*********************************
Sleep came easily to James that night. His dreams were filled with flashes of groaning flesh and ecstasy as the memories of the last week came back to him. Charlotte's face as she came on top of him. Julie peeling off her wet clothes in his bedroom. Izzy's mouth around his cock as Lauren groped her from behind. Oh yeah! It had been a good week.
He awoke the next morning full of energy and enthusiasm. The morning shift flew by in a blur of coffee, pizza and screaming children. Before he knew it, he was sat at The George with a pint. His phone buzzed in his pocket.
"1 New Picture Message" - Lauren
He remembered that Izzy was meeting Lauren for coffee. He recalled the last photo he'd received when those to were together. This was going to be good. He clicked open.
Mercifully, the WiFi in The George was much more up to the task. The photo downloaded almost instantly. He almost fell off his chair. Beaming off the screen directly into his long term memory was the image of Izzy's head rising from between a pair of supple thighs, her eyebrow arched as she stared seductively into the lens. 'Coffee went well then'
He looked down at his watch, 10 minutes till the start of his shift. He started to see off his pint while staring a hole in his phone. He almost felt left out. Despite not remembering a great deal of their night together, it was like watching the cup final from the bench. So close, but so far. He knew there was something more than just sex in this for Izzy, she really liked Lauren, and something told him that this was the start of something that he was going to very much enjoy.
He went to stand before realising how hard he had become staring directly into Izzy's eyes on his screen. Doing a quick scan around the pub to make sure nobody was watching, he quickly readjusted, tucking his cock into his waistline and pulling his shirt over the top of it to hide his now prominent helmet. He stood and quickly saw off the last of his pint, inadvertently leaning back to consume the dregs. He heard a wolf whistle as the last drops passed his lips. Thinking nothing of it, he headed for the exit.
****************************************
James tried to keep his head down at work that evening, he was desperate to finish to see if Izzy and Lauren fancied any company later. He'd messaged them both without reply. Not wanting to sound as desperate as he was, he decided not to chase them. He could tell how important it was to Izzy to explore today, and if him being a part of it would lead her to be more confused, it was probably for the best that he stay away. That didn't stop him from looking at his phone every 5 minutes to check though.
When his phone finally buzzed, he almost leapt across the room to grab it, it was as if his life depended on hearing from the girls.
"1 New Message" - Charlotte
He unfairly cursed his luck, before realising what a idiot he was being. He opened the message.
"Hey, I've got the morning off tomorrow, fancy a lie in? x"
'That's strange', James thought. Charlotte never struck him as the 'lie in' type. She was certainly pretty keen on getting things up last time. He sat and thought about how he should respond. Still holding on to the lingering hope of joining Izzy and Lauren, he contemplated turning her down, but deep down he realised it was a pipe dream, a school boy fantasy that he had been lucky enough to enjoy once. He shouldn't start getting ahead of himself. "Sure, that sounds great. Dress code? x" He clicked send.
His phone vibrated in his hand before he had the chance to put it back down.
"1 New Message" - Charlotte
"Cycling gear optional - but preferred ;) Bring wine! x"
That sounded more like Char. He had been genuinely looking forward to seeing her again before the events of the previous two days took her out of focus. He was keen to see how she'd reacted to their night together. Was she still intent on pursuing a 'no-strings' relationship? Was she just after sex? Did she want more from him than he was willing to give? Either way, he'd find out tonight. He grabbed a bottle of Pinot Grigio from the fridge and put it aside for later.
*********************************
James finished up his shift. Relatively quiet for a Friday, he was cleaned up and ready to lock up shortly after the last customer had departed. He checked his phone one last time before getting changed. Still nothing. 'Of course they're not going to be still going, Idiot! That pic came in before your shift started. They won't still be going at it now, will they? Will they?' He was genuinely intrigued. How long could they go on for if the mood took them? He pictured the two beauties cuddled together, exhausted, satisfied.
Snapping himself out of his daydream, he got his things together and locked up before retrieving his bike and heading the short distance to Char's flat.
When he was buzzed in, he made his way upstairs and once again through the Char's front door, left ajar for her late night rendezvous. He put his things down by the door, removing the bottle of wine, and made his way into the living room. "Hey Char, I've kept it as chilled as I...."
Charlotte was lying on her sofa, much like she was the first time he darkened this particular doorway, only this time rather than yoga pants and a sports bra, she was wearing a thick, fluffy, azure dressing gown. She was in the process of drying her hair as James walked in, tiny beads of water dripping down her neck and across her chest, James caught his breath as he watched one disappear down the canyon between her breasts. She looked incredible.
"Hi" she said, tilting her head to one side and smiling as she towelled her hair dry. "I'm sure the wine will be fine. Do me a favour and grab a couple of glasses from the kitchen for me will you?"
"Err, sure" James hesitated, straining to take his eyes off her as he retreated into the hallway. He grabbed a couple of glasses and headed back to the living room, where Charlotte had now made herself comfy on the sofa. She patted the cushion next to her, beckoning him to sit.
"Long night?" she asked as he poured her a glass.
"Long week!" he replied. "It feels like a lifetime since the last time I was here!"
"What's been happening? Giorgio's been busy?"
