid she tended to use during training, so that would track. That wouldn’t explain why her casual clothes were covered in sweat though, would it? Teams typically take showers after their activities, and even if they don’t, they practice in other sets of clothes. I’ll ask her about that later when we’re exchanging notes… I stopped and thought about what I was doing. Sneaking peeks at her again and again? Overthinking about her schedule? Eugh…almost positive I was being creepy right now. We might’ve been friendly for the last two years as I was helping the team with everything, but this still didn't feel quite right… I couldn’t tell why exactly I was so drawn to her at the moment. My thoughts did tend to wander, but as far as I knew my habit of overanalyzing things wasn't usually this unsavory. Was the combination of her arriving late and accepting a favor with no hesitance throwing me off harder than I thought? Something was tugging at the back of my mind about her — like I was working on a nearly resolved math problem — but I couldn’t parse it while trying to focus on the lecture… I made an active effort to stop and intensified my attention on the class. Time flew by, ink sprawled across pages, and sure enough, the lecture was over before I knew it. [[Shared notes and rumors]]

As class came to a close I stretched and decided to give my handiwork a quick overview. I felt satisfied by the results. The practice courses I had taken over the summer were absolutely worth the extra effort. Several soft taps on my shoulder pulled my attention away from the clean notation and towards Rina. She had packed up all of her work and was wearing an apologetic look. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hey I’m really sorry, but something came up and I gotta run sooner than I expected. Would it be cool if I just took a pic of the notes with my phone? That was hardly an issue, I wasn’t the type to be stingy with my notes in most classes. I couldn’t help but wonder what had come up to make her need to leave so suddenly though. She seemed to be in quite a rush; maybe it was just the hectic nature of the first day back? I chastised myself and pulled back the thought process. I already swore I wasn’t going to keep doing that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: For sure, no problem at all. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Thanks so much dude. You’re really saving my ass here. I’m gonna pay you back big time for this one! No wonder she had accepted my help. I could tell from her tone that she really meant it. The pace Rina set gave me no reason to doubt either. With frankly baffling speed she snapped a rapid succession of pictures, neatly reorganized the pages, handled them back, and almost jumped out of her seat. She turned and shot me a glowing expression. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sorry to dip like this. Let’s catch up soon, I’ll text you when I’m less busy. And say hi to Nia for me too. She pointed a finger gun at me and winked, then proceeded to blitz up the stairs, smoothly gliding through the traffic as if it was second nature to her. With the hurricane passed, I turned back to my things and started packing them all up. Jun peered up at me from the nest he’d built between his arms on his stretch of desk; a look of curiosity painted him. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Since when were you so tight with Rina? I cocked an eyebrow at him, genuinely surprised by his interest in our relationship. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Could swear I’ve mentioned this, but I occasionally volunteer to help with miscellaneous work that our clubs and teams need. She’s on the basketball team, ergo we’ve been together often over the years. We’ve been friendly since she started as a freshman. I guess you wouldn’t have seen us since you’re never around those parts of campus. I shrugged and finished packing up my bag. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: You mentioned that you did that, yeah. You never mentioned you were friends with Rina. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Is that so surprising? (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Nah mane, I just mean… He held his tongue briefly. I could hear the cogs turning in his head. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Well, you know, actually a little surprising yeah. She doesn’t hang out with guys very often. On top of that you're a model student, and she’s got some rumors floating around her. He puts his hands up in a preemptive defense. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: I’m not saying they’re all true, but //some// of them are. Figured you avoided people who might make it hard to keep a good reputation here. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You know I don’t care for the student politics that go on. If I can, I try to just stay in my lane and get my work done. I waited and collected myself. I didn’t want to come across as defensive. I liked Rina, but I didn’t want to give people the wrong impression of our relationship. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: As far as rumors go, they’ve never come up around her and I don’t ask about them. Most of the stuff is about her being a flirt, right? Jun nodded, continuing to listen as I spoke. He was more interested in this than I suspected. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: She’s just popular cause she’s the basketball team’s ace. I do think she can be a little more physically affectionate than some people are comfortable with, but I’ve never seen her be outright inappropriate. It's easy to see how some people might get the wrong idea I suppose. I’m just saying, in my opinion, there’s hardly anything worth spreading rumors over. Jun looked like he had something he wanted to say, but wasn’t quite sure how to put it. Eventually he seemed to scrap the idea all together, choosing to simply settle back into his more relaxed state and melt into the table. (text-colour:grey)[Jun]: Fair enough. Guess I was just bein’ lazy and going off what I’ve heard. My b, man. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: //You// being lazy? I’d never make an accusation like that. We smirked at each other and finished getting ready to head out. Even if the next lecture wouldn’t be starting for a while, it was better to be there early. [[Waiting for Nia]]

Little else eventful happened for the rest of the day. Classes went by without a hitch — all the professors were either personable or those I had developed good terms with previously, and the upcoming assignments weren’t too demanding. I waited outside the gym building for Nia. It was a little early, so I killed some time by basking in the afternoon weather. The full heat of the summer season had begun waning, leaving behind a pleasant warmth that made relaxing in a tree’s shade idyllic. Feet kicked up and back against the trunk, I took the opportunity to close my eyes and enjoy things as they were. Nia sat down beside me at some point into my meditation. The two of us stayed there in silence, savoring the tranquil nature of this experience. Of course I didn’t know for sure it was her, but I didn’t know anyone else who else would be sitting with me intimately like this. My suspicions were confirmed when my back was gently guided from the bark of the tree and I was placed against an all too familiar softness. I welcomed the feeling by rubbing against the supple firmness. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yesterday was the first time in a while I laid in your lap. Did you miss it? If you want to do this more often I’m not gonna complain. I snuggled against her, exhaling as the new comfort caused my body to further unwind. Nia brushed her fingers against my hair, parting it away from the front of my face and off to the side. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Did I wake you up? I wanted to watch you longer. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not sleeping, simply resting my eyes and basking in our fine weather. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: “Resting my eyes”, eh? Nice try Em, I’ve heard that line before. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well you’re not entirely wrong. If we stay like this for too much longer then you’re going to make a liar out of me for real. I conceded that it was probably time to end this and exhaled once more, this time in disappointment. My muscles were already protesting their coming usage. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We should get going though. It’s not going to be much of a date if we fall asleep here. We both got a kick out of that. I welcomed back the brightness of the world and was rewarded with the most beautiful girl I’ve ever known. Her shoulder length red hair perfectly caught the rays of sun that escaped the branches above. Her vivid green eyes danced with the bright surroundings outside our natural canopy. I lifted my arms above my head and wrapped them blindly around her waist. She returned the gesture by massaging my forearms. We looked toward the other expectantly, the rest of the day full of possibilities. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Dinner then a movie at my place sound good? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So, long walk and a movie at your place? We stared blankly at each other before bursting into a fit of giggles at our synchronized suggestions — it seemed we were on the same basic wavelength. Perhaps we were too excited for having only spent a few hours apart, but being together now I realized it had felt far longer. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Leisurely stroll to a restaurant, then a couple movies at my place? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Let’s stop by the store after dinner first. I’m pretty sure you’re out of popcorn from last week. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You’re making your own bowl. I can’t stand the sweet toppings you put on yours. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah? Well you put too much spice on yours! So there! She stuck out her tongue at me and scrunched up her face. I could tell we were going to be in for a good night. [[“Movies” at home]]

…Even better than expected, it turned out. She lolled out her tongue and steadily dragged it from my balls to the tip of the head. When reaching the end she stopped and made-out with the underside, slowly pressing and pulling her lips against the frenulum, then methodically exploring every crease with her tongue. Electricity once again ran through my spine and all of my limbs seized. It was the umpteenth time she had done this little maneuver to break up her strokes, and I was really starting to lose my bearings. I panted hard and twisted the sheets in my grip. I could finally feel the persistent, burning pressure building to climax. As I began to tense up, she immediately stopped and pulled herself away. I gasped and pressed my head into the pillows as my sweet wave of release lost its momentum. My dick pulsed and leaked angrily at the teasing. She snickered and lightly blew on it. The chilling sensation against our combined fluids was simultaneously incredible and agonizing. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Niaa please! You’re killing me here! I pleaded with her. Half out of genuine sexual frustration and half out of a desire to rev her up further. Begging seemed to strike her nerves properly. Although Nia held strong for a minute, she couldn’t help herself from teasing me more. Visible hunger told me her reason was eroding away fast. Nia took the very edge of her finger and traced it up and down the same path her tongue had followed. Her other hand slid from between her thighs and traveled into my legs, caressing my balls with her warm, slick hand. I whimpered and fidgeted in place. She was deliberate in doing just enough to drive me wild, but not so much that it made me cum. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Sorry cutie, you’re not getting off that easy. You’re going to need to pay for what you did today~. Punishment play? I wasn’t sure what angle she was taking with this, but was pleased with the direction we were headed. I leaned into it, putting on a more pathetic tone and playing dumb. She always liked the innocent act. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Pay for what? ~Please Nia, I was good all day~! Shivers surged down her body and her mouth split wide; no doubt she had caught on to what I was doing and craved more of it. Nia crawled up the side of my body and snuggled in close so my shoulder was cozily nestled within her breasts. She stopped the full scope of her finger tracing and kept just one swirling delicately against the top. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You know what you did Em… Hot, heavy whispers came point blank against my right ear. She brushed along the outer edge with her tongue before continuing (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You spent all day fantasizing about who we’re going to pick as a partner. It was on your mind //~aallll day~//. You couldn’t even focus on your classes, even though they’re ~soooooo~ important for you~. Oh boy…Heat flashes ripped through me and I began to feel light headed. This isn’t what I expected. I stammered, trying to keep composed enough to play along. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …I..um…I-I wasn- …! Ahh~! She licked the interior intensely, forcing a moan out of me and interrupting any chance to respond. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Shhhh, cut the shy shit~. Excuses aren’t what I want out of your mouth~. She continued the onslaught with her tongue, her face completely buried by my hair. She had effortlessly taken control of the play. Her voice jittered and took on that predatory attitude I loved so much. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I can’t believe you spent the //whole day// imagining me getting fucked by other people instead of working. I’m your precious girlfriend, you know? Not some kind of ''toy'' for you to ''play'' with~. You’re really //~awful~//, you know that Em~? We were both completely gone by this point. Nia’s whole body was shuddering into me, crotch grinding on my hip. Meanwhile, her finger had migrated back to the underside of the head and was kneading my penis against my stomach. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You imagined me fucking them and then telling you. //Just! Like! This~//! You’re //terrible// Em~! Maybe I shouldn’t let you watch~! I bet you’d like that, you pervert! Our bodies began to tense up in unison. My mind was in an absolute haze. Everything other than her words and her touch melting into an indistinguishable blurred mess. She closed in until it sounded like she was speaking directly in my brain. Her sultry tone deepened and became harsher, her usual honeyed playfulness replaced by a madly horny derisiveness. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~If you keep being such a //bad// boy and treating me like a ''plaything''~... She hesitated, before tightening her grip on my arm and stroking herself frantically against my side. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //~Maybe I won’t even tell you about it~//. I lost it. Back arched, my hips bucked into the air and I came so hard the room span. Nia immediately began pumping my dick with vigor, rotating her wrist to make sure she milked out every last drop possible. I desperately thrust into her hand as I came. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: O-ooohh~ Goood boy~. S-such a good boy. Keep cumming~. Please! ~Please keep cumming for me~. Cum for me~! Nia tried to go on, but it caught in her throat as she struggled to fight the power of her own orgasm. Instead, my lover lowered her volume until she was just barely audible, and devolved into repeating those phrases over and over again. A second orgasm chained fiercely to the first as I was forcefully drained all over my chest and stomach. All the while, wet kisses enthusiastically showered my ear and hairline. [[Aftercare and important conversations]]

We laid side by side for a long time, enjoying the afterglow of the intense session we’d just shared. The bedroom was dark, our only light a dim movie that we’d muted when things started getting hot and heavy. Eventually a chill started to sink into my body. We had thoroughly sweated up a storm during our session. Being thickly glazed in cum wasn’t exactly doing any favors for the situation either. I moved to stand up, but before I could part Nia swiftly shuffled so that she pressed me down with her weight. The cum and sweat from my torso smeared against our skin. She locked her arms under my shoulders and held me in what felt more akin to a wrestling move than a hug. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t leave me. I’m not ready for that yet. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Aw hun, I love you too. I returned the sticky squeeze she had initiated. It wasn’t what I had planned, but she was warm and this was a pleasant change of pace. I was usually the needy one when we were done having sex. It was often that Nia indulged my own softer sides, rarely asking for the return treatment unless she really needed it. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, we can stay like this for as long as you want. I was going to go clean up before I dripped all over, but it’s not a hassle to do a load of laundry. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Later. We can shower together, then I’ll change the sheets while you make our second bowls of popcorn. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Deal. Anything else you want while I’m up? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, now that you mention it…a glass of something light to share? I wanna ride a buzz with you tonight. I peppered her collarbone with a series of small pecks and nod in the affirmative. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not too much though. We’ll have hell to pay in the morning if we’re not careful. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Okay dad, you don’t have to remind me I’m a lightweight. I could hear the joking dismissiveness even without seeing her. The expressiveness of her vocals was just one of Nia’s many charms I couldn’t resist. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Before we do any of that, we need to talk. Nia took on a more serious inflection and grappled me to the side, then shifted down to my level — presumably so that we could easily communicate face to face. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I got…kinda carried away when I was horny-brained and said stuff I didn’t mean. Did anything I said bother you? Embarrassment colored her voice. A giddy smile plastered itself across my reddened face while remembering how she got “carried away” earlier. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Like I said before, for someone who doesn’t get my fetishes you really know how to cater to them. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe…Well, you know, you make it easy with your adorable reactions! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Especially that bit at the end where you implied you wouldn’t tell me about having sex with other people. Oh man, and the way you said it too! I had expected her to be flattered by the way I was laying on the heavy praise — Nia was incredibly fond of being gassed up, after all— instead, however, she seemed rather worried. She said nothing for several seconds before letting out a forced laugh. Evidently feeling off in some way about what I said. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: O-oh…I uh…Well that was the line that I was feeling iffy on…I wasn’t serious about it, obviously...But when I said it I meant that more like me keeping what I did with our partner a secret. You know, like, the specifics, so you could imagine it yourself…Not… She swallowed and averted her gaze. She hadn’t loosened her grip nor turned away, yet she felt very distant at that moment. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Fuck sorry I’m uh…being kinda awkward about this. It’s just the way you took it makes it sound like you want me to um…//c-cheat// on you… Whoops, messed this one up. Nia //hated// the idea of betraying people she loved, and thus she held a great deal of animosity towards cheating. She had even broken off friendships with people in the past over it. When we first started talking about my fetish, this topic had been the biggest roadblock we worked to overcome. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m sorry Nia, I didn’t think about how that was going to make you feel. I got really excited remembering what you said and it made me horny again. I wasn- (text-colour:green)[Nia]: H-hold on! I must have seemed more grim in her view than I actually felt. Nia sounded faintly panicked now. Her face twisted with nerves and her arms stiffened. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m sorry! I wasn’t trying to kink shame you honey! You know I’ll always support you! If that turns you on then please don’t hide it from me! We can figure it out! I love y- (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia, hun, please slow down! Immediately a cocktail of shame and regret filled me. I’d made her feel like the bad guy for being uncomfortable. With the amount of these talks we’ve had by now I’d assumed I was above falling for these pitfalls. I needed to amend the situation and clear the air before we kept going. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m okay Nia. I’m okay. I cupped her cheeks and kissed the bridge of her nose. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m okay. You’re okay. We are okay. She looked me in the eyes and took a deep breath, then repeated my words slowly. This was a small ritual we tried to do whenever our heavier conversations got out of hand. We echoed this practiced phrase back to each other several more times before continuing. Once the two of us settled down, we kissed to aid in breaking the ice. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Now…I’m sorry for interrupting. I love you too. I love you more than I can possibly express, and I know you love me just as much. I’ve never doubted that. Time passed as I watched to see if she had anything she wanted to continue from earlier. Nia simply waited attentively, silently gesturing for me to go on. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yes, the idea of you having sex without telling me got me off. That doesn’t necessarily mean I want to do it, I just know when you said it to me it really hit the right buttons. I honestly don’t know how I would feel about it in real life, even in a context where we agreed to set it up beforehand, but I’m not going to lie and tell you no parts of the fantasy appealed to me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thank you for being supportive and taking my feelings into consideration. There is nothing you need to feel guilty about. Not about our talk now, and not about what you said in the heat of the moment. And you //especially// don’t need to feel guilty about feeling uncomfortable. Please remember that. Boundaries are a two-way street. We shared another kiss, which led to a couple more. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I also like the way you meant it, by the way. That’s really sexy too. A crooked, sheepish grin spread on her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Can I be honest with you Em? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Unflinchingly, Nia. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I did feel bad cause I was worried I made you feel ashamed, but…I also think I freaked out because…When you told me how it sounded? When I saw how excited you were? I-it really turned me on too… A cold thrill climbed my spine at that. The two of us sat there, gently panting in a daze. Was I misreading an electricity in the air? Maybe we could go again…? I needed to pull myself together, it wasn’t time for that. Not yet. Despite that, I wasn’t able to stay completely serious, and found a bout of laughter escaping. Nia blushed at that. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: H-hey…! Don’t make fun of me! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Heheh, I’m sorry love. Sex can be a little scary sometimes, huh? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, yeah it can be. I’m glad I have you here to make it less scary. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Me too hun. But don’t be too lenient with me, cause I’m to blame for making it intimidating hahaha! She giggled along and pinched my ear. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, you jerk. You’re messing my tastes up! It took some effort for us to straighten out enough to continue without being silly. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: In all seriousness Nia, thank you for sharing your feelings with me. I hope you know It’s okay if you like these fetishes too. Regardless of the role we’re playing and what we’re getting out of it. You know I don’t have any ill intentions, and I trust you in the same way. So please, I want you to feel like you’re allowed to have fun and let loose. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: And if you’re ever feeling unsure, you know we can explore that. There’s nothing to feel guilty about. We’re on a team. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Thanks Em…I don’t want to just say ditto when you said all that, but I don’t think I can put it any better than you hehe. I love you! She pulled our lips together once more. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Okay, now what do ya say we take a break from being serious and go take a “team” shower? If we sit in our mess any longer we’re going to fuse. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, let’s. We’re practically already glued as is… [[Partner talk]]

Nia and I laid in bed, two bowls of popcorn and a glass of fruity alcohol lazily drifted between us as we watched a new movie. We were a little more drunk than intended, and it was generous to still call the night young, but we wanted to keep our warm buzz going as long as possible. Our words slurred lightly as we hurled wisecracks towards each other. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Didn’t ya say you hated my sweet popcorn? Why’dya keep stealing handfuls? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Noo, I didn’t say I “hated” it. It’s just…more…dessert-y, ya feel me? Decadent, that’s the word I wanted... Well anyways, now is dessert time so it’s fine. She pouted at my excuse, but neglected further taunting in favor of a coy looking side-eye — finger tracing the rim of our glass all the while. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey…so I don’t mean to bring it up again, but… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hmm? Go ahead. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Were you really thinking about the partner thing all day? I just thought it sounded sexy, but since we never talked about it during the cooldown… Just got me thinkin, ya know? I chuckled and shook my head. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I was very focused today actually. I basically didn’t think about it at all. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No shit? My little professor is so diligent. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You tease, but it’s keeping me out of debt. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Touche, mon cher. Well, we can think about it whenever. No rush. She shrugged and we dropped the topic for the time being. Like she said, we were in no rush. We sat in bed and let time pass, casually consuming the movie and adding a little bit of commentary. As one of the characters remarked on a local sports team, I suddenly remembered my brief encounter with Rina today. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh hey yeah, I forgot to mention. Rina and I share some classes this semester. She told me to tell you hi. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Really? Rina from basketball? That’s a surprise. I thought she was in general studies. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I did too! I wonder if she switched to a specialty? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Better late than never if it makes her happy. After a short silence, Nia’s face came alight with some kind of realization, and a following series of giggles soon erupted from her. She gave me a whimsical, questioning look. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You know… No offense sweetie, but that wasn't the most subtle hint you could've dropped. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What do you mean? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe c'mon dude, going from talking about partners to Rina right after? You don't have to dance around it, even if I'm surprised at your pick. I returned her look with one of more genuine confusion. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well I guess we could, but why? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What do ya mean why? She's really pretty, she's sexually open, we’re all bi, and to top it off we both know her. Seems like a safe bet, right? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hmmm, I guess she does seem like a good option when you put it like that. Plus it’s less likely she’d get weird about it like some guys might. I rolled the idea around in my head. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You're not super into strap-ons and dildos though. I have heard she gets around, so maybe she knows how to use them in ways we don't? I want us both to get as much out of this as possible. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well sure, but why would we need a strap-on? Again, I was confused. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Why wouldn’t we? Her whimsy returned with a vengeance at this. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hun...you know Rina is packing, right? She has both down under. Suddenly I sobered up, and all the thoughts I had earlier today came crashing back to me. That's what had me fixed on her! The thing I couldn’t remember! That's what Jun held back on bringing up! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Really!? I always thought those were just shitty rumors people spread after she got popular! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hahah no Em, it's true. I don't know who she's been with so I don't know any juicy details, I've just heard things from some of the girls on the basketball team. Apparently she's kinda private about it, but they've seen her naked in the locker rooms. Mind reeling, I leaned back and took some time to think about it. Although this was definitely a surprise, I would call it a welcome one. That said, it made me a little conflicted to know that people were spreading rumors about her because of it. I knew firsthand how that felt. Would she think we’re being rude or messing with her if we asked? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Is it a deal-breaker for you? I started a bit from her interjection. My tiredness was steadily causing me to drift as I was thinking. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not at all. I’m just mulling something over… Do you think she’d be insulted if we asked? I’m sure she’s had some people act weird about it with her in the past. Nia stroked her chin and produced a series of goofy pondering noises. She was definitely still tipsy, causing her to find the circumstances very humorous. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Maybe a little? She’s usually cool to talk about it if you ask her normal questions and aren’t being creepy. Since she’s had sex with several people and is single as far as I know, I assume she wouldn’t mind. I shrank a little at the mention of being “creepy”. Hopefully that was a one time thing where my habit of zoning out made me act inappropriate… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well, only one way to find out I guess. The topic tapered off from there, and the two of us watched the rest of the movie before getting ready for bed. As I brushed my teeth, thoughts swirled around the idea of our new potential partner. Things felt far more real now that we had a person in mind. She could always say “no” of course, and we’d be back to square one, but a thought niggled at the back of my mind all the same. Do I really want to go through with this? Was it a good idea to go beyond roleplaying? [[Yes I do]] [[I’m happy with how things are]]

I crawled back into bed after the dishes and stared at my phone. Drafts slowly drifted in and out of form on my screen as I considered what I wanted to text Rina. This definitely seemed like the kind of activity you wanted to ask about in person, especially when you haven’t seen someone in a while. “Hey, do you want to fuck my girlfriend while I watch?” is not the opener most people would go for; those who would go for it, meanwhile, are likely not the kinds of people we’re looking for. Nia came in from changing over the laundry and stretched a bit as I typed. Old habits from swim club died hard. Not like it was a bad thing in this case. I opted to put the phone down then join her in lieu of staring vacantly at the screen. This seemed like something I should run by her before sending to Rina anyways, so might as well have the discussion while doing something as a couple. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I think we should ask Rina if she’s interested. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m down if you are. How should we ask though? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’ve been thinking about that for a while. In my opinion, it would be best to do it in person in a low investment way. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: “Low investment”, like, not super engaging? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sort of. I don’t want to invite her out to dinner or an activity of some kind, then spring it on her. Rina isn’t a pushover by any means, but even if she wasn’t into it she might still feel like she needs to stay until we’re finished. Make sense? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah totally. You don’t want her to feel trapped. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s exactly what I mean. Nia and I slipped into bed as we finished stretching and considered the best course of action. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What about a walk in the park outside of campus? The weather’s been nice lately, and it’s easy for her to duck out if she wants. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s a good idea, but isn’t it rather public to be having a conversation like that? Nia shot me a highly incredulous glare. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh //is// it? Weren’t you the one who fucked //me// in the park’s forest after class last year? I blanked and got severely flustered at the recollection. There really wasn’t anything I could argue with. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Uh, yeah…Point taken, I suppose. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Gonna make me jealous if you’re too considerate hun. Seems backwards considering why we’re asking her out. I couldn’t help but smile at that. The jealousy wasn’t the primary turn on in my case, but it was absolutely a bonus. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright alright, don’t roast me too hard before bed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sorry, acting kinda silly since I’m tired. Nia rubbed her eyes as she spoke. As if summoned by relevance, a yawn forced its way out of me. I shimmied closer to Nia and started getting comfortable. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: And also mayyybe feeling sorta hyped. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well…honestly I’ve been feeling pretty damn nervous about this for the last month. Now that we have an actual goal I feel like things are falling into place. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s wonderful. I’m feeling pretty good about it too, I think. Even if she says no, I’ll be happy that we put ourselves out there. Nia yawned as well and snuggled me into spooning her side, arm underneath my head and leg between mine. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hold on, I’ve got to finish the text before we sleep. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re going to text her at this hour? Are you a psychopath? I looked up at her smugly. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You can schedule automated texts these days. I’ll have it sent to her around six-ish. Nia raised her eyebrows and marveled blearily at the phone, the lack of sleep making her seem even more impressed with this newfound knowledge. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Damn Em, the future really is now hehe. [[Hell to pay]]

I laid on the floor after doing the dishes, staring at the ceiling absentmindedly. Sounds of Nia doing laundry in the distance and the fan in the window were the only noises that accompanied me. The prospect of actually involving someone else in our sex life seemed less appealing the more I thought about it. I wasn’t exactly sure what to do with this feeling. I decided to wait for Nia and speak about it with her. Once Nia came in, I watched her perform our nightly stretches and then we settled into bed together. We snuggled quietly in the dark. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Can I pick your brain? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: By all means hun. What’s up? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You don’t seem very excited about sharing anymore. I thought you’d be halfway through the plans by the time I was done. You didn’t even join me for stretches. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ...Hmmm…Heh, you know me too well sweetie. Squeezing her tightly was as much as I could muster beyond that for the time being. She moved in closer and rested herself against my chest. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Your heart’s beating really fast. Are you nervous? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ...A tiny bit, probably. Nia’s head cocked up at me. The understanding on her face was unmistakable. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey…You’re okay. You’re not letting me down. I always want what makes you happy. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I know…just feels like I’m letting us both down… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m not disappointed, no matter what we decide to do. Talk to me. We can figure out what’s up. Rarely did Nia’s skills at bringing me back to earth fail to impress. Already I was feeling more at ease with the situation than before. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I don’t think I want to actually bring another person in for the time being. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Perfectly fine with that, my love. Any specific reasons why? A litany of ideas scrolled through my brain. Most of them, though, felt surface level. Was it really just a bunch of little things I hadn’t considered? Or was there something bigger here? Maybe the fact that I had so many was the issue? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for it. I settled on that as the culmination behind all the niggling doubts and feelings. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Why’s that? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: When we decided on asking Rina, it really hit me that we were involving another person in being intimate with us. I had prepared myself for the idea of us not treating sex as a special thing between the two of us, and even got excited about the idea, but I don’t think I ever really took the time to think about the perspective of the person we’re inviting. Conclusions coming to be in real time, I felt myself beginning to untie the unease that laid in my stomach. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Basically, I was viewing them as a sex object. When I thought about Rina that way and then tried to digest things from her perspective, with a partner like me, I started to doubt everything else I was sure about. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Will I treat you fairly if I don’t trust that I can treat our partner fairly? Will I enjoy it as much as I thought I would? Slowly something else dawned on me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Am I just picking Rina because she’s a girl and I don’t feel threatened by her like I would a normal guy? Nia scowled as she picked up the double meaning in my word choice. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em…You //are// a ''normal'' guy. Years of insecurity about my strongly effeminate features begged to differ. Nia cuddled into me, like she was going to physically stem the tide of negativity flowing out. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I know…but it doesn’t feel like it. I don’t look like a guy. I don’t sound like a guy. I don’t act very much like a guy. I don’t even have the kinds of fetishes a normal guy has… Nia stroked me with her hands firmly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s okay, Em. It’s okay. You’re okay. There’s nothing wrong with doubting yourself sometimes. You helped me with that yesterday, remember? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, but if one doubt really makes me question so much I don’t think I’m ready for the potential stress this could bring. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s because you’re smart, hun. You overthink things so, so much…Let me set the record straight, kay? Nia pulled herself up and peered straight into my soul with those bright green eyes of hers. She adopted a far more resolute tone than usual. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You are an amazing man. In less than a year, you’ll have finished your bachelor's with top marks in every subject, in one of the most expensive schools in the world. You did that without getting a loan, without your family, and without paying for it. Her voice wobbled a bit as she went on, and little wet patches formed on my top. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You supported me when most of my family and friends abandoned me. You helped me be okay with who I am, and not who I was pretending to be. You showed me you were strong enough to accept who you were, and that I could too. Emery is a person, a man, who worked through a lot of crap that people have shoveled onto him over his life. He’s someone more “manly” than anyone else I know. I felt myself getting misty eyed as she finished. I realized it was silly getting so worked up about this. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Eheh. When you put it like that, I feel sort of childish, getting so angsty about not wanting someone else to have sex with you… In response, Nia snorted so hard she got mucus on my already damp pajamas. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ahahah, sorry. Shit…I completely forgot that’s what started this. That convo really sobered me up. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehe yeah, my bad. Nia grabbed some tissues and wiped us off. While she did, I pet her head and looked out the window into the night. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thanks Nia. You always know how to cheer me up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Happy to Em. I’m glad you’re feeling better. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, me too…We can still do the roleplaying though, right? She shot me a jokingly fed-up look and rolled her eyes, then gave me a flirtatious wink. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: After how hard you came tonight? If anything, I’m going to be working on the scenarios even more than before. Just don’t get mad if I go crazy and tease you too much, kay~? For the rest of the night I laid restless, wondering what kinds of extreme, elaborate situations Nia would concoct to get me off. (align:"<==>")+(box:"===XXXXX==")+(text-style:"bold","underline")[''Normal End'']

There's that hell I was worried about paying… I stood waiting outside for the last five minutes of Nia’s class in a thick torpor. Our late night was really starting to take its toll on me. At the onset I had sat on the nearby bench while killing time, but soon found that any position other than upright was going to end with me unconscious. The many sets of crying emojis Nia had inundated my inbox with told me she wasn’t faring much better. We had no one to blame but ourselves, ultimately. On the bright side, Rina had responded and was available to meet with us today. Her classes ended only thirty minutes later than Nia’s, which gave us the perfect window to grab a few coffees and inhale them. I sent Rina a text asking if she wanted anything for when she got off, then promptly pocketed my phone as people began pouring out of the classroom doors. Inside the flood of people I found Nia adrift, ping ponging from one person to the next as she struggled to keep herself awake. I fished her out of the crowd and headed for the nearest exit. The coffee shop was thankfully quite close, and within minutes we were waiting in line to take our order. The influx of overworked college students left the cafe workers busy, but since we hadn’t heard from Rina yet it posed no issue. Or so I thought. The line had moved with haste, in spite of the many overly specific and high volume orders, while by contrast my phone had remained inert. Though we scoured our collective memories for what Rina’s preferences might be, we eventually had to settle on getting her a simple generic latte. Nia and I waited outside while the last minutes ticked away. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I hope she doesn’t mind what we got her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah she’ll be fine with it. Rina is pretty lax about these things, right? She’ll probably just be happy you got her something even though she didn’t respond. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Could be. We’ll see when she gets here. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ah relax hun, everything is gonna be okay. Fingers dug into my neck and worked the tissue. She was right, I let myself get jittery thinking about how things were going to go today. The lack of sleep and middling hangover surely weren’t helping. I should just enjoy the time we have together and let things happen as they happen. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That looks nice, can I get a turn next? As if on cue, Rina appeared next to us. She was panting and wearing her team gear, with a workout bag slung over her shoulder; it seemed like she had come here to meet us as soon as she possibly could. I jumped a bit upon her arrival, but Nia remained unfazed and quickly countered — I hated how easily startled I was… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Happy to oblige ma’am, but you’re going to have to do me first. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Gladly! The two of them continued to banter, while I struggled to keep a straight face. I was almost positive that Nia had used that phrasing intentionally to tease me while taking advantage of Rina’s ignorance. My cheeky girlfriend patted me on the back and stood up, and I hastily followed suit. [[Getting down to business]]

The three of us strolled casually down the park path. A large forested section followed along the right side of the pavement, while a massive open field stretched from the left side until it met the beached edge of a small lake. It was a serene place, ideal for both low and high stress days. Today had been the latter so far, no question, but with any luck we were about to turn that around. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So how’s the semester been for you guys? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It’s been a productive two days so far. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Can’t complain either. I’m super sleepy today, but that’s my own fault. Nia yawned, as if to emphasize the point, then elbowed my chest jokingly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well //some// of it was my fault hehe. The way she said it carried heavily lewd implications. Rina adopted a cat-like expression. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hoho, you causing some //trouble// for Nia, Emery? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: W- You guys! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oh he’s been insatiable lately! I can’t catch a break! Nia’s exceedingly perverse delivery caused Rina’s smile to grow an awkward bend to it. Her ribbing might’ve bitten off a little more than she was prepared to chew. As quickly as it came, however, her more confident expression returned. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Woah, down girl. Save it for the bedroom ahaha… Good for you guys though! Glad to hear things are still going well. I was surprised by the fact that she seemed so quick to change the subject. From the look on her face, Nia seemed thrown off as well. Normally Rina was fine with talking about sexual topics. Maybe Nia laid it on a little thick there? Then again, given my shy reaction just now, it would also be reasonable for Rina to assume I didn’t want to talk about it. I felt immature, especially with what we wanted to ask her to do…I pushed away the thoughts for now and went on with the topic. No sense forcing things. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: What are you on now, around six years? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s right! We’re going on seven near the end of the semester. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Damn, that’s really something. I don’t even know anyone from my high school anymore. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ain’t exactly surprising though. You guys are such an obvious fit. Anyone with eyes could tell. Nia squeezed my hand and I squeezed back, beaming with pride in our romance. Rina sighed and sagged her shoulders. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Wish I had some of your luck. I can’t seem to keep a partner for very long. Curiosity gripped me and I felt compelled to ask why she thought that was, but before I could Nia interjected. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ah forget ‘em, they don’t know what they’re missing! You’re a real catch, Rina! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Daw thanks Nia, I appreciate it. Only means so much coming from someone who’s already in a relationship though haha. I need someone single to feel that way! Nia's eyes lit up and it seemed she was about to give the perfect response, yet nothing came. She decided to hold her tongue, appearing to deflate as the timing passed by. It was clear Nia was trying to find a good segue back into the sexual topics, but she seemed skeptical to seal the deal herself. If I had to guess why, I’d say she was probably lining everything up so I could be the one to pop the question. Made sense considering Nia’s hang-ups on faithfulness; not to mention I had spent more time with Rina overall than she had. I needed to help things along if an opportunity presented itself. Things would get awkward if we circled the drain too much. As a lull in our chat formed, I took my chance. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: By the way, we didn’t get to ask how your semester has gone so far. You’ve seemed pretty busy. Rina’s body drooped and a wheezing sigh emerged with fury. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Dude it’s been garbage this year! Shit just keeps not working out… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Damn, that’s a bummer. I’m sorry. What’s been eating you? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well… For a moment Rina’s expression was off, her trademark aura of confidence seemingly falling away, but it smoothed over in the blink of an eye — whatever she had been thinking about seemingly discarded. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: A few things, but the major one is I got kicked out of the dorms and had to move. That seriously screwed up my whole schedule. That’s why I was late to class yesterday. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Did you get kicked out by the policy changes? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah… Ouch, I hadn’t realized Rina was one of those affected when I talked with Jun about it. Even if it wasn’t directed towards her, I felt a bit bad about my callousness in retrospect. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m sorry Rina. If there’s anything we can do to help please let us know. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I appreciate it, but you know how I feel about owing people favors. That was true. In the almost three years I’d known Rina, she had never been one to owe people anything if she could avoid it. Even though she was social, she did things on her own for the most part. Any time someone helped her, she would almost immediately pay them back in some fashion. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t be like that Rina. C’mon, we’re all pretty tight aren’t we? And you know how Emery’s always going around helping out with school stuff. He’s never pitted that against you. Nia fired a serious death glare my way and her words cut like steel. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You ''haven’t'', right? The sheer contrast sent Rina into hysterics. I couldn’t blame her, I would’ve found it funny too if I hadn’t known Nia was dead serious under the joking facade. Rina responded once she came down from her fit. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hah, you guys are a riot…Nah you’re not wrong. I know you’re people I can trust. I just avoid it when I can. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Doesn’t need to be anything too major. Unpacking, for example? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Very true. I still haven’t finished that… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: If that’s still too much, then we could just help you unwind a bit. Where did you move to anyways? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: The big apartment complex on the corner of Ash and Berrywood. The place near the old mall. Nia and I looked at each other in shock (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Wait really? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re only like two blocks from Em’s place! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Furreal? Do you want to take this little gathering back to my place then? The walk’s nice, don't get me wrong, but I’m tired and sweaty from the day. A vibrating anticipation passed between Nia and I. Our eyes met in unspoken agreement. This seemed perfect. We hadn’t been comfortable inviting ourselves over when making our plans. If Rina was on her home turf she would be more at ease, it wouldn't be public, and if she wasn’t into it we could leave without issue. There was also the fact that having a private space allowed for potential if she agreed to join our sessions…more enthusiastically. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We would love to! Lead the way! [[Home visit]]

We sat on the couch in Rina’s living room while she showered. To say Nia and I were on edge would have been putting it mildly. As we waited, I took in our surroundings to try and distract myself from the impending proposal. The apartment was quite a sight for an older building: decently larger than my own and fitted with a balcony, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living room was lined with boxes; some were open, but most remained entirely untouched. Between the amount of boxes and the size, it was hard to believe she lived here by herself. Although…to her credit, it //had// sounded like she moved out in a hurry — maybe this was the only place they’d had available on short notice. My reverie was dispelled as Nia nervously bunched my pant leg with her hand. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So…What’s the game plan? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Winging it, mostly. Spend some time together, find a good time to bring it up, and…see where things go from there. A slow, wavering breath forced itself from both of us. We should have coordinated this more. Oh well, no turning back now. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: My bad, might’ve been kinda generous with my lounging in there hahah. Sorry to keep ya’ll waiting. I couldn’t help but feel my gaze wander as Rina returned from the master bedroom. Now that her hair was down I could tell it had definitely grown from last semester; significantly, in fact, as the wavy brown locks that once mirrored my own hair length now fell to the middle of her back. She was wearing a tank top and baggy sweatpants. The former was very flattering to her busty figure. The latter was not as kind to her lower half’s curves, but given my new awareness of Rina’s…body…I wondered if that wasn’t entirely the point. I shook myself and refocused. There would be time for that later, assuming things went well. Rina passed us each a hard lemonade and sat down on the couch beside Nia. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Did I remember right? Last time we were out you guys said you prefer the fruity stuff. Nia hurriedly twisted the top and took a few swigs. Pressure was getting to her, no doubt. I sipped mine more slowly and savored the flavor. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That was a while ago. You’ve got an impressive memory. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eh, stuff like that just sticks with me. Couldn’t tell ya why. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well thanks Rina, we appreciate the hospitality. It’s really nice to be able to see you again so soon. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Honestly dude? Summer wasn’t great for me this year, and it’s lonely being in a bigger place by myself. So I should be thanking you guys for coming over and hanging out with me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aww Rina! Nia made a sorrowful noise and threw herself onto Rina in a hug. Rina smiled and happily returned the affection in kind. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m sorry we didn’t hang out the last few months. We got so busy with life. We didn’t even hang out with Lucy or anyone else. The break was totally gone before we knew it! She seemed to be feeling the alcohol a bit already. Meanwhile, seeing Nia and Rina hanging all over each other like that was starting to stir //something// in me as well… I took a deep breath and steeled myself. We needed to stop pussyfooting around. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Are you very busy this semester? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Not terrible in terms of workload. Only part that’s stressful is I switched majors, so I’m trying to get used to things. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Would you be interested in doing a…project of sorts with Nia and I over the semester? Nia could tell where this was going and pulled up from their hug with awkward briskness. Rina’s brows knitted together in a confusion at the change of atmosphere. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I mean, yeah probably? If I can be helpful. Depends on the project. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: See…well…We’ve all known each other for a while, yeah? We’re all friends here. I felt like my heart was beating a mile a minute. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia and I think you’re a really cool person. We like you, we trust you, and we really need someone like that for this project…We both think you’re the perfect person to ask. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …And you said you’re not…exclusive with anyone right now, right? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uhhh…No, y-yeah, I’m not…W-why? By this point Rina definitely knew something. She was sweating again and her whole body was as stiff as a board. Nia desperately clung tighter onto me to calm down. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We wanna try something…different as a couple. I-if you’re cool with it, do you want to…m-maybe…have sex with Nia while I watch? My words weighed heavy in the now silent room. Great job Em, you asked in literally the exact way you didn’t want to… To say Rina looked like a deer in the headlights wouldn’t be inaccurate. Her tan skin was colored with a strong blush, her mouth hung slightly ajar, and her sweatpants held hostage in her death grip. I’d never seen her look less confident in my life. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uh…uhmm I…G-give me a sec. Rina jettisoned from her spot on the couch and into the bathroom. The moment she left, we collapsed into an exasperated pile. [[Questions and answers]]

(text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So… The three of us sat around the living room coffee table. Nia and I joined at the hip on the near side of the couch, and Rina across from us in a lounge chair. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You two want me to f-...have sex with Nia while Emery watches us? We nodded in response, both of us burning a blindingly bright red. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Are you sure you want to do something like this? Emery? Nia? I always thought you guys were the wholesome, vanilla couple of the campus. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe… Being real with you Rina, we’ve been roleplaying this stuff a few times a month for a year now. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We’ve considered this for quite a while. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Woah, you guys are kinkier than I expected…W-why pick me though? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I was serious about what I said earlier, Rina. We think you’re a really cool, trustworthy girl. A small grin crawled up her face, then something seemed to dawn on her and she looked at us with a minor alarm. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But…uh…do you both know about my…situation? Again we nodded our heads. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not the specifics, but we both know you have a penis. She stiffened at the word and swallowed heavily; a grim expression cast on her face as she turned away from us. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Did you pick me…because of that? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not entirely, but it was something we considered as a plus. Nia and Rina both looked at me in surprise. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I told you people have been creepy with her about it before. She’s asking if we’re picking her //because// she has a d-...penis. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I understand, but I didn’t want to say something that would make her think we were lying to her. I turned towards our prospective partner. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry, we shouldn’t be talking about you like you’re not here. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What I meant was your situation is something we thought about seriously, it just wasn’t the reason we asked. We wanted to ask you because of who you are as a person and your different facets. The you that we know is attractive to us in every way, not just the physical or sexual sides. This time it was Rina who turned bright red. She looked down and held her hands clasped in her lap. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s okay if you want to say no, Rina. We’re not gonna stop being your friends over it or anything. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: And it’s okay if you’re just not sure. Take as much time as you need to think it through. Rina slumped back into the chair — eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, fingers tapping nervously across her thighs. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: If this was before summer started, I would have said yes in a heartbeat… A dour expression painted her. She looked like she was holding a lot back. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I had a…//complicated// relationship thing happen with a hook-up like three months ago, and it’s got me feeling conflicted about this… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m sorry. Like we said Rina, it’s all good if y- Rina interjected and held up her hand. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Real talk, I want to say yes. I do. You’re both really hot, and more importantly you’re fun to be around. I'd have to be crazy to turn down a chance like this, ‘specially with my bad luck lately. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But…this kind of thing can ruin people’s relationships. I //really, really// don’t want to do that to you two. Are you two //sure//? Nia and I couldn’t help but smile between ourselves at her earnestness. She was worrying in the same way we were before. Rina was definitely the right choice for this. Nia flashed her a cocky grin. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, you think you got what it takes to get in the way of our love? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No offense Rina, but it’ll take a lot more than some swinging to break us up. She seemed to loosen up at our playful retorts, and ribbed us back in turn. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheh, you saying I’m not good enough? I’m //a lot// of woman; more than a couple of shorties like you can handle~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Big talk for a girl who was so nervous she ran to the bathroom~. You might be the big bad basketball star, but you’re a softie on the inside~. Nia adopted her frisky tone and leaned forward to show off some cleavage through her blouse. Everyone had visibly relaxed now that it was clear we were mutually on edge. With that established, things seemed like they were finally able to heat up. [[A sample of what’s to come]]

Rina wanted us to have some time to think about things before we got too serious, but we also didn’t want to chicken out and end up procrastinating. The solution we came to was simple: I watch Nia masturbate Rina until we were satisfied. If there were no hard feelings afterwards, then we could get together for a “date” next weekend and go as far as we wanted. If someone didn’t like it, then we could end it ASAP with minimal damage done. But hardly any of that was on my mind at the moment. Seeing Nia kneel in-between Rina’s legs had blanked my mind entirely. The latter sitting on the edge of her chair and the former seated on a cushion on the floor, while I stayed seated on the couch. They hadn’t done anything yet, but it hardly mattered; the image of Rina’s large body over Nia alone had me vibrating more than anything we had done in the last year. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You comfy over there hun? You’re sweating so hard you look like you’re gonna die of heatstroke, hehehe. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …I’m perfect, my love. Don’t worry about me too much. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Good! Gotta make sure my audience is enjoying the show~! Excitement was palpable as she rushed out of everything but her underwear. Rina took that as a cue to join in and took off her tank top, but Nia slapped her hands away once she reached for her pants. Nia turned towards Rina and sensually ran her hands up her partner’s thighs, only stopping once her breasts pressed against the knees and her fingers slipped into the elastic of Rina’s sweatpants. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: And how about my co-star~? I look forward to //working// with you today~. Rina looked down at Nia in a daze, her breasts heaving and voice laden with lust. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Feeling’s mutual hot stuff~. Sorry I can’t give you more attention today~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t feel bad, Nia can’t get enough servicing her lovers~! Oh fuck, I just called her my girlfriend's “lover”. My brain was on fire. Nia giggled and slowly drew Rina’s pants down. She made sure the process was agonizingly slow, and kept her fiery gaze glued to me the entire time. Perhaps because of that, Nia was caught completely unaware when Rina’s dick sprang free from its prison and tapped her on the chin. She looked down in confusion, her eyes growing wide once they spotted the culprit. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Holy…! We were both at a complete loss for words as Rina’s dick pressed against Nia and still continued to grow, sliding against her jaw, passing her cheek, until finally closing in over its owner's top abs. Silence briefly descended upon the room at the sight of her equipment. Even sitting upright, the tip reached to the curve of her breasts. It had to have been at least twice my size in length ''and'' girth — which boggled my mind as a man who, if masculine in few other circumstances, had always felt secure in his slightly above average dick. I had always considered a partner with a few extra inches as a plus for us, but my //entire// size twice over!? Would that be a problem? I wasn’t sure…I was dizzy, and Nia felt the same if her slack-jawed bemusement was any indication. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Hahaha oh my god, Rina! Where did you fit this thing!? Her flirtation subsided momentarily, overwritten by genuine mirth and intrigue. Rina shrugged coyly and pursed her lips. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: A girl has her ways. She leaned down and gripped Nia’s chin in her hand, her words adopting a husky flavor to rival Nia’s own. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: What? Don’t tell me you’re calling quits already? I told you I was //a lot// of woman~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No way~. You can’t show me something like this and expect me to leave it alone~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Then don’t just sit there gawking at it~. I couldn’t breathe as I watched sparks fly between them. The way they matched each other’s aggression was doing things to me I couldn’t have imagined before. The two stared at each other and huffed, their noses only a few inches apart. The spell was broken as Nia struck the first blow, wrapping her hands around the thick shaft in front of her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, I can’t believe I can put both my hands on it and still have so much left over! Em look, this is crazy! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Extra room makes it easier for you to really put on a show~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hardly hehe! My hands barely fit around this monster! Nia began pumping in tandem, every muscle in her arms flexing to travel the entirety of Rina’s cock. Her grip indented the powerful shaft as she worked; every stroke meticulous in its journey from the base to the swollen tip. It pulsed aggressively, beads of pre-cum flowing down in approval. Rina’s head fell backwards against the rest of the chair. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ohh wow! Y-you really know what you’re doing, Nia~! Rina seemed eager for some input on her part, hands clawing at the arms of the chair. I had no doubt that they would be in active use on Nia in any other situation…were I not here…//moderating// the sexual terms. She moaned, spine curving off the chair as her partner milked her thoroughly. Eventually, she found some purchase for her satisfaction; scooting down and wrapping her legs around Nia’s torso. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: F-for easier access~. A wry look spread on Nia’s face, and she slinked in closer. She picked up the pace once settled, stroking harder along the massive length. The two of them began panting roughly as the handjob escalated. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Aahh your breath! //Oh fuck that’s hot!// K-keep going~!. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, you’re pretty cute when you’re being needy~. Her head cocked in my direction. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em, are you seeing this~? Nia’s hungry expression gestured toward the interior of the toned legs, where I could see Rina’s huge balls — //of course// they were also massive, everything on this woman was absurd — filling the in-between space. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well~? She gave me “easier access”. Should I give the poor girl some attention down here too~? Both their eyes locked on, waiting for my answer — Nia’s shining with excitement, Rina’s foggy with desire. I nodded in wordless approval, the concept of speaking completely lost to me now. One of Nia’s hands released the titanic dick and migrated south to Rina’s balls. A shudder ran up her body as Nia groped one in her palm, an absurd amount of pre-cum following her touch. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~More! Please more~! An impish expression lit up Nia’s features as she watched Rina's plight. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey Em, watch this~. The bicep of her still arm flexed and her fingers sank a little deeper beneath Rina’s sack. Immediately a litany of moans came from above. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ooohh fuck! Fuck! ''Fuck me'' Nia, that isn’t fair~! Hnnngg!!! Without further warning, her whole body clenched and cum erupted from her tip. Enormous ropes pulsed dramatically from her cock, flying into the air and splashing against the semi-naked pair. Nia yelped in surprise and stopped stroking, but could not move — locked in place by Rina’s legs as she watched her partner unload onto them over and over again. Nia and I looked at each other in shock for a moment. The enormity of her single load was truly ridiculous — at least three times what I usually put out. Rina, meanwhile, sat inert and panting, before eventually calming down and craning her head back up to face us. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So…round two? [[Round two]]

(text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sorry if I was zoning too much in that first round. It’s been a minute and I //really// needed that. The three of us sat together on the couch now; Nia and I on either side of Rina, her arms draped over our shoulders and holding us close to her torso. Nia languidly stroked Rina’s semi-hard dick as we spoke. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I feel like I wasn’t doing enough. Is there any way I can make the roleplay better for you guys? I don’t have a lot of experience with this type of fetish. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Honestly…? You hanging over us like this while Nia casually jerks you off has me going crazy. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hehe, so you’re saying I’m a natural then? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, he’s just a huge pervert. My little cutie //loves// stuff like this, hehe. That’s why he hasn’t jerked off yet. He’s probably holding out til we get home so he can really give it to me~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, but you haven’t done anything yet either. Doesn’t that make you just as bad? Carnivorous lust filled Nia’s eyes and she bore holes into me as she started stroking Rina harder. Her toy finally reached its full length again with the increased pace. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m saving up with him~. If he isn’t getting off yet, then neither am I~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ah! Whew~! You two were made for each other, hehehe~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Damn right we are! Nia used her free hand to shakily guide me into a kiss. The two of us locked lips as we met in front of Rina; her impressive bust and dick both within our peripheral view, jerking in time with Nia’s movements. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So…then…If you guys don’t have any requests, can I make a couple? We looked at each other inquisitively as we moved away, then rocked in a nonchalant nod. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, ask away. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Is it cool if I — ~oof, easy girl~ — call you “Em” too? I’m big on nicknames for friends, and it’s cute when she calls you that. Rina rubbed Nia on the head as she referred to her. Nia and I both chuckled at this. We were expecting something a little more sexual, but instead this was adorable. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Go for it! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I don’t mind either (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Awesome! A more platonic, softer looking expression came across Rina for a minute. It was, however, promptly consumed by lust once more as another moan slipped from her lips. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ooh-Oh..okay s-so…Em…next question for ya… She grunted as she struggled to retain focus. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Oof. Is it okay if I’m a little more…involved this time? Nia shot a wondering glance my way, unsure if that would be alright or not. My throat dried up and anticipation plastered my face. My dick screamed at me to continue. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Please…! Rina smirked, then suddenly stood up and grabbed both of us until we were scooted close together. Without warning, she then seized Nia by the hair roots and moved herself in close, until the base of her cum smeared cock draped heavily over our lover’s face. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Payback for playing dirty earlier~. Keep your mouth shut and we’re not breaking any rules. ~This is just a lil //extra//…some girl on girl skin contact, kay~? Nia shook like a leaf buried under her partner’s presence, arms still awkwardly frozen in mid-air from when Rina’s dick had been wrested away. Rina snatched both wrists into her grasp and wrapped the hands back around the top of her shaft above Nia’s head — her larger hands flexed, holding Nia’s hostage underneath. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ready? Neither of us could answer; My brain was incapable of processing anything other than the sheer degree of sexuality on display, and Nia was physically incapable of responding beyond a muffled noise. Rina did not wait for further permission. Her iron grip held Nia in place as she began thrusting back and forth viciously, using my girlfriend’s hands like a makeshift masturbation toy. Sharp gasps escaped Nia each time Rina pulled back, briefly given a reliable reprieve from the giant cock and balls smothering her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Oh man, fuck yeah. That’s the stuff~ Give me a yell if you can’t handle this, okay champ~? The tall, tan girl turned her attention to me and gave a huge wolfish grin. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Oooh. ~Oh Em, hehehe. If you could see your face right nooww~. It’s //totally// priceless~. I didn’t think I’d //get// it, ya know? But now? Now can see why Nia loves putting on a show for you~. Nia quickly came out from under Rina’s dick and looked at me. A dopey, infectious grin plastered her face alongside at least half an inch of sex fluids. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Hehehe, you’re so precious Em~! ~My little cutie! ~I love you so much! She sounded giddier than usual, as if the lack of air and smell of cum had sunk into her brain. Her sexual dominance was still present, but now infused with a less familiar girlish ditziness. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: He really is~. You’re lucky to have an audience that pays //so much// attention to you heheh~. Rina kept Nia’s hands sealed on her dick, but knelt down so their faces were parallel. She leaned in closer and pressed their bodies together, her breasts atop Nia’s and her pulsing cockhead pressed against Nia’s bra strap. Actually, Nia’s lacy underwear was nearly transparent with juices by this point. Her bra speckled with a collection of spots where cum had seeped in during. Her panties, meanwhile, were completely soaked with her own fluids — a small, damp spot forming under her legs. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Just look at how he’s staring at us~! At //you//~. You and your slutty stained underwear! I don’t think he’s blinked this //whooole// time~. Nia's breathing became uneven and she returned to jerking off Rina, her hands focusing the most sensitive parts on the crown. Rina joined in her strained exhalations. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You wanna see him make that face more, don’cha? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Yeah! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You’d do //anything// to make him cum, huh? Nia’s breath became even more labored and a jitter traced through her body. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Y-yes! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //~Anything!?// (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Yes! God yes! I would do //anything// for him if he asked! She whipped her head towards me in a manic snap. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~You want to see that, don’t you!? You want to see her coated in my cum~?! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Yes! I really, really do~! She turned back and whispered in Nia’s ear, loud enough so I could still hear it over their panting. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~You heard him~! Imagine the shit he wants to see you do~. He’s dying to see me mess you up~! I mean, just look at that massive wet spot on his pants hehehe~. I jolted and looked down. She wasn’t lying. I couldn’t believe I didn’t notice. I hadn’t cum, but my crotch was completely soaked through with pre. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: A-aahhh~! Nia’s eyes glazed over and she desperately sucked her breath in through her clenched teeth. Her efforts redoubled and she began jerking off Rina in a wicked fury. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ooohh Em~! Em! //Fuck//, Em~! Y-you are in //s-sooo// much trouble when we get home~! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ah! ~Ooh hell yes, hahaha, get that shit Nia! Show him how sexy you can be! Rina got up, leaned against the couch between my legs, and rapidly thrust into Nia’s already moving hands. Rina’s new angle allowed me to see every detail between the two of them up close. The way they met in the middle with every flailing move, producing a loud, meaty slap each time. Rina’s leaking slit pointed straight at Nia’s face. The sweat and cum affixing Nia’s matted hair wildly along her neck. The intense expression my love wore on her face as she focused. The insane glint they both had in their eyes. The love of my life and one of my best friends putting on such an illicit show, and it was all for me? I couldn’t get enough of it! I needed more. I had never been so enraptured by anything in my life. Nia met my smoldering gaze and gave me a knowing look. Her mouth split wide in a leer, then opened wider as she stuck her tongue out. Oh god, oh how I loved this girl. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~''Fuck'', Nia~! I’m cumming again~! A wave of violent shivers ripped along Rina’s entire body as she let loose a flood of cum directly onto Nia’s mouth, face and chest. It pulsed in many prolonged, absurd bursts as they worked together to milk it, keeping Rina promise to completely coat Nia with her cum. The force of the bursts was so great that several droplets bounced off Nia and onto my arm. They practically burned at the touch. How was it so hot? How was Nia taking //all of it// like that? The two moaned and gasped feverishly as Rina finished cumming, all the while I stayed as still as I possibly could, afraid that even the slightest friction would cause the dam in my pants to explode. [[Chaser]]

After what felt like several minutes, things began to calm down. Nia’s hands left Rina’s now semi-flacid penis and fell to her side, and Rina collapsed on the open portion of the couch. We all just laid there in a daze as the primal buzz of the moment slowly filtered out of us. Nia was the first to say anything. To my surprise, however, it came with her flirtatious tone. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em, come here for a sec~. I leaned over and looked at my girlfriend. She was absolutely caked in seed, doused to the point where her face was masked. She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, showing me that it was completely clean. I immediately realized what she meant by it, and all of the pent up sexual energy came barreling back to me. I almost came on the spot. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, I’m, like, a bit of a ''mess'' right now~. Mind helping me clean things up? She kept her mouth open and waited. I stared vacantly at first, my hands not listening to my brain. I then cupped my hand and slowly shoveled the cum on her face into the eager hole. She held it all in even after I finished the last scoops. She closed her mouth and opened her eyes, but didn’t swallow. She looked at me expectantly. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: C’mon big guy, haha, don’t keep your girl waiting~. Rina rose like a vampire from her coffin and draped herself over Nia, arm over one shoulder and chin resting on the other. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Give~. Her~. Permission~. Nia’s eyes pleaded with me. My mind was completely gone. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Please swallow her cum, Nia. Do it for me~. And with that, it was gone. She held her mouth open triumphantly to show not even a drop was left. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe go easy on me next time Em, it was hard holding it all in my mouth like that! I smiled, but didn’t respond. Instead, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her in for a passionate french kiss. She reciprocated immediately and we fell into each other’s arms. [[Closing thoughts]]

It took some time before we could bring ourselves to separate. Even then the two of us couldn’t quite pull our acts together, teasing and groping each other while we got dressed and wiped off. Eventually, however, we managed, and found ourselves talking with Rina in her bedroom. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Are you sure you want to end it here, Rina? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yes! For the last time, you two, I am sure this is a good cut-off. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: We know, we know. It was just a lot of fun! Rina shook her head in a telegraphed mock annoyance. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You’re just dragging this out for yourselves, hehe. Weren’t ya gonna rush home so you could fuck each other’s brains out? She had a point, but it was hard to shake the elation that came with such a good first time. We could hardly be blamed for trying to eke out a smidge more fun; as long as we weren’t being an inconvenience, of course. Playfulness aside though, there was also something else we knew needed to be done before we left, regardless of how horny we were. Clearing my throat, I attempted to straighten out my posture and shake off the silliness. Nia joined me and practiced some calming inhalations. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We need to talk with you about something first. We sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the sheets, gesturing for Rina to join us. Rina suddenly looked very worried. She rubbed the back of her head and looked towards the floor. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Shit. Uh-oh, did I go too far with the whole “girl to girl” thing? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Pfft hehe, relax dude! It’s not like that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry to scare you. I meant we wanted to have our cooldown session with you. Not only was that intense, but it was also our first time as a group. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Plus you said you had some shitty stuff happen before the summer started. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Exactly. We didn’t want to run out the door and leave you in a weird spot. If you don’t want to join, then no pressure obviously. But if not…? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah I dunno, just seemed right to include you if you wanted. An inscrutable expression developed on Rina. She stood there quietly, rubbing her arm and swapping her weight between legs. At first it seemed as though we’d been a bother, but within another moment she seemed to relax. A certain softness came into her countenance, and her voice was faint when she spoke. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You guys are too sweet. She came and joined us on the bed, landing in a way that was strangely lacking in impact for her size. Almost like she was trying to not be there at all. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sure, what the hell. I’d love to join up if I’m welcome. What’s on everyone’s mind? The weird mood seemed to have passed from her. I decided to chalk it up to her being reminded of whatever negativity happened at the end of last semester and moved on. I took hold of Nia’s hand and scooted close to her. My skin still felt electricity in our touch. I guess we couldn’t take too long on this… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Since you brought it up, Rina, the boundary pushing on our second round is probably a good place to start. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, I’m sorry if that felt like I was trying my luck. It just seemed like you guys are okay with teasing, and I got kinda wrapped up in thinking of how I could push the rules without breaking them…and… A bitter look crossed her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well, I don’t wanna bullshit. I haven’t gotten any in a while, and…I was also just doing what I thought sounded hot. I’m sorry that I was taking advantage of things to get off. I put my hand up to stop her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: The honesty is appreciated, but you don’t have to be sorry for either of those things. One of the reasons we wanted to have someone else was to come up with ideas we wouldn’t ourselves. Not only did you do that, but you egged us on while asking. If you had fun with the play in your own way, then that’s awesome. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: And the play itself? It was perfect for me. It felt…higher stakes than I thought a handjob could. Does that make sense? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, I getcha hun. It was spicy and moody! And I liked it too, Rina, by the way! On top of what Em was saying, I’m usually the more physical one when Em and I are fucking. Having you take control like that was different, in a good way. She pursed her lips and shot Rina a sassy, judgmental look. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Let’s maybe talk about an actual signal or something though if we’re gonna make it a thing. I couldn’t exactly “give you a yell” when your huge nuts were covering my damn face most of the time! Rina laughed meekly as a blush spread over her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheh…my bad…again… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re good, Rina. Not to imply your feelings aren’t valid, but you don’t need to keep sayin’ you’re sorry. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sor-...heh… Thank you. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re welcome! I patted Rina on the back. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We both feel the same way about this. And don’t worry, we’re not just sparing your feelings. If we really weren’t cool with it then Nia wouldn’t be able to keep herself from saying something haha. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, that’s very true Em! She’s such a sweetie, I forget she’s got some serious bite in her. Like, have you seen how she can be with strangers? She's a real bitch sometimes! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I am not! ...Usually… Sometimes people deserve it… Look, that cashier was…! Nia huffed and crossed her arms, referencing some event I was evidently absent for. I would have to ask about it another time. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ''Anyways'', we’re getting distracted! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheh, yeah. What about you guys? ‘Nough about my baggage, this was a big day for you! My heart swelled thinking about it. She was right. We actually went through with it! And it went well! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well, we’ll probably have more to talk about later, especially between Nia and I, but between the three of us? I’m not sure I really had anything I needed to come down from. I feel loved. I had fun. I feel secure right now. We turned towards Nia. She made a show of thinking about it, then beamed at us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m feeling safe and happy too! …I do have one thing to say, though. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What’s that, hun? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: If we do keep doing this, let’s maybe give it a sec on the pet names. Rina grimaced. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Do you not want me to call him “Em” anymore? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Huh? Oh! Nah nah, that’s not what I meant. You’re fine, Rina. She flipped around and pointed at me, pouting in earnest. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You, on the other hand. None of that “lover” stuff. Not yet, at least. Okay? I was fine with it when I was horny-brained, but you know how I feel about that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ahh yeah, I’m sorry. I got sort of overzealous there. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Too intimate? Nia sighed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yes and no. Remember how I stopped talking to Mac from the tennis team when he bragged about having two girlfriends? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Yeah? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I really, really don’t like cheating. I don’t like it when other people do it, and I //never, ever// want to do something like that to someone I love. I don’t ever want to betray a person so much... That same inscrutable look as before came onto Rina’s face, and she seemed distant from the conversation. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Yeah, it’s fucking disgusting… Nobody said anything for a minute as those blunt words hung in the air. I held my breath as I gauged the tension of the room. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …But um, that makes sense. I can see why that would be hard with Em’s interests. She chuckled awkwardly and the strained atmosphere slowly dissipated. She cleared her throat, as if to hasten the process. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Heh yeeaah, so I’m just a lil sensitive about some of those nicknames. I’m not against them entirely, just don’t think I’m ready for that. Nia fell back onto the bed and looked up at Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Figured I’d bring it up so you knew too. Didn’t want it getting awkward next weekend if it came up. My mind snapped at the mention of the date we talked about prior. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: On that note, are you still up for that? I had a lot of fun tonight. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I did too. It was great! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, so if you still want to do next weekend, then we’d love to. Rina laid on her bed and faced up at the ceiling, hands behind her head. Her face was stoic and she seemed deep in thought. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …I think so. I don’t wanna say yes for sure, but let’s plan on it. If I change my mind I’ll try to let you know ASAP. Sound fair? I want to give you some time to think about it too. Without me around, and without you being horny. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Absolutely. Thank you, Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Totes, girl. We’ll give it a think. Nia stretched and got up from the bed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Speaking of, we should get out of your hair anyways. It’s kinda late, we should get to Em’s place. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You mean get into Em’s pants. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Who Nia? She would never imply something so vulgar. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Keep that up and maybe I won’t touch you //at all//. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You promise~? The three of us cracked up at that, then got ready. Rina helped us gather everything together and walked us to her apartment lobby. We hugged and went our separate ways. As Nia and I walked in the brisk night air, we held ourselves together tightly. Something between us felt changed. I wasn’t sure what it was, but I was positive it was good. I knew we were closer than before in some intangible, but important way. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t think you’re getting off easy. I looked at her confused. She met my eyes, expression dripping with a burning, unfettered lust. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Do you know how fucking hard that was to do when I’m //this// horny? When we get home I’m piledriving your ass into the bed! If I’m feeling nice, I’ll stop after you pass out~. In all the post-sex talk, I had almost forgotten neither of us came earlier. All of those backed up hormones came crashing into me at once, evoking violent tremors through my body. I grabbed her hand and started speed walking towards my apartment. She first matched my pace, then started jogging ahead. Before I knew it, the two of us were practically racing. I had a feeling we were going to be very sore in the morning. [[A week of waiting]]

Emery and Nia have been together for almost seven years now, since their second year of high school. For the past year, the couple have been experimenting with Netorase, but they’ve always kept it as bedroom roleplay between the two of them. With their summer break winding down and their oncoming workload looking dramatic, they want to spice up their sex life and invite a third party. Understandably, they are hesitant to invite just anyone. It needs to be someone who they both know; someone who seems like they would be okay with this kind of thing, and who wouldn’t try to make this into something it isn’t. After much deliberation, they eventually decide the best person to ask would be their mutual friend Rina from the college basketball team. [[Emery]] [[Nia]] [[Rina]] [[Lucy]]

Sore was a //drastic// understatement. Worn from the activity of a new semester and our sexual escapades, not to mention our four unbroken rounds of emotional, semi-lucid sex after getting home from meeting with Rina, we could practically hear our bones creaking as we got out of bed that next morning. We swore the both of us would abstain from anything too strenuous for the next few days while we recovered. Partly it was out of a logical concern that getting sick on the first week of classes was going to be hard to come back from, but in truth — on a more animalistic level — we were more afraid that we wouldn’t be able to attend our upcoming “date”. We had loved the play with Rina, and were frankly dying for Saturday’s arrival. The days following our session had been chock-full of cheers, jeers, and tears regarding the topic. We had discussed things in earnest to be sure, but ultimately there was no question in our minds on where we stood. As far as either of us were concerned, the last session had merely been an appetizer, and every passing day stood only to further whet our appetites for the main course. We needed at least one more go with our partner in crime before we would be satisfied. Without it, we weren’t confident our decision to continue wouldn’t be born primarily of horny curiosity; at least, that’s what we told ourselves anyway. And thus, we began our four day crucible. Perhaps that description comes across as dramatic, however, it very much seemed like that in our case. Though hardly champions of the perverse, Nia and I were fit, young people in a very loving relationship — we were well acquainted with a sex life that allowed us to get passionate with relative frequency. That on its own would not be the worst thing; after all, we were busy people and had put our intimacy on the backburner before. This newest bout of chastity was different though, as we had a tantalizingly novel goal on the horizon. A shiny new toy hidden away by our figurative mother. It was difficult, to put it mildly… Still, we somehow managed to bear it. The majority of our lamentations were saved for the lonely dead of night. By contrast, the daylight hours were busy to the point of keeping our minds fully preoccupied. Between us aiding the clubs and teams with recruitment week, the piles of paperwork accumulating from our classes, and Nia taking care of her younger siblings, we were engaged just enough to stay sane. We didn’t even speak much to Rina outside of our newly formed group chat. With her major recently changed, her basketball practice, and her duties as an assistant coach for two different schools, the only time I saw her was when she was half-asleep in class. For better or for worse, the days slowly began to blend together. Before we knew it, Wednesday became Friday, and Friday became Saturday morning. When finalizing the details earlier in the week, we had all agreed to meet in the midday. We wanted to spend some time together and catch up, but didn’t want to get together so early that exhaustion would set in before the real event started. The outline was to go to our local amusement park for a few hours, grab some dinner at Rina’s favorite spot, then head to her place. Sure, it was a simple arrangement, not to mention on the pricier side as far as these things went, but it was easy, fun, and hey, this was a special day; if we weren’t going to go all out for this, when would we? Our tortuous week finally done and the preparations complete, Nia and I excitedly set out to explore this new chapter in our lives to its fullest. [[Meet ups and heat ups]]

(set: $swv to (prompt: "What was our normal safe phrase again?", "End scene")) Nia and I made our way across the street. In the distance we could see the entrance gates, several sparse lines of patrons waiting their turn to buy tickets. Leyland’s Amusement hadn’t seen much business lately, but it still had a reasonable enough stream of income to stay open. While I felt for the owners, the park’s more sleepy atmosphere made a perfect location for a date like this — providing plenty of entertainment options without the crowded attractions and impersonal feel of chain parks. As we closed in, we spotted Rina waiting near a collection of knock-off cartoon cutouts. She didn’t see us approach, completely rapt in examining the finer details of their artifacted textures and smeared colors. She shook her head disapprovingly. Nia and I shared a laugh at this rather unexpected side of her. It was comical, the contrast of seeing such a serious looking woman like her scrutinizing mascots so intently. Nia’s cheerfulness developed a mischievous bent as we collected ourselves, and she gestured in Rina’s direction. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Should I start now? A thrill crawled down my neck. The “start” she was referring to was part of the preparations we’d made for the day. While we were excited just to get out with a friend, that wasn’t really what this day was about. This was our preamble to the first real, //full// session we were all sharing together. Given that, it seemed like a shame to just have the special day play out in a normal, //entirely// platonic fashion. I nodded in response. Nia gave me a toothy grin, squeezed me firmly, then closed in and planted a quick peck on my lips. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Remember, we’re just playing around. Kay? Safety phrase is “$swv”, as usual, if ya wanna stop. I love you more than anything! With that, Nia let go of my hand and ran up behind Rina. She prowled behind the oblivious athlete and stanced herself in a pounce. I played along and circled around Rina’s nearside, waving a hand and calling out to her. She began to turn and greet me, her resting face brightening up. Before Rina could get a word out, however, Nia clutched herself on Rina’s back and wrapped her arms around her body. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Rina! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Woah! Hahaha, hey Nia! Nia stayed attached to Rina and let her hands wander. One of them traveled upwards and cupped the bottom of Rina’s right breast, while the other moved south until it pressed on its target’s abdomen. Sexual energy immediately charged Rina’s demeanor. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ohho, I missed you too~ Rina’s hands slid down, meeting Nia’s and resting there while they spoke. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Did we keep you waiting too long~? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //Did you ever!// This week was torture, I didn’t think today was ever going to come~. Nia slipped from Rina’s embrace and circled around, before settling at the athlete’s side. She winked at me as she smoothly locked their arms together, then leaned against Rina’s and snuggled intimately. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I meant today, silly girl~. But hey, I’m glad to hear Em and I weren’t the only ones suffering this week hehe. Rina started and suddenly seemed to recall I was ten feet from their impromptu cuddling session. Something told me she briefly forgot the details we discussed for the roleplay as soon as Nia’s tits were on her back — being familiar with the sensation, of course, I could easily sympathize. She turned back to me with a forced cocky expression. While she clearly wasn’t as used to acting as Nia was, the lack of skill was charming in its own way. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ahaha, sorry Em. Nia //distracted// me and I totally left you hanging. I left my vantage point and walked up to them, taking Nia’s free hand in mine upon arrival. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I sympathize with you wholeheartedly, Rina. Nia is…incredibly //distracting// when she puts her mind to it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ain’t she though? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Okay okay, enough with the compliments. We should probably get in there and have some fun. We’re making a scene. Taking in the surroundings, passersby amid the lines were indeed looking at us with morbid and lecherous curiosity alike. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, well…you started it. [[Child-like wonder]]

(text-colour:green)[Nia]: Wait so, is this really the first time you’ve been to an amusement park Rina? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yep! I was really excited when you guys invited me. I’ve always wanted to visit one, but was told they were just a thing for kids. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Whoever told you that is a real stick in the mud. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It's more accurate to say they’re usually attractions for families. That’s changed in the last couple decades though. It’s a lot more common these days for parks to cater heavily for our demographic. Our friend’s eyes darted around the myriad of different stalls while chatting. While at first her focus had been primarily on teasing me with Nia, she seemed to have completely forgotten in favor of taking in all of the new sights. Having waited a week, I couldn’t say I wasn’t //a little// disappointed, but watching the usually suave and powerful basketball star act like an excitable puppy was plenty satisfying in its own way. We decided to embrace it and just enjoy things as they came. Fetching a couple staples, Nia and I guided Rina through the assortment of stands. Cotton candy, water guns, digital horse races, and a sickeningly wide array of fried doughs, and that was just a fraction. Unsurprisingly, she was very competitive when it came to the games. With us and with the establishments themselves. It was after a fifteen minute stint of repeated failures that we had to drag her away from the ring toss before she and the snarky operator she accused of rigging the game got into a spat. About an hour or so of sampling all the different attractions later, we opted to take a break on a bench. Nia jogged to some nearby drink machines while the two of us lounged. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Having fun so far? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah! Hehe, this is a blast Em! I was taken aback by just how much genuine glee she’d compressed into that short response. Outside a hard won game of basketball, her smile was the brightest I’d seen on her since we met. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Do you think you’d be down for some rides after this? Ohhh man, do you wanna do that drop tower? I’ve really been jonesing to get on that since I saw it! She slammed her palms against my thighs and excitedly brought our faces close. I flinched back and steadied against the metal behind me. Her blinding mood abated some at that, suddenly sobered from the colossal high. She broke eye contact and pulled away, though not entirely off my lap. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ah…uh, sorry. I’m acting like a hyper kid, aren’t I? It was surprising just how much my reaction seemed to dampen her luster. She was never so hot and cold as far as I could recall. Admittedly we had only recently gotten this close, but wasn’t Rina one to act confident and smooth over any awkwardness? Was this fragility a new development? Or was I just getting to know the //real// her? Regardless of the reason for her behavior, I felt bad that she seemed so put out. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hahaha Rina, what are you apologizing for? Playing it off seemed like the best route to take. If I took things too seriously then I might drag out some topics she doesn’t want to touch on. Or worse, she’ll think she ruined the date altogether. I pressed my hands on top of hers and squeezed them softly, hoping to impart some reassurance. Normally I’d feel weird about being so physical, but my years adjacent to Rina told me that form of expression came intuitively for her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia is right, you apologize too much. Don’t worry so much. I’m having fun too. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Was there anything else you wanted to ride aside from the drop tower? There are a couple of coasters here that I’m really fond of. The big red one, in particular. I cringed at what I was about to say, but for the sake of levity it was worth the blow to my ego. I leaned in closer to her and whispered in a playful manner. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Though if I’m being honest, I’m actually too short to ride some of them. They just let me on because Nia and I have been regulars here for years hehehe. Rina burst into a short fit of hard laughter, her face contorting as she tried guiltily to suppress it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Whooo man, that’s great! Hehe, I shouldn’t be laughing so hard at that. My bad. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No no, it’s fine heh. I know it’s pretty funny. Besides, I'm the one who made the joke. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: True that. Don’t be funny if you don’t want me laughing, aight? Thankfully, the atmosphere seemed to have recovered. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You know guys, I thought //I// was the one who was supposed to be getting the action here. Rina and I both let out a yelp as a frowning Nia suddenly appeared next to us; sporting a trio of sports drinks under one arm and holding her hip with the other. Her faux grumpy expression cracked, evolving into her usual teasing smirk. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Do you two want the first round instead? We assessed our positioning. We’d been incredibly close for a while, she had a point. Before I could pull away though, Rina wrapped her arm around the small of my back and pulled me against her chest. She looked up at Nia coquettishly. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh yeah? I’ll take ya up on it, if the offer’s legit. Think you can handle being on the other side of the show~? Nia blushed hard — far harder, in fact, than I would have predicted — then puffed her cheeks and produced a noise of frustration. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: N-no! I was kidding! I’m too jealous for that! She hopped onto the bench and pressed her butt between us, sitting on our laps to create a separating gap. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t go stealing my man! She hung onto me and squished ourselves together. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Or my role! I’m the star of the show this time! We couldn’t help but laugh at the over the top display of petulance. She didn’t act out like this when she was actually angry. She must have heard us talking and wanted to help lighten things up. Not wasting Nia’s assist, I looked toward Rina and came in with the finisher. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: There, not feeling so “childish” now, right? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You’ve got me there. At least I’m not acting like that. Nia wrapped her arms around our necks and pulled us into an awkward headlock. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I can hear you! [[Too hot to handle]]

With a little more time and banter behind us, we all got up and started heading towards the rides…or at least, I thought everyone got up. Nia and I found that Rina stayed seated on the bench with a far away expression on her face; she appeared to be lounging, her legs curled up diagonally to her torso. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You good, dude? Rina jolted slightly at the question and adopted her standard, cool attitude. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: All good. Just…wasn’t ready to go yet. Legs fell asleep, ya feel me? Upon a more thorough inspection, her movements were actually quite rigid and minimal. Her legs were locked pretty tightly together as well… Realization dawned on me in that moment, and heat filled my brain. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ohhh… Involuntarily, a noise of understanding escaped me. Rina’s eyes went wide and her smile took on that slight awkward bend I was becoming familiar with. Nia looked between us questioningly, but her confusion quickly cleared up and powerful foxiness took its place. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oohh nooo, I see~. Nia bit her lip and waltzed back over to the bench, swinging her hips with swagger before sliding next to Rina’s backside. She arched her legs over the athlete’s and leaned in close to her ear with a whisper. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Having my ass on your lap cause a //big// problem~? I’m sooo sorry~. Nia and I were on the same page. This was too good of an opportunity to go to waste. Rina didn’t need time, she needed //help//. Giddiness closed my throat. I looked around for somewhere we could //take care// of her. Luckily we were in a less trafficked portion of the park, and a pair of family bathrooms were located just a dozen or so meters away. We each slipped one of Rina’s arms over our shoulders — though with our height difference, it may have been more accurate to say I was holding the arm instead of her — and hastily led her over to the small building, pantomiming as if she was going to throw up. The three of us piled through the door of the bathroom and locked it. Nia practically slammed Rina against the wall and fell to her knees, loudly popping the skirt snaps in front of her. I sat on the toilet seat and wrestled clumsily with my zipper as I watched. Rina’s dick surged up as it was freed from its elastic confines, knocking its owner’s top abs with a resonant clap. Nia’s hands immediately shot to their targets, one stroking the top of Rina’s shaft and the other fondling her balls. My love then shoved her face underneath, emulating their position from last week’s session. She took it a step further this time, however, running her tongue along the huge orbs and pressing them against her lips with her groping hand. The sounds of labored breathing and loud, wet kisses filled the small room. Her mouth smacked as she momentarily pulled back, a small trail of drool still tying her tongue to her targets. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //~Ahhh fuck~!// I’ve been waiting for this //all week~!// Gotta make sure I get a //real// good taste to make up for last time~! Nia’s “victim” shuddered violently as the horny redhead dove back in. The stroking picked up the pace and kissing noises evolved into loud sucking — Rina shoved a hand to her mouth to stifle her guttural moans. Her knees quaked and bent unsteadily, causing her equipment to press deeper onto Nia’s face. It was all I could do to stay quiet as well; I was a mess, jerking off feverishly while watching Nia completely lose herself in this primal experience. With her mouth now fully occupied, her fondling hand migrated from Rina’s crotch to her own, frantically ripping off the straps of her pleated skirt and slipping under her now exposed white lace to begin masturbating. She was amazing. She was radiant! My body clenched and teeth gritting, I struggled desperately to keep from cumming too soon. The fingers covering Rina’s mouth spread apart, saliva flowing through the now open digits and down her arm. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Dammit Nia~! How is your mouth so //perfect//~!? Her free hand locked around the back of Nia’s head and held it against her sack. Nia’s hands sped up and a throaty noise emanated from below. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Hoooly…! Ooh Nia! ''Please'' keep swirling your tongue like that~! I knew how excellent my beloved was at oral servicing, and my imagination went wild as I pictured the many skillful maneuvers she could be inflicting upon Rina at the moment. My hand was coated at this point. I hastily grabbed several handfuls of toilet paper and wadded them up in preparation. It seemed I wasn’t the only one who was on the razor’s edge. Rina and Nia’s muffled moans both escalated, and their entire bodies shook in earnest. Splattering came from both of them, as thick droplets of lubricant dripped off their sexes and onto the tiled floor. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I…Ah~! God I-I’m so close! The shuddering brunette snapped her head in my direction, her smoldering gaze and coarse vocals searing my soul. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: W-where am I cumming, Em!? //~Ah! Hurry~!// I’m about to bust //so fucking hard//. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Down her throat! Don’t let Nia spill ''any'' of it~! My mouth moved before I could think. The words were spoken with conviction and authority. Thoughts raced a mile a minute, debating back and forth in response to my demand. Aren’t we moving a little fast? (text-colour:magenta)[//You’re just being practical, it’s to avoid a mess.//] Is Nia going to be able to handle all that? (text-colour:magenta)[//She’s the one who said she wanted a taste all week; be a good boyfriend and give it to her~!//] Will Rina be too rough with her? (text-colour:magenta)[//She’s taken you to the hilt before, what’s a few more inches?//] Am I sure about this? (text-colour:magenta)[//You don’t care, this is so hot~!//] …I couldn’t deny that logic, and didn’t try to. Rina stuck her tongue between her teeth in a crazed gesture of thrill and wrenched Nia from her balls with a wet pop. She guided her lust blinded partner by the hair to the tip of her throbbing member, on which the messy redhead abruptly latched with an audible slurp. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //~Ohhh!// Oh shit! Rina’s hips bucked and she held tightly onto Nia’s head. She impaled my love down on her dick with startling ease. Whether it was her muscles, Nia’s spirited warm-up, or sheer horny eagerness on both their parts, the results were the same. The crown and several more inches sunk in before I heard Nia’s throat protest the massive intruder, then at least two additional inches followed that before they stopped pushing — agreeing through some unspoken understanding that it wouldn’t be good to try their luck. Both of Nia’s hands now dug into her underwear; ravaging her pussy hectically in ways I could only see the vaguest outline of. She groaned around the slab of cock in her mouth as her body shivered in sexual delight, the portion of her voice that was scrutable through the gags pitching high and sharp. I could recognize that tone anywhere. She was cumming. Hard. Just knowing that set me off, and Rina too, it seemed. Both of us hit climax in rough unison, faces scrunched and teeth clenched as we resisted crying out in ecstasy. We all did our best to silently endure the pleasure of the moment. The only things audible were the inevitable; the crowds milling outside, rides rattling along their titanic rail tracks, and the sounds of Nia gulping down Rina’s seemingly endless load. [[Coming down]]

Once her swallowing slowed and clarity returned to her eyes, Nia craned in my direction and settled on my lower half. Her still stretched lips struggled to form a proper upward curve, but all the same, her tear-filled eyes unmistakably glimmered at the sight of my cum-soaked tissues. She formed her hands into a little heart and winked at me. My heart stopped and my breath caught — it took every ounce of power I had to not immediately begin masturbating again, the logical part of my brain nagging that we were still in a public location. Rina giggled and ruffled Nia’s hair as she watched the scene unfold. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Your reactions really are too cute, Em. I’m surprised she can //ever// resist teasing you. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ehehe, I actually don’t believe she can most of the time. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I hope I get a chance to see- Whoa~ahh! Not only was Rina cut short, she nearly lost her balance entirely; interrupted by the piercing slurp of Nia applying a great deal of suction while pulling out. The kneeling girl placed her glistening hands at the base of Rina’s semi-flaccid dick and drew them up with a tight grip as she sucked. Her neck shifted twice more as she milked the left-overs that somehow remained. The tip of her tongue then poked between her lips and Rina’s glans, and visibly rolled around the ridge, before she finally unlatched with an electrifying smack. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Good girls~. Thanks for the meal~. Nia patted Rina’s clenching undercarriage as she spoke, then smirked up at the twitching athlete. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //I guess// your reactions are pretty cute too, hehe. The cocky girl stood up and stretched as Rina stared in disbelief. I just grinned and shook my head, well acquainted with Nia’s post-sex antics. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha! You’re a damn machine, Nia! You barely even gagged! I’ve never had someone handle me like that. She scoffed in a playful confidence and walked to me without further response. Upon reaching her destination, she stood over me and looked into my lap full of used toilet paper. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Seems like you had fun too, cutie~. I nodded wordlessly and took in her beauty. She brushed her hair over her shoulder in a theatrical, satisfied gesture, then bent over, peered into my eyes, and massaged my scalp (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Good boy~. I leaned into her face and gave her a pet as well since we were all doing it. There was an illicit thrill in doing it after Rina, as a bonus. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thank you for the amazing show, you were so sexy! And good job keeping it all down! I’m //so// proud of you~! She instantly straightened out and her already flushed face reddened further at the praise. Her lashes fluttered as she exhaled, then shot me a slightly annoyed look. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: D-don’t get me revved up again, honey! We ''can’t'' stay in here any longer… A-and I don’t want my damn nipples to chafe all day! Rina cracked up at that, and I couldn’t help but do the same. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Just a sample of your own medicine, hehe! Figured you needed a chaser after all that heavy drinking! I winked and followed her up, then gave my beat red darling a kiss on the cheek. [[Thrillers and dramas]]

Rina and I excitedly hopped off “The Soul Flayer” again, high-fiving each other and laughing as we went. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Man, I think this one is my fave too, Em! That shit fucking rips you up! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It really does! The designers really knew what they were doing. And the mood they set complements it so well too! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah! The smoke and light show at the end there? Even better the third time! I know why this place is broke, there’s no way they ain’t still paying that shit off hahaha! She once again tried and failed to tame her thoroughly windblown hair as we grabbed our stuff from the storage cubbies. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ahh man…! I feel bad Nia had to sit out though! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t worry about it so much, Rina. I’m sure her… I gesticulated awkwardly as I formulated my point. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …having a full stomach didn’t help things, haha! But that’s not the main issue; indoor rides like that always make her feel woozy after a round or two. Normally we only go on them once, but she always feels guilty because she knows I really like them. So chill out, you’re actually doing us both a big favor by keeping me company. Giving her a thumbs up, I smiled and finished making sure everything was in my backpack. As we headed down the exit ramp, we spotted Nia sitting on a nearby bench. She had an annoyed look on her face and was nursing some sort of iced beverage close to her chest. The reason for the annoyance was immediately evident; a couple of guys with baseball caps and casual clothing sat on either side of her. Rina’s eyes squinted at the scene. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Are those guys trying to hit on her? I sighed and put my hands on my hips (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, probably. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Should we go and uh, do something about that? I analyzed the situation to see how it was faring. The two of them were talking to her back and forth. She was giving them short or non-verbal responses. I could even see her roll her eyes from all the way over here. She had herself closed off, and they didn’t seem to be making any moves to get up. I sighed again, more heavily this time. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeaaah, I know that look. She’s definitely already told them no a few times. They probably ignored her, or they’re making some kind of excuse. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: What the fuck? Who does that? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia has really bad luck with guys for some reason. To put it bluntly, basically everyone who hits on her seems to be an asshole. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Maybe all the decent people can tell she’s not interested? Not like it matters either way. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Who knows. As we closed in, I put a hand out in front of Rina and motioned for her to stop. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t worry, I’ve got this. I know you’re not a fan of arguments. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Huh? Uh, okay… She gave me a puzzled look, but then nodded and stood back. I took a deep breath and pulled from my well of experiences. I hated resolving problems like this, why did it have to be by far the easiest method…? Steeling myself, I put on my most exaggerated ditzy girl mannerisms and pinched my vocal chords, transforming my already soft, feminine voice into that of an archetypal soprano woman. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Honeeey! I’m soooo sorry, jeez! Did I keep you waiting? I jogged over to Nia with an intentionally bad running form and then put my hands on my knees as if I were out of breath. Her face immediately perked up as she heard me and she gleamed at me. I grabbed onto her hand and pulled her out of her seat. The two guys, meanwhile, frowned and gave me a once over as they stayed seated. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah! Where were you? I thought we were heading home? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, sorry! We were waiting by the bathroom for waaay too long. //Then// I got lost, like usual hehe! I shrugged out my arms in dramatic exasperation, then in one motion smoothly hooked her with my arm and took a sip from her drink, before affectionately kissing her on the neck. Turning to the bench, I looked over the two guys and gave them a wide, ditzy smile. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Were you boys keeping my dear company while I was away? Guy #1: Uhh… I interjected before he could gather his thoughts. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Daw, you’re too sweet! We were worried her morning sickness was coming back. I felt bad leaving her all alone like that! Guy #2: Wait, you’re actually pregnant? Nia held her belly and barked angrily at the man. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That’s what I was ''fucking'' telling you. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey hey, be nice honey. It’s okay. Pulling Nia into a caress, I rubbed her back and made a show of consoling her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry guys, she’s a lil moody. I appreciate you keeping her company! We gotta get her home. Have a nice day! I guided Nia from the pair and turned to walk away. Guy #1: …Um hey, wait a sec- Waving my hand, I raised my voice to drown him out and greeted Rina. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Heeeey, you were right! She was over here! Rina waved back, then shot the guys a glare so venomous it almost made //me// nervous. I looked back and waved at them as well to gauge their reaction. Appearing suitably put off, we made our way from the scene as they sat there bewildered. [[Dinner]]

We sat in a corner booth at the far end of the restaurant, waiting for appetizers and chatting over drinks. It was an older, generically oriental styled establishment — something that looked like it had been through several changes of ownership in the last thirty years without once receiving a full renovation. I hadn’t heard of it before either, and all of the menus seemed roughly translated. This was all a plus for me, however, as I felt local places such as these often had the most authentic dishes. Rina insisted she’d order everything to get us started as well, so I was excited to try out something new. Nia, on the other hand, looked a little nervous. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Uhhh, so you’re sure they’re not gonna make it too spicy? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I //promise//. Like I said, I asked them to keep a couple of them mild for you. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeaaah I know you said that. I’ve just had some bad luck in the past with places like these. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: No duh, cause you’re a dumbass American girl who can’t speak the language hahaha. She pointed a thumb at herself and smirked. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //I// do, and I know the people who own the place. They’re a nice old couple from Taiwan and their grandkids. Nia pouted, but shrugged and nodded her head. The food arrived and we picked over it as we continued talking. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: On that note Rina, I was surprised you knew Mandarin. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ehhh, I wouldn’t say I //know// it, I’m just good enough to not make an ass of myself. She jokingly nudged Nia with her elbow. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: No offense. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ha.Ha.Ha. Yuck it up while you still can. You’ll be lucky to finish a sentence in //any// language by the end of the night. We laughed and I patted Nia on the back. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t be salty, hun. You know some French, German and Italian. You’re doing better than I am. Nia stuck her nose up with some pride. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heheh, that’s right. Impressed now, Rina? She gave us an amused, competitive expression. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What’s with the shit-eating grin? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I was just thinking that’s perfect. I know Korean, some Japanese, and some Vietnamese too. You can cover the west, and I’ll cover the east. Nia visibly deflated, thoroughly bested in this category. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Gah! Whatever! You win this round. She grabbed her chopsticks and shoved several things off the plates in front of her into her mouth. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ooh, careful hun. That last one might be too spicy for you. Nia held her mouth in alarm and froze up, but, after pausing, chewed and swallowed without incident. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Huh… Guess I’m getting better with spice. That wasn’t as bad as I thought! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nice job love! Must be all the popcorn you steal from my bowl. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, sure, that’s //totally// why. And, by the way, I only do that because you steal mine first, ya dick! It’s not that I //want// to, it’s the principle of the thing. Nia gently punched my arm alongside her retort. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Actually... Not to burst your bubble, but those’re usually spicier on the other end. Nia groaned and rested her elbows against the table. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Greaaat… Looking forward to that one… [[Way of living]]

We all sat in a serene quiet and ate our respective entrees. It was rare for all three of us to be together and not have a conversation going. I could hardly complain though. A comfortable silence — what felt like one to me, at least — was a good thing. I had high hopes that times like these were a sign that people got along well. Ironically, Rina decided it was a good time to bring the conversation back to life. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hey, so…And feel free to shoot me down if you don’t wanna talk about it, but… What was the deal with that whole act at Leyland’s? I figured you guys were just playing it off, but we just kinda left after that and didn’t talk about it. I dunno, gave me a weird vibe the more I thought about it. There it was. I had been passively wondering if — or, more accurately, when — she was going to ask about that situation. Before I could respond though, Nia readily chimed in with her own contribution. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: The “hot and cold pregnant lesbians” shtick is our ol’ reliable. It used to be just a “hot and cold lesbians" act, but some of those douchebags’d still think they could bag both of us. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Pretending one of us is pregnant has yielded much better results in the long run. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, Em was telling me you have a history with guys acting like that. Nia stiffened, then jerked in my direction, silently asking what //exactly// I had said about her “history with guys”. She was probably worried I’d spoken about her rough patch in high school; wanting to, if possible, avoid the topic around Rina after awkwardly brushing past it during our first meet-up. Rina quirked her brow, but withheld any comment. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We’ve had a lot of bad luck with guys being overly persistent. Not just on her end either, actually. Sometimes I’m the one they hit on, thinking I’m a girl too. I clarified and diverted the topic a bit, both of which Nia was clearly thankful for. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …And they don’t care when you tell them you’re a guy? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …They usually think I’m lying, and I’m not exactly keen to debate them on that. That’s why we started the whole complicated act. Rina scowled hard at that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: What a bunch of fucking…! She unclenched her fist and took a deep breath, then looked at me with an icy gaze. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Phew…fucking assholes… Whatever though, izzat why you added the whole pregnancy deal? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: More or less. Some guys like them are still fine with pestering lesbian couples, but even the ones gutsy enough for that leave a girl alone if she’s pregnant. She clicked her tongue in frustration. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Gross. No wonder you were so good at the scatterbrain girl act, when you two’ve gotta deal with shit like that all the time. This time it was my turn to stiffen. I wasn’t expecting her to touch on my dark past as well. Rina had a proclivity for touching on sensitive subjects by accident. Then again, we had given her the go ahead to ask about a topic we were plainly brushing past. It was hardly her fault. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yep, you got it… It’s a real pain sometimes, but I do it for Nia. Rina seemed to notice something, but, once again, she kept whatever observations she had to herself. She was much more conversationally reserved than I gave her credit for in the past. But I supposed I should have expected that given our reactions — it was just a stark contrast from her usual physical displays of affection. We let the conversation die and buried it with huge piles of food and drink. Dusk eventually began to creep in as we finished. We sat satisfied around the table, enjoying light bits of chit-chat and polishing off our plates. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …So Em, why’d you say I’m not good with conflict? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hmm? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: When’d you say that? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Before we met up with you, hun. Though I think I said "you don’t like arguments”, if I recall correctly. I tapped my chin and looked over Rina as I considered my answer. She was propped back casually, like she had little investment, but I sensed some pretense there. Why hide her intrigue though? A statement like that could have been reasonably interesting to someone who seemed to be so confident — granted, I had a blooming skepticism towards that attitude of hers… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m not sure why I said that. I’ve just never once seen you real fight with anyone, so it must have been an impression I got. You do get into some heated discussions sometimes — earlier today, for example — but in the almost three years we’ve known each other, you always smooth things over somehow before they get serious. Doesn’t matter if they’re a friend or a stranger. It happens a lot during your basketball games, especially. A small smile came to her face as I explained my reasoning. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …I’m glad to hear that… She stared off into space briefly, then continued speaking. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Cause I’ve gotta show all the kids I coach how to act, obviously. If I don’t behave myself they'll pick up shitty habits, haha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: And speaking of shitty habits… Rina stood up and pulled her wallet from her pocket. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: About time I paid you back for lending me those notes! Nia and I started to object, but Rina held a finger to her lips and leaned against the table. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Shush, I don’t wanna hear it. Just lemme do this. Besides, this is more a custom than obligation… She leaned in closer and adopted a sultry whisper. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Cause I always wine and dine the people I’m gonna fuck~. She promptly walked off without another word as Nia and I sat there. With all the fun we’d had today, we didn’t realize just how much time had passed. The outside world was dark now, but the night was still very, very young… [[First time]]

Though not far, the walk home immediately devolved into a whirlwind of chaotic horniness. We were barely out the door before Rina groped Nia’s ass so hard she made an adorable squeaking noise and jolted to her tiptoes. For the rest of the walk, my love and I intimately caressed each other’s increasingly sweaty hands; all the while, Rina’s digits frequently slipped under the hem of Nia’s skirt. By the time we made it to the door of the apartment our lust was at a boiling point. Nia and I had completely dropped decorum and were making-out with each other as Rina’s trembling hands struggled to fit the key into the deadbolt. She cursed in frustration several times as the metal latchings failed to cooperate with her impatience. Once unlocked, the door swung open and slammed into the door-stopper. Rina allowed us one final deep kiss, before snatching Nia from my hands and pulling her into a frenching of their own. She picked up the smaller girl and held her in her arms as their tongues frantically intertwined. My pulse raced hard and fast, echoing loudly through my brain as I watched them melt into each other. We all rushed into the master bedroom, practically flying onto the bed as we fumbled in annoyance with our clothes. Rina and Nia never once broke their kiss as we readied ourselves. Before long, we were all entirely naked. I propped all the available pillows against the headboard of the bed and leaned my back on them with my limbs splayed open and my knees up. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia, what we talked about before. Nia managed to pull herself from Rina’s clutches just long enough to respond. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: W-weren’t we going to have some foreplay first? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: There’s no way we can wait. She jittered with excitement and nodded her head. The wild look in her eyes told me she was happy we didn’t have to waste time with any more prep. She crawled in close, kissed me passionately, then flipped around and nestled herself backward into my embrace. Rina, meanwhile, took the lull in action as an opportunity to walk up to her nightstand and grab a collection of items from the drawer. There were several of interest, including multiple kinds of lubricant, a bottle of spermicide, and several unopened boxes of condoms. I didn’t recognize the branding as anything I had seen on store shelves, but decided it didn’t matter and quickly forgot the details. She opened one of the cardboard containers without care and hastily spread its contents onto the top of the side table, opening one of the wrappers, and sliding it onto her length with a practiced motion. Our lover of the night leaped back onto the bed and stood on her knees, looming over Nia and I’s collective form. She breathed heavily as she watched us. Nia leaned into my collarbone and nuzzled my neck as I traced my hands down her sides, where my palms finally settled on the insides of her thighs. I pulled her legs apart and held them open, presenting Nia to Rina as we both looked up at her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We thought this would be a good starting position. Hope you don’t mind me sharing the bed for a bit, heh. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Don’t worry dude, that just makes it even //better// for me... She rubbed her face into her hands and pulled her hair back over her shoulders. Her whole body was vibrating. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hahaha! God Rina, you look like you’re gonna fucking lose it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ''I am''. She wasn’t lying. The look in her eyes told me it was all she could do to hold back from body slamming Nia right then and there. She carefully situated Nia’s lower body between her legs and rested the base of her dick over the smaller girl’s mons. The sight was dizzying. Even if her torso was bunched up, the fact that the massive cock ran over my girlfriend’s solar plexus was intimidating. That must have been doubly so for Nia, as her breathing started to become ragged and short. I kissed her temple and rubbed my cheek into her sweat matted locks. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You’re going to be okay, Nia. I’ve got you. Rina will not hurt you. It’s okay. As if to emphasize my point, the tall brunette unloaded a bottle of lube into her hand and slathered it all over the upper top two-thirds of her shaft. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Don’t sweat it girl. As much as I’d //love// to ravage you //right fucking now//, there’s no way I’m gonna go all out on a pussy that’s never been properly //stretched// before~. She cringed momentarily and gave her usual awkward grin. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uhh, s-sorry heh… Maybe that was a bit harsh. Still don’t have the hang of a third party being here. Nia laughed and waved her hand. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t sweat it, hehehe, I just felt him twitch on my back. You know Em likes a little teasing~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, please keep going. Don’t hold back~! Rina’s vibrations intensified and she bit her lip in need. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Don’t give me that kind of power. I’m not sure if I can handle it. She took a deep breath and crouched her full body over Nia. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: God you’re fucking sexy. Those years on the swim team really show. The tall girl then pulled back and aligned her glans with the entrance of Nia’s sex. She teased her bulbous head in and out, rubbing it around the lips and clit before each progressively deeper insertion. Nia twitched every time, and her grip on my forearms steadily tightened. This went on for over several agonizing minutes. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Gawd~! Ah~! Rina, you’re killing me here! Fuck me already~! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheh, I was hoping I could get you to beg for me~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Haah…You’re hilario-''OH''~! Her response to Rina’s taunting was abruptly cut off as she was suddenly stuffed full of thick cock — a little under half the full length from what I could tell. Her back arched and she held me with a python’s grip as she struggled to catch her breath. It was as if that one thrust had knocked the wind out of her. Rina waited patiently while she recovered. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Fuck you’re tight~! You know, hehe, Em’s not the only one. //Your// reactions are pretty cute too~. Nia wheezed a reply I couldn’t parse and held up her middle finger. I hugged her tightly and massaged her spread thighs in attempted reassurance. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Kiss her while she’s adjusting, Em. It’ll help her relax more than some rubbing by itself. Trust me, she’s gonna need more than just your body for support while I’m playing with her~. I gently turned my love’s head and pulled her into a passionate kiss. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Are you okay, hun? She wiped sweat off her brow as she struggled to steady her panting. She shot me a sarcastically confident smirk along with a thumbs up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Just a…haah…foot long soda can lodged halfway in my snatch…haah…no big deal…I’m awesome! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haha aight tough girl, you good if I start moving then? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: F-fucking bring it~. [[Ravaged]]

For as generally competent and wonderfully hardy as my beloved girlfriend is, she might have spoken too soon this time. It had started off manageable enough. Though Rina’s equipment was larger than anything she had taken up to this point, she handled the adjusting period well. After more kisses from me and considerate movements from our partner, it hadn’t been long before they were able to have sex comfortably. The problem came afterwards, once most of the dick was crammed inside and Rina really started thrusting. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //~Aahh! Ahhh~! ~Hoooly~…Hnng!// C-crap! //Cumming a-again!// Rina! //~Fuck!// Hold me tighter, Em! //Please don’t let go!// Yet another orgasm ripped through Nia’s body as she thrashed on top of me. This must have been the fifth or sixth to assault her in the last fifteen minutes. Her whole body was covered in a thick sheen of sweat. Before I knew it, I was cumming once more as well — the friction of her toned body grinding my dick and the overwhelming stimulation of the circumstance having proven to be too much for me to bear for some time. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //Oohh~!// Oh that’s hot~! Cum with me again, Em! ~Don’t stop til you ''cover'' me! Nia grasped onto me like her life depended on it; our arms, her back, and my torso were completely sealed together and our tongues desperately danced, seeking to give Nia something to focus on other than Rina’s merciless pounding. The sexual gladiator in question had continued pistoning into Nia without rest the entire time, her labored breathing and copious perspiration the only signs of fatigue. As Nia came again, however, Rina suddenly buried her cock as far in as she could and grappled the shorter girl. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //~Ah shit, me too! ~I’m cumming too~!// (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //~Oof! Oohhh~!// Rina hissed through gritted teeth, likely working to stay cogent through the sexual euphoria. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Atta girl…R-ride the wave while it’s deep in there~. //Really// clench on it~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Haah… M-man wha~aht the hell, how can I fucking //feel// you cumming inside…? With that she fell back onto my chest, and was temporarily unresponsive to any further stimulus. The three of us stayed still for a moment while our orgasms subsided. Before we could even truly catch our breath, however, Rina, in a single fluid motion, slipped out, stood up, and exchanged her bloated condom for a new one. Then, immediately after, Rina slammed back onto Nia and began her pumping anew. Despite the rapid speed at the onset though, her movements were slower this time, more methodical than before. She made an effort to drag her tool all the way in and all the way out with every lunge of her hips. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: G-gaahh~! Haah…dude we all literally just came! How are you good to go again?! Rina just smiled and pushed her crown against Nia’s clit before sliding in. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ah~! Take it easy, I’m s-still sensitive! Y-you’re driving me- AH~...d-driving me nuts, Rina! Rina’s grin took on an almost sadistic flair as she continued her deliberate motions. She changed her angles and shifted her motions around, crushing Nia’s insides from below, above, and on either side. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Wooaahhh~! W-what are you doi-hnng~? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Just making myself at home~...Getting a good feel for the place, ya know? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I-I’m not a f-ahh~...a fucking //renovation// project~! Rina leaned in close and her expression grew more vicious. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Wrong, you absolutely are~! Nia let out a meek, horny noise, finding no response for such a blunt, objectifying statement. Rina cupped my cheek and wagged her brows, staring deep into my eyes. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Our cute lil Em here is leasing you out to me for this show, and I’m making you to my liking~. To punctuate her point, she plunged herself as deep into Nia as she could. The red-haired girl’s back arched violently and she let out a powerful moan. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, you feel that spot in the back? That’s your Posterior Fornix I’m punching~. She leaned her weight onto Nia and a little bit more of her remaining cock slid inside — how there was still more to go, I could not comprehend. Nia squeaked and sputtered; her legs wrapped around Rina’s hips and she clawed my arms, doing her best to find some stability to withstand her intense pleasure. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I’ll give you the run down since you’re //so studious//, Em~. Maybe you could learn a little something too, Nia~. Our lecturer worked at Nia’s insides as she spoke, repeatedly ramming into her student’s hole with small, grinding jabs to revel in the hard acquired depth. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: It’s this neat little pocket behind your cervix. Most couples can’t reach it, so they don’t know, but it’s actually very flexible if you’re persuasive~. But see, anal aside, it’s the only way I can //really// get buried in someone’s guts, so //I’m very// familiar hehehe~. Rina closed in and cradled Nia’s head with her hand, gleefully pulling their faces less than an inch apart. Her hazel bangs were strewn about wildly by Nia’s frantic panting, but she ignored them. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Out of all the girls I’ve been with though, only a few of them thought it was anything to write home about. And //none// of them came from it as much as you have~. Hehe, your body is //special// Nia~. The predatory athlete peeked up at me for the briefest of seconds, before giving me a fast wink and turning back towards her prey. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You were made to take my cock~. She devoured Nia with a fierce kiss, and began fucking her even more harshly than before; muffled, lust addled cries occasionally escaped from beneath her large, chiseled form. I couldn’t take it. My mind turned to static, cum painting Nia’s back white as Rina’s final words rattled in my brain again, and again, and again. [[Soothing]]

The three of us laid over each other in a heaving, sticky pile; Rina draped over Nia, and both of them atop me. Had we just been enjoying the quiet of the dark, or had we drifted out of consciousness at some point? At a guess it felt like it had been an hour or so since we stopped, but without a visible clock I couldn’t be sure. If it were that long, then being squished by over three hundred pounds of collective woman should have left me feeling uncomfortable, but that apparently was not the case. In fact, on this night, it felt like there was nowhere else on Earth I could imagine being more comfortable. Rina stirred, then shifted upward awkwardly and hobbled like a newborn fawn towards the door of the living room. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uggh…’m gettin’ water for us… The remaining other member of the pile stirred from this as well. She squeezed me tightly and gave me a kiss, before rolling off and landing her back. For a while, we held hands as we stared up at the ceiling without saying a word. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …We finally did it…That was really intense. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Heh, ch’yeah it was. I’m friggin' hurting in places I didn’t even know I had…! We giggled a little at that before falling back into silence. We were still obviously groggy anyways, so it was fine. She sounded a little flat in her tone though, even with that considered. Hopefully she wasn’t in a bad mood about anything that just happened. Before I could continue that train of thought, Nia suddenly rolled back on top of me and scooched down until she was level with my penis. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Wha-? Hun? What are you d- (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Shhh sweetie, I need this bad. She didn’t say another word before taking the entire thing into her mouth, curling her tongue under my balls, and aggressively clamping down. My body jerked in response, but she quickly slipped her hands around my legs and grabbed my ass, firmly keeping me in place. At first she held completely still, but soon she started rolling her head up and down. She explored it every possible way: vibrating it with dulcet humming; stroking the shaft carefully with her lips; coiling her tongue around each texture; pressuring every spot with the walls of her mouth. It was impatient, passionate, and needy. She worked me as thoroughly as she ever had in all our years together, barely willing to even come up for air. I cried out and twisted the sheets in my grip. She was //really// going at it for some reason. Something in the back of my mind told me the why of her actions was fairly overt, and even provided a short list, but the hazy fatigue from ejaculating so much earlier combined with the current overwhelming pleasure overwrote my ability to think decisively. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Got some drinks, sorry for the wai-woah! Rina came in with a large carafe of ice water and several plastic cups wedged between her arm and torso. Nia did not stop at her entrance, opting to fervently continue my service. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haha damn, and I thought //I// was insatiable. Can’t believe you guys are already going again! She moved briskly to the one of her nightstands not cluttered with sex equipment, careful to avoid stepping on used condoms as she went. After setting everything down and pouring the cups, she took a seat beside me, downed one of the waters, and then began playing with her slowly growing erection. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So…you guys want this one to yourself? I don’t mind watching for a change. Course, I’d be happy to join too~. I felt myself somehow get harder in Nia’s mouth as I considered it —to which she greatly increased the aggression of her suction — but I didn’t feel like it was my place to make the final call with the other relevant party preoccupied like this. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Ah! W-well…Umm, sorry…Hard to - ugh~...think straight… I-I’m cool with it, if Nia is. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: It’s cool man. I was in the same boat earlier, remember~? How could I forget? My breath picked up at the memory. We both looked at Nia expectantly. She raised an eyebrow and smiled around my dick, before lifting her hips into the air and swaying them to and fro. Rina’s hard-on sprang with renewed energy, and so did she; hopping up and circling around Nia to get at her ass. Once she arrived, however, she face-palmed and laughed aloud. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Girl, you are a wreck down here! This time I raised an eyebrow at Nia, and she averted her gaze with a huff — or as much of a huff as you could give while still actively sucking off your boyfriend. I looked back to Rina. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You mean she’s- ~ah! S-super wet? Or…? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well…she’s definitely dripping like a faucet, but not what I meant. I meant she’s hella swollen down here. And not just cause she’s horny. She patted Nia on the butt and giggled to herself. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Girl, I really fucking beat your pussy up! You shoulda said so! My bad! She didn’t really sound sorry, and I could hardly blame her for it. She didn’t have any reason to take Nia’s actions with anything besides levity. I adopted a sternness and looked down at Nia in frustration. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia…We’ve talked about this before. Rina seemed taken back by my more serious attitude, but followed in stride. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: This a habit of hers? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: She gets really stubborn about not stopping something when //she// wants to stop. Swimming, sex, etcetera. Nia groaned in annoyance and pulled my dick out of her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mom? Dad? Okay? Chill, I’m fine. Sorry I didn’t say anything, but that isn’t why I didn’t mention it. I’m just horny //as fuck//, and I really don’t wanna stop. Kay? She quickly fell back onto my cock, giving a cross glare in defiance as she continued the blowjob. Something which, admittedly, felt both very strange and arousing. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Alright alright, calm down kids. I doubt any one of us //wants// to stop. I’ve got a cream for this. Nia takes it easy and we’ll keep going, then put that on after we’re done. Cool? This really must have been a common occurrence if she had an ointment handy. If that was the case though, and if Nia promised to take it easy, then I was okay to keep going. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Agreed. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nia? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mmhmm. Nia nodded as she hummed in the affirmative, which, as a bonus to making me feel better emotionally, felt great with my glans at the entrance to her throat. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: In the meantime, I’ve got a quickie fix for shit like this~. Her voice muffled near the end of the sentence and Nia jolted and moaned into me afterwards. I could not see exactly what Rina was doing, but her hands spreading Nia’s ass and face wedged between gave me a couple context clues. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I’ll make sure to be extra loud ‘n messy back here, since ya can’t see anything Em~. Her efforts were appreciated, and extremely effective. My mind conjured up a mass of arousing images based on the wet kisses and loud licking sounds coming from Nia’s behind. Whatever the specifics of those sounds were didn’t actually matter, they were doing a serious number on me and on Nia. Her back arched downward to push her butt further onto Rina, and her efforts to make me finish surged. Rina pulled back with a particularly moist pop. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Fuck yeah girl, you’re soaked~. You better cum for us~. Cum with Em~! My thoughts fogged as said climax arrived on my end. It was all I could do to put Nia’s head between my hands and repeatedly call out her name in ecstasy. She pushed herself to the root of my cock and massaged me with her swallowing, which intensified my ejaculation to the point where I felt another coming on before the first had even passed. I don’t know how many times I came, but not once did Nia remove herself during. [[A minor mishap]]

(text-colour:green)[Nia]: You don’t have some chapstick laying around, do ya? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heh, upper lips need a little relief too? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You try sucking dick for almost an hour and see where it gets you. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: If you’re offering~. Nah, but yeah I’ll grab that. And hey, I was, like, neck deep in pussy for over half of that! We were both in the trenches! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: More literal than figurative in your case, heheh. The three of us sat on the couch chatting. Initially we attempted to go another round, but doggy-style had proved to be catastrophic for Nia’s comfort. I squeezed her thigh with my resting arm, cringing at the memory of her writhing and cursing in pain. Nia must have been able to tell what was on my mind, because she met my hand and rubbed the fingers with her own. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: S’all good hun. It doesn’t hurt much anymore. Rina sighed and clenched her hands behind her neck. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Again, I’m really sorry. You were taking me so well earlier that I spaced that you’re not used to my size. I totally forgot other positions might fuck it up. She pulled out her phone and started passively flipping through it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Fucking cervix is the bane of my sex life. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeaaah…You and me both right now, sister. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ahh umm...haha…yeah, you more than me right now. Sorry. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Uh huh. Now how bout that chapstick? Rina smacked her head and grabbed some from a drawer under the table. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You coulda just told me it was there, hahaha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Gah, yep…just spacing on everything tonight. Rina seemed pretty down about the whole thing from earlier. I guess it wasn’t much of a surprise. The noise Nia made was pretty alarming, not to mention she really looked like she was going to vomit. Rina sounded really guilty when it happened…We needed a distraction. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Time for some food? That might help. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Em, you damn wizard. You read my mind. I was legit looking at cooking vids on my phone! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m game too. We got up kinda late, so all I’ve eaten today is a breakfast bar, dinner, and loadsa cum — pun not intended, heh. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Probably not the most balanced diet… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Speaking of, I don’t have a lot in the fridge. I bet we could figure something out between the three of us though. I mean, you’re literally majoring in culinary stuff Nia. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hmmm, but probably not a good idea to be using knives after working out that much. A few places around here are still open for take-out, let’s just do that. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Seconded. Cooking sounds waaaaay too motherfuckin’ exhausting. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Fine, but I’m paying again. I wanna make up for earlier. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Rina, you don’t have to d- (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Go for it. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Bro, that shit fucking hurt! Plus if Rina feels like she owes me for that, I’d rather get it over with now. She already doesn’t like messing with favors, and I’m not interested in dragging out her guilt. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Alright, fair enough. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hell yeah. Now let’s hurry and pick a place, I’m dying over here! We discussed different options and eventually agreed on a nearby pizza place. They were open for another few hours and had a decent selection on their website, so we decided they would be the best option. At first we debated sauce and toppings, but Rina vetoed arguing as the buyer and said she would simply get multiple pizzas. She really was keen to spoil us tonight, I just hoped it wasn’t too much out of obligation. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Alright, I’mma go out on the deck and call in the order. You two cuties hang for a bit. I had no doubt she was calling them, but she was likely giving us some personal space as well. We hadn’t had any time to really talk tonight, after all. I took in the barely furnished living room. Bare though it might’ve been, Rina had made an effort to spruce it up for us after our session. She had some sort of thrumming music on at a low volume, and several small devices cast a collection of laser lights across the dim room’s otherwise naked walls. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Rina’s taste in ambiance isn’t what I expected. Her attitude always made me think her home would be…brighter? This is rather club-eqsue. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well she did just move in… Nia didn’t seem to have much commentary to add. I didn’t want to assume she was in a bad mood, but just in case, I figured it would be best to air my feelings. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Sorry if I was being obnoxious about you taking care of yourself earlier. I don’t mean to get on your case. You’re your own person, you can do your own thing. I wrapped my arm around Nia and pulled her closer to me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Must be a downside of being in a long-term relationship while we’re growing up… I remember the Nia living under the thumb of her grandparents; the girl who couldn’t tell her parents anything she wanted. Sometimes I treat you like you’re still that same person… Sorry, maybe the night has made me a little emotional. She leaned her head on my shoulder and exhaled heavily. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, well…you’re not the only one, dummy… My downstairs isn’t the only thing sore right now. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Do you want to talk about it? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah…my jaw is really tired too! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hahaha, got me with that one! …But, well, let me know if you change your mind. Alright? I’m here for you. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Yeah. I hugged her tighter to try and convey my feelings. She matched me and squeezed as tightly as she could. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Either way…I can’t say thank you enough for doing this with me, Nia. You are really, truly, the best girlfriend I could ever imagine. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Don’t act like you were the only one enjoying it…but thanks, I love you too. We sat together like that for a while. It felt like there were so many more things to say, and at the same time it felt like everything went unspoken. So instead we sat, enjoying each other’s company, long enough to start wondering what was taking Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Why don’t I go check on her? See what the hold up is. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sounds good. Make sure she’s doing alright too, if you’re up for it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Course. Now alone, I spread myself over the couch — or as much as I could being the height I am — and let my mind wander as I enjoyed the atmosphere Rina set up for us. [[Rina POV: Balcony]] [[Coming down, going up]]

''Fuck!'' I can’t believe I messed up their first time like that! After talking all that shit too! What if they don’t want to keep going after this? What if they’re mad at me? I didn’t want to end things on this note! Not like I could blame them. Nia’s cervix must be really sensitive, she took it worse than any other girl I’ve had that happen with — maybe that’s why she took the back wall rubbing so well? Pros and cons… Fuck, and Em looked so worried too. He promised Nia I wouldn’t hurt her…''and'' I was the one who said we could keep going if Nia took it easy! Augh, I wanna curl into a ball and die… I really wish we could’ve kept fucking. God, that’s awful. Why am I always so horny? I’m such a moron… Why do those two have to be so hot…? The door opened behind me and I straightened out. Whirling around, I found Nia eying me with curiosity. Great, one of the people I was out here to avoid came to me instead; must’ve worried them by taking so long. I drew a smoke to try and calm down. Not only did its contents take the edge off my anxiety, it made me feel stylish and casual too. Just play it cool and go with the usual flow, things'll be fine. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Aw, you miss me~? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Yeah. What’re you doing out here, stud~? This smartass bitch. She was such an aggressive tease. How was she so good at playing along without being serious? I took another puff and blew it in the wind. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Just got off the phone. Dude had me on hold forever! That was such a bad lie. I finished the call ten minutes ago. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well thanks for the hard work, hehe. She leaned against the railing next to me and looked at the city’s skyline. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mind if I have a drag? Nia smoked? I didn’t take her for the type. Not that I’m one to talk; the whole team would chew me out if they knew I still lit up here and there...Saanvi especially... ... Ugh, whatever, I don't wanna think about that right now. Just focus on Nia. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You sure? This isn’t a normal cig, it’s a spliff. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Even better. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Damn, alright. Pucker up. I stuffed the stick in her mouth and tried not to leer at how glossy her lips were. God, I was getting horny just from that? How old was I? Guess cockblocking yourself will do that, not to mention //how// it happened… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hey…one more time, I’m really sorr- (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Shush, no more “sorry”. You’re already paying for the pizza. I’m over it. Great, now I was annoying her with it. I really needed to suck it up. At this point I was apologizing to make //me// feel better, not her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You smoke? Excellent transition, Rina. Smooth as butter. If only smoking actually made you cool, instead of just looking the part. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, not much anymore. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: No shit? You didn’t even cough though. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Strong lungs. Being a swimmer has its perks, ya know? You’ve seen that first hand~. You’re really killing me here Nia. I guess while we were on the topic… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So, have you been enjoying the night so far? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You make it sound like it’s not over yet. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I hope not. We let the statement hang in the air for a minute. Hopefully that wasn’t too awkward. I really wasn't on my A game tonight... (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You didn’t answer my question, though. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, I guess I didn’t. Yeah. Aside from a couple hiccups, it’s been a great time. Em seems really happy too. I heaved a sigh of relief. Well that’s good. Even if I was getting a lot out of this arrangement, I was doing this as a favor to them. If they weren’t having a good time with everything then I was fucking up royally. Still…if I //was// doing well, I dared to hold a little hope in my heart. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You think you guys wanna keep going? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’d be up for it. Really Em’s call though, I’m just along for the ride. "I'd be up for it, but..." Feels like she says stuff like that a lot... (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Seemed like you were getting a lot out of it too though. She sat on that for a while, looking out into the void of night. Shit...was I not supposed to call attention to that? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, I did…I do, but it’s stuff I could get out of other kinds of sex too. I’m mostly just doing it this way because it turns him on like crazy… Hehe, he’s so cute when he’s like that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, he really is. Nia raised her eyebrows at me with a playful inquisition. Ah crap, that sounded suspect. It’s a good thing she has a sense of humor about these things, I’d just lean into that and play it off. I //really// didn't want to have ''that'' convo... (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But, um, yeah… Yeah, I’d love to keep going if you guys'll have me. I haven’t had nearly enough of you, and I can tell you haven’t had enough of me either~. I slapped her ass and winked at her, which she returned with a thin smirk. Ah fuck, did she look pissed off? She looked kinda pissed off. I shouldn’t have done that. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well, I definitely want some more myself~... She leaned in close, but it made me more uneasy than excited. Her flirty tone held an unusually sinister edge. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …But if you push it too much, I might think you’re getting the wrong idea~. And we can’t play around with someone like that, //capisce//? Oh lord, I //definitely// made her mad…or at least I thought so, but then she suddenly burst into laughter. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Whew, hehe. I gotcha, didn’t I? I nodded nervously. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Chill out Rina, I’m not mad. I know we were flirting around — hell, we were deadass fucking each other just a bit ago — so I don’t blame you for getting ahead of yourself, but all that isn’t permission to handle me however you want. Kay? She shook her head jokingly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I know you have a habit of being handsy with your friends, but there’s a limit. I felt my face go red. Fuck. I was so fucking embarrassed. I couldn’t believe I did that. And everyone said I was “handsy”? What am I, a creepy old man? I covered my eyes with my palm and gave my cig another long huff. Pretty sure that was the closest I was getting to Nia’s lips for the rest of the night… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ugh, didn’t realize that was one of the rumors. I don’t wanna be infamous for something like //that// too…I really need to watch my dumb ass… Nia patted my back and laughed some more. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Relax girl, don't mind people spoutin' bullshit. You’re cool in my book. Everybody fucks up sometimes — just don’t do it again tonight and we’re golden. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah…My bad… She gave my weak response a pitying look, which then morphed into something more catlike. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I really did enjoy our sessions earlier~. You’re a great fuck. It was refreshing~. Dammit Nia, why did you have to pull me right back? Em was right, she really can’t help herself. No wonder they fuck so much, she was revving him twenty-four-seven. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s a really different experience from when Em and I do it. Honestly, it was almost like having my first time all over again hehe...Don't tell Em I said that, by the way. “A really different experience”? “First time all over”? //“Don’t tell him”//? A foreboding — and unpleasantly familiar — mixture of arousal and disgust crawled up my spine. //Don’t//…Don’t overthink it. She didn’t mean it like that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ummm…Nia…W-what? That’s kinda… She must've realized how fucked up that sounded, cause she turned pale and completely dropped the coy act. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh no no no, not like ''that''! She rubbed the back of her head and laughed nervously. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I meant, don't tell him...cause //I’m// going to tell him later. When I'm jerking him off. It's gonna drive him absolutely crazy hehehe. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Damn, you really like foreplay huh? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmm, more like I //really// love servicing my partners. I don’t know why, it just gets me off //super// hard. That was obvious, she was basically drooling just telling me about it. Also couldn’t help but notice she’d said “partners”. Pretty damn sure I was included in that now, in some way at least. I put my hands in my pockets; to keep my hands to myself…and to keep my semi from sticking out too much. I didn’t want to risk making an even bigger fool of myself after spanking her. Nia finished off the last hit of the joint and ground it into the ashtray. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: C’mon, we should get back inside. Em said it was fine if we flirt, but if we mess around for too long I’m gonna start feeling weird about it. It’s about time to get the food anyway. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Just gimme a sec. I’ll be right in. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: If you’re trying to hide the tent you’re pitching, don’t bother. I already saw it, hehe. I watched her ass bounce as she sauntered back through the door frame. …Man, I really needed to nut in her one more time…maybe three. [[Coming down, going up]]

The slide of the balcony door snapped me from my trance. I had been zoning out since Nia left, and fell into a state of half-consciousness. The girls came in, Nia first, followed shortly after by Rina. The former’s mood seemed to have brightened since I saw her last, while the latter shuffled awkwardly as she entered. Did something happen? Rina glanced over at me, but failed to meet my gaze directly. It seemed like something was weighing on her mind. What went on while they were out there? They both smelled like cigarettes and weed, but that wasn’t too strange. Nia smoked when someone else was, so Rina must have had something. What else could it be? Rina’s glued together legs, Nia’s amused expression…her stealing glances at the rigid girl’s crotch… Was she hiding an erection? Were they messing around out there? My pulse kicked into high gear. What had they been doing…? Did they just make out? Groping? …More? We agreed over text that they were free to improvise, but…I felt a little queasy at the idea that they could have done anything without me seeing, without even mentioning it. At the same time, it was like our roleplay from the other day came to life! I said I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it with another person, but I was dead wrong! The depravity of my own sexual interest disturbed me somewhat, but I couldn’t bring myself to care right now. That was a problem for later. I wanted more. As if heeding my call, Rina came up to me with a stiff gait. She was going to put on a smug act and reveal their debauchery, I was sure of it. Instead, she suddenly bowed with her whole upper body. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Em! I’m really sorry! I smacked Nia’s ass while we were talking outside! She raised her head, lip quivering and eyes cast downward. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I don’t want to do anything to make you uncomfortable! I already apologized to Nia, and I understand if you don’t want t- Nia interrupted Rina by elbowing her on the shoulder. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, easy Rina. I don’t think he minds //too// much~. She looked at me for the first time since coming in, and the confusion on her face gave way to shock. I followed her gaze and realized I was rock hard, clear as day through my pants. Well this was embarrassing. I hadn’t realized I was //that// riled up by my fantasy. I swallowed slowly and gave the two a sheepish smile. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Eheh… Well, I still appreciate you telling me, Rina. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Pfftt hahaha, now I’m feelin’ goofy for worrying so much! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t get too comfortable, missy. Em’s dick doesn’t know what’s good for him. I cleared my throat. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: So, how did it go with the food? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Should be ready real soon. …My fantasy from earlier formed into a dark, more actionable design… Should I? Was this a good idea? Now that I had some clarity, this was definitely pushing it. Nia might not say no even if she wants to. Rina might not be comfortable with this. (text-colour:magenta)[//You can trust them, just shut up and do it already!//] (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ...How about I go pick it up? B-by myself. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eh, why? A small, knowing smirk came to Nia’s lips. She quirked her brow, asking if I was really sure that was what I wanted. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well… You guys have had a long day. I figured you could use the time to…relax. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Think you can handle it? We ordered a lotta stuff. It was kind of cute how dense Rina could occasionally be. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, I don’t mind. I was thinking a little bit of fresh air would be nice anyways. Nia’s foxy grin grew wide, splitting her face as she eyed my dick. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Yeah? Was that //all// you were thinking of? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I have no idea what you’re suggesting~. I just want to chip in since you’ve been so great to me tonight. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, gotcha~. That’s very sweet of you~. Rina’s eyes sparkled as she finally picked up what we were implying. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Are you really sure about this, Em? …Getting all that food, I mean. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It might take a bit, but I’m stronger than I look. I’ll manage. I can trust you to keep Nia entertained while I’m gone, right~? Shivers raged through Rina’s body, and she couldn’t help herself from breaking into a wolfish expression to parallel Nia’s. I finished getting ready and walked to the entrance of the apartment. Rina and Nia watched by the entrance hall — right next to each other, their sides sealed as closely together as possible — as I left. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, be back soon~. They giggled and half-waved in unison. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I love you~ See ya soon~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Take your time and walk carefully~. I shut the door and stood there as I heard their muffled laughter. It took all of my power to not stay outside the door and listen in. Tantalizing as the idea was, I argued it was worth getting back as soon as possible. Whatever I came back to would be far, far better. [[Nia POV: A show unseen]] [[Awake]]

(text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, did you see him? My man was sweating like he just ran a marathon. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Yes! I love when he gets like that~! He’s so damn adorable, hehe! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: It’s sweet how smitten you are with him. I really am. I’m not sure I could ever explain to her how important he is to me — I don’t have a way with words like Em does. But you know what? I //am// good with my body language, and if Em wants us to fuck while he’s gone, I’m gonna show Rina just how fluent I am~. I slipped my hand into her sweatpants and began massaging the head of her cock. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Like I told you before…I would do //~anything~// for that man, hehe. I ran my fingers under her foreskin and palmed the top of her glans. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Hoho, alright hot stuff. Two can play that game~. Diving her hand into //my// PJ pants, she intentionally mimicked me. Her fingers traced slowly along the edges of my labia, before spreading them apart and rubbing along the inside edge. She softly explored the shallow depths, gently prying and teasing my folds till I was warmed up. //Fuck me.// I didn’t hate her more competitive approach to sex to begin with, and I definitely couldn’t complain when she was so damn skilled. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: A-aahh~ Oh man, that’s the good shit~. You really know how to push a lady’s buttons~. How’d you know I needed it slow? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I got a //real// good idea of the la-aah~...the layout earlier while I was getting you ready to be //remodeled~//. Rina tried her best to sound commanding as she spoke. It was cute how hard she tried, especially when the things we were saying were so silly. I’ve always appreciated the work she put into her playgirl presentation, even if I didn’t get why she needed to do it. Oh well. Act or not, it was perfect for our roleplay. Her trying to be all mean and dom-y with me was an awesome mood booster, //and// the fresh dynamics were getting me off as a bonus. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oh? By all means, show me all the nooks and crannies you found~. I’d love to see what came of your //thorough// inspection~. A snicker escaped my throat, and Rina laughed along with me. I’m glad she found it funny as well. I’ve always loved bad jokes, so how could I resist my own corny porn dialogue? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Oof. H-happy to help a woman in need~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ahh, my hero hehe. What would I do without you? I rubbed my face against Rina’s thick tricep and gave it a flirty, breathy tongue drag. My co-star’s fingers curled deftly against my g-spot and I moaned into the muscle as it flexed. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Alright, that’s enough foreplay~! Rina’s strong arms grabbed mine and slammed us together. We were front to front now; her huge tits smothering my everything, and her massive cock grinding against me. Lord, she was…hefty. Her size was sexy, and it made the roughplay easier, but there was a lot of Rina to handle. It almost felt like too much, I needed to take control so I didn’t get overwhelmed. I gripped her ass tightly and overtook her grinding with my own. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ah! More! Grab me harder~! Oh yeah, this was so fucking hot! My brain was getting fuzzy; I was totally in full on horny-brain mode now. Em //had// to be loving this as much as us! God, I needed to see his face! I snapped over to bask in his reaction, and I saw…! Nothing… That’s right… He left. He really left us here. Alone. We were really going through with this; I was having sex with Rina, //without// Em watching me… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Aw, why’d ya stop? Your hips get tired //already//, hehe? Reality splashed me with cold water; the burning flame in my belly slowly replaced by an icy stabbing. Em isn’t watching me do this… He didn’t see any of us flirting…he wouldn’t see it. That…didn’t sound right. Why? It wasn't a big deal, I could just tell him. Right? Just had to go through with it. I was so horny just a second ago, there’s nothing stopping me from keeping it up. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uh, Nia? I was fine. I could do this! I was just being sensitive. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, not this time! This and //that// weren’t the same! //This// was what he wanted. This was for his fetish! I wasn’t going to let him down. Rina was face to face with me before I knew it, grabbing my shoulders. She looked worried. What was she doing there? When did we stop? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: $swv? Are you okay? You don’t look so hot. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Huh? Y-yeah, I’m good. Skepticism on her face, Rina pulled away and sat against the wall of the entrance landing. She looked up at me and patted the space beside her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Join me? Not super comfy, but it’s a hell of a lot better than standing there looking like you’re gonna puke. I took a deep breath and plopped down next to her. I really lost it there for a sec… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You wanna talk about it? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m fine, I just… Another sigh forced its way out. I rubbed my forearms. Why did I have goosebumps? It wasn’t cold. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Shit, sorry man. This is really embarrassing. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: It’s all good, Nia. Take your time. Anxiety ate at the back of my mind. I didn’t want to let Rina down, to let Em down… I tried to chase away the feelings with a bad joke. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Not often the girl’s the one in this position, heh… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eh, I mean, situation’s a lil different from usual. I’m also a little more familiar with it than the average woman, I think. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ah, that’s fair. Well, that plan fell flat… We stayed in awkward silence for a while. It wasn’t like we were uncomfortable with each other or anything — at least, I wasn’t with her — I just couldn’t find it in me to clear the air. Eventually, Rina took it upon herself to cut the atmosphere, but in a way I wouldn’t have guessed. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So while we’re waiting, you mind telling me why you started smoking? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Pfft, hehe, you have the most graceful segues, you know that? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ahaha…Yeah, not my strong suit. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s better that way, I usually prefer people be blunt with me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So, where’d the question come from? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I dunno, I’ve just been wondering about it. You didn’t strike me as the type. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah…That’s sorta why I started, actually. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You mean like a statement? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Kinda? See, I used to try really hard to please my family. I tried to be studious, proper, demure, all that rich girl shit. By the time my freshman year of high school came, I was sick of it. I ran with some rougher kids, started picking up their habits, and here we are. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh dang! Little Nia had a bad girl phase, eh? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hahaha, yeah you could say that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I can see it. Did you dress up? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh dude, it was bad. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: What style? Punk? Goth? Scene? I cringed as the details flooded back to me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Augh, don’t make me relive this… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //Please// tell me you have some pics! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Fuck, I probably do have some floating around. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: On your old socials? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heh, nice try. I deleted all my old accounts. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Pssh, that doesn’t mean they’re gone. You //did// put them on the internet. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, Em said the same thing…Oh hold up, I bet he has an old pic of us during that time on his phone. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, did you two meet in that group? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Something like that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I can’t imagine Em’s edgy teen years (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well…his were a little different than mine. You’d have to ask him about that yourself, I don’t think it’s my place to share. She looked at me surprised, but brushed it off with a shrug. I’m glad she didn’t pry too much into my blatant deflecting. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Aight, I’ll do that at some point. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So, feeling any better? Huh. I did, now that she mentioned it. Talking about this time in my life usually put me in a bad mood too. The transition might’ve been a little rough, but she did a pretty smooth job bringing me down. I guess Rina’s popular girl attitude wasn’t all persona. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, I’m actually good this time. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Wanna talk about it now? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It wasn’t anything major. I started to get really into it, then when I remembered Em wasn’t here… I’m not sure how to say it, everything was wrong all of a sudden. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Maybe we got ahead of ourselves? Being real, I was feeling a little weird about it too. You’re super confident in the sack, so I figured things would be fine if I just went with it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I thin- A notification from my phone threw me off. Excitement welled in my stomach when I saw it was from Em; he was letting me know he’d finished picking up the food and was on his way home. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em’ll be back soon. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Thank god. I’m fucking starving. You wanna grab a snack or something while we wait? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well hold on, don’t talk like I’ve given up on us fucking. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hmm? You wanna try again? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yep. I don’t want Em to come home to us all put out like this. Unless you don’t want to? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nah dude I’m down, just didn’t think you were. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I think I’ll feel better knowing Em is coming home. If we time it right he’ll walk in on us doing something extra spicy. Exciting ideas of the different positions we could try came to mind as I fantasized about Em seeing us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, a short break might’ve been in order. You know? The pace we had before was gonna have us cumming before he got back. This feels better to me. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Note to self: Don’t cum before Em gets back or Nia’s mood will be ruined. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, you’re damn right it will. You’re not allowed to cum til I do~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: If we’re going off your current track record, I don't think I need to worry about that. My face went red. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh fuck off! I’m not usually that fast! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah yeah, that’s what they all say. She gave me a smug, self-satisfied grin. Her tryhard attitude //was// charming, and I did like the aggressive sex packaged with it, but this overgrown puppy was being a bit too cocky for me. Even if it was an act. Tonight, she was going to learn the hard way that not only did //I// like being the dom too, but that I’m //better// at it than her. I chuckled to myself; while I was at it, maybe Em could record everything... [[Awake]]

I woke up wedged tightly between Rina and Nia, their arms and legs wrapped around me like a body pillow. It was a little sweaty for my taste, but comforting in a way that made persuading myself to adjust position difficult. I opted instead to stare at the ceiling while collecting my thoughts. Yesterday had really been something special. I hadn’t thought about it then, but I knew now I would remember it for the rest of my life. After picking up the food, I arrived back to see these two viciously going at it in a standing missionary position near the entryway. They had set it up so I got as clean a view as possible upon opening the door. On reflection, they had almost certainly waited to start fucking in earnest — that position was a workout on its own, and they hardly seemed exhausted enough to have been having sex the whole time I was gone — but I didn’t notice amid the turbulent horny energy. The rest of the night descended into pandemonium after that; a wild blur of sex, banter, and pizza, with room for only the briefest of interruptions. I didn’t regret it at all; in fact, it was about as close as I’ve ever gotten to the stereotypical college experience. The night went about as perfectly as it could have except for Nia being hurt. Now that the morning had sobered me from my high somewhat, however, I found formless dread welling uncomfortably in the pit of my stomach. I couldn’t place what its source was, but the emotion was strong enough to stop me from getting up and starting my morning; unease at the thought of leaving them alone in bed together holding me in place. Although intense, I decided it was probably just natural jitters, and hoped they would pass after we all talked. These were the kinds of worries aftercare was for, after all. I just had to ride it out for now, and eventually things would be okay again. Rina shifted and pulled me into a bear hug, which caused Nia to roll over my side. Completely buried between them, the tension carried by my train of thought was thoroughly derailed. It was hard to take myself too seriously while smothered by two pairs of breasts, or with someone’s morning wood stabbing me in the rib cage… [[Morning after]]

(text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You guys’re cool with the Kimchi, right? Sorry I didn’t ask before making it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: S’good. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No complaints from me either. Thanks for the food! We sat around the small dining table situated in the corner of Rina’s living room, eating and sipping our morning coffee. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’ve never actually had this dish before, so this is another new experience I can thank you for. Rina brushed her hair behind her ear and chuckled. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Pssh. C’mon, it’s nothing special. Kimchi eggs and some toast aren’t exactly rare in homes like mine. Had she meant for Koreans living in the Americas, or was she referring to Korean college students? I supposed the exact meaning was mostly irrelevant, whatever the case. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: The novelty of it doesn’t actually matter that much to me, I appreciate that you made it for us — not to mention you bought both of our meals last night. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mmhmm. Nia shot our host a thumbs up while her mouth was full. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nah dude, It’s the least I could do all things considered. I’m happy you’re happy. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Speaking of, you doing alright Nia? You’ve been kinda quiet. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah she’s fine, just doesn’t do well in the mornings. She’ll perk up after the coffee’s in her veins. My love once again gave us a thumbs up, and continued blearily eating her food. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That’s a relief, I was worried she was super sore. Funny though, I always pictured her as a morning person. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nope, she’s always been terrible in the mornings haha. Although since you mentioned it, can we borrow that ointment you have? If it’s not too much trouble. Nia shot me a defiant middle finger. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheh yeah dude, no trouble at all. We ate quietly after that, picking at our plates and sipping caffeinated lifeblood. I enjoyed these moments. It felt “home-y”, for lack of a better word. Rina and Nia were rather…animated people when it came to conversation, so times like these felt special. More personal. A familiar feeling reared its head, however, as Rina suddenly cleared her throat and motioned to begin speaking again. She had done this at dinner last night as well. It wasn’t as if this was strange behavior on its own, but the fact that she seemed to pick the soonest possible moment… I wondered if she found a lack of conversation unpleasant. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You two have any plans for today? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’ve got one class that starts at four-thirty, but other than that? Not really. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eugh, on the weekends? Reminds me of my years in prep school. Guess there’s a reason why you’re in the top one percent. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It’s not too bad. I had way more work in third year. She grimaced at that, then looked at her phone. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well it’s only noon, so you’ve got time. You guys are more than welcome to hang here til you get going. Nia abruptly downed her coffee and raised a finger in the air, signaling us the wait. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: We gotta talk about last night and what we’re doing going forward. Since we’re on a time limit and we don’t know how long that’s gonna take, we should start ASAP. That was true. In the peaceful morning climate it had slipped my mind that we were having conventionally disturbing fetish sex into the early hours of the day. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haha, totally forgot about that. Prolly a good idea, yeah. Don’t want anyone in bad spirits for the rest of the day. She stretched in her seat, before snatching our dishes away and moving to the kitchen. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I’ll take care of these and make some more coffee. You go get cozy on the couch, or wherever ya wanna do the deed. [[Baring scars]]

Rina joined us in the lounge with a relatively somber look on her face. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Gotta admit, it’s impressive how diligent you guys are about the aftercare. I wasn’t ever this anal about it with my partners. She set down our mugs and sat across from us in her chair. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Not like I don’t think it’s important. I just…I dunno, felt like I was built different? Not very considerate to the people I was with though, eh? Maybe that’s why you guys’re almost on year seven and I’m single, haha… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …How about you kick us off again? You seem like you need it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You sure? Yesterday was a big day for you guys, I don’t wanna go too long and dominate the conversation. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Of course, the length doesn’t matter. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Pun intended? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hah. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ha ha, wouldn’t saying that reflect poorly on me in this comparison? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Would you hate that~? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Hmmm… I hadn’t considered that before for our roleplay. I’d seen it in porn, but it didn’t usually appeal to me much. The idea wasn’t //wholly// uninviting though, even if I wasn’t necessarily sold on it. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Maybe not? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Pfft, hahaha, you’re the freakiest couple I know! Can’t believe I thought you were vanilla. Rina exhaled heavily following her laughter. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …On that note though, I think I know a good place to start. The air around her became more serious and straight. She seemed to have stiffened up, struggling to get comfortable as she shifted in her chair. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I don’t mean to put ya on the spot here Nia, but…do you get off a little from being treated like a sex toy? Like, being objectified? A surprised blush crossed Nia’s face. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Eheh, was I that obvious? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Kinda? I wasn’t one hundred on it, but I’ve been with a couple people who’re into similar stuff and you reminded me of them. It’s just…the way you’re always focusing on Em’s pleasure and him watching you, like you’re his entertainment. And the way you’re cool with me manhandling you while we fuck? Seemed like you got off on all of it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah ya caught me, guilty as charged. I don’t usually view it like I’m an object though. I’ve always got the vibe that being an “object” implies I don’t like being in control, but that’s //absolutely// not true~. I feel powerful doing what I do; it’s like I’m a living, breathing porno! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, my bad. Didn’t mean to get riled up. Why’d you ask? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You’re good. Before I answer that… Em, do you feel the same as Nia? About her being treated that way? The way you reacted when I said Nia was…“made for my dick” last night makes me think you do, but I want to hear it from you. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I don’t know if I’ve ever articulated it quite like that. Personally, I’ve always seen it more as her really getting into the role of her putting on a show for me. When you two put it the ways you have though… I guess so? At least, sometimes. I like that Nia likes it, and I thought what you said was sexy, but that’s not something I’m pining after. It’s just a fun addition, I think. Am I making any sense here? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: No yeah dude, for sure. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But back to your question Nia, I brought this up for two reasons. I wanted to apologize to you, and also I wanted to um, make how I feel about that kinda thing understood. She shifted uncomfortably again. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I think I assumed you were okay with me slapping your ass last night because of your fetish, and that wasn’t cool of me. I know I know, I already said sorry about it — hell, Em even got a boner over it — but I still don’t think that was right. I didn’t even really understand what you think is sexy about it, I was being ignorant. Even then, just cause you think that kind of thing is hot when fucking doesn’t mean you want it outside of that… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Which sorta brings me to the next point, which is that I’ve…got some baggage with that stuff. Objectifying, I mean; both doing it to others, and having it done to me. She took a deep breath before continuing. Her skin was pale and clammy, in stark contrast to its normally honeyed color. I don’t think I’d ever seen Rina so timid before. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sorry, um, last time we did this it didn’t get so…personal…on my end. Like I said, never really do this kinda thing… Anyway, I’m not like, totally opposed to this as roleplay or whatever. I have some, um…''bad'' experiences with being…treated that way. Heavy weight filled the atmosphere as the unclear, but unmistakably ominous implications of what she said set in. Had she been referring to people who treated her poorly after finding out she had both sets of genitalia? Was she implying something far worse? Whatever it was, we took it pensively. Nia and I shared a guilty look, distressed we had potentially agitated something very, very sensitive for Rina. Nia put a hand on Rina’s arm and gave her a squeeze. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Rina…If you have some kind of trauma with this kink, then please don’t force yourself just because we like it. //Please// don’t. We have so many other things we can do. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You enjoying this is just as important. We don’t even need to talk about it if you don’t want to. Please don’t hurt yourself over this. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That’s the thing though. I…kinda do like doing it. I liked treating Nia like that, and I, in some strange way, like being treated like that myself. Not the exact same, but similar. But after it’s over, I always feel sick to my stomach. I have negative thoughts. It’s just that… She cleared her throat and adjusted her position once again. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Without getting into the weeds, I think you’re the only people I’ve ever been with who haven’t been…weird about my…body. About the fact that I’ve got some things…most people don’t expect a woman to have, not to mention my //size//… In some way or another, everyone else’s treated me different after sex… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Sorry, this has been one really long rambling sesh. I dunno why I’m dumping all this on you guys. I just meant I feel complicated about this. So I’m sorry for acting uncool before, and I’m sorry if I do anything stupid down the line. I’ll try to read the room better, just don’t be afraid to put me in my place again if I fuck up. Oh Rina… Nia and I knew what needed to be done. We nodded at each other, then abruptly came in close to our solemn friend before jumping onto her chair and forming a suffocating group hug. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re not “dumping” anything on us, dude. Don’t be silly. Talking like this is the whole friggin reason we do it! We want to hear about this stuff if you’re willing to spill it with us. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Exactly. You didn’t do anything wrong, Rina. Sure, you made a mistake, but you tried to rectify it immediately. Even when you didn’t have to. You don’t have some lower “place” to “be put into”. You’ve been a great partner for us so far, and we’re incredibly grateful you agreed to take part in our perverted project. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: And of course we’d still treat you the same. You’re one of our best friends! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah dude, the people who did you dirty were being huge fucking assholes. You’re Rina to us, no matter what. I straightened out and locked eyes with her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I don’t want to assume too much about your circumstances, but we’re always open to talk if you need. And as far as guilty pleasures go, you’re not the only one. Like we said last session, it took a long time for Nia and I to get comfortable with this fetish. It was hard work, and continues to be. We still need to talk about it every so often even after a year, now more than ever since you’ve joined us. Tightening my stomach, I resolved to further demonstrate that she wasn’t alone. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: In fact, I was feeling sick when I woke up this morning. Worried we’d made some kind of mistake. I couldn’t even bring myself to get out of bed... As childish as it sounds saying it outloud, I was afraid of leaving you and Nia alone. She and Nia looked at me in alarm, clearly ready to drop the conversation so they could reassure me against whatever misunderstanding they believed caused that feeling. I held up my palm and shook my head flatly. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I trust you two. I know I didn’t have any reason to worry. I don’t know why I felt like that, but I did; even after I liked it so much. And that’s okay. It’s okay to have those feelings, because I can work through them here with everyone. And you can too Rina, for as much as you feel safe sharing. Rina stayed silent for a moment, then returned our passive group hug with full force — the pressure of which filled my lizard brain with momentary panic. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Thanks. I really mean it. I don’t deserve the kindness, but if you’re giving it to me then…I ain’t gonna argue with you about it. She buried her face between our chests. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, you’re gonna have to deal with us being here with you! Sorry, not sorry hehe! Nia turned my way and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: And you too, mister. Don’t just bottle that stuff up. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t worry, I always knew. I love you too. [[Important decisions]]

The rest of the aftercare went more quickly than anticipated, but was productive nonetheless. The majority of my concerns were cleared upon voicing the unease I felt this morning; I believe it also tied in with Rina opening up to us more about her vulnerability. Exposing herself like that appeared to be difficult for her, so her confiding in us as she did left me with a solidified sense of security and relief. Nia had more to say than me, but again, less than I would have thought given the circumstances. Perhaps it was the small talk we shared while Rina was on the balcony, or maybe Rina and I’s honesty with our insecurities put her mind at ease as well. Her primary concern was to make sure I hadn’t misconstrued her enthusiasm yesterday, particularly in the bathroom, as anything other than the frenetic sexual energy of her enjoying our roleplay after nearly a week of wind up. She emphasized that she meant no offense by that to Rina, and that while she did find our partner very attractive, that was not a major motivation for her at any point. Her second concern was minor to me, but she felt like it was very important. She came fast and often last night; a lot more than our usual. Because of that, she got it in her head that I was worried she was having comparatively better sex with Rina. She wanted to make sure I knew that she didn’t physically enjoy Rina more, and that the combination of the roleplay and a new type of pleasure had left her overwhelmed. I reassured her I only had positive feelings about her cumming so much, and that she didn’t have anything to be afraid of; I’d already assumed her given reasons were the case. Even if she //did// like sex with Rina more, I’m honestly not sure it would bother me — but perhaps that was a momentary overconfidence talking in my stead. Her third concern was a perceived lack of attentiveness. She was worried that she hadn’t given me enough attention during the play sessions, citing her lack of direct touching — she understandably did not count the friction of her back on my penis — or teasing me throughout most of the night’s escapades. She expressed that was why she had been so desperate to give me that prolonged blowjob. She craved some kind of servicing touch to show me she still cared. I understood where she was coming from, and truly appreciated the sentiment, but took issue with blaming herself for how her focus was directed; given the circumstances, it was hardly her fault. I argued last night, in her own words, had been an overwhelming experience. With so much on her plate to acclimate to, there simply wasn’t room for her to act as usual. Frankly, her conduct hadn’t bothered me at all; even still, I wanted to cater to her needs. We compromised eventually, promising to make sure we were more aware of it in the future. Rina swore to help facilitate if need be, which further alleviated Nia. Finally, we all agreed that we might have been impulsive with Rina and Nia having sex by themselves. I was correct in my assumption that they had waited, it seemed. They informed me they’d actually felt rather strained after I left; how, despite their best efforts, it took time for them to find the resolve needed to do the deed. That said, it wasn't something any of us were opposed to altogether; we just wanted everyone to be more involved and present in the affair for the time being. Eventually the conversation began to taper off, and we naturally wandered to other risqué topics. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So you guys legit like when I get all aggro and egg you on? I was worried I was being cringe. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah man, it's cute when you act like that. It's like watching a puppy get carried away cause they're so excited, hehe. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …A puppy, huh? Rina covered her eyes with her hand at that, and looked away embarrassed. I didn't see exactly what Nia meant by that. Rina’s general attitude did remind me of a hyperactive dog, but from my perspective she came across as rather fierce in the bedroom. As a more submissive person though, my perception was very biased. Perhaps, as a more dominant person in bed herself, Nia saw something in Rina I couldn't. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah! It’s just a turn on to see you get so into it. It’s like when Em gets all beg-y with me sometimes. It’s soooo...Mmmm~! Makes me wanna squish ya! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheheh fair enough, better to be a cringe little dog than a dead fish I guess. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh my god yes, ew! I hate the idea of fucking someone who doesn’t care! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That does sound like it would be really disheartening. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well no worries, I promise to never do that to you guys! Rina narrowed her eyes and tilted her head in thought. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well actually, we’re kinda getting ahead of ourselves with all this preference talk huh? We haven’t actually, like, sealed the deal on if we want this to be a thing we do on the reg. Nia and I blinked at that. She was right, we hadn’t made that decision yet. We looked at each other puzzled. Did we want to keep going at this pace? There was no question we were having fun, but with the adrenaline out of our systems we could acknowledge it’s not something we //needed// to become a part of our daily lives. We could set this up as a monthly thing. Maybe even bi-monthly? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well now’s as good a time as any, right? We still have some time until we need to head out, so why don’t we have the chat? Silence descended as we considered what we wanted to do. Rina was the first to break it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Not like my opinion holds much weight here, but just so you guys know, I’m happy with whatever you decide. We can just be friends after this and never fuck again, or we can do this every day til we die — exaggerating, obviously, but you get me. I don’t care, I’m grateful you guys included me in the special occasion at all. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmmm, I think I feel the same as before. If you wanna keep going hun, then I’m down, but if you have other plans then I’ll follow your lead. Your fetish, your rules. What did I want to do…? [[Let’s keep going!]] [[Let’s not make this a regular thing]]

(text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I want to keep doing this regularly! The answer came from my mouth before I properly considered its implications. Despite that, I didn’t think it would be a problem. Nia and I talked about this in depth for a long time, and I trusted both her and Rina with my life. As long as we were responsible and didn’t let the play dominate our daily lives, there wasn’t anything to worry about. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mmmkay sweetie, that’s fine by me. How regularly were you thinking? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Once every week or so? It doesn’t have to be some grand event like today, we can make it more or less casual as we feel things out. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Man, I’d hope so! If we do it like this every week then I might as well stop going to the gym! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oof, tell me about it. Also I don’t think my insides could take the abuse. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: But of course, we need to be considerate of everyone’s needs. We’re all busy right now, and I want to make sure Nia and I keep spending time together as a couple. She didn’t quit the swim team so she could have sex all day at my behest; that would be super selfish of me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe hey now, you make it sound like you’re pimping out your bottom bitch. I’m not a slut on-demand, I’m just acting like one. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh yeah? You’re a real thespian in that case. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Damn right I am! And proud of it! We all got a good laugh out of that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Okay, but joking aside, what are we all thinking? If we’re all swamped with work and we’re doing this thing every week, then we’re gonna have some kind of plan right? Preferences we’re catering to, roleplays we’re tackling, and so on? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: True. This is a very broad fetish, so we have a lot of freedom in how we want to apply it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: It does seem that way. From an outsider’s view, it’s honestly a little hard to guess what you want (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, I struggle with that too. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Really? You guys seemed to really have a handle on my likes. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, no cutie. That’s just in the moment, not the longer term. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah exactly. Your face makes it really obvious when you’re excited, so we can just go off that. For long term planning we can’t just guess like that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well how about some reference materials? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Like porn? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, or maybe chat sites and forums? There are communities where you can discuss this fetish, your ideas, and roleplay with strangers. I haven’t used them much myself, but from what I’ve gathered that would be a good place to start. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That sounds like a good plan, but isn’t using porn and talking to strangers a little sketch? We might get some bad ideas. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Why don’t we all look at this stuff together? We can vet the ideas and talk about them, like a sort of sex pre-game. Or a rehearsal, sticking to your theater theme. If there’s anything Em is against or has complicated feelings about, he can clarify for us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmmm, okay! That works for me! I’d feel more comfortable if we had a process of elimination. Rina certainly made a convincing proposition…something was missing though. Maybe it was because we were doing this every week, or maybe it was because I was so confident in Nia’s faithfulness, but I craved an additional element. Surprise? Mystery? Lack of control? I was unsure. Of course I didn’t want to be unfair, either. They both seemed very happy with this method. I just hoped to find a way we could inject some extra spice. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I like the idea, but could we change the formatting a bit? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What were you thinkin’? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Would it be alright if you two have the meetings together first, then, after you’ve come up with the basic plan, you can run the synopsis by me? I think an audience enjoys a performance best when they only have a vague idea of what’s going to happen. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, it is enticing when you put it that way. You being less involved does make me a little uneasy, though. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Why don’t we go ahead and try Em's way, then, if it's not vibing with us for whatever reason, we can do it the original way? That seemed like a good middle ground. We all agreed, with the stipulation that I be there with them the first time to go through all the basics of the process as a team. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: So, with that out of the way, and our time running short, do we have any thoughts on a general direction? This was the big question we’d yet to tackle. The rest could only come after we decided. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I hate to repeat myself, but in my opinion the choice is yours dude. If I don’t wanna do it, I’ll say so. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah same. My only request is what we already talked about: I want you to be present and involved for now. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, let me think… What did I want to do? What we’re doing right now has been great, and I’m sure if we kept this up we would have an amazing time. On the other hand, I really enjoy it when the girls tease me. Nia and I have had some very spicy roleplays over the year that would be amazing if we recreated them with Rina. Could I maybe convince them to do that? Somewhere deeper inside, a dark portion of me craved to forgo any outline all together. Couldn’t we just run wild with our instincts? (text-colour:magenta)[//Surely you had enough rules already, right?//] [[Let’s keep going and see how we feel]] [[Let's spice things up]] [[Actually, why do we need a direction at all?]]

Even though this has been an amazing experience, was it something I wanted to be frequent? While I was less concerned about it straining our relationship than before, it was still possible making that choice would upend a lot of our schedule. I couldn’t lie to myself and say the trade-off wasn’t appealing, it was just that part of me questioned if that was truly a good idea. I did enjoy spending time with Rina, but I still wanted to spend the majority of my time with Nia. She just quit the swimming team for that reason, after all. Although we had both agreed to this plan, it wasn’t as if we set out to make this a regular thing. We had initially set out to do this so we could spice things up, and I felt like we’d achieved that. Frankly, more so than I’d expected; I could masturbate to the memories of this week alone for the next year and be happy with that. It wasn’t as if I didn’t want more, though. There was a greedy voice in the back of my head screaming of all the possibilities we’ve yet to explore, and I couldn’t disagree with it. But I wanted to explore this at a more even, slower pace than we’ve been doing up to now. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I don’t want to stop doing this, but I think I want to make it occasional. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mmmkay sweetie, that’s fine by me. How occasional are you thinking? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Once every month or two? We got into this to kill some stress after all, so I don’t see why we can’t have it be a special event. Like when we go to the massage parlor. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh? I’ve been upgraded from sexfriend to sexual masseuse? You gonna start paying me for the hard work? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re pretty good with deep tissue~, so maybe you have a point. But I’m getting a refund if you hurt me again! We all got a good laugh out of that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Joking aside though, that sounds good to me. Being honest with myself, I should probably be focusing on straightening my life out. Switching my major, moving, working two jobs…I’m kinda fucking swamped if I think about it, hehe. I doubt you guys are swimming in free time yourself. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Actually it was the swimming in my free time that was keeping me busy hahaha! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hah, good one hun. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It comes naturally. Nia shrugged in false modesty and smiled with confidence. Rina smirked as she watched us, rolling her eyes at the cheesy display. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Now that we’ve decided what we’re doing for the foreseeable future, should we decide on any specific preferences? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: If we’re just gonna do it every month or so, why don’t we just stick to what we’re doing? It’s not like we’re gonna get bored after all. We can play it by ear if a certain mood strikes us. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: A fair point my love. If anything really sounds exciting to us, then we can run it by the group chat. Otherwise, we can use these meet ups as an excuse to unwind and let out some pent up sexual energy. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh man, you wanna talk about pent up. I’m gonna be dying for these sessions by the time they come around haha. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t worry, we’ll make sure they’re worth the wait~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh I don’t doubt it. You guys were freaky enough to run this deal by me in the first place, remember? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: How could I forget? I don’t think I’ve ever been so embarrassed! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I was so anxious! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Furreal man, me too. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Hey, can I make one small request though? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Shoot. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What’s up? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …We can still hang normally, right? Even when it has nothing to do with this? That was unexpected. She had asked rather solemnly, was she concerned we wouldn’t hang out with her if we didn’t have a reason? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Girl what? Do you even have to ask? Course we will! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We wanted to do this with you because you’re our friend. You’re not our friend because you’re doing this with us. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I know, it’s just…You know, people catch up, say they wanna hang out, but then everyone is too busy. Plans end up falling through, texts become less frequent. Nobody means anything by it, we just get busy, but… Before you know it, you only see them at the store, maybe in class, briefly small talking about a bunch of shallow crap and what-ifs that you both know won’t happen… This drew a heavy sigh from Nia. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oof, Rina, too real. I feel called out, hehe. I’ve done that with too many girls from the swim team, and I worry it’ll just get harder to stay in contact as we get older… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, adult life is hard sometimes… Oh man, that was a little depressing to think about. I didn’t want to fall out of contact with Rina until she’s basically a stranger, all because we weren’t having sex regularly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: But you know what? We don’t have to let things go down like that if we don’t want them to. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, there’s no way we’re letting that happen. Right, Rina? She paused and looked at us contemplatively, then beamed brightly. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Too true! No take backs though, so you guys better not regret that hehehe. I’m gonna blow your phones the fuck up with work rants. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You promise? Em hates talking shit about his coworkers, so I’d love to spill some tea with you! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yep. Nia does the same thing, so you’ll be in good company. I don’t like to do it myself, but I love reading them, so don’t be afraid to share. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hell yeah. I’m looking forward to it. We continued on like that for the remainder of the time I had before class; chit-chatting about all the different activities — sexual or otherwise — that we were looking forward to doing together. I was happy with how things turned out. Down the line we could make our swinging a more regular thing if we wanted, but even if we didn’t, I was happy we got closer to Rina. Having another close friend we could count on was just as fulfilling in its own way. Hopefully we could be together for many years to come.

[[Summary and characters (contains minor spoilers)|Character profiles]] [[Disclaimers and info]]

Let’s not get too greedy. Things have been going very well so far, and I didn’t want to potentially spoil it by pushing past where everyone was comfortable. Besides, we would always have opportunities to try out different options in the future. As we’re still getting used to everything it may be best to just ride the wave and see where it takes us. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I think we can keep going as we are right now. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sounds good to me! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ditto! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m not exactly sure “what we’re doing right now” entails in the finer details, but, like we said, we’ll work that out later. For now, we can just establish some basic ground rules and relax before calling it a day. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, let’s not stress too much on stuff. We’re doing this to have fun, after all! Nia bounced a little in her spot and squeezed my hand. She seemed pretty thrilled by this outcome. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Okay, so what first? We already agreed Em needs to be more “involved and present” for the time being, and, like I said, I’ll make sure to help on that front. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That’s really the only big one for me. I’m gucci otherwise (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hmmm… Was there anything that I thought needed to be said…? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, I have one specifically for my tastes. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh boy, you adding in some other crazy fetish I don’t know about yet? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hahaha, no, nothing like that. It ties into what I was getting on Nia’s case for last night. I want everyone to take care of themselves, but I don’t want to be the mother hen of our little trio either. We’re all adults here and we can define our own limits without asking each other’s permission constantly. My only request is that we keep everyone informed, okay? I don’t want us hiding anything about how we feel. Rina and Nia both shifted a bit at this — the former’s eyes shifting away, and the latter crossing and uncrossing her legs. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Look, I don’t mean in the literal sense. We obviously don’t need to tell each other //everything//. Everybody has their secrets and boundaries, of course, but please speak up if you do or don’t want to do something. If there’s an issue that causes trouble for you when it comes up the first time, holding your tongue on it will only cause more trouble down the line. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Yeah, that’s fair. As I said earlier, I’m a little, uh, stiff, when it comes to sharing my feelings, but I’ll try my best. Nia sighed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re not alone here, sister. I need to get better about this too. Like Em said, I have a habit of holding my tongue too much. Rina and Nia locked eyes and clasped their hands in an exaggerated display of teamwork. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: We’ll get through this together, “sis”. For your pervert of a boyfriend! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, amen to that! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey now…I’m not //that// bad. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I dunno dude, haha, this situation isn’t exactly your standard affair. The emphasis is on //affair// here. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, true! He doesn’t realize how twisted his tastes are. But that’s okay with me, that’s part of what makes him so cute~. I huffed and crossed my arms. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Talk smack all you want, you two aren’t any better. I might’ve been delirious by that point, but I could hardly forget the way you acted while you were amazon slamming Rina into the bed, Nia. Not to mention the kinds of sounds //you// were making during, Rina! Rina blushed brightly and groaned a bit at the memory of their competitive spat late into the night; Nia, meanwhile, smiled and wagged her eyebrows at her victim. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heheh, maybe you have a point my love. I don’t think it was undeserved, though. Apparently Nia had thought Rina was getting a little too comfortable in the dom role, what with the snarky attitude and ass slapping, and decided she would show Rina how it was really done. My memory of Nia gripping the much larger girl’s ankles and hoisting them up into the air was still picture perfect; the welcome image burned into my brain for the foreseeable future. Nia laughed again and grabbed the now crimson Rina, holding her captive against her breasts. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: There there sweetie, don’t feel too sore about it. You’re not the first partner to think they had a leg up on me and fail like that, hehehe~. The marks aren’t still there, I hope? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I’m not feeling sore! And no, th-they were gone by the time I woke up! Her attempt to take a more serious tone fell relatively flat as she was being cradled in Nia’s bosom. She pulled away and fixed the loose strands of hair that were made a mess by the action. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: A-anyways, we need to focus. Don’t you guys have to get going soon? This drew a groan from me. Unfortunately, she was right. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sadly. I’d love to stay and chat longer, but I need to stop by my place to grab a few things. I have a date with the history of pedagogy through the eighteenth century, and I’d hate to come unprepared! They shared a flat look at my scholastic glee. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ohhh gosh, definitely don’t wanna keep you from //that// hun. It sounds soooo exciting. Nia spoke in a deadpan sarcasm. Rina giggled and finally finished wrangling a loose strand of hair that was giving her trouble. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh yeah, can’t miss that one. Sounds real //captivating//. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ha ha, alright alright. So anything else before we depart? We all sat for a moment and considered briefly, before Rina spoke up. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Since Nia and I were both a little wary about doing it alone last night, and we want everyone to be involved, let’s practice by getting saucy in the group chat. It’s a good tool for keeping up the communication, like you want, Em, and for keeping everyone involved in some way, like you want, Nia. I think using it regularly will help us get used to all of this. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~A few good nudes here and there might get us in the headspace, if you feel me~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, that does sound fun~. Rina leaned over us. To my surprise, she placed one hand on each of our inner thighs instead of just Nia’s. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Riiight~? I think it’ll get us //a lot// closer~. She closed in on me further, our faces almost touching. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You too, Em. I know guys can be a lil self-conscious about this kinda stuff, but we’re all in the group chat~. So don’t be a stranger, alright cutie~? I blanked — and couldn’t help but notice we got a bit of a side-eye from Nia during — but quickly gave my thumbs up. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Y-yeah, no problem. Upon my answer, Rina jolted up and stretched. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Alrighty! And with that, we’re probably overdue to call it. We got up and joined in. We’d gotten surprisingly tense over the course of the afternoon. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Good thinking, better to leave now while I still have some time. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Here, let me grab you guys some of the leftovers for the road and I’ll see you out. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Girl you paid for it, you don’t need to share all the leftovers. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Please, it’s just me here. If you leave me with all this food then it’s just going to go bad. Judging from the lack of options in her refrigerator last night, that likely was not the case. Still, it wasn’t worth arguing; her dietary choices weren’t our business as long as they weren’t overtly harmful. The reason could be as simple as her having other meal plans tonight. It wasn’t good to assume anything too complicated. In any case, we accepted her offer with grace, shared some warm goodbye hugs, and began our late start to the day. [[Walking together]]

I didn’t want to get too carried away…but it couldn’t hurt to push the envelope //slightly//. Nia also enjoys this genre of roleplay, so there shouldn't be an issue provided I kept her boundaries in mind. Rina I was overall less confident about, but she seemed more or less enthusiastic whenever this came up. If we were all on roughly the same page when it came up incidentally, then prolonging the play didn’t seem out of pocket. And they //did// leave it up to me ultimately, so… This was probably a reasonable ask, right? Nothing ventured, nothing gained, Emery. Don’t let the nerves get the best of you here. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …How would you two feel about going a little…//further// than what we’re doing right now? The girls looked at me with varying flavors of curiosity. Rina’s was what I’d call eager; clearly unsure of what I meant with my vague statement, but more than willing to find out. Nia, by contrast, kept quiet despite the knowing, almost condescending smirk she nursed — as if she was less curious about my desires themselves and more of how I would pitch them. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, I mean, I’m not against taking this to the next level. I’m not a hundred percent sure what you mean though, so… Rina left a pregnant pause in her wake, signaling me to continue. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well I was thinking we could, I don't know, maybe lean into the…//verbal// play more? We could have a little more banter…maybe you could um, tease me and push me around a little more, etcetera. I mean, //you guys// seem to like that a lot, and I definitely get a kick out of it too. So I just figured…if we’re all fans, then why beat around the bush? Let’s…have it be more of the focus… Realization dawned on Rina the further along my meandering explanation got, a coy sexual interest developing in place of the more innocent curiosity she’d held prior. That familiar awkward grin etched itself onto her face as she processed my proposal. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I-I think I get what you’re saying. Heheh, //I’m// not opposed to going that route…iffff you two aren’t, of course. Nia joined in, her smirk having now morphed into a full, foxy smile. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmmmm, I dunno~. I’m not sure if we really get what you mean though, Em. You’re bein’ kinda vague, so it’s hard to be sure. Can you give us a couple examples? //Please//~? I flushed at Nia’s act, flustered that she’d so quickly — so completely and effortlessly — determined the best way to toy with me. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Oh! Oh~. I guess you have a point, Nia~. Gotta clear up any gray areas if we’re gonna be doing it a lot, hehe. It was hard to not grin at their antics, even through my mounting embarrassment. As always, Nia couldn’t help herself when she had the upper hand. Not that I didn’t appreciate it. In fact, given I was noticeably hesitant, she may have also been trying to help ease me into this. And Rina slowly keying in on Nia’s angle and dutifully following was endearing. Maybe that was what Nia meant when she’d described the otherwise intimidating athlete as a puppy? Collecting my errant thoughts, I took a deep breath and allowed myself to submit to the situation. Instead of getting mired in apprehension, their tactical pressure would be exactly how I push past my own limits. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yes…so…a couple examples. The first being that aggressive attitude of yours we mentioned, Rina. The girl in question stiffened as she became the focus of the conversation. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I know Nia said she thinks it’s charming and cute, and I know you said you were worried about being “cringe”, but — like I said before — it’s intense for me. It makes the experience…more. I’m not exactly sure how to articulate the details right now, but… Let me put it this way: ever since our very first session, when you matched Nia’s energy and revved her up the way you did, I knew I needed more of that. Rina’s face burned visibly as I spoke — I sympathized, mine was feeling much the same at the moment. But it’s not like it was going to get any less blush inducing from here on out. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Eheheh, anyway. Secondly, and this almost goes without saying I think, but I’m pretty submissive in bed…- (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh damn, really? She cut in before swallowing thickly, attempting to drown the sexual tension in irony. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That’s news to me, h-heh. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Riiight~? With how //subtle// he is it’s hard to tell. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright alright, haha. Sheathe the sarcastic jabs, that wasn’t //all// of my second point. Give me a second to finish working up to it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, go ahead hun. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah my bad, please keep going Em. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No big, this is a rather apt example, actually. My second point was that I really just enjoy when you two, for lack of a better term, gang up on me. I like the teasing, the excitement that comes with you prodding and pressuring my weak points. I want you both to do more of that. That’s what I meant. Nia bit her lip at my admission, the dam breaking as her giddiness began to overwhelm her composure. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh? I see~. So my little cutie wants us to bully him //even more~?// The fake surprise in Nia’s voice was beyond evident, her question tailored to twist the knife rather than clarify. She’d been baiting me to say this for the entire conversation’s duration. Her happiness stoked the now raging fire in my brain, leaving any retort I could’ve mustered dead from the heat. So I abandoned the notion of trying, settling instead on a simple shy nod of confirmation. This, ironically, might have been the most effective response I could have given, causing Nia to laugh excitedly and Rina’s blush to intensify. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Wow! You're such a perv, Em~. I took a couple deep breaths, desperately struggling against my hormones in an effort to cool down. We were getting a little too deep into this. Part of me was screaming to lean into it further — lord was that tempting, given Nia’s attitude — but I still had class to contend with. Were it anything else I would have put it on hold. Maybe…augh, no, we’re too early in the semester for me to be so impulsive. Unfortunately, there are things in life too important to put off. Resigning to fate, I shook myself off; hoping the effort would wrench me free of this horny stupor. When that itself proved an insufficient memo for my body, I cleared my throat and moved to more actively dispel the overly sultry mood. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, so… Pulling back for a moment, I’m glad you’re both onboard with the idea. A part of me was worried this proposition was inconsiderate given everything we’d discussed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, chill my little worry-wart. You know I appreciate the concern, but no, I don’t think you’re being selfish. We left it up to you, and you said what you wanted. You know I woulda been more upset if you’d tried to lie and keep this to yourself. Nia ran her finger along my back as she spoke, the light sensation eliciting a shiver from me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: And, like, not //just// because I want you to be honest with me. You //know// how much I love to tease ya, Em. Obvs I’d be down with this idea! I couldn’t argue with that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //And y’know//, if you think about it, this seems super fitting actually. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: How so? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well Nia wants you to be more involved right now, right? Doesn’t you being the focus of our teasing sorta match that? Could be the perfect way to satisfy what she wants while upping the ante. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ohhh, true! I really like putting it that way! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You know Rina, that’s actually a very good point. I hadn’t really considered it like that. I guess there was more merit to my plan than I’d expected! Nia ribbed me in amusement, tittering like a child doing something she shouldn’t. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: “Than you expected”? You make it sound like you were just BSing all your reasons, hehehe. Sure was nice of Rina to hand you a convenient justification like that then, huh Em? Rina put her arm around me as she joined in. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hehe, no need to thank me! Hoo boy, I was gonna have to get used to a lot of this now…wasn’t I? [[With the stage now set]]

(align:"<==>")+(box:"===XXXXX==")+(text-style:"bold","underline")[''WIP''] (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: This choice seems pretty extreme. I might be getting ahead of myself here... At the same time, does that //really// bother me? A litle risk might be fun~! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I don't even get a picture? How fitting...

Nia and I slowly walked to my apartment, hands locked and swinging languidly between us. Even for a Sunday afternoon, it was quiet. The serenity fit as the perfect closer for our long weekend. Or, rather, the would-be serenity, were our banter not breaking up the otherwise peaceful afternoon mood. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That last time was definitely doing it to get back at you for teasing her, hehehe. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh //really//? You sayin’ I deserved it, then? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: So you’re admitting your feelings, //then//? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I-I’m not! I wasn’t, for real! I was just saying… She said it a lot…and her hand… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It’s okay if you feel that way, hun. Nia made a noise of exasperation, then dramatically threw both her head and free arm up in the air. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Okay! Okay fine, you pulled it out of me. //Maybe// I was a little jealous… It just took me so long to get you to be okay with being called cute. She gets to just enjoy it without any of the work… Makes me feel…funny…I dunno how to describe it… Nia squeezed our still connected hands tighter as she spoke. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You know, you’re the only reason I don’t mind. Those years of effort you put into making me the person I am today… She only gets to “enjoy” calling me cute //because// of you. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Eheh, alright. Maybe you have a point… Though doesn’t this whole conversation feel kinda backwards when she’s the one fucking me? We both got another chuckle out of that. It did feel a bit ridiculous, but we all had our own hangups in life. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Maybe so hun… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Anyways, thanks for coming back with me. I appreciate you going out of your way so we can spend more time together. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Course hun. Thank //you// for fibbing so we could leave a little early and do this. I know you don’t //actually// need anything from your place, hehe. Oup, I suppose I was busted. She could be awfully sharp when it came to things like this. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Heh, glad you know me well. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ditto. We pulled closer together, my head resting partially on her shoulder. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We need a little extra “us” time while we can get it. Your parents need you to stay at your place tonight, right? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah… I’ve been spending so much time at your place these last few weeks, I almost forgot. But now Eve has too much homework to help me fill in with the kids. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Is Anton not old enough to help you two out yet? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hah, I wish! He isn’t //quite// old enough for me to trust him with that. I swear, hehe, you’re such an only-child sometimes Em. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ouch, but fair enough. I can’t deny I’m talking out of my ass when it comes to childcare. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yup, so just leave that to my judgment. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Then I’ll leave those calls to you if we ever have our own. Nia gaped for a moment, before gripping my hand with a newfound enthusiasm. She gave me a kiss and flashed a bright smile. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well duh, hehe! What would you do without me? We continued the remainder of the walk in comfortable silence, a visible pep in Nia’s step the whole time. [[Rina POV: “Good morning”]] [[Morning jog]]

(text-colour:#b0d1f2)[???:] You are no “daughter” of mine. You’re… Just say it. Say what you wanna say! (text-colour:#c4b721)[???]: Nuri, how could you do this to me!? I know what you think about me! What you say when you think I’m not listening! (text-colour:#d551e6)[???]: Get away from me! You fucking…! Don’t look at me like that! Just say it! (text-colour:red)[//You’re a freak!//] …! My eyes shot open. Vision swimming, head aching; I could barely make out my surroundings. A blackened room, laser lights gliding softly across the ceiling, the low drone of the speakers… I was in my new apartment. I wasn’t back in… I suppressed the thought with a swallow. Don’t dwell on it…I was safe right now, that was all that mattered. Relief flooded in, but it was short lived as a fit of coughing wracked my heaving body. Augh, I felt like I got hit by a truck. Everything hurt… Nothing new there, but this was worse than usual. I tried to sit up, but my limbs were still shaking. I winced at the movement, and realized my fists were clenched tight. Now that I was more awake, I noticed my hands actually stung like hell. Don’t tell me… I lifted them to my face. Fucking great, I dug my nails into my palms…again… My sheets were soaked with sweat too! What a great fucking way to start the day! I did what I could to prop myself against the wall and took slow, deep breaths. I clutched my knees while waiting for the aftershocks to pass. I’m okay now… I’m okay. Just breathe, Rina. It’s gonna be oka-...!!! The blare of my text notification nearly gave me a heart attack. I sneered at my phone, sight turning red. Who was the piece of shit texting me at the worst possible-! …It was Em… He was wishing the group chat a good morning… I stared blankly at the screen, my brain completely stopped up. As I sat, motionless, another text came in; this time it was from Nia. Her message was a spam of random happy emojis and a misspelled “good morning!”. Another ding. She sent a correction to spell it properly, but she’d misspelled it again. A snort forced itself out of me as I watched. She tried a third time, and still somehow failed, then settled on saying “GM” with an annoyed face next to it. Em responded with an “LMAO”. That was my line, I was the one laughing my ass off here. I couldn’t keep the smile from my face. I texted them back, wishing them a good morning as well — which they both reacted to with a heart emoji. Nobody sent any other messages, yet I read the short exchange back over and over again as I sat in bed… I felt my breathing start to hitch, and wetness trailed down my sore cheeks. Ahh, man am I a mess. One actual good night sleep with them and I’m already like this? I was so pathetic… If my nightmares were gonna be this bad from now on then I’ll need to find more excuses for sleepovers… Eventually my tears dried, and I slid myself to the edge of the bed; I left my legs hanging as I considered my options. God damn did I feel like crap. I was not looking forward to morning cardio… Maybe I should just stay home and crank a couple out instead…? Nah, I wasn’t in a good mood right now. Sad fapping might just make me even more miserable. I could just do that after I got home, assuming I perked up… What would I fap to anyway…? I couldn’t help but sigh as I reflected. A morning like this and I was //still// thinking about sex? Something must really be fucked in my upstairs. Heh, guess that’s fitting given what’s going on downstairs… I sighed again. Aight, enough sitting around moping. Regardless of how I felt right now, it was time to get on with the day. Things would get better…sooner or later… [[Morning jog]]

I finished preparing for the rest of my morning routine and headed outside. The late summer weather was perfect for my morning jog; not too hot or cold, with a refreshing breeze to aid in cooling off. I was dreading losing these mornings once late fall started setting in, so I resolved to enjoy it while I could. As I made my way around the apartment building, I stopped at the Ashwood intersection. In the distance the outline of Rina’s apartment building was faintly visible. Hmm, did she jog in the mornings? It seemed like something she would do, but I was unsure. She did have practice too. I wondered if someone who worked out so much already would bother with an additional warmup like this. I shrugged and made my way in that direction. There was no harm in deviating from my typical route to check, especially if it meant I could potentially see a friend. It was nice to hear from her and Nia this morning, and I wanted to further capitalize on the good mood if possible. I chuckled as I remembered Nia’s many fumblings when texting — she was too cute when she was tired. It didn’t take me long to find the answer to my earlier question. As I jogged, I came across Rina about halfway to her building. Her back was facing me. She was leaning against a concrete wall, panting hard and drooped down. It was hard to tell from a distance, but it seemed like she was absolutely drenched with sweat — I guess I caught her near the end of her run. I tried to quash my disappointment. It wasn’t as if I had actually expected to see her out here, I should just be happy I ran into her at all. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey! Rina! Rina jerked up at my voice. She looked around, confusedly facing every other direction before finally finding me behind her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Ay, what a coincidence! I didn’t know you ran this early too. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No coincidence, actually. I came this way hoping we might cross paths. Rina gave me a smug, but unquestionably happy, smirk. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Aww! You miss me already? Hehe, I was just with you guys yesterday, dude. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: A little, I thought it would be fun to run with a friend. You seem pretty wiped out though. Did I catch you at the end of your run? Rina’s face went through a flurry of emotions while I spoke. She beamed at first, but her expression slowly shifted to confusion as she processed my words. She looked down at herself and winced. From there, her expression slowly dimmed into a mixture of what seemed like embarrassment and something less scrutable. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haha, yeah. Bit of a rough morning…the workout, I mean… Sorry, eheh, I must look like total shit. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What do you mean? We’re exercising! Anyone who expects you to look conventionally presentable — whatever that really means — all the while doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Besides, - I looked over her with a pause. She didn’t look too out of the ordinary from a normal day at practice. She was wearing a pair of ruffled running skorts and an athletics tank top, and had her hair up in a messy ponytail. It was a nice, coordinated outfit, with colors that complemented both themselves and her features. Though obviously her own opinion on how she looked counted for more than my own, I felt her concerns were unfounded. The only notable oddities were the dark bags under her eyes and the bandages covering her palms, but I refrained from mentioning those. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: - I think you look good. Like you’re hard at work! I gave her a grin and a thumbs up. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheh, yeah? I could tell with you getting a real eye-full there~. You like it when I’m all hot and sweaty~? She put some effort into sounding confident with her teasing, but I could tell she was still winded. I felt the rare whisper of a devil on my shoulder. Her and Nia were developing a habit of teasing me, and even each other. Now — in her vulnerable state — would not be the worst time to prod her back and get in on the action. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Absolutely! Reminds me of our date~. Her cocky smile faltered and grew awkward; her face flushed to an even deeper hue than before we started speaking. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: O-oh, really…? I was taken aback by her reaction. I’d meant for it to just be a bit of playful banter, but Rina was genuinely flustered by my retort… Not that I would have minded normally, getting an effective point up in our collective teasing repartee had seemed a satisfying result; this, however, did not feel like our usual. Looking over Rina again, more carefully this time, I got the sense that she didn’t have her bearings at all… Was there actually something wrong with her? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You…doing alright, Rina? You seem like you’re feeling…a little off. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I…I think I woke up with a bit of a fever. Maybe I should get back home… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s a good idea. You alright if I walk you there? I just started my work out, so I could use a little more outside time anyway. The anxious bent of her features lessened slightly at the suggestion. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Thanks, I think I’ll take you up on that. We walked in silence for a short time. Maybe it would have been best to keep it that way, but my worry and curiosity managed to get the better of me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: So, are your hands okay? Did you hurt them? Rina started at my question. She knitted her fingers together behind her back and held them there as we moved. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Something like that, yeah…I, um, slammed them in the door this morning. I forgot my key when I was leaving, and uh, jammed my hands in the doorway to keep it from shutting. I gave her a look of serious concern. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh my god! Are you alright? My own alarm seemed to have flared hers up as well. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ohnonono, it’s totally fine! Don’t worry about it, dude. I got lucky; just a little cut from the metal, it’ll heal up in no time. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Jeez Rina, I’m sorry. It sounds like you’ve had a tough morning. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah… She exhaled and we both turned our heads away for a moment, giving her some likely needed space. That was for the best; if she was having a rough day so far, then the last thing I wanted to do was make it worse. I should have kept the comments earlier to myself. Being overly scrutinizing wasn’t very considerate. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …’s…bet…now…u’re here. Rina mumbled something as we gazed off in the distance, but I couldn’t quite parse it amongst the city’s morning noise and my own inner monologue. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hmm? Did you say something? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haah, no it’s nothing… Just talking to myself. We walked together in relative silence for the remainder of the trip, trying my best not to pry any further. As we approached the entrance to Rina’s building, she looked back at me before opening the glass doors. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hey, I’m sorry we couldn’t hang longer this morning. It was still nice to see you. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: There’s always tomorrow right? Or is this an irregular thing for you? Rina perked up at that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nope, I do this everyday. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Then why don’t you text me the specifics later? I’d love to have a workout buddy since you’re close. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …! Alright! I’ll let you know once I’m done getting ready for the day. See ya in class, Em! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Take care of yourself! With that, she went back inside. I stood and looked at the door for a minute after she was gone, still a little worried about her condition. She seemed haggard. Hopefully she took my advice and looked after herself today. [[Cheesecake]]

Nia and I sat at a table in the corner of the shop. We had both finished our last classes for the day and wanted to spend time together before she needed to head back home. A new bakery just opened near the campus, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to indulge Nia’s sweet tooth. Nia scoffed between bites of her cake. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m just saying Em, it’s so frickin’ annoying that all these places want you to scan their menus on your phone now. I’m tired of them clogging up my downloads! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I get what you mean. Granted, it’s probably not good to have so little space on your phone that a couple PDFs fill it up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sure, but the room on my phone is none of their fricking business! I wanna keep my pics n stuff! …This cake is tasty as fuck though, so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much. I had to agree on that front. Nitpicks of the establishment aside, their food was excellent. Even as someone who didn’t often indulge in desserts, I had to admit that this pie was in the upper echelons of my dining experiences. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Mine too. I’m glad you wanted to scope out this place. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh yeah? Lemme have a bite and see. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Only if you share some of yours. Nia pursed her lips and made a show of considering the trade. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmmm, I //guess// I could spare a bite…but you have to give a little extra sugar to comp me, hehe. She leaned around the table and kissed me on the cheek. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Taken in advance, of course! I leaned over and gave her a quick peck in return. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: As many as you need, hun. We chuckled as we exchanged bites and light bits of conversation. The atmosphere was very cozy; perfect to decompress after a long day of lectures. A short while later, a collective ping interrupted Nia as she was ranting about one of her professors. It was from our special group chat with Rina. I opened the app to check the message…then immediately closed it as a batch of scantily clad photos of our friend were previewed on my screen. Nia, on the other hand, did no such thing. As her back was facing the wall — unlike myself, whose back faced the bakery’s front counter — she was perfectly able to thumb through the set of seemingly pornographic images. A smile steadily grew on her face as she looked them over, accompanied by a light blush. She turned to me with that telltale glint in her eye; I could already hear the wheels spinning in her head. Nia scooted close to me, threw her arm over my shoulder, and held her phone up in the air with a big smile. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Say cheesecake! Upon taking the selfie, she swiftly shot off a text, gave me an unexpectedly deep kiss, then stood up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’ll be right back, cutie. I’m gonna…go to the bathroom real quick, hehe. I watched as she skipped off. Though obvious, the thought that she wasn’t going in there for your standard business pervaded my mind. With her chair now vacant, I took the opportunity to swap seats and pull my phone back up. A minor degree of privacy now assured, I opened the app and looked at the group chat once more. The first picture to greet me was the one I primarily caught a glimpse of before. It was of Rina alone in one of the school gym’s shower rooms. She was sitting on a bench, glistening with sweat and looking away from the camera, acting aloof, as if she didn’t even know the picture was being taken. She was practically naked; wearing only a thin crop top — which highlighted her strong core muscles in particular — and a pair of skintight spats, as well as a wet towel draped over her defined shoulders. Along the top of the cluster of pictures came a comment: (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Trying to cool down after practice! (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:19pm] I flipped to the next picture in the set and enlarged it. In this one, she was wiping herself off with the towel. A relieved expression painted her, eyes clenched and lips parted in an almost audible groan. Unlike the last photo, the outline of Rina’s hardened nipples and growing erection strained painfully against their confines. I swallowed heavily and changed over to the last of the set. Rina’s top was entirely absent now — thrown off into the background along with her sports bra and basketball uniform. Her spats, meanwhile, were pulled down around her shins. She had a crooked grin plastered across her face and her eyes were now locked to the camera. There was nothing left to the imagination; her large breasts, full thighs, and massive dick were on display for all to see. Fresh commentary at the bottom of the final photo replaced the old. (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Man, just can’t shake the heat! 😢 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:19pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Any tips to help a girl out? (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:19pm] I couldn’t keep myself from swearing under my breath as I read over the sexts a second time. I reluctantly minimized the image and scrolled down. What had Nia responded with? What was she doing anyways? She had been gone for a while at this point. Our selfie popped up on the screen, joined by a message Nia had sent cheerfully informing Rina that the two of us were having some dessert at the new bakery next to campus. A portion at the end caught my eye, where she mentioned that “we had the perfect fix for her problem!” I barely had time to finish the message, however, as a series of pings from the group chat came in quick succession. This time Nia was their source. Despite the haze of hormones, which compelled me to indulge them this instant, I couldn’t help but notice Nia had sent them all individually, instead of in a batch like Rina had. I giggled, she must not have known how to do that. She was adorable. My greedy instincts were far from sated by wholesomeness though, so I continued thumbing through our lewd messages. The first showcased Nia’s full body facing the camera. She was staring at the camera with a shockingly tangible want, imparting to the viewer a distinct impression that she could hardly contain herself. To top it off, the middle two buttons of her blouse were unbuttoned and spread with a finger; giving us a not-so-vague outline of her breast’s definition and curvature. Playing along, Nia had matched Rina’s format with some commentary of her own. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: Sweets after stressing your bod are the best imo! You seem a lil too occupied to join us tho lmao 👀 You’ll have to make due with my personal bakery instead. 😏 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:25pm] I crossed my legs to keep from fully exposing myself in public, but I was confident anyone who saw my expression at that moment would be able to deduce the nature of what I was looking at. Nevertheless, I couldn’t stop now. I scrolled to the next message. I was greeted with a close up shot of Nia’s ass. Her skirt was absent and her panties were digging into her thighs. Hands digging around and underneath her cheeks, she perked them up and highlighted their incredible definition. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: I highly recommend the cake! Their servings are very generous! 🍰 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:25pm] My hands were jittery at this point, but it was still manageable. I hastily flicked my screen to see the final image. Nia’s backside was still the focus, but this time she was bent over and twisted to face us. She had her close hand spreading her ass to give us a view of both her half-stretched pussy and asshole. She wore a cocky, intensely horny expression and used her other hand to give us a peace sign. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: Their pies are also to die for! 🥧(text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:26pm] Dear lord… I bit my lip and exhaled as I tried to center myself. I was so engrossed I almost dropped my phone as another text suddenly came in. Upon scrolling down to it, however, I was greeted with a spoilered box — within which I could parse the faint outline of Nia’s form— and a line of text above it. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: This one is just for Rina, sorry hun~. No peeking! 😉 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:27pm] Rina quickly shot back several texts full of panting emojis, praying hands, sweat drops, and other sexually charged praises. I stared blankly at the screen, torn between my burning need to see the image and the tingling sensation that Nia’s denial sparked inside my brain. My desire to play along eventually won out, and a sigh escaped me as I resisted the urge to “peek”. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Good boy~. I’m proud of you, hehe. I jolted in my seat as Nia’s breathy voice filled my ear. I had been so absorbed that I didn’t notice she had returned from the bathroom and was hovering right behind me. Her hands slid along my shoulders and rested on my chest. Her fingers brushed against my nipples and pinched them softly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You like~? I dumbly nodded my head. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I think my good boy deserves a reward…you still wanna see the pic~? I’ll let you, if you do one thing for me~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Anything! All the willpower I exercised prior had evaporated in a split second. I didn’t even consider what it could be, the answer tearing itself from my throat as soon as my reaction speed allowed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Rina wanted //everyone// to be involved in the group chat, right? I promised we would fix her issue, so I want you to go in the bathroom and give us a little show too…Kay~? Again, I barely processed what she said before I found myself marching over to the bathroom. Rapidly I came to the bathroom, locked the door, and scouted where Nia had taken her pictures. The sink’s faucet had a perfect nook to wedge the phone into for hands-free photos, and I planned to make as good a use of it as she had. I received two more texts on my way here. I checked them to make sure I didn’t miss anything. The first was expected: Nia, letting Rina know that I’m going to be “spreading the love”. The second, less expected response, was Rina enthusiastically begging for my participation. (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: OMGG PLS! Spread it! I’m so mf close, Em! 🥺🙏 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:30pm] If there had been any doubt in my mind before this that Rina had been pleasuring herself, as she had implied, this desperation quashed it. The idea of Rina getting off to Nia’s pictures alone had me leaking precum, and the idea that both of them were about to enjoy — and that Rina would even finish to — my own left me gasping. Was this how Nia felt? I found some new sympathy for my girlfriend’s side of our sexual equation. This minor revelation was hardly helpful, however. My mind was racing for ideas. What did I send them? I was too horny to think of anything clever to say, and I wasn’t very adept at dirty talk to begin with! Not to mention most men had a generally bad reputation for sending trashy nudes; I’d be loath to live up to the stereotype by sending them a badly lit, poorly angled dickpic. After concentrating, I came up with an idea: Just follow what they had said and done themselves. Full frontal nudity, followed by some racy backshots of my package and ass? It wasn’t the most creative, but originality was rarely someone’s top priority when it came to sex. And, in a sense, Rina and Nia had quite literally asked me to “spread”, after all… The first pose was easy enough. I angled myself backwards a little, lifted my shirt to my collarbone, flexed my muscles, and propped my cock and balls up slightly with a hand from underneath the frame. I was a little self-conscious of how erect my nipples still were from Nia’s playing, as well as the precum drippage, but the photo turned out well enough. The next two were more difficult, especially spreading myself. Not in a technical sense; my ass, though not nearly as ample as either of my partner’s, was very well shaped and was plenty plush — by Nia’s own testimony, not just mine. The difficulty lay in working myself up to it. I didn’t dawdle, of course, as I didn’t want to keep my audience waiting. I simply chafed against the idea that this wasn’t a very “masculine” thing to do; an especially frustrating hurdle considering how easily this activity came to me in my youth. I suppose time really does change a person… Thank god I was so horny right now, my inhibitions were drastically reduced. I took a deep breath and cringed my way through it. I didn’t have anything to be embarrassed about. Not only had every person I had ever been with complimented my butt in some fashion, Nia had requested I catch anal many times over our relationship. I turned her down half the time, but that was irrelevant to this — the knowledge that Nia wanted it was what mattered. Rina wasn’t likely to be any different with her presented attitude and what I knew of her sexuality. I tried to not unduly scrutinize the pictures once I was done, my plainly visible shyness in specific, and rushed to send them to the group chat. I sat on the toilet for a moment, enduring the intense burning sensation that ran through my face as my phone rang out multiple times. After a breather, I found it within myself to check the chat and read their replies. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: So cute! 😭 😭 🙏 🙏 Been too long babe! (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:39pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: AAHHH OMFG TASTY AF! And that beauty mark next to your ass!!! 😤 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:39pm] They went on raving for several more texts, but I set my phone back down after the first two. I was happy they liked them, but… Oh man, that was a lot to take in. Maybe I was wrong to turn Nia’s requests down so often if she liked it that much… A rapping on the bathroom door knocked me from my trance. I’d forgotten we were still in a public place. I needed to be mindful of that, this was the second time our fun had taken up a restroom. I ran back to our table and sat next to a happily blushing Nia. She was chowing down on yet another slice of cake. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Eheh, I’m surprised you have an appetite for more. You had that whole last piece and some of mine. Her blush grew and she shrugged, all the while giving me a powerful leer. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It was either get another order, or jump your bones right here in the cafe, and I didn’t want to get banned from this place //that// fast. Our phones pinged again. (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Your bakeries need some glaze? I’ve got a lot to spare…😖 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:45pm] Rina sent us a photo of her legs and one of her hands absolutely covered in cum. Nia slammed down her fork and stood up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That’s it. I’m paying, and then we’re going to your place. ''Right now''. It was all I could do to box up her leftovers as she physically dragged me to my apartment. [[Nia POV: Friends of mine]] [[My girlfriend, my friend]]

It was Thursday before I knew it. How did that happen? The week really had gone by in a flash. Normally I wasn’t a fan of the days blending together — it gave me a sort of existential dread about the direction of my life — but it was different this time; I was feeling good about everything right now! This was a pleasant surprise, cause I’d been feeling a little insecure at the start of the week. Between our first real time with Rina, my concern…c’mon girl, don’t //totally// undersell it…my //minor// — and I refused to give myself more flack by calling it anything else — freakout about having sex with Rina alone, and getting to spend less time with Em, my mood was all over the place. Not anymore, thankfully. Monday might’ve been what kicked things into high gear. Not only did “Dai’z” turn out to have crazy good food, and not only did we have an awesome sexting session with Rina, but Em let me play with his ass for the first time in forever! I almost wanted to cry outta happiness. I’d been worried for the last month or so that our new bedroom adventures might change our sex negatively, and while I did start feeling better about it last week, part of me was still wary. Instead of being a problem though, so far it seemed to only improve things! It’d been such a long time since I got to really dig into him like that, and, oh man, did I take advantage! If only I hadn’t had to go home that night, I would’ve //really// gone all out with him! I chuckled imagining all the cute noises Em would’ve made. As the fantasy fizzled though, I felt a little bummed out. Man, forget giving it to him with the strap-on, we haven’t had a chance to go at it //at all// since then… Ah well, I still had the pictures he and Rina sent that day — plus a few I picked up from them over the week for good measure. Those were enough to hold me off…for now. We had good reason for the lack of fucking though; it wasn’t like I’d suddenly developed a taste for blue balling or something. Stuff was going down at mom and dad’s work from the sounds of things, so I was staying over more to help them out. Sure, it wasn’t my fave, but shit went sideways sometimes and that was life — sexual needs came after my family, simple as that. It wasn’t like I hated spending time with the kids, either. Anton was finally getting to an age where we could have real conversations, which meant a lot more to me as an adult than I thought it would. Tite and Edith weren’t quite there yet, but — being the age where they were curious about anything and everything — they were still fun to talk to in their own way. And Eve…well, things //could// be worse. I’m trying not to take it personally. She’s just figuring herself out, right? I was the same way when I was in high school. She doesn’t resent me…probably. And if she does…if that’s true, I just hope she talks to me when she’s ready. I didn’t want her to feel alone though…eh, I shouldn’t force it on her; she wouldn’t respond well to that. I, for sure, wouldn’t have at her age… I wish I could ask Em for help, but with my family… I slapped my cheeks and took a deep breath. Quit! Suck it up, Nia! Don’t let yourself fall down those guilty rabbit holes again. Things are going well, and there’s no point in dwelling on what you can’t change. Besides, I didn’t want to be in a bad mood for Lucy and Rina. On that note, I raised my head and took in the loose crowd milling in and out of the mall to see if they were here. … Damn, nothing yet…but that wasn’t their fault; it was me who got excited and came way too early. Not that my excitement had faded, I still felt giddy thinking about how the plan worked out. Lucy invited me to hang here earlier today and gave me the OK when I asked if Rina could join in. It seemed like a good opportunity to get closer to her outside of sex, which Em and I both agreed was important if our play was going to be healthy in the long term. I did feel kinda bad shoehorning that goal into this when Lucy invited me, but I doubt she minded; Lucy was a huge social butterfly, after all — always willing to make a new friend if given the chance. It was so different from how I socialized, and I appreciated that about her — how could I not, when that was how we met? Before I could get too deep in the nostalgic muck, a tap on the shoulder brought me around. It was Rina, standing over me… Damn! I gave her a once over. Not only was she in a //very// fashionable fit, she’d put a fuckload of effort into her braids! I woulda felt shabby in comparison if I cared much about that kinda stuff. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ay, welcome back to the land of the living! You didn’t respond when I called out to ya, hehehe. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Haha sorry, I was bouncing some crap around in my head. Rina sat down to me and leaned over the back of the bench, laying her long arms along the rest and behind me. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Anything ya wanna chat about? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, just life stuff. Homework, family, a little bit of this and that. How bout you? I’m sure you know how it is. She dampened just a little bit, but managed to keep up the cheerful appearance. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haah…Yeah, I feel that. But nah, I’m good. No sense moping! We can smooth out any bumps with some girl time! She clapped her hand around my shoulder boisterously and pulled me in closer, the bright smile from earlier returning to her face in full force. Fair enough if she didn’t wanna talk about it, I brushed off her offer too. I’d just follow her lead. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: True! I take it you were excited too? You’re looking hella stylish for just getting out of practice. Rina giggled in embarrassment and rubbed the back of her neck. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Thanks, I hadn’t had a chance to show this off yet! And yeaaah, hehe, I ran home and got ready first. Sorry if it held me up too much. I was just, maybe, kinda, sorta, hyped about this. It’s been a while since I’ve been out with friends…in a platonic way, I meant! Our get together last weekend was uh… I mean, I didn’t wanna give the wrong impression by getting all gussied up for it. That was different. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It was “different”, eh? I think you mean //special//. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Riiight. “Special”, that’s what I meant. We shot each other a sly smile. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, I’m glad you could make it too. I’m honored to be your first time out in a while, ma’am. Her eye twitched at “ma’am”. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Oh no, the honor’s all mine. I couldn’t have asked for a better “first time” to come back to~. A flicker of heat crept into Rina’s voice as she leaned her arm further over me. I felt my lips curl in response. Oh? So Rina’s got a thing for authoritative titles, huh? Should’ve guessed as much with how she acts in bed. That’s cute, I bet play like that makes her feel powerful. I’d have to keep it in mind down the road. Or…well, maybe it was the week of texting influencing me, but I wasn’t exactly opposed to messing around a //tiny// bit while we waited. I knew Em wouldn’t mind. (text-colour:magenta)[And you needed more casual practice away from him, right~?] I put my hand on her thigh so she knew the flirting was mutual. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Hmmmm? We’re still talking about today, right~? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: We could be, if you wanted~. Girl was thirsty; couldn’t say I blamed her though, I was feeling sorta parched too… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ohhh a //very// tempting offer, but I think it’ll be better if we wait till the weekend. We haven’t even had our little group meeting. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahah, yeah that’s true... Ugh, we need to get on that. It’d be pretty lame to have our schedule fall apart the week we made it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Not a great way to start things off, hehe. Rina sighed and relaxed herself against me and the bench. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Def not a habit to get into… Also, sorry if I was being “handsy” again. I didn’t have time to cool myself off after practice and I can feel my back teeth floating. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No worries, I’m backed up too. Maybe tone down the handsiness down a tad though, eh? Luce might- (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Ohhoho, what’s thiiis? Getting all cozy before I can get in on the hugs? You girls are gonna make me jea-lous! Rina almost jumped out of her skin as Lucy loudly announced her presence in that reliable way she always did. She sauntered towards us from the far end of the parking lot with a curious smirk. Rina hopped off of the bench and waved shyly at Lucy as she approached. The startled girl cleared her throat, cocked her hips, and put her hand out. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: U-uh, hey! I dunno if we’ve ever actually met before. I’m Rina, Nia and Em’s friend from the Basketball te-! Lucy grabbed Rina’s hand and pulled her into a big bear hug, totally shattering the cool girl persona she’d tried to slip into. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Nice to finally meet ya! I’ve heard a lot about you for someone I’ve never met, hahaha, but any friend of Nia’s is a friend of mine too! I had to stop myself from laughing as Rina absolutely floundered under Lucy’s pressure — not her physical strength obviously, since Rina was way bigger than Lucy, but how she socialized. I’d been looking forward to seeing these two meet ever since I realized Rina’s shtick, and so far I wasn’t disappointed. That being said, I couldn’t blame Rina for being nervous. Any other person we knew seeing us like that might’ve been an issue; luckily, Lucy wasn’t just any other person. Not only was she arguably more touchy than Rina when it came to her friends, but she was also…while not exactly aware of the situation, I’d given her a heads up that Rina is very…physically friendly…just in case Rina couldn’t keep herself from wandering. A good call, it turned out. I was glad Em suggested it. Another giggle threatened to erupt as I watched them; Rina was a riot when she got caught with her pants down like this. It also made her feel more…I dunno, natural? There was more to it I struggled to pin down, but whatever. I got up and skipped over to join in the soon-to-be group hug. This was gonna be fun! [[Nia POV: Friends of my friends]] [[My girlfriend, my friend]]

I fell into bed and spaced out for a while. I had gotten back far later than I was expecting to. Tutoring was normally less demanding, but I had some community service to deal with prior to starting. Today’s student was also, to put it gently, in desperate need of attention. I wish they had called me sooner. His test was on Monday, and it was already Thursday… This was too late to be helping him with the fundamentals. If I’d known he was struggling this much, I would’ve worked with him last week to keep him from falling that far behind in the first place; nor would I have had to listen to the parents argue about whose fault it was that the student wasn’t talking to them about school… The whole situation reminded me of when I was younger, leaving me feeling rather depressed. It was sad to see how much some kids struggle to talk with the adults in their lives about these things, not to mention just how much some parents fail to get involved… I buried my head in the pillows and let out all my pent up exasperation. I wish Nia was here. Perverse though it may sound, and may have undoubtedly been to some degree, I would really prefer her lap in place of this cushion right now. Failing that comfort, I turned to my phone. Nia and Rina had gone out today on a shopping trip with Lucy. Hearing how their day had gone would be exactly what I needed to calm my nerves and unwind. (text-colour:blue)[SpiritoftheLibrary]: Just got home from tutoring, it was a rough one today. How did everything go on the outing?

Being able to relax and talk with them was no doubt the remedy I had needed to shed that baggage. I still hadn’t gotten an answer about the shopping trip though… I debated if I wanted to bring it up again, in case they were intentionally forgoing their mention of it, but decided I was overanalyzing the situation. There was no way they didn’t get along, not with all three of them being as personable as they were. (text-colour:blue)[SpiritoftheLibrary]: So…did everything go well at the mall with Lucy? (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:36pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Oup, totally missed that lol (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:36pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: It was a ton of fun! Lucy is really cool! (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:37pm] Rina sent a picture to the group chat. It was a selfie of her and Lucy in a bookstore, sticking their tongues out at the camera and holding a comic with a red headed guy in a basketball uniform. I’d never heard of it before, but it certainly seemed like something Rina would like. (text-colour:blue)[SpiritoftheLibrary]: Cute pic, you two look like you’re having a good time! Were you guys there to pick up Nia’s books? (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:38pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Yep! She’s actually the reason we took the pic (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:38pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: If you look close, you can see her scrunching up her face in the background lmao (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:38pm] I opened the photo and zoomed into the preview. Sure enough, Nia was in the background making a funny, almost glowering expression at the two of them. (text-colour:blue)[SpiritoftheLibrary]: Aw! She’s adorable back there lol. Why are you making that face, hun? (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:39pm] There was a short pause before Nia eventually responded. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: Sorry, I was in the bathroom lol (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:45pm] That struck me as odd since Nia usually took her phone to the bathroom with her, but I figured she’d just forgotten it. It wouldn't have been the first time, and, unlike when she was over here, she was unlikely to ask anyone in her family to bring it to her. I giggled a little, imagining that hypothetical. I think Eve would throw it in the toilet if Nia asked her to do something like that. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: I didn’t realize I was making a face like that. Musta been mid sneeze or somethin 🤣 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:46pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: Ya know tho, if you think THAT one is adorable, you should see the pics we took in the changing room 🙃 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:47pm] My heart stopped for a second. They took photos together…in the changing room? (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: 😱😱😱 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:47pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Nia!

I averted my gaze and stared at the ceiling, trying to collect myself. I should probably say something, reassure Rina that Nia was just goading her on, and definitely wouldn’t share those photos if she didn’t want her to, but… (text-colour:magenta)[What if she actually wanted Nia to share them? She’s not really fighting it. More importantly, do you really want to butt in on their flirting and risk not seeing the goods~?] I… I shook my head. I shouldn’t be thinking opportunistically like that. That wasn’t cool. The mystery photos were not necessarily related to our play, even if Nia was utilizing them for it now, so I’m not entitled to know all the details if they aren't. I should ask first, and… My attention waned. More messages had come in while I was engaging in my internal debate. As a result, I did not notice the conversation passing me by until a large box containing several images of Rina and Nia’s striking frames caught my eye. My moral dilemma seemingly solved for me, I disregarded what I was thinking entirely and began skimming. (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: 🤐 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:54pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: 😊 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:54pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: You don’t have to say it.

(text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:56pm] She knew me well. I was…and she wasn’t wrong. At some point — the when of it wasn’t entirely clear to me at the moment — I found I was entirely naked on the bed, breathlessly stroking myself as I read on. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: See? Too busy to even respond ♥️ (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:58pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: So Rina? We spicing it up for Em, or leaving it to his imagination? (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:59pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: 😶 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:59pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: 👍 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 9:59pm] Below was a collection of selfies with Rina and Nia in a somewhat cramped looking changing room. Nia was hanging onto Rina, her arms wrapped around Rina’s neck and pulling her in close. Nia was looking up at the camera with a huge grin on her face, meanwhile Rina was absolutely burning up, gazing at Nia’s body with a nervous, inflamed expression. Behind them was a pile of day clothes and a collection of hangers, which I assumed were for the clothes they were trying on. The clothes in question appeared to be underwear — they were both wearing fancier, girlier styled pairs than those discarded behind them. Were that not notable itself, it was obvious in Rina’s case that these weren’t the underwear she’d come in wearing, because they did not fit her at all. Every time I’d seen Rina semi-naked, or in the process of getting naked — which granted had not been that many times yet — she had worn some type of boxer briefs. Given her profound endowments, this was a sensible decision. In stark contrast, this picture featured Rina wearing a thin, lace framed set of women’s panties that utterly failed to contain anything. Her dick ran all the way along the front of her hip, just barely able to sit under the elastic, while her balls fell on either end of the fabric’s underside. Despite the erotic nature of the display, a small pang of empathy for Rina stung my heart alongside the carnal admiration. The comically ill-fitting undergarments really put into perspective how her wearing men’s underwear was not likely a matter of personal preference. But perhaps it was a bit presumptuous of me to pity her like that, especially when both she and Nia looked damn near like models in all other respects. Everything, from the hugging of their tight curves to the way the colors of their garments complemented their skin tones, gave them a brain frying degree of sexual allure. Nia’s finely decorated white pair, in particular, both gave her an eye-popping contrast and showcased her swimmer’s body perfectly. Thumbing to the next image, I was confused at first. A cursory glance told me the photo was the same. It was only upon a closer examination — when the hormones of my brain settled just enough for me to actually focus — that I found my assessment was clearly incorrect. Rina was preoccupied with Nia’s stunnning figure, which had left her underwear in an even greater state of disarray from the last photo. She was practically bursting from the seams. Judging by Nia’s mostly innocent smile and matching general position, she was completely unaware of her partner's change in demeanor; confirming to me these photos were taken in quick succession. I shakily swapped to the next image, and was not disappointed by what I found. Nia had undoubtedly noticed Rina eye-fucking her at some point between this picture and the last. This time, despite the relative similarities, the differences were intentionally impossible to miss. Their faces were laced with a devilish lasciviousness that hadn’t been present before. Nia’s massive grin now sported a deep blush, and her once brightly open eyes were heavy lidded. Rina was in much the same state; her gaze hazy with powerful lust and her hands clenched with yearning. Rina’s body was slightly shielded by Nia’s pressing against her, and the outline of her fully erect cock was visibly nestled into the leftmost curve of my girlfriend’s ass and oblique. The two of them looked seconds away from the most violent sex of their lives. It was astounding to me that they’d somehow had the willpower to somehow walk away from this. Just jerking off to it left me feeling dizzy. A feeling which quickly overwhelmed me, driving me to finish to the photo as images of their fit bodies slamming into each other filled my imagination. I laid there gasping for the following minutes, reeling at the vivid imagery that had been conjured… We really needed to have that session. ''ASAP''. [[Assurance: An Interlude]] [[The session in question]]

…I wasn’t wrong, per se, but this isn’t exactly what I’d had in mind… After the initial culture shock of Lucy’s overpowering and loud aura settled, her and Rina began to really hit it off. I mean, they were ''really'' hitting it off. You’d think //they// were the ones who were friends since middle school, not me and Lucy… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, no way! That’s so perfect for Nia! (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: I know, right!? You shoulda seen her piercings, they looked so good on her! We even had matching sets! Gawd Nia, you bitch, I wish you didn’t make me delete all your pics back then! Should’ve kept some in a USB or something! I was positive that if I dunked my head under the water right now it would burst into steam; my face was absolutely smoldering at this point. Meanwhile, they were both red in the face from laughing about the styles I tried out back in high school. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’ll be right back… My incredibly loud and loose lipped friend patted me on the back as her giggling finally died down. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Do your thing hun, we’ll be by the comics. I have something I wanna show Rina. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh, right on! Is it the basketball manga you were talking about earlier? (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Yeah, I think you’d really like it! Like I said, it’s about this delinquent guy who - Their conversation faded in the distance as we split up… We had taken a quick detour to the mall’s chain bookseller on our way to the food court; I’d spaced on a few things for the reading list at the start of the first week, and if I didn’t pick them up soon I was going to be up shit creek. Despite that, I found myself staring at them while rifling through the educational shelves. I tried to focus on finding my reading material so we could move on, but my eyes just kept wandering over… What was it that had them jelling so well? Why was I so curious? I didn’t know the answer to either question, and something about it left a weird, almost unsatisfied — but somehow familiar — feeling in my belly… Was it the way Lucy’s go with the flow attitude and can-do outgoingness meshed with Rina’s more careful, calculated socializing? Was it their strong personalities? Gah! Whatever, stop creeping on them and get your crap done Nia! Why they were meshing didn’t matter to me! I should just be happy they were getting along as well as they are. I hurried along with my shopping and tried not to think about it any further. Once I was finished, we continued to the cafeteria. This time it was Rina who split with us once we found a table. She had wanted one of those massive sub sandwiches they had plastered in ads all along the mall, while Lucy and I were keen to get some shitty mall Chinese food. The mall wasn’t very busy, and it seemed like the server had stepped into the back for a minute, so we waited around at the counter just the two of us. Lucy put her arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a side hug. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: You good now? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmm? What’dya mean? She gave me a condescending smirk and snickered. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Really girl? You gonna pretend like you weren’t staring daggers at us for the last thirty minutes? A breath I didn’t know I was holding suddenly slipped out. Ah fuck, I knew I was being too obvious. I really needed to be more mindful. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: C’mon, spill it. What’s up? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s nothing Luce, I’m just being silly. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: C’moooon, what’s the deal? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Promise you won’t laugh at me? (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: I make no promises, but I’ll do my best. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Good enough, I guess. I’d deserve it anyways. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: And why’s that? I dragged my hands down my face. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Cause I was expecting Rina to get all flustered today… (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Oh? Were you using me for your teasing fetish again? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Yeaahh, but, in the end, I’m the one on the receiving end. Guess I played myself. Lucy seemed genuinely intrigued by my admission. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: I could definitely see her being fun to tease, she’s got a lot more of a “shy girl had a glow up after high school” vibe than the rumors suggested, hahaha. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: …I wouldn’t have expected that from you, though. You are a little playful, sure, but you’re…usually more gentle. Em’s really the only one I ever see you tease //that// way… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What can I say? Hehe, I think she’s fun to mess around with sometimes. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Yeah, I picked up on that. You two //are// pretty damn close. Even closer than you made it sound… Uh oh, Lucy took her rare serious tone. She paused; then, after just enough time for things to get stiff, she gave me a stern look and continued to broach the topic. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: …I know you said you two can be a little physical, and obvs I’m not a stranger to that myself, but…that thing you guys had going outside looked more than just a little //friendly//. My bad if I’m overthinking this, it just seemed kinda…lovey dovey… She pursed her lips and gave me a side eye. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: …You guys aren’t doing anything sus, right? Ahhh crap, I was too optimistic earlier… Why did I think that was a good idea…? My chest tightened and my head went totally blank, I couldn’t say anything. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Nia…I’m not gonna have to defend you from an //angry boyfriend//, or get a call with you sobbing at 4am in the near future, //right//? I flinched at her examples and the sharpness of their delivery. They sure were…awfully specific to me… Was she still…? She sighed at my silence and kept going. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: …Sorry, I didn’t mean that. I went way too far just now… Look I’m not doubting what you told me, and I know for a //fact// you don’t fuck with that kinda thing, I just need to make sure. Rina seems really nice, and sorta quirky, but the girl has those rumors floating around her twenty-four seven, and…well, anybody can make a mistake, Nia… The idea of Lucy assuming I was fooling around behind Em’s back, or that I was even seriously considering it, really hurt to hear. It hurt…but if I were in her shoes, I bet I’d think the same thing. I probably wouldn’t be so nice about it, either… I wanted to give her the lowdown and clear up the misunderstanding. I owed her that much at least…augh, but I couldn’t! At least not all the details, if I could avoid it. This wasn’t like sharing the stuff Em and I normally got up to, this was Rina’s secret too. I felt so stupid. Why didn’t we talk about what to do if this comes up? We should’ve had our group rehearsal earlier in the week instead of fucking around! I took a deep breath and resolved to find some kind of middle ground answer. I wasn’t going to straight up lie to her — we’d known each other way too long for me to get off scot-free, and that might ''really'' blow up in my face — I just also couldn’t tell her everything. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So, you know how Em and I have been doing some…kinky roleplay in the bedroom since a while back? Her eyebrows shot up as she drew her own conclusions. Funny enough, I’d bet they were closer to the truth than what I was gonna tell her, but I couldn’t leave it to an implication like that for my own convenience. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Wait, so…aight hold up, I’ll let you finish. You mean the stuff you’re vague about here and there, yeah? With the ways to talk dirty, the dildos, how to sound sexy, and all that? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, that stuff. So about that… Em and I wanted to try out some things…related to that, and it turns out Rina is very familiar. We already knew her well, and she and Em were already tight, so we decided to ask her. She said she’d be happy to help… Sooo, kinda like how I ask you for advice sometimes, we’ve been getting some pointers from Rina on how to…approach things. Since that topic is pretty intimate, y’know, she’s //even more// touchy with me and Em than she is with her other friends. Though she was still obviously curious, I could visibly see her relax as I explained the gist of things. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Okay, so it’s like…//more or less// kosher? You’re all in on it? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Basically. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: …Aight cool, I’ll leave it there then. But feel free to call me up if there are ever any problems, kay? I don’t want anyone pushing you to do stuff you’re not okay with anymore… She gave me a supportive squeeze as she dropped the topic. She’d definitely left something she wanted to say on the cutting room floor, but I kept that to myself. I guess Em was right; it can be hard to let go of past impressions if you’ve been with somebody a long time, even in a friendship… Suddenly, Lucy’s expression brightened and she totally lost it. She accidentally brought me down with her as she doubled over, howling with laughter. I was totally thrown off, the shift in tone //and// orientation shaking my balance. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: W-what? What’s so funny? (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: So you were jealous I was getting along with your new girlfriend better than you, huh? Or is she Em’s, and you’re mad she’s stealing both of us? I gaped at her. Once again, my face was burning. I reached for a pithy way to clapback at her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I…!!! …Augh, nothing… I let out a groan as she continued her raucous outburst, catching the attention of the lone server in the back. I covered my face and sighed. All this blushing couldn’t be good for me…at this rate I was gonna bust a damn vein! Why was I the one getting teased so much today? It wasn’t fair! One way or the other, I was gonna get even for this later! [[My girlfriend, my friend]]

Nia stifled a yawn as she scanned her immediate surroundings. I sympathized. We’d stayed up talking far later than I expected to. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Is there a plug on this side? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I got an extension cable running under the middle of the couch. Should be between Em’s legs. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, somewhere close //and// familiar? How convenient~. The three of us sat on Rina’s couch as we set up — Nia to my left and Rina to my right, with me on the middle cushion. I handed the laptop’s cord to Nia as she leaned under the couch to plug in our devices. With three phones, two tablets and my computer at our disposal, we were more than ready to dive into our long awaited preparation session. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thanks for hosting us again, Rina. I’m sorry it was so last minute. I just realized it was already Friday and freaked out. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha it's all good man, I felt the same way. We all kinda let the week get away from us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yup, no worries hun! Rina and I were talking about this yesterday, hehe, and //somehow// we forgot to mention it too! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Not on our A-game, huh? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Eh. Overdue or not, we’re here now. Better late than never. We continued adjusting the necessary bells and whistles as we casually discussed the day, until, eventually, everything was in place. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So, what’s first on the agenda? Should we put it to a vote or something? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We don’t need to do anything so formal, this is for sexy fun after all. We probably shouldn’t approach it too clinically. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Furreal, if we take ourselves too seriously it’s gonna be more of a turn //off// than a turn //on//… I’d probably say the porn though, if I //had// to pick heheh. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Really? That’s a surprise. I figured you’d want to stick to the chat sites. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s not like I’m against them, I’m sure they’ll be useful… I just kinda want //us// to brainstorm first. I dunno why, just gives me a “too many cooks in the kitchen” kinda vibe? Like, this is //my// project! I don’t want all those stranger’s fingers in //my// pies when I haven’t gotten a taste yet! A catlike grin perverted Rina’s visage. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Are we still using the same definition of “pies" as before? Nia and I laughed at the question and answered in tandem. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Absolutely. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ooohhh yeah! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Glad we’re all on the same wavelength, haha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But joking aside, porn is fine for me too. We can just make comments and spitball things as we go. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m okay with that too. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Alright then, it’s a date! Why don’t you crack open your stash and we can use that as a reference, sound good? The weight of what had been suggested finally caught up with me. I hadn’t thought about the possibility of me sharing everything from my own personal collection of favorites with them… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Uhhh… Rina and Nia cackled as they saw me squirm. I felt a blush start to grow under their amused leering. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sorry hun, no backing out now~! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Not like we don’t already know what your fetish is, perv~. Might as well show us what you’re busting to. If we like it, I bet we could do it even better, hehehe~. Oh boy… In some ways, I felt like this was going to be even more harrowing than last weekend. [[Personal interests]]

(text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oooh hun, I’m soooo sorry~! I //still// love you, but I just //can’t// live without his cock anymore~! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Y-you heard her, //cuck//!~ Pfft! There are gonna be some ''changes'' around here fruh-from n-now on! Rina could just barely make it through her line before she burst into yet another uproarious fit of laughter alongside Nia. They’d been at this the last ten or so minutes, the two of them barely finding time for breath within their comedic reenactments of the video I’d just finished sharing. They had requested I show them something on the spicier side to get us started; naturally, and working against my inclined timidity, I tried to deliver with gusto. I now cursed my desire to leave an impact, however, as the attempt had backfired spectacularly. I was burning up, my embarrassment practically nuclear by this point. Not just because of the natural self-consciousness the situation brought about, but because it was getting me hot and bothered despite — or perhaps, in part, because of — the derision… Still, I was glad they were having fun with it. Getting some mild flack was far better than the more awkward alternatives. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Okay okay, have //some// mercy on me girls! I know it’s silly. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hehehe, sorry Em. Not trying to be mean, it’s just so fuckin’ goofy dude. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah hun, hehe, just poking a little fun. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Phew… But okay, real talk; the sex was hot, but what do you get out of this situation? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, you lost me a little bit with this one too hehe. You’ve shown me some…interesting stuff before, but they were usually a lot more consensual than this. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I mean…I would totally understand if you were, uh… if you wanted to be the //bad guy//, just for example… Y’know, cause there’s a power fantasy in there. But in this case you’re like, self-inserting as the husband, right? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not exactly, but I see where you’re coming from with that question. I’m not really imagining myself in his shoes, at least not in a //literal// sense. In this video’s case, I would hate to have that happen to me in real life. Not that it actually //could//, it’s not exactly a realistic story after all, but even in my fantasies it’s not like that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hmm, okay. So what’s the appeal then? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Do you like it when the husband gets totally humiliated? Some of the other stuff you’ve shown me over the last year has been like that. Honestly I kinda thought that was exciting too, even if they took it too far at the end hehe. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha jeez Nia, your teasing streak is nastier than I thought! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehe, yeah that definitely doesn’t hurt my enjoyment, but that’s not what I was going to say. I set my laptop down and leaned against the back of the couch. How could I explain this…? Like many elements of sexuality, it was difficult to put to words. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m sure there are a lot of different reasons to get into this kind of thing, but for me it started with the sexual enthusiasm. That’s how I got into what I showed you. The stolen spouse element, I mean. There’s something I like about seeing a person enjoy sex ''so'' much that they’d throw away everything for it, and there’s something enticing about being okay with that… I considered for a moment about how to continue from there. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hrm… I’m not //really// into that, but…if I’m being real, I think a part of me gets what you’re saying… Oup sorry hun, didn’t mean to interrupt. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No no, it’s fine. I’m glad you at least understand what I mean. It’s complicated, but I don’t want you thinking the actual stealing itself is what I like about it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: C’mon, give me a little credit, love. I know I can have a bug up my butt about it sometimes, but I’m not //that// fragile about the topic. We’ve gotten this far, after all hehehe. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry hun, you’ve got a point. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …So would that be why you like Nia’s sorta self-made porn angle? Because she likes putting on a show so much, and it makes her enjoy everything more? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, that’s probably accurate. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That would explain why you like indulging her constant teasing so much too. You’re perverts working in sync, hahaha! Nia wrapped me in a hug and giggled. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeup! My subby lil boy just can’t get enough of me~! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That does make me curious though… What got you into what we’re doing now if the…stealing stuff was doing it for you? Like you said, you don’t want that kind of thing IRL, so what made you even think about all this? I paused to reflect on that question. It was hard to put myself in the mindstate of the me from several years ago, especially when so much had changed in that time…How had we gotten here, exactly? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well, there were a couple things in my life that did it. The most obvious being Nia’s own attitude and kinks, which, as we just established, mesh very well with most of mine. Nia chuckled as I continued. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: From there? I think it was me getting fatigued by the dour plotlines. The appeal of the stealing was the spouses enjoying it so much, but it was always either very unrealistic in narrative or had an overall negative emotional experience. These things didn’t bother me at first, but eventually I found their consistency grating. So, as time went on, I began gravitating more towards stuff with a lighter tone. I discovered videos and comics that have people swapping and sharing instead, and it stuck with me. Not just because I liked how I personally felt more about the content, but also because how a lot of the girls reminded me of Nia. It made me think this might be something she would be okay with trying. One thing led to another from there, and here we are! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So were you keeping this under wraps when you first got into it? Or was this before you two were together? Nia and I both lit up at that, blushing at what I assume was both of us remembering the first few conversations we shared about this. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Uhhh, kinda? Haha… I wasn’t //trying// to hide it or anything, but as you know Nia’s got some feelings on infidelity stuff — and they were way more intense back then. I didn’t want her to worry that I was sneaking around behind her back. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Pfft, and that's why this genius ended up sneaking around my back trying to hide it! He started acting ''super'' suspicious! Nia snorted with laughter as she recounted my shortsightedness. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeaaah… That’s the reason I eventually brought it up. I felt bad about it, and realized I was causing more problems than solving, regardless of my intent. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh man Rina, if only you could’ve seen him the first time he brought it up. He was so nervous, and so was I! It was adorable in retrospect, but at the time I thought something really serious was going on. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, I’d bet! I can only imagine how the talks must’ve gone. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But yeah, that all makes sense when you put it that way. Pretty heady, my man. You seem to think about these kinds of things a lot though, so I guess I should’ve expected an essay from you of all people. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ouch, but fair enough haha. I guess my majoring in instruction and penchant for being long winded make for a bad combo, huh? Sorry about that. Rina looked guilty at my apologetic reply, but Nia interjected before she could say anything. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw, don’t be like that hun. Pretty sure she was trying to give you a compliment, not diss ya. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheh, yeah my bad. Shoulda worded that better. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I do the same thing, so don’t feel too bad about it. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, no offense taken. I’m just glad it’s not annoying for you two. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: None meant either. And yeah, it’s not annoying at all dude. I really do think it’s interesting to hear about your side of it. I know you usually shouldn’t take a fetish at face value, but I guess there’s way more to this than I expected when you’re actually hearing someone’s story. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Maybe one of these days we can pry out your reasons for joining us? Rina blushed and gave her now staple awkward smile. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eh? Uhhh, maayybe if you go first haha... Nia looked like she was ready to take this conversation further, but I felt we’d lost the plot too much by this point. Though this was enjoyable, we did need to get some plans together eventually. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Okay okay girls, there’ll be time to compete about that later. Let’s keep going for now. The last vid was a wash, but, with any luck, maybe we’ll find something you can get more into. [[Overflow]]

We were on the fourth video now, and by this point the atmosphere had changed drastically. With our initial awkwardness out of the way, we were able to really get immersed into the mood. Our once energetic commentary had slowly petered out into the occasional half-joke or short, horny observation. We had been taking notes at the beginning as well, intending to make the most of the session analytically, but those too had fallen to the wayside — every device besides the television laying dark for at least fifteen minutes. The soft collection of moans echoed completely uninterrupted, the only prominent noises throughout Rina’s apartment. We all sat together watching the video, shifting back and forth in our seats. It was one of my favorites, and — whether it was due to the build up of the situation or they liked its contents as much as me — it seemed to really be doing it for them as well. Nia was sitting on her hands and rocking slightly, while Rina had taken to sitting on her knees and locking herself in a straight seated position. Both of their faces were flushed red, and mine felt much the same. The sexual tension was palpable; a feeling in the air that, at any moment, something was going to snap. A strained exhalation from my right broke the silence. Rina, it turned out, was that “something”. Rina squeezed her hands between her thighs, and doubled over with a whine of frustration. She looked over at us with desperation in her gaze. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Bro, I’m gonna lose it. I’m so wet right now my eyes are fucking watering. Can we //please// do //something//? Nia and I looked at each other, panting as we silently exchanged words. Nia was the one to put them into action. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Pants are looking a little tight on you guys… How about both of you…whip it out and let things breathe…? Her flirtatious request hung in the air. Nia’s eye twitched and she spoke up again with intense authority. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …''Now''. The sharpness of Nia’s order broke the spell and spurred us on immediately. By the time another thought had registered in my mind, Rina and I were entirely naked from our waists down; dicks at full attention and throbbing as they awaited our next move. Rina and I exchanged glances before we not so subtly took in each other’s forms. A collective shiver passed through us. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: S-should we just have our session today instead? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I…I wouldn’t be…opposed to some… Nia cleared her throat and interrupted my brittle line of thinking. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Nuh uh, don’t move. Don’t do anything~. You two stay… //~Just. Like. That~//. I swallowed the remainder of my words and did as she asked, assessing Nia’s demeanor all the while. She stayed seated as she watched us, biting her lip and gently rubbing herself under her skirt. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: N-now spread your legs~. Wide! Rina and I followed, opening our legs to the fullest extent that we could. We were both so invested in the moment that we didn’t stop to consider our placement, and the burning skin of our exposed thighs pressed into each other. Another shudder ran up my spine, and Rina gasped. Our panting became excessive as we maintained our touch and our cocks remained unattended. I felt a bead of precum run down my shaft as Nia’s smirk widened. She hastily slid her skirt and panties off where she sat; then, without warning, she turned towards us, spread her legs, and resumed masturbating with her new audience. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: W-we said we were gonna get thiiss~! Ah~! …g-get this done today, and I’m gonna keep us honest, hehehe~. This might be our only session with Em, and I’m ''not'' gonna waste it cause we got impatient~. She slipped three fingers inside her pussy as she spoke, eyes fluttering from the added sensations. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~But…i-it’s obvious we need a little…study break…hehehe. I’m not //that// mean, so I think we should a-ah! …we should all give ourselves a little //attention// while we watch the vid. We never said we couldn’t do that. Rina and I can enjoy being part of the audience for once, hehe~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Deal! Rina immediately capitulated to Nia’s tauting terms, leaving no room for me to interject. Without waiting for further reply, she immediately began to mindlessly pleasure herself. She grabbed her massive cock in one hand and began violently pumping it, while the other shifted repetitiously between her legs. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ooh! ~Oh ''finally''~! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, such a bad girl~. It’s cute to see you so desperate though, so I’ll let it slide. You, on the other hand, Em - She turned towards me with a horny, loving smile on her face (text-colour:green)[Nia]: - //you// have been a very good boy. Waiting until I said you can go ahead~. Will you join us and stroke your dick? Please, hun? I wanna see you cum so hard~. I hadn’t even realized I was holding out for her, but, as if on command, my hand was massaging my shaft the same moment she’d given the go ahead. The three of us reclined on Rina’s couch as we got off together, caught in the miasma of sexual sensations encompassing the whole room. Actress: Oh darling~! He’s so big! Ah~! Ah~! I’m losing my mind~! A short fit of giggles caught me as the porn actress cried out. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: W-what’s funny? Hehe, s-share with the class. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I, hehe, sorry I…was just thinking about how funny it - oh~!... it is…that we’re watching porn…where part of the narrative appeal is a new partner with a big penis…when we have Rina, with what has to be one of the biggest cocks in the world, jerking off next to us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hahaha! True! I bet that character’d be jealous of us, since she’s such a size queen~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh yeah~. And she //should// be~! If she thinks //that// guy is good, then I bet I could really make her //scream//~! Rina and Nia both joined me in my fit of horny giggles, redoubling the humor of the situation. Actor: Please, cum inside her! Actress: Please! Mark me~! Rina bit her lip as she stayed glued to the screen. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Oh I’ll fucking //mark// her for you, you fucking pervert~. Nia and I laughed again as Rina entertained her own dialogue with the characters. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oh god~! Hehehe, I can’t believe I’m saddled with //two// pervs as hopeless as you guys~! How did I get so lucky~? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: D-do you have room to talk, hun? Look at how you’re soaking the couch sweetie, y-you’re just as bad as we are~. Nia leaned her head back and thumbed her clit as I teased her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: AH~! Ah~ahehehe~, I guess you got me th-there cutie~. As the scene came to a close and the ending monologue began, Rina turned towards us. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ooh~! Oof~! Fuck! A-are you two close? I think I’m gonna blow here soon~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Y-yeah I’m close too~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Me th-three~! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: R-rina, do you have some tissues or something? I don- ah~! I don’t want to make a mess on your couch. Nia jumped to her knees, held her tongue out and cupped her unoccupied hand under her chin. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I-I~ Ugh~! I didn’t get lunch earlier, heheh, so gimme whatcha got~! Unsurprisingly, Rina wasted no time at all; grabbing Nia’s head and immediately latching it onto her cockhead. What was surprising, however, was that she grabbed my side and hoisted me along with her, shoving both of our glans together into Nia’s open mouth. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ooohh god~! You want a meal~? F~uhh~cking take it Nia! Take our loads~! Rina cried out as she hit orgasm like a brick wall, the tight embrace pulling me further between Nia’s stretched lips and her dick. I felt her begin to erupt inside, the sporadic jerks of her shaft and vibrations of my girlfriend’s throat working as a team to push me over the edge along with them. We stayed like that for what felt like minutes, our legs shaking as we struggled to keep ourselves side by side while emptying ourselves into Nia. Although sexy, the position — chosen in the heat of passion, rather than with any sort of planning — proved to be too difficult to hold post-orgasm, and we both fell backwards; pulling out of Nia’s gaping mouth as we landed on the couch. Nia coughed and gagged into her hand as she attempted to swallow all of the cum she’d been coated in without making a mess. Rina and I, meanwhile, tried to collect ourselves. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haaah, s-sorry about that Nia. l got a little carried away. Nia, mouth partly covered by her cupping hand as she tried to down the loads, simply waved Rina off and gave a thumbs up. Rina turned to me to say something, but her still hazy gaze instead fell downward at my crotch. I followed her still barely focused eyes, and caught sight of a large portion of our cum that had stuck to my inner thigh at some point. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Aw, what a waste hehehe~. Can’t leave you like that, now can we~? I didn’t have a chance to ask what she meant before I found out firsthand. Rina’s hand suddenly shot down and scooped our cum into her palm. Her exploration did not stop there though, as she ran her hand all the way up my crotch, even along the underside of my semi-flaccid cock, collecting every bit of leftovers that she could, before bringing it up to her mouth and following Nia’s lead. She slowly licked her hand after downing it, making sure there wasn’t a drop remaining. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Haah, there we go~. Don’t want Nia’s efforts to go to waste~! I gaped at her, stunned by the brazen display paired with our first direct sexual contact. She did not respond to my obvious shock; in fact, her actions barely even seemed to register for her. She simply smiled at her hand, a far off look in her eyes. I took a deep breath and stared up at the ceiling as we recovered, wondering how on Earth I was going to make it through the rest of the session while, once again, rock hard. [[Clear headed]]

A groan escaped me as I stretched against the back of the furniture piece, the popping in my spine chastising me for my recurring neglect of proper posture. After our “study break”, as Nia had so persuasively put it, we continued consuming porn and discussing ideas for another forty-five minutes or so. With our heads mostly cleared up, we managed to make good progress; even going as far as listing out ideas for the next few sessions, just in case Rina and Nia were too busy with other responsibilities, or shirked their meetings as we had this week. The following hour though, had been more or less entirely unproductive. At some point Rina had ordered food and drinks for delivery — under the typical college student guise of “needing to stay fueled so we could focus”, of course — and from there things slowly descended into a casual hang out. Not that there was anything wrong with that. In my mind it was ultimately for the best that we laid back and enjoyed ourselves. We had, after all, agreed that we wanted to spend more time together in a non-sexual setting, and our unfortunate lack of coordination left this as the only time we could hang the whole weekend. We really needed to get better about that going forward, or we would never find the time… As it stood, we already barely had room tomorrow for anything other than a quickie. It was a shame, but we would take what we could get. Not that we really even had a choice. After taking Nia’s suggestion and sticking to our guns about doing it tomorrow, I don’t think we could survive if we had to hold off for //another// week… I shuddered at the thought. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You cold hun? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh my bad, I usually have the heat turned off. I’d be happy to turn it up if ya want. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thanks, but I’m alright. It would be a waste to turn it on right before we get going anyways. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Jeez, I guess we really do need to huh? I can’t believe it’s already this late! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Damn, I guess it is about that time… Rina shot us a sullen look as we motioned to get up from our seats. Nia closed in and gave her a one armed hug in response. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw, cheer up Rina! You’ll see us tomorrow! Don’t miss us while we’re still here, hehe. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Exactly, we’ll be back before you know it. I mean hell, I’ll literally be meeting you for our morning run hahaha. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeeaah, I know…I just… are you sure you guys aren’t mad at me about earlier? Nia and I blushed as we were reminded of our post-sex discussion topic. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nah Rina, you’re all good. While it //was// unexpected, and we didn’t talk about it beforehand, we all agreed it was okay. Like we said last week, you’re our spontaneous element. It’s on theme. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I guess, yeah… How bout you, Nia? You looked kinda frustrated when we were talking about it. Are you sure we’re cool? Being addressed directly seemed to shake Nia from her thoughts. She adopted a complicated smile, and patted Rina on the back as she spoke. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Ahahaha, I was never //mad// at you //silly//. I just needed to process the…info, that’s all! We’ve all said and done stuff outta pocket when horny brained, and I bet it was definitely hot when you did it! //My// only regret is that I didn’t get to see it, hehe. So if you’re gonna fondle Em again, make sure you’re doing it when I’m not choking on your jizz, kay stud? I couldn’t deny Nia still sounded //slightly// sore about it, but it didn’t feel like she was being disingenuous. Nia’s attitude was seemingly her venting by prodding Rina, rather than coming from a place of genuine anger. The more I looked at it, actually, the more I got an inkling that she was trying to sound sterner than she felt… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheh, okay… Nia cleared her throat at the growing pause between them. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey furreal, if anything I should be the one apologizing. Not only did I cockblock all of us, but I got totally fucking soaked your couch! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Pssh, hehe, yeah you definitely did. I did too though, so we’re equally guilty there. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Honestly though? I’m surprised you don’t have more stains on that couch given how much you cum, Rina. With how often we’re doing our sessions here, it seems like you don’t mind getting it dirty. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nah, I normally put a towel down. I just keep forgetting to during when you guys are over cause you get me so riled up! Well that would explain why she didn’t have any tissues for this kind of situation. …Wow though, a whole towel…? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …So you’re saying you have a cumtowel instead of a cumsock? Rina’s playful smile immediately twisted into an ashamed, disgusted face, which caused Nia and I to utterly crack up. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: N-no! Gross! ''And'' rude! Don’t put it like that, they’re not the same thing! It is not like that! I-I keep that towel spotless dude! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: “That towel”? So you have a specific one? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …! N-... Y-...! Well, I…! Her uncharacteristically pure reaction mixed with her flustered stammering caused us to laugh even harder. We shared a look, agreeing this was far too good a moment to not capitalize on. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Phew, hehe, sorry to have offended you princess. I didn’t realize that cumsocks were such a sensitive topic for you. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t feel bad Rina, every healthy young person has done some things they’re not proud of hahaha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Didn’t you guys need to get going!? [[Hard and fast]]

I turned the key and pushed open the door to my apartment. Flipping the lights, I gestured Rina into the narrow antechamber. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: This is me. Sorry it’s a little small, it was just easier for Nia and I if we did things here. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nah dude, no biggie at all. I’m hyped to finally be over! Oh yeah, Rina has never been here before, has she? All this time as friends and we’d never hung out together at my place once. I hadn’t thought about it, but I suppose at the time it just didn’t come up. She and Nia, while by no means on bad terms with each other, weren’t friends in a sense that necessitated them meeting off campus, and having Rina over //without// Nia had seemed…inappropriate. Not that anything would have happened, it just never felt quite right; a sentiment with some degree of irony, given how our circumstances had changed in the last two weeks. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, glad to finally have you! Shame we’re on such a tight schedule. Rina shrugged her shoulders and smiled with aplomb. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: S’not like this is the last time I’ll be visiting. As she spoke, her warm look smoothly began twisting into something more primal. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: As for today, well…we’ll just have to make the most of our time together, won’t we~? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Heh, very true~. Hopefully Nia gets here soon so we can start! Following my gentle redirection, I quickly skirted around her large form and headed to the kitchen. I felt bad, but I was trying my best not to stoke Rina’s voracious appetite //too// much too soon…not to mention my own. She’d already made several comments like that while we were running, and they were becoming increasingly difficult not to meet in due kind. She must have //really// been looking forward to this — though I could hardly imagine otherwise after yesterday. I called out from the kitchen as I cracked some fresh ice from the freezer. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’ll get drinks while you’re unloading. Feel free to make yourself at home while we wait! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Kay! Our plans were swiftly interrupted, however, when a knock came from the door, Rina having barely even gotten off her shoes before the interjection. I set our drink tray on the ottoman and joined my guest back in the entryway. Before I had a chance to open the door though, it unlatched on its own. Nia came through, peeking her head around the corner. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Helllloooo? Anyone home? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey hun! Nia popped inside and hopped into my waiting arms. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Missed you! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Missed you too! While nice, the wholesomeness of the moment was short lived as Nia’s hands quickly slid down my back and onto my butt. I suppose Rina and I weren’t the only ones who had been on edge this morning… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, I //really// missed you~. We exchanged a couple of heated pecks in between the laughter. Rina joined in on Nia’s giggles as she came over to us, having finished settling in. …Wow, she really //had// made herself at home, dressed solely in just her tank top and spats, the rest of her workout outfit tightly sealed in a plastic bag next to her pack; Nia’s sudden arrival apparently a nonfactor for her getting comfortable. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ay! Came at the perfect time, Nia. We basically just got here too. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh yeah? Could’ve fooled me with how you’re dressed. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well, heh, Em told me to make myself at home…//and// it’s not like we’ll be needing the clothes soon anyways! So I figured, y’know, might as well get ready to hop in the shower (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Fair enough. I //could// tell you guys hadn’t done that yet, hehe. It reeks like a gym in here! Rina looked a little offended and pulled the loose upper hem of her top to her nose. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ah crap, really? I didn’t think we smelled //that// bad. I just bought a new deo too… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //Wellll~…// Oh right, I guess that hadn’t expressly come up yet, had it? Well, given Nia’s growing smirk and matching tone, Rina was about to learn something new and exciting about my beloved. Nia gleefully slipped from my grasp and bounced up to Rina, then promptly stuffed her face into Rina’s exposed cleavage. Rina looked down at Nia, utterly bewildered as the smaller girl took a //very// audible whiff of her crevice. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~When did I say it was a //bad// thing~? I was pretty sure that, at that moment, I could actually hear Rina’s last thread of patience snap. With barely a second’s pause, she hoisted Nia off her feet and pulled her into a ferocious kiss. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Haha, look what you did, Nia! You drove the poor girl up the wall~. Nia just barely managed to pry herself away to respond, moaning through her words as Rina bit her neck. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I , ~ah, couldn’t help it, heheh, you guys smell sooo good~! I couldn’t risk you taking a shower and washing it all away~! She entertained another eager kiss before putting her hand on Rina’s chest, somehow persuading the madly horny girl to put her down. She then slid down to her knees and gestured for us to come closer. Rina and I hastily followed her command as we stripped. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: You know, hehe, I get you like servicing, but at this rate we’re gonna need to buy you some damn knee pads. Nia tittered as she gently traced her respective hands along our abdominal muscles, drawing shivers from both of us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Maybe you should, cause I’m not planning to stop~. She deftly wrapped her hands around our hips and pulled, bringing our bodies together in a triangle— Rina and I side by side with Nia’s head between us, grinding our angled shafts against her face. Nia traded us back and forth in a blur of huffing breaths, kissing, licking, and sucking. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ohoho yeah~! I needed this //so// damn bad~... Rina groaned as Nia dove under her shaft, subjecting her entire length to an especially savored tongue drag. She wrapped her arm around my shoulder as she attempted to keep balance, grinding me against her chiseled frame. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Fuuuck Nia, you’re such a slut sometimes~... Nia gave my tip one last loud kiss, before pulling back and softly blowing on it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Only for you two~. Nia looked up at me and winked, then shifted her position. She unlocked our hips from her arms and straightened upright, then began giving us uneven handjobs; Rina’s cock getting slow, purposeful strokes along her entire shaft, while mine received only small, quick jerks with a finger and thumb. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I hope you don’t mind if I…give Rina a little more…love, Em~. She’s got //a lot// of dick, so it takes more focus for me to play with, hehe~. I could feel my pulse in my throat as I struggled to keep my head on straight. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I-I don’t mind at all, hun. Please do what you want~. A playful darkness filled Nia’s countenance as she shot me a devilish grin. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: If you insist~. She turned towards Rina and gave her titanic shaft the majority of her attention, jerking it harder and lavishing the swollen glans with a languid tongue bath. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~A-ahh~! She continued dwelling on Rina’s cock, intentionally granting me only the barest consideration; just enough that it could still be called a handjob. Despite that, her pinching grip somehow overwhelmed me even more than her blowjob had. Pinpricks danced along the back of my neck — it was all I could do to keep myself from cumming. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Gawd, you taste so ''good'' Rina. I’m so fucking glad I caught you before you showered~! And yet, my best effort wasn’t enough. As Nia uttered those words, I completely lost control; cumming all over her hand before I could even register what was happening. Whether it was the titillating switch in Nia’s attitude, Rina’s prior provocations, or all the waiting, I couldn’t say, all I knew was this was the hardest I’d cum all week. Nia and Rina stopped and stared at my penis as I coated my girlfriend’s hand, their expressions painted with dumbfounded arousal. The element of disbelief quickly evaporated though, and was replaced with a teasing mirth. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …~And I thought //I// was backed up, hehehe~! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Aww, hehe, Em, you little cutie~. Just couldn’t //contain// yourself, huh~? You were //supposed// to hold it till the main event! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I guess we’re just //too// much for him~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //~Seems that way~.// My face lit up in embarrassment. I knew they were only playing, but I was actually weathering some mild shame from just //how fast// I’d blown my load. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Aw, I think Em needs a minute. While he’s doing that, Nia, why don’t you put the extra…lube in your other hand to good use? No sense letting it go cold~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ohh, good thinking! Hehehe~! Nia pulled away and started jerking Rina off with both hands, all the while still peppering her tumescence with affectionate pecks. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Well Em, since you couldn’t help yourself, and my hands are //full// now, why don’t you do me a favor and…hold up one sec, hun. She paused, opting to shove a third of Rina’s member into her throat rather than finish her request. Rina buckled over with a gasp, and nearly held her there out of instinct, but a tap of the hand on Rina’s abs made it clear that wasn’t her intention. She pulled back, cleared her throat, and continued with her thought as if nothing had happened, thin strands of saliva still connecting the two of them while she spoke. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Hehe, do me a solid and give my pussy some love, kay~? We’re a lil //tight// on time, and I’m gonna need some help getting ready if Rina’s fitting inside me on such short notice~. Nia stuck her ass out as she solicited my aid, showing off how desperately her neglected, dripping sex desired me. My brain lit up in excitement; not only was it a little humiliating that my quick shot had led to me being downgraded to Nia’s warm up — an unexpected, yet wholly welcome addition to the roleplay — but it had been a long time since I’d had the chance to really eat out Nia. While it was true she was the one with a foreplay kink, I was going to remind her that she wasn’t the only one who enjoyed digging into their partner. With great haste I crawled onto my back and slid under Nia’s ass, which she quickly used to bury my face. I defaulted to all of Nia’s favorites — enthusiastically tracing and sucking her folds, and gently prodding her clitoris. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mmphf~! She pulled her mouth off of Rina’s soaking cockhead as she caught her breath. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Haah, good boy Em~! Heheh-hahh~, oh I //missed this~.// That’s sooo good~! She gyrated her hips, eagerly pressing my tongue deep inside her. She met my eyes between her legs as she continued grinding; the two of us shared a loving gaze amidst the sex and sweat, enjoying the unique connection afforded by this moment in time. I felt so, so lucky. And yet, a glint in her eyes told me she knew I hadn’t had nearly enough, and told me she felt the same way. Nia’s predatory look graced me, and I knew things were about to escalate dramatically. How, though, I couldn’t have guessed. [[“Quiet” interlude]]

(text-colour:green)[Nia]: Rina and I’re gonna have a minute of privacy, kay? Some //girls talk//. Don’t stop though, I still need your help~. Nia tightened her legs around my head without giving me a chance to respond, smothering my ears until I couldn’t make anything out. She leaned back and beckoned Rina to come forward, angling themselves so that they were an equal distance over my face. It was hard to tell exactly what they were doing above me. My hearing was drowned out by the grip of Nia’s thick thighs, as well as the sounds of my tongue inside of her, while my sight was mostly blocked off by Nia's tits and Rina’s massive package. Nia seemed to be talking an awful lot, expressively gesturing and smiling as she worked on the dick that took up so much of our shared real estate. She giggled and waved something off with a flick of her wrist, seemingly dismissing whatever it was. She then narrowed her eyes and quirked her brow, then reached under Rina and squeezed her partner’s palm filling balls as she lovingly tongued the leaking slit. Droplets fell on my face as their sloppy make-out session commenced, and not just from where my two partners met. The space between Rina’s thighs was absolutely drenched, dripping her own fluids as she endured Nia’s tender ministrations. A rare spark of jealousy gave me a head rush as I watched them, bringing my arousal to even greater heights. I didn’t know where it came from, nor was I even sure what I was feeling jealous towards, but I wasn’t going to fight the accompanying high. I dug into Nia’s pussy and focused on her clit, swirling it around and pinching the swollen bud in my lips. A violent tremor wracked Nia’s body, and she loosened her grip on my head as I watched her composure crumble. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: -AAH~, haah…haah…Eheh, easy Em~! You almost made me cum! She moved like she was going to stand, but she slouched over and she stayed put. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Rina, can you help me stand up…? My legs were already starting to fall asleep, and Em got me all noodly just now. Nia took hold of Rina’s strong arms and rose unsteadily from my face. After a minute of stabilizing, they both reached a hand down for me to take as well. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: C’mon quick shot~, only an hour or so before we gotta call it. I cleared my throat as they helped me stand up, trying to shake the thick layers of fluid I’d swallowed while pleasuring Nia. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Damn, already? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sadly. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Was that what you guys were talking about? To my surprise, both Rina and Nia blushed awkwardly at my question. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uhhh, well actually, um… Nia interrupted Rina’s stammering with her own manic, flirtatious answer. She circled around me and wrapped herself around my chest as she spoke, whispering into my ear once she reached her destination. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: We //did// mention it, yeah, but mostly we talked about the sex~. Y’know, the little things: how adorable my little “quick shot” looked while prepping me, how tasty you two are…a couple things I’ll keep a secret…for Rina’s sake, heheh~. She pinched my nipples as she recounted the dirty details of their conversation, my dick twitching harder with each new addition. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I was actually //just// saying we should move to the bed, cause we both wanted our first orgasm of the day to be with Rina’s cock inside me~. See, I could actually fucking //feel// her filling out the condoms last time, and, well, I’ll be honest hun, I’ve been thinking about that ''a lot''~. She pulled back and playfully slapped the back of my head, giving me a fake pout as she put her hands on her hips. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: But you almost //ruined// that, ya ass! Hehehe, not that I didn’t appreciate it~. I ju-! Nia’s banter was cut short as Rina picked us up under her arms, her face stressed and both her sexes leaking with need all over the floor. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …I-I’m sorry to interrupt, but your flirting is driving me nuts. If I don’t bust one soon I’m gonna fucking lose it. Nia and I were the ones who absolutely lost it, laughing hysterically while suspended in Rina’s arms. Our heaving captor looked around the living room as we did, unsure where to go to find her much needed release. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Down the hall on your left, then the middle door on the right. - Rina started moving as soon as she knew which door held her destination. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: - The first one is the closet, the third is the bathroom. The sliding doors on the other side are the laundry. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sorry Em, you’re gonna need ta tell me all that later. I literally didn’t hear a word you just said… My fellow prisoner and I smiled at each other, giggling like mischievous children. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: What are we going to do with her? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, I dunno about you, but hopefully it involves me getting railed~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: At this point, I’m pretty sure nothing other than the safeword would stop that from happening. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ohhh nooo~! [[An unexpected escalation]]

My love’s arms were wrapped tightly around my thighs, trying and failing to brace herself as Rina slammed into her with complete abandon. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Haah! Augh, I’m so fucking close~! Just a little more, Nia~! Nia squeaked out a weak reply of confirmation, drowning far too deeply in her own orgasm to respond properly. Their plans to finish together quickly flew out the window as we began in earnest. Nia had started cumming almost as soon as Rina hit her depths. She didn’t have much chance, to be fair. Her body was already on a knife’s edge, which, combined with the uniqueness of back wall stimulation and her naturally high sensitivity, had utterly sealed her fate. Rina, on the other hand, had unfortunately hit a second wind while waiting for us to start, and couldn’t quite manage the peak she needed for relief… The resulting sex was an impatient and off-tempo mashing of bodies; Nia locked in a brutal barrage of shallow chain orgasms as Rina roughly attempted to finish. Nia’s head slammed against my lap, gasping as she sought some kind of purchase against her partner’s merciless onslaught. Her expression twisted in a mad ecstasy, and her mouth hung carelessly. Rina matched her perfectly in this moment, desperate and sweating as her hair caught her lips and matted against skin. As sexy as it was to see them overwhelmed like this though, it also left me slightly troubled. Watching the two of them on either end of the extreme, cumming too much and not cumming at all, made me feel like we were unwittingly part of some cosmic BDSM performance. Another deep thrust snapped Nia back to semi-consciousness, and myself from my wandering mind. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //AAH~...! FUH-UCK~! Emmmmm~! I f-uh, feel like my g-ugh…god d-damn brain is melting~! Rinaaa, puh--please! Is too~oo much! I…I caa~an’t! $swv!// Nia’s voice gave out after crying the safety phrase and Rina grimaced, stopping her thrusts as concern for Nia painted her. She moved to pull out, but Nia grabbed her and held her in place. Rina didn’t fight it, and settled for holding herself as deep inside Nia as she could while waiting. She leaned over us, heaving and shivering as she tried her hardest to stay still. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Auugh~! Nia shakily clutched her abdomen and slowly rubbed her hands along the toned muscles, massaging everything within it, including — much to the inserted girl’s chagrin — Rina herself. Even if she wasn’t yet prepared, or even able, to properly voice them, Nia made her desires unmistakably known. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Haaah… oh god…//~ahhh~//… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Sh-hiiit… S…sorry about this Nia, I’ve…never… Nia shook her head, still lacking the composure necessary to rebut Rina’s apology. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heh…eheheh, i-is this what they mean when they say something's "like heaven and hell”…? I… I think I’m gonna go crazy if this keeps up… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~S-same…I… Nia covered her face with a hand and swallowed as she finally caught her breath. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Are you sure you’re okay, hun? You’ve been panting really hard. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Y-yesh…waaay better…than okay…I just…ugh…gimme a sec… I thought I was gonna die… Nia went limp in my lap and stared blankly up at me. After a short grace period, her eyes shifted quizzically to Rina, then back to me again; flitting between the two of us as an idea evidently took shape. Her blush deepened, and a piece of her seemed to struggle, but, eventually, she found the strength to speak up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I f-feel bad though…making you two wait while I recoup… H-hey, Rina…? Would you wanna, um…take me up on //that// offer? Right now? Rina looked at her still in half-delirium, unsure of what she meant. Following Nia’s eyes, however, Rina appeared to pick up on whatever she had implied by that. A blazing embarrassment — and something more behind that — filled Rina’s face as she gazed towards me, apparently shaken by this mystery preposition. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …I…uhh…a-are you sure…? I-I thought you were joking when you said that! You said last week you were too - (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Girl…we’re running outta time, and there’s no chance in hell you’re gonna get through the day if you can’t shoot a load or two…right? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I mean, yeah, but…we can’t do //that//. C-cause, y’know…then you won’t have the support! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Aight, you have a point… Maybe just your…tits, then? Rina bit her lip, arousal battling less direct emotions as she considered whatever they were referring to. I looked between them, my horny mind thoroughly stumped by this change of tone. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’ll take that as a yes… My love took a deep breath and then looked into my eyes, a nervous clarity shining through her otherwise unfocused green pools. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em, you sit on my face this time. I wanna eat your ass…while you, um, play with Rina’s tits…as she’s fucking me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: //…Hmm…?// My already short circuiting brain completely fizzled out, struggling to digest the new information it had been fed. What? So…Nia wanted me to…grope Rina, while she gave me analingus…? Half of the request made sense. Nia craving some anal play was nothing new. She had, in fact, just asked for this the other day after our sexting session got her fired up. But…playing with Rina’s tits? Requesting //I// pleasure our partner? I reeled at that, more than I felt like I should. It wasn’t like it was that outlandish an ask — downright virginal, as far sexual acts went; she simply wanted me to go to second base with Rina. While //they// fucked, at that. It was basically just nudging our group session closer to threesome territory. If anything, this was more standard than what we’d been doing thus far… I backtracked my thoughts. Yes, It wasn’t that this was that out there, or that I even had an issue with it — as a matter of fact, I actually found the idea incredibly arousing. I’d like to think I’m sexually open, and I’ve always thought Rina was beautiful. Us mutually reciprocating with our partner had been one of my secret fantasies since we first considered this, especially once Rina was our partner choice… It was just…where had Nia’s scrupulous gone? It had taken so long to work through her hang ups with the play…convincing her that she wouldn't be a bad person for doing it…with everything from high school fueling that… What happened? Up to this point, Nia gave the impression that she wanted my attention to be focused on her. Even if it was in the context of her showing off to me, I had always assumed she was supposed to be the star. It was, I thought, her way of setting a personal boundary, and I’d long accepted that. Had Rina’s…intimate interaction with me yesterday changed her mind? She did take that surprisingly well, but…I interpreted that as being different in her mind. Rina had done that spontaneously, and she had even apologized afterwards. This time //Nia// was the one initiating it… I wasn’t sure why this bothered me so much. It wasn't that I was unhappy Nia seemed to feel less possessive now…it wasn’t. I just…never expected it to come up, much less like this, in the heat of the moment. It seemed so sudden, and made me feel like a distance had opened between Nia and I without my knowing. It…uprooted things I thought I understood about her… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Is that a no? Am I going too far…? I was shaken from my reverie by Nia’s sheepish question. She and Rina watched me carefully, worry etched into their blushing faces as they tried to gauge whether or not I was okay with the idea. I took a breath and centered myself. This wasn’t the time to get caught in my head, this was the time to get lost in the moment. Nia obviously cared, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so hesitant about it. This was a testament to our hard fought communication, to our mutual trust. The fact she proposed this was a good thing. Asking for things shows she's involved. Besides, maybe she was just feeling this out. We could always hash out the details later. She was still the Nia I loved, even if she had changed without me knowing. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry, you guys took me by surprise. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So…? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, let’s do it! Relief painted them, their shoulders slumping as the extra tension unwound from their bodies. I gave Nia a long kiss, then quickly raised my ass over her face as Rina braced against my shoulders. The two of us looked at each other up close, our shy puffs washing over each other’s faces. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: H-hey good lookin’, come here often? Rina’s awkward smile bloomed as she tried to alleviate the anxiety she was obviously feeling. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not as - My quippy response died before it had a chance to live, as Nia’s arms wrapped around my legs and her tongue slipped deep into my ass. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Woah! Ooh~! Rina’s face lit up as she took in my blissful expression. She shook with need and bit her lip, then leaned in towards me, pushing deeper into Nia as she shifted. The resulting moans from Nia traveled deep into my body as my love’s mouth vibrated, causing me to double over and bury myself in Rina’s pillowy breasts. I made an effort to pull myself from her soft, sweaty mounds, but, before I could, Rina took control; locking my head in place and thrusting wildly into Nia I was completely surrounded by Rina now; the sound of her heart hammering ran through my ears, her heavy scent filled my nose, and her soft skin smothered my vision. I was grounded only by the powerful rocking of Rina and Nia’s sex, their moaning and pounding literally resonating through every angle of my body and shaking my core. While this was enjoyable, however, now that this was —at least to some degree — a threeway I was not content to merely act as a distraction through which they endured their sex. While we were entertaining this dynamic, I was going to make damn sure they felt my presence! I reached up and began playing with Rina’s ample breasts. I eased into it by rubbing the sides, careful to avoid anything too ticklish or close to the armpit. I slowly made my way down, massaging her with my fingers and listening for any especially positive noises. This was difficult, given she was currently ten or so inches inside my girlfriend’s pussy, but my years of experience were enough to parse what I needed. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ooh! You’re //so// tight, Nia~! Ah~! My nips, Em! Play with them more~! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Like this~? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Yes! //R-riiiight there//~! That’s the good shit~. Wow, I guess Nia wasn’t the only sensitive one in our party. I gently rolled Rina’s nubs around in my fingers, switching between pinching them directly and softly pulling them along with her sizable areola. This elicited another spirited moan from Rina. Yep, her nipples were definitely one of her sweet spots. And speaking of sweet spots, my entire lower body was now abuzz with an intense, involuntary thrumming. Nia was giving me no rest, her tongue prying open every ridge and causing a powerful force to build in my prostate. A steady stream of pre was leaking down my dick, pooling on Nia’s chest. At this rate I was going to cum without even touching myself, and, given how much she liked to tease, I was almost positive that was Nia’s exact intention…not that I was going to discourage it. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Aah~ Oh! A l-little more on the front, Nia~! The three of us bounced our stimulations around, creating a ricochet where one’s pleasure became another’s. It was all I could do to stay focused on Rina’s tits. Thankfully though, my efforts did not need to last much longer. All of our cries and groans fed into an eventual crescendo, reaching a peak as our bodies all tightened against each other. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: //~Ooohh! Ah!// Oh god Nia, this is gonna be a big one~! Tighten up! I-I ah~ want you to feel //every single rope//! Nia went wild inside me, and Rina’s upper body propped up mine as she plowed Nia’s depths. Her enthusiastic thrusting was strong enough to eventually leverage me out of her tits, until I turned upward and met her face to face. Rina and I stared at each other, time seeming to slow in the moment. Her face was a mess of horny ecstacy. As she looked at me though, she wore a surprisingly innocent smile. That was the last clear thought I had before Rina pulled me in, locking us into a blurry, sloppy kiss as she //finally//, furiously unloaded inside Nia. I could feel Rina’s pumping throb through both their bodies, which pushed me off the edge and into my own. My eyes rolled back and my mind went blank, the powerful anal orgasm tearing away any remaining sense of reason I had as I fully embraced Rina’s lips and showered Nia with semen. [[Shower talk]]

We sat in a lopsided pile under the water’s warmth, dazed and silent. Nia and Rina held me on either side, the three of us wrapped together as we enjoyed our intimate, albeit awkwardly tight, afterglow. My shower was, to put it generously, not suitable for three people. Nia and I often struggled to stretch out in here at the best of times, so someone of Rina’s size on top of that was pushing the enclosed space to its limits. None of us seemed to care much about that at the moment though, we had too many other things to consider. The air between us was…stilted, that was probably the best word for it. Things weren't exactly strained, or really negative at all if our affectionate group hug was any indication, just…off, like everyone was stuck in their own heads. I opted to break the silence. Much as I would’ve loved to be embraced by their supple forms until the water ran cold, we did not have time for that. Nor, despite the discomfort it may cause, was it healthy for us to stay quiet when we plainly needed to talk about what happened earlier. Clearing my throat, I gauged the two of them and motioned to stand. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You two mind if I wash up before you? I should go first, since I’m the smallest. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Go for it, hun. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: After you, short stuff. A small smile passed between them at their synchronous answer. That was a good sign. There definitely wasn’t any bad blood, they just weren’t sure how to broach the subject. All we needed to do was make the environment a little more welcoming, and things would follow from there. But how? Perhaps it was all our sexting and selfies, or Nia’s predilections were rubbing off on me, but the first idea that came to mind was giving the girls a show. We were already naked, and there weren’t any downsides as far as I could tell. At worst, I would make an ass of myself and lighten the mood. I slowly raised my body, giving my impromptu audience a good view of //everything// my body had to offer them. Once my hips were at their rough eye level, and I’d thoroughly drizzled myself in body wash, I swayed around once…twice…three times more. I allowed my hands to explore every crease of my body vigorously, moving under the paper thin illusion that I was merely utilizing my hygiene product to its fullest. And it certainly was effective. I felt their eyes scan over me. Their stares had remained polite at first, but, as I showed them what I was working with, they grew progressively more and more lecherous. It wasn’t long until an animalistic hunger once more colored their faces. I grinned to myself, satisfied with the knowledge that my muscle memory for this kind of thing hadn’t completely decayed. I positioned my growing erection within an inch of their faces, then leaned over the girls with my hands on my hips as I shot them a flirty smirk. It was fun feeling on top for once in our relationship, even if I was now in the running for world’s girliest chippendale. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You two cuties see something you like~? Nia and Rina laughed softly and looked up at me with starry eyes, barely able to contain their lust as they eagerly nodded. Again, I found myself sympathizing with Rina and Nia’s position in our play. Maybe I was more of a switch than I thought? Or maybe, just like Nia, I liked the attention. I chuckled at the thoughts as I admired their stares; it really was charming seeing them so riled up. I was especially interested in just how //invested// Rina seemed, and was almost tempted to just let things run their course — to see where my seduction led in the heat of the moment…but, as nice as that sounded, it wasn’t in the cards. Sexy or not, we had responsibilities to fulfill. I quickly pulled away from their faces, before deftly sitting between them once again. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well too bad~! Hehe, we’ve got a schedule to keep! They both immediately groaned in sexual frustration; Nia crossing her arms with a pout, while Rina closed her eyes and leaned against the shower wall. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I know I know, I’m sorry. But hey, now that you’re both pissed at me, maybe you’re up to talking about what was on your minds? I don’t want anyone to end the session with a knot in their stomach. I stayed quiet as they visibly mulled it over, hoping my attempted outreach would bear fruit. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait too long. Nia sighed and nodded her head, then stood up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re right. I’ll wash while we talk. Gotta get a move on…and, to be honest, it’s easier to think about this while I’m doing something. Nia got to work cleaning herself. She was mostly business, but she did sprinkle in the occasional tease of her charming curves. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So…I’m sorry I kinda sprang that on you two at the last sec. Earlier, when I was covering your ears Em, I got Rina all riled up by saying that…well, I dunno, I thought, since you were eating me out right then, it would be hot if I said I could lend your mouth to her next time… As, y’know, a like, reward for her if she came really hard for me, or something…? I-I was just teasing when I first said it, I promise! It’s…well… Nia stammered as she explained, surprising me with just how flustered she seemed by her recount. She didn’t usually have trouble with this kind of thing, even if she sometimes struggled with her phrasing. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You know me Em, I…//really, really// get off on cum encouragement! I got way too horny brained while fucking and wasn’t thinking straight. We needed to finish //so bad//, and… Nia started to scrub her head, speaking faster as she roughly lathered the thick red locks. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Man, it sounds so stupid now that I say it. I’m totally just making excuses. I know that wasn’t cool, to just offer you up like that. Me liking it isn’t - I put a hand on Nia’s leg and she instantly froze up, stopping in her tracks. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hun, it’s okay. It’s not stupid. You’re okay. Everything you’re saying makes sense, and nothing you did today bothered me. Nia let out a sigh of frustration and slapped her hands against her sides. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: But then that makes me kinda…augh sorry, I'm being super weird, I'm just...I'm not //really// sure yet. Why I wanted to do that, or…where that came from, I mean. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about everything...what I liked about it, and all that stuff…I think I’m also feeling kinda guilty that I made us wait for today. I feel like I ruined it by rushing us… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey, hey, deep breaths hun. It’s no big deal, and no harm done. It got a little hectic, but we all had a good time today. Right, Rina? I sought support from our partner, who had at some point, despite remaining seated, began lathering her hair as well. Her face was buried under a mass of hair and shampoo. She spit out a little of the soap and tried to uncover her mouth. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Y-yeah! I’m glad we waited to fuck today, it was awesome! …Not gonna lie, I //was// hella surprised you were okay with me and Em getting… She waved her arms in the air as she fumbled for the words. It felt to me like she was being cautious about how she said it. Was she trying to be mindful of Nia’s unease? If so, I really appreciated the effort. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …well, getting //touchy//, but it was a super fun change of pace! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Haha, yeah that was great! I was really surprised, but I guess we’re all discovering new things about each other! Nia blushed hard once again, then adopted a crooked smile as she sat back down beside us. Rina stood up as soon as the space was available for her, quickly jumping face first into the stream and rinsing off her suds. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah…about that… How was it? The uh…the kiss? This time it was our turn to blush, though it was hard to tell for sure through Rina’s mass of hair. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Which one? The one Rina was giving me, or the one //you// were giving me? Nia purred at the memory. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I //know// mine was good, I’m still finding slippery spots you left on my girls hehe. I meant, y’know, you and Rina’s. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehe, well, alongside my cumming hands-free, your tongue in my ass, and being squished between Rina’s massive breasts, it was pretty great. I’d tell you Rina’s a good kisser, but you knew that already. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heheh, I can’t deny~. Rina sat down next to us again, cramming us all back together once more. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What about you, Rina? My boy’s performance meet your expectations? Heheh, with the goddamn cannon ball of cum you shot into me, I have a feeling I know the answer~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Eheheh, was it //that// much more than usual? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Dude, did you //see// the condom? You practically knocked the wind outta me hahaha! Rina’s blush deepened and her dick twitched at Nia’s exclamation. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hah, with such a violent description you wouldn’t think we were talking about someone cumming. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Right? Hehe, it’s kinda nuts. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah well, so was today…heh. Rina rubbed her hands along her thighs and smiled shyly. It was a little more timid than her usual responses, but that was fair. Rina was pretty shy about the first time Nia and I asked her to join us, after all. In her own way, she was probably still adjusting. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sounds like a positive review to me! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sure does! I looked at the bathroom clock and stretched. Where //did// the time go? I got up, stepped out of the shower, and started getting our towels ready. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Anything you guys want to talk about? Nia turned off the shower and hopped out, snatching one of the large cloths away as she shook from the cold. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, I think I’m good to go. Rina? Rina got out slowly, shaking off a bit and rubbing her face with her hands. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Nope, I’m good too! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright! Glad to hear we all had fun, midpoint hurdles aside hehe. Was it worth the extra struggle? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Definitely! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Definitely! We all laughed as they once again responded in almost perfect unison. [[Rina POV: Crushing]] [[Nia’s busy week]]

Man, what was up? I’d felt pretty okay when I was leaving Em’s place, but since then I’ve been feeling more and more like crap. An unease built in my gut with every step…did my leftovers go bad, or…? I sighed and buried my head in my hands for what must have been the dozenth time. Who was I kidding? I knew //exactly// what was up… Okay, //maybe// I had a bit of a crush on Em…so? I knew that coming into this, why did that suddenly matter? Things weren’t any different now. They weren’t. Em was just, maybe…probably…absolutely gonna be more physically involved than I thought, that’s all. No big deal! Sure, at the time I was under the impression that it was just gonna be Nia and I boning; and sure, these two weeks had been the best sex of my life…and yeah, sure, just remembering Em kissing me while I came inside Nia made fireworks go off in my brain… … Fine, had things gone in a direction I wasn’t expecting? Yup, definitely couldn’t deny that… But It’s not like this turn of events really, fundamentally changed anything…right? (text-colour:navy)[//Liar.//] I was still the same as before. It’s not like knowing the play would turn out this way would’ve changed my answer. Definitely not. (text-colour:navy)[//It should.//] Yeah, maybe that’s because I was secretly hoping it would go in this direction, but what about it? (text-colour:navy)[//You’re so greedy.//] They didn’t need to know that. Did feeling that way make me such a bad person? (text-colour:navy)[//Yep, it did.//] The wave of nausea that had been steadily building up finally hit me, coming down like a ton of bricks and threatening to pull me into the undertow. I steadied myself on the wall of my apartment complex as my vision swam. C’mon, get a hold of yourself Rina. Don’t think about it, just ignore it. You’re almost home. You need to pull it together. You have work today, and you know what's going to happen if you get fired… You could mope about this later. (text-colour:navy)[//Mope? What gives you the right to feel bad for yourself? You pine after your best friend, you lie to him and his girlfriend — who’s also supposed to be your friend, by the way — and fuck her instead? Like some kind of consolation prize? You’re not acting like a real friend, you’re just using them; tricking them.//] It…it wasn’t like that… It’s just an unrequited crush, it didn’t matter. Lots of people had them. I wasn’t weird, and I wasn’t planning to say anything about it. What they didn’t know couldn’t hurt them. I’d just keep it to myself. I do that with stuff all the time, everybody does. What’s one more thing to put a lid on? (text-colour:navy)[//Was it really just one more thing?//] Memories of our previous aftercare sessions flooded my mind. Em and Nia telling me that it was okay to open up. The comfort of having people who //actually// wanted to hear my opinions. Em rubbing my back. Nia smoothing over my awkwardness. Our group hugs. The warmth of the shower, the way they both casually worked to diffuse the tension while I just stayed quiet. The way they always talked things out…as a team… My eyes burned. (text-colour:navy)[//A team you aren’t a part of. Why are you pretending? Because you’re lonely? Disgusting. You’re only making due with their bodies. What the fuck is wrong with you? No normal person would do this, not after all your fuck ups. You’re just asking for a repeat of last semester.//] Blood roared in my ears. Fucking…dammit! I should’ve said something while I was over, now I feel like shit! …This…this is why they wanted me to share. I knew that and I still didn’t. I’m so stupid! I should have told them something…at least a little bit…anything…//anything// to stop this feeling. (text-colour:navy)[//You know you couldn’t say anything. You shouldn't. You want to put your baggage on them?//] Please, I just don’t want to feel this way anymore. Every fucking day! I’m so tired of it! I want the way I feel when I’m with them. I want the feeling I get…when we kiss… My heart caught in my throat. (text-colour:navy)[//You’re vile. A selfish nymphomaniac. Do you really want to ruin another relationship?//] … (text-colour:navy)[//…No, of course you don’t…even if you are a perverted freak who’d enjoy it. Keeping your mouth shut was for the best. You’d lose your toys if you didn’t. They’d hate you if they knew what you really are, just like everyone else.//] …No! They wouldn’t do that! They’re not like that. They wouldn’t talk to me if they were… I…I //know// they’re not like that… (text-colour:navy)[//“Like that”? Like it’s their fault they’d feel that way? Yeah right, keep coping. It would be a perfectly reasonable response when something like you tries to fuck up their life.//] I’m not doing that! They’ve accepted everything about me. They’re okay with Em’s fetishes, why not mine? Even Nia’s getting into it! The way she acted today…we all overlap! Even some of the porn - (text-colour:navy)[//Didn’t Nia tell you to know your place? These two weeks have really gone to your head. How conceited can you get? You are nothing like him…like them. They talk to each other, you play it off…you pretend and try to laugh it away. The dynamics are different, it would never be the same.//] No! It could be! We're meshing well! They said they wanted me to be honest with them, and I’m working on it! (text-colour:navy)[//No, you aren’t. You don’t mean it, and neither do they. That’s something people say to be polite. They're using you, just like you’re using them. You’re something they tolerate for their kinks, an annoying stepping stone for their relationship; just like with Rosa and Mich. All you are is another dildo for them.//] NO! //NO NO NO!// SHUT THE FUCK UP! THEY AREN’T LIKE THOSE FUCKING ASSHOLES! …! A loud clatter jerked me back to reality…my water bottle hit the floor? I looked around, confused. I found myself face down on the couch, all my coaching supplies scattered around the room…guess I made it inside at some point...? Wait… Oh shit! Panic suddenly gripped me as I stumbled around the dark living room. Where was my phone!? What time was it!? I dug through my stuff until I found my cell, buried beneath my coaching gear and this morning’s workout clothes. Oh…oh thank god, it was only eleven-thirty. There was still some time before I had to get dressed and head to work. I fell back onto the couch and scrolled through my phone, trying to calm down. A few new messages and a voicemail caught my attention. That was good, those would distract me. I pulled up the voicemail first. It was from Ross, my senior coach at Nesbin’s elementary. Thankfully there wasn’t anything too important. He just needed to let me know about a change in schedule, as well as who I was doing one on one work with today. As he droned on in his bored monotone, a couple of kids in the back heard him talking to me and called out, asking if I was coming in today. He tried to ignore their pestering, but, after they started trying to talk over him, he quickly buckled. A chorus of clumsy greetings filtered through the receiver before leaving Ross to finish, it wasn’t anything grandiose; still, my heart seized all the same. I let myself smile a little as I looked up at the ceiling. What I wouldn’t give to be as straightforward as those kids… …Why couldn’t I be like them? The only thing stopping me was…me. I felt my teeth grit and a fire burn inside me. I needed to do better. If I kept acting so pathetic, I really was going to make everyone hate me. I wouldn’t live like that again…I couldn’t. I stood up with my newfound vigor, turning on the lights and cleaning up all the crap I’d scattered on my way in. I opened my blackout curtains and let the blinding midday light burn away the darkness. I was going to do it! I was going to come clean, I was going to talk to Em and Nia about this! They’d understand! I knew they would! I was going to change myself for the better! I wasn’t going to live like this anymore! I sat down and looked at my phone, opened up our texting app, and then…! The messages I’d seen earlier were from our group chat. It was Nia and Em, saying how much fun they’d had. How much they were looking forward to seeing me tomorrow, that they were “so excited for next weekend”... I stared blankly at the screen, heat draining from my limbs. Hold on…now that I think about it… What would I even say…? I had to think of that first, right? That isn’t something you just bring up out of the blue. I’d hurt more than I’d help if I was hasty. I had to wait a bit, for their sake too. … Actually, maybe…maybe it wasn’t the right time to tell them about this… I didn’t have to do that yet. I would, but later. When we were all a little closer. Right now, I just…had to pull my head out of my ass, otherwise we couldn’t be on the same team. I just needed to be more generally honest, to communicate like they do. I’d make it work. I didn’t need to say everything to do that. I swallowed the lump in my throat, covering my mouth with a trembling hand as I tried to keep it down. I looked away from my phone, ashamed. …What was I thinking…? I almost made a huge mistake. I wasn’t going to ruin things this time. I’d think about it, decide what I want to say, then…I’ll get the rest figured out later. I didn’t need a rigid plan, this wasn’t on a time limit. It was fine. (text-colour:navy)[//…What a joke.//] [[Nia’s busy week]]

The next week, unfortunately, was nothing to laugh about. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: Can’t do today either 😞 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:10pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: Sorry 😢 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:11pm] I sighed as I texted back, trying to reassure her that there were more important things to worry about right now, and that she wasn’t disappointing me. Leaning back into my desk chair, I pondered what to do besides study with all this newfound free time. For the umpteenth time this week, our plans to meet up had been canceled due to Nia’s schedule. It was already Wednesday and I hadn’t so much as seen her outside of walking to and from school together, and even that had been an endeavor in planning. Apparently, the situation Nia’s parents were weathering at work had really been a disaster. They had to leave on an emergency trip out of state until late Friday, and, as a result, Nia had been forced to take care of all her siblings by herself. If that weren’t bad enough, someone had quit suddenly at Nia’s work, leaving her and her more flexible co-workers to cover all the now vacant shifts. Stuck between her final year culinary courses, filling in at the pub, and taking care of four other people, Nia was running ragged. I had offered to help, but there was only so much I could do. While I had a decent rapport with Eve, and Anton liked having people over, Tite and Edith didn’t feel comfortable with me staying there overnight. I understood, though it hurt. Despite being babies when Nia and I got together — the perfect age for me to have grown up with them as an adult brother figure, or even as a pseudo-parent — they didn’t know me very well. They had never been given the chance to bond with me… Nia’s parents had always been more…suburban, to put it nicely, leading to them being more insular and traditional; they kept their cards close to their chest at all times, and that had only become more so the case with time. Not to say they //explicitly// disapproved of my and Nia’s relationship — it was, after all, by their //somewhat// permissive nature amongst her wider family that Nia could still stay connected to her siblings after the debacle with us and her grandparents — but there had always been a line that I, being who I am, simply couldn’t cross… The end result of all this was my options to directly help Nia were limited. I texted her positive affirmations multiple times a day, and dropped off extra portioned lunches and dinners for them when I could to give her a break from the kitchen. I wanted to do more, but, given my own hectic schedule and the distance I was required to permit her family, this was the extent of what I could provide without toppling my house of cards. Another sigh escaped me as I dwelled on our circumstances. I flipped through my phone, seeking something to alleviate the mire of impotent frustration and boredom I stewed in. Dammit, I wish I could do something…hmm? A few DMs from Rina caught my attention. (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Hey…is there something we can do for Nia? She just DMed me and canceled our session rehearsal for the like, sixth time. (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:14pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: I told her it was all good, but (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:14pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: ngl I’m starting to get a lil worried about her (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:15pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: She seems like (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:15pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Crazy swamped rn 😬 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:15pm] It seemed I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. (text-colour:blue)[SpiritoftheLibrary]: I was just thinking about that, but I’m at a loss on what to do for her. (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:17pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: 🤔 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:18pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Think Lucy would have any ideas? (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 4:18pm] Lucy…? Now that she mentioned it, it was a great idea to ask Lucy! How could I have been so blind? Lucy has known Nia for longer than I have, and got close with her family before they became more reclusive. Assuming she wasn’t busy, she might be able to go over to Nia’s home and help. Not only that, she would allow us to stay out of the situation directly while providing us with feedback on what Nia may need. Lucy was the ''perfect'' person for the job! A molten kernel of ire boiled within me despite this prospective good outcome. I had been so focused on what //I// could do for Nia, I didn’t truly entertain asking anyone else for help. If only I’d talked with Rina about this sooner, and been less self-centered in my desire to help, then maybe we could’ve made things easier on Nia sooner… I resolved to examine that part of myself at a later date. Now wasn’t the time for navel gazing, it was time for action. I inundated Rina with a flurry of messages, praising her wit and planning our next move. We needed to meet up with Lucy ASAP. [[A plan comes together]]

After a short series of back and forths, Rina, Lucy, and myself all met up at the nearby park. We sat around a picnic table and discussed Nia’s current situation. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Aaahhh man, that frickin’ girl… Lucy facepalmed after we finished relaying the greater details to her. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: I thought she was being weird the last few days. I didn’t think it was anything //this// bad though. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I can’t believe she didn’t tell you about it. Lucy’s blue eyes flashed with long held annoyance as she dragged her hand down her face, errant locks of her short blond hair pulled into a lopsided fringe. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: I can! Grrr, that girl has always been so bad about this kinda shit! I propped my head in my hands and nodded, sympathizing heavily with her grievance. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Easy, Luce. I know where you’re coming from. It’s undeniably frustrating, but you know how she is…she means well. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Haah I //know//, that’s why it pisses me off so much. Girl could afford to be a little more selfish when it matters. There was something to be said for that. Though selflessness was often touted as a virtue, people who gave up too much only hurt themselves and those around them… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well that’s what we’re here for now, ain’t it? Lucy gave Rina an elated smile and slapped her hand on the table, its creaking rivets and aged wood producing a clattering slam to match her shifting mood. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Amen to that, sister! We’re gonna give her a hand whether she wants it or not! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Mayyyybe not that far. Let’s not go too overboard. We don’t wanna upset her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hmmm, I get what you mean… (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Nuope! We’re going balls deep on this! Though she’d expressly disagreed with our perspectives, I couldn’t help but chuckle at Lucy’s behavior. She was always so gungho, it never seemed to matter what issue she was tackling. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hahh, as usual Lucy, you don’t seem too concerned about stepping on Nia’s toes. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Yeah nah, I’ll happily step on em. She’ll get over it, haha. I mean sure, she’ll prolly bitch about it when I show up at her place and just start helping out, but she won’t stop me. I’ve known her and her family way too long for that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheh, fair enough. Can’t say I hate the attitude. If I were in Nia’s shoes I’d appreciate a heavy handed approach like that. Lucy leaned back in her chair and took a sip of her soda, eying Rina and I as she did. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: I know you’re anal about that kinda thing Em, and, don’t get me wrong, it’s good to be that way, but there’re also times to just go in without thinking too much. Yeah, I can be a lil pushy, but Nia needs a bit of that. There’s room for both approaches. I do my part //my// way, you guys do your part //your// way. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well that’s part of the problem. It sounds like you know what you’re doing, but Em and I are still figuring out what we wanna do. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: What? You guys aren’t gonna fuck her brains out or something so she can destress? Rina choked on her drink and started coughing, while my whole body tensed up as I struggled to process Lucy’s suggestion. She had said it sarcastically, like a joke, and her expression said as much. Once it was clear the effect it had on us was past the stage of deniability, however, her jabbing smile grew into one of heated intrigue. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: ~Oh~, hahaha, no shit? So you guys ''are'' actually //doing it//, then? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I…uh, w-where did- Lucy’s laughing grew even louder than her usual — a feat which always managed to impress me — as she waved her hand in a trivializing gesture. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Sorry, sorry, that wasn’t fair of me. I’ll save you the headache and just spill it; Nia had to let something slip last Thursday so that I wouldn’t grill her, and I figured I’d test the waters just now to see if it was true. I did //not// think you two would be so obvious though, hahaha! Clearing her throat, Rina downed the rest of her tea and jumped back into the conversation. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well, //excuse me// for thinking that was a little outta left field. We’ve been chatting this whole week and you didn’t say anything about it! (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Haha, well yeah obvs! Would you have told me the truth? Rina huffed and irritated the peeling paint of the table with her fingernail. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Aight, you got me there. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah…I would’ve kept it to myself as well, unless I felt like I would’ve put Rina and Nia in jeopardy by not answering. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Yeah, and that was where Nia was at. This one here couldn’t keep her hands off Nia when we were at the mall, so I had to make sure nothing shitty was going down. Rina blushed as her past actions were put in the spotlight, seemingly having just been made aware of exactly //how// unsubtle she was allegedly acting on that day. Well, I say “alleged”, but, given Rina’s well-documented handsyness and the photos they had sent me last week, I had little doubt of Lucy’s claim. Lucy winked at us as she continued. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: But don’t worry, she didn’t give me all the dirty deets. More or less just said you three were experimenting with some stuff. I exhaled, partly in relief and partly out of exhaustion, and leaned against the table with my head between my elbows. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well…thank you. I appreciate you doing that, and I //really// appreciate you being cool headed about it. Lucy shrugged and took another sip of her soda. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Eh, don’t sweat it. In the end, it was just as much for Nia’s sake. That girl freaks out about that stuff enough as is. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah… Lucy and I stared out in silence for a moment, caught in the memories of the past. These were quickly dispelled though, as Rina once again cleared her throat and leaned forward uncomfortably. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So, um… (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Oup, sorry girl. Didn’t mean to exclude you like that. She stood up and stretched as she spoke. I was surprised she’d sat with us this long, honestly. I had never known her to stay still if she could avoid it. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Anyways, I stand by my suggestion. You guys have something only you can do for her, and she needs all the help she can get right now. Why not go hard? Rina and I looked at each other, working through our still waning embarrassment as we silently weighed the unexpected suggestion’s pros and cons. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Isn’t that like, kinda uncool to foist onto her though? What if she’s not in the mood after working so hard? Lucy let out another one of her bellowing laughs. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Oh Rina, you really haven’t known this side of Nia very long, huh? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: What do you mean? (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Just trust me, spoil her in the right ways and she’ll be like puddy in your hands~. There’s a reason I’ve gotta get on her case about favors, even though I’ve known her for so long, while she’ll bend over backwards for Em at the drop of a hat. Have a little faith, you guys’ll do great. If you’re not sure, just ask the beast tamer his secrets~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uhh, right… Rina gave a rather uncharacteristically intimidated look as Lucy pointed toward me. I couldn’t exactly deny that Nia was often more than willing to do whatever I asked of her, but it was a bit disquieting when phrased like that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Uhh, haha, yeah. We’ll make it work, I’m sure. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Yeah, you better! I wanna see Nia’s shining face as she tells me //all about// how you guys got her to //unwind//. If I hear you two fucking botched it after I spend the rest of my week over at her place then I’m gonna be pissed! She crossed her arms and looked down at us with a very genuine sternness, before lightening up and slapping us on the backs with another series of cackles. (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: But I’m sure I don’t need to worry about that, hehe. Anyway, I should head out. I gotta get stuff ready so I can appease Nia when I show up tomorrow morning, hehe! With that, she abruptly jogged off with an excited, sincere smile. We exchanged one more awkward series of waves as she headed off into the distance. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well…uh, guess we’re planning the session this weekend, heh. Better not fuck this up, huh? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …It certainly seems that way. Rina looked at me with a curious expression. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So, um, show me what magic tricks you use, Mr. “Beast Tamer”. [[Nia POV: Dead tired]] [[What she likes]]

Ahhh man…I really want to sleep in my own bed. I’m tired of staying in the main house. Mom and dad’s pillows are too hard, their detergent is too strong…I can’t even lock the door in case Tite and Edith need something… On the bright side, I’m too tired to be horny tonight... Eh, not that it would matter…it made me feel kinda gross trying to get off in my parent’s room anyway. I sighed as I finally pulled into the driveway. At least mom left her car for the week… Well actually, she’d fucking better have since I had to drive all the kids to school… If I had to bike them everywhere I woulda flipped my shit. Not that I wouldn’t’ve done it, but… I leaned my head against the steering wheel and closed my eyes. Chill girl, it was gonna be fine. It was already Wednesday night. If mom and dad were still on time, then you only had another day and a half to go. You could do this, just…had to………I jumped in my seat. Couldn’t sit like that for too long, or I was gonna pass the hell out. Shaking my head of drowsiness, I opened the door and gathered all my crap from the passenger’s seat. Once I’d turned the car off though, I realized I was sitting in pitch darkness. Ah god dammit, they forgot to turn on the night lights for the patio. I stumbled to the front door with my phone lighting the way, managing to only drop my keys and water bottle twice in the process. God, why was it so fucking hard to find women’s work pants with good pockets in them!? …I guess I could’ve made it easier on myself it I’d repacked everything before getting out of the car, but, like, fuck it man, I didn’t have the patience. I just needed to get that clip back from Anton in the morning. He probably didn’t need it for school again tomorrow, right? …Gah! What am I saying? I knew I wasn’t getting that back when I gave it to him. I should’ve listened to Em and bought more spares… Eventually, I managed to make it inside. To my relief, the house was in good condition…well, //mostly// good condition…if I squinted at it. And really, who was I to say? Wasn’t “good” a relative thing? … I sighed again as I unloaded my stuff in the entry. It was fine. They had tried to do the chores while I was gone, and that was what I cared about most. Eve was the only one who was old enough for me to really expect to do them well, and since she’d been given the extra task of putting everyone else to bed I wasn’t mad. All things considered, actually, it could’ve been a lot worse. I took pride in my little sister’s growth as I got to work on the rest of the chores, thankful that it would only take thirty minutes or so instead of over an hour… And my guess wasn’t too far off, either; forty minutes later, I found myself finally free to get some rest. I stretched out my back and quickly, but silently, flicked off the lights and ran upstairs. But before I could fully relax, I had to make sure everyone was settled in. Walking by the kids’ rooms and peeking in carefully, I thankfully found them sleeping tightly. As a child I’d absolutely despised the household rule that kids have to leave their doors cracked, but as an adult I appreciated it greatly. I think I’d cry right then and there if I accidentally woke one of them up with a creaky hinge! Though, that said, I //could// still see light coming from under the door of Eve’s room. Listening against the wood, I heard the light scratching of pencil against paper. Shit, was she still doing homework? Well, it’s not like I didn’t understand //that// one. I could think of at least three assignments I would be working on if I had the energy… Caught in my daze, I didn’t realize that Eve had opened the door and was staring at me from inside her room. Dang, I really must be tired to not notice that… She glared at me with an annoyed expression, eyebrows raised. (text-colour:lime)[Eve]: So? Are you gonna come in, or were you planning to eavesdrop the rest of the night? A hint of anger welled in my stomach, but I pushed it down. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Ehehe, sorry. Just wanted to check on you before I went to bed. Eve went to her desk and sat down, toiling over the mess of papers that I assumed she was working on before. I followed her in and gently closed the door. I stood quietly and watched her work out some problems in her head for a little while. Every once in a blue moon she would steal a look at me, but for the most part she stayed focused. Well, if I’m distracting her at all then I should probably get out of her hair. I’d make this quick. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Thank you for doing the chores earlier. I know that wasn’t easy with the kids. Eve scoffed and rolled her eyes as she put down her pencil. (text-colour:lime)[Eve]: Nia, I heard you downstairs. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh oops, sorry, was I being too loud? Eve scowled at me. (text-colour:lime)[Eve]: Don’t thank me if you don’t mean it. You could at least tell me what I did wrong, so I could do it better next time. I don’t want to give you more work. Another wave of frustration built up inside me. I tightened my abs and did my best to hold it in. She didn’t mean it, I knew how she could be. It was late, she was stressed from her homework…it was just making her inner perfectionist angry. It was better to just let it go… I was too tired to get snippy with her right now anyways, and I //really// didn’t want to wake up the kids. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Eve, that wasn’t what I... I wanted…haah… I lost my will to continue and dropped whatever I was going to say. I couldn’t even remember now. Eve waited for me to respond, but after it was obvious that I wasn’t gonna finish my thought, she went back to working on her homework. We sat in silence again, feeling even more awkward than before. I didn’t want to just leave things like this… I walked softly up to Eve and put my hands on her shoulders, trying to imitate the way mom did it for us when we were younger. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: How was your day? (text-colour:lime)[Eve]: …It was okay. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah? Seems like you’ve been working hard on this. (text-colour:lime)[Eve]: Yeah… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Good job, I’m proud of you for staying on top of it. Anything I can help with? Eve looked at me skeptically, a bite of indignance returning to her face. (text-colour:lime)[Eve]: …No offense, but I thought you dropped the advanced math program in high school. Do you even know how to do calculus? I felt a piece of me break, and the emotions I’d been suppressing came roaring to the surface. My vision blurred and my legs tightened. For a moment, I was positive I was going to raise my voice — to start yelling and ask her why she felt like she could treat me like Nana does. …But it never came. Instead, all I could feel was a cold wash over me. My head felt heavy… I was too tired for all this. I just wanted to go to bed. I needed to. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Guess you’re right…sorry… I’ll leave you to it. (text-colour:navy)[Why were you trying to mommy her? She didn’t want that, not from you. You’ll only ever be her idiot sister.] Yeah, I guess that was true, huh? I shouldn’t have overstepped like that… I gave Eve’s shoulders a weak squeeze and let my hands fall to my hips. She mumbled something and stopped working, then turned toward me. It felt like she was going to repeat whatever she said before — she’d seemed annoyed, in that way she always was lately — but, for some reason, she stopped once she looked at me. (text-colour:lime)[Eve]: …Hey…are you alright…? Nia? What was she talking about? I was fine. I gave her a light pat on the shoulder and smiled. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, all good. Just a lil sleepy. I walked out of her room and peeked my head in one more time. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I love you. Have a good night. Don’t stay up too late. The words left me robotically, and I shut the door before the conversation could continue further. Afterwards, I stood there and stared into the floor for god knows how long. I knew I should get ready for bed. It was already so late, and I wasn’t going to do well in the morning if I didn’t get some rest. I knew that, but I…I couldn’t find the strength to move. Ahhh, why did I have to do this? I wanted it all to go away. My family didn’t need me. (text-colour:navy)[They don’t. Nana was right, you’re just dragging them down. You’re a bad example, and you shouldn’t be with them. They’d be better off with a sitter.] I felt so sick…so alone… I wish Em were here… A small piece of paper rubbed against my feet, bringing me back to the real world. I picked it up, and felt a strong pressure build in my throat. I had to bite my trembling lip to keep myself from making any noise. It was a little note from Eve; a page ripped from her notebook, with a hastily doodled pair of crying cats hugging and a big “I’m sorry. I love you too.” scrawled in thick, messy lettering above them. It was just like the notes I used to leave her when she was a kid. ...She hadn’t drawn me anything in years… I felt my fears wash away. Relief took the strength in my legs and made my footsteps like jelly — it was all I could do to get myself to mom and dad’s room before I fell into bed. I looked over the note again and again. She might have changed, but she was still Eve. My family still needed me. She still loved me. I was going to be okay. I took a deep breath and snuggled into the sheets. I wished Em could be here with me, but, at least with Eve’s note in my arms, I didn’t feel quite as alone tonight. [[What she likes]]

The morning after our meeting, I was inundated with texts from Nia complaining about Lucy barging into her house while she slept-in and “taking over her job” as she had put it. Well, she protested, but I could tell she wasn’t actually upset with the whole affair. Just like Lucy had predicted — I supposed she was right that Nia appreciated a heavier hand in this instance. Why, though, did I of all people not realize that? Whatever, it was just another opportunity to improve. It hurt my pride a little to admit my approach was less effective this time, but that wasn’t important. I was far, far happier that Lucy had been right, and that we’d managed to find a more impactful way to help Nia. In part, at least. Now it was time for Rina and myself to execute our half of the equation. The rest of the week had been a frenzy. The two of us spent the short amount of time we had together, discussing in-depth the best ways to really get Nia relaxed after her difficult week. I broke down what I thought Nia generally liked in her sexual experiences: having some measure of control over the situation, and being able to exercise said control; being the center of attention, or the sex somehow revolving around her involvement; finally, and perhaps most importantly, Nia feeling like she was being useful and doing a good job, as well as having her efforts be acknowledged and praised. Of course, this was just my interpretation of her sexual tastes, but, when it came to Nia’s general preferences, I felt I was fairly well acquainted. Of course, recognizing these interests on their own was useless if we couldn’t do anything with them. Especially with her tastes beginning to, at least from what I could tell, expand in new ways. If she had a burgeoning interest in group sex that was more involved, then I wanted to take advantage of that so that she could have the best time possible. And that is where my discussions with Rina really get into the minutia. Though she was less daring about it than myself, Rina clearly had an interest as well. With the proper rules outlined, we eventually reached a satisfactory conclusion on the exact nature of Nia’s upcoming carnival of passion. Nia herself we kept mostly in the dark about the plans. Not to say we didn’t tell her ''anything'', of course, we didn’t want to stress her out by leaving her hanging, or make her think she was not doing her part — not to mention, springing this on her last minute would’ve been rather rude of us. We kept it simple, letting Nia know that she didn’t have to worry about meeting with Rina for the weekend; that we had something fun put together in lieu of our backup plans, and the only thing we needed her to do was prepare herself, both in the physical //and// the mental sense, for anything. [[Finally, Friday night arrived]]

I waited outside Nia's workplace as she finished her final shift. Basking in the cool night air, I sifted through my mental checklist one more time to make sure things were in order. Not that the plans Rina and I had made were anything particularly complicated; it was just that, like all things sexual, it took a degree of timing and consideration to execute effectively. Nia emerged after some time, pushing open the door as she waved goodbye to her co-workers, and, undoubtedly, brushed away their thanks. She looked a little worse for wear, her smile in particular holding wearily, but her eyes still shined as brightly as they ever had. Seeing Nia this way gave me heart that things were off to a good start. I closed in as soon as we saw each other, jogging over in quick order and giving her the biggest hug I possibly could. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Good job hun, you made it through! She hugged me back even tighter and buried her face in my hair, even going so far as to pick me up off my feet and shaking me around as she squeezed. Ooof, I nearly forgot how strong she was! She may not have been as big or muscular as Rina, but Nia’s body unquestionably belonged to an athlete. Normally I might have chafed at her manhandling me like this, but tonight I appreciated it more than anything. It was so very Nia — an intimate conveyance of feelings that resonated with her most naturally. I wheezed as I tried to speak through my compression. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m proud of you love, I know that must have been really hard. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Yeah, it was rough. Thanks for meeting me here. She set me down, but didn’t let go, opting to continue holding me for as long as I’d allow. I obliged, of course, and we stayed like that for a good while; simply enjoying the first real, free taste of affection we’ve had from each other this week. As nice as it was, however, we were sadly unable to keep it up indefinitely. The night was only so long, and we had other places to be. I unearthed myself from her embrace and took her hands in mine, giving them a comforting knead as I looked in her eyes. Nia fluttered as I massaged her, sighing in relief as her body started to unwind. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oooh thanks Em, that feels great. I’m so fucking stiff from all the busywork… This week sucked so fucking hard, man. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah? Tell me about it. I swapped to focusing on one hand as we slowly began walking side by side. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: God, where do I even start? Working the back //and// service to fill in for Kent — the sonofabitch I told you about who just stopped showing up — was a fucking //nightmare//. Yenessa kept putting the mop by the door too, so I almost tripped coming out of the kitchen like 50 times! The tablets are still pieces of crap since Jen is too cheap to get new ones, so I have to keep tapping them //over and over// so they’ll actually //fucking// work! I migrated one hand to her forearm and the other to her neck through her tirade, trying to make sure she didn’t get too twisted up while venting. She momentarily halted my work as it reached her shoulder; trapping my hand between it and her cheek, and nuzzling against it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Haah...and if that weren’t all bad enough, this annoying couple keeps coming in lately. Every other night they're getting drunk 'n talking mad shit about all the people they know. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I thought hearing drama was part of what you liked about the job? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Normally yeah, but these girls are //really// damn catty.…like always going on and on about petty shit. And like, they just won’t shut up! S’like, c’mon man, I enjoy a lil bit of tea spillage here and there, but there’s a time and place. They’re drama hounds, it’s all I ever hear them talk about...//and// they don’t tip well! Ahh, so that’s what was really pissing her off. Well I couldn’t blame her. Relying on the tips was bad enough, and listening to people be nasty all the while had to be tiring. I swapped to the other side of her body as we went on. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well I’m sorry hun, that sucks. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mhmm — oh right there, yep, the spot under my pointer finger — but yeah, I’ll live. We have a few newbies coming in on Monday and Tuesday, so hopefully one of them will stick around long enough to learn the ropes. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hopefully. With the majority of Nia's woes seemingly untangled, we fell into a comfortable silence. The sparse sounds that did occur between us were mostly Nia’s groans of satisfaction, as well as the occasional request to knead one of her many sore spots. [[The weekend’s prelude]]

Over the course of our walk, my massage slowly adopted a more obscene nature. It began by migrating from her sore areas to adjacent, more sensitive regions, then furthered as I adjusted my pressure to softly pet and trace along her skin. Nia was a sucker for light, tenderly wanting touches, and so, with how open her breezy summer top was, I took care to cater to her preferences. Nia’s heated noises echoed through the stairwell as we climbed towards my apartment, her composure slowly waning with each step. A light sheen of sweat had collected under her bangs, and the barest impression had taken shape on the tip of her breasts. Her body shuddered, skin raising as I allowed my fingers to gently glide from her nape to her spine, until eventually following along the tight hem of her work pants. Halfway up the final flight to reach my floor — just as I was about to begin a whole new cycle of ministrations — Nia suddenly grabbed my teasing hand, staring daggers as she panted. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Em…if you don’t stop, I don’t think we’re gonna make it inside~... A grin split my face as I watched her torn expression; one part of her was clearly serious about the threat, and another part no doubt hoped I would challenge her warning. While I normally welcomed her forceful, predatory side to emerge and wrest control of the situation, this weekend was not about me. Rina and I had greater pleasures in store for Nia tonight, and it would be a waste to have her lose her cool right before we got started. I swirled a finger playfully around the base of her spine one last time before pulling away, allowing the amusement I felt to show overtly on my face. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Oh no, well we can’t have that~. Not when we’re so close, hehe~. She huffed at my taunt, slightly frustrated by her own cockblocking. Before she could start wallowing, I took her hand and hastily thrust us up the stairs. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Don’t pout hun, you’ll get everything you deserve and then some. I promise~. She giggled and held my hand tighter. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Damn right I will. And if I don't? Well...then I'll just have to take it~. We continued flirting as we made our way into the apartment. A wave of savory aroma greeted us upon our entry, quickly followed by Rina, who set down her phone and stood from the couch as we entered. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ay, you guys finally made it. I was starting to think you two stopped in an alleyway somewhere and were getting it on without me, hahaha! Nia and I laughed along with her as we unloaded in the entryway. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: We almost did, to be honest. Rina came up to us as we finished and pulled us both into a friendly hug. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well I’m glad you didn’t! We’ve got big plans for you toni-. She dropped what she was saying and balked at Nia, who had, upon entering Rina’s embrace, let out a sound trapped somewhere between a squeak and a moan. Nia’s already flushed face colored further as we both leered at her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~S-sorry, Em got me all riled up so I’m kinda sensitive… A wolfish grin painted Rina’s face. Before Nia could comment further, Rina pulled away and proceeded to sweep my love off her feet and into a bridal carry — the smaller girl trembling as she laid limply within our partner's powerful grasp. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …~Well, I was //going// to say dinner is ready for you…but it seems like we’ve got more important things to tend to, huh Em? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I think you’re right on the money~. We maneuvered through the narrow halls of my apartment, soon finding ourselves in the bedroom. Rina set Nia down onto the bed and joined in, cradling her from behind as they leaned against the headboard. I, meanwhile, sat in front and between Nia's legs; the two of us together effectively holding her in place. As we’d practiced, Rina and I coordinated an even, sensual massage all across Nia’s body; my partner focusing on her arms, shoulders, and breasts, while I primarily worked over her hips and inner thighs. We kept the stimulation consistent and mild, working to genuinely loosen the stiff tissue without kneading her more sensitive parts too roughly. To heighten the effect, we worked to avoid her nipples, vagina and butt all together. The result was, as intended, an effective mixture of titillation and teasing — her eyes gradually becoming unfocused as her body melted into our touch. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~G-uhhhys~. I’m mmf~! We knew what she wanted, and didn’t intend on letting her pleas finish. Two of Rina’s fingers hooked into Nia’s mouth and dragged out her tongue, and two of my own digits slid underneath her soaking panties. She groaned and twitched, licking and drooling on Rina as I played gently with her folds. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~You did a great job this week hun, and we’re gonna //make sure// you know it~. I kissed her midriff and continued to massage her thighs, meanwhile Rina finally unclasped Nia’s bra and gave the newly bared breasts the attention it so desperately desired. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Good girl, Nia~. You really are amazing, I never woulda been able to handle all that, hehe. She whispered in Nia’s ear as she spoke, before dragging her tongue down her target’s neck and peppering the naked shoulder with affectionate pecks. Nia seemed to really be enjoying the praise and attention. My partner and I exchanged nods as we tended to her; if she was enjoying this, then it was time to kick it up a notch. Rina unhooked Nia’s mouth, lifted her butt into the air, and propped her up against me. Before Nia could find her bearings in this new position, I locked our lips and hands together in an intimate embrace. We waited like that for a moment as Rina took off her sweatpants, the two of us just enjoying the twin sensations of our tongues swirling and our sweaty palms pressing together. Once Rina gave me the signal that she was ready to go, I migrated my grasp to the back of Nia’s thighs, spread her pussy, and slowly led her down until the massive dick behind her pressed against her entrance. Rina braced Nia’s underarms and the two of us worked together to slowly ease my trembling mess of a girlfriend onto the shaft. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: A-haaah~ Oohhh god~ I-I dunno if this pose is- (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Shhhhh, don’t be scared Nia. You’re okay. We’ve got you hun~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~We’re gonna go reaaal slow, don’t worry. It’s not gonna be like last time~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We swear. I gave Nia’s nape another kiss and helped her slide another few inches down. She moaned into me and tugged weakly at my torso, trying to pull us as close together as possible. As promised, we maneuvered as carefully and languidly as we could, working to both ease Rina’s huge cock into Nia’s depths and to prolong the descent. We teased her all the while, with more kisses, licks, and soft blows against her sweaty skin than we could feasibly count. By the time we couldn’t fit any more in, Nia was an absolute puddle; drooling against my neck and whimpering each time Rina throbbed inside her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Haah~ ehehe, she’s so damn cute when she’s like this! Maybe we should fuck her while she’s exhausted more often~. Rina wagged her brows excitedly at me, as if to tempt me into giving her access to Nia’s most vulnerable, submissive moments. ...I'd be lying if I said the proposal didn’t sound appealing... (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: ~Well, it is one of her favorite things to do before bed, so I’m sure she wouldn’t mind~. We’ve even fallen asleep with me still inside her a few times. Rina draped herself over Nia’s back and licked the rim of her ear, whispering in a heavy, playful tone. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Oh yeaah~? You want that, Nia? You wanna pass out while my thick cock skewers you? I don’t mind railing you to that point~. She taunted Nia as she spoke, softly prodding her target's deepest walls. Rather than a proper response, Nia instead sucked my shoulder and whined as she shook her ass. It was pretty likely that she was too far gone to think straight. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sounds like a “yes” to me, don’cha think Em~? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Couldn’t agree with you more~. Why don’t you give her what she deserves? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Haha, with pleasure~! She started rocking Nia with deep, short thrusts; carefully keeping the majority of herself sheathed within Nia’s pussy — as we’d discussed during our rehearsal — to avoid pulling out too far. If she didn't do it this way then we risked Rina potentially slamming into the cervix again due to the precarious angle, and we //really// didn't want a repeat of that. Thankfully, the technique was just as effective as we’d hoped for, leaving Nia’s whole body wracked with tremors of ecstasy as she clawed at my back. She howled in need, a slurry of half-formed appreciation and horny demands spilling from her lips. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Haahaahh! ~Ooohhh, oh fuuug mee~! Sho good! H-harder~! Please go harder~! Unfortunately, the pose we were in didn’t leave Rina much room to thrust harder without hurting Nia, so we couldn’t give her exactly what she wanted. On the bright side, we had a plan in case she’d wanted it rougher while doing this. I grabbed the oil from the bedside table, slathering it on my crotch and thus far neglected penis. Prepared now, I scooched forward and pressed my body against Nia’s. Rina and I wrapped our arms around each other, locking my love into place and straightening out her back; fully capturing her body between us. I rhythmically grinded against Nia’s lower belly, doing my best to thrust my cock in tandem with Rina’s to double the feeling of the impact within Nia. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~W-wuh~ooohhh~? Hngg~! Fuuhhh~! Oh~! Oh god~! God oh god fffffuh~! Nia convulsed as she came suddenly. She bit hard into my shoulder and froze up, her entire body struggling to ride the wave of pleasure she’d been violently struck by. Rina and I looked at each other in surprise, not having expected her to cum quite that fast or hard. We stopped and gave her a moment to catch her breath. Staying immobile was difficult, and only got harder as our own buzz grew, but still we managed. It was important to make sure we didn’t want to overwhelm her like last weekend. Sure enough, with some time, Nia gathered her bearings and became mostly lucid again. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: H…hrrm ahem - Her voice was slightly rough and shaky. She paused for a moment to clear her throat. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: - s-sorry, ugh… Can you two…maybe do something a little, uh, w-weird for me? A spark of curiosity flared in Rina’s face, and I'm sure in mine as well. I doubt either of us were expecting Nia to want to continue so soon after. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Always, hun. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Course dude, wassup? She looked back at Rina and unhooked her stiff arms from me, then raised them up behind her head. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: P-put me in a hold. Rina’s wide eyes flitted between her and I, likely unsure if that was okay to do. I shrugged, more than a little intrigued to see where this was going. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uh, like a…shoulder hold, you mean? Like the Full Nelson? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mmhhmm~! I felt the titan cock twitch through Nia’s stomach at the request, which elicited another longing moan from her. A nervous, manic smile crossed Rina’s face as she carefully locked her flexing arms around Nia’s and behind her mess of red hair. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: T-that’s not too tight, is it? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No, that…that’s good She allowed her head to fall into position and looked at me with a hazy, semi-delirious smile. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Okay, Em, baby, now I need something extra special from you. Can you please do that for me, hun? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Always, Nia. Anything for you. And I meant it, I really did. I would do anything she asked as long as it was in my power. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Thank you sweetie. ...~Whyell, hehe, I, um...I want you to stick it in me too~. The two of us were momentarily taken aback by her request. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Did you do the usual prep? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I mean, even if she did, I dunno if you’re ready for that Nia. I can still barely fit in your vag, forget anywhere else. Plus, I mean, this position is kinda- Nia giggled harder and shook her head, interrupting our barrage of questions. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nuoo, hehehe, you frickin’ goofballs! I //did// prep, yeah, just in case we wanted to do some ass play, but that’s not what I meant. I’m clear headed enough to know that isn’t a good idea right now. I want you in my //pussy. Both of you~.// We paused for a moment. Rina seemed frozen, utterly unsure of what to say. I, on the other hand, knew exactly how I felt about the request. I gave Nia a flirtatious smile and kissed her deeply. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: With pleasure, hun. Rina pulsed inside Nia once again as I answered, causing Nia bit her lip and her eyes to flutter. She craned her neck back with a silly smile on her face. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Yeah, //big girl//~? You like the idea too? The “big girl” in question nodded silently, a starved look on her face. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, then let’s get to it~. C’mon Em, I don’t think I’m gonna last much longer before I pass the fuck out. I wanna go down with a bang~! That made two of us. This situation had me absolutely broiling, and I wanted to end it as strongly as possible. I swallowed heavily, and aligned myself with Nia’s already thoroughly filled pussy. I wasn't sure how I was going to make this fit, but dammit I was going to try! I pressed against the top of her entrance and worked to slide myself in. Between Nia’s flooding juices and the oil I applied earlier it was less of a struggle than I'd anticipated, but it was far from effortless. Not only was Rina’s surprisingly sturdy condom providing extra texture and resistance, but Nia was //obscenely// tight from how stuffed she was. I hadn’t felt this much pressure from Nia since we first experimented with anal! Nia and Rina gasped as I kept pushing inside; the former eventually devolving into a series of muttered expletives, while the latter breathlessly huffed as blood seemed to rush to her face en masse. By the time I had managed to hilt myself entirely inside, we were all shaking like our lives were on the line. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ah…ahh ho....ly shit...so full~… I took the first step to breaking our deadlock, swinging my hips as best I could. With the illusion of peace broken, Rina joined in; the sheer mass behind her strong thrusts pulling mine alongside her and slamming my glans up into Nia’s g-spot. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oooohhh~! ...Yes...! //Yes yes yes~! ~Pleeeease do that more~!// Right there~! Rina picked up the pace as Nia begged, losing her cool as she thrust faster and faster. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: R-rina…tighter~! As commanded, Rina flexed and splayed her captive’s arms further above her head. Nia was thrust down as the hold’s power increased, her face once again settling between my shoulder and my neck. With her additional leverage, Rina pumped even more fiercely, and seemed to be picking up speed each second. A small part of me worried that she might be going too hard, but it was hard to think straight with Nia’s pleasured cries in my ear — not to mention Rina’s thick thighs and huge balls smothering and slapping my own into an erotic numbness. Nia muttered more and more curses as she sputtered into my collarbone, barely holding together enough to stay coherent. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //~C-cummin’! Aaaahh shid guuuh~! AH~!// (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh, //haah//~! Fuuuh, meeee tooooo~! ~Nia! ~Em! ~I…! //I’m cumming so fucking hard~!// Rina’s cries pitched an octave as she soon began to fall apart as well. I wasn’t far behind them — the litany of intense, rhythmic thrums bouncing between Rina and Nia’s sexes, paired with our cacophony of sensual noises, formed an irresistible concoction which pushed me over the edge of composure. I was gone before I knew it, clinging to their sweaty bodies as I emptied myself as deep into Nia as I could reach. We all collapsed onto the pile of pillows as soon as our muscles relaxed. The tension of sex and our shared orgasms had been the only thing holding us up in that awkward position, and now, with it absent, our Eiffel Tower of sex came crashing down. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oof. Holy hell…I think my legs fell asleep… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Yeah, same… We laid quiet for a time as we reveled in the afterglow. I looked over Nia to see how she was holding up, and found her basically unresponsive. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …How are you doing, hun? You okay? Nia grumbled indecipherably before weakly holding up a thumb, then resting her hand against my cheek and falling back into seeming unconsciousness. Rina giggled silently as she watched. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Guess she’s taking us up on that offer, huh? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Heheh, guess so… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Not that I mind. I’m kinda hungry, but…a nap doesn’t sound half bad right now, and I've never slept while inside someone~... (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …How are you still hungry? Weren’t you stealing bites the entire time we were cooking today? Rina slung her arms around both of us and held us tightly. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hehehe…yeah, but…that was then…and //this// is now. I’mma…“big girl”, Em, didn’t you hear? And this big girl needs…//a lot// of fuel to be a sex machine~… She playfully joked as she slowly drifted off as well. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heh…hehehh… Hey, speaking of food… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Hm? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: First one to…pull outta Nia…has tah cook for…the rest of the sesh~♪. She stayed silent after that, her shallow, soft breaths falling roughly in line with Nia’s. I closed my eyes and snorted to myself. Partially out of humor of her obviously unfair bet, and partly out of an amused embarrassment. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I’d long since been pushed out of Nia, my flaccid dick unable to contend with how tightly sealed together their sexes were. [[Nia POV: Midnight’s heart]] [[Rina POV: Midnight snack]] [[Open house]]

The first thing to hit me when I woke up was how badly I needed to pee. The second was how sore I felt. Ugh, damn…everything, my upper body and pussy especially, had a dull ache inside it, and the pressure in my bladder was really, really not helping. I struggled to detangle myself from Em and Rina as quickly as I could, the dark making it difficult to do with any amount of grace. Clumsily crawling out of bed and tripping over the edge, I somehow managed to make it to the bathroom before it was too late. I sighed as I finally sat down and got my much needed relief… Owww, actually that kinda stung… Fuck, maybe I shouldn’t have put the ol’ girl through the ringer like that… The DP with someone as thick as Rina was already pushing it, falling asleep like that was just reckless. And didn’t Rina have a condom on too? Yeah, it was kinda stupid of me…guess I’m still not used to dealing with condoms on a partner. Lucky it hasn’t been that long, or I mighta ended up with a rash. I rubbed the back of my head and my shoulder throbbed, angrily reminding me that it wasn’t just my vag that had taken a beating during our play. Again though, entirely my own fault. Not to say I had any regrets! I giggled to myself as I thought about it. I liked a little bit of after-workout burn, it meant I had a good time. And I, most definitely, had a //good time// tonight. Shoulda just been a little more thoughtful about it is all. And speaking of being thoughtful, or //not//, in this case, hopefully I didn’t wake them up earlier. I’m pretty sure I accidentally smacked one of them when I was scrambling… But, well, I shouldn’t feel too bad, I guess. Obviously waking them up like that would be a bummer, and I’d apologize for it soon, but if I hadn’t hurried then I would’ve woken them up in a much worse way… A shiver ran through my spine as I finished up, and stuck with me even after I stood. I ran the water warm while washing, hoping it would help dispel the clinging sensation. And it did, at least a little bit. I left my hands in the stream for a minute, enjoying the heat as it soaked into me. Eh, you know what? Fuck it. While I was at it, I grabbed one of Em’s washcloths and cleaned the dried sex and sweat off myself. It helped chase off the cold and left me feeling refreshed. It felt so nice I almost talked myself into just taking a shower, but I knew I was going to bake in there if I did, and I didn’t want to run Em’s water bill up too high if I was going in alone. Our shower from last weekend had probably already put a dent in his wallet. Done in the bathroom, I tiptoed through Em’s room and out the hallway. Honestly I wanted to just crawl back into bed with them, but I needed something to eat first. Hot as the sex was, my tummy was really not happy with me. As I walked through the living room though, something about it caught my eye. I paused and looked around the apartment. The set-up in here was very different from how Em usually had it… A portable massage chair draped over my half of the couch and a pedicuring tub in front of it were the first things to catch my eye. The tub had a towel under it and seemed to be full of colored water. Next was the expensive bottles of hand, foot, and body lotion — my favorite brands to keep my skin from cracking when I was on the swim team — on the ottoman, as well as several small stacks of books, movies, and console games on the table between the couch and the TV — which had all my plug-in consoles from home set up underneath… How did those get here? Thoroughly distracted by this point, I walked over to the stacks of media and looked through them. All my favorites were in here. My top vegging games, my comfort books, the sappy flicks I like to watch when I’m blue…but that wasn’t all. As I reached the bottom of the game pile, I was surprised to find the new Nintendo game that I’d mentioned in passing last week was here as well. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em…you jerk, I told ya I didn’t wanna shell out the seventy bucks… I said that, but I couldn’t stop an excited smile from plastering itself onto my face as I looked at the cover. Taking a deep breath, I set the game down and put some distance between me and the wonderful gift. As hyped as I was to get that, I didn’t wanna get caught up in playing and spoil the rest of the weekend. Sure Em would be fine with it, but it wouldn’t be cool to just sit around playing a game while Rina was over too… Then again, they had it here for a reason. For all I knew, Rina helped buy it. Maybe it would be rude if I didn’t… No, no girl, c’mon, be present for them… I shook my head, promising myself that I would sink time into it later. Somehow managing to resist the temptation, I headed into the kitchen and opened the fridge to see what they’d prepped for dinner. I’d been expecting something heavy from the smell in the house — a red meat and gravy dish was my guess at the time, probably with some kinds of side vegetables and potatoes — but what I found instead made my jaw drop. The entire fridge was stuffed full of pre-prepared, easy to reheat meals in a variety of color coded glassware containers. The dish I’d imagined was there, not that I doubted my nose after years of culinary experience, but alongside it was at least six or so other complete meals of equal or greater quantity. Again, much like the things set-up in the living room, they were all dishes that I loved… And not only that, several desserts that I’d wanted to try when we were at Dai’z last week lined the bottom shelf. My heart throbbed as I appraised their hard work, the hard work they did //all for me//. When did they have time to do this…? Completely giddy at this point, I picked out the meal that tickled me the most at the moment, popped it in the microwave, and paced around the kitchen as I waited. As I did, I noticed a bag of beans for my favorite dessert coffee next to Em’s grinder. … I stopped and took another deep breath, holding my face in my palms. I wasn’t sure if it was the hard week, or how thoughtfully they’d put this together, but I was starting to get really emotional from everything. Blinking the mist from my eyes, I stopped the microwave right before it went off to make sure the apartment was as quiet as could be; then I leaned against the counter and scrolled through Instagram as I ate. Once I had something in my stomach, my mood began to even out a little. I wasn’t //quite// so overwhelmed anymore. No sense feeling guilty, I assured myself, I should just be thankful for the effort they put in. Yeah, I felt kinda bad that they’d gotten this all ready for me and we just went straight to having sex…but, well, Em knew me, after all. No doubt he planned what was going to happen when he revved me up on the walk home… Hehe, I'd bet that’s why they had everything put away before I got here. So they wanted to make me feel special? Well good job guys, you succeeded. And if they were going to be this sweet on me, then I had an obligation to enjoy their weekend plans as much as I possibly could! After cleaning my dishes, I made my way back to the bedroom and found Rina and Em…cuddling each other in their sleep… I had messed up the sheets when going to the bathroom, leaving their naked bodies coiled together on full display for me to see. Em’s head pulled between Rina’s tits and her arms around his shoulders. His hand on her hips and his feet brushing hers. Their soft dicks pressing into each other… Rina’s used condom next to Em’s thighs, the spillage forming a large wet patch on the bed where I was laying not too long ago… If I hadn’t eaten before coming back in, if I hadn’t calmed down, then I’m not sure how I would’ve reacted… Honestly, I wasn’t even sure how I was reacting right now. How was I //supposed// to react? It was a mystery. All I knew for sure was that I couldn’t stop looking at them, I couldn’t move at all. I just stood there and stared; my heart caught in my throat, and that same weird, powerful feeling swirling in my belly…the same one I got lately whenever they got too close. The same one I got when Lucy, Rina, and I were hanging out… My brain was overheating. What was this? A bead of sweat traced my temple. When did it get so hot in here? … …Did I really…did I…also…? Something in me froze before the thought could finish. Not yet. I wasn’t ready to say that yet. I…I needed…to see more first…just so I could be sure. Through the burning haze of confusion I found myself looming over them, somehow even hungrier than before I’d left. [[Rina POV: Midnight snack]] [[Open house]]

Ughh, I reeeally wasn’t ready to get up yet… I wasn’t sure how long it’d been since I went to bed, but I knew for sure it hadn’t been long enough. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have woken up at all, but at some point someone, I wasn’t sure who, started breathing on my dick and got me worked up. Not that being hard on its own was enough to wake me up normally; outside of my stress nightmares, waking up horny was my most common way to start the day. Normally I’d just ignore it and go back to bed, but the pulsing in my crotch this time was bordering on painful…! Maybe it was the two smoking hot partners I had in bed with me, and how close together we all were. It was really hard to pretend like you weren’t insanely horny when you had someone’s head buried in your tits, or when someone’s lips were what felt like less than a few inches away from your dick… How did they get down there anyways? Em and Nia didn’t toss and turn that much in their sleep. Had someone just not gotten into bed all the way after a bathroom break? I could see that. I was pretty sure, after all, that someone’d stepped on me at some point earlier. Maybe they jus- Lightning shot through my abdomen as my mystery partner suddenly cupped one of my balls in their mouth, before running all the way up my length with their tongue. I was so surprised I didn’t even have time to try and stay quiet, a gasp escaping me before I could think. Instead of stopping at this though, my reaction only seemed to egg them on. A hand grabbed the base of my dick and began lightly stroking, all the while their licks explored between my glans and foreskin. I bit my lip as I tried to endure the assaulting pleasure. Okay, so //definitely// not there by accident. Or if it was one when they’d ended up there, that wasn't the case anymore… They slapped my crown against their tongue several slow, agonizingly heavy times, before pulling back and rubbing it against the person in my arms. Aside from their navel and belly, I couldn’t tell what it was touching specifically — my brain wasn’t exactly running at full capacity at the moment — but the slimy skin-on-skin contact left me quaking. I just woke up and I was already coming apart. Finally I managed to open my eyes, and was greeted by the top of Em’s hair jutting out of my bust. Nia, meanwhile, was nowhere to be seen in my periferie — but oh man, did I //feel// her. I quivered as she held my cockhead in a long, sloppy kiss between her plush lips and tongue. The slurps and pops coming from below had me spinning; it was all I could do to hold onto Em as she dug into my tip. Just when I felt like I was going to lose it, when I was positive I was going to snap and fuck Nia’s throat as hard as I possibly could, she pulled off for real. The sudden lack of stimulation was almost as bad as the sudden start. My body ached in protest, angry that it had been cut off from the heavenly sensation and the release my fantasy had promised. It didn’t seem like she’d halted the onslaught, however, just chosen a new victim. A cute, sleepy moan from Em vibrated in my chest, causing my already pounding pulse to go into overdrive. Gawwwwd, these two were going to drive me up the fucking wall! Reluctantly, I pushed Em — who had somehow not woken up yet, despite the insane head he was no doubt getting — out of my bosom and looked down at Nia. Her dark, horny gaze met mine, and she gave me a foxy smile around Em’s cock. She slowly pulled her new partner out of her mouth, before angling my dick down to her face and giving it another drawn out kiss. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Aww, don’t get too jealous~. I’ll be back soon, hehe~. I’d wanted to say something snarky back at her, to wrest my preferred sexual position as the commander rather than the commanded from her hands, but, between my drowsiness and horny desperation, all that came out was a frustrated whine. God dammit, the condescension in her face. I would’ve been embarrassed if I weren’t so turned on. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Okay, okay. I can give you //both// some love~. She cooed at me and giggled again as she went back to slathering her tongue all over Em. Before I could ask what she meant, two fingers trailed up my thigh and slipped into my pussy. Nia went for the low blow immediately, like she was punishing me for my impatience, pressing against my g-spot and dancing the fingers in a soft, slow wave. My eyes crossed and I felt thick beads of precum force themselves out of my slit. Shit, why did she always attack //that// spot when she was inside me!? So unfair~! We continued this mind melting back and forth for some time; Nia massaging my insides while she focused on Em, then switching back to me while she did god knows what to Em. And I knew she was doing something to him, as his face had grown red and scrunched up regardless of whose dick she was playing with. How the hell was he managing to stay asleep through all of this was entirely beyond me. Or maybe he wasn’t? Suddenly, as Nia made yet another trip back to Em — as soon as her lips touched his dick, really — he slammed her face all the way down onto his crotch and held it there. I jerked back up to Em’s face and was met with his half-awake state. We looked at each other without a word, the backdrop of Nia gagging on his load and her fingers stirring me up saying more than enough. A long moment later, once the gagging had subsided and I had gotten lost in Em’s foggy green eyes, Nia cut between our stares and pulled me into an aggressive kiss. She crawled on top of me as we locked lips, her tongue swirling around my mouth and giving me a taste of the bitter prize she’d been gifted by Em. Horny and on edge as I was, cum swapping with Nia on top of me was the final straw. All the blood rushed to my head as we kissed. ~Ah! That flavor! Her saliva and his fresh cum, mixed with the sharp tinge of our prior sex! It was almost nauseating, and also //exactly// what I wanted right now~! I couldn’t take it anymore. I wrapped my arms around Nia and thrust into her thick thighs, madly humping away while sucking and biting at each other’s lips. Fuck, I was a mess. Her raw pussy and ass were rubbing on my cock. Em’s cum was in my mouth. I felt like I was floating… It wasn’t long until that all too familiar pressure crept through my dick and I seized up //hard//, showering Nia’s back as we continued to make-out. After what felt like an eternity, she rolled off me and back between Em and I, where she’d first started. The three of us laid there quietly, panting and gasping. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …That…was a thank you for tonight~. Em and I shared a knowing look and chuckled at that, eventually breaking down into a full on fit of laughter. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …What? What’s so funny…? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Oh nothing hun, thank you. It’s just, well… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Hehe, if you were //that// thankful for tonight, then you’re gonna be worshiping the ground we walk on by tomorrow~. Ohho man, and did I mean it too. She had no idea what she was in for. A shudder ran through Nia as we pulled her into a tight hug, once again sandwiching her between us. I felt myself start to get hard again as I imagined what we had planned. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Just wait, you’re gonna go //crazy// for it~. [[Open house]]

(text-colour:blue)[Emery]: So, just to make sure, before we get too deep into the day, we’re all comfortable with everything that happened last night? Nia and Rina both nodded their heads as they ate. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: My poor lil kitten is still kinda achey from the DP last night though, so if we’re gonna fuck like that again let’s go easy on me, huh? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hah, I’m with you there hun. My testes are still sensitive from Rina’s slamming into them. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hahaha, right? Aren’t they heavy? My backdoor always ends up a little sore from them when we’re doing missionary, hehe. They really pack a punch! The owner of the wrecking balls in question cleared her throat before taking a sip of coffee, blushing as she tried to interrupt our banter. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well //sorry//. If you think they’re inconvenient for you guys, then imagine having them on your frickin’ body! Nia and I each put a hand on Rina and rubbed her back playfully. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw, c’mon Rina! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We didn’t mean it like that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah yeah yeah, I know! //Anyway//, we were talking about last night? We were all good with the main event, right? What about the “after party”? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, you mean my little “thank you” for you two being so sweet? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, that. I smiled as I reminisced over last night’s extra bit of fun. Nia had gotten frisky after seeing all the work we did in preparation for the weekend, and given us some love in gratitude. Unfortunately I’d been half-asleep through most of it, leaving me barely able to remember anything other than the foggiest details. What I could recall was a sexual blur; Nia trading the two of us between her, my trying to endure the pleasure, cumming in Nia’s throat, and the two of them making out afterwards. Certainly it wasn’t much, but the memories I had were anything but unpleasant. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m sorry I was too tired to be a more active participant, I liked what I was awake for though. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, no need to be sorry Em. That’s just how that kinda thing goes sometimes. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, plus you were super cute while you were all sleepy, hehe. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: True! Hehehe, that’s one of the best parts to be honest. You were pretty cute yourself too, Rina. A lot more pliable than usual~. The tall girl took another long swig of her coffee as she tried to suppress her embarrassment. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheheh, it was just easier to go with the flow… She cleared her throat and turned back towards me, smiling as awkwardly as ever. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So no complaints, then? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: None whatsoever. We’d already talked about doing something like this during our group rehearsal, so as far as I’m concerned everything went perfectly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Welllll, “perfectly”, haha. I coulda mayyybe done without going back to sleep in a sticky mess, but other than that, I think I’m on the same wavelength. Nia elbowed Rina lightly as she ribbed her. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: My bad, my bad… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh Nia, don’t tease her too much. When don’t we wake up in a sticky mess? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeaaah, point taken hehe. The three of us continued eating breakfast as we talked, bantering and joking about the night and how everything had gone. Eventually, inevitably, we came to the topic of today, and the plans Rina and I had for Nia. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So what was that whole deal with your plans for today? You guys were giggling about it last night and made it sound spooky as fuck. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, yeah I guess I could see how it would’ve come across like that, huh? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehe, sorry hun. We were just excited. It’s nothing //too// out there. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well? Hehe, spill it then — I wanna hear how you’re gonna manage to top all the shit you’ve already done for me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not so much topping it, more another complementary addition to make the weekend more fun. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: If you want it, anyway. It’s an optional thing. Nia was on the edge of her seat as we eased into the explanation. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Augh c’mon, hahaha, you’re killing me now! Stop teasing and lemme in on it! We couldn’t help but laugh with Nia as she begged. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Okay okay, sorry. Didn’t mean ta string you along. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We thought it would be fun to have —how would I say this — casual sex over the rest of the weekend to go along with your leisure time. Since you like being the center of attention, and you also like being…”used” for pleasure, I guess is a way to phrase it, Rina and I thought you would enjoy it if we just grabbed you whenever we felt like it, regardless of what anyone was doing, and went at it. An indecent smile spread Nia’s lips wide as I explained our idea. By the time I was done, she was practically vibrating in her seat. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …When can we start? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Whenever you want to, hun. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, we were gonna leave that one up to you. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, well I don’t think that’s in the spirit of the play, don’t you agree? Rina’s smile slowly morphed to mimic the heat of Nia’s. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Sooo, you want us to just start whenever? Right this second? Nia nodded emphatically. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I think that’s really the only way to do it, if you’re gonna do it right~. My heart hammered against my chest as the two of them leaned in closer to each other, eyes narrowed and breath hot. As soon as it seemed like they were about to close in for a kiss, however, Rina quickly bolted upright and flicked Nia on the forehead. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sounds good to me! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey! Rina leaned over Nia and grinned mockingly. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Fucktoys don’t make demands. I’ll come to you when //I// wanna. Until then, you’re just gonna have to be a good girl and enjoy yourself~. Maybe you can play that game Em got ya, eh? Nia pouted at me, blushing in frustration as Rina sauntered into the kitchen. My love was clearly unsatisfied by our partner’s willingness to exercise the powers of sexual denial she’d been afforded, but, well, given that this was part of the play I doubted the sincerity of her bad mood. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Emmmm! I shrugged and ruffled the top of her head, causing both her pout and blush to intensify. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry hun, those are the rules~. You reap what you sow. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Mehhh! [[Casual entry]]

(text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ahh~! R-Rina waah~! Waaait! Lemme get th-ugh~! Uh! Ohhh~! Nia’s cries rang through the hallway as I swapped the laundry from the washer to the drier. From the sounds of it, Rina had finally decided to give Nia what she wanted. I smiled to myself as I listened to them. It really was a treat to hear the noises Nia made when she was getting worked up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Riiiinaaa stoooop! Augh~! Rina! ~Aaahhhh god~! Nooo~! Not that spot! Ohhhhhh~! Rina I’m gonna die~! //I’m gonna die! I’m dying~!// I walked back into the living room, having finished the load, just in time to see Nia’s character die on the screen to a group of multicolored creatures. She stretched out across the couch with her legs folded against her torso, meanwhile the offending murderer in question was nestled under Nia. Rina had her head between Nia’s legs and her hands on Nia’s thighs, holding the poor girl there as she ate her out mercilessly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Riiiinaaaa, I cahhh~n’t focus while you’re d-doing thaaaat~! I came up from behind the couch and patted Nia on the head, messing her hair up more than it already was with a vigorous rub. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Is Rina giving you a hard time, hun? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Emmmm~ Aahh~ She’s not luh-letting me…hngg~...plaaay! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehehe, I’m sorry hun. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Make her stooop~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hmmm… Well, maybe if you ask nicely she’ll let you finish quickly~? Nia looked at me wide-eyed, betrayed and aroused by my lack of aid to her gaming woes. Rina pulled up after a long drag of her tongue and gave us a wild look. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, heheh, maybe I’ll go easy on you if you beg for it~. Nia puffed out her cheeks in a pout, before grabbing the controller and trying her best to power through it. I couldn’t help but laugh at her pigheadedness; I always loved how stubborn and petulant Nia could be at times like these. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alriiight, just don’t come crying to me when she makes you cum in the middle of a boss~ hahaha! Nia flipped me the bird as she continued trying her damnedest to beat the encounter. She was just too adorable. I was tempted to join them, but there were a couple more things that needed to be done around the house first. If I didn’t get to them, then Nia wouldn’t truly be able to relax and enjoy her special weekend. I took a deep breath and resolved myself. It was basically like edging, right? It would just make everything later all the more sweet. Plus, I couldn’t deny, the play happening so casually without my own involvement was really doing something for me. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Nia had taken to it. I rubbed her head some more before walking away and heading back to finish the rest of the day’s chores. As I left, I called out behind me tauntingly. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: If you really wanna get at her, Rina, then kiss her clit while you stroke the back left wall. She’s got another sensitive spot right there. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Huh!? Hey! Whose side are youuuu~Ohhhhh ffffffucking //fuck you Em~! ~Fuuuuuck you two~! Ahhh~!// Nia lost herself in a series of moans and curses as Rina took my advice, caught between the agonizing thresholds of frustration and pleasure. [[Tag teams]]

I worked on the last of the dishes in relative silence. In the background I could vaguely make out some noises from Nia’s game, as well as her and Rina laughing and chatting, but the clanking ceramic combined with the running water muffled anything of substance. I couldn’t deny the voyeur in me was slightly disappointed that I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but, in some ways, the fact that I couldn’t properly hear them made it even better. Speaking rationally, of course, most of these thoughts were merely my unresolved horniness from earlier. From a less impure angle, I was genuinely happy to hear the two of them joking and talking idly. It seemed like the last few weeks had really closed their distance. Not that there had been some unspoken gulf between them or anything — in fact, they'd gotten along very well even before all this — it was more that they hadn’t had a real opportunity to get close in a less formal manner. Now that they had, it was really showing, and a giddiness built in my stomach the more I thought about it. Seeing two of my best friends come together the way they were made me feel fuzzy in a way I simply couldn't articulate. As I neared the tail end of my work, the soft plodding of bare feet on tile came from behind; interrupting my wandering mind and pulling me back to reality. Arms wrapped around me soon after, the familiar, comfortable feeling of Nia pressing against my back. I’d been feeling a little sore leaning over the sink as I was, so to say this was therapeutic would’ve been putting it lightly. She nuzzled into my hair and tickled my ear with her breath. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heeey, you almost done in here hun? I chuckled at her airy, needy tone. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yes darling, I’ll be out shortly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Well hurry, I miss you… Well now, that was surprising to hear. Nia wasn’t usually //that// upfront about her own emotional needs. Not like that, anyway. I set down the pan I was scrubbing and leaned into her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry love, I didn’t realize. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …No, I’m sorry, that wasn’t fair of me. I know you’re doing the chores so I can chill and not get antsy. So thank you, I appreciate it… I just, you know, wanna be with you more on my weekend. …You didn’t even jerk off when Rina was fucking around with me… A small pang of guilt hit me in the stomach. I guess I’d made a mistake with how I handled that earlier. I had enjoyed the casual nature of the sex, and the light teasing that came with Nia being at our command, but I wasn’t being considerate of Nia’s want for my participation. It had been convenient for me to assume she was taking everything in stride, and that wasn’t okay. I needed to remember that it wasn’t that long ago Nia asked me to be present for her own comfort. Perhaps she could tell I was feeling bad about that, because she quickly put a finger to my lips before I could say anything. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t. You didn’t fuck up. You’re being very sweet today, so please don’t feel bad. I just want to spend some more time with you is all. Kay? I exhaled, then craned my neck to plant a kiss on her cheek. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Okay. You wanna help me with this then? I only have a couple left, then I intended to snuggle on the couch with you and watch you play. It sounds like you two are having a lot of fun out there. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heheh alright, sounds like a good plan. The two of us worked side by side as we cleaned the last of the plates and cups from this morning. As we did, Nia shot me a jokingly judgemental side-eye. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ya know Em, when you said “a couple left”... (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: //You know// I don’t use “a couple” literally. I meant I was close. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re such a nerd about so many things, why don’t you use that phrase right? Just say “a few” or “several”, hahaha. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Heheh, I dunno hun, that’s just how it comes out. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Uh huh. Gotta say Em, kiiiinda feels like I got //played//. Nia theatrically threw her wet hand over her forehead and sighed in sorrow. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Like, I can't //believe// all this work you're forcing me to do. And on my //special weekend//, no less! I rolled my eyes and fought off a smile. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Just think of it like I’m //using// you then, eh? This is part of the play. We laughed and continued to banter back and forth as we eventually cleared the sink of its contents. It took longer than I’d expected, but that might have been due to Nia and I messing around as we washed. Once we actually finished, Rina came into the kitchen and draped herself over us. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hey cuties, you two enjoy the couple’s time? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh, were you waiting for us to finish to come in then? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You didn’t have to do that, Rina. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nah, it’s chill. Seemed like you two needed a minute. Plus the laundry went off, so I went ahead and switched the loads for you. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thank you. I really need to get the buzzer on that fixed so I can hear when it’s done. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeaahh, that’s probably a good idea. Sorry I didn’t ask beforehand, but those sheets //needed// to get in there so I figured you wouldn’t mind, hahaha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Oh, and by the way, Nia, you’ve got some super cute panties in there! I’m jealous. I might have to take a closer look at the ones you’re wearing to compare em~. She punctuated the statement by giving Nia a firm smack on her barely covered ass — her comfort clothing of choice at home typically being short shorts — the sound resonating through the kitchen. Nia shot Rina a smirk as she shifted her posture, leaning further over the counter and turning so she faced us more directly. Rina’s confident smile faltered slightly under the pressure. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You’re not gonna get mad at me for smacking your ass again, are you…? This seemed like a better time to do it… Nia feigned her strict look for a moment, before snickering and grabbing Rina’s crotch with her closer hand. She massaged it with her hand as her eyes flitted quickly toward me, before turning back to her target. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nope, just wanted to put the fear of god in ya for a sec. Payback for fucking with me earlier~. Rina gently rocked into Nia’s ministrations as she made a playfully frustrated face. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hey now, you can’t blame me. You //literally// asked for it. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I think she’s asking for it again. The three of us shared a hungry look, Nia’s hands gliding over Rina’s distended pants and the now fully tented midsection of her tank top. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ya’know Em, I was getting that sense myself~. She slid down to hip level, hands grasping our midsections, and gripped the hem of Nia’s shorts in her teeth. Snarling in a frisky tone, she moved on to aggressively groping Nia’s inner thighs before slipping the flimsy covering from her legs entirely. Now bare from the waist down, Nia was once again truly vulnerable to whatever Rina had in store; something that was immediately capitalized upon. Rina persuaded Nia to bend further over the side of the sink as she spread out her legs and butt, before once again diving into Nia’s most sensitive spaces — although this time from behind, leaving Rina’s face mostly obscured by Nia’s shapely ass. Nia buckled onto the countertop, grabbing the ledge of the sink with one hand and my wrist in the other in a desperate effort to stabilize herself. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ahhh~ G-going in for seconds~? Rina pulled her face back with a smile, a thin strand of fluid trailing from her full lips. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Hehe, felt appropriate since it’s, like you said, your //special weekend//. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeaah~, not th~aah~t I’m complaining, obvs~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: With how wet you //still// are? I’d bet not~. Still, we won’t just rehash. ~I’ve got //bigger// things in store for ya shortly~. Rina’s hand drifted from my hip and joined her other in latching around Nia’s legs and lower back, locking my love in place as she was devoured with horny fervor. Nia responded with equal aggression, grinding her ass into Rina’s face and tightening her grip on my wrist. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ohhh~ //Oh yeah//~! Uggh~! //Fuuuck//, Rina, get //in// there~! //Worship// that shit~! Spasms arced through Nia as she rode the waves of pleasure. I wrestled my wrist from her powerful grasp before replacing it with my hand, our fingers interlacing together in a lover’s hold as Nia sought the support. She turned to me, eyes full of both physical and emotional need. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Emmm~, do it with us. C’mon, please? I want you to jerk off to this~. //Aahh~! P-please please please jerk off to me~! I neeeed it!// I couldn’t resist Nia’s earnest pleas, not that I would were I even able, and quickly shimmied out of my lounging pants to stroke myself. I was painfully hard, and wasted no time indulging in fully at the beautiful spectacle before me. Lord, and they really were beautiful. The way Nia breathlessly shuddered, her hot breath brushing our hands as her mouth hung ajar in pleasure. The way her eyes glazed over too and her loose shirt hung over her shoulder; giving me just the occasional view of her swinging, perky breasts and firm abdomen. She was in pure bliss; an enraptured state I never grew tired of, even when we were keeping it vanilla, and I had only grown to love more with our new sexual explorations. Rina, too, was entirely captivating. As I grew to know her better, I was coming to see her in a new light. Her harsh movements and aggressive approach to sensuality belied a certain mindfulness; the way her strong body handled Nia’s every little movement, considerately adjusting in a way that controlled her and still kept the position from getting too uncomfortable. And the audible ferocity with which she dug into Nia as well, while at first seemingly her own appetite at play, seemed oriented around making a show of it. A show that I was enjoying far too much to endure for much longer — my past excitement was now coming back to bite me, working me up three times as much as I usually would be by this point. Nia stuck her tongue between her teeth and grinned as she watched me pleasure myself. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw, did my little cutie miss me~? You’re so-oohh~ m-messy already, Em~! I nodded wordlessly as I watched, her teasing tone pushing me to greater highs. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Like you have any room to talk, hehe. ~You were soaking down here before I even got started; not to mention how much of your juice has been dripping down my chin the last few minutes~. Rina slapped Nia’s ass again and bit at her other cheek, eliciting a horny yelp in her surprise. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah slut? You like that? Rina wiped her mouth with her sleeve and stood up, before taking off her sweats, deftly slipping on a condom, and pressing her glans between Nia’s glistening lips. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Then you’re gonna love what happens next~. Panic suddenly seemed to grip Nia as the powerful cock spread her entrance open. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ugh, w-wait…Rina, this position might be a - ''uugghh''~! Before Nia could finish properly voicing her concern, Rina angled Nia’s body upwards and //slammed// into her pussy. Nia's mouth gaped and her eyes lost their light for a moment, no longer processing anything in front of her. Her whole body seemed to freeze up and she went completely silent, like her soul had left her body. Rina and I stared, nervous she had gotten hurt again. Within another short moment, thankfully, a low, weak series of horny sounds escaped her, and the tension melted away. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: (text-size:0.5)[~O-oohh~...Ooof~uuuck…~hoo… Hoolyyy…] She shakily took my hand, still holding it tightly in her own, and lifted it up to her mouth. She exhaled erratically into it, kissing the fingers and palm as she did. She must have cum //incredibly// hard just now. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheh, I had a feeling you’d like that one~. Got a feel for you in this position last night, and figured this angle would work nicely~. Glad you like it~! Rina pulled the impaled girl closer to her chest, nestling her between her massive breasts as she continued huffing and making out with my digits. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Can you handle it if I keep going? Nia simply nodded and muttered affirmatives, far more meek than usual. It reminded me of the first time we’d all had sex, with Nia ending up completely overtaken by Rina’s power and size. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Good, cause I don’t think I could stop at this point…! Nia quickly fell to pieces as Rina began thrusting in earnest, using her, as we’d promised, like a proper sex toy. [[Nia POV: A certain little detail]] [[Nia drops the bomb]]

(text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nia~! Em~! I’mmm…! Nghh~! YES! This was my //favorite// part~! What I’d been craving! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Do it~! Cum for me~. As hard as you can, Rina~! I wanna feel //everything//~! //And I did//. She came so fucking hard, but I might’ve cum even harder. My head went white, I was flying. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t do anything; my toes curled, hands cramping as they locked together, sweat pouring, hot flashes lighting me up with every jump of her dick! Ahhh, the surge as her condom filled up~. The way it stuck inside me! The fact that I could feel //any// of this so clearly at all~! I was so full…so stretched. It drove me wild. I never wanted this to end! But, unfortunately, dick didn’t last forever, and, as I’d learned last week, it was probably better that orgasms didn’t either… The fun had to come to an end sooner or later. I came crashing down — though, very literally in this case. I lost grip of Rina’s neck at some point during my high, my hands sweaty and weak, falling off her lap and onto the bed. I stared up at the ceiling, disoriented by the sudden impact and the powerful, gaping emptiness I felt between my legs. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oup! Shit, sorry Nia… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Are you okay, hun? Em and Rina both looked down at me from above, concern on their faces. Had I really fallen that far…? I guess I did, Rina was pretty tall after all… I tried to get up, but my limbs felt like spaghetti; it was almost as bad as last year’s state swim meet…//almost//. I wasn’t that out of shape yet…right? It’d only been fourish months since I quit the team… Frustrated, I settled for giving them the thumbs up. Em gave me a warm smile and pulled me into a hug. He was always so warm after we fucked, and it had only been getting more welcoming since we started including Rina. It was comforting; his smell, his small body and the surprising strength in it that let him hold me, the way my breath hitched and my chest tightened. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thank you hun, I love you soooo much~! A tingling sensation trailed through my head as he whispered softly in my neck. Everything was so right — I wouldn’t trade this for anything, these small moments of aftercare he always gave me. //Ah maan, this was real bliss~!// Em gently let me back down onto the pillow before stretching as he stood. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You guys relax for a minute. I’ll get everyone some water. We’ve been going at it for a couple hours now. I think we could all use a break. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Whoo damn, definitely. Grab me a big one Em, if ya don’t mind, I’m thirsty as all hell. I felt Rina fall next to my feet, her weight causing the whole bed to shake along with her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hahaha, finally feeling tired? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hah? I was //"tired"// an hour ago, dude. I’m friggin whooped, haha! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m honestly surprised you’re not dehydrated by now, with an output like yours. I mean just look at that condom. Curious, I stole a glance at the small balloon of cum as Rina peeled it off her still semi-hard cock. My throat tightened as I watched her. Jeez, she was really…something… It really did look like it was gonna explode… How did it stay intact after all that? How was all of that inside me? It would be funny if…if it weren’t so… (text-colour:magenta)[How did she put out so fucking much~…?] A thrill ran down my spine. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ahaha, yeaaah. I’ve always uh…cum like…this, ever since I can remember. It only got worse when I got into basketball, cause I started taking supplements and drinking a ton of water. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Aahh, well that makes some sense… Em paused like he had more he wanted to say. He probably did, judging by that cute look on his face. It was the one he always had when he got extra curious about something, like he was trying to solve a puzzle. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …If you don’t mind me asking, what brand of condom do you use? Not to put too fine a point on it, but you’re //by far// the most well endowed person I’ve ever seen, and on top of it you cum //so much//…I’m always kind of surprised that your condoms never break. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ah, yeah…I, uh, actually…I have a special brand that I buy. There are some companies you can use to get custom made condoms, you mighta heard of them. I was, uh, referred to one by my family doctor, and they hooked me up with special rubbers that work for me and my…body. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s really interesting, I didn’t know you could get referrals for that sort of thing. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I’m not sure if that’s how it works normally, my case probably isn’t a good metric to judge by… We all sat in silence for a short while. For whatever reason, Rina was becoming more and more awkward about the topic with time. If pushed too much further, she’d almost definitely play it off or clam up. Thankfully, Em seemed to pick up on that as well, dropping the topic and standing up with an energetic puff. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well, either way, I think I’ve put off getting the water long enough. Nia’s going to shrivel up at this rate, hahaha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ahaha, she does seem pree wiped out. Can’t blame her; like I said, I’m in the same boat. Oof, they really weren’t wrong… I could definitely keep going, but I was starting to feel a little woozy… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’ll see if I can’t get something whipped up to fix that. I think I have some energy drinks and hydration-aids stashed away in my pantry for cramming sessions. Those’ll function as a good pick-me-up. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hell yea, sounds like a plan! As Em left, I felt myself start to space out. Man, I really was tired… Before I could drift though, Rina laid on the bed next to me and stared up the ceiling. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Was I being a little weird just now? Oh? Rina didn’t usually open up like this. She’d been dropping the cocky act more lately, yeah, but she hadn’t really gotten to the point of discussing her behavior with us yet. I turned and tried to focus on her question. Even if I was tired, it might be important to listen to what she had to say. I cleared my throat and tried to speak quietly, in case she wanted the conversation to be more private. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …A little? Nothing too bad. Are you doing okay? She sighed and turned over, facing me directly. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Sorry, I get a little…funky about medical stuff. I hope Em didn’t take it personally. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, he didn’t. I promise. If anything, I bet he’s worried he hurt your feelings. Condoms aren’t “medical stuff” for most people, I don’t think, so he’s prolly thinking he wasn’t being considerate. Rina exhaled with a groan and put her hand over her face. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Augh, I don’t want him to feel bad about it! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s all good, Rina. Just tell him how you feel when he gets back. Em bounces back from stuff real quick. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah…yeah, you’re right. I’m being silly, sorry. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re good, dude. And what have we said about apologizing so much? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Alright, alright! …I just feel kinda childish, ya’know? I mean, like, I just feel like a teenager, getting so twisted up about condoms and shit like that. For fucks sake, my doctor said I’m basically shooting blanks! I don’t even //really// need em if my partner is clean, I just wear them cause…haah, I dunno, my bad. I’ll nut up and talk with him about it when he comes back. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t sweat it, Rina. We had a good time, now enjoy the aftermath a lil. We’re aaall good. We settled into a comfortable silence as we waited for Em to come back. He sure was taking his time. Bet he couldn’t find them, hehehe… … …Hmm? Wait, something didn’t…did…I hear her right…? It clicked, and my haze slowly crept back in with a vengeance — and this time, it wasn’t just from cumming my ass off — as my fried brain failed to take in the absolute bombshell Rina’d just casually dropped out of nowhere. It was so nonchalant I didn’t even register what she’d said at first! She was “shooting blanks”? Rina was infertile…? A swirling clusterfuck of powerful emotions swelled, threatening to overwhelm me — all at once I was horrified, confused, sad, curious, and…aroused? No. Oh no no no no… What the fuck was wrong with me? This was a condition she had! I shouldn’t be thinking about it like that. Yeah I was still kinda hornybrained, but that was so, so not cool… …But…no matter how I felt, she seemed like //she// was cool with it… Did that not count as “medical stuff” to her or something? Did she mention it because we were already on the topic? The way she brought it up was so offhanded. She seemed way more conscious of the details about the condoms themselves than her infertility. Why…? Was she just being awkward? … …Maybe Rina’s impotence didn’t actually bother her at all? Did it have to do with her weirdness about the condoms? …Was she trying to //hint// at something? …//Maybe// she didn’t like wearing them…? (text-colour:magenta)[If that was the case, she didn’t need to beat around the bush. She doesn’t have to wear them if she doesn’t want to~.] My eyes drifted to the many discarded condoms Rina had left around the room, each one bulging and distorted from our fun. Each of those had been inside me at some point. (text-colour:magenta)[What a waste…all of that could’ve been inside you right now~.] Unconsciously, I clenched at the hungry void in my belly. My mind was racing all of a sudden, full of perverted new ideas I hadn’t really entertained before now. Doors I didn’t even know were open… …Well, I //was// already on the pill, after all…the condoms were mostly for extra security…but if she’s…I mean…do we really need them at all…? Could we just…? … C’mon Nia, w-wasn’t this going too far…? (text-colour:magenta)[Why would it be?] Well…she’d…inside me…that’s kinda… (text-colour:magenta)[Kinda-sorta insanely hot? You’re right! All that cum? You’re wet just thinking about it~.] …E-Em…might not like the idea… (text-colour:magenta)[Please girl, this is just like one of your roleplays. He’d say yes in a heartbeat~! And can you IMAGINE the expressions he'll make? Don't you wanna see that~?] …Yeah, but… (text-colour:magenta)[Em never wears condoms with you anyway, so what’s the harm?] …I…I don’t… (text-colour:magenta)[Betcha anything he wouldn’t even mind if you started without him~...] …Shit…shit shit shit…! I really, really need to talk with Em…! [[Nia drops the bomb]]

The last several hours had been an absolute whirlwind of sex. All hell broke loose once Rina and Nia went at it in the kitchen, and the day’s plans fell to the wayside in lieu of our sexual escapades — each activity, every location, all overwritten in some way by our play. We did it during lunch, playing games, watching Youtube videos, and even while changing the last of the laundry. …Honestly the sex had taken up a greater ratio of the day than I’d anticipated. It was already mid afternoon, and with the rate at which we were going I was positive that, come morning, there wouldn’t be a single portion of my small apartment unstained by our collective fluids. For now, though, we all lounged on the pullout couch and watched one of Nia’s favorite movies. Rina and I reclined on either end of the makeshift bed, while Nia chuckled at a punchline as she relaxed between us — utilizing me as a pillow and our friend as a footrest. I was relieved to see that Nia, while still stewing over something, was in better spirits than before. When I had returned to the room after our last round, having amassed a small collection of ice waters, energy drinks, and powdered additives to help us recoup, I got the distinct impression that our group was in need of a recess. Rina was half asleep, and Nia was zoned out in a sense beyond mere fatigue. Had I taken too long looking for the beverages? Admittedly I’d put them in a counter-intuitive spot within the depths of my pantry, so I had been gone for a while… Regardless, whatever the cause of it was, it had seemed a good time to stop. And so we laid together, wrapped in a comfortable air as we took in the cheesy romantic comedy which brought my love so much joy. I held Nia close as we cuddled. Allegedly I was watching the film — and with the amount of times I’d seen it, no one could reasonably prove otherwise — but in reality I was captivated by Nia’s far off gaze. It had been a while since she was this spaced…usually I was the one trapped in my thoughts after sex. I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through her head. I doubted it was any displeasure with how her weekend had shaped up thus far — in fact, unless my love had suddenly changed once more without my knowledge, I was positive she was still in the mood. The way she occasionally squirmed as her eyes wandered over Rina and I was a dead giveaway. Perhaps she simply wasn’t ready to keep going. Well, even if it was something more serious, she didn’t seem prepared to share her feelings yet. I resisted indulging an ask, as much as the impish desire to pry did scratch at the back of my mind. In these rare circumstances, she had a range of responses; sometimes she opened up and we talked it out easily, sometimes she got defensive and embarrassed. The frequency of the latter had lessened over the years, but I wasn’t sure where she was at the moment, and satiating my curiosity wasn’t worth potentially stressing her out. So, as much as I wanted to know, it would wait. She’d tell me when she was ready, I just had to be ready to listen when that time came. And, to my surprise, that time came sooner than expected. About halfway into the movie, as Rina fully drifted off and the shadows of the day grew long, Nia gently crawled up from her laying position and onto my lap, settling comfortably against my chest and pinning me with her weight. She rested an arm on the top of the reclined couch and nestled her face into the crook of my neck, while her other hand caressed the opposite side of my body in light, aimless lines. Stuck as I was from her body pressing me down, I had been expecting her to attack me; for her to nibble at my neck or some other more overt approach, as she so often did, but not this time. Instead, she continued her array of light, loving touches. Her nose and lips traced along my hairline, leaving only a tickle and the impression of her warm breath lingering behind. She cradled my jaw in her free hand and brushed against the bottom of my ear, suggesting my face to rub against her own — guiding me in that firm, yet considerate manner Nia knew so well. I let her lead me, submitting my moves entirely to her whim. It was a contrast of intimacy and control that made my heart race more than any single word of affection ever could. That being said, the sweet inarticulate nothings and small noises that occasionally escaped her certainly didn’t hurt the mood. After some time spent lavishing me with her tenderness, Nia eventually pulled back and stared into my eyes. There was a remarkable clarity in them, and it felt like she was peering deeper into me than I could truly comprehend. A range of colors washed over her face as she did, some troubled, some pleased, and all complicated. I wanted to ask if she was alright, but felt that this was the moment I’d been waiting for, and stayed silent in anticipation. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Hey… Her voice was quiet, and not just because Rina was asleep. There was no weakness in her, however; despite the pause, she was careful and considered — it was a purposeful whisper which carried a great deal of weight behind it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Do you trust me? I felt confused for a moment. What was she talking about? Of course I trusted her, there wasn’t anyone else on the planet I trusted more than Nia. But, looking at her face, I realized she was being very serious. It was clear the question hadn’t been asked in jest, nor was she intentionally stating the obvious. She meant something ''more''; more than the trust that was normally expected of a significant other, something of a far greater gravity. I met her strong gaze and squeezed Nia in as assuring a fashion as I could, trying to impart the solidity I felt in her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I do. I trust you, Nia. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You promise? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I promise. She closed her eyes, before her expression settled and she pulled herself against me once again. While buried in our hair, she whispered softly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …I’m only gonna ask this once…kay? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, shoot. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You always say you want me to do what I want…and… She took a slow, deep breath. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You said this was my weekend, and I could be spoiled. So…I wanna…take the reins and do whatever I want…with Rina… I wanna let loose, like, actually go nuts for a lil bit…and I don’t want you to //ask// anything, or to //do// anything, unless I say you can… The only thing I need you to do…and…and you need to please promise me you’ll do it…is you need to look at me the //whole// time. Don’t take your eyes off me, not even for a second. Okay…? She pulled back and pressed our foreheads together, an expectant feeling in the air telling me she was finished. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …I promise. I trust you, hun. Like I’ve said before, please do what you think sounds fun. Indulge yourself. I love you, and I want you to have a good time. You deserve it. She stared at me for a moment, processing what I’d said…or, rather, what I’d given her permission to do. I couldn’t lie and say I wasn’t slightly jittery at just how seriously she’d made her proposal, but, far from simple nervousness, I was enduring a cocktail of powerful feelings — most of them positive, if nuanced. Nia took another deep breath and centered herself. She stroked my face one more time with her hand, then allowed the smallest smirk to creep onto her face. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Make sure to enjoy the show, you perv~. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: With an actress like you at the helm? I’m sure it’ll be a perfect 10. Her smile grew as she slipped from my lap, and proceeded to sit close to Rina and lightly massaging the sleeping girl’s arm. She shot me one last wink, before laying her head on Rina’s breasts and rubbing her arm with more enthusiasm. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Gooood mooorning sleepy head~. It’s time to get up, Rinaaa~. Rina stirred from her nap, blinking her bleary eyes as she gradually took in the surrounding scene. Nia resting on her bosom and me sitting on the far end of the couch facing them. She rolled her neck and stretched her arms a little, while being careful to not move Nia from her perch. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Guhh…oof, ohh…man…sorry guys, I guess all the fucking caught up with me, eheh. Nia put on an exaggerated pout and frowned at Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Was my //favorite// movie really that //boring// for you…? A measure of distress painted Rina’s face, and I couldn’t blame her. Nia’s acting was perfect; everything from the warble of the voice to the expression calculated to make Rina feel as bad as she could without alarming her outright. Poor Rina; were I half asleep as she was, I might have fallen for it too. I wanted to reassure her that Nia was just teasing…but I promised Nia I wouldn’t intervene, so I held my tongue. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: W-wait I didn- (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No no, I get it. Haah…I totally understand… You weren’t getting any ass, so…I guess this was a good time to hit the hay. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Aw…aw Nia, I…! We fucked like all day dude, c’mon! I really wasn’t trying…to… Rina trailed off as Nia’s impish grin could not contain itself any longer. A real pout crossed her face as she realized she was being played with. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ha ha ha, you’re very fucking funny. I’m goin- Nia interrupted Rina again by leaning into her, pushing the two of them together into a full kiss. Nia quickly pulled back and licked her lips, before diving in again for seconds. Then thirds. She swayed to and fro as she made out with Rina in longer and longer intervals, punctuating each one with a few words. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sorry Rina…I didn’t mean…ta make…you…upset…lemme…make it…up to you~. They stayed locked for a minute, then several more, progressively becoming more bold with every move they made. Moaning into each other, biting, and tonguing, until they were short on breath. Nia pulled away once more, her eyes scouring Rina’s body. Her eyes, quickly followed by her hands, fastened to Rina’s chest, the buxom girl’s mountains now showing their peaks through the thin shirt Rina had packed as sleepwear. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Mmm~! Nia-mmf! Yet another kiss, silencing Rina from expressing herself in any way other than pleasure. Nia continued her aggressive moves, slowly pushing down Rina and taking her apart until she was unfocused and tenting her already thoroughly worn out sweatpants. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Haah…heheh, forgive me yet~? ~Ma’am~? Rina gave a hungry, wolfish grin of her own, thoroughly worked up by this point. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Almost…give me a few rounds to think about it~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah~? Nia giggled as she shimmied her pants off in a rush, then latching onto the hem of Rina’s and doing the same. Rina’s cock slapped against her upper abs, and Nia playfully gave it a few pumps as they undressed. Upon Rina grabbing a condom from her pack, however, Nia proceeded to snatch the customized prophylactic away from our partner — tossing it out of reach without a care in the world. Nia then spread herself with both hands, grinding most of the titanic, raw dick against her pussy and ass. Rina was frozen, looking down agape as her unprotected sex was enthusiastically hotdogged and slathered with ample fluids. Nia’s smile split wide at the stunned reaction. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What if I sweeten the deal for you~? [[Raw (WIP)]]

(align:"<==>")+(box:"===XXXXX==")+(text-style:"bold","underline")[''WIP''] The relationship between the three evolves! Will raw sex become the norm? Will this escalate further? How will Em handle Nia changing before his eyes? Can Rina control her feelings for Em? What is Nia's fascination with Rina and Em getting closer? Are the threesomes intensifying? Lucy joins the party!? All these and more, coming up next time on Between Us Three - Branch A! (text-colour:orange)[Lucy]: Why should I cover up? C'mon dude, we're the only ones here~. Live a little~! <img src="https://files.catbox.moe/qk86h2.png">

Lucy is a 22 year old woman in her fourth year of college. She is Nia’s de facto best friend, and the unofficial leader of the university's swimming club. She went to the same high school as Emery and Nia, but has actually known Nia since she transferred in their first semester of fifth grade. Because of their bond from a young age, she loves Nia to death and views her as the sister she never had. Works as a pool inspector and QA adviser for a subsidiary of her parent's resort conglomerate. When she isn't at school and isn't doing her club activities, Lucy is often traveling for her job. She's very grateful her job lets her see so many parts of the world. Her favorite hobby is swimming, but when traveling she likes to socialize and bar hop as well. She also adores reading comics; from the American Golden Age to Victorian Isekai Manhwa, there's nothing she won't read if given the chance. Some of her physical traits: -Seafoam green eyes -Short blonde hair, which she either wears in a shaggy style or pulls back with a hairband. -Has a beautiful, girlish face -Slightly above average height (5'7"/174 cm) -Peach colored skin, speckled with freckles -Svelte figure with medium sized curves Some of her other traits: -Confident and boisterous -A true socialite, makes a friend wherever she goes -Very flirty, often has one night stands with men she likes -Too loud for some people -A ride-or-die friend -Wishes she was better at cooking

(text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But on a more serious note, are there any specific rules we need to talk about? We should probably get around to figuring that out. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You’re right, I suppose we should get down to brass tacks. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Even Rina can be surprisingly business minded sometimes, huh? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Careful of glass houses hun. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh shush, hehe. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Naahh nah, haha, it’s nothing like that. You're the one who initiated this whole convo in the first place, Nia. Being real, I would’ve just eaten breakfast and hung with you guys without thinking much about it. So it’s more like…y’know, I’m excited, and I wanna make sure… Rina cleared her throat as the mood sobered up somewhat, slowly coming down from the novel high my proposal had set. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I want… I mean, I wanna make sure we’re all on the same page, you get me? I’m hyped, but I feel like I’m out of my depth here. Like we were saying earlier I can sorta just guess what you want based on your reactions. With this though? If we’re going harder then I don’t want to risk that approach. She fiddled with a stray lock of hair as she continued. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heh, I’m kinda rambling aren’t I? Lemme back up. You’re giving me too much credit; it's less that I’m “business minded” and more like I’m throwing responsibility to you two, haha. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not at all Rina, I’d say you aren’t giving yourself //enough// credit. It’s important that we establish solid ground rules, especially if we’re dabbling in some emotionally charged roleplay. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Not to mention, you don't have much experience with this. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Exactly. Meanwhile, Nia and I have experimented with this play pretty extensively over the last year. Even if you like this stuff too — and again, please say anything if you don't — I feel your approach of "throwing” it our way is hardly unfair. That being said, I was a tad skeptical. Not that Rina was lying, more that it struck me once again how skittish she was acting this semester. Between that, what she said earlier, and the relationship drama she’d hinted at… It was hard to pin down, all I could say was things seemed to be more complicated than Rina let on. Not that it was my place to dig into that, of course. Or to comment on at all really. In all likelihood, I was simply indulging in more of the dreaded overthinking the girls //just// gave me grief for. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em’s got a point, Rina. It’s for sure better that you’re taking this seriously, we appreciate it. I didn’t mean to imply earlier that you weren’t, my b if that’s what it sounded like. I was just messin’ around. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Hehe well aight, if you guys insist. Sor- ah, right… I was just gonna say I sounded kinda…forget it, doesn’t matter. I was thinking out loud as I talked, that’s all. Let’s move on and figure out our gameplan. Blatantly eager to move on from her fumbling pseudo-apology, Rina stretched her posture upright and eased closer to us. Nia and I followed her lead; it was more polite than trying to dwell on whatever Rina kept to herself. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: So what next? I’ll do my part to make sure Em is “involved and present”, and we agreed you'll help me with the direction, but what else? For a brief moment we all sat in silence, concentrating on any fringe factors that we may have overlooked. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Em being involved right now is really the biggest one for me. As long as that's covered I'm gucci… Nia paused and raised a finger before finishing her thought. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Though…I guess we should add a little more affection to our cooling off sessions. Em and I always do that when we get nastier — don’t want any hurt feelings afterwards ‘n all that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That tracks. I could see it being necessary, for sure. No offense Nia, hehe, but you are totally the type to go wild in these situations. Nia cocked a brow and smirked at Rina’s jab. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What? Still sore from being put in your place last night? I failed to contain a snort as Rina groaned sheepishly, no doubt recalling the memory of their competitive spat late into the night. Apparently Nia had thought Rina was getting a little too comfortable in the dom role, what with the snarky attitude and ass slapping, and decided she would show Rina how it was done. The image of Nia gripping the much larger girl’s ankles and hoisting them into the air was still burned into my mind. I got the impression that was doubly true for Rina. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: No! I felt better after showering this mor- actually, I… A-anyway, we need to focus! We don’t have a ton of time before you guys have to get going. Nia laughed and grappled the now crimson Rina, holding her captive against her breasts. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: How convenient for you, eh? I’ll let you off the hook this time, hehehe, but remember what Em said about glass houses and all that jazz. Barely weathering her shame, Rina pulled away and fixed the loose strands of hair Nia had frizzed up while fooling around. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehe, she got you there Rina. You’re not wrong though; as fun as it is to mess around, we can’t keep going on tangents like this. The last topic you two were touching on segued rather neatly into a point I wanted to make, so let’s roll back to that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: First and foremost, I want everyone to take care of themselves. I know that //sounds// simple on the face of it — we’re all adults here and we can define our own limits, after all — but it can get complicated. To that end, I don’t want us hiding anything about how we feel. Rina and Nia both shifted slightly at this — the former’s eyes shifting away, and the latter crossing and uncrossing her legs. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well, maybe I worded that a bit strongly. Obviously I’m not saying we should pester each other about every little thing. Everybody has boundaries, and asking for details incessantly can also be a buzzkill. Let’s just try our best to rely on each other. Even if it’s just between you and whomever you’re comfortable sharing it with, saying //something// can save a headache down the line. Does that sound reasonable? After a moment of thought, a heavy sigh escaped both Rina and Nia in near tandem. They looked at each other in surprise as they overlapped, before chuckling airily at the coincidence. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Yeah Em, that’s fair. Clearly I’m a little, uh, stiff, when it comes to sharing my feelings, but I’ll try my best. Nia patted Rina on the back and nodded in telegraphed solidarity. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s not just you, sis. I need to work on this too. It’s hard sometimes, even with a year of practice hahaha. So, let’s work on it together? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, for sure. Just try to be patient with me if I fuck up. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That goes for us too, y’know. We’re only human at the end of the day. Rina placed her hand on Nia’s and met her eyes, an invigorated smile spreading quickly across her face. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: That’s damn true Nia, I like how you put that. We’ll get through this together “sis”, hahaha. For our sakes, and for the //pervert// we’re catering to! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, amen to that! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey now, haha, easy! I’m not //that// bad. Don’t make me out as the villain! The girls shot a pair of condescending smirks toward my defense, leaning against each other and covering their mouths as they snickered. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sorry hun, you are //totally// the villain here. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: An absolutely wretched man, if I’m being honest. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Terrible, really. It’s sad he doesn’t realize how warped he is, hehehe! I huffed and crossed my arms as heat rushed back to my face, flailing to spin my reignited arousal as indignity. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Talk smack all you want, you guys aren’t any better. You two were practically drooling when I proposed this idea! Rina seemed to blank at that, but Nia took it in stride; undeterred by my flimsy repartee. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, and? Why would I apologize for my appetite? //You’re// the one who waved this delicacy in my face, so don’t act surprised when I want a bite~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, she’s right Em. You’re totally the guilty party here! I sputtered, utterly unable to find a biting response. It wasn’t exactly my strong suit at the best of times, let alone when horny and outnumbered. Nia giggled knowingly at my silence, pinching my cheek before returning to her resting position beside Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Alright perv~, was there anything else we needed to talk about? I don’t want to rush, but it //is// getting close to that time. I glanced at the clock and sighed. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Dang, we ought to wrap this up… I had meant to try and leave earlier, but time flies when you’re having fun. And it really had been flying. If we didn’t leave soon, Nia and I wouldn’t even be able to walk together. Suddenly Nia pulled me into a strong hug, nuzzling the top of my head as I leaned against her chest. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw Em, don’t make that face. We had fun, didn’t we? Whoops, my sullen feelings must have made themselves obvious. I’d better assure her I was fine, I didn’t want to bring the mood down before we left. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, it was a good time. Just wishing it would last a little longer. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I getcha hun. The silence sat for a moment as we processed things, before Rina interjected with a hopeful tone. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well hey, we have the group chat for a reason. Sure we can’t hang more today, but there’s no reason we can’t hit each other up after you’re done. Or hell, even during class. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hah! You know how Em is, Rina. There’s no way he’s gonna goof off during class. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Heheheh, not without a couple bad influences he wouldn’t~♪. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But being real, I think it would be a good option. We haven’t touched it much outside planning and small talk, but if we’re trying to communicate as much as possible then this is the way to do it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: True! I think that’s a great idea Rina. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Naah, I’m hardly being creative. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No, furreal. I’m always telling Em he needs to text his friends more anyway, hehe. Maybe this will help him get in the habit. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Look it’s not like I don’t want to, I just prefer talking to people in person. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Okay old ass, hehe, you sound like my dad. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oof, take it easy on me hun. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No way sweetie, you’re the one who asked for it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hahaha, you might’ve bit off more than you can chew here Em. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh don’t worry, he likes it. Well, she wasn’t wrong… Nia tussled my hair before standing, still snickering at her own teasing as she rose. I followed her up, stretching to alleviate some of the stiffness our long talk had instilled. Or perhaps it was a holdover from last night? We //had// been at it for a while… Rina stopped at the precipice of the kitchen as we slowly collected our things. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Are either of you going home soon? Or just somewhere with a fridge? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, I’m stopping by my place before I go to class. Why? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Here then, let me grab you guys some goods for the road. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Girl you paid for it, you don’t need to share all the leftovers with us. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Please, it’s just me here. If you leave me with //all// of the food then it’ll just go bad. Judging from the lack of options in her refrigerator last night, it was hard to believe that was truly the case… Still, it wasn’t worth debating; her dietary choices weren’t our business as long as they weren’t overtly harmful. The reason could be as simple as her having other meal plans tonight. It wasn’t good to assume anything too complicated. In the end, we accepted her offer with grace, shared some warm goodbye hugs, and began our late start to the day. [[The short trip home]]

Nia and I strode briskly toward my home, hands locked and swinging from our pace. Even for Sunday afternoon it was quiet, the odd car our sole proof we weren't alone. It wasn’t often we got such a serene day, especially as closure for such a fine weekend. Normally I would have taken this opportunity to enjoy the scene, but we didn’t have much time for that unfortunately. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You sure we have the time to stop by before you go? I know you don't actually need anything from the house, so don't try to pull one over on me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Wouldn’t dream of it, love. Besides, I do have a reason to go back now. I gestured to the bag on my far shoulder. I’m glad I took Rina up on her offer now, it made for a good excuse. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Can’t let the food go bad, right? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: True true, wouldn’t want that. The conversation died for a moment as we trotted towards the apartment. The huffing of our breath and crunch of our footsteps the only sounds accompanying us. … I sighed, the lack of conversation causing my guilt to well up once more. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hey… are you- ack! Nia pinched the back of my hand and pouted at me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t start up again mister, I already told ya it’s fine. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I didn’t even say anything yet… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I know that tone. I get that you wanted to spend some more personal time together before we split, and I appreciate the thought, just didn't work out that way is all. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Okay okay, I’ll relax a little bit. I just feel bad. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That’s what I'm saying you frickin’ goober. It’s not all your responsibility. I'm not tellin' ya how to feel, but I accepted the apology like twice already hehe. We got caught up in the moment and lost track of time, happens to the best of us. Nia ruffled my hair and pulled me closer, halting our pace to briefly lean against me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Just ease up a lil, aight? You’re making it sound like you regret the convo we had at Rina’s. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You know I don't… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I know, and you know I know that too. Just think about how it sounds, that's all. She tapped me on the arm before playfully pushing me away. A condescending smile split her face as she put her hands on her hips. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So stop moping. Didn’t you wanna spend some time with me? You’re working against yourself here hahaha. Oof, I couldn’t deny that… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Tell you what: you’re gonna make it up to me tonight, and we’ll be square. Kay? I might not be able to come over, but as soon as I’m done with the kids you’re mine. Nia paused before she continued, a flush coloring her soft features. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well, mine and Rina’s anyways. Assuming you don’t mind jumping into her suggestion right away obvs. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: To chat more? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well su~re, but- She took my hand and pulled me close again, before speaking in a hushed, heavy tone. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: -you won’t be satisfied if it’s //just// chatting, will you~? A thrill filled me as her foxy tone echoed in my ear. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehe, someone’s still buzzing. Sounds like //you’re// the one who wouldn’t be satisfied. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, and I’m not making that a secret~. So don’t deflect, own up. I know you feel the same. It’s not like you weren’t half hard the entire time you were trying to sell us on this direction~. The blood rose to my face once more, doubling the heat already present from the jog. I scanned the surroundings one more time as I adjusted my pants. I knew that it was a quiet day, but still… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Down girl, hehe. Nobody’s around, but I don’t wanna get caught hard out and about like this. She barked a harsh laugh at my attempt to de-escalate. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I didn’t hear you complaining when Rina and I were all touchy at Leyland’s. Why the cold feet now, hun? Can’t hang when //your// skin’s in the game? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Wha- no. I mean, I didn- (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, save the excuses cutie. I’ve got your number~. Picking up the slack, Nia dragged me along with her before I could respond properly. Were it not for the huge, perverse grin now etched onto Nia’s face I may’ve worried she was legitimately annoyed by my mild hypocrisy. She was being a little harsher than usual, more manic. She really was still riding that high from before. God, she always looked so beautiful when she got like this. Struggling to contain myself, I settled for giving Nia a quick peck on the cheek. Perhaps feeling the same way, she quickly returned the favor threefold against my temple. We shared another smile and squeezed hands, wordlessly affirming our feelings. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m glad you’re excited about it too~. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oh that’s an understatement, sweetie. I can’t wait~! [[Breaking the ice]]

Shakily wiping the lube off my hand, I angled my phone downward and took a pic of the bloated condom hanging off my cock. I made sure to lay it slightly against the floor in front of me, just enough so that they could see it distort. I wanted to make sure they could really //feel// its weight~. Happy enough with how it looked — and too impatient and horny to fuck around with it more, if I was being honest — I sent the pic to the group chat. (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Another one for ya (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:35pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Top that if you can Nia 🤭 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:35pm] The second I was done I tore off the condom and grabbed another one. I kept going as soon as it was on, slathering my semi-soft shaft with lube while my ass pounded into the wood panel laminate. I gasped in pleasure every time I swung my hips. ~Fuucking hell, the suction dildo I’d stuck to the floor was hitting //exactly// where I wanted~! It hurt a little, but I could //not// give less of a shit right now. I stared at the phone as I got off, waiting for Nia to send her own post-nut pic in response to mine. Impatient for more stimulation, I began scrolling through the texts we already sent. Blocks of lurid description and shots of Nia’s incredibly tight body greeted me, revving me up as the moments replayed in my head. The one right before I came might’ve been my favorite, my attention drifting to it over and over again. Nia had sent a full body backshot and asked Em how badly he wanted to see it covered. She goaded him about how much he wanted to see me take her, flashing the wetness of her thighs to imply she wanted that too. I also chimed in, telling him he could have whatever spots I missed…~not that there would be any~! Ahhh man, the way his normally full, clean paragraphs devolved into fragments, the way the increasing errors showed how eager he was! It was so damn cute! I bet he came as he typed it all out! I hope we were cumming together~! I devolved further into fantasy. I pictured Em and Nia acting as mindlessly horny as me. Nia's smug ass expression twisted with desperation as she slammed three- no, four fingers as deep as they could go — her previous methods //completely// failing to satisfy her now that she’d had a taste of me. Em too, hunched over while he jerked his cute little dick as hard as he possibly could, pleading for me to paint every inch of Nia with my cum~. She would throw head back in frustration and shake her ass in need, then Em would spread it for me; inviting me back where I really belonged. ~And oh fuck, would I prove it to them~! I’d break her in so thoroughly that her cervix would permanently settle out of my way~! Who cares if that wasn’t possible, I’d fuck her so hard I’d //make// it happen somehow! My balls throbbed angrily as I daydreamed, the electric shocks from my g-spot causing them to buzz with every hit; my body demanded we go again…''right now''. I couldn’t have agreed more, I only wished it wasn’t all in my head. God what I wouldn’t’ve given to have them stay over another night~! Or //every// night! I've never felt as drained as I did yesterday, I didn’t even want to jerk off this morning! I hunched over in need, hovering over the phone as I panted wildly. I felt like I was on fire; a feeling contrasted sharply by the cold, lube covered floor sandwiching my breasts and cock. ~Fuuuck, please, please respond soon Nia! I know it hasn’t been that long, but please! ~Ooohhfuckohfuckohfuck~! I need more right now… ~I reeeeally, reeeeally need more~! Like a divine bell, the special notification I’d assigned to our group chat went off. Excited, I let go of my dick and scrolled down to see how Nia took our little contest further. Defying my expectations, however, I did not find a sexy picture of Nia post, or even mid, orgasm. Instead, what I found was a whole ass video! I clicked on it without thinking — unable to consider much besides sex right now — and was not disappointed. Hitting play, I found Nia’s lower body took up most of the screen — the most important point of interest being that her pussy was spread square in my face. Both her hands were preoccupied with it; one dedicated solely to strumming her clit while the other pounded away mercilessly with with a multicolored toy. She was a mess, her thighs and ass completely coated with sweat, juices, and everything in-between. Past her tight belly, I could see her face twisted in total pleasure. She bit her lip as she worked, focus entirely devoted to her impending relief — something that came quickly and intensely. Her whole body shuddered hard as it hit her, pace doubling until flecks of fluid arced off her thrusting hand. Her clit hand shot up to her mouth like a whip, barely managing to stifle her groans of ecstasy as she came like crazy. Heheh damn, she really got some air on that last one. Girl might have //said// she didn’t really vibe with tools, but she sure got along just fine~. Guess it wasn’t toys on their own…I’d have to remember that~. (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: 😵‍ (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:42pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: came so fuckin hard dude (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:42pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: not as hard as last night tho❣️ (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:43pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: already looking forward to next sesh lol (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:43pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: sorry Em (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:43pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: we might have to retire our toy (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:44pm] (text-colour:green)[GroundedMermaid]: don’t think he’s gonna cut it for play anymore lmao 😜 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:44pm] (text-colour:blue)[SpiritoftheLibrary]: Lol, you were always in a love/hate relationship with him anyway. I’m sure he'll be happy for us and our new arrangement! (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:45pm] The swollen, rubber covered crown of my cock slapped against my solar plexus so hard it startled me. Fuck me running, almost busted right there. I knew Nia was competitive, but she fucking blew me out of the water! How the hell did she know my tastes so well already? I was literally just…was she some kind of fucking sex savant? Not to mention Em’s little supporting quip~! If it was anyone else I’d get kinda peeved they compared me to a toy, but the way //they// did it…the way they humanized…“him”… Shit…it catered to me in dark, horny ways I’ve never made public. This sooo wasn’t fair~! I thought Nia and I were supposed to be the ones teasing Em, it wasn’t cool for them to team up and drive me crazy instead! They were killing me! But…that was the best part, it made me want to get them back //even harder//~! (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: You’re so god damn hot Nia! 🥵 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:46pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Like, wtf Em (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:46pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: how do you two ever do ANYTHING but fuck? 😩 (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:47pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: If it were me I don’t think I could ever pull myself out of her!! (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:47pm] I’d spammed out my responses before I even knew what I was doing, all but begging to continue. …Well, why not go all the way and beg? My pride was already hours out the window. Just needed to make it sound more confident. (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: Speaking of… (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:48pm] (text-colour:purple)[Musclecat]: round 3? (text-size:0.5)[- Today at 11:48pm] Eh, close enough. Eagerly awaiting their confirmation, both hands returned to my cock to hold me over. I picked up where I left off, gently edging to avoid cumming too soon. Not that I couldn’t keep going if I did cum, but what small bit of sense I had left knew I needed to pace myself. With any luck, I could keep the fun going for quite a bit longer~. [[Nia POV: Guilty pleasures]] [[Walk and talk]]

Turning off the light, I stepped into the room and sat on the edge of my bed. I stared at the floor for a minute; or what I could make out of it through the dark anyway. And it really was dark tonight…really quiet too. The crickets outside and the sounds of the highway were the only things keeping me company. If they were gone then I’d bet I was alone in the world. I unraveled the towel wrapping my hair and gave it one more ruffle, before throwing it on the floor and myself onto the bed. My hair was all mussed now, sticking to my face and neck from the damp spots I somehow missed. It would’ve probably been better to get a brush, but I just didn’t wanna. I didn’t wanna do anything right now. Even breathing seemed like a pain in the ass. I just stared up at the ceiling, restlessness blanketing me. Still dark…still quiet… My body was heavy, but here I was…wide awake and jittery. Ahhh man, guess it was gonna be one of those nights. Reaching over, I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and held it against my chest. The glass felt nice against my skin. I tried to focus on that feeling, to give myself a little raft in the sea of unease, but it wasn’t enough. When I closed my eyes the dark screen came to life, bringing the last few hours back to mind. The overly horny walls of text, Rina and I jabbing Em…his excited begging…her…body. My heart sped up, pounding as my thoughts started to wander through this whole crazy weekend. The embers in my belly flared again, followed by an aching shiver. C’mon girl, this isn’t a good time… I tried to put it out of my mind. It was late, I needed to sleep. I needed to, but I couldn’t help it. Everything was hitting me all at once. It was like a part of me was demanding my attention, whether I wanted to give it or not. Just a few days ago Em and I were debating if we even wanted to do this, and now Rina and I were teasing Em and sexting all crazy… How did this happen so fast? I wasn’t planning on going that far our first time, but in the moment I just… Fuck, she really cums a lot. I could almost smell Rina’s loads through the screen. I teased Em about being covered in it again…even more than before. He said he for sure wanted that next time. … "Next time", huh? Wonder how soon that's gonna be. If we're texting like this every day I don't know if I'm gonna last the week… We have our sorta dress rehearsal dealio set for either Wednesday or Thursday, don’t we? I wonder… Ugh man, my hornybrain is coming back. I just washed off, but I’m totally drenched again. I was hoping twice would be enough to get it outta my system. I was so rough too, I even used our toy… I wish we had a pool, that’d really get my mind off things. Maybe I could make due with some air? Ignoring the molten lead weighing down my body, I jumped out of bed and made a bee-line for the stairs. Before I knew it, I was out the door and sitting in the yard, nestled in one of the camping hammocks dad left out after the barbecue. The weather was really nice. Although it was still kinda hot, a light, relaxing breeze trailed between the family houses. It wasn’t cold enough to smother my fire — well, I’m not sure anything short of an ice bath would do that right now — but it helped clear my head. The sky was super pretty tonight too, the lack of clouds leaving every constellation on display for me. Being out of the way had its perks sometimes, I couldn’t ever get this kind of view in town. It was a shame I didn’t know much about stars. Normally Em would tell me which one’s which, but…well, he wasn’t here right now. He couldn’t be //here// with me… A sigh forced its way out of me, killing the short peace I’d found away from bed. If I couldn’t get away from it then I may as well tackle the issue head on. I just wish it wasn’t so late, it was so much easier hashing things out with someone else than alone. …So…what’s up girl? C’mon, lay it all out. The sooner you stop putting this off the sooner you can feel better about it. … …C’mon Nia, things are only going to get more intense from here. If you don’t think about this soon then it’s going to seriously bite you in the ass. Was it the direction we’re taking? …I don’t think so? I’ve always loved being prickly with Em here and there, and I //know// Em fucking loves it too~. Rina’s a little klutzy with the play right now, but she seems like she’s having fun. She follows my lead very well, at least, and she’ll only get better from here. If we’re all having fun then I don’t think that’s what’s got me worried, even if things get crazier…//Especially// if things get crazier, hehe. A tingle of something unpleasant mixed in with my otherwise zesty excitement. Ugh, there it is… Okay, think girl… Em always says to try and keep perspective — "ask questions!", as he likes to put it. Let’s back up; what made that happen just now? Maybe I was feeling conflicted about the sex getting crazier? … Nah, that’s not it. Not by itself, anyway. Em and I have roleplayed this stuff pretty extensively I think, so I doubt it’s the content… Was it me having sex with Rina? I did kinda freak…no, I didn’t //freak out//, but I did have some trouble on Saturday. Maybe that was the issue? Hmmm…no, I think I’m feeling okay about that right now. I was scared before we got the ball rolling, but now we've got a plan. Plus the awkward bits are out of the way, so I'm confident I’ll really start to have fun with it from here on out. I mean hell, even just this weekend was… The kernel of anxiety welled up more as I focused on my feelings. I paused before trying to push through it, hoping to root out the problem once and for all. …It was amazing…amazing and new, in a lot of ways. I’ve never seen Em cum so many times in a row…I’ve never had such intense sex before… There were a couple times where I totally lost myself in all the fucking. I even let Rina take charge. Yeah sure, I took it back later, but…the fact I needed to fight her at all was so different. I started to feel agitated the more I dug. I wanted to stop, but I kept pushing. I had to keep pushing. Were we really going to be doing this every week from now on? With my favorite kind of play…? Were we really going to reuse some of our old roleplays, like Em suggested? Even the ones we shelved…? Could…I handle… … //I still don’t trust myself.// The realization twisted the heat in my stomach into a perverted, angry mess. The fact that I was still horny made me even more frustrated now that I knew why I felt this way. Dammit… ''God dammit''! That’s what it was, wasn’t it? That’s why I went //on and on// about how Em was my “only motivation” for this and how the sex with Rina wasn’t better than our usual. I wasn’t saying that for him, he barely even cares if that’s true. I ''know'' that stuff doesn’t really bother him! Shit! I said it for me! I said it for me and I didn’t even notice! (text-colour:red)[//''Wow, only a week in and you’re already lying to them? Old habits die hard.''//] I WASN’T LYING! I wasn’t…right? A wave of nausea washed over me as I got more and more upset. I stopped digging and covered my eyes, trying to distance myself from the overwhelming emotions. … …Why? Why did it always come back to this? I mean, I //know// the reasons — I’d have to be a fucking idiot not to after angsting over this with Em for so many years — but it all felt so stupid! Didn’t I go to therapy for this already? Wasn’t that supposed to be the end!? When was I gonna get over it!? …Haven’t I grown up //at all//? Am I really going to hold on to shit from high school forever…? I cradled my face in my palms, drawing them down along my skin with an agonized groan. I //hated// moping like this, I ''hated'' how dumb it made me feel…but ignoring things obviously isn’t gonna work. I don’t want this to fester again… I don’t wanna hurt Em or Rina because I’m scared of my feelings… … (text-size:0.75)[Why does Em trust me so much?] … (text-size:0.5)[Do I deserve to like this?] … (text-size:0.35)[Am I still a bad person?] … Just thinking about these things made me exhausted. How many times have I asked myself these questions…? How many times have I talked with Em and Lucy about this…? A dark bitterness crawled from my anger, whispering to me as I dwelled on the situation. (text-colour:red)[//''That’s not fair. Of course it’s hard to move on when Em still can’t come over. AFTER ALL THIS TIME, they still haven’t let it go. Yeah, they don’t say that’s why, but you know it’s true. EVERYONE knows. Just another open secret in the family.''//] … (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ughhh! I slapped my cheeks several times, trying to dispel the downpour of negativity. ''Quit''! Suck it up, Nia! You need to get over yourself girl, you’re being your own worst enemy! Don’t fall down these stupid fucking rabbit holes again… Things are going so well right now. Em and I are communicating, we’re having fun with Rina. I miss swimming, but other than that… Man I dunno, why am I acting like this? I exhaled heavily. It almost felt like I was physically venting the anger. I leaned back and took several deep, slow breaths to help cool off. I needed to chill, all this stress was giving me a headache. … Man…the sky really //is// pretty. … I wish… No. No more. I swallowed the rest of my thought and focused on the brightest star I could find…I think Em said this one is the Northern Star…? Or was it the one named after the dog? Cerberus? Serious? …Sirius, I think that’s it. I’d have to ask Em tomorrow. Yeah, maybe I could google it, but…I liked having an excuse to see Em nerd out about something. … (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmm, I’ve never asked Rina how she feels about stars before. I wonder if she’s a fan too. I lifted my phone into the air and took a few photos. Maybe if one turns out I can share it in the group chat. … Guhh…of course none of them would… What did I expect? Wasn’t that how it always went with phone pics? No point not sending it though, it’ll make for a good laugh if nothing else. … Nia, what are you doing? You can’t let yourself get so angry, it doesn’t help. Em’s supposed to be the self-serious one, not you. …“Self-Sirius”...? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Pfft, that’s a good one… … (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heh…hehe…hehehe. No it wasn’t, hahaha! Holy crap dude, I’m so fucking dumb… Alright, I feel a little better after laughing at myself. I think I’m good now. I know Em wants me to do this, and I wanna do it with him too. Getting cold feet because I’m more excited than usual isn’t gonna do me any good. Em always said it’s okay to like what you like, and I know that’s true. Hell, we literally had a talk about it before we asked Rina. I //know// all this. I just gotta believe in it… to trust myself more. I need to believe in myself like Em believes in me. He is okay, I’m okay, Rina’s…well, I’m not sure what she’s up to, but I hope she’s okay too. We’re gonna make this work. Everything’s gonna be okay…and if things aren’t? Then, well, we’ll talk it out as a team. I closed my eyes and took several more breaths as I mulled over my resolution. It didn’t feel very final, but it would have to do for now. Getting that anger and anxiety out will get me through the night, at least. I’ll figure out the rest as we go. [[Walk and talk]]

After roughly ten laps with no sign of Rina I couldn’t go on, leaving me heaving against the facade of Rina’s apartment — the Vicenza, as the huge cursive lettering was quick to remind — while I caught my breath. I fanned my shirt in an effort to expedite the recovery process. It had been a hot minute since I pushed myself this early. I know I was excited to see her, but I might’ve gone a touch overboard in the process. While jogging the idea struck me to check and see if Rina was working out too. Exchanging “good mornings” in the group chat was a nice way to start the day, and following up seemed like it would elevate this otherwise standard affair. At the time I felt it was distinctly possible to catch her — she seemed like the type to jog even before practice with how in-shape she is — but on reflection that was wishful thinking. I don’t know much about Rina’s fitness regimen outside school, and this area is quite large to boot. I’m not sure why I so confidently assumed we’d run into each other by coincidence. Resigned to the fact that I had either missed Rina or misinterpreted her schedule, I shook myself off and began the trek back to my own apartment. I couldn’t lie and say I wasn’t disappointed, but it was hardly the end of the world. I think I was just riding the high of last night and wanted more of it. And what a night it was… The sexting session Nia and I half-planned had really spiraled out of control, and not in a bad way. One moment we were enjoying a wholesome conversation, the next Nia and Rina were trying to one-up each other’s nudes. As soon as Nia had invited “tradesies” Rina went all in, her most private parts laid bare in exchange for Nia’s own. And with my darling’s competitive spirit being what it is, it wasn’t long before things evolved beyond that. Before I knew it, the two were sharing their favorite ways to masturbate and floating horny ideas for the next get together. Nia even begged me to let Rina douse her with all those massive — frankly cartoonishly sized — loads. Or was I the one begging for that to happen…? In my defense I’d crammed a lot yesterday, it was late, and I was several orgasms deep by then. I’m surprised I remembered much of anything outside how aroused I was. A bothersome arousal I was starting to feel again… I tried to drag my mind from the hours of sweaty texts we all shared and think about something less explicit. It wasn’t that I wanted to avoid getting immersed in these memories; far from it, I would enjoy it //too// much. See, the issue here was something rooted solely in my material condition. Jogging shorts didn’t exactly leave much to the imagination, and getting arrested for public indecency was not on my agenda for today. Pulling back, I settled for reminiscing on our chat preceding the sexual pandemonium. We’d never gotten together on a group call like that before, and shooting the breeze while I studied was incredibly fun; surprisingly comforting as well. It was the first time in a while we’d all talked apropos of nothing, which was something we were going to need to do more if we didn’t want the roleplay to warp our relationships. Perhaps we were only comfortable pushing the sexting so far //because// of the good atmosphere we’d set. It’s also plausible it soothed some unspoken anxiety we had yet to address? Nia did seem less anxious than before. …Ooor it could be I was overcomplicating things again, and it didn't go deeper than us having a pleasant conversation… On that note, there wasn’t really anything wrong with shooting Rina a call, was there? I figure she hadn’t gone back to sleep after responding to our texts, and I’m sure she wouldn’t be opposed to having a workout buddy if it fit into her routine. Instead of all this asinine guesswork, it would be much better — not to mention less creepy — to just run it by her. …I wasn’t being creepy again, was I? I hoped not. I just wanted to spend more time with Rina now that we were doing this. Trying not to dwell on that thought much longer, I found a good spot away from the din of traffic and pulled up Rina’s contact. To my surprise, Rina almost immediately answered; a mere ring separating my spur of the moment impulse from reality. She did not, however, say anything upon picking up. The only thing I could make out on the line was a muffled shuffling. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Good morning Rina! Hope I didn’t catch you at a bad time. Strangely, the only greeting I received was an ambiguous clatter. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You alright, Rina? … (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Rina? Are you there? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Ah…haah. E-Em? Uh…hey, ca-can you hear me now? Even more than mine, her voice sounded utterly breathless. Had I actually just missed her, or was she running somewhere else right now? An ember of hope rekindled itself in my heart. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Em? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oops, yeah hey, sorry. I can hear you. Were you talking before? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Y-yeah, ahem…I was, uh…working out just now, so maybe I was a little too far away from the phone? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I thought you sounded a bit winded, hahaha. Sorry if I caught you at a bad time, keep doing what you were doing! I can call back when you’re done. There was a brief pause. It was long enough that I thought maybe I hadn’t heard Rina again. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Rina? Did you say something? Sorry, I think you’re still too far away from the phone. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Whoops, ha ha. Really need to watch that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No problem, it’s probably a sign that we should talk later. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …N-no, uh…let’s talk a little longer... I was saying I’m on the last few sets is all, so…if you really don’t mind then I’ll…keep going while we talk… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Please, I don’t want to interrupt. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …O~okay… Sorry to ask…I’m just really, ugh…trying to push through it. Stay with me…you’ll help me…focus. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh, well it works out perfectly then. Happy to help, haha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ye-yeah. Sorry If I sound a lil, um, rough though, haha. You know how I’ve always been kinda…noisy when exercising. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Come on, you know that doesn’t bother me. As I always say, whatever helps you through the workout. Besides, I’m the one who called you! It’d be pretty silly for me to complain. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~V-verrry true… Why did you call anyways? Not that I’m not happy to hear from ya, but it’s rare for you to call…‘specially since we already said hey in chat earlier. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well I was jogging close to your place and wanted to see if you were interested in joining me. Unfortunately, it sounds like I might’ve called you too late haha. A note of sadness, along with something akin to frustration, crept into her tone. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh…ahh shit, that…sucks. I’m sorry Em… I’d love to, I re~eh… I really would, but…yeah, I’m kinda hitting my limit. N-normally I’d just go out with you regardless, but I uh…I’m not feeling one hundred percent today. I suppressed a sign as she hammered the final nail in the coffin. I expected it given the flow of conversation, but I was left no less glum for that. The soreness of my body ached, as if punishing me for getting ahead of myself. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well shoot, that’s a bummer. I hope you feel better soon. You basically never get sick, haha! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheh, yeah. Don’t worry about it though, I should be fine soon. I just get…get like this in the morning sometimes. That was a surprise. Rina had never told me about her having morning nausea or anything of that nature. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Why don’t ya ask Nia to go with you? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: She doesn’t really like morning runs. Her house is too far away for her to easily join me, and even when stays with me she’s too tired. You saw it first hand. She’s only ever tolerated early mornings for her siblings and the swim team. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Oh…oh yeah, I meant. That makes a lot of sense… W-why ask me though? You help a ton of people out wi~th their club shit, I’m sh-sure they’d be happy to have you. I furrowed my brow, confused by both Rina's question and her tone. A tinge of something akin to impatience started creeping into her voice, almost like she wasn’t getting what she wanted. She didn’t sound irritated, though. She sounded…excited? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Why would I ask anybody else though? I love hanging out with you. Besides, we're about as close as two people can get if you think about it haha! Despite my cheery tone, Rina did not reply. Not with words, at any rate. From the other side of the line I instead received another loud clatter, followed by complete silence. Unlike last time, I stayed silent too, because now I recognized what that clattering noise was: it was the sound of Rina’s headboard hitting the wall. A powerful buzz built in my brain, it suddenly becoming clear that Rina had been “working out” in a //very// different way than was implied. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Rina, you there? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Y-yep…hold on Em…I-I’m st-ugh…still here~. A blush flared on my face as Rina returned. Her voice had been sounding progressively stranger as we spoke, but I didn’t think much of it. Though maybe I just didn’t want to think much of it… Listening to her now, with this fresh context in mind, there was absolutely no mistaking what was happening. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Sorry… I went too deep on that…last squat, and…I’m tryna ride out the burn… ~F-fuuck…one sec, I’m sorry~. Electricity ran through my spine as she moaned apologetically in my ear. Her barely stifled huffing was louder than before, each puff coming through her end clearly as she stumbled over her words. After enduring another minute of Rina’s brain melting noises, she seemed to finally collect herself enough to speak. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Em? …Y-you, uh, still there? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’m still here. A palpable concoction of sexual satisfaction, relief, and guilt flooded her still heavy voice. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh thank god…I’m really, really sorry about that… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …Don’t apologize Rina, if anything I should be sorry for distracting you when you’re, um, exercising. You didn’t hurt yourself did you? Those kinds of injuries are no joke. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: No…I’m alright. I just got too greedy and took in more than I should’ve… I held my tongue at her Freudian slip, the images it conjured overwhelming me too much to lie convincingly. It was a good thing I got off the main road to talk with Rina in private, my shorts were feeling a lot tighter than before… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I didn’t mean to make you worry. I shouldn’t be doing this kind of thing while I’m on the phone… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: As long as you’re alright, that’s all that matters to me. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheh, thanks Em… A thick pause took hold, the labored sounds of breathing our only exchange. Much as I’d tried to keep the pretense she set, I think on some level we both understood what occurred just now. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …I should prolly get cleaned up and ready for the day. Thanks again for calling me Em, I really, really appreciate it. My bad for being so distracted…and for not being able to make it today. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No worries on both accounts. It was a case of bad timing, nothing more to it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Y-yeah. I cleared my throat, trying to dispel the dregs of awkwardness. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Can I get a raincheck on working out together? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Yeah! My schedule at practice is a little different than last semester, but I still usually run around now. Does that work for you? Rina’s voice brightened considerably, though it still held some degree of unease. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s perfect, this is my regular time as well. If you’re feeling better tomorrow then do you want to meet up? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Fee-…? Oh! Yeah, I’m sure I will be! I did my best to not acknowledge the clear confusion Rina held towards her own excuse. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Perfect, it’s a date then! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Y-yeah, heh, sounds good! I’ve uh, gotta go clean up now. See you in class! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: See you then. I stared hard at my screen as I ended the call, my face still ablaze from…the events that just transpired. Rina’s brazenness really caught me off guard. It seems I wasn’t the only one who was riding the high of last night… Images of our sexting session flashed through my mind once again, now partnered by a clear mental image of Rina masturbating to the logs as soon as she woke up. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, trying to ignore the angry throbbing in my pants. What was with the girls getting me all riled up in public? Perhaps I brought this upon myself with our trip to Leyland’s… Not that I was //entirely// opposed, but lord if I wasn't going to need a cold shower to get through the day. I wasn’t sure if I could digest the bulk of this before I saw Rina in person, but I was going to have to do my best. I didn’t want to get too flustered without the girls working for it. Though, this was a very effective method… Hmmm, maybe we need to incorporate more stuff like this into our new play… [[Rina POV: Heat of the moment]] [[Sick days]]

Think about something else…think about anything else! Anything! Please! The drone of the speakers, the purple lights drifting across the wall, the smell of…sex…on my sheets… … Vision blurring, I rushed from my mess of a bed and stumbled into the bathroom. I barely made it before retching in the sink — for better or worse, my empty stomach offered nothing but acid. My body tried several more times to purge the illness, but to no avail. This poison was too deeply rooted for methods like these. I knew that. I held the countertop for dear life until I finally finished, years of familiarity the only thing keeping me up. Turning away from the marbled bowl, I tried to escape the acrid stench. I found no comfort in this distance though, only the mirror. Shivers rattled my bones as the dark silhouette confronted me. Its long hair, matted with bile and cum; face twisted by self-pity and caked on sweat; those large hands and corded muscles, too masculine; these wide and heavy curves, comically feminine; its sore and cumbersome sex, a motive for evil. A shadowy stranger, a human caricature, mocking me with every action it mirrored…with every strangled breath we shared. My chest tightened and the walls of black began to close in. I slumped against the door, fighting like hell to avoid falling over as the room spun around me. The cold tile floor pressed against my naked skin, and still it wasn’t enough. I could barely feel it…I could barely feel anything anymore. All I could focus on was my shallow gasps and the mocking, horrible truths that echoed in my brain over and over again. (text-colour:navy)[//''Good job Nuri, you ruined another one.''//] [[Sick days]]

(text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ugh. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hasn’t gotten back to you either, huh? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Haah, well crap. Nia and I sat on a bench just outside the school grounds, staring anxiously at our phones as we contemplated the situation. Despite the plans we made, neither Nia nor I had seen Rina since Sunday. This on its own wouldn’t necessarily be cause for concern. After all, when the two of us reached out she told us she simply wasn’t feeling well. The problem was that, while that explanation settled us at first, it began to satisfy less as the situation developed. On one hand, we had the way Rina normally conducted herself when sick. She rarely fell ill in the first place — I could count the amount of times on one hand — and when it did happen she was always quite…I suppose I would call it “conciliatory”. Last time I helped the girl’s basketball team with their work, Rina gave us a play by play practically every hour. It was almost like a report. We ended up scolding her about it so she could rest properly. This time, in stark contrast to that prior behavior, Rina has barely spoken to us at all. This coming on the heels of her own recommendation to utilize the group chat more made it doubly strange. Of course Rina could just be incredibly sick, but //that// was a worrying thought in its own right. And this was assuming she was actually sick at all. Which brought us to another concern: a skepticism stemming from what had occurred on Monday morning. After the base sexual thrill of the situation ran its course, the whole thing struck me as strange. At the time I figured she was getting off to what happened the night before and wanted to taunt me about it, but that didn’t pass the smell test the more minutia I considered. The way Rina acted throughout, what sounded like guilt in her tone; it gave me the impression of it all being a big accident. She didn’t //really// try to tease nor sexually entice me, I just got excited by the situation after figuring out what she was doing. Rina said she was exercising too, presumably to cover for her noises, which made it seem like she didn’t want to be found out. Honestly I wouldn’t have if she hadn’t lost her cool towards the climax. Some heat returned to my face as I remembered the dirty details of the situation, the tone of Rina’s voice, and the mental imagery I’d conjured alongside it. I tried to shake it off, focusing instead on the late summer breeze as it danced around me. Even if everything I assumed was all true, it didn’t answer the fundamental questions. Why didn’t she just stop once I called her? Why not tell me she was too busy to talk? Was she really sick, or was she avoiding us? These were things I couldn’t understand without asking her, an action I could not take at the moment. So here we sat — early Wednesday afternoon with our classes behind us — pondering how exactly we were going to approach this issue. I sighed and leaned against the back of the bench, looking up at the sky. All this thinking and I wasn’t any closer to a solution. I turned to Nia, my better, more decisive, half, hoping for answers. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Maybe one of us should send her another message? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah, don’t wanna text her more. She’s been leaving us on read anyway, so spamming her feels creeper-y if it turns out nothing’s super duper wrong. Also, and maybe it’s just me, but I dunno if just trying the same thing’ll really help any. Nia leaned against my shoulder and the back of the bench, rubbing her head as she hummed and hawed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Why don't we just cut the shit and go to her place? We were supposed to have the sesh today, and she //technically// didn’t cancel on us, soooo…might as well. I blanked. That was definitely straightforward, but something about it didn’t sit right with me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I don’t know about that hun… What if she’s really just sick? Wouldn’t we be bothering her? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: We can just let her know we’re headed over when we’re on our way. If she //really// doesn’t want us to for some reason then she can say so. That’s more than enough warning. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: She could easily be asleep though. Missing her window to say no and waking up to us knocking wouldn’t be very courteous. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: C’mon Em, you know she doesn’t act like this. What if she’s like, //really// sick and not “just sick”? She could be having trouble taking care of herself. Hell, forget being asleep, she could’ve even passed out. Despite the gravity of what she was implying, I couldn’t help but smile at her insistence. I’d no doubt many spouses would have written Rina off in this circumstance, perhaps rightfully presuming the worst, but not Nia. When I told her about this on Monday, she was far less perturbed than I anticipated — which was quite the surprise, considering I already figured she wouldn’t be too sore about it. No, instead she was, in some ways, even more worried for Rina than I was. Whether it was a testament to Nia’s love of her friends, or to our ability to communicate calmly, I couldn’t say; I just knew that, above all, it made me truly appreciate how caring a person she is. Of course, she //could// merely be motivated by petty grievance, but I knew her better than that. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Heheh, and you call me a worrywart. Your inner big sister is showing. Nia pouted at me, a mixture of both playful and genuine impatience coloring her face. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Is not! …and I just don’t see why we shouldn’t. The worst that happens is she’s fine and says she doesn’t want to talk right now. Not that big a thing, and in some ways the best case scenario. What’s the issue? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well…I have to admit, I think you’re right. I just…I don’t know. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Seriously hun? It sorta feels like you’re looking for reasons to not go. Not to be mean, but you’ve got that vibe right now. Oof, perhaps she had a point. Her jab resonated with me, and not in a good way. I wasn’t sure how else to convey what I wanted to say…but maybe I wasn’t sure what I wanted to begin with. I didn’t know what to do, but it did seem like I was more preoccupied with poking holes in Nia’s idea than proposing my own… I bristled at myself, feeling like a bit of a hypocrite. If I was so keen to tout the idea of being communicative then I should practice what I preach. Reality was rarely so straightforward, unfortunately — taking advice when it mattered was a lot harder than giving it. Why was I feeling like this? I had to do better wit - hhng~! I started as a sensual pinching jolted me from my reverie. Nia was grabbing my nipple, gently twisting it between her forefinger and thumb as she shot me a fed up look. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Helloooo, space cadet? Earth to Emery? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Ey, you spooked me hun. Don’t do that. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You weren’t answering, you goofball. Pay attention when we’re talking and I won’t have to. She leaned close to my ear and cupped her mouth, a smug smile developing as she drew near. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Besides, hehe, I heard that cute little squeak you made. S’not like you hate this sorta thing~. It was my turn to pout, shuffling as I blocked her access to my now erect nipples. I knew Nia was mostly teasing to lighten the mood, and she wasn’t wrong either…but now wasn’t the time. Well…maybe I was just taking myself too seriously again. Her easy-going approach helped distract me from my navel gazing…and that //did// feel nice… Rather than retort, I closed the remainder of our distance before suddenly pulling Nia into a big hug. I exhaled heavily as her warmth met mine. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sorry love, I know I’m being difficult. She rubbed my back as she responded, her comforting action contrasted by the condescending tone her voice still carried. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw, don’t sweat it Em. You’re not any worse than usual, hahaha! I pouted further, a smidge of incredulity sinking in this time. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, take it easy chef. Let’s figure this out first, then you can keep roasting my ass afterwards if you really want. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, I’ll have to take you up on that cutie. Just follow my lead, I think I’ve cooked up something we can meet halfway on. [[Unforeseen variables]]

Deep within the rec center’s concrete halls, Nia and I found ourselves sitting on the sidelines of Gymnasium Two; “Little Sister”, as it was — somewhat patronizingly — dubbed for both its smaller size and hosting a majority of the women’s sports events. We leaned against the collapsible bleachers along the court’s perimeter, watching the girls practice as we waited for them to take a break. New and familiar faces weaved together as the team went through their drills. The echoes of their squeaking shoes and urgent call-outs bounced off the walls, creating an atmosphere that felt full despite the gym’s low occupancy. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You sure we’re not bugging them sitting around like this? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, they would have told us to leave already if they didn’t want any spectators. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Fair enough, I guess… Nia rested her chin in her palm and sighed. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: What gives? I thought this would be a good way to see what’s up with Rina, but they’re a lot busier than I expected. We’re still pretty early in the semester. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You’d be surprised. I believe the season starts in November, but they’re probably trying to get a head start on things. There are less people here than usual though. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah there’s like a dozen-ish people on a team, right? I kinda figured at least one of them would be open to talk or somethin’. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well in actual games it’s five people active at a time, with the other seven or so subbing in and out as needed, but during practice they often have a five-on-five with the team captain, coach, and leftover person chiming in. Sometimes they switch it up and do one-on-ones or twooo... I tapered off, Nia’s upturned brow and progressively growing smirk leaving little room to continue. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: So you’re saying my plan’s shit then? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nooo, but I’m just saying it’s not the same as your singles training. There wasn’t really a guarantee anybody would’ve been open. I mean, I see what you were going for; Rina’s not here, so it stands to reason someone may have been available for a short chat. In reality though, they’ll just adjust their plans to account for the missing people. The swim team operates differently, so I understand where the disconnect might have occurred. Nia poked my side, her telltale pout returning once more. She theatrically shoved her face into my chest, dragging her head down as she clutched my shoulders. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That’s a very roundabout way to say my plan was shit. You coulda said something before we came here if you //hated// my idea so much. She stuck her tongue out as she finished. I rolled my eyes at her antics, deciding to go along with it rather than play the straight man. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Alright, you caught me. That is exactly what I was thinking all along. It was a bad plan and I knew that from the get go, but went along with it anyway. Now it’s too awkward to just walk out of here. Happy? She huffed cartoonishly, acting as though she’d been betrayed grievously. Her muffled voice vibrated my chest as she snuggled close, filling me with a comfortable buzz. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You’re such an asshoooole. Deep down I knew you felt that way! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Always have, darling. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Fuck you too. Stop stealing my mean girl bit. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You’re the one baiting me to. We laughed together, trying to stay quiet so we didn’t distract anybody. Although we were just joking around, I did feel //slightly// bad. I hadn’t meant to make her suggestion sound stupid. Coming here and asking the girls if they’d spoken with Rina was a good idea on paper. In the best case scenario, they’d know exactly what was going on, while the worst would make for a good pretense to visit Rina without coming across as being overly involved. I didn’t say anything because I did not want to keep poking holes in her suggestions just because I could. At least she’d had an actionable gameplan, which was far better than my approach. Or rather, as was the case in this instance, my meaningful lack thereof. Still, I couldn’t feel too guilty when she was playing it off in this way. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehehe, you’re feeling really prickly today huh? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m just always in awe of your ability to go on a nerdy rant about anything. We giggled some more at her teasing. Although she’d been digging into me more and more since she was given carte blanche last Sunday, I really didn’t mind. Even when it wasn’t sexually oriented, I tended to enjoy Nia’s ribbings. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Oh really? You didn’t seem to mind when you were asking about astronomy. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Call me a hypocrite then, hehehe. Nia leaned further into me, cocking her head between mine and my shoulder. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: But fine, mayyybe I’m also blowing off some steam. Just feelin’ a lil edgy today, y’know? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Are you annoyed at me, or at Rina? Or is it just in general. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Little of column B, little of column C. Don’t get too comfortable though, mister, or you’ll get caught in the crossfire. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I haven’t already? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Pfft, you ain’t seen nothin’. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’ll make sure to watch myself then, haha. … (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: But don’t go too hard on Rina, alright? We don’t know for sure what’s going on yet. Logically I wasn’t worried about Nia blowing up at her, but my gut warned to be mindful of circumstance; that many arguments between people have started with good intentions was not lost on me. Because I knew Nia cared for us as much as she did, I wanted to make sure she stayed grounded. Before Nia could respond, the coaching whistle cut sharply through the din of the gym, stopping our conversation in its tracks. The team all dropped what they were doing and met with their coach — a quixotic older man named Ryan — huddling together and presumably discussing how everything had gone. Soon after, they all broke off in different directions; some veering off to the locker rooms while others sat to take a breather. From the fragments of the group, one duo headed towards us. The far taller one gingerly waved her hand as they approached, a gesture we returned in kind. Her quiet voice barely carried across the space between us as she spoke. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: Hi you two, it’s been a while. Clara was one of the team’s most senior members, as well as a good acquaintance of ours. Like us, she was also a fourth year here, and had been on the team since she was a freshman. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey Clara, it really has been. Good to see you again! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: How have you been? (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: Oh, you know, start of the year is always a little scary for me, but I’m doing okay. It’s mostly just practice and more practice. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I saw, you guys were doing well! Are you adjusting to Power Forward well enough? I know you preferred playing Center. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: Eheh, it’s going. It’s hard to replace Ellie, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. I’m grateful to everybody for being patient with me. Clara sat down beside us, before scooching further away as she got comfortable. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: Sorry, I probably…um, kinda…smell. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hah, girl please, like me and Em don’t play sports too. You smell fine, so don’t worry about it. That’s just how this ish is. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: I know, but…well, still… She toyed nervously with the hem of her shorts as she stuttered out her reply. Despite her prodigious height and relatively thick build, or perhaps because of them, Clara was a very reserved girl. She never raised her voice off the court, nor joined a conversation if she didn’t have anything to add; I don’t think I'd ever have seen her at a school function either if her friends didn’t drag her along. She, far more than myself, was the kind of person who lived in her own private world. I highly doubt we would’ve even spoken had we not been reading the same book for extracurriculars. Still, we got along nicely. Since we all enjoyed similar hobbies, we had plenty to talk about when she was willing to share her opinions. It’s not as though she was completely unsociable either, she had other people she was close with. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: Remember to relax your shoulders, Clara. We talked about this. Your muscles will strain if you always tense up after practice. And speaking of, the closest of Clara’s friends finally stepped in from behind her, having momentarily trailed back to discuss something with Ryan. Saanvi rubbed the taller girl’s neck in a firm, comforting manner as she spoke. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: Ah, that’s right, sorry. I’ll try to do that. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: No, I apologize for mothering you too much. I just want you to watch your health. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: N-no Vivi, I mean, I asked you to bug me about it. I should be one apologizing, I’m relying on you for stuff I can do myself! (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: Nonsense, you know I…we can discuss this another time Clara, we’re being rude to our guests. She turned towards us, a contrite, but businesslike smile spreading her lips. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: Emery. Nia. As always, a pleasure to see you both again. Sorry to ignore you, I am not at my best today. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No biggie, we know how that feels, hehe. Huh Em? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeup. Our whole last week was a blur, hahaha. I’m sure yours was too. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: It was indeed… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well then howsabout you take a load off for a sec? You guys were workin’ hard! Nia patted the floor in front of her, gesturing for Saanvi to join us on the floor. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: I will stand, if it is all the same to you. Not to spurn the invitation, but I try not to relax while I still have responsibilities. Saanvi squinted, pinching the bridge of her nose as she looked toward the ground. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: On that note, Emery, has Ryan invited you here under less than ideal circumstances again? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Thankfully no, haha! I’m here for personal reasons. If he’s fallen behind with the financial department //again// then I don’t think I can bail him out this time! She sighed heavily at my answer, hand held tightly over her heart. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: Oh, thank goodness…I cannot tell you how relieved I am to hear that. It would be just my luck for karma to catch up with him in my final season. I felt for Saanvi’s predicament. Apart from being Clara’s childhood friend and a longtime member of the team, she also was their captain; a role that came with some very unreasonable demands. Between their lack of an official coach’s aid and Ryan’s flights of fancy, it was down to her to keep things grounded properly. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw Saanvi, don’t get too down. Sure Ryan is a pain sometimes, but you’re awesome! If anyone here can pull the team together, it’s you. A less put-on smile shined through Saanvi’s crafted visage with the help of Nia’s praise. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: Thank you, Nia. I very much appreciate that. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Enough to finally let me call you “Vivi” too? (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: No. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Booo. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: You know how she is about that kinda stuff hun, it’s nothing personal. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I know I know, it's like a little joke between us. I try to get her to let me call her “Vivi”, she says no; it’s a whole thing. She's cool with it. Or, well, it was cool last time it came up. Izzat still the case, Saanvi? I don’t want to actually piss you off by prodding or nothing. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: I do not mind your asking, but I will refuse every time as usual. It does not “piss me off”, it’s just how I am. I prefer to keep pet names to a minimum. Indulging Clara is something I do mostly out of nostalgia. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I swear you smiled last time I did it! You were //totally// warming up to it before break! (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: That was merely your imagination. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nu-uh bro, you can’t pull the wool over on me! I laughed internally at their lighthearted quibbling. Saanvi really was a rather straightlaced, conservative person; the type who presented herself as dry, responsible, and serious in most circumstances. That didn’t necessarily mean she was opposed to fun or being more affectionate, as the interaction before me illustrated so plainly, she simply reserved that side of herself for rare occasions. I’d glimpsed it firsthand, her passion flaring the brightest during their highlight matches. She might have been stiff — or had "a stick up her ass", as Nia sometimes put it — but when all was said and done, Saanvi really cared. Out of everyone on the team, she always laughed and cried the hardest at their end-of-season get-togethers. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: Getting back on track…if you two aren’t here to clean u-...to help coach Ryan, then why did you join us today? I assume it was not to watch us work up a sweat. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: I was curious about that too. It’s been a while since we’ve seen you Em, and even longer for you, Nia. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: We had a bit of a decompression summer. Just chilled since Junior year was so damn crazy and all, hehe. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, more or less what she said. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: I see. And you said your visit here was personal, correct? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, or //interpersonal//, so to speak. We were checking to see if you knew how Rina is doing. We haven’t heard much from her in a few days and figured you guys might know what’s up. The two had a less than ideal response to my question. Saanvi’s smile hollowed at the mention of Rina, falling back into the paper thin facsimile it had been before. Clara, meanwhile, blanched, and looked up at Saanvi in a way that screamed unease. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: …A reasonable assumption, in theory…//unfortunately//, I know very little. She texted coach Ryan on Monday saying she fell ill, and has not //deigned// to speak with us since. Sorry to disappoint, but that is the breadth of my understanding at this time. Nia and I looked at each other, confused by the change in the air. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No need to be sorry, dude. S’just, well, you know how she is when she gets sick. We were worried about her being less responsive than usual, you feel me? (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: Yes, I suppose she was like that. She left it there, causing the conversation’s mood to dip even further. Ice filled my stomach at Saanvi’s one-eighty, at her sheer dismissiveness. She always had a degree of removal in her conversations, no doubt, but something was wrong here. She and Rina had been on the same team for the last three years. Sure their personalities clashed, but they were friends at the end of the day. They cared for each other. Why was Saanvi treating Rina like an inconvenience now — like someone she didn’t want to think about if she didn’t have to? (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: Um…! I-I’m sure she’s fine. She just moved out of the dorm, so life’s probably hectic… If you want to check on her, we…um, we’d really appreciate it. I don’t know her new address, b-but I’m sure Ryan does. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Nah, it’s all good. We know where she lives, so we’ll get out of your hair. Saanvi’s eyes zeroed in on Nia, narrowing with terrible intrigue as she spoke. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: //Really?// Now that’s interesting. She hasn’t told //any// of //us// her new location, //in spite of our asking//. It sounds like //you’re// the ones in the know here. How comedic you bothered coming to us for help. Nia froze at the venom lacing Saanvi’s tone, lost on how to de-escalate this uncharacteristic outburst of hostility. I stepped between them, hoping to aim whatever was happening at me rather than her. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Rina and I share a class this year, so naturally the move came up. More importantly, Saanvi, why are you acting like this? Did something happen between you two? Her fake smile shattered, unable to withstand the force of her scowl any longer. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: “Did something happen?” //As if// you don't know about Mich! I thought you better than this, Emery. Why are you kicking me when I’m down!? Clara’s hand laid against Saanvi’s forearm, causing her to flinch defensively. She peered down at her friend, eyes wide and lips still curled in anger. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: Saanvi…we talked about this… Saanvi stared at Clara before slowly looking our way, visibly deflating as she did so. The three of us could only watch as she then abruptly turned to walk away. As quickly as she’d taken her second step, however, Saanvi stopped in place. She stayed that way for a moment; her fists remained clenched, but she was otherwise completely still. After several more very, very awkward seconds of unbroken silence, she turned back around. Saanvi’s stoic composure had not returned, but neither had her rage. In their place was the face of someone barely holding herself together — shaken in that embarrassing, human way that came only when you lost control of yourself. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: I…that…that was…incredibly…inexcusably rude of me. I cannot apologize enough for how I behaved just now… I promise that will ''never'' happen again. Her body shook, but she did her best to power through it. (text-colour:#e67519)[Saanvi]: It makes me…happy…to know Rina is still getting well with you two. Please keep an eye on her…and let us know how she is, alright? She… She trailed off, leaving her sentence unfinished before once more turning and marching off. Saanvi did not stop this time, each step coming faster until she was swallowed by the locker room entryway. Nobody said anything for a moment, until Clara unexpectedly broke the silence. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: …Um, I-I’m sorry she acted like that, her and Rina still haven’t…never mind. If you guys really don’t know what’s going on, then I’m not the one to hear it from. Please don’t be too mad at Vivi, she isn’t back to her old self yet. She started jogging off, only turning back to briefly finish her thought. (text-colour:#a1a1f2)[Clara]: I’m gonna, uh, go see if she’s okay, you should…go do the same for Rina, I think. A-and don’t tell her this happened, okay? Please? Just tell her we miss her, and we hope she gets better soon. Then, with no further room for discussion granted, Clara was gone. Nia and I stood in the empty gym, bewildered by how things had soured so quickly. [[House call]]

Nia’s plan had, in a horrible cosmic irony, provided the exact opposite effect from what we’d hoped. Not only did we end up leaving the rec center with far more questions than answers, but our sense of security was shattered. We weren’t sure what to expect anymore, and, much like the setting sun, any levity we’d once felt toward Rina’s absence was being inexorably consumed by dread. Another series of knocks rang out as Nia’s knuckles met the door. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Rina? You home? We waited, praying our insistence would yield any result. Sadly — predictably — we found no purchase. Nia placed her hands on her abdomen and folded over, an uneasy groan emanating from her as she did. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Auughhh, shit…this is giving me a nasty stomach ache, man. Can you check your phone again? Maybe you missed her? I pulled up the messenger app for what felt like the hundredth time this last hour, but still nothing had changed. Nia’s expression fell as I shook my head glumly. Frustrated, she knocked once more, the action turning feverish as she rapped at the metal for far longer than necessary. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Rina? Hellloo? …Fuuuck…c’mon girl, please answer… Nia pressed her back against the door and slid down, clutching her knees to her chest once she met with the ground. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …What do we do, Em? I’m getting really, really bad vibes. It hurt my heart to see my love so hopeless, so paralyzed. I wanted to comfort Nia, to hold her and tell her everything was going to be alright, but I didn’t want to be disingenuous. Empty platitudes like those could hurt the worst if not utilized carefully. I settled on holding hands, our sweaty palms pressed together as we tried to take everything in. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …I’m not sure yet, love… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: We gotta do //something//, don’t we? I’m worried! (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We will, I promise we will. We’re not going to leave until we reach //some// form of resolution. What that entails…I don’t know yet. Just let me think for a second. I wracked my brain, trying to come up with whatever reason I could for what’s happening. Maybe she turned off her phone? That didn’t seem likely, but maybe if she and the basketball team are on bad terms? Although if that were the case, she wouldn’t have responded to us at all, right? …Her phone could have died, but Rina was always pretty anal about having her devices charged. … (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Do you think she turned off read receipts? A slightly puzzled look meshed into her otherwise anxious expression. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You can do that? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: …You know, hun, I really need to sit down and show you how your phone works at some point. Nia rolled her eyes, a transient smile blooming on her lips. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Whatever you say, dude. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …But do you really think she would do that? Like, there’s no way, right? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Well…no, you’re right. I’m almost positive she isn’t the type, I’m just reaching at this point. … (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Okay, here…um, I know it’s probably useless, but try calling her. If it goes straight to voicemail just leave a message, but if it rings then call her a few more times. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ugh Em, shouldn’t we do something less, like…I dunno, less pussyfoot-y? We’ve already tried this kinda thing, hun. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I know, I know, I just want to reach out //one more time// before we take drastic measures. If this doesn’t get us anywhere, then we’ll go down and talk to the staff in the front office. We can ask them if they’ve seen her lately, use them to gauge if she’s okay or not. We'll explain the situation and hopefully they can help us. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: But don’t a lot of these fancy apartments have, like, uber strict privacy policies? What if they tell us to fuck off? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: We’ve come in with Rina twice, so even if they think we’re acting suspicious they wouldn’t //immediately// throw us out…probably. If that does happen though, and we don’t hear from her in the next…let’s say two hours, we can call the police and ask for a wellness check. Maybe that’s an overreaction, maybe we really piss her off and ruin our relationship, but I’d rather apologize a million times than…I don’t know, I’d prefer to not dwell on any of the alternatives. On that grim note, I got up to stretch while Nia dialed Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: It’s ringing, so her phone’s not off. I’ll leave her a voicemail, tell her I’m gonna call her a few more times. I’ll stop after, I dunno, maybe five tries? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sounds good. It wasn’t perfect, but at least we had a game plan now. Concrete goals could make even the worst of situations weatherable. I took calming deep breaths and let my mind wander, becoming immersed in the surroundings as Nia left her message. The sun was getting lower…not too surprising, it was already seven o’clock… Though perhaps a small consolation, at least today was nice. The way the building's loggia funneled this late summer’s breeze was calming, allowing it to gently embrace us. In the distance I could hear the leaves rustle en masse, simulating powerful waves that I could practically feel crash over me. The sky blazed a soft red, and the smells of seasonal cookouts wafted in the wind; even the dregs of afternoon traffic peppering the city streets sparkled in their own way. It was a peaceful, almost idyllic scene, brought down by our own personal turmoil. I took it all in jealously: a family getting in their car…a dog tied by its leash to a tree…Nia’s emotive voice in the background…Rina hobbling through the stairwell door… (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ughhh! Hoooly shit…augh… …? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: God…whoof, why…haah…am I so fffucking dumb… My head whipped around, locking onto Rina as she braced herself against the walkway’s stucco siding. She wore a baggy tracksuit and had a mass of bags strapped to her body; one mesh bag full of gym supplies, one cutesy purple backpack shaped like a cat, and a multitude of grocery bags overflowing with food, toiletries, and other necessities. I stared at her, a powerful mix of emotions flowing through me: Curiosity, amusement, anger, and more, all spun wildly beneath my surface. But, more than anything else, what I felt most was relief. She might have been panting and haggard, I might have been mad at her, but she was okay. Nia turned, presumably to inform me she had finished her voicemail, but fell still as soon as she saw what I saw. The two of us waited until Rina caught her breath enough to turn around, whereupon she immediately froze in place. Her mouth hung agape, before quickly settling on that awkward smile we’d become so familiar with lately. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Uhhh, hey guys…wh-what’s up? [[Harsh words]]

The next twenty minutes were surreal. Like a dissociative dream, we robotically exchanged niceties, followed Rina inside, and settled in; all of us acted out of habit, as if the last couple days had not happened at all. I felt like a stranger in my own body, mindlessly performing in ways that did not align with my thoughts or feelings. It was only now, in this stillness where Rina and I sat alone on her large couch, that I felt the strange auto-pilot begin to fade. We sat on opposite ends of the familiar furnishing, waiting quietly for Nia to finish in the bathroom. Despite having ample opportunity to indulge in our usual banter and catch up, the room was sober. There was a wordless tension beneath the surface, an air that said far more than we could ourselves. …It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk with her. On the contrary, I had spent a not insignificant amount of time considering variations of that over the week. Now that I was facing the reality of the situation, however, I simply couldn’t articulate as I desired. All my carefully calculated verbiage seemed to fall pitifully by the wayside. With that avenue lost, I focused instead on drinking the tea Rina had brewed for us; audibly nursing my cup every time the silence dragged on. Rina, by contrast, left her beverage untouched, preferring to idly braid her split ends. Thankfully, this could not last forever. Perhaps feeling this cold war had gone on too long, Rina opted to break bread via a cleared throat. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Hey, thanks again for helping me with the bags…//and// with putting away all the groceries, haha... Wasn’t trying to give ya chores as soon as you showed up or anything. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Not at all, Rina. We weren’t just going to watch from the sidelines while you hauled all that inside. Rina sputtered out another chuckle, brushing errant strands of hair from her face before continuing. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I mean…you //could’ve//, eheh. I wouldn't’ve held it against ya if you did. Hell, if I were in your shoes I’d have made fun of me for it. It was my //genius// idea to go to do a full shop right after work... (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hah, not a chance Rina. Maybe we’d act as your peanut gallery in another circumstance, but you walked like that all the way across town! What kind of friends would we be if we didn't help after all that? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well…I…eheh… Rina went quiet once more, her nervous smile progressively skewing the longer it lasted. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …All I’m sayin’ is I’d understand. If you want to grill me, then you’re not a bad friend…no worse than I am, at least, hahah… Realizing now what Rina had been getting at, I opened my mouth to contest her. Before I could properly retort, however, I was cut off by Nia rounding the corner of the hall. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hold up you two. I know it’s been a hot minute, but don’t start without me. Upon entering, Nia caressed my back with one hand and thumbed at herself with the other, signaling a desire to lead the conversation from here on. I examined her closely, making sure she was okay. Her face held a sheen and her hair was slicked back, rivulets of water still clinging to her bangs. She seemed controlled, like she'd been taking a moment to cool off and prepare for whatever came next. I nodded at her suggestion. She had been far more pursuant in engaging with Rina today, so it was only fair to give her the stage when asked. This was probably for the best even if she hadn’t been, given how much I’d been floundering when it was just Rina and I alone. The lion’s share of the burden now off my shoulders, I leaned against the comforter in an effort to relax. Nia joined me, grunting in pain as her butt practically slammed into its plush upholstery. She let her neck drape over the back of the couch, intentionally rolling it around as she made herself comfortable. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Oof, man…phew, okay. Sorry to keep you guys waiting, my stomach was killing me. She put on a smile, albeit a fairly forced one, and patted the remaining gulf between her and Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Dude, why’re ya sitting all the way over there? Don’t be a stranger. Rina sized us up warily, before eventually deciding to acquiesce and scooch closer. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Eheh, sorry, I wasn’t…um…anyway, you were in there a while. You doing alright? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Nah, not really. I was, like, literally shitting myself out of stress, hahaha, then I needed to wash my face cause I thought I was gonna cry. But hey, on the bright side, you seem like you’re feeling a lot better today! Rina crumpled at Nia’s emotionally sundering words, her scrunched gaze shooting towards the floor in tangible shame. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Nia… (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Ahhh, hehe, my bad Rina. I was tryna be casual, but that mighta made it come out a little nastier than I wanted. Rina did not respond. She remained still and hidden, walled off by the thick brown locks that were now practically interwoven with her fingers. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey, c’mon, I was exaggerating a bit. It was probably the leftover Thai food you warned me about, eh? … (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Please look at me, Rina. I’m sorry if that was too much outta the gate, I’ve been in a mood today. Again, she received no response. Nia’s jaw locked, trying to endure her frustrations toward the situation. I rubbed her back as she breathed deeply. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Rina…''//please//''? This shit isn’t easy for //either// of us, but we can’t do this when we //literally// just started. We //can’t// be that fuckin’ lame, right? Nia’s voice was soft and pleading, yet incredibly firm; it was a genuine, but strained tenderness that barely concealed the edge underneath. Beyond the jokes, she really needed Rina to work with her here, to work with us, if this was going to go anywhere positive. After a brief pause, Rina timidly raised her head to meet Nia. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Taiwanese. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmmm? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You got it all mixed up, dumbass. You said it was “Thai” food…it was Chinese. The family’s the ones who are Taiwanese, and that means they’re from Taiwan, not Thailand…hahah (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Pffft, hahaha! //Thank you, smart ass.// Bad enough Em’s always correcting me on shit without you jumping on me too! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Maybe don’t stick so much to your French, Italian, and whatever else it was then, heheh. Being a little more worldly doesn’t hurt, American girl. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I thought it was “I take the east and you take the west”. Which is it, jerkass? The two of them giggled in unison, their childish banter working to dismantle the tension. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, see? It’s not so bad. Clamming up hurts way more than talkin’ in my opinion, even if it’s easier short term. And besides, you shouldn’t just ignore me like that, y’know? We agreed I’m the center of attention here, after all! Rina laughed along with Nia’s jokes, but as she did her chuckles slowly changed; morphing into a series of semi-suppressed hics. Her eyes welled up, and her voice wavered as she struggled to reply. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hah… Y-You’re righ-h… Fuck, sorry…I, ugghh… Nia put a hand on Rina’s thigh as she took a moment to collect herself, giving it a reassuring squeeze while we waited. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Nia…Em…I-I’m so…so, so sorry. I didn’t… I don’t know how… I don’t know if you even want me to try to make it up to you, but I…I… I’m sorry…even if you don’t forgive me… I’m sorry, I’m so stupid…I don’t know why I… She stopped again, trying and failing to keep composure. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw, Rina… Nia wiped a sleeve against her face, fighting off the reinvigorated tears she’d worked to wash away earlier. She pulled Rina into a side hug, then craned her neck and nudged for me to join in; an action I gladly took after I was done clearing up my own misty demeanor. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: If you’re having trouble with what you wanna say, then let’s work on it together. We’re a team. If you get lost in the sauce it’s not gonna help anybody. Sound good? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …R-really? Still? But…but I thought you guys were here to…I don’t… A barely constrained sob wracked her body. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Why are you wasting your time with me like this? It’s only been two weeks…we didn’t even talk over the summer… Why didn’t you just cut me off? Why are you forcing yourself to…joke around…why’re you smiling? Rina’s breath picked up, the ragged huffing only slightly muffled by Nia’s chest. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …You should be mad at me! ''Screaming'', telling me I crossed the line for real… I //betrayed// you… I…I did something like that without asking or talking to anybody… I’m a creep, a terrible friend… I don’t deserve…this. She waved a hand in the air, gesturing vaguely at our intimate situation. It was Nia’s turn to stay quiet for a moment, before weakly laughing through her tears. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Rina, hahah…wow, you really just ran away with this whole thing, huh? A shudder ran through Nia’s body as she let out a long held sigh of exasperation. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: God dammit, Rina…//of course// I’m mad at you dude! I’m super frickin’ peeved, ya dingus! But so what? Does me being pissed mean we can’t talk? Did you think you had to avoid us from now on? Is that how you apologize!? Nia’s emotions flared as she spoke, her strained humor and exhaustion quickly melding with anger. She adjusted our group hug, moving Rina so they were looking at each other face to face. Their wide eyes met, Rina’s striking blue eyes locked with Nia’s own shimmering emerald. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Listen you goofy bitch, cause I’m only gonna say this once: I’m not ////happy//// with how the phone shit went down, but I’m not livid or anything either. It didn’t really bother Em, which is a big part of that. Rubbing her temples, Nia continued as she began to ramble. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, sure, on my end I woulda liked it if you’d talked with me — made a plan so we could zhuzh it up ‘n stuff, make it more on theme — but you making a mistake and overstepping is //not// my biggest issue Rina. Em and I have been talkin’ about this stuff for almost a year, do you really think this never came up? Do you ''really'' think we never once considered our partner might not be perfect? Do you think we’re //stupid//? Rina shook her head meekly at Nia’s question, listening intently even through the progressing tirade. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Good! So please, Rina…please understand, my main //fucking// problem is we’ve been friends for three fucking years and you didn’t even try to hash it out with us! You said “Fuck it, I screwed up” and ran away! …Why would you do that? You know this is super important to me and Em! You didn’t know how we felt about it…hell, you didn’t even ask! This is supposed to be a team effort! This whole mess going on right now is //exactly// why we said we need to share things! Isn’t that what we both agreed to, even though it’s hard? Or were you just lying to us? Rina shook again to confirm she wasn’t, a new wave of tears streaming down her face as Nia thoroughly chastised her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well it’s hard to believe that when you ghost us for days and don’t say why! No, not even, you actively //avoided// us and lied about it! Nia’s voice broke near the end, the hurt audible in her tone. She sniffed, rubbing her eyes and nose again before finalizing her thoughts. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: …Don’t you get it, idiot? //We were fucking worried about you!// We knew you wouldn’t act like this for no reason, but we didn’t know what was up and that made it really scary! And now you’re jumping to all these crazy conclusions; saying horrible shit about yourself, telling us how to feel, even acting like we’re morons for caring in the first place! It was “only two weeks”? “We didn’t even talk over break”? Like, fuck off dude! Don’t try to cheapen our friendship like that cause you feel bad! That’s such bullshit! It’s bullshit and ''that’s'' why I’m mad! Not //just// some stupid fucking phone call! In a flash, Nia pulled Rina back into the group hug, bawling as she held both of us as tightly as she possibly could. My mind raced. I wanted to chime in somehow, to validate this rare, powerful moment where Nia expressed herself //so// directly — so very incisively. Her feelings on this situation, on the depth of her camaraderie with Rina, and her underlying fear, none of which I think I’d //truly// grasped. I was frustrated, both with my ignorance and lack of meaningful input. I wanted to contribute some means of resolution for her, to do something to help this situation as a whole…but, for once in my life, no words came to me. My voice was nowhere to be found. With no recourse, and emotions running high, I chose to simply meet Nia’s force head-on; embracing her and Rina vigorously as the three of us wept together. [[Cooling off]]

We didn’t say much after Nia’s impassioned lecture. We didn’t really need to, to be fair; her wrecking ball-esque approach had been undeniably effective in its goal. Even if it was a little inelegant — harsh, even — the patent earnesty in her words left very little emotional ambiguity between us. The only downside was how heavy the exchange had been, leaving everybody with much to digest afterward. Still, digest we did. An unknown amount of time passed as we sat there, the three of us marinating in the ambient warmth of our pseudo cuddling session. It may be more accurate to say we were daisy chained, actually; with me cradling Nia’s upper body while she held Rina’s head in her lap. It was comfortable, doubly so after today’s arduousness…though, if I was being honest with myself, the positioning did remind me a lot of last weekend… The sun sank beyond the horizon, suffusing the living room in a muted blue glow. I admired the fading twilight, hoping it would pull double duty and dispel the errant horny thoughts leaking in as I watched them lay together. It wasn’t the appropriate time for that kind of thinking, even if today was technically the date we’d set for our planning session. I stretched loudly, moving to speak and more thoroughly eviscerate the lurid thoughts that plagued me. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I hate to backtrack after settling down, but are we feeling any better now that we’ve aired some of our grievances? Nia mulled on that, rolling the thought around in her head before waving her hand in a “so-so” motion. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: There’s more we need to talk about, but I fuckin’, like, highkey need a break from that ish. I haven’t worked my social brain that hard, or cried so much, since my O-Chem final… So, yeah…I’m pretty goddamn fried. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I completely understand, hun. Honestly, it was a very impressive showing. Your oratory skills made me jealous. She tipped her hand in a playfully theatric gesture. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Thank you, sir. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Rina? How about you? Are you feeling alright? I feel like we haven’t heard much from you yet, and it wouldn’t be fair of us if we didn’t give you space to respond after everything we unloaded onto you. Rina adjusted herself, staring up at us from Nia’s thigh pillow. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I’m with Nia. I know I owe you guys a better explanation for my behavior, and I will give it to you, but… Well, between this and work today, I’m burnt as fuck. Since Nia’s cool with it, I don’t wanna do anything but vibe for a bit…if that’s okay with you too. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, take your time. Sometimes it’s better to wait until you’re in a better headspace to tackle difficult topics. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Great, glad we’re all on the same page. We returned to our relative quiet before Nia suddenly raised a finger to the sky. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Actually, one more thing. What’s with the “we” crap, Em? I was kinda just venting at the end there, you don’t need to own anything I said to Rina in the heat of the moment. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No, I don’t think that would be fair. I more or less deferred all the hard work to you. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: I’m the one who wanted to though. I had shit I needed to say and I wanted to help you out. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: All the more reason. I really appreciate you stepping in when I struggled to convey myself. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hmmm…we~ll okay, we’ll leave it there for now, hehe. Just don’t hesitate if you feel like you have somethin’ to say later. Sure we didn’t hear much from Rina, but you didn’t say much either, and, as a wise man once said, it’s important to use your own words when you can. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: “A wise man”, huh? I felt the heat rise to my face, flattered by her indirect compliment. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, don’t get too full of yourself mister. If you don’t practice what you preach then I’ll think you fell off. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: I’ll make sure to be careful. We shared a small chuckle, rose-tinted memories fueling our banter. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Being serious though, I //am// sorry I went a lil crazy on ya Rina. I sorta just started talking and couldn’t stop; wasn’t expecting it all to come out like that. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nah it’s good. Real talk, I’m glad you did…I think I needed to hear it. I’ve been super selfish, and if you’d kept forcing yourself to be so nice then I’m not sure I woulda believed anything you were saying. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: That’s fair, I could certainly see it coming across as dubious if you’re already feeling insecure. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Something like that, yeh. Still though, I shouldn’t have forced it to this point. I’m really embarrassed I fell apart so hard these last few days. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: No point dwelling girl, you’ll just end up beating yourself up. You know how we feel about too many apologies anyway, so if you really wanna make it up to us then try to do better in the future. As long as you don’t pull that distancing crap again and we can always-… Nia trailed off, pursing her lips in slight annoyance. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hey hey hey, hold up. Stop. Why are we having the damn talk? We //just// said we were gonna wait, hehe. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hahaha, I suppose that's force of habit at work. I didn’t even realize we’d gotten so into it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Guess it was on all our minds, heheh. Did you, um…did you wanna finish your thought though, Nia? I know we said we’d rather wait, but if you do actually wanna talk about it then it’s fine. Nia shook her head, flapping her hand back and forth as if she were physically waving away the proposition. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Nah. Maybe we should, if it’s that in my brain, but I //really// don’t wanna. I just know it’s gonna go on for a while, and, like…bleh… I said I needed a break and I meant it. I just couldn’t help trying to get the last word in, so my dumb ass ended up dragging this on. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hehehe, not too different from me when you and Lucy get into your debates, huh? She shot me a petulant look, flipping me the bird before moving on as if she hadn’t heard me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: //Aaannywaays//… We’ll talk about all that crap later, let's just make up for lost time and hang for now. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Sounds good love. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Thirded. Rina rolled over, facing towards the back of the couch and into Nia’s lower belly. A strange look crossed her face before continuing. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I guess, um, on that note, it's getting kinda late. Were you guys thinking of staying for a while? (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, but if you need us to get going then that’s not an issue. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Nonono…I mean, you’re more than welcome to stay as long as you wanna. That’s what I was saying. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Haha, well that //was// what we all planned for today, sooo, yah know… Nia shrugged lightheartedly, implying the rest of her statement. Rina stared blankly for a moment, cogs almost audibly turning, before lighting up in a display of horror and embarrassment. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Oh my god…I forgot today was supposed to be our big outline sesh! Ahhh! Rina buried her face in the crevice of Nia’s thighs, groaning with an angst that would match even the moodiest teenager. Nia and I couldn’t help but laugh at her over-the-top reaction. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Don’t sweat it, Rina. We’re doing this for fun, right? No sense stressing so hard. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Yeah, no worries, we’ll get to it when we get to it. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Yeah, but like…I suck so bad this week! Ugh! (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Aw, Rina, hehe… Hey, y’know, maybe you’re not batting a thousand, but that ain’t the end of the world. Nia took Rina’s head in her hands as she spoke, brushing the forlorn girl's hair behind her ear. She ran a finger along Rina’s temple, tracing down to the mouth and following the jawline. It settled on Rina’s chin, flirtatiously guiding her up to meet Nia’s vision. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Sometimes all we need after a bad day is a little…pick-me-up~. “A pick-me-up”, she says. I had a feeling I knew where this was going. And so did Rina, if her wide-eyed surprise was anything to go by. [[Pushing buttons]]

Once again, the three of us found ourselves back in Rina’s bedroom. I leaned against the headboard, sitting naked as I watched Rina and Nia strip one another. Nia had proposed this for our opener — “a nice way to break the ice”, as she’d put it. It was a methodology I could not deny, given the way they embraced…or the fact that I was already jerking off. Rina stood behind Nia, her hands playfully exploring beneath the cups of my love’s bra rather than dutifully unclasping it. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Ahh, eeaasy girl~. I know you’re excited, but I haven’t gotten a turn yet~. You gotta slow down a bit…s~ayy~vor the build-up, ya know~? Contrary to her protests, Nia certainly didn't seem to mind the state of semi-undress she’d reached so quickly. She pushed her ass against Rina, grinding appreciatively into our partner with every grope. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Ho~oof…h-how in the hell am I supposed to resist when you’re acting like this? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehehe, cause you //know// what’s coming next’ll be even better~. Rina bit her lip, clearly frustrated, before ultimately relenting; slowing as commanded and making sure to “savor” the skin contact. Nia smiled in satisfaction, her grin only growing as Rina’s hands unmistakably yeared for their prior pace. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Gooood girl, that’s more like it~. Now get off me real quick, and stick your arms up in the air while you’re at it. Nia flirtatiously bumped Rina away with her butt as they repositioned, stopping briefly to turn toward me and stick out her tongue. She gave it a playful bite and winked, her face painted with horny excitement. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You watch yourself too, mister. Enjoy the show, obvs, but try not to blow your load too quick, kay~? I fought my temptation to stroke faster as she teased me, reluctantly transitioning to a mild, more tenable pace. Pleased, she turned back to Rina and resumed her work. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Alrighty, let’s get you more comfortable~. A smirk donned Nia’s face, before, instead of doing as she’d implied, she silently slid a hand down the backside of Rina’s bottoms. The athlete let out a squeak of pleasure, looking down in surprise as her assailant did who knows what to her. The girl in question merely tittered at Rina’s inquisitive expression. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: A little payback for getting ahead of me~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: But I did what you s-ssss~ whoa…god~! Shivers ran up Rina’s body as Nia took revenge, her eyes starting to lose focus as she hunched over the shorter girl for balance. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: H-hey…ju~uhh~st to m-make sure, are you sure this is a g-uh…a good idea…? Nia stopped her assault for a moment, taking in Rina’s bliss with amusement. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Why? Getting cold feet? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: No, I…I’m starting to lose it, and I just…wanna make sure before I…do anything. Do you guys //really// still wanna fuck around after what happened? Nia’s humor seemed to grow, something I couldn’t blame her for despite Rina’s attempted earnestness. It was hard to take the girl too seriously when she couldn’t even manage to tear herself from Nia’s tits. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: “Lose it”~? Ohhh, you make it sound so scary~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Nia, I’m serious. I really don’t wanna make another mist- Nia pressed her lips against Rina’s, interrupting any coherence her thoughts might have had. They dug hungrily into each other for a moment, before Nia pulled away once more (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, you’re such a dingus. Don’t be scared, okay? It’s //because// of what happened that I want ta fuck. That’s why it’s a pick-me-up. Like furreal, you never have make-up sex before? Rina pouted at the taunting words, crossing her arms in a childish defense of her pride. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I…no, I haven’t. It just hasn’t com~mmmm~!? Nia’s hands began to busy themselves once again as Rina tried to deflect, utterly throwing her off-balance. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~That’s a surprise. I figured a //big, rough girl// like yourself woulda done it //at least// once~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: W…well I ha-ah~...I haven’t. So what? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: “So what?” Hehehe, “so” you’re in for a real treat~! You ever work out when you’re angry or pent up? With her brain already fried, Rina looked completely baffled by the question; not quite grasping the connection Nia alluded to. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Duh, all the time… Nia stopped teasing, pulling her hands from Rina before grabbing the hem of her sleeves. Without missing a beat, she quickly slipped both Rina’s jersey and undershirt from her body, leaving the frazzled girl’s top clad in only a purple sports bra. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Same basic shit. You’ll see, hehe, it can really getcha going! (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: M-more than I already am? I dunno if I can…handle that. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Heheh, don’t worry about it so much and just have fun. And keep your arms up, aight? My turn ain’t done yet since yours was so //generous//, and I don’t trust you to stay still if you’re not busy. Rina cringed, holding her head low as she groaned in sexual — and probably physical, given how long she’d been holding her arms in the air — anguish. Nia quashed that, however, putting a hand to her mouth as she shushed her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: C’mon big girl, won’t be too much longer. I know you can do it. Nia whipped back around to me while she held Rina’s face, wagging a finger at me. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: You too, cutie. Don’t think I didn’t notice you picking up the pace when you think I’m not looking~. You aren’t slick. If you cum before we fuck then you’re in //big trouble//, hehehe~. Taken back by how attentive she’d been, I slowed once more…yet some part of me wondered if I shouldn’t listen. It pointed out how her tone was challenging me, like she //wanted// me to cum before they had sex. I locked eyes with her, searching for the answer. Was that why she was riling Rina up so much? Was this all a big ploy to wrap us around her finger? If so, I wouldn’t hate to play along…to be bad. (text-colour:magenta)[//It could be fun to get punished~!//] (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Hey…Nia? Nia and I jerked, Rina’s words breaking the hold we had over one another. Mysteriously, she had a strong blush on her face, and she seemed to be feeling slightly uneasy. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Hehe, what’s up? Getting jealous? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: Well…n-no, I, um…is this the hand you had in my pants…? Nia looked at Rina, bemused and intrigued by the question. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Yeah, why? (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …Can I shower before we keep going? …If I smell like your hand, then…I’m kinda rancid right now, and I don’t wanna subject you guys to that… It took Nia a second to process what Rina was saying, before she burst out laughing. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Phew, sorry, I just didn’t take you for the type to get flustered by stuff like that. Swamp ass got ya feeling self-conscious? Rina’s blush grew stronger, eclipsing everything that had come before. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: I mean… Rather than entertain Rina’s embarrassment, Nia opted to take two of the hand’s fingers and shove them directly into her mouth. She rolled them around inside, lolling her tongue and flicking it between the digits as she dragged them in and out. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~I can do the real thing too, if ya want~. Closing her lips back around the tips, she sped up until she was practically fingering her face. Nia closed her eyes as she taunted Rina, emitting exaggerated moans as if she were in total ecstasy. I instinctively let go of my dick as I watched the scene unfold, my impish want to push Nia’s teasing further exceeded by the kneejerk desire to avoid cumming. I hadn’t intended to comply, to abandon the thought, but years of listening to Nia’s requests had ingrained things into my very reflexes…especially overstimulated as I was. My body felt like it was on fire. Rina didn’t appear to be faring much better than I either, gaping at the show Nia put on for us. Her horniness had returned with a vengeance, the entire right side of her precum soaked waistband straining against the defined outline of her cock. She covered her eyes, the sculpted musculature of her arm popping as she flexed. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: …~Ffffuck me dude… You…you’re gonna drive me nuts... Nia giggled as she stopped, kneeling downward as she dragged her tongue along Rina’s abs. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Whaaat~? You said you wanted to make it up to us, so you are. You’re gonna give me a //nice, looong apology all night…juuust// like this, hehehe~. (text-colour:purple)[Rina]: ~Nnnnhhh~! Niaaa~...pleeease~! I can’t! I’m dying here~! Nia’s foxy demeanor grew, feeding off Rina’s pleas for attention. I could only imagine how excited all this begging was getting her. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Oh my, what a //drama queen//, hehehe! I’m //just// teasin’~. You gotta know how to take it if you’re gonna dish it out, riiight? You needa practice~. Em likes it //waayyy// meaner, ya know~. The ball of compressed sexual anguish that was Rina craned toward me in shock, perhaps only now comprehending what exactly she’d signed up for. I shrugged shyly, confirming Nia’s statement with a lopsided grin. (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: It’s true, hehe, you should see some of the roleplays we’ve done. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Who knows, maybe she will~. A man could only dream… (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: Hopefully! You should cut her some slack for now though, love. She’s not used to this. My sadistic love rolled her eyes, her good mood unaffected despite my ask. But of course it wouldn’t be; knowing Nia, she was content to revel in the sensual whirlwind she had centered around herself. She really had been acting more indulgent since our discussion on Sunday…not that I was complaining. Nia was at her most beautiful when feeling decadent. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Fiiine, fine~. I //guess// she can have some sugar while I’m at it, hehe~. Without further ceremony, Nia tore down all of Rina’s bottoms — both her sporty, ruffled skorts and the pair of purple compression shorts she was using for underwear — in one fell swoop. The sharp jerk of the motion caused the desperate girl’s cock to spring sideways, loudly slapping the side of Nia’s head. Impressively, Nia somehow ignored the titan member’s lovetap, her focus solely on peppering Rina’s pelvis and thighs with affectionate pecks. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Since you…two……asked so…~mmm~…nicely, we’ll………speed…~haah, fuck~…speed things up……………a lil……~mmmph~……! She spoke between kisses, each one growing longer and breathier until she’d practically buried herself in the trimmed hair between Rina’s legs. My chest tightened as I resumed jerking off, too horny from the view to resist any further. Nia brushing against the limits of her willpower like this had, ironically, caused my own to crack instead. Nia pulled away, puffing heavily as her fluttering gaze drifted to Rina’s. Without breaking eye contact, she grabbed onto the twitching shaft to her side and gave it a wet, prolonged kiss, dragging her tongue up to the crown until she’d cleaned the gathering trail of slick. Content with her work, and perhaps attempting to retain control of the situation, she gave it one more playful lick before departing. Upright once more, Nia cradled Rina’s cheek in her palm and gave her a look of textbook condescension. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~There ya go, my poor, needy girl. Feeling a little better now that you got some sugar in your system~? Silently, Rina shook her head, the need to fuck so palpable that playing along seemed to entirely escape her grasp. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Aww, whaddya mean? But you just got so much lovin’! What went wrong? Feelin’ sorta //pent up// or something~? Rina nodded frantically, her body vibrating with anticipation — a feeling I couldn’t help but relate to. Nia’s balance of control and mad perversion paired impeccably with Rina’s inarticulate lust, driving me up the wall. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: How ‘bout you, cutie? You holding up oka-... She trained over me, her half-lidded eyes taking in my every detail as I gasped in pleasure. She smirked, one brow raised as she stopped at my dick. I followed her line of sight, finding that I had, to my surprise, cum at some point. I was lost for a moment, too confused to even be embarrassed by my premature climax… When did this happen? Did I give myself a ruined orgasm when I stopped? Was it when I restarted? I couldn’t say. The waves of pleasure had all blended together as I stroked, making it near impossible to determine. The streaks pooling between my legs though, the fluid frothing between my fingers; these things left no doubt it //had// occurred at some point earlier. Nia didn’t say anything, but she didn’t really //need// to either; the apparent delight in her eyes said more than enough already. I was getting that aforementioned punishment at some point, and it was gonna be a doozy. My love turned toward Rina, nudging her to look in my direction with a dark joy. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: Well that wasn’t very fair of Em, huh Rina? Blowing his load before we even made it outta the foreplay. He’s still going too…how greedy~. We’ve been so patient — //you’ve// been so patient, Rina — and yet here he is…having aaalll this fun without us~. Rina stared at me as I continued to masturbate, unblinking as her face went through a cascade of emotions. Envy, frustration, sexual thrill, and several others I couldn’t quite identify, all melding together into a complex cocktail of horniness. As I met Rina’s eyes, the tactics fueling Nia’s slow-build approach finally clicked for me. She hadn’t just been setting the mood to aid Rina in forgetting her reservations, nor had she merely been feeding her sadistic tendencies. No, she’d been pitting Rina and I against each other in a subliminal contest of sexual endurance. One that I had lost by her design…one that Rina would now reap the rewards of. My lord, what did I ever do to deserve a girlfriend as amazing as Nia? (text-colour:green)[Nia]: That’s preeeetty fucked up if ya ask me, hehehe. I mean, I’m not even totally naked yet! The stage now set as she’d wished, Nia leaned against the bed frame and slowly swayed her hips at Rina. (text-colour:green)[Nia]: ~Speaking of…it’s //your// turn again, Rina~♪. You gonna leave me hangin’ like this, or’re you gonna make your move, stud~? [[Off script improv (WIP)]]

(align:"<==>")+(box:"===XXXXX==")+(text-style:"bold","underline")[''WIP''] Now closer than ever, the three find themselves delving even deeper into their roleplay! Just how much of a sadist is Nia anyway? What punishment will Em receive for his disobedience? To what extremes will Rina and Nia go to satisfy Em's fetishes?

Can Em and Nia help Rina resolve whatever's going on here? All this and so much more, coming up next time on Between Us Three - Branch B! ————————————————————————————————————————————————— (text-colour:blue)[Emery]: No visuals to titillate this time?
