(Christmas)
As I came up the walkway to our college group home Jamie came running out to jump into my arms. I was barely able to put my gifts down before she collided with me.
"God, I've missed you," she said between kisses.
"Jamie, I've been gone three days," I responded. I saw Gina standing somewhat self-consciously at the door. I'd been back in our home town spending time with my Mom.
"Hey, Gina," I called out. "Help me unload the car." She shuffled toward me as I hung onto Jamie. Together the three of us went to the car. The second Christmas present Gina pulled out made her pause. I casually looked her way.
"Yes?" I asked her.
"This has my name on it," she mumbled.
"It's Christmas; you get gifts on Christmas," I grinned. Gina attacked the pile of gifts, her smile growing larger. The three of us finally got everything inside and I sighed when I noticed what Jamie had gotten for a Christmas tree -- a fossilized bush completely devoid of leaves.
At least Jamie had the good sense to look contrite when I cast my baleful gaze upon her.
"Well, let's get the presents open," I announced. Jamie and Gina sat down and attacked their small pile of presents. Gina got one from Mark, Amber, Emily, Jamie, and I and she went hog wild. She danced around the place with her clothes, new cell phone, and pre-paid charge card.
Jamie laughed it up with Gina and they both raced back to their bedrooms to change. Gina had the good sense to come out fully clothed but Jamie tempted fate by coming out in her new hoodie and thong panties. Gina was scandalized, but I noticed her gaze kept slipping Jamie's way. It reminded me of the kiss Gina had shared with Emily a year ago.
"What did you get for Christmas?" Jamie asked.
"Two gorgeous girls to do with as I please," I chortled. Gina gulped and Jamie poked me in the chest.
"Don't worry, Gina. When he talks about his two girls he's referring to his right hand and left hand," Jamie grinned.
"Ouch," I cringed. "I came all this way to see you, Baby."
"You came all this way to sleep alone tonight," she taunted me. Gina giggled. I looked pained which only made Jamie happier.
"Don't you want some hot throbbing sex?" I begged.
"I don't know," Jamie said loftily. "Gina, what are you doing tonight?" Gina choked.
"I ah -- Craig, a little help here?" Gina sputtered.
"I'll hold her down and you tickle her," I conspired. Gina looked uncertain but Jamie knew what was coming and bolted for the bedroom. I raced after her and got her right at the bedroom door. I wrapped her up in my arms and lifted her back to the main room.
"Gina! Help!" Jamie squawked. I fell down on the sofa and Jamie thrashed around trying to get free. Gina hovered over us for a few seconds before a whole new kind of smile came to her face and she leapt on Jamie. Jamie started really kicking and screaming in hysterics while Gina tickled her without mercy.
The three of us fell to the floor and soon Gina was tickling me and Jamie equally. I grabbed Gina in desperation and pulled her to us. Jamie was fighting for breath but managed to get on top of Gina where the tickling was returned with intent. In the end we were all struggling for breath on the floor and lying on our backs.
Jamie rolled onto her stomach and propped herself up on her elbows looking down on Gina.
"You are going to pay for your treachery, young maiden," Jamie panted.
Gina reached up and stroked Jamie's hair.
"Okay," she responded softly.
"How about I go out and get some food?" I suggested.
"I'll go with you," Gina insisted in a nervous manner. We stood up and gathered our coats, and I noticed Jamie's confused expression. Gina had some issues, that was for sure.
Gina sat in silence for most of the trip to the Chinese take-out place. On the way back Gina turned to me, looking very serious.
"You and Jamie are very close, right?" Gina asked.
"Very close. But that doesn't mean the two of you can't be close too," I suggested. That brought Gina up short once more. "What you are feeling is totally natural, Gina. You don't have to worry about Jamie or me judging you," I told her.
"Craig, I like you; I trust you. What am I going to do?" Gina worried. She trusts me? What is wrong with my jock image that makes girls want to trust me and makes me not want to abuse that trust? How less complicated would my life be if I was as total asshole?
"Follow your heart, Gina. Have a little faith in you," I responded.
"What about us, -- you and me?" Gina asked.
"As I've told you earlier, you are beautiful. Mark is my friend and I don't feel there can be an 'us' while the two of you are together. You, Jamie, and Emily are a different matter," I assured her. "Don't worry about me getting jealous; Jamie has always gone her own way and I think Emily likes you."
"She does?" Gina sounded a bit surprised.
"Oh, yeah, trust me on that one. Emily likes you a lot," I told her.
"Amber?" Gina questioned.
"Amber less so, but that has more to do with what she likes than anything personal," I assured her.
"We are not talking about friendship, are we?" Gina asked for clarification.
"Nope," I answered. Gina looked at her hands a long time.
"All of this was going on when we were in high school, wasn't it?" she inquired.
"Yes, it was," I grinned.
"I always thought there was something 'friendly' about Emily and Jamie; they were always so helpful and touchy-feely," she noted.
"Did you like that level of relationship?" I asked. She thought that over for a minute.
"Yes," she replied quietly. "Yes, I did. Do you think Mark will get upset?"
"Are you going to dump him?" I responded.
"No," Gina declared. "Mark is the best thing to ever happen to me."
"Then I think we are okay. The weird thing will be if Mark wants to watch," I informed her.
"That would be -- different," she allowed.
"So, when we get back are you going to want a little alone time with Jamie to talk things out?" I inquired.
"No. I think I've got enough to think about tonight," she smiled happily. The rest of the drive passed with the radio on and a new level of comfort between us.
Life with Jamie is rarely dull or disappointing: case in point, coming home and finding Jamie in a sheer black silk teddy, the thinnest of thongs, and a lacy half-cup bra. She struck a provocative pose at the door right before we came in.
"Hey, Troops," she purred in a perfectly sultry voice.
Gina turned to me and tugged my arm.
"Do you remember what you asked me earlier? Well, I'm changing my answer to yes," she moaned.
"Sorry, Gina, can't talk -- blood rushing out of brain," I mumbled.
Jamie beamed triumphantly.
"You two get inside; it is so cold my nipples are hard enough to cut glass," Jamie shivered.
My hand was half way up to comfort one of those freezing nipples when an idea occurred to me. I took Gina's hand and placed it on one of Jamie's breasts first, then took hold of the other one. Together we forced Jamie back into the house and I kicked the door shut. Gina was already stroking and rubbing the sheer fabric between her fingers and Jamie's flesh.
By the time I safely got the food to the ground Jamie had shifted out of her teddy and was unclasping her bra from the front to give us better access. Gina needed no encouragement but dove straight onto Jamie's nipple, suckling deep and hard. Not to be outdone, I began licking and teasing her other breast. Jamie rolled her head up, moaned intently, and ran her fingers through our hair.
"That's right," Jamie murmured, "keep it up." When I positioned my hand down to Jamie's pubic area I was surprised and amused to find that Gina had beat me there. I quickly worked out a pattern so we could cooperate in pulling Jamie's thong down to pet her pussy. Gina went to town with her fingers and thumb on Jamie's slit while I was left tweaking and pulling on her clit.
"No fair," Jamie panted, "I want -- wanted to -- last longer." Gina and I redoubled our efforts and Jamie began to shake. I quickly dove beneath her legs and opened my mouth to lap up as much of her juices as I could.
"Ah, ah, ah ...-- Gina!" she screamed as I was deluged. I drank and slurped for all I was worth but I was still coated down my chin and chest. Jamie was left putting her hands on my shoulders to support herself.
Gina looked down at me with wide eyes.
"She -- comes a lot," she wondered.
"That's my girl," I grinned as I licked my lips as I stripped out of my shirt.
"Your turn," Jamie growled hungrily, and took hold of Gina's cum-soaked hand then started taking her to the sofa.
Jamie half yanked/ half helped Gina remove her clothing. I was stripping down too, but I had a different goal in mind. Jamie pushed Gina down on the sofa and crawled between her legs. They began kissing hesitantly at first but with more and more energy as Gina embraced the situation. Soon she was pulling Jamie into her and sucking on her neck and earlobe.
Only then did Jamie allow her hand to go below the neckline. First she cupped both breasts and played with them, tweaking the nipples and stroking the areolas while continuing to kiss Gina's lips and chin. Gina shuddered when Jamie's hand flowed along her belly and played with her delicate pubic hair, then began to gyrate on the seat and make little gasping sounds.
