Chapter 10
A few weeks later I went with Mum and Dad to the Grand Final. Pete was a regular in 1
st
Grade now and was even getting mentions in the Sydney newspapers as a rising star. Their fullback, Tom, Nikki's brother had just been signed to a Super Rugby contract with the Canberra Brumbies. After the game, which Sydney Uni won, we went back to the Rugby Club to celebrate.
Pete brought Nikki over to meet us. Mum and Dad fussed and said the right things about Tom and Dad realized that he had played against Nikki's Dad sometime last century!
When the tumult had died, Nikki turned her attention to me as the boys got into some serious rugby songs. We did the small talk and I found that I really liked her. Yes, I could see her as the country Vet with Pete a successful Country Lawyer and a brace of kids to keep them busy.
We talked about her family, their squillion acre sheep station and then about Pete.
"Cate, I know you and Pete are close and he's told me that he feels guilty about spending all his spare time with me now. I hope you understand . . ."
"Of course I do. I know Pete well and Nikki, I think he's very taken with you. In fact, I think he loves you!" I found myself saying.
Tears came to Nikki's eyes and she said softly: "Oh, I am so pleased because I love him so much it hurts! He is so caring and with three big brothers I haven't had that before. He's wonderful to be with and treats me so well. Somehow he just knows how to treat a girl! She laughed. "I can't get enough of him!"
Nikki leaned in closer and almost whispered: "But, tell me Cate, Who was this
Gina
who taught him how to . . . to . . . well, treat me so well?"
Chapter 11
Fast forward to summer. First Year successfully passed -- with some Distinctions for both Pete and I. Pete and I went to the beach together like we used to. Nikki was visiting her sheep station and my new muse, George . . . yes, George, was off racing his Lotus at some obscure circuit in Victoria.
When we got home we were both sunburned, just like we were almost exactly a year before. Only a year. So much had happened and as we sipped icy cold beer, we looked at each other and grinned.
"I'll get the moisturizer!" I said. "You get a couple of towels."
We removed our swimmers and just looked at each other, having not seen each other naked since the day of the table fuck.
"You are so beautiful Cate."
"I love you Pete, but I know you love Nikki and George is getting to me. Although I think his first love is his damn Lotus!" I laughed.
We moisturized each other and recalled the first time we did this. I felt very at ease with Pete and he was the same. We joked, sipped our beers and moisturized each other.
Jack
wasn't quite at ease but not hard either. I was a little wet down there, but not so it showed.
"Cate, have you and George . . . you know, done it yet?" Pete asked as casually as he could.
"Nuh! He thinks I'm a virgin and something of a tease. I think we are both waiting to be sure about each other."
"So, you haven't had sex since our famous kitchen table bash?" said Pete.
"Nuh! None, except for taking care of myself now and then."
"Wow . . . are you horny?"
"Oh yes, I'm so horny it's killing me and it seems that isn't about to change soon with you and Nikki . . . you know . . . getting it on."
"We are, but it's pretty difficult with Nikki living in a fairly strict college and me having nowhere to go."
"Pete, you could bring her here you know. Mum and Dad won't mind."
"Hmm . . . but what about you? You wouldn't be upset if I was with Nikki here?"
"No Pete. I'm happy for you and I think Nikki is just perfect for you. You deserve to be together and to have your home to bring her to."
"Oh Cate, you are the best!" he said as he straddled me and hugged and kissed me.
I looked up at him and down at
Jack
. It was almost hard now, just that lovely state where it's big and looks so impressive, hanging slightly to the side. Pete once remarked that he'd like it to be like that all the time, except when he had a boner!
"Make love to me Pete. One last time! For us both to remember. Not like last time . . . softly. And that will be it . . . we'll never do it again."
Pete sat up and looked down at me for a long time. Then he said softly: "I've dreamed of you asking me this. I'd love nothing more. But not now. Mum and Dad are going to a dinner tonight, it's a work thing, so they'll be gone till at least midnight. We'll have dinner and . . ."
"I'll cook!" I said.
"Excellent! Can you do that Tortellini thing you do? I love that!"
"Done!" I said and moved to get up. Pete stood with his erection bouncing in front of him.
Pointing at
Jack
he said, "We can't wait!" and walked towards the stairs.
I called after him: "You gonna take care of that?"
"Oh yes!" he shouted over his shoulder as he took the stairs 2 or 3 at a time.
I decided to wait. I wanted my orgasms with Pete. But I knew that he had to do it or he'd be stuck like that all day!!
Instead I went to my bathroom and prepared myself for tonight. I decided to shave myself smooth, remembering how much Pete loved my Brazillian smoothie. It was a little sexy doing this, particularly when I slipped a finger inside my labia to hold it whilst I shaved there. All done, I grabbed a hand mirror to admire my handiwork and pleased with the result applied moisturizer. That was almost too much and I resisted going further, savouring the expectation of what was to come.
In the kitchen I got out what I needed for my special dish. Pete went out and then Mum arrived home to find me preparing dinner.
"Who are you cooking for Sweetheart? Dad and I are out tonight."
"I know, Pete took me to the beach today and has been really nice to me so I'm doing his favourite Tortellini as a thank you." I replied.
"Oh, that's so sweet of you." Mum hugged me and then holding me at arms length, looked me in the eyes and said: "I know you love your brother and that he is very special to you. I know it has been hard for you since Nikki arrived in his life. I was concerned that you would grow apart. But now I see that you haven't and that you understand. Have a special evening with Pete, Sweetheart. Then, you need to get on with your life too. What about this George fellow? Any chance for him?"
"I'm not sure yet Mum. Maybe I'll find out after this weekend. If he can tear himself away from his car for long enough!"
Mum smiled and I couldn't help wondering if she suspected or knew about Pete and me.
Pete arrived home just as Mum and Dad were leaving. He had some shopping including a small white shopping bag from an exclusive Jewellery store. A gift for Nikki I mused.
Mum took the time to hug us both together, told us she was so proud of us both and that she and Dad loved us very much. Then she said: "Have a wonderful evening together you two!", kissed us and went out to the car where Dad was holding the door open for her. Chivalry was not dead.
We looked at each other, smiled and both said at one: "Does she know?"
Chapter 12
I excelled with the Tortellini and my Chocolate Mousse was pretty good too. Pete produced a wonderful Pinot Grigio and we had a fun dinner with lots of laughter and innuendo about our future sex lives, along with a bit of serious stuff about where we saw ourselves in the future.
Pete put the dishes and glasses in the dishwasher whilst I sipped the last of the wine. I was strangely content and relaxed as I slumped in my chair in our formal dining table. No Kitchen table for this dinner!
Pete disappeared for a few minutes and then, taking my hand said: "Come with me . . ." As we counted the stairs he put his arm around my waist and leaned over to kiss my head. I giggled as we reached the landing and Pete scooped me up into his arms, now so much bigger and stronger since his rugby has become a major part of his life.
My bedroom door was open and twinkling candlelights illuminated the room. There were rose petals everywhere and soft classical music played. Pete placed me in the very middle of my bed and then reached for the bottle of Veuve Clicquot on my bedside table.
