Chapter 8 - Loss and Gain
My heart pounded in my chest. Tracy had given me fifteen minutes before she returned. Fifteen minutes left before I lost my virginity. To a
woman
.
I paced in my little bedroom, unsure of what to do. After days of sexual frustration, I was about to
finally
get what I had been craving. Even so, I felt scared out of my mind. Ever wish for something so hard that when you finally get it, you feel like you have no choice but to take it? Well, that's kind of how I was feeling.
I felt uncomfortable. Or was it excited? No, nervous. Or was it anticipation? Oh crap, it felt like everything was moving so fast, and yet
what was taking her so long?
Everything in my body seemed to scream for attention at once. My heart was pounding in my chest, and every muscle seemed to be tightened and ready for movement. Every sense was heightened. Was this "fight or flight?" Was this an adrenaline rush?
This is what I wanted. Rather, this is what I
told
her I wanted. Then again, when she had asked me, I had said yes - enthusiastically. Okay, perhaps not in so many words, as she was riding my father's cock at the time, and I was hiding behind a banister at the top of the stairs. Okay, maybe she wasn't riding him
yet
, but -
ohgodohgodohgod
.
Panic lurked behind every thought. I looked around the room, searching for a place to hide. I suppose I could just leave the house, right? I mean, wait. No. Where would I go? I didn't know anything about the place where my father lived. Whenever I visited it was just to the house, really. I never really paid attention when we left the house to go anywhere. I felt remarkably unobservant.
Plus, it was in the middle of the goddamned night.
So, where? Under the bed? I could fit there, I suppose. That bed where Tracy was about to come in and pull me over and lay me down and kiss me and take my nipples in her mouth and oh god where the fuck was she?
I shook my head to get that image out of my head, but when it started to slip away I found myself holding on to it desperately. I saw the closet, and thought that perhaps I could hide in there, but of course that would probably be the first place she would look. She would open the door and see me kneeling there, waiting for her, and she would lift her skirt and show me her pussy and invite me to taste her. I would lean forward, and she would stand there, skirt in her hands, as I leaned in...
I shuddered, but it wasn't clear whether it was because I wanted her to come visit me after my father fell asleep, or because I didn't.
The thought finally hit me about what was about to happen.
I was about to cheat with my father's girlfriend
. What the hell was I thinking? And why was this the first time I had realized this little wrinkle?
More than anything, this little
faux pas
started to sink in. I couldn't do this to my father! Moreover, what kind of person was Tracy for even suggesting it? Seriously, what was wrong with
both
of us? I was never a troublemaker, why would I want to start now? Like this?
I had to made up my mind at that point. Yes, I wanted her, and yes, I wanted to lose my virginity. Yes, I had even had sex dreams about Tracy before even meeting her. But no, I couldn't fuck her, or let her fuck me.
Once I made up my mind, though, I was surprised at just how much my body rejected that notion. My pussy and nipples screamed in protest. It was as if they were tired of only having my hands for companionship. All the confusion seemed to separate into two distinct camps: Team Morality and Team Shutupandfuckme.
None of it mattered, though. Not ethically, anyway. I
couldn't
mess around with my father's girlfriend. It was one of those things that you couldn't return from, couldn't be forgiven. It broke people apart forever, and I didn't want to lose my father from my life.
You two aren't that close in the first place
, I heard a dark voice in the back of my head. Team Shutupandfuckme wasn't going to take this decision without a fight.
Though I would take it lying down!
some twisted part of me tried to joke. Joke or no joke, though, the part that wanted Tracy had a voice in this decision, and it was
primal
.
But I'm not gay
, Team Morality protested.
You are tonight,
Team SUAFM countered.
Team Morality had a point, though. Up until I saw the video and had the sex dream, I had never even thought about women in a sexual way. I'd only fantasized about boys and penises. Maybe I was still straight, and only attracted to Redd? I mean, Tracy?
The debate was about to hit full stride when the door opened.
She stood there, smiling. I don't know what I was expecting. She could have crept in playfully, tiptoeing in like a secret between us that we were about to share. She could have flung the door wide open with a "Ta da!!" Somehow, it wouldn't have surprised me if she had floated in mid-air with rose-petals whipping about her wind-blown hair.
Instead, she simply walked in like she owned the place. Quietly, she closed the door behind her, and then turned to face me. There was no pomp, no circumstance. She was just there with an excited grin on her face. She was dressed in a simple neglige, a very slight pink satin number that matched her darker red hair and lipstick. Dammit, did she always look like she was ready for a model shoot?
I stood stock still, a deer caught in headlights. Or in a wolf's glare. Either way, I couldn't move.
"You know," she said. "When I said to wait for me, I didn't mean that you had to stay exactly where you were!"
I looked down, confused. Then I realized that despite my pacing, I had somehow wound up in the exact same spot as when she left. "I..." I stammered, but didn't know what to say.
Her grin broadened, and she came towards me. I raised my hands to stop her, to hold her at bay. I opened my mouth to tell her that I couldn't do this, that it wasn't right. I couldn't do this to my father. I'd just have to lose my virginity some other way.
My hands touched her rib cage, but instead of pushing her away I felt them betray me and pull her closer. Somehow, Team Shutupandfuckme had coopted my body while Team Morality was stuck arguing inside my head. My mind protested, reeled back in horror as it felt completely detached from anything my body was doing. Everything seemed to be on autopilot, and suddenly my own mouth and lips weren't obeying my control either.
What are you doing?!
Team Morality shrieked.
If you don't know by now,
Team SUAFM sneered,
then watch and learn, dumbass.
She slid through the space between us in less than a heartbeat, and then she crossed the boundary between interpersonal space and private space -
my
space. It was the first time I had another woman's body so close to mine that wasn't platonic or family. Once more, I could smell her perfume, but this time it was freshly applied over a clean smell of body wash and freshly applied makeup.
She took a shower
, I thought.
For me
. I instinctively licked my lips, which she took as encouragement.
I was eye-level with her lips, and I marveled at how shiny and glossy they were.
For me
. Team Morality tried to fight back with one last weak parry.
She showered for you, but you didn't freshen up for her!
It was too late. My chin raised on its own, and I felt my own lips touch hers ever so slightly. They were just separated enough so that they fit together, my upper lips slipping in between her own, our mouths creating an embrace. A whimper escaped me, my arms pulled her tight against me, and Team Morality abandoned me completely.
I'll never forget that moment for as long as I live. It was the first time anyone had ever taken me in their arms as a lover-to-be, and every nerve ending in my body seemed to be hitting the record button. I wanted to remember
everything
. Somewhere in the back of my mind, a perverted sexual editor was already splicing the feed for masturbation material in the future, and we hadn't yet gone beyond the first kiss.
My first kiss
. It wasn't my "first" kiss, of course. In comparison to this, however, it felt like I had never been touched in an intimate way until this very moment. It felt like a completely different level, but I couldn't put words to it. In fact, I couldn't put words to any of this - it was all so new to me.
The satin seemed to slide across her body under my hands - my awkward, shaking hands. I tried not to paw at her, but at the same time I didn't want to
not
touch her all over her body. I felt as if I had no control over any of my limbs any more. I simply didn't know what to do.
I felt as awkward as a marionette on strings, and probably looked about as gracious as well.
