This narrative follows from the events described in my first story "Rare Events," in which our college housemate protagonists experienced the rare beauty of a total eclipse, followed by an unexpected encounter—another rare event and a first. As before, all characters are of consenting age.
"I want to talk to you about the house rules, Kate."
She looked surprised.
"Do you think it's okay now to have sex with one of our housemates?"
The week after the eclipse, I'd found myself a little preoccupied with non-academic thoughts. After giving my sweet, naive housemate Dan his first sexual experience, I kept thinking how nice it would be to continue that dalliance. I liked the guy, had thoroughly enjoyed taking his virginity, and realized I was craving more regular sex. It seemed to me Dan could use some confidence-building, and who better than me to help him out? Of course, circumstances that day were special, and you can never tell how a sequel will turn out, but it seemed worth exploring. However, there were a couple of things weighing on my mind.
First, our house rules expressly forbade sexual fraternization with our guys. We four girls had been crystal clear when we let the extra rooms to Tom and Dan that they could not cross that line with us. We wanted no drama in the house! And it had worked for most of two years now.
I decided to open up to Kate about it; she was my closest friend at college. We'd been freshman roommates and hit it off from day one, more than once mistaken for sisters. She and I found the house together and collected the other two girls the end of our sophomore year, before we all voted to add the guys for that Fall. We were almost always of like minds, and now both headed to law school.
So, that's why, walking over to campus with her Thursday, I broached what I thought was the delicate subject of house rules. Her response shocked me. She stopped in her tracks and threw her hands up in the air.
"Shit!!! How did you find out? Who told you? Did Tom say something? I didn't think he would be an asshole about it!"
I stopped in my tracks, staring at her. After a few stunned seconds I burst out laughing.
"Wait, what??? Are you telling me you had sex with Tom? Are you
kidding
me!?! After all the times you've made fun of him and his girls?"
Tom was a bit of a player, with quite a string of women passing through the house over the past couple of years, having too noisy sex up in his room.
"I know, I know, I know...It was just one of those things."
Kate is plenty good at playing her own field—she's gorgeous—she didn't need to search under her own roof. Compared to me she may seem the demure femme, but I know her for the lusty woman she is.
"How did it
happen
, Kate? Come on, you've
got
to tell me this story."
Okay, but you must tell me how you found out."
"Fair."
"Jen, I mean, you know how stressed I was when I got put on the wait list for Yale Law. I couldn't sleep for days. One night late I'd taken a shower to relax, went down to the kitchen for a comfort snack. I didn't expect anyone to be up, I was just wearing a short nighty. Naturally, Tom came down in his boxers. I might as well have been naked, I suppose. You know how he is. We had a pleasant flirt, he's always fun, but of course he was looking at me like he does,
clearly
appreciating what was on display. He didn't even try to hide that I was giving him a boner; it started pushing his fly open and I could see half his dick. I thought it was funny but started getting horny watching. Figured that getting laid might help me sleep... so I just grabbed it and asked if he needed help. That's all it took; we were up in his room fucking in like, two minutes."
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh my god, Kate. You
are
as bad as me. How was it?"
"Well, I have to say, the guy's good with his tongue, not bad with his dick either. I had a few orgasms. He got his share of fun. After a couple of hours, I snuck back to my room. Fell dead asleep. And that was that."
"How many times since then?"
She laughed at that.
"None. Haven't wanted to push my luck. He hasn't been weird about it, but he always tells me his door is open. I didn't think he'd blab; he's never been one to brag."
"Does Leah know about this?"
Leah, one of our other housemates, and Kate had become close friends and spent a lot of time together. She had come out of the closet after sophomore year, and I already knew they had experimented a little, too.
"No!!! God, you know how she feels about Tom—pretty sure she'd be disgusted. But Jen! How did you find out? Who's he been telling?"
"I had no idea! I only found out when you told me just now!"
"What?? Then why did you ask? Wait! Don't tell me you fucked Tom too?"
We both laughed at that.
"No. Maybe worse? I had sex with Dan when we went up to see the eclipse."
"Dan!?! Are you serious? I've never even seen him with a girl. He hardly ever speaks to us. The most I've ever heard him talk was about the eclipse! To be honest I thought he was in the closet. He's so neat and clean! I love how he keeps the kitchen."
I had to laugh again.
"Well, he definitely seemed to enjoy what I did Monday."
"Okay, Jen. What the hell happened? Did he turn into a Tom when he had you to himself? Is he a Jekyll and Hyde kind of guy?"
I laughed.
"No. Pretty much the opposite. I'm afraid I played Hyde."
"You monster! Spill Jen."
"Well...I can't really explain it. Spur of the moment, same as you. I always thought he was kind of cute with his messy, curly hair, those nerd glasses. Watching the eclipse was exciting; it was weirdly visceral, my whole body reacted, insides clinched up. Really, you have to experience it to believe it. It was kind of a turn on. When it was over I was so excited I gave him a big, long hug.
That
affected him. By the time I let go I could feel he was getting aroused. He got all embarrassed. I thought it was kind of cute; decided to do it again. By then I was getting worked up too. When we got back to the car I kissed him. We made out a little and he was so...erect. He clearly didn't know what to do, so I just pulled out his dick before he could stop me and gave him a blow job. He has a nice dick..."
