Odalisque
Part I
One
“HI, MOM. WE JUST GOT HOME.— It was great!— We sold tons. And Tony and Lissa won!”
There was a long pause as Melody listened. Lexi apparently had a lot to say. Lissa and Kate moved our luggage to the bedroom, but I thought it was best that someone stay beside Melody in case she needed a little moral support.
“Do you need me to come home? I could withdraw from classes, but this is the last week I can do it. I’m sure they’d understand.— You’re sure?”
I was worried about what we’d do if Melody left to help her mother take care of her father. Of course, we’d support her. At least there were four of us now and I wouldn’t be left alone if Lissa went to help her. How can you go from such a high in the morning to such a crash in the afternoon?
“He told you that?— Well, what is your opinion?— I don’t know yet. We’re going to talk to a lawyer.— I love you, too, Mom. Keep me up-to-date, okay? I don’t want to… you know… not be there.— ’Bye.” The call was over.
Melody looked up at me. She hadn’t even sat down for the call, but had been pacing around the living room. She threw her phone on the sofa and pushed me over to my chair. As soon as I was settled, she crawled into my lap, buried her face in my neck and began to cry. It was quiet. Sometimes I think the angry, heartrending sobs of a broken heart are easier to deal with than the shaking child in my lap whose eyes would simply not stop weeping. I just held her and hugged her and let her cry, my own tears dampening her hair.
I’ve never had anyone close to me die—never prepared for it to happen. I wondered if maybe Harold’s original idea of not telling anyone was better. Would we be all out of tears when the time finally came to say goodbye?
The call kind of put a damper on things. We cuddled. We ate some dinner. We talked about everything that had occurred during the week, including Kate’s little escapade with the Tiger’s paw.
“I hope it was okay,” Kate said looking at us with a worried expression on her face. “We were both so… and Lissa looked so hot on the court… and that other woman kissed you all; it was on camera.”
“It’s okay,” we all said in one way or another. “We all love Wendy, too. We might not be ready to have sex with her, but as long as you weren’t exercising any undue influence on her, we’re okay.”
“I wouldn’t do that,” Kate said. “But it was just—”
“Kate, don’t say it,” I spoke. I might have said it more sharply than I meant to, but I couldn’t let her go on with that thought. “It’s never just sex. No matter what we intend, it’s always more.”
“I wasn’t going to say that!” Kate objected. “It was just that we’re friends. I care for her and she cares for me. We lived together for most of August. I could see that she was hurting then, but I couldn’t touch her. For lots of reasons. But it seemed so right to share that intimacy with each other. Then, when we were more relaxed, I took her home.”
“She didn’t spend the night?” Lissa asked.
“No. She needed to be back for class on Monday morning,” Kate answered.
“She didn’t drive over?” Melody asked.
“Um… you guys, you have to respect what Wendy wants and not jump up to rescue her. She needs to do this on her own. She sold her car to pay for tuition.”
“Oh no! She loved that little car,” Melody squeaked.
“She wants to pull her life together and she has a plan to do it,” Kate said.
“You saw where she lives then? Is she safe?”
“Um… she’ll have to tell you about where she lives. She made me promise not to say anything to you. But she’s confident that it’s the right move for her.”
We all tumbled into bed and there was a lot of rolling over each other as we settled in for good night kisses and cuddles. Before anyone could get too frisky, though, we were drifting off to sleep one by one.
I awoke in a familiar position. I opened my eyes and discovered we were all four spooned together. Kate was cuddled behind me. I was behind Lissa, and Lissa was behind Melody. It was the center contact that I was noticing. I shifted forward slightly and the tip of my cock touched Lissa’s warm opening. She turned her head to kiss me.
“Tony, honey,” she whispered. “I’m a little sore from yesterday. We were kind of rough in the bathroom during the turbulence.”
“I’m sorry, sweetie,” I said, kissing her again. “This isn’t a morning requirement, you know.”
“Usually it’s me doing the demanding,” she continued to whisper.
“Did you do it on the plane?” Kate whispered in my ear.
“Yes,” I answered. “It isn’t the most comfortable place in the world.”
“I’m not sore,” she said. Lissa raised her left leg releasing my cock from her grip.
“Go ahead, darling,” she whispered. “I’m going to see if I can get my Little One to come before she wakes up.”
“Too late,” Melody moaned. “But I’ll pretend to be asleep.”
I rolled toward Kate and kissed her luxuriously.
“Were you suggesting something, Kitten?”
“Me? Only that I didn’t make love to any of my lovers yesterday and I’m feeling a little left out,” she giggled and then kissed me again.
Waking up early isn’t difficult for me, but it’s always hard. I took my time and reacquainted myself with Kate and every inch of her beautiful body. I was kissing my way back up her legs when she reached for me and drew me up to her face.
“I love when you do that,” she said dreamily, “but I want to look in your eyes and kiss your lips.” She had one hand on my cock, rubbing it up and down her slit to get it good and wet. When she positioned me at her opening and held me there, I slowly moved forward.
“Oh,” she sighed. “Still so full. I love this feeling.”
She let me sink fully into her and clamped her legs around me to keep me from moving. I kissed her lips. We stayed that way for an eternity—me buried inside her with just our lips touching. I opened my eyes and met her hazel depths as she stared at me. She smiled and my entire world shrank to the connection between us. Gradually she loosened her grip on my hips and let me slip back and then in again slowly. She guided me to the speed she wanted. Each time I sank to full depth, she captured my lips and held me there, caressing me with her tongue.
We moved in orbit around each other. Connected. She pulled my lips back to her mouth and let my tongue between her teeth where we played together.
My orgasm surprised me. It seemed to surprise Kate as well. We both gasped through our kiss. We pulled away from each other far enough to let our eyes focus and felt another powerful surge through both our bodies. Just as we both cried out a wordless syllable, we heard the muffled gasp of our forgotten partners next to us. Her smile was reflected on my face as we turned to see Melody and Lissa clenched together with their eyes fixed on the two of us.
After the initial shock, I saw a tear trickle from Melody’s eye. I nearly panicked, but before I could say anything, Melody spoke.
“That was so beautiful,” she whispered. Then she turned her face back to Lissa and they were once again lost in a kiss. It seemed like a reasonable action, so I returned to Kate’s luscious lips.
“Oh, fuck,” I moaned. “I only have forty minutes to make it to class.” I reluctantly rolled off of Kate and she rolled out of bed with me.
“You get your shower,” she said softly. “I’ll make coffee and get you something to eat.” Then she glanced at Melody and Lissa looking up at us. “You stay there,” she said. “I’ll bring yours after I get our boy off to school.”
I showered quickly and true to her word, Kate had coffee and peanut butter toast ready for me as soon as I reached the kitchen. She walked me to the garage and just before I got into the car she gave me another searing kiss.
“Thank you,” she whispered. “I love you.”
“I love you, Kate,” I said as I kissed every part of her face I could reach and let my hands caress her bare breasts again.
“Um… Maybe you should get back inside before I open the garage door,” I said. “I will always remember you just like you are right now,” I smiled. “Go take care of our lovers, darling.” Kate scampered back into the house and I raised the garage door and left for class.
