Arthur didn't dare look at anything other than the road. Mindy's offer to Rani to join them for sex hung in the air as silence filled the car. Arthur was driving the three of them back to campus, with Mindy in the passenger seat and Rani in the backseat. They'd just dropped her date, Sanjay, off at the house he rented with a bunch of guys from campus.
Arthur was a little nervous. Mindy made the invitation, but he didn't know Rani. The other women in his life were people he knew. Arthur knew Selene very well, and they were close friends before she asked to become his slave. He'd known Kelly for years and felt he knew her pretty well after that and their first two dates. He knew Kat less, but he'd still met her a few times. Mindy, he'd only known for five or six weeks, but they'd spent a few hours together every day, so it felt like he knew her better. Rani was someone he didn't remember at all from last year when she said they'd met. As far as he could tell, he'd just met her a few minutes ago.
Arthur wasn't even sure if he wanted her to say yes, especially when he didn't know how the others might feel about it. Kelly and Kat wouldn't care, and Selene would be thrilled. So maybe he did know how they would feel about it. Perhaps Arthur wasn't sure how he felt about it. He'd said yes because he didn't think she'd say yes, and because he didn't want to say no to Mindy. He wanted to make her fantasies come true.
Rani looked at Mindy for nearly a minute and then at Arthur. The moments she took looking at Arthur's reflection in the rearview mirror seemed the longest in Arthur's life. He'd more than half expected her to laugh herself silly at the suggestion and say no right away. That she seemed to be seriously weighing her options was almost disconcerting.
She was an attractive young woman, at least as far as he could tell. Her baggy shirt and jeans didn't give him a good idea of her body, but her face was pretty, with her dark Indian skin contrasted with the gold jewelry she wore.
Instead of the expected denial, she eventually shrugged. "Yeah, sure. Sounds fun."
Mindy giggled. "Told you." She patted Arthur's thigh.
"You two have a bet going or something?" Rani asked. She sounded more amused than upset.
"No." Mindy shook her head. "He just didn't think you'd say yes. I could tell by that worried look on his face."
Rani shrugged. "I could use some fun, and you've got some good press from people I know. You aren't going to try and steal my kidney or anything." Rani explained.
"High praise." Arthur scoffed.
Rani chuckled. "I need a decent fuck, you're pretty hot, and Mindy looks cute as hell." She sighed. "Sanjay wouldn't have even had to work that hard if he'd just been like... any good on a date?"
Mindy giggled.
"Sanjay's not a bad guy." Arthur said, trying to stick up a little for his friend. They weren't terribly close, but they knew each other enough to call each other friends. Sanjay was well-intentioned, after all. He was, however, sometimes a little clueless when it came to the people around him. "I think maybe he was just nervous."
Rani looked at Arthur for a moment and laughed. "Don't go all bro code on me, or I'll change my mind about this little threesome, and I know how much every guy ever has wanted two chicks at the same time."
Arthur kept his eyes on the road and decided not to mention the... two and a half(?) threesomes he'd had over the last few days with Kat and Selene.
"Are you into women too?" Mindy asked Rani.
Rani nodded. "Man, woman, other, makes no difference to me if they're good people."
"That's very progressive of you." Mindy nodded.
"What about you?" Rani asked. "I can tell you're into Arthur. Are you into me? Or is this more about playing to the male fantasy?"
"We've done his fantasy already." Mindy explained. "This one's all mine."
"So you're bi?" Rani asked.
"I'm..." Mindy hesitated. "Open." She said finally. "I've..." She seemed to have trouble saying it and looked at Arthur. He reached over, put his hand on her thigh, and gave her a reassuring squeeze. "I've wanted to try for a while. My parents are just... really traditional. They'd flip out if they ever found out about... any of this. They'd probably disown me for wearing this outfit."
Arthur glanced at the black thigh-high stockings and short black dress with a solid skirt but a fully mesh top currently covered by her red cropped sweater tied closed in the front with little bows. The white leather collar she had on her throat was studded with stainless steel, and a heart-shaped padlock hung from the D-ring on the front that occasionally caught the light of the passing streetlights. Combining her outfit with her pigtails, she had a babydoll goth look going right now that looked really sexy with her narrow waist and large chest.
Rani huffed. "Mine too. Don't worry. We'll keep your secret. Right, Arthur?"
"For as long as you want me to." Arthur assured Mindy. "But if you are bi - it's okay. You're still you. I know your parents are traditional, but they love you. I'm sure they'll-"
Mindy squeezed his thigh in return. "I appreciate your support, Boss." She said with a smile.
"Cute nickname." Rani smirked. "Is he actually your boss, though? You said you met at work...."
"No." Arthur assured her. "We're coworkers, but technically we're equal."
"Technically?" Rani asked.
"Arthur does all the work the boss is supposed to do, but without the title or the pay." Mindy explained.
"Which is fortunate because if I were out on a date with a direct subordinate, I'd probably get fired." Arthur explained.
"I like being your subordinate, though." Mindy said to Arthur, then turned to Rani. "So I call him Boss or Sir, depending."
"Kinky." Rani said, eyeing the padlock heart hanging from Mindy's collar. "But he's not actually your boss at work?"
"Not on paper." Arthur said defensively. "I..."
"Like I said, he does our boss' job without getting paid for it." Mindy said. "So most of us in the office are referring to him when we're talking about the boss."
Arthur looked at her sideways.
"In a good way!" Mindy said. "We all appreciate you."
Arthur chuckled and started to slow down as he approached the turn for his apartment complex. His stomach growled in anticipation. "Calm down buddy." He said to his stomach. "We'll get you some food soon."
"You really are hungry if you're willing to delay a threeway." Rani chuckled. "Most guys would have already cum just from thinking about Mindy and I making out."
Mindy giggled again. "He can handle himself pretty well, even against the two of us. Or so I hear."
"We could all use some food." Arthur assured her as he pulled into the apartment complex parking lot. His apartment was closer than the campus, so when Rani agreed to a threesome, he'd altered the course to come here instead of taking them back to campus and risking their roommates.
Arthur glanced up at his window before pulling into the parking lot. He half expected to see Selene looking down at him, but his apartment was dark. She was sleeping at her apartment tonight for the first time in a while.
"Anything I should know before we go up?" Rani asked. "Am I walking into some kind of fifty-shades bullshit?"
Mindy smirked as she looked over her shoulder and gave Rani a wink. "The safeword is Bratwurst."
Rani laughed. When Mindy didn't join in, Rani realized she wasn't joking and nodded. "Okay..." She nodded. "I'll keep an open mind."
Arthur parked and turned off the car. He hopped out and opened both Rani's and Mindy's passenger side doors. They smiled at him as they stepped out, and Mindy kissed his cheek. They closed the doors as he moved to the trunk and took up the bags.
"Get the door for me?" Arthur asked, looking at Mindy with his hands full.
"Yes, Sir." Mindy nodded and headed toward the building's front door. She held it open as he stepped through, followed by Rani. "It's the third floor, so the last landing, on the left." He said as he nodded toward the stairs.
"Well, you've got the key." Rani stated the obvious. "You should go first."
Arthur realized there was logic to that, but he was a little disappointed to not get the opportunity to look up Mindy's skirt as she walked ahead of him. Mindy seemed to realize this and skipped ahead, taking the stairs two at a time up to the first landing. Arthur followed, and Rani followed behind him until they came to his landing, where Mindy stood waiting for them.
"You were lying about the shorts." Rani said, almost impressed. "I should have guessed."
Mindy smiled and twisted back and forth in a happy swish. Her skirt bounced and swayed with the motion in a way that threatened them with delight. Arthur could almost laugh. The shy, somewhat flirty woman he knew had given way to an enthusiastic, adventurous one. She seemed happy, in her element, and excited to cross the threshold into Arthur's apartment by his invitation.
Arthur unlocked the door and stepped inside. He looked around for a moment after he flicked on the light, but the couch was empty. The apartment was empty beyond its typical furniture. It was clean and tidy, as he liked it.
The TV opposite the front door and the couch and coffee table to the left was turned off. Arthur moved to the left and past the carpet to the kitchen tile through the open wall to the left of the TV. He set the bags down on the kitchen table. The kitchen behind the TV wall was practically calling him.
"Nice place." Rani said, looking around. "It's a two-bedroom?" She asked, looking at the pair of doors on the wall to the right of the front door.
"Yeah." Arthur nodded.
"No roommates?" Rani asked curiously as she followed him into the kitchen.
"No." Arthur said as he washed his hands. "My ex-girlfriend, well, my girlfriend at the time, was supposed to be my roommate. We sprung for the two-bedroom 'cause we could afford it together, and we wanted the extra space as a library. She had a lot of books. So do I."
"Her loss, our gain!" Mindy called from the living room.
Rani sat at the kitchen table. "Shoes on or off?" She asked.
"Whatever you're most comfortable with. I'm not anal about the carpet or anything." Arthur shrugged.
"You keep a pretty tidy place for a bachelor." Rani commented. "It's cleaner than my dorm room, that's for sure."
He chuckled. "That's just personal preference. I like a tidy home. A place for everything, and everything in its place."
"So the collar hanging up by the front door... you got a dog?" Rani asked.
Mindy joined them, taking up the place in front of the stove. Rani stood by the table with her hands behind her on the chair. Arthur stood at the top of the kitchen.
"Nope." Arthur answered as he opened the fridge. "Can I interest you ladies in some leftover stir fry?"
"Sure." Rani and Mindy said at the same time.
"That's Kat's collar by the door, right?" Mindy asked.
"Yeah, that's Kat's." Arthur answered.
"So you have a cat?" Rani asked.
