Close Friends Book 1 Part 04

March 1980

"Ha!" Lois exclaimed as she reached over and pulled the small pile of cards towards her. "I win!"

Mick wailed theatrically as he rolled onto his back from his seated position, cross-legged on the floor.

"Ah, don't be a sore loser," Demi chided him as she pushed him over onto his side. "She always wins. You know that. It doesn't matter if we're mini-golfing, or playing War."

"Who wants to play again," Lois challenged the group seated around her on the floor. She looked around as she gathered up the cards, but no one rose to her challenge.

"Nah," Bob said. "Let's do something else."

"Like what?" Gus asked, as he drained the last of the wine from his small plastic cup. Looking over, he picked up the bottle and poured. He shook it, but nothing came out.

He sighed and put it down in front of him. As he let go, he spun it around. It twirled on its side, stopping at Lois.

She looked up at him, grinning. "Spin the bottle, huh? Do I get a kiss?" she asked coquettishly.

"You bet!" Gus said, leaning over the bottle and pulling her to him. He kissed her deeply, their tongues dueling, until Demi made a retching sound.

"Gross, guys!" she complained, but the laughter in her voice gave her away.

Sitting up with renewed interest, Mick took the bottle in his hand and thought. He looked around the group, one eye arched. He gently shook the neck of the bottle as it pointed to each person.

"Okay, we're gonna play a game. Anyone wanna guess what it is?" He asked mischievously.

Demi bounced up and down as she sat and actually raised her hand in her excitement. "Oh! Oh! Spin the bottle!"

Mick's eyes twinkled as he grinned at her. "Hat's off to the sexy blonde! That's right. Good, old-fashioned, spin the bottle."

"How, exactly, do you play that?" Sam asked, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Well," Mick started, assuming his lecturing tone. "Spin the bottle is simple, really. Whoever is 'it', spins the bottle." He shrugged. "Whoever it points to when it stops gets a kiss."

"What if it points to a guy?" Bob asked.

"You gotta kiss him anyways," Lois smirked, getting laughs.

"Oh, hell, no!" Bob laughed back. "How about, whoever is closest that's the opposite sex is the one getting the kiss?"

"Why do I feel that you just want to kiss all the girls?" Sam asked Mick, her head down and tilted slightly as she peered at him through some strands of her long, dark hair that had fallen in front of her face. She wore a half grin.

Mick shrugged, grinning back at his voluptuous girlfriend. Her large, round breasts moved under her thin shirt as she breathed. The two well-formed, hard nipples trying to poke a hole through the fabric made it clear she'd left her bra at home. Even the slight bumps surrounding her areola pushed back at her shirt.

"Maybe, but in this game, if we do it right, everyone gets to kiss everyone else." He looked around the group, his eyebrows raised. "Sound like fun to you guys?"

"Oh, yeah," Lois agreed eagerly, nodding. Demi sniggered as she looked at her.

"Just look out for her hands," Demi called out, pointing at Lois. "They go everywhere. You should see her in bed!"

Lois' face went red. "Demi!" she hissed, trying, and failing, to hide a grin.

Gus laughed hard. "It's true," he said, wiping an eye. "Just the other day, we were..." He halted, his face turning as red as Lois' as he looked down at his lap.

"You were what? Come on, tell us!" Sam asked, leaning forward and looking at Gus keenly, then to Demi on his left, then Lois on his right. "What happened?"

Demi chortled. "There's only one way you're gonna find out."

Samantha scrunched her brows. "How?"

"Join us," Demi said, an angelic smile on her face. "Then you'll see what I'm talking about."

Sam rocked back, her boobs bouncing gently. She exhaled, a sound like slowly escaping steam.

Mick laughed and watched his girlfriend as she seemed to consider Demi's offer. "Hey," he said, placing a hand on her thigh and grinned. "Don't forget about me."

Sam looked over at him, unblinking for a moment. Her eyes seemed to snap back to focus, and she blushed. "Yeah," was all she said.

"Okay, I think we're ready," Bob proclaimed. Heads nodded, and they rearranged themselves so they were boy-girl.

"Ladies first," Mick said as he handed the bottle to his girlfriend. Sam took it and spun it in the middle of the circle of friends. It spun a few times, then ended up pointing closest to Gus.

"Woo hoo!" Cheered Demi. "Go get her, tiger! You've been waiting for this."

Gus gave his girlfriend a sideways glance, then got on his knees and smiled at Samantha. He scooted over to her, pushing the bottle out of the way as he approached her. She beamed at him as she got up on her knees.

"Hi," he said as he came forward, their knees almost touching. She grinned wider, then reached up and put both her hands on either side of his head. Gently pulling him closer, she tilted her head, and they closed their eyes as their lips met.

His hands rested on her hips as they held the kiss for a moment, then another. Slowly, his hands moved up and behind her, wrapping around her and pulling her to him.

Her tits pressed against his chest, and Gus sighed into the kiss as their bodies melded against the other. His heart sped up, and he felt his cock growing in his shorts. On an impulse, one hand slid down and back, sliding over her plump, sweet ass. His fingers dug into her cheek, pulling her to him.

Sam' breath hitched, and she pressed her lips harder to his. After one more heartbeat, she released him and sat back.

"That wasn't much of a kiss!" Mick complained.

"Yeah," Demi agreed quickly. "Like, that was for a couple of seconds. What the heck?"

Gus smiled at Sam as she giggled. He leaned forward, pecked her lips, then moved back to his spot between his girls and sat, a contented smile on his face.

"Our first kiss," he said to Samantha as they looked at each other. Both Lois and Demi's heads turned sharply to look at him, seated between them.

"Hey!" Demi squawked.

"What?" Lois exclaimed at the same moment.

Gus smiled and looked at Lois, then at Demi. "It's true," he said.

"Hmm," Lois said, frowning.

Gus looked at her. "What? You'll get a turn," he said.

"That's right, buster! Don't you forget it when the time comes," she said sternly, then ruined the effect by giggling. Gus leaned over and pulled her to him, kissing her hard before releasing her.

A throat clearing on his other side caused Gus to turn and repeat the gesture, kissing Demi deeply.

"Better," Demi said simply. Lois nodded, and the game continued.

The bottle spun more times. At one point, Bob's spin ended up on Lois. He wiggled his bushy brows and beckoned her with a curled fingertip.

"Come to poppa bear," he said in his deep voice. Lois' eyebrows rose, and she grinned wickedly as she sidled across the space between them.

As she got right up to him, both of them on their knees, he wrapped her up in his arms and pulled her close. She put her arms around him as they kissed, their heads moving against the other.

After several seconds of silence, they broke their kiss. Both were breathing heavily, chests heaving. Lois' large boobs were doing interesting things under her tank top, and Bob did not hide his interest as she backed away.

"Our first kiss," Bob said, smiling warmly at her. Lois grinned, and nodded, then looked over at Gus.

"See?" he asked. She smiled at him, nodding. "We're all friends here. It's safe," he said, looking around.

Heads nodded.

"Okay," Lois said quickly, reaching for the bottle. "We're all good. Now, let's get down to some serious snogging!" She spun the bottle hard, and it wobbled, but eventually came to a stop at Mick.

"Alright," Mick called out before they could begin. "From now on, you have to stand when kissing," he said authoritatively.

Mick stood, taking a step into the circle. Lois did the same. She was almost a foot shorter than Mick and craned her neck to look up at him. He grinned down at her.

They wrapped their arms around the other as she stood up on tiptoes. He leaned down and their lips met. They held the kiss for several seconds before Gus thought he heard a soft moan.

She was standing with her back to Gus, and noticed her subtle torso movements. Gus could clearly imagine what Mick was feeling as most nights those same beautiful, full boobs pressed against his chest, too.

Gus grinned, enjoying the sight, and was glad that at least they were bare when she rubbed them on him. He looked over at Demi and she winked, grinning.

After several more seconds, they came apart, slowly releasing the other. With a sigh, Lois backed away and sat down hard. Gus playfully reached over and nudged her. Demi did the same on the other side.

"Hey," Lois protested quietly, smiling with a bit of red on her cheeks.

"It's okay, I know what it's like," Demi told her, wiggling her eyebrows at her. "He's a wonderful kisser."

The bottle spun a few more times, and then it was Bob and Demi's turn.

They met in the middle of the circle. Bob swept her up in his arms, getting a satisfying 'woof' from her as he pulled her close. She reached her head up and jammed her lips to him.

Hands started moving, flowing along each other's backs, fingers pressing into skin. Demi pushed her hips to his and moved sideways a little. A few moments before they broke the kiss, his hands reached down and cupped her butt.

Demi giggled girlishly and skipped back, plunking down between Gus and Mick. Bob sat back, a prominent bulge pushing up in his shorts.

Sam looked over at him, then down. She gasped, putting her hand to her mouth, then giggled. Bob looked down and raised his brows high. He grinned at Sam, then over at Demi.

"See what you did?" Bob asked Demi, who grinned widely at him.

The bottle spun a few more times. Sam's spin pointed straight at Bob.

"You dog!" Mick complained.

Samantha and Bob met in the circle, and they embraced. He was a few inches shorter than Mick and Gus, so he had no trouble pulling Sam to him and kissing her.

Her hands moved across his back, then made their way quickly down to his butt, cupping it and pressing her fingers into it. He chuckled as they kissed, his open eyes looking into hers. She couldn't help but grin a little as their lips remained pressed to the other.

Bob moved his hands up her back, then down again to her shapely ass, groping her. He kneaded her soft cheeks, and just before they broke the kiss, he pulled, momentarily lifting off the ground. She squeaked, then he let her go, dropping her about an inch back to the floor with a huff.

Grinning, Sam swatted his arm as she turned. "He dropped me!" she complained to Mick, pointing over her shoulder at Bob.

"I think you're lucky that's all he did to you," Mick said, smiling at her as she sat down next to him.

It was getting late when Mick announced, "Okay, one more spin. Go for it, Gus."

Gus reached over and spun the bottle. It rotated, ending up between himself and Demi. He wiggled his eyebrows at her.

The smoldering look she gave him told him he was in for it. They stood simultaneously and Demi launched herself at him, causing him to back up a couple of steps. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips to his.

Their momentum caused Gus to take one step further back, his calves pressing into the side of the waterbed, making him fall back as Demi's weight landed on him. She brought up her knees on either side of him, effectively straddling him.

They kissed for several moments, then Sam giggled when Demi ground her hips forward and back along Gus' crotch. Everyone could hear her moans.

Gus' hands moved down her back, ending up curled around her butt cheeks, pulling her to him. They writhed together for a while on the bed as the group became fidgety. After a minute or two of them moaning on the bed, it was clear they'd lost track of the game.

"Oh, come on," Lois sighed, grinning around at the others.

"I'm gonna throw some water on them," Mick said, laughing.

"Hey!" Sam called out. Neither Gus nor Demi broke their embrace. She got up, laughed and went over to the bed. With a wind up, she slapped Demi right on her butt in between Gus' hands.

Demi's head popped up as she looked behind her. Gus lifted his head and peered around his girlfriend.

"Hey! What did you do that for?" Demi asked, breathing hard.

"There are others here. You know that, right?" Sam asked, grinning at her. Demi looked around, as if just realizing that fact, and remembering that they were playing a game.

"Oh," she said. She turned and looked at Gus as he squeezed her butt one more time before releasing her.

"We'll continue this later," he said and leaned up to kiss her. She bent over and pressed herself to him again. They remained kissing until Sam smacked Demi's butt again.

With a squeal, Demi rolled off Gus and sat up. "Okay, okay!"

"I can't take you two anywhere," Lois said, shaking her head. Gus got up and knelt behind her. He wrapped an arm around her, then pulled her over and onto her back, kissing her deeply as a hand moved over her tit.

After he released her, Lois huffed, then sat up and straightened her hair and shirt.

"Well, that was fun!" Mick said cheerfully. "You ladies sure know how to show a guy a good time. Maybe next time we should play strip poker."

He was grateful that the cups the girls threw at him were plastic.

April 1980

"Oh, wow! This is amazing!" Gus stood at the railing, gazing at the view before him.

The others walked over and stood, awed by the breathtaking vista. The house was built into the side of a forested hill with the back deck looking over a valley facing the Bay Area. Between two hills in the distance, they could make out the buildings of Mountain View in the distance.

A hawk cried overhead and the wind rustled the tall cypress trees on either side of the deck. Tall redwoods towered over the other trees in the rolling hills all around them.

"Holy crap," Mick said as he turned and looked at the rear of the house. It was mostly glass, with a steeply peaked roof creating a triangle of windows. Inside, the spacious living room had an enormous stone fireplace along the right wall.

Demi and Lois were inside, unpacking the food they'd brought with them. Demi's aunt had asked her if she'd like to bring her friends over to spend the night. She was away overnight, and after her conversation a couple of months ago when she and Lois had visited, thought it would be fun for her and her friends.

Bob walked towards them, passing under the hanging lights crisscrossing the broad redwood deck and looked at the large hot tub.

"Take a look at this thing. It's like a small pool."

Sam joined him, kneeling and lifting the top up, swinging it over to fold onto the other half. Steam wafted up, filling the area with the pungent, damp chlorine smell. The gentle breeze blew it away. She reached in, swirling her hand around.

She grinned up at Bob. "It's perfect! I can't wait to get in."

His eyebrows rose and he grinned, his eyes traveling over her cute ass as she kneeled next to him. She caught his look and blushed.

"What are you thinking?"

He chuckled in his low rumble. "Just thinking thoughts. Maybe I'll show you one day." He winked at her as the others came over. Lois and Demi had come out and joined them.

Demi looked at them. "You like it? We were thinking of you guys when Lois and I were here a while back."

"This is gorgeous," Sam said as she stood.

Demi smiled and turned to the guys. "I was thinking the men could get the grill going and cook the meat. Us girls can get the other stuff ready and then we can eat. It'll be twilight by then and the view is amazing."

Heads nodded, and Sam closed the top. The girls went inside as Gus filled and lit the BBQ built into a small island near the side of the deck.

"Man, this is some place," Bob said as the three guys stood by the grill.

"Yeah, Lois told me it was gorgeous," Gus said as he poked at the charcoal.

Mick walked over to the side of the house, following the cord to the overhead lights, and plugged them into an outdoor socket. The strands of dim lights suspended overhead gave the deck a party atmosphere.

Once the hamburgers and hot dogs were cooked, the girls brought out the rest of the food and put it on the long table near the door, covered by an awning. They ate and laughed as the sun set behind the house, casting long shadows over the hills in front of them.

"I wish we had some drinks," Bob said.

Demi pointed toward the other side of the sliding door. "My aunt said she left us some beers and wine coolers in an ice chest if we promised to stay here and not drive tonight."

The guys looked and spotted the chest. Mick got up, opened it and whistled. He brought back something for everyone.

"Man, I'd love to have a place like this one day," Mick said as he sat and looked around.

"You'd have to get a really well paying job to afford this," Gus said.

"My dad's in finance. He and I've been talking about me doing that after college. He tells me things about investing and stocks and stuff. It's pretty interesting."

"We'll have to get you to handle our money," Lois said.

"Yeah, whenever we get any," Gus said, laughing.

It was almost dark when the last of the dishes were put away. Mick and Bob removed the hot tub cover and got towels as Gus cleaned the grill. Someone inside turned on the stereo, filling the area with soft music playing through hidden speakers placed around the large deck.

"Come on, let's get changed." The guys went in and returned a few minutes later in their trunks.

The girls went inside, then came out with Demi in a red bikini and Lois in a black one. Sam wore a shapely blue one-piece that was cut high on the hips and accentuated her large, swaying boobs.

"Damn," Mick muttered as he turned to see them coming through the sliding door.

Gus stood next to him, nodding, a gleam in his eyes. "Those are three sexy ladies."

Bob's laugh was a low rumble. "Damn straight."

Demi sauntered over to Bob, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Dance with me." She swayed to the music, pulling him to her. He moved his body with hers, twirling around.

Gus stepped up to Lois. "May I have this dance?" She smiled up at him, flowing into his arms. They kissed, then moved around to the music. Mick and Samantha joined them as the soft, slow music flowed across the deck, mixing with the sounds of nature from the nearby forest.

At various times, they changed partners, chatting and dancing slowly. Dressed only in their swimsuits, it differed from their time at the club. Now, they wore little, almost nude and pressing against each other, only scant cloth separating their more sensitive parts.

Hands wandered, eventually moving down warm backs and cupping butts. Gus was holding Sam close as she ground herself against him.

"You're having a good time?" she asked, the low lights glinting in her eyes.

Gus blushed. "Sorry, not something I can control."

She giggled softly and looked into his green eyes. "No need to apologize. It's a compliment."

"Sam, you are so sexy," he said in a low voice. "There's no way I couldn't be like this holding you so close."

She smiled up at him, then kissed him lightly on the lips as her hands ran through his dark brown hair. "It's not so obvious how you make me feel."

His eyebrows rose as he looked at her. She grinned and ground against his stiff cock. "If we were alone, I might show you."

He chuckled. "Be careful, I might just get you alone one day and make you."

Wiggling her eyebrows, she smiled. "Then we'll just have to see, won't we?"

He laughed and looked over at Mick and Demi dancing. Nearby, Lois was wrapped up in Bob's arms, their bodies pressed as tightly together as he was to Sam.
