	The three of us were inseparable all summer.  We spent entire weeks at Crystal’s dad’s apartment.  He didn’t make a single move on any of us.  Crystal had let him know what had happened so he had backed off.  
	A part of me was disappointed. I really did enjoy his flirting and being with him but, deep down, I just wasn’t ready to go back to the way things were.
	I will admit to enjoying the hell out of his reaction when found out we didn’t have any secrets between us. Especially the secrets we’d kept from Crystal about him.  He was a little pissed and very embarrassed but, after a while, he got over it.  I actually think he felt better, not having to hide things from Crystal anymore.
	Summer sped past and, before we knew it, school started again.  I think this year was the best year of school for me.  I had my evil sisters at my side and nobody dared say anything to us.  If you went after one of us, you damned well better be ready for the other two to jump your ass.
	We made sure Jennifer and the bitch brigade knew we were off limits.  We were bitches, we knew it and loved it.
	My birthday came and went.  My mother forgot but I didn’t care anymore. Mandy and Crystal made sure I enjoyed myself.  
	Crystal and Ronnie were still a couple and, on the weekends they ran off together, Mandy and I hung out together.  It was so weird at times. If you’d told me a year or so before that I’d be confiding my fears, dreams and desires to Mandy, I’d have to you that you were nuts!
	Neither Mandy nor I dated for the entire school year.  I didn’t because I was just not interested in any of the offers I got.  Most of the guys that asked me acted like little boys and I’d gotten used to more mature guys and, around my school, maturity was a rare breed.
	Mandy didn’t date because she was still scared.  They’d caught the guy that had attacked her and he was in jail but that didn’t take the fear away.  She told me the thought of being alone with a guy terrified her.  Just the thought of a man’s hands on her made her near hysterical.
	I didn’t know what to do to help her with that.  I told her it was going to take time to heal but, one of these days, the perfect guy would come along and he’d make everything better.
	School came to an end and we were free for summer.  We planned out summer around Crystal’s dad’s apartment, just like last summer.  This would be the last year we’d be able to spend at his apartment.  He was moving at the end of summer.  He’d gotten a job in California and he just couldn’t pass it up.  We were all happy for him but I felt a deep pang of sadness knowing he wouldn’t be there anymore. 
	The first day we were there, we all went down to the pool.  They have little barbeque grills around the edge of the pool area so Will, Crystal’s dad, brought down everything to make us burgers and fries.
	All three of us were splashing around in the pool but I wasn’t really paying attention to the girls. My eyes were on Will.  He’d kept his workout up and his back and shoulder muscles were very defined.  His arms were very toned and I wanted to feel them wrapped around me again.
	I was surprised at how turned on I was watching him.  I’d been a little turned on by guys I’d seen throughout the year but nothing like this.  If I didn’t watch myself I might just go over and jump him right there at the barbeque.
	A cold wave of water splashed over me and Crystal asked, “Lizzi, is it possible for you to stop thinking with your crotch for five seconds?”
	I wiped the water out of my eyes and said, “Not when there is such a fine specimen of man flesh making is dinner.”
	“Gross!” Crystal declared.
	“Sorry, Crystal, but I’m with Lizzi on this one,” Mandy said.  “Your dad is looking super hot.”
	“Ugh!” Crystal said. “I can’t take you two anywhere!”
	We laughed and splashed for a while before Crystal got serious.
	“You know, Lizzi,” she said. “My dad was very interested to know if you were going to spend summer with us.”
	“He was?” I asked, feeling my heart speed up.
	“Yeah,” she said. “And not just because he wants to bone you.  He really does care about you.”
	I looked over at him and tried to hide my smile.  Was it more than just sex to him, what we’d had?  He’d been so gentle and wonderful last summer and I hadn’t given him anything, not even a hug.  
	“You know, he asks about you every time I talk to him,” Crystal said.  “Add to that, he hasn’t been out on a date all year.  I think he really likes you.  I mean really, really likes.”
	I felt my heart racing in my chest. It had been a while since I had a guy of my own. A guy to just hold me and make me feel loved.  This may be the last chance I had to feel that kind of love from Will and I knew that I couldn’t let this chance pass me by.
	I looked at Crystal and asked, “Are you going to be okay with this?”
	She smiled at me and said, “It’s always going to be a little weird to me, Lizzi.  But you two make each other happy and I love to see you two smiling so I can make this sacrifice.”
	I looked at Mandy and asked, “Is this okay with you?”
	She looked at me in confusion.  “Why does my opinion even matter?”
	“Because if it makes you uncomfortable I won’t do it,” I said very seriously.
	She laughed and splashed me with water.  
	“Stop being a dork and go over there before I make a grab for him,” she said.
	I took a deep breath and made my way out of the pool.  I walked over and, seeing me coming, Will gave me a huge smile.  The smile made my knees wobbly and it took a lot of effort to walk the last few feet to join him.
	“Hey you,” he said.
	“Hey back,” I said.
	“Dinner’s almost ready,” he said.
	“Cool,” I replied.
	He looked at me and frowned.
	“Is everything alright?” He asked.
	I looked up into his eyes and saw the concern there. Concern for me.  He really did care for me and I knew, right then, that I really did love him.
	I reached over and took his hand in mine.  I gave it a gentle squeeze and said, “It’s better now.”
	He squeezed my hand back and grinned at me. He looked past me at Crystal and Mandy.
	“Are they okay with us?” He asked.
	“Yes,” I said.  “Crystal just wants us to be happy and, when I’m with you, I’m happiest.”
	He smiled for a second before a very serious look clouded his face.  
	“Lizzi, I’m leaving after summer,” he said. “You have another year of school and, even then, there’s so much distance and your feelings may change. I just don’t want to hurt you when I go.”
	I nodded, feeling tears stinging my eyes.
	“I’ve learned to take the happy moments and enjoy them as much as possible,” I said.  “I’d rather have a couple of wonderful months with you and be sad when you go than be sad all summer.  I really care about you, Will.”
	His smile lit up his whole face and it was all for me.  He reached up and brushed my hair behind my ear.
	“God, Lizzi, that’s all I’ve wanted to hear you say for a long time,” he said.
	I took his hand again and kissed it.  The last year melted away.  All of the pain and suffering was forgotten for that one moment and I was so thankful to have Will, if only for a while.
	We had dinner by the pool and, when we were done, we headed back to the apartment.  We played Monopoly which, by the end, turns into a cloud of money being thrown at each other.
	After we’d finished the game, and cleaned up which took almost as long as the game, we got our sleeping bags and brought them to the front room like we always did.
	“Oh please,” Crystal said, seeing mine and kicking.
	“What’s your problem?” I asked.
	“Like you’re really going to sleep out here,” she said.  “You’ll wait a while and then sneak off to my dad’s room to screw all night.”
	I looked over at Will and, seeing his face red in embarrassment, I started to giggle.  Mandy and Crystal glanced at him and joined me in giggling at him.
	“I’m glad you’re all enjoying this,” he grumbled, only making us laugh harder.
	As the laughter tapered off I thought about what tonight would mean.  I was going to openly go to bed with him.  We were going to make love and I was going to fall asleep in his bed with him.  I smiled at him and watched a smile blossom on his face.
	“You two are making me sick,” Crystal said.  “Will you just get out of here so Mandy and I can make fun of you already?”
	Will stood up from the sofa and said, “Occasionally my daughter has a brilliant idea and I really like this one.”
	He held his hand out to me but, before I took it, I ran over and gave Crystal a hug.
	“Are you sure this is okay?” I whispered.
	She laughed and said, “I love you two so much.  If I’d have known this would make both of you as happy as you are, I’d have thrown your ass at him months ago.”
	I let her go and turned to hug Mandy.
	“If you need anything or if this bugs you, come get me, okay?” I asked.
	She laughed her happy little laugh and said, “I’ll be fine.  Now go and try not to have too much fun.”	
	I giggled and said, “Oh I am going to have way too much fun.”
	I turned and, taking Will’s hand, went with him to the bedroom. 
	He was gentle. He was amazing.  He was perfect and I loved him.

*****

	The next three nights were the same. The three of us girls would spend all day causing trouble while Will was at work.  When he got home we’d have dinner and watch some TV before he and I called it a night.  We would make love and then fall into a blissfully deep sleep.
	On the fourth day, Mandy was acting a little weird but she said she was fine when we asked her.
	After TV, Will and I went to his room.  We pulled each other’s clothes off, our hands sliding all over our bare skin.
	I laid down on the bed and he kissed my legs, slowly working his way higher.  He kissed my thighs and I whimpered as his lips brushed over them small patch of hair over my pussy.  He kissed higher, licking his way up my stomach and onto my breasts.
	He sucked my nipples, holding them tight with his lips while he brushed his tongue against them.  I let out a tiny gasp with each touch of his tongue.  
	He kissed his way up my neck and, when his lips touched mine, I kissed him deeply.  He lay between my legs and I felt the head of his hard cock press against my wet pussy lips.
	He slid forward, slowly penetrating me as I let out a low moan.  He lay on top of me, his cock deep inside my pussy as we kissed.
	When someone knocked at the door, we both jumped.  We stared at each other for a minute before the knock came again.
	“What?” I asked, a little irritated at being interrupted.
	“Lizzi, can I come in?” Mandy asked quietly from the other side of the door.
	My irritation was gone instantly, replaced with worry.  I knew something had been bugging her all day and, as much as I wanted Will, Mandy’s need came first.
	“Hold on a sec,” I said.
	Will slid out of me and pulled the covers up over us to hide our naked skin.
	“Come in,” I said.
	Mandy opened the door and slipped inside.   She stood by the door, her head down, just standing there.
	“What’s wrong?” I asked.
	“I feel so dumb, Lizzi,” she said.  “I shouldn’t have come in here but…”
	“Mandy, look at me,” I said.
	She met my eyes and I could see tears running down her cheeks.  
	“Tell me what’s bothering you,” I said.
	“I want to watch,” she whispered.
	“What?” I asked, completely blown away by her answer.
	“I want to watch,” she said, her words racing out of her.  “I want to see what it’s like when you make love. We’ve seen those pornos but that’s just sex and not real. I want to see real love. I’m so scared of doing it and if I knew what it was like maybe I wouldn’t be so scared and…”
	Her words dissolved into tears and she sat down and sobbed.  Ignoring my nakedness, I threw back the covers and went to her.  I pulled her into my arms and held her while she cried.  
	“Is that why you’ve been acting funny all day?” I asked her.
	“Yes,” she said between sobs.  “I shouldn’t have, it’s not right for me to intrude on you two like this. I’m sorry, Lizzi.”
	“Shh,” I said. “Honey, all you had to do is ask. If you think it will help, I’d do anything for you. You know that.”
	“I know that, Lizzi,” she cried.  “I do but I was so afraid you’d think I was weird and not be my friend anymore.”
	I threw back my head and laughed.
	“You are weird,” I told her. “It’s why I love you, dummy.”
	I turned to Will and asked, “Can she stay?”
	He met my eyes and thought it over. 
	“Whatever you two think is best, I’ll do,” he said.
	I gave him a huge smile.  He really was the best.
	“So that’s settled,” I said.  “You stay and watch. If you feel uncomfortable or anything though, you leave. Don’t worry about us, I’m sure we’ll manage.”
	It was so weird to hear those words coming out of my mouth.  Almost the same words Tammy, Crystal’s mother, had used on me so long ago.
	Mandy let out a small laugh against my shoulder and said, “Yeah, I’m sure you will.”
	She leaned back and I gave her a smile. She returned it and said, “Lizzi, you’re kind of naked.”
	“Yeah, that happens when you’re having sex, dear,” I said.
	“And I think I was touching your boob,” she giggled.
	“Only the nipple,” I said.
	We both laughed and some of the tension of the moment was gone.  I walked back over to the bed and climbed under the covers with Will.  Mandy looked at me and asked, “What do I do?”
	“We’ll scoot over and you can sit or lay on the other side of the bed,” I told her.  “Just give me one second, okay?”
	She nodded bit her lip, some of her nervousness coming back.
	I leaned close to Will and asked, “Do you trust me?”
	He never hesitated. “Completely.”
	His quick answer brought a huge smile to my face.  I leaned close and gave him a quick kiss.
	“I want to be on top,” I said. “I don’t want you to move your hands unless I tell you to. I want her to see me in complete control.”
	He thought about it for a second and then I saw him get it.  After her attack Mandy felt out of control when it came to sex. I was going to show her that she didn’t have to be.  That, with the right, loving partner, she could control the situation and, when she was more comfortable, trust him to have some control too.
	“I think I can handle that,” he said.
	I grinned at him and said, “I can think of a couple things you can handle.”
	He leaned close and we shared a quick kiss.
	He scooted more towards the far side of the bed and I slid next to him. I waved Mandy over and she hesitated for s second before she sat on the very edge of her side of the bed. I reached over and gave her hand a squeeze. She gave me a quick, nervous smile.
	I took a deep breath and tried to calm my own nerves. What I was about to do was going to be very personal.  It would be sharing one of the most sacred parts of me with Mandy.  If ti were anyone other than her or Crystal, they would have never gotten into the room. The only reason I was going to do this for her was because I loved her as my sister.  And I would do anything for her and Crystal.
	I put my lips to Will’s and we shared a long, passionate kiss.  I kissed down his jaw and bit lightly on his neck.  I kissed through the fuzzy patch of hair on his chest and down to his stomach. 
	As I kissed my way down, I slowly revealed each inch of his bare flesh from beneath the sheet we lay under.  I knew Mandy had seen him naked before but this was different. This was so much more intimate.
	I grabbed the sheet and threw it towards the bottom of the bed, revealing our naked bodies.  I slid between Will’s legs and lay with my face just inches from his hard cock.  I wrapped my fingers around his hardness, hearing his gasp as I did. 
	Mandy’s eyes widened at the sight of Will’s cock.  She bit her lip and stared as my hand slowly stroked up and down the length of his shaft.  He let out a soft groan and balled his fists as my hand rubbed at the head of his cock.
	I leaned closed and slid my tongue up the length of his shaft. I licked a slow circle around the head of his cock before I took him into my mouth.  I rubbed the underside of his cock with my tongue as I bobbed my head up and down on him.
	I took him deep into my mouth, hearing his moans and becoming more turned on with each one. I slid his cock out of my mouth and teased at the tip with my tongue, making him squirm for me.
	I slid up his body, letting his cock drag between my breasts and the down my stomach.  I pushed him more towards the center of the bed so I could be at his side and see Mandy.  
	I wanted to see her for so many reasons. I could see she was turned on by this and her arousal only heightened mine. I also wanted to make sure she was okay with this.  If she became uncomfortable I was putting a stop to it right away.
	I kissed Will and pulled his hand towards me.  I let him slide his hand down my breasts, across my stomach and between my legs.  His finger rubbed my swollen clit, making me let out a moan.  
	I took his cock in my hand as his finger slipped into my pussy.  As I stroked him and he pleasured me, I looked past him to see Mandy.  She was breathing heavily and her eyes were on our hands.
	I let go of Will’s cock and, reluctantly, stopped his fingers. I kissed him once before I straddled him.  I held his cock as I lowered myself onto him. I eased the head of his cock in, sliding down just a little at a time, taking him all the way into me.
	I watched as Mandy’s eyes traveled down Will’s body and then up mine.  She met my eyes and I could see a hint of embarrassment.  She was seeing me like she’d never seen me before, both naked and as a sexual being, and I knew it was a little weird for her.  But I could also see the arousal in her eyes.  She was enjoying watching as much as I had once upon a time.
	I smiled at her and she gave me a coy, little smile in return.
	Slowly, I rocked my hips, sliding Will’s cock in and out of me.  I braced my hands against his chest as I rode him. I looked down and saw the heat and passion I felt reflected in his eyes.  
	I took his hand and held them over my breasts. He squeezed my breasts, rubbing my hard nipples against the palms of his hands.  He took my nipples between his fingers and gently pinched them.  I let out a loud moan and looked over at Mandy.
	She had her hand pressed between her legs but, seeing me catching her, she quickly pulled it away. He face blushed a deep red and she could barely meet my eyes.
	“It’s okay,” I said to her.
	She fully met my eyes and I said, “I touched myself while I watched.  You can do whatever you want, Mandy.  We trust you.”
	She stared at me for a minute before I could see her make up her mind.  She slipped off of the bed and quickly pulled off her nightshirt and panties.  She lay back down, completely naked, completely trusting us.
	I looked over her body.  She had runner’s legs, toned and well muscled.  He stomach was flat from both her diet and all of the running she did.  She had a splattering of freckles across both of her shoulders that I found so very cute. Her breasts were just a shade smaller than mine but, where I had tiny little nipples, hers were puffy and pink. Like me, she preferred less pubic hair and she had just a tiny line of blonde hair hiding the lips of her pussy.
	I looked up and saw her watching me, waiting for my opinion. I smiled at her and said, “You are so beautiful.”
	Tears shined in her eyes and she looked over at Will.  He’d given her body a long look as well and he said, “Lizzi, is right, honey. You are gorgeous. Both of you take my breath away.”
	She wiped her hand across her eyes and said, “Okay, stop making me all self-conscious and get back to the sex.”
	We shared a laugh that eased the last of the tension from the three of us.  
	I looked down at Will and he looked up at me. I could still see the lust and desire in his eyes but I saw something else too. I saw the love he felt for me and it made my heart ache.
	I leaned down and shared a long kiss with him.
	As I broke the kiss he said, “Honey, we should think about a condom before we go too much farther.”
	I slid off of him and reached for the night stand. I pulled out a condom and tore open the wrapper.  I slid the condom over his cock and then slid him back into me.
	I began to ride him again, just a little faster this time.
	Mandy’s hand dropped between her legs and I could see her rubbing herself.  I met her eyes as she rubbed her clit. She let out a little whimper and the sound of it sent shivers up and down my spine.
	As I rode Will harder I slid my hands onto my breasts. I rubbed my fingers around my nipples feeling how hard and sensitive they were.  Mandy slid her other hand onto her breast and toyed with her nipple as well.  We both pinched at our nipples, each watching the other, making the moment so much more erotic.
	I watched as Mandy slid her finger lower and slipped it into her pussy.  She whimpered again I shivered at the sound.  It was so raw and lusting, it made gooseflesh spring up all over my body.
	I rocked my hips faster, riding Will’s cock hard, feeling it ramming deep inside my pussy. I leaned forward to ride him even harder.
	Mandy’s finger matched my rhythm and we both began to breathe harder.  I felt my whole body began to shake as my orgasm closed in on me.  Mandy cried out and slid her finger deep into her pussy.  She ground herself on her finger, pushing it as deep as she could into herself.
	I slid down Will’s cock and felt my orgasm explode.  I pressed myself down on his cock, wiggling and rubbing it deep inside me as I cried out.
	Will only lasted another second before he grabbed my hips and pushed himself hard against me.  I felt his cock tremble as he came inside me.  He grunted with each spasm of his cock inside me.
	As his orgasm ended, I lay down on top of him, feeling the heat of his body against mine. I looked over at Mandy and she lay there next to us, satisfied and looking so very at ease.  
	She looked at me and smiled.
	“That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” she said.
	I grinned at her and said, “You look so happy.”
	She thought about it for a moment. “I am,” she said. “I feel safe. I feel like I don’t have to hide. I can just be me.”
	“Just not the bitchy old you,” I teased.
	She stuck her tongue out at me. She slipped off the bed and gathered he clothes.
	“If that’s how you’re going to be, I’ll just leave,” she joked.
	“Well, hurry up already,” I said. “He can only go twice a night and I need to get it while the getting’s good.”
	“You say the most wonderful things about me, sweetheart,” Will said.
	Mandy dressed and walked over to the door.  She stopped and looked back at us.
	“If I wanted to watch again, could I?” She asked.
	“Any time you want,” I said.  I knew I should have asked Will but, while I was sure I loved him, Mandy and I shared a bond that went deeper than he and I.  I would kill for her. I would die for her. And I knew she felt the same.
	With one last smile she slipped out of the room.  After she was gone, I gave Will a long, deep kiss.
	“What was that for?” He asked.
	“For being so understanding.  For being so caring.  For everything,” I said.
	He smiled and brushed his fingers along my face.
	“It’s the least I can do for the woman I love,” he said.
	Tears burned in my eyes and I whispered, “I love you.”
	He kissed me and said, “I love you too, Lizzi.”
	I put my head against his chest and he held me while I cried. I didn’t cry because I hurt. For the first time in forever, I cried because I didn’t know how to contain the joy I felt.
