Getting to know them both

Panting harshly, Carly eventually slumped forward, draping herself over Matthew's sweat-slicked back. She peppered his neck and shoulders with soft kisses as the afterglow washed over them all. "Mmmm... that was fucking amaaaazing~" she murmured, her voice low and satisfied as the two of them lowered themselves to the floor on either side of Anna. "Next time, save some dick for me though..."

Anna lay twitching and panting on the mat, trying to catch her breath as the aftershocks of her third or fourth (she couldn't remember which) mind-blowing orgasm slowly subsided. As she finally relaxed, a contented sigh escaped her as she snuggled into Matt's side, basking in the intimacy of the moment.

"Wow..." she breathed, her cheeks flushed and eyes bright with the thrill of having fucked Matthew, and been fucked in return. "That was even more amazing than I thought it would be..."

Carly chuckled softly, her fingertips sliding up and down the girl's exposed torso, enjoying the goosebumps she was causing. "Glad you enjoyed yourself, sweetheart. You were a natural out there. You need some endurance work, but I'm sure Matthew will be happy to help in that regard. We both can~"

"Fuck yeah!" Matt said without hesitation, still in disbelief of his luck.

Anna giggled breathlessly, her smile radiant as she gazed adoringly at her two apparent lovers. "I'd like that very much," she replied, leaning into Carly's touch. "I've never had a boyfriend or girlfriend, let alone both at the same time, but I like the sound of it."

Carly's eyes lit up at Anna's words, a slow, wicked grin spreading across her face. "Is that what we are now? Gotta say, I don't hate the idea," she purred, her hand sliding down to give Anna's plump rear a firm squeeze before doing the same to Matthew. "It's funny, this isn't how I imagined getting back with you Mattie, but I like the way she thinks..."

Matthew just laughed, looking between both beautiful young women. "Is that what this is? I go from having no girlfriend to two? I'm not dreaming. I'm dead! You girls killed me with your sweet, sexy asses, and now I'm in heaven!"

Anna giggled at Matthew's antics, shaking her head fondly. "Well, if we did kill you, at least you died happy," she teased, giving his cheek a playful pat. "But seriously, I think I get why you like losing to Carly now that I've been on top and bottom back-to-back. Just admitting defeat and letting you have your way with me? That was SO hot~"

Matt sat up and looked past Anna, glowering at Carly. "You told her about that?"

Carly just shrugged with a devilish grin, unrepentant. "Maybe I did. Can you blame me? It's too funny watching you get all flustered."

She rolled over onto her stomach, propping her chin on her hands and wiggling her ass at Matthew teasingly. "Face it, big guy. You love being put in your place by a woman. Especially this woman~"

Matthew shook his head and said nothing, but the amused grin on his face confirmed Carly's words to both girls.

She leaned in close, wrapping her arm around Anna and flicking the girl's nipple, earning a gasp of surprised pleasure. "Or maybe you're just jealous that I got to corrupt your precious little Anna first~" Carly purred, shooting the increasingly less shy young woman a wink.

Anna shivered at the electric zing of sensation from Carly's teasing touch, her nipple pebbling under the attention. She bit her lip, glancing between the two with a mix of embarrassment and growing boldness.

"I wouldn't say corrupted..." she mumbled, though the blush staining her cheeks gave her away. "More like... released something that's been struggling to get out. I've always been so afraid of putting myself out there. Fiercely defending my own accomplishments, but afraid to step out of my comfort zone."

Anna paused, curling her fingers into a fist, remembering the thought of bringing Billy down, not just mentally, but physically. "I feel like I've been getting better about it these last few weeks. That's why I asked Carly to teach me boxing. Then seeing the both of you together made me so jealous, like I didn't belong, because I could never be that way. But then, you accepted me, encouraged me. Convinced me to let out a part of myself I was afraid to admit was there. Now, for the first time, I feel like I can let myself be me. All of me..."

Her gaze drifted down to Carly's pert ass, barely contained by those skimpy shorts. Feeling emboldened by the two and their silent support, Anna reached out tentatively to cup one of those plush globes, marveling at the firm muscle underneath the soft skin. "And I definitely want to learn more about that part of myself... with both of you."

Carly let out a low, approving growl as Anna's hand came to rest on her rump, pressing back into the tentative caress. "Damn straight, babe," she purred, her voice husky with approval. "No more hiding that pretty ass in the closet. Let it out to play~"

"You've always been wonderful just the way you are, Anna," Matthew murmured, pressing his own naked body against hers and kissing her shoulder sweetly. "Don't ever doubt that. I've admired your intelligence and quiet confidence from day one. Watching you come into your own, being a part of that change, has been nothing short of an honor..."

Carly rolled her eyes, but couldn't ignore the shiver of delight that his chivalrous words always brought to her. "Always the fucking gentleman. Can't you just say it was good to see her cut loose and fuck her brains out?"

Anna let out a purr as the young man gently ravished her, sandwiched between the two warm bodies. She nuzzled into Matthew's neck affectionately, breathing in the combined scent of their sex.

"I prefer the way Mattie puts it," she giggled, her voice an unexpected mix of blissful and forceful as she kissed his jaw. "It feels... special. Like you're not just accepting this new side of me, because you were always watching me, waiting for it to come out."

When she pulled away, Anna grinned impishly at Carly, giving her ass a firmer squeeze. "And thank YOU, for showing me how to let loose and embrace my... wilder side," she said with a wink, echoing Carly's earlier words.

Carly gave her a dismissive wave. "Don't even worry about it. I was happy to help. Truth is, it's not all that different from my own story."

Carly's smile turned somber for a moment, a hint of vulnerability peeking through her usual bravado. "I'm not built like a lot of the girls at school. Thicker frame, frizzy hair, I've been told I'm cute, but I'm not prom queen material. Most guys looked right past me, and the girls thought I was too butch. Getting into feminism just seemed like the natural way to go. That's why I wanted to prove I could keep up with the boys. Being a competitor was something no one could take away from me. That I never questioned about myself."

She gave Matthew wistful, almost grateful smile. "That's how I met Matthew. Most of the boys in the boxing club thought I didn't belong, but he supported me. He saw me for who I was. For what I was. All of me, and he actually liked what he saw..."

Matthew returned the smile, moving closer to both girls. "Of course I did. Still do. Both of you are amazing, inside and out. Hard working, proud, stubborn, determined. Way more beautiful than either of you give yourselves credit for! Give me a real woman who has the guts to push her limits and prove herself over an entitled princess any day..."

Carly snorted, but there was no bite to it. She leaned over and booped Matthew on the nose affectionately. "Yeah, yeah. Smooth talker. You're going to make me blush if you keep that up."

Turning back to Anna, Carly's expression softened. "The point is, I understand what it's like to struggle with self-image and identity. To feel like you don't quite fit in anywhere. So when I saw you stepping out of your shell, I wanted to encourage that. Help you find your power, your confidence. Because you deserve to feel good about yourself, all of yourself. Not just your brains..."

She squeezed Anna's hand reassuringly. "And if talking with us, training with us, or just having a couple of 'fuck buddies' helps with that, you'll find a couple of eager partners right here~"

"Preach!" Matt laughed, but there was a sincerity that shined through, showing that he didn't mean that just because the sex had been great.

Anna's eyes shone with gratitude as she listened to Carly and Matthew speak. She felt seen, understood, accepted. Loved, even. She had people that cared, that had tried to encourage her, but this was the first time it had felt so natural. So right.

A lump formed in her throat, but she swallowed it down, determined not to ruin the moment with tears.

"Thank you," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "Both of you. For everything. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I'm so grateful that we found each other like this."

Matt let out a pleased hum, running his fingers across her smooth skin. "You and me both. Gotta say, I wondered if Carly and I might end up getting back together, but this is NOT how I pictured it happening. Did you two plan this, or something?"

Carly barked out a laugh, shaking her head. "Not exactly. When Anna asked me to teach her to box, I thought having you around would be a good influence. But then you got here early. There was all the sexual tension because of what happened with Billy..."

She shuddered at the memory of the text messages between her and the boy she had finally redeemed herself against, not knowing that it was secretly her new girlfriend who had sent the messages. "Then Anna shows up right as we were getting hot and heavy? I couldn't have planned this out if I tried! Wasn't about to waste the opportunity, though~"

Anna giggled, nuzzling into Matthew's chest. "Well, I'm glad you didn't waste it. I think I needed that push to really understand how far I've come. How I'm not just a shy little bookworm anymore..."

She trailed off, a sly smirk playing on her lips. "Though, I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting to end up in a sex-capade when I came over to train. That was a nice surprise~"

Matthew chuckled, pressing a kiss to her temple. "A very nice surprise, indeed. Take it from the guy you both used as a human vibrator and glazed like a donut! Yet still less surprising than you learning to box. Where did that come from, anyway?"

Carly perked up at the question, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Ooh, tell him about Billy! About how you put that smug bastard in his place!"

Anna blushed, but couldn't stop the proud grin that spread across her face. "Okay, okay. So, you know how Billy's always been kind of a jerk to me? Making comments about my height, my looks, my interests... Well, while I was in France, Mom got a few boxing lessons from him. When I got back, she convinced him to give me one..."

Anna paused. While she had considered revealing the knockouts that she and her mother had given Billy, she really didn't want to lessen Carly's own victories, or make Matt feel like less of a man when he had yet to defeat her brother. Especially after everything they had done for her that morning. Instead, she decided to give them just enough of the truth to make her case.

"So, it turns out, boxing seems to be almost genetic in our family. After just one lesson, I busted him right on the chin, knocking him on his ass! He refused to teach me again after that. When I confronted him about it, Billy let it slip that he was afraid that I might show him up in boxing, the way I do at academics."

"No way..." Matt's jaw was practically on the floor when he heard that Billy, Big Bad Boxing Billy, the once-in-a-lifetime talent in the ring, was scared of ANNA...!

Carly just giggled at his reaction. "Anna wasn't satisfied with being dismissed. When she heard the rumor about the "legendary" young woman who Billy had to be rescued from, she found my number and asked me to teach her."

Carly gestured to herself, then continued the tale with obvious pride. "Course, I agreed. Couldn't wait to see the look on that arrogant prick's face when he realized he'd underestimated her twice, and that I'd been the one to train her! Teach her a few tricks, get her in shape, and send her back out there to kick his ass for real!"

She high-fived Anna, laughing gleefully. "Sounds like a familiar story, huh Mattie? The same way you convinced me to go back to the boxing club so I could finally fight Billy and shake off my loss from way back?"

This time, it was Anna's jaw that dropped in shock. "You sent Carly to beat up Billy?! But I thought he was your best friend?!"

Matt sighed, laying back and folding his hands under his head. This further showcased the definition of his hard muscles, and both girls did not hide their admiring gazes.

"He is. But he's also an arrogant, condescending prick. And that's on a good day," Matthew growled staring up at the ceiling. "He knows he's the best, and for years he's made sure everyone else knew it, too..."

Matt sighed again, adjusting to his elbow so he could look both girls in the eye. "I can live with being second place, I really can, but hearing it over and over from the guy who is supposed to always have your back gets old after awhile. Especially when it encourages everyone else in the club look down at me. They all laugh and mock me for always coming up short, for always being number two, even though I can lay every single one of them out just as easily as Billy can. But because he is the king, I get to be the jester."

Carly nodded, her expression sympathetic. Then she turned to Anna. "Until recently, that is. Billy has been off his game for weeks. Looks like you and your mom showcasing some natural talent probably had something to do with that. Matt saw it. He could have taken the crown after all these years in Billy's shadow, but he just couldn't take the kill shot..."

Matt shook his head, exasperation written all over his face. "It's not the same. I've spent so long trying to catch up, I wanted to know that if I finally put him out cold, it was because I had actually left him in the dust. But every time I pushed these last few weeks, he got worse. More desperate. That was NOT the rival I worked so hard to beat. To me, beating him wouldn't have meant a thing. But I knew someone else who it would mean everything to..."

He gestured to Carly.

Carly preened under the attention, a smug grin on her face. "Hell yeah it would! Beating Billy after he chased me out of the club, humiliated me when all I wanted to do was compete...?!"

Carly growled, slowly extending her fist, imagining that moment when she had been interrupted, the instant before she had slept the champion who had his legend built off her biggest humiliation. "Yeah, I could care less if he was off his game. To me, it just means that he isn't the "perfect fighter" he always claimed to be. No, I just wanted to wipe that stupid cocky smirk off his face and show him what happens when you underestimate a woman!"

Carly actually giggled after saying that, "Actually, knowing that he's slipping because little sister put the fear of a woman in his head? That just makes the cause feel even more vindicated! If I can just get a shot at him without someone breaking it up..."

Anna's eyes widened as she realized the depth of Carly's resentment towards Billy. To crush her dreams and ideals like that just for being a woman in a male dominated sport. And Matthew? She had known that he was driven, but she hadn't fully appreciated the weight of history between her brother and his best friend. Suddenly, her own grudge against the arrogant boxer seemed almost petty in comparison.

To her, it was a sibling rivalry. To them, it was personal...

"And you still haven't gotten that chance," Matthew added quietly, his tone thoughtful. "You beat him. Everyone knows you beat him. Even Billy knows you beat him, and he's running scared. But you deserve that final shot. To leave him snoozing at your feet in front of everyone. But you'll never get the chance with Coach Lucy protecting her star prodigy..."

Carly huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "Tell me about it. I had him! I fucking HAD him! He knew he was going lights out from a woman's fist, but that damn whistle stopped me. Did you know she actually called me last night and asked me to go easy on him if I came back? It's like she doesn't want to risk me embarrassing her precious golden boy again!"

Matthew gave an understanding nod. "I believe it. I know you want to believe she'll be on your side. 'Girl power' and all that. But the truth is, Billy is more valuable if he remains undefeated. Some boxers never recover from a loss. Billy has been at the top so long, that if he goes down to you, a girl. Someone he's beaten before. Someone nobody believes he should fear. If you do it in any official capacity, it could very well end him."

Carly snarled, her fists clenching at her sides. "Fuck that noise. He deserves to lose. He deserves to be put in his place. By ME! Not some fluke accident by one of the guys in the club that wants to claim his chin, but by someone who wouldn't go down quietly. Someone who worked hard to come back from their own humiliation, and came back stronger than he could have dreamed! And if you won't do it Mattie, then I will."

Matthew only gave a reassuring grin, "No, I'm there with you, babe. It's past time someone gave him a punch nap, and I'd rather it be someone I care about tucking him in."

Carly beamed at the reassurance. She turned to Anna sitting up fully, with fire in her eyes. "Anna, I'm sorry. I know he's your brother, but I need this, and he deserves it..."

Anna held up her hands placatingly, a small smile on her face. "Hey, hey, relax. I get it. Believe me..."

It was true. Anna loved her brother, she really did, but she wouldn't be taking so much pleasure out of his humiliation if she didn't understand exactly where Matt and Carly were coming from. Billy might not be the typical bully, but he still liked making everyone else feel like they were below him. She wasn't even sure that he realized he did it, but the fact that Anna could never enjoy her own success without Billy trying to lessen them, or imply that his were more important, it hurt. She had never noticed how he did it to everyone else, but hearing it from Matt and Carly, Anna could now see how mean and arrogant her brother had became.

She let her mind race the way she did at academic competitions, covering all the factors she needed to calculate.

Anna had now confirmed that Carly was indeed the one to beat Billy, but she had been denied her ultimate victory by his coach's interference. How many times, she wasn't sure. While she was beginning to reconsider if Carly had beaten him the night she had questioned her brother about, that part was no longer relevant to the bookish girl. Or at least, a matter for another time.

Anna couldn't bring herself to reveal that she had already slept Billy, not when Carly had been so close, only to have her goal snatched away from her. Matt probably could have done it, but either out of pride or for the sake of his friendship, he refused. Besides, they all knew it would mean more to Carly than him. It would likely mean more coming from Carly as well, and Anna wanted her to get that victory she so deserved. But that could very well break Billy. If Matt was right, and her brother's increasingly weakened state were any indication, he might never be able to box again.

Did she want that? Could she choose Carly and Matthew over her own brother?

Carly and Matthew, two people who had done more for her in just a few hours than she felt Billy had done his whole life, had been hurt by the champ's arrogance and selfishness for years.

Carly, someone who shared Anna's views on the world. Who had been so close-by, and that Anna now wished she had gotten to know much sooner instead of overlooking her like so many others had. Who's story of fighting to be noticed and accepted in a world that thought she didn't belong was a reflection of her own.

Matthew, her personal prince charming, who had always been one of the only people who ever made her feel seen. Who would talk with her in the hallways, and speak up for her when others tried to put her down. Not because of her family, or popular friends, or awards she had won, but just for being Anna.

It wasn't a hard decision...

"Look, Billy may be my brother, but he's also an asshole," she said glancing between them before continuing. "A giant, egotistical, misogynistic asshole. He needs to be taken down a peg or ten. And if anyone deserves that honor, it's you Carly. You've earned it."

Anna took a deep breath, steeling herself for what she was about to suggest. "I might just have a plan, if you guys are interested~"
