Chapter 7

Michelle folded the last piece of laundry and picked up the basket to carry down the hall to her room. She had gone through her chores almost in a daze, still thinking about the wild sex the night before. She was still tender and tried not to limp in front of her mother. What had made her consent to the threesome, she wondered? Was she really gay, or bi-sexual? She didn’t really regret doing it, although if it ever got out she would be too embarrassed to ever show her face again. It was all so damn confusing!

Then there was Steve. She was definitely attracted to him. But he and Angie were together. True, Angie had told her that she was an equal partner in the relationship and that she was free to do whatever with Steve whenever they wanted, but it was still a little ... odd. How long could this go on before someone got jealous? She sighed as she dropped the basket of clothes and began putting them away. This was going to require some more thought. Just then she heard the phone ring and her mother’s voice from down in the basement.

“Michelle! Phone!”

She went out into the kitchen and picked it up. “Got it, Mom!” she called downstairs as she covered the mouthpiece with her hand. There was a click as her mother hung up the extension. “Hello?”

“Hi, Michelle.” It was Kristi. They hadn’t spoken since Kristi and Jake had left the creek yesterday.

“Oh, hi, Kristi. What’s up?”

Kristi sighed. Michelle could almost picture the bored expression on her face. “I was thinking about going to the creek. Jake just called and said Steve and Artie would probably be there.” Her voice turned a little cooler. “I guess that means Angie, too.”

“Uh-uh. She went home. Won’t be back for a week or two.”

“Oh, ok.” Her mood seemed to brighten a little. “So, do you wanna go?”

Michelle thought for a moment. There was nothing else to do. It was another hot day, and Steve would be there. “Sure. I’ll meet you at the park in say ... half an hour?”

Kristi agreed to the meeting and Michelle hung up the phone with a promise not to be late. She went to her room and pulled her one-piece swim suit from the closet. She held it up, reconsidered, then put it away, instead selecting the light blue bikini she bought but was always too afraid to wear. Until now. If she could participate in a threesome, she could damn well wear a bikini! She undressed and slipped the tight bottom on, then squeezed her tits into the top. She studied herself in the mirror and smiled to herself. She was one hot babe! Digging through her closet, she selected a pair of loose khaki shorts and a t-shirt and slipped them on, then shoved a towel and sunscreen into her backpack. In the kitchen, she grabbed three bottles of water, picked up her sunglasses from the counter, and with a shout to her mother about where she was going, left to meet Kristi.

Michelle rounded the corner on her mountain bike and saw Kristi waiting on the bleachers in the park. When she saw Michelle, she got on her bike and pedaled out to meet her. Aside from a greeting and a couple of comments about the weather, they rode all the way in silence. It appeared Kristi still hadn’t completely forgiven her for being friendly with Angie. She grinned to herself. If she only knew how friendly!

They rolled down the rough path to the clearing and could already hear shouts and splashes as someone landed in the water. Probably Jake. Sure enough, as they came into the grassy clearing, Jake was climbing from the creek, water dripping from his slender, but well-toned body. They got off of their bikes as Artie turned to watch them approach. Kristi always complained that he was ogling them and that he was some kind of sick pervert, but Michelle didn’t think he was like that. Sure, she had noticed him checking her out from time to time, but no more than any other guy. And he was actually kind of cute, in a shy, nerdy way. He was basically just a shy kid trying to fit in.

“Hey! You made it!” Jake yelled out, waving them over. Kristi’s face lit up into a broad smile when she saw him and ran over to where he was standing. Michelle was surprised when she hugged him and planted a lingering kiss on his lips. Were they going out? This was new!

Artie waved at Michelle. “Hey Michelle! Come on over. We were just about to smoke one!”

Michelle waved back at him and leaned her bike against a tree. She shouldered her backpack and went over to where the others were. Jake had his arm around Kristi and she was laughing at something he said.

“So, what’s this?” Michelle asked as she came up to them, indicating Jake and Kristi’s intimate pose.

“Oh, yeah! I meant to tell you!” Kristi said. “Jake and I are dating. We went out last night!” She moved closer to Michelle and whispered, “I’ll tell you all about it later!”

Michelle nodded, then dropped her backpack as Artie passed a joint to her. She took a long toke, then passed it to Kristi. They quickly finished it, then Jake and Kristi wandered off to be alone on the other side of the clearing, leaving Michelle alone with Artie. He looked around nervously, as if trying to come up with something to say. Michelle decided to help him out by starting a conversation.

“So, you went to Arizona for vacation, huh?” she asked as she reached into her backpack and pulled out her towel.

“Yeah,” he replied as he watched her spread it out on the grass. She knew he was watching her body, but didn’t really mind. It was kind of flattering. “To the Grand Canyon.”

Michelle stood up and began to lift her t-shirt over her head. She could feel Artie’s eyes on her as she slipped it over her head, but pretended not to notice as she tossed it to the grass, shook her long hair out, then began unfastening her shorts. She glanced up at Artie as she removed them and saw him avert his gaze.

“I’ve always wanted to see that,” she replied, dropping her shorts to the grass. She kicked them aside, grinned, and struck a sexy pose. “Like my new bikini?”

Artie glanced over at her and looked away quickly. “Y ... yeah. It’s nice.”

“It’s ok to look, Artie. I don’t mind,” she said with a friendly smile.

He looked over at her again and managed to smile. “It ... looks really nice on you,” he said.

She smiled wider. “Thanks!” She took a seat on her towel and looked over to where Jake and Kristi had moved to. “I guess they want to be alone,” she said, turning back to Artie, who was still standing in the same place fidgeting with a twig. “Come on over and keep me company, ok?”

Artie hesitated, then went over and sat down a few feet away from her. Michelle wished he wasn’t so shy because she knew he was really a nice guy. If only he could get himself a girlfriend, she thought, it might be the boost his confidence needed. She would have considered doing it herself, but she already had a boyfriend. And a girlfriend.

“So what’s it like?” she asked as she began spreading sunscreen on her arms.

“Huh? What’s what like?” he asked, seeming to come out of a daze.

“The Grand Canyon!” she replied with a giggle.

“Oh! That!” Artie answered with a crooked grin. He shrugged. “It was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. I mean, it’s a bit of a tourist trap, but the scenery is amazing!” Michelle listened with genuine interest as he explained about his vacation, all the while rubbing in the sunscreen on her arms, legs, and stomach.

“Wow, that sounds so cool,” she said when he finished. “I hope I get to see it someday.” She decided to try to see if she could bring him out of his shell a little. “Would you mind putting some of this on my back for me?” She held out the sunscreen to him.

He swallowed hard, then nodded nervously and reached out a shaky hand to take the bottle. Michelle pretended not to notice his nervousness and lay down on her stomach on her towel. “Thanks, Artie.”

He moved closer and squirted some on her back. Then he cautiously began to rub it in, but he was going too fast and she knew he wasn’t rubbing it in good enough.

“Make sure you rub it in good,” she said without looking up. He took a deep breath and began to move slower, rubbing it into her soft skin. She was surprised at his gentle touch - it felt really nice. When he finished she asked, “Could you do the back of my legs, too?” Artie swallowed hard. Her legs. Those long, smooth, and very sexy legs. His cock, already hard from rubbing her back, practically jumped when he looked down to them and imagined, as he had many times before, his hands stroking them. But this was no masturbation fantasy. She was actually asking him to do it!

“Uh, sure. N ... no problem.” He poured more of the lotion onto his hands and began to rub it into her calves, slowly working his way up to her thighs and closer to that perfect, bikini-clad ass.

Michelle knew what kind of effect this must be having on him and wondered just how far he would go. When he was about six inches from her ass, she felt him falter and thought he would quit, but he surprised her by going further, almost to the cheeks of her ass!

“How’s that?” he asked.

“Mmm ... that was great,” she murmured. “Thanks, Artie.” She kept her head down and her eyes closed. She was pretty sure she had given him a hard-on and didn’t want to embarrass him, even though it was nothing to be embarrassed about. Hell, she’d seen lots of guys on the beach with bulges in their swim suits while putting lotion on girls.

“No problem,” he said. She opened her eyes just a crack and almost did a double take. Artie had a hard-on, all right! It was almost poking out the leg of his shorts! She was no expert on male genitalia, but she knew this was bigger than average! Shy little Artie was packing a real weapon! She closed her eyes again, trying to compare the size of Artie’s cock to Steve’s, the only one she was intimately acquainted with. She figured Steve’s was about six, maybe seven, inches long. She could touch her fingertips when she gripped it. Just barely, but she could do it.

But Artie’s almost reached down to the hem of his shorts, and they were just a few inches above his knees! She opened her eyes again. Artie had moved a few feet away and was standing with his back to her, tossing pebbles into the water. Shit, that had to be eight or nine inches! And it looked a lot thicker than Steve’s, too, although that was harder to judge under his shorts. Wait until Angie heard about this!

Her attention was diverted by the clatter of a bicycle as it bounced over the rocky trail and into the clearing. They all turned as Steve dismounted and leaned his bike next to Michelle’s. He waved at everyone and made his way over to where Michelle and Artie were. Kristi and Jake waved and called out to him, but made no move to get up and come over and were soon wrapped in each other’s arms again.

Steve hooked his head toward them as he approached Michelle and Artie. “When did this take place?”

Michelle sat up and he was momentarily distracted by her sexy bikini. Damn, she was hot! “Last night, I guess,” she replied, squinting up at him. “Kristi told me they went out on a date.”

He looked over at them. “Wow! I guess you can never tell who might get together, huh?” He winked at Michelle and grinned. She merely smiled and looked over at Artie.

“Artie was just telling me about his trip to the Grand Canyon. Sounds like a beautiful place.”

Artie nodded and looked up at Steve. “Yeah, it was pretty cool.” He knew Steve didn’t want to hear about it so he didn’t elaborate. Steve nodded but his eyes were focused on Michelle.

“Nice bikini, Michelle. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in one before. Looks good on you.”

She smiled up at him. “Thanks. That’s what Artie said, so I guess I now have a second opinion!” She giggled and Steve’s dick twitched. Her face literally lit up when she laughed and combined with her skimpy bikini, he was getting very turned on. He wondered if she would object to a little rendezvous in the woods later if they got the chance. He was definitely going to ask her!

Jake and Kristi were coming over, arm in arm. She was wearing the same red bikini she’d worn the previous day and Steve still thought it looked wrong on her with her small breasts. At least it didn’t look as good as Michelle or Angie did in theirs. But she did have an otherwise sexy body, with curvaceous hips and slender legs, and she certainly wasn’t hard on the eyes!

“Hey,” Jake said, glancing at Steve.

“Hey, Jake, Kristi,” Steve replied with an acknowledging nod. He pulled a joint from his shirt pocket. “Anyone want a puff?” The rest of them were still pretty buzzed from the one they’d smoked earlier, but no one refused it when it was passed to them and by the time it was gone they were all fairly zoned out.

“I need a swim,” Jake said, standing up.

Steve peeled off his shirt and sneakers. “Me, too.”

He followed Jake over to the tree with the rope and watched as he made a run to catch it. It was a lackluster attempt, no doubt hindered by the excellent weed, and he missed it by a good three feet, splashing unceremoniously into the dark water. The girls giggled as he burst to the surface. Jake rarely missed the rope and they enjoyed rubbing it in when he did. Steve and Artie were also laughing.

“All right!” Jake spluttered as he treaded water and backed away from where the rope hung. “Let’s see you clowns do better!”

Artie indicated that he wanted to try first, so Steve stood back and gave him room. He ran hard and leapt off the bank, catching the rope and swinging well out past Jake before dropping into the water. Everyone applauded him as he came up to the surface and moved over by Jake, who grinned and splashed him. Steve also caught the rope and both he and Artie teased Jake ruthlessly, wrestling with him in the water.

Michelle looked over at Kristi. “So what made you go out with Jake? I thought you liked Steve?”

Kristi shrugged and brushed her long silky hair over her shoulder as she watched the guys. “I dunno. I guess I always liked Jake, too. Since Steve was with Angie and Jake was being so nice, I figured why not?”

Michelle nodded, also watching the guys splashing in the water. “So what happened on your date?” she asked, looking back over at her friend. “You promised to tell me and I want details!”

Kristi smiled. “Nothing much. We went to see a movie and made out a little in the theater. Then we went over to the park and made out some more on the bleachers.” She licked her lips and looked over at Michelle. “I let him feel me up!” she added in a hoarse whisper, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Michelle pretended that this was still something new and exciting, letting her eyes grow wide.

“You didn’t!”

Kristi nodded, her smile growing to a wide grin. She leaned in closer. “And I touched his ... thing!”

Michelle’s eyes grew wider. Now this was something she wasn’t expecting to hear from Kristi! They had often discussed how far to go on dates and letting a guy cop a feel of their tits was something they had both agreed wasn’t out of the question, but as far as touching a guy’s cock? Uh-uh!

“Did you get him off?” she asked, still wide-eyed.

Kristi shook her head. “No. Actually, I touched it over his shorts. I was afraid if I went any further, things might get out of hand.”

Michelle nodded in an understanding way, but she thought, ‘Maybe it would loosen you up a bit if you got laid.’ But she said, “Wow! I’m jealous!”

Kristi seemed to like that comment and she smiled. “I’m sure you’ll find someone, too.” She took in her bikini and changed the subject. “I didn’t know you had a bikini.”

Michelle looked down at herself. “I got it a while ago but never had the guts to wear it.”

Kristi nodded absently, her eyes moving back to where Jake and the guys were standing on the bank, arguing about whose turn it was next. “Artie seems to like it,” she said in a sarcastic tone.

Michelle followed her gaze to where the guys were. Jake had won the argument and was splashing into the water. Steve was lined up to go next, but Artie was looking back in their direction. He quickly turned away when he saw them looking.

“What a perv,” she added in a disgusted voice.

“No he isn’t,” Michelle protested. “He doesn’t stare any more than the rest of them do!”

Kristi fixed her with a curious look. “Do you like Artie?” she asked, her eyes locked on Michelle’s. Michelle felt her face getting hot. Kristi broke into a wide grin. “You do! You like Artie!”

“Kristi, for fuck’s sake! All I said was that he’s no different than the rest of them!” She knew Kristi wouldn’t let it go and she opened her mouth to call to the guys. Michelle grabbed her and put her hand over her mouth. “Don’t!” she hissed. She removed her hand and Kristi grinned at her.

“All right - I won’t say anything,” she said with a short laugh. “But of all the guys in town, why him?”

“I never said I liked him in that way,” Michelle mumbled, averting her gaze.

“No, but your face did!” Kristi replied. “You turned three shades of red!”

Michelle didn’t know how to reply. She really hadn’t thought of Artie in a sexual way until she’d seen how big he was. But she couldn’t very well tell Kristi that! Angie, yes, but not prissy little Kristi! She gave a resigned sigh.

“He really is kinda cute, he’s just a little shy. If a girl paid some attention to him, he may open up a little,” she said.

Kristi didn’t respond, but lay back on the towel and closed her eyes. “If you say so. I don’t see it.”

Michelle studied her for a moment, briefly taking in her svelte body. “You promise you won’t say anything to him? I don’t want him to think I’m interested and then have to turn him down.”

“I promise,” Kristi replied without opening her eyes. Michelle didn’t know if she believed her.

She sat there hugging her knees for a few seconds, then stood up. “I’m going for a swim.” Kristi didn’t respond so she made her way over to the tree where Artie was still standing. He turned to her as she approached and managed a smile.

“Hey, Artie. How’s the water?”

“Uh, great,” he replied, looking away. “Are you going in?”

She nodded. “Yeah. It’s so fucking hot!” She walked to the edge of the bank and called out, “Watch out, guys! Coming in!” Steve and Jake paddled aside and she took a few steps back, then ran off the edge, splashing into the dark swirling water a few feet from them. The water was refreshingly cool and she took her time pushing to the surface, letting it cool her overheated flesh. When her head broke the surface, she whipped her long hair from her face and took a deep breath.

“Ahhh! This feels great!” she exclaimed as she back-paddled over to them. Jake started to move closer to her when they heard Kristi’s voice.

“Hey! How much longer are we going to be here? I need to get home soon!”

Jake gave Michelle a long look, then moved over to where the root ladder was. He climbed up and went over to Kristi, shaking the water from his hair. Michelle and Steve moved closer together, treading water and circling each other in the cool water.

“Did I tell you how sexy you look in that bikini?” he said, giving her a crooked grin. Michelle felt her face flush.

“You behave yourself!” she said in a hoarse whisper, but her eyes sparkled with mischief. “Aww, I was hoping we could have some fun today!” he moaned, moving a little closer to her. She playfully splashed water in his direction.

“We’ll see,” she said, glancing up to the clearing. Kristi and Jake were walking away from the bank, no doubt to do a little more making out before she got him to take her home. Artie was still standing there, watching them walk away. Michelle moved over closer to Steve. “Has Artie ever had a girlfriend?”

Steve, puzzled by her change of subject, took a second to answer. “Uh ... no, I don’t think so.” He gave her a curious look. “Why?”

She shrugged and ducked her hair back into the water. Her ample tits just broke the surface; her nipples hard in the cool water. “No reason,” she replied nonchalantly. “I was just wondering.” Steve knew she wasn’t telling him the whole truth, but let it drop. He had other things on his mind. He looked up to make sure Artie wasn’t watching them, then reached out and cupped one of Michelle’s generous tits. Her hard nipple poked into his palm.

“Steve!” she cried, looking up at the clearing. “Stop that! Someone will see us!”

His response was to move in behind her and press his body tightly to hers. He grabbed her other tit, gently kneading her wet flesh. Despite their rather public location, she was enjoying his touch, but pretended to resist.

“I said stop that!” she cried, unenthusiastically trying to squirm free. Steve held on tight, knowing that she wasn’t entirely serious.

“Remember when you saw me and Angie down here fucking? No one else saw us.”

Michelle continued to struggle, but was no longer really trying to get away. “I saw you!” she replied, reaching down to his shorts. Her hand closed around his hard cock and she became instantly aroused.

“Yeah, but you were in the woods,” he said, gesturing with a nod to where she had been. “Everyone’s in the clearing now.” He leaned in and nibbled on her ear, sending shivers of pleasure down her spine. “We could do it right now,” he whispered.

She was getting extremely turned on by the feel of his warm body in the cool water. His cock was so hard and felt wonderful as she stroked it. He dropped one of his hands from her tit down to the top of her bikini and was starting to wriggle it inside to where her pussy was crying for attention when she looked up and saw Artie staring down at them.

“Oh, shit,” she gasped, pushing Steve away. Steve looked up and saw Artie standing there, his mouth dropped open.

“Uh, Kristi and Jake took off,” he said. “Are you guys coming up?”

Steve gave Michelle a wink and began swimming over to the ladder. She followed him and clambered up to the grassy bank. Artie was giving them an odd look. He had apparently seen enough. Michelle decided not to try to deny what he’d seen.

“Uh, Artie, I know it sounds weird, but what we were doing was...”

Artie cut her off, turning to Steve. “I thought you and Angie were going out? What are you doing? Isn’t Angie enough for you?” He turned to Michelle. “I thought you were different!” His eyes had a hurt look and Michelle felt like she had somehow betrayed him. Steve and Michelle, both stunned by his outburst, watched as he turned to leave. Michelle was the first to recover. “Artie! Wait!” She ran over to him and grabbed his shoulder. “Wait, please! It’s not what you think!”

He stopped and turned around slowly, his eyes focusing on the beautiful girl in the wet, skimpy bikini. He didn’t say anything; just stood there and waited for her to explain. Steve walked over to them.

“Artie, please don’t say anything,” he said quietly.

Artie snorted derisively. “I won’t tell Angie, if that’s what you mean,” he said, his eyes boring into Steve’s. “But I should! She’s too nice to be involved with a sleaze like you!” He turned his accusing eyes back to Michelle. “And you’re supposed to be her friend!”
