"Hi Carl," said Margery as she slid onto the couch next to me. "Haven't seen you around lately. How've you been?"
Five weeks ago Margery had taken my virginity in a fuck-filled night that left me exhausted. We'd parted after breakfast as she promised to "spread the word" about my virility, or perhaps the little squeaky sounds I made as she blew me into a blinding orgasm. Of course I fell in love with her but my roommate Pete cautioned that Margery liked to get around, so I let her go. She became just a friend at the regular Sunday-afternoon club meetings held at the old Victorian house owned by the president, Ruth McGowen.
Since then, the club had provided me with three new lovers and I'd lived for two weeks with one of them. My last "date" had turned me into a quivering mass of psychologically-disturbed doubt that took nearly a week of shrinking to get past. I'd blown off a date with another member of the club but made amends by taking her to a lacrosse game, where she took a photograph with my camera that made the front page of the college paper. We'd agreed to meet again at the club today but she hadn't shown up.
So here was Margery. Again.
"It's been an interesting month," I smiled, awkwardly. "But one good thing was I got to know Ruth a little. She's really nice. And she really cares about us."
"Ruth's kept the club going for a long time," Margery replied, then paused. There was something on her mind.
"Carl, can we talk?"
"Sure. My place or yours?" Dumb and crude, and I regretted it instantly.
"Union. Coffee. Half an hour?"
"Sure." (
Phew! She wasn't offended.
)
I spotted Margery at a back-of-the-room table. She waved and smiled that smile.
"Tea, right?"
"You remembered."
While we waited for our orders, she mused on the new "talent" that had joined the club since New Year's. "There are so many newbies, they seem to think of the club as a place to post a help-wanted note, nothing more.
"Pete and I were thinking about how to get everybody more involved, as a club, with each other. We decided to have a potluck picnic like there used to be."
"That sounds great! Pete told me about them, but I've never been to one. They stopped a year ago, right?"
"Yes. They're really a lot of work. But Pete and I think it's worth having one before exams. In fact, we want to have it next Saturday."
"Not much time."
"Plenty of time if we can get a few people to help out."
"Okay, what can I do?"
"Great! I knew you'd pitch in!" and she leaned across the table and kissed me.
The picnic would be, as before, in Ruth's spacious back yard. Every member of the club would be assigned a contribution. A setup committee, a serving committee, and a cleanup committee, totaling 10 individuals, would manage everything. Expenses for paper goods, fuel for the gas grill, ice, and the like would be met by passing the hat.
All the members would be asked to come, as a show of support for Ruth and for the club that was doing so much for them. As always, they would be encouraged to invite potential new members.
"It surprises me how reluctant people are to reach out to their friends and say, 'hey, there's a group I hang out with that you'd like.' It's not like joining a sorority, we're all too involved in our own worlds for that kind of life. But there are benefits," and she grinned that raffish grin.
Since Thursday was my no-class day, I volunteered to run the assorted errands, picking up what had to be bought or fetched. Margery just happened to have a detailed list in her pocket.
"Pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?" I teased.
"I know you well enough," she teased back.
"Wanta eat dinner?"
"Sure."
"Italian?"
"You remembered."
We wrapped up the potluck arrangements conversation and segued into more personal things. She had just landed, as a mere sophomore, a teaching assistantship for next year. If teaching didn't work out, she was thinking of going into publishing, since she read a lot and liked editing other people's work β "and I'm the best fact-checker I know."
I neglected to mention my recent bout of impotence, regaling her instead with tales of my and Cindy's two-week dorm-cleaning stint. Then I picked up her theme of what the club meant to me.
"For the first time in my life, I'm hanging out with very different people, talking to them, listening to them, instead of being with just my camera, alone and shooting loneliness pictures. I got Carol to go to a lacrosse game and we took action pictures. She's got a real eye for sports photography, much better than mine. Did you see her shot on the front page this morning?"
"That was hers? The rag is improving."
I asked her advice about a major. "I'm thinking about sociology or psychology. I don't really have any passion for them, but they want a decision by the end of finals. I've done well enough in the classes, but . . ."
"Sometimes you pick a major that's like a safety school when you were applying to college. Remember?"
"Oh yeah. God that was awful."
"Well, this isn't nearly as bad. You stay in the College of Liberal Arts, you're safe. It's the skills you develop that matter. How you handle language, how you communicate your interest to others. You're good at that. You've made a lot of friends in the club, everybody likes you. Even Ruth, who's not easily impressed."
We finished dinner around seven and I signaled the waiter for the check, pulling out my student union debit card. Margery put her hand over the card. "Dutch," she said.

The spring light was fading when we arrived at my apartment. I ogled her ass as she climbed the stairs ahead of me. We sat on the couch and eyed each other.
I moved toward her and kissed her neck, holding myself in check. Her fingers in my hair and her hand moving slowly up my thigh encouraged my mouth to move to her lips and my hands to her breasts. She sighed as I tweaked the nipple of her left breast and she stroked my cock through my pants.
"C'mon, we need room," I said. "I'm not going to dump you on the floor like last time." She giggled.
I locked my door and we slow-motion came together, kissing and fumbling. When we broke for air, I knelt and slowly undid the closest sneaker, rolled off her sock, and took her big toe in my mouth.
"Oh! That's, that's, oh my," she said, and held onto my shoulder for balance. I ran my hands up her thighs, stood, and kissed her hard, passionately. She ground her hips into me.
Back on my knees for the other sneaker, this time I kissed the instep, then blew on the lingering saliva to cool it. My hands trickled up her thighs to the fly of her jeans and I palmed her pussy from the outside as I lowered the zipper.
Popping the button, I dropped her jeans and she stepped out of them. I reached inside her panties, squeezed the receptive cheeks of her ass, and drew them down and off.
Looking up, I saw her neatly trimmed bush. Her heat reached my nostrils as I ran my tongue over my lips. Pulling her hips to my face, I buried my mouth in the fur and sucked her pussy lips. "Oh god, that's sooooo nice," she said softly. I trickled my tongue over her whole mound, slithered in and out of the lips, and sucked them again.
She pulled my head hard into her pussy and writhed against my face. She lost her balance and fell backwards onto the bed, with her legs spread and open. "Don't you dare stop!" she husked.
Now it was
my
grin that was raffish.
I resumed roaming her pussy, fluttering my tongue to release her clitoral button as she squealed and jerked against me.
"Oh god, I'm going to cum! I'm gonna cum! YOU'RE MAKING ME CUM!" and her juices squirted, suddenly, all over my face.
I persisted. Having caused this first climax, I didn't want to lose my momentum. I inhaled her clit and sucked its tip.
"Oh my godddddddddd!" she yelled as she practically levitated off the edge of the bed. I was so tight into her that I was yanked along.
When she came down I slid my middle finger into her and twirled it. She moaned as she slowly tightened her thighs against my head. The more I moved my finger, the tighter that grip got. She bucked against my face and came again, but quietly.
She came down slowly. I knew she was back on earth when she started stroking my earlobe.
"Oh Carl, Carl, Carl, that was good, so good."
I was exhilarated. Margery had taken me to heaven for my first time and now I had pushed her skyward.
"God you are a good man," she panted as my face moved to hers.
"And you are a very sexy woman," I said, and stuck my tongue into her mouth. We pulled each other close and kissed till we ran out of air.
