Make friends with benefits.

Ruby was having a great day again. She smiled out at the street from her front porch. She was sitting in her cozy outdoor chair and enjoying a glass of cold water. She loved how even the most basic things were just fun now. She sipped the water and relished the coolness on her tongue.

It wasn't a busy day in the neighborhood, so she immediately spotted her neighbors approaching her house. It was that grumpy couple, Matt and Penny. Penny was completely nude and Matt was smiling. Ruby wasn't sure which was more surprising.

"Hey, how's it going?" she asked warmly as they walked up to her porch. "Nice boobs, Penny. Why are they out?"

In response, Penny hugged her tight. Ruby loved feeling Penny's naked body pressed against hers and the smell of her shampoo. She said as much as they finally broke their embrace and Penny sat down next to her.

"So you two finally took it, huh?" Ruby asked with a giggle. She thought Matt was one of the holdouts. Maybe Penny finally talked him into it?

"Just me," Penny said with a smile. "I kinda sprung it on Matt."

"Oh my gosh, Matt! You must be so angry!" she exclaimed, filled with genuine compassion. "I know you loathe-"

"Shut fuck up," he interjected. She complied with a smile. This kind of verbal **** wasn't surprising; Matt made a point of being an asshole to anyone he knew couldn't dislike it. "I was pissed off until I realized something."

Penny put her arm around Ruby in a gesture of friendly intimacy and leaned against her. "I convinced him that I'm still me, just... happy."

"Happy to do whatever the fuck I want," Matt clarified. "Plus she knows she owes me for taking the anesthetic behind my back. So I get to do whatever I want to her. Fair's fair, right babe?"

Penny gave a thumbs-up with a goofy grin. Ruby was starting to understand. "So he brought you over here to do some stuff you wouldn't have before the anesthetic. I assume it involves me?"

"I'm gonna make her watch you blow me," Matt explained. Penny nodded and Ruby thought for a second.

"How do you know I'll do it?" she asked mildly. It sounded nice to her but she hadn't really planned to give a blowjob today. She snuck a hand over to one of Penny's breasts and began to gently squeeze. Penny blushed and leaned into her.

"What, are you gonna turn me down?" Matt challenged. "You'll enjoy it, right? You don't have any reason not to. It's no different than eating an ice cream cone or doing paperwork, is it?"

Ruby nodded. "Yeah, except no one's taking advantage of me when I eat ice cream. That said, I kinda like when you take advantage of me."

"You like everything, you fucking dimwit." Matt opened her door and Penny stood, breaking the other woman's grip on her chest. "Now get in there and let's see what you can do."
