Book 1, Chapter 5
When Tom finally arrived at the pool, he discovered Ashleigh and Sharon sleeping side by side on chaise lounges. Tom stepped between them and leaned down to kiss Ashleigh on the mouth. She opened her eyes and immediately threw her arms around his neck, pulling him down to her and kissing him deeply. Sharon opened her eyes and saw them kissing and smiled to herself. She would someday be kissing Ashleigh like that, she just had to bide her time.
Ted arrived a little later and they all ate lunch. The rest of the afternoon was spent sunning themselves and splashing in the pool. Ashleigh was confused. She wasn't used to being wanted by two people at the same time, especially when one of them was a woman. She enjoyed the attentions of both Tom and Sharon for most of the afternoon. She also noticed that Ted didn't suffer from any lack of attention from Sharon, adding to her confusion.
At six o'clock, Sharon claimed to be hungry and invited Tom and Ashleigh back to their house for dinner.
"Nothing fancy, mind you," she said, "but I guarantee you'll be satisfied." At the last word, she looked directly at Ashleigh and watched her lower her eyes as she caught Sharon's meaning. Tom and Ashleigh had no choice but to accept. Tom insisted on bringing some wine from his house and they agreed.
The four friends walked back towards Sharon and Ted's house. At the entrance, Tom excused himself and said he would be right back with the wine. He headed up the street alone at a fast walk.
Once in the house, Ted excused himself to take a shower. Sharon told him to save some hot water for them. She told Ashleigh to relax and went to the kitchen to start preparing their dinner. Although Ashleigh offered to help, Sharon declined and asked her simply to stay in the room and talk to her.
Ashleigh sat at the table and watched Sharon move about the kitchen. She felt the same stirring between her legs that she felt when Tom touched her and it confused her. She wanted to ask so many questions but this didn't seem to be the right time. Ted was down the hall and Tom would be back shortly. Finally, she decided to settle the question for herself. Ashleigh moved across the room to Sharon and interrupted her.
She looked into Sharon's eyes for a long moment then finally whispered. "Kiss me, please, really kiss me."
And Sharon complied.
The two women were about the same height and when their lips met, they quickly adjusted their body positions to be in as much contact with each other as possible. Ashleigh opened her mouth slightly in an invitation to Sharon, one that was immediately accepted by her probing tongue.
As their tongues met and their hands roamed each other's bodies, Ashleigh began to whimper quietly. Sharon nibbled at Ashleigh's lips, sucked lightly on her tongue, definitely playing the aggressor this time. Their breasts rubbed against each other, a feeling Ashleigh was experiencing for the first time as a sexual act. Sharon pressed her hips forward to mesh with Ashleigh's and their clits rubbed together thru the thin fabric of their thong panties. When the kiss ended, they held each other tightly. Ashleigh was shuddering and Sharon did her best to soothe her.
A moment later they separated with Sharon kissing Ashleigh lightly on the tip of her nose. She whispered, "Don't worry, baby, everything will work out just fine. You'll see."
Ashleigh moved back to the kitchen chair, still breathing hard and saw Sharon only through tear clouded eyes. She was both exhilarated and scared at the same time.
Just then the doorbell rang. Sharon said.
"That's probably Tom. Why don't you go let him in."
Ashleigh hesitated slightly and Sharon continued, turning to face her directly.
"Ashleigh, honey, don't get confused. This is not a competition. Tom is your main squeeze. If you like, I can be your "bit on the side."
Sharon smiled, winked, and wiggled her hips.
