Magnus and His Family (Chapter 18)
Kathryn M. Burke
The next morning, both Greg and Kristen had to hurry—he to his hardware store, she to her classes. They promised to see each other soon, but Kristen felt the need to report back to the household—and especially to Darcy—about what had happened.
Of course, no one was in doubt as to what had happened, since everyone noticed that Kristen had not come home the previous night. As she wandered into the house late in the afternoon after her last class, she found Darcy sitting in the living-room couch. There was a smirk on her face—but also a somewhat troubled look.
"Well, look at you!" Darcy said. "Corrupting my brother on the first date!"
Kristen impulsively embraced Darcy and planted a wet kiss on her mouth.
"Omigod, Darcy!" she exclaimed. "He's such a darling! I think I must be . . ."
I must be in love with him already.
Darcy didn't need Kristen to finish the thought. "That's really wonderful, dear. I think—I think he's wanted a girl for a long time."
"You bet he has!" Kristen said enthusiastically. "He certainly showed it last night!"
Darcy colored a little, not used to hearing her brother being talked about that way. "He—he came through?"
"I'll say he did!" Kristen said.
Over and over again.
"But he was nice, wasn't he?" It was a point Darcy seemed really intent on.
"Of course he was! Just the world's greatest sweetheart. I gotta get to know him better."
"I hope you like what you find out."
"Sure I will! He just needs someone who understands him—who can bring him out of his shell."
"It would be wonderful if that someone was you."
"Well, I'm going to give it a try." Then, after a pause: "I guess you know . . ."
"Know what?"
"Oh, come on, Darcy! You must know."
"Must know
what?"
Kristen faced the realization that Greg's sister really didn't know. Even though there was no one else in the house, she felt compelled to whisper:
"His thing is really big!"
Darcy clapped a hand over his mouth. "It is?"
"Of course it is!"
"Well, how was I to know that?"
"I guess you couldn't have."
"Um—how big?"
Kristen spread her hands out to the requisite length.
"No way!" Darcy burst out. "That's impossible!"
"It isn't. Trust me, it isn't."
"And—and you managed?"
"I believe I did." She said it with some smugness.
"Can I ask . . . how many times?"
"Four."
"How? I mean, which ways?"
"Once in my pussy, once doing sixty-nine, and twice in my bottom."
"You got that monster into your bottom?" Darcy was aghast.
"He didn't go all the way in. I told him not to." Kristen lapsed into a contemplative mode. "But as a matter of fact, I think he went in pretty far." She rubbed her bottom as she thought about it.
"Jesus, Kristen, did he hurt you?"
"No, no, nothing like that. It was just a little uncomfortable. I'll probably get used to it."
"So I guess he must have liked it—and liked you."
"I would say so." And she mockingly imitated Greg's pronouncement: "That was the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me."
"He said that?" Darcy cried.
"Yup. I told you he was a sweetheart."
"God, you must have had a real effect on him."
"Yeah—even with these tiny boobs."
"Will you stop going on about your boobs? They're just fine—all the guys say so."
"I guess. I just wish—"
"Never mind that. What are you going to do?"
"Well, I'm going to see him again, of course. Maybe even tonight. Or maybe we should rest up before meeting again."
"Hey, I don't want you having just a sexual relationship with him."
"Don't worry—it's already way more than that."
The overriding thought that was in both women's minds rendered them silent for a time. It was Darcy who articulated it.
"Um, when are you going to tell him about—about what happens here?"
Kristen chewed her lower lip. "Yeah, that's going to be a tough one. I don't want him to freak out. I guy like that who hasn't had much experience may get real possessive of the first girl who takes an interest in him. But I'm sure he'll take to Adele—and of course he loves you already."
"Yeah, but not like that."
"Don't be too sure!"
"Kristen, what on earth are you suggesting?"
"Nothing. But I think it'll be all right. There are whole new worlds of love that we need to introduce Greg to."
Both women decided that getting Greg into the mix was an urgent matter. So, after several more dates (and sleepovers) with him to solidify their relationship, Kristen suggested that Greg come over to the house to meet the other occupants. By this time she well knew that Greg was awkward—even disturbed—by large gatherings; but she figured that she and his own sister Darcy would make him feel welcome, and that the others would be on their best behavior.
The meeting—a lavish dinner in Greg's honor—went splendidly. The two guys (Paul and Curt) greeted Curt with open arms; and the three girls—well, they greeted him with more than open arms. After dinner, Kristen, Darcy, and Adele clustered around Greg on the living-room couch, asking him question after question about himself (Darcy cleverly led the questioning in directions she knew her brother would be comfortable with), and laughing and touching and even kissing him whenever he said something cute or funny.
Later, Kristen took Greg up to her bedroom for what might prove to be a sensitive discussion.
"Sorry to have thrown so many people at you all at once," she said. "I hope you liked everyone."
"They were fabulous," Greg said, humbled that he had been so enthusiastically treated.
"Well, it's clear everyone thinks you're pretty fabulous too," Kristen said earnestly.
Greg was so choked up with emotion that he fell silent.
"Listen, Greg," Kristen said, sidling close to him on the loveseat they were sitting on, "I gotta tell you something about how things work here."
"What do you mean?" Greg said, frowning in puzzlement.
"Well, you see," Kristen said, trailing off. She really didn't know how to say what she had to say without making it sound as if this house was a throwback to the days of Roman orgies. "You see, we all love each other here—everyone loves everyone else."
"That's great," Greg said uncertainly.
"And so . . . we like to
express
our love for each other." Kristen paused meaningfully. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
After a long silence Greg said, "I—I think so."
"And I love
you,
Greg."
Greg swallowed hard before saying, "I lo-love you too, Kristen."
They embraced and kissed for a long time.
"So I think," Kristen said, "you might fit in here really well."
"Yes, maybe."
"Would you like to try?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, maybe you could spend a week or two in this house and see if you can get along with everyone—especially the girls."
Greg blushed at that and said nothing.
"Of course," Kristen added hastily, "we don't mean your sister."
But Greg was quick on the uptake. "But—you and Paul . . .?"
"Well, yes, there's that."
"You mean you—?"
"Yes, we do, but we both decided that would be a nice thing to do. We love each other even more now. But you and Darcy can decide what you want to do."
Greg again lapsed into silence, thinking about his sister.
"So how about it?" Kristen urged.
"That would be great!"
Greg exploded in sudden enthusiasm. "When can I start?"
"How about tomorrow? Just bring some stuff that you'll need for the next week or so, and we'll see how things go."
And that's how it was. After work the next day, Greg came over for another dinner, suitcase in hand. There was no separate bedroom he could occupy (and anyway, no one believed he would be spending nights alone, now that there were three guys and three girls in the house), so Kristen made space in her bedroom for his things. Greg blushed furiously as he placed his underwear in the same drawer as Kristen's bras and panties, and used the closet to hang up shirts, coats, and other items.
But since Kristen had already cuddled up with Greg on several occasions during the past weeks, the time had come for him to get to know the others—specifically, Adele.
After dinner, Kristen whispered in Greg's ear, "You'll be with her tonight," nodding in Adele's direction.
Greg's face first went white, then colored bright pink as he contemplated the incredible notion. Adele gave him a genial smile.
But studying came first. The five college students had to hit the books (or their laptops), and Greg managed to find some amusement in video games and other sources of entertainment.
Around ten o'clock, Adele closed her textbook with finality, walked over to Greg, and said, "Why don't we go up to my room?"
Greg followed her like a zombie up the stairs.
