Ashes 7

I'd been friends with Nikki for what seemed like forever. We met when we were three and her family moved into the house across the street from us. While not in the Fortune 400, both our families were quite well off. So we exclusively hung out with other rich folk, not wanting to mingle with the plebeians. It made sense that she and I would grow up good friends, as our parents practically insisted on it. Besides, Nikki was nice.

We were born only eight days apart. We went to the same exclusive private schools together and often were in the same classes. We even attended the same college and graduated in the same class.

What no one knew was that her father had made some poor financial decisions and had borrowed money from the Mafia. Money he had not paid back.

The fire was designed to make it look like an electrical malfunction had caused it. It started at 3:00 a.m. and blocked the escape route for Nikki's parents. It very quickly spread to her room, then the rest of the house.

By the time the fire department arrived, her parents were dead and she had severe burns. She was in the hospital for three weeks. Skin grafts could only do so much.

We of course took her in, once she was out of the hospital. She wanted to share a room with me, so my parents put in a second bed for her. We're rich: my bedroom was larger than some entire apartments the poor people have to live in.

"Nikki... jeez, i'm so sorry about what happened."

"Don't be. You didn't do anything to cause it, Chad."

"Still. It royally sucks." I wrapped my best-friend-since-childhood in a gentle hug and kissed her cheek.

"You're sweet. But it was Dad's fault. He's the one who got mixed up with them."

"You're only 23. And an orphan. That's horseshit."

"Can we talk about something else? I know you're trying to be sympathetic. I know you care a lot about me. But I don't feel up to dealing with it."

"Okay." I shut my mouth and just held Nikki for a while.

I didn't bring the subject up again. But it was obvious to Nikki that I was a sympathetic ear if she ever wanted to discuss it. About a week later, she burst into tears right as we were about ready for bed. I sat on her bed and silently wrapped an arm around her, nudging her head onto my chest. She locked her arms around me and blubbered for what had to be at least 30 minutes. I found myself gently patting her head without thinking about it.

When she'd finished making a wet mess of my pajama shirt, she sniffled a few times and looked up, her eyes meeting mine.

"Is it...?"

I couldn't bring myself to finish my sentence.

"No. I'm over that. Chad, I know they were my parents, and they weren't BAD to me. But they weren't particularly good to me either. Quite frankly, I feel like they ignored me most of the time. It's hard to miss people who really weren't in your life anyway."

"So what is it?"

Nikki took a deep breath.

"The burns. They've left me butt-ugly. No one who sees me will ever want me."

"Bullshit. You're a wonderful, kind, caring, gentle, sweet person. A few scars on the skin won't make a damn bit of difference."

"Thanks for saying that. Of course YOU would believe that, you've known me all my life. But to other people, who haven't known me all my life, the first thing they'll see is the burns and they'll be revolted."

I traced a line with my lips along the burn scars on her face and neck.

"You are beautiful, Nikki. Inside and out. I wish I had someone as awesome as you in my life as my girlfriend."

"Why don't you have one, Chad?"

I paused to think. It's not like I hadn't ever gone on dates, but there just wasn't ever that chemistry. And looking back on it...

"Because every time I was on a date, I was comparing the girl in question to you, and they didn't measure up."

That triggered a renewed bout of crying. When she'd finished drenching my shirt again, Nikki looked up at me.

"That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me."

I prised her hands from around me, got up, changed my pajama shirt, and climbed into my own bed after turning off the bedroom light.

"Goodnight, Nikki. Remember, you're awesome... and beautiful inside and out."

"Goodnight, flatterer."

The next night, Nikki came over to my bed.

"Kiss along my scars again, Chad."

I did.

"You think I'm still attractive."

"Yes."

She yanked off her shirt. The burns covered maybe a quarter of her torso, including part of her left breast.

"Who's ever going to want me when they see this?"

I kissed the burned portion of her breast. She had quite plump breasts. Probably D-cups, though since I'm not a girl, I couldn't know for sure.

"Me. Nikki, if you don't put your clothes back on I'll be removing your pajama bottoms and bending you over the bed in about 30 seconds."

She put her shirt back on.

"Really? I had a couple of sexual experiences before I got burned in the fire, and even then I got the idea the guy wasn't exactly lusting for me. He thought my ass was too big."

She turned away from me and bent over, yanking down her pajama pants. Her bare ass was nice and round, but it wasn't the size of a house. In fact it was quite sexy. Before I realized what had happened, I had climbed off the bed and dropped to my knees to cover it with kisses.

Startled, Nikki spun around and yanked her pants back up. "Wow. You weren't kidding when you said you found me sexy."

"Nope. Do you feel the same way about me?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen you naked."

Nikki's teasing tone indicated the truth.

"I see."

I removed my pajama shirt and bottoms, leaving me unclothed. Nikki's eyes alternated between my chest and my hard seven-and-a-half inch cock.

"Very sexy indeed, Chad. Tomorrow evening, we start sexplay. Your mom and dad will be away for three days, and they leave at 6 p.m. to catch their flight."

"Fair enough."

The next evening, Nikki and I didn't bother putting on our pajamas. She came straight over to my bed and joined me on it.

"Just don't cum inside my pussy, OK?"

"Deal."

She lay her curvy body on top of me and gave me a deep kiss. We twined tongues for as long as we could hold our breath, eagerly exploring each other's mouths.

"Whew!"

"I think you should give my tits some love."

"With pleasure, Nikki."

I slid her upwards and kissed my way through her cleavage. Nikki purred softly and pressed me more firmly against the bed.

I cupped her large breasts in my hands, then kissed one of her nipples.

"Mmmmmm."

I brushed the other nipple with my fingertip. She smiled.

"These are lovely."

"Double D's, hon."

I took her nipple into my mouth and suckled with eagerness. She moaned softly, and I began lightly pinching and rolling her other nipple. She leaned down and used her arms to secure my head in place.

I switched the position of my mouth and my fingers. Nikki quivered and held me tighter.

"Don't stop," she husked.

"I won't."

I kept suckling and teasing her nipples for a good 15 minutes, switching back and forth every minute or so. Nikki eventually reached down to stroke my cock to full hardness.

"Let's 69," she whispered.

"Good idea."

Nikki repositioned her body. She placed her slit against my waiting tongue. I licked along it as her tongue found the tip of my cock.

I placed my hands on her fleshy rear and groped her. She spread her legs a bit more and lowered herself downwards, allowing my tongue to slide between her folds. I greedily lapped up her leaking nectar.

She took the full head of my cock into her mouth and traced sensual patterns with her tongue across it. I moaned and moved my own tongue faster within her. She slid her head further downwards and took almost all my length into her mouth.

I moved one of my hands from her butt and found her clit with a finger, gently brushing it. She clamped her thighs around my face and pressed her body downwards. I licked with greater intensity as she began sliding her tongue up and down the full length of my shaft.

With what can only be described as a roar - though muffled somewhat by my cock in her mouth - she gushed her sweetness over my face. I gulped down as much of it as I could. When she recovered, she climbed off me and eyed my cock hungrily.

"I'm ready to bounce on that thing."

"Okay. I'll warn you if I feel like I'm getting close."

She swung around and lowered her box onto my pole. She was quite tight.

"Ready, Chad?"

"Yes, Nikki."

She began sliding up and down on my cock. I put my hands on her hips to help guide her. She smiled and placed her hands on my chest to help balance herself.

She didn't race, but she moved with a steady rhythm. I leaned her torso forward so I could kiss her breasts. She liked that, and again secured my head in place as I did so.

"Mmmmm. I like how your cock feels inside me."

I couldn't reply, but I began moving my hips at the same rhythm she was using to bounce on me. She got the idea and began squeezing me with her internal muscles.

I slid one hand to her ass to grope it as she made steady love to me. She giggled a bit and pressed her body downwards, pinning me to the bed as I suckled her fine breasts.

It didn't take long before she climaxed again. This time her spasming pussy got me fairly close. I disengaged my mouth long enough to say so, and she climbed off me.

"Can't have you cum in my pussy. H'mmmm..."

"I'm up for however you want to finish me, hon."

"I do want you to finish in one of my holes. How about you take my ass?"

"Are you sure, hon? Have you tried it before?"

"No, but I trust you, Chad. Just be gentle."

"I'm honored, Nikki. I'll be very gentle."

Nikki got on her hands and knees, jiggling her shapely ass at me. I carefully lubed up her back channel, then moved my cock inward a tenth of an inch at a time.

If I had thought her pussy was tight, her ass was even tighter. It gripped my cock like a velvet glove. I pushed inward until I was hilted.

"You sure you're OK with this, Nikki?"

"Just give me a moment to get used to it."

I gave her a long moment, then eased about an inch of cock out before pushing back in slowly. Nikki moaned and began rubbing her pussy. I took my time, establishing a very slow rhythm. Her voluptuous body shuddered as I pumped her rear and she rubbed and fingered her box.

I leaned forward and reached my hands around to cup her massive breasts. I gently played with her nipples as I slid in and out of her tight ass. She quivered and moaned with pleasure.

When she climaxed suddenly, the ripples of her spasming pussy against her anal wall triggered me, and I shot jet after jet of my sperm into her butt. It took a moment for us to recover, and when we did, I pulled out and staggered to my feet. Nikki climed off the bed and we went to the shower to clean each other up. We took the time to kiss and grope each other after getting clean. I made sure to lovingly kiss every square inch of burned flesh on her body. That made her smile.

We dried off and spent the night in her bed, me holding her from behind. When we woke, I kissed her burns again.

"I'm starting to think you actually like those burns."

"Nikki, I wish you had never had to experience the horror of that fire. I wish you hadn't spent three weeks in the hospital. I wish your parents were still alive and you were still living with them, happily, across the street from me. Having said all of that, those burns are part of you. And l love you - burns and all."

What had I just said? I hadn't intended to say that. A love confession? It had just kind of popped out of my mouth before I had a chance to think.

But then again, I'd only known Nikki for 20 years. And maybe the reason none of the other girls I'd dated had ever lived up to her is because I'd always loved her. I just hadn't known it at the time.

"Chad... oh my god..."

Nikki locked her arms around me and pulled me so tightly against her I thought she'd crush my ribs.

"I love you so much, Chad."

Nikki's lips seized mine and she kissed me with tremendous intensity. Her tongue forced its way into my mouth and snaked halfway down my throat. I kissed her back in self-defense and eventually she had to break the lip lock so we could breathe.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to see the doctor about birth control. I want you to be able to shoot into my pussy without fear."

After we got married, she stopped the birth control long enough for us to have two kids. We've lived very happily together for 20 years now. And I still love to kiss her burns, to let her know I love all of her.
