Only at that point, after Tessa had flashed him another beaming smile, did Nick unwrap his protective arms from around her petite body. Giggling as she too finally let go of him, Tessa cast a quick thankful glance at Mia, who just winked and smiled back, before stepping away down the hall, soon disappearing into the bathroom. Rooted in place, his mind working overtime to process all that had happened in the last few minutes, Nick was caught somewhat by surprise when he felt Mia’s elbow nudging his side and bringing him back to the present moment.
“It’s a good thing that Ashley is asleep…” the busty brunette mused, a note of vague concern in her sultry voice. “I don’t think she’ll take this too well when she finds out. Not one bit.”
“What do you mean?” Nick asked, his brow furrowed and his thoughts still all revolving around Tessa, his gaze drifting down to drink in Mia’s curvaceous nakedness only for an instant before he focused on her blue eyes.
“Oh come on, Nick!” Mia exhaled with a throaty laugh, spreading her arms and shrugging her shoulders in a gesture that indicated how obvious things looked to her. Receiving only a silent shake of his head in response, she sighed, turned around and strutted into the kitchen, speaking all the while. “Don’t tell me you can’t see it, a smart guy like you… But yeah, I guess you’re kind of emotional right now, I’ll give you that. Getting Tessa back must be a pretty big deal, uh?”
Feeling very emotional indeed, and considering it more than just ‘a pretty big deal’ to be so unexpectedly reunited with the girl he had loved more than any other in his life and whom he had never really stopped loving, Nick adjusted his glasses even as he forced his eyes not to linger on the extremely distracting sight of Mia’s big fleshy asscheeks bouncing deliciously with her every step and followed her into the kitchen, still not really understanding what she was talking about. As the brunette picked up the mug he had left for her, winked and smiled at him in silent gratitude and finally took a nice long sip of tea, Nick stood right in front of her and once again asked: “What do you mean, Mia? Why wouldn’t Ashley take it well?”
Raising her thin eyebrows, Mia smacked her lips in appreciation and took another luxurious drink before sighing and slowly saying: “Nick, seriously… A damsel in distress, who just happens to be your long-lost love, shows up at your door on a dark and stormy night, and she tells you that she’s finally free and she got rid of the evil little villain and broke the curse that prevented you two from being together, so now you can live happily ever after and all that lovey dovey stuff… I mean, I think it’s all great, really, you know I’m a sucker for a good old happy ending,” Mia chuckled, her mirth increased by the bafflement that her romanticized version of the night’s events had brought to Nick’s face, “but Ash is gonna freak the fuck out, I can promise you that much. You know, she’s not too clear on what being ‘buttfuck buddies’ means, and what it does not mean.”
The stress that Mia put on the word ‘not’ was more than enough to bring the point home for Nick. Mia was right, he realized. Through the years, while he and Mia had always been affectionate and close, they had also managed to reach a place of emotional stability such as neither of them would have been hurt if the other should find a new partner and decide to break their buttfuck buddies agreement. Ashley on the other hand had joined them very recently, and it was far from certain whether or not she had yet gained enough clarity not to feel stung by the arrival of someone as crucially important to Nick as Tessa. Of course Nick did love Ashley, and Mia too, and the three of them had grown to function pretty well together, with Mia spending most of her nights in the blonde’s bed while both of them fucked Nick on a daily basis, either one on one or all together. Still, Ashley’s attachment to Nick had led him and Mia to wonder on more than one occasion if the blonde might be considering Nick as her actually boyfriend in a traditional sense, which he wasn’t, and was never supposed to be.
In an instant of lucidity, Nick realized what Mia meant, and nodded his agreement while she looked at him calmly over her mug of lukewarm yet still delicious spicy green tea. Taking off the blonde’s fluffy robe and handing it to Mia, Nick sighed before saying: “I’ll talk to Ashley in the morning, or later tonight, if she wakes up.”
“Yep, that’s probably a good idea,” the brunette agreed, nodding sagely. “I don’t think she’ll wake up tonight, though. We’ve really worn her out with that DP!” Mia added with an impish grin, only to then continue: “I’ll sleep here tonight and make sure that she stays in bed even if she wakes up, so you and your cute little high school sweetheart can have some time alone. Maybe I can even butter Ash up for you a bit, you know, ease her into this Tessa situation before you talk to her tomorrow, so she doesn’t freak out too much.”
Smiling, Nick leaned closer and nuzzled the brunette’s smooth cheek before planting a smooch on it. “Thanks, Mia, really,” he said, already headed out of the kitchen. “I owe you one.”
“Yeah, you do, big time…” Mia mumbled as she watched Nick walk away, wearing only his boxers now that he had left the robe with her.
Exhaling and shrugging, Mia turned her gaze to the plate full of food that Nick had placed in the middle of the table and picked up a grilled cheese sandwich. Taking a big bite out of it, she immediately hummed in delight as the mouth-watering combination of crunchy bread and warm melted cheddar saturated her taste buds.
“Mmmh nice! That really hit the spot.”
