"Honestly Steve, I think we've gone beyond this jealousy thing, don't you?" I'm scornfully staring at Kirby's husband to be after he suggested that I couldn't be trusted alone with her on the night before the wedding.
"Yeah, well we all know how things were with you two before."
"You mean, all three of us!" I retort and Steve goes red. "Forget it pal, Kirby is my best friend, I'm her maid-of-honour. You know we haven't screwed around on you. Relax. We're just going to open a bottle of wine, watch a tear-jerking movie and get some sleep. You better get some sleep too, big day tomorrow." The whole time I'm spinning him around and pushing him out the door. I can tell his resistance is playful now.
"Just be there on time!" calls Kirby from the sanctuary of their apartment. Steve is staying overnight at his parents.
"I'll be there snookem, honey bunny, cutsie wootsie…"
"Oh for fuck sake, get the hell out before you turn my stomach!" and I give his ass a tweak as I push him out the door.
Kirby and I set our pasta dinner out on the table, filled our wineglasses up and toasted to her forthcoming marriage. We laughed and joked about our history together. We made promises for the future, to be friends forever.
We finally cleaned off the table, washed the dishes and topped our glasses up. While I set the movie up, Kirby pulled out two wonderful silk negligees and asked my opinion which one she should wear tomorrow night. Kirby has long silky straight blonde hair and I chose the shimmering gold number for her wedding night. Kirby came back wearing the white satin and lace one. She twirled for me, striking various poses, pushing her hair up onto her head. I whistled and applauded until she collapsed beside me on the sofa laughing. I slipped into the bedroom and pulled out my pj's too. I had brought two with me: cotton pant suite and a silk burgundy camisole and panty set. Seeing what Kirby had on, I chose the camisole.
Kirby gave me the same treatment as I danced for her. I jumped onto the sofa on top of her, laughing and giving her a playful kiss.
"So what shall it be? Stepmom or Embrace of the Vampire?" I asked.
Kirby smiled, her lips curling up and taking my breath away.
"Well, let's see. We can sit here, possible with tears in our eyes, or we can get all hot and bothered watching Alyssa? Hmmm, tough touch. Oh hell, go with the slutty bitch!"
Embrace of the vampire is my favourite soft porn movie, not only because it has a touch of gothic horror, not only because Alyssa gets wonderfully naked, but also because it's a story of transition from Miss Goody Two Shoes to whore. I love it.
Our wine was almost gone when Kirby's hand slid along my leg, her nails dragging just a little.
"Shannon…" she whispered, her voice just a little hoarse. Her eyes were pleading, her lips slightly parted. "Will…"
I stopped her speaking with a finger on her pouting lips. "You don't have to ask."
And we came together, softly, slowly, touching, holding, kissing, breath in ear, lips on neck, teeth on shoulder, hands gliding on legs, over silk, across erect nipples.
We are stumbling, fumbling, and becoming more urgent. We are off the couch, dancing across the room, the TV screen ignored. We're through the doorframe, onto the bed; the only clothes left on either one of us was my panty. They disappeared quickly enough. We fought for control, to be in charge.
"Shannon..Shannon, stop…stop."
I stared into her eyes, questioning.
