A Virgin Taken

1. No Big Deal
"He said what?" Alison exclaimed, sitting beside her sobbing friend on her bed.
"He said it was just a hand job and it was no big deal," Jeannie peeped, wiping her flushed pink cheeks. "He apologized. He promised it won't happen again."
Jeannie needed to believe it. She and Ryan had been together for almost exactly two years, since the first week of freshman year at college. She couldn't imagine her life without him. He had already promised her a ring before graduation. Maybe it wasn't a big deal. He had kissed that girl. Fingered her. And let her touch him. But that was just hands. It was cheating, but it wasn't CHEATING.
Alison shook her head as if she could read Jeannie's thoughts. "No. No! You see what he's doing, right?"
Jeannie looked up and sniffed.
Alison reached over and smoothed her friend's tangled blonde hair. "He's putting pressure on you." Jeannie stared dumbly at her friend. "Jesus, Jeannie, he's pressuring you for sex! Two years now and hand jobs are all you've given him, right?"
Jeannie nodded. She was saving herself for her wedding night, but she knew no guy would wait without getting something. Hand jobs she allowed herself to do.
***Gee, maybe they really aren't a big deal...***
"Yeah, well, when he says that a hand job from this bitch over the summer is no big deal, what he's trying to tell you is that the ones you give him are no big deal either. He thinks he can get you to have sex with him to keep him from going back to what's her name for another no-big-deal hand job."
"Do you think I should?"
"Christ no! Jeannie, you can't let him push you around like that. Certainly not if you really want to spend the rest of your life with him."
"Then what do I do?"
"Well, I find turning the tables on a guy usually shuts him up. If he thinks a hand job is no big deal, then he certainly can't get too upset if you gave one to someone else and got a little finger action in return, right? I mean, he'd have to admit, it's just a hand job."
"I could never..."
"Jeannie, look at you. You've been a wreck all week. You couldn't even talk about it until right now. Why is that?"
"Because I'm so... I'm so angry at him!"
"Yes! You need to take that anger out on him. Go give a guy a hand job and then you tell Ryan all about it. Let him see how it feels. You guys can never move on until you're even again. He already had sex with that girl in high school, so he's already one up on you."
"Do you think? I don't know. How could I ever get a guy..."
"How could a pretty blonde ever get a guy to accept a free hand job? Gee, let me think about that."
Jeannie blushed. "I'm so shy though. And I definitely don't want to lead a guy on. I don't want... complications."
"Oh. That's actually a good point," Alison conceded. "Hey, I know a guy in my bio class. He screws around with a lot of girls, never with any one of them for more than a month or two, juggles two, sometimes three at a time..."
"Sounds like a real prince." Jeannie frowned disapprovingly.
"Yeah, but he's nice though. At least he's pretty nice to me, and I never got a creep vibe. I'm trying to hook up with one of his suite mates. Next time I'm over there, I'll tell him I have a friend who wants to get back at her boyfriend with a no-strings hand job in exchange for some no strings fingering. From what I hear, he's actually really good at it. Maybe he'll be game."
"He won't try anything beyond what we said? What's his name?"
"Dan Talbot."
Jeannie's eyes went wide. "Are you kidding me? He's in my Psych class. Oh my God, he's cute! But he's always hanging around with super pretty girls. What does he need me for?"
Alison shook her head. "Jeannie, you have great hair, nice legs, you're fit, and you have hands down the prettiest face on campus..."
"I have a fat face."
Alison laughed. "You have a round face. So do some of the most beautiful women in the world. Jeez, doesn't Ryan ever tell you how beautiful you are?"
"Of course he says that, but he's my boyfriend. He has to."
"Your CHEATING boyfriend. So how about it? You want me to set up a rendezvous?"
========================
Jeannie sat on the couch in her suite praying that he wouldn't show up. She wore gym shorts, a baggy t-shirt, and black socks. Alison told her to pretty up, but it felt like too much of a betrayal of Ryan to look too good for this guy. She had the suite to herself. Alison had taken Laura and Jennifer out for Two-for-Tuesday night at the Vern. Jeannie just sat there and marveled at how, as the hour approached, she could feel her heart beating in her fingers.
Through the blurry glass by the door, she saw someone out in the hallway. There was a knock. She had not locked it behind Alison. Her heart began to race. Not too late to run back into her room and pretend not to be home. Something made her speak up. "Come in." She did not say it loudly. Part of her didn't want him to hear. The door handle turned and he stepped into the lounge.
Dan Talbot was about 6'2", which was Ryan's height, except Dan also had broad shoulders and heavy arms. He was on the rugby team, and she had heard he was one of the best players. He had dark hair and eyes, the opposite of Ryan who was blonde and blue, like her. He was dressed in a pair of shorts, sneakers, and a polo shirt. He looked good, and as relaxed as she was tense.
"Hello," he said. "Jeannie?"
She nodded.
He sat down on the other end of the couch, half turned to face her with his arm on the back. "I'm Dan."
"I know." She was looking at the floor in front of her, fidgeting with her hands.
After a pause, he spoke again. "Are you okay?"
She nodded without looking up.
He chuckled. He had an amazing smile, but she did not look up to see it. "You're kind of shy, huh?"
"Yes," she said, without moving. Her heart felt like it might beat right out of her chest.
"Well, Alison told me what happened and what you want to do about it, but honestly, it's fine if you don't want to. You seem scared, and I don't want to make you uncomfortable. Would you like me to go?"
***Yes, Dan, I'm sorry about all this. It was a mistake. Thank you for understanding.***
Then Jeannie forced herself to look up at him and he smiled, kindly and sweetly. "No," she said aloud.
"Okay. Well, do you want to just talk? It's fine if that's all you want to do. I'm a pretty good listener."
Jeannie noticed then that he did not have brown eyes, like she thought. They were dark green. And then in her mind's eye, she saw Ryan with that girl's hand around his penis and a surge of rage overcame her. "I want to. I want to do what Alison told you about." Jeannie almost did not recognize the sound of her own voice.
"Okay. Well, where is good? If we're going to do it here..."
"My room." Jeannie stood up and reached out a hand, wondering what had come over her. Was she really going to go through with this? Was she really THAT mad at Ryan. He took her hand, and she led him to her room, a tiny single with a desk and a bed. The lights were out, but there was a parking lot light close to her window.
Jeannie turned to him, and he took her face in his hands and kissed her. She came up to her tiptoes and put her arms around his neck. Ryan and the two guys in high school whose names she could not then recall had never kissed her like that. Dan's arms wrapped her up and pulled her tightly to him. Her whole body seemed to heat up. Strong hands caressed her buttocks and squeezed them tight, which was just close enough to her pussy to feel incredible.
