The three ate dinner and drank some more wine before Marie brought out the cake and champagne. Jimmy congratulated his stepdaughter all over again as he popped the cork and made Marie and Brie laugh as it bubbled over a little bit. Brie was going to swear off things like this soon, but she enjoyed every bite of the cake tonight. She helped Marie clean up and soon the woman went home to her cottage on the property where she lived with her husband, Kenny. Brie felt a little buzzed as she wandered through the house towards her room and also a bit melancholy as she thought about Rick. She had thought that she loved him, and now she was alone with no man at all.

Brie hadn’t had sex with Ricky, but they did other things that piqued her interest in sex a lot. She was bothered by the fact that she would have no outlet anymore, and it made her wonder what Jimmy was doing since her mom had died. He didn’t wait long to start dating, but it wasn’t quite dating. Brie only caught glimpses of the women that he brought home since they had a separate door to leave from in the basement. They were never the same ones. She knew that he tried to keep it separate from her as much as possible, and Brie appreciated that on some level. She was just more curious about all of it now.

She heard the television in the den and assumed that Jimmy was watching something as he worked on his laptop. He always worked when he wasn’t busy with other things. Whether it was at his office in the city or here, Jimmy was a workaholic. It apparently worked for him since he was rich with a good house and nice cars. He provided very well for Brie and she appreciated that.

Brie wandered to her room and turned on her laptop. Since she didn’t have Ricky’s hand or mouth anymore, it was time to take matters into her hands. She found a website that sold sex toys and slowly looked over the selection, quickly realizing that she didn’t know too much about any of this. There was a selection of the most popular items and she clicked on a couple of vibrators before she added them to her cart and paid for them to be shipped quickly to her house.

Brie blushed even though she was alone in her room, both from excitement and embarrassment. She had asked for fast shipping, seeing no reason to wait to start this journey.

The next few days, Brie hung around the house and the pool just being lazy. The UPS man delivered a very plain box by her second day in, and Brie took it to her room before Marie saw it and asked what she had received. She looked at her locked door and turned on some music as she opened it to find a long thick rubber dildo that she could use in a few ways as well as something that would just stimulate her clit, from what the description said. She turned them in her hands before she went online and found an erotic story site to find something that might start her in this process.

There were a lot of different stories to choose from, and Brie settled on the taboo section. That sounded so naughty. Surprisingly enough, there were several stories involving stepbrothers as well as stepfathers, and she widened her eyes as she clicked on one of the latter ones. Brie laid against her pillows and pulled off her bathing suit bottoms as she started to read it. Her fingers slipped over her folds as things heated up quickly in the beginning and she felt around to see what was the best. Ricky had always favored her clit, and Brie found it and stroked it as she felt herself getting wet rapidly.

When she got to the part where the stepfather was in between his own stepdaughter’s legs, Brie felt for the rubber cock and turned it on to a slow vibration. She stroked her clit with it as she felt her eyes roll back into her head. Brie focused again on the story as she read how eagerly the girl sucked his cock and she turned it up and moved it faster against her swollen nub. It was an amazing feeling, and she slipped the tip inside of her just a little while she continued to hold it against her body. Brie pushed the computer aside and drove it slowly into herself as she came quietly with pants and breathy moans.

She didn’t regret losing Ricky so much now. He wasn’t as good as her new best friend and had only raised her interest in sex. Brie dropped her toy on the bed and relaxed as she wondered what more there could be to feel.

She looked at the clock to see that Kat was coming over to swim soon and quickly rinsed off in the shower before pulling on her bikini. Kat Adams had been her best friend for years now, probably since first grade. They connected immediately then and still got along just as well. Kat was a huge part of Brie’s healing process.

Brie answered the door when the beautiful black haired girl arrived in her bright pink bathing suit and gave her a hug. “Hey you. Have you been as lazy as me so far this summer?”

“Badly. I think we need to do something soon.” Brie laughed as she looked around her house. “Well, other than this.”

“Hey, I love your house,” Kat argued as she walked inside and glanced into the kitchen. “Hey there, pretty lady.”

“Well, well. I was wondering when you’d pop in for a visit.” Marie came over to hug Kat, and she eyed her bikini. “You pull that off so well.” Brie’s suit was just a soft green and nowhere near as an attention getter like Kat’s. “Go on out, girls. I’ll bring you some refreshments.”

They headed out to the large pool, complete with a hot tub and a grilling area and set up their chairs under the trees for a little shade. They liked the sun, but they weren’t looking to get skin cancer anytime soon. Brie popped her Pod into a docking station and turned on some upbeat music as she thought about how she felt after what she’d done in her room. She still felt a little wobbly and couldn’t wait to do it again. “So is that hunk of a step dad going to be home for dinner?” Kat asked as Brie shook her head at her and laughed. Most of her friends weren’t shy about their interest in Jimmy but today it made her heat up just a little. She didn’t tell them all of what went on in her house and what she heard through closed doors, just that he was a good dad.

“Usually does,” Brie replied as she slipped sunglasses over her eyes.

“I hear he’s busy. I guess he wanted to jump back into the game, right?” Kat asked as she gave Brie as sad look.

“I suppose. I don’t see it too much. He’s forty and still has a good life to live. Let him.” Brie defended him as Kat nodded slowly.

“He slept with a girl at school. A senior. I guess he is into some wicked shit.”

“At least someone in this house is getting some.” Brie snapped as Kat leaned back and put on her own sunglasses.

“You won’t be single forever. I mean, look at you. We’ll get you out of this house, and you’ll be right back in.” Kat assured her as Brie took a deep breath.

“I waited a year with Ricky. It was a hard process and not always easy…I can’t imagine going through that again.”

“You don’t have to. Just meet someone for the moment. You don’t need to date them.” Kat explained as Brie scowled.

“I wanted my first time to be something special. I can’t stomach the idea of a one-night-stand.”

“So make it a one week stand or a month.” Kat offered as Brie looked at her in frustration. “Okay, okay. We won’t talk about it today.” Marie came out with a tray of various snacks and some cold drinks and chatted with the girls for a moment before heading inside. “Do you think she’s slept with Jimmy?”

“Marie is as married as she could be. They’ve been together for twenty years, Kat. No, I don’t.” Kat shot back in a dark voice as her best friend stared at her before popping a chip into her mouth.

“I was kidding. Why are you acting this way?”

“I think I am still dealing with the whole Ricky thing. I’m sorry.” Brie looked at her friend. “Did you know about him?”

“I heard things but…I don’t like to get into your business. I mean, I am your best friend, so it was hidden pretty well from me. I think I’ve heard more about Jimmy, to be honest.” She held up her hands as Brie looked at her. “He’s a hot older man, Brie! We’re supposed to look at him and think like this at our age. Have you read some of the books out there?” Brie blushed and turned her head to reach over for the cold lemonade in a hurry.

“They’re crazy. I know. I just don’t think I should be thinking like that about him.”

“I would if he were my stepdad,” Kat suggested as she grabbed her drink and took a sip.

Brie sipped her drink as she leaned her head back and caught movement in a window. She knew that she had her sunglasses on so she remained still as Brie realized that it was Jimmy’s office. Had he come home? If so, he was watching them, and she felt goose bumps pebble over her skin as she shivered.

The girls chatted and swam throughout the afternoon, though Brie’s stepfather never made an appearance, at least not until dinner needed to be prepared. He grilled burgers outside as Marie and her husband joined them for dinner. It was relaxing on the surface, but Brie felt skittish, and she wrapped the towel around her body as she ate at the potion table and picked at her food.

Jimmy seemed at ease as he sipped a cold beer and talked to Vince about whatever guys talked about and the women chatted about the celebrity gossip and some of the plans for the summer.
