Kate's Story
I stared at the ceiling. All of us sleeping together on a futon had seemed like a great idea in the abstract. Now I was wishing for some privacy.
Jacob and I were in the rec room with Cyndi, like a high school slumber party. It felt a little silly, since we're all nearly 30, but it had been a great evening. Jacob and I met in college and have been together since, and Kate has been our best friend the whole time. The plan was for Jacob to give Cyndi some relief after nearly a year of her unintended abstinence. And he had; I had left them downstairs and her orgasm was audible from the kitchen. But a complication I hadn't considered was how horny it would make me. I had tried to get myself off, but the popcorn was finished too soon. Now she was sleeping beside us and I was the one who needed relief. Jacob and I hadn't discussed anything after I got back with the popcorn, but clearly he had come too, since he was sleeping peacefully on my other side, leaving me stuck in the middle with no way to satisfy myself.
I rolled onto my side and watched Cyndi as she lay on her back, peaceful and lovely in the stark light. Moonlight was streaming through the glass blocks of the high windows, illuminating her in waves. Full moon was on, let's see, the 28th, so, yeah, one day from full. We had picked a good weekend; even the stars were aligned. The moon, anyway.
She looked angelic lying there, round cheeks glowing in the reflected moonlight. I lost myself staring at her long eyelashes and cute nose, the curve of her upper lip, her lips themselves, full and soft and shaped for kissing. Did she kiss Jacob with them earlier? Had she wrapped them around his dick and sucked him? Had he filled her mouth with his cum? I wished I had had time to talk discreetly with him after they had done... whatever they had done. I didn't want to embarrass Cyndi by discussing it in front of her; it was probably enough of a bombshell to know that we were open to sexy times with her. Sex. It was limited, but it was sex. I needed to be honest with myself. Anyway, I didn't know the details of what they had done.
Not that it mattered. She was here, and I was horny. I stared, unsure of what I was feeling. I watched her full breasts rising and falling under the blanket. She's four inches shorter than I am, and adorably rounded. I love my athletic body, but if I were lesbian I'd want to bury myself in her soft curves all night. If I were a lesbian. Which I'm not. I found myself wishing the blanket wasn't hiding her nipples. The way they made their presence known through her thin camisole earlier in the night had been very...
Was I getting turned on by her? My best friend? A woman? I only had sex with boys. Specifically, one boy, for the last however long. Decade? Decade. I didn't even think about women; why was I thinking about her? Our clever plan was turning out to be a can of worms.
Her eyes opened and she turned toward me. "Oh, hi," she said.
"Hi."
"Can't sleep either?"
"Oh, were you awake?" I asked. I was glad she hadn't seen me staring.
She nodded. "Have you been awake the whole time?"
"Yeah. Thinking about things."
"Same," she replied.
"I thought you were asleep. You looked so peaceful," I said.
"I was hoping I could get to sleep by pretending to."
"Fake it till you make it?"
"Yeah, something like that. It hasn't worked yet." She turned toward me. "But that's what slumber parties are for, right?"
I smiled. "Yeah! Since we can't sleep, might as well stay up whispering."
"Sure," she said. "What should we whisper about?"
Straight sex. We can talk about straight sex. She has plenty of stories about that. "Remember that time I walked in on you and, what was his name? Danny? When you were giving him a blowjob?"
She smiled. "Davy. I think."
"You've forgotten his name too?"
"I only saw him once! And you scared him away!"
"Sorry about that. I didn't know you were--"
"I told you it was okay."
"I can't believe he actually left in the middle of a blowjob just cause I saw you. And then didn't want to see you again!"
"Oh, he wanted to see me." she answered. "He called me for like a week afterwards.
I
didn't want to see
him
. He was a jerk. Didn't I tell you?"
"You probably did, I can't remember all your conquests." She stuck her tongue out at me. "Anyway, if he was such a jerk why'd you give him a blowjob?"
"I was hoping once I made him come he'd go away."
"Does that ever work?"
"More often than you'd think. Also I was horny."
"Girl, you're always horny!" I noted. "Especially recently."
"It's been a long year," she sighed. "But you're right, I am." She paused. "Does that bother you?"
"Oh hell no!" I replied. "You're perfect just as you are."
She smiled, then looked thoughtful. "So I've wondered, are you really less horny than me, or do you just not show it as much? Or do you get satisfied better by having Jacob there all the time to satisfy you? That didn't make sense, sorry. I--"
"I get it." I thought a second. "I think I'm probably as, uh, sexually motivated as you. Maybe sometimes more. Like tonight. That's why I can't sleep."
"Cause... really?" She sounded nervous.
"Yeah. After all I'm the only one who hasn't come tonight."
She froze. "What do you mean?"
"You did come, right? When I was upstairs?"
"I... Oh my god, you heard? No, I... I mean..." She was tearing up.
"Cyndi, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry," she said in a shaky voice. "Oh Kate I'm sorry!"
Love and confusion welled in my chest. "Sorry for what?" A sudden realization struck me. "Oh shit. He didn't tell you, did he?"
"Tell... tell me what?" she asked between sobs.
"That this... that we wanted to do that."
She looked at me. "What? No, but I--"
"We wanted to give you some relief. Some, y'know, sexual relief. If you wanted it." I was tearing up. "You thought... Aw shit, we fucked it up, didn't we? Oh Cyndi, I'm so sorry."
"You don't understand," she repeated. "I led him on."
"That was our whole plan though. We'd go where you led. Oh fuck, we should have told you to start with."
She regained some control of her breath. "Cause you know I'm a slut?" she asked, half laughingly.
"No, silly!" I wiped a tear off her cheek. "Cause of your year of sex exile. Your sexile," I added, hoping to lift the mood with some humor. It didn't work. Her tears started again.
"I'm sorry Cyn! What did I say?" I asked.
"You... you two are so perfect for each other and I've messed it all up!" she blubbered. "I
was
leading him on. Petting his leg, touching him. What if you
