Goodbye

I woke first. Early light was leaking in through the blinds, but the night was still clinging on. The reason for my early rise was obvious by the uncomfortable heat. Emma was pressed against me tightly. She wasn’t the only one in bed though. Beyond her was Mike, snoring softly as he faced away.

Despite the pain in my arm, I reached over with my free hand to gently brush the hair from her face. My girl was a trooper. Even though she was exhausted, she took everything Mike and I threw at her. Memories of the previous night fluttered through my thoughts as I stared at my sleeping girlfriend, a smile on my face.

Threesomes were awesome.

As carefully as I could, I untangled myself from Emma and made my way to the bathroom. A quick shower made me feel loads better. Then began the awkward trek downstairs to find the rest of my clothes. I wasn’t surprised to find the place empty. Empty beer bottles and snacks littered the area, but the clothes were gone minus ours. Dressing, I grabbed Mike and Emma’s clothes and headed back upstairs. Before I got back to the guest room, another door opened and Ryan walked out. He was naked, rubbing at his eyes.

“Morning.”

“Uh, morning. Sorry about crashing here—”

He waved it off with a grin. “You three were really going at it last night. I think you made Callie jealous.” At the mention, I saw someone stir behind him in bed. I recognized those legs anywhere. Before I could say anything else, his hand clasped my shoulder. “Much as I’d love to chat, nature calls.”

I stepped aside to let him pass, then quickly went back to the room where Emma and Mike were still sleeping.

Nothing exciting happened that morning, consisting mostly of people waking up, showering, and getting dressed. Ryan dug out some bagels and frozen waffles for breakfast. Conversation was mostly about everyone’s summer plans. The three of us helped Ryan and Callie clean up a bit before saying our goodbyes and heading out.

Standing on the porch with Emma and Mike, it all sort of hit me. That had been an orgy, right? Not something I ever expected to be a part of. I hadn’t participated in the usual way, but I had still been a part of it. Not to mention what happened after that with Emma and Mike.

Emma had been spoiled rotten. Beyond all the guys, she had me there with her every step of the way. The monster inside me had eaten some good fucking food because even it was sick from overstimulation. But standing here on the other side of it? Zero regrets.

“Well,” Emma said with a breath. Standing between us, she rested an arm on each of our shoulders. “That was fun.”

“I think my dick is going to fall off,” Mike complained. “Can you break your dick? I think I broke mine.”

“Don’t talk to me about being sore,” Emma said with a sharp look. “I think I’ve had my fill of sex this week.”

“Good thing today is the last day of the week,” I said, cackling happily as I rubbed my hands together in anticipation.

“Ha-ha. No.”

“Um. So, what happens now?” Mike asked, looking at us. I knew what he was asking. While people would probably be around for the remainder of summer, the group gatherings we had enjoyed during school were done. From now on, it was just us.

The three of us.

“No idea,” I said, standing straight. I took a breath, looking out at the yard in front of us, but my gaze was a lot farther. All I saw was the future waiting for us. Turning my attention back to Emma and Mike, I was grinning. “But I can’t wait to find out.”
