Karen grinned. "In the shower?"
Courtney shook her head. "With your tongue," she replied as she pulled down on Karen's hips.
Rob's wilting member bobbed its agreement with that suggestion.
***
When Karen awoke her body ached. The previous night had been phenomenal, but now she was feeling the consequences. The ache between her legs, however, was not what had woken her up. Courtney's lips tenderly pressing against her throat had done the deed. Karen wondered again where Courtney got her energy and insatiable appetite for all things sex. It must have been rubbing off on her, because she felt a new and highly unique ache develop between her legs.
Karen pretended to remain sleeping as Courtney gradually grew more brazen in her attempts to wake her. She already had one hand over her breast, and was kissing up and down her neck from behind as the two of them spooned. Karen's front was against Rob's side and he remained in a deep slumber. He was sure to be wiped after what the two of them had put him through the previous evening. Courtney should have been too but she always seemed to recuperate very quickly.
Karen's legs shifted tellingly as Courtney took her earlobe between her lips and nibbled on it gently. Her large breasts pressed against Karen's back, and she their wonderful warm bulk flattened between them as Courtney held her close.
"Wake up Kare-bear," she said softly into her ear. Her warm breath kissed her neck before her lips did.
Karen continued to 'sleep' and felt Courtney shift behind her. Her hand slid away from Karen's breast, and went down her side until it came to rest on her hip. Karen was confused for a moment until she felt Courtney's hips slid back away from her and her hand slid over her ass. Courtney kissed her shoulder, and ran her fingers back and forth along the cleft of her ass. The ache between Karen's legs was joined by a tingling sensation, and her breathing changed subtly.
"Wake up Karen," Courtney said softly. "We need to give Rob his special Christmas present."
As she said this she slid her fingers down along Karen's gluteal cleft and over her perineum. The digits forced themselves between her pressed together thighs, and probed at the opening of her channel. Karen exhaled shakily as those fingers entered her, and groaned softly as they slid in and out of her recently abused pussy. Karen's sex clutched Courtney's fingers tightly, and as they withdrew from her a gloss of her nectar clung to them.
"All wet," Courtney noted in a low, seductive voice. "Does Karen want her present first?" she asked.
Karen moaned softly in affirmation.
"She'll have to be quiet if she does," Courtney said in the same tone. "If she wakes Rob up she won't get any of her presents."
"Please," Karen breathed almost inaudibly.
Unlike Courtney, Karen could keep herself quiet if she really needed to. Explosive declarations of her state of arousal did not erupt from her in the same way they seemed to from Courtney. Knowing this, and knowing that Rob was essentially dead to the world at the moment, Courtney began to work her fingers in and out of Karen's pussy just a little bit faster. A gleam formed between Karen's thighs as Courtney's fingers spread her juices on their journey in and out of Karen's warm sex.
"I want you to cum for me," Courtney told her in a tone dripping with sensuality. "I want to feel your pussy squeeze my fingers, and I want to lick your juices off the insides of your thighs once you've finished."
Karen shuddered, and Courtney smiled to herself. It was always easiest to get Karen off when she had first woken up. Something about her state of mind, the residual peace of slumber, that seemed to make it easy to trigger immense pleasure within her feminine lover. Karen rolled forward and shifted back so that she was on her stomach beside Rob and Courtney was positioned above her. Courtney turned her hand so her fingers pressed down against the front wall of Karen's pussy.
Karen's legs widened, and Courtney's fingers moved faster.
"Let it come Karen," Courtney urged her, her voice never rising above a whisper. "Just relax and let it come."
Karen's chest was heaving as she breathed heavily. Her fists were balled up around the bedspread, and she pressed her face flat against the comforter as her breaths threatened to become moans. She felt her hot breath whisper along her skin as she panted explosively against the bed. Courtney's fingers continued their relentless massage of her G-spot, and with every thrust Karen felt herself jolt closer to her orgasm.
Courtney's other hand rubbed her shoulder and massaged her neck as she continued murmuring soft words of erotic encouragement. Karen's hips began to push back against Courtney's hand, and she increased the pace of her thrusts. Courtney's fingers became a gleaming blur as she fingered Karen mercilessly. Karen's heart rate spiked, and her muscles seized up before she drove herself up and back against Courtney's plunging fingers.
If it had been Courtney having the orgasm there was no way Rob would have remained asleep, but Karen chomped down on the corner of a pillow and managed to muffle those climatic exclamations as pleasure coursed through every fibre of her being. Courtney continued to finger Karen as her pussy squeezed her fingers in rhythmic pulses. She laid half on top of Karen to combat her squirming, and kissed along her throat as her friend shuddered beneath her.
Once those tremors had run their course, Courtney withdrew her fingers from Karen and kissed her shoulder affectionately.
"Merry Christmas," she said softly.
Karen gave a muffled laugh before turning her face away from the pillow to look at her from over her shoulder. "I must have been a good girl to deserve that."
Courtney kissed her along the nape of her neck. "No one's better."
She continued to kiss and caress Karen for a while, and she simply lay there enjoying the intimacy of Courtney's touch and the way her body felt pressed against her. Karen often wondered how it was that this all felt so natural. They had all the rhythms, all the quirks, and even the unconscious mannerisms of any other members of an intimate relationship. The only difference was that there was an extra member from what was typical. It caused trouble at times when Karen was with Rob or Courtney in public, people noticed on some level that Karen was not just a friend to either of them.
"You said something about Rob's present," Karen mumbled sleepily. She was really enjoying the massage Courtney was giving her.
"Hmhm," Courtney hummed. "I think he should wake up with us licking his candy cane."
Karen giggled. "God you're disgusting sometimes."
"What like this?" Courtney asked before lapping at Karen's ear.
"Ew!" Karen exclaimed.
Courtney giggled and kept going as Karen fought to get out from beneath her. Rob shifted beside them, and they both froze. He adjusted his legs and then seemed to fall back into a deeper sleep. The two girls shared a muted laugh before Courtney got off of Karen and the two carefully moved to the end of the bed. They slid under the comforter, with Courtney's breasts pressing against Rob's right thigh and Karen's against his left.
Rob was already semi-hard just as a consequence of it being morning. It was dark beneath the comforter but Karen could make out Courtney's silhouette as her devilish tongue left her mouth and slid along his shaft from base to tip. Karen shifted forward and mimicked Courtney's motion on the other side of his tumescent member. The soft caresses of both their tongues quickly had Rob's organ bloated and standing at attention.
Courtney's tongue made an upward pass while Karen's made a downward one, doing the natural opposite of what the other girl was doing. Their two tongues ran along Rob's shaft in this alternating pattern, and it was soon coated liberally in their combined saliva. Courtney's lips wrapped around the helm of Rob's cock, and failed to keep the rhythm she and Karen had established as Karen's tongue swept back upward.
Their lips bumped against each other, and Courtney tilted her head so that Karen's lips covered half of Rob's cockhead and hers covered the rest. Their lips pressed together in a French kiss with the helm of his cock keeping their tongues from finding each other.
It was to this arrangement that Rob awoke.
Karen heard Rob groan softly above them and felt Courtney's lips curl as she grinned against the head of his cock. Both swept their tongues over their portion of the glans and fought back giggles as Rob gasped at his being pulled out of slumber. Karen's tongue bumped against Courtney's as both went for the frenulum and ceded her claim over it by sliding her tongue down his shaft. Courtney's mouth went over the gleaming helm of his shaft and her tongue dragged along the drooling slit at the tip.
Karen drew one of Rob's balls into her mouth as Courtney nursed on his cockhead. He groaned and pushed back the comforter unveil his early morning temptresses. Courtney smiled at him around his cock before she made her first descent. His cock slid deep into her mouth, and her cheeks turned concave as she applied suction to his shaft when her lips slid back upward. Karen's tongue swept over Rob's balls and she used a finger to massage his perineum.
Rob groaned in sleepy contentment as he lay his head back against the pillow, shut his eyes, and succumbed to the pleasure the two of them brought him. This was one of Courtney's favorite developments since their new arrangement had started. With Karen involved Rob seemed far better at allowing himself to just receive pleasure without giving some back in return. It had long been an irritant to Courtney that he only let their sexual encounters be one sided when she insisted upon it. She liked giving him pleasure for the sake of doing it sometimes, and did not always need reciprocation immediately.
Karen watched Courtney bob up and down along Rob's shaft and continued to spread her saliva along his scrotum liberally. She kept an eye for an opening and when Courtney drew back to swirl her tongue around Rob's cockhead she swept her own tongue up the entire length of his shaft. Courtney's eyes looked into hers as their tongues dueled once more around the obstacle of Rob's glans, but this time it was Courtney who went down to pay his balls their due.
Rob hummed at the change. Karen's lips wrapped around Rob's cock and she slid down the slick pole until she hit her gag reflex. She pushed past it and he slid into her eager throat. Courtney sucked one of his testicles into her mouth and ran her tongue along the sacks wrinkled flesh. Two distinct mouths, but with one singular purpose: to get him off. Their techniques were different, but both drove Rob towards their objective with equal effectiveness.
Rob kept his eyes shut, and felt the familiar stirrings deep inside his lower abdomen. Both girls ran their wide opened mouths along one half of his shaft in opposite directions before Courtney once again took over at his shaft and Karen went back to his balls. The competitive side got to Courtney, and she smoothly swallowed down his erect member until her lips were pressed flush against his body. She worked the muscles of her throat around it, caressing it rhythmically.
Karen sucked softly on one of his balls before swirling her tongue around the entire sack and drawing the other inside. She bathed it with her tongue, and massaged his perineum rhythmically. She could feel his balls tightening up against his body and knew what was about to arrive. Courtney seemed to have sensed it as well, because it was not difficult to get her to share his shaft with Karen when she came up for the big finish.
They took turns swallowing him. One drawing him down into her throat while the other slid their tongue down his length just ahead of the other's lips on the way down and just behind them on the way up. They picked up speed once they had gotten accustomed to the intricacies of the series of movements. Rob lost track of which set of lips was which by the end, and let himself barrel towards the edge without any guilt for failing to reciprocate.
It was at the transfer from Karen's mouth to Courtney's that his cock gave its first lurch. That streamer shot up between their lips, and fell down onto Karen's cheek. The next went into Courtney's mouth and the two girls swapped places hurriedly before the third stream erupted from the spewing member. Karen felt the jet impact the roof of her mouth and pulled back to let Courtney have the next. They were too slow, however, and the twitching organ sent a wad of cum upward before it fell upon the side of Courtney's nose and past the corner of her mouth.
The two of them began an abbreviated version of their earlier tag team deep throat with Rob's cockhead as a few last surges ran through his cock. Rob's breath left him shakily as his orgasm at last subsided, and he moaned softly as they continued to coax stubborn dregs out from his quickly wilting organ. The two girls shared a kiss and cleaned each other up above his now flaccid member, an act which threatened to breathe new life into it. Both girls ascended his body, kissing his stomach, and then his chest in unison before settling down on either side of him for an early morning cuddle.
It was still dark, and a glance at the clock told Rob that it was not even seven in the morning yet. Karen wanted to celebrate Christmas morning with her family, and would want him to drive her after the three of them had had their gift exchange. So, despite the wonderful tenderness of the snuggling, Rob was unsurprised when Courtney (ever the planner) withdrew and began to get dressed. Karen followed her, and Rob tried to catch a few more moments of rest before he was pulled by both hands into a seated by Courtney and Karen.
"Present time," Courtney announced.
Rob sighed tiredly but dutifully got out of bed. They sat on the floor in the living room, which delighted Winston, and unwrapped their presents. There were practical and impractical gifts. The girls had gone in on a leather jacket for Rob together. It was of high quality, and it fit his frame perfectly. He was sure to get a lot of use out of it. Karen had purchased Courtney a hair straightener that she had longed for but had been unable to justify buying for herself.
After the presents had been unwrapped the three of them ate breakfast. Once everyone had eaten, showered and dressed Rob drove Karen to her parent's house. He and Courtney went to visit her father and Lauren, and were joined by her mother and her boyfriend who she had been dating for quite a long time. Marley seemed very determined to make up for her failures as a mother during her daughters upbringing, and was showing a level of maturity Courtney had not thought she was capable of but delighted in.
Her therapy was going well. It helped to have such supportive people around her, but having an outsider to talk to about everything made it immeasurably easier to cope with all the changes of the past few months. Courtney had difficulty being truly angry with her mother over what had happened to her as a child, however Rob was less forgiving. He did not say anything and was polite towards Marley, but he was not as friendly towards her as he was towards her father and step-mother.
After the day with Courtney's family, the two of them went to Rob's Uncle Don and Aunt Deb's house for dinner. The addition of Jane made things particularly interesting. She had declined their Aunt's offer to eat dinner with them at Thanksgiving, but had received sufficient chastisement from their Nona to discourage her from doing so again when she had been invited to Christmas. The previous year Jane had been a meek version of herself, hardly allowing herself to be seen or spoken to the entire evening. This Christmas she was bold.
This Christmas Brianna had come with her.
It was the first time Jane had ever brought a girl to a family gathering before, and the scandal of it was enough to keep the attention off of Rob, a development for which he was grateful. Rob ate dinner in peace with Courtney, Richard, his Nona, Jane, and Brianna while his parents sat uncomfortably at the other end of the long dinner table. The majority of Rob's extensive extended family was in attendance, which made it easy to disappear when he wanted to without being noticed.
Rob did not feel the need to disappear however. He was in his uncle's house, and here his father had no authority. It was interesting to watch the way the father he had always found so intimidating be so easily neutralized by his uncle. It was not done rudely, in fact by all appearances it was not being done at all, but it was clear that in this instance Harvey Kavanagh had no power. That did not stop Rob from feeling nervous around him, however, but it did not stop him from greeting his mother warmly and speaking to her at length.
After they had eaten, Richard suggested that he and Rob go take a walk. They were leaving the cul-de-sac the house sat in before Richard steered the conversation in the direction Rob knew he had wanted to.
"How is Karen?" he asked.
"Good," Rob replied. It was so wonderful to be able to say that and know it was true.
Richard nodded. "Is she dating at all?"
Richard noted the pause before Rob replied. "No."
Rob did a poor job of concealing his discomfort with Richard's line of questioning. It was not unusual for him to be asked these questions. Guys on campus would occasionally approach him to ask about Karen. It was inevitable, she was extremely beautiful and by all appearances available. Most understood that she might be nervous about men, and Rob hated using that as an excuse, even indirectly, when he told them that she was not really looking for anyone at the moment.
But he did it anyway.
"No," Rob said. "She's still not really... looking just yet."
Richard nodded and fell uncharacteristically quiet as they continued to walk.
"What about you?" Rob asked. "Nona's beginning to worry. Now that Jane's got Brianna she'll probably start bugging you about your lack of a girlfriend."
Richard waved a dismissive hand. "You know me," he said. "I'm no good at relationships."
"So what, you've been celibate?" Rob asked.
Richard grinned. "Not exactly."
The grin faltered for a moment, and Rob saw a look of concern on his cousin's face.
"What's up?" Rob asked.
Richard shook his head. "Nothing," he replied.
They were quiet as they walked for a while, and Richard changed the subject when he spoke again.
"What are you doing for New Year's?" he asked.
"Quiet night," Rob said. "Just me and Courtney."
Richard cocked an eyebrow. "And whose idea was that?"
Rob stopped walking. "What do you mean?"
"Do you honestly think Courtney wants a night in on New Year's Eve? She's a girl Rob, she wants the glitz and glam of going out. Christ, it's your anniversary you gobdaw," Richard replied, using a word their grandfather had liked to use.
"Our anniversary's in February," Rob argued.
"You two started dating after hooking up on New Year's," Richard stated matter-of-factly. "You can act like it doesn't hold significance, but to her it will."
Rob knew it mattered. They were staying in, the three of them, because they wanted to celebrate together in a way they only could without the prying eyes of outsiders. It was unusual for Richard to attempt to give Rob relationship advice, and Rob rarely sought it from him. Richard was good at talking to women, charming them, and having fun with them. He was not, however, experienced in long term relationships of the kind Rob had always been in.
