"So, figured out what you're doing this fall?"
Izzy was out teaching the night Katie came back. Tired from travel, happy to be among friends, we caught up had a drink.
"I have an offer here, another down south. I love it here, but not sure I should stick with the same old same old. And with Izzy gone, it won't be the same."
"Sounds like you're leaning south."
"Maybe - but I worry about you."
"Me? Don't. I'll miss you guys, but you'll visit."
"I will - not so easy to get rid of." We talked, looked at phones, hung until Izzy returned. They caught up reunite, and since I was tired, I went to bed as they kept talking.
I didn't wake up alone - they crawled into bed, pushed me to one side, looking lovely in the warm morning light.
Coffee was brewed, muffins baked before they came to. Alex and Olivia came by later and the celebrations began, mostly consisting of the four of them talking, laughing, cocktails, dinner out. Saturday night meant the bar, me holding the table while they caught up with other folks, danced, carried on.
Katie came over "Lonely?"
"Not at all - I'm usually here by myself. Anyway, I'm enjoying the view."
"Oh really? How 'bout this view then?" She looked around, moved closer, surreptitiously lifted the front of her skirt. She was commando.
"Aren't you cold?"
"Actually, quite warm. Wanna see?" grabbed my hand, pulled it between her legs.
"Yes, you are. You know, I can help with that."
"Plan on it," she laughed, dropped her skirt, heading back to the girls. Boy, I'd missed her.
After the bar, the girls hunkered down at my place, chatting, looking at pictures, videos. Over Olivia's shoulder I saw me behind Alex. She leaned back. "You are one lucky dude, aren't you?"
"More than I deserve."
"Deserves got nothing to do with it." She stood up, faced me. "Ready for a show?"
"Like a dance recital?"
"Fuck you, asshole." She ran her hand up my leg, stopping, cupped me. "I think you know..."
"Ever since Katie visited me at the table." Olivia looked over her shoulder at Katie, who shrugged. "On the off chance something might happen, I fortified myself."
"Good boy. Now sit."
Much of that night is a blur - I've never been very good at concentrating on many things at once, and there was a lot to see; Olivia on the couch with Alex between her legs, Katie kneeling on the floor, ankles crossed, bound, Izzie pulling hands up, over head.
Izzy came up behind, wrapped arms around me, leaned in, whispered "How'm I doing?"
"Practicing I see." We laughed. "What's next?"
"I have some ideas. You wanna see anything in particular?"
"Two thoughts. First, sorry to point out a mistake, but you forgot to undress Katie. Second, what does our resident voyeur suggest."
"Not a mistake." She opened a drawer, brandished scissors. "These should handle it."
