Chapter 250: A Little Quality Time With Ava

Sunday, June 19, 2005 (Continued)

I wrapped myself in a towel off the floor, then went to find Vanessa. It was fairly late, so her bedroom was my first destination. Vanessa and Prof's bedroom door was closed but I could see that their light was on, so I knocked quietly.

Prof called, "Come in."

To make doubly sure it was safe, I said, "It's Mark."

"Come in, Mark."

I ended up staying for quite a while, discussing various topics. I wasn't worried about keeping the girls waiting, as I was pretty sure they'd find something to talk about.

One of Vanessa's questions was how much sex Carol had just had, and Ava's involvement in it.

I answered truthfully, describing Ava's complete lack of concern about sibling incest, and a summary of what had happened in the hot tub and Julia's room, including that I hadn't touched Carol sexually. I didn't mention that I'd used NP. They're invisible, so easy not to count.

"You trust Ava that much?"

"Yes. I'm very sure she's fine. She was telling the truth about not caring about Carol and me being related. She wasn't put off by it, and she wasn't the least bit turned on by it either. Carol might as well have been unrelated to me as far as Ava's emotions are concerned. And there's never been the slightest sign of her even looking tempted to tell anyone anything we've asked her not to. The only real risk is her accidentally letting it out, which is a mistake any of us could make."

Talking about Carol's having sex reminded me about Carol's having sex, so I asked Vanessa what she thought about Carol busting her tough hymen a few days before the wedding night.

They were naturally curious at my knowing about Carol's hymen, so I had to explain, "I can't explain how I know. It's kind of a special ability, but it's going to be useful for only a little while longer. It's not specific to hymens or Carol either. The things I said about Mom is information I got the same way. The story I've been saying was that I had some insights while I was imprisoned. That's kind of true, and kind of not true, but it's the closest I can come."

"Because you're unable to describe it better, or you choose not to?" asked Prof.

"Choose, unfortunately, as I'd prefer to be unable. You and Vanessa would be who I'd tell if I was going to tell anyone, but then you'd tell me off for telling you. It's knowledge I'm responsible for now, and I'd be extremely irresponsible to let it out. So should Carol bust her hymen in advance?"

Prof and Vanessa were clearly tempted to pursue it. I smiled at them and shook my head, and they let it go.

Vanessa said, "Unless busting Carol's hymen would ruin her wedding night for her, I suggest you leave it intact until her wedding night. Distract her as much as you can at the time, and do it quickly. From what Julia has told me, when two of you gang up on one girl, she's quickly overwhelmed by all the sensations. That'd be a good way of doing it with Carol."

#7: <Why did Vanessa say, "From what Julia's told me"? I thought she had her own experience at threesomes. Even if they were two guys and Vanessa - which I'd prefer not to think about - they'd still be able to overwhelm her.>

#1: <3B's Vanessa had threesomes? Cool.>

#2: <Were they with Prof?>

#7: <We don't know. For some reason we were rather reluctant to ask for details. Didn't your Vanessa ever imply she'd had some flexible experiences when she was talking to Ava right after Ava and us exchanged our commitments?>

#2: <Nothing as interesting as that.>

#6: <That'd be another dimensional difference then.>

#2: <Quite a big one, for Vanessa and Prof.>

[[Wrong. Neither 3B's nor 3A's Vanessas had ever had a threesome. In terms of quantity, they'd had quite boring sex-lives, not that either of them thought that about their sex-life. The dimensional difference was that 3B had been already in a sexual relationship with Carol, and thus overly conscious of multi-participant sex. 3B had foolishly seized Vanessa's very slightly ambiguous words - about the need to have quality one-on-one times between pairs of Julia, Ava and me - as justification for their one-track thoughts. 3A had heard the same words, but hadn't been silly enough to think that just because Vanessa understood how men and women would need to relate in a threesome, didn't mean that she had personal experience of it.]]

Vanessa added, "Carol could take a couple of painkiller tablets before. Nothing strong; just whatever over-the-counter painkillers your family uses. That'd help her afterward, and make it easier for her to sleep."

"Thanks. Having discussed Carol's sexual activity, it's Donna's turn. Or as I told Mom, Donna's non-turn. When Carol and I start having sex, presuming that happens, then Donna is going to get very eager to have sex with me too. In Donna's opinion, what's good enough for one sister is good enough for the other. Unfortunately, Donna's too emotionally immature for sex, and too immature for secrets. I can keep most of my special abilities hidden from her, but she's already getting interested in sex. And when Donna wants something, she isn't subtle about it, and doesn't take kindly to being frustrated. If Carol and I don't get Mom and Dad's blessing, then it won't be any more of a problem than with any other girl, and I could easily leave the handling of it to Mom. But if Carol and I do get married, then Donna's going to be coming to me for sex. So this is what I've thought of doing at the wedding ceremony..." I went on to describe my light blob plan, giving them a demonstration of it.

Prof chuckled while Vanessa told me, "I can see only three problems: the risk in showing Andrew and Robert, what Donna's going to think when she finds out the truth, and the danger of Donna telling anyone about them. You did say she wasn't good at keeping secrets."

"Yeah. The Boys I feel comfortable about, and I'm sure I don't need to praise your boys to you.

^-- "I'm hoping that in something like three years or so, when Donna's mature enough for sex, I'll sit her down and explain the deception. Hopefully she'll understand the reason for it, and I should have quite a lot of credibility in her eyes by then. Also Carol and I would've spent at least a year living away from home, so Donna should've got away from the mindset that she can have whatever Carol has.

^-- "Your last concern is a worry. I've got an idea that should make her extremely cautious about ever lying to me..." I described that. "That should scare her enough, and then there's the rather confusing thing that girls don't seem to be interested in science fiction. That's clearly one of their failings, but it makes it less likely for Donna to blab."

"It comes down to your judgment, Mark. You know - in a way we don't understand - how difficult Donna's going to be about sex in the future."

"I can see you've both got a little gleam in your eyes over the 'in the future' comment. To get that out of your head, let me assure you that I can't tell the future in any way whatsoever. Carol also suggested I could read minds; or I'd died, gone to Heaven, and then been sent back with extra information. For God knows what reason, haha. All of those are so far away from truth that they're not even on the same planet. Anything involving other planets and aliens is also so far away it's not on the same planet either.

^-- "I've never heard anyone ever suggest my situation, whereas those ideas are so common they're on TV every week. If you ever guess what my situation is, I'll never eat roast chicken again, that's how confident I am that it'll never occur to you. My advice - and my request really - is that you stop thinking about it."

"Okay," agreed Prof. "I can't stop myself thinking about it sometimes - because whatever it is, it's an incredible secret - but we'll accept that it's your call."

Vanessa nodded her agreement.

"Thanks. I like my idea for reining Donna in, or I wouldn't have mentioned it. So unless something happens that changes my mind, that's what we'll probably do during the ceremony."

Prof joked, "So you don't know next week's lottery numbers. Darn, that would've been useful."

"You can say that again! I'd LOVE to have a few more million. That's not being too greedy, is it? Haha."

We chatted about a few other bits and pieces, but nothing of any significance. I did mention that my studies were flying along nicely, because they both appreciated good news on that topic.

Vanessa gave me the mask, then I went to have my shower.

When I returned to the bedroom, the girls were cuddling under the covers, with Carol 'trapped' in the middle, although Carol was obviously very happy with the situation. They were talking rather than having sex, but had it been sex with Carol in the middle, that would've been okay, as it would've happened with awareness that Carol might want to 'escape'.

I held up the mask, saying, "Mission accomplished. I've just realized I haven't got a clue what we're doing tomorrow now that our trip to Portland's been canceled. What's the plan, Julia?"

"No plans. It's summer, so I'm on vacation."

"Haha. Like I believe you could resist making plans for three months."

"Let's see what the weather's like in the morning, and think about it then."

"Gosh, you MUST be on vacation. Seeing as we don't have anything specific tomorrow, do you want to stay awake to talk for longer?"

"I haven't caught up on my sleep since exams," said Ava.

"Me neither," agreed Carol.

"Sleep sounds good to me too," from Julia, which made it unanimous.

Ava got out of bed, saying, "I'll have a quick shower and meet you in the study, Mark?"

"Sure."

Ava grabbed one of the towels off the floor and left the room.

I moved to get my sweats to wear when I got up to study, but, #1: <Don't worry about our sweats.>

#4: <Aren't we going to study?>

#1: <We won't need our sweats in the morning. Trust me on this.>

#7: <What have you got in mind?>

#1: <You'll enjoy it more if I don't tell you, haha.>

#7: <Now we're doing it to ourselves! Next thing you know, we'll be blowing mental raspberries at each other too. And PLEASE resist doing so now. I know how all of your senses of humor work.>

#5: <Aww.>

I changed direction to kiss Carol and Julia goodnight. That caused Carol to start a conversation about how wonderful her life was now, which we were still discussing when Ava stuck her head in to say, "I thought you'd STILL be talking, Mark. Boys never stop. Can't you see Carol and Julia are in bed trying to get to sleep? {Giggle}."

Julia got out of bed, saying, "We should have a quick wash too. That'll force Mark to stop talking to us."

I complained bitterly about all the injustices in my life. I got zero sympathy, so I left the room.

In the study, #1 wanted us to move the scrolling keyboard back up to the desk.

#3: <Why?>

#1: <I'll tell you in the morning.>

#3: <Why not do it in the morning?>
