Recommend reading chapters 1-3, first.

I got home from college on a Friday. Now it was Sunday evening and I had been involved in three sex parties in 48 hours. Until this weekend, at age 20, I had been sexually active exactly four times. Now, I was practically a neighborhood porn star. It happened because I was with my childhood friends, all of whom I trusted and cared about. We also were all reasonably mature and had few hangups.
But, wow. Most people don't get this much kink in a lifetime, let alone in a weekend. I needed to slow it down and get back to some kind of normal.
So on Sunday morning, after the girls left my house, I went for a run, visited my grandmother -- where we made cookies -- and then I studied my Psych 321 book, which I had bought for the fall semester.
It was a great day and I now felt ready for a summer of work, family -- and friends.
As I closed my book, I heard Linus pull into the driveway. The car doors shut and I could hear Charlie, Linus and Schroeder talking about rock climbing.
I met them as they came in the kitchen and the three boys all warmly greeted me. They were all covered in red dirt from their climb.
"Hey Lucy," said Charlie, "How was your weekend?"
"It was great," I said cheerily. " I visited Gram and did a little studying."
"How is Gram?" said Linus. "Did you you tell her 'hi' for me?" he said with a smile.
"I did!"
I was so happy that all seemed back to normal, including Schroeder being kind of quiet and shy around me.
"Do you guys want some sandwiches," I said. "I made a bunch because I figured you'd be hungry."
"Fantastic!" said Linus. "Let's take them in the family room and we'll tell you about this killer outcropping we climbed today."
We sat around and the boys took turns explaining the technical aspects of their climb, which actually sounded a bit dangerous. But they were really excited, so I just listened and asked questions.
At one point, Charlie and Schroeder went back into the kitchen for more beers.
"Did you guys talk about what happened Friday? I asked.
"Never came up," Linus said. "I think you being my sister and all."
"Yeah...." I trailed off, a little embarrassed.
Charlie and Schroeder came back in and Charlie asked if we wanted to get high. Linus and I both said "sure."
Schroeder went to the piano and played some light trippy prog rock as we passed a joint around.
30 minutes later we were totally stoned.
"Woah," Charlie said as he looked around the room. "The scene of the crime, man."
"Yeah, things got pretty crazy," I said.
