I knew that he and Lila’s bedroom faced the front of the house and Cherry Lane.  But for the briefest of moments I could have sworn the pretty lace curtains that hung in the deceased Emily’s bedroom quivered.

I stared hard for a moment, but after a few beats I shook it off as simple paranoia.

I turned around and padded naked and wondrously hard again back to my beloved, naked Tom Sherwood.

Chapter Six

Natalie

 

 

So I’m a virgin.  So freaking what!

I know it’s not popular, or chic anymore—hasn’t been, really, since the Spanish Inquisition—but damn it to hell, I’m not just going to give my V to just anyone.  And until recently I’d been planning on keeping it until well after college.  I wanted it to be with someone I loved, and who loved me…someone I’d be with forever.

The word forever is like freaking crack to teenaged women…hell, women of any age go weak in the knees and lose major IQ points whenever they even think the damn word.

It should be erased from the English language.  After all, it is a meaningless and fictional measure of time.

But then my parents—Mighty Jim Wilkes and his affable and rather vacant wife, Sharon—started fighting like two ravening pit bulls, bandying around the word “divorce,” and arguing about whether Natalie’s not-so-dumb jock brother was even Jim’s.

I knew without a doubt that big, dumb Jim was the only man Sharon Wilkes had ever been with.  Believe me, when we had “The Talk,” I ended up answering more of her questions than getting my own answered.

Frequenting some free internet porn sites, and some rather educational safe sex web-pages, I’d garnered a nice bit of knowledge.

And whether they got along or not, or even agreed about it, Jim and Marcus had the same build, the same dimpled chin, and disgusting habit of wiping their noses with the backs of their hands.

Marcus looked more like their mother, who despite her rather anglicized name, was half Columbian.  So the fact that my brother was tan, pretty in a shiny, useless kind of way, and shorter than their father, wasn’t a surprise to me.

What my father was really railing against was that his baby boy wasn’t hiding the fact that he was gay well enough to save their father face.  Actually, Marcus had shown up home from school on the back of another guy’s Harley.  And they’d actually kissed in front of the house.

Way to kick the hornet’s nest, dumbass!

So with some listening, and some rather uncomfortable digesting of past learned information, I’d come to the conclusion there was no such thing as love—undying forever kind, or even in the heat of the moment.  There was just lust and hate, and a millions degrees in between.  Thus I would doubtlessly lose my virginity to a guy I’d probably never see again.

So I started planning for it in earnest.  I wasn’t much for procrastination.

First, I technically took my own virginity.  I ordered a latex dildo molded from the neither regions of an adult porn star I’d found by back tracking through some of my brother’s favorite sites.

No one ever erases their browser memory—stupid... 

The Dean Phoenix Super-cock arrived at my door in a plain brown paper wrapped package, and since I was the only member of the family who regularly got home before four in the afternoon every day, I liberated it from the mailbox and took it to my room completely un-noticed.

It came with cleaning instructions, and a tube of Astro-glide, which was rather thoughtful of the dildo and porn producing folks at Falcon Video.

I waited until after dinner that night, showered, locked my bedroom door, and turned on my favorite Black Keys album.  Not blaring, just load enough to cover any painful utterances I might make during.

I pulled the Dean Phoenix Super-cock from its plastic boxing, and sat there on my bed staring at it in my hand.  It was only eight and a half inches—by far not the largest I could have ordered, but bigger than the national average for male genitalia (a meager six inches) and seemed to weigh enough to make me have to hold it with both hands.  After I got used to the feel of it in my hand, I slathered it with lube from its mushroom head to its base—right over its large, latex balls.

I then proceeded to masturbate, which I’d done regularly for the last two weeks while I awaited the Dean Phoenix Super-cock’s arrival.  After a bit of this—to get my feminine juices going (a tip from a better sex sight I poured over diligently)—I started to insert the dildo into my vagina.  After a few inches I felt a sharp, horrific pain, and then felt a warm oozing down there. 

I’d popped my cherry. 

I grinned madly through my pain.  I’d done it.  I’d taken my own virginity.

I pushed in and out a few times, to make sure I’d broke my hymen completely, and then cleaned up.  I’d used an old towel as a drop cloth.  One Mom wouldn’t notice missing.  So after I cleaned up myself and…Dean…disposing of the blood stained towel was a snap.

Since that night I’d used the dildo three more times, each time bringing myself closer and closer to climax.  But I just couldn’t go all the way over the orgasm cliff.  Somewhere deep inside, I still wanted my first time to be with the guy I liked most in the whole world.

An oddly romantic notion for me.  And though reasonably I had no firsts left—I’d even tried out fellatio on Dean—I apparently wanted my first orgasm to be a co-ed event.

So I moved onto the second stage of my plan: finding a male in my own age demographic that also appealed to my libido.

For the first time ever I scoped out the boys of Hill Crest High School.  And to my chagrin, I found them quite lacking: in brains, in charm, in manners, and most of all in good personal hygiene. 

But one day as I passed by Mr. Cantalides Algebra two class room, I overheard Mr. C gnashing his too big teeth at one of the varsity basketball players.

EG Banks was Six feet, three inches tall, built broad of shoulders and thin of hips, and had a disarming charm to his every action.  The fact that he had a face like an angel, and the prettiest brown eyes, just made him all the more attractive.  He also had the darkest flesh I’d ever seen in person, but there was a warmth that seemed to shine through that darkness, like amber, like caramel mixed with dark chocolate.

He was simply just yummy to behold.

He was also, by Mr. C’s tirade, close to failing that course…which was rather perplexing.  EG was tenth in his class, and a yearly recipient of the honor society designation. 

Intrigued by EG’s apparent mathematical problems, I sought him out at lunch, explained that I could help him raise his near failing grade to at least a B-…maybe higher.

“What do you want in return?” had been his rather sage reply.  I decided there and then I liked him.  He would do nicely as my first sexual partner.

“Nothing monetary, I assure you.  I’d just like for you to have sex with me.”  He choked on the mouthful of Mountain Dew he had just swigged.  “I’ll pay for the motel room, provide the contraception, and I’ll even order some pizza to be delivered afterward.”

“Shiiit…” EG hissed.  And then, after mauling my proposition around in his head for well over a minute, and then surreptitiously giving me a thorough once over, he nodded his head and said, “Deal.”

So I’m a virgin until Saturday night, at approximately eight in the evening.  After that I will be a worldly woman, and I will move on undaunted by what life has in store for me.

Everything was planned to perfection, down to the last detail…

And then I started having this…fantasy.

It still involved EG, and the hotel room…but that’s where my plan for first fornication diverged from my fantasy.  I wanted, more than anything, and for no apparent reason, to tie or chain EG from the ceiling (I wondered if hotel rooms were equipped with hooks dangling from their ceilings).  I wanted his arms up over his head enough to keep him on the balls of his feet. 

Then there was another Falcon Video creation added to the mix.  It was billed The Equalizer, and was a double headed dildo.  It was over twelve inches long, and was actually a solid piece of shiny maroon molded rosin. 

That and a ping pong paddle I’d picked up at a yard sale a couple years back.  It was strong and about ten years old, but it had soft felt covering both sides of the paddle.

I sighed as I envisioned my plans for EG in my head.  Damn, it was going to be the hottest first orgasm any girl had ever had.

In five days and counting, I’d be rid of all my pesky biological imperatives, and silly shyness.  And I couldn’t wait.

 

Chapter Seven

Lila

 

 

I barely even remember letting the handyman in.  What was his name?  Gus?  Gabe?

All I could see in my mind’s eye was midnight blue water, the waxing moon making the ripples in its surface glitter.  But the ripples were being caused by my naked husband…and another man.

I’d heard the quiet splashes of someone in the pool—that’s what had woken me.  For the fifteen years we’d lived here I’d been paranoid about the pool—especially when Emily was alive.  I’d had nightmares that I wake to find a dead child in the pool, floating around like drift wood in the ocean.

I’d known for years that teenagers had snuck into the pool, occasionally.  But they could take care of themselves.  But just in case, I went to Emily’s window and looked out. 

And that was when I saw my handsome husband stark naked, kneeling by the pool, his hand in the water, testing it.  I stood there for a moment, appreciating the sight of him as he stood up.  I’d always loved looking at him naked.  There was just something so masculine about just the way he stood.

But then the other naked man had moved out of the shadows, dropping something on the ground before he got to my husband.  Tom took the younger, smaller man into his arms and kissed him—the kiss was chaste and probably only lasted a moment, but to me, it had lasted an eternity.

One of Tom’s hands was on the small of the other man’s back.  The other was grasping an orb of the younger man’s ass.

My mind went blank as I watched them both climb carefully into the water.  I watched as they swam, as they touched and fell on each other, and kissed with a dark, desperate passion I hadn’t even known my husband possessed.

I heard the young man laugh, and then he go up out of the pool and sauntered toward what he had dropped by the side of the pool.  That’ s when I recognized him.  He’d grown since I’d last seen him: taller, broader, more manly.

But it was still The Wilkes Boy.  And he was the same age Emily would have been.

Sitting in the kitchen now, a cold cup of coffee untouched by my side, I couldn’t aver as to what bothered me worst.  That my husband was cheating on me.  That he was cheating on me with another man.  Or that he was molesting a teenager.

Well, the Wilkes Boy was nineteen, so technically Tom wasn’t a pederast.  But who knew how long it had been going on?  My breath hissed out through my teeth as I wondered how oblivious…no, how fucking stupid I had been, not to have seen what was going on.  And in my own house!

My mind suddenly clicked onto the fact that Tom’s gun was locked away in the small gun safe under his bedside table.  “For protection” he’d said when he’d insisted on having one in the house, against my vehement objections.

Tom’s gun…

I heard the air conditioning turn on and had to think about it for a few awkward beats—why the broken air conditioning was working again.  And then I heard footsteps on the cellar steps.

Oh, the handyman.  Gus or Gabe…Carl?

He came through the door to the basement and gave me a smile.  It wasn’t politician bright or dazzling, but I could well imagine that he didn’t sleep alone often.  But then I took the rest of him in.  His clothes were stained with oil and paint, his hair was unkempt and curly—some light streaks of gray shot through it.  And he had a couple days worth of stubble on his beguilingly handsome face.

But his melted chocolate brown eyes were warm and friendly, and had a touch of crow’s feet. On a woman crow’s feet were a shameful mark of advanced age, but on a man, it was still just damn sexy.

He was as tall, if not taller than Tom, and he didn’t look gym toned like my husband—Tom worked out like a demon…and now I knew why… 

No, this man was strong and broad, and his muscles were earned by serious work.

Suddenly I realized he was standing right next to me…and he was looking at me expectantly. 

Crap, he’d been talking while I’d been ogling him…what the hell had he been saying?

My sudden embarrassment pushed aside my overwhelming husband troubles.  It was bad enough I’d ignored him while he was speaking to me, but I’d been sizing him up like a pervert at a strip club.

“I’m sorry, Mister…?”  I couldn’t bring myself to call him by a wrong name too.

“Thurogood, ma’am.  Jake Thurogood.”  He smiled again and averted his eyes for a moment, then said, “Just call me Jake.  That’s what everyone calls me.  Call me Mr. Thrurogood and I start looking for my old man.”

I smiled.  He was a charmer.  Though definitely blue collar.
