CHAPTER ONE: FIRST ROUND FOR CHRISSIE AND PATRICK
My college roommate and I were dating another pair of roommates (we're all over 18). Both couples were getting pretty involved physically, to the point where scheduling make-out sessions was getting tricky. One night, I'd had enough and finally told them to go to her room and send her roommate to stay with me while they did their thing. We were on different floors of the same building, so not a big deal.
My girlfriend arrived in a bit of a huff. "I was studying some rather complex material," she began. "Being thrown out of my own room wasn't helpful."
"Sorry, but watching Anna and Bobby go at it was too distracting," I apologized, lamely. "I'm trying to study, too. Let's make this a study date, emphasis on the study more than the date."
"Okay," she said. "Glad I brought my books and computer. I'll take Bobby's desk, if I can find enough of it to work on."
"Stack it neatly and he should be able to recreate his system, such as it is," I told Chrissie.
"What have you got to drink?" she asked.
"Water on tap; can make tea," I replied.
"Tea, the stronger the better," she said.
"One cuppa coming up," I replied as I filled a mug and put it in the microwave. I gave her the bin of assorted teas to let her take her pick.
"Thanks," she replied. "I had been looking forward to a quiet night of studying."
"So was I," I told her. "Then Anna and Bobby started going at it and I just couldn't focus."
She got the mug of hot water out of the microwave and dunked the teabag she'd chosen.
"Now, let's hit the books," she directed.
"Yes, ma'am," I obeyed.
We spent about an hour studying before losing focus on the material. Synchronized yawns signaled time for a break.
"How much of a break do you want?" I asked.
"Maybe 15 minutes," she replied. "Hopefully that'll clear the fog enough to get back on the study track."
I walked over to my bed, sat down, patted the mattress next to me. She joined me, and we kissed. This wasn't her usual quick smooch to avoid accusations of engaging in a p.d.a. It was full of more passion than I was ready for, frankly. I adapted quickly, though, and we held that kiss for longer than any of our earlier lip-locks.
"You never kissed me like that before," she said.
"You never kissed me like that before, either," I countered. "I think this is our first private kiss, though, no onlookers to snicker at us."
"True," she admitted. "Four months of dating and this is the first time we've been alone together behind a locked door with the windows covered."
"Don't tempt me," I warned her. I could feel the excitement growing in my pants.
"I don't intend to," she replied. "However, Valentine's Day is coming."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"You'll see," she replied, with a mischievous wink and smile.
"Time to get back to work," I told her.
"Yes, boss," she replied, almost pouting.
We studied another hour, then had both had enough. Bobby still wasn't back, and hadn't called.
"I wonder what our roommates are up to," I mused.
"Probably being oh so naughty," Chrissie replied. "Anna's been talking about getting Bobby alone some time and getting physical."
"Oh?" I said, quizzically.
"She's a horny bitch," Chrissie told me. "Plays with herself a lot at night. Sometimes loudly enough to wake me."
"Well, if Bobby's jerking off, he's quiet about it," I replied. "We also have different enough schedules that he could do it while I'm in class and I'd never know."
"Do you jerk off when he's in class?" she asked.
"Sometimes," I admitted.
"Do you think about me when you do?" she asked.
"Sometimes. Other times I find a porn video online and focus on that."
"Oh," she said. "So do you think I'm sexy?"
"Of course," I replied. "I just don't want to get too wrapped up in fantasizing about you that I do something inappropriate or say something I shouldn't."
"How do you know you're not doing that now?" she countered.
"You started this thread," I told her. "You tattled on your horny roommate as if you don't really mind, which suggests you have similar thoughts."
"TouchΓ©," she winced. "However, you do seem a bit slow on the moves for some reason."
"I don't want to rush you," I told her.
"I'm feeling very un-rushed," she said, sounding almost a little annoyed.
"Given all the issues with guys pushing too hard and getting smacked down, I've always been hesitant to give the impression that I'm pushing for something you're not ready to do," I explained.
"I'll call Anna and see what they're up to," she said as she got her phone and dialed her roommate.
"No answer," she said after time for several rings. "Voice mail's full, too."
I got my phone, dialed Bobby, got the same lack of answer but got voicemail and left a message.
It was about time for bed. I needed a shower, guessed Chrissie did too. This would be an interesting discussion.
"Looks like you may be here for the night," I told her. "I don't suppose you brought a toothbrush."
"As a matter of fact, I did. I keep one in my bag since sometimes I have lunch on the far side of campus and need to brush after each meal. I even have floss and toothpaste."
"Be prepared, as they say in Scouting."
"Practice good oral hygiene, my dentist keeps telling me."
"I've got a spare towel, and pajamas that might fit you," I told her. "Do you want to shower first or second?"
"Neither," she replied with a wink. "These showers are just about big enough for two."
"Really?" I wondered. "Now, how would you know that?"
"Geometry," she replied with a wicked grin. "The shower is size x; I'm size y; you're size z. Since x is greater than y+z, we should both fit."
"Are you measuring our widths or thicknesses or area we cover when standing?"
"All of the above," she replied smugly.
"Okay, let's get towels and pajamas ready and hit the shower," I told her, not sure if she had anything else in mind but soap and water. This would be the first time naked together, and even standing we would be in very close proximity.
I gathered what we needed, then she dragged me into the bathroom. She stripped quickly and easily. She was stark naked while I was still unbuttoning my shirt.
"Let me help you," she offered, undoing my belt, pants button and zipper then pulling down pants and briefs in one quick motion. "That's better."
We got into the shower. As I expected, it was a tight fit but manageable. I turned the water on so we could get wet. I turned it off so we could get lathered up.
