There's a First Time for Everything

The exact nature of these rumors was something that Von was sincerely hoping that they wouldn't have to discuss, but it was something he knew to be a distinct possibility. "It's... well, they're of a sensitive nature... and you know how gossip around the church can be, everyone wanting to make matters more lurid than they have to be because they want something to discuss... and because I know you, I wouldn't want to be spreading around such falsehoods that might further sully your reputation..."

"Enlighten me," Sophie replied, keeping her voice even.

"Enlighten both of us," Rose said, setting her book aside and smiling a playfully confident smile. "This is sounding positively exciting, now."

Von was on the spot again. He really didn't like being on the spot, but this was something that he knew coming in might be a possibility, and it was thusly something he'd have to get through.

Taking a breath, he continued shakily, "That you... and some of the other members of the Brigade who have quit..."

Von closed his eyes, pausing, before letting the rest of what he had to say out in one quick exaltation that came so quickly it almost sounded like a single word, "...have-been-engaging-in-acts-of-wanton-carnality-in-strict-opposition-of-the-club's-founding-principles..."

He took a breath, proud that he was able to get it all out, and embarrassed that he got it all out.

Sophie eyed Rose, and the other girl with the almost unreadable face eyed her back.

"Acts of wanton carnality?" Rose said, letting the words roll over her tongue with some amusement. "I rather like the sounds of that, actually."

"They're just rumors," Von replied quickly, turning his attention back to Sophie. "I put no stock in them, and I shut them down whenever I hear them so they aren't allowed to grow and build in strength!"

Sophie looked up at him and smiled, kindly. "You didn't have to do that."

Von nodded. "I know... I know you are fully capable of defending yourself, but you weren't there, and the things they were saying were so vile and..."

"And what?" Rose prodded. "This is getting juicy."

He looked over toward the girl in the faded red dress, and there was something about the way she sat, leaning towards him and Sophie with a kind of playful anticipation, that made him uncomfortable. If she was friends with Sophie, she couldn't be bad, but all the same there was something about Rose that almost made him feel a heat similar to what he'd been feeling near Sophie.

Shaking his head slightly, Von finished, "And... and it felt like I had to defend your honor when it was being challenged so. So, I did... but that can only go so far."

Sophie looked up at him, her big, light blue eyes sympathetic and kind, yet with that unmistakable trace of fire to them that he liked about her so very much. There was a pleasant warmth to her smile... something that soon flickered around the edges into something else that brought those uncomfortable feelings forth in Von again.

"I appreciate everything you said and did on my behalf, because it was very sweet, and you're a very sweet guy... a lot of guys would do similar things expecting something in exchange, or because they believed I wasn't strong enough, but that's not you. That's not something you'd do, you just did it because you felt it was right, and that's what makes you genuinely one of the best guys out there," Sophie explained.

"She's right, you know," Rose added, chuckling softly. "Oh, how many guys I've known in my life who will play hero one moment, and villain the next... yet Sophie told me you haven't a villainous bone in your body, Von Everett, and while she has a certain naivete in some things, I don't believe this to be one. You are a decent and heroic type, aren't you?"

Blushing heavily, Von looked at the ground. "I don't know if I'd go *that* far, but I try... now, Sophie, if you'd just let me explain-"

With a certain unexpected fire in her tone, Sophie interrupted him. "And you're right, Von, I *can* defend myself. I have done it for my entire life, as I will for the rest of my life going forward. I am no damsel in distress, and while your kindness is thoroughly appreciated, I don't want you jumping into my fights for me, especially when they will make you a liar, because I know how much your reputation means to you."

As she spoke, her fire slowly transformed into something different and wholly unfamiliar in Von's eyes, at least when it came to Sophie. A dark playfulness crept into her eyes, and her tone had become lower and downright sultry by the end. It was almost as if someone else had replaced Sophie in that moment, yet he knew unreservedly this to be the girl he knew.

But how had she made him a liar? Unless...

It took a moment for the full weight of what she'd said to kick in, but once it had, he became unsteady as it felt like the world had collapsed beneath Von. "I... but... what?"

Rose interrupted. "Technically I don't think you made him a liar except by omission, because as far as he knew, he was telling the truth."

"True," Sophie replied, looking from Rose back to Von. "But I still feel a little bad all the same; I don't want to make you a liar, Von."

Reeling, he took a step back from the bed. "I am... I'm so confused..."

Rose got up from her chair and approached Sophie and Von, strolling as if she hadn't a care in the world, though with the focus of a predator approaching its prey.

"It seems as if he doesn't entirely understand what you're trying to say," Rose practically purred. "Or perhaps he does, but he thinks he doesn't *want* to. You might have to make it clear what you're trying to communicate, Sophie Cusack, just so that there is no doubt whatsoever about what is occurring here."

Von took another step back toward the door, his fight or flight instincts kicking in rather dramatically. Something very wrong was happening here, something that he was only partially sure he understood, but it seemed as if this might be one of those mysteries of life that was better off left a mystery. There was a faintly sinful charge to the air, and he felt like if he didn't extricate himself at once, the situation might explode in a most unpleasant fashion.

"I think you're right," Sophie replied, standing up and slowly approaching him, keeping her distance yet making her intentions clearer with each step. "Von, I want you to understand something very simple."

"W-w-what's that?" he stuttered, nervous.

"I'm still me... nothing fundamental about my being, my goodness, my strength, none of that has changed... but in the past few months, the course of my life has been altered by a number of epiphanies that have led me to pursue a different path," Sophie explained.

Even though he had at least a foot in height and more than eighty pounds of muscle on her, Von couldn't help but feel backed into a corner by this girl he'd looked up to. He'd thought he'd come here today as a shining knight on a glorious crusade for goodness, and now it took almost everything he had not to cower.

Clearing his throat, he weakly asked, "And what path is that, if you don't mind my asking?"

Cocking her head slightly, Sophie smiled pleasantly and put her hands on her hips. "Well... sex, obviously."

For emphasis, she grabbed onto the waistband of her skirt and pulled it down, dropping it to the floor. Despite his better instincts, Von's eyes were drawn to this act, and he couldn't help but take in her bare legs with their creamy, pale and soft-looking skin. Looking higher though he knew it was shameful to do so, he was confused for a moment to not see her underwear, but instead a thick, dark patch of pubic hair over a pair of moist, pink vaginal lips.

His dark eyes went wide and nearly popped out of his skull. Before they could, however, a grinning Sophie reached for the bottom of her sweater and pulled upward, pulling the tight garment over her ample chest, then over her head. She tossed it at Von, and on instinct he caught it. He didn't hold it long, however, dropping it the moment he realized that Sophie was standing in front of him completely naked.

Now, while Von was incredibly sheltered by his upbringing, through his parents and the church he had at least a basic understanding of the birds and the bees, and knew what parts boys and girls had that were different from each other. He also knew from this particular education that you weren't supposed to see them outside of marriage, that one was supposed to resist all those urges until then for the good of your purity and its reflection upon your immortal soul.

He knew all of this, and he knew that what he was seeing now was wrong and that he shouldn't be staring.

And yet, he stared. He stared long and hard, because sometimes in life you can't help but stare when presented by an enormous, firm and thoroughly bare pair of the nicest and tits in the world.

It was one thing to know that women had breasts, but another thing entirely to see them in person, that round swell, those insistent pointed nipples... everything about them was hypnotic to Von, as if this were the first time he had truly been able to see, well, anything. Almost ravenous, his eyes quickly darted down, taking in the impressive curves of her body, to the round, fullness of her ass, to that moist joining between her legs, but soon those breasts captivated him once more. There was a stirring in his pants, a violent, warm insistence between his legs that he had thought before to be shameful as it pressed against the front of his pants, but felt thoroughly unavoidable as he continued to gape at her naked beauty.

Only Sophie's voice managed to pull his vision back to her face, and Von into something resembling reality.

"You and I, Von, have spent a lot of our lives hearing a lot of lies about sex... and our bodies..." Sophie said, running her hands up her sides before cupping her breasts. The way she squeezed them, seemingly so soft and firm at once... it made thoughts flash in Von's mind of what it would feel like to touch them, making his hands quiver with hope and anticipation in spite of the lessons he'd been taught his entire life echoing in the back of his mind.

Nervously, he hid his hands behind his back.

"We were told that our urges are shameful, that our bodies are sinful, that we aren't meant to enjoy ourselves, only using our bodies to 'do our duty', to serve some greater plan and only once we were married, and that we are better people for cherishing our purity and fighting against any feelings of pleasure that we might take out of life... but those voices, they were wrong," Sophie said, stepping forward towards him.

Though he had come here with all sorts of speeches in mind, right now, Von was stuck at a complete loss for words, a deer in headlights as Sophie sauntered over toward him looking like his every dark fantasy come to life.

"You see, I had an epiphany recently," Sophie explained, continuing her slow stroll towards him, the room seemingly getting hotter with every step she took towards the frozen boy. "I've discovered that with the right partner, you can find light and freedom in sex, not darkness and damnation. You won't have turned your heart away from the Lord by enjoying yourself... I mean, He did grant us the ability to truly enjoy this act, and I believe that this was a gift that we cannot turn away from... and the sooner that you understand there doesn't have to be any shame in any of this, be it you enjoying yourself in your own private world or with a consenting partner (or two, or three, or...), well... you can finally start living..."

She'd stepped to within a few inches of him, and it almost felt like he could feel the heat radiating off of her from here. Her pale skin began to flush pink with excitement, and she looked up at him with those hopeful, seductive blue eyes. His instincts, hidden away for so long, commanded him to do one thing, but the words that had been drilled into him his entire life by his parents and church officials told him another.

As she pursed those full, beautiful lips of hers and leaned into him, Von stepped away.

"I should go..." he said, turning toward the doorway.

He was stopped, however, by the sight of Rose closing the door, then standing in front of it.

"But do you *want* to go? That really is the question, isn't it, Von Everett?" Rose teased, running her hands down her body.

Though her body wasn't nearly as curvy as Sophie's, Von knew he would have had to be blind to see that Rose wasn't gorgeous as well, with a taller, leaner frame, and some tighter but not unimpressive curves of her own.

"I... I don't know..." he said, the defense sounding weaker by the moment.

"If you want to leave, you can leave, we can't and won't stop you from doing that, of course..." Rose said, stepping towards him as she ran her hands up to her shoulders. "But why would you want to? You've got a rare opportunity before you right now with two stunning, enthusiastic, and quite frankly, rather creative *sluts* who will be more than happy to show you how wrong you were about those 'wanton acts of carnality' you mentioned earlier..."

With this, she grabbed at the straps of her dress and dropped them down her shoulders, before continuing to pull it down. In one swift motion, the dress was soon pooled around her ankles, giving Von a view of only the second naked woman he had ever seen in his life. The 5'8" Rose had a leaner, more athletic frame, and her skin was lightly tanned. Shaved completely bare of any pubic hair, her pink, moist sex looked even more prominent than Sophie's, and while her C-cups weren't as impressively large as Sophie's, they were still firm and pert, with nipples that stood out proudly and prominently.

For a moment, Von seriously considered pushing past her. He raised his hand toward the doorknob and took half a step forward... but then something stopped him. Call it something in Sophie's words clicking within him, or maybe the unstoppable power of two naked 18-year-old beauties throwing themselves at him, but something stopped him in his tracks.

He lowered his hand. Rose grinned.

"I think we might have reached him, Sophie Cusack..." Rose purred, her eyes dropping down to the prominent bulge in his pants. "I think we've *very* much reached him..."

Von felt Sophie walk up behind him, the insistent swell of her bare breasts pressed into his back as she reached around and ran her hands up his chest.

"I've been told quite frequently that I can be *very* persuasive," Sophie replied, turning Von around to face her.

Von looked down at the busty, naked girl he thought he'd known so well, and saw something different in that look that she flashed up at him. So often before, in her strength, it would feel like she was putting on a mask and readying herself for battle by becoming this different person. Before, it was a skill of hers that he admired, how easily she could control which parts of herself she showed to the world to accomplish whatever her goals might be.

Now, though, there was none of that pretense. What he saw on her face was honesty, plain and simple; an entirely unrestrained Sophie who looked completely free and... well, so utterly *herself*. It may have been a look greatly separated from the fire and brimstone side of her that he had always enjoyed before, but seeing her complete and utter satisfaction reached something deep inside of him that overwhelmed what few defenses hadn't been broken by the sight of her massive, naked tits.

This was why he didn't resist when Sophie laced her fingers behind his neck and pulled him in for his first ever kiss. As her soft, pouty lips met his, it felt as if fireworks had been set off inside of him. There was no sense of danger or warning, no fear for his immortal soul, just a simple understanding that this felt right, and that surrendering to it was hardly a bad thing.

At first it was more Sophie kissing him, but as he gave over to instinct, Von began kissing her back. First timidly, soon he began to read the way she kissed him and responded in kind, giving back some of the fire she was giving. Though it felt uncomfortable and surprising when her tongue first probed his mouth, soon he was tentatively pressing his tongue between her lips, savoring the light moans she gave.

From behind him, Rose took hold of Von's arms, guiding them and wrapping them around Sophie's back, forcing him to pull her close, before sliding one hand down to Sophie's bare ass. Though the sudden contact with one of her most intimate and private parts surprised him, and almost caused him to recoil at first, the way Sophie moaned when he gently cupped her ass cheeks helped him relax.

When he instinctively squeezed even harder, she moaned louder against his lips, encouraging him further.

Rose didn't stop there, however, pressing herself tightly against his back. The feeling of her firm breasts against him made Von moan slightly, but her hands running over his body, exploring his muscles, began to drive him wild, making it almost feel as if the already rigid erection in his pants might burst through at any moment.

"My, my, my... you have a really attractive friend," Rose purred, unbuttoning the top few buttons of his shirt so she could reach inside and stroke his chest muscles. "And he really works out, too..."

Breaking the kiss with some worry, Von replied, "That's not a problem, is it? Because I don't get to go out very much, and there's only so much to do at home so I just tend to-"

Rose interrupted him by unbuttoning a couple more buttons, stroking more of his muscles. "Hardly."

"It's really not," Sophie confirmed, pulling back slightly so she could get a better view at his now semi-exposed chest and abs. "I always knew you were handsome, but this... wow..."

Suddenly, Rose stopped unbuttoning his shirt and instead slid her hands down, slipping one deftly beneath his pants and wrapping it around his underwear-clad cock. The sudden contact made him groan loudly in surprise.

Rose didn't groan, but the way her voice rose, Von was fairly certain her eyes were about the size of saucers for all the surprise in her tone.

"Holy shit... *holy* shit... he's fucking huge!" she said, continuing to grope him, now more eager than ever. "I've had some huge cocks before, but... Von Everett, you're hiding a monster between your legs!"

"Really? Bigger than Ryan?" Sophie asked, letting go of his neck. Deftly, she unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants, dropping them around his ankles and exposing his boxers-clad bulge, still being eagerly groped by Rose.

Sophie's eyes *did* go wide with what she saw. "Wow. Wow! You're right! That... that's absolutely enormous... wow..."

Von likely would have blushed if he hadn't been overstimulated from this treatment. Sandwiched between two gorgeous, naked women was something he never had expected, or thought he'd wanted in life, but now that he was here, there was nowhere he would have rather been. There was fear to be sure, but delicious, all-encompassing excitement as well. Not only did it feel amazing, but seeing Sophie so truly and fundamentally happy, so clearly comfortable in her own skin, it suddenly helped her words make a lot more sense.

This was what he'd been afraid of his entire life?

"Alright, Sophie Cusack, you're one of my best friends and you know I love you, I've let you be greedy for long enough; it's my turn now," Rose said, grabbing Von by the shoulders and turning him around.

Looking down into the lithe blonde's dazzling green eyes, made all the bigger behind her glasses, Von was hypnotized into another smile.

"Wow..." he said.

This amused Rose. "Wow, indeed... and while I might think our fair friend with the massive jugs behind you is far more wow-worthy-"

"Awww, thanks!" Sophie interrupted.
