What Are Friends for: Room to Spare

Joshua glanced up in consternation, the only sound the soft clink of silverware on plates as they ate. He watched as Jackie pushed a piece of broccoli around on her plate without ever attempting to spear it. Without even thinking about it she reached a hand up to swipe at her bangs, her recently trimmed mousy brown hair styled in a page boy bob barely covering her ears let alone getting close to her eyes.

"What's going on?" he asked softly.

Jackie looked up at him, her blue eyes troubled while her fork paused in midair. She took a deep breath and glanced away with a slight shrug.

"Something's upsetting you," Joshua pressed, "Was it something I did?"

"No," Jackie replied instantly while shaking her head, 'It's not you at all."

She hesitated while she stared off into midair and then took another deep breath.

"You remember Kat?" Jackie suddenly asked.

"Kat?" Joshua asked ins surprise, "You mean your college roommate? About the same height as you, green eyes, blond hair, little bit heavier?"

"You left out ginormous tits," Jackie said with a smile, "But yea, that's Kat.

"She and her husband are losing their house."

"I... didn't even know she was married," Joshua said as he recalled the vivacious, flirty blond and the way his normally shy and quite wife had always seemed to blossom around her.

"They have to be out by this Friday," Jackie continued, "I've never heard Kat so upset and they are going to have to either live in their van or get one of those crappy, seedy hotels you can rent by the month."

"That sucks," Joshua replied, "What happened?"

"William... her husband, he got laid off from MassTech," Jackie said and began pushing her broccoli around her plate again, "He was able to get another job, but not near the same pay and they burned through their savings while he continued to look."

Joshua nodded, Kat and William's plight sending a shiver up his back since he worked in tech as well and could easily see himself in a similar situation. He focused on taking a bite of his chicken marsala, Jackie's mood infectious as they both ate in silence.

"Josh," Jackie said several minutes later.

"Umm?" Joshua replied while chewing his food.

"We have the spare room, and the job market in the area is a lot better than Portland," Jackie said softly.

Joshua froze, his eyes widening in surprise.

"I know we were talking about the extra room as a nursery, but it would only be until Will found another job and you could help by putting in a good word at Latent Images, couldn't you?" Jackie pleaded.

Joshua hesitated, the company wide email encouraging people to have qualified engineers apply and the bonus that accompanied any new hire crossing his mind before he gave a slight nod.

"If Will doesn't have a problem sending me his resume so I could glance over it, I wouldn't have an issue putting in a good word at work for him," Joshua said while he watched Jackie closely, "But... what are you suggesting?

"Do you want them to stay with us until they manage to get back on their feet?"

"Yes!" Jackie said, her eyes lighting up as she sat up straighter in her chair.

"Well... no," Joshua replied softly.

"What?" Jackie asked in shocked surprise.

"I mean, how is that supposed to even work?" Joshua asked, "Look what you're wearing, do you think I want that to change?"

Jackie glanced down at herself in surprise. She was sitting in her chair with her feet pulled up beneath her dressed casually with a loose fitting camisole top with a plunging V neck that left her cleavage and belly exposed, a top that if she leaned forward even slightly allowed Joshua an unimpeded view of her nipples. Instead of jeans or shorts she had on a pair of satin bikini panties, Joshua's eyes drawn to her long, slim legs and what he could see of her petite feet tucked beneath her bottom.

"And we both like sunbathing out by the pool, do you really want us to start to have to put on clothes all the time?" Joshua continued.

Jackie blushed and gave a small shrug.

"If it were only Kat, she'd be fine with it," Jackie responded.

Joshua's eyes widened in surprise before he laughed and shook his head, "I'm not sure where that came from, but even if it were true, it won't be just Kat, will it."

"No," Jackie replied, "But I'd still like them to come stay with us!

"No more than a month, you should be able to keep your little soldier covered up for only a month, can't you?"

"I'm not worried about my little soldier," Joshua shot back," I'm worried that the girls won't be getting enough vitamin D."

Joshua stared pointedly at Jackie's full, D cup breasts, her nipples dimpling the thin fabric of her top and her dark brown areola plainly visible through the off white ivory material.

"These?" Jackie asked and reached down to lift the edge of her top to expose herself.

Joshua grinned at her boldness and lack of body modesty. It had taken him years to get her to be comfortable with her body, to be comfortable being nude around the house, sunning out by the pool, and even their ever more frequent trips to a nude beach. More than anything he didn't want her relapsing into her more self conscious ways from when they had first began dating.

"Yes, those," Joshua said with an admiring grin while he stared at Jackie's breasts, "Seriously though, I don't think..."

"Please?" Jackie pleaded and pulled her camisole up over her head and tossed it aside, "Only for a month and then we'll go back to normal, cross my heart!"

Joshua smiled at Jackie referring to how they dressed around the house as 'normal' and licked his lips when she took her time slipping her finger up and down, left and right over her erect nipple.

"Jackie," Joshua protested weakly, his resolve melting as he watched Jackie continue to stroke her nipple with her fingertip, the firm flesh bending until her finger grazed past for it to jerk back to erect attention.

"Please, Josh," Jackie begged, "She's my best friend and I've known her since fourth grade, I hate thinking about her being homeless or in some shitty motel somewhere!

"What will it take? Do you want me to promise to worship your cock every single day before you fall asleep while they're here?"

Joshua jerked slightly, his dick already partially erect from watching Jackie play with herself quickly swelling and poking against the fabric of his boxers. Jackie's blowjobs were always amazing, but when she talked about worshiping his cock, it was more than just a blowjob. It was her spending sometimes over an hour touching, stroking, caressing and suckling him. More than once he had managed to cum twice while she had pleasured him, Jackie taking pleasure in giving, her mouth sometimes gentle while only holding him enveloped within her wet warmth, sometimes demanding while she sucked hard at his glans, but never letting him slip out for twenty or thirty minutes at a time.

"I'm not sure if I could even handle that," Joshua said with a chuckle.

"Wanna find out?" Jackie asked huskily and stood up, her legs unfolding from beneath her so that she could walk around the kitchen table and pull Joshua to his feet.

He stood up, the top of Jackie's head barely reaching his chin while she looked up at him while biting her lip. She rotated her torso slightly so that her erect nipples slipped over his t shirt, his erection already poking through the slit of his boxers to stab into her stomach.

"You're really serious?" Joshua asked while he stared down into her eyes.

They had matching eyes, blue with flecks of amber that often made people mistake them for being related. Now Jackie gave a quick nod as she stared back into his and then pulled his t shirt up and over his head.

Joshua raised his arms to let her lift his shirt off before she pressed herself against him, her nipples now grazing over his naked torso.

"Please?" Jackie asked and then very slowly began to sink down.

Joshua watched raptly as she pulled his boxers down at the same time she lowered herself to her knees. She took his hard cock in her hand and as he watched she let saliva drip from her open mouth over his glans.

"Please, Josh?" Jackie asked softly and while making eye contact leaned forward to lap at the bottom of his glans with the flat of her tongue before pulling away again, "Just a month."

Jackie leaned forward, her eyes never leaving his and took Joshua's glans in her mouth. She didn't try to shove his dick down her throat, but only held his glans between her lips, her tongue circling around his ridge while she suckled and applied constantly changing pressure.

"Mmmm, Jackie," Joshua sighed after several minutes while they continued to stare into each other's eyes and Jackie worked his glans with her mouth and tongue.

"A month, and I promise to worship your beautiful cock every single day," Jackie said when she took a moment to slip him from her mouth.

The moment she was done speaking she forced her head forward, Joshua's length pressing and slipping deep into the back of her throat. He wasn't a large man, maybe just a little over six inches, but Jackie very rarely deep throated him preferring to spend copious amounts of time working his glans with her tongue and mouth.

'Ungh!" Jackie choked, her eyes never leaving his while saliva dripped freely from her chin.

She took Joshua's thighs in each of her hands and pulled, forcing his length deeper into her throat while she stared upward, her nose stabbing into his lower stomach each time she forced her face forward.

"Shit, Jackie, just like that!" Joshua exclaimed.

He felt his pleasure quickly surging, the feeling of his glans pressed into the back of her throat making his legs tremble.

"I'm getting close!" Joshua exclaimed only moments later to allow her to pull him out.

The only complaint Joshua ever had was that Jackie hated him cumming in her mouth and would always pull him out to cum on her face or tits. She didn't mind his taste and would often scoop his seed up with her fingers to lick clean, but didn't like him finishing in her mouth. This time she continued to pull at his thighs, his length being forced deep into the back of her throat while she made a wet 'ungh, ungh, ungh' sound and saliva ran off her chin in a constant, steady flow. The moment Joshua realized that she wasn't going to pull his length free, that she wanted him to cum in her mouth his pleasure surged and he released spurt after spurt of warm cum into the back of Jackie's throat.

Jackie coughed, saliva and cum spraying over Joshua's crotch and she pulled him from the back of her throat and into her mouth, her lips clamping tightly around his glans while she suckled, more spurts of cum filling her mouth while she tried to swallow.

"Ohh, shit!" Joshua exclaimed, his legs shaking uncontrollably at the pleasure Jackie was bestowing on his cock.

She smiled around his length and then slipped him free with a pop before standing up.

"Only a month," Jackie said, her words slurred by the mouthful of cum she still had.

She opened her mouth wide for him to see, her tongue swirling and twirling through Joshua's thick, milky white seed filling her mouth before she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him. Joshua jerked in shocked surprise as his eyes flew open at the sudden, chalky taste, Jackie forcing her tongue deep into his mouth, his tongue quickly finding hers to joist and duel in a pool of saliva and cum, her hand pressed against the back of his head to hold him against her lips.

"I know I've said it already but thank you so much for letting us stay for a while!" Kate said a week later as they sat around the same kitchen table.

"Yea, thank you!" William said from where he sat on Kate's right with Joshua on her left, "It's... hard to swallow your pride and ask for help, especially when you need it the most!"

"It's really not a problem at all," Joshua said evenly and glanced at Jackie on his left who smiled back at him, "Jackie really has a way of convincing people when she sets her mind to something."

Jackie had the good grace to blush, but also smiled at Joshua, her happiness obvious. Joshua still had a hard time getting the image of Kat who was about the same height as Jackie giving his wife a kiss on the lips the moment she and William had arrived earlier in the day. He replayed the way Jackie had exclaimed in delight, the way the two women had embraced, Kat's long, raven black hair cascading down to the center of her back, the way that he had stared in amazement when Kat had pressed her lips against Jackies, or the way the kiss had lingered for much longer than anything Joshua would have expected with Kat's hand pressing into the small of Jackie's back.

He remembered trading glanced with William and the way he had seemed just as surprised as Joshua, or the way he had given a half apologetic smile and a small shrug before the two women had finally separated as if nothing untoward had occurred.

"I'm just happy you could stay with us instead of a motel or something," Jackie exclaimed while smiling broadly at Kat.

"Oh, and my boss got back to me yesterday, he said your resume looked really promising and he'd have HR reach out to you for a phone interview," Joshua added with a nod towards William.

"That's..." William instantly replied and had to take a deep breath before continuing, "That's even better news! Thank you!"

"Yea, not a problem," Joshua replied.

The two couples sat out on the back deck around a glass topped patio table, sunlight stabbing at their eyes from the ripples dancing across the surface of the pool.

"You have a beautiful home!" Kat added after taking a sip of her margarita that Joshua had made for both girls, "I'd love to have a pool I could lay out all day when it was beautiful like this!"

Kat glanced around the yard and then gave Jackie a conspiratorial grin, "And you could work on not having any tan lights without neighbors too!"

"Well, I certainly don't," Jackie said repressively and then grinned, "Have tan lines, that is!"

As if that were a cue both women were soon face down on beach towels, Jackie untying the back of Kat's two piece while Kat lay with the side of her face pressed against her crossed arms. As soon as Jackie had finished with Kat she lay down and quickly untied her own. Joshua and William were left to their own, both men openly staring at the women as they sipped their beers.

"That is a lovely sight to behold," William eventually said.

"It is," Joshua agreed and held out his bottle for William to reach over and clink his against it.

"So... any advice for if I get a phone interview with Latent?" William asked.

Joshua tore his gaze away from Kat and Jackie, their backs gleaming with suntan lotion and sweat. Kat's shoulders were a little wider than Jackie's, her hips broader but with slightly larger breasts that he could just see the side swell of as she lay chatting with Jackie.

"Actually... yes..." Joshua replied and paused to think, "Safety is really important and you'll be asked specifically about that. If you can maybe think of a personal story where you insisted on safety over expediency..."

The two men continued to talk for several hours while Kate and Jackie sunbathed and chatted, neither of the men bothering to even try to hide that they were enjoying the view. When Kat stood up to refill her margarita Joshua almost choked on his beer when she didn't even bother to retie her bikini top and strolled into the house topless. Not to be outdone, Jackie had rolled over and held out her glass to Joshua, her breasts swaying tantalizingly in full view until Joshua had stood up to oblige her.

"Scuse me, sir," Kat had said cheerfully when they had slipped past each other in the sliding glass patio door, Kat turning sideways so that her nipples brushed lightly over his arm when they passed.

As they talked for the rest of the afternoon Joshua was surprised at how much he had in common with William, from their interest in archeology to how exciting they both found the sudden, explosive development in private space exploration to be.

"I seriously thought I'd be dead before ever seeing another man on the moon, but the space shuttle was a good thing for Nasa," Joshua was saying much later.

"Come on, it was a failure from the very first successful launch!" William insisted, "We needed a dump truck and we got a Lamborghini with a truck bed half ass welded on as an afterthought!"

"I don't know, I wouldn't call the Shuttle a total failure," Joshua replied, "I mean, yea, it was more expensive per kilo to orbit than the Atlas V, but it still advanced the tech."

"It was more than twice the cost per kilo! But, yes, partial reusability absolutely helped, I mean, how expensive would it be to fly to London if you had to throw the damned airplane away after just one flight, but..." William began before being interrupted.

"Are you two really arguing about little green men?" Kat asked when both women eventually joined them.

Joshua and William both looked up as the women joined them, Joshua's eyes flickering over both women's chests and more than a little disappointed that they had bothered donning their bikini tops again.

"Please don't start Josh ranting about how stupid the idea of aliens are," Jackie said with a theatrical swoon, the back of her hand pressed to her forehead, "When are you two big, strong, masculine hunks going to go kill a cow for dinner?"

"Burgers on the grill?" Joshua asked.

"Ummmm," Jackie responded with a moan of almost sexual pleasure, "Yes please, I won't even complain if it still moos. A little."

"Rare it shall be," Joshua said with a grin and stood up.

That night Joshua stared down into Jackie's eyes, her lips encircling his glans while she only held him in her mouth and let her tongue circle his smooth crown while only occasionally toying with his slit.

"Maybe this wasn't such a terrible idea," Joshua said softly, his hand reaching out to stroke his fingers through Jackie's hair.

"Mmm hmm," Jackie said without ever slipping Joshua from her mouth.

"You know, you can move up and down on that thing," Joshua said several minutes later, Jackie's tongue drawing out his pleasure to the point where he caught himself thrusting into Jackie's mouth on occasion.

Jackie smiled up at him with his cock still in her mouth and gave her head a small shake.

"Really, you just plan to tease me all night?" Joshua asked although the idea certainly held some appeal.

Jackie again smiled and gave an affirmative nod, her tongue slowly swirling around his ridge while he stroked her hair.

"Oh, my god, beautiful," Joshua exclaimed softly ten minutes later, his hips thrusting up with a mind of their own while Jackie still just held him in her mouth.

A soft noise distracted Joshua who glanced around the room in confusion before he gasped at the sudden, sharp pressure of Jackie's mouth suckling his glans. She smiled up at him when they made eye contact again, her mouth sucking hard and relaxing, sucking hard and relaxing while her tongue continued to circle.

Joshua heard another soft noise, what was obviously a moan from somewhere in the house and his eyes widened at the sudden realization of what that meant. Jackie had also heard the soft moan and paused, her eyes glancing towards their bedroom door for a moment before looking back at him in amusement. With her eyes sparking and her mouth smiling as much as she could manage with a mouthful of dick she began to repeatedly suck hard and relax, her tongue swirling faster as Jousha's breathing began to increase.

Joshua stared into Jackie's eyes as the moans from their spare bedroom became louder and soon were even accompanied by the sounds of their spare bed squeaking. Jackie beginning to time the pressure she was applying with her mouth to Joushua's glans to the sounds of her friend's pleasure, each loud moan accompanied by a hard pressure to Jousha's glans while Jackie's tongue swirled.
