Chapter: 1
In the summer of '96 I was on a mission to seduce my friend's girlfriend. I know, I'm an asshole, but wait until you've heard the whole story. It's not as bad as it sounds. It's all about context. Okay, so my name is Liam, and at the time I was nineteen years old. Just a year out of High School. I really shouldn't have been trying to seduce anyone. I had negative game. I was shy and easily embarrassed, not much of a talker and my experience with girls consisted of a yearlong relationship with a freshmen girl during my senior year. We had done some heavy petting and some fully clothed grinding in that time so you could say I was a bit of a late bloomer, and a slow mover. It's not like I had looks going for me either. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not ugly, just average, I guess. Of everyone in my family, I got all the Scottish genes. I'm 5'6" and 120lbs skinny, with red hair, blue eyes, and pale skin that burns in the time it takes to dash out to the curb to check the mail and get back inside. I look a lot like Seth Green.
The one thing I had going for me was my rock band. Every small town has one, and I was the bass player. The friend in this tale was the lead singer, Alfred. We mostly just called him ALF. If you're not familiar with rock band hierarchies, it goes like this; lead singers are at the top. They get the first pick of all the girls. They have the mic, everyone's looking at them most of the time because they're delivering the message of the songs. Next are the guitar players. Not much to say there. Guitars are just cool, and they get to solo which brings the focus to them for a decent portion of every song. Then comes the drummer. There's always a bad boy mystique that precedes them and they're physical, just banging away on stuff all the time. At the bottom is the bass player. He gets last pick, last attention if any at all. The butt of all jokes. This brings us back to ALF at the top of the band hierarchy, and he had Jade.
Jade had the most amazing green eyes I'd ever seen. Cheerleading and swim team had given her a subtle hourglass figure, hips, waist, and the perkiest set of B-cups you could ask for. This girl was a sexy young teen and she knew it. She was playful and flirty with everyone and it came off as a genuine part of her personality without seeming inappropriate. ALF, on the other hand, was a dark intellectual, born into a half Catholic, half Jewish family (that makes him Jew-ish, the joke never got old), he abhorred all religion and saw it as a crutch for the week minded. He had little patience for people he deemed idiotic. His high IQ comparatively put most people in that category anyway, and you usually only got one chance to prove yourself. Things had gotten a little weird in the short time since Alfred and Jade had graduated. We were starting to get the feeling that Jade was slipping into that category in ALF's mind. A hot body only goes so far, I guess. Looking back, it should have occurred to us that the ex-cheerleader and the future physics professor had nothing but swimming in common. They had always fought about everything, just to turn right back around, make up, and then fight again.
That summer I was six months post break-up with my (one and only) long term girlfriend and was feeling a bit jealous of Alfred's relationship. One night, my roommate/guitarist Lee and I were hanging out at Jade's house with her and ALF. The heat of the day lay over the town like a heavy blanket even after the sun went down. We had opened all the doors and windows trying to get some air flow. The four of us were just hanging out watching movies and enjoying one of those weekend summer nights of youth you hear about in all the songs. Jade was trying to keep the mood light in her usual way, but ALF was a brooding presence in the room. Lee was stretched out on the floor where he could get his 6'3" frame comfortable for watching the movie. By "frame" I mean door frame. He was a solid ogre of a man that took up a whole doorway. I had taken the love seat for my small ass, leaving room for the couple on the couch to my left, directly in front of the television.
Jade, not all that concerned with PDA, was trying to get ALF to make out with her but couldn't draw his attention from the movie. They were laid out on the couch with him behind her, one arm over her and the other supporting his head on the arm of the couch. It started with her tilting her head back to place little pecks on his neck. When that didn't work, she tried moving his hand to her breast and leaving it there to see what he would do. After a second ALF moved it right back to just hanging over her side, lightly touching her stomach. I was taking this all in, trying to be subtle while splitting my attention between the screen and the lithe goddess weaving her erotic spell just a couple feet from me. To be honest I had a little crush on her. Nothing serious, I mean she was dating my friend, but there's no harm in looking or joining in on a little mutual flirting from time to time, right? As ALF moved his hand away, I could clearly see by the light of the television that her nipples were erect. Jade arched her back and slid an arm behind her to undue Alfred's top button to get a hold of his pierced pole. (Yes, we all knew about the cock piercing he got. On stage he liked to turn his back to the crowd, whip it out and click the bar on his mic, a sight our drummer never wanted.) She started moving her hand in a back and forth motion when he finally reacted.
"What the Fuck, Jade!"
Alfred's outburst broke into the room drowning out the action scene on the television. He pushed Jade on to the floor, barely missing Lee, as he buttoned up his shorts. She immediately started crying as we all looked at her.
"You're always doing this shit!" he continued berating her, getting up from the couch and shoving a finger accusingly in her face. "I can never just enjoy myself because you're all over me! Can't you just for one, mother, fucking, minute chill the fuck out? God damn it! I'm happy to fuck your brains out when we're alone but I've told you a hundred times, 'when we're around people, keep your hands to yourself'"
Jade's lip was quivering as she meekly responded, "I'm sorry Alfie, I, I just love you and love touching you and feeling your touch. I thought since we're in a dark room around good friends and the movie is loud and everything...we could just..." she trailed off, her eyes dropping to the floor.
ALF was unphased. "You thought." he huffed to himself. "You're incapable of rational thought; you dumb slut." He turned on her again. If you had been handed even half the brains you got in looks, this might have worked. I can't do this anymore. I'm done. We're done." Without waiting for a response, he stormed out the open front door, the screen slamming shut behind him.
Jade was left shaken and sobbing on the floor while Lee and I were left awkwardly witnessing the destruction ALF had left. Alfred's abhorrence of PDA of any kind was well-known, but this had to have been building for some time.
Lee was the first to try to break the ice. "Shit Jade, I'm sorry he can be such a dick sometimes. I'm sure he'll be back once he cools off."
"No" she replied, wiping tears away from her cheeks. "In all our fights, he has never said we were done. You know him. When he makes up his mind on something, there is no turning back."
Trying to figure out the best thing to do for the situation I spoke up. "Jade, we can leave if you want to be alone. God, I'm so sorry he treats you like this."
She half laughed and sniffed her running nose. "Thanks, but no, I'd rather be with friends right now." Then she realized the awkwardness of the situation. "Oh god guys, you've all been friends and band mates longer than I've known him and I'm just the stupid girlfriend that's been hanging around for the last year. I don't want to cause any drama in the band, maybe you should follow him, so he doesn't think you're taking my side or anything."
I couldn't help but let out a little uncomfortable laugh. "Wow, he's really beaten you down, verbally hasn't he? Don't worry about us. Guys are different. Even if he gets mad at us for staying, we'll fight and get over it and end up busting his balls about something. Everything will go back to normal. If you want friends around, we're staying." I looked to Lee for support, and he shot back a look that I'd seen a hundred times that communicated, 'this is why you spent all of high school friend zoned'.
He quickly covered for me, however. "Yeah, I guess we can stay for a while if that's what you want."
The old Jade seemed to break through the pain of what had just happened. "Thank you, guys, so much for staying. You're such good friends. We're not going to let that dick ruin our night."
With that she started getting the next movie ready. I hadn't even noticed when the other one had stopped. What I did notice were those legs, going all the way up into the short shorts painted on her ass. The butterfly tramp stamp on her lower back. (Was it even cliché yet back then?) I also noticed the one strap of her tank top that had fallen off one shoulder, giving me a better view of her black bra. It didn't take me long to take it all in, but long enough that when I snapped out of it and looked over at Lee, he was giving me a disappointed look. I just shrugged and turned to sit down. We all got settled back into our places with Lee a couple feet in front of the main couch laying perpendicular to it. Jade took her spot on one far cushion and I took the other side, figuring it would be a better view than the love seat off to the right where I had been sitting. Admittedly this also put me on the same couch as Jade. As the movie started, I saw Jade rubbing at her shoulder and neck.
"Are you okay?" I whispered.
"Yeah, just a little sore from being thrown to the floor, I'll be fine." She replied.
Part way through the movie, Lee fell asleep and Jade got more comfortable by taking up more of the couch and stretching out. She put her feet in my lap and looked at me to see if I minded. I tried to send back the coolest of all nonchalant smiles as if to say, 'yeah babe, It's no big deal'. What I felt was 'oh my god her feet are in your lap, don't get hard!' After what seemed like ages to my nineteen-year-old virgin mind, I got up the courage to put my hands on her feet and start rubbing. The response I got gave me an instant erection. There was a deep thrumming in her throat that sounded like she was purring. Those young thick nipples were making their presence known again but this time I was responsible. We returned to watching the movie as I took my time on each foot. Now that I had the affirmative response I was looking for, I started on my routine. (Being in the friend zone with every girl you've been interested in for all of Jr. High and Sr. High gives you a lot of practice.) I looked over to see if she was enjoying my technique. Her head was slightly back, and her eyes were kind of fluttering and half closed, her breathing had slowed and was a little heavier. I quietly chuckled to myself, giving myself a mental pat on the back. She lowered her head back down at me and we locked eyes.
"Oh. My. God." She mouthed, those green eyes wide with something in them that could have been, 'I can't believe how good that feels.', or 'come fuck me'. I wasn't sure. I had started on her other foot through our long stare, her breathing becoming more labored. Finally, she closed her eyes and dropped her head to the arm of the couch slightly adjusting her pelvis as if to try to find a more comfortable position. I realized that this was becoming more personal than a friendly foot rub and I was torn with what I should do. Should I be a good friend both to her and ALF and just stop this right now, wake Lee and have him drive us back to our apartment?
'No' I thought. 'That's how you stay in the friend zone, grow old, and die alone, you pussy. On the other hand, you are just comforting a friend on the night that her boyfriend dumped her.' My shoulder demon argued. 'Bullshit, you're trying to get laid' the angel on my other shoulder countered.
I looked over to Jade and she was laying on her back with her head turned to the screen, watching the movie. She had a hand through the arm hole of her tank and on top of her bra while absently rubbing a nipple. I was done with her other foot at this point, just generally rubbing her calves. She looked over, smiled, and curling her feet under her, turned around to put her head on my lap. This left me with my arms up in the air, giving her room, and a little shocked.
Jade looked up at me and asked this time, "You don't mind, do you?"
"Not at all. Make yourself comfortable." I replied. Now I had a decision to make. Where do I put my hands? 'Fuck it.' Both of my shoulder angels said in unison.
One hand went to her head, gently stroking her auburn hair. The other hand went to the dip between her hip and her rib cage. Jade was using my thigh as a pillow with her hands wrapped around my leg. Her tank top was form fitting and short, being pulled up with her arms, giving me bare skin under my hand. I was already absent mindedly moving my fingers back and forth and in circles over her soft skin as we watched the movie. I could stay like this all night if she'd let me. It was a perfect moment, and I didn't want it to stop. Even more I didn't want to screw it up by misreading the situation, trying to take it further, only to fail. I think Jade was thinking the same thing as I felt all tension leave her body and she relaxed into our new position. We continued watching the movie for a while just enjoying each other's company until she slowly moved her top arm back, grabbed my hand from her waist, and brought it to rest on her chest right between her pert breasts, her hand on top of mine. I could feel her heart beating faster than it should be for the apparent relaxed atmosphere. There was no more doubt in my mind. Whatever the amount of trepidation there may be in her mind, she was trying to walk my dumb ass through something that was more than friends on a couch.
Lacing our fingers together, I brought our hands up to my mouth and kissed the back of her hand. I kept kissing, long and slow passionate kisses all over her hand. There was no way for her to misread my intentions now. I turned her hand over and started kissing and licking down the soft skin of the inside of her arm starting with her wrist until I got to the elbow. It was as far as I could go in that position. It turned out I didn't have to worry about that. Rising, she turned around, and throwing one leg over, straddled me. Jade put her arms on my shoulders and locked her hands behind, pulling me in to a kiss. Her breath was warm, lips wet. We slowly kissed like lovers with no awkwardness, our mouths and tongues fitting together naturally, exploring their new homes. She began to slowly grind on my lap, her lips sliding up and down my hard shaft through our shorts. I encouraged her movements by placing my hands on her hips and grinding a bit harder, while maintaining our speed.
"Oh god I've wanted this for so long Liam." She moaned.
"Really?" I stopped kissing her and looked in her eyes, a little surprised to hear my affections returned to me.
"Don't get me wrong", she quickly qualified, "I love Alfred but I tried bringing up the idea of bringing someone else in once in a while for a threesome and he wasn't having it so I never brought up your name to him."
"I, I, would have said yes in a heartbeat, Jade" I stammered.
"I had a feeling" she winked and smiled at me. Behind her Lee stirred and went back to snoring like a bear. She stopped grinding and looked behind her. Lee seemed to settle. Turning back to me she whispered "I think maybe we should cool it for now. Let's slow down. We have plenty of time to explore this when we don't have an audience."
My heart sank as my balls rose, both screaming at me. "I guess you're right" I said.
She must have seen the dejected look on my face because she lifted my chin back up to look me in the eyes. She started rubbing my chest with both hands as she talked. "I could use a back massage if you're up for it. I've still got that pain in my shoulder and neck from earlier and you have amazing hands." I could see something mischievous in the coy look she gave me.
I smiled back "I get that a lot. It comes from playing bass. Strong fingers. Of course, I'll give you another massage."
"Yea!" she squealed, bouncing up and down on my lap, and then clamping her hands over her mouth. "shh!" she giggled as she got up and tip-toed out of the room. I stood up and went to the kitchen to get a drink.
When I came back into the living room, Jade had a towel spread out on the couch and a bottle of lotion in her hand. She had a hip cocked with a hand on it and displaying the lotion in her other hand like some pin-up in an old commercial.
"Oh, I'm going to like this, aren't I?" I breathed.
She just smiled and nodded, then threw the bottle at me. I managed to catch it one handed without spilling my drink. Now, with her hands empty, she crossed her arms in front of her, grabbed the bottom of her shirt and lifted it over her head. Tossing it on the floor next to Lee, she reached behind her and expertly unhooked her bra and let it slide down her arms. I was grinning like a fool.
She just calmly stated "what? I have to make sure you can get my whole back without staining my clothes." The innocent look on her face was in direct opposition to the perfect breasts also staring at me from her eighteen-year-old chest. I had been wrong, these were full C's and without their support, they were like perfect bombshells jutting out. Large pick areolas surrounded pencil eraser nipples that just begged for a mouth. She laid down on the towel and said, "I'm ready when you are Liam."
I set my drink down and straddled her on the couch, my still stiff cock pressing against her ass. I squirted a generous amount of lotion on my hand and started rubbing it together to warm it up. As soon as I applied the warm lotion to her shoulders she started vocalizing and wiggling her ass into me.
"If you keep doing that, I'm going to be applying more than lotion to your back." I warned her.
Jade's only response was a lilting "hmmm" that showed her interest.
I gave her a quick once over with the lotion, making sure to get her arms, shoulders, back, lower back, and sides. There was a good amount of side boob being pressed out to the sides that I looked forward to coming back to later. Once I was sure I got as much of the lotion rubbed into her skin as possible, I guided her to put her face down, hands up to rest her forehead on. I then started on a scalp massage to get her to really relax. Coming down to her neck I used my thumbs to dig in on either side of her upper trapezius and the smaller muscles underneath. I paid special attention to the shoulder trying to get everything loosened up and get more blood flowing. Hopefully she wouldn't even feel any pain from being thrown from the couch when she got up the next day. Time ticked away as I used every trick I had with fingers, thumbs, knuckles, and palms. There was no part of her back left untouched and I was loving every minute of it just as much as she was. I was determined to not have this back-rub end with "you're such a good friend" like it usually did. I made sure to spend longer than I needed to on her sides, really getting to as much boob flesh as I could, leaning my manhood deeper in her ass crack with each thrust forward. Languid moans escaped below me from time to time, as Jade reveled in the pampering that I was giving her. I eventually got down to her lower back and I really wanted to get the whole thing, so I started folding the top of her shorts down to reveal everything down to her ass crack. I tugged a little more, getting it just right and then heard a voice from beside me.
"Dude, what the fuck are you doing?" Shit. Lee had woken up just as I was tugging on Jade's shorts. She was also topless. It occurred to me in that moment that this might look bad to someone who just woke up without seeing the lead up.
"Is she even awake? Does she know what you're doing to her? I think it's time for us to go home."
Apparently, Jade had fallen asleep at some point because she now groggily lifted her head up. "What's up? Oh, is the movie over?"
I tried to calm Lee down as I stood up to talk to him. "Look, Lee, we were just watching the movie and she asked for a back rub, so I obliged. No harm, no foul. Besides, ALF dumped her tonight, you saw it!" My comments just rankled Lee more. He was sticking up for his friend and band mate that wasn't here whether he had dumped her or not.
"So, you thought you would just swoop in and grab her up as soon as she was single? And what were you doing when I caught you? It looked like you were taking off her shorts so you could fuck her while she was asleep! That's not okay no matter the situation!"
Jade spoke up having retrieved her shirt from the floor and holding it to her chest. "Lee it wasn't like that. I mean, yes, we were making out a bit and I took off my top so he could give me a massage, but everything was consensual."
"See?" I added. "What you saw was me trying to make room to massage her lower back, that's it. As far as her being asleep, that must have just happened because I heard her responding just before that."
"Okay, you know what?" He said, holding his hands up in exasperated surrender of the situation. "I think this night is over. I'm leaving, Liam. If you want a ride home, I suggest you get your ass out to the car." Lee looked at Jade and added "I'm sorry your night was shitty, but I think you guys should cool it before you do something you're going to regret. Let's just see where everyone is at in the light of a new day." He turned and walked out the door leaving me and Jade alone.
"Well that was an exciting end to a rather interesting night." I said to Jade. "Do you...want me to stay?"
"Yes...and no." she resolved "I guess he's right. I really enjoyed our time together tonight and thank you for wanting to comfort me after ALF was such a dick. It's late. I'll call you tomorrow when I get up and get my head straight." She was loosely holding my hand and not really meeting my eyes.
I decided to go out on a bang and pulled her to me, her shirt trapped between us as she wrapped her arms around me. Our lips met just as they did the first time but with more intensity. The passion was still there even if it was a goodnight kiss. Her strong tongue exploring my mouth and fighting mine as if they were swords locked in battle. I squeezed her ass, and she took that que to jump on me and wrap her legs around my back, trusting that I'd hold her up. I heard Lee's car start up on the street and knew it was time to go. I dislodged my mouth from hers and gently pushed her back. She got the hint and lowered her feet to the ground, her shirt dropping to the floor. I couldn't help taking one last look at those perfect tits. "Alright, beautiful, try to get some sleep tonight, what's left of it. Tomorrow is a new day."
I turned and walked out the door and saw Lee was still parked outside waiting for me. As I got in and buckled, he looked at me and said, "You know you just made things very hard for the band, right?"
I sighed and gave him a knowing look. "Yeah, but we've been through worse." (He was currently dating my ex) "Look I don't even know what this is yet so let's just allow it play out and not worry about burned bridges before they're even crossed. Are we cool?"
It was Lee's turn to sigh. "Yeah, guess so. Let's just get home."
Our conversation was done for the night. That left me to stare out the window and reflect on what had transpired that night. As I fell on to my bed, back at our apartment, the last thing to pass through my mind was, 'oh shit, our whole group of friends were supposed to meet tomorrow night for a big summer kickoff party at our drummer's house with BBQ and swimming at the local pool beforehand. It should be a blast. What could go wrong?
