Candy and Peter had been friends all through high school. Neither of the two geeky redheads were terribly popular and neither one of them had dated very much in high school. And neither had ever made a move on the other.
Their eighteenth birthdays were shared with each other and the events were nothing you could really call a party.
Graduation day arrived and the two friends hugged afterwards. Their families put on a joint celebration for them and while the two young people appreciated the effort, it all fell short of the mark.
It seemed there was always something missing for Candy and Peter.
One early morning in June Peter came by to visit Candy. Her parents had already left for a Saturday of sailing with friends and that left Candy alone when her friend arrived.
Like Peter, Candy was dressed for the summer and was just wearing a t-shirt and shorts. When Peter let himself into the house he slipped off his shoes before heading up to Candy's room. They'd been texting back and forth and she'd told him to just come up when he got there.
"Hey." was her greeting when he entered the bedroom.
"Morning." he replied.
Candy was sitting cross legged on her bed and Peter did the same, sitting opposite of her. This had become a habit for the two of them.
"Whatcha want to do today?" he asked. "We could head over to the pool and maybe meet Jimmy and Meg."
Candy took a deep breath. "Peter, I was thinking. You know how we're going off to college in the fall and all that?"
"Yeah." said her friend.
"So I was thinking maybe we could get a little experience with things before we do that?"
"Like what?" he asked.
Candy looked down at her bedspread with the pink unicorns on it. "Like..."
"Yeah?"
She took a breath. "Like maybe we could try sex?"
Candy had been afraid that Peter was going to laugh and think she was making a joke. What she didn't know was just how often she'd been the object of Peter's fantasies. He'd long imagined himself with the red haired pixie and had managed to keep it to himself for several years. He didn't want to risk ending their friendship.
"Seriously?" he asked.
"Yeah." she nodded. "I mean it."
"Wow."
There was a silence that seemed to build and just as Candy was about to say something Peter went first.
"Like now?" he asked. The excitement was clear in his voice.
"I hadn't thought about it being right now but I guess so."
"Do you want to kiss first?"
The redhaired girl took off her glasses and set them on her bedside table. Then, leaning over to him she lightly kissed him on the lips before sitting back again.
"That was nice." he said with a smile.
"Wow." he went on, "do we need to plan this or something?"
"Hold on." said Candy as she got up and went to her closet. She searched around for a moment and then found a strip of the condoms the school had handed out a few months before.
"You're serious?" he said to her.
"I am. I guess I don't want to start college a virgin. And you're my best friend so why can't we both be each other's first, right?"
Peter mindlessly nodded, "Yeah, right."
The two of them stared at each other and took in the moment.
Candy acted first. "Well, I guess I should go first." she said as she pulled off her t-shirt.
Peter felt his cock react as he took in his first view of his friend's modest tits. But then he came to his senses and took off his own t-shirt.
Candy got up and dropped her shorts and panties in one move and then quickly got under the sheet covering her bed. Peter followed her lead and then joined her under the sheet. Candy managed to get in a glance at Peter's hard cock before he covered himself. She liked what she saw.
The two of them were now in a whole new world of sensation as they felt bare skin next to bare skin.
"Can I touch you?" he asked her.
"Yeah." was her quiet reply.
She loved it as his warm hand explored her body. Her own hand went to Peter's shoulder and felt his warmth. He had been on the track team as an alternate and his lithe body was in excellent shape. The two of them lightly kissed while they explored each other. She silently allowed it when he ran a finger through her pussy lips.
"Do you want to put it on?" Candy asked him.
He knew what she meant and he reached for the strip of condoms. He took a package off the strip and tore it open.
Candy watched as he pulled the sheet back to expose his cock. She smiled for a moment as he put on the blue condom and then he looked at her.
"Okay?" he asked.
"Yeah." she replied.
Candy had a brief moment of regret as she realized that this wasn't going to be the storybook romance for her. Her best friend was excited about having sex and she was too, but she would have been happier with a little romance too.
'This was what I asked him for', she thought to herself as the two virgins awkwardly adjusted themselves.
Peter was still in a kind of shock that he was about to have sex! He hadn't expected this when he'd come over to see Candy and he'd never really thought of her this way before. Now all he could think of was getting his cock into her pussy and enjoying his first fuck.
Candy jumped a little when she felt the slimy lubricated condom touch her thigh. She could also feel Peter trembling as he moved himself up on her body.
'This is it' she thought to herself.
Peter felt his cock push against Candy and realized he'd pressed himself against her belly.
"Be careful." she said to him as he readjusted himself.
Candy looked at him and all she saw was a blank look as he concentrated on what he was doing.
She felt his cock prodding around and then Peter reached down between them.
"Huhhh!" she gasped as he slotted his cock into her opening.
She was suddenly afraid of the very adult decision they were about to make.
"Maybe we can..." she got out before he started to thrust. Between her arousal and the lubricated condom he was balls deep into her before she could finish the sentence.
"Shit." he breathed as he felt his rubber wrapped cock get its first taste of pussy.
Candy likewise took a breath with the impact of his sudden intrusion. The physical sensation of fullness in her body was almost as incredible as the emotional realization that she was no longer a virgin.
Peter was overwhelmed with sensation and at the same time he didn't understand that the condom was preventing him from feeling everything. It dulled the sensation and without consciously thinking about it he started fucking Candy a lot harder than he should have.
"Peter, slow down!" she said in his ear.
"Oh, I can't!" he replied as he felt his balls churn.
Their first time hadn't even lasted two minutes before Peter was filling the condom with his seed.
Candy was disappointed that it had ended so quickly but she knew enough that it wasn't a big surprise.
Peter soon enough uncoupled from Candy and disposed of the condom.
The two friends talked about what had just happened and neither of them truly acknowledged how their friendship had just changed into something new.
Forty minutes later Peter was ready to go again.
"Slower this time?" requested Candy.
He nodded, "I'll try."
Candy was a little more prepared for him this time. Peter was also more prepared now that he knew her body better.
They weren't as awkward as he got between her legs.
Candy caught her breath as Peter's condom-wrapped cock easily slipped into her body. Like before he unwittingly was fucking her hard to get some feeling through the latex.
Candy was feeling a little beaten when she started feeling a new sensation. It came from deep inside of her and it washed over her far more powerfully than anything she'd ever done for herself. She even saw stars as she almost blacked out.
When she fully recovered Peter was already done and moving off of her.
After that Candy excused herself for a quick shower before she came back out to see Peter. She was fully dressed and even had a bra on so Peter understood that they were done having sex for the day. He wasn't sure if he could go another time but he wanted to try.
It would have to wait.
They left her house to go get a cheap hamburger and while they ate they managed to avoid talking about what had transpired between them.
It was a few days before Peter was over to visit again but this time Candy's parents were home. Per the house rules Candy's bedroom door was left open and the two teenagers kept the conversation mostly mundane. They did get in a little time to talk about sex while her parents were outside pruning the roses but that was all.
It was clear that they had to get together again.
The following weekend was out because that was Candy's time of the month. Peter had no problem understanding this. The subsequent weekend was out when Candy's parents took her to visit family out on Cape Cod.
During this time Peter had given a lot of thought to his experience with Candy. He loved feeling the girl's body against his and he certainly loved fucking her but the condom was a problem. He'd heard the other boys at school complain about the school-issued condoms being too thick and now he understood.
