Then Ryan sighed and said, “I always told you I’d never want to give her back to you. I still don’t, but it’s not my decision to make. I realize that I’m not the one she’s meant to be with. So I just want to tell you that you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll always remember and always appreciate how you stepped back and let me have her the way you did, because you wanted what was best for her. Well, how I can do any less? A part of me will always love her, and because of that, I want what’s best for Dawn. Right now, that means you.” He took a deep breath and extended his hand to me.
I met Ryan’s eyes first, measuring his words and validating the truth in them. And while I got the same wariness from him that I always had, I also understood that he meant what he was saying. So reaching forward, I shook his hand.
Ryan pumped our hands one final time and then pulled back. He turned to Adrienne and nodded to her. Then at last he returned back to Dawn for one final hug.
Then Ryan gathered up his family and headed off, and Dawn returned into my arms.
Time to head home.
“Let’s all get more comfortable,” Dayna sighed after we finished dinner. It was the final night, quite possibly the last time the five of us would be in this house together. Tomorrow, the families would help Dayna and Brandi move into their new apartment in San Francisco, as well as move Adrienne in with Felicia.
Coyly, Dawn took me by the hand and led me into our bedroom. Adrienne went into hers, and Brandi and Dayna went up the stairs. “Just PJs,” Dawn told me. “The plan is to get comfortable and lounge around for the rest of the night, just to talk and open a bottle of wine that Dayna’s been saving.”
I rolled my eyes. Of course the four girls would want to spend all night talking. Isn’t that what girls do? But I obediently started changing into my pajamas, really just a comfortable Nautica short-sleeve and lounge pants set that Adrienne had picked out for me during Freshman year.
But when I was dressed and turned around, it was to see that Dawn was wearing a white linen button-down shirt. More to the point, it was MY linen button-down shirt. And even further to the point, it seemed to be ALL Dawn was wearing. The way the soft linen fell over her breasts made it clear there was no bra beneath it. And Dawn had a particular way of squirming naughtily when she wasn’t wearing panties, either.
I arched an eyebrow and my dick started stirring. But Dawn just smiled at me and sauntered forward, looking amazingly sexy as the long-sleeved cuffs covered her hands and yet her legs were completely bare. “C’mon. Let’s head back out.”
“Sure you don’t want to just stay in?” I whimpered, ogling her obviously.
Dawn grinned and tugged on my arm. “Trust me.”
I felt a momentary twinge of annoyance at the two words. But as soon as that twinge arrived, it passed. Let’s face it: this was Dawn. Of course I trusted her. I would follow her anywhere, and I didn’t have the slightest feeling of being manipulated or kept in the dark. After all, I actually liked surprises. And with Dawn, I had faith that her surprises would turn out well for me.
So I let her lead me back out into the living room. And as the other three girls joined us, I found myself with too many beautiful things to take in at once.
Brandi was the first one down, clad in a purple satin pajama set with a short-sleeved blouse that hung loosely on her slender frame, and very brief shorts that showed off her long legs. She passed us and went straight into the kitchen, prompting Dawn to join her.
Adrienne was out next, wearing a spaghetti strap lace camisole with built-in underwire to support her massive breasts. The cami dropped just past her hips, but was short enough to show that she was only wearing matching lace panties for bottoms. And with a saucy grin at me, she settled onto the opposite couch and pulled her legs up onto the cushion, flashing me a seductive smile.
And as usual, Dayna topped them all. The busty blonde walked into the living room wearing a completely transparent pink nightie that left absolutely nothing to the imagination, allowing me to take in the prodigious curves of her double-D tits and erect nipples, as well as the skimpy strings of her cherry red thong.
My jaw was on the floor and Dayna took one look at me before saying, “What? I SAID comfortable. Besides, the door is locked and for once, we don’t have to worry about any friends dropping by unannounced. We have the whole place to ourselves, and we can get as naked as we want. Any problems with that?”
I grinned and shook my head, catching Dawn’s eye as she and Brandi settled back onto the couches with two wine bottles and five glasses in hand. Hey, if Dayna wanted to get buck naked tonight, who was I to stop her? “Nope,” I replied. “No problems at all.”
Despite the girls’ brief clothing and obvious sexuality, we actually DID kick back and talk. Dawn and I snuggled on one couch, my arm casually wrapped around her with my hand resting just beneath her breast, only occasionally reaching up for a quick fondle. Brandi and Adrienne kicked back on the other couch, their feet on the table and their nice legs stretched out. And Dayna was curled into the armchair, sipping her wine and happily reminiscing about all the hijinks she’d gotten into over the last four years.
“Remember Halloween, Sophomore year, Brandi?” Dayna giggled, not drunk but just tipsy enough to feel quite bubbly. “When Aaron got so drunk he passed out in the back yard? I think the sprinklers woke him up in the morning.”
Brandi looked into her wine glass and snorted. “I remember you yelling out your bedroom door, ‘Where’s Aaron? Where’s Aaron?’ And I’m pretty sure you had both Shane and Kevin in there at the time.”
Dayna giggled and blushed. “That I did.”
“Aaron was never very good at controlling how much he drank. I think he was useless to you more often than not after a party.” Brandi sighed, and then glanced over at Dawn. And with an arched eyebrow, she added, “Maybe you should have kicked him to the curb a little sooner.”
Everyone quieted down as they remembered Aaron feeling up Dawn at that first house party. The thought rather killed the merry mood in the room, but Dawn just reached up to hug me. “It’s okay. Even though he couldn’t have known I was in trouble, somehow Ben was there when I needed him.” And she pulled my head to hers for a sweet, tender kiss.
Adrienne smiled and canted her head to the side, beaming at me while holding her wine glass next to her temple. “He’s always there when you really need him.” And with her wine glass hand, she extended her index finger to gesture at my face and then down to my hip. “Poor boy took two bullets for me.”
I winced, remembering the scar that while faint, was still noticeable across my cheek. The one on my side was in a less obvious place, but actually looked worse.
Brandi sighed and said warmly, “And even though he’s my little brat brother, he’s been there to keep an eye on me, too.”
Dayna frowned and then pouted at me. “I feel left out. I don’t remember you having to come to MY rescue.”
“Oh, yeah?” Brandi giggled. “Does this sound familiar? ‘BEN! SPIDER!!!’” And then Brandi cracked up, causing all the other girls to laugh right along with her.
“Oh, riiight,” Dayna drawled with a wide grin. A second later, her eyes sharpened and her smile turned a little more predatory. She leaned forward and set her wine glass onto the coffee table. “But I seem to remember thanking you quite properly for those rescues.”
I smiled and let my eyes drop. Dayna was still bent over, her large breasts hanging pendulously downward and jiggling enticingly. “Yes, you did,” I replied to her tits.
Dayna sat back up, letting her arms drop to her sides while thrusting her chest forward to provide me a completely unobstructed view of her body. “I miss those days sometimes. You’ve changed so much in the last few years that I’ve known you. I still remember the first time Dawn invited me to join you guys in your little clearing when you were sixteen. You were skinnier back then, still a little awkward and getting used to that body that grew up so fast. But you sure were coordinated when you needed to be.”
