It was nearly eight in the eveningâalmost two hours after sunsetâwhen my little sister and I reached Buck and Steph's house after the long drive from Fort Collins, Colorado. We'd seen no reason to stop at the house I shared with George, Frank, and Earlâor at Mindy's dorm. The occupants of both places "knew" that I was getting it on with Stephanie, and they were just as convinced that Mindy was doing Buck.
And that was just fine with us. It was as close to what we were really up to as the four of us wanted anyone else to come. Only the four or us knew the truth.
Those other folks had the right ideaâthey just had the pairings wrong. The story we'd encouraged people to adopt kept them from figuring out that Mindy and I spent a lot of time at the twins' house because we made good use of their otherwise unused spare bedroom. That bedroom was Steph's, as far as the rest of the world knew. But she and Buck shared his bed. They'd dedicated their unused bedroom to us when we'd discovered their arrangement and had disclosed ours in the course of telling them what we knew.
I parked the car on the street in front of their bungalow. Then I reached for Mindy and drew her toward me. She reached back and drew me toward herself. We shared a long, deep kiss. And then, stiffly after spending a long day in the car, Mindy and I unfolded ourselves, got out, fetched our suitcases, and walked to the front door.
They'd told us to consider their house ours. The last time we'd been here, Steph had even scolded us for knocking, so I just opened the door, stuck my head in, and yelled, "We're back. I hope you two aren't doing anything we wouldn't do. Or, at least, that you aren't doing it in the living room."
I heard Steph whoop, and then yell, "Steveâthey're here!"
We stepped into the house with our suitcases, as Stephanie's yell was followed by the sounds of a small stampede. We'd no sooner dropped our suitcases than Buck burst into the entryway.
He raced to Mindy with open arms. She leapt at him and threw her own arms around him. I saw their lips meet as they squeezed each other thoroughly.
Only a couple of seconds later, Steph burst into the entryway and catapulted her sturdy body into my arms. We hugged, too, and then the taste of her mouth was in mine as we, too, kissed deeply. Her majestic rack pressed against my chest, reassuring me of her femininity, and my cock rose to press against her with the news of my continued masculinity. She wiggled against me and I wiggled back, reinforcing the messages in both directions.
At length, we broke up those enthusiastic greetings. Steph took me by the hand, Buck took Mindy by the hand, and they led us together into their living room. Once there, they dropped our hands, Steph squeezed Mindy and put her on the couch. I shook hands with Buck, and he steered me to the couch beside Mindy. Smiling, she pressed herself up against me as I wrapped my arm around her. Meanwhile, Buck sat in his favorite easy chair, and Steph, putting her arm around him, sat on her favorite lap.
"We've been so worried about you two," Steph began. "And we were so glad to get your letter and find out that you were doing all right. We've missed you so much."
"We're glad to be back with our good friends again," Mindy said, simply. She paused a moment; and then she went on, "You can't begin to guess how much it's meant to us to know that you'd be here, waiting for us, waiting to be glad to see us."
I looked at Buck. He looked at me. And our eyes told each other that, though we were more than merely glad to see each other, it seemed to be getting a little deep. And, then, glad that the women had seen to it that neither of us was going to need to violate the Fundamental Code of Manly Behavior, we grinned at each other.
"I'll go find us some wine," Buck said.
As she got off of his lap so that he could get up, Steph said, "Bring two bottles. You and Charlie probably both want red. The ladies," she said, elevating her nose a little and doing her best to look prissy, "want white."
"Okay," Buck said as he got up. Then he reached out and squeezed a good, healthy chunk of her left ass-cheek.
Taken completely by surprise, she shrieked at the indignity and swatted at him. He'd known it was coming, and he took evasive action. She missed. Then he vanished, laughing, into the kitchen, followed by Steph's imprecationsânot to mention her vows of eternal chastity. But she was laughing, too. The two of them were as close to each other as Mindy and I were to each other, and I was glad that Mindy's life and mine were getting back to normal.

We spent a couple of hours chatting with Steph and Buckâgetting the news about things happening on campus, and filling them in on how we'd managed our personal nightmares. But, as we'd agreed earlier, we didn't give them the details of our inheritances. We told them only that it looked like Mom and Dad's estate would see us through college and, we thought, through graduate school. Mindy and I still could not see how we could apply some of our seemingly boundless resources to help themâwithout insulting their pride.
As the four of us talked, the levels of wine in the bottles decreasedâthe red faster than the white. When the last of the red had disappeared, there was a third of the white left in the bottle, and the girls still had half a glass each. I picked up the bottle and looked inquiringly at Mindy and at Steph. They both shook their heads; neither of them wanted any more. I looked at Buck. "Duty calls!" I pointed out.
"It's a hard life!" he agreedâholding out his empty glass. There was just enough in the bottle to fill his glass and mine.
