Candlelight City

by Jessica Tang Von Harper

  Maddy gave Alfred a pleading look, as if begging him to intervene. But the look he gave back to her was filled with lust; he clearly wanted her to be naked almost as much as Suzie did. They continued to strip the shy girl, pulling Maddy’s Einstein shirt over her head and carelessly tossing it to the side. Maddy was breathing hard, her eyes darting between Louis and Marty as she sat in a lacy pink bra and panties. Suzie smiled to herself; somehow she had known that Maddy would be wearing pink underneath. But she and Alfred weren’t done. They pulled the straps of Maddy’s bra off her shoulders, and Alfred undid the clasp in the back. Maddy allowed them to pull her bra off and throw it away, although she shyly crossed her arms over her small breasts. Then they slid her panties down and off. Maddy was left naked, wearing only her glasses.

  Suzie leaned back, letting Maddy have a moment. The memory was fresh in her mind, that first time she had allowed herself to be naked in a room full of people. It had been in this same apartment, when she had stripped in front of Brad and his family. She remembered that initial rush of fear and embarrassment and arousal, that feeling of submission, the knowledge that she was taking the most private parts of her body and making them public, exposing herself for strangers to see. It was a thrilling mix of helplessness and power – the helplessness that came from abandoning the protection clothes offered and letting herself be viewed at her most vulnerable, and the power that came from defying the laws of society which said a woman must not allow herself to be naked in a public setting. As Maddy sat there, blushing and naked in full view of the boys, Suzie was able to experience that first time again, vicariously through the small girl beside her.

  Suzie tried to let Maddy have as long as she could to just sit there and experience being nude in a room full of people. But it ended up only being a little less than five minutes, because Suzie was feeling extremely horny and it was so hard to keep her hands off the naked girl sitting next to her. Suzie pressed her body against Maddy’s side, leaning in close to her. “Can I kiss you now?” she breathed.

  Maddy blinked behind her glasses. “Okay,” she said in a small voice.

  Suzie leaned forward, pressing her lips against Maddy’s. She let her tongue enter the girl’s mouth as she kissed her hungrily. Maddy emitted a muffled squeak, surprised by the intensity of the kiss. When Suzie pulled away, they were both breathing hard.

  Suzie looked Maddy in the eye. “Can I kiss your nipples?” she asked.

  Maddy looked stunned by the request, and didn’t answer at first. But Suzie waited patiently for a response. “O…Okay,” Maddy finally managed to say. Suzie grinned as she ducked her head and put her mouth on Maddy’s breasts.

  Maddy sat there blushing as Suzie licked and sucked on her nipples. The television was forgotten; all of the boys had their full attention on the two naked girls. Suzie had her eyes closed and was able to forget the boys, but Maddy was staring right at them and Suzie could tell she was embarrassed.

  Suzie lifted her head. “I want to kiss your pussy… can I?” Again, she waited for an answer as Maddy blushed. It delighted Suzie to have Maddy feel the embarrassment of having to answer her, to have to state out loud that she was agreeing to Suzie’s lewd requests.

  Maddy murmured something inaudible.

  “What was that?” Suzie asked.

  “Yes,” Maddy whispered.

  “Yes?”

  “Yes… you can… you can kiss my pussy…” Maddy trembled, but Suzie could tell it turned the shy girl on to speak the raunchy words.

  Suzie lowered herself to the floor in front of Maddy. Taking hold of Maddy’s knees, Suzie pulled the girl’s legs apart. She counted to twenty as she left Maddy’s legs wide apart, letting Maddy experience how it felt to have her vagina exposed for everyone to see. Then Suzie lowered her head and licked Maddy’s clitoris. Maddy moaned, her head falling back as Suzie used her tongue to explore the folds of the shy girl’s vagina.

  For a few minutes, Suzie moved up and down Maddy’s body, kissing and licking her bare skin. She would start at her vagina, kiss her way up to the mouth, then go back down to the vagina. Maddy really was a pretty girl; her small breasts were perky, and her pubic hair, although ungroomed, grew in a cute wispy triangle. She was svelte, and her skin was peppered with tiny dark freckles that made Suzie contemplate finding a pen and playing connect-the-dots on the girl’s naked body. Maddy mostly sat passively while Suzie kissed her, sometimes moaning in pleasure, sometimes blinking through her glasses as if she was certain the whole thing was some surreal dream.

  Finally, Suzie sat up, grinning and wiping the juice off her face. She glanced meaningfully at Alfred. “Maybe you should give your boyfriend a little attention,” she suggested with a sly smile. Maddy glanced at Alfred and smiled sheepishly. She leaned over and kissed him, and he eagerly embraced her, his hand squeezing her breast.

  Suzie stood and went back to Louis, straddling him. Louis was glad to have her back, and gleefully pressed his hands against her body. They kissed, and behind her Suzie could hear Maddy and Alfred also kissing. The television continued to play as Suzie sat naked on Louis’ lap and Maddy sat naked on Alfred’s lap. Suzie reached down Louis’ pants and found his erection; she watched his face as she squeezed and stroked his penis, enjoying the expressions of ecstasy she was producing.

  After a few minutes, Suzie glanced over her shoulder at Maddy. She was still feeling mischievous, so she slipped out of Louis’ embrace. She walked over to Maddy, and leaned over, pressing her hand against Alfred’s shoulder.

  “Your boyfriend is cute,” she told Maddy. “Can I try kissing him for a while?”

  Maddy glanced up, startled. It seemed as if she’d fallen into a haze where she was able to forget anyone else was around. “I guess so…” she said reluctantly. “But what about me?”

  Suzie grinned and waved at Louis and Marty. “You can try kissing one of the other boys.”

  Maddy looked shocked by the suggestion. She glanced between Louis and Marty, as if trying to grasp how she could offer herself to another boy, and in particular to a boy that she was friends with. But finally she climbed off of Alfred. Her nervousness had returned as she walked naked to stand in front of Marty. She stood, blushing, in a submissive pose, with her head down and her hands behind her back. Her naked body was clearly presented to him. “Marty?” she spoke in a whisper. “Um… would you like to kiss me? And touch my body? If you want to… you can.”

  Marty was visibly turned on by her words and her nakedness. But he hesitated, overwhelmed by what was being offered. “Maddy… I don’t know…” he stammered. “I’ve known you since the second grade!”

  Suzie took Maddy’s place on Alfred’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Second grade?” she called over. “Is this the first time you’ve seen her naked, then?”

  “Yes!” Marty stared at Maddy’s bare skin.

  “That’s not fair!” Suzie teased. “You barely knew me for five minutes before you made me get naked!”

  Marty’s mouth opened and closed. “I didn’t… that wasn’t…” He couldn’t get the words out.

  Suzie giggled and turned back to Alfred. She pressed her body against him and began to nibble on his ear. Although she could feel that his penis was hard, he seemed withdrawn, distracted by what Maddy was doing. He seemed reluctant to touch Suzie, and held her carefully, his hands lightly pressed against her sides in as inoffensive a manner as he could manage. It was that same stubborn loyalty he had shown before, an unwillingness to have Maddy see him showing interest in another girl.

  Suzie leaned in close to him. “if she sees you enjoying yourself, it’ll make it easier for her to enjoy herself,” she murmured in his ear. “Won’t it turn you on if she relaxes and gives herself to another guy? Have you ever seen another guy squeeze her breasts, or put his fingers in her pussy? It’ll make you so hard. Because you’ll know that she’s really doing it for you. She’s doing it so you can see how it looks when another guy’s rough hands are touching her soft body
.”

  Alfred’s penis throbbed in reaction to her words, but when he glanced over at Maddy, he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, shrinking away from Suzie. Suzie looked over her shoulder. Maddy was sitting awkwardly on Marty’s lap, and they were talking to each other in low voices. Marty was holding Maddy, but very carefully, as if she might burn him. Maddy glanced down at her own nakedness, and Marty’s embarrassed reluctance to touch her was making her self-conscious.

  Suzie decided she would have to show them how it was done. She reached down and undid Alfred’s zipper, pulling his penis free. Holding his shaft in her fingers, she maneuvered it between her legs until his penis head dented her labia. With a contented sigh, she settled her weight onto him, letting his penis push deep into her belly. Slowly, she lifted herself up, his penis almost to the point of sliding free, and then she lowered herself again, filling herself again. She moved up and down in his lap, having sex with him. Alfred’s eyes bulged in shock behind his glasses. He seemed astonished that a girl he had just met would so casually make love to him.

  As Suzie had foreseen, it was impossible for him to remain distant when he was inside her. His hands clutched her hips, and he moaned as pushed her onto his lap. Suzie put Maddy and Marty out of her mind, and simply focused on the sensation of making love to Alfred. It didn’t take long before Alfred’s strong hands on her waist were moving her up and down on his erection, and Suzie didn’t need to make any effort at all. She could close her eyes and let her body be moved up and down like a plaything.

  After a few minutes, Suzie snuck a peek at Maddy. She was gratified to see that Marty now had one hand digging between Maddy’s legs, and the other fiercely tugging on her nipple. Maddy was splayed in his lap, and she was staring at Alfred and Suzie. She almost seemed oblivious to what Marty was doing; it was clear that the sight of her boyfriend having sex with another woman was extremely exciting to her. She panted and pressed her hand over Marty’s, grinding his fingers between her legs. It was like she was using his hand to fulfill her need to masturbate.

  Pleased, Suzie turned back to Alfred. Now that she was aware that she had an audience, she couldn’t help but perform towards Maddy. Her instinct was to play up her weakness and helplessness, so that by contrast Alfred would seem stronger and more aggressive. She suspected Maddy would appreciate seeing her boyfriend display these traits. Suzie began to exaggerate her responses to Alfred’s strength. When he squeezed her breasts, she gasped and winced as if shocked by the power of his hands, and when he pushed her down onto his penis, she moved her body in the same direction to make it seem like she was powerless to resist the force of his thrusts. His hands were tight on her hips, and Suzie brought her hands there, pulling at his fingers as if fighting futilely to be free of his tight grip.

  Before long, Suzie felt Alfred’s rhythm become faster, and his breathing was quick and ragged. His penis throbbed inside her. Suzie threw her arms around him and clutched him tightly, forcing him to slow down. “Don’t you want to save it for her?” she whispered in his ear. He nodded with some reluctance, and Suzie disengaged herself from him.

  Her legs felt weak as she stood. Maddy was still on Marty’s lap, still being fingered by him, but now she looked longingly at her boyfriend. Suzie contemplated going back to Louis, but felt like doing something different instead.

  “Do you want to play a game?” she asked. “It’s a game I learned in rehearsal… an acting exercise really. Do you have any dollar bills?”

  She pulled Maddy up with her, and they began to play the posing game. They took turns taking dollars from the boys and posing in whichever way was requested. Maddy was shy, but a good sport, and although she blushed at some of the requests, she usually went ahead and did them. For Suzie, it was easier than it had been in school. The tech crew had seemed interested in pushing her limits, constantly coming up with more and more depraved poses. But Marty, Louis and Alfred were more polite, and more interested in poses that were sexy. It was like being a manikin; they were constantly tweaking the position of her body, moving her arm slightly this way, her leg slightly this way, looking for that perfect, sexy position.

  After a few turns, they changed the rules of the game. Now Suzie and Maddy were in competition for the dollars. One of the boys would suggest a pose, Suzie and Maddy would both do the pose, and then the boys would vote for whoever did the pose best. At first, the dollars seemed to go evenly between them, with the boys voting for one girl, then for the other. Suzie had the advantage of being less restrained, and tended to be more lewd than Maddy. If the pose asked for them to put their finger in their asshole, for example, Maddy would have one finger in up to the first knuckle, where Suzie would have two fingers shoved as far in as they could go. However, the boys sometimes found Maddy’s embarrassment to be sexy, and would vote for her for that reason. Maddy also had an advantage in that Alfred had a clear bias towards her, so gradually Maddy’s stack of dollars pulled ahead of Suzie’s stack.

  They were laughing, trying to understand some yoga pose that Alfred was suggesting, when the phone rang. “That’s probably the pizza guy!” Marty said. “You girls better hide in the kitchen…” Suzie hadn’t even known that anyone had ordered a pizza.

  “I have an idea.” Louis had a mischievous gleam in his eye. “What if Maddy answers the door naked?”

  Suzie was startled by this suggestion, and even more startled that the boys were so enthusiastically in favor of it. Maddy’s eyes were wide, and she was shaking her head in protest as the boys took her arms and pulled her towards the front door. They were laughing excitedly and joking. The atmosphere in the room crackled with sexual tension, and Suzie was concerned that the boys had become too comfortable with Maddy’s nakedness, forgetting it wasn’t commonplace for a girl to expose herself in front of strangers. Suzie would have gladly switched places with Maddy, and answered the door in the nude, but the boys seemed interested in having Maddy do it.

  Marty pushed a stack of crumpled dollars into Maddy’s hands, and then they left Maddy trembling naked in front of the door while they all rushed to the windows on either side of the doorway, peeking through the blinds. Suzie found a plush chair by the edge of the window and settled into it, leaning her face against the wall and peering through a hole in the blinds.

  The pizza man walked past the window, carrying a flat black bag in one hand. He was a squat middle-aged man, with ruddy skin and dark greasy hair. He had a thick black moustache and bushy eyebrows. He seemed to read the apartment number, then knocked on the door.

  For a moment, Maddy didn’t move, and Suzie hoped that the young girl would chicken out. All she had to do was retreat from the door, and then one of the boys would be forced to answer. But Maddy remained where she was, and when the pizza man knocked again, she reached down and clutched the door knob. She turned the knob slowly and eased the door wide. Naked and shivering, she stood staring at the strange man in front of her.

  The pizza man stared back, astonished to find a pretty naked girl in front of him. A giant grin bloomed on his face. “You order a pizza?” he asked, opening the bag and pulling out their pizza.

  Maddy was too frightened to speak. She nodded rapidly, and accepted the pizza box. The man’s eyes crawled up and down her body as she put the pizza on the table just inside the door. Maddy turned back to the man, and held out the wad of bills, her hand visibly shaking. She was being a good sport, and resisted covering herself even while the man blatantly leered at her body.

  The man gazed at her slyly as he took the money. “Thank you, honey. But what about my tip?”

  Maddy stammered, “There should be enough there…” But the pizza man chuckled. He reached out and his fingers closed around her wrist. He tugged Maddy out the door into the walkway then reached behind her to pull the door closed.

  “That’s not what I meant,” he murmured. He placed his hands on her hips, gripping them as he admired her body. One hand slid backwards onto her ass while the other slid up her body and palmed her l
eft breast. The man gazed at Maddy’s face, chuckling, and she met his eyes as if hypnotized, too stunned to break eye contact even as his hand slid between her legs and rubbed her vagina. The sun was setting on the horizon, drawing orange shapes on Maddy’s skin and glinting on her hair.

  Suzie watched from her hiding spot, powerless to look away from what was happening. Shouldn’t she intervene? This wasn’t Jenna, this wasn’t someone from Jenna’s world, this was a shy high school girl, and somehow Suzie had led her to this. Suzie had only intended to show Maddy how to feel free to experiment, yet now Maddy was standing naked outside with this delivery man’s dirty hands fondling her, and they all sat watching. None of them tried to stop it. Even Maddy’s boyfriend sat silently, watching wide-eyed through a crack in the blinds.

  The man roughly groped Maddy between her legs, pushing her knees apart and digging his fingers deep into her vagina. He grinned at her. “Wet, eh? I think you like to pay for your pizza like this.” Maddy blushed furiously and her eyes dropped. The man tangled his hand in her hair, kissing her neck and breasts as he pulled her head back. Maddy moaned. The man worked his way around her body until he stood at her back. With one hand, he undid his zipper and fished out his hard penis. He leaned forward, letting the scarlet head of his erection press against her hip. As if tracing a picture, the pizza man slid his erection across her ass, finally letting it rest in the dimple at the small of Maddy’s back

  Suzie watched, sitting perfectly still, ashamed that it was turning her on so much to see Maddy treated this way. Apparently, she wasn’t the only one; a boy’s hands groped at her legs, pulling them to the side and apart. Suzie didn’t look to see who it was. Louis, Marty, Alfred, it didn’t matter. Outside, the delivery man was pushing Maddy onto her hands and knees, kneeling behind her and guiding his penis into her glistening slit, and inside, Suzie felt herself being similarly penetrated; one of the boys, overcome with desire, his body pressing against her, his erection pushing into her. It felt like something Suzie deserved, she who had led Maddy to her fate outside, receiving the same fate inside.
