Chapter 13: Pushing Boundaries
Kelsey sat down in one of the wooden chairs that was part of their dining table. The air in this cabin was thick and full of musk. Unlike Rachel, Kelsey felt no real desire to roll around in post coiltal messes. She wondered if it would be rude to crack open the window. Luckily, Rachel seemed to be aware enough to do that before sitting down at the table. They were all oddly silent for a few moments. The elephant in the room could not be more obvious. Tom finally broke the spell.
"I just realized, I'm the stinky one in the room," Tom said. He quickly gathered a handful of objects that looked roughly like toiletries and excused himself.
A light breeze moved the curtains of the window. Kelsey and Rachel sat quietly, listening to the crunching sound of Tom's receding footsteps. Finally, unable to handle this growing awkwardness, Kelsey faced Rachel.
"What's your deal?" Kelsey asked. She was tired of being blindly played with.
"What do you mean?" Rachel countered.
"Don't act all cute and innocent with me. I know what you've been doing. I'm telling you right now, I don't like being fucked with." Kelsey had to pinch off the biting tone in her voice. She was not really that angry about it.
Rachel breathed out a long, slow breath. Her game was up, or at least, this part of it. That was fine. It would have eventually come to this. She just figured on having more time to enjoy feeling like Tom was sneaking around behind her back. Now, she would just ride the waves that her splash caused. Whatever that may be.
"Okay. I'll do my best to explain it but I barely understand it myself," Rachel said. She leaned back in the chair and took a second to collect her thoughts.
"The past couple of weeks have been some of the most sexually gratifying days of my life." Rachel continued. "And though the timing could not be worse for a sexual awakening, it appears to be happening to me. Ever since I found out about what you and Tom did that first time, I have not been able to act right. I swear, it's like I'm in heat. I'm always horny."
Kelsey listened to Rachel speak and started to feel a little kinship. She could relate, ever since that first night in the shed, all Kelsey has wanted to do is have sex.
"So, why be all weird and sneaky?" Kelsey asked. "If you like it, you could have said something."
"I don't really know what I want, to be honest," Rachel answered. She thought of Cameron and his big arms. "Weird and sneaky felt like a good way to find out."
"But you like girls?"
"Maybe?" Rachel laughed. "I never thought so until, well..."
"Ahh." Kelsey said and then looked at the floor.
Kelsey thought about it and decided that it might be fun to have Rachel involved. However, she did not or could not picture herself doing stuff to Rachel. Kelsey would need to be a lot more comfortable before she wanted to try anything that crazy.
"But you do want to be involved, you know, when me and Tom do it?" Kelsey asked. She bit her lip nervously and then continued in a rush.
"Because I don't know if I want that. At least, not now. I've never done anything with another girl and haven't really thought about it. If that's a deal breaker for you guys, I need to know now."
Kelsey's almond eyes were shiny with emotion and Rachel met them easily. Pressuring this young woman was far out of the range of what Rachel wanted to do.
"Kelsey, no. That's not a deal breaker at all." Rachel said. She reached forward and took Kelsey's hands. Rachel was surprised she let her hold them.
"Look, I'm not going to kid you and say that it wouldn't rock my socks off to be involved with you and Tom. But that would only be fun if everyone wanted it. I have no problems with staying out of your way until you feel comfortable, okay?"
Kelsey nodded. She seemed to be in control of her emotions. The tears that almost filled her eyes never grew heavy enough to fall.
"Okay. That's good. Still weird but good. How can you stand this without getting jealous?"
"Who says I don't feel jealous?" Rachel asked. "I feel jealous sometimes."
"Oh. Well, why do you let it happen?"
"I guess because the other feelings are better? Sometimes we feel emotions that don't have a place in our lives. That's just human nature. Anger, fear, lust, jealousy, are emotions we all feel. You can't give free reign to all of them or it'll drive you wild. Trust me on that. I'm not the best person at controlling myself."
"I know what you mean." Kelsey said. She was pretty bad at ignoring her own desires.
"I do have one, little request though." Rachel said softly, giving Kelsey her best innocent look.
