A new story in three parts. It's long, and a slow burn so you'll need to be patient.
A while ago, I thought about what it must be like to have a relationship with two members of the same family. The dynamics of a submissive in the hands of two sisters gave my imagination plenty to conjure with.
I hope you like it, but beware if you're squeamish, there's fetish content, particularly in parts 2 and 3, so if that is not your thing please move on.
Part 1.
I was heading for The Strand, after work, when my mobile rang.
"Hello."
"Jane?"
"Yes."
"It's Lauren..."
"Oh hello. How are you?"
"I'm well thank you Jane. Listen, I believe from what Sara's told me that you're going down to hers in Sussex tomorrow to stay."
"Yes, that's right. It's the Bank Holiday so I'm hoping the weather will stay fine."
"Good. Yes, the forecast is that's it's going to be very warm. Listen, I want you to come to lunch on your way down. You know where I live don't you?"
This was the moment I would regret later. I should have come up with a suitable excuse, but I wasn't really concentrating, so just said "Yes" rather limply,
"It's the same house you and Sara were brought up in, isn't it? Near Uckfield?"
"Yes. It's The Lodge, Headington. Get here for half past eleven and I'll prepare some lunch."
"Oh...OK...thank you."
"I'll expect you then. You don't have any silly allergies, do you? I've forgotten."
"No..."
"Good..." and the line went dead.
I managed to get the first tube and stood squashed by a door with my nose almost stuck in a woman's armpit. It was fearsomely hot, so the air was heavy with sweat. I was grateful the woman's dress wasn't sleeveless.
As the train rattled slowly westwards, I started inwardly cursing at myself for being so easily trapped into going to Lauren's for lunch.
It wasn't that I didn't like her if anything the opposite was the case. It was just an added complication to what was always going to be a tricky weekend.
It was going to be the first time I'd seen Sara for nearly three years. We'd been at the same university, and after my final year we'd had a relationship. I suppose the word relationship is rather formal to describe what happened...we'd had a short fling really.
***
Sara was two years older than me and doing a PhD. I spent part of my final year doing some research for her as part of my project. She was everything I wasn't back then; confident, sophisticated, beautiful, and worldly. I was naive, shy, and looked girlish and gawky. She had impossibly green eyes, cascading waves of carefully highlighted pale brown hair, and dress sense that always accentuated her pert breasts and firm bottom.
During the three months we worked together, I developed a huge crush on her. I'd never been attracted to a woman, in fact I'd got a boyfriend at the time, but there was something about Sara that just sucked me towards her.
After my finals, I stayed up at Uni until graduation. My parents were away in Dubai, and I thought there would be more parties and fun if I stayed in Birmingham. In the event, I found to my dismay that most of my friends went home or on holiday whilst waiting for their results, so I ended up kicking around with nothing to do. Sara spotted me in the faculty building eating lunch alone one day, took pity on me, and invited me to her house for supper...
The thought of spending an evening with my crush was more than I'd ever dared dream about, so I jumped to accept the invitation.
I spent hours worrying what to wear, buying new underwear, just in case, and trying to put some waves in my long mousey hair to make myself look glamorous.
In the event the evening was rather dull, as Sara's house mate Jo was there, and joined us for the meal. It wasn't till we were finishing off the wine and nibbling cheese on the patio that we were alone.
"You seem very uptight tonight, Jane, if you don't mind me saying so. Is there anything the matter?"
"No, no," I said unconvincingly before taking a large slurp of wine to try and relax. "I'm just sad that this part of my life is ending. I'm going to miss my friends and all the people who've helped me in the department."
"You've been an exceptional student, I'm sure you'll settle into your chosen career. You'll forget about us in a few weeks. You're moving to London, aren't you?"
"Yes," and I told her about the job I'd secured, and my plans to live with my cousin. I waffled on for a few minutes, Sara listened patiently. Realising I was behaving more like an excited adolescent than a twenty-two-year-old, I suddenly stopped, looked at her and apologised.
"Don't worry," she said smiling, and leaned forward towards me from her chair and gently cupped my cheek with her fingers.
They were warm...I luxuriated in the fleeting contact.
"Jane, I'm going to ask you a question. I suspect you will struggle to answer honestly, but it might be best if you steel yourself and do..."
"I..."
"Have you got a crush on me?" she interrupted.
I was floored by her directness. I could feel the colour rise to my cheeks and prayed the fading light would hide my blushes.
"I.... I......" and then with braveness I didn't know I had, said..." Yes, Sara, yes, I have."
"Thought so. You've been gazing at me all doe-eyed for the last few weeks. How very lovely...Is it very painful??
".... Yes..."
"Thought so. How did you know I was gay?"
"Someone said something in the lunchroom one day. They were right, weren't they?" The horror at my lack of doubt as to whether what I'd heard was true suddenly hit me like a brick.
"Yes, they were."
"Thank God...Sorry..."
"What for?"
"Being so childish..."
"Don't be silly..."
The tears welled up in my eyes and started running uncontrollably down my cheeks, and then my nose started to run. In less than ten seconds my appearance changed from near graduate to snivelling schoolgirl...
"Come here..." she said soothingly.
"I'm a mess."
"You're gorgeous..."
She stood and then gathered me up and then sat down again so I was in her lap with my legs over the side of the armchair.
"The question is Jane, are you going to do anything to relieve your pain?"
"I'm not sure what you mean?"
"Well, as I see it, on the 8th of July you will leave the campus for the last time... Will you leave Birmingham with your desire unfulfilled or not?"
"I don't know..."
"Let me make it simple. I'm afraid my position in the faculty is such that I can't be involved with a student under any circumstances."
My heart started to sink.
"Yes...I understand. That's why I've never said or done anything that might cause a problem." I whispered.
"But on the 9th of July you are no longer a student."
"I'm not sure I follow you." I thought I knew what she was on about but was afraid of being presumptuous.
"Ask me out after the 9th stupid..."
I could barely believe what she said. I wiggled off her lap and stood up to face her.
"You mean?"
"Yes, I mean."
"So will you?"
"Yes...but not here. I'm going home to Sussex for a week after the end of term. Why don't you come and stay, and we can go out properly, away from the sanctimonious academics we're surrounded by..."
She pulled me back down on to her lap. My summer dress caught on the arm of the chair and there was an ominous ripping sound. I was momentarily alarmed, but then her arms went round my neck, and she pulled me close into an embrace.
Our lips touched briefly, and I pulled away, alarmed that I'd overstepped the line. Thankfully, she was smiling....
I caught a hint of her perfume; it was musky and hung in the air.
"It's perfectly acceptable to give your colleagues a goodbye kiss Jane."
I leaned forwards, she gathered me in, and our lips mashed together properly. I did not want it to end, and neither it seemed did Sara, as she put her hands behind my neck and held me tight...
Things could have gone further that night, but we both knew the line was best not crossed. We just sat and chatted; the fingers of our hands intertwined.
In the hall, as I set out to walk home, we kissed again... a goodnight kiss.
Her tongue forced its way between my lips, and I tasted her sweetness...
We both tried extremely hard not to giggle with happiness and too much white wine.
I floated home, my head in a spin, and a small wet patch in my new panties...

I was jolted out of my reverie as the tube pulled up at my stop. The air on the platform was cooler. I made my way home, wondering what I needed to pack for the weekend whether my old Toyota would hold up for the journeys...
***
The results and Graduation week came and went soon enough. Sara and I hardly saw each other but we spoke on the phone and messaged each other. I was full of insecurity about whether she was truly attracted to me or was just keeping me at bay until the end of term. As each day passed, I would work myself up into a state of doubt until I heard her voice.
I started to pack all my stuff up in the house, ready to leave. I also dealt with my nascent relationship with Phil. Fortunately, that had not got very physical. He was too busy playing Tennis to have a lot of time for me, so the parting was more about practicality than loss. He was from Lancashire, and I was a Londoner. I told him continuing was pointless after the end of term; we simply couldn't afford it. He told me that he'd come to the same conclusion, so we parted amicably.
