When Jane walks into the kitchen in the morning and sees Laura already sitting at the dinner table with a steaming mug of coffee, she freezes. She almost turns tail to hide in her room, but remembers that Laura would have no idea that Jane had been shamelessly touching herself to the view of Laura and her partner the previous night. If anything, acting out of the ordinary would only make Laura suspicious.
It's not like she can say anything, Jane reasons. She was the one having sex in the living room, of all places.
"Morning," Jane says, and she's relieved to find her voice sounds normal. She walks over to the fridge and grabs a yogurt.
"Morning! You look exhausted."
"Yeah, well, midterms were rough." Laura makes a small sympathetic noise. Jane grabs a spoon and sits down at the table across from Laura, trying not to stare too much. Laura's sleep camisole doesn't cover a lot of skin, but even a more conservative T-shirt couldn't hide the faint red marks on her neck. "How'd you sleep?"
"I was up pretty late," Laura says, raising her coffee mug. Her cheeks color and she looks into her drink. "Brennan's here, by the way."
Jane swallows too much yogurt and coughs. "Brennan...?" That must be the man from last night, Jane realizes. The name sounds familiar, but she can't place it.
"We went on a few dates last month. Then he was out of town for a few weeks, so I didn't get to see him."
"Oh, right." Jane remembers Brennan now. They'd never formally met, but Laura had gushed about how kind and funny he was, and Laura had seemed a little listless the past few weeks. "Is he a student?"
"No, he graduated two years ago. He's friends with Jake, that's how we met."
Jake is Laura's brother, with a reputation for being on the wild side. Jane raises her eyebrows. "Another frat boy then?"
"No, just one of his work friends," a deep male voice says, and Jane looks up in surprise to see the same man from last night walk into the kitchen. They lock eyes and Brennan smiles. She didn't notice last night, but up close in the daylight Jane can see that he's quite attractive. He looks surprisingly clean cut given what she saw and heard of last night's activities, but Jane tries not to focus so much on that. A strange expression flits across his face but he simply makes his way to grab a mug from the cabinet (how did he know where we keep the mugs?) and pours himself a cup of coffee.
"Babe, any more coffee for you?"
"I'm good, thanks," Laura says, smiling brightly.
Brennan takes the seat to Laura's right, kissing her temple. "You got up so early," he says, voice low.
"Sorry," she murmurs back, flushing. "We're usually up pretty early on weekends," she says, eyes darting to Jane, then back to Brennan.
"As long as you're not avoiding me," he says sweetly, then reaches around her shoulder and squeezes her left breast.
Jane startles at the brazen display, and Laura lets out a small squeak, but Brennan doesn't react. He brings the mug to his mouth and takes a sip, his hand still on Laura's breast.
"Laura's told me a bit about you. Your name is Jane?" he asks.
"Hm? Oh. Yeah. I'm Jane," she says dazedly, tearing her eyes away from Laura's breast with difficulty. It's hard to meet either of their eyes, and she looks down into her yogurt. "I'm Laura's roommate," she says lamely.
"Yeah, I figured that out," Brennan laughs. Laura whimpers softly and Jane sneaks a glance, biting her lip when she realizes that Brennan is pinching and rolling her nipple through her camisole. Both of her nipples are hard, poking out from the thin material. "Laura says you study mathematics?"
"Um. Yeah. And statistics." Jane squirms in her seat.
"That's cool. Quantitative girl, huh? I've never had much of a brain for numbers. Using a spreadsheet is about all I can do." His fingers push down her camisole and Laura's left breast pops out. Jane can't believe it. She blinks rapidly and pinches her thigh, but she's not dreaming. This is really happening! That perfect, full breast is on display again, and Jane wants. She feels a rush of arousal between her legs, and her own nipples are hard, poking through the soft cotton of her sleep shirt. "Doesn't Laura have the prettiest nipples?"
"Mm - huh?"
"Her nipples," he says, like she's slow. Jane supposes she is slow to understand what's happening. With his other hand, Brennan pulls down the other side of her camisole and Laura's right breast is freed from the fabric as well. He starts pinching them and Laura moans. "Look at the color. So pink. I just want to put them in my mouth. Don't you?"
Jane flounders. She looks at Laura. Laura looks shyly back, eyes a little glassy, biting her lip. "Do you?" Laura asks softly.
"Yeah," Jane says, once she can find her voice again.
