We'd gone away for the holidays and were currently staying in a nice motel. At least, it would be a nice motel except for a few small details. Details like the storm that had settled over the city and was pouring rain down on us with no apparent intention of topping any time soon. Two days, now, of the skies pissing down and putting a real dampener on our holiday.
Another detail was the lightning strike that had taken out the big old tree in front of the motel, neatly dropping it across the power lines, rendering us completely powerless. Not being a large motel they had no emergency generator and would just wait until the power was restored.
No power meant no TV, no PC, and no phone as its battery was now flat. And no damn lights.
I got sick and tired of just moping around our rooms, bored out of my skull, and decided to check out the motel games room. Maybe there'd be someone there to talk to. Fortunately there was a covered walkway all the way along the front of the motel and as long as I stayed near the wall the rain wouldn't reach me.
I trotted into the games room and was relieved to find another couple of girls there, both about my age. There were also a couple of men there, but they were somewhat older than us so we ignored them, leaving them to their pool table, although how they could see the balls was a wonder.
We did the standard introductions, me Karen, you Jane. Janet and Viola, in fact, but you get the idea. That done we subtly cross-examined each other, determining that we were all the same age, eighteen, at the motel for the same reason, dragged there kicking and screaming by our parents, considered the weather the pits, and were all bored out of our tiny skulls.
We fossicked around in the cupboards and found some cards and decided to play poker, using draft pieces as chips. Then I spotted an Othello set and we added those to the chips. That gave us about thirty chips each to start with which is much more interesting that just eight apiece. You could lose all eight in one game.
We played for a reasonable interval but it became pretty obvious to me who was going to take all the chips. Viola was a killer at the game, seeming to know more about my hand than I did.
I was right and Viola just cleaned us up. We didn't feel like reallocating the chips and starting again so we just sat back in our chairs and looked mournfully at the weather.
"Fucking rain," grumbled Janet. "What did people do to amuse themselves before we had electricity?"
"Precisely what you just suggested," called one of the men at the pools table. He put his cue down and stretched before ambling over in our direction, his opponent with him.
Janet looked at him, confused. For that matter we all did. The two men smiled at us.
"What are you talking about?" demanded Janet.
"I'm Tim," the first man said. "The loser is Quentin. Not his fault. You take the name you're given. What people did to amuse themselves? Well, they don't call it fucking rain for no reason."
I was shocked to my socks. The others looked it, too. He surely couldn't be suggesting that we, ah, we - well, you know.
"If you mean what I think you mean," began Janet rather belligerently, but the man held up a hand in a be-at-peace sign.
"I wouldn't dream of suggesting such a thing. I mean, really, we've only just met. There's no way I'd expect you young ladies to do any such thing, even if you were of age."
"We're eighteen," snapped an indignant Viola, "but we're still not going to, ah. . ." She waved her hand about to indicate what we wouldn't be doing.
Tim just laughed.
"Contrary to popular belief I'm not an idiot. To expect something like that on the very first meeting would be insane. We don't even know your names."
He quirked his eyebrow when he said that last bit and Viola hastily gave out names.
"So what did you mean?" she asked.
"One can enjoy a friendly little bit of slap and tickle without going to extremes," Tim said. "A bit of petting can be quite interesting and you get to try some petting of your own and see our reactions. If you're worried that we might get carried away just remember that there's only two of us and three of you. Even if we wanted to jump you the third person could run for help."
"Tim," said Quentin with a sigh, "you have a lousy way of explaining things. I mean, look at them. They're lov-er-ley. Of course we want to jump them. What you mean to say is that despite their intoxicating appeal we will control our libidos and refrain from doing anything they would rather we didn't."
"No," said Tim, looking thoughtful. "I'm sure I'd never say anything like that. I'd just say we won't get carried away even if the three of them were dancing a naked can-can in front of us."
Janet was giggling and Viola looked as though she wanted to as well. I know I did, but I still felt they were suggesting something outrageous.
"So just what are you suggesting?" I asked.
"I'll show you," said Tim. "Can I have one volunteer? Why thank you Viola."
He sat down on one of the spare chairs, holding his hand out to Viola. She blushed and looked at me and Janet and then stood up and moved towards him. He reached for her and pulled her closer, sitting her on his knee.
I know I mentioned the rain but did I mention the heat? The rain was undoubtedly cleaning the air but it wasn't cooling it noticeably. The three of us were dressed for the holiday heat and that tended to be a mixture of t-shirts and shorts or skirts. Viola had a skirt which is probably one reason Tim chose her.
As soon as Viola was on his lap he'd pulled her top loose from her skirt and his hand slid up inside it, although on her back. The reason for that became clear very quickly. His hand darted up to her bra and unclipped it and then his hand was circling her and coming up under her bra to cover her breast.
The look on her face was indescribable as his hand rubbed her breasts, but a large part of it was disbelieving shock. Janet and I probably looked just as shocked, but I have to admit that was the point at which I felt the first lick of heat in my loins.
I heard Quentin give a discrete cough and I looked at him. He was watching me with a little smile on his face. The smile grew bigger as he saw me watching and he took a seat and patted his lap, not taking his eyes off me. My heart gave a sickening lurch and butterflies flocked to my stomach. He didn't really think I was going to sit on his lap and let him fondle my breasts, did he?
It would only be my breasts he'll be touching and I could always scream and push him away. Janet and Viola will be right here. Where was the harm? I was like a curious kitten as I edged my way over to him, ready to jump and run at the first wrong move. I eventually found myself sitting gingerly on his lap, his hand slipping up under my top. Maybe I should have worn it tucked in. It would have given me that extra chance to change my mind.
I felt the sudden relaxation of my bra and knew it was now undone. I flicked a nervous glance towards Viola and Janet to see if they were watching but they weren't. They were two busy watching each other as they were both sitting on Tim's knees, facing each other. I could tell that Janet's bra was already undone because I could see the movement under her top as Tim's hand made merry. Then I was giving a little gasp as Quentin pushed my bra up off my breasts and started stroking them.
