I started laughing and couldn’t seem to stop. Tim just lay there and smiled at me. I ruffled his hair and sat up. I liked him, but not like that. I got up, went to my refrigerator and got everyone water. We were a sweaty mess, and the cold drink felt good going down.
The girls saw I was still hard. They did rock-paper-scissors to see who got me next. I was happy when Tracy won. I always enjoyed our sex. Tim and Kim scooted up to the head of the bed while he recovered. Tracy wanted me doggie-style, probably my favorite position. I put on a condom and buried my bone. We found a comfortable rhythm and began the old in-and-out.
After a few minutes, Kim decided to take matters into her own hands and began to suck Tim back to life. When she had resurrected the dead, she put a condom on him. She straddled his waist so that they were both facing us and she could watch the show. It was sexy as hell to see my friend’s member give Kim pleasure. I think their show turned Tracy on, too. She started to breathe hard and it was clear she was close. I reached under her and began to play with her nipples like I knew she enjoyed.
Kim was the first one to reach her goal. It was very erotic to see her climax hard on Tim’s member. I think he felt the same because he joined her. I gave Tracy’s nipples an extra squeeze and my lover came for me. I let her collapse and catch her breath. When I thought she was ready, I rolled her over and took her missionary-style. Tracy dug her fingernails into my back. That was going to leave a mark!
I grabbed her wrists and pinned them over her head. I forgot about finesse and just let our hips slap together. I leaned down and kissed her. She bit my lower lip as we both came hard.
Tracy and I cuddled while Tim and Kim went and used my shower.
“Was this what you wanted tonight?” I asked.
“Sort of. I was surprised when you had sex with Kim.”
“Tim told me they aren’t going out. He also wanted to spend some quality time with you. I didn’t think you’d mind after the weekend at your lake house.”
“No, I was fine with it. I had fun,” she said.
“But you wouldn’t want to do this often,” I finished her thought.
She looked at me and crawled onto my chest so she could give me a kiss.
“I know we aren’t going to be a couple, but I like our alone time. Mona sort of talked us all into the lake house weekend and things got sort of wild. I wasn’t really thinking when I gave Tim the blowjob. I was afraid, afterwards, that I’d broken my promise to you, and you wouldn’t want to be with me again.”
“I just had a similar conversation with another friend. I know how I am, but we’re friends. I’m not going to put restrictions on our friendship. If you find a steady guy, that’s a different story. I won’t be the guy to get between you and your happiness. I also won’t be doing anything like tonight unless it’s with friends I trust,” I said.
When Tim and Kim were done with the shower, Tracy and I took our turn. She managed to get me interested one more time. When we were done, we were freezing because we had run out of hot water!
After we got dressed, it was still early. We went into the living room and I found my on-demand movie channel. We picked a romantic comedy. While everyone settled in, I rummaged through the freezer and found a big bag of pizza rolls. I popped them into the microwave and heated them up for a snack.
After the movie was done, I took Tim and the girls home. I saved Tracy for last so we could make out a little bit in her driveway. When I got home, I went to get Duke from the house. I found Greg in the kitchen, eating pie. I cut myself a slice and joined him.
“What did you do tonight, little brother?”
“I hate to tell you because you’ll be jealous,” I said.
“You’re probably right. I miss those days, but I sure wouldn’t give up what I have.”
“Nice save,” Angie said as she walked in.
She grabbed a fork, sat down beside me and stole a big bite of my pie. Greg winked at me. We both knew there was no use fighting her. She took a bite out of his next. I just sat back and enjoyed my brother and his wife. He was a lucky man.
Wednesday July 15
I WAS PACKED AND READY to go to camp. The plan was for Tami to pick me up to take me to the airport. I had loved up on Duke and explained to him that I’d only be gone a few days. I was surprised when Harper walked in the back door. I didn’t ask any questions until we were in the car.
“Where’s Tami?” I asked.
“She’ll see you when you get back. You get to talk to me on the way to the airport.”
“Okay, what am I talking to you about?”
“My job is to talk you out of being Tami’s boyfriend. She knows you want to be a couple. She said you’d already have the pros figured out, but needed to be reminded of the cons. She wanted you to know she was just making sure you were sure before you both decided.”
I thought about it for a minute and wanted to get mad. This was so like her to send someone else to do her dirty work. I knew Harper was being a friend to both of us, so I settled back to find out why we shouldn’t date.
“Give it your best shot,” I said.
“She said I was to give you this.”
Harper held out her hand and I opened mine as she dropped her panties into it. Crud! Harper intently watched the road, but I saw her shoulders shaking slightly as she silently laughed at me. Two could play this game. I pulled them to my nose and took in a deep sniff.
“Gross!” Harper complained.
I waggled my eyebrows at her.
“Okay, that didn’t work,” she said, and then got serious. “How about this? You do realize how hard a long-distance relationship will be, and we aren’t talking just the next two years. If you two go to different colleges, there’s another four years. Tami will have medical school for four more years while you’re either in grad school, law school, or are off playing football in the NFL. After she’s done with medical school, she has her residency. Her residency could last anywhere from three to eight years. You could potentially be apart as long as eighteen years. Hell, you’re not even eighteen yet.
“I don’t want to open old wounds, but how was the last year?” she asked.
That was a cheap shot. I got quiet and just stared at the cornfields as we drove. Why the hell did I even bother? When she was finally done and ready to start her practice, she would be in her thirties. I was sure she would want to build that up. When would we ever have kids? I wanted children.
Tami had coached Harper well. She shut up and let me think. Intellectually I understood Tami’s goal to be a doctor was going to take time, and we might be apart for some or most of it. I guess I never understood how long it could take. The only answer I could come up with was if we loved each other enough, we could find a way to make it work.
Tami had the smarts and ambition to be a fine doctor. There was no way I would stop her from achieving that dream. I was also smart and ambitious. If we were together in our mid-30s, we’d be a power couple. We each would have to make sacrifices to get to that point. The question was, which one of us would have to bend to keep us together? The way Harper had laid it out, it seemed like an insurmountable obstacle for us to truly be together.
When we hit the suburbs of Chicago, I snapped out of my self-pity. I needed to be focused the next few days, and stewing about our decision wasn’t conducive to me having a good camp. Bo had warned me that last year the Elite 11’s MVP had gone to a camp the following week and the number 2 guy had cleaned his clock. Everyone would want to take me down this week. I couldn’t afford a letdown or a meltdown like Cadillac.
I also decided to take Tami’s advice. If something came along during camp, I’d go for it. The foursome I had last night was fun. I could check that off my list. I still couldn’t believe Hannah Minacci wasn’t calling me. I needed to have Lily up her efforts. I’d probably skip camp if she wanted to hook up.
