Beth turned in my arms, losing her view but still able to catch the girls' voices. Her fingers tugged at the hem of her t-shirt, pulling it over her head, then she unfastened her bra, starting to make an untidy pile of clothes on the landing. Jeans next, panties going with them, then she deliberately took my fingers, pressing them between her thighs. "Ohh," she moaned softly, and I blinked in alarm. "Shh," I cautioned in a whisper, and she nodded, smiled.
"I know what I'd like," Pippa began. "I'd be lying there, my eyes closed, and all I'd feel is tongues, on my nipples, and down there, and every so often someone kisses me, then goes back to where they were - or do they switch with someone, I can't tell, it just feels amazing."
"What about those fingers?" prompted Ann.
"Mm, inside me -"
Beth gasped again as I slid two fingers into her, bent to use my mouth on her breasts. "Only one tongue for now, sorry," I teased, and she tangled her fingers in my hair, pulling my mouth hard against her.
Ann's fingertips between Pippa's thighs were starting to move slowly, teasingly, her other hand caressing a breast, a nipple, and Beth closed her eyes, breathing in. "See if you can make me come just when she does."
No voices now from the bedroom, just the girls breathing, Pippa's starting to sound a little ragged, catching in her throat as Ann touched her more insistently. I moved my fingers inside Beth, then - another stifled moan - brushed the pad of my thumb across her nub. "Oh, like that," she begged.
My tongue circled her nipple, brushed across the tip, then I suckled softly before moving to the other breast. I could feel Beth getting wetter, her muscles beginning to tense, as Pippa started to gasp, flexing her hips against Ann's hand. "Oh - oh god - mm -"
Pippa cried out, Ann's face a picture of satisfaction as her lover shuddered in ecstasy in her arms, and simultaneously I felt Beth shiver with pleasure, tightening on my fingers, her hand over her mouth. "Ahhh..."
Finally Beth relaxed, chest rising and falling, and I wrapped my arms around her. "Mm," she breathed, "do you think you could manage to be quiet if you came too?"
"We'll have to see," I chuckled. In the bedroom, Pippa had turned in Ann's arms, and the two were kissing, surely as a prelude to whatever satisfaction Pippa had imagined for her lover in return. But my attention was taken by Beth, fumbling with my belt, my zip, tugging down my jeans, freeing my hardness. She turned her back to me again, putting her hands on the bare boards, feet apart, an obvious invitation, and I didn't hesitate, sliding into her, starting to move. "Don't hold back," I heard her whisper, and I let everything I'd just heard, seen, touched, take me towards my inevitable release. "Oh - yes - Beth -" my mouth was close to her ear, and she shivered again as I blew softly, then "Ohhh..." as I tipped over the edge. "Mmm," she murmured.
All too soon I softened, slipped from her, and she wrapped her arms around me, kissed me softly. "Mm - if that's what happens when it's just fantasy, imagine how it'll be for real..."

Beth and I spent the next day on preparations for uni - "I know it's Friday," Beth acknowledged, "but if we get it sorted now, we don't have to worry at the weekend, we can just go with whatever happens."
I knew exactly what she had in mind for 'whatever', and I leaned over to kiss her. "I like your plan."
We'd arranged that the girls would come up to our flat at seven; the takeaway was already ordered, and Beth and I shared a shower before she started to get ready. "Now," she mused, "underwear first - what do you think, Tim?"
"I like your lacy stuff," I ventured. "But I think, if things are going to go the way we hope, something simple? That peach bra, and the panties that match?"
Beth nodded. "Perfect."
I watched as she slipped on the panties, deftly fastened her bra, then put on the silk dress she'd chosen, letting it fall into place and smoothing the fabric over her stomach. "Now for my makeup."
She sat in front of the mirror, carefully applying a touch of mascara, then outlining her lips with a pencil and finishing with lip gloss in a rich red shade. "How's that?"
"Amazing," I nodded. "I better not smudge it, though, had I."
It was nearly seven, and I made sure the fire was well alight, then quickly pulled on smart trousers and shirt. Beth nodded approvingly. "You'll do."
A tap on the door, and Beth went to open it. "Wow, you two look gorgeous."
Silk was definitely the order of the day, Pippa's red dress showing off her figure to advantage while Ann was elegant in deep blue. "You too," Pippa smiled.
"Come on in," Beth invited. "Tim'll go down to get the food when it arrives - what can I get you to drink?"
There was the sound of a knock from downstairs, and I grinned. "That's my cue."
When I got back with the cardboard box - extra prawn crackers, too - the three girls were settled comfortably in one sofa. "Hmm," I puzzled, "where shall I sit?"
Beth chuckled. "Oh, I think we'll find somewhere you can fit in."
I made sure everyone had what they'd ordered, glasses were topped up, then I perched on the edge of the other sofa to eat. "Wow, even better than last time," Pippa managed round her mouthful.
She extracted a tiny spring roll from its paper bag, offering it to Ann. "Mm," nodded Ann, taking it from Pippa's fingers with her lips, "tasty."
Pippa offered one to Beth, who followed suit, throwing me a smile. "Want some, Tim?"
"In a while," I flashed my eyebrows at her.
Finally all that was left was a litter of cartons, and Beth got up from her seat. "Let me tidy up a little - how about you two make room for Tim so he doesn't feel left out."
Ann and Pippa shifted on the sofa, making a gap between them, and I moved to join them. I stretched my arms along the back of the sofa, and without hesitating, Pippa reached for my fingers, drawing my hand down to rest on her bare shoulder. "Might as well be comfortable," she smiled, "we're all friends here, right, Beth?"
Beth paused in her tidying to return Pippa's smile. "Absolutely."
So my arms around both girls' shoulders, and they leaned against me, obviously relaxed. Beth dropped the last carton into the cardboard box, and returned to the sofa, curling her legs under her next to Ann.
"You have gorgeous feet, Beth," Ann ventured, reaching out to stroke with a fingertip.
Beth looked a little bemused. "I'd always thought of them as a bit, well, awkward, to be honest."
Ann shook her head. "Oh, not at all."
I watched fascinated as she moved from the sofa to her knees in front of Beth, fingers caressing each of Beth's feet in turn, then a questioning glance answered with a nod, Ann's lips softly touching skin. "Mm," murmured Beth, "actually that feels really nice."
