I wake up in the morning, and she is still snuggled against me. I try not to, but I wake her as I get up to go to the bathroom. Karen looks at me, and moans as she rolls over.
"Karen, are you ok?" I ask.
"Ben, I didn't want to say anything last night, but I am really sore after John." Karen sighs.
"What? Why didnt you say the safe word, or worse yet why did you have sex with me after that?" I ask.
Karen pats my chest. "Number one, I was about to say something when he pulled out to fuck Belle in the ass. Number two, I was trying to hold out and let him cum. I didn't want to make him stop, and feel bad. Number three, I really was Very sensitive when we had sex and it was fun." She says with a big smile. "I never want to say no to you. Maybe after a crazy night, say no the next morning, but I didn't want to say no to you at all this weekend."
I can feel myself deflate in defeat. "Karen, this weekend wasn't about me, it was about you."
She cups my cheek. "Oh Benjamin, I know what you were trying to do. You were doing exactly what you did the summer before, what you have always done. You knew I was hurting and you did the best you could to comfort me and make me feel safe. You dropped everything Friday morning when you saw the posts and drove to me. You blew off classes, drove 3 hours, and then after you listened to me cry for a few hours you took me away for the weekend and made me smile." Karen says to me. I pull her to me, and hug her.
Soon after that, I shower, and start packing up, putting the duffle bags and shopping bags by the door. It's about 8:30 AM. We are a little early to meet John & Belle for breakfast before we all leave. So I make the first trip to the car, I stop outside to check on social media, and my news feeds to see what happened to Asshole and his friends. I read an article from the college newspaper, and a local paper. They both say pretty much the same thing. There were hundreds of people there, things were on edge to start with. Then Asshole came out as I asked Ezzie to have him do, and said he would do it again. Then everything went nuts. The real newspaper has a clip of him standing on the front porch saying it, and they go on to say this could be seen as a confession of the crime. No shit!
Both articles report when the guys retreated back into the frat house. The crowd picked up anything that wasn't nailed down and threw it at the windows in the frat house. Half the windows in the frat house are now boarded up. All three students were removed from campus for safety, and authorities expect to be filing charges against all three on Monday. I am just a little bit happier as I walk back into the B&B.
All that's left are a few shopping bags, one of them being the new lingerie bag. Karen didn't trust me with it, I wonder why? Breakfast is nice with John & Belle. We say good-bye, hug, exchange cell phones & emails, and before you know it we are on the road heading home.
While we are driving, Karen looks up, and reads the same news articles I read earlier. I play dumb, and just listen as she reads them to me. I don't think she is happy, but I think there is definite relief in her voice. Karen goes on to read some of the stuff I glossed over. At the end of the article they mention the campus has a victims group that usually meets every other week, but they have changed it to weekly in case anyone feels the need to come and talk, or even just listen.
I think that might be good for Karen, but I am not sure she will want to bare her soul like that to strangers. "Ezzie, could I ask you a real favor you may not be happy with?" I ask Ezzie. She always resists doing anything with Karen.
I can hear the concern in her thoughts. "Ben, what are you going to ask me to do to Karen?"
I want to say, hey how do you know it's Karen, but I stop myself. She can see my thoughts. I bet there are times she tries to ignore my thoughts that aren't directed at her.
"I do try to ignore a lot of your thoughts but sometimes I just can't." Says Ezzie.
I just sigh. "Ezzie, what does Karen think about going to one of those groups?" I ask.
"She is unsure she would like it, or feel comfortable speaking in a group about the things that happened." Says Ezzie.
"Ezzie, would you be ok with making Karen go to just one meeting this week, before she goes home for Christmas. Make her think she should give it a try, and be honest with herself, about whether it would work for her or not. I am not forcing her to do anything, except to have an open mind and go to one meeting. We could have Beth agree to go with her for support."
"I will do it Ben. I think it is a good idea. I think she needs to talk about it and process it, almost like grief, and yes we can have Beth go with her." Says Ezzie.
Beth arrives about 30 minutes after us. Ezzie arranges for Beth to go with Karen to the meeting. I really hate leaving Karen. I want to stay and just be there, but it's finals week and then Christmas break for Karen, and well the end of school for me. I have to pack up my room, and between all this go down to a tattoo place the next town over before Karen's signature fades from my chest.
A couple of days later, I am coming back from the tattoo shop, and I know Kat is working so I stop in after I get tattooed. When she sees me she smiles at me and waves.
Once she is off stage she comes running up to me and hugs me. I wince, and she feels the plastic bandage. "What tattoo did you get?" She asks me with a little disapproval in her voice. I show her a picture of it on my phone. "Oh Ben, and you put it over your heart." Kat says as she hugs me again.
I look Kat in the eye. "No telling Karen. It's a surprise for Christmas."
We talk for a bit. She tells me her house is a mess of boxes. The end of the week she picks up the rental truck, packs it up, and starts the long drive home to Washington state to go home. She looks at me with a twinkle in her eye. "I wish we could have had one more hurrah." She says.
"Me too. So what time are you off tonight? I will come over." I say.
"Ben, we can't, my roomie." Says Kat.
I look around. No one is in ear shot. "Slut, are you saying no to your Master?" I ask. She just looks at me, almost pleading. "Will the children be asleep?"
"Yes." She almost whispers.
"Do you want to get fucked tonight, Slut?" I ask.
She looks at me for a moment. "Yes Master but...."
"No buts. The kids will stay asleep, and you will get a grand goodbye fucking." I say with authority.
"But Master, my roomie will be home." Says Kat.
"Enough. Ezzie please make her agree. She can be nervous, but she agrees. She knows she is just too horny not to." I ask Ezzie.
"Kat, will agree, Ben." Says Ezzie.
"If you don't tell me what time you are off, and you make me wait outside your house until you get home. I will strip you and spank you with my belt over the hood of my car when you get home." I say.
"I get out at 10pm Master." Kat says.
"I will arrive at 1030pm. You will be standing at attention, naked just inside your door." I say.
"Yes Master." Says Kat.
"I want to really plant a goodbye kiss on you, but I don't want to get you in trouble." I say.
Kat looks at me. "Fuck it. I have two shifts left." She reaches behind my head and pulls me to her, kissing me deeply. "Thank you, Master." She says as she walks away.
I walk out with a hardon after the goodbye kiss. I head to a local pub for a burger & beer while I waste a couple of hours.
I am sitting at the bar. I text Karen in the group chat with me, her & Kat.
ME - I stopped in to say goodbye to Kat. She would like one last hurrah.
KAREN - Oh I would love a hurrah with you right now.
I call Karen. "Hi Honey." I say.
