I shouldn't have done it. Or her, more specifically. I knew it, I took advantage, and did it. I am happy for how things turned out, mostly, but it was still wrong.
I was a senior in college, former president of my fraternity but now lived off campus in a small apartment. Claire was a freshman and roommate with Megan, who was a junior and president of our "Little Sister" program. Claire was homeschooled, barely 18, and cute in her innocence and looks. Megan was sort of butch but pretty when she wanted to be, a former lover of mine, and bisexual.
But now Megan informed me of the crush her new roomie had on me.
"John, you have to be gentle with her," Megan said. Ever since you helped me move in she has been talking about you. 'Oh, he's cute', He's dreamy,' 'He's sooooo funny...' I told her as president of the Li'l Sisses, there were rules...but, if YOU take her to YOUR place and fuck her silly, no one has to know."
"Meg, I don't know. She's cute, but a freshman. Mostly I don't want to sneak around, though," I said. There were rules to dating the Little Sisters, and they weren't tough. Mainly the Sisters were supposed to be friends and off limits. The program wasn't supposed to be a prostitution ring. However, their friends were fair game and fresh meat.
"I don't know. Sex complicates things," I said, setting off our prearranged commentary.
"It didn't affect us, did it, John?"
I met Meg at the Rec Center while playing racquetball. I barely beat her, walked her home, fucked her, and then found out she was gay. But she did like fucking me. Emotionally we could never be a dating couple, but did love each other. So, yeah, even though we were still good friends, our relationship was somewhat complicated.
"Well, even though we are perfect for each other, we still don't-"
"We have too much in common, John. Remember, we both like pussy too much," she would say. That would make me think about how she taught me how to be a cunnilingus master.
"I don't know..." I'd say, right before I gave in.
"So meet her for a meal. Don't have sex. If you like her, announce to me and The New Guy President that you want to 'date'. Then you are fine. It's ethical, Mister Boy Scout."
"Fine, what's her number?"

Claire and I met for supper at a local restaurant that was popular and quiet. We talked and had a great time. I really liked her. For an 18 year old, she had a brilliant mind and could talk at length on almost anything. She had brilliant blue eyes that sparkled when she spoke and her smile was genuine and kind. Her voice was like a songbird and I felt myself really wanting her. But not tonight. I had ethics. And character counts.
I walked her home and we held hands. When I got her to her dorm room, Megan was waiting for us. "Did you kids have fun?" she asked in her motherly yet stern voice.
"Yes'm," I joked. "And I had her home before 9pm, just like you said."
Claire chuckled. "He was a gentleman. He didn't even kiss me...yet," she said, and licked her lips and winked at me.
"Hmm, let me see, I left a...something around here," as Meg turned her back, allowing us a kiss in the hallway.
Claire had the softest lips, and even after dinner her lips tasted like berries. Her tongue darted into my mouth and they did a tango. I knew at that instant I was going to "declare" that we were dating. I HAD to have more of her!
That next weekend was Homecoming Week. Since I didn't live in the fraternity anymore I didn't participate in most of the activities- which was good because school took its toll that week. Claire was prohibited from more than 8 hours of floats and other activities that week because she was a first semester student. Meg was busy, but I didn't spend much time with Claire. Our big turn would be this Saturday.
We went to the football game together, tailgating before. My friends really liked her and teased her about dating an old man. After the game I dropped her off, promising to let her get ready and would pick her up in 2 hours and we would hit a few parties, and "see where the night took us." I think we both knew that answer.
Meg had called in that 2 hour window. "Dude, what are you two gonna do tonight?"
"I think we both have about the same idea," I said.
"She is a virgin. I helped her- I helped her pop her cherry, but she is still a virgin, so be gentle. Just like I was with you," she teased.
I was a little let down. A true vigin would have been nice, but also the first time is usually messy and sore and not a lot of fun. But at least the awkward part was done.
"Thanks for the intel, Meg. What are your plans?"
"If you take Claire back to your place, maybe I will get some pussy or dick- or both- and bring 'em here."
I shook my head. She was a big talker, but wouldn't do that. Would she?
"If she is open to it, we will come here," I said.
"Oh, she 'OPEN' to it, allright!" as she laughed and hung up.
**********************
Claire and I went to my fraternity's homecoming party. We danced, we had a couple of beers. She started slow dancing with me even though the song was fast, snd she whispered
into my ear, "Let's get out of here." Gladly I complied.
"Where to?" I asked.
"Let's walk by Swan Lake, and maybe head back to your place," she said, determination in her voice.
Swan Lake was a pond near central campus and it had a footbridge to an island. Legend says if you kiss your sweetheart at midnight on homecoming, you would live happily ever after together. I wasn't ready for THAT with Claire just yet. And it was barely 8pm.
But there is another more secluded part of the lake where people like to make out. That was less legendary and more scandalous...
We got close to the secluded spot and saw two other couples there, one having full blown sex and the other couple was she giving him a blowjob. Claire became a little nervous and squeezed my hand tightly and whispered, "I've heard about this going on here. Can we go back to your place?"
