Housemates

Chapter 6. October

"Why didn't you tell me you had sex with Tania?"

Kristie had waited for Billy to get home and immediately went to his room to confront him. Billy was now sporting the deer-in-headlights look popular with discovered cheaters.

"Uh..."

"You're not gonna deny it now, are you?"

"No, but Kristie—"

"Wait," she said, trying to tamp down her annoyance. "It's not what you're probably thinking. It's all right with me that you had sex with her. After what we did with Patrick and Jenna, I'd be a hypocrite to be offended. And you kept it in the house, which is good. I would have preferred to be there with you in some kind of group scene, but whatever."

He began to relax, a little.

"Then what are you upset about?"

"It's that you were hiding it from me, like you'd done something awful that I would dump you for if I found out, and stop being friends with you too. Look, Billy, we've been over this before. We're not going to be jealous about sex we have with our friends. That's all secondary to you and me."

"I know that, but...I guess I still felt like it was wrong somehow."

She softened. It really wasn't his fault that he felt that way.

"Billy, I get that. It's what we were taught growing up and it's hard to break out of that sense of guilt. You might not know it to look at me, but I had some trouble with that too for a while."

"So, I really shouldn't feel that way?"

"Yes, you absolutely shouldn't feel that way if the people around you aren't concerned about who's doing who. That would be going against the grain. Look, we have a different world here in the house. We have two other couples and neither of them is exclusive. They aren't doing jealousy. If we're living here with them and having fun with them, it doesn't make any sense for us to be doing it."

"Well, you put it that way, I guess you're right. I suppose I'm just not as evolved as you are."

"Come on, that's not how evolution works and you know it. Everyone alive today is evolved the same amount; there isn't a goal. Whatever is going on in our heads is our own business."

She made a mental note to get him to work more on Biology with her.

"Okay, okay. Kristie, I'm sorry I hid that from you. I know why that upset you, and I'm sorry. I guess I've been stupid, loving all this freedom, reveling in it, but then guilting myself about it after, and guilting you, too! You're right, it doesn't make any sense."

"Honey, I forgive you. The thing is, you're my man, and if something big happens to you I want to know about it—if it's good, to celebrate it with you, and if it's bad, to help you deal with it."

That brought a tear to his eye.

"You really understand me, don't you," he said.

"I've had a lot of time to figure you out. And you've had the same with me."

"I know. We've shared a lot over the years. And I love you so much."

They embraced.

They released each other and turned away slightly to wipe their eyes, as if they wouldn't be seen.

"So," said Kristie, "Was it good?"

"Honestly? It was great. Tania's a real firecracker."

"Who started it? This isn't a trap—I really want to know."

"She came on to me."

"Wow. That must have really made you feel good."

"Oh, it did! I was just kind of worried about you, and about Gary. But Tania told me about them being open, so I decided it was okay and went along with her."

The mention of Gary reminded her.

"Sweetie, remember everything I just said. To be as open and honest with you as I expected you to be, I need to tell you something."

"Okay."

"I just had sex with Gary."

"When?"

That was all he said, but she saw the struggle in his eyes.

"This morning, while you were gone."

"Was it good?"

"It was fantastic. Billy, something happened to me that I didn't even know existed."

"What was it?"

"I squirted! Do you know what that's about? Do they have that in porn?"

"I saw that once. It could have been fake, though."

"Well, I know it's a real thing, because it happened to me!"

"Wow. So, does that feel really good, then?"

"Imagine the best come you've ever had, and multiply that by three."

"So, pretty good then."

She fake-poked him in the ribs.

"You have no idea. Anyway, I'm going to study up on it. Because I want to do it with you."

"That would be something."

"It'll blow your mind. It blew Gary's."

"I'm looking forward to it," he said.

"So, where should we sleep tonight? Here or my room?"

_______________

Gary and Tania found them in Kristie's room. They hadn't done anything yet, and were at least partially dressed. Billy had faux-satin pajamas on, and Kristie was in a cute nightie, cut low. So it wasn't like Jenna and Patrick barging in on them

in flagrante

.

Kristie opened the door to Gary's polite knock. They were dressed much the same.

"Hi, Kristie," said Gary. "We're not intruding, are we? We'll go away if we are. We just wanted to have a little talk, if you're free. That means Billy too."

"It's kind of an apology," Tania put in.

That raised Kristie's curiosity. She looked at Billy, who nodded.

"Come on in," she said.

Once inside, Gary opened his arms to Kristie, who joined him in a chaste hug. Tania stepped over to Billy and hugged him too.

Gary released Kristie and began.

"We just wanted to say, we might have made a mistake in the way we brought you two into our orbit, so to speak. It felt spontaneous and good at the time, for both of us, but looking back it seems like it might have felt like cheating to you. We know you have experience with Patrick and Jenna, but still...that was in a group setting where you could see each other and give consent. We never intended to do anything that might come between you. We're very sorry if that happened."

There was a moment before Kristie spoke.

"It's okay, Gary. There was kind of a little glitch at first, but we worked it out. Is that fair, honey?"

She looked at Billy.

"Yeah, that's fair," he said. "Understand, we're new to this whole sharing thing."

"So are we, actually," said Tania. "And we want you both to know that we love you and we respect your relationship. We do hope you'll find some time to play with us old folks now and then, but we'll make sure to do it ethically."

Billy laughed, with a little snort at the end.

"Go on with your 'old folks', Tania! By the time we graduate from this place, a year will mean nothing."

Tania laughed. "True. I thought that would get you going," she said.

Gary said, "We'd also like to, if you don't mind, just give you a taste of the way we wish it had gone. Also as kind of an apology, and maybe to erase any bad feelings?"

Billy looked at Kristie. She gave no sign of objection, but neither did she look convinced.

"Well..." he said, but trailed off.

Gary said, "Now, we're not proposing to go too far. We understand that you might have plans with each other tonight, and we would never take that away. So just a taste, and then we'll say good night."

"Well, no harm I guess," said Kristie. "A little warm-up fun, Billy?"

"Sure," he said.

They started with kissing.

Gary brought them standing into a diamond shape, with he and Billy as vertices on the long axis, and Tania and Kristie on the short axis between them. Then he embraced and kissed Tania, and Billy and Kristie took the cue and started kissing each other. Gentle kisses, all sweetness, at first. Presently Tania wiggled free of Gary, leaned in and began to nuzzle Billy's neck. Who first moved they could never remember, but then she was kissing his mouth, leaving Kristie free. Until she turned and found Gary waiting for her, and happily wrapped her arms around his neck.

And so they went, occasionally swapping back and forth in their increasingly heated make-out session. Both young women had their breasts fondled by two pairs of hands, then their erect nipples sucked by two pairs of lips. The young men teamed up on Kristie, Billy at one breast and Gary at the other, their lips and tongues working together to pleasure her. Kristie moaned as their attention to her hard nipples aroused her.

Then they switched off and teamed up on Tania, who was close to coming as Billy and Gary worshipped her tits. Gary pulled up her nightgown and slipped a finger into her, using the next one to stroke her clit. Then she came, shaking and bouncing her sensitive breasts into their eager faces.

Kristie was now demanding equal satisfaction, so they switched back to her and it was Billy who slid his hand up her sweet thighs and stroked her to a gasping climax while he and Gary loved her young breasts.

Tania pushed Gary onto the bed, sitting, and pulled on his pajama bottoms until his cock sprang free. He had a full erection, and Tania went right to work on it, licking its length and sucking its head while stroking his shaft. She motioned to Kristie to join her, and in seconds Gary had two girls licking, sucking, and kissing his throbbing, erect penis.

This was Gary's idea of heaven, and he felt like he could come any second, especially when Tania ran her tongue on a lascivious journey from the very base of his cock, just above his balls, to the very tip, while Kristie's parted lips caressed the upper side of his penis. But he held back, knowing that this was not the time.

Then they moved over to Billy, who was watching the scene wide-eyed. Kristie easily got him to sit on the bed and just as easily got his pajamas down. She quickly slurped down his rock-hard cock, all the way to the base, showing off a bit for the others. Billy gasped with the sensation of his cock head nudging into her throat. He was saved from coming when Kristie pulled back and shared his dick with Tania, who was there and eager to lick and suck his thick penis.

Billy was trembling, on the edge of an orgasm, when Tania broke contact with him and got Kristie to follow her lead.

"I think that's all we should do right now," she said. "Thank you for sharing with us."

And she straightened up and gave Billy a long, tender kiss.

Kristie once more wrapped her arms around Gary's neck.

"Thank you...thank you!" she murmured to Gary before they kissed.

"Have a good night, guys!" Gary said as they left, headed for his room.

It wasn't long before the sounds of sex carried back and forth across the first floor, continuing late into the night.

_______________

Apart from Gary's monthly visit to drop off the rent, the Manor residents seldom saw anything of Denny. He didn't intrude into their day-to-day lives, and that was fine with everyone. If there were some major malfunction of the house, they hoped he could be counted on to handle it, having already heard some landlord horror stories from other independent-living students, but so far the old mansion had held together.

So when Denny asked Gary to stay a minute and talk after his rent delivery was done, it caused him a bit of apprehension.

"Okay, what's up, Denny?" he said.

"I've got a noise complaint from the house next door."

"Which one?" Gary asked.

Denny just pointed to the south.

"Oh, the frat. Figures. So, what are they complaining about?"

"Uh, some very...vigorous...human noises, at all hours. I'll tell you the truth, Gary, I've heard some of that myself, down here. Tell me, are you guys having sex up there?"

"I'm sure there's a certain amount of that going on," Gary grinned, with a manner that always seemed to disarm the authority figure. "I know I mentioned before we moved in that Tania is my girlfriend. Since then the other folks have paired up as well. Love is in the air, I guess."

"Well, you're going to have to tone it down. The guy from next door said they can't study, it's so distracting."

"They study?"

Denny wasn't having Gary's bit of snark.

"Yeah, a lot of them do. They're not all fuckups over there. How is

your

studying going, by the way? Doesn't sound like you all have a lot of time for it."

"Hmm...point taken, man. You know how new relationships can be consuming. Tell you what—I'll spread the word that we should cool it for a while. Midterms are coming up, and people are going to need to apply themselves anyway."

"Appreciate it, Gary. I'm not trying to be a hardass about it. I can just see the tabloid headline if this should get out—'College Sex Cult Exposed'."

Gary wondered if Denny knew more than he had admitted to.

_______________

Gary called the Thursday house meeting to order, if his just saying "Okay, let's get started" could be so interpreted. The tuna casserole that Tania and he had prepared had gone over extremely well, and he hoped it would serve to smooth the waters for what he had to report.

"First of all, I'd like to say, we have a great thing going on here at Meredith Manor!"

A cheer went up among the other five as they realized what he was talking about. Everyone knew, of course, but this was the first time it had been openly referred to with the whole group present.

"I'll second that!" Patrick yelled over the general din.

"I'm sure I can speak for all the women:" said Tania, "We love you!"

That could have been directed at Gary, but really it was for all three men.

"We love you too, Tania!" called Billy. "And Jenna, and Kristie!"

He put his arm around Kristie, who was seated next to him, and pulled her in for a kiss. This started a trend, and it was most of a minute before order was restored.

"Okay," said Gary, releasing Tania from the clinch in which they had been. "I'm happy to report that there is unanimous consent on this issue. However, there's a problem.

"I spoke with Denny yesterday when I went to give him the rent. It seems that our joyful ruckus has been overheard next door, at the frat. One of their guys actually complained to Denny about it."

"What?!" Patrick broke in. "That's ridiculous! They fuck a lot over there too. They just do it during parties when they're all drunk and making a lot of noise anyway."

"That's kind of the thing," said Gary. "We haven't always been waiting for the weekend to get it on, so we were noticeable. Also, Denny said he's heard things himself. He wasn't specific, but I checked it out, and this here table—" and he smacked it with his palm for emphasis, "This table is directly above his bedroom. I'll bet that he could hear it shifting around, and once his attention was drawn it's possible that he could make out multiple voices."

"That wouldn't be good," said Jenna. "I don't think we're doing anything wrong, but we all know how cruel people can be when they find someone who doesn't conform."

"I told him we were three couples. That seemed to satisfy him, but from the way he was talking I think he suspects more. So I told him I would pass this along.

"Now, I'm not telling you to do anything. I'm not your boss. But I will suggest that it would be a good idea to keep the noise level down for now. That doesn't mean 'don't do anything', but try not to make it obvious. Do we all understand?"

Nods, waves of hands, and spoken "yeah"s around the room.

"Okay. Anyway, midterms are coming up, and I'm sure we all need to dial back the debauchery and spend more time with the books. We're going to ace those things, am I right?"

Another cheer went up, this one not quite as enthusiastic.

"And here's something to look forward to. Two weeks from tomorrow, midterms are done and it's the weekend. Everyone around here will be partying. If I know Denny, he'll have a date or something else to do that will take him away from all the racket. I propose that we have a party of our own, all six of us. We won't have anything to worry about then."

"Awesome," cried Kristie. Her tryst with Gary and the foursome with him and Tania had completed her rapid journey from innocent freshman to sex maniac. She was ready for anything.

The others quickly agreed, and Gary moved to adjourn.

_______________

Kristie was so ready for anything that she had to reconsider her attitude toward porn. She had always felt it not nice, or even rude, to watch other people have sex. But who was she kidding now? She had barely been here for a week when she had found herself a voyeur at Gary and Tania's sex session. Then she and Billy had been in the same room with Patrick and Jenna, and even swapped with them! All this had done nothing but excite her.

And of course she had to know that the actors in porn were performing with the intention of having people watch them and become aroused. They wanted people to watch them! It was their livelihood!

So one night a few days later, after their study date was finished, she asked Billy to show her some.

Billy hemmed and hawed at first.

"Are you sure, hon? You've always been clear about being against it. I would never show you anything you wouldn't want to watch."

"Maybe I've changed my mind. I've done everything else, I might as well. How bad could it be?"

"Well, there's some gross stuff out there. I wouldn't show you any of that. But there's some pretty nice stuff too."

"Okay, show me something nice, then."

Billy opened a private browser window and clicked on a bookmark that went to a popular porn site that had lots of free content. He clicked through a few links until the page contained thumbnails from the subgenre that could be described as "passionate lovemaking between beautiful young people". He hovered over a few of the thumbnails, letting Kristie see tiny previews of some of the action.

"Okay, play that one," she said, and Billy clicked it and then hit the button for full screen.

It could have been them.

She had blonde hair to her shoulders and a slim figure clothed in something thin and stretchy on top and short pants of the same kind of fabric. He had bushy dark hair and intense blue eyes, and was dressed only in a pair of jeans. They lay together on a vast white expanse of bed before a picture window that looked out on a flower garden.

The title cards that appeared over the scene announced that they were Mia and Jason, in "Flawless Love".

They were kissing, the kind of porn kissing where lord and lady sort of nibble each other's lips, once in a while looking like they're going in for a real deep kiss only to end by just bumping mouths. But if you squinted just a bit you could pretend they were really kissing. Kristie did so, and started to get aroused. Well, why not? She had enjoyed love scenes in Hollywood movies in the same way. Maybe this would get better.

"Gawd, we're better at kissing than they are," she said to Billy.

"I know. It's what they do in these. I don't know why."

Jason now pushed Mia's top up, revealing her small, pert breasts, almost a match for Kristie's. He began kissing and lightly sucking at her brown nipples, causing them to become erect as her breathing quickened, with a little hitch that showed her arousal. She arched her chest up, pressing her tit harder against his mouth.

Now

this

was better. Kristie was braless, and her own nipples were becoming alive as they brushed against her t-shirt. Billy was moved to slip a hand up her shirt and cup her breast, tweaking her now hard nipple between thumb and forefinger.

"Oh, Billy!" she breathed.

She now understood why couples might watch something like this to get into the mood. She was starting to get wet, and it seemed that they were on the way to a good conclusion of their evening.

Jason spent another minute loving Mia's breasts, by the end of which Billy had Kristie's shirt pulled up and off and was eagerly loving hers, while she ran her fingers through his hair. Then the scene dissolved in a time jump, and the next thing they saw was Jason on his back, jeans off, with his erect penis standing up proudly. Mia held it at the base while she licked and kissed its head, then took about half the length into her mouth. Of course he had a big one, and the high-definition video captured it perfectly, in every detail.
