One more important thing to do.

After getting back to our senses, Noelle sat up and cuddled next to me on the couch. We both laughed at nothing. We simply felt good.

I quickly removed the belt from around Noelle’s neck, gently unbuckling it before leaving it beside me. “Are you sure it didn’t hurt?” I asked her.

She nodded with a hand on her neck, smiling excitedly at me. “It didn’t. In fact it was… God, why am I like this?” She giggled. “That felt amazing, it felt… right. Somehow even better than when you’re rough.”

I chuckled. “I’m always worried I might hurt you, so this feels a bit better for me, too. So long as you like it, I’m more than happy to explore more of this.”

She leaned in and kissed my cheek. “I’ll buy a fluffy collar. And maybe some cuffs. And… Mmm… Do I want a tail-like butt-plug or not?”

Diana raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms and tilted her head. “Not judging, but… You really go all out, huh?”

“But! But!” Noelle blushed and shook her head fervently. “It felt so good! Like… I already knew stuff like context, roleplay and fetishes made sex better, but this time I seriously felt it in my skin! I… I like some rough play, so I thought I was just a masochist, but this is… different.” She shivered and giggled, happily swaying from side to side. “I didn’t think this could get better, but it just did!”

Diana sighed with a resigned smile. “When I first met you, I thought you were the most reserved. It seems I was very wrong.”

“Nah, she usually is,” Alice said as the whole group came out of the bedroom. The dinner scenario was over and the girls didn’t want to stay locked in the bedroom anymore. Understandably so. “This just shows how comfortable she’s getting with all this. I am, too, for that matter.”

Four gorgeous girls all coming into the living room fully naked. With the style of the room, the dance pole, the bar and all that, it really gave the impression we were in some strip club. Not that I’d ever been to one.

“Speaking of,” Grace gave Alice a spank on the butt, making her yelp and step forward. “You’ve yet to do it with Alice, love. Get to it!”

I grimaced. “I want to, but… Alice, do you mind waiting for me a little bit? There’s something I have to do.”

“I don’t mind,” Alice said. “We didn’t do it, but I did come, so I can wait. But what do you have to do?”

I grinned. “First, take a shower. It’ll be a quick one, so let me do it alone.”

The girls watched me with some confusion as I rose from my seat and went around the room picking up my clothes. Then I went into the bedroom, closed the door and went into the shower right in front of one of the beds.

I really did make it quick. It was a two minute shower at most. I thought of having a cold shower to literally cool my body, but I’m really bad with cold water, so I kept it at a lukewarm temperature. It felt nice, but I had to be quick. What took longer was getting dressed again. I put on my shirt back and my full suit, tie included. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Didn’t have a comb so I used my hand to fix my hair a bit. Nothing fancy, but I needed to be presentable.

I picked up my phone, looked up an appropriate song and walked out of the bedroom with my heart beating loudly from nerves. Yes, nerves. I had just done all that in front of her, and yet this still made me nervous.

I let the slow song play on my phone as I set it on the bar counter. Then I went directly to Diana and offered her my hand.

“You weren’t at prom with us. It might be a little odd, but would you dance with me?” I asked her.

Her eyes were wide open, her jaw half hanging. She then snickered, holding back a laugh, yet still she took my hand.

“This is your night,” she told me.

“Yes. And I want you to be a part of it. Is that wrong?” I said, pulling her from her spot beside the couch towards the center of the room.

“N-No, but… It feels a little weird to me.”

“I see… Then…” I loosened my grip on her hand…

…And Diana was the one to hold mine firmly instead. “No. I’m sorry. Forget that.” She smiled apologetically and moved closer to me, putting her other hand on my shoulder. “I… I want to dance.”

Relieved, I rested my free hand on her waist and the two of us began to move to the slow rhythm of the music. The others made a quiet, quick yet not so subtle retreat back into the bedroom, closing the door to leave us alone. Diana and I chuckled.

Okay, I admit it was… just a little embarrassing to dance with Diana. She was a fair bit taller than me, after all. Normally it doesn’t bother me, but in a dance where the man is supposed to lead it’s… Well, whatever.

I looked up at her and she looked down at me. She gave my hand a squeeze and shook her head with a smile. “You’re a different kind of breed, Oliver.”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

“Nothing. Just… Thank you.” She let go of me to get her arms around my neck, pulling me into a kiss. We continued dancing as we made out, shared shorter kisses and embraced each other.

“You’re…” I swallowed. “You’re important to me, okay? I don’t care enough about school to try to preserve any sort of prom tradition or purity. I want you here, Diana. Here, with us. Now and in the future, no matter what it is we’re doing. You’re not an outsider.”

“...” She hugged me closer and sucked in a shaky breath like she was trying to hold back tears. She succeeded, but still, I could feel joy in her chest. “Are you sure?”

“Want me to bring the others?” I teased. “They’ll tell you the same. They love you, too. And so does my mom, for that matter.”

Diana giggled, which was on the rare side. It was a rare, cute little laugh. She didn’t say anything else as we continued dancing. We simply held each other and reaffirmed the other’s presence.

When the song ended, though… “Hey, dear?” she said.

“Hm?”

“You were incredible back there. Watching you and the others…” She swallowed and smirked at me. “I liked it. A lot. Do you mind if I go after Alice? I haven’t done it in two weeks either, remember?”

“Just because you decided to cooperate with this silly game of theirs,” I teased.

“Come on, I had to. There would’ve been no point to it if you and I were doing it while they held back.”

“That’s true.” I chuckled. “Don’t worry. I don’t plan on getting any sleep tonight. We have plenty of time.”

“That we do.”
