Lily took another few breaths with her eyes still closed, trying to control her heart rate, as she wondered if she should just lay down now so Freya could get the biting part over. However, then Freya sat beside her on the bed, wrapped her arm around Lily’s heated shoulders, and rested something on top of her clasped hands.
Lily looked down in surprise, focusing on the small pink box with a red ribbon and bow.
“What’s this?” she asked, completely confused.
“You forgot that tomorrow is our friendiversary?” Freya asked playfully.
“Oh, crap. I’m so sorry Freya.”
She shook her head, grinning widely. “I knew it probably wasn’t on your mind, and this way I get to really surprise you.”
“Yeah, I’d say,” Lily agreed, smiling at her as she opened the box. “But you know, technically we were friends before you officially asked if we could be friends.”
Freya rolled her eyes. “Oh, I know. But it’s difficult to determine exactly when we became friends. After all, you were only fourteen when we met.”
“Creeper,” Lily teased.
Freya scowled playfully at her. “You know that me being obsessed with someone doesn’t necessarily mean I’m romantically or sexually attracted to them. Plus, you’re a girl. I was honestly surprised the day, years later, when I realized I loved you in that way.”
Lily smiled slightly as she revealed her gift. A pair of pink sapphire earrings that matched her engagement necklace perfectly, the stones a vibrant purple. Her smile widened.
“I love them,” she whispered.
Freya kissed her on the cheek, holding Lily snugly against her. “I know you were always hesitant to get your ears pierced, since your superpower could melt most jewelry anyway, and you didn’t think you’d want to keep earrings in your ears often enough to prevent them from eventually closing up. Not to mention the stress of just knowing you could accidentally melt them. But I figured that since you seem to have a much higher pain tolerance now, that you might be okay with trying them out.” She paused. “The only problem is you’ll still have the same issue of the holes closing up, and it’ll happen a lot faster now.”
Lily nodded. “But it shouldn’t hurt as much. Definitely not as much as you biting me.”
“Sorry,” Freya whispered, sounding sincere.
Lily shook her head, leaning more into her. “No, it’s alright. I’ve pretty much accepted that it’s going to be a regular part of our lives now.”
She didn’t respond.
Lily held up the pretty earrings to look at them. “Want to help me get these in?” she wondered.
Freya smiled warmly. “Yep.”
“And then after that, you can bite me, so we can get that part over with.”
Freya looked at her in shock.
Now Lily felt confused for a moment, before it dawned on her. “Oh, you didn’t plan on…” She paused when she saw desire creep into her best friend’s crimson eyes, realizing she’d just unintentionally made the offer, with her friend knowing she wouldn’t back down from it.
Crap.

April 26, 2735 – Current Day – Early Evening
Lexi and I ended up taking the day off on Friday after all, having quite a bit of flexibility due to everything that happened in the last month. Not to mention, I was supposed to gain access to my evaluation tomorrow, so there was no way I wasn’t going to go in, likely doing some work while I waited impatiently.
But with Friday off, we spent a good portion of the day hanging out at the only two dealers in the area that sold the type of cars Lexi was wanting to purchase. In the end, she was still stuck on getting a Ferrari, ultimately picking out a sky-blue one as her final choice.
Even though I’d considered going with less ostentatious colors, I figured it didn’t matter as much now that the most pressing threats were gone.
Lexi was wearing fashionable sunglasses and had her hair pulled up in a high ponytail all day, so surprisingly no one seemed to recognize her. At least, not until they wanted to get the loan paperwork started, and she handed them a card to pay in full – something the insurance money would have allowed her to do even if she wasn’t already rich.
The finance guy helping us went initially from disbelief, to shock when he realized she was completely serious, to then flat-out flabbergasted when he realized who was buying. Kind of went all fanboy on her, prompting her to promise an autograph if he’d keep it down.
Shit, even with Lexi hanging on me suggestively, he barely even noticed I was there after that.
Oh well.
Didn’t really matter a ton to me anyway. At the very least, he was respectful, and we didn’t have to worry about him making too big of a scene, since I knew the CDS would shut down anything if the guy posted something online that drew too much attention to her.
It was still crazy to think about the kind of censorship authority they wielded.
Once we got back home, I hung out for a little bit until Heidi was ready to go. We didn’t really have anything in particular planned out, since she’d never mentioned a specific movie or anything, but I figured we’d decide on what we were going to do once we got away from the house. However, after a good twenty minutes, I discovered from Freya that the hang-up was her being really indecisive about her clothing choice. Apparently, she didn’t want to wear the same stuff as last time, but felt like she didn’t have anything ‘nice’ enough for our date.
I had no idea what that meant, considering Heidi had a ton of nice clothing.
However, when she finally came down the stairs wearing the same black leather pants, coupled with a bright red long-sleeve top that showed off half of her smooth belly, a shirt I’d once seen Lexi wear, it finally dawned on me that Heidi was aiming for ‘sexy,’ not just ‘nice.’
And holy shit, was she hot!
The deep V-neck of the shirt showed off an arousing amount of cleavage, yet somehow had the feel of being an appropriate amount of fabric due to the long sleeves. And the whole thing was fitted, wrapping snuggly around her thin waist. She even had a hint of the shiny straps to a red thong showing on her hips. She was also wearing a delicate gold necklace, with the combination making the lavender color of her eyes really pop. Just the black, red, and gold, including her blonde hair, contrasted sharply with all the pale skin she was showing off on her belly and chest – it all made her lavender gaze seem bright.
Lily then really made her blush when she teased Heidi by suggesting she looked so good that she was about to kidnap her and take her out on a date instead.
I knew Lily was just kidding, but holy shit was it difficult not to get aroused by that idea, especially when seeing Heidi’s cute embarrassed reaction to it. Not to mention, I already knew from Freya that Lily at least theoretically wanted to watch me and Heidi in action one day.
Maybe I needed to do a double date after all, except with Lily and Heidi, so they could get more comfortable with just the three of us being alone and hanging out together.
Once Heidi and I were in my green Mustang, with me trying not to be distracted by her sitting with her hands tucked between her leather-clad thighs – her arms covered in red sleeves, while her creamy upper chest was plainly visible for me to see – I began thinking about the conversation Lexi and I had a few days ago.
Specifically, the conversation that resulted in us jumping straight to third base in her office.
I cleared my throat.
“Hey, so kind of a weird question. But do you want me to take this dating stuff slow with you?”
Heidi immediately looked up at me in alarm, only for her face to flush so red it almost matched her shirt. And her thong.
Shit, now that she was sitting down, I could really see the straps from this angle, snug against her hips.
I quickly tried to recover. “Sorry. I didn’t mean anything by that. I’m fine with just going on normal dates and such. I just wanted to make sure it was what you we
re wanting, rather than assuming.”
She still didn’t respond, her arms trembling slightly as she hid her face behind a curtain of her blonde hair, her chin down.
“So ,” I continued with a more lighthearted tone, trying to change subjects. “What do you want to do tonight for our date? Did you have dinner yet? Or want to go to a park and just walk around? Maybe get some ice cream cones and hold hands while we go for a stroll? I’m fine with whatever.”
She shook her head, still keeping her eyes hidden. “You can pick,” she squeaked.
I sighed. “Hey, I’m sorry for making you flustered. I won’t bring it up again.”
She shook her head a second time, taking a deep breath. After a moment, she finally looked up at me, her face still red. “I…” She took a deep breath, trying to gather herself. “I want to talk about this. It’s just…really awkward…”
I considered that for a moment.
“Here,” I replied gently. “Why don’t we just take a step back, and make it more fun. Talk about hypothetical stuff. Nothing serious. Like, don’t even think about you and me. We’ll talk about different people.” I paused when she nodded. “And I’ll even name them. Let’s talk about Richard and Cherry.”
Heidi burst out laughing at that, her demeanor shifting instantly.
“Shit, Sam,” she giggled. “I feel bad for those two. I mean, they’re the perfect pair, but damn.”
I grinned. “They are the perfect pair,” I agreed. “So, let’s talk about them. What do you think Cherry wants?”
Heidi took a deep breath, her face still all smiles. She then tucked some of her blonde hair behind her bright pink ear, before returning her hand to between her thighs. It was only then that I realized she had put in four diamond studs in her ears, three at the top and one on the earlobe, but left her snake-bites and nose piercing out. Of course, there were no signs on her face that the piercings had ever existed.
Finally, after a moment of thought, she responded.
“Hmm. Well, see I think Cherry would be pretty nervous, because she’s never been popped before.” She grinned at her own joke. “Really, never even been an ‘ice cream topping,’ never been tasted, or even been out of the jar at all, to be honest.”
I smirked at her, prompting her to grin even wider in response. “Okay, so what would Cherry want Richard to do, hypothetically? And we’re really just talking about Cherry and Richard here. Sounds like the poor souls are really in a predicament.”
Heidi frowned with a playful intensity. “Yeah. Seems that way.” She paused. “I think what Cherry would really want is for Richard to just kind of, you know, do what he wanted with her. Cherry would probably be really nervous. Like, really nervous. But she wouldn’t want Richard to stop. She’d want him to take control. Do his thing, and pop that cherry real good.”
Now I laughed, prompting her to burst out giggling again too.
After a few seconds, once she had herself under control again, I continued. “So let’s talk about Richard then. What kind of Richard does Cherry want?”
Now she looked at me in confusion.
I quickly clarified. “Like, do you think Cherry is interested in a ‘really sweet and take it slow’ Richard? Or more of a demanding one. How would you describe the kind of Richard that Cherry wants?”
She didn’t laugh this time, and I suspected that she was beginning to think too much about it again. About us being these hypothetical people. She still answered though.
“Umm. Well, I think, umm, Cherry would probably like really demanding, but also gentle. If that makes sense.”
“Yeah,” I agreed, keeping my tone super lighthearted. “I think it makes sense. Sounds like Cherry wants Richard to take control, and even be a little controlling , but not in an unsafe way. Like, be demanding, but not mean. Maybe a little aggressive, but not rough. Think that’s right?”
Heidi gulped, struggling to respond. “Umm, yeah. T-That’s exactly right.”
Dammit, I was really trying to figure out a way to keep this less personal, and more lighthearted, but I couldn’t think of how for the life of me, and I still had one more question.
“What about location?” I wondered, again trying to keep my tone as lighthearted as possible. “Like, you think Cherry wants to be in the jar, or on some ice cream, or does it even matter? Is random better? Or is there a good spot?”
Heidi finally cracked a small smile again. “Random. Definitely. More random, the better.”
I smirked again. “Well that was fun,” I said in a playful tone. “So what do you want to do for our date? Or did you want to talk about Cherry and Richard more? I mean, we can’t expect Richard to know what Cherry wants, so probably important if Cherry makes it clear what she wants.”
Heidi shook her head, seeming more at ease now since I’d mentioned the more casual topic of our date. “Nah, that’s pretty much it. Don’t think Cherry will ever feel ready. Probably best if Richard just decides he’s going to do it, and do it. Cherry will be super nervous, but she still wants it. She also won’t really know what to do, so best if he tells her what to do.”
“Demanding, controlling, but also gentle, right?” I clarified.
Heidi nodded once, her hands tight between her thighs.
I changed subjects again. “So, you never did say if you had dinner or not.”
“I’m not really hungry,” she admitted. “Though I could do dessert.” She looked up at me, her lavender eyes endearing. “I really like random, so it’s more fun if you just decide what we’re going to do.”
“Sure you won’t be bored?” I teased. “I’m not sure I’m very creative.”
Heidi grinned. “I don’t care. Boring is fine. But the suspense of not knowing what we’re going to do is really fun. Even if it’s something we’ve done before. Just a walk is fine too, as long as I don’t know what we’re doing beforehand.”
I nodded, already having a destination in mind at this point. We were both silent for a few minutes, until I made a turn.
“So, where we going?” she asked.
I grinned at her. “I can’t tell you, silly. You just said you wanted random.”
“Still fun to ask,” she teased.
I nodded in response, smiling just a little. “Well, we’re almost there, so you’ll see soon.”
I didn’t want to ruin the date, in case she didn’t like what I had in mind, so I actually had two separate ideas planned out. Both of them required me driving to the same location. Once I pulled onto a road completely shaded by trees on both sides, she started getting confused.
“There’s a trail down this way,” I reassured her. “No official parking lot though. People usually pull off on the sides of the road to unload their bikes, or just to stop so they can walk on one of the trails.”
Heidi nodded, focusing on one of the gravel spots off the side of the road where a couple of cars could park. “It’s not too rough of a trail, is it? Not sure I’m dressed the best for some serious hiking.”
“Nah, it’ll be okay,” I replied, finally slowing down to pull into a lone spot where only one car could fit. I then put it in Park, and turned toward her. “However, I wasn’t really planning on leaving the car to begin with.”
Heidi’s lavender eyes widened in shock, her face flushing again, her arms trembling, all while she continued to hold my gaze. “Y-You mean…” She suddenly wasn’t able to speak, as she tried to swallow, her breathing picking up more.
I reached over then, gently resting my hand on her shoulder as I cupped her face with the other, pulling her towards me. She sucked in a sharp breath through her nose as our lips touched, before slowly working up the courage to slip her tongue into my mouth.
After all, this wasn’t the first time we’d kissed, though she was still really nervous.
However, this time I began exploring with my hands more, wrapping my right arm around her while using my left to feel her leather pants taut over her thighs. I then reached higher to feel her silky smooth sk
in on her belly. When her body only became more tense, the trembling picking up, I grabbed for her hands still in between her thighs and guided one of them underneath my shirt, all while our lips remained locked.
She finally worked up the courage to feel my stomach, and then reached up to feel my chest, moaning as she did so. In response, I returned my hand to cup her face briefly before slowly tracing my fingers down her neck, running them along her collar bone, and then slipping down her shirt.
She really liked that.
And I quickly realized she loved it when I squeezed firmly, her breathing so heavy now that she was almost unable to kiss anymore. Thus I broke away a little and started kissing her cheek, followed by her jaw, only to travel down her neck while she attempted to catch her breath.
“C-Can I have a h-hickey?” she stuttered.
I grinned against her smooth skin, before sucking gently.
“Uhh!” she moaned. “Oh, shit, yes.”
I didn’t want to give her any more that would be visible, so I moved lower and began sucking on spots around her upper chest, knowing normal shirts would hide them, not that she would have them long anyway. She was grasping my head now, running her fingers through my hair while I sucked.
Deciding to go a little further, I reached down and unbuttoned her pants with one hand, not hesitating to ease my fingers inside to feel the front of the red silk thong she was wearing. She moaned and even began whimpering as I began feeling around, teasing her by only brushing against her most sensitive spots for barely a second at a time.
Finally, when I felt like she was more than warmed up enough, I pulled away with a grin.
She looked at me in confusion again, both her face and chest having a reddish hue now.
“Time for the backseat,” I said, my tone a little firm.
She gulped, her lavender eyes wide.
“Backseat,” I repeated more firmly.
Her trembling picked up again as she tried to do as I asked, seeming to struggle to make her arms and legs work like she wanted. A car drove past then, but I wasn’t worried about it. My windows were darkly tinted, and no one else would be stopping in this location, since there was only one spot to pull off.
