The answer to my question about Georgia's sexuality came a lot sooner than I expected. Next time we spoke, I mentioned about Lydia and Becca being back together.
"That's good for Lydia," she said, "But when I think about two girls like that... I know I shouldn't say it, but give me a hot guy like you any day."
And so my dream died. But it had always been too good to be true.
With Lydia more herself and Becca visiting all the time, I made a point of inviting Georgia around to our flat more. She got on well with Lydia, and even Becca, which made things more pleasant, and having her around more also led to more sex. Sex with Georgia was nowhere near as fun and kinky as it was with Mum, but we were still learning what each other liked and it made sense it wouldn't go 0-100 in a few weeks. I had found out that Georgia absolutely loved having her pussy licked or being fingered, and it was easy to make her cum like that, which meant she was a lot more in the mood for sex than if we tried to skip that step. On my side of things, Georgia's blowjob skills were heavenly, and I ascended to a new plane of existence when she got on her knees and combined a blowjob with letting me fuck her sexy tits. One evening, after Georgia and Becca had gone home and me and Lydia, clearly both having had sex in the past hour, met in the kitchen, we had an interesting conversation exchanging tips about licking pussy. Lydia told me that Becca really loved having her clit sucked, something I thought I would try on Georgia and Mum when I had the chance.
Perhaps in light of how comfortable that conversation felt, the next day when me and Lydia both had nothing to do and we were watching some reality TV trash (I was mostly focused on texting Georgia while she was doing some uni assignments), our conversation turned around to sex again.
"Do you usually use one finger or two if you're fingering Georgia?" Lydia suddenly asked.
I looked over at her. She also had her phone out, wearing loose trackie bottoms and a vest which showed a lot of her plain white bra.
"Um, usually just one," I said. "Why?"
"Becca always uses one on me but two just feels better," Lydia told me. "Turns me on a lot more, but when I ask Becca to use two, she doesn't seem as good."
"I sometimes use two on Cathy," I said, and Lydia glanced over at me. "She really likes it too."
"Did you and Cathy fuck over Christmas?" Lydia asked. It was the first time we'd mentioned me and Mum in a few months and I got the impression she was curious.
"Yeah, a few times," I said.
"Does she know about Georgia?"
I nodded. "She doesn't mind, really."
"Cathy is amazing," Lydia told me, smiling.
I gave up on texting Georgia since she hadn't responded for five minutes. "She is," I replied.
There was thirty second of silence as I stared at the TV, having no idea what was going on, before Lydia spoke again.
"Okay, I've always wanted to ask this, but, have you ever done anal?"
My head snapped back round to look at her. She was staring at me, waiting for a reply, and I felt myself getting a bit embarrassed.
"Uh, no," I told her.
"Mark really wanted to do it but I always told him no," Lydia went on. "I always thought, you know, why would someone want to do that? But when we went to that party, I kinda impulsively licked that girl's bum and, I don't know, now I'm confused."
"What's confusing?" I asked. "If it helps, I actually sort of fingered Cathy's bum one time."
"How do you 'sort of' finger someone's arse?" Lydia asked, laughing, and I smiled.
"Well, I only put my finger in a tiny bit. But it was definitely inside."
Lydia nodded. "I tried licking Becca's bum yesterday and she was into it, but when I pushed my tongue, you know, actually inside, she said it hurt and pushed me away."
"Maybe she just needs to get used to the idea," I suggested. "Sometimes the first time can make you a bit tense."
"Mm," Lydia said, looking thoughtful.
"So you've never done anal either? I mean, actually something inside," I asked, seizing my chance.
"No," Lydia confirmed. "Mark wasn't allowed and, so far, Becca hasn't tried."
"But would you do it? If, you know, Becca wanted to," I asked, trying to sound casual.
Lydia saw straight through me. "Well, yeah, I suppose I would try it once to see if it felt good," she said, "But I'm not talking about it if it's just for one of your dirty fantasies about me."
"Me? Dirty? No way," I protested. "I'm just trying to be a good friend."
"Whatever you say," Lydia said. "Would you do anal with Cathy or Georgia, if they would let you?"
"I suppose," I said. "I mean, it looks really hot to do, from the guy's perspective."
Lydia nodded. "Okay, how about... would you lick another guy's bum for a million pounds?"
"Ew, no way," I said straight away.
"Oh come on, it's a million pounds for one tiny lick! Doesn't make you gay," Lydia replied. "You'd do it for free to Cathy."
"But, eugh, guys are all sweaty," I told her. "No way."
Lydia laughed. "You're such a baby. I'd lick your bum for like, half a million. But not less."
"Thanks so much," I said, insincerely.
"How much would you need to lick my bum?" she asked. The tone of the question was innocent, but there was definitely some intent behind it. I debated how to play it.
"Ten million," I said, confidently, and Lydia threw a cushion at me.
"Okay... ten," I said, throwing the cushion back.
"You'd lick my bum if I gave you ten pounds?" Lydia asked, giggling.
"Put up or shut up," I said, holding out my hand for the money.
"I'm not a prostitute," she said, tutting.
"You're the one paying me!" I said, laughing.
She gave me an evil look. "When you saw my bum, I bet you'd change your mind," she teased, shifting around so she was bending her waist, facing away from me, looking over her shoulder. "See, doesn't it look good?"
I had to try very hard not to look at it, but when she started sliding her tracksuit bottoms down, revealing the first few inches of her knickers, I had to object.
"Okay, okay, I'd be delighted to lick your bum, no charge," I conceded.
Lydia pulled her trousers up and sat down again, satisfied. "I knew it," she said, smugly.
It felt good to be able to talk more openly with Lydia about sex, but as I'm sure you know, it never works out as simply that in the end.
Before I went to bed that night, still feeling a bit horny, I sent Mum a text.
Me: Have you ever tried anal?
Mum didn't reply for twenty minutes and I started to think I'd made a mistake, but then she responded.
Mum: What a text to get out of blue! To answer your question, I haven't x it's late, get some sleep :)
The following week was the hotly-anticipated first episode of a new series of some TV show I didn't watch or know anything about, but Lydia and Georgia had been talking about it non-stop. In the end, Georgia invited herself round to watch it, and Lydia invited Becca. Since it turned out to be something else trashy, the girls brought wine and the rules to a drinking game. I joined in to be a good sport even though I had zero interest in it, and in the end, I had to admit it was more watchable after a few drinks and when you were trying to keep track of the drinking rules instead of following the show.
Everyone was pretty drunk by the time the show finished, but Becca had to be up early for something so she said goodbye and left, giving Georgia and Lydia big hugs. The atmosphere was a bit deflated when we were down to just three, but Lydia grabbed a pack of playing cards from her room and sat down on the living room floor.
"Let's play a game," she said, pointing to the floor. "Everyone sit down here."
I complied, as did Georgia, and once we were comfortable, Lydia shuffled the cards and put them face down in the middle.
"Okay, so the rules are, we each take a card, and the highest one gets to give the lowest one a challenge. If the lowest one wants to skip the challenge, you can, but you take two cards next time and have to use the lowest," she explained.
"Okay," Georgia said, "I understand. Are aces high or low?"
