We washed the dinner dishes and then went into the living room to catch up with our homework. Shannon sat on the couch and I sat in our only easy chair. We opened our textbooks and started reading.
Shannon and I were seniors at college. We met four years ago when we both signed up for Advanced Sex Education as freshmen. The first day of class the two associate professors teaching the course—Tom and Carol Watkins—scared half of the students into changing to another course. With some intensity they described both the heavy reading load, a required term paper, and the somewhat graphic hands-on laboratory that was part of their class. The athletic jocks and the semi-curious heard the bad news and immediately decided that some other course might better enhance their educational endeavors.
Shannon stayed because she was shy with limited experience and thought it would be good for her. I stayed because the course seemed challenging and I liked the subject.
Shannon and I became lab partners, which means we became very close.
I still remember with mixed feelings when Carol Watkins grinned at the class as she teased, "You guys always want the girls to give you a blow job and swallow, but how many of you ever tasted what you want them to swallow?"
"And," she continued, "you men also all seem to have this dream that you want to fuck your partner in the ass, but how many of you know what it feels like?
"Well guys, in lab and with your partner's help, we will try to correct both of those gaps in your education."
Lab work brought us close together. Shannon and I quickly went from students to friends to lovers. In our junior year we decided to get an off-campus apartment and live together. We both knew, although the date wasn't set, that we would marry at the end of our senior year.
As I daydreamed about that freshman course four years ago I quit reading and looked at her. Shannon was beautiful—she was a slim five-foot six-inches tall, with big breasts, brown hair and eyes; and up to now an almost insatiable appetite for sex.
"Don't do that," she said.
"What?" I replied.
"You're looking at me," she continued.
"Why can't I look at you?" I challenged. "You're almost my wife."
"Because," she answered, "when you look at me that way I get horny and I really have to study for the quiz tomorrow."
"Be serious," I teased, "you can't get horny just because I look at you."
She grinned and said, "Fact one: If you come over here and slip your hand under my skirt you would feel my extremely wet and gooey panties.
"Fact two: If you look at your crotch, you either got a crow bar stuck down there, or the bulge that looks so painful proves my point."
"So smart-ass, how do we resolve this conflict between study and sex," I countered.
She smiled impishly and closed her textbook. "Like we always do. I set the alarm clock to get us up two hours earlier tomorrow for study time, and now we go into the bedroom and proceed to fuck our brains out until one of us surrenders."
"A brilliant solution," I chuckled, "What would I be without you?"
Shannon laughed. "Horny" was her one word answer.
An hour later and with five orgasms between us she lay with her back to me as I lightly teased her breasts and we talked.
I asked, "Are we ever going to get over this sex thing, or are we doomed to a life of lust and orgasms?"
Shannon chuckled, "We better not get over this sex thing. We've been practicing for three and a half years and we're still learning how to pleasure each other. This is a lifetime study.
"And besides," she continued seriously, "great sex reminds us how much we love each other."
I squeezed her breast gently in agreement.
Shannon turned over and faced me. She was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I wasn't going to bring this up until the weekend, but maybe now is a good time.
"I went over and talked to Carol and Tom today and described my problem and they gave me some advice."
Suddenly worried I asked, "What's your problem honey?"
She answered, "It's not me. It's my kid sister Pam."
Pam was four years younger than Shannon and in her final year of high school; she would be starting at our college in the fall. She was a tall five-foot ten-inch girl who was thin with small breasts, brown hair and a very cute face. With her height and athletic ability she had made the varsity basketball team in high school for the last three years.
I liked Pam and when I saw her she was always laughing and talking with me. Shannon told me that at school Pam wasn't the same way. She had inherited the family shyness trait, and while her height may have helped her in basketball, it had made her self-conscious socially.
Shannon continued, "My mom called me a few days ago. Pam had gone out on a date a few weeks before then. The next morning mom found her crying in her bedroom. She told mom that it wasn't the boy's fault. She teased him to have sex with her; she was determined not to be a virgin any longer. She wanted to be more like me.
"The boy was big and not experienced. He hurt her a lot by going too fast and it was messy and over in a few minutes. The only good thing was that Pam has been on the pill since I talked to her a year ago about being careful since sometimes men don't think things out.
"Pam was embarrassed, sore and depressed when she admitted this to mom.
"Mom thought she would get over it, but Pam has been quiet and depressed ever since. She is staying in her room a lot—sometimes mom hears her crying—and the other day Pam said she might work a year before going to college."
I asked, "When you explained this to Carol and Tom, what did they say?"
Shannon answered, "They said that Pam is in a very delicate situation. When a very shy person initiates sex for the first time and it turns out bad, they can be emotionally scarred for quite a while. If she follows the first bad time with another bad time, it could affect her the rest of her life.
"And they pointed out to me that freshmen boys are not normally known for their sexual empathy to the female that they are trying to get in bed."
"What's the answer then?" I asked.
Shannon smiled warily, "Well to make sure the second time is wonderful."
I protested, "We can't control that."
Shannon remained quiet.
I continued, "You and I are best friends and soul mates. But you know that even many of our friends don't have the right attitude about sex like we do. It's going to be blind luck, and the odds are against it that Pam will meet the right person who will give her an enjoyable second sexual experience."
"There's one way," Shannon said quietly.
"How?" I asked.
"We help her," Shannon answered.
"But Shannon," I protested, "we both agree that even our friends might not treat Pam the right way if they took her to bed. How are we going to find the perfect man for her?"
"We don't have to search for one," Shannon replied. "We already know one."
"Who?" I asked puzzled.
Shannon looked at me and said, "You."
"Me!" I gasped. "Me...have sex with Pam? That's impossible."
Shannon grabbed my arm and squeezed it as she said, "You and I are deeply in love with each other. We're going to be together the rest of our lives. I'm willing for you to have sex with someone other than me if it's for the right reason.
"Pam has always had a crush on you and she trusts you. It could be the perfect second time for her."
"But it's crazy honey," I said, "I love you."
"This isn't about love," Shannon replied, "It's about sex, and you are good at it and my sister needs help. I'm asking for your help—a gift from you to me by helping Pam."
"Did you talk about this idea with Carol and Tom?" I asked.
"Well actually," Shannon replied, "They suggested it since they know us from their class, and they know the strength of our love for each other."
I made one last try. "Are you sure?"
Staring straight into my eyes she said, "Yes."
I took her in my arms and kissed her softly and then harder. Her tongue searched for my tongue. When the kiss ended I asked, "How are we going to do this?"
Shannon answered, "I'm going to invite Pam to stay with us two weekends from now. Our basketball team is playing at home for the division title and I know she would enjoy seeing the game. Sometime during the weekend I will have a sister-to-sister talk with her and we'll play it by ear after that."
Friday afternoon almost two weeks later Shannon and I waited at the bus stop for Pam to arrive. The bus pulled in and Pam stepped down. She spotted us and ran over to hug Shannon and then me. She was obviously excited to see us.
After taking her things to our apartment we went to a local restaurant to eat and then hurried to the arena to watch the big basketball game. It was an exciting game and we won in the last thirty seconds. The crowd went wild and so did Pam. She was enjoying herself. I noticed she was always touching one of us—either hugging Shannon's arm or holding hands with me, it seemed she was anxious to have physical contact with someone she trusted.
We went back to the apartment and opened a bottle of wine and each of us had a glass and a half. We called it a night as Pam went to sleep in our tiny second bedroom.
Shannon and I stayed up for a while. I said, "I don't see anything wrong. Do you?"
