Chapter 35

Frank hung up with a frustrated sigh. He'd already left two messages for Cindy, both on her answering machine and her voice mail, but so far she hadn't gotten back in touch with him. He was considering just walking over to her place to see if she was home, but he didn't want to crowd her if she just wanted to be alone.

This sucks, he thought to himself. He still felt like things were going pretty well between them, but it was obvious that he wanted their relationship to progress more rapidly than she did. He looked around the messy apartment he shared with his room-mates, trying to think of something to do to kill some time.

Jake spent the rest of the afternoon horsing around with Ellen, Monica and Anna, wrestling and splashing around in the pool and drinking beer, basically having a great time with his sexy coed friends. The day passed quickly, and soon Ellen had to start thinking about getting ready for work. When she reluctantly went to take a shower the remaining trio decided to get out as well. Jake said he needed to go home to take care of a few things; he made plans to meet up with the girls for dinner later.

Ellen wished she didn't have to go into work, but there was nothing to be done about it. Still, she felt lucky to have had some one-on-one time with Jake. She'd gotten caught up in the horse-play with him, at one point wrapping her legs around his waist and rubbing her crotch into his as they were supposedly trying to dunk each other. The alcohol had worked to loosen her inhibitions some, but the truth was that she didn't mind flirting with Jake in front of Anna and Monica. Everyone had been so open and playful with each other, she'd just done what felt natural.

Now she wondered if she'd crossed a line. Monica and Anna had been pretty physical with him too, she told herself, defending her actions. It wasn't like she was the only one. And Jake was certainly playing along. In fact, she'd been pleased to feel his erection at one point; the idea that she was turning him on only served to increase her own arousal.

She dropped her wet swim suit into the bathroom sink and went back into her bedroom, getting her vibrator out and plopping down on the bed; she wanted to get off before she had to go to work.

"Boy, it sure looked like Ellen was having fun, didn't it?" Monica asked as the two little blondes went back inside their apartment.

Anna laughed, still feeling a little giddy and drunk from the afternoon's activities.

"I'll say. I was having a pretty good time too. I think we all were."

Monica just giggled, thinking about how she and Anna had finally overpowered Jake by wrapping their legs tightly around his, their three bodies slickly rubbing all over each other in the water. He'd taken them down with him, but they'd managed to dunk him and that was a victory in itself, even if he'd recovered quickly and had soon gone back to tossing them around.

Jake had also taken Anna aside at one point when Monica and Ellen were fiddling with the CD player and gave her a quick kiss. They'd agreed that for this weekend, anyway, they wouldn't fool around any more; it was still too new and strange, and it just didn't feel right with Josie out of town.

Anna sighed as she toweled her long, blond hair. She really did want to spend the night with Jake again, and it would be even harder tonight saying goodnight to him, but she knew it was a small price to pay for a little piece of mind. Josie and Jake were such good friends; she didn't want to do anything that might jeopardize their relationships, no matter how strong her needs were.

And she did need him, she realized. When they'd been playing around in the pool she'd nearly cum just wiggling her hot little bod against his. Part of it was just how horny she already was, part of it was the excitement of playing with him in front of the other girls, and part of it was the vivid memories of their night together...

"Well, I'm gonna hop in the shower first if you don't mind," Monica said, recognizing the dreamy, faraway look in her room-mate's eyes.

"Sure, that's fine with me," Anna said, stretching. She gave Monica a frisky grin. "Unless you'd rather have some company..."

Jake left the apartment courtyard with a chubby that refused to go away. Just seeing the three lovely ladies had gotten his blood flowing, on top of the sexual tension he'd built up flirting with Teagan, and once they'd started wrestling with him in the water he'd nearly lost it. Somehow he'd managed to keep his wits about him, though he'd wanted to fuck the three of them silly right then and there.

He ran his fingers through his hair, taking a deep breath. Stay in control, Jake, he told himself. But it was hard. He knew without a doubt that any of those beautiful nymphs would have gone as far as he'd wanted to go if he'd pressed the issue. God, Ellen's big, juicy tits had almost been too much to resist. She was obviously turned on by their horsing around. Jake imagined that she was quite the little tiger in bed.

Monica and Anna had been pretty frigging irresistible too. There was something up between those two, he could tell, and he wondered if Anna's new-found interest in bi-sexuality was spreading. God, it was almost too good to be true!

And yet, and yet...

He wished Josie was home, waiting for him to fuck her brains out. He needed it bad, needed to fuck her long and hard to help release this tapped up energy. Brittney had been a great fuck, just what he'd needed after being with little Amy last night, but that might as well have been a month ago; he was still horny.

If Josie was here, I could manage, Jake told himself. And I don't want to keep fucking around on her, I really don't. God, Teagan had been more than willing in the dressing room earlier, but he'd somehow managed to resist. If he just set his mind to it, if he just kept himself out of these situations, he could stay on the straight and narrow.

But was that what he really wanted? Yes, he loved Josie. But he also couldn't imagine not taking advantage of all the other women available to him. Horsing around with the girls in the pool had been a vivid reminder of just how badly he wanted to fuck Monica again, and of how badly he wanted to fuck Ellen; and especially of how much he wanted to be with Anna again, and soon.

These were the thoughts going through his head as he found himself walking up to Cindy's apartment.

Cindy heard the knock at her door and hit mute on the remote, silencing the television. She was dressed in an oversized nightshirt, having spent the day sitting around watching the tube. She was still a little freaked out by her encounter with Jake last night, and she didn't want to leave the house. Frank's calls had gone unanswered; he was the last person she wanted to talk to right now, and she hoped that wasn't him at the front door.

Her cell phone went off a moment later. She checked and saw that it was Jake calling her, and she gasped. She wasn't sure she was ready to talk to him, and yet she'd been thinking about him all day long, about what she'd say to him about their wild sexual adventure, about how she couldn't do this again, about how much she needed him to fuck her over and over and over... She was in a pretty confused and conflicted state.

Cindy took a deep breath and nervously answered her phone, her voice trembling slightly.

"Hello, Jake?"

"Cindy, hi," Jake said, standing a few steps back from her front door. "Look, I don't to get all stalker on you, but I'm outside your apartment and I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Are you home?"

"I... um, Jake, I'm..." Cindy didn't know what to say. She wanted him so badly, she didn't trust herself to talk to him in person, but then again she couldn't bear the thought of sending him away when he was just outside her door. "Hang on a sec."

A moment later her door opened a crack and she peered out timidly at Jake. He flipped off his phone and stepped up.

"Cindy, I want to apologize for last night," he said quickly. "If you want me to leave right now, I will, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for being so aggressive. I got caught up in the moment and I, um..."

Cindy looked at him for a moment, biting her lip as she struggled with what she should do. Jake fumbled for the words, but it was hard to apologize for seducing her when she looked so fucking sexy. He saw that she was just dressed in a t-shirt nightie and he wondered if she was wearing anything underneath. Those incredible breasts of hers were jutting out at him and it didn't look like she was wearing a bra. He licked his lips, trying to focus on what he was saying.

"It's okay, Jake," Cindy was saying softly. Jake looked like he'd been at the pool; his hair was still damp and he'd gotten some sun, which only made him more attractive to her. "I... we both were pretty, um, caught up in the moment."

She shifted her weight uneasily, rubbing one of her calves with her foot.

"It's my fault, Cindy," Jake told her. "I have no excuse. And I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything, I really don't."

"Why don't you come in," Cindy suggested, opening the door for him.

Jake's conscience screamed at him to stop, to just go home and jerk off, but it was no use; he stepped once more into Cindy's apartment. The sexual tension was palpable. She turned and walked back down the short hall to her TV room, and Jake couldn't tear his eyes away from her round ass as it rotated back and forth with each step she took.

Cindy took a seat at one end of the sofa and Jake sat down at the far end; they sat facing each other shyly. Cindy's entire body was crying out for Jake to touch her, and she didn't trust herself to be with him like this, but she couldn't think of anything else to do.

Jake smiled hesitantly, interlocking his fingers in his lap as he tried to sort out his thoughts.

"Cindy, you know I really like you a lot, don't you? I mean, I consider you to be a good friend."

"I think of you as a good friend too, Jake," she said softly.

"And I'm obviously attracted to you, you know, sexually," Jake said clumsily, immediately wishing he'd phrased it differently. "What I mean is, you're such a gorgeous, sexy woman, Cindy. Sometimes it's hard not to think of you that way, especially since we, um, you know, since we were together that night."

Cindy blushed as Jake spoke. Her hands were shaking and she resisted the urge to sit on them, instead fingering the hem of her nightie nervously.

"I feel that way about you too, Jake. I mean, you obviously make me feel good," she said with a nervous laugh.

Jake smiled. Good, so she wasn't too mad at him.

"The thing is, Jake, as much as I love" -- she paused for just a second, then lowered her voice and went on -- "as much as I love what you do to me, I feel so guilty about it. I don't know how I'm going to face Josie."

Jake nodded, agreeing with her.

"So you don't hate me?" he asked.

"Hate you?" she said suddenly, her eyes wide open. "Oh Jake, I could never hate you!" She sucked in her lower lip pensively.

"I'm so relieved," Jake said. "It would just kill me to think that you were mad at me."

"God, no, Jake," she exclaimed earnestly, shaking her head. "You don't understand. I want you so badly."

Her voice had a trembling urgency to it that wasn't helping Jake with his still-raging hard-on. God, she'd fuck him again right now if he made a move. And he definitely wanted to fuck her, even more so than he'd realized.

"If things were different," Jake said softly.

"If things were different," she sighed. "Oh Jake, if things were different..."

Jake held out his left hand and Cindy slid her right into his grasp. He smiled at her, lightly squeezing her hand in his.

"So we're okay?" he asked her.

Cindy nodded, smiling shyly.

"Good."

He stood up. If I don't get out of here right now, he told himself, I'm not going to be able to keep from ravishing this incredible woman.

Cindy rose to her feet as well, and the two of them walked hand-in-hand back to her front door.

"What's going on tonight?" she asked him softly.

"I don't know, same old same old, I suppose. I'm supposed to call Anna and Monica about getting something to eat later. Interested?"

"Sure. Well, I mean, yes, but I should probably call Frank and see what he's up to. I kinda blew him off last night."

Jake smiled at her, and she grinned back at him, more relaxed now.

"Cool. Well, if that falls through, give me a ring, okay?"

Cindy nodded, letting go of his hand when he pulled it gently away. On impulse she suddenly threw her arms around Jake's neck and hugged him to her, pressing her curvy body against his. Jake didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her slender waist, and the two pressed their hungry mouths together, moaning softly as they kissed passionately.

A few moments later Cindy sighed in frustration as Jake gently pulled back, taking her arms from around his neck. He smiled at her.

"You're not making this any easier, young lady," he scolded her playfully.

Cindy grinned, licking her lips, but she nodded and stepped back.

"I'll call you," she said softly.

She closed the door after him and let out a deep, long sigh. She still felt aroused and frustrated, but she also felt a hundred times better about her situation with Jake.

Jake's erection wouldn't relent all the way home, but at least he felt like he was finally starting to get his raging libido under control. He knew as soon as he got home he'd need to relieve himself, but he felt like he'd tested himself and passed.

"Josie," he muttered under his breath, "you need to come home soon."

Ashley had changed into her bikini as soon as she'd gotten to the Tortelli's and now the four young girls were lying out next to the pool; Ashley, Fiona, Ally and little Amy were lined up in a sexy little row, their high school bods tanning nicely in the afternoon sun.

"So, Ash, come on," Fiona said, taking a sip from her water bottle. "I know something happened last night. Is everything okay?"

Ashley didn't say anything right away, but she didn't seem too happy about whatever was on her mind.

"Um, if you guys want to be alone, I can go inside," Amy suggested, assuming Ashley didn't want to talk about her boyfriend problems in front of her.

"Naw, don't to that, Amy," she said, shaking her head. "You're my friend too, you know." She gave the younger girl a wink, and Amy smiled. "It's just... God, even when things are going well they suck, you know?"

"So you saw Mr. Davis again last night?" Ally asked.

"That's just it," Ashley said, frustrated. "I get over there last night and it turns out Karen and the girls are out of town; it's just Karl and me and he's planning on spending all night with me."

"Wow," Fiona said. Ally and Amy looked surprised as well.

"Yeah, wow. So I'm all excited and stuff, and we um, you know, are intimate and all. I really thought this was a breakthrough for us, you know? Like everything was going to be different now. But then by the end of the night it was obvious that nothing's changed. I'm still just the babysitter he fucks when he feels like it."

Amy looked down, not wanting to look Ashley in the eye. She felt bad for her, but also shocked to hear her describe their relationship in such harsh terms.

"Ashley," Ally said simply, reaching over to stroke her friend's shoulder.

"Oh, I know," Ashley said, tears welling up in her eyes, "I'm an idiot to think it would be any different. I mean, fuck, he's married with children. It's not like he's gonna leave all that to be with me."

"Ash, you need to get out of that relationship," Fiona told her. "You know it's no good for you. You're already hurting, and it'll be worse if anyone ever finds out."

"It's not so easy, Fiona. I really like him."

"I know, babe, but come on, you gotta find someone new." She flipped her hair back out of her eyes. "They'll be a ton of dudes here at the party tonight. You owe it to yourself to see what's out there, if only to take your mind off Karl."

Amy's thoughts returned to Jake. She and Ashley had that in common: they both were in forbidden relationships with older men. Not that she and Jake were sleeping together or anything. At least not yet, she thought with a grin.

"I know, Fiona, you're right," Ashley said. "But god, you don't know what he does to me."

Fiona raised her eyebrows, waiting. Ally smiled.

"You mean the big 'O'?" she asked.

Ashley grinned, nodding to Ally.

"God, yes! I get so excited just thinking about him. When we're together, it's like we can't get enough of each other."

Jake shot another thick load onto the wall of the shower, and another, pumping his soapy cock as he fantasized about fucking Teagan. He'd started by imagining Cindy sucking his cock, then turned to images of fucking little Amy until she squealed with joy, after which he moved on to Anna and Monica and Josie, fucking each of them in turn in his imagination. When he'd finally found his release he was back in the boutique dressing room with Teagan, fucking her wildly shaking body as that salesgirl, Clarissa watched from behind the curtain...

"Ughnnnn!" he grunted as he came, panting heavily. The shower's spray surrounded him and finally his muscles began to relax somewhat.

Whew, he thought to himself, chuckling; that was just what I needed. He finished his long shower and came out feeling refreshed and mellow.

Despite feeling more at ease, though, he couldn't help but think that it was only a matter of time before he'd be fucking someone; he was still just too charged to get sex off his mind. He remembered how hot little Gretchen had been in the alley behind Fat Teddy's and thought about giving her a call before pushing the impulse away.

He felt almost as if he were channeling some deep reservoir of sexual energy, a force that went far beyond his own personal drive. He couldn't really explain it, but it was almost as if he was a conduit through which a powerful, constant stream of fiery potential flowed.

And for some reason, he found himself thinking about the Order of the Phoenix.

He walked out onto the top deck, naked and still dripping wet, and looked out at the view. The sky was just beginning to fade into dusk, the sunset causing a wash of deep reds and yellows, and steam rose from his body. The trees rustled and whistled in the gentle breeze, and he felt his senses tingling. Even the scent of the air was incredibly vivid to him, and he once again had the god-like feeling of total contentment and potency.

He had to smile, realizing that he was standing out on the deck buck naked, but he felt great. He stood out there for a few more minutes before heading back inside to finish drying off and putting on his clothes.

Josie's call came just as he stepped into the kitchen a few minutes later.

"Hey there, Jake. Miss me?"

"More than you can know, babe," Jake said wistfully. "How's the shoot going?"

"Oh, it's okay. Amber's been keeping me sane, and I really like working with Vanessa."

"Vanessa?"

"She's the photographer. She works us long hours, but she makes the time go by quickly. Amber and I are going out for drinks with her later tonight, after we finish shooting."

"Gotcha. So it doesn't sound like there's any chance of finishing up early?"

"Oh Jake," Josie said, recognizing the longing in his voice. "I'm sorry, sweetie, but I won't be back until late Sunday - actually, more like early Monday morning."

"I see."

"Poor baby," she cooed in a sultry voice. "I'll have to make it up to you when I get home, won't I?"

"I'll say. Don't think I won't hold you to that."

"So, what are you up to tonight?"

"I don't know. I'm supposed to meet Monica and Anna for dinner in a little while, but other than that I don't know. I might just call it an early night and catch a movie at home."
