Chapter 16: Thursday Afternoon: Lunch

Kara felt the wall go up. Go ahead my muse.

Kara ‘laughed’. Of course she wants to know. I’ll be there in a moment.

Kara stepped through the double doors and scanned the room. Ah, I see where you guys are. Let me just grab my food real quick.

Certainly darling. So we’re all set to tell Vanessa and Manny yes?

Definitely. Are we crazy? Kara pointed to a few items and grabbed the tray.

Possibly? But does what the world thinks really matter?

Not really. She nodded at Vanessa and the others, then sat down on Allison’s side. “Sorry. That took a little longer than I expected. It’s getting kind of hard to remember which of my teachers know and which don’t.”

“And with the rumor mill as out of control as it is, keeping them up to date has to be fun too.”

“Thankfully Shelley, most of them seem to be ignoring the rumors. My English teacher is one of the few who is definitely paying attention even as she claims she isn’t. Anyway, we have two important things to get to, right my muse?” Kara glanced at Allison and began to eat.

“Right. The more important thing first, I think.” She looked at Vanessa, who nodded, then at Emanuel. “The three of us have spoken at the right length, and...”

“The thing from Tuesday?”

“Yes Manny. Kara and I agree that this is the right decision. You have our explicit permission to date Vanessa.”

Kara watched him turn to Vanessa. “They’ve made their minds up, but...” he glanced around the table “I don’t know if you’re interested too.”

“Yes! I ... I did some thinking the last couple of days, and while I don’t know if this will turn into something long term” she paused, looking at Kara and Allison “I’m sure that this is what I want.”

If you’re sure Ally. “So then, would you like to go on a date Vanessa?”

“Of course!” She turned to Kara and Allison. “May I?” she asked tentatively.

“If Manny wants to, sure. We might ask for one too if you’re in the mood.”

Kara watched her turn to Emanuel, eye him slightly hungrily, and lean in a little. “Uhm ... I’d...” she began.

Okay. She is really cute. “This time, I’ll do what I know you want” he whispered “but next time it’s up to you to ask.”

“But...” she started as Emanuel leaned in the rest of the way and brought his lips to hers. Vanessa melted slightly as the kiss continued for a few of minutes. She gasped for breath when he pulled away, and turned back toward Kara and Allison. “You were ... really okay with that?”

Kara grinned. “We wouldn’t have said yes if we weren’t. That said though ... I’m sure I could do a better job.” She turned to Emanuel. “That was kind of, tentative ... don’t you think so?”

He grinned as well. “Well, of course” he started softly “but don’t you think the toe-curling ones should be saved for when we’re not surrounded by people? Like say, Saturday at some point?”

Kara glanced at Vanessa’s eyes and nodded softly. No kidding. And then you after that. Vanessa got up, nodded at someone to stand up, then motioned for Kara and Allison to make room for her. Yup, right now actually. She turned to Kara, leaned in, and started a soft but passionate kiss.

See Manny? This is the kind of kiss you could have gotten.

I wasn’t feeling very turned on from all the earlier bullshit, but now...

I know darling; I can feel that too. Will you be okay when she does the same to me?

Yeah. It’ll bring me close enough to an orgasm, but not quite there. Vanessa pulled away, smiling nervously.

“Sorry ... I didn’t mean to...”

“Don’t apologize.” She glanced at Vanessa, then down. “You can see for yourself the effect it had. Now, just be sure not to leave Allison out of the fun” she grinned mischievously “that wouldn’t be very nice if you did, would it?”

Vanessa smirked, laughed softly, then smiled gently. “I know here” she pointed to her head “that you two meant what Allison said earlier. But here” she pointed to her heart “is kind of slow to get on the same page.”

“I know what you mean. Now” she lowered her voice to a whisper “if you really don’t want to kiss Allison too, we won’t force you. That wouldn’t be right. Do you really want to?”

“I was worried that this would be over as soon as it started, but...” she replied, also at a whisper “you two really know how to make a girl feel accepted. So yes.”

“Thank Allison for that. I learned that feeling from her.”

Allison grabbed Vanessa, turned her around, and pulled her in for a deep, passionate kiss. Listen to all those people forgetting how to breathe.

It’s not my fault they don’t know how kiss right.

While you reduce her to a puddle, I’m going to take the opportunity to talk to Bonnie.

Okay! Have fun.

Kara glanced around and spotted her, many open spots around her. Oh dear. Have people decided they want nothing to do with her?

She was getting some funny looks earlier. I hope that you talking with her in the open like this will help to mitigate those somewhat.

Me too, my pillar, me too. Kara waved to her and sat down next to her. “Sorry about earlier. I got too excited to have some quality time with my loves.”

“If ... if I had a boyfriend, I think I’d have done the same thing. You ... you weren’t kidding, were you?”

“That our relationships don’t mean we’re cheating on each other? Yeah, we’re serious. And all three of us agree that welcoming Vanessa into our group like that was the right thing to do.”

“I ... I don’t think I could kiss another girl like that.”

Kara smiled gently. “And you don’t have to. Allison and I are both bi, and clearly she is a little too. That’s why this works for us.” You’re still kissing?

She doesn’t want to let go. Although, I’m going to need to stop to breathe in a little bit.

“Before I forget again; let me tell you the information you asked for earlier. So, Allison and I are taking part in a demonstration that’s focused on sex toy safety. Things like cleaning them and how to use them without causing harm to you or your partner.”

“Oh! And there’s no cost to go to it?”

“Completely free. I don’t know if your mom would let you go, but if she does the first one will be after school today in the auditorium.”

“She ... she doesn’t need to know. I mean ... I don’t have one, but if I ever can ... you know, get one ... it could be good to know about. Are they expensive?”

Kara leaned in. “No one knows about this yet” she started to whisper “but the person financing the demos is the owner of the shop in the mall. She’s going to give anyone who attends one of them a discount that’s good for a month. We don’t know how much, but it will be a considerable one. I take it you’ve been dealing with some ... urges lately?”

“Ye ... yeah. I know acting on those is sinful, but ... I couldn’t help it earlier; not remembering what you three did earlier this week. And I don’t know how to, and ... well, my fingers weren’t enough.”

“Part of that is not knowing what works for you. I’m sure you can find someone in the Program who is willing to assist you in figuring that out.” Bonnie blushed a rich, deep red, and began to open and close her mouth a few times. “You heard, huh?”

She nodded her head. “Yeah. The girls who said something seemed really happy” she paused “unlike some of the girls I know. I figured that ... you’d be a good person to trust.” She glanced around nervously. “And the way you welcomed someone new so warmly ... if you can do that when your boyfriend is on the line, then I think you’d be good to me to.”

“Are you sure you’re comfortable with a girl touching you like that?”

“To be honest, I’m more uncomfortable with a boy I don’t know touching me like that. Another girl at least has stuff like mine; and I wouldn’t feel like I’m betraying my future husband that way.”

So the touches of a girl don’t dirty you, but a boy’s do? That makes no sense to me.

Join the club partner.

“I imagine you’d want this to happen somewhere relatively private.”

“Actually...” she started, looking down sadly “public is okay. After my mom left the Principal’s office looking defeated, the rumors started to fly and...” a pained look of betrayal crossed her face “all of my religious friends abandoned me. I’m no longer ‘on the path’ and ‘too tainted to return’ according to them.”

When you put it that way, it would be cruel to suggest that she’s damaged goods; especially after we just welcomed Vanessa so warmly. “Okay, so here’s the thing. In order for this to be possible, you need to ask me directly and loud enough that there are witnesses to it. If you’re comfortable enough to do that, I’ll say yes and do it wherever. But know that if you do, you’re losing the chance to ever get those friends back.”

“If they dropped me so easily, should I really consider that they were ever my friends? No, I need to distance myself from them, and this is likely the best way to do that.” She paused for a few moments. “In being willing to talk to me after everything that I said yesterday and this morning, you’ve proved to be a better friend than they ever were over the past three years.”

“Okay. But I want you to be sure; I don’t want mess with your head anymore than this morning might have.”

Bonnie smiled. “They never would have thought about that, but you did. I’m sure.”

Bonnie might decide to join our table after this. Apparently we’ve been better friends to her in the last day than her old ones were in three years.

They didn’t exactly set a high bar darling. And we’re not even doing anything special.

“Their behavior shouldn’t be the defining standard for anyone. They even failed at basic human decency. That said, if you want to learn now, we should start soon.”

“You ... you’ll be okay if I can’t return the favor, right?”

Kara laughed loudly. “Yeah. This is from those kisses, and I’ll be able to get some relief next period. I’ll be fine.” She paused and glanced around the room. “No one should ever feel like they have to do something sexual just because someone else did something for them. If you wanted to and could, that would be up to you.”

Bonnie smiled, stood up, and took a few breaths. “I’m ready.” She turned to the people who had turned to face her. “Kara, I would like to make a request.”

“Go ahead.”

“I would like you to teach me how to orgasm.”

Kara grinned at the sounds of shock that pulsed out through the room, and stood up. “Yes, it’s reasonable if I decide it is. And I say yes in this case.” She turned back to Bonnie. “I’ll need you to drop your pants and panties, as well as baring your breasts. Are you okay to do that?”

Bonnie began to panic slightly. “It would be easier if ... if someone else was up here with me doing that.” Kara grinned, glanced at Vanessa, who grinned back and nodded. She stood up and came over to them. “Ar ... are you sure?”

“Do you think they’re” she pointed at Kara and Allison “the only ones turned on by those kisses? Besides, believe it or not” she lowered her voice to a whisper “I was kind of where you are a few days ago.”

“In ... in what way?”

“In that I wasn’t sure if I could do those sorts of things to another girl. But Kara made me feel so good that I wanted to return the favor. And I’m glad I did.”

“Vanessa, please don’t push the issue. They can take care of me before art.”

“N ... no, it’s okay. I know I don’t need to reciprocate if I don’t want to. You ... you’re willing to help?”

“Yes. Do me first, please!”

“It may not be like last time. This is meant, in part, to be educational.”

Vanessa grinned. “It’ll still feel good, and that’s what I need right now.”

“Okay.” She turned to Bonnie. “One other thing before I actually start; your state of mind matters even more than what you’re physically doing for this to ‘work’. If you still believe that having an orgasm is a sin, you’ll find it difficult to have one no matter what happens physically.”

“I ... I’m not sure what to believe where that’s concerned. I know what my church has always taught, but enough of what they taught clearly isn’t right ... and maybe this is too.”

Vanessa shook her head sadly. “Maybe? Totally wrong. There’s an entire book of the Bible celebrating the coupling between two lovers. And if I’m remembering correctly, at least one of psalms or proverbs distinctly says that our bodies were made to enjoy pleasurable things; like good food...”

Bonnie’s face lit up. “And if He made the human body to experience those things, then this was designed too, right?”

“Exactly!”

Bonnie turned back to Kara. “Okay! I’m really ready.”

Kara stepped in front of Vanessa. “Then watch me for now. I’ll repeat this again on you when I’m done.” She grabbed Vanessa’s right breast with one hand. “There’s a lot you can do with your breasts.”

“Like squeezing them?”

“That’s one thing, but certainly not the only possibility.” She gently touched her free fingers to the underside, and began to caress it; Vanessa smiled and began to moan softly. “See? I’m barely touching it, yet it feels really good to her. And it’s not just the underside either.” Kara moved her fingers up and around Vanessa’s areola. “The whole breast could be work wonders for you. And of course, there’s the nipple too.” She carefully played with it for a few moments. “There’s a lot more that a partner can do for you, but you’re probably not big or flexible enough to get your breast to your mouth.”

Vanessa grinned, picked up then other one, and lifted it to her mouth. “Like this?”

“Well yes, but let’s face it; yours are huge. That’s not available to most women.” She put the right breast down and took the left from Vanessa. “But, for when you find someone you want to share this with, I’ll show you some of that.” Kara licked and kissed all around it, then took the nipple into her mouth and gently sucked on it for a few moments. “Some girls like their partner to bite the breast or nipple; usually gently.” She chuckled softly, then shook her head. “If you don’t want to explore that option, you don’t have to.”

“Oh, okay.”

Good. “Thank you, Mrs. Frauhold.”

“We’ll talk later.”

“Did I get you in trouble?”

Kara smiled. “I don’t think so. Besides, she allowed the show a few days ago; this is educational by comparison.” She glanced at the look on Vanessa’s face. “Okay ... message received. It’s very probable that you have other places that feel good; maybe your ears, neck, etc. But I’ll focus on the other big player for now.” She motioned Vanessa closer to the table, and sat down. “Now, there’s three major things to be aware of down here. The first is the clitoris” she pointed to Vanessa’s. This can be very sensitive for some, and you definitely don’t want to make it the first part you get to down here. But a gentle rub” she worked her finger in a small circle, eliciting a gasp from Vanessa “can work wonders. So can a well placed tongue; I’ll show you that in just a little bit.”

She gently opened Vanessa’s outer lips. “Here’s the other place that fingers feel great in. You might have a spot somewhere inside that feels REALLY good, but I’m not sure I’ll find it right away. I’m pretty sure I know where hers is though.” She gently pushed a two fingers in, bent them up slightly, and moved them around a little. Vanessa let out another loud gasp. “That’s the spot! And like the breasts, this is a great area for a lover with a talented tongue.” She motioned for Vanessa to step back, laid the pillow in front of her, and knelt on it. “Watch this.”

Kara darted her tongue forward, catching Vanessa’s clit and producing a deep moan. She smiled, brought her head down just a little, and began to lick at Vanessa. Her moans grew in volume; her hands migrated to her breasts and began to play with them. Kara hummed a very short tune as she continued to work her tongue; the moans became a loud scream as Vanessa shook and leaned forward to catch herself. “Wow. How many times have you played with her?”

“Only a handful. Are you ready for your turn?”

“I’m ... still a little nervous. Especially with” she lowered her voice to a whisper “so many people watching me.”

“They know better than to mess with anyone who we choose to associate with. For most people, it’s not worth it; for the others, our reputations do most of the work. Trust me; you’ll be fine.” She glanced back at Vanessa. “Besides that, look at Vanessa. Once I get started, no amount of embarrassment or nervousness will matter to you.”

“Do I need to get fully naked?” she whispered.

“You’ll probably want to take of your pants completely; they’ll restrict how much I’m able to do for you. But your shirt and bra can stay on if you want; as long as your breasts are free, that’s enough.”

Bonnie nodded her head, quickly pulled her shirt up and undid her bra. “Can we ... have my pants come down a little later?”

“If that will help you, sure.” Kara stepped closer to her, then glanced around, giving a quick look of warning to the crowd. Bonnie looked at her quizzically. “Just making sure they’re on the same page. Do you want me to tell you what I’m doing, or...”

“N ... no. I’ll pay attention.”

Kara smiled. “Okay. Can I explore a little and see if I can find some of your other erogenous zone?” Bonnie nodded her head. Let’s see then; starting with her ears and neck... Kara smiled as a series of soft strokes to the back of her ears spawned a gentle gasp and a simple smile. Her fingers continued to travel south; eliciting another gasp at the back of Bonnie’s neck. Fascinating... She continued their motion past Bonnie’s shirt, softly stroking each breast from the top to the bottom, then back up again to their areola. Each brush caused Bonnie’s breathing to deepen; her first moans came as Kara’s fingers moved around the areola.

Those moans grew louder when Kara cupped each of her breasts in a hand and began to squeeze them firmly. She glanced up as she brought her mouth to one of the erect nipples. “Eyes closed, huh?”
