With that, I leaned forward slightly with the clear intention of kissing her. She readily accepted the touch of my lips to hers, and when she felt that it was a kiss of love and affection, she readily returned it. When I pulled my head back afterwards, I could see that I'd touched her heart, as I'd hoped to do. As we sat there looking into each others eyes, I slowly raised my hand from her waist, keeping a light contact with her body so that she would know where my hand was moving. It wasn't but a few seconds before my hand was cupped under her breast, feeling how heavy and full her mammary was. From the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger, I don't think that I reached even a third of the way around her breast, and certainly no more that half the distance from the base to its peak.
I waited until she gave me a small nod, letting me know that she was okay with what I was doing before beginning a gentle exploration of her bust, always moving slowly enough that she would have ample time to object to anything I was doing.
It didn't take me all that long to make a number of discoveries. Chief among them was that her breasts were a lot firmer than I would have expected – or even thought they could be; the slight sagging I'd seen was due entirely to their size, and nothing else. They were also surprisingly warm; I somehow had the idea that as large as they were, they'd feel cooler because of heat loss or something. There was nothing to mar the lovely expanse of either one of them, and I was pleased to note that my ministration had resulted in her areolas puckering a little bit, and her nipples getting a trifle longer.
With one hand still on her waist, I didn't have any problem feeling it as she got more comfortable and relaxed about having my hand wandering across her bust. Still, I waited until I was sure that she had completely accepted my touch before lowering my hand to her waist again.
She was looking at me in expectation when I told her "You said that you didn't think that you were ready for anything more, and I'm perfectly willing to accept that, and stop here. And just so you know, I don't think that what happened between us tonight has anything to do with when it's you and me and Elisse – this was just you and me, and that's the way it'll stay, until and unless you decide differently. The same way, it's up to you to let ME know if and when you want to continue this; if we happen to be by ourselves, I'm not going to take it as an opportunity to look down your blouse or start touching you. Okay?"
She gave me a pleased smile before answering "Thank you, Jim. You told us before that you aren't going to start anything with us, or push us, and you haven't. You've done a lot to help me tonight, and done it with grace and patience. I was glad when you agreed to help me and Lis start a family, but after tonight, I'm actually happy about it – that it's you, I mean."
I just smiled in reply before telling her "I think I'd better be heading home, before Demosthenes forgets who he owns", making her laugh. After she got off my lap, I stood up, and the two of us made our way to the front door. Before I could open it, though, she took my arm and gently turned me to face her before moving close and giving me a hug, and kiss on the lips. Her nude body felt real good against mine, and I didn't hesitate to hug her back – and even caress her back a little bit. After we'd wished each other a good night, I slipped out the door, then waited until I heard her lock it before starting toward where I'd parked my car.
The next time the three of us got together, it was so that we could all go to a traveling circus that had come to town; though there wasn't any real intimate contact between any of us, there was plenty of hand-holding, hugging, and even some kissing. They were both amused and disgusted when I bought them a bag of Genuine Elephant Poop (it even said so, right on the bag) as fertilizer for the garden they had in the back yard.
After that, we spent the better part of a day and evening at the State Fair, enjoying a variety of shows, exhibits, and rides. We made a pass through the midway, and Elisse surprised the hell out of me by knocking over enough lead milk bottles to win a large stuffed dog. Nothing for me to do, of course, but have a try at something I thought I could win at; remembering some of the math and physics I'd learned in college, I figured I might be able to do pretty well at ringing the bell with the big mallet. It was close, but I managed a weak but distinct ring on the last try I needed to earn a stuffed bear – which I promptly turned over to Elisse and Gina, saying "I hope you'll have somebody that will like this, before long", and drawing a few happy tears from each of them. By the time we were ready to leave, all three of us were tired, a little queasy from all the junk food, and happy as we could be.
That meant that our next get-together happened at my apartment. We agreed on them coming over around mid-afternoon on a Saturday, so that we could spend a few hours around the communal swimming pool at my apartment complex. When they came out of my bedroom after changing into their suits, I wasn't entirely sure that taking them down to the pool would be a very good idea. Gina in the surprisingly skimpy bikini she had on was an invitation to riot; the addition of Elisse in another bikini that barely covered the essentials was simply asking for trouble, as far as I was concerned. But we went on down, anyway, and ended up having a good time. There were a few guys that tried to put a move on one or the other of them, only to slink away when told "Thank you, but my friend and I are with Jim, over there – and he's more than enough for BOTH of us!". It apparently didn't take long for word to get around the other single guys that it was best not to bother those two.
Once we were back in my apartment, I was in for another shock. Both of them insisted that I rinse off from the pool first; I did, got dressed again, and was out in the living room when Elisse came out after cleaning up – stark naked, as she casually dried her hair with a towel. The first thing I noticed (!) was that her pelvis was as bare as it could be; I could easily see the edges of her labia in the cleft of her sex. When I was able to pull my eyes away from that sight, I got my first look at her breasts. Sized and shaped as my hand and fingers had found them, I saw that her nipples were a light brown, with areolas that were only a little bit bigger in diameter. On her slender frame, her bust looked a bit larger than it actually was – not that I'd complain, or anything. Her skin was a slightly tawny expanse of unblemished perfection.
When Elisse was done drying her hair, she casually arranged the towel she'd been using into some kind of turban to hold it in place. By that time, I'd managed to shift my attention so that I wasn't taking any obvious notice of her, though the image of her was still in my mind. After I'd taken a couple of seconds to regain my composure, I turned my head her direction again. Letting her see me looking her over for a couple of seconds, I casually asked if she had any thoughts about what she wanted to do – a movie? some music? I had a couple of board games, if she'd like to try something she probably hadn't done in a while…
Smiling, she said she'd wait and see if Gina had any preferences; she needed to get something to drink, first. With that, she made her way toward the kitchen, giving me the opportunity to watch her small, tight ass moving away from me.
She was back in just a couple of minutes, and we were standing there chatting when Gina came out, wearing only a pair of panties, and nothing else. Pretending that half-naked buxom blonds was something I saw every day, I asked Gina much the same question I'd had for Elisse. Gina said that a board game might be fun, but would leave it up to Elisse. After a few moments, Elisse decided that a game of Monopoly was called for – that she hadn't played it since before she started middle school.
It took almost four hours before the game ended. Part of that was because we weren't in any hurry – at least, I wasn't with the two of them to look at as long as the game was going on. The first to get pushed out was Gina, when she started landing on hoteled properties that weren't hers. Elisse and I fought it out, tooth and nail, until I had enough properties that she was landing on my stuff a lot more than I was landing on hers. The end came when she has the misfortune to land on my Park Place (with a hotel, of course) with only $240 and no property. Teasing me, she thrust her chest out at me (oy!) and coyly asked "Is there anything else I can do to try and work this out with you?", prompting Gina to start giggling.
