This is the eighth episode in my story series, Years Before.
In the last part, Eva and I enjoyed a weekend of sheer pleasure with recognition of the deepening of our feelings toward each other.
In this part, our relationship accelerates toward a carnal, erotic peak, witnessed by another, before an unavoidable reality changes everything. A much needed friend comes to the rescue.
Thank you for reading

After that first weekend in May, a distinct change happened between Eva and I. Instead of trying to find space to meet around other things we had going on, instead we were making sure that time with each other was the priority.
These times were where we'd go and do things together. A proper relationship was forming and we weren't doing anything to prevent it happening. It was so much more than just sleeping with each other, although our sexual appetites were well sated when we could. We had fallen for each other, no doubt, readily displaying a more obvious tactile approach to each other in public -- handholding, touches, kisses.
Our "thing" had become a full-blown romance.
This had consumed us so much that we realised that Cass had been back a good few days after her holiday with her Mum before we thought that we'd not heard from her. We decided to call on her one night.
The door was open.
"Cass, Cass, you here?"
"In the kitchen, Eva."
Cass was pleased to see both of us and, of course, we were able to be relaxed around her so any physical change of behaviour between us wasn't so obvious. Cass had a lovely tan on her. Sorrento had suited her well.
"Cass, you look gorgeous. Got some tan lines to show us then." Eva was never shy about jumping in with questions.
"Maybe, but only some." Cass had a coy look on her face.
"Come on then, tell us."
"Well, Mum and I had a bit to drink one night and we bet each other we wouldn't do nude sunbathing. I mean, it's my Mum, you know? Never thought it would come to anything."
"Sounds like it did then?" said Eva, fishing.
"Yes, Mum remembered the conversation and, by breakfast the following morning, had a list of good places where a bit of nudity would be tolerated."
"Oh, so you did it then?"
"Yes, Mum had a hire car and, in the end, we went somewhere new every day. Did eight of them in the end."
"And how did you feel about being nude with your Mum?"
"A bit odd at first but Mum still has a good body and was really kind about not making me feel self-conscious about my boobs because they are...big. Anyway, the only way you'll oil your back is having someone else to do it so we just got stuck in."
Eva and I glanced at each other having been able to appreciate that exact point only recently.
As we went on to discover, this actually served to tear down a few boundaries between Cass and her Mum and they had some of the best conversations they'd ever had. No subject left undiscovered. Our chat got on to the obvious.
"So, what about David then, Cass?"
"OK." Cass hesitated slightly before continuing "You might not like this but I'm giving it a bit more time...on Mum's advice."
Both Eva and I were interested in this change but, if Cass was expecting an outburst of objections from us, they didn't come. Cass carried on.
"So, Mum knows about you, Andy."
"OK, so...everything...the naughty bits?"
"Yes, the lot, including Easter..."
"Wow, so that is being straight up then."
"Yes, and that's partly what prompted Mum to say I needed to be absolutely sure David was a no-go and, long story short, I couldn't do that yet so..."
"You're trying again."
"Yes, but I read the riot act to him this week and told him that if he didn't sort it out that there was someone else waiting."
And so, it transpired that this had apparently made David buck his ideas up and try properly. Apparently, he had been very attentive the last few days which was why we'd not heard from Cass either.
So, we chatted a while longer and Cass settled on the idea of a party in mid-July. Not loads of people but one to let the drink flow, have some fun, stay over. Eva and I agreed that it sounded good. We were up for it.
When Cass had asked us how the "thing" was going, we portrayed the physical side but didn't necessarily set out how our feelings about each other had accelerated into something more romantic.
After leaving Cass's, we also realised that the reason we'd not been so disgusted at the idea of David still being around was that Cass finishing with him meant calling a halt to us, by the nature of the agreement.
The challenge in all of this, though, was that Eva and I had now been together for over 4 months by this point and things were not standing still. We'd moved on from considering an end point. We were immersed in each other.
However, it was her closest friend who would very likely spell the end of this at some point...and we'd have to admit that this might happen. It was a barrier we were ignoring.
-
So, mid-July came - Cass's party. On a warm Summer Saturday night, I turned up at Cass's. Eva and I decided to be a little circumspect in our behaviour around each other for this party which, with many years of hindsight, seems nonsensical but there would be people there who wouldn't know what was going on, not least Ruthie and David.
There were a few people about already and a familiar voice greeted me from behind.
"Hi Andy, Great to see you."
A little squeeze on my waist and there was Ruthie. She seemed very happy and looked good too. The collar-length blond hair was growing out a little, draping on her shoulders now in a loose bob, black polo neck jumper and jeans and the white plimsoles again. Casual, relaxed and, most of all, happy.
"So, what's going on? You're looking really good, by the way!"
"Ooh, thank you. Yes, well I've stayed away from most of the men and I'm just looking after myself a bit."
"That's brilliant. You got someone here tonight?"
"Yes, him."
As Ruthie answered, Pete came out of the kitchen -- the guy who she'd knocked back before when things crashed and burned for her. I knew Pete. We'd had one of those friendships where we were hanging around together a lot and then situations changed and it petered out. Suffice to say, we were perfectly fine and had a bit of a catch-up before I moved on and he went to find Ruthie.
It seemed that Ruthie had decided that, after more calls from Pete, she relented. They'd been out for drinks a couple of times. "Snogs but no sex", Ruthie was quick to point out so tonight she decided she'd bring him along. Apparently, Ruthie was having Cass's single bed because the double upstairs had a load of boxes on it and Pete, Eva and I would be on the floor in sleeping bags. At least, Eva and I would.
I saw Cass only briefly at points during the party. It turns out things were going so well with David that they spent most of their time in her Dad's bedroom apparently banging each other's brains out. I was genuinely happy for her.
Soon after Ruthie went off, Eva arrived.
She looked tremendous. The infamous outfit from the Lake Park night was on, the white shirt this time having a small belt around it to set it off, a red pendant hanging just below breast level, which was where the shirt was buttoned up to, again showing me a little skin. The same dark red skirt with her lovely bare legs and the black court shoes again. I thought to myself "You are so lucky that woman is with you tonight."
Eva came straight up to me and gave me a gentle peck on the lips and we exchanged pleasantries in front of others, attempting to look as casual as possible. Seeing her in that outfit again, my thoughts were purely carnal at. I suggested we popped out the back for a cigarette. As soon as it was clear we were out of earshot and eyeline, Eva planted a big smacker right on my lips.
"I've missed you, how are you?"
"I'm good, Eva. All the better for seeing you. You look brilliant, really sexy, especially as you've got what we might call your "fucking" clothes on."
"Oh yes, why do you think I wore them, sexy man? Look, one thing. I've got to leave at 7a.m. tomorrow"
Her Mum and Dad were making a visit to a particular family relative some distance away and Eva's presence was required.
"So, what are we going to do tonight? I can't walk around just looking at you."
Eva smiled "I've had a think. Got a plan."
Of course, the lovely, meticulous woman would.
"We can "get off" with each other, starting quite soon, I think, and, in a couple of hours, most will be drunk enough they won't care anyway."
So, that's exactly what we did.
We had a great time, apparently slowly building up in front of people but letting things get a little more carnal in stolen moments outside.
Not many people would have noticed Eva's belt disappear, for instance, because, down the side of the house, we'd stolen a few minutes where Eva invited me to open her shirt so I could kiss her tits and suck her nipples.
I'd also managed to establish that Eva had a lacy pair of panties on. She felt the need with other people around in that particular skirt. However, they fitted nicely on her wrist when she wanted them out of the way to get her labia played with. All of this carried on during the evening when we could go out and be undisturbed.
