Chapter 1
Alice was looking at the stars in the perfectly clear night skies. Away from the city, she could see more bright dots in the sky than she could possibly count.
"Thanks for taking me camping, Rick, this is so nice!"
Sitting next to Alice, the young man looked at her, and as he often did, he felt sad for her. While he could drive and walk to this spot whenever he wanted, Alice couldn't even leave her house on her own. The young woman had suffered a grave injury when she was fourteen, which left her quadriplegic. Ten years later, she had overcome many issues she had stumbled upon after her re-education process, but, entirely paralyzed below her neck, there were many things she couldn't do.
She had always wanted to go camping, and finally, Rick had taken her, along with the lightweight foldable wheelchair she was currently sitting in. The young man had set up the tent they were going to sleep in.
After looking at the stars and talking about their day for a couple of hours, he finally led her to the tent. He carried her inside and put her on her back on her inflatable air mattress, then sat on his own.
One subject leading to the other, they ended up talking about Rick's love life. As Alice knew, he had left his last girlfriend a few months ago. They talked about his relationship with her and with the previous ones. After a while, Alice said :
"I wish I could have had half of these experiences... My last experience with a guy was my second boyfriend, when I was fourteen, and all we ever did was kissing."
Rick knew Alice had terrible self esteem issues since her accident. She saw herself as damaged goods, and despite being very pretty, she unwillingly kept men at a distance. She felt like her body wasn't desirable, despite the thin silhouette she had managed to keep, which made her generous and firm breasts stand out more.
"We're only 24, you still have your whole life ahead of you, Alice," he said with a smile. "You'll definitely find someone, you're beautiful, and don't let your disability make you think otherwise."
"You're so kind, Rick." She smiled back at him. "You know, sometimes I feel so frustrated. I mean, how many girls have you been with? I mean, sexually? Five? Six?"
"Six, yes..."
"Well, I've never been with a guy. Heck, I've never seen a man without his clothes on... Except on the internet, obviously..."
They both laughed.
"Wait, you mean, you go to those websites?"
"Well yeah, dummy! You don't?"
Rick blushed a little. He was very comfortable with Alice, but they had never talked about sex, and the subject made him a bit nervous.
"I... Of course I do, like all guys..."
"Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I don't have desires too, you know..."
They looked into each other's eyes, and both knew when she said "a girl", she really meant "disabled". Rick had never thought about his friend's sexuality until that point. Innocently, he had dismissed that part of her life because of her tetraplegia. They stopped laughing and their tone became a little more serious.
"Sorry, Alice, that's not what I meant..."
"You know, I'm curious... Like I said, I've never seen a man naked... That leaves a girl wondering."
Rick smiled shyly.
"Well there's an easy way to satisfy your curiosity!" he said.
Alice opened her eyes wide.
"Uh, you're serious?"
The young man let out a nervous laugh and replied :
"I'm only joking, Alice, relax, don't worry..."
"Oh... sure, Rick. Actually, I... wasn't worried."
"What's that?"
Alice blushed. Unlike her friend who was unwillingly expressing his embarrassment with his body language, only the uncontrolled rush of blood to the young woman's cheeks gave away hers. Still, uneasiness but also excitement could be felt in her voice:
"I, um... wouldn't have been against... seeing you. I mean, just out of curiosity..."
She couldn't look into his eyes as she spoke, and instead stared into space. Both curious and flattered, though somewhat embarrassed, her friend asked:
"You'd... want to see me?"
"I... guess so... Don't take this the wrong way, Rick, but like I said, I've never seen a guy before and I'm... curious."
"I..." He paused to think for a moment before he continued his sentence. "I can do it if you want. I mean, I have nothing against it. You... can't tell anyone, though!"
Still blushing, the young woman smiled as she replied:
"Of course, Rick... I promise."
"Um... there we go, I guess."
As he spoke those words Rick pulled up his tee-shirt, revealing his torso. He then rose to stand on his knees, and unbuttoned his jeans. Awkwardly, he pulled them down and tossed them aside. Alice was now looking at her friend's body, wearing only his underwear. Rick gulped and asked:
"You sure...?"
Their faces were both scarlet. Alice smiled and replied:
"Yes."
Rick slowly slid his thumbs beneath the sides of his underwear and pulled them down. His friend's eyes widened as she looked at his cleanly shaven sex. The tent wasn't large, and he was close enough to her that she could see him in detail.
Silent and immobile, Rick looked at Alice, who was staring at his intimate parts. This lasted a few seconds, before the young man suddenly felt a familiar sensation, as his blood began rushing down. The young woman gasped as she saw his penis begin to grow before her. As it hardened, the tip progressively rose until it pointed upward.
Rick was ashamed of what was happening, but at the same time, it felt nice and somewhat liberating to let his erection grow before his innocent friend. Neither of them said a word, until the young man's sex was completely hard, and pulsing with every heartbeat. From where she lied, Alice could clearly see both his penis and his balls. Though inexperienced, she knew exactly what had just happened, and broke the silence with a question:
"Did you... do that on purpose?"
Rick laughed and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"N-no, not really! Sorry, I'm not used to just... standing naked in front of a girl."
"Don't worry Rick, it's... nice... thanks for showing me."
"S-sure."
The young woman couldn't look away from the throbbing member. She said with a smile:
"It looks very nice, and big..."
"Thanks," Rick replied shyly.
"Come closer, I want to see better."
Standing on his knees, Rick awkwardly approached his friend as close as he was comfortable with. His hard sex bobbed left and right as he moved, and ended up close enough to Alice's face that she could see it in detail. Silently, she looked at it for a while as it throbbed with each of Rick's heartbeats. Eventually, the young woman gathered her courage and said:
"I-if I could, I'd... touch it."
"You would?" Rick reacted, and they both laughed in embarrassment.
While it was obvious they were both very ill at ease, each could also tell that the other was getting more and more aroused. Alice asked:
"Rick, could you... touch it for me?" The young man's eyes widened, and she added: "I'd like to see how you do it, since I can't... you know, do it for you..."
