As is someone else

You turned the corner and while you did see Emma already standing at the door with her arms wrapped around her chest, you also saw Lucy about to switch on the tap to make herself a drink, turning around to look in your direction when she heard someone approach.

“Hey” she casually greeted, turning back to the sink as she continued to make her drink.

You turned away from her and back to the door to see Emma also staring into the kitchen at the situation, giving you a shrug as she had no clue what to do either. She however was a bit more pressed for time as she was stood outside naked where any potential non-subject could see her, making you want to come up with a riskier solution sooner rather than later.

“Hey. Is it warm in here or is it just me?” you asked, pulling at the neck of your t-shirt to fan yourself even if you didn’t feel particularly hot.

While Lucy’s glass filled, you went to the back door and grabbed the keys off to one side to unlock it, taking a step outside and into the colder evening air. Emma made way for you to walk past and you made sure there was enough room for her to get by you and into the house, now making you feel slightly sympathetic to her plight as you didn’t want to stay out here at this temperature for too long even with clothes on.

The few deep breaths of fresh air did actually feel good and you went back inside after what felt like an appropriate amount of time.

Emma had moved off towards the opposite side of the kitchen from Lucy as if worried about getting touched by her and the effect breaking, acting cautious which you approved of.

“God it’s cold out there” she whispered to you, starting off quiet until you saw her realise there was no need for her to be.

“Hi Lucy! How do I look?” she added, speaking at a louder volume and proudly placing her hands on her hips to show off her body.

Emma was grinning from ear to ear and while you were sure her nipples had hardened from the cold air outside, she did also seem to get a kick out of being naked out in the open.

Similar to how you had felt when you were down here on your own earlier.

“Are you okay?” Lucy asked, grabbing your attention and wandering over to you.

Before you could even say anything, she placed her now full glass on the side and walked over to you, getting incredibly close and pressing the palm of her hand against your forehead to take your temperature.

“Yeah I’m fine, I just needed some air. Why?” you reassured, not knowing what to make of her concern.

“You were just blankly staring off. You are a bit warm…” Lucy replied, her frown still not going away as she stayed right in front of you.

You felt like now wasn’t the time to look to Emma to see her reaction and that was itself the problem, everyone else just seeing you stare off into the void while you could see an actual human being standing there. From the outside looking in, it made a lot of sense why Lucy was looking at you with worry so you reminded yourself to avoid staring at Emma for too long if other people were in the room.

Which was harder to do than you thought with her fully nude.

“Trust me, I’m fine” you said, putting your hands on the side of her head as she held yours.

You gave her the briefest of kisses as if to prove your point that you were acting normally and you felt her lips linger slightly longer than yours when you parted, giving you the push to lean back in for something more.

Lucy had her back to the kitchen island but as she realised this wasn’t going to just be a quick kiss, she pulled you towards her while shifting up to sit on top of the counter, spreading her legs enough for you to come closer before wrapping them loosely around you.

“Damn…” you heard Emma say under her breath, letting her thoughts come out as she enjoyed the show you were giving her.

It was hard not to react when you hear her like that but you continued the kiss with Lucy with your focus back on her.

When the kiss ended for a second time, it felt like Lucy was satisfied in comparison to before, a smile creeping up her face as she enjoyed what had happened. Her mind stayed in the present for a little longer before she seemed to realise her original intentions, giving you a frown as she had been distracted.

“You do seem to be acting like yourself again but… Just get some rest okay?” Lucy said, with you getting a strange feeling from her not teasing you for once.

“Maybe I should check if you are doing alright? You haven’t tried to make fun of me even once this evening” you replied, putting your hand on her forehead to mimic her.

Even if it was a joke, you did actually check her temperature and she was fine in your opinion, finding that nothing had changed about her other than that she was being nicer than usual. Which was actually quite a big change to you.

“Oh I can do if you want me to. I mean I didn’t go easy on Sarah earlier. It’s just I… We can talk about this later. You need to go to bed” Lucy responded with a finger pointed at you, caring more about your current condition than continuing this topic.

You were about to interject and ask her to carry on but she put her hands on your chest and lightly pushed you back, giving herself enough room to move her leg around you and hop off the counter-top.

“I mean it. Go to bed” she warned, grabbing her drink and heading out of the kitchen without looking back in your direction.

You watched her leave and saw Emma standing near the door, moving out of Lucy’s reach as she got close just in case she moved to touch her. When Lucy had finally turned the corner and was out of view, only then did you turn to Emma.

“That was hot” Emma admitted with a grin, getting an eye roll from you which didn’t seem to stop her smile from getting even wider.

“Let’s go” you whispered, having to keep your voice down unlike Emma.

You did end up quickly grabbing yourself a drink as you had seen Lucy do, quietly offering to grab Emma something before you led her upstairs. You had to keep a low profile but Emma could do whatever she wanted as she followed after you.

You made it to the bottom of the stairs and turned to make sure Emma was still behind you, briefly seeing her walk into the living room before she went out of your sight.
