Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 01

By: YDB95



"Okay, class dismissed!" With a cheerful wave, Kate signaled to her ballet students -- a dozen girls and three boys -- off to their locker rooms.

"Great job, everybody!" added Seth, her co-teacher, clapping his hands in encouragement. "Recital's in a week, don't forget!" Chattering among themselves, several of the girls and at least one of the boys cast longing looks at Seth in his black leggings and tight gray top as they made their way out of the room. Kate looked once again for a reaction from Seth, but he was professional as ever. No surprise, she admitted, and of course it was very much for the best that he wasn't interested in the kids like that. Now, if only she could get him to look at her the way the girls looked at him...

Picking up her water bottle for a drink, Kate flashed her widest grin at Seth. "Great class today, wasn't it?"

"It was, it really was," Seth agreed. "They're such a great bunch. I can't wait to see how the recital turns out. He reached over for his own bottle. "I wish I'd been that dedicated to the craft when I was their age." 

"Same here," Kate said. With a shyer smile she added, "It's been great working with you on them, too. I wish we had more guys in dance."

"Thanks! That's sweet." Seth capped his bottle and looked to the teachers' changing rooms. Though Kate was dressed in a leotard and tights as usual and standing with her legs crossed to accentuate her curves, he had once again only looked her in the eye as he spoke. "Well, then. See you tomorrow?"

"Of course!" And she remembered to smile through her disappointment as he turned to the changing rooms. She'd appreciated his professionalism ever since they'd started working together on the rehearsals weeks before, but this was becoming frustrating. All that gentle flirting and he hadn't even invited her for a drink after class. 

"He MUST be gay!" Kate groused to her flatmate Julie and Julie's boyfriend Scott over wine later that evening. "I didn't assume so at first because that's the stereotype about guys who like ballet, and then I didn't want to think so because he's so cute and such a great guy. But he must be! A month working together now and nothing!"

"I'll bet you still haven't tried asking him out yourself, have you?" Julie asked.

"I shouldn't have to!" Kate whined. "He must be able to see how interested I am."

"Maybe he's desensitized to that, being around so many women all the time," Scott suggested. 

"Good point," Julie said. "He's probably had lots of attention from girls ever since he took up ballet, and that's probably going back to before he was even attracted to them."

"If he is attracted to them," Kate sniffed. 

"Kate!" Julie was just as frustrated as her friend now. "Not everybody picks up on flirting, and some guys are shy. How can you tell if you don't ask?"

"He's seen me in a leotard every day for a month," Kate grumbled. "What's to be shy about after that?"

"Maybe he's overcompensating," Scott said gently.

"That could be exactly it, Kate," Julie agreed. "It could just as easily be that as it could be he's gay."

"Overcompensating for what?" Kate asked. 

"It's something we learned about in gender studies back in undergrad," Julie said. Turning to Scott with a smile, she continued, "I'm glad to see he remembers, too. When you get involved in a sport or a hobby that's traditionally identified with the other sex, a lot of people are going to accuse you of just wanting to be surrounded by guys if you're a girl or by girls if you're a guy. So just to show everyone that you're serious about your love for the game or the dance or whatever, you clamp down on your attraction to people you work with even when it really is there. And that makes a lot of people think you're not interested in the others at all even when in reality you are sometimes."

Kate thought about it. "Okay," she admitted. "That makes sense. I remember back in middle school I used to wonder about some of the boys who took ballet with us, and of course some of them really were just there to check us out. Not all, but a lot. Did that happen to you too, Julie, when you were working with the football team?"

"Yes," deadpanned Scott, who'd been a halfback on their college team while Julie was a trainer. He was now an assistant coach at the university where Julie and Kate were working on their grad degrees.

"Thanks a lot," Julie said, punching Scott lightly on the arm with a laugh. "Seriously, though. I didn't realize it at the time, Kate, but it did happen. You remember the jokes, 'gee, it must be great to see all those big sweaty guys off to the locker room, do you ever join 'em? Hur hur hur!' At first there was a lot of eye candy, but I was there because I loved the game. And I made up my mind early on to be all business about it."

"Until Scott came along," Kate said.

"Yeah!" Julie grinned, looking at Scott as she did. "But he didn't dare ask me out until our third season working together, because I did such a good job of playing it cool. So that could be what this Seth guy is up to also."

"That makes sense," Kate admitted. "So how do I get through to him without waiting three years?"

"Show up naked," Scott deadpanned.

Kate and Julie both laughed, and each conceded that would most likely work. Then the conversation turned back to more subtle strategies, but it soon became clear that Julie and Scott saw no way for Kate to get what she wanted without asking for it. And that, she conceded, was really only fair. This was what Kate liked having Julie and Scott around for, she knew. She may have been the brainiest of the trio, but going all the way back to freshman year in college, Julie had been the more worldly of the pair. Every time there was an issue with dating and sex, Julie had been the giver while Kate had listened carefully. She'd even nursed Kate through that long sore weekend sophomore year when Kate had lost her virginity and had spent the next day agonizing over its lack of the fairy-tale ending she had hoped for. As for Scott, there was nothing like having a man in the house for learning to understand men. Like many football players, Scott had been roped into taking ballet, so that offered common ground as well. 

Kate knew she was now a bit old for fairy tales. As she lay in bed later that night, Scott's joke continued to both amuse and titillate her. She knew better than to take it seriously, of course, but the idea of really throwing herself at Seth had a certain appeal. She had always been such a well-behaved young lady, always the one girl at the party who'd dance with all the boys but nothing more, no matter how wild her imagination may have run when it came to some of her male friends along the way. Many was the time she'd wondered after the fact how things might have turned out if for once she had let her hair down. And it had been quite some time since she had even tried. Between dance and studies, she had been much too busy for dating lately. And there had definitely been a lot of nights lately when she had longed for some crazy abandon with a special someone. Though still a straight-laced girl, she smoldered underneath like any other liberated twentysomething woman, and that itch was getting harder to scratch by herself all the time.

That feeling had escalated quite a bit ever since Seth had appeared on her radar about a month before. 

When Kate had applied for the instructor's job at the ballet school last year, dating had been the last thing on her mind: she had just wanted a break from the day to day grind of studying all the time and a chance to share her lifelong love of dance. When she'd been tapped to lead the rehearsals for the year's big recital last month, she'd been delighted but slightly apprehensive about having a partner. Kate was used to teaching solo, and she hadn't felt she needed the help. "It's too big a job for one person," the director had told her. "Your new partner is also a grad student, just moving to town, and comes with great recommendations from other people I've compared notes with."

"I'm sure she's great," Kate had said, "But I feel funny about co-teaching with her when I've never even met her before."

"She's a he, Kate," the director had replied. "And I'm told he's a great dancer and a really nice guy besides."

And he was both. For just over a month now, Kate and Seth had made a remarkably effective team in keeping the kids focused on their practice, five days a week. They had also become fast friends in the little spare time they had just before and just after class, comparing notes on their studies and more interesting matters like music and movies. He was always completely professional, with nary an off-color comment or even a lingering look at Kate in her revealing dancewear that she was aware of. Which had been wonderful at first and was still appreciated now. 

The trouble was that Kate had come to enjoy their comfortable conversations immensely, and for a couple of weeks now she had longed for more than just talking. She had come to live for those few minutes of easy banter when she could admire him in his own dancewear, so lithe and graceful and secure in his manhood. She had even taken to hoping she would catch him checking her out for a change, but it hadn't happened. 

Kate had tried more than once to turn the conversation to matters more serious. It had started with the standard litany of clues that she was single -- living with her best friend from college and the best friend's boyfriend, with no mention of a boyfriend of her own; telling him she'd had a boring weekend of studying and nothing more; mentioning an ex here and there but never a current beau -- and Seth had responded in kind and left it at that. When that had gone nowhere, Kate had thought of introducing racier topics into their conversation, such as how she would have reacted to having a male instructor when she was the kids' age. She even had the big line rehearsed -- "He'd have had plenty of time in my dreams at night!" -- but it had just seemed too risky. 

Now, though, "risky" was starting to look like a pretty good idea. Night after night alone in her bed while Julie and Scott were going at it in the next room (indeed Kate could hear Julie moaning passionately even as she tried to get to sleep that night), and meanwhile Seth was right there for the taking if only he could see what was before his eyes. But he couldn't. Julie had a point, Kate finally accepted. It was so much easier to let guys take the lead, and she felt terrified thinking of sticking her own neck out...until it occurred to her that Seth might only be just as scared as she was. There was no denying, she also admitted, that in the twenty-first century there was no good reason why guys should always have to make the first move anymore. 

Perhaps, Kate concluded, it was time she forced him to take a closer look.

It took Kate a long time to get to sleep once she'd hatched her plan, because she was excited and horny and deliciously terrified all at once. Sleep, though, she eventually did, and she was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when she left for the dance studio the next afternoon. To save time on her plan, she had put her long brown hair up in a bun before leaving rather than doing it at the studio like she usually did, and the breeze was cool on her bare neck. Just as well, Kate reasoned, if that would bring a bit more color into her cheeks for the big moment. 

By the time she arrived at the studio -- fifteen minutes or so before her usual arrival time, and she estimated at least ten before Seth's -- Kate found the chill hadn't helped. She was burning in anticipation and nervousness, and she could feel her face flushing. This was so unlike the well-behaved young woman she always was...but that, she reasoned, probably had something to do with all those nights she'd been on her own lately. 

The studio had students' locker rooms down the hall, and two private changing rooms for teachers: one on the left and one on the right at the back of the room. Seth usually arrived earlier than Kate, and she had noticed that by habit he usually took the one on the right. Even on days when she got there first, she had taken to using the one on the left. Today, though, with the studio still empty when she arrived, Kate turned right. There was little time to waste, as Seth might show up at any moment and there would be no second chance to catch him off guard, she knew. She didn't relish the wait in the state she would be in, both physically and mentally, but at least it wouldn't be long. 

Kate closed the changing room door behind her, but didn't lock it. She set her backpack down and looked at herself in the mirror. There was still time to back out and just ask him out like a grown-up. Quickly Kate reminded herself, for what felt like the hundredth time that day, how Seth had rebuffed every step in that direction so far. No, this required drastic measures. The worst that could happen was a moment's embarrassment with a guy she was sure she could trust. The best that could happen was that he might well be in her arms that very night. 

With that happy possibility ringing out in her nervous mind, Kate bit the bullet and pulled her sweatshirt and t-shirt off in one. She kicked off her shoes at the same time, and unbuttoned her jeans without looking in the mirror again to discourage herself. Out of habit, she folded the jeans carefully and set them beside the chair in the corner. 'Don't look in the mirror,' she reminded herself silently as she reached back and unfastened her bra. She had reminded herself time and again that Seth would not see all the imperfections she would see in herself; rather he would see a beautiful woman who wanted him. But that didn't make it any more desirable for her to have to examine herself up close for the long minutes that were to follow. Despite her best efforts, Kate did catch a glimpse of her 34B's -- just small enough that she could have pursued a professional dance career had she been willing to practice fourteen hours a day -- falling free as she shrugged off her bra straps. 'No obsessing about those, he already knows the size after all!' Leaning over to pull off her socks gave her an excuse to not check herself out any further. 

It was ever so tempting to at least keep her panties on until the last moment, but Kate forced herself not to. She also succeeded in looking everywhere but the mirror as she sat nude on the chair and waited for a sound from outside. There was no turning back now, she mused, no time to get her clothes back on even if she did wimp out. Although she could still lock the door...

At long last -- a minute and a half at least after she had finished undressing -- Kate heard the studio door swing open. She had been careful to turn the lights on so Seth wouldn't notice the light under the changing room door, but now it occurred to her that he might wonder why the light was on with nobody there. No time to worry about that now...but what if it wasn't Seth? Kate looked at the doorknob and fought down the urge to reach up and lock it. There were still a few seconds to spare...but then she would always know she had come this far only to wimp out in the end. Her heart pounding in her throat, Kate stood up, took her bag in one hand, and willed herself to look confident. She struck a pose that she hoped would make it look like she was in the midst of changing, while still putting her body on full display. 

The doorknob turned. Kate took a deep breath and pretended to be rummaging in her backpack.

Seth flung the door wide open. In that split second Kate realized to her horror that if any of the kids were already in the studio, they would get an eyeful of her body as well. So she looked appropriately shocked when Seth caught his glimpse of Kate in her full glory. In that moment everything seemed to happen at once: Seth yelped in embarrassment and pulled the door shut -- but not before Kate was aware that no one but him had seen her, or before she instinctively pulled her backpack against her body even though she had secretly wanted him to see everything, or before she could sense that he probably liked what he did see. Or maybe that last one was her imagination running away with her, but in that delightfully naughty moment she was sure of it all the same.

It was over before Kate was fully aware of what happened, even though it had gone exactly as she had planned. From behind the door she could hear Seth retreat to the other changing room. Now she locked the door. Embarrassed but not ashamed, she hurriedly pulled on her tights, leotard and slippers. It was most important that she be present and looking comfortable when Seth emerged for class. No need to make things any more awkward by having him think she was spooked. 

A few of the girls were already warming up when Kate emerged. With the thrill of new intimacy still tickling her insides, she joined the girls and engaged them in small talk with a smile. When Seth came out, he looked nervous and more bashful than ever. "Hi, Seth!" she said cheerfully and casually.

Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 02



Seth stepped gingerly into the studio to join Kate. "Hi, Kate. How are you?" He sounded awfully nervous, but not unhappy. This came as a relief to Kate -- she wouldn't want him feeling unhappy about what he had just seen, after all. 

"Wonderful, thanks." She gave him a knowing smile, hoping he'd see that she was not uncomfortable with him. Indeed, she felt more alive and contented than she'd felt in weeks, but there was a limit to how much she could share right then. "Ready for class, everyone?" The kids -- nearly all of them present by now -- took their places and Kate stepped to the front. Seth joined her but, she thought, looked a bit like he wished he didn't have to. 'Why should he be embarrassed when I was the one who was nude?' she wondered. But there was nothing for her but to show him she wasn't upset. 

And throughout the class, 'not upset' was an understatement. She felt positively giddy with the secret she and Seth now shared. Kate had always been on the shy side throughout her life, so she had always found being seen nude an incomparable rush for as long as she could recall. Even sex itself wasn't nearly as deliciously naughty, since it only came after the clothes were already off. That thrill of being seen without her clothes had always been like nothing else at all. But it had never been quite so thrilling as this. Seth -- shy, perfect gentlemanly Seth -- now shared a bond with her that could never be broken, even if he wanted it to be! Not that Kate gave any thought to the chance that he might want it to be. She was too busy savoring the wonderful embarrassment she had inflicted upon herself, and she wished the pins and needles would never go away. 

Kate took her teaching seriously as always, and she focused on the girls and boys as they made their way through the rehearsal. But she found a spring in her step throughout the hour as she anticipated whatever might come next. Whatever that might be, at least she had changed things once and for all. Seth, for his part, looked less uncomfortable as the hour wore on. As usual he was all business as well, helping the girls with their poses without ever touching them, providing plenty of encouragement. Whenever Kate had occasion to make eye contact with him, she thought she sensed his nervousness dissipating a bit each time. By the end of class, he looked more or less happy. But not as happy as she was still feeling with the exhilaration from earlier on.

When at last the class was over with, Kate was elated. "Great job, everybody!" she said, clapping her hands. "Six days to recital! Let's keep up the good work!" She turned to Seth in anticipation of his usual encouragements, but he only waved silently to the kids and took a big swig of water from his bottle. Then he turned and headed for the changing rooms even before the girls and boys had even cleared the studio. 

So he was still going to play hard to get, Kate thought. Well, I can play too. 

She did not accost him in the changing rooms, though she did toy with the idea of once again leaving hers unlocked. Hoping to catch Seth alone when he was done, she showered quickly, keeping an ear out for the water running in the other changing room so she would know when he was done. She was so quick at it that she did not have time to wash properly and was a bit worried about smelling funny when she was dressed again and leaving. But she did manage to beat Seth to the punch, and she could hear him still rustling around in the other changing room as she turned out the studio lights. 

Kate lingered by the studio door until she heard Seth's door open at last. She was ready with a smile when he emerged. "Hey there!" she said. "Cat got your tongue today?"

"What? No! Not at all. I was just, you know, before class...I mean, Kate, you know I always take that room, and haven't you ever heard of locking doors?"

This was not the reaction Kate had expected. She opted to play it cool. "Oh dear, Seth, did I embarrass you?"

"Did you embarrass me! Geez, Kate! What is up with you all of a sudden? Is this your idea of a joke? I mean, what kind of joke is it, anyway?"

They had reached the outside door. Kate lived down the street, Seth lived up. Rather than answer his question, she brushed his hand with hers. "Same time tomorrow, if you're interested!" she said in sultry whisper, and turned to go without giving him a look at her face to wonder about. 

Now, embarrassment did set in. 'What kind of man gets offended when you give him a free look at your body?' she wondered. 'The same kind who already couldn't read all your other clues,' she answered herself. 'Of course this wouldn't work either.' Kate was pretty happy with her parting words to him, though. If there was any attraction buried under all that indifference, now she would know for sure tomorrow. And she'd get another rush out of the deal. 

Julie and Scott were just getting dinner on the table when Kate arrived. Having gotten over her disappointment, Kate was once again glowing with the memory of the afternoon's thrill. "Boy, you look pleased with yourself!" Julie remarked as soon as Kate was in the door.

"I am."

"Wow, progress with the guy?" Scott asked hopefully.

"You could say that," Kate agreed. 

"He asked you out!"

"No."

"You asked him out! Finally, I knew you could do it."

"No."

"You had sex in the locker room?"

"You're getting warmer," Kate said with a sly smile. And she left it at that, jaunting off to her room to let them wonder just what their prim and straight-laced friend had done. 

True to her offer to Seth, Kate was early for practice again the next afternoon. Once again she took the right-hand changing room and did not lock the door. This time there was no angst as she got down to business removing her clothes, and there was time enough to fold them neatly beside the chair. She sat for a minute or two awaiting Seth, but soon got restless and stood up to fish her hairbrush out of her clothes bag. If he showed up this time, she reasoned, it would be a bit more casual if he found her doing something one might expect in a changing room like brushing her hair. 

She did not have to brush for long before she heard the studio door swing open. 'Look casual,' she reminded herself, and continued brushing, even forcing herself now to look at her naked body in the mirror as she did. Not so bad, she admitted to herself, now that she was getting used to spending time with nothing on. Still, she was glad she did not have long to scrutinize herself before the doorknob turned. 

Seth was grinning this time as he stepped inside the room and shut the door quickly behind him. Willing away all shame, Kate set the brush down and turned to give him an unimpeded look at every inch of her body. He admired her, but kept his hands very much to himself. He looked about to say something, but for a minute or so he did not.

Finally he asked, "Why, Kate?"

"I'm no good at subtle flirting," Kate chuckled, her skin on fire with that same combination of embarrassment and delight that she had felt the day before. 

"You...you don't have to be good at it, you're beautiful! I..." His voice trailed away. 

"Thank you, Seth."

"Same time tomorrow?"

Kate laughed. "Sure if you want, but you know, it doesn't have to be just this!" She reached her hands out to take his, but Seth looked unsure as to what to do. Kate put her hands back down.

"Oh, good," Seth said breathlessly. "I'll...I'll think about that!" With a last appreciative look up and down Kate's body and a respectful nod, he turned and let himself out. Kate jumped into the shower stall as he did, in case some of the kids were now out in the studio. 

Seth looked more at ease during the class this time, and Kate felt more so as well. Once again she was alive with naughty delight at the new game, but now that she knew Seth was enjoying it as well, she was once again hungering for more. Class was no time to dwell on that, though, and she kept her attention focused on the kids for the most part. She did, though, steal a glance or two at Seth to see if she could discern a hard-on. He had what looked like a t-shirt tied loosely around his waist today, so Kate suspected she had gotten through to him somewhat at least. Hardly fair to give him that to deal with in a room full of kids, she admonished herself; but all was fair in love and war.

This time he was upbeat during the usual reminder about the recital. "Five more days!" he said with a grin. "I hope you're as excited about it as Kate and I are!"

The kids gave their good natured responses -- "We are," "Yes!" "Yeah," and more, all in the usual jumble as they made their way out of the studio. Kate lingered by the barre, waving so long to the kids and wondering what Seth's next move might be. 

He turned to Kate with a shy, nervous smile of the variety with which she had always addressed him until the day before. "So," he said, "Shower time?"

"I should think so," Kate said. Silently she mouthed the words, "Door is unlocked," and she made for the changing rooms. 

Hurriedly and hopefully, Kate peeled off her clothes and stepped into the shower. Being in no hurry this time, she soaped her body up and enjoyed the hot water. With the tap running, it was impossible to tell if Seth had the shower running in the other room, so Kate listened for the door. Nothing. With every odd noise that floated in from the studio, she grinned and looked at the shower curtain, waiting for him to rip it away and provide him with another thrill. Maybe he would even give her a view of her own to share. But it never happened. Kate at least had a nice long shower to enjoy after the long practice. She enjoyed it immensely, realizing along the way that she was coming to enjoy spending so much time in the nude. After it was done she toweled off, again taking her time in case Seth turned up for another show. He didn't. At last Kate admitted defeat and put her clothes back on, and packed up to go. 

Seth was waiting for her out in the studio. The lights were out, so only the glow of the hallway lights illuminated him. "Hey there," he said.

"You missed the show," Kate deadpanned.

"Bad case of stage fright," Seth said.

"Stage fright?! You weren't the one on display!" 

"Not yet anyway," Seth admitted. "But fair is fair, isn't it?"

"You mean I just missed a show of my own?" Kate was disappointed, though not wholly surprised.

"Maybe not for long," Seth said. "Same time tomorrow?"

Now Kate was growing impatient. "Haven't I already said you didn't have to settle for that?"

Seth stepped up close and took Kate in his arms. "Yes, yes you did!" And to her delight, he kissed her, a passionate open-mouthed kiss. Kate's heart beat faster with the thrill of his arms around her at last and his hard cock pressing against her body. It was worth the wait. But it was fleeting, as Seth let go and stepped back almost before Kate was fully aware of what had happened. "Same time tomorrow?" he whispered to her.

"Yes, but you'd better not just look this time," Kate warned. 

Seth smiled. "We'll see."



Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 03



On the walk home, Kate suspected she might well be glowing. She certainly felt that way, and she fully expected Julie and Scott to notice and ask more nosy questions. Fortunately (or not), they weren't home when Kate arrived. So she made dinner for herself and ate in pleasant silence. After dinner she was still much too excited with the memory of the kiss to think about doing anything serious, so she poured a glass of wine and settled on the living room couch. 

The television was on, but no channel could hold Kate's attention against the memory of Seth's embrace and the promise of more tomorrow. Again and again she could sense the memory of his had body close against hers at long last, his hard cock straining to break out and poke her so delightfully below, the thrill of having been stark naked in his presence twice now. Nothing else had any chance of holding her attention. As the wine lowered her inhibitions, Kate could resist no longer. She uncurled her legs and stretched out on the couch, and unbuttoned her jeans. 

For all her interest in Seth, Kate had never fantasized about him before. It felt too much like sullying a pure feeling of affection, or maybe she had just never believed things would come to this with him anyway. Whatever the reason, she had focused her fantasies elsewhere up to now. But with the ice broken, there was no inhibition at all as Kate reached down and imagined it was Seth's fingers tickling her vulva instead of her own, that he was lying there nude and rock hard on the couch with her, easing one finger inside...

Kate's breathing had grown so heavy she was barely aware of the key turning in the door. It registered with her just in time to pull her hand out of her pants, but not in time to re-button them. So she hastily pulled her sweater down over the waistband and hoped Julie and Scott wouldn't notice. She crossed her legs, doing her best to ignore the moist longing between them, and sipped her wine as incongruously as she could.

"Kate! You look happy." 

"Hi Jewels, Scott. Yes, I am happy." She pointed to the wine bottle and hoped they might opt to take it into their room.

They didn't. Scott poured himself a glass and sat beside Kate on the couch. "Getting an early start on the drink? No wonder you're happy."

"Mm, I'm not sure if that's it," Julie told him. Kate gave Julie a look, but it didn't stop her bigmouthed friend. "Or maybe you're drinking to celebrate? More progress with Seth?"

At least that was steering the conversation into safer waters. "Yes," Kate said. "There has been progress."

"Progress from yesterday, when you didn't have sex in the changing room but it was something like that?" Julie recalled. "Does that mean today you did have sex in the changing room?"

"No, but we might tomorrow," Kate said brazenly, pleased with herself now for having not been caught with her pants down. 

Scott nearly spat out his wine. "Wow. I mean, I'm sorry, I know it's none of my business, but wow!"

"Yeah, what's gotten into you, Kate?" Julie asked. "Or is the problem that Seth still hasn't gotten into you?"

After the laughter died down, Kate admitted, "Maybe that is it. Sexual frustration will do funny things to us. Even quiet conservative little ol' me." She thought of elaborating, but was enjoying the enigma she was creating too much to do that, and took a long sip of wine instead.

"So just how did you get through to him?" Seth asked. "If you have actually, I mean."

"Oh, I have," Kate acknowledged. "And I owe it to you, Scott. I took your advice."

"What advice?"

"You said 'Show up naked.'"

Julie howled with more laughter, then stopped when Kate didn't join her. "You're not serious, Kate?"

"I am, and it's working. He's got some shyness issues, but we've nearly worked through those. Today he kissed me, after class."

"Whoa, wait a minute," Scott interrupted. "You've been naked together, but a kiss is still a big deal?"

"Well, we haven't been naked together yet. Just me." Kate felt herself blushing, but she felt more proud than embarrassed. 

"Kate!" Julie screeched. "What if it's all just a trick to get a no-strings-attached look at your body? Don't you feel used?"

"Not at all," Kate said. "I like it, actually. It's a huge turn on, just standing there and having him see everything. Besides, he did finally kiss me today."

"Wow," Scott said. "Kate, I like your approach."

"You're not helping, Scott!" Julie complained. 

"Julie, what's to be angry about? She's happy!"

Yes, she certainly is happy, Kate thought to herself not long afterward when Julie and Scott had retired to their room. Not wanting to risk being caught again, Kate followed suit and went to her own room. With the door safely locked -- and locking it gave her a chuckle -- Kate hastily pulled off her jeans, which she had never re-fastened. Feeling a bit too warm now, she also removed her sweater but left her bra and panties on. Her bed was just high enough off the floor for Kate to take her favorite position, which she had used at least since middle school: bent over the edge, elbows resting on the mattress with one leg on the bed and the other over the side. Once again she conjured images of Seth there in bed with her as she began grinding against the edge of the bed. 

The room was dead silent, and Kate having taken a few minutes to wash the wine glasses, she could hear Julie and Scott going at it in the next room already. She paused long enough in her play to think of putting on some music to drown out the noise, but promptly thought better of it. If Julie could moan and screech, so could she! Kate was accustomed to masturbating as silently as possible thanks to years of communal living, so voicing her pleasure out loud did not come naturally to her. But as she humped the mattress, she caught herself holding her breath now and again to avoid moaning out loud, and once she was aware of that, opting not to hold her breath soon became such an easy choice she did not have to remind herself. Soon she was expressing her pleasant sensation quite boisterously as she imagined Seth tenderly undressing her, his hands caressing every inch of her body and hers touching him as well, the rubbing becoming less ticklish and more firm and intimate and intense, and Seth teasing her nipples and pushing himself gently inside and rocking back and forth into her again and again...

Kate came so hard Julie and Scott heard her yelping in the next room, where they were done with their own lovemaking. "Wow, this Seth guy must be something else," Julie snickered.

"He's not here, is he?" Scott asked. 

"That's just it, he's not. Just imagine how loud he'll make her scream when he is!"

"If she ever gets him in bed, you mean," Scott said.

"Oh, she will," Julie said. "I've never seen her go this hard after anyone. No way she'll give up now."

Kate awoke hours later for a mid-night pee, courtesy of the wine. After returning from the bathroom, she removed her underwear and opened the dresser to retrieve her pajamas...but then reconsidered and got into bed nude instead. She was enjoying that state more all the time, and was soon off to a sound sleep unencumbered by clothing or inhibitions. 

The next afternoon found Kate wondering just how she could top yesterday's show with Seth, or if she would even have to try. She arrived at ballet practice undecided about just what to try next, figuring it would come to her in the heat of the moment. There was no question that there would be heat in the moment, for she was smoldering down below as she made her way down the hall to the studio. 

To her surprise, the light was on when she arrived. Kate checked her watch: she wasn't late, it was the usual beat-Seth-to-the-punch time she'd taken to aiming for. The studio was empty. Kate concluded that a previous class must have neglected to turn the lights off. No big deal. With an eager jaunt in her step, she made for the right-hand changing room, thinking nothing of the fact that the door was closed. 

Kate was aware of another person's presence in the room before she was fully aware that the light was on inside. Light, movement and bare flesh came into focus one on top of another, and Kate stepped back with a jolt. With a mild gasp, instinctively she began to pull the door shut, before she realized the person in the room wasn't rushing to cover up, indeed that he was welcoming her presence. It was Seth. 

Seth, standing nude by the shower stall, with a grin. "Hi, Kate," he said.

"Hi..." Kate was so relieved and titillated and overcome with sensory overload of desire and tension that she barely remembered to shut the door behind her. Shut it, though, she did, and locked it for good measure before turning her attention back to Seth's lithe firm body, his face a wide grin of vulnerable welcome, his cock standing at attention just for her. "N...nice view!" she finally said.

"Fair's fair," Seth said. Like Kate the day before, he made no effort to cover anything up. He even seemed to welcome her hungry attention to his dick. Kate longed to play with it, but class was beginning so shortly. And she remembered how he hadn't touched her at all yesterday. They would both know when the time was right, she trusted; but it wasn't yet.

She would not, however, be deprived of a naked hug. "Well, I guess I'd better change for practice too," she said matter-of-factly as she set her bag on the chair. "Fair's fair, as you say." It occurred to her now that although he'd seen her nude twice, he had never seen her undress. Now she welcomed the opportunity to do so. She was wearing a white cardigan sweater, matching denim skirt and a blue and white striped blouse. The sweater came off first, and her face broke into a salacious grin as she draped it over the chair, never taking her eyes off Seth, who was still rock hard and still focused on her. Next she unbuttoned and unzipped her skirt and slid it down over her hips, kicking it under the chair in a graceful swoop of her ankle. For the blouse she would have to break eye contact, but maybe she could draw him in with it. She raised her arms. "Help me off with this?" she invited Seth.

He stood up and did as directed, and Kate could feel his pleasant heat as he pulled her blouse gently off. Though still partially clothed, Kate once again felt the rush of sweet naughtiness as she stood before him in her underwear. "So beautiful," Seth whispered as he looked her up and down, adding to her intense pleasure. 

"And I'm not even done," she added saucily. Wiggling a bit to relieve the sexual tension but also to tease Seth, she reached back and unhooked her bra. Slowly she pulled the straps down and shrugged it off one side, then the other, finally plunking it firmly on the chair. With a final exultant flair that was miles from her reluctant private strip just two days before, Kate slid all her fingers inside her panties and pulled them uninhibitedly down. Nude at last, she sauntered up close to Seth and put her arms around him, not waiting for an invitation. 

"Oh, Kate!" he exhaled as they were wrapped in an explosion of skin-on-skin intensity. It took a second, but he returned her hug and squeezed her appreciatively. The embrace was short but sweet, and his firm lovely body against hers was all that Kate had hoped for. It was only the knowledge that soon the students would arrive and it wouldn't do for them to see both teachers emerging from the same changing room that gave her the strength to let go of Seth. He must have had the same thought, for he said, "I guess we'd better hurry up and get dressed."

"Yes, let's," Kate agreed. Putting on her dance clothes, and especially watching Seth do the same, was nearly as pleasurable as undressing had been -- such wonderfully casual intimacy! Both were presentable before long, but Kate took it upon herself to emerge first so Seth would be free to do something about the erection he still sported. Poor guy would have a hard time hiding that in class now, she mused. 

A few of the girls had already arrived in the studio when Kate emerged. Luckily, she managed to engage them in conversation facing away from the mirror long enough for Seth to emerge undetected. Once he was out, Kate reasoned that some of the kids had seen her come out of the right-hand changing room and some others had seen Seth emerge from the same, but they'd be fine as long as the kids didn't compare notes. It hadn't occurred to her before that the kids might have wondered if anything was developing between her and Seth. But given kids' propensity for talking about such things, she guessed probably not. 

Class was nearly like old times now, with Kate and Seth on equal footing in terms of tension and secrets. With just four more days to the recital, the kids were all on the ball and practice was a breeze. But for all that, it seemed to drag as Kate could hardly wait to get back to the changing room with Seth, and from the looks of it he was feeling the same. When at last the hour was up, his usual words of encouragement rang truer than ever: "Great job, everybody! I'm going to love seeing you all at the show. Let's keep it up until then!"

"Let's keep it up?" Kate repeated with a grin as soon as the kids were off to the showers. 

"Well now, I don't know what you could be referring to," Seth replied. "But I'm ready for a shower. Aren't you?"

"Am I ever!" She hooked her arm through his and they walked together to the changing room. Seth locked the door behind him, and Kate had no reservations now about undressing. No need to put on a show this time; it was all about the shower. While Seth finished removing his clothes, Kate turned on the water and tested it with her hand. She liked her showers hot, and hoped Seth would be of like mind. 

He evidently was, for there were no complaints when he stepped under the water with her. Despite the narrow confines, they managed to both get their share of the spray. Seth went right to work on soaping himself up. Kate, though slightly disappointed that he kept his hands to himself, followed suit without complaint. She would draw him all the way out of his shell soon enough, that she knew. Instead she went to work on cleaning herself off, but she admired Seth's body throughout, thrilled to know he was also eyeing her. As usual Kate saved her hair for last, and as she rinsed out the last of the shampoo she opened her eyes to find Seth standing back, grinning again. 

Kate could restrain herself no longer, and threw her arms around him. "Mmm, a wet naked hug," she said. "Just what I needed."

"Didn't know it, but me too," Seth said.

Kate pulled back. "You didn't know it?" she repeated. 

"I didn't know it. I wouldn't have guessed. I'm not good at this sort of thing like you are, Kate, and I didn't realize what a turn-on this would be."

Kate laughed -- a relieved laugh. "Well I never considered myself good at this sort of thing either," she told him as she turned off the water and reached for her towel. "But I guess I am."

"Same time tomorrow?" Seth asked shyly. 

"Do you really need to ask at this point, Seth?"



Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 04



Kate was busy with her studies that night and well into the next afternoon. But an hour or so after lunch she could focus no longer on her books, and finally lay down her efforts to keep Seth off her mind. His bare skin had felt so wonderful against hers, and she knew now he was just stringing her along but she didn't care. She was enjoying the game, she knew she would get what she wanted soon enough, and along the way she was becoming a lot more comfortable with her body. 

With those thoughts in mind, Kate stood up from her desk and undressed. She had every intention of masturbating again, but by the time she had all her clothes off, she realized the time wasn't quite right. Standing nude by her bed, she looked around the room wondering what was next, and then knew. She walked around the small bare space between her bed and her dresser, unabashed and enjoying the air on every inch of her body. The path led to the full-length mirror in her closet door, where at long last Kate stopped to take a hard look at the body with which she had become so good at teasing Seth. 

Not bad, Kate allowed after looking herself up and down from her small firm breasts to her flat tummy (thanks to all the dancing) and on down to the classy wisps of hair flaring just a bit upward from between her thighs. It was too late in the season for tan lines, but there were a few red marks from her bra straps and a couple of acne scars and other imperfections here and there. These gave Kate some pause until she remembered there was nothing here Seth hadn't seen, and he still seemed enthralled with her. What a relief! 

There came a knock at the door. Julie, no doubt. "Come in!" Kate called with a confident smile, making no effort to cover anything up. 

It was Julie as Kate had assumed, and she was looking down at the utility bill as she walked in, thus not noticing right away that her friend was naked. "Hey, Kate, we need to divide up the – " Her voice broke off abruptly as she looked up, and she immediately pulled back. "Kate! Geez!"

"Julie, relax!" Kate came after her friend. "It's okay. I don't mind."

"You don't mind! Maybe I mind! What if that had been Scott at the door?"

Kate had to admit to herself that she hadn't thought of that. "Okay, that would be a problem," she admitted. "But it wasn't him, and you know, we're sisters! There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Julie looked her friend up and down, and laughed. "Kate. I just don't get what's happened to you. You used to be so conservative and shy, and now here you are prancing around your room naked and you don't even care who sees? Has this Seth guy brainwashed you?"

"No! It's just that I've had, I guess, an awakening. It's such a rush being seen like this, and the more it happens, the more I realize it's a good thing. The human body is so beautiful, and we act like we ought to be ashamed of it or something. And besides, it is my room."

"I guess," Julie admitted. "But you know, Kate, I do find it kind of weird all the same."

"And I find that sad, Julie. You have no idea how gloriously free I feel right now." Kate kicked up one heel and turned a pirouette for her friend. "It's a shame you can't feel that yourself." With a wicked grin she added, "And you know Scott would get a kick out of it."

"That's another thing, Kate. I'd rather you don't let Scott see you naked if you don't mind."

Now Kate was getting annoyed – did Julie expect Scott to barge into her room or what? Trying not to sound too defensive, she asked, "What are you afraid of, that he'll like what he sees?"

"Hate to break it to you, Kate, but Scott is a breast man. It's no contest." Julie was a generous 38C, so Kate couldn't argue with that. "But if he knows you're turning this place into a nudist camp, sooner or later he's going to want me to act like this too."

"It'd probably be good for your relationship if you were both more in touch with your bodies," Kate opined. "It's certainly done wonders for communicating between Seth and me."

"Seth isn't even your boyfriend yet, remember?"

"He will be, soon."

"And then will you keep your clothes on?"

"That makes no sense at all, Julie!" Now Kate was laughing, although due to the sour turn in the conversation she was also starting to wish she wasn't naked. But she refused to cover anything up. 

Julie turned to go. "I just hope this guy is worth you making such a fool of yourself, Kate." And she shut the door. 

Kate stood, still nude, in the middle of the room and thought about what had just happened. Though slightly embarrassed and very sorry for her uptight friend, she felt more turned on than ever. Maybe Julie would have been able to relax if she hadn't been hiding in her clothes! There was plenty of time yet before ballet, so Kate once again took her place on the edge of her bed and humped her way to two orgasms before curling up for a nap. 

She slept later than she had planned, and arrived at ballet slightly late. Class hadn't started yet when she blew in the studio door, but Seth was already dressed for rehearsal and was helping a couple of the girls with their warmup. He looked relieved to see Kate, and she was sure she sensed a bit of disappointment that they had missed the usual show with each other today. Kate thought with a smile that she would just have to make it up to him after class. She took the left hand dressing room for the first time in days, and hurriedly changed and put her hair up. 

Perhaps because she had overslept, Kate found class positively energizing. The more she danced, the more awake she felt. By the end of class, the panic of having awoken late was gone, replaced by tremendous desire for more fun with Seth. She couldn't help sensing double meaning in his words as he dismissed the kids: "Three more days, I can't wait! This is going to be terrific. Okay, let's go get cleaned up!"

Kate stood off to the side, drinking her water. As soon as the last of the kids was out of the studio, she swallowed and shamelessly took Seth's arm in her hand. "Yes, let's go get cleaned up. I'm so sorry I was late today."

"I'm sorry you were too," he agreed. "Will you make it up to me by letting me wash you off?"

"Oh, Seth, I've wanted you to do that so many times!"

"You have?" He stopped in the changing room doorway and looked genuinely surprised.

"Seth!" Kate cried out. "You are so frustrating! You're joking, aren't you? You aren't really surprised that I wanted to get intimate with you after all I've done the past few days?"

Wordlessly Seth beckoned Kate into the dressing room, where he locked the door behind her. He gestured to the one chair, and she sat down. Standing over her, he pulled off his top and then his leggings, and stood naked before her. His dick was soft, the first time she could recall seeing it that way. 

"I've had some pretty messed up stuff in my past, Kate. Dance-related, too. I had a crazy instructor who, you know..."

"Oh, Seth, I'm sorry!" Kate was horrified. "And to think the way I came on to you..."

"No! It's okay, Kate! You're not her. You're nothing like her, believe me. And I'm loving our little game. It's just that, every time I want to take it to a new level or I'm expecting you to, there are these bad memories that bubble up and I get so scared."

"So that's why you've been moving so slow with me."

"Well," Seth replied. "That, and I have to admit this one-step-at-a-time thing is kind of fun."

"It is," Kate admitted. "But it's also kind of frustrating. I so want to make love to you, Seth." She stood up and gently took his soft cock in both hands, and could feel it hardening at her touch. "But only when you're ready."

"I'm getting closer to ready all the time. Just let me beat these demons down, okay?"

"Of course!" Kate drew back, and wondered if she should go to the other room to shower separately. 

Seth, sensing her uncertainty, added, "Now, if you would do me the honor of letting me wash you down today..."

Kate grinned in relief and pulled her leotard straps down. 

The shower was no hotter than the day before, but it felt a lot steamier to Kate as she anticipated feeling Seth's delightfully soapy hands all over her body at last. "Now, tell me if I touch anything that makes you uncomfortable," he told her. Kate nodded but suspected there was no way that could happen. 

She was right. After working up a lather while Kate stood under the tap, Seth rubbed his soapy hands against both her shoulders at once, then worked his way first down her left arm and then her right. With the soap washed off, he worked his way back up to her shoulders and then inched around behind her to scrub her back. Kate held her wet hair out of his way while he soaped up her neck, shoulder blades, and on down to the small of her back and finally her behind, which he seemed almost afraid to touch at first. When Kate didn't flinch, he rubbed both cheeks harder, and finally allowed himself a laugh at the latest line they had crossed. She turned to look him in the eyes and joined in with the laugh, and then turned around to face him and hugged him. "You're quite the washing machine, Seth," she reassured him.

"And I'm just getting started!" he replied. Picking up the soap again, he now worked his way down her front – shoulders, chest and belly. He avoided her breasts at first, and Kate wanted to scream in frustration. But she had a feeling he would work up the courage to touch them soon enough. In the meantime, she struggled to stand still as he tickled her belly – not on purpose that she could discern – with the suds and his too-light touch, and thrilled to his tender attention so close to the most intimate part of her body. Kate knew, of course, that he wouldn't touch her womanhood just yet, though that would need to be washed. Sure enough, faced with that prospect, he finally bit the bullet and cupped his soapy hands over her breasts. Barely making contact with them at first, he soon rubbed harder as he realized she was enjoying his touch.

And she was indeed enjoying it. "Oh, that feels so good, Seth. Thank you!" Sensing that he might pull his hands away as soon as her breasts were clean, she added, "Don't stop. Please don't stop." She pushed down on his hands so that they were rubbing harder. "Mmmmmmmoooooooohhhhhhhh. Seth, that's wonderful." Kate realized her eyes were closed to better savor the sensation, and she opened them to see Seth looking pleased but surprised at her reaction as he continued to rub in pleasant circles. The soap being mostly gone from his hands by then, he stood back to let the falling water rinse her off, then leaned over and kissed her gently on both nipples. "Oh my," Kate sighed contentedly.

"Now the legs," Seth said, squatting down.

"You forgot one other part," Kate teased. 

"Oh, I haven't forgotten!" Seth was at eye-level with her pussy. But he didn't touch it, and Kate accepted that maybe that was too much for him just then. Once again he soaped up his hands, and scrubbed both her legs up and down in turn. He reached up far enough on both legs that Kate could feel her pubic hair brushing against his hands, but he stopped there both times. Then he straightened up and reached for the shampoo bottle. Kate's hair was long since wet by then, and he eagerly lathered it up, rubbing her scalp pleasantly all over as he did. 

When he had scrubbed her hair throughout, he scraped two handfuls of the suds off into his palms, and to Kate's delight he reached down. Careful not to reach all the way between her legs, Seth shampooed her pubes gently, stopping just at the opening of her vulva but still sending waves of joy through her body at his touch. After scrubbing playfully at the hair for a minute or so, he rinsed off his hands in the falling water and carefully washed out the suds. Then and only then did he reach between her legs and flick at her labia, and only briefly. Someone obviously told him how you're not supposed to get soap there, Kate thought to herself. Maybe he knew more about women than she thought he did. 

With his fingers finally between her legs, Kate wanted much more. But she knew not to push him, and expressed no disappointment when he drew his hands back up to her head to wash out the shampoo. With that done, he rinsed off her body one last time with gentle splashes of water everywhere. Then, with Kate feeling as keyed up as she was clean, he set about washing himself. Kate stood off to the side, admiring the view and wondering if she should now offer to scrub him down. But the look on his face made it clear that he wanted this job to himself for today. He was far more efficient with his own body than he'd been with hers, something Kate understood perfectly, and he was done in perhaps half the time he had taken on her body. 

Once the water was off, Kate patted herself dry leisurely while she enjoyed the sight of Seth doing the same. "That was beautiful, Seth," she reassured him.

"So my touching didn't make you uncomfortable?"

Where Kate would have been exasperated before this afternoon, now she was understanding. "Not at all, Seth. It felt wonderful. You have a real talent for being gentle. I'm just sorry someone might have made you think you didn't. And if you wanted me to wash you too..."

"No, that's okay," Seth said. "I promise, that's okay. I feel much more secure with you know, though, and maybe soon..." he smiled sheepishly at her. 

Kate dropped her towel and gave him a naked hug. "Definitely soon," she told him, and they shared a kiss.



Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 05



That evening Kate knew she would never get any studying done in the privacy of her bedroom. The temptation to think of Seth's hands all over her body and masturbate all night long was just too much. So she set up shop in the living room with her books and a mug of tea. Julie, perhaps still irritated with Kate's casual nudity earlier that day, was holed up in her room. 

And so it was that Kate alone was there to greet Scott when he arrived home from work. "Hey, Kate!" he said cheerfully, locking the door. "How goes the battle?"

"It goes wonderfully," she said with a grin.

"Was today the big day?" Scott asked.

"No, but we had a major breakthrough," Kate said. "He's had some issues with women before, and I guess he's kind of gunshy because of that. But we talked about it, and then I think I got him to relax a little more. Now he says he wants us to be together, he just has to work some things out first."

"That's great!" Scott said. "And all because you flashed him, huh?"

Kate laughed. "I guess so. That's been so wonderfully liberating for me too, learning to be less uptight about my body, you know? And now I'm drawing him out of his shell just like I came out of mine."

Kate thought she heard Scott and Julie's bedroom door open as she was talking, and she could only hope Julie heard her and would see her side of the story now. Unbeknownst to Kate, Julie heard only the tail end of her comment as she emerged from her room. But she did hear Scott's reply: "See, nudity is a wonderful tool!" And she heard the comfortable laugh he and Kate shared in response to it. 

On hearing that, Julie stopped in her tracks and retreated to her room. So it was going to be that way, was it? Julie shut herself in her room and clenched her fists, consumed with jealousy over Kate's newfound bond with Scott. Next thing she knew they'd both be lounging naked all over the apartment and she would look like the prude for not joining them! Enough was enough. But Julie couldn't think of what to say to Scott to put a stop to all this. Then she remembered what she had told Kate earlier that day: "Scott is a breast man." Time to remind Scott what she had and Kate didn't. It wasn't anything she needed to say; it was something she needed to do. 

Julie bit the bullet and pulled off her top. She gave some thought to also removing her bra, but this would get the point across just fine. Before she could lose her nerve, Julie opened the door and strode purposefully up the hallway, where she could hear Kate regaling Scott with tales of her latest exploits in the changing room. 

She forced herself to sound casual as she emerged into the living room. "Hey, guys!" she said cheerfully, as if she went around the apartment in her bra every day. "How are you?"

"Fine," Scott said, sounding bewildered. Julie continued on to the kitchen and was barely but deliciously aware of Scott looking at Kate as if to ask what was going on. 

"How was ballet, Kate?" Julie called out as she drew a glass of water from the sink. 

"It was great, thanks!" Kate replied. "How was your afternoon?"

"Long!" Julie said, reappearing in the kitchen doorway to lean casually against it. She could feel her nipples stiffening in naughty delight, and could only hope one or both of them would notice. "So much to do, but I'm hanging in there. Going to be a long evening for you two?"

"Um. Yeah!" Kate was obviously struggling not to ask Julie just what was going on. "I was just telling Scott, ballet keeps me so busy in the afternoons anymore, I really need to focus on reading after dinner, you know?"

"I can imagine," Julie said. Having given them the eyeful she intended, she took another sip of water and walked back down the hall. "Good luck!" she called over her bare shoulder. 

"What was that?!" Scott whispered to Kate as soon as they heard the door shut.

"Oh, Scott," Kate began. "Julie and I had a bit of a falling out this afternoon about boundaries. I think she thinks I'm getting too casual about not hiding in my clothes."

"So that was a taste of your own medicine, was it?" Scott asked.

"I guess. Also she probably wanted to remind you which one of us has bigger boobs, I'm afraid."

Scott laughed, but then quickly added, "I'm so sorry, Kate. I never meant to make her think..."

"You don't need to tell me that, Scott, you need to tell her."

"Of course. Your heart belongs to Seth anyway."

"It will soon, I hope."

While Kate and Scott were saying goodnight, the subject of their chat gulped her water exultantly in the privacy of her room. Mission accomplished -- or at least off to a great start. Julie knew which of them Scott would be thinking of tonight, no matter how much noise Kate would make this time around while fantasizing about Seth. Of course, Julie could compete on that front as well, and maybe it was time to remind Scott just what he'd be missing out on if he started showing too much interest in her friend. If he was smart, he'd be down the hall any minute now to make amends or more. With that in mind, Julie set her water glass down and reached back to unzip her skirt. As it floated to the floor, she shoved her panties down after it, but kept her bra on. If Scott still had the interest in her that he should, Julie reminded herself, he would know why she didn't remove it too. 

Julie arranged the pillows on their bed so that she could lounge comfortably with her legs spread and see the look on Scott's face when he came in. As soon as she had her back at the right angle, she went to town on herself with both hands, rubbing around her clit with the left and reaching inside with two fingers on her right hand to rub her own wetness under the left. She rubbed slowly, exulting in the sensation but not working her way up to a climax just yet because she wanted to make sure Scott would catch her in the act. To complete the sensation, she rubbed her back against the pillows so that the fabric of her bra brushed back and forth against her nipples. She knew she had told Scott how she loved that.

When the door opened, Julie's natural inclination was to stop playing with herself and scramble for cover. But she fought that temptation down and didn't even open her eyes right away to see Scott gawking at her. When at last she did break her concentration and look up, she was rewarded with the sight of bulging eyes and bulging jeans. "Like the view, do you?" she asked coyly. 

"You know it!" Scott said, unzipping his jeans.

Julie stopped her playing and propped herself up on her elbows. "How do you know I'm going to let you join me?" she asked. 

Scott let go of his pants and stood there with them halfway down, looking at Julie. "Well, I guess I don't. But I was hoping..."

"Hoping?" Julie scoffed. "Isn't that all Kate always did before? Wait and hope?"

"Well, she didn't go around the apartment topless," Scott countered.

"Fuck you!"

"That's what I want you to do!" Scott grinned nervously. 

"Do you really?" Julie asked. "I don't think I'll ever be the free spirit you've turned Kate into, you know."

"I didn't turn her into anything!" Scott protested. "I made a joke and she thought it was a good idea!" Then he smiled. "And it was. It worked on this Seth guy, or at least it's working. It wasn't necessary for you and me, was it?"

Julie nodded slowly. "I didn't need you to see me nude before you asked me out, I guess."

"No, you didn't. And once you did, we could talk easily enough about this stuff. That's a problem for Kate because she was so demure and her guy is so shy. It's not a problem when you and I know each other and what we like. Like the way I know you left your bra on because you like the way the satin rubs against your nipples when you wiggle against the mattress."

Julie was delighted. "You remembered!"

"Of course I did!" Gingerly he climbed onto the bed beside her and reached around her to undo her bra. She didn't resist, and he leaned in to kiss her right nipple as soon as the garment was out of the way. Julie arched her back and sighed heavily at the sensation. 

"Don't know why I was so uptight," she said between gasps of air as Scott went to town on her breasts. "I guess between Kate and me, I'm used to being the horny one."

"It's not a competition," Scott reassured her between kisses. 

"Shouldn't be, I know," Julie whispered, followed by a giggle as Scott reached down and caressed her pussy lips. "Oh, that's lovely, Scott! Shouldn't be a competition, I know."

Scott stopped caressing but kept his hand against Julie's vulva. "Isn't, Julie. Kate is Kate and you're you, and I love you. Especially if you don't take your clothes off for guys you meet at the gym!" They both burst into relieved laughter, and Scott pulled his arms up around her shoulders for a chaste hug. They lay silently intertwined in one another's arms for a few minutes, nothing needing to be said. 

The silence was broken, not by either of them but by a rhythmic thumping in the next room. Surprised at first, they looked at each other and figured out simultaneously what the noise was: Kate's bed hitting the wall as she rocked back and forth on it. Harder to hear, but still audible once they listened for it, were Kate's increasingly uninhibited gasps and moans as she humped her way to orgasm next door. 

"Who ever knew she was so horny underneath?" Julie asked, amazed.

"It's not a competition," Scott reminded her.

"Let's show her what we can do anyway," Julie said, squeezing Scott's hard cock gently. And they were soon intertwined in a passionate, loud session that soon drowned out Kate's noises, but didn't stop her from enjoying herself next door. 

"Two more days!" Kate enthused to the girls and boys the next afternoon. "Can you believe it, Seth?"

"I can't!" Seth replied. "But I know they're all ready. Aren't you?"

"Yeah!" went up a round from the kids as they crowded their way toward the door. 

"Keep up the great work!" Kate called out as they went. "We're almost there!"

"You're in a terrific mood!" Seth said as the last of the girls swung out the door. 

Kate looked out in the hallway to make sure the coast was clear, and then put her arms around Seth to his surprise. "Of course I am. Yesterday was so hot, and I got a great show from you today too before class!"

"All we did was change together today," Seth reminded her, though he did return her embrace.

"All we did? That's a big deal for us, isn't it, Seth?"

"For me it is," Seth admitted.

"For me too! Do you think tearing my clothes off for a guy comes naturally?"

"Well..." Seth began. "I guess not. It's just that you made it look easy once you started doing that with me. But I wasn't expecting it before, so I guess not."

"Bingo!" Kate withdrew her arms and poked Seth gently on the nose as she said it. Then, with his undivided attention, she began whirling around the studio. "That wasn't who I was at all either. But you set me free! I've never felt so sexy in my life."

"Just because we shower together now?"

Kate stopped dancing momentarily and looked at him with a pert smile. "That's not all I do."

"You mean you've been..." Seth trailed away.

"Masturbating. The word doesn't bite, Seth." Kate was whirling about again, loving the attention he was now lavishing on her body and the things she was sure he was now imagining her doing to herself. 

"That's...great, sweetie," Seth said. "I mean, wow!"

Kate stopped and looked at Seth from across the room. "I'm glad you like it. But do you really want to only think about it?" With a salacious grin, she turned and walked to the changing room, leaving the door open as she began to remove her leotard, as she was quite sure Seth would be right behind her. 

He was. "Wait," he said as he locked the door. "Let me help you with that."

Kate did as he asked, and stood before him with one strap down around her arm, but otherwise still clothed. To her delight, he undressed first, quickly but gracefully, and soon stood naked and erect before her. He rubbed his cock a few times as he looked up and down her still-clothed body, and exhaled a contented sigh. Then, as gently as if he were unwrapping a fragile doll, he pulled the remaining strap over Kate's shoulder and peeled her sweaty pink leotard down. Over her breasts, then down toward the waistband of her tights, he rolled the tight fabric carefully down to expose her body a bit at a time. Kate felt her bare skin prickle in the fresh cool air. No longer the least bit embarrassed, she looked at Seth's contented face as he undressed her inch by inch. 

When he had the sweaty garment all the way off, Kate picked up her feet one at a time to let him remove it completely. Then he squatted down and untied her slippers one by one, and slipped them off her feet. As he straightened up again, Kate eagerly anticipated his pulling her tights down as well. But he didn't do it right away. Instead he took her in his arms and kissed her -- a hard, wet kiss. Kate loved it and eagerly joined in the tongue-tangling. She also wondered just what was next -- was he finally going to make love to her right here in the shower room? It was not the fairy tale ending she had imagined, but she would take it, for behind her giddy playfulness she was nearly desperate to finally feel Seth inside her. 

He slid his hands down to rub Kate's behind, and she once again expected him to remove her tights; but once again he didn't. Instead he drew his hands up around her front and cupped both her breasts in them. Kate sighed and struggled not to laugh as his light touch tickled a bit, and smiled her approval as he looked back up into her eyes. Gently he pressed his thumbs down on her nipples and rubbed, lightly at first, then harder as they grew stiff to his touch. Seth felt them getting harder, she could tell, and his confidence grew as he sensed the reaction. She looked down to see his cock was rock hard, and she longed to caress it. But she didn't dare break the mood, and after all, why break his concentration when he was giving her such pleasure? 

Kate's breathing grew heavier as his hands found their way more naturally around her breasts. She wiggled a bit to relieve the growing tension, and smiled to let him know the wiggling was good. He appeared to approve. Only days before, the demure old Kate would have held her breath to avoid moaning. Now, the thought came to her that perhaps she should do that to avoid scaring Seth with a too-intense response. But no, she soon concluded, no more pretending. Besides, he seemed to love her reactions to his touch so far. She tilted her head back and let slip a guttural moan. "Oh, Seth...ohhhhhhhhh." Now the sensations were so intense she had to reach out and hold onto his sides for balance. He made no complaints, and remained focused on her breasts. 

"Unghhhhhhh. Ohhhh. Feels so good!" Kate was now thrusting her still-clothed hips out in a wonderfully-frustrating reach for something to rub against. "Oh, God!" Her sensations down below finding no outlet, the touch of his gentle hands on her nipples felt that much more intense. "God, Seth, ohhhhhhh..." Seth moved one hand around her back, and leaned in and kissed her left nipple gently. A flick of the tongue, then a hard lick, then he sucked harder and poked at it with his tongue. "Ohmygod Seth!" Kate held on harder as she felt him pushing her ever closer to the line. Kate had heard that some women were capable of coming from breast play alone, but she had never had an inkling that she was one of them. Now, of a sudden, she realized she was indeed capable of as much, and that she was about to have her first. Moaning steadily now, she bobbed up and down so that his hand and mouth alike covered a wide area of her delightfully erogenous skin. Down below she could feel moisture tickling her inner thighs as her pussy grew wet, and she longed to reach down and play, or better yet have Seth do it. But the promise of an orgasm with no touching there was just too irresistible. 

As she felt the dam reach its bursting point, Kate bent her knees and wiggled. "Seth! Ohhhh, God, Seth, I'm gonna come...OHHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWWWWW." She closed her eyes and breathed out hard as Seth continued to tweak both her nipples and looked on admiringly at his handiwork. Opening her eyes, she saw him gazing contentedly at her, and leaned in and kissed him hard on the mouth. "Thank you. That was beautiful. Thank you!"

"Ready to shower now?" he asked with an uncertain smile. 

Kate was flabbergasted, happy but not satiated. "Oh no you don't!" She grabbed at both his wrists.

"What? You came, didn't you?"

"Yes, and it was great, but it was only a start." She released his hands and pulled her tights down. "My pussy is on fire thanks to you, and you're not leaving me like this." With that she took his right hand in both of her own and pressed it against her damp triangle. "Just one more orgasm, then we can shower. Unless you want one too."

Seth smiled nervously, and didn't pull his hand away but didn't move it either. He looked down -- still rock hard, and a drop of precum was set to fall. Then he looked down at his hand against her vulva, and began rubbing gently, awkwardly at first but nevertheless to Kate's delight and relief. "We can do me tomorrow," he whispered. "Today, it's all for you."

He reached gently into the folds of her vagina and found the magic button, and with a grin he flicked playfully at it. Kate was still thoroughly pent up and was now even more vocal in her approval. "Unhhgggggghhhhhhh!" She bore down on his hand and wiggled her knees in pleasure. Still flicking at her clit with his thumb, Seth now reached first one, then two fingers inside. He could feel her juices flood his fingers as he rubbed at her flesh.

"Oh oh oh OH OH OH...OHMYGOD...ohmygod...!" Kate came fast and hard, and felt the tension drain from every pore in her body, and she threw herself at Seth and pinned him against the wall, his fingers still tickling her insides pleasantly. She kissed him once again. "Much better, thanks." Flicking her fingers lightly over his still-hard cock, she asked "Are you sure you don't want me to finish you off?"

Seth didn't back away as she had feared he might, and he didn't resist as she wrapped her hand gently around his erection. "I was going to say wait until tomorrow," he admitted. "But I'm starting to think I might explode if we don't take care of that now."

"It'll be my pleasure," Kate grinned, pulling gently down over the head.

"Whoa! Wait!" Seth looked panicked. "What about the...you know, mess?"

"No problem," Kate reassured him. She pulled gently as if leading a dog on a leash, and brought him into the shower. "You can squirt anywhere here, dear." With that, she took his cock in both her hands and rubbed, hard and fast, the way she'd heard most guys liked it. "I can tell you're ready to explode," she said teasingly. "I'm sure this won't take too long."

"It won't be too fast, I promise!" Seth said between satisfied gasps. 

"Oh, I didn't mean it that way," Kate said with a gentle laugh, continuing to rub him up and down. "I'm sure you can last as long as you want to in bed. And I can't wait to find out. Just think, you and me with some privacy for a change, and all night to play together, as many times as we want, again and again, and you can touch me anywhere you like..."

"Oh god, Kate! Ah!" He recoiled a bit and a spurt of white shot out hard and fast with a splash against the dry shower wall. Seth, she now realized, was far less vocal than she had taught herself to be. Must work on that with him, she thought to herself. He would enjoy it so much more that way -- she certainly had. Nevertheless, she was impressed with his volume and delighted that she had made him come with her own two hands. 

Kate turned on the faucet and picked up the soap. "Ready for a wash-down, Seth?"




Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 05



"Am I ever!"

"Ready to make love as well?" she asked hopefully.

"Let's make it after the recital," he said. "It'll just make it a bit more special that way."

Kate thought about it. "Two more days," she said. "That's not long to wait, but just what will we do with ourselves tomorrow?"

"I'm sure we'll think of something." 



Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 06



That night, Kate arrived home with a look of absolute dreamy bliss still on her face. Julie and Scott looked up from the television to see her beaming at them as she floated across the room. Neither of them said a word, but they turned to each other and laughed as soon as she was out of sight.

"About time she got lucky," Julie said. 

"Does this mean no more shows from you like last night?" Scott asked.

"We'll see what she does next before I'll promise that," Julie replied crisply. But then she turned to Scott and kissed him, and had to admit to herself that the recent jealousy over her friend had done their relationship some good. 

As she was sure there would be nosy questions from Scott and Julie and she might even be tempted to answer them, Kate opted to stay in her room for studying that night. Finding her mind wandering and her hands tempted to follow just as she had expected, she forced herself to set goals -- masturbation breaks every three chapters, among others -- and it worked. When she finally turned out the lights, the delightful memory of Seth's fingers in her vagina had not gone away and neither had the persistent itch to play some more; but at least she had managed to get her studying done. It took yet another round of humping the bed before she was relaxed enough to have any chance at sleeping, and it was quite late when she finally drifted off. 

Dress rehearsal came and went the next day, and with it an extra-long class. Kate and Seth had a delightful time helping one another out of their clothes and into their dancewear beforehand. But when class finally ended, Kate was too tired to try to top yesterday afternoon. One look at Seth convinced her that he was feeling the same. "I just want to shower and then get some rest for tomorrow!" Kate admitted as they headed for the changing rooms. 

"I'm so glad to hear you say that," Seth said. "I was thinking all through class, how do we top yesterday when I'm this tired?"

"No pressure," Kate assured him, taking his arm and kissing his cheek once she'd confirmed that no one was there to see them. 

In the changing room, they both wearily set about undressing. By now Kate found it felt perfectly natural, not embarrassing at all anymore, yet still a thrill. The reflection made her very happy, and Seth turned to see her grinning just as she pulled her tights off. The look on her face made him laugh. She joined in as well and then pulled him into a joyful nude hug. "Tomorrow will be beautiful," she vowed.

"I'm sure it will," Seth said.

"Are you?" Kate looked up into his eyes. "You can be honest with me, sweetie, you know that."

"That's how I know it will be beautiful," Seth told her.

"Good answer!" And she kissed him. This time in the shower, he let her wash him down without ever flinching, and comfortably returned the favor. They enjoyed the steamy water for a long time, and were feeling refreshed and just a bit less tired when they toweled off. Kate was just as hungry for Seth as ever, but she felt unexpectedly satisfied at how comfortable they had come to be with one another. 

Her sleepy contentment was still on display when she arrived home that night. Feeling less keyed-up, she had no fear of Julie and Scott's questions this time. It was a good thing she didn't, she learned halfway through the first gulp of wine.

"You look awfully relaxed, dear," Julie chirped.

"I am," Kate admitted, hoping her old friend wasn't going to get obnoxious again.

"Did Seth wear you out in the shower room?"

So much for friends-again! "Why yes, Julie, he did. Three times in the shower, and once over the barre as soon as the kids were gone!"

"Kate! That's disgusting! Don't share that at dinner!" Julie looked repulsed.

"Then don't ask, dear," Kate said.

"She's right, you did ask," Scott pointed out.

"You stay out of this!" Julie snapped. "Kate, enough is enough. I was only joking!"

"So was I!" Kate said.

"So you didn't really have sex in the shower today?"

Now it was Scott's turn to snap. "Julie! None of your business!"

"That's right," Kate said. "Besides, do you really want to know or not?"

"I'm not sure what I want to know about you anymore, Kate," Julie said. "I mean, did I ever overshare with you about my sex life?"

"You think I can't hear the two of you from my room?" Kate asked. 

"Oh, stop it!" Julie set her glass down firmly and stood up. 

"You started it," Kate sing-songed. "And did you really like it better when I was a prude?"

Julie stopped and thought about that. "You know, Kate, I did. It meant I could feel like a bad girl without being too bad. My mistake, I guess." Though she sounded sorry, Julie nevertheless resumed her retreat to her room without another look at Kate. 

"Deep down, she's glad," Scott told Kate. "You've really spiced things up around here. We both like it."

"I'll keep that in mind," Kate said with a relieved smile. She had to admit to herself, despite all the tension at home, the newfound freedom was getting more enjoyable all the time. "Think I'll get another look at Julie's boobs tonight?" she asked Scott. 

"With the mood she's in, I'm not sure if even I'll see them tonight," Scott admitted. 

It was Friday night, so Kate could have ditched her homework and spent the evening fantasizing about Seth. But now that the real thing was so close, she found she didn't want to. Ultimately she never even masturbated that night -- every time the temptation arose, she found it would be more of a turn-on to hold off on the whole thing until the big event. Besides that, she found herself feeling a bit nervous about the recital. In the past she had thrown herself into rehearsals much more than she had done this time, with Seth as a distraction for the past week. For the first time since the afternoon of their "accidental" encounter, she had occasion to think hard about the recital. Were the kids up to it? Had she and Seth neglected them while focusing on one another? Would the parents be happy? 

Eventually she convinced herself that it would all be fine. But between her last minute jitters about the recital and the growing sexual tension as she thought about tomorrow, Kate lay awake even later that night than she had the night before. Fortunately, recital day was Saturday -- no class -- and she had no need to be at the theater until late afternoon. With no need for the alarm clock, Kate slept until nearly lunchtime, and she could hear Julie and Scott lounging in the living room when she emerged for her shower. 

It occurred to her too late that she would likely want to shower again just before leaving for the theater, but the hot water helped her wake up in any case, and had the added benefit of reminding her of Seth. That happy connotation plus the convenient shower-head once again gave her thoughts of playing; but once again she willed herself to hold off on that until tonight. She wanted to be as wound up as possible when she and Scott finally got together alone in her bedroom. Or his. It didn't matter. 

Or maybe it did matter, Kate realized a second too late after she got out of the shower. 

She was hard up for some coffee, and as recently as a week ago no one in the apartment gave a second thought to wearing only a bathrobe in the living room. Now, though, with the mood Julie was in, seeing Kate dressed thusly was an open invitation to another snide comment. This occurred to Kate only as she emerged into the living room, a split-second too late for her to turn back and avoid a confrontation. As the realization came to her, though, she was already a stride into the room and Scott and Julie had both seen her. Just carry on, she willed herself as she headed for the kitchen. 

"Uh oh!" Julie teased from her spot on the couch. "Are you going to flash us?"

"Jules," Scott warned.

"Shut up," Julie told him. "You want to encourage her or something?"

Enough was enough. Kate had been thinking since last night that she was going to miss the thrill of being seen nude anyway now that it was no longer a big deal with Seth, and just maybe the shock would shut Julie up once and for all. She stopped in her tracks, took the sash of her robe in one hand, turned around, and smiled at her old friend. "I don't need Scott to encourage me," Kate said sweetly, looking Julie in the eye. "It's time to change clothes for the day anyway." Never breaking eye contact with Julie, she pulled at the sash and undid the slipknot, and pulled her robe away with both hands, tossing it on the floor behind her.

Kate was rewarded with the sight of both Scott and Julie's jaws dropping in unison as they both stared at her body (which Julie had seen on occasion years before when they were undergrad roommates, but never on full display like this). Once again that delicious rush of embarrassment and titillation raced through her veins, but this time she didn't have to fake the confident look on her face -- the joy of her vulnerability was real. So was the added twist of having the both of them for an audience this time, not to mention that she was standing with her legs a bit apart so that Julie and Scott could probably see at least the hint of her pussy lips if they looked hard enough, which she did nothing to stop them from doing. 

Julie finally came to her senses and turned her head away, toward the living room window, whose shades were open. "Kate!" she snapped. "What the hell! Even the curtains are open! Don't you have any shame?"

"None," Kate said. "And why should I? I love my body!" She did in fact feel some fright rising up as she realized she might be visible from outside, but that worry was accompanied by more thrills. Every inch of her naked body was now tingling with tension the like of which she hadn't felt since playing with Seth in the shower two days before. "Besides, Julie, this is what you wanted."

"What?!" Julie stood up and drew the curtains. "What makes you think I want you prancing around naked in front of my boyfriend?!" On that thought, she leapt at Scott, who was gaping openly and unapologetically at Kate. "And you get your eyes off her!" she roared at him, trying to cover his eyes. 

Scott pushed Julie's hand away and stood up. "Don't tell me what I can't look at!" he said. "And she's right, Jules! Ever since she admitted this makes her feel good, you've been making nasty comments about it. Why should it bother you so much if she enjoys taking her clothes off?"

"Because it's private!" Julie said, now standing before Kate to block Scott's view of her. "It's not something you do with just anyone! And here she is always going on about how happy she is to rip her clothes off for this Seth jerk!" 

Unbeknownst to Julie, Kate moved aside a bit to once again let Scott see her full glory. Scott was careful not to avert his eyes, but the deception amused him as he responded to Julie. "But what makes you think Seth is a jerk?! You said yourself maybe he's just shy. She found a way to overcome that, and then she found out it turns her on. She doesn't strip just for Seth, she does it for herself. You should be happy for her that she's become so uninhibited. We should all be so comfortable with our bodies."

"Who says I wasn't happy for her?" Julie demanded, still unaware that she was no longer blocking Scott's view of Kate. 

"You do, with all the nasty comments, and even putting on a show for us the other night. You're jealous! That's why she's pushing you like this now. It was never a competition for her."

"I didn't have a problem with it until she started tearing her clothes off here," Julie said. "I went to talk to her the other day and she was stark naked, and I'm like, excuse me?!"

"In the privacy of my own room," Kate reminded her, thus revealing her change of position.

"What?" Julie turned to see Kate smirking at her. "Oh, you!" Giving up on blocking the view, she threw herself down on the couch. "It was still inappropriate to let me come in on you!"

"I'm sorry you felt that way, Julie," Kate said. "But can't you understand this makes me feel good? I feel free when I'm nude. It's like nothing else. And it was only in my room. I'd have kept it that way if you'd kept your mouth shut, too."

"Yeah," Julie grumbled. "Fine." She turned to Scott, and could see his jeans were bulging. "If you think this is so wonderful, why don't you take all your clothes off for her too?"

"Fair's fair," Scott admitted. He looked to Kate for signs of disapproval, and instead saw only an encouraging look on her face. With that he stood up and undid his belt buckle. 

"Don't you!" Julie roared at him.

"Don't tell me what to do," he replied firmly, dropping his pants and kicking them off. Then he pulled his shirt over his head. Julie got up and stormed off to her room in disgust, just as Scott pulled his boxers down. To Kate's delight, he was rock hard; and to her amusement, his cock was a bit smaller than Seth's. It seemed strangely fitting to her that a ballet dancer would have a bigger penis than a football player, but of course she knew better than to say anything on the subject. 

Scott's face reddened, and he and Kate looked at each other and laughed. Each knew nothing good could come of touching the other and neither one wanted to in any case; but both enjoyed the view and the naughtiness of it all immensely. "It's liberating, isn't it?" Kate finally asked after a few silent moments.

"It truly is," Scott said. "Maybe that's what she's jealous of."

"I didn't mean to cause any trouble," Kate said. "It's just that letting Seth see me naked was such a rush, I mean I can't remember the last time I felt that good."

"It was an awakening, was it?"

"Yes!" Kate agreed. "I've been trying to think of the word for it, and that's it. And I never intended to have Julie think I was turning into some kind of pervert, you know."

"No, I know!" Scott reassured her. "Like you said, your room, your rules. I'd have been flattered someone trusted me that much."

"And I am flattered right now," Kate said, looking down at Scott's hard cock. "Even if you are a breast man."

Scott laughed. "I am, but your breasts are beautiful too, Kate."

"Thank you!" she said, pressing her hands over them momentarily. Looking down the hall, she asked, "Do you think we should get our clothes back on and try to smooth things over with her?"

"I have a better idea," Scott said, sitting back on the couch. "Let's just stay here and do something totally casual and nonsexual, like a board game or something, and let her get over it."

Kate agreed and knelt down on the carpet across the table from Scott, who produced a deck of cards from some hiding place under the couch, and they set about to play. Now that the ice was broken, the shock wore off quickly and Kate felt no different than she'd have felt playing cards fully clothed. They talked casually as they played, and were fully wrapped up in the game when they heard Julie opening the bedroom door. Neither of them looked up from the game when she appeared out of the hallway. 

"I guess you're not playing strip poker," Julie quipped.

"Yeah, we'd be about tied if we were, though, huh?" Scott asked. Neither he nor Kate looked up. 

"Maybe even a three-way tie," Julie said with a slight chuckle. 

Kate and Scott both looked up to see Julie was now just as bare as they were. She was smiling broadly and looking contrite. "You're right, this does feel great once you give it a chance," she said. "I'm sorry I've been such a pain about it all."

Kate stood up. "Oh, Julie." Without another word, she hugged her friend, who seemed to relax further in her arms -- Kate thought she could sense the tension draining from her body. "I never meant to make you uncomfortable."

"I know, I know," Julie said. "I'm sorry, really."

Kate drew back but didn't let go completely. "Now do you see why I like it?"

"Well," Julie said, "It's not for me, but I have some idea now, yeah."

"If you don't like it, don't let us force you into staying like this."

"Then I'd be overdressed," Julie quipped. "Besides, I think he likes it!"

Kate looked down at Scott, who looked absolutely mesmerized at the sight of her and Julie in their nude embrace. His dick looked even harder than before -- maybe that was just Kate's imagination, but maybe it wasn't -- and he looked like he was aching to jack off.

Kate burst into laughter, and Julie soon joined her. Scott joined in last of all, and unapologetically gave himself a light stroke. "Shall we give him a show?" Julie asked.

Kate hesitated. "I'm saving up for tonight," she admitted. "Seth and I still haven't done it and I think tonight's the night. So I haven't even gotten myself off today or yesterday."

"We know," Seth quipped. "We would have heard if you had."

Kate burst into peals of laughter. Still hanging on to Julie, she squeezed her again. "But Jewels, if you're not saving yourself..."

"Then you'd be wound up tighter than a corkscrew," Julie reminded her.

"Like you've been lately?!"

"Uh! But I deserve that, don't I?" Julie asked. 

"Maybe you do just need to get really ravaged, dear," Scott said, standing up. He hugged her from behind, so she was now sandwiched between him and Kate. He kissed her on the back of the neck, nibbling her nape a bit, and ran his hands around front and rubbed her breasts firmly like he knew she liked. Julie moaned her approval, and Kate felt a shiver of pleasure as the backs of his hands brushed her own breasts innocently. Julie tossed her head back and exulted in Scott's touch, but whispered at Kate not to pull away when she sensed she might. Kate, accordingly, did not step back. Instead she swayed lightly back and forth so her skin brushed deliciously against Julie's. Scott being busy with her breasts, Kate focused her attention downward. With both hands she teased Julie's pubic area, which was rather more forested than her own. Julie moaned out loud at the sensation, and wiggled her hips. 

Kate, encouraged at the reaction, kissed Julie deeply on the mouth. Julie's tongue responded delightfully, and Kate emboldened her rubbing of Julie's ladygarden. After pulling away from the kiss, Kate kneeled down and began nibbling gently at Julie's belly while Scott continued kneading her breasts. Gently and ever so slowly, Kate curled her middle finger into Julie's wet pussy -- her first time ever fingering another woman, and she found she quite liked it.

But not nearly as much as Julie liked it. "OhmigodKate! Yessssss!" Still kissing Julie's middle, Kate ran her left hand playfully through Julie's pubic hair and slipped a second finger inside. Moaning louder now, Julie thrust her hips forward to force Kate to rub harder at the outside, while her fingers seemed to reach everywhere inside. So this was what it must feel like for Seth when he did it to her, Kate mused, and she hoped he enjoyed it as much then as she did now. Julie, of course, seemed to be enjoying it most of all, and that delighted Kate as she rubbed her fingers in and out again and again while Julie's moans grew louder and more intense. Kate gave some thought to giving Julie some oral as well, but that was a line she didn't feel she could cross -- she didn't even like sucking dick either. 

Besides, it proved unnecessary. Julie was soon writhing almost uncontrollably, pressing Scott's hands harder into her breasts and wiggling her hips to enhance Kate's fingering. They both knew when she came, for she let out a wonderful shriek and a final shiver before going limp in Scott's arms. Kate withdrew her fingers then but gave her clit a final rub that made her shudder one last time. 

"Whoooh. Thank you." Julie sat down on the couch and stretched out her legs. "That felt great."

"Shall I leave you crazy kids alone?" Kate offered.

"Not before we give you some fun," Julie said.




Turn Around, Look at Me Ch. 06



Kate looked awkwardly at Scott, who had been careful not to touch her -- only Julie -- and vice versa. "I told you I'm saving myself for tonight," Kate said. 

"One little orgasm won't hurt," Julie said. Looking at Scott and back at her, Julie added, "No, it's fine with me. What'll give you a little one to tide you over?"

Kate sat gingerly beside Julie on the couch. "Well, I just discovered the other day, I can come just from having my breasts played with."

The words were barely out of her mouth before Kate found herself pinned against the couch, suckling Scott on the left and Julie on the right. Scott's stubble was a bit scratchy, but he had a gentler touch than Julie, who wasn't used to kissing breasts. They made a great contrast, and both felt terrific in their own way. "Oh god...oh guys...ooooohhhhhhh!" Kate wiggled her hips every which way, longing to hump something but even her own arms were pinned down to prevent it. The pleasant frustration just added to the lovely sensation her friends were treating her to. Having been thoroughly aroused by the play with Julie earlier, Kate was over the top in no time -- a mild orgasm, but a satisfying one for the time being all the same. Like the other day, this one only made her want more serious play, but that would come soon enough with Seth. 

Last but not least, Scott got up and went to the kitchen for a few paper towels, and came back to jack off while Julie and Kate cradled and rubbed one another gently on the couch. Kate had never seen a man masturbate before, and found she loved the show. Must ask Seth to do that as soon as he's comfortable with it, she told herself. Feeling relaxed and newly close to one another, the three then lay together on the living room carpet with a blanket from the couch and enjoyed a nap together. 

A few hours later, Kate awoke curled up against Julie, with Scott on Julie's other side, and with a dreamy sensuous feeling she wished she could carry with her always. This lasted a moment before she began to fear she'd overslept and would miss the dance recital. A glimpse at the clock reassured her that there was plenty of time. But she definitely needed to get up right then and eat something -- lunch had never happened and she was ravenous -- and then shower and dress for the big night. Careful to avoid waking either of her companions, Kate quietly crawled out from under the blanket and stood up. With the rush of their earlier play now past, she found herself a bit self-conscious about her nudity, and grabbed up her bathrobe where she had tossed it hours before. She looked at it and nearly put it on, but the damage was done. Kate left the robe on the couch and went into the kitchen. There were a couple of leftover sandwiches from a recent event at the university, and Kate grabbed one and ate it over the sink. Cooking while naked was out of the question, of course, and she was in a bit of a hurry and too nervous to have much of an appetite anyway. 

After wolfing down the sandwich, it was time to shower again and get dressed for the recital. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- the wonderful treatment Julie and Scott had given her breasts earlier, Kate was hornier than ever, and the shower was even more tempting for some solo play this time. But time was growing short before she had to go downtown, and a plan was a plan. After toweling off, Kate realized for the first time that she had left her robe out in the living room. She made to wrap the towel around her, but thought better of it and sauntered fearlessly out into the hallway in the nude. Julie and Scott were awake by then, still cuddling under the blanket, and both offered nothing but knowing smiles as Kate made her way back to her room. 

She'd had her slinkiest black dress at the ready for a couple of weeks by then, and it hung majestically in her closet. Her underwear and stockings -- also all black -- felt almost confining after all the time she'd been spending nude lately, but Kate did like the way she looked in them just before putting the dress on. Seth would love it too, she was certain of that by now. After pulling the dress on and fastening it in back with a bit of a struggle (Kate had always vowed not to depend on anyone else to help her get dressed like one always saw on television), a final brush of her hair and she slipped on her pumps and was done. She could scarcely wait to see how Seth was looking.

Terrific, it turned out. When Kate arrived at the theater, she found him backstage in a well-fitted black suit and red tie. All the kids were in their costumes and looked wonderful as well, and Kate received many compliments on her own appearance. 

"I'm with them, Kate," Seth grinned after several oohs and aahs from the girls. "You look beautiful."

"Well, thank you, Seth! You too!" Her worrying about being on time now over, Kate felt positively radiant when she thought of the earlier fun with Scott and Julie. With a last wink at Seth, she added, "Okay, is everybody ready to go dance your heart out?" 

"Yes!" "Totally ready!" "Let's go!" The kids were nothing if not enthusiastic; this pleased Kate as well. Perhaps she and Seth had done their job well after all. 

"Great! Places, then, and let's get started." It was nearly curtain time. 

As soon as the kids were onstage and out of sight, Kate took Seth's arm and they were off to their reserved seats in the audience. If only Julie and Scott could see how lovely they looked together, she thought as they took their seats together, they'd see why she had taken such a crazy chance to make things work. Seth was well-groomed as ever, and even his cologne was enticing to Kate now. As the curtain went up, she took his hand in hers and gripped it tightly, not caring if any of the kids noticed. 

The show came off without a hitch, and Kate even managed to keep her mind off her loins until the curtain went down. With Seth's hand in hers, that wasn't easy to do; but she knew now that tonight would be the night for sure. It was just a matter of time. And that time went by as if in a dream. After the show when they went backstage to congratulate the kids, Kate noticed none of them looked surprised to see their two teachers hand in hand. Had they seen something all along that even Seth hadn't? 

"Probably they did, yeah," Seth said casually over dinner shortly afterward. 

Kate laughed. "You don't even sound surprised!"

"I'm not," he said. "I mean, let's face it, we turned out to be perfect for each other. Just because I didn't notice that until you forced me to, well, that doesn't mean anything."

Kate felt ready to melt as she looked at him over her wine glass. "We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but, is whatever happened to you before still an issue?"

"Always will be a bit, I guess," Seth said. "But don't worry about that. Now I know I can trust you."

"I'm so glad." Kate was sure she was about to melt into tears of joy, but fortunately the waiter arrived with more wine at that moment. 

In the his-place-or-hers debate, hers won out due to some issue involving Seth's flatmates. Kate assured him that hers would be fine with his visit, and could only speculate as to how he would feel about the whole truth. She wouldn't let that bother her, though. In the taxi back to her place, she longed to jump him right there on the back seat -- public sex seemed the natural enough next step -- but contented herself with holding his hand and rubbing it against her thigh as she felt her inner longing approach its breaking point. A glance at his trousers showed the feeling was mutual. 

As Kate unlocked the door, she could hear Julie or Scott or both scurrying away inside. Once inside, she and Seth found the blanket from that afternoon still on the living room floor, and a pair of bathrobes discarded on the couch. She stifled a laugh, but not quite enough for Seth to miss it. "What's up?" he asked her. 

"Nothing you want to know now," Kate chuckled. "But if you become a regular guest here, you'll get to know my best friend and her boyfriend well enough to understand, I promise. They're looking forward to meeting you."

"They've heard about me, have they?" Seth asked, surprised.

"Oh gosh, yes," Kate said. And they're very happy for us both. 

Alone with Seth in her room at last, Kate had to think twice about locking the door. But breaking him in easy was essential, and she didn't want to lose the hard won trust she already had with him. She turned on only the dim light on her dresser, and was pleased with the mellow glow it sent throughout the room. Seth kicked his shoes off but otherwise remained fully clothed as he looked at her for guidance.

"You don't still need me to lead you, do you?" Kate teased. 

Seth laughed. "Okay. I deserved that. It's just that in the movies it's always so artful the way they undress, and in real life it's so much more of a jumble."

"It doesn't have to be," Kate told him. With a gentle smile, she reached back and unhooked her dress, and wiggled enticingly out of it. Setting the dress on the chair in the corner, she then pranced across the room in her bra, panties and stockings. "In fact," she continued. "It's kind of a kick to take it off slowly, I think." Sensing his approval, she undid his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. While watching her do it, Seth shrugged off his coat. "See, don't you feel more comfortable without so many layers on?" Kate asked him.

"Certainly." Without another word he took her in his arms and they were soon intertwined together on her bed. Kate could feel his hardness through his trousers, and it was a bit of a stumble for her to undo them but it was good for a gentle laugh through their numerous kisses. Seth proved bolder than she had expected once he got started, and to her surprise Kate soon found her panties off and his gentle fingers exploring her nether-regions just as she had imagined on the couch the other day. Though it impaired her concentration, she was able to unbutton his shirt all the same. 

Kate's recent practice at moaning out loud had paid off, and she was grunting passionately well before they were completely undressed. Knowing Scott and Julie could surely hear them next door only thrilled her all the more, and she was louder than ever as the inevitable approached. Seth looked surprised at her after a particularly intense gasp. "You okay?" he asked.

"Never better," Kate whispered. "You should try it too, feels great."

"Try what?" 

"Moaning. Men don't do enough of it, in my experience. Here..." Sensing he had lost his concentration, Kate guided his hand gently into the folds of her vagina, exhaling more loudly as his touch grew more intimate. "OhhhhhhhhhhhHHH!" Catching her breath, she said, "See? Now you. Lead me." 

She reached for his cock and tickled the shaft lightly. He squealed and wiggled in delight, and Kate smiled at what must have been their most intimate moment yet. "Harder," he said. "Like this." Taking her hand, he wrapped it more firmly around himself and guided it up and down. "Oh. Oh! Yeah..." He leaned back and grabbed at the edges of the bed, as Kate enjoyed the sight and the feel. He seemed to grow even more rigid in her hand, and his breathing grew heavier and louder as well. She had succeeded. Kate would have loved to sit back and admire the view for a while, but for the fact that she had waited so very long for the big event, and here he lay beneath her and ready to go...

Kate climbed over Seth's legs and hovered just above his rigid cock. Beaming with satisfaction at her long overdue success, she rubbed him teasingly around her wet lips and slipped him just a couple of inches inside, drawing a delighted shriek from him. "That's right, Seth, you're mine now," she cooed. She pulled him back out to tease a bit more, but found her own emptiness now more frustrating than enticing. At long last she guided him all the way in. 

"Ohhhhhhhhh!" They said it together this time, to Kate's delight, in perfect harmony. Hungry with her longstanding desire that was only beginning to be quenched, she locked her knees tightly against his sides and rocked back and forth on him. "Like that, do you?" she asked between grunts and groans.

"Yesssssssssss." It was all Seth could say as she ground into him. 

It didn't take either of them very long for the first orgasm. With all night to share, they didn't stop there. Seth, now having worked through his intimidation, fingered Kate to orgasm so many more times that night that they ultimately lost count, and they made love twice more besides. It was well past midnight before they were worn out, but at long last they fell asleep together in a passionate jumble on the sheets that they had twisted every which way. They slept late, nearly as late as Kate had arisen the morning before. 

When at last they were both awake the next morning, the first order of business was some more snuggling. "This was worth waiting for," Kate murmered.

"What was?"

"Waking up with you."

"I know," Seth admitted with a grin. "I just wanted to hear you say it."

Kate burst out laughing. "That was worth waiting for too!" And she squeezed him tighter than ever. "Ready to get up? My roommates are dying to meet you, I'm sure." She could hear Julie and Scott bustling around out in the living room."

"Sure," Seth said. "But the first order of business is a shower. Don't you think?"

"Absolutely," Kate agreed, sitting up. "We did have quite a workout last night, didn't we?" With that she rose and stretched, and headed for the bedroom door. She was still nude. "Come on, get up and let's shower!"

"Aren't we going to put anything on?" Seth asked, though he did get up and join her at the door. 

"No need," Kate said, opening the door and stepping out into the hall.

"But aren't your roommates out there?" Seth asked, worried.

"They sure are," Kate told him with a grin as she walked up the hallway.
