"This is such a lovely place, I can see why you didn't want to go home." Jody stretched her legs on the lounger and took a sip of her cocktail.
I had taken Mrs H's advice and invited Alice and Jody to the mansion. We were having a great time so far, enjoying the pool and the cocktails Mrs H had encouraged me to make. Well, they were really mocktails as we weren't allowed to drink, but none of us minded. The Hendersons didn't keep their alcohol under lock and key, but I didn't want to betray their trust, and Jody and Alice weren't really interested in getting drunk anyway. We were all having too much fun swimming and catching up.
"You're so lucky," Alice sighed. "Not only do you get to live in an amazing place like this, but you're living with Professor H!"
Jody leaned over to me. "Yes, tell us, how is that? Is he nice to you?"
My thoughts flashed to how hard he had fucked me yesterday and I could feel my face glow. I tried to will the blush away, but no luck. I took a sip of my drink in the hopes it would buy me some time in which my blush might go away.
"They are both nice to me," I said eventually. "Mrs H is a great cook, so I have been spoiled here."
Alice narrowed her eyes. "You do look very well-fed."
"What?" My hands flew to my stomach, which was still reassuringly flat. "Are you saying I've gained weight?"
She tilted her head and appraised me. "No, you just look glowing and happy."
"Glowing!" Jody pointed at me. "That's the word I was looking for. You look glowing. Living here really agrees with you."
I stretched and closed my eyes. They were right, of course, I loved being here. I wasn't sure how long this arrangement would last, but I was determined to enjoy every minute of it. It was lovely to have Jody and Alice over for a visit, because it made me feel like this was real, and not some kind of fever dream. I made a mental note to thank Mrs H when she came home later. It had been a good idea to invite my friends over.
"This is the best summer ever," I said.
"So you're really not going to get a summer job?" Alice asked. "There's two months of summer left, I'm sure you can still find something."
I shook my head. It was perhaps foolish to give up the chance of making some extra cash, but since I wasn't paying any rent here, I wasn't in need of cash as much as my friends. And I couldn't imagine spending my days at some horrible job instead of here with Mrs H.
"What do you do all day?" Jody asked. "You don't have a job, you're not taking summer courses, and you're not tanned enough to have spent every day by the pool."
The blush was back on my cheeks. I couldn't think of anything to say. They knew I wasn't much of a reader and watching TV all day wasn't my thing either. I could hardly say that I spent my days having sex.
"Spit it out," Alice ordered. "Something's going on."
"She's right." Jody swung her legs over the edge of her lounger and faced me, her elbows on her knees. "Come clean, Zoe."
Well, so much for trying to keep it a secret. Not that I'd been trying very hard. Deep down, I had wanted to tell them everything from the moment Mrs H had ordered me to masturbate in front of her. I just hadn't found the courage yet. Not that I had any courage now either, but I had to give into their demands.
I sat up. "Okay, promise me you won't judge."
Alice and Jody shared a glance. "We promise."
Now that the moment of truth was here, I had no idea where to start. I couldn't just blurt out that I was having sex--lots and lots of it--with Professor H and his wife. But how could I tell them without it sounding sordid and perverted?
"Ehm...I have become quite close with the Hendersons in the last few weeks."
Blank faces greeted me.
"And?" Alice said.
I fiddled with my bikini tie. "I mean really close." I put as much emphasis on "really" as I could.
It took a moment for the penny to drop. Jody was the first to realise what I was saying. "Zoe! You and Professor H?"
I didn't dare look at her. "And Mrs H."
A yelp told me Alice had put two and two together as well. "You're fucking both of them?"
My head shot up. She made it sound so vulgar. Which it was, of course, and that was what I loved about it. But they had promised not to judge me.
"It's not like that," I protested feebly.
Jody shot Alice a dirty look and sat down next to me on my lounger. "Tell us everything. You're sleeping with both of them? How did that happen?"
She sounded curious and excited, not at all disgusted, and I started to feel a bit better.
"It just kind of happened."
Alice rolled her eyes. "Don't give us that. When you moved in here you were all baggy pants and oversized T-shirts and today you're wearing the skimpiest bikini I've ever seen. You've changed, babe. And for the better, may I add. But I can't believe that Professor H took one look at your slouchy grunge wear and decided he must have you."
I laughed despite myself. She was right, of course. "Okay fine, that's not how it happened."
Alice sat down on the other side of me and took my hand. "Tell us everything. And I mean, everything."
My heart pounded. Just thinking about reliving those amazing moments made me hot. And so I told them everything. With some things a little bit modified, because I didn't want to reveal too much of Professor and Mrs H to them. I didn't tell them about Mrs H's special massages or about the sex parties. Even though that would only confirm the rumour they had heard, I couldn't bring myself to tell them how I had flaked out after only two men.
Both Jody and Alice were silent when I finished speaking. Their faces were red and they wouldn't make eye contact with each other, or me. I wanted nothing more than to jump in the pool and cool off, but I didn't want to just leave them after this.
"You have to promise not to tell anyone else," I said after they were quiet for a while. "Professor H is fine with me telling you guys, but we can't spread this around campus, okay?"
They nodded, but remained silent. I guessed they were in shock. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed it either. I just hoped they didn't think I was just making it up.
I nudged Jody with my shoulder. "Say something. Do you think I'm disgusting?"
That finally got a reaction. "Disgusting? No, absolutely not! I'm fucking jealous. How did you get to be so lucky?"
Relief flooded me. "Oh thank god. I was worried you thought I was a slut."
She snorted. "You are a slut, no doubt about that. But there's nothing wrong with that."
I hugged her. "Thank you, that's how I feel."
I looked over at Alice. "Alice? What do you think?"
