Chapter 14
Lisa-Marie and I were still holding Andy moments later when the phone rang. I glanced at Lisa-Marie and she swung her head toward the phone, so I assumed she wanted me to take it and gently disengaged myself to answer it. Instead of picking up the phone in the hall, I went into the living room and flopped on the couch, grabbing the handset as I sat down.
"Hello. Tom here."
"Tom, it's Pam. I was calling to find out how Andrea is doing. Did you go and bring her home today?"
"Yeah, we did. Right now she's getting a hug from Lisa-Marie and I was there too, until the phone rang."
"Oh, sorry about that, but I was worried. I know what she's going through."
"Yeah, if anyone does, you should, but I think in her case there might be fewer feelings of guilt involved. The doctor has made sure she knew that the baby couldn't have survived. The foetus was badly deformed."
"Oh my. That's a burden in itself. How is Lisa-Marie handling it?"
"Wonderfully, I think she's got her feet back on the ground. Now that she's needed for something like this, I can see a change in her. On top of that, I think she's settling down anyway. It's like she's nesting."
"Well of course she is. She's in her own home and she's sharing it with you." Pam laughed slightly. "I could hear the difference in the way she spoke about it late last week, It was as if the whole house was becoming real to her, not as if she was living in a dream of some kind."
"Well, I assumed that was just her coming down from all of those stupid drugs." I said vehemently. "I do agree about the dream analogy though. Right now with Andy's problems, I'm not too sure how much of this is a dream at all."
"Oh, that will straighten itself out, Tom. You're just going to have to be patient." I could hear the gentle smile in her voice. "I can't think of any two people who would be better to have in that situation. Lisa-Marie knows what I went through from a woman's perspective and you know what to do to help. I wish in a way I'd had two people with your experience to help me, even if I would never wish that sort of catastrophe on anyone."
"Well, I hope your faith in us is warranted."
"Oh, Tom. Don't worry yourself about that. If anything you may be too compassionate at times so you get too tied up in other's problems. Thank goodness for that streak of common sense that comes from your father's side of the family." She chuckled slightly. "Joe wants to know how your school work is coming?"
"Oh, I'm doing fine. By the way, Lisa-Marie tells me that you agree with her about dropping out of that Small Business Course she was taking. What's up with that?"
"Tom, I don't think she should have ever started that course." Pam sighed softly. "She was never extremely strong at mathematics and that course is meant for a bunch of number crunchers. All it did was put her under a lot of pressure that she really didn't need."
"I think I mentioned something like that when she started the course, but since she seemed to think it was what she felt she had to do, I certainly feel that I supported her."
"I know you really questioned her wanting to take the course in the first place. Then you did support her in any way you could once she'd started the course, but in a way, you were part of the problem. You were doing so well in the courses you took and she felt she had to try to keep up to you. I think she felt that otherwise she was going to be letting you down."
I sat there for a moment and thought about it. Damn, Pam might be right. Lisa-Marie was a competitive little wench at times and she certainly insisted on pulling her own weight at any time.
"Shit." I swore softly. "Damn it Pam, why didn't you say anything to me about this before now? Her health and happiness are certainly more important to me than any damn piece of crap paper for a bloody course would ever be."
"I didn't say anything before, because you never asked outright and she asked me not to say anything unless you did." Pam sighed again. "It's our fault as much as yours. Joe knew about my feelings too."
"Oh man." I sighed heavily. "Well, what's past is over and done with, but I agree, the course can go to hell. My gal being healthy and happy is a lot more important than that is."
"Good, now if there's anything we can do to help you with Andrea, just let us know."
"Thanks, but I think right now she just needs peace and quiet. She's got to put her own thoughts and feelings back in the right order, we're just going to be here to support her."
"Well, I'll let you get back to the two of them, and tell them both 'Hi' from us. I'll call again in a day or two. We'll see you in a few weeks."
"Okay, see you then."
I listened as the phone was hung up on the other end and then I stood up slowly. In a way I felt terrible. After all, it might well have been my fault that Lisa-Marie had felt enough pressure to start taking those damn drugs and I really didn't like that thought.
Now I was feeling guilty and I liked that even less.
I walked back into the kitchen and found Lisa-Marie and Andy sitting down at the table again and talking quietly.
"Was that Mom calling?" Lisa-Marie asked.
"Yeah, she told me not to disturb you though, she wanted to talk to me I guess."
"Unh huh, that's who I thought it was. She said this morning that she was going to want to talk to you. What did she want?"
"We were talking about your course and I think after talking with her, I agree, perhaps you should pack it in."
"I owe Mom a hug." She grinned at me. "And, thank you. I had enough trouble with all the rest of the stuff they threw at us. I certainly wasn't looking forward to the idea of spending four months doing advertising junk, but it's sure going to 'p' off one of my instructors."
"Why is that?" Andy asked quietly.
"Well, he said I was his most improved student and he also said that I 'thought around corners' from everyone else."
"That I can believe." I laughed. "He should live in the same house with you for a week and see what he thinks then."
"Oh, I don't know? He had me in his classes for up to four hours a day on some days." She grinned at me. "That's more than you get to see me most days."
"Yeah, but in less than two months I get to live with you all day every day." I walked over and put my hands on her shoulders and rubbed gently. "I guess I'll just have to find you some corners to think your way around."
She chuckled softly and leaned her head over to press it on one hand.
"Oh do your hands feel good." She sighed. "When do I get one of your special back rubs?"
"I don't know, do you think you need one?"
"Mmm, I always need one, but you know what? I'll bet Andy needs one more than I do."
"It sounds like I'm going to have a busy evening, this evening." I bent to kiss and nibble an ear lobe that was clear of her hair.
"Oh, don't do that right now." She shivered. "You know what that does to me."
"My, yeah, I do." I chortled.
"Andy, if he does that again, I may be asking you to take that bath really soon." Lisa-Marie sighed as I ran my thumbs up and down her upper spine between her shoulder blades.
"I think really soon might be an idea anyway." Andy sighed. "Right now everything between my knees and my belly button feels tender and I don't want to be too groggy from pain pills if I'm going to be in a tub full of hot water."
"No, I wouldn't think that was a good idea. Perhaps Lisa-Marie should take a chair and sit with you." I suggested. "I can survive another night without."
"Oh no." Lisa-Marie mumbled softly. "I want some 'tention too."
"Jeez, are his hands that good at back rubs? He's only been standing behind you for a couple of minutes."
"Uh huh, he is." Lisa-Marie sighed, then suddenly she sat up straight and shifted her shoulders up and down and her body from side to side so she could dislodge my hands. "Tom, stop that. Please?"
"Okay, I'll be good." I grinned and moved to pull out a chair so I could sit at the end of the table.
"So, how are we going to do this?" Andy asked.
She looked across the table at Lisa-Marie and some subliminal message must have passed between the two of them because first Lisa-Marie smiled, then Andy did. Then both of them turned and looked at me.
"We have a challenge for you." Lisa-Marie smiled, one of those smiles that you see on a cat that just ate the canary. "How tough are you?"
"Tonight, I'm weak as a kitten." I answered, knowing better than to say I was feeling strong and sassy.
"Oh come now. The way your hands felt a while ago, you're tougher than that." Lisa-Marie grinned. "It's not like you did a lot of hard work today, even if you were under a lot of tension."
"Lets hear what you have in mind and I'll tell you whether it's possible or not."
"Well, what I'd like is for both Andy and me to have a short back rub and then while she goes and relaxes in the tub, I'll give you a big reward."
"Two back rubs and sex? What do you think I am, the man of steel?"
"Just short ones, Andy just needs to relax a bit and all you need to do to me is get me going the way you can. Then I promise, I'll make sure you remember tonight for a long, long time."
"Actually, I'll remember tonight forever anyway. Tonight is the night I let you talk me into sleeping with you and Andy. How could I forget that?"
"So, I'll make sure it's even more special." She grinned. "And you won't even have to work hard. Well, not as hard as usual."
"I think you have a nefarious reason for asking me to do this." I hedged, but I knew I was going to get talked into it, after all, I was dealing with Lisa-Marie.
We carried on talking for several minutes, but in the long run I gave in, just as I knew I would. Actually the idea of giving both of them back rubs wasn't something I minded anyway. It was just that for me, giving a back rub to a woman had extreme sexual connotations to it. I'd only done it before with Lisa-Marie and each time we had ended up having dynamite sex afterward.
I was going to have to be very careful about how I treated Andy and about how and where I rubbed. For one thing, I didn't want to make her tense and work her abdominal muscles too hard. And of course, I didn't want to work to far down the sides of her body toward her breasts.
As we went upstairs, Lisa-Marie suggested that I use the bathroom before I started the back rubs, warning me in her own way that she knew as soon as I was done giving her hers, she was going to want to make love. I just grinned and followed orders. From here on I had the idea that this was her show and I really didn't know how it was going to end, but I'd given in and was now trusting her. I must admit I did have reservations, but at the same time I was looking forward to the whole session.
Hey, I admit it, I'm a guy and I had gotten into what might well have been a sexual fantasy for many men. My fiancée was going to be with me while I gave a back rub to a very attractive naked woman in my bed. Admittedly she wasn't someone I planned on having sex with, but just the idea of rubbing the bare flesh of a sexy eighteen year old woman while my own partner looked on was causing a reaction from my libido.
When I walked into the bedroom, Andy was already laying face down on the bed, her arms spread on the pillows above her head and her back bare. Lisa-Marie was slowly stroking her finger over Andy's shoulder blades and to my surprise, she was nude as well.
"What are you surprised about?" Lisa-Marie grinned at me.
"Nothing really, but I was wondering if the bed was really the best place to do this. I really don't want to put any strain on Andy's pelvic area or her abdominal muscles. They've been strained in the last couple of days and I certainly don't want to make it worse."
Andy rolled onto one arm and frowned at me. "Tom, I didn't give birth to a full term baby, my body rejected a foetus that was less than two months old. Do you have any idea how small a foetus is at that time? It was probably less than the size of a golf ball."
"Uhm, and what does that mean?" I asked, trying to look at her face, not her exposed breast.
"It means that I wasn't hurt badly, for instance just how big is the head on your cock? And be truthful, remember, I've seen it at full arousal."
"Well, it's not as big as a golf ball, besides, it's not hard as a golf ball, it distorts."
"Okay, that's true, but what I'm telling you is that I didn't have to strain hard. Oh, my cervix is stretched out of shape and that's painful. And, I used muscles that I never expected to have to use, but I'm not torn open or bleeding. I don't have any stitches like some women have to have after giving birth or anything." She rolled over even further so that now she was on her side and her breasts were open to my gaze. "If I had sex I could get hurt, because my cervix is all stretched and some of the muscles are probably weakened, but we aren't talking about sex are we?"
"No, we're not." I said vehemently.
"Good." She flopped back onto her stomach and shifted into the position she had been in before. "Just so you know, I'm tender and I'm grouchy, but I'm not dying or anything. Oh and do me a favour, if you're planning on straddling my ass with your legs, would you take off your jeans, I don't want my thighs chaffed."
I just stared at her in astonishment, where had that come from? She wasn't acting like the Andy I knew at all. My eyes shifted from her to Lisa-Marie who seemed almost as surprised as I was. Our eyes met and Lisa-Marie shrugged her shoulders as if she didn't know what was going on either. Resolving to still be careful, I did pull off my jeans, then decided to hell with it and stripped to my shorts.
"Chicken." Lisa-Marie teased as I moved to the bed and carefully set one knee on either side of Andy's thighs.
She leaned toward Andy. "He kept his shorts on."
Andy just grunted softly, then sighed as my hands touched her back.
"I'm just going to work on your upper back." I said quietly, running my hands slowly up and down her spine, then over her shoulders. "If I do anything that causes even a tinge of pain in your lower belly, holler, okay?"
"Okay, but won't you be rubbing harder than this?"
"Yes I will, right now I'm checking to see just where your muscles are tightest." I answered, pressing harder now.
Her back and shoulders were tight, but nothing was really knotted or bunched. Under her soft skin and tender flesh, I could feel the muscles of a very strong young woman.
"Damn, you're in great shape." I said quietly, leaning forward to work on the muscles of her shoulders near her neck.
"Ung . . . thank . . . you." She grunted.
"Shut up." I growled. "Just breathe slowly and deeply and don't tense up."
I slowly worked on her shoulders, concentrating on the one, then getting her to turn her head to the other side and working on the other. After I'd done that, I slowly worked my way downward, mostly using the pads of my fingers and thumbs to roll and ease the small tense areas I encountered. I couldn't help watching the soft swellings on each side of her chest where the flesh of her breasts was bulging out past her rib cage, and I knew that I was gradually developing a king-sized boner.
When I reached her mid back, I paused.
"Andy, have I hurt you at all? I don't really want to be too energetic since I don't know how much you can take right now."
"I'm fine and you could have been a lot rougher." She sighed softly. "It feels wonderful, but I'd like more. In fact, I'm going to warn you that when I'm not hurting anymore, I want a real back rub, just as hard as you want to make it."
"Will this do for now?"
"I guess so." She sighed. "I think you're just teasing me though."
"Tom, go over her back again, just a bit harder and I'll go run the tub for her so she can hop right into it after you're done, okay?"
"Oh yes, please." Andy agreed emphatically.
So I worked my way back upward, pressing harder, using more of my hands, in effect increasing the sensations that she was feeling. By the time that I was again working on her shoulders, she was moaning softly. I sat back and looked up as Lisa-Marie came into the room and grinned at me.
"Okay, Andy, sit up slowly and slide to the edge of the bed." I ordered as I moved away. "If you lay there, you'll go to sleep."
"Oooh. I see what you mean." Andy moaned softly as she slowly moved to sit on the edge of the bed. "I do want to go to sleep."
"Just a bit more, then you can go have a bath." I grinned at Lisa-Marie as I shifted on my knees to move close to Andy's back. "Just put your hands on your knees and let your head droop forward for a moment."
Lisa-Marie chuckled slightly, knowing what was coming as I again rested my hands on Andy's shoulders. With her head and shoulders relaxed, I could now relieve some of the tensions I could feel in her shoulder muscles and upper pectorals. I knew that Lisa-Marie loved me to massage the whole of her upper chest after a long day because she said that gravity played havoc with the muscles there. I suppose any woman whose breasts get any appreciable size at all would feel the same way.
By running my fingers forward, over Andy's shoulders, I could reach the worst of the tense areas and I gently eased them as much as I could. All the while my fingers worked, she sighed and moaned softly. Then as I moved my hands to work on the muscles of her neck and finally paused, lifting my hands, she groaned.
"Oops, did I hurt something?" I asked as I sat back.
"No, but you're gonna stop, aren't you?" She whispered.
"For tonight I am." I answered firmly. "Now are you just relaxed, or are you sleepy?"
"Mostly relaxed." She sighed. "I guess I should go soak, huh?"
"It's all ready." Lisa-Marie grinned. "Want me to help you get into the tub? Then Tom can get those shorts off and relax for a minute or two himself."
"Mmm, I guess so." Andy murmured.
As Lisa-Marie moved over to her, I slid to the edge of the bed and dropped my legs to the floor, then sat there, flexing my hands. Andy got to her feet and then turned toward me. Before I could move, her hands reached out and she was holding my face between them. Then she leaned forward and kissed me.
I was slightly surprised and I suppose my mouth opened in shock. She decided to take advantage of that and the tip of her tongue drove inward as if searching for my tonsils. Then she was pulling away and grinning at me.
"Thank you." She said with a laugh at my shocked face.
Almost instantly, she and Lisa-Marie were walking away, leaving me speechless. I sat there for almost a minute, then slowly stood and stripped off my shorts before slipping back and sitting on the bed again. When Lisa-Marie came back into the room, I looked at her quizzically.
"Are you setting me up to be seduced?" I asked flatly.
"No, I guess I was last week, but not now. However, I won't interfere if that's what you need to do." Lisa-Marie flopped down at my side. "I'll do just about anything to get her back on her feet. Now roll over and lie on your stomach."
"Huh, why?"
"Because I saw you flexing your hands. You haven't been working much lately and if you give me a rub too, you'll hurt yourself. Besides, after that drive this morning, you're tense as blue blazes. You need a back rub more than I do." She ordered, pushing me back onto the bed.
Then she grinned and flexed her hands. "I, on the other hand, have been working at making bread and grinding herbs, things of that sort. Also, although I took the same massage course you did, you seldom let me use it to relax you. It's time for me to pay you back."
"But I thought . . ."
"Sometimes, you think too much. Now move, and roll onto your belly!" She laughed softly
So I reached out and grabbed her, kissed her quickly, then rolled onto my belly. First though, I pushed the pillows aside and used my lower arms to rest my head on.
Lisa-Marie shifted over and straddled my hips, then leaned forward and kissed me on one shoulder, then the other.
"First off, I want to talk." She announced, her hands now stroking my arms gently. "This way I can whisper in your ear and there's no way she can hear me, especially since I've closed both doors."
"What is this? Some big secret?" I whispered back.
"Not from you, silly, just Andy." She sighed "I've been watching her watch you and from the way she acts, she wants to make love to you. What I want to know is what you really feel about that?"
"I don't want to think about it, but because you just made it clear you seem to want me to, I think I have to tell you that I really don't think it's a good idea." I answered firmly.
"What, thinking about it or making love to her?"
"Oh, don't be silly." I grouched slightly. "I'm a guy, and she's a sexy young woman. I can't help thinking about it, but I don't really want to do it. You're the one I want to make love to."
"Good answer, sexy." She kissed my cheek. "Now, can you turn her down and still make her think she's sexy, or do you think that's impossible?"
"Pardon me?"
"Look, I want her to feel that she's still desirable and I really don't want you to fuck her, but if you have to, just to make her feel like a sexy wench, then I'm not going to stop you. Okay, do you understand?"
"So you're pulling any barrier out of my way, but you want me to be good and still act like she's someone I want to take to bed?"
"Exactly, and just so you know, the idea of offering you to her turns me on. So I'm probably going to tease you at the same time, maybe even act like I want you to take her to bed."
"Jeez, Woman, what are you trying to do to me?"
"I'm not sure, test you, I guess." She sighed. "And at the same time, I'm testing myself."
"I really don't think it's a great idea." I frowned. "Dammit, you're the woman I want in my bed."
"Well, for now, you're stuck with two of us. I'm not about to push Andy away and right now she needs to feel like she's the most desirable person around."
"That's going to be damned hard if you plan on still being here." I growled. "She can't hold a candle to you."
"Oh sometimes you say the nicest things." She sighed and I could see her smile out of the corner of my eye. "Do you really want a back rub, or can I just roll you over and fuck you silly?"
"I'll even cooperate and roll over if you want." I chuckled. "That's the best idea you've had in a while."
"So roll." She giggled and slipped to one side.
"Okay." I agreed, already moving.
"Trust me, Baby." She whispered. "One of the women at my course told me how to do this and she said it blows her husbands mind."
I wondered what she meant, but I'd hardly shifted to my back when she dove toward my crotch, both hands grasping the shaft of my hard-on and steering the head to her open mouth. I gasped as she drew it far inside and then bobbed her head up and down rapidly. Then she paused, swung herself around to look at me and held just the glans in her mouth. I could see her eyes almost dance and a grin try to crease her stretched lips. She sucked hard and at the same time, wedged her tongue under the glans and ran the tip of her tongue from side to side across the fraenum below the glans.
I damn near came and had to strain not to, then without seeming to pause and still sucking hard, her head dropped and my hard cock was driven inward all the way to the back of her mouth. She shifted and pressed again, twisting to lie between my legs. My cock was pulled downward and her head cocked backward at a weird angle. She took two or three deep breaths, then her neck seemed to stretch and I was in her throat. She swallowed and there was no way I could hold back.
I felt a spurt rush outward, knew I was about to unload completely. Yet her fingers slid between her lips and my body, circled my cock and cinched tight. I felt the pressure, but now I was frustrated, there was no relief. Her lips slowly slid to the tip of my hard-on and she lifted her head.
"Now, you're primed and loaded." She grinned, and it was that cat who'd eaten the canary grin, that I'd learned to be leery of.
Then she moved again, she straddled my hips, lifted, slowly settled downward. Warmth, moistness, pressure, smooth slipperiness, then a gentle pulsation that slowly built as she sank downward. Buried to the hilt, I felt her grab my wrists, raise my hands and then I was holding her soft smooth breasts, her nipples drilling into my palms. The gentle pulsations strengthened and she smiled as my gaze moved down to her stomach, my hands moving, squeezing, caressing. Her body was actually squeezing and pulling each time it tightened and I couldn't help but moan softly.
I tried to press deeper and she lifted upward.
"Shove!" She demanded. "Shove hard."
I shoved and she squeezed, then her body seemed to draw against me as I settled downward. I stared at her and she giggled.
"Oh, I've been waiting for this." She chortled. "I've exercised every day for three months during those boring classes. Now tell me, was it worth it?"
"Oh God yes." I sighed. "But why now? Why not show me before?"
"Because now, I might have competition." She laughed softly. "First Fran's blow job and now Andy coming onto you like gang busters, I was going to save this for our honeymoon, but now I can't wait. I want you to know who the best fuck in the house is so I don't stand any chance of losing you."
"You never had any chance anyway."
"It doesn't hurt to be sure." She grinned. "Now, are we talking, or screwing?"
I heaved upward in answer and to my surprise she shifted, then as she grinned we were on our sides, then I rolled above her.
"Hard now." She breathed into my ear. "I need you as much as you need me."
That was the permission I needed to hear. I was wound up so tight that I wanted nothing more than rough, ragged, raw sex and I sought it, found it, gloried in it. My hips slammed against her, our pelvises slapping together over and over as my hands massaged and squeezed her breasts. Both of us became vocal, encouraging each other to further feats, then suddenly she screamed in my ear, her body arching under me. She was having an orgasm and yet I didn't even feel close. Somehow my body wanted more, needed more, demanded more.
Even as she went into the temporary rigour of her climax, my hips still slammed against her body, drove onward, seeking its own release. I was out of control and I knew it, yet it seemed okay with Lisa-Marie because she rejoined my motions, matched my rhythm, her hips slapping back to meet mine. Her hands clawed at my back, her legs lifted, spread, clasped around my hips, her pelvis rolled upward to meet my slamming heaves.
Then I felt relief coming and I saw stars, felt Lisa-Marie again stiffen. Nothing else mattered. I was emptying myself, filling her. I roared in relief.
Then I collapsed.
Maybe I fell instantly asleep?
Perhaps I simply passed out from relief?
I don't know, but I do know I lost awareness for a while.
I may have been dreaming, but I think I heard voices a short time later.
"Oh my! Are you okay? Is he crushing you?" Andy's voice seemed to drift out of a fog.
"Umm, yeah, but I don't mind. I didn't want to wake him." Lisa-Marie whispered back. "Maybe we can shift him without waking him."
I felt my body being pushed and pulled, then I think I was on my back.
"Oh man, now he's in the middle of the bed. I thought you should be between us."
"Just leave him there, I'll cuddle one side and you get the other."
"But like he said, what if his hands or mine wander during the night."
"Honey, just get into bed. Move his arm so you can lay your head on his shoulder and go to sleep. I just blew his cork and if he can get it up, you've got my permission to screw his ass into the bed." Lisa-Marie sounded annoyed, then her voice softened. "But, you really don't have to worry, he's out of it and I'm not going to worry about a pat or a tickle. Now get some sleep."
I felt my arms being moved, felt two heads rest on my shoulders, then felt the blankets being pulled over us.
Maybe I wasn't dreaming?
