In my second year of grad school, I lived in an apartment down the hall from Carla and Danielle. Carla, a tall brunette, was an executive at a tech firm. Danielle, a petite blonde, was a student like me. We were all in our late 20s. They were fun to hang out with, and great to look at. They were a couple, but I harbored a secret fantasy that they were bisexual and would one day invite me into their bed.
One afternoon, I knocked on their door to ask to borrow some sugar. It wasn't uncommon that I'd find some reason or excuse to see them. Carla had taken to musing that they needed to find me a girlfriend. I was happy to get such help, and hoped they'd find someone as hot as themselves. Anyway, this day, Carla opened the door, wearing jeans and sweatshirt. I started asking about the sugar, and then realized she was on her cell phone; she ushered me in, then gestured for me to sit down. I waited on the sofa as she paced with the cell phone.
"Yes," she said to someone. "In fact, he just walked in, to mooch off me for something." I heard some laughter over the phone and a woman's voice saying something that sounded like it ended with "keep him in line." Carla laughed in response and hung up. She turned towards me.
"Who was that?" I asked hesitantly.
"A friend of mine. Stephanie. I'm thinking of setting you up with her, if you behave. Now what was it you were looking to borrow?"
Slightly flustered, I said "Sugar," at which point Danielle walked in. "Don't call her sugar," she said mirthfully. Danielle was wearing a short white skirt and a black shirt with thin shoulder straps. My eyes must've widened at seeing her.
"I think you're his eye candy," Carla said, crossing her arms. She gave me a stern look. "We have some brown sugar, Paul," she said. "But before that, I'm glad you're here, with your usual any-excuse-to-check-us-out attitude."
I sat there not knowing what to say. Then, to my surprise, Carla turned her stern expression to Danielle. "Have you finished your paper?" Carla asked pointedly.
Danielle looked at Carla, then gave me a nervous glance before looking down at the floor. "Not yet," she replied quietly. She shifted her weight a bit on her gorgeous legs.
"You know what that means," said Carla briskly. "Go get the paddle."
Danielle looked shocked. "Now?" she asked, her hand gesturing toward me.
"Yes, in front of Paul," Carla said evenly. "You always enjoy his roving eye anyway. Let's give him something to look at."
Danielle's brow furrowed, and for a moment I thought there was going to be some kind of argument between them. Then she turned and headed to their bedroom. I sat on the sofa, not sure what was going on but no longer interested in the sugar. Danielle returned and walked up to Carla, holding out a small wooden paddle handle-first for her girlfriend to take.
Carla grabbed the paddle but also had her cell phone back out. She pushed a button, then spoke a moment later. "Stephanie, come over now," she said. "Paul's here, and I don't think he's leaving anytime soon. Plus, Danielle's about to have a session, which you and he can witness." I couldn't make out the reply on the phone, though it sounded enthusiastic. Carla hung up.
Danielle was standing there, blushing. "Both Stephanie and Paul?" she said, in an uncertain voice.
"Yep," Carla said. "You've agreed witnesses might be needed, to keep you on your study program." She looked over at me. "Of course, Paul, you're welcome to just grab the sugar and head out, if that's your preference."
I wondered if they'd noticed the growing bulge in my crotch as I sat. "I can stay," I said trying to sound nonchalant.
"Okay," Carla said, turning back toward Danielle. She gestured with the paddle in my general direction. "Kneel on the sofa next to Paul," Carla said. Danielle shot me a look that seemed a little bit resentful. Then she kneeled next to me, resting her elbows on the sofa. Her skirt rose up on her bare thighs. I turned my head slightly to look.
Behind the sofa was a space with a thin rug, and then a wall with some bookshelves and a mirror. Danielle was now looking at the bookshelf, as if trying to downplay the fact that I was present and next to her.
Carla moved closer. She held the paddle in her right hand, but before doing anything with that, she gave Danielle a few light pats on the butt with her left hand. Then she flipped up Danielle's little skirt. I stared at Danielle's panties, and then noticed her giving me a sideways, embarrassed glance. She turned back towards the bookshelves.
