Callista

There were some advantages to sharing an apartment with someone else. Together, she and Seth could afford a much bigger place than they good alone. It was a big, elegant place, with two rooms, a decently sized bathroom and kitchen, and Madison's room had a closet that was nearly large enough to walk into. She had used some of her savings to buy furniture; big, comfortable couches of a soft cream, with throw pillows and a blanket of matching deep, dark blue; tables, chairs, and other various pieces of furniture in a light, honey-brown wood; and even towels for the bathroom in dark blue and black.

Seth had liked the interior decorating. He hadn't liked that she'd kept him locked out of her room and at a distance since they'd moved in three weeks ago. And even though he'd agreed that they would tell no one that they were living together, he was furious that she insisted upon getting a PO box. Madison felt an odd satisfaction over that. Oddly enough, now that they were living together, she had more control than she'd had before. It was as though Seth didn't want to risk her deciding to move out.

Madison sighed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She shuffled through the stacks of papers and textbooks on her desk, looking for her algebra notebook. I'm getting so sick of homework, she thought, pushing back her chair and stretching out. Thank goodness the semester is almost over. As she was working the kinks from her muscles, Madison heard the apartment door open. Finally, she thought, getting to her feet. He was supposed to be back by six, the bastard! I'm hungry!

She got a nasty shock in the living room. Seth had brought a woman home with him; a tall, beautiful, leggy blonde. She sat on the couch, wearing only a short, skimpy red dress and a pair of high heels, one hand resting on a bag that sat on the couch next to her. I could never get my legs to cross like that, Madison thought, scowling. She set her hands on her hips and turned to glower at Seth. The smile he flashed her did not bode well.

"Maddy, this is Callista," Seth told her, indicating the blonde. "Callista, this is Madison."

Callista regarded her with lovely blue eyes and a somewhat insincere smile. "You didn't mention the glasses, Seth."
Madison backpedaled as Seth came for her. She blinked in surprise as he removed her glasses. Without them, things were a tiny bit blurry, but not by much. Then he was pulling her hair from the tight bun at the back of her neck. His fingers tunneled in the fiery red strands, in a way that was surprisingly gentle. Madison swayed on her feet, feeling confused. Behind Seth, the blonde rose from the couch and stalked forward, reminding her greatly of a hungry she-cat.

"That's more like it," Callista purred, pressing up against Madison's other side.

Madison's eyes widened. "What is she doing?!"

"Try to guess, sweetheart," Seth taunted, leaning in and pressing his mouth to hers.

She hadn't let him touch her in weeks, and that included kisses. Madison knew she couldn't resist those kisses, that started out gentle and became more forceful and passionate as they went on. She moaned softly, low in her throat, so caught up in his mouth that she jumped a foot when Callista's lips brushed her neck. The other woman laughed, soft and taunting, and Madison felt like she was being looked upon as an amusing little kitten. She wasn't sure what to make of the way the woman was pressing against her or the soft, manicured hands creeping up beneath her shirt.

"Seth…" Madison said, her voice quivering slightly.

"Hush," Seth murmured, brushing his lips over hers. "This won't be as much fun if we have to tie you down."

Madison jerked away from him, growling. Seth backed her up against the wall, grabbing for her wrists. She fought back as he pinned her wrists above her head, but she was disappointed in herself, because she wasn't fighting that hard. Although she had never considered if she had any attraction to women, Callista was beautiful. Madison watched her with wide, wary eyes as the blonde slid her hands beneath her shirt again, lifting it up. Seth's gaze was intent upon Madison, and his eyes were heavy-lidded, that sexy look that said he was really enjoying himself.

Callista pulled up Madison's bra, as well, startling her. She pressed back against the wall, as though she thought she could possibly get away, as the blonde lowered her head. The feeling of soft lips against her breast made her shiver. She gasped as Callista sucked lightly on her nipple, tugging at it until it hardened almost painfully. Madison looked up at Seth, her mind whirling with confusion and uncertainty. He was looking at her in a way that made her feel as if she was the sexiest creature on earth. Damnit, she thought, feeling her cheeks heat.

Seth's mouth pressed against her ear, his teeth nibbling at her earlobe. He shifted her wrists beneath one hand and used the other to cup her breast, teasing her other nipple. Madison relaxed against the wall, closing her eyes. Callista's mouth was warm, teasing over the curve of her breast and making her moan. No, no, no, she thought, squirming against the wall. Oh god… Callista's hands were at her jeans, unfastening them. She could not let this continue!

Before she could do anything to stop her, the blonde had slid her hand down into her panties. Madison gasped loudly at the touch of soft, feminine fingertips against her wet, aroused flesh. Callista's touch was different from Seth's; not really gentler, but softer, exploring more than going right for her clit. The other woman lifted her head, bringing her lips to Madison's. She'd never kissed another woman before, and might have pushed her away, but those slender fingers were so distracting, stroking her into further arousal.

Seth was still holding her wrists against the wall, but his hand was relaxed and she could have slipped away easily. When he lowered his mouth to her breast, taking up where Callista had left off, she didn't want to get away. The woman's fingers slipped inside her and Madison moaned, her body tightening. The blonde's tongue slid between her lips and she opened up, meeting it with her own.

Callista pulled back, although her fingers were still busy. "Bedroom?" she asked.

Seth lifted his head, smiling. "Sounds like a good idea to me."

Callista finally pulled her hand away. Madison sighed, sagging against the wall. She allowed Seth to scoop her up into his arms and carry her into his bedroom. They were on the bed, and he was busy pulling her clothes off, when Callista came in, carrying her bag. She'd kicked off her heels. Madison watched the other woman approach the bed, entranced by her graceful movements. She didn't even protest when Seth pulled off her panties, finishing undressing her.

The blonde paused before the bed, sliding the straps of her dress down and little the thin garment fall to the floor. She wore nothing underneath. Madison rose to her knees, ignoring the part of her mind that was still protesting. She could feel Seth's eyes on her, the way he looked at her, as if there was nothing in the world he desired more, and she wanted to drive that feeling home. His lips pressed against her shoulder and his hands wandered up her stomach, over her breasts; he hardly seemed aware of Callista.

"Why don't you let me warm her up?" Callista suggested, her voice soft and husky. "And then we can do what we'd planned."

"What?" Madison asked, snapping out of her daze a little. She leaned back against Seth. "What did you plan?"

"Worry not, Maddy," Seth soothed, releasing her. "Just enjoy it. Callista is very good at what she does."

She made a grab for him as he slipped off the bed. With her attention elsewhere, Callista pounced on her, bearing her down onto the bed. Madison shrieked in surprise, the sound quickly muffled by the other woman's mouth. She heard Seth's laughter and the soft rustling of cloth as he undressed, but she could see nothing. Callista's mouth was demanding, forcing her lips open so she could drive her tongue against Madison's.

The blonde then began making her way slowly down Madison's body. It didn't take long to figure out what the other woman had planned. Soft lips teased, making her shiver, and Callista's tongue left wet trails on her skin. She parted her thighs at a push of those slender, manicured hands, lifting her hips in anticipation. Madison turned her head and saw Seth watching. He knew, from his own experiences, that this was a good way to break down her will. The smug satisfaction written all over his face proved that.

In the next second she forgot to be annoyed at him. Callista was good. The tip of her tongue nudged Madison's clit, teasing in a feather light touch. She wrapped her fingers in the blonde's hair, lifting up against the heat and moisture of her mouth. Callista teased her with those little brushes for a long time, then switched suddenly to a full, languid stroke of her tongue. Madison moaned loudly, moving her hips to the rhythm of those long, pleasurable laps. She kept her eyes on Seth, on the look of unchained desire on his face.

"Make her come," Seth said softly, as he settled on the bed of the bed. "I want to hear her cries…"

Madison's breath sped, partially at the tone of his voice, but also because Callista's mouth became more insistent, sucking at her clit. Seth leaned in, his hands sliding over her breasts. She released the blonde's hair, grabbing at him instead. His mouth covered hers, muffling her cries. Madison clung to Seth, digging her nails into his back. She shuddered, her body tightening as she climaxed. Even with his mouth on hers, she couldn't quiet her loud cries.

Seth was lifting her up before she had really caught her breath. Callista had also sat up, and she was at his shoulder, whispering something to him. His expression became thoughtful, then he nodded. Madison watched them both, curious and beginning to feel uncertain again. She squeaked in surprise as Seth wrapped his arms around her, pulling her off the bed. Callista rose, pulling a blanket from the bed and spreading it on the flood.

"There isn't enough room for what Callista would like to do," Seth explained. Warm breath brushed her ear.

"What does she want?" Madison asked, eyeing the blonde as she stretched out on the blanket.

"She wants you to return the favor," Seth replied, his voice full of amusement. "Don't be shy, Maddy."

He nudged her forward. She stared with wide eyes as Callista smiled, spreading her legs. Seth urged her forward again, and she sank to her knees on the blanket. Shaking a little, Madison lowered her head between the blonde's thighs. Her first lick was shy, tentative. Callista moaned softly, lifting her hips and pressing against her mouth. Seth crouched behind her, sliding his hand down her back, murmuring softly.

"Come on," he encouraged, trailing his hand down over her ass to her thighs. "It's only fair, after all…"

His fingers slipped between her thighs, startling her. As Seth's fingertips teased her, she pressed her mouth against Callista, finding her clit with her tongue. The blonde writhed, lifting her hips up again. It was easy for Madison to tease her clit, tickling it with the tip of her tongue, then sucking on it. The other woman didn't seem to mind that she wasn't as explorative. It was hard to focus, with Seth's fingers slowly sliding in and out of her.

Strong fingers wrapped in her hair. Seth used his other hand to keep her head in place, so that she couldn't move away when Callista began to climax. "Keep going, baby," he said, his voice soft but commanding. "Lick it up." Madison's cheeks burned, but she couldn't get away. She licked away the hot, slightly tangy come that slid down Callista's thighs, licked it away from that soft, aroused flesh.

"Good girl," Seth cooed, releasing his hold on her. "Good girl, Maddy…"

She lifted her head, sucking in a deep breath of air. Madison stared up at Callista, who was watching her with heavy-lidded eyes. The blonde beckoned. She hesitated a moment, until Seth pushed her, then stretched out over the other woman, shivering at the feeling of bare skin beneath hers. Callista's eyes wandered, and by the time she realized what that devious look meant, it was too late. Madison shrieked as the blonde grabbed her, winding her arms around her and dragging her down. The shrieked changed into a moan as Seth filled her, quite suddenly, from behind.

He had his hands on her hips, lifting them up, but the rest of her was pressed against Callista. The blonde had her mouth, kissing her hungrily. Madison gripped the blanket beneath them, pinned between Seth and Callista, unable to get away, and not really wanting to. He moved inside her, fast and hard, until her already aroused body was aching from the friction. She'd wanted this for weeks, but hadn't been willing to give in. Madison lifted her mouth from Callista's.

"Harder!" she gasped, pushing her hips back against Seth's.

She was so close. He chuckled softly, pushing his body into hers. Sweat dripped down her back, and no doubt down his, as his pace increased. Seth couldn't keep it up for long, but he didn't have to. Madison pressed her face against the blonde's breasts, stifling her cry as she came. She heard Seth's groan, almost surprised in tone, and felt him come deep inside her. He sank down against her, and she could feel the hammering of his heart against her back.

It was not at all comfortable to lie in a pile like that. Despite still panting for breath, Seth moved away immediately, allowing her to get up. Madison collapsed against the side of the bed, catching her breath. I so need a shower, she thought, closing her eyes and leaning her head back against the bed. But…mmm! It had felt good. Okay, so she wasn't sure what to make of the fact that she'd enjoyed having sex with a woman. Madison would worry about that later.

A muffled sound made her open her eyes. Callista was up, leaning against Seth. Her hand was creeping slowly down his chest, and her mouth was on his neck, kissing and nipping. The fierce jealousy that rose in Madison shook her. She shot to her feet and sped from the room before she'd realized she'd done it. Stopping in her own bedroom long enough to grab her robe and pull it on, she then raced out the front door and into the soothingly cool night air. I'm not jealous! Madison thought fiercely, leaning against the wall. I'm not!

*****

Seth had taken his time cleaning himself off and getting his jeans on. He had thought about actually sleeping with Callista for all of half a second, but the idea just didn't appeal to him. Not when he knew that Madison was outside, all torn up over being jealous. Jealous, Seth thought, gloating to himself. I knew she'd be jealous. He hadn't thought she'd allow him to push her into sex with Callista, but that was really a bonus, when he thought about it.

Callista had taken a brief shower and was now dressed. Seth rose from the bed, to walk her out and to retrieve Madison. The blonde paused long enough to pull her heels back on.

"Perhaps will take it a little further next time?" she suggested, smiling up at him.

"If you want more of Maddy, I think I can arrange it," Seth told her, grinning.

Callista chuckled. "But you're no longer available for playtime, right? Ah well…I think perhaps I will be back for another taste of your delicious little red-head."

She winked at him, and he laughed. Seth held the door for her, watching the way she paused in front of Madison and kissed her cheek. He closed the door behind himself, and stood in silence while Callista walked away. Then he reached out, catching hold of Madison's hands. She turned her gaze on him, and he caught a brief flash of anger before she tamped down on it. Seth dragged her near, refusing to let go despite the way she struggled and protest.

"You know," he said softly, "jealousy becomes you, I think."

"I am not jealous!" Madison growled, pushing at him.

"Just admit it," Seth said, keeping her pressed against him. "Say it, Maddy. Tell me you don't want me looking at any woman other than you."

She stared at him, gaping in outrage. Seth leaned forward and pressed his mouth to her, hushing her sputtering. He made it a soft kiss, gentle, just tasting her. Madison relaxed a little against him, sighing softly beneath his lips, but he could feel the tenseness in her body. He pulled away, resting a hand against her cheek, gently running his thumb over her lower lip. Say it, Seth thought, staring down into her eyes. Just say it…that I'm supposed to belong to you, and only you.

Madison reached up, wrapping her fingers in his hair. He was expecting her usual carefulness, so he was surprised when she pulled his head down, jerking roughly at his hair. Seth's face was mere inches from hers and his eyes were wide in surprise. He quickly tried to hide his expression, but he had a feeling she'd seen it. Madison smiled slightly, a faint curved of her lips that was decidedly smug.

"Then you can't," she said softly. "You have to desire only me, no one else. I don't want you even thinking about any woman other than me."

Seth shivered, pressing against her. He reached down, tugging at the cinch of her robe. Madison's hands flew from his hair to his wrists, closing her fingers around them and forcing his hands to a halt. He blinked at her curiously. There was a look in her eyes, slightly pleading.

"Not out here," Madison said quietly. "Not…please, not out here…"

Seth curled his arms around her and lifted her up. She squeaked, throwing her arms around his neck and wrapping her legs around his hips. He carried her inside, biting his lip to muffle a soft moan as her teeth nibbled at his neck. Madison's teeth sank sharply into his shoulder, almost throwing him off balance. Seth made it into the bedroom and tossed her down onto the bed. He opened his pants, tugging them down just enough, then reached down and opened her robe.

She was still wet from before. He slid inside her easily, groaning softly. It was quick and hot, and over far too soon. But Madison didn't seem to be in the mood for more. She left him lying on the bed and went to take a shower. What the hell was that!? Seth thought, frowning. After what she just said… He curled up underneath a blanket, once more frustrated and confused.

Madison surprised him by coming back to his room instead of going to hers. She slid beneath the covers and pressed against him. Seth realized she was looking for comfort. From me? he wondered, closing his arms around her. Well…I suppose I can try. He heard her sigh, and it was a very tired sound. Madison turned in his arms, snuggling against him and relaxing, and he realized she was already drifting off to sleep. She's been studying hard, Seth thought, and then I wore her out with this tonight.

"Get some sleep, Maddy," Seth said quietly. He kissed her forehead gently. She made a soft, fluttering noise, like a little mewl, and was asleep within moments. He rested his head against hers and closed his eyes. Although he wasn't that tired, he felt like he could sleep with her curled up against him, keeping him warm. This was the first time she'd slept in his room since they had moved. And yet, Seth thought, somehow this still doesn't feel like victory.
