Premarital Conditions 05

Teresa, Jon, Katherine, and Chris ate dinner together that night, and Chris couldn't stop staring at the rest of his family. He had avoided being around the house much since the previous week, when so much was revealed to him about what they were all up to when Michael came to visit. It turned him on, but it also freaked him out, and now he didn't know what to do. Whereas he had always seen his mum and his sister as simple family members, he was now very aware of them as sexual beings. At the same time, he didn't want to let his mind go too far down that road for, well... reasons.

He finally spoke up. 'Mum, dad, what the hell is going on around here?'

Jon answered first. 'What are you talking about Chris? What do you mean?'

'I mean Kat having sex with your business associate in our living room while you watched. I mean her being engaged to Tom, but you and mum encouraging her to do things with other men...' Chris said, before getting cut off.

'Other people, Chris. Other people,' Teresa said.

'What the fuck?!? You mean you are encouraging Katherine to do sexual stuff with more than one man?' Chris demanded.

'Well, I suppose people is a plural form of man, but I mean not just men,' his mum said.

'WHAT? Are you bi, Katherine?' he said, turning to his sister. But Teresa cut in again.

'Katherine doesn't know if she's gay, straight, or bi, Chris. That's what this is all about. She got engaged to Thomas, which your dad and I think is too early, so we're just trying to get her to spread her wings a bit before getting tied down. We're doing her a service. Because if she still decides after all this to marry Thomas, then she'll at least be doing so knowingly.'

'So my sister is supposed to go out with a bunch of different people, of both sexes, so she can decide if she really wants to marry Tom?' Chris said.

'Simply put? Yes.' His mother answered. 'And since it's out in the open in this family now, I might as well tell you what your next task is, Katherine.'

'Oh, mum. I just got home from one of your dates. Do we have to talk about it now?' Katherine said, pleadingly.

'Yes, Katherine, because this one is going to take some time. We might as well get you started.'

'I've got to hear this,' Chris said, still combative, but simultaneously excited by the chance to hear details of what his sister was expected to do.

Jon looked on as his wife proceeded to tell their daughter what she had dreamed up this time. He let Teresa do it in both their names, but other than thinking in principle that it was a good idea for Katherine to have more experience, and guiltily feeling excited at the prospect of her getting into different sexual situations, he didn't really have any input into the ideas that Teresa was coming up with.

She began.

'Katherine, I want you to choose someone in your dance class to seduce.'

'What? They're all girls,' Katherine cried, her eyes wide with incredulity. 'I can't do that! Despite what I did with Monica...'

'Wait, what? You did something with Monica?' Chris said. 'Mum's friend Monica?' He couldn't believe it.

'Not now, Chris,' said Teresa. 'Yes Katherine. You can. It is important that you learn what you are capable of, and that includes both seduction, and sharing pleasure with other women. So I want you to seduce one of the girls in your dance class, and have at least one date with them.'

'But I don't even know if any of them are inclined that way. And even if I was able to find a girl in my class that is, and she agreed to go out with me, what do I do afterward? Just drop them after one date?'

'What you do afterward is up to you. But as for not knowing if any of your classmates are inclined that way, it is something you will have to figure out. I would say that any girl can be inclined that way with enough incentive,' Teresa said.

'Oh my god,' Katherine responded. 'This started badly, and it's getting worse.'

'Well, once you do it and we have had a talk about it, I promise you: that will be it,' her mother finished.

I didn't end up speaking with Katherine at all that weekend, and I was deeply disappointed not to have even met up with her for lunch at university on Monday. At least she sent me a text saying that she would be meeting with one of her tutors during her free time, so she wasn't ignoring me, but I knew that something was up, and missed the chance to talk.

I yearned for her, and every pretty girl I saw on campus just reminded me that for some reason, Katherine and I were just not connecting right now. I gave her space, based on what she had said to me before about needing to work something out, but it was hard. And heartbreaking. To add insult to injury, I knew that there would hardly be a chance for me to see her that week at all unless we made time between our different classes, as she had dancing four out of five days, and she tended to get home very late.

Monday was one of those days. She would go straight from university to the dance studio, and I would be left going home to my parents' to study. In my desperation, I got on with things, but couldn't imagine what she was going through.

Katherine, meanwhile, was thinking about what she would do when she got to the studio that evening. She knew which of her fellow students she thought was most attractive. It was Anna. But Katherine felt incredibly nervous at the prospect of trying to seduce anyone--never mind this particular girl, when Anna had never shown interest in girls, and when Katherine herself had no experience of seducing anyone.

At the same time, she dressed for university that day with purpose. If she was going to go through with the task her mum had set for her, she was going to do it the only way she could imagine: that is, the same way she would with a boy. Consequently, she showered, did her hair and makeup, then put on thong panties, sheer tights, a nice skirt, and a sweater as if she was doing it for me. Then she packed her ballet bag with a fresh leotard and tights, together with her pointe shoes, and left her house for the day feeling as confident as she could under the circumstances.

Anna was a lithe, beautiful girl whom Katherine had known for years. She was a year younger than Katherine, and was taking a year out to concentrate on dance with a view to seeing if it would take her somewhere, which Katherine also admired. She had never spoken of a boyfriend before, so it meant there was a possibility of her being interested in girls, and they had a dance-based friendship, which Katherine thought she could use in order to make any attempts at getting closer to her more natural.

She needn't have worried, though, for as it turned out, Anna was more than receptive.

When Katherine arrived at the studio after her day at university, she found Anna already there, and already dressed for dancing. This surprised her, as the bus schedule normally meant that she got there earlier than anyone else, but meeting Anna in the changing room made her wonder if this wasn't meant to be.

'Oh hi, Katherine!' Anne spoke as soon as Katherine walked in the door. You look gorgeous. Is that what you wear to university every day?'

'Yes, normally,' Katherine said, happy that she should have walked in to find Anna alone so long before anyone else got there. She flopped down on the bench. 'But, jeez. I'm exhausted,' she finished.

'Aw. Sorry you feel that way. Is there anything I can do for you? Do you want me to rub your shoulders?' Anna asked, kindly.

Katherine was shocked. Was this planned? Had her mother talked to Anna to set something up?

'No, it's okay, Anna. But thank you. How are you doing? We don't get to speak together very often, and I realise that I never ask you about you.'

'I'm well, thanks. I'm just glad to be out of school for a while, and able to concentrate on dancing. It's hard work, but I have been learning a lot about my body. Including how to relax and take care of it.' She moved behind where Katherine was seated on the bench, put one foot up on the bench and began to rub Katherine's shoulders. There didn't seem to be anything deliberately sexual about it, and Katherine was able to relax and enjoy it, but she was very conscious of their proximity and especially of the proximity of Anna's beautiful leg. 'We still have fifteen minutes before the others arrive, so I can show you a little bit.'

Katherine closed her eyes and just enjoyed the massage for a number of minutes. At some point, she felt Anna's leg against her arm, and instinctively put her hand out to touch it. Anna's breathing changed, and she said, 'Maybe we should finish getting ready for class now. Any chance you would have time for a coffee of something in the next few days?'

Katherine couldn't believe it. She didn't want to assume that Anna was expressing interest in her, but she wasn't sure who was seducing whom. Either way, she answered Anna in the affirmative, and they agreed to make a date after class.

Time in the studio passed quickly, and the young women spent all the 'down time' between actual dancing standing together and talking. Then, toward the end of the class, before some of the other girls had even left the studio, Anna hugged Katherine. 'It's been so good to talk today. I've wanted to for a long time, but you showing up early really broke the ice. Can we plan to meet up this week?'

They left the studio for the changing room smiling, and with Katherine thinking it was all too good to be true.

They made a date for Wednesday, with a view to going for drinks after dancing. Consequently, their class had a different feel to it, and the two of them made sure to stand near each other, to help with leg lifts, with balance, and anything else that required partners. From the point of view of everyone else in the class, it was just Katherine and Anna growing closer as friends. To Katherine, it was the groundwork for a single date she had to undertake for the sake of her parents. To Anna, meanwhile, quite unrecognised by Katherine, it was the culmination of years of yearning to be noticed. What Katherine had not realised is that Anna had liked her for years, and that Katherine's own decision to target Anna for seduction was actually subconsciously a result of a connection that already existed between them. Every time Katherine made contact with Anna's body now, made Anna weak with desire and happiness. In Anna's mind, she was finally getting what she had wanted for so long; there was nothing of seduction in it.

After class, the two entered the changing rooms with all the other girls, stripped off their leotards and tights, and hit the showers. Then they did their hair and make-up as they usually did, and got dressed for their date. Not all, but most of the girls in the class were from middle- and upper middle-class homes, so they thought nothing of the fact that Katherine and Anna both put on clothes that were of a higher calibre than those that might have been worn by the general population. Of course, they weren't that different to what either girl normally wore; nor were they different to what many who were studying ballet at this particular school wore. But they were nice.

Having experienced their sexual power when she was with her three dates so far, Katherine first put on her seamless, sheer, black tights, followed by a light, white turtleneck sweater, a short khaki skirt with a belt, and a short black blazer. Anna, meanwhile, put on similar tights, a short tan-coloured belted skirt, and a charcoal-coloured turtleneck. On her feet she wore dark grey medium-heeled ankle boots that matched her top, while Katherine wore black kitten heels. Both let their silky hair hang straight down. They looked gorgeous, and it was commented upon by their dancing mates. Not that any of them could feel bad about their own looks; they were an attractive lot.

Eventually, though, after saying their usual goodbyes to the other girls knowing they'd see each other in a couple of days, Anna and Katherine left together.

As they walked the kilometre or so to the bar, Anna surprised Katherine by reaching out to hold her hand. And so it was that they arrived at their destination.

When they walked in, people looked up from their drinks to see what they thought was a very beautiful lesbian couple. This made Katherine uncomfortable and she tried to let go of Anna's hand, but Anna held on tight and said to her, 'Don't worry about it Katherine. They don't know us, and they can think whatever they want to think. Let's just have fun together and not worry about other people.'

So that's what they did. They ordered drinks and they talked and they laughed. Katherine relaxed and found herself thoroughly enjoying Anna's company. Indeed, although she would never have thought about it before her experience with Monica, she found herself enthralled by Anna in all sorts of ways. After all, Anna was pretty, talented, thoughtful, and... sexy. Yes, sexy. Katherine was conscious of her chest, her legs, her mouth, and before she knew it, she found herself wanting to kiss Anna.

At the same time, Anna seemed to sense this, and said so.

'Katherine, are you alright? You seem distracted,' she said at one point, interrupting her own story as she recounted it to her friend.

'I'm fine, Anna. Sorry. I just... I don't know. I just...'

'Want to kiss me?' Anna laughed. 'I'm just kidding. But Katherine, you must have guessed by now that I like you. I have wanted to get to know you better for at least the last year, and now here we are. I have to be honest. I knew you often arrived at ballet early on Monday's, so I made sure I was there in time this week to see you before the others arrived, and I know it's all very quick, but I have to say it: I like you, and I find you very beautiful.'

'Anna, I don't know what to say. I mean, I can't believe you're telling me all this. I...'

'Oh no! Have I just scared you, Katherine? I didn't mean to. Pretend I never said anything.'

'No, it's not that, Anna. It's the opposite, actually. I'm glad you just said that. It's just that I can't believe how perfect your timing is.' And with that, Katherine leaned towards Anna with the intention of kissing her. Fortunately for her, it was Anna's deepest wish, and she was met halfway by Anna's lips.

They kissed at their table in the bar, confirming all the other patrons' suspicions that these two beautiful young dancers were in fact a lesbian couple, and attesting to their own mutual sense of attraction.

Then they stopped, and Anna said, 'Do you want to go somewhere else? My mum is away right for a few days right now, so we could always go back to my place.'

'Really?' Katherine said. 'I would love that.'

So the two girls finished their drinks, paid the bill, and left the bar--this time not just holding hands, but leaning into one another, and laughing like the best of friends and lovers.

Anna's house wasn't a house at all. It was a beautiful apartment in a neighbourhood not far from the ballet studio, right in the centre of the city. It took the two of them about forty-five minutes to walk there from the bar, and they talked as they walked while holding hands, getting to know each other better and better, and increasing the feelings they shared for each other. They stepped in the door, and Anna showed Katherine around, explaining that it was just her and her mum living there, as her father had left them when Anna was two.

Katherine loved it, and commented on the fact that it was both very stylish but also very feminine. Lastly, Anna showed Katherine her bedroom, and said that the only person who had ever been in the bed was her. Then she paused and looked at Katherine with anticipation.

Katherine took this as an invitation, and affectionately tackled Anna onto the bed. Anna screamed with surprise and delight, and Katherine kissed her. Then Anna kissed back. Then the two of them got lost in kissing for a number of minutes until they were a tangle of hands and mouths. Sweaters were pushed up and breasts felt; skirts were pushed up and legs and bodies ravished, until Katherine settled on Anna's sex, and began fingering her through her tights. With both still dressed but completely dishevelled, Katherine then positioned herself between Anna's legs and began licking her, causing her to cum quickly.

'Oh my god, Katherine. That's the first time I've orgasmed with another person. I can't believe it was you! I have dreamed about this for so long. I am so happy!' She smiled and kissed her.

The two of them went back to kissing until Anna suddenly stopped and descended on Katherine this time. She did so slowly, licking and stroking up her legs from her ankles to her calves to her thighs, and finally, to her sex. Once she arrived at Katherine's sex, she used her fingers to stroke and probe, drawing out the wetness that had formed inside. Once the labia felt sufficiently wet, she then began to suck and lick, taking each labia in her mouth, then the clitoris, making Katherine squirm above her.

Under Anna's ministrations, it didn't take Katherine long to cum. And when she did, it was dramatic. It started as a shiver through her body, then got stronger. It felt to her as if it ran through her spine right to the base of her skull, and she screamed, taking even herself by surprise.

'Oh, Anna! That was incredible. I've never felt like that in my life before! Come here. Come up on the bed with me.'

Anna smiled and ran her hands up and down Katherine's legs one more time. 'Katherine, you have no idea how beautiful you are, and how lucky I feel. Thank you for coming home with me.'

The two girls lay beside each other for a while, just stroking each other's hair and gazing into each other's eyes before Anna said, 'It's late now. Why don't you stay with me tonight, Katherine?'

Katherine agreed, and so both of them decided to get up and strip off their clothes. They went into the toilet together and peed, then after brushing her own teeth, Anna gave her toothbrush to Katherine. 'We've already shared our everything else, so we can probably share a toothbrush,' she said with a smile.

Then Katherine brushed her teeth, and the two of them fell into bed together, their soft bodies pressed against each other before falling asleep.

I was frantic when I didn't see Katherine the next day at university, and couldn't get hold of her on her phone. As far as I was aware, she had gone to dance class the night before, and might possibly have gone out with a friend afterward. But normally she would at least send me a text saying she had got home safely, or that we could meet for lunch, or something. But that day? Nothing. So when my lectures finished at four that afternoon, I got in my car and drove to her house where I was greeted by Teresa.

'I'm sorry, Thomas,' she said. 'She's got someone over right now. Hang on. I'll see if she can see you.'

'Weird,' I thought. 'I'm Katherine's fiancé, and her mum is treating me like a barely-known acquaintance.' But I didn't have much time to think, as Katherine came to the door seconds later.

'Tom! Hi there! What are you doing here?' she said.

'What am I doing here?' I demanded. 'I haven't heard a word from you for more than a day, and I was worried. Why didn't you get in touch with me?'

'Oh, I'm so sorry, Tom. It's just that I went out Anna from dancing, and we were having such fun, I forgot. And I didn't manage to get up for uni this morning because, well, we had too much to drink last night. Can you forgive me?'

'Of course I can forgive you, Kat, but can you understand how worried I've been. What, with never getting to see you on weekends anymore, and then you missing uni today... You never miss lectures! I mean, what was I supposed to think? And...'

Suddenly, one of the prettiest girls I'd ever seen came around the corner and stood behind Katherine with her hands on Kat's shoulders. She had the same colouring as Katherine, and a similar, graceful appearance. In fact, they could have been sisters.
