*Mankind is poison because we compromise our souls for the companionship of others*
(Thanks to Frontma for clearing up my mistake that delayed this chapter from getting out sooner)
(Once more no real sex but there is a good deal of sexual tension.)
(Yes, this tale is supposed to be somewhat humorous and outrageous too. While not always comedic, I'd like to think it is mostly a good-natured romp.)

"Vivian, I'm going to take a shower," I whispered to Vivian. I was hovering over her from the back of the sofa-sleeper, asking permission to take my shower downstairs. She was laid out beneath me, her jersey bunched up around her breasts and her left thumb hooked into the band of her shorts and pushing them dangerously down.
"Mmmm," she sighed, a little smile tilting her lips.
"Honey, I need your permission to use the downstairs shower," I continued. I wisped across her lips with my own. Her smile blossomed into full-blown pleasure.
"Okay...I'm getting up, I'm getting up," she moaned.
Vivian slowly opened her eyes as she stretched and twisted her body to wakefulness.
"Good morning, Zane," she yawned with this adorable little grin on her face.
"You look beautiful," I complimented quietly.
"Mmmm...thank you," she purred. "You look...Zane! What are you doing?" she bolted upright, barely missing a head-on-head collision.
"I'm asking you permission to go down to the fifth floor and take a shower," I repeated.
"Why didn't you simply sneak past me?" she propped herself up on her elbows.
"I said I would wait on your decision, so I waited. Can I please, please do something," I pleaded, "before I go nuts?"
"Ummm, okay," Vivian said cautiously. I reached down to her midsection and she flinched so I held back. No word passed for several seconds so I resumed my journey to her pushed up sleeping jersey and slowly pulled it down until her stomach and crotch were covered.
"Zane," Vivian sighed, "could you control your hormones for thirty minutes...when you are awake?"
"I have to go now," I stood up, "because covering you up didn't make you any less attractive."
"Zane," Vivian came off the sofa and followed me, "you should attempt to look at a woman as a fellow follower of Christ and less in terms of beautiful and ugly and you might be happier. Go take a shower." She's telling me this with an earnest warm face and finely sculpted legs that disappear right below the crotch into that billowing Dallas Cowboys shirt.
"Go on and fuck the bitch," Rio growled as she traipsed by with Mercy's hand on her shoulder. Barbie Lynn came slowly limping behind. Barbie flashed me a grin and I raced to catch up. At the bottom of the stairs something occurred to me.
"Hon, where is your towel?" I asked Barbie Lynn. She shot me an apologetic smile.
I stepped behind Barbie Lynn, ran a hand along her hip to the curve of her stomach and kissed her on the neck.
"Take mine; I'll catch up," I chuckled. I draped my towel over her shoulder and bounded up the stairs.
At the top of the stairs I stumbled to a stop. Vivian had only then finished taking off her jersey and was holding it in her left hand. The bottom of the shirt scrapped the ground. Vivian looked at me, neither shocked, ashamed, nor outraged. Her breasts were freaking gorgeous, fully round, buoyant, and with a miniscule droop. Her pale blue panties left little to the imagination, her pussy lips clearly camel toed.
"I apologize," I quickly spun away and raced to my sleep area. I grabbed a towel and headed straight for the stairs.
"Zane, it is okay," Vivian called out. She'd covered her breasts and diaphragm with the jersey.
"Huh?"
"I don't mind; I know you didn't mean to see me so I'm not offended and I don't feel you went back on your word," she related with a sense of grace. I wasn't truly sure of what word I hadn't gone back on but she appeared happy.
"Does that mean you can flash me your ta-ta's guilt free?" I asked hopefully.
Vivian regarded me with amusement.
"Zane, constantly being distracted by unbridled sexuality will not leave you content," she lectured me patiently. We regarded each other for some time. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"If you are going to offer...could you come over here, turn around, bend over, grab your ankles and finally look past your thigh at me?" I cringed.
She shook her head, regarded me once, then rolled her eyes.
"I may not be able to save you but I'm not going to shove you down to damnation either," she stated firmly.
"Do it; I won't take advantage of you and I'll tell you a valuable secret," I offered.
Normally my chance of success with Vivian and that line was nil -- but the convergence of a Gabrielle's midnight visit and her desire to show me that trust and honesty could exist without a sexual context brought her to me. She slowly turned around and assumed my desired position. I rabidly wanted to step up to her, gently slip her panties aside and take her pussy with deep languid strokes.
"Please stand up," I groaned. Once she was up I leaned into her ear. "You are not a virgin," I whispered carefully. Vivian tensed slightly. "All it means to me is that you know what you are talking about when you mention sexuality and I have to treat you with more respect. I apologize for prying." She twisted to face me and was about to say something but I put a finger to her lips to silence her.
"People are listening," I cautioned her quietly.
"Thank you for that," Vivian whispered. "It was one time in high school and we had exchanged Promise Rings. It was a mistake we both regret."
"It's all cool," I grinned. "I kind of wish your first time had turned you into a wild sex monkey and you and your beau planned on having five hundred kids, but we're good."
"Zane," Vivian sounded exasperated, "I pity the woman you decide to marry."
"What?" I acted shocked, "I would never cheat on my wife."
"Oh, I believe you, but I fear the poor woman would die from exhaustion," she scolded me.
"She'd die happy?" I offered up as my only defense.
"Lord, give me strength," Vivian groaned. "Go take a shower."
"Gotchya, Boss," I beamed happily. I turned half way to the door, then gave a backward glance. "Vivian, if you ever need anything, just ask."
