Quaranteam Ch. 48

"You're no cheap trick, Sheridan," he chuckled back.

"No, I'm not. I'm your girl, your acrobat, your gymnast, your flexible fuckslut who's got her needy, drippy little pussy wrapped around your cock, trying to milk a load out, just for me," she whispered into his ear. "I'm not all brain fried on precum imprinting problems, so what more do I have to tell you to get you to nut up inside of me, dude? It's my turn, it's my fucking turn to be yours, so do it, make me yours, make me feel what it's like to cum so hard I can't stand up straight afterwards. C'mon, Andy, please? Please can I have it? I've been a good girl for you. I want it. I need it. Please fill me up. Please nut in that hole. Drench my fucking cunt already. Please pour that cum into me. Do it. Cum for me. Cum with me because fuckhereIgoagain!"

This time when she started to crescendo, Andy was riding the wave along with her, his toes curling against the fuzzy bathmat as he started to fire a thick load of ropy cum strands inside of her, which only seemed to amplify the force of her orgasm, the two layering on top of each other, one natural and one chemically enhanced, as her fingertips dug into the flesh of his back hard. Somewhere in the middle of it, they started kissing again, just before the crashing waves started to ease off.

He could feel three hands caressing him as Fiona's other hand lifted up from Sheridan's clit, smearing them along Andy's face as all three of them laughed. "We're going to have to shower anyway," Fiona teased, "so why not get a little messy, I figured."

"Let's shower," Sheridan agreed. "I have something I want to talk to you about while we do."

Andy helped slide her off his cock and back down onto her feet as the three of them walked into the shower and closed the door behind them. "Sure, what's on your mind?"

"Are... are we good, Andy?" Sheridan said, wrapping her arms around his waist, holding him close for a moment. "We haven't really talked about it, but I was a little hurt that you were willing to put me up as collateral for that poker game. I know, you were trying to win so you could keep Asha and her mom safe, but you... you kinda didn't even really talk to me before doing it, and that felt pretty shitty."

Andy sighed, nodding. "I know. I fucked up. I'm sorry, Sher. I should've talked to you, but Niko was freaking out that Asha and her mom were going to get stuck with Covington, and I didn't want that to happen. I think... I think that maybe I tried to keep distance from you just in case I failed, but that's definitely a shitty thing for me to have done. I really should've fucking known better and I'm sorry that I didn't do right by you." He puffed up his cheeks then blew the air out. "Having Erin with you didn't help one bit either, but I shouldn't have let that affect my ability to talk to you." He squeezed her tightly, trying not to cry. He hated failing people, and even though hindsight was always 20/20, he felt like he could've managed the situation a lot better at the time. "And then the fuck up with Nicolette giving you that tiny bit of precum, which sent your imprinting process haywire. I felt like I just kept fucking up with you over and over again, and maybe I've been kind of keeping you at arm's length, because I'd have to confront all the things I did wrong. I'm very sorry about all of it. I hate letting people down."

"Hey hey hey," Sheridan said, stepping in so that she was directly in his line of sight even though he was looking down at the tile. "I forgive you, Andy. I just want us to both move past it, and I wanted to let you know that it hurt that you didn't talk to me before putting me at risk, but also that I get it, and you were in an impossible situation. I mean, you could've also sent me back after you'd won, which would've sucked, but I would've understood. Nobody likes being reminded of the times they've failed. I just don't want you to only see that when you look at me, to only see the moment when you had too many people pulling on you all at once, and since you had to let somebody down, you let it be the one person you didn't really know yet. I think I'm pretty fucking lucky, being here with you and all these other amazing women, and I don't want this to get in our way. I want to be here. I want to be with you. What's past is past. I forgive you, okay? I totally do. Just don't do it again." She leaned up and kissed him tenderly, wiping either shower water or a tear from his cheek.

"What made you want to get paired up with Andy, Sher?" Fiona asked, as she started to wash her hair. "I'm sure you had a lot of options."

"About ten different dudes to choose from, I think," she said, "but I got to read a little about what each of the families were like, because all of the guys already had a few partners at that point. And, not gonna lie, Ash looked hella cute. But every time a new girl was added to a house at that point, the existing girls were given a chance to rate their partner. We couldn't see how each woman rated each man, but we did get an average, and most of them got scores somewhere between eight and nine, but Andy had a perfect ten, and at that point, he already had seven people he was paired up with, four partners and the three staff members. And with all of those people, not a single one of them gave him less than a ten, otherwise the average would've been something else. That told me he was pretty damn remarkable, on top of being cute. And since all of his existing partner partners were listed as bisexual, I figured I'd get the ability to play with load of beautiful women on top of an amazing man. I've always preferred having all my options on the table."

"What... what did it say about me?" Andy said, his curiosity unable to be quelled.

"You were nearly 40, originally from Ohio but had lived out here for over ten years. I could identify with that, since I moved out here from Kansas a while back myself," she said. "I figured that would give us a common frame of reference, although Kansas and Ohio are kinda different. Still, neither of us was a born Californian, and I figured we could bond over that. It mentioned you were a writer, but I'd never heard of you. Still, the Oracle system had us at a 96% match, so I figured that was more than enough, since it seemed to be doing a pretty good job of pairing people up."

"I'm still amazed that so many people put their faith in a computer for something this big."

"Well, each person writes a testimonial after they've been with you a month that also goes into the file, so there were little paragraphs anonymously attributed to the women in the house, but after I'd been here a few days, I could kinda tell who wrote which," Sheridan said. "And everyone was so glowing and affectionate about you, I felt like I'd be in good hands."

"Huh," Fiona said. "I never got to see any of that stuff. I suppose since he requested me personally and I simply agreed, they skipped the whole process for me. I might've been keen to see what all the others had to say about you, hon."

"Mostly, everyone described him as kind and caring, maybe to his own detriment. I didn't see that at first, but after I'd been here like a week, I figured out what they meant," Sheridan said, washing her hair next to Fiona. "When it came time for Andy to add members to the house, he let us all recommend our friends, simply because he figured it was the best way he could help more. He could've just gotten women that he wanted, but he didn't. Of course, with so many girls already in the house, there was no way he could handle all the requests either, and so he had to make some hard decisions."

"At least one of which was made for me," he said.

"Oh yeah?"

"Mmmm. Now, I'm not going to say who, because I don't want anyone's feelings hurt, but one of the women in the house now was an alternate," Andy said. "Because one of the people I requested, Hannah's cheerleading coach, turned me down, so we went with an alternate. But I don't have any regrets, and I don't want anyone feeling like they're second class, so I'm not going-"

"It's Jade, Andy," Fiona said with a chuckle. "She already figured it out, and she's not mad. And she told everybody else."

Andy frowned a little bit. "How the hell did she figure that out?"

"I think one of the girls let it slip accidentally, but Jade was completely understanding," Fiona said, wringing out her hair a bit. "She's nervous about her first time too, you know. It wasn't supposed to be a big thing, waiting until she felt like she had the right partner to lose her virginity with, but time kept rolling on and on and it started feeling more and more like a weight around her neck. Honestly, you'll be doing her a favor by relieving her of it."

"She's right, dude," Sheridan agreed, both of them making way for Andy to slip in between them, directly under the shower head, soaping up his shaven head. "It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be you and that'll be enough."

"Have you ever been anyone's first, Andy?" Fiona asked. "You weren't mine, but I don't know that I ever thought to ask."

"Well, you were mine, Fi, but no, I've never been anyone's first."

"Ohmygod, really?" Fiona gasped, turning to look at him. "I mean, I always thought I was your second or third, but I was genuinely your first?"

He pointed at her with a frown. "And that right there is why I never told you. I didn't want you to judge me or pity me."

Fiona's face immediately melted before she grabbed Andy and kissed him tenderly, horrified that she might have hurt him when he'd just trusted her with such an intimate piece of information. "I didn't... I didn't mean it like that, Andy, I promise you I didn't. I... I just... I figured you would've told me, but you're right, I probably wouldn't have handled it as well back then as I can now. For your first time, you were pretty damn good, mister, so you really didn't need to keep it secret. What about that girl you were with just before me? What was her name? Melanie? Megan?"

"Marie," Andy corrected. "We came close, but when I told her I'd never done it before, it suddenly became a way big deal, and that just made me incredibly nervous about it, and each time we were both kind of in the mood, I couldn't get out of my head, and I couldn't stay hard. I won't say that's the reason we broke up, but it was certainly a contributing factor. Just before we both went home for Thanksgiving, I called it off, and she didn't really fight me about it. A month and change later you asked me out, I said yes, and that was that. God, I haven't thought about Marie in decades. It all felt so important back then, but given enough time, I guess the importance of just about everything eventually becomes absolute zero."

"Give it a few days, but certainly in the next week or two, just help Jade get past it and get into the spirit of everything, dude," Sheridan said. "Once the elephant's out of the room, it'll be much easier for the two of you to sit down and get to know each other better. Speaking of elephants getting out of the room, how was the lady you were hooking up with Nate dawg? Do people call him that?"

"I would bet nobody's ever called him that," Fiona said with a grin.

"Then I'mma hella call him that when I see him," Sheridan laughed. "She get connected okay?"

"Yeah," Andy said, finally stepping out of the shower, the girls still taking a few more minutes. "She was edgy but it wasn't breaking her spirit. And the reassignment process works, although man, is is it a scary couple of minutes, once the reassignment takes over, before she was reimprinted."

"How so?" Sheridan asked, stepping out of the shower next, toweling off before immediately grabbing one of the hair dryers.

Andy had to raise his voice a bit to be heard, but at this point in his life, with all the long-haired partners he now had, he was getting used to that. "It's like the woman's suddenly gone feral, and she was thrashing hard against all four of us who were restraining her. I'm a little scared to imagine what it would've been like if we hadn't been there to keep her from getting out of hand."

"She probably would've just sexually mauled you like Piper did when you met her, love," Fiona said as she turned off the shower, reaching for her towel. With the amount of clothes and towels they went through, Andy was a little amazed that they didn't have a washing machine running all the time. In one of the nicest touches, however, was that Nicolette had embroidered their names on towels, so everyone got their own clearly marked towel.

Nicolette also insisted the towels get washed at least once every two weeks, but because washing that many towels all at once would be difficult, they were on alternating schedules. People whose name began with A-L were on one week, and those with M-Z were on the next.

When Nicolette had dictated the system to them, Sarah, ever the smartass, pointed out that Andy didn't have any partners whose name began with a Z, and Nicolette, without missing a beat, said that sooner or later she expected him to rescue a Zelda from a different castle, and that she wanted to be prepared for it.

Andy had considered pointing out that it was Princess Peach who was always in a different castle, but the look on Nicolette's face had made him reconsider.

"That's the thing, Fi," Andy said, done drying off long before either of the two women would be, as Fiona started to blow dry her hair as well. "You remember that it was both Nathaniel and me there. What if she'd gone for me instead of him? It's one of the things I'm going to have to make very clear when I talk to Phil about it later today. Women just prior to reimprinting have zero impulse control or ability to discern between one man and another."

"Speaking of whom, is he finally bringing the whole family over today?" Fi said, a sly smile on her lips. "Every time we've seen him lately, it's just been him and Linda. I heard back at the Halloween party, he was here with several women."

"The whole damn gang today," Andy said. "I told him to bring his staff over as well, but who knows if he'll listen to me on that one. I'm not even sure how many women that is now, but I'm betting it's over a baker's dozen."

"Who else is coming?" Sheridan asked.

"Xander and his new family, and I want everyone to be very welcoming to them. I know a lot of them are very new to California, and so it'll help if we give them friends out here, beyond the existing friendships that Xander and I, and Piper and Brooke, have. Eric'll also be here with his clan. And most of the rest of my old poker group will be here too. That means Ari and his family, Jenna and her man and their new partners, and Mel and all of his girls. Phil the Lesser felt the disruption of them going through quarantine once each way was going to be too much, though, so they're still out."

"You know what's funny, Andy," Fiona said with a soft smile as she flicked off the hair dryer. "In the old days, that would mean you'd have like twelve people coming over - the six people you'd invited and their one partner, but with the way families are exploding, that means there's going to be probably close to a hundred people in the house tonight. I'm sure it's going to be a security nightmare for Niko and Alexis."

"Nah," Andy said, waving his hand. "Phil's going to get here first, and so Linda and Violet are going to be helping out with managing security, as well as whoever Phil's got in terms of security plants for Eric, Ari, Jenna and Mel."

"You really think Phil's got some chick from the Air Force embedded in each of their families?" Sheridan asked.

"I'm betting Linda got him to do it, but yes, I'd be willing to stake my life on the fact that Phil and Linda have made sure all of our friends have some level of security going on here in New Eden," Andy said. "And while I suspect most of them didn't come in with Linda's original team, I'd wager she's trained them up since then, and brought them into her inner circle. When they were over here for Halloween, I got to spend a little bit of time getting to know Linda, and that woman has contingencies for her contingencies. If Plan A fails, she's got a whole rest of the alphabet of plans to fall back on for any given situation. So if you assume we've each probably got one or two highly trained soldiers in our households, that means you've got a small battalion here tonight going to keep us all safe. I don't think there's any place other than the base itself quite so safe within a hundred miles."

"I'll make sure all us girls are being friendly and hella welcoming to all the new partners, dude," Sheridan said. "This is the new village, so we all totes gotta make friends with everybody. Maybe I'll offer to teach a class to those interested like one day a week, pole dancing and hot yoga. Bet that'd get a decent turnout and not one of you boys would complain about it."

Fiona giggled a little bit, something that always made Andy smile a little. "Just don't use it as a chance to trawl for play partners all the time, Sher," she told the blonde.

"Oh! Shit, dude, I hella didn't even think about that!" Sheridan said, finally turning off her blow dryer. Even with her brushing it out, the amount of curl in the blonde's hair was truly unruly in the best of ways. "What is the policy on us playing with girls outside of the house? I mean, there's more than plenty of ladyflesh here I can't wait to sample, but is it cool if we're having fun with girls hooked up with your friends?"

"I mean, I'd be one hell of a hypocrite if I started dictating to people who they could and couldn't have fun with now, wouldn't I?" Andy laughed. "As long as everybody involved is happy and willing, and there's no men involved, I say you do who you want to."

"Cool cool," Sheridan said, nodding. "Not planning on it, but totes grand to know I've got the option if I want it. I got too many ladies in the house I haven't gotten a taste of yet anyway."

"I wasn't your first?" Fiona said, feigning mock disappointment. "My life is a failure."

"The day after I woke up from getting imprinted, I made a pass at Aisling, and the two of us had ourselves some hot fun, but I know Andy knew all about it."

He nodded in agreement. "Ash does tend to tell me pretty much everything, so yeah, she mentioned it. I told her that I hoped you both had fun, and she assured me that you two had yourselves a grand old time."

Fiona came over and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm so glad you haven't changed that much over the years, Andy. Back when you, Mo and I hooked up at the wedding, you were so intent on making sure that the two of us were both enjoying ourselves that we both had to remind you it was okay for you to have fun too."

Andy laughed, rolling his eyes. "I'm pretty sure all three of us had trouble standing straight for the next few days, so you knew all too well I got mine."

"So hey, if I pick somebody up from another family at the party tonight, am I gonna be the first of House Rook to hook up with somebody other than the clan in the New Eden era?" Sheridan asked. "That'd be hella cool, being first."

"I mean, I suspect it's likely unless Andy knows something he isn't telling us," Fiona said, looking over at Andy, who was doing his best to look as impassive as he could. Fiona knew him all too well, though, and whatever subtle tell he had that he wasn't aware of from back in their college days, aggravatingly it seemed to still be there, and exploitable by Fiona. "Which he is. Okay, Mister Mister, who's got the honor? Was it Niko? I bet it was Niko."
