Black Lingerie Chronicles, Part Nineteen

“Mindy and Sarah are upstairs. They’ll be down in a minute.”

“Really?” Erin asked as Natty came into the living room, “We looked upstairs for them.”

Grinning, Natty said, “I don’t think they wanted to be seen. Judging by how I found them, I think Ashley wasn’t too far off with her ‘costumes were too hot’ theory.”

“They were doing it?” Ashley asked.

“I think they had just finished,” Natty said.

“Wow, they ditched us to have sex,” Ashley said, with mock indignation. She couldn’t keep a straight face, started smiling as she said, “I can’t be mad at them for that.”

Looking at the sexy redhead beside her, Erin could understand why they’d want to have some alone time. If Brimm’s school uniforms were half as hot as the costume Ashley wore now, she might not have needed Natty’s help becoming a lesbian. The short skirt barely covered the girl’s panties, and the top left most of her flat belly bare. Her long legs were sheathed in nylons, and a pair of high heels were on her feet. The outfit left Erin craving some alone time of her own.

Her eyes wandered from Ashley to Natty, and her smile widened. The beautiful dead girl had chosen an angel costume- a gauzy nightie with wings and a halo that was tipped to one side. Erin wondered if the choice of outfits was Natty’s subtle propaganda, maybe a sale’s pitch for whoever was running this afterlife shindig.

Whatever her reasons were for picking the costume, she looked amazing.

A minute or so later, the two girls came down the stairs, looking embarrassed as they joined the group. Looking at them in their costumes, Erin had to smile and think Ashley had probably been right. Mindy in her belly dancer outfit and Sarah in her gladiator costume would definitely inspire some carnal thoughts and impulses.

Mindy looked from Erin to Natty, grinning as she asked, “Angel and demon, huh?”

Erin looked down at her short red dress and thigh high black boots, touched the red horns on her head. A little sheepishly, she said, “Um, yeah.”

“You two look like the couple,” Sarah said, pointing at Natty and Erin, “not you and Ashley.”

“Purely by accident,” Natty said.

“I’m going to let them battle for my soul, later,” Ashley said, playfully.

Laughing, Mindy asked, “Is that what you are calling it now?”

“It’s Monkey in the Middle on a biblical scale,” Ashley said.

That got a laugh from everyone, even Sarah. Erin looked at her for a moment, then decided the girl actually knew what Ashley was talking about and not just guessing what the redhead meant given the context of the statement. Curious, Erin wondered just how much Mindy had told Sarah about their past trysts. If she knows about Monkey in the Middle, a good bit, Erin thought.

Still looking at the girl, Erin wondered about Sarah agreeing to this lingerie party, about her and Mindy sneaking around to have sex. Starting to smile, Erin thought Sarah might fit in with this little group of girls even better than she had originally guessed. Maybe the craziness of old wasn’t completely off the table, after all.

Maybe there is hope for Ashley’s birthday,, Erin thought. Looking at Sarah’s long legs, Erin decided she wouldn’t mind sharing a bed with her old friend.

Looking away before she could get caught checking out her friend’s girlfriend, Erin said, “Unlike you two, we are going to wait until after the party to have our fun.”

“Sorry about that,” Mindy said, grinning at Sarah, “she looked too hot to wait.”

“I’ll give you that,” Erin said.

Sarah gave her a funny look, then when looked away in a hurry. The girl looked embarrassed, but Erin caught the hint of a smile on the girl’s lips.

“Anyway,” Natty said, walking into the kitchen and coming back with two glasses, “you’ll need a couple of these.”

Taking one of the offered glasses, Mindy asked, “What is it?”

“Wine,” Ashley said, grinning.

“We are drinking, too?” Mindy asked, her eyes widening.

“There is a whole rack downstairs full of wine,” Erin said.

“Downstairs? We are… Never mind. The basement I didn’t even know existed,” Sarah said.

“Don’t feel bad, I didn’t know it existed, either,” Erin said, sipping from her glass, “not until Natty showed us.”

“It’s like a whole studio apartment down there,” Ashley said, grinning, “like a kinky artist’s loft.”

“Why kinky?” Sarah asked.

“Um, that’s a long story,” Erin said, waving the question off, “don’t worry about it.”

“Okay,” Sarah said, laughing.

Raising her glass, Ashley said, “A toast… To the Black Lingerie Club!”

“We already toasted that,” Erin said.

“Well, these two missed it,” Ashley said, grinning, “so we have to do it, again.”

“To the Black Lingerie Club!” Everyone said, clinking glasses.

Erin sipped her glass of wine, realizing she had reached the bottom. Maybe the alcohol was getting to her because she didn’t remember drinking all of it.

“Need a refill?” Ashley asked, seeing Erin looking at her empty glass.

“Um, yeah,” Erin said.

“I’ll get it,” Ashley said, taking Erin’s glass from her.

Erin watched the girl walk into the kitchen, smiling. The redhead looked irresistible in her costume, all long legs, and bare belly. Distracted by the tick of Ashley’s backside in the short skirt, she thought maybe Mindy and Sarah had had the right idea. It was going to be hard to focus on the party with Ashley looking like that.

It didn’t help any either that she was thinking about asking Natty to join them. Ashley had been joking earlier, with her slightly blasphemous comment, but Erin was considering it. Glancing at Natty in her sexy angel costume, she was really, really considering it.

“So… Now what?” Sarah asked, looking around the living room.

Coming back from the kitchen with two full glasses, Ashley handed one of them to Erin, then said, “What do you mean now what?”

“We are all dressed up… to do what, exactly?” The girl asked.

“We need to take some pictures, for one thing,” Natty said.

“More evidence to be grounded forever,” Erin said, grinning. When Sarah gave her a curious look, Erin explained, “the SD card in the hiding spot. I- we- would be in a lot of trouble if my parents ever found that hiding spot.”

“I still can’t believe you talked me into posing in the lingerie,” Sarah said, shaking her head.

“I didn’t have to try very hard,” Erin said, grinning at her.

“You took pictures in the black lingerie?” Natty asked Sarah.

“Um, yeah,” Sarah said, blushing.

Picking up the camera from the coffee table, Natty turned it on. While it warmed up, she asked, “Can I see?”

“We took them in our world,” Sarah said.

It was Mindy who said, “This place and ours is linked in weird ways. The SD card in that camera is one of them. Doesn’t matter which place you take the picture, they still end up on the card. So, Natty could see your picture… Pictures.”

“Oh,” Sarah said, her cheeks red. Shrugging she said, “I guess you can look at them, if you want.”

Smiling playfully at her, Natty said, “Why wouldn’t I want to? You had to look amazing in it.”

Sarah’s eyes widened in surprise, and she looked away in embarrassment. Still, she was smiling. Erin saw it and had to laugh. Natty had a way of doing that to you.

Natty pulled up Sarah’s photos on the camera, and her smile turned up even more as she scrolled through them. Coming to the last one, she turned her beautiful eyes on Sarah, said, “Wow.”

“She did look wow, didn’t she?” Mindy teased, putting her arm around Sarah’s waist.

“Anyway,” Sarah said, wanting to change the subject.

Natty switched the camera mode, pointed it at Sarah and Mindy, said, “Say cheese.”

The flash went off, and Natty brought the camera over to show them the picture. Erin looked at the picture over Sarah’s shoulder, smiling at how cute they were together. Sarah and Mindy had a real affection for each other, something even the digital camera could capture.

They spent the next fifteen minutes taking photos, laughing and joking about each picture. The poses they struck ranged from lewd to downright raunchy. Even Sarah- the most modest among them- joined in, even if her cheeks were red at first. She seemed to relax a little more each time the camera flash went off.

“You are going to delete those, right?” Sarah asked.

“Nope,” Natty said, sitting on the couch. Pulling the SD card out of the camera, she popped it into her laptop. As the files started to transfer, she grinned at Sarah, said, “I wouldn’t have taken the picture if I intended to delete it.”

Erin saw Sarah chewing on her lip nervously, said, “Don’t worry. It’s the same as the SD card in my hiding spot. The only people who will ever see them was standing here when they were taken.”

“I promise not to put these up on my Facebook page,” Natty said, grinning at Sarah.

Laughing, Sarah said, “I appreciate that.”

“I wouldn’t mind being your friend, though,” Natty said.

“Send me a request,” Sarah said, smiling at her.

Natty pulled the SD card out of the laptop, slipping it back into the camera. She started to close the computer, then hesitated, said, “We need some music.”

“Yeah,” Ashley agreed.

Natty started some music playing, and Erin had to laugh at Sarah reaction. The girl must have been expecting something from Natty’s era in music, but what spilled from the laptop’s speakers was Three Days Grace.

“Natty has picked up some modern tastes,” Erin said.

“I see that,” Sarah said, laughing, “I was expecting something completely different.”

“Erin has gotten me into some of her music,” Natty said, then laughed, “Ashley’s tastes are still a bit too much for me. Mindy’s too.”

Smiling at her, Sarah said, “You probably wouldn’t like my music, either then.”

“Are you a… how did Mindy put it? A metal head?”

“Yeah,” Sarah said.

“You two are perfect for each other,” Natty said.

Sarah snuggled against Mindy, said, “I think so, too.”

Unable to resist, Erin said, “Aww.”

Laughing, Mindy said, “Shut up.”

Erin put her arm around Ashley and asked, “What now?”

“I don’t know,” the redhead said.

“The party was your idea,” Sarah reminded her.

“I know,” Ashley said, looking around the living room, “too bad we can’t play some Mario Kart. You still owe me a rematch.”

“Still looking for that ass whupping, huh?” Sarah teased.

“Why can’t we play Mario Kart?” Erin asked, getting an idea.

“Are you thinking about thinking your TV here?” Mindy asked, looking at her.

“I’m thinking about it,” Erin said, making the girl laugh.

“What are you two talking about?” Sarah asked, looking to Mindy for an explanation.

“You are about to see something pretty crazy,” Mindy said, smiling at her.

Erin closed her eyes and pictured her TV and Nintendo Wii, fixed the image of it in her head. She felt the change in air pressure, heard the hiss of escaping air. Sarah gasped in surprise, and Erin opened her eyes to see her TV and game system sitting on the couch next to Natty. She glanced at Sarah, saw the girl’s eyes were in danger of falling out of her head they were open so wide.

Laughing, she said, “Ta-da!”

“You know,” Sarah said, shaking her head, “you hear someone say they can do something crazy and you just sort of accept it even if you don’t completely believe it, then you see it really happen… That was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“Over here,” Erin said, gesturing around the living room but meaning the Place of Locked Doors in its entirety, “we have a degree of… influence. We can open doors Natty can’t; we can make things appear from our plane of existence on this one just by thinking them here; hell, Ashley accidentally colored her hair once.”

“She makes a cute brunette,” Natty said, grinning.

Looking around the room, Sarah asked, “And you all can do it?”

“All of us from the other side,” Ashley said, then added, “which means you can, too… Most likely, anyway. I don’t know if there are any absolutes in this place. You might be the exception to the rule, or be the one to prove it isn’t a rule at all.”

“How do you do it?” Sarah asked.

“Close your eyes and think about something… Anything you want. Really focus on it, make it the center of your thoughts,” Erin said.

Snorting, Ashley said, “You sound like some new age hippy type.”

Sarah laughed, “It can’t be that easy.”

“I don’t know why it works, but it does,” Erin said, shrugging.

Sarah looked at her for a long moment, then shrugged herself. She closed her eyes and her brow furrowed as she concentrated. Like before, Erin felt the change in the air as it rushed out of this plane of existence. Out of nowhere, pages of printer paper fell in a mess on the floor of the living room.

Laughing, Sarah said, “Son of a bitch. It works!”

“The rule still stands,” Ashley said, then gave Natty a pout, “sorry, Natty. You are the only one who can’t do it.”

Mindy bent over and started picking up the pages. Looking at them, she asked, “What are these?”

“I found some information on how to repair the generator and water pump at the cabin,” Sarah said, helping Mindy gather the rest of the printouts.

“Really?” Mindy asked, interested.

Rubbing the back of her neck nervously, Sarah said, “My dad helped me.”

“He knows about the cabin?” Mindy asked.

“Not where it is,” Sarah said, in a hurry, “just about the generator set up. He caught me with some of his repair manuals, wanted to know why I had them. When I explained why, he helped me look this stuff up. He’s going to buy me whatever I need to fix everything.”

“Really?” Mindy said, sounding excited.

“There’s a catch,” Sarah said, groaning, “I’m going to have to work off the cost of the parts, either doing chores or helping him on the weekends.”

“That sucks,” Mindy said, then grinned at her, “I’ll make it worth the while if you get the shower up and running.”

Erin had been listening to the conversation, and she finally had to butt in, “You know, we keep hearing a lot about this cabin, but Ashley and I have never been there. What gives?”

“I really haven’t been out there much since we’ve become friends,” Mindy said, then laughed, “although I guess there has been an uptick in visits recently.”

Sarah leaned in and gave her a kiss, said, “And more to come when I’m not grounded.”

To Erin, Mindy said, “I’ll take you two there, if you want to see it.”

“It’s not too far from the pond,” Sarah said.

Laughing, Erin asked, “Did you tell Mindy what happened to you at the pond this summer?”

Sarah laughed self-consciously, said, “No.”

“What happened at the pond?” Mindy asked, raising her eyebrows.

“I’ll tell you later,” Sarah said.

“What was the teacher’s name?” Ashley asked.

“Miss Diaz,” Sarah said, her cheeks turning red.

“The Spanish teacher?” Mindy asked, frowning, “what about her?”

“I’ll tell you about it later,” Sarah said, giving Erin and Ashley a look that said, shut up, already.

Laughing, Erin said, “Let’s get this stuff hooked up, so we can play some Mario Kart.”

“What exactly is Mario Kart?” Natty asked, looking at the flat screen, “Is this a TV?”

“Yeah,” Erin said, smiling at her, “not what you were expecting, huh?”

“No,” Natty said, pulling the laptop onto her knees. She typed something in, then turned the computer so everyone could see the picture, “this is what TVs used to look like.”

“The screen is so small,” Ashley said, shaking her head, “but the TV is huge.”

With Ashley’s help, Erin made short work of setting up the TV and Nintendo. Powering on both, Erin grabbed one of the controllers and walked over to Natty. She quickly showed the girl how the two parts of the controller worked, then started a race so Natty could try it out. For someone who had grown up playing video games, it was funny to watch Natty try to get the hang of pushing buttons and moving joysticks. Poor girl couldn’t stay on the course to save her life, but she had a smile on her face and look of pure wonder in her eyes. Erin had to smile, too. Introducing modern marvels to Natty never got old.

“This is amazing,” Natty said, laughing excitedly, “I would never have imagined such a thing could exist. I mean, I saw the ads for video games online but to play one… Amazing.”

“Well, I’m glad you like it,” Erin said, laughing as the girl drove off a bridge and into the water, “we’ll need to work on your hand and eye coordination, though.”

“I guess so,” Natty said, handing the controller to Erin, “maybe I’ll just watch you all to see how it’s done.”

“Come on Sarah,” Ashley said, taking the controller out of Erin’s hand, “it’s time for our rematch.”

“You are that eager to lose, huh?” Sarah teased.

“We’ll see who loses,” Ashley said.

Erin sat next to Natty on the couch, leaned in close and said, “These two are hilarious to watch. Sarah is better at Mario Kart, and it drives Ashley’s competitive side nuts. Sometimes, just watching them play is more entertaining than actually playing.”

“Okay,” Natty said, grinning.

Ashley really must have been practicing because she was soon out in front of Sarah with a comfortable lead after the first lap. Erin leaned forward, wondering if this was going to be the time for Ashley to beat Sarah finally. Two laps in and Ashley still had the lead. With just the final lap to go, Ashley only had to keep her kart on the track, and the race was hers.

The finish line came into view, and Ashley said, “And that, Ladies, is how you do-”

Out of nowhere, a shell slammed into her cart from behind, sending it flipping through the air. Sarah’s character buzzed by, winning the race at the last second. Ashley just looked at the screen for a long moment, then looked at Sarah, who was trying not to laugh.

“Asshole,” Ashley said.

Laughing, Sarah said, “You’ve gotten better.”

“I had you.”

“Almost had me,” Sarah corrected.

“I want a rematch,” Ashley said.

“We should let Erin and Mindy play,” Sarah said.

“That’s okay,” Mindy said, sitting beside Erin, “knock yourselves out.”

“Erin?” Sarah asked.

“Go ahead,” Erin said, sipping her wine.

Shrugging, Sarah said, “I guess we’ll go again.”

“Care to make it interesting?” Ashley asked.

“How?” Sarah asked.

“A bet… Say, my costume for yours?” Ashley said, a hint of mischief in her eyes.

“My costume for yours?” Sarah parroted, raising her eyebrows.

“I win, I get your costume. You win, you get mine,” Ashley said.

“Yeah, I don’t think so,” Sarah said, laughing.

“Are you scared?” Ashley asked.

Sarah gave her an ‘Are you serious’ look, then said, “Is that supposed to make me take the bet?”

“I can make some chicken noises, if it’ll help?” Ashley said, with a playful smile.

Sarah glanced at Erin, raised her eyebrows questioningly. Laughing, Erin said, “It’s up to you two.”

Shrugging, Sarah said, “Why not? It’s a bet. Just don’t chicken out when you have to give up your costume.”

“Oh, I’m not the one getting naked,” Ashley said, with a confidence her past performances didn’t support.

Unless Ashley can pull off the upset of upsets, she’s going to be walking around naked for the rest of the party, Erin thought, then remembered she was supposed to play the part of the supportive girlfriend.

“You’ve got this, Babe,” Erin called, clapping.

Ashley smiled warmly at her and Erin thought, Am I a good girlfriend or what?

For their second race, they picked a different track. It was a much closer race this time, with Ashley taking and losing the lead a couple of times. Erin was leaning forward again, holding her breath each time Sarah’s kart pulled ahead. It was neck and neck coming into the final lap, so close it was almost a tie. Ashley started to pull ahead on the final stretch, and Erin looked down at Sarah’s part of the split screen. Sarah didn’t have a shell up her sleeve this time.

Ready to jump up and celebrate with her girlfriend, Erin gasped as she saw a trio of banana peels spread out on the track. Ashley saw it, too, but the trap was so well laid it still got her. Her cart spun out of control, and Sarah managed to squeak by and take the checkered flag.

“Shit,” Ashley said, shaking her head, “I knew that was there. I saw you put it down earlier, but I forgot about it.”

“You get a little speed boost when you take that corner in the inside lane,” Sarah said, grinning, “that’s why I put my trap there.”

“You have a very devious mind,” Ashley said, then shook her head as she untied her costume top. Shrugging out of it, she tossed it to Sarah. She ran the zipper down on the tiny skirt, then wriggled it off her hips. She picked the skirt off the floor and handed it to Sarah. Looking down at the stockings on her legs, Ashley asked, “Do you want the stockings, too?”

Swallowing hard, Sarah said, “Um, no. You can keep them.”

Erin had to smile as Sarah tried to look everywhere but at Ashley’s naked body. It was her cheeks that were red, even though it should be Ashley’s. There was really only one reason for Sarah to be embarrassed and that was that she found Ashley attractive. And why wouldn’t she? Ashley was beautiful and naked, a redheaded wonder to behold.

Sarah held the costume out, said, “You can have this back.”

Ashley grinned at her, having seen the same thing Erin did. She shook her head, said, “A bet’s a bet. The costume is yours.”

Sarah looked at the costume in her hand for a moment, then set it on the coffee table and picked up her wine. Erin smiled when the girl took a healthy pull of the deep red alcohol. The redhead had rattled Sarah something fierce.

“How about double or nothing?” Ashley asked.

Laughing, Sarah said, “You don’t have anything left to bet with.”

Erin looked from one girl to the other, then said, “She can bet with my costume.”

“What?” Sarah said, looking at Erin in surprise.

“If she wins, she gets her costume back, plus yours,” Erin said, grinning at her, “if she loses, you get my costume.”

“Are you sure?” Ashley asked, meeting Erin’s eyes.

Smiling at her, Erin said, “Yeah. Just make sure you win.”

“Double or nothing?” Ashley asked, looking at Sarah.

“Are you really going to risk Erin walking around naked, too?” Sarah asked.

“I’m covering her bet,” Erin said, getting up and putting her arms around her girlfriend, “are you going to race her or not?”

“Let’s do it,” Sarah said, laughing and shaking her head, “just remember this was your idea when you are as naked as she is.”

Erin gave Sarah playful smile, said, “I’m not shy.”

Sarah’s eyes widened in surprise and Erin winked at her before giving Ashley a kiss. Pulling back, she said, “Good luck, Babe.”

Returning to her spot on the couch, Erin noticed Mindy giving her a look. She gave the brunette a sheepish grin and shrugged, said, “It’s technically not cheating.”

“You should still be ashamed of yourself,” Mindy said, smiling.

“Probably,” Erin said, laughing.

“Don’t let them get in your head, Babe,” Mindy called.

Sarah nodded, very deliberately not looking at Ashley.

“Ashley’s in her head,” Mindy said.

“Yep,” Erin said, grinning.

“I’m not sure Sarah’s ready for this,” Mindy said.

“Oh, I think she’ll be okay,” Erin disagreed, thinking, red faced, but okay.

“Eventually, yeah,” Mindy said, meaning something completely different.

Erin gave her a curious look, then asked, “Do you think she’ll be ‘okay’ by Ashley’s birthday?”

Mindy thought about it, then said, “Maybe.”

“Maybe?” Erin parroted, raising her eyebrows.

“I think she’s a lot closer to ‘yes’ than I expected her to be,” Mindy said.

Erin’s smile widened, and she leaned closer to ask, “Are you going to try to sell her on it?”

“No,” Mindy said, then laughed, “but I hope she gets there on her own.”

“I think this party will be another nudge in the right direction,” Erin said.

Giving her a funny look, Mindy asked, “Is it really the right direction?”

“I miss you,” Erin said, honestly, “so yeah.”

Surprised, Mindy said, “I-I miss you, too. Ashley and Natty, too.”

“We miss you, too,” Natty said, smiling at her around Erin, “but you are right- she needs to get there on her own.”

Laughing, Erin said, “I ‘got there’ because of you, remember?”

“I didn’t have to twist your arm very hard,” Natty said, flashing a playful smile at Erin.

“No, I guess you didn’t,” Erin said, thinking back to how easy it had been for Natty to seduce her. She definitely hadn’t put up much of fight.

“Shit!” Sarah suddenly said.

“Uh oh,” Ashley said, laughing.

Erin looked at the TV, saw Sarah had slipped into third place, while Ashley was out in the lead. It was the third lap, so Sarah had a lot of ground to make up in a hurry. Smiling, Erin nudged Mindy, said, “Your girlfriend is about to be naked.”

“I know,” Mindy said.

“Come on,” Sarah said, trying to coax more speed out of her cart by talking to the screen. It didn’t seem to help any.

The finish line appeared on Ashley’s screen and the redhead whoop with excitement. As her character crossed that checkered line, she started doing her victory dance.

Sarah just looked at the screen a moment, then said, “Shit.”

“I do believe, you owe me a costume,” Natty said, grinning at her.

“Double or nothing?” Sarah asked.

Laughing, Ashley said, “Pay up first.”

“Shit,” Sarah said, taking a deep breath and pulling the costume up and over her head. She hugged it to herself for a second, then thrust it out to Ashley. The redhead snagged it, and Sarah put her arm across her breasts.

“No panties?” Ashley asked.

“Um, long story,” Sarah said, blushing.

“I like long stories,” Ashley said.

Mindy appeared at Sarah’s side, said, “My costume is a bit more revealing than hers, so to make it fairer no panties.”

“That costume was awfully short for no underwear,” Ashley said.

“I know,” Sarah said, embarrassed.

“Ah,” Ashley said, grinning, “you are going to fit in this club just fine.”

“So are we going to race again?” Sarah asked.

“I don’t know,” Ashley said, looking her up and down, “what do you have to bet with?”

“I think,” Erin said, getting off the couch, “you two have hogged the game long enough. It’s my and Mindy’s turn.”

Sarah looked at her for a long moment, then laughed and shook her head, “I’m not getting my costume back, am I?”

“Probably not,” Erin said, taking the controller from her and handing it to Mindy, “good news is, I don’t think you’ll be the only two naked for long.”

Laughing, Mindy said, “What? Are we playing strip Mario Kart, now?”

“Unless you are scared?” Erin teased.

“I’m already one stiff breeze away from being naked, anyway,” Mindy said, looking down at herself, “what do I have to lose?”

Sarah looked at Mindy, then at Erin, asked, “Are you two serious?”

Smiling, Erin said, “These get-togethers have a way of becoming clothing optional.”

“What do think, Natty?” Mindy asked, looking back at the girl sitting on the couch, “do you want to play strip Mario Kart?”

Natty laughed, “I might as well save some time and take my costume off now.”

“That’s the spirit,” Ashley said, laughing.

“Well, if we are all running around naked,” Sarah said, picking up her glass, “I’m going to need more of this.”

“Help yourself,” Natty said.

While Sarah was out of the room, Mindy said to Erin, “I know what you are up to.”

“Just a little nudge,” Erin said.

“Uh huh,” Mindy said, laughing. Nodding at the TV screen, she asked, “Are you any good at this?”

“Sarah and I go back and forth on wins,” Erin said, taking the other controller from Ashley.

“Oh,” Mindy said, laughing, “maybe I should play Natty, then.”

Grinning, Erin said, “There really isn’t a loser- you’ll just be naked a little faster than me.”

“Was that a consolation or trash talk?” Mindy asked, giving her a look.

“A little of both,” Erin laughed.

“Let’s just race,” Mindy said.

Sarah appeared at Mindy’s side, whispered something in her ear. Mindy started grinning, gave the girl a kiss. She looked a whole lot more confident when she turned back to Erin.

“What was that? What did she tell you?” Erin asked.

“She gave me a little inside information,” Mindy said, opening the track menu.

Erin watched as the girl picked her least favorite track. Giving Sarah a sour look, she said, “You suck.”

Laughing, Sarah said, “It’s not my fault you can’t drive this track.”

She didn’t know what it was about this track, but it never failed to give her trouble. She even knew where all the pitfalls were, but she still had issues with avoiding them. Seeing Mindy select the hardest setting, Erin’s confidence wavered even more.

Ashley put her arm around Erin’s waist, whispered in her ear, “If you beat her, I’ll let you be the monkey instead of me.”

Smiling at her, Erin said, “Can I have a kiss for good luck?”

The redhead gave her a toe-curling kiss, then said, “Good luck.”

“Right,” Erin husked, her heart racing. Taking a deep breath, Erin said to Mindy, “Ready?”

“Ready,” Mindy said, hitting the button on her controller to start the race.

Lakitu on his cloud appeared above the track, holding his stoplight. When the light turned green, the race would be underway. Erin really wasn’t worried about losing her costume- like she had said to Sarah, she isn’t shy- but she really wanted to win this race. Not so much to beat Mindy but to beat the track itself. This particular course has bruised her pride more than once, and she wanted to prove she could best it.

The light turned green, and they were off. Erin found herself playing the track a little too carefully and Mindy easily pulled ahead of her. Cursing under her breath, she mashed the gas button. The last thing she wanted to have to do was make up ground on this course. Worse, Mindy was actually pretty good.

I think she is a pool shark, Erin thought, dodging a banana peel trap the brunette had set, or a Mario Kart shark, I guess.

“You think you should play Natty, huh?” Erin said.

Laughing, Mindy said, “At least I didn’t ask if you wanted to put money on it.”

“Uh huh,” Erin said, falling in behind the girl’s cart. Drafting, she was gaining back some of the ground she had lost.

“Besides, betting our costumes was your idea,” Mindy reminded her.

“I know,” Erin said, launching her green shell at just the right moment. She buzzed by Mindy as she tumbled through the air. Laughing, she said, “You’ll be naked like your girlfriend before long.”

“We’ll see about that,” Mindy said, confidently “there is still plenty of race left.”

Mindy’s confidence made her nervous. It didn’t sound like Ashley’s bravado, but the real thing. She made the mistake of looking at Mindy’s screen and saw the girl was right on her tail. Erin wasn’t sure which was worse, trying to maintain the lead or regain it. She kept expecting a payback shell to come flying her way.

They passed over the checkered finish line for the second lap, with one more to go. Mindy was right on her six, the nose of her cart in Erin’s screen, she was so close. One mistake and Erin would lose her lead. This track was stressful enough without Mindy breathing down her neck. Her heart was racing.

“She has a blue shell!” Ashley said, anxiously.

The dreaded blue shell, a homing shell that would follow the next person in the ranking relentlessly. Erin mashed the gas button as hard as she could, not that it would make any difference. She was already going as fast as she could. Her only hope was to pass over the finish line before the shell found her. The problem was, Mindy was right on her ass, still. She didn’t have any ground to shake the shell, if the brunette launched it.

She wasn’t completely defenseless. Her last trip around the track, she had picked up a three pack of banana peels. Mindy was right behind her, and she thought if she dropped them, the girl wouldn’t have time to avoid them. Swerving to the inside of the track, she started laying down banana peels as she moved back toward the center.

“Shit!” Mindy said.

Erin risked a glance at Mindy’s screen, saw her kart spinning out of control. She breathed a little easier, but knew she wasn’t out of danger. Once the girl regained control, the blue shell was sure to be heading her way. Erin drove like her life depended on it, hoping to open up some distance between herself and Mindy.

“Here comes the shell!” Ashley said.

Coming around the bend, Erin saw the finish line up ahead. No more obstacles on this stretch of track, so it was just a race between her and the blue homing shell. She realized she wasn’t going to make it, so she dumped on the brake and let the shell hit her. She recovered as quickly as she could, but Sarah still pulled up beside her.

“This is too close to watch!” Ashley said.

Erin and Mindy were side by side as they crossed the finish line, but the game system gave the win to Mindy.

“Oh, come on,” Erin said.

“We tied,” Mindy said, laughing.

“I know, but it gave you the win,” Erin said, sourly.

“We tied,” Mindy repeated.

“Are you sure?” Erin asked, meeting the girl’s eyes.

“It was just an excuse to get naked, anyway,” Mindy said, grinning at her, “How about we both lost?”

“You are really going to give up your costume?” Sarah asked, giving Mindy a look.

Winking at her, Mindy said, “I’m not shy, either.”

“Wow,” Sarah said, laughing, “this has gone from a lingerie party to a naked party in a hurry.”

“That happens a lot here,” Erin said, then to Mindy, “You technically won, so it’s up to you.”

Mindy didn’t answer, just started stripping out of her costume. Grinning, Erin did the same. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sarah shaking her head. Laughing, she balled up her mini dress and threw it at the girl. Sarah caught it out of the air, looked down at it. When the girl looked back at Erin, her eyes lingered a little too long. Sarah caught herself and looked away in a hurry.

I think Mindy is right, Erin thought, grinning, Sarah just might be interested in joining in the free for all.

“I don’t want to be the oddball out,” Natty said, slipping her halo from her head.

Erin watched as Natty slipped out of her costume. Again, she felt a twinge of desire for the girl. Like Sarah, her eyes lingered a little too long, and she glanced at Ashley, guiltily. The girl was smiling at her, and she nodded. Erin saw in Ashley’s beautiful eyes that she was okay with Natty joining them. Erin nodded, too.

“So we are all naked now,” Sarah said, looking around the room. Either the wine had knocked her inhibitions down, or she was getting comfortable with herself and everyone else being naked because her cheeks were no longer red and she wasn’t fighting the urge to cover herself. Nor was she trying to avoid looking at all the skin on display.

Grinning at her, Erin said, “Now it’s a party!”

——————————————-

The party was winding down, and Erin was pretty sure everyone was more than a little tipsy. Erin leaned in and whispered in Natty’s ear, “Ashley and I are going upstairs.”

Smiling, Natty said, “Help yourselves.”

“We want you to come with us,” Erin said, putting her arms around the girl’s waist.

“Are you sure?” Natty asked, meeting her eyes.

“Oh, yeah,” Erin said, then to Ashley who was standing a little bit apart, “Natty’s coming with us.”

“Good,” Ashley said, smiling playfully.

Sarah looked at Erin with her arm around Natty, her eyes widening slightly. Erin could see the wheels turning in the girl’s head, and it made her smile. This little party had put all kinds of thoughts in Sarah’s head, Erin was guessing.

Unable to resist, she said, “Are you sure you two want to go next door? You could join us.”

Sarah inhaled sharply, her eyes widening even more. Her reaction was comical, and Erin had to laugh. She managed to look both relieved and disappointed when she realized Erin was only teasing.

Mindy put her arm around Sarah’s waist, said, “Maybe next time.”

“Until then,” Erin said, meeting Sarah’s eyes, “have fun, ladies. We’ll be upstairs if you change your mind.”

Mindy was leading Sarah toward the front door, when Sarah suddenly looked down and realized she was still naked. Stopping, she said, “Shouldn’t we get dressed?”

“Why?” Mindy asked, with a playful grin.

“Why?” Sarah parroted, blinking dumbly at Mindy.

“Getting dressed would be a waste of time,” Mindy said, kissing her, “we’d just have to get undressed, again.”

“But we are going next door,” Sarah said, laughing, “and I’m naked. We are naked!”

“It’s okay,” Mindy said, winking at her, “Natty doesn’t have any neighbors.”

“No neighbors?” Sarah said, then her eyes widened, “Right! Now Ashley’s comment about running naked in the streets makes more sense.”

“That’s the best part of the Place of Locked Doors,” Erin said, laughing, “clothing is optional.”

“Still feels weird,” Sarah said, shaking her head.

Erin watched as Mindy and Sarah left, then turned to Ashley and Natty. Grinning, she asked, “Did you see the look on Sarah’s face when I asked if they wanted to join us?”

“Yeah,” Ashley said, laughing. Sobering up some, Ashley gave her a curious look, asked, “What was that all about, anyway?”

Realizing Ashley hadn’t been a part of the conversation about Sarah, Erin gave her a sheepish smile, said, “Um, we- Mindy, Natty, and I- were talking about your birthday and how Sarah was really starting to fit in with the group… You know, the old group.”

“Ah,” Ashley said, then started laughing, “so you are pushing for another birthday party like you had.”

“Unless you don’t want one,” Erin said, meeting Ashley’s eyes. Belatedly, she realized she had been teasing Sarah towards something Ashley might not want any more. How messed up would be to get Sarah on board only to have her girlfriend not be?

Ashley just smiled at her, said, “Did you see Sarah’s expression change when she realized you were just messing with her?”

“Yeah,” Erin said, waiting to see if Ashley had seen the same thing she had.

“She was thinking about it,” Ashley said, her smile widening.

“We definitely put the thought in her head,” Erin agreed. Ashley had seen the disappointment in Sarah’s eyes, too.

“Sarah is kind of sneaky hot,” Ashley said.

“It was hard to tell under her baggy shirts and jeans,” Erin said, then laughed, “although we weren’t really looking before. She could have been a supermodel before I met Natty and I wouldn’t have noticed.”

“So it’s my fault you find your friend attractive?” Natty asked, playfully.

Smiling at her, Erin said, “Yes.”

“My bad,” Natty said, laughing, “isn’t that what you always say, Ashley?”

“It is, and it is your bad,” Ashley said, then to Erin, “You’d be okay with me having a birthday party like that?”

“If you’d want to,” Erin said, meeting her eyes, “we sort of made a promise that we’d get together on everyone’s birthday. If Sarah is on board…”

Moving against Erin, Ashley said, “You are the best girlfriend ever.”

“Probably,” Erin said, grinning at her.

“Let’s go upstairs,” Ashley said.

“Yeah,” Erin said, then to Natty, “come on.”

As they headed upstairs to Natty’s bedroom, Ashley said, “You know, you threw away your chance to be the monkey by taking the tie with Mindy.”

“Maybe we should let Natty be the monkey. I don’t think she has ever been,” Erin said.

“Huh,” Ashley said, frowning, “I think you are right about that. It is definitely your turn, Natty.”

Just inside Natty’s room, Erin wrapped her arms around the girl from behind. She kissed Natty’s shoulder, then moved her hair aside to kiss the graceful curve of her neck. The girl sighed, pressing back into her. Erin cupped Natty’s breasts, kneading them until the girl groaned. Looking over Natty’s shoulder, she saw Ashley watching them. The redhead’s eyes were bright with excitement.

With a smile, Erin thought, My girlfriend is kind of kinky.

Erin let one of her hands slip down Natty’s stomach and between her thighs. Moving her fingers tight little circles, she drew a moan from Natty. Erin was still looking at Ashley, saw the girl was getting turned on by what she was doing Natty. Erin began to wonder if the girl was just going to watch or join them. Ashley watched a couple of seconds longer, then the girl came to them. She kissed Erin over Natty’s shoulder, then put her hands on Natty’s cheeks to kiss her deeply. Natty moaned into her kiss, the pressure on her bud making it hard for her to focus on kissing Ashley back. Her hips were moving, pushing against Erin’s hand eagerly.

Ashley suddenly moaned, and Erin looked around Natty to see why. She smiled when she saw Natty’s hand on Ashley’s breast. The space between Natty and Ashley evaporated, and the redhead’s pussy was pressed against the back of Erin’s hand. As she teased Natty’s bud, her knuckles were also teasing Ashley’s. Both girls were rubbing against her hand, their little sounds of excitement dueling in the air above them.

Natty reached behind her and Erin moaned as her hand found her bud. The lovely friction sent pleasure coursing through her young body, and her moans and sighs joined the others. Smiling, she realized they were all tangled up, legs and arms everywhere as they explored and teased each other. It was Natty’s hand between her thighs, but she thought it was Ashley’s on her buttock. Natty’s other hand was on Ashley’s breast, and Ashley’s free hand was on the back of Natty’s neck, holding her to a kiss neither one of them was having much luck maintaining.

Natty is right, Erin thought, kissing the girl’s neck, it really is complicated with more than two people… Fun, though.

Ashley broke her kiss with Natty, gave the girl a sexy smile that lit up her green eyes, and sank to her knees in front of the blonde. Erin moved her hand from between Natty’s legs, and Ashley’s mouth took its place. The hot caress of Ashley’s tongue had Natty in a state, her body pushing against Ashley’s mouth eagerly.

Erin put her hand on the back of Ashley’s head, pushing her against Natty’s pussy. The girl rolled her eyes up, and Erin saw how it turned the girl on. Mindy’s words popped into Erin’s head, about it being up to her to stroke Ashley’s kinky side. There was no denying Ashley had one and Erin knew if she pushed the right buttons, her girlfriend would get more out of this. She didn’t think she’d be as good at it as Mindy, but she thought she could get the girl going a little.

“Does Natty taste good down there?” Erin asked, her own cheeks a little hot with embarrassment. She was still getting used to talking dirty.

“Yeah,” Ashley said, smiling up at her.

“Tell her,” Erin said.

“Your pussy tastes so good,” Ashley said, with an excited giggle. Her beautiful emerald eyes were alight as she returned her attention to Natty’s bud. Erin was amused at how easy it was to push those buttons for Ashley.

Erin put her hand on Natty’s cheek, turned her head so she could kiss her. Her hand slipped down to cup one of Natty’s small breasts, kneading it until the girl groaned into her kiss. Erin trapped her straining nipples between her fingers, gently teased them until Natty couldn’t take anymore and had to break the kiss.

Kissing Natty behind the ear, she whispered, “Where do you keep your vibrator?”

“In the nightstand,” Natty said around a moan.

Erin walked over to the nightstand, pulling out the drawer. She smiled when she saw the doppelganger of Ashley’s vibrator, but also her strap-on. She started to reach for the vibrator, then changed her mind. Picking up the harness, instead, she closed the door. Stepping into the panty, she secured the straps to her hips and adjusted it until it was comfortably in place.

Natty eyes went to the strap-on, and she was smiling as her eyes returned to Erin’s. She watched as Erin moved behind her, again, her eyes bright with excitement. She gasped as the dildo slipped deep inside of her and she craned her neck around to kiss Erin. Natty had to break it as Erin started thrusting into her ready pussy. It must feel good because Natty said something in what Erin assumed was Russian. She had never heard the girl speak it before, so she must be excited if she slipped back into it now.

Smiling, Erin whispered in her ear, “Does that mean this feels good?”

Natty laughed, “Yes.”

“I thought so,” Erin said, thrusting her hips forward faster. She put her hands on the girl’s hips, pulling her back into each thrust. Each time the dildo bit deep, it forced a little cry from Natty. The girl covered Erin’s hands with her own, squeezing them as she really started to feel good.

With the dildo moving inside of her and Ashley’s able tongue teasing her bud, the sounds of Natty’s enjoyment were filling the bedroom. They only got louder as she got closer and closer to climaxing. Erin didn’t think the girl could last long, not with so many lovely things happening to her. Sure enough, Erin felt Natty start to come, the girl’s hands nearly crushing hers she was squeezing them so tight. One, two, three more thrusts of the dildo and Natty orgasmed hard, her whole body jerking. Erin wrapped the girl up in her arms, held her as she lost herself in her ecstasy. She could feel the girl trembling with it.

Ashley got to her feet, wiping her cheeks. She gave Natty a lingering kiss, then took the girl’s hand and led her to the bed. Natty gasped as the dildo slipped out of her, her body still sensitive. Her legs looked a little wobbly as she followed the redhead. At Ashley’s urging, Natty stretched out on her back on the bed, half propped up on the headboard. Putting her hand on the inside of Natty’s knees, Ashley pushed the girl’s legs up and open. Ashley moved into position, and Natty bit her lit as Ashley’s body nested against hers. She looked a little dazed from the orgasm she had just had and didn’t seem ready for what the redhead had in mind.

Smiling, Erin joined them on the bed, said, “Take it slow, Ash.”

“I know,” Ashley said, slowly working her hips back and forth. Slow or not, it drew a gasp from Natty, her eyes wide.

She definitely hasn’t recovered from the last one, Erin thought. The slow roll of Ashley’s hips had to be a sweet torture on her still very sensitive bud. Erin smiled as Natty’s back arched off the bed and she grabbed at the sheets.

Ashley kept it nice and slow for a while, let Natty at least catch her breath if not completely get herself under control. Erin was mesmerized by the sensual roll of her hips for a moment, found herself just watching as Ashley ground against Natty. There was something incredibly sexy in the sway of her pale body.

The spell finally broken, Erin moved to the girl’s side, kissing her deeply. Ashley’s hips never stopped moving as they kissed. Getting an idea, Erin moved behind the girl. She eased the dildo into Ashley, trapping the redhead between them. Ashley’s eyes were wide as she looked over her shoulder at Erin. Smiling, Erin pushed her hips forward, rocking Ashley forward too. Her smile widened when both Ashley and Natty moaned.

“Natty’s supposed to be in the middle,” Ashley said.

“Then you better not enjoy this,” Erin said, pushing her hips forward, again.

“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” Ashley said, her voice thick with excitement.

With a little practice, they found a rhythm that worked for both Ashley and Natty. The knot on the back of the strap-on felt good rubbing against her bud, but Erin didn’t think she felt anywhere near as good as those two. Their cries of enjoyment were competing to be the loudest. Erin thought Natty might still be in front, but only because she had a head-start. Ashley was catching up fast, though. The dildo and Natty’s body rubbing against her bud had to feel amazing.

Erin leaned forward and kissed Ashley’s shoulder to get the girl’s attention. Ashley turned her body so Erin could kiss her. She put her hand on the back of Erin’s neck, holding her to the kiss. Every time the dildo moved inside of her, she’d moan into Erin’s mouth, but she didn’t seem to want to stop kissing her. Letting her hands slip up the girl’s flanks, Erin reached around to cup Ashley’s jiggling breasts. Teasing their straining pink nipples, Erin made Ashley arch her back and finally break the kiss. Pulling back, Ashley met Erin’s eyes, and Erin could see how good the girl was feeling.

“You better not come before Natty does,” Erin said.

“I don’t think I can help it,” Ashley said, her face pinched in pleasure. The redhead turned to Natty, said, “Please hurry.”

Erin saw Natty wasn’t too far off herself, but not as close as Ashley. Erin smiled as the redhead struggled with her body, trying to slow down the tension building up inside. She really didn’t care who came first, but she knew it would only excite Ashley more trying to wait.

I think I’m getting the hang of this. Mindy will be proud,, Erin thought.

Ashley was losing the struggle with her orgasm, but she had held out just long enough. Erin heard Natty cry out sharply, saw the girl’s back arch off the bed as she came. Erin thrust one more time hard into Ashley, and the girl finally gave into the orgasm she had been holding at bay. It wasn’t happy about being restrained, and it shook her like a rag doll, left her a trembling, gasping mess atop Natty.

Erin eased out of her, leaned in and kissed her neck gently. Ashley pushed up to her hands and knees, turned her body so she could kiss Erin deeply. She gave Erin a look when their lips parted, and she said, “Asshole.”

“Why am I an asshole?” Erin asked, sweetly.

“You know why,” Ashley said, laughing and shaking her head, “did Mindy put you up to that?”

“She might have mentioned you need to be teased a little bit,” Erin said, smiling at her.

“God, I came so hard,” Ashley said, holding up her hand, “see. I’m still trembling all over.”

“Well, you are welcome,” Erin said, swatting her on the backside.

“Ow,” Ashley said, but her emerald eyes flashed.

Looking around her girlfriend to Natty, Erin said smiled at the even more dazed look on the girl’s face. She didn’t have to ask if Natty had had a good one, too. Noticing Erin looking at her, Natty smiled at her. Erin moved to one side so she could lean in and kiss the girl.

Erin broke the kiss when she felt someone tugging at the strap-on harness. Looking back, she saw Ashley undoing the strap on her left hip. Erin gave her a curious look, and the redhead said, “You’ve had your turn.”

“And what do you plan to do with that?” Erin asked, smiling at her.

“You’ll see,” Ashley said, working the strap on Erin’s right hip free.

Erin stretched out on her back as Ashley slipped into the harness. Propped up on one elbow, she watched as the redhead secure the straps on her hips. Her eyes went to the dildo, and her heart started beating faster with excitement and a little fear. She knew from past experiences that her body could accept the dildo, but it still looked big. She wasn’t as scared as that first time because she knew once it was in, there would only be intense pleasure.

Seeing her looking, Ashley said, “Don’t forget- Natty’s in the middle.”

Erin turned her head and smiled at the girl, said, “You heard her.”

Natty watched as Erin crawled over her and opened the nightstand drawer. Erin pulled out her vibrator, showing it to her. Natty bit her lip, pressing her thighs together. Laughing, Erin moved between her legs and gently pushed them wide open. She set the vibrator on the bed beside her, lowering her mouth to Natty’s bud, instead. As she flicked her tongue back and forth slowly, she thought she could taste Ashley’s pussy juices on the girl.

Erin felt Ashley moving behind her, paused to look over her should at her girlfriend. Ashley put her hands on Erin’s hips, urged her to put her backside in the air. Erin held her breath as the rubber tip of dildo pressed against her opening then gasped as it slipped deep inside. It was huge, but it was all the way inside of her. The first thrust pushed a moan from her slack mouth.

Ashley gave her a playful smile, then pushed Erin’s face back down against Natty’s girlhood. Erin had to smile, thinking she probably had that coming. She returned her attention to Natty’s bud, or as much of it as the dildo moving inside of her would allow her to. Still, the caress of her tongue had Natty moaning and writhing against her mouth.

When it became too hard to focus on using her mouth, Erin reached for the vibrator. She turned the black knob until the shiny shaft came buzzing to life. Leaving it on low, she ran it over Natty’s soft labia, making the girl sigh. When she pressed it against Natty’s bud, her back arched off the bed, and she moaned thickly. Holding it there, Erin eased two fingers into Natty’s sopping wet sex until she found the magic button. Teasing that spongy spot with her fingertips, she drove Natty’s body crazy.

“Oh God,” Natty said, her body trying to escape the lovely things Erin was doing to her, the pleasure was so intense.

Erin was glad for the vibrator. Ashley wasn’t making it easy to focus on pleasuring Natty, her thrusts long and fast. The dildo was hitting all the right spots, and there were times when she forgot to move her fingers inside Natty it felt so good. The buzzing shaft pressed against Natty’s bud kept the girl rocketing toward a third orgasm.

“Oh God,” Natty said, again. Her eyes grew wide as tension started gathering in her abdomen. She nearly sat all the way up before the climax knocked her back down. Erin pulled the vibrator away but didn’t remove her fingers from the girl’s fluttering core. She continued to tease the girl’s g-spot with her fingers, making the girl gasp and her hips jerk. Natty cried out again, another orgasm shaking her whole body. She pushed Erin’s hand away, her body shying away from any more pleasure. Even without Erin’s fingers inside or the vibrator on her bud, Natty’s hips continued to move on their own for awhile. Natty’s eyes were rolled back in her head, and she had a death grip on the sheets the whole time.

Grinning, Erin thought, That looked intense.

Ashley’s hand fell on Erin’s shoulder, pulling her up. On her knees, Erin turned so she could kiss the girl. Or kissed her as best she could. Ashley was really letting her have it with the strap-on, and she couldn’t stop making these wordless sounds of excitement. They only got louder as Ashley’s hand slipped from her hip and between her thighs.

The pressure on her bud from Ashley’s swirling fingers and the thrusting dildo was more than she could handle. It didn’t take long for all of the pleasure washing through her to get the better of her. Ashley thrust once, twice, three times, burying the dildo deep on the third. Erin cried out as her body came apart. Ashley’s arms around her was the only thing that kept her upright. Without them, she would have fallen atop Natty, a panting and trembling mess.

Carefully, Erin eased off the dildo, laughing at how rubbery her legs felt. She glanced at Natty, and the girl just smiled at her. Erin patted her knee, then looked at her girlfriend. The girl was slipping out of the harness, but she paused to lean in and kiss Erin deeply.

“I don’t know about you ladies, but I’m going to need a minute after that,” Erin said.

Laughing, Natty said, “I’m going to need more than a minute.”

“I need a drink,” Ashley said, tossing the strap-on aside.

“I think there is more wine downstairs,” Natty said.

Ashley laughed, “I meant a drink of water, but I like where your head is at.”

“Oh,” Natty said, sheepishly.

“I’m going to grab the wine,” Ashley said, hopping off the bed. Her legs threatened to give out on her, and she turned back to the bed. Smiling at Erin, she said, “You did a number on me, Babe.”

“You, too,” Erin said, shaking her head, “I’m going to be sore tomorrow… Love you, though.”

“Love you, too,” Ashley called as she headed out of the room.

Erin felt Natty looking at her and turned to look at the girl. She raised her eyebrows when she saw Natty was favoring her with a warm smile. Natty looked a little embarrassed as she said, “Thank you.”

“For what?” Erin asked.

“This… For sharing your girlfriend with me,” Natty said, rubbing the back of her neck.

“We told you, you were an honorary third,” Erin reminded her.

“I know… I kind of figured you were just saying it… Well, I’m glad I was wrong, is all,” Natty said.

Smiling at her, Erin said, “Even if it did get… complicated.”

Natty laughed and said, “It did get complicated, didn’t it?”

“Oh we complicated the hell out of it,” Erin said, laughing.

“What are you two talking about?” Ashley appeared with the bottle of wine but no glasses.

Erin laughed as her girlfriend turned the bottle up, then handed it to her. She took a pull of the burgundy liquid, then passed it to Natty. Once she got past the tart bitterness, she answered, “What just happened. Natty didn’t believe us when we said she was an honorary third.”

“You believe us now, don’t you?” Ashley asked, taking the bottle from the girl.

“Yeah,” Natty said, smiling at her.

“Good, because we love you,” Erin said.

“And, we are going to have to do this again,” Ashley said, pointing at Natty with the bottle.

“Definitely,” Natty said, her smile widening.
