Mercy came down briefly for a plate of food, carrying it back to her room. Sunshine ate and showered in record time and was out the door. Finally, with something to do, the ladies were more than enthusiastic to carry out their roles. I was left all alone with my thoughts. I intended to catch up with my writing, but blood was buzzing with anticipation of what was to come, but I could not master the energy and creativity that was involved in the process.
Despite having barely done anything to my brother, I felt a trickling of peace invade my body as I walked down the beach. The sun was out and blazing, but a strong, cool breeze mitigated any excess warmth, making it a perfect day. The bright sun rays reflected off the shimmering waters as the waves playfully crashed against the shoes before quickly retreating. A flock of seagulls was flying around the area, scavenging for food, while a pod of dolphins whistled in the distance. The entire scene unfolding in front of me was nothing short of ethereal. I wanted to stay in that moment forever, not just for the breathtaking scenery but for the unusual peace of mind I was experiencing.
When Sunshine finally made it back home at eight pm, I was still on the beach. She and Mercy were in tow, their hands filled with what appeared to be a picnic set up. They worked silently, putting down the mat before laying down an extensive spread she must have spent a lot of time collecting. There were different types of cold meats, cheese, fruits, and at least a dozen bottles of my Cabernet Sauvignon collection. I liked those bottles, but held my tongue. I was more intrigued by the camaraderie that my two housemates were displaying.
Although the sun was long gone, the water still shimmered under the starry nights, its depths no longer inviting, just beguiling. There was lingering warmth that made the idea of having a picnic at night slightly more tolerable. Food was being served, and I was not ungrateful enough to complain about the setting. Once they had finished setting up, they settled down, leaving an open spot for me between the two of them, and up until that point, I had thought nothing of it. It wasn't anything spoken, it was like an understanding that had somehow unlocked something deep within.
We ate in comfort and drank in comfortable silence, satisfied with watching the dark ocean waters crash against the shores. Most animals were silent, save for crickets, which were out in full force, filling the air with their call. Once the small bites and fruits were over, Mercy collected all the dishes and put them in a basket, which she handed to Sunshine, who had been busy cleaning up food crumbs. When they both got on their feet, I did the same, eager to have a shower and settle into my war bed. I did not manage to get off my ground before Sunshine's firm hand pushed me back down.
"Just wait here, we are going to get warm blankets and a projector screen so we can watch movies on the beach."
I spotted that look again in Mercy's eyes as she explained the situation to me. I nodded only because I wanted to get away from whatever emotion was reflected in both their eyes. Maybe a cool breeze was exactly what they needed to calm down. Half an hour later, I was lying on an air mattress covered with a woolen blanket, watching the other woman. Both women had decided that I made a better pillow than the ones that had been brought, and that innocent gesture was all the confirmation I needed.
I said nothing, choosing to enjoy the moment of silence before all heel was let loose by whatever weird proposition they had. It did not take a genius to get he general gist of whatever was discussed between them in my absence. Their combined warmth cocooned me and melted any resistance from my body. If they were willing to play nice, I was more than willing to accommodate their unusual requests. Not that I hated having both of them in my arms, if anything, I felt the initial stirring of lust, which I pushed down.
The movie was a bit on the nose for me, given that the three women were one more bad break from dating each other, which must have been the reason they chose. The film was like a child's introduction to polyandry, closeted edition. Maybe I was simply overthinking the entire situation on account of having two women wrapped up in my arms. Once the movie was over, I was up and out of that mattress before they tried prolonging the experience.
My body was already bussing with cravings I couldn't satisfy at that moment and my pussy was on the verge of dripping. I never considered Sunshine's physical prowess until the second she scooped me up mid-run and spun around before bringing both of us to a stop. I had not intended to run, but the moment I was up on my feet, the two followed simultaneously. Running away had been a knee-jerk reaction, however, when Sunshine caught me it unlocked something deeply primal within me and with it came an almost painful surge of delicious neediness that had the walls of my vagina contracting as if trying to contain the very air around me.
Mercy caught up to us and took our position. I was greatly disadvantaged on account of my being held with my feet literally off the ground. I could get out of her hold if I wanted to, but I did not have any desire to hurt her, so I remained still. Mercy stood on the tips of her toes and planted a short, loud kiss on my lips. Whatever knee-jerk trauma response I had that had me shrinking back when faced with affection, drowned in my hot, wet core. I wanted both of them more than I could even properly comprehend.
Sunshine finally let me down for a second before claiming my lips. Unlike Mercy, she was more firm and demanding, her hands found purchase at the back of my head, and she used them to guide my head closer to hers, which was impossible considering her tongue was in my mouth. She only stopped when Mercy moaned, obviously feeling left out. I was rarely shocked by anything, even before our little kiss your friend game, I had already had an inkling that they may have reached some compromise with me. However, I took a step back as I took in the unbelievable scene unfolding in front of me. Sunshine attacked Mercy's lips with passion, and Mercy responded with the same energy.
It seemed I had an inflated sense of self-worth because my deduction couldn't have been further from the truth. They hadn't reached a consensus because of their mutual affection for me. No, they had found common ground in a mutual attraction to each other. Watching them making out eroded any sense of self-worth had in that moment, and had I not taken the opportunity to bolt while they were distracted, I would have joined them. I closed my door just as Sunshine reached it, and she banged for a few seconds before walking away. I had a long, cold shower before climbing into bed exhausted.
