Diva
Twenty-One
I THOUGHT ABOUT TALKING the girls into losing their jeans, but it was cute the way they were wading in the creek with their pants legs rolled up. They continued to cluster around the rock where Beth sat and I figured that would be as good a setting as any. I got my sketchbook set and then plugged my mp3 player into a tiny speaker I’d seen advertised on late night TV a couple of weeks ago. It filled the clearing with an eerie note of flute music.
“Shakuhachi!” Beth shouted.
“Beautiful. A flute?” Melody asked.
“Japanese Bamboo Flute,” I answered. “There’s a few cuts of new age flute music, too. I wanted something we could all hear and that wouldn’t sound out of place here.”
“I expected you to put on your headset,” Lissa said. “Are you going to be able to work without closing everything out?”
“It’s something I discovered when I drew Allie,” I said as I ripped through a couple of warmup sketches. “She wanted to hear the music, too, and it affected the way she posed.”
“I’ll say,” Beth joined in. “I was absolutely knocked out by that painting. I started crying as soon as I saw it.”
“Well, remember that I did the painting in isolation, and yes, I was plugged in when I did it. I only did the sketches when we were together. Like today. It’s hard to do a good painting in the wild. Someday I’ll get the hang of plein air painting.”
“How do you want us to pose?”
“Beth, stay on the rock, but can you tuck your left leg up under you? The Graces are happy characters—goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, creativity, and um…” I paused. All three girls looked at me questioningly.
“And…?”
“Um… and fertility, I guess.” I don’t know why that made me embarrassed. But it was so much more intimate-sounding than the other characteristics.
“No big bellies today, okay?” Beth asked. “It took me all year to lose mine.”
“Right. Okay, here’s who you are. Lissa, you’re Aglaea which means ‘Splendor.’ Beth, you get to be Thalia. That means ‘Good Cheer.’ And Melody, my bubbly darling, you get to be Euphrosyne, goddess of mirth.”
“Wooo!” Melody laughed. She scooped up a bit of water from the creek and flicked it at the other two girls. They jumped and if I hadn’t calmed them down, there’d have been a water fight in about two seconds. Fine, but maybe later.
“Wait!” I commanded. “Melody, that’s the pose I want. With you leaning in to flick water at the others. But you don’t need to do it again until just before I finish. Lissa, turn to look at me a little. Lips apart, a little surprised. Nice. Beth, you’re the surprise. Lift your chin. Lean in to Lissa to kiss her cheek. Nice. Nice. Can you hold it?” I quickly snapped a couple of reference photos on my camera.
“I don’t mind this,” Beth said. I watched as she let her lips glide across Lissa’s cheek. Sexy as hell.
“No wonder I’m splashing you two,” Melody pouted. “When do I get a kiss?”
“Oh, you beautiful goddess,” Beth said. “Anytime you want.” She turned quickly out of her pose and put a kiss on the tip of Melody’s nose, then snapped back into position.
Hey! Was my best friend putting the make on my girlfriends? Hmm. Do I mind?
It took me all of three seconds to process that information and decide that I didn’t mind at all. The three girls chattered about everything from the weather to school to clothing as I sketched and the music filled the woods around us.
One of the characteristics of the classic paintings of the three graces by Rubens and Raphael is that one of them always has her back to the artist. Frankly, my three were all too beautiful to hide. Lissa’s unbelievable body has always captivated me, but I could get lost just looking at her face. The way Beth had to stretch up just a little to kiss Lissa tightened and lifted her chest. She developed that chest when she was chubby. Now that the rest of her body was slim, her breasts sagged down a bit when they weren’t being supported. But stretching did amazing things and her nipples were surprisingly small and erect, perched on top of the mounds.
I asked Melody to shift in just a little closer, which pushed her right breast into Beth’s left. Every once in a while, I could see one or the other of the two girls shift just enough to let their breasts rub together and cause their nipples to stand out even more.
“My feet are getting cold,” Lissa said after a while. They’d been standing in the water for about forty-five minutes and I had a pretty good sketch.
“Okay. Melody, now.” On command, she dipped her fingers into the water and splashed the other two. I took a quick mental photo of the water and ducked my head to the drawing as the girls’ pose broke down into laughter. They each got a good splash at each other before they waded out of the creek.
We’d brought a couple of blankets and spread them out on the ground. The girls dried their feet and flopped out as I put away the sketching materials. When I looked back at them, Lissa was truly kissing Beth as Beth’s back arched up pushing a nipple into Melody’s mouth. I know how much Melody loves breasts. Her favorite position while we are making love together usually includes having one of Lissa’s nipples in her mouth. It was quickly apparent that Beth liked it, too.
“You guys!” Beth said as she broke from the kiss and started to sit up. “I didn’t come out here to get all involved with Tony’s girlfriends.”
“We know. You want Tony,” Melody said. “But you’re so luscious. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”
“That’s not it,” Beth moaned. “I love it. I mean I really love it. Can we just cuddle a little bit? I need to tell you all something.”
I stretched out behind Lissa and reached my hand across to Melody so that we were all four connected together.
“Dumpling, you can tell us whatever you want. Now that Mel and Liss are here with me, I’m not quite as uptight as I was when we were alone. I don’t know if I can give you what you really want, but we’ll all be here for you.”
“That’s just it, Tony. You were always there for me. That’s why I thought I could take advantage of you at the party. I was on a mission.”
“That’s understandable,” Lissa said. “I remember when I went after Jack. He’d protected me and guided me for five years as and I was determined that he was going to be more than my guardian. I was on a mission and he didn’t stand a chance.” We all laughed.
“Tony and I were never romantically involved,” Beth said. “I’m not sure either of us even considered the boy and girl part of our relationship. We were always just friends.”
“More than just friends,” I responded. “We’ve always been best friends.”
“Right. Brilliant social outcasts and best friends. But I couldn’t wait to get away from here. I was going to reinvent myself. Lose weight. Get a boyfriend. Show all those guys back here what they missed.”
“You certainly did that!” I said. “Remember the volleyball game? None of the guys could play worth a damn because they were all looking at you.”
“More than anything else, all I wanted to do was snub them,” Beth explained. “All but you. I thought… I thought I could use you. I’m sorry.”
“Hey, any guy but Tony would have jumped at the chance to jump you,” Melody said. “You weren’t counting on the fact that we already had our greedy little talons into him.”
“That’s just it. And I don’t think your talons are greedy at all,” Beth continued. “I came home thinking I could just kiss Tony and he’d fall back with a hard-on and take my cherry, then I could go back to my girlfriend.”
“What?? Your what?” I was knocked out. Beth had a girlfriend? She’d never said anything about that.
“It was no accident that I chose to go to an all-girls college. I already knew who I fantasized about in high school and it wasn’t a football player. It really didn’t take me long after I got to college to hook up with Barbara. It started with studying together and then long talks instead of studying and then little touches and… well, you get the idea. We were a couple by Halloween.”
“You never said anything in all your text messages about a girlfriend,” I said. “We must have had a hundred messages a week during September and October.”
“But it was getting less and less. Neither of us came home for Thanksgiving and I went straight to Hawaii for my Christmas break. I didn’t want anyone here see me before my freshman transformation was complete. Barbara and I worked out and dieted together. I’d started losing weight already during the summer and she kept me on track. But there was always an obstacle between us.”
“Let me guess,” Lissa said. “I saw these kinds of relationships develop among the models when I was on the road. You thought you were with each other just because you couldn’t trust or get a man.”
“That’s kind of it,” Beth admitted. “Specifically, Barbara thought I was only with her because I thought no man would have me. And when I turned out to have a good body and tits that every guy wants to play with, she was afraid that I’d leave her as soon as a guy paid attention to me. So she broke up with me when the term ended.”
“Oh, Dumpling! That’s terrible,” I said. I was close enough that I could stroke her bare back with my right hand and she didn’t seem to mind a bit.
“I thought that if I came home and got good old trusty friend Tony to fuck me, then I could go back to school in the fall and tell her that I’d had a boy and now I’m sure I want her. I’m sorry, Tony. I wasn’t considering your feelings at all. I wasn’t thinking that you might no longer be a virgin. And I wasn’t thinking that you might be hurt by me using you like that. I figured, hey, he’s never had a girl. We’ll fuck and I’ll leave, or at worst, we’ll have a summer fling and then go our separate ways again. I’m sorry.”
There was a shifting of positions. I’ve never been able to figure out exactly how we do this, even when it’s just the three of us. We just slide over each other and suddenly a different person is in the middle. Since none of us had put our shirts back on, the sliding was particularly delicious. Anyway, when it ended up, Melody and I had Beth sandwiched between us, just holding her and Lissa was draped mostly over Melody with her hand wrapped around Beth’s bare waist.
I kissed my old friend on the cheek and she turned to capture my lips in a deep and soulful kiss.
“It’s still okay,” Melody said. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You’ve been friends with Tony for years and Lissa and I are just catching up. We’ll all do anything that friends can do for a friend.”
Beth turned those lovely lips on Melody and I could see their hearts accelerating. I swear I was just reaching to feel their heartbeats when I found my hand cupping Beth’s breast. She moaned as she turned back to me and glanced down at my hand.
“Tony...”
“If you still want to make love, we can,” I said. “But you don’t have to. And you don’t have to worry about what any of us will think.”
“And if you want to make love out here in this beautiful setting, but just want us girls, that’s all right, too. Right, Tony?” Lissa said. I nodded.
“Wait. Have sex with the two of you and not with Tony?” Beth asked. “How would that work? I mean, Tony you’d have to…”
“Don’t worry,” Melody giggled. “Someone here would take care of Tony.”
There was more talk. More cuddling. More kissing. More impossible flowing from one position to another. Someplace in the action, we lost the rest of our clothes. Beth was overwhelmed with our loving. She found a blonde head and a redhead each between her legs bringing her to two delicious orgasms. She returned the favors in kind and, while she ate Melody, my fingers brought her to another climax. As I lay on my back with Lissa gliding on my cock, Melody held Beth and Beth simply held my balls, feeling them pulse as I came inside my lover.
We rushed back into the creek to wash the sweat off and the girls got into a splashing fest. I scrambled out of the water and took half a dozen quick photos of the three having fun. I began to rework my drawing in my head. Why did everything have to be so classical? The three graces were about fun.
We were dry and pulling our clothes together when Beth came up to me and laid another hot kiss on my lips and tongue. As she did, she stroked my cock and felt it grow in her hand. When I was fully erect—which didn’t take long—she gave it a squeeze and broke our kiss.
“I’m not saying never,” Beth said as she looked into my eyes. “I’m just not ready now. Thank you for being the best friend on earth.”
We hugged each other tightly and soon Melody and Lissa had us sandwiched between them in a group hug. My erection was delightfully pressed against Beth’s stomach. We all pulled back to get dressed and Beth took one last look at my cock before I tucked it into my shorts.
“‘And thy lyre shall never have a slacked string,’” she quoted. “You know, I never realized what that line meant.” We all laughed and headed back down the rows of corn to civilization.
It was time to go home.
