The first thing we did once we got back to my apartment (we had decided on Vanessa and my place since Danna's house was hosting a party for her father and bringing home her sudden polycule might have caused some controversy she wasn't prepared for yet) was immediately grab onto the nearest person and kiss them like we haven't seen them in years. Danna's lips pressed against mine with enough force that knocked us to the ground. Regina chuckled at the scene, which only made Summer decide to silence her with her own lips.
Poor Vanessa was left out of the first round of kissing, but I could see that she was already incredibly turned on. Her hands ran up and down her body, her breath quickened, and she bit her lower lip. Seeing the opportunity, Summer reached her hand out and gently began to stroke the back of Vanessa's leg. Vanessa moaned softly as she kicked off her shoes and pressed herself deeper into Summer's touch.
As Danna ran her lips against my tongue, I could feel the blood rushing throughout me and my breath quickening. Before I got too overwhelmed in the madness, I had to take back some control. I gently pushed against Danna's shoulders and broke our kiss. She looked at me with soft pleading eyes and I know it was wrong to deny her, but I had to do this.
"Wait, girls," I said, causing Regina and Summer to break their kiss. The two of them already had their arms at each other's waists and Vanessa had a button undone on Summer's shirt. "Before we go any farther, should we set some ground rules?" I knew exactly where this night was going to be heading and I wanted to be prepared first.
They all looked at each other before Summer turned to me. "What kind of rules did you have in mind, Maria?"
"Oh, well, um," I said nervously, having only blurted it out before really thinking of any. "Oh, we should have a safe word." My eyes turned to Danna. "And a safe gesture. Something simple." I didn't think any of us would really hurt the others or anything. Well, okay, maybe Regina might end up taking things a bit farther than she should, but honestly, this was more because this was my first time with a girl and I was about to do it with four of them.
Vanessa thought for a bit. "How about foliage? It's something quick and simple to say." All of us nodded in agreement, then we turned our gaze to our adorable mute of the polycule. "As for a gesture that Danna can do that we'd immediately recognize... hmm..."
As I was trying to think of what kind of gestures we'd be able to recognize in the middle of sex, suddenly we heard someone whistle. I looked down at my chest, where the source of the whistling was from, and was greeted with Danna having a smile on her face. "She may be small and mute," Summer said, leaning down and giving a kiss on Danna's forehead, "but she's not helpless. Remember, she's mute, not silent. There are a few sounds she can make, such as whistling."
"Oh, wonderful," I said, internally screaming. As large part of me wanted to just fuck these girls and go wild on them. However, there was a strong part of me that was nervous about this. I mean, I was about to have sex on the first date. This was okay, right? Like, none of them would judge each other for doing this, right?
"Just so we're clear, everyone consents to sex, boob touching, nipple play, ass spanking, etc, right?" Regina said, picking up on my vibe.
"I completely consent to you all," Vanessa said, loosening her top a little.
Summer held Vanessa's hand, preventing her from escaping any more clothing. "Save some for us to take off. I consent to everything as well."
Danna thought for a few moments, stood up, and signed something. "Okay, so, Danna consents to everything except for anal. She doesn't like and will not receive or perform it."
"Understood," Regina said, taking Danna's hand and guiding her to my bedroom. "I consent to everything as well."
"Hey, don't you get a head start," Vanessa said, playfully chasing after those two.
"I consent as well," I said, getting up, ready to join my first lesbian orgy, when someone stopped me. Summer put her hands around my waist and pulled me in close to her. "Ah! Summer! What are you doing? Come on, the others will be waiting for us."
"Oh, I know," Summer said in a sultry voice, but there was a deep seriousness to her tone. She lifted her hands up and wrapped them around my breasts, taking one in each hand. "I wanted to talk to you, Maria."
Nervously, and experiencing a sudden rush of pleasure like I never had before, I gulped and turned to her. "Yes? What did you wanna talk about, Summer?"
"Tell me, Maria? What are your intentions with Danna?"
"My intent?" I asked, biting my lower lip. Summer's grip on my tits was both pleasurable and nerve-wracking. I didn't know if she was about to fuck me or attack me. "I... I want to make Danna happy."
Upon hearing that, Summer loosened her grip on me and I released a breath I wasn't even aware I was holding. She spun me around and looked at me, deep into my eyes. "Your intent is to make Danna happy?" I could feel my knees begin to weaken a little from nervousness. "You swear by that?"
"Yes!" I said, finding my inner confidence. Her aura was definitely serious, but I knew in my heart that I cared about Danna and her smile and her laugh and her happiness. I wanted to make Danna happy. Summer's expression changed from a serious demeanor to a suddenly sappy and remorseful one.
"I'm sorry," Summer said, gently wiping away a tear from her eye.
"Oh, um, if you want to apologize, can you tell me what that was about?" As the Ringmaster, I had to start taking some control in my new life as part of this polycule. Also, it just felt really hot to somewhat boss Summer around.
With a gentle nod, Summer began to speak. "I guess it's no secret that I care for Danna, very much." Actually, I had noticed it. When we all were kissing earlier, I noticed that Summer only kissed Vanessa and me, but she never kissed Danna. At the time, I thought it was because Summer and Danna had a more professional relationship. That's why I was hesitant on considering Summer as part of the polycule. "Yes, you could say that I love her."
"Um, how long have you loved her?" I asked, curious myself.
"About three years now," Summer said, averting her gaze from both me and the direction that Danna was. I could hardly contain my sudden feelings for Vanessa. I couldn't imagine how that would have been for Summer. "Don't get me wrong," she continued, "I enjoyed every moment being with Danna, even if she didn't reciprocate the love back to me. But, it always hurt when I saw Danna fall for another girl."
"Because she wasn't falling in love with you?" I asked.
"Because the other women would treat Danna differently," Summer said sternly, as if she was cursing all their names at once. "They only saw Danna as a way to get into money, or worse, as someone they could take advantage of because she was mute." I noticed Summer's fingers grip tightly around her arms.
"Why didn't you ever tell Danna you were in love with her?"
"She never looked or saw me that way," Summer said, another tear beginning to form in her eye. "And I didn't need her father seeing me, the person entrusted to protect Danna, as someone who might have been using her." She turned over and stared deep at me. "Danna has been in love with you since the first day of classes. The way that you speak, the way you analyze, the way that you created that romantic video for the first project. All of that just spoke to her, but, like how she never did with me..."
"I never looked at her like that," I said, looking down at the ring. I mentally beat myself up a little for not having fully recognized it earlier. The ring didn't make Danna fall in love with me, it made me notice Danna was in love with me. Had she been giving me those looks and glances this whole time? Slowly I reached my hand and held Summer's. "Summer, admit your feelings for Danna. I'm sure she'll reciprocate them to you. And, I promise that I'll treat Danna well. I love her smile and I want to be a reason that she smiles. As long as, you know, you two are fine being part of a polycule with Vanessa, me, and Regina."
With that, Summer's tension dropped and she wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly. I could hear her sniffle a little as she buried her face into my neck. "I know that I am. Thank you, Maria. I will."
I gave her a gentle pat on the back. "Come on. Let's go. Better not keep them waiting, or they'll already be neck deep in each other." Summer nodded and I guided her to the bedroom.
