Chapter 13

Last night, with Kota next to me, I couldn’t take part in post-lights-out sex, but that was far from horrible, as it had been a long, exhilarating day and Brett and I had just given Rathi and Tonda their first times. I did not need more sex. On my other side, Coach and Marli had some intimacy, but I must have conked out, as I remember little of that. Kota, as per our young-girl rules, had curled into Zahira on her other side, so nothing kept me awake.

This morning, however, I woke to both Coach and Kota wrapped around me, although shortly thereafter, Coach rolled back over and cuddled into Marli. I lay there for a bit, hearing a few very low conversations elsewhere in our bed, but unable to discern individual words. Besides, my mind was focused sharply on my right-side bed neighbor as close to me as physics laws allowed. I simply lay there enjoying the closeness of the LA and TT.

Since the soundscape seemed to involve no getting-out-of-bed sounds, I lay there reveling in the incredible situation in which I found myself, being a lover to so many lovely, dynamic girls. You might question my description and the likelihood that a girls’ soccer team could be comprised solely of very attractive girls. Yes, some are very pretty, but most are not, but they’re all at least somewhat attractive, physically. What I love most about them is their individuality, their pretty minds, and that they focus more among themselves on being friends and teammates.

On my right shoulder, Kota roused, so I turned my head to her and saw when she opened her pretty blue eyes.

“Oh, wow. G’morning, Seamus.”

A thought obviously struck her as concern seemed to creep onto her cute, elfin face.

Since I believed I knew the cause of that concern, I told her, “Morning, Kota. Don’t worry about being snuggled into me. That’s not against the rules. After a night of sleep, it’s considered, ‘no harm, no foul.’”

She relaxed her face, then responded, “Thanks, Seamus, but am I truly allowed to be ... to have so much of myself in contact with you?”

“So long as we’re not doing anything sexual, this is just considered to be a hug in an atypical orientation.”

“Huh. I think I like this ‘hug in an atypical orientation.’ No, I know I like this hug. I’ve never slept next to a guy before. And only with the premier team have I slept with someone on either side of me. I ... I think I really like that. I’ve slept with Kanda somewhat frequently in the past year or so, and that’s something that started getting me out of my shyness. I don’t know how The Team will manage to get frequent sleepovers at Smythe’s, but this ... incredible togetherness here is something I’d like to have with the double T.”

“Kota, despite all the sex I get here, this togetherness is the single aspect of being an LA member that I find most satisfying.”

“Am I really allowed to be wrapped around you like this?”

“You are.”

“Then...”

She squeezed herself even more tightly into me and put her head on my right shoulder. I felt an ... outpouring of love for our newly-dynamic friend at her action, so I placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

Very quietly, I told her, “You’ve become a wonderful girl in the past few months, and I’m very much looking forward to late January.”

“You can’t possibly be looking forward to that more than I am. You girls and your relationship just ... Seamus, I think I ... love all of you girls ... of multiple sexes.”

“Good, because the LA is certainly coming to love this version of the girl we used to call, ‘Dakota.’”

“Kanda started that and with the rest of the team taking it up, I look at my ... new name as an indicator of both my new self-confidence and of the team’s ... the LA’s and The Team’s ... love for me, which only increases my self-confidence.”

“Good. You know, Kota, self-confidence is a very sexy and attractive feature.”

She looked into my eyes, leaned in, placed a peck on my lips, and said, “Thanks, Seamus.”

That brought to mind a different topic, so I asked, “What would your mom think of this?”

She chuckled, then answered, “At ... the start of the premier season, I would have believed she’d have been angry ... at least disappointed. Now, though? Kanda and I have had quite a few talks with our mothers, singly or together, and I was so wrong about my mom ... and Kanda’s mom. I mean, they freaking got us IUDs. I found the first few discussions to be embarrassing, but Mom’s made a point to ... have something of a sex discussion every week or so ... with just me or with Kanda and me, and they’ve become a lot easier to ... deal with. Each discussion has been on a ... sort of separate ... sub-topic, I guess, but she’s...
