Chapter 9

Dani gave Sam a speculative look. He'd fully recovered from Rahne's attentions. If anything, he was even more aroused than before. "Hey, Sam, our girl keeps talking about how that tool of yours won't 'fit.' You wanna demonstrate how it works?"

Sam, somehow, managed to look even more surprised. "Chief, you aren't saying what I think you're saying, are ya?"

Dani crawled over Rahne (to Rahne's delight) and pushed Sam back on his back. "If you mean, 'is this Indian girl thinking of playing Ride-'em Cowgirl,' you'd be right." She grabbed his swollen member and began stroking it. "You aren't complaining, are you?"

"Dani!" Rahne almost shrieked. "Ye canna be thinking about doing... that!"

"I'm doing a lot more than just thinking about it. How about it, Sam?"

Sam, oddly enough, had a reluctant expression on his face. "I... I dunno, Dani." Dani noticed he'd dropped the "Chief" nickname. "I mean, everything we've all done here, we can just call it fooling around and horseplay and stuff. We can pretend it ain't serious. But that... well, I don't feel right about going all the way just for fun and games. Yeah, I know this ain't real, but it's feels real, and that's enough. Maybe it's just how I was brought up, but I want that to mean something. And doing it with a friend just for fun... that just seems to cheapen it."

Dani was brought up short. She had expected Sam to act like the stereotypical teenage boy and jump at the chance to have sex with a willing girl, but she realized she'd underestimated him. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Rahne unconsciously nodding along, agreeing with what he had said.

And, she realized, she agreed, too. She'd gotten lost in the moment when she first propositioned Sam, but now that she'd had a minute to think about it, she found that what he said struck a chord in her, too. She no longer wanted to jump on him just for the novelty of the experience (and, of course, to prove Rahne wrong).

As she focused on her feelings, she realized something more: she still did want to jump him. Only now, though, it was because she was touched by what he said.

She took her hand off his penis and placed it on his chest. "Sam, look at me." Once she had his eyes, she continued. "You're absolutely right. That is a big line, and we should respect it. Sex should be between people who deeply care about and respect and appreciate each other, not just seeing how well Rod A fits into Slot B. I was wrong to suggest it, and thank you for reminding me of that."

Sam smiled bashfully. "I almost didn't say anything. I didn't want you to think I was rejecting you. God knows I want you. But I just couldn't do it that way. It wouldn't be fair to either of us."

Dani leaned over him, making certain to brush her breasts against his chest. "Let me make certain you get that I understand you, then." She then tenderly kissed him first on one cheek, then the other, then pressed her lips to his.

Sam had been convinced that he was beyond shocking at this point. He was wrong. Instinctively, his arms wrapped around Dani and pulled her fully atop him. Their lips pressed and parted, and Dani invited his tongue to explore her mouth - then wrestled back with her own tongue. He tangled his fingers in her long hair; she returned the favor.

When they finally broke for air, Dani gave him one final peck on the lips, sealing the passionate kiss with one of affection - a bookend for the prior kisses. She smiled tenderly down at his still-dazed face. "So, Sam, feeling a bit more appreciated now?"

He leaned forward and returned the chaste kiss. "Truth to tell, I was feeling about half lab rat and half fifth wheel so far. You two were having a grand old time on your own. Not that I minded the show, of course, but it was still a bit... less than perfect."

Dani rested her head on his chest, appreciating the strong beat of his heart. "Poor Sam. You're such a nice guy, always so strong for the rest of us, it's so easy to just take you for granted. And you're such a nice guy, you never complain about how you're treated." She put her own arms around him (as best she could, considering their positions) and hugged herself to him. She then turned her head to the side. "Rahney, get over here and help me convince this big lug we do love him."

Dani slid off Sam's far side as Rahne crawled over and draped herself atop Sam in her place. She looked him solemnly in the eyes. "Ye're the most wonderful man I know, Sam, and I canna imagine being here - like this - with anyone else." She then echoed Dani's gesture, kissing him tenderly on each cheek and lips, and buried her head in his chest. She pulled herself tight against him.

Sam hugged her back, almost overwhelmed by the demonstration. Dani let them embrace for a while, then spoke up. "Rahney, we really do owe him a little attention. And not like before - we should let him have some say in things. So, Sam, what should we do?"

Sam thought about it for a moment. Several very dirty things crossed his mind. But in the end, he remembered a moment earlier in their adventures here - a moment that had left a huge impression on him. "OK, how about this. Rahne, you come over here - " he eased her off from atop him, and pressed her to his side - "and Dani, you come over here." He pulled both girls against him, his arms around them. "Now, if you'll just lift up your legs a little..." As the girls complied, he slipped his own thighs between their legs, so their loins were pressed up against his hips and thighs. He started stroking up and down their backs, his long arms allowing him to caress all the way down to their bottoms. "Now this is just about perfect."

Dani smiled, also enjoying the closeness. Playfully, she started rocking her hips, rubbing herself against his firm thigh. "I gotta agree, Sam, this is wonderful."

Rahne noticed what Dani was doing, and tried it herself. The pressure of Sam's thigh between her legs felt wonderful - arousing, but not likely to lead to a climax any time soon. She added to it by drawing slow circles on Sam's chest, playing with his wispy chest hair. "Oh, aye. It was nice before, but now, with all three of us all skin to skin, with no bigger plans, it is just like Heaven." Dani's hand soon joined hers.

The three of them lay that way for several long minutes, just caressing each other and enjoying the closeness. Eventually, Dani's hand started wandering down lower, eventually reaching his groin. She gently wrapped her hand around his fully-erect shaft. "So, Sam, it looks like at least part of you wants a bit more." She then turned serious. She caught and held his eye. "All kidding aside, I still want to make love with you. I want you - you, Samuel Guthrie - inside me. Do you want me, too?"

Sam gulped, but realized he owed the girls - and himself - absolute honesty. "I said it before, Dani, and I'll say it again. I want you, and I think I'm about ready to show that. So, yes, if you're sure, I'm sure, too."
