“Thank you, this was the best birthday ever.”
Mary was still concerned about how Darryl felt.
“Was he okay when he left? I saw you talking to him as he and Robbie were leaving.”
“He is, actually. I guess David had a positive impact on him.” She giggled and looked at me. “He said if you didn’t treat me right he’d kick your butt. Robbie said if I dump you to have you give her a call.”
I perked up.
“I’ll keep her number on speed dial, just in case.”
“Tracy tells me you offered yourself up as her birthday present,” Tom said, and smirked when he saw my look of panic.
Poor Tracy, it was obvious that she was Daddy’s little girl and that she told him everything.
“Daddy!”
I tickled her and she squealed.
“I think someone’s sharing too much information with the parental units. I heard you told your dad your pet name for me!”
She got big eyes and stuck out her tongue. She was embarrassed for being caught, but she wasn’t sorry for it.
“If the name fits...”
“What nickname?” Mary asked Tom.
“Bemoc.” She looked confused, so he explained. “Big Man on Campus.”
“It could be worse,” Mary decided.
“Don’t give her any ideas,” I begged.
I continued the attack as she giggled and made a half-hearted effort to fight me off. She changed tactics and pulled me into a sizzling kiss. That distracted me and I heard her dad snort. I have to say Mr. Happy was very close to taking over my body after that kiss. It was a good thing her parents were there.
I broke the kiss and looked into her eyes.
“Girl, you’re going to get me into so much trouble. You keep that up and your dad’ll be chasing me out of here with a shotgun.”
Her dad played along.
“Mary, where are the keys to the gun safe?”
“In the jewelry box on my dresser,” Mary deadpanned.
Tracy eyes got big and then she realized they were kidding. Her parents and I had a good laugh and she eventually joined in. I don’t think she was used to her guy friends joking with her parents. We spent another forty-five minutes getting to know each other and then I yawned. I needed to leave because I had a game the next day. I had to admit, I had a good time with both Tracy and her parents, Tom and Mary.
Tracy walked me to the door.
“Do you want me to give you a ride home?”
That’s right. She had a legal driver’s license now. I would have to make some plans that took advantage of this new freedom.
“No, I feel like walking. I need to stretch my back out before I go to bed.”
She stepped out onto the front porch and closed the door behind her. She gave me a lusty look, wrapped her arms around my neck, and pulled me in for kiss. Everything about Tracy was comfortable. I wasn’t nervous, or out of sorts, and I enjoyed being with her. We pulled our lips from each other. Soon our innocent little kisses picked up in temperature and intensity. If I hadn’t promised to protect her virtue tonight, God only knows what I would have done.
“Wow. That was a great kiss. I wish I didn’t have to leave.”
“Don’t. Spend the night with me.”
I was a little confused now, but I had made a promise.
“I thought you wanted to get to know each other and take it slow.”
That was the exact right thing to say.
“I said that because I figured you’d be like all the other guys I’ve been out with. They would’ve been all over me. But you, I don’t know, it’s as if we’re doing a slow dance, and the lust is building. I don’t know what to do with you. All my friends love you. If I wasn’t interested in you, they all would be dumping their boyfriends and begging you to go out with them. And my parents! What did you do to them? They’re so excited you’re seeing me they would probably allow you to spend the night! I don’t know if I want you to throw me down on the stoop and make love to me, or if I should run from you. I’m scared I’m going to mess this up.”
Before she could have a complete meltdown, I kissed her again. Greg had told me once that a great kiss would short-circuit a girl’s brain. I know it did mine. I wrapped my hands around her until I found her hips and pulled her tightly into me. I wanted her to know I wasn’t a total wimp. If she was worried she didn’t turn me on, I was sure she could feel the evidence that was pressing into her.
The next thing I knew she had pushed me up against the door as she groped and kissed me heatedly. The teasing had gotten us both worked up, and suddenly the dam broke. Tracy climbed up me and wrapped her legs around my hips, moaned softly and tried to put her tongue down my throat.
I decided to enjoy the pleasure and worry about everything else later.
She pulled at my shirt up in the front, so she could have access to bare skin. Tracy rubbed her hands over my chest before returning to kiss me. I recognized we might actually have sex on her front porch. I think if my back hadn’t started to hurt, we would have.
“Oh, ouch! Baby, you have to get down.”
She got a look of concern.
“Did I hurt you?”
“No. I’m okay. My back is still a little tender. Tracy, if we don’t stop I’m going to ravish you right here—parental units be damned! I promised I wouldn’t let this get too far. But if you continue, you have to understand I’m a teenage boy who wants nothing more than to be with you in every way I can.”
She seemed to realize what a near thing it had been.
“Look, it’s getting late and I have a big game tomorrow. Are you free tomorrow after I get back from the game?” I asked.
She gave me a one of her best smoking-hot looks.
“Yes, I’d love to go out with you.”
“You just made my whole week.”
I gave her a quick kiss and left before she lured me to her bed. When I hit the end of the driveway, I almost turned around and went back. It took every ounce of my willpower to leave.
When I got home, I took a long, hot shower. The water beating on my neck and back felt wonderful. When I jumped out, I took one of my muscle relaxants. I didn’t want to take too many of them, because I was afraid I liked them too much, but I wanted to be ready for the game tomorrow.
Chapter 11 – Tug on Superman’s Cape
Saturday September 14
The pills gave me vivid dreams. I watched Tracy and Darryl by the pool, in the love seat by the fireplace. I could see her head in his lap. It was obvious she wasn’t taking a nap.
Tami sat by me and tried to reassure me as I watched my girl have sex in front of me. Cindy and Suzanne laughed at my discomfort. Tom and Mary were cheering them on as Darryl started to moan.
How could everyone just watch this happen? Somehow, I was in that ambiguous state where I knew I was in a dream, but I couldn’t wake up. Why would I dream this? Was it because I wasn’t sure about Tracy and my relationship?
When I looked back at Tracy and Darryl, they were gone. Tami crawled off the love seat and knelt before me. Somehow, I was suddenly naked. She grasped my member and stroked it. She looked into my eyes, and watched to see what I would do. She gave me a mysterious smile and then took me into her mouth. It felt unbelievably real.
I could feel the dream start to fade. I fought to keep it going, because I was almost there. I looked down again. For some reason Tami was gone and Tina was in her place. Why had Tina not told me we couldn’t go out? I was confused, but my dream lover was doing wonderful things to Mr. Happy. Even in my dreams he seemed to be in control. Cindy and Suzanne were now sitting right behind Tina. Every few moments they’d look up and smile at me as if I’d missed something.
The dream started to leave me. I could see the morning light through my closed eyelids as I woke up to, of all people, my dream girl, Peggy. Then all the girls left my dream-addled mind.
