Activated Pt 08

Author Note: Gotten a few positive comments, thank you all. This episode we bring the girls to Sandy's parents house for Thanksgiving. Calliope becomes a part of the extended family along with Jenny.

Tomorrow is Halloween and I'm putting the finishing touches on my ninja costume. I even rigged up some fake ninja flash bombs by cannibalizing some LED flashlights. I have two plastic swords to complete the outfit, along with 2 very real, very sharp swords that I won't be bringing out right now. I couldn't resist and the last few weeks have been very good so I have money to splurge.

Next week Calliope is moving into her new studio apartment which means two things, we get to bring home the portraits and we get to pose for a very special picture. Speaking of Calliope, we meet up with her several times a week, sometimes to just watch her work, sometimes to talk, sometimes to have sex. She was alone for quite some time and has to make up ground. We tested something the other day, the script doesn't work with her, it seems that only Jen can trigger me. They only spent a few days together so Calliope doesn't know if there was something similar with Johnathan. And Calliope has been a lot more open about Johnathan, it was still a sensitive subject when we first met but I think our friendship helped a lot to get her past that. We will never fill that void but being friends with two "kookie college kids" as she has called us, really has helped.

Jen and Alex are going as Luke and Leia, on one condition, apparently Leia gets a lightsaber too. For the sake of convenience, they are going to ignore the brother and sister thing.

The dorm has a little party down on the first floor, there is a room for special events. I know some of the frats are having parties but not even an edible arrangement will get me on their good side. Speaking of that, I did break a rib and before he recovered, they charged him with rape. I have been told they aren't likely to need me for the trial, between the girl who was raped and the tainted punch, they figure they can put him away for a long time. I have zero sympathy, he chose to do something that could ruin lives, he deserves this. I heard from the girl I rescued, it was just a thank you and that was all. I wouldn't have wanted any more, she shouldn't have to think of that night.

We lost a few in the Taekwondo class, this was to be expected, Jen and Jo are still there because they don't want to cross me, heh. I made blue rank and I'm close to testing for brown. My goal is to make black belt by the end of the year, I don't think this is any special skill but the enhanced reflexes and strength make is easy to cruise through it.

I'm still dating Tom but I'm not sure where it is going, we did take things to the next level and I let him fuck me a few times. He's good, I needed that badly, but at some point, I see us breaking up and the funny thing is I'm not sure why. I can't put my finger on it, just a feeling I have. So, while we're together I'll have some fun.

Speaking of sex, about a week ago something weird happened that got me fucked. It was an evening in the room when Alex was staying over, this happens more these days and they are very cute. They are in bed, naked, and I'm over in my bed with a book just wearing a t-shirt. Something triggered me, I put down my book, pulled off my shirt and walked over to the couple, they were startled and then Jen locked on to my tits. I climbed in the bed with them and then it changed, Jen and I didn't shift into a 69 where we eat each other out till exhausted. Jen started insisting that Alex fuck me. Poor Alex he didn't know what was going on but eventually did what his girlfriend was telling him to do. Alex felt so good, I actually wish I would have asked him out that first night, clearly, he has picked up some skills himself through practice. Looking back, I'm amazed I didn't orgasm when he pushed into me it was so good. Alex has gotten used to the crazy like when the roommate climbs naked into the bed with you and your girlfriend. Jen is kissing me, running her hands on me, Alex is also running his hands over me as he pounds away. Alex explodes in me, the waves of pleasure bounce between us.

When we calm down, all of us entangled. "Um, what was that all about?", I look at Alex, "and thanks."

"Alex has been staying over a lot, and you looked lonely there so when you came over, I figured you needed it."

"I couldn't help myself; something triggered me."

"Honka, honka!" as Jen squeezes my tits.

"Hey!" and I pinch her in the ass.

"Okay, I can see this getting out of hand." And I see her take hold of Alex's dick and begin to work it.

"Well, thank you, not sure what happened but I liked the ending. You sir are really good, Jen is lucky. I'm going to go back to my book"

And I did, nothing like that has happened since, I'm kind of hoping it does.

I have been starting the day, well after I check my computer, running. I find it keeps my energy level in check and I picked up several tight running outfits that I look amazing in, although I am something of a blur. I haven't made any new discoveries on my runs but I'm keeping my eyes out.

Next month I'm heading home for Thanksgiving, I haven't asked her yet but I already cleared it with Mom to bring Calliope home too. I already have it planned when I unveil the original Euterpe, my parents are going to be super envious. Actually, while I'm thinking about it, I pull out my phone, "Poppy, if you are not busy Thanksgiving week, I'd love for you to join us at my parents for the week. Great Falls, Virgina, we have tons of room."

Now I wait, for the reply. I really hope she can come and there are tons of room, my family is well off and my house is huge.

I put the are fake swords on my back, yes, they are the fake swords. I'm looking into adding some sword training. I wasn't joking, I'm going to work on being a ninja although not to kill anyone. Is this my idea? I always wonder when I get these crazy ideas but I think this one is mine, I have always loved movies with the kickass female heroes.

I look in the mirror, you can see my eyes and my hair in a pony tail, that is it. I head to the elevator and stop; Ninja don't use elevators! 6 flights of stairs going down is nothing, I'm barely break a sweat running up them these days.

Poppy finally got back to me on Halloween while I was at the party, I guess a freelance artist means you really control your schedule and she would love to spend some time with my family. Poppy wanted to drive there but that's like four and a half hours, my parents are fine flying us, we'd just have ship a few things separately. It seems Poppy wants to do some painting while she is there after I showed her the landscape around my yard so she is going to pick me up in a few minutes and we're going to UPS with her paint supplies and canvases, she is very particular about her supplies. Also, I get to see my painting again, I almost forgot how amazing it is.

Last week we helped her move in over the weekend and stayed over which you can imagine ended up in a lot of sex. We had a session to pose for the special picture, poppy started painting us and quickly stripped off her clothes, she finished and as you can guess, more sex, we were certainly undressed for it. The picture is amazing, it makes me hot just thinking about it.

Calliope's SUV pulls up to the dorm, "Hop in kid, we have some shipping to do!"

As I get in, I see she has the seats down and there are maybe 6 canvases including one wrapped up, I can guess that is mine. A few boxes of paints too, I suggested we buy them when we get there but she is very particular about what she uses.

It was not inexpensive but when we arrive on Friday evening it will all be waiting for us.

Apparently, she brought Jen's copy of the painting with her today, she wants to help me put it up in our room. I think she just wants an excuse to see our dorm room, I'm afraid she is going to be disappointed. Neither Jenny or myself have done much to customize the room, we're going to find 2 beds, one organized desk with 3 huge monitors, one semi organized desk and closets full of clothes.

We head up and I trust the artist to figure out where to hang it, she even brought a tool for easily setting it up to hang complete with a level. Task accomplished I realize that wasn't the only reason she wanted to check out the room. She sits on my bed and we start to make out, and we start to undress each other. Once we are naked, we pause to get under the covers, there is a little chill in the air and while it seems some level of cold resistance is part of our gifts there is no substitute for being under the covers, naked, with someone you love. Poppy is like a sister to me, well sort of, I mean we're having sex and it isn't like I would do that with Betsy, you know what I mean.

This isn't like some of the triggered sex, in fact I realize thinking about it that it has been some time since we have done that, this isn't as driven, we enjoy kissing while naked and running our hands over each other. Eventually Poppy starts to work her way down me and she pauses at my tits, licking them and rubbing my nipples, "I've been known to have an orgasm from that sort of attention." I think she feels it was a challenge since she increases her efforts, I can feel something building, I run my hands along her back and through her hair, any second now. She moans into my left tit as the echogasim hits her, the flavor is based on how I had a climax so it doesn't surprise me when I feel her rubbing her nipples against my stomach. She makes her way down to my pussy, clearly the tits were only a waypoint to her final goal.

Before meeting up with Jen and I it seemed that Poppy had only limited exposure to sex with girls, it seems like she is determined to even that balance. She runs her tongue along my lips and sucks on my clit, a finger enters me and she is clearly an artist at this as well. Another orgasm hits, unlike the sex when I'm triggered, we don't keep going climax after mind-melting climax, Poppy starts to slide up until she is resting her head on my tits.

As we are enjoying each other's warmth, the door opens bringing Jen and Alex into the room. The painting captures both of their attentions, this is the first time that Alex has seen it and he is mesmerized. "I forgot how amazing it is."

Alex comments, "Your artist friend is really good"

Calliope replies, "Thank you", he is startled a little, the picture captured his attention and didn't see I wasn't alone in the bed. As he turns to us, I give him a little wave. Jen isn't fazed, apparently for our little club having sex in front of others is acceptable, not sure that Alex is on board but Jen is so that is good enough for him. She gets undressed and climbs in her bed, Alex isn't as bold, he looks over at us then to his very sexy, very naked girlfriend in the bed, motivating hjim to get undressed and into bed. Calliope is more mature than me, I on the other hand have to try really hard not to comment as Alex undressed. Even for us this is a little awkward, Calliope and I start to get worked up a little as we see Jen climb on top of Alex, I kind of want to just turn and watch them go at it like I have a few nights lately, but Calliope seems insistent on keeping my focus on her. I catch a glimpse of Jen getting up on her hands and knees, this is too much, if I don't do something I'm going to find myself watching them. I start to kiss my way down Calliope, under the covers which block my sight, I can still hear them going at it which is driving me crazy. I kiss along her inner thighs and then her pussy, trying not to think about "is he fucking her pussy or ass". She runs her fingers through my head which helps me refocus, at least until I hear a moan from Jen, I have become quite familiar with, I use every skill I have to bring Calliope over the edge, I reach under her and cup her ass as the orgasm hits, she lets out a muffled scream. When we are having sex at her place and she doesn't have to hold back she is quite loud, I'm glad she was able to hold it in. I make my way back up, kissing her wonderful body along the way.

Alex and Jen are back under the covers, she is kissing him on the neck and chest.

"Poppy, you have any place to be tonight? I think I'll order some pizza."

"I'm an artist, I make my own schedule. At least until I start to do gallery shows."

I reach over to grab my phone; I figure we can have a nice evening chatting now that we got the sex out of our systems. Well, maybe again after the pizza is gone.

I'm so excited, heading home for the week today, video calls are not the same as seeing my family. Mom, she's the organized one, setup the plane tickets for us and Calliope is going to drive us to the airport for the quick flight home. She pulls up into the Premier parking lot, it is more expensive but we keep hearing about people whose catalytic converters are stolen, best to choose the lot least likely to have problems. Jen and Poppy unload their suitcases, I don't bother since I have enough clothes at home to cover the week, all I need to have been my new hacker laptop. I'm going to miss my new desktop with the huge monitors, I guess I will have to suffer.

The flight is uneventful and very short. I call Mom once we land, she's coming to pick us up in the van.

I got a surprise when the van pulled up, it was not Mom, she sent Mike. "Hey there Mikey, you our ride tonight?"

"Sandy, it's Mike or Michael, you have a few nicknames you don't like I could bring out."

"Point made Michael, point made."

We load up the van and make our way home, the scenery looks familiar, I have a warm comfortable feeling from that.

I hear Poppy whisper to Jen, "Sandy's brother is cute." Jen met the family last year. I only have met Jen's Dad who escorted her to school the last 2 years.

We pull up to the house, and yes, it is huge. The girls unload their suitcases and we enter the house, Mike, not Mikey for sure, actually takes it on himself to bring in the suitcases. I start to walk up to give them a hug when Betsy nearly knocks me over to give me a hug, it only has been a few months and I can see the changes in her and Mike since they hit 18, she is going to be beating off the guys with a stick and I can see in the light that Mike is very handsome too. "Hi Mom and Dad, are the twins keeping out of trouble while I was gone?"

Dad laughs, Mom says, "Of course, you 3 have always stayed out of trouble. Let's have a look at you, goodness college has been taking care of you."

Little does she know; I'm keeping that secret for the time being.

"Sandy, want to introduce us."

"Sure Dad, you remember Jenny my roommate. This is Calliope Bard; she is an artist and the three of us have been friends for the last month or so. Once we get settled, I want to show you a picture she painted for us."

"Nice to meet you girls, make yourselves comfortable, our home is your home while you are here."

"Thank you, sir, you guys can call me Poppy."

"Mike, can you take their bags up to the guest rooms?"

"Sure Dad."

We head to the comfort of the great room to talk about school and catch up, I sneak off and retrieve the painting, relieved that it was delivered with no damage. I'm excited to see everyone's reaction to Calliope's work.

I come back into the room carrying the covered painting, this gets everyone's attention. I step back by the fireplace we never use, Mom has asthma, so that everyone can see. "At some point I am going to be able to claim I have an early Euterpe original."

"That's the name I sell my art under."

I continue, "They are going to be priceless and this one certainly will be because I'm never selling it!"

With some dramatic flair I expose the painting, and it gets really quiet. Dad breaks the silence, "What would it take to commission you for a family portrait? How about $5,000?"

"Oh, I don't know sir"

"$10,000? Your picture of the girls takes my breath away."

"I would be honored to paint your picture, and I wanted to do a few landscapes while I'm here and I was going to leave one with you anyway.

"So, we have a deal?"

She nods.

"Dad, we have another one that is nearly identical in our dorm, that is Jen's."

"Mr. Card, it really perks you up if you are having a bad day."

Mom has been examining the painting all along, a calm look on her face, I know that look well. "Sandy, you are right, I haven't seen artwork like Poppy's since we went to the Louve."

She starts to blush.

Mom gets up, "I'm going to check where Dora is on dinner."

"Dora is the maid and chef, she's here a few days out of the week."

Mom comes back, "Probably 20 minutes, why don't you check out your rooms and get settled."

I lead the girls up to the guest rooms; Betsy is in tow. "See this on the wall, not sure it was built soundproofed but the house sucks up noise, Dad had the intercom put in. This way they can call us for dinner without screaming."

Betsy helps Jen settle in and peppers her with college questions, they have been checking out colleges the last few months. Mike helps Poppy get settled.

Sure, enough the intercom announces dinner in about 20, I had just enough time to setup my workstation for the week. I'm already plotting out how I'm going to change things when I come home for the summer, a new desk is a given.

Dinner is delicious, sprinkled with college talk. Jen is happy to talk about her boyfriend, strangely she omits how they met. Poppy talks about how she and I met, striking up a conversation while she was painting by the lake in the park. I skip talking about dating Tom, I still have the nagging feeling we're close to the end and I can't figure out why. I already told the girls that I don't want the Frat party story brought up, I'll tell Mom at some point this week so as not to get everyone worked up.

I impress Dad telling him I hit the blue belt level, he had all of us take classes so that we'd be able to take care of ourselves. Mike is actually close to testing for the blue belt, I bet he is wondering how I overtook him.

Mom has been trying to get to the bottom of my switch in major. "Mom, there isn't anything to it, I had to take some computer sciences classes and I realized this is what I'm really good at. I was always good at math so that's why I picked accounting but it never was my passion, I stumbled across it with computers."

"She's a hacker."

"Jen, 'hacker ninja' remember" I omit the sexy part I have been using while at school.

"Ninja?"

Jen pulls out her phone and shows everyone the picture of me at the Halloween party. The red hair in a pony tail escaping the outfit the only to tell it is me. Mom looks at me, I just smile and shrug with a tilt of my head.

Saturday Mom wanted to take the girls out for lunch and she almost got them all, it seems that Poppy got a look at the yard in the daylight and wanted to get started painting. Dad is going golfing; in the fall he tries to get as much golf in before the weather changes. Mike is probably going to play on his PS5.

We come back from lunch with leftovers and a fresh meal for Poppy, when I find her on the patio, she has 2 paintings done and is working on a third. A painting of the front of the house, I guess she did that one from the driveway, one of the back yard with some fog around some of the features. The third one is almost done, the back yard from a slightly different angle featuring a deer. Poppy told me early on that she paints what she sees so I know at some point this afternoon a deer was in the yard, we do get them but they never stick around.

Poppy stops painting when I come in the patio, she looks around to see I'm alone. "I need you to promise me you won't be mad."

I'm confused, "I could never me mad at you Poppy."
