Chapter 10: Nick and Katie

Winter arrived, and I was seeing Nick four or five times every week. This tailed off a bit as exams started, but then they were over and winter break began.

Nick’s family were heading to the mainland on vacation, and I was initially disappointed that I wouldn’t see him for two weeks.

But then he told me he had permission from his parents to stay behind and housesit. As I alluded to earlier, they were very strict and were initially against it, but he told them he was still upset about breaking up with Katie and wanted some time alone. I think he also pointed out that he was actually an adult now and could be trusted to not destNick the house.

Thankfully they relented.

Nick’s house was a mid-century modern with a really odd split level layout.

As soon as you walked in, there was an atrium off to the left with only skylights to keep the neighbors prying eyes away from the large jacuzzi. The atrium had a very low, sloped ceiling, and tropical houseplants lined the walls on wooden shelves. Nick’s parents had created this as a refuge from the harsh northern winters, and it really did feel like a warm, foreign space.

Past the entrance to the atrium was a galley kitchen that opened to the combined dining and living room.

To the right, a set of stairs led up to the second floor that housed the bedrooms and another set immediately beside it led down to a sunken recreation room. Nick’s bedroom was the furthest back upstairs, and could be reached either by the stairs from the living room or a second set of stairs in the rec room that came up from the opposite side.

As soon as Nick’s parents left, I spent the first two days of winter break at his house.

We slept together in his room, fucking there, the hot tub, the shower, wherever. Nick had a “no jizz in the hot tub” rule, but that went out the window immediately.

Eventually, real life intervened, and I had to go back to my place to make sure that it was still there. He stayed at his house to tidy up and resupply.

As I was driving back, I stopped in at the bank to get cash. As I waited in line, my mouth dropped.

Katie was at the teller. She was wearing a big, puffy fur lined parka, and a black toque. She looked amazing.

I waited for her to finish, and I called out to her as she went past.

“Luc!”

She smiled and grabbed me, her blue eyes sparkling. We hugged tight for a long time. She smelled and felt amazing.

As we parted, I asked her to wait for me. She nodded and I watched her sit on one of a pair of plastic chairs in the waiting area by the front window.

I joined her and we chatted for a while. We caught up, she told me about her work study, how it had gone very well. The town was really isolated and she didn’t do anything other than work. But the work had been rewarding and she had learned a lot.

“How’s Maya?”

I shrugged.

“We broke up too.”

“Oh no, how come?”

“Meh,” I shrugged again. “Just weren’t compatible, I guess.”

She smiled and stroked my arm.

“Ah, no offense but you two weren’t right for each other.”

I laughed.

“Is that right?”

She grinned that mischievous little grin again.

“Why do you think I hooked you up with Nancy?”

“Oh, and Nancy was right for me?”

“Yep, she was right for you at that time!”

I laughed, shaking my head. Katie was right, of course.

“Have you seen Nick?”

I nodded.

“Ah, yeah. His family is on the coast, and he stayed up here. We’ve been hanging out at his house just about every day.”

“Oh, well, that’s good,” she replied with a slight smile. “I didn’t know if I should call him to see how he’s doing.”

“You should, I know he’d love to hear from you. He’s pretty much over everything, but he still cares about you.”

“Aw,” she said. “I still care about him. I would like to stay friends with him, if he could handle that.”

I had a devious thought.

“Why don’t you come over and hang out with us tonight? Just for a bit.”

She looked uncertain.

“He’s over everything, I promise. And he would kill me if he found I talked to you and didn’t invite you over.”

She was wary, but I did my best to look sincere.

Of course Nick wasn’t completely over everything. I hoped they could at least have a chat, sort a few things out, and there would be some closure.

“Okay. But just for a little while. I’m supposed to be here visiting my family.”

We got up, hugged, and I told her to just come over to his place whenever she was ready.

I rushed back to Nick’s house and burst through the door, surprising him as he was putting away groceries.

“What the fuck?”

“Guess who I just saw,” I said, a huge grin plastered over my face.

“Oh no, who?”

“Guess.”

“I have no idea.”

“Katie.”

His face sank.

“Oh.”

“And,” I said with a flourish, “she’s coming over.”

“What...”

“I just saw her at the bank, she said she still wants to be friends with you.”

Nick’s face remained fallen. I walked over and put a hand on his shoulder.

“Being friends with her is better than nothing, right?”

He didn’t look convinced.

“Would you rather she just cut you out of her life completely?”

He paused, then shook his head.

“No.”

I pulled Nick flat against me, and put my hands on his ass to pull him in closer. He looked up, still sad. I gave him a little peck.

“Cheer up, it’ll be fine.”

“Right, uh huh.”

Katie arrived a few hours later bearing gifts: a six pack of beer. Nick put it in the fridge, and took Katie’s parka.

Katie and I sat on the sofa in the living room, and Nick arrived with a beer for everyone. We sat and chatted, but as you can imagine it was very awkward between Nick and Katie.

After a few minutes of this, I decided they needed to figure this out, quickly.

“Hey. I’m going to go buy a joint, and you two are going to talk and work this out. As soon as possible.”

They both looked at me, their looks pleading with me not to leave them alone together. But, leave them alone together I did, and I took my time walking to a friend of a friend’s house where individual joints were sold.

I haven’t talked much about drugs, but I did actually smoke a fair amount of pot. Everyone did, it was very common. But this was the end of the 80’s and pot then was nothing like it is now. It wasn’t potent at all, and just resulted in a mellow buzz that took the edge off.

I had been gone for about an hour and a half. When I returned to Nick’s, I opened the door and heard laughter.

“Well, that’s a result,” I thought.

I took off my coat and when I walked into the living room, the mood was much lighter. They both turned to me, Katie with her big smile and twinkling blue eyes, Nick grinning and sitting relaxed.

I fell onto the couch between them.

“All better?”

“Yes, all better,” said Katie sarcastically. I cast a glance at Nick, he smiled and nodded. Thank God.

The three of us sat on the sofa, had more beer, and chatted for a few hours. At around ten o’clock, Katie started to make motions like she was going to leave.

“What do you think you’re doing,” I asked.

“Well, it’s getting late...”

“Let’s do something then.”

Nick shrugged.

“Do you guys want to go in the hot tub?”

I nodded. Katie gave us both a look.

“I don’t have anything to wear.”

Nick grinned.

“Sure you do, you left one of your swimsuits here.”

She sighed, resigned.

“Fine. Let’s go.”

Nick found her swimsuit, and she went to the upstairs bathroom and changed into it while we got into whatever trunks were available.

I slipped into the hot tub, and Nick turned on the jets and joined me. My bones were still chilled from my stroll in the bitterly cold air.

“God this is so fucking good right now,” I sighed.

Nick sunk in up to his chin and we floated for a bit. It was sometimes difficult to get a read on where his head was at, but he looked relatively content.

“So,” I said, “you guys got some things sorted.”

“Yeah. It sucks, but we really do have different goals in life. I get it.”

“And...?”

He gave me a look. “And, you were right. It’s better to be friends than to lose her completely.”

“Me? Right?”

“Shut up.”

After a few minutes, Katie appeared in the doorway wrapped in a towel. Both our eyes turned to her as she dropped it.

“Don’t stare!”

She was wearing an aquamarine blue one-piece suit, and looked absolutely incredible.

She was slim yet curvy, and her huge tits were pushing the suit forward to the point we could see her cleavage from our vantage point below. Her shoulder length blonde hair was tied up in an elastic on top of her head.

She slipped into the water between Nick and I, easing her way into the steamy tub.

“Oh, I have missed this,” she sighed.

I smiled and looked over at Nick.

“I’m sure the hot tub misses you too.”

She glared at me, mouth open in a mocking smile.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“If this hot tub could talk...”

Katie splashed water at me and Nick busted out laughing. She turned to Nick, pensive.

“I don’t think we ever did it in here, did we?”

Nick thought for a second.

“Hmmmm, nope.”

“No jizz in the hot tub rule?” I offered.

Katie’s head darted over to me.

“What is THAT?”

Nick splashed water at me with his foot.

“Nothing,” I answered, looking innocent.

“Right.”

Katie splashed some water up over her chest.

“I’m surprised you two don’t have different girls in here every night,” she said nonchalantly.

Nick and I exchanged incredulous looks.

“It’s a miracle there’s one,” he said.

“But one’s enough!” I added, helpfully.

Katie splashed more water on her boobs. She looked up at me, and I noticed a slight mischievous gleam flickering in those blue eyes.

“Oh, you think I’m enough for two? But could you two handle one of me?”

I felt that familiar tiny burst of adrenaline, and suddenly my “something sexual is about to happen” radar started receiving pings. I looked over at Nick, who looked back, eyebrows raised.

Then I remembered.

“Hey! The joint! Let’s go smoke it!”

We pulled ourselves out of the hot tub and toweled off. It was warm in the atrium, but more chilly in the living room. I went to my jacket hanging on the hook and grabbed the joint and lighter. Nick and Katie were already at the sliding glass door that led to the deck.

The three of us stepped outside, and it was easily minus twenty degrees. There was no snow on the deck under the roof overhang, but the floorboards were like blocks of ice. Steam rose from our bodies in huge clouds, and Katie hugged herself to stay warm. We passed the joint around.

“My swimsuit is starting to freeze,” said Katie as we hurriedly finished it.

She hurried through the living room as Nick and I followed behind. My teeth were chattering and my trunks were ice cold.

As I walked into the atrium, I bumped into Nick because he had stopped in front of me. I was a little buzzed and started to laugh, but Nick’s eyes were fixed on Katie.

She was standing on the deck beside the hot tub facing away from us, her thumbs under the shoulder straps of her swimsuit...

“This thing is FREEZING!”

Then, she pulled the straps up, slipped her arms out, and pulled it all the way down.

I watched in amazement as her naked body appeared, her supple round ass spreading slightly as she bent over to pull the swimsuit off her foot.

Then, she quickly turned and slipped into the hot tub, my eyes desperately trying to take in everything as her naked body disappeared into the steamy bubbles.

She pulled her knees up to her chest so only her head was poking out of the water.

“Oh, that is soooo muchhhhh betterrrrrr...” she said through chattering teeth.

Nick and I exchanged shocked looks...

“You guys getting in or what?”

We simultaneously dropped our trunks and splashed in on either side of her. I was mildly buzzed and the swirling of the water around my cock from the jets had it rock hard in a few seconds.

Katie leaned back, her tits bobbing on the surface of the water. I could just make out some erect nipples through the steam and bubbles.

“Come closer.”

We both slid along the hot tub seats until we were squeezed up against her. I felt her small, delicate hand wrap around my rigid shaft. I looked down through the water, and she had done the same with Nick.

Again, Nick and I exchanged looks.

I could not believe this was happening. This was so far out of the realm of possibility that I had never even entertained the thought. I had no idea what was in bounds or out of bounds but I was overjoyed to have the opportunity to find out.

Katie was now basically floating between Nick and I, and I had my free hand exploring every possible inch of her amazing body.

She was still stroking both of us simultaneously, but then reached between her legs and gently grasped our shafts to hold them together. She pulled us gently towards her pussy until our heads were squeezed together, right at the entrance to her pussy.

“You boys are very, very naughty...” she whispered.

I exhaled breathlessly as she teased her lips against the head of my cock.

This whole scenario had suddenly become very interesting. While I initially wasn’t sure if I should touch Nick or if he’d touch me, the question was moot now. She was taking matters into her own hands, literally.

I put my free hand on Nick’s hip to steady us. I was extremely interested to see if Katie was serious about both of us in her pussy at once or if she was just teasing. Katie spread her legs wide, and floated down a little, now rubbing the heads of our cocks over her hood.

Nick appeared to be thinking the same thing as me, because he put a hand under her ass and floated her a little so our cocks were once again pressed up against her pussy.

The water was hot and turbulent, and while I could feel that she was wet, it also felt like it was quickly washed away. As I was intently watching the underwater action, Katie looked up.

“Let’s go to the bedroom.”
