Of course

“He’s blackmailing you?”

Erica bit her lip and nodded. Tears started forming in the corner of her eyes and I hated seeing that. I reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. Alicia had already taken her hand and was whispering to her soothingly.

“Hey, relax. I’ll take care of it. Alicia watch over her till I come back.” Alicia nodded and I got up, making my way over to Brad who was shamelessly trying to flirt with an uncomfortable girl and was trying to look down her top.

“Give me your phone,” I ordered. He turned to hand it to me and the girl took the chance to flee. Instead of browsing his phone, I quickly deleted his entire gallery.

“Tell me only the truth from now on. Do you have any backup of the pictures you took of Erica?”

Alex shook his head. “No. I didn’t even upload it to the cloud.”

“Did you share or show them to anyone?”

“No.”

“Good.” I concentrated and my fingers tingled for a moment. I hadn’t tried this before but I wanted to see if my power extended to technology. To my delight it worked. Somehow I just knew that there was no trace of the pictures left, as if they never existed.

I threw him his phone back and made my way back to the girls. Erica had calmed down now and was talking to Alicia. By the looks on their faces, it looked as if they really were great friends having a usual conversation. They really were though. I had made it so. This was the reality for them and there was nothing unusual about it.

“I took care of it,” I told them and sat down.

“What? How?”

“Don’t worry about it. Brad doesn’t have anything to blackmail you with anymore.”

Erica actually started crying this time. She half threw herself over the table and gave me a hug. “Thank you John. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me.”

“Hey now. It’s all right,” I said soothingly even as I breathed in her perfume. “Stop crying. It’s going to ruin your beautiful face.”

Erica sobbed one last time and sat back down. Alicia squeezed her shoulder in happiness. “Sorry. I’m just so glad I don’t have to lose my virginity to him.”

Involuntarily, my dick jumped up at that. She was a virgin? I should have realised from our conversation.

“What sort of guy would you like to give your virginity to,” I asked eagerly.

“John!” Alicia’s face was red from anger and I was momentarily confused about her reaction. Oh right, people don’t usually have this kind of conversation and I realized this might have been highly inappropriate.

“What’re you so upset about,” I asked the both of them. “The three of us have always been open about our sex life with each other right? Like I said, we trust each other completely.”

Alicia visibly relaxed. “You’re right. I don’t know why I got mad.” I turned to Erica expectantly.

“Someone I care deeply about. Someone who will never take advantage of me. Someone I’ll never regret sleeping with. Someone special.”

“Someone like me.” I gave her a smile and she blushed.

“Someone exactly like you.”

I knew perfectly well that I was none of those things but with just a sentence, I was all of those things to Erica. I was totally taking advantage of her. I realised that I was no different from Brad. The difference was, I made sure that Erica was okay with that. She won’t ever think that she is making the wrong choice about me. She won’t ever feel like she felt with Brad. I never claimed to be a morally correct person and I didn’t see a reason to justify myself to anyone else. If the girl thought it was consensual, there was nothing wrong with what I’m doing. As skewered at that may be, I did not feel ashamed.

“What about you?” I turned to Alicia. “You also want your first time to be someone like me right?”

“Is that even a question,” Alicia said with a smile.

A huge grin was plastered on my face. “When are you going to break up with Brad?”

“Right away.” Erica got up to do just that.

“Wait.” I grabbed her hand. “Brad put you through too much. You want revenge. You need to make him pay.”

She nodded. “You’re right, but how do I do that?”

“I know just the way to do that. Don’t break up with him yet. Trust me. By tomorrow he’ll be so humiliated that he can’t even look you in the eye. For now just go and enjoy the rest of the night.”

She gave me a smile and wandered off to chat with her friends. When Brad came back I told him that she went to the bathroom and he stumbled away.

“That was a pretty nice thing you did for her.” Alicia had a hand propped up on the table and was smiling at me. I knew what I had planned for tonight was itself a blatant abuse of everyone’s mind and my power but I just couldn’t help myself.

“You know I’d do the same for you if you ever need anything.”

This power was becoming intoxicating for me. I had to calm down. I took Alicia by the hand and went to take some pictures with our friends. It looked like Alex was having a successful night. We had to drag him away from making out with his date to take a picture. He had a one track mind tonight and was thinking with his dick. I wasn’t much better.

When it was time to dance, Alicia and I made our way to the floor and held each other. As we danced slowly, Alicia stared up at me with such adorable eyes that I couldn’t help but feel excited.

“You feel hot dancing with me, aren’t you?”

Alicia flushed and bit her lip, nodding slowly. I wrapped a hand around her waist and pulled her close.

“You feel excited for tonight and can’t wait for this party to end. Don’t worry. I feel the same way.” My hand trailed down and gently cupped her ass. I made sure that no one was looking. “This is starting to make you wet.”

Without any prompt from me, she pulled me in and mashed her lips against me. This was not the awkward kiss we had three years ago or the quick one she gave me two days ago. This kiss was filled with passion and lust. Her tongue urgently pressed against my mouth and I obliged, letting her in. I eagerly tasted her hot and wet tongue as I squeezed her ass.

Reluctantly, I pulled back and held her at length. “Be patient babe. We have all the time in the world.”

“You have no idea how much I want that to be true,” she whispered. I simply chuckled and we continued with the rest of our dance. When they announced the prom king and queen, I wasn’t surprised to see that it was Brad and Erica. They were always the power couple of the school. As they walked up the stage, Erica looked around and her eyes caught mine. I gave her a reassuring smile and that was enough for her to go up and accept her crown. She even put up with Brad’s antics with a convincing fake smile.

I patiently waited for them to finish their customary dance and walked up to them. “May I have the pleasure of a dance?”

Erica looked surprised but readily took my hand.

“What the hell man,” Brad asked with a flushed face.

“Calm down Brad. It’s just a dance with the prom queen. It’s perfectly fine. Why don’t you spend some time with your friends?”

Brad grumbled but walked off to do as he was told. I already told Alicia to have a good time till I finished with Erica and as I spotted her, she gave me a smile and a wave. She was gleefully interrupting Alex and his date and he was not so subtly glaring at her. Oh she was such a cock block.

I took Erica to the dance floor and held her, although not as close as Alicia in case anyone noticed.

“That was pretty bold of you,” Erica told me. Nobody ever tried to talk to Erica when she was with Brad. Asking her to dance was just plain asking for it. Yet, I had just done what everyone else was scared to do. Quite a few guys looked on in jealousy and I felt pretty smug about that.

“That turns you on, me ordering Brad like that.”

“To be honest yeah. I do find it pretty hot.” Erica’s hand tightened on my shoulder.

“I have to confess Erica, I always been very attracted to you and I know you feel the same way.”

Erica smile and moved closer of her own volition. I smiled and moved my hand down to her ass, just like I had with Alicia. The room was now dark enough that no one could readily notice.

“I wish I dated you instead of Brad.” That sent a spike of arousal through me. Here I was, dancing with the prom queen with a hand on her ass and she just said she wanted to date me. I gave her fleshy bum a squeeze and she only smiled in return. It looks like I didn’t have to command everything. Things progressed as they naturally would when two people were attracted to each other. I only had to plant the right seeds.

“So what’s your plan for Brad tonight?”

“Oh it’s not so much a plan for Brad as much it is for you. Trust me, you’re going to love it.”

“Now you have me even more eager. What is it?”

“Nah ah,” I said with a smirk. “You’ll soon find out. Just be patient. I bet you’re slowly becoming aroused thinking about what I have in store for you.”

“I am so hot right now,” Erica groaned and I had to physically keep her from jumping me. We were interrupted by the photographer who asked to take a picture of us together. It was the same photographer who took a picture of me and Alicia a few minutes ago and he was actually here now as per my instruction.

I pulled her close to me and smiled at down at her. I made sure that my hand on her ass was visible just like I had done with Alicia and the photographer took a few pictures of us. It must have looked strange, a commoner like me dancing with a crowned queen like Erica with a hand on her ass and I wanted to preserve that memory forever, to let everyone who looked at the yearbook to know that I had done it. Everyone would see how close I held the two most beautiful girls in class on prom night.

As the night ended and everyone was leaving, I still had Alicia and Erica with me. Alex took the first chance he got to slip away with his date to god knows where. I had a pretty good idea of what they were going to do though. He wasn’t the only one who was going to have a good night. As expected, Brad approached us and tried to drag Erica away.

“Come on babe, it’s time for us to have some fun.” Erica raised her eyebrow at me, not at all nervous because of my earlier words. Her absolute trust sent a thrill through me.

“Actually Brad, I have a better idea,” I said and stopped him. “You booked a hotel right? We’ll all go to my house. My parents aren’t home tonight and it’s better that some dingy hotel.”

“That’s awesome man! You’re a real bro,” Brad replied with a stupid grin.

As we were leaving I had a wicked idea and told Brad to fuck off for a minute. I grabbed the photographer and pulled in the girls close.

“Why don’t the three of us take a picture together? Erica, keep the crown.”

After he took the photo I took the camera from him and had a look. It was perfect. We stood in front of the school and right at the entrance illuminated by a halo, was me. The girls were pressed tightly against me with Alicia to my left and Erica to my right with her crown still on. They each had a hand propped up on my shoulders (the high heels Alicia wore made her match Erica in height) and had a hand on their hips with one leg bent slightly toward me. The side of their breasts were pressed against my chest and I my hands on their hips, dangerously close to their ass. All of wore matching grins though mine was a little more smug.

I would make sure that this picture ended up in the yearbook. I was a member of the selection committee after all.
