On a 10+, Marina is willing to help Andrew, +1 Forward

⚃⚂ + 4 = 11

Marina blows a face full of bubbles and raises her head and shoulders from the bath. Her long blonde hair drains into the big tub. The bath seems like Marina's natural habitat, buoying her soft curves, letting her twist and turn as sinuously as a seal.

"So we're halfway through term, and three out of five of us are on restriction now?" Marina says. She laughs. "There must be some red faces and shouting at the staff meetings. Hope we haven't cost the House any points."

You shift position. You and Marina are in a big tub, but your knees are still sticking up.

"Do they do House points here?" you say. "Prefect Ish didn't say anything about it. You're making that up."

"Ha ha," Marina says, blowing bubbles through the soaked tresses of hair on her face. "So what did Andrew do? I mean, you caught him in the act right?"

You take a deep breath. "I just saw the, ah, climax? Warden was urging him to spend while he was up her, um, up her arse. He did."

"Ah ha ha," Marina says. "They probably added extra punishment just for that. Leontes has a little prudish streak."

"Well, we can't be in TOO much trouble," you say. "We're all still in classes. Or at least Andrew will be back at some point. I think he has the rest of the week on detention. AND on restriction."

Marina pushes back her dripping hair. "Whenever he touches it, it goes soft?" she says.

"Yes, that's his restriction."

"That would be the extra punishment, then," Marina says. "They didn't do that to you and me, despite our escapades with Dorothy and the Dildo as Big as Your Head."

You feel your face going warm and recall how sore your neck was after your first escapade. Your first lover, Dorothy. You're sure she wasn't Marina's first. You take a breath and recover yourself.

"Well, neither of us was caught wanking in class," you say.

Marina laughs. "Boys have it rough, that way. I just cross my legs and squeeze and squirm in the seat. Usually not to finish, just to keep a little glow in a boring lecture."

You think Marina's being serious, but you can't really read her like Rebecca, who is a more than open book.

"So," Marina continues, "That's why it's been dreadfully silent mornings and evenings. I was getting to like hearing him doing his morning horn salute when I woke up, and now it's gone. I thought Andrew was just in a mood."

"He is, and that's why," you say. "But I found out something last night when you all were out. It's only if Andrew touches himself that he goes soft."

Marina grins, a drop of water quivering under her chin. "You popped him off last night? Naughty girl," she says. "So that's why he wasn't surly this morning."

You nod. "Yes, he told me what had happened. Warden saw he'd got hard while they were practicing, she offered him a trade. She was the first woman who asked him, so he dived in," you say. "She showed him how to get her off, then gave him a turn. When he told about being caught in class, or being with the Warden, he got hard. When he touched himself, he got soft. He was really suffering. So..."

"So you just reached out?" Marina says. "And pop, what restriction?" She laughs.

"So I wanted to ask you something," you say. "Um."

"Ye-ess?" Marina drawls.

"Do you think you could help Andrew while he's on restriction? Some sort of trade?"

Marina's nipples stiffen, blooming from her breasts like broad, soft berries. Maybe she wasn't so hard to read, for certain things.

"I'd be more than pleased to offer a trade," she says. "Warden was teaching him to lick her?"

"That's what Andrew said. Touch her up, lick her. He loved it," you say.

"Rebecca wouldn't even think about it," Marina says. "But at least we can be in the room together if one of us wants a wank. She's turned out to be a once-at-bedtime girl. Thank you for that, by the way, I think it's rather helped our domestic harmony." She takes a deep breath, her breasts rising and falling. "So yes, I'll be Andrew's Mermaid of Mercy. And he can Kiss the Pearl."

You laugh. "How do mermaids do it?" you say.

"Dunno, I think that's covered second year, maybe third," Marina says. "Let's go find Andrew." She tilts her head. "Don't give me that look, of course you'll be there. How about you wank and give him a good show? Or collect your finder's fee from him, eh?"

You turn your uneasy look into a smile.

"Come on, this is one against injustice," Marina says. "For Good and Right!"

Your shoulders shake, but finally the laugh forces its way out. "All right, all right, all right," you say.

"You don't need to feed your terrible snake or something first?" Marina asks.

"No, just once a week," you say. "Sapienta is rather darling, actually."

"Ah, pffff," Marina says. "Just when I'm getting to like you. Darling snake, hmmf."
