Shades of Gray -- Ch. 8 is up.

Seth grit his teeth and glared across the table at Amelia. He wanted to lean over and scream in her face. Was she trying to make him kill himself? Amelia went on chatting, completely missing the look on Seth’s face. The twins, sitting on either side of him with their sly little smiles and raven hair, had completely won her over. She had come home just as the twins were leaving (after napping on Seth’s bed, during which Seth could not untangle himself from them, so guess who took a nap, too?), and Seth watched from the window as she invited them over for dinner.

This was going to be bad. He didn’t know how it was going to be bad, but he knew somehow that the twins were going to make this as uncomfortable as possible for him. He poked moodily at his food. He had no appetite at all. His ass hurt, his jaw hurt, his scalp hurt... and his cock hurt. He looked up as the twins laughed in unison at something his mother said. He looked left, and wished he hadn’t. Casey caught his eye, and gave him such a sex filled, sultry, promising look that he felt his cock twitch. He looked away quickly, flushing, completely missing the question Cayden had asked Amelia.

“Maria’s met a friend, and is spending the night at their house, and Joseph had to work late, so it’s just us.” Amelia said. “I’m leaving again after dinner, too.”

Seth’s head snapped up. “What?!” he practically shouted, and everyone at the table looked at him. Amelia nodded his head, explaining something about drinks with some guy who owned a gallery in the closest city. Seth felt a soft, creeping hand slide up his thigh, one on each side, and realized Amelia had just set him up to be knocked down. Seth kept his mouth shut for the rest of the meal, trying furiously to figure out a way to get the twins out of the house and away from him. He prayed that his father would come home soon.

The twins helped Amelia clear the table, and Seth watched them, the strange, simultaneous grace of their movements, the slight roll of their hips as they walked, the delicate surety of their long, talented hands. He realized that they almost beautiful, in an uncomfortable sort of way; they were like some exotic deadly animal. They were two bodies with one mind, and those bodies were ethereal and slim and enticing. He shook his head hard, trying to clear it, telling his brain to keep its filthy comments in back where they belonged.

The overwhelming shame he felt over what they’d done to him, and what he’d done to them, had nearly paralyzed him at first. He’d just laid between them, listening to the way one would breathe in when the other breathed out. He called himself every horrible thing he could think of, made list after list of why it was wrong, how it was wrong… he’d furiously fought back tears for most of it, too. But no matter how terrible it made him feel, no matter how hard he tried to tell himself otherwise, he knew that it would happen again, should the twins want it to. He knew that if they said it, he’d do it. Call it his raging teenage libido it you wanted, all he knew was the part of him that had stopped caring about morality was louder in his head, and all that part wanted to know was how long it had to wait until the twins wanted to play again.

About five minute, it found out. The twins stood in the archway of the dining room, their heads tilted, listening as Amelia’s car drove away. When they were satisfied she was gone, they turned their attention back to Seth, who was still sitting at the table, his head in his hands.

“Your mother is very sweet.” Casey told him, walking around the left side of the table. “She was pleased to hear that our fathers work together.”

“We can’t wait to meet your little sister, either.” Cayden added, going the other way. “You have such a nice family.”

They stopped beside him, and each put a hand on one of his shoulders. He shuddered but didn’t move away. There was no point. Even if he could rein in that part of him that wanted the twins, they obviously weren’t the type to take no for an answer. Seth stood up on shaking legs, and the twins smiled at him.

“Come upstairs.” He said, sounded tired and resigned. In truth, his heart was pounding and his dick was already hard. The twins glanced at each other, seeming to discuss the idea of going up to the room without having to talk at all. Then Cayden pulled Seth down until he could kiss him. It was almost sweet, his tongue moving delicately, and Seth closed his eyes and let it happen. Then Casey pulled him away, fastening his own lips in place of his twin’s, and Seth honestly couldn’t tell the difference. Somehow that was incredibly arousing, and he moaned when Cayden grabbed him away from Casey again, like a child snatching candy from a playmate. Cayden’s tongue thrust into his mouth, the delicacy replaced with a force Seth would’ve never expected out of a boy so slim, so fragile looking, had he not been subject to it before. He felt Casey’s hands slide under his shirt, running up his ribcage to brush his nipples with smooth, warm fingertips. He grabbed Cayden by the back of the head with one hand, keeping him firmly against his mouth, and groped around behind him until he found Casey with the other. Casey went up on his toes a little and ran his tongue along the back of his Seth’s neck, the bit at his skin playfully. Seth’s knees suddenly buckled, and had the twins not completely wrapped around him like leeches, he would’ve just slithered to floor and stayed there.

The twins both stopped at the exact same time, as if they’d frozen. Seth had noticed nothing, so when they both backed away from him, straightening their clothes, he was confused as hell. They glanced at each other, doing that talking without words thing, then turned back to Seth.

“Our father is home.” Casey told him. “We have to go.”

“We’ll come back another time.” Cayden said, and they both smiled before turning and leaving the house.

Seth stood in the dining room, disheveled, panting, and confused. He couldn’t seem to get his feet to move. He stood there, glaring at the door, somewhere between immense relief and crushing disappointment, until the phone rang. It startled him so badly he yelped. Scowling, he stomped over to where the cordless sat on the bar near the window. He snatched the phone off the cradle. “Hello?” he barked into the phone.

“Hiya Seth!” Maria chimed, and his erection deflated like a popped balloon. Nothing like your sister’s bright and cheerful voice to kill the mood of being molested by twins.

“Hey Maria. Amelia said you were staying at a friend’s tonight.”

“Yea, that’s actually why I’m calling. Aurora wants to go to a movie, but her dad said we can’t unless an adult goes too, so I was wondering…”

“Is it a chick flick?”

She laughed. “No, it’s a horror movie. I’ll pay for your ticket and buy you Sno Caps.” She knew this usually worked on him; he was like an addict with those things. “She can drive.” She added.

“Okay.” Seth agreed, and had to hold the phone away from his ear to keep from going deaf at Maria’s delighted squeals. She told him they would pick him up in twenty minutes, which seemed just about the only time frame the town ran in. After hanging up, he went upstairs and changed his clothes.

He sat on the front porch with Ruby. They were actually about half an hour, which annoyed him, but the sight of Maria’s new friend pretty much killed any aggravation he had for their tardiness.

Aurora was obviously Native American, with deep, rich toned skin and ink colored hair in a braid down to her waist. She was wearing a pale blue dress that showed off her slim curves and her wonderfully long legs. He was practically drooling when Maria introduced them, and he shook her hand and missed what she said to him in favor of watching the way her lips moved. Maria smacked him in the arm and gave him a warning glare, and he focused on her repeat of the question.

“I asked how you were liking Somewhere.” She laughed at him, a high, pretty sound, and he smiled at her.

“It’s… different.” He said, and she nodded.

“Seth had really only met the twins across the street.” Maria told her. “This will be his first time actually going out.”

They got into the car, and Seth stared out the window and just enjoyed the drive. When they got to the movie theater, Aurora slipped her arm through his, startling him. “Maria tells me you’re going to college next year. Any idea what you’ll study?”

“Seth wants to be a psychiatrist.” Maria told Aurora.

“I need a psychiatrist.” He muttered. Aurora didn’t hear him, thankfully.

The movie was about a group of teenagers who get slaughtered during a camping trip. It was stupid, pointless, and full of gore, exactly what Seth needed to keep his mind off of the twins. Aurora was an added bonus distraction; he sat between the girls, and every time something scary would happen, Maria would scream and cover her face, but Aurora would bury hers against Seth’s arm and squeal. Every time she jumped, her skirt would ride up a little, and Seth found himself watching that more than the movie.

About an hour or so into the slasher flick, Maria got up and headed for the bathroom. Aurora hadn’t heard her say where she was going, so she leaned up and put her lips close to Seth’s ear to ask him. He shuddered a little, his mind straying to things he’d like to have her lips do to him. He turned his head to answer her, and when he put his mouth near the side of her head, her hand came up and touched the back of his neck for a moment. It was only a brush of her fingers, but he suddenly had the overwhelming urge to drag her into the parking lot and have his way with her in the backseat of her car.

The rest of the movie went by without him seeing any of it.

On the ride home, Aurora and Maria talked constantly, so Seth had time to just sit back and think about what had happened. He was overjoyed by the fact that Aurora had such a powerful affect on him; that meant he wasn’t totally insane. He decided, right then and there, to pursue her. He didn’t know her, but that didn’t concern him. It didn’t matter if she was vapid and flaky, or if she was stupid as a brick. What mattered was proving to himself that what had happened with the twins was lapse of judgment and nothing more.

They pulled into the driveway, and all three of them went inside. Maria bounced upstairs, claiming she needed some things before she could stay over at Aurora’s, and that left the two of them alone.

“So you got to school with Maria, huh?” Seth asked her.

She nodded. “We have the same art class. I’m a senior though.” Maria was a junior.

“So you’re what, seventeen?”

“I’ll be eighteen next week, actually.” She said, and he grinned. At least his didn’t have to worry about that. “Why do you ask?” she tilted her head, reminding him briefly of the twins, and he looked away.

“Well, I was wondering if you and I could go out some time.” He asked, and risked a glance at her.

She was smiling happily. “I would love that.” She said softly. “How about tomorrow afternoon?”

“Great.”

“I can pick you up and show you around the town. There’s some nice things here, even if it does look like a hick town at first glance.”

“That sounds perfect.”

She leaned up and kissed his cheek a split second before Maria came downstairs. They both acted as though nothing had happened.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aurora picked him up at noon, and the first thing they did was eat. It turned out there was a fantastic coffee shop in the middle of downtown that made one of the best sandwiches Seth had ever eaten. The place was very nice, and when they had finished eating, they walked down the street towards a music store. They had talked pretty much nonstop through lunch, and Seth was pleased to realize that Aurora was smart, and incredibly charming. They had a lot in common.

They went inside, and it was quickly apparent that one thing that did not have in common was their taste in music. Seth had always loved weirder music with female singers, like Cat Power, The Dresden Dolls, and Bjork. He found that sort of stuff soothing, even when it was something discordant and loud like the Dolls. Aurora, on the other hand, went directly for stuff like Mayday Parade and Panic! At The Disco, which he’d always despised. They agreed to disagree, but Aurora said she wanted to look around anyway, so Seth wandered, hoping to come across something to catch his attention. He saw there was a back room full of old vinyls, so he went in there.

What caught his attention was not the music choices, but the slim, raven haired twin sitting behind the back counter. He had his feet propped up on the counter, his chair rocked back onto two legs, and was staring down at the cell phone in his hand. He flipped the phone open to use the keyboard, and typed something, a tiny smile on his face.

Seth turned and attempted to disappear without being noticed by whichever twin it happened to be.

“Hello, Seth.”

Fuck.

He felt the twin’s hand slide up his spine to the space between his shoulder blades. “It’s so nice to see you again.” The twin purred, leaning up to run his tongue along the shell of Seth’s ear. Seth was in very plain sight of everyone in the music store, and he specifically was worried about Aurora. He took a step backwards, forcing the twin to do the same, and then grabbed him by the front of the shirt and hauled him out of the line of sight from the door. The twin came along with him, grinning, but didn’t stop like Seth expected him to. He reached around behind Seth, fumbling with something, and then Seth nearly fell flat on his ass as the closet door he’s unknowingly been leaning against opened. He grabbed the twin to steady himself, and caught a brief glimpse of the mischievous look on his face before the door shut again and there was complete darkness. Before he could even bother to voice a protest, he was pushed back against what felt like a shelving unit and kissed roughly. He felt the twin’s hands on his belt buckle, heard the tiny, impatient moaning sound the twin was making, and reached up blindly until he found his shoulders. His brain told his hands to push him away, but of course he treacherous body did the precise opposite of what it was told, the tenuous hold he had on his ability to stop this before it got too far snapped. He grabbed a handful of the twin’s hair, his other hand burrowing its way under his shirt, feeling the smooth, taut skin of his stomach against his fingers. The twin bit at Seth’s bottom lip, then broke the kiss and slid down to his knees, taking Seth’s jeans and boxers with him. There was a brief moment where neither of them moved, and then the twin’s hot, wonderfully mobile tongue wrapped around the head of Seth’s cock.

Seth leaned his head back against the shelf, his hands buried in the twin’s hair, and closed his eyes. This had to stop. He knew it did. Every part of him was telling him to put an end to this situation, but his body had no intention of taking orders at the moment.

He wondered how long Aurora would wait before figuring he ditched her and let him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It turned out that the whole thing took less than ten minutes, and Aurora hadn’t even noticed his absence. He’d climaxed so violently he thought he was going to pass out, and actually had to sit down for a few moments while the twin at his feet cleaned him off with his tongue. Then the twin stood up, pressed a light kiss to his lips, and went back to work as though nothing had happened. It took Seth a while longer to get himself together.

Aurora looked up from a CD she was holding when he reappeared and gave him a bright smile. “Saw you go into the vinyl room. Pretty cool, huh? You find anything good?”

This statement made Seth bark out an uneasy, startled laugh. “Yea. But I don’t know if I’m willing to pay that much for it.” She nodded widely, and he looked away.

“I’m going to buy this.” She held the CD up. “Then we can go to the bookstore.” He followed her to the register, where she paid for her CD, and then they went back out onto the street. She slipped her and into his shyly, as though he was going to snatch his own hand away. He closed his fingers tightly around hers, and she blushed and smiled at him.

The bookstore was on the other side of the street, so they ran across quickly to avoid getting run over. Aurora was already talking again, about books she liked to read. Again, they had nothing in common. She was a trashy romance kind of girl, with a bit of true crime thrown in there. Seth was more into fantasy and sci-fi.

He let go of Aurora’s hand and opened the door for her. She thanked him, smiling, and went inside. Seth followed after her, but as soon as the door shut behind him, he wished to God he could just turn and run back out.

The twin at the counter looked up and grinned at him.
