They left the mess in the guest room to be dealt with another time. The damage was done and, as the saying went, no use in crying over spilled milk. Despite the size of the house, locating the other's proved to be an easy task as everyone had gathered in the living room. Rachel moved to snuggle with Katerina wrapping her hands around the brunette's hand and making a soft, satisfied sound in the back of her throat. Samantha started to walk away, looking for a place to sit, when Katerina's free-hand grabbed her gently. Samantha took the hint and sat down beside the brunette. If anyone thought anything strange of the closeness, they kept it to themselves.
Rachel took a moment, just a moment to savor the scent of Katerina's cum on Samantha's skin. She felt a little miffed that she missed the action but from smell alone she could guess that Katerina had been thoroughly pleased. She looked around and it took only a moment to pair the smell in the room to the glossy, slightly red appearance of Samantha's mouth. Rachel smiled knowingly at the blonde and loved the shy blush she got in return.
"So." Sarah started before the words dried up on her tongue. She ran a hand through her hair and all around it seemed that no one knew quite how to start the conversation. Katerina's arms were crossed in front of her and she seemed intrigued by the fibers of the carpet. Jessica merely leaned her head back against the wall, eyes closed as if nothing bothered her despite the way she wiggled her foot. Samantha crossed one arm over her shoulder and scratched at her opposite shoulder not making eye contact with anyone.
"Yeah." Jessica added, tucking one leg beneath her bottom as her other leg hung over the edge of the bed.
Samantha, feeling her anxiety spike from curiosity, couldn't take it any longer. "Look, I know how long it takes guys to take a shower alone, so we don't have that long." Well, she had everyone's attention at least. "I get the feeling everyone is trying not to make it awkward but let's just get this over with." She looked toward the empty corner of the room as her cheeks burned, for the first time this night, from a negative feeling swimming within her. Katerina pulled her closer and offered a low purr and a half-smile.
"Right." Jessica put both of her feet on the floor but let her body rest against the edge of the bed. "Here it is: from what I understand, we are all thinking of some version of the same question and that's why we are meeting here."
"What are we doing?" Katerina asked, tightening her hold on Rachel and Samantha. "Where does this end, where is it going, what is the goal of this, with Owen?"
"Right." Jessica said again, her shoulders slumping ever so slightly. "We have all had a lot of fun tonight. It seems we have reached the point where we need to decide if this is just fun or if it's something more."
"More." Samantha said quickly. "It's not just fun for me." She looked around the room. "I'm his, completely." Samantha lifted Katerina's hand to her lips and placed a soft kiss on the skin. "But I'm not trying to keep him all to myself. Not anymore. I think, I know I started off tonight with that in mind." She looked around. "But, the fact is, I've given myself, my heart, to each of you, too. As long as you'll have me." Samantha was swarmed upon with kisses and hugs as Kat, Rachel, Jessica, and Sarah boisterously chased away Samantha's fear.
"I'm all in." Katerina said, looking at Rachel. "As long as you're okay with that." She said to Rachel.
"Of course." Rachel replied. "You think I would try to keep you from anyone you love as much as me?" She snuggled closer. "As long as you are being treated the way you should, I will share you with whomever you want." She kissed Katerina's lips.
Jessica chewed her lip in thought.
"I'm in." Sarah added. "It's not going to be easy, but I think we are all close enough that it won't be a matter of waiting for him to show us love. We love each other." She flexed her toes thinking about how best to word her thoughts. "Believe it or not, I can't wait to ... love some of you again." She winked and blew a sloppy kiss to the room.
Jessica nodded as if she'd reached a conclusion. "Alright, so, we are all in on this, but there is another question." Now, she was met with a room of blank stares. She rolled her eyes. "What if we get pregnant?" This earned her some thoughtful looks but nothing remotely close to panic. She was glad everyone seemed resolved but she needed some more involvement. "Kat?"
"Meow." Katerina replied, pulling Rachel and Samantha closer, snuggling beneath them like blankets. She purred playfully licking Samantha's cheek.
"Blegh!" Samantha giggled, pushing Katerina away.
"Tell me about it." Rachel laughed.
"Katerina." Jessica's voice was a staccato blast. She softened, sighing. "The best case scenario: Owen would have to move to a place where you two aren't known to be brother and sister." She'd planned on voicing concerns about the potential dangers of having your brother's baby; genetics, disabilities, potential social stigma. but she felt saying the words were too cruel.
"Then we can move." Katerina replied.
Rachel tensed beside the brunette. She'd been with Katerina long enough to recognize the tension in Katerina's shoulders, the pinched appearance of her lips, the way she refused to look around. Rachel's heart broke for Katerina and the struggle she felt.
Jessica nodded and backed off from the topic. "Is this really what we want to do?" Jessica She made eye-contact with each of the girls in the room in turn. "You each, really need to think about that. This is a big thing to commit to. A big thing to be a part of." As she scanned the room she was met with firm resolve. Each young woman seemed to have decided within herself that the life they wanted was worth the trouble they may face. The love they had, the acceptance they extended to her dragged tears from her eyes.
Samantha moved to Jessica and swept the tears from her cheeks. "Jessica," she implored, "it's going to be okay. We will make it okay."
"I know," the girl began, 'But-"
"But you're afraid and that's okay, too." The blonde wrapped her arms around the redhead pulling her close until nothing was between their skin. "I'm sure we are all afraid, but," she tilted Jessica's face until the girl was looking into her eyes, "having you all beside me makes me feel stronger. And we," she indicated the room of beautiful, hopeful women, "are all here for you, too."
Jessica melted into the blonde and didn't feel silly as soft lips caressed her cheek. She cried at the fear she'd felt since the games began. She cried for the love she'd thought she'd never have. She cried for that same love, now wrapped tightly around her, nurturing her back to life. She placed her own kiss on Samantha's shoulder and thanked her stars that she'd made such wonderful friends.
Tears fell faster from stunning green eyes as more bodies pressed against her own. The naked flesh of her friends pressed against her body didn't bother her in the slightest. She couldn't care less about the smells or the sweat of the bodies, she smiled and absorbed the warmth of the bodies around her. It no longer mattered. What did matter was: she was finally home.
Jessica's tears were kissed dry, but still the group held on to one another offering everything they had to one another. They stayed together in contented silence embracing one another. The sound of the shower shutting off was, at that moment, no big deal until there was a strong vibration in the bed.
"Does this mean we can start the last round soon?" Rachel detangled herself from the others and drew her knees up to her chest flashing her cute bottom to the room without reservations. Her eyes were wide with what could only be called Christmas morning excitement.
Katerina giggled against her lover. "Oh, are you getting that feeling again? A little itch you need scratched?" She kissed the column of Rachel's neck earning delighted shivers from beneath the spill of black hair.
"Do we have another game?" Sarah asked.
Rachel gasped like the idea of not having a game was unthinkable. "Of course!" She beamed. "I made it up myself!"
Sarah smiled. "Then, I don't see why we couldn't play it."
"I'm glad this is turning to a more positive note, but do we have anything else that needs to be addressed before we move on?" Jessica asked nervously.
