Chapter 35: Kyle

A Writ of Habeas Cockus

A Writ of Habeas Cockus

Author's Note: This started out as a quick coda at the end of 33 just to symbolically show Ky and Lexi are still a united front. Then we realized they had some things that might be worth talking about and, next thing you know, a whole chapter grew. This one is more character-focused and conversation-driven, but a lot of it felt important as these characters continue to evolve. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to offer feedback.

Showers were in order once everyone had calmed down a little. Rose made a sheepish effort to wipe up some of Jackie's squirt from the carpet, but there was only so much she could do. We told her not to worry too much about it; we were checking out on Sunday.

"Sorry, I warned you I can get a little wild," Rose said while we waited for the shower to warm up, a bit of her shyness returning.

"Don't you dare apologize. Orgasms like that don't grow on trees. You have to take them when you can get them," Lexi said confidently. I hugged Rose from behind and kissed the side of her neck. She leaned against me, appreciating the physical reinforcement of Lexi's words.

"A philosophical genius of our time," Jackie said, and affectionately patted Lexi's butt.

Lexi just did a quick rinse once the water was warm, then went to the counter to remove her makeup. I spent a bit longer under the spray since my crotch had been the recipient of Jackie's first orgasmic output. Once I had washed off, I left the stall to Jackie and Rose, who were cuddled together, sensually washing each other after their intense encounter. After drying off, I followed Lexi back to the bedroom. Lexi spent a moment gathering discarded underwear from the bed. Hers she tossed towards our suitcases. Rose's she neatly arranged at the end of the bed.

I picked up Lexi's and my clothes and tossed them towards the suitcases as well. I didn't think we would need them anymore that evening. Lexi picked up Rose's dress, then smoothed it carefully before laying it out. Next came Jackie's discarded clothes, which she neatly folded and set beside Rose's.

She pulled the pale purple pair of bikini panties Jackie had been wearing out of where they'd been left entangled in her jeans, and sniffed them.

"Perv," I teased her.

"Oh, shush. I never got to taste her from the source," Lexi said.

"Well, what do you think?" I asked.

"Strong, kind of musky but not bad. Smells like a real woman, ya know?" Lexi said.

"I'll tell you this, she fucks like a real woman. Phew," I said, thinking about the time I'd spent pounding the curvy raven-haired woman.

"Yeah, that was hard to miss," Lexi joked.

"Perhaps your tongue can earn you a Sigma Slut referral, as my cock did," I joked. There was a small amount of pride in my statement.

"I have no doubt those Sigma Sluts quite enjoy my brand in the bedroom," Lexi said confidently. All evidence suggested she was exactly right.

"No doubt, and there's still tomorrow. Ready to get in bed?" I asked. Lexi nodded.

Rather than assume our normal spooning formation, Lexi rolled over to face me once we were under the covers. She put a hand on my chest affectionately.

"Um, I know it's been kind of a long day, but do you think there's any chance you have another round in you?" she asked.

"I'll need a few minutes, but if there's any chance, it will be for you, babe," I told her. I was pretty sure I would get it up for Lexi. Three times a day typically wasn't a challenge. And it was Lexi.

"Ok, um, I'd like that. I definitely came with Rose, so it's not like I'm deprived or anything, but yeah. I mean, holy fuck, that was intense to watch," Lexi said. "I kind of want to reconnect with you, though."

"You're not worried about anything changing between us, are you?" I asked.

"No, definitely not. That was amazing, but just you and me is something special and different," Lexi said. Our eyes met. There was intense affection in hers, I hoped, that was reflected in my own.

"You know how much I adore your body. And your personality. We have an amazing connection. You're the best, Lex," I said.

"Can I tell you something kind of weird?" Lexi asked.

"You kind of have to with a lead-in like that," I said, and gave her a quick, reassuring kiss.

"I still think penises are kind of gross. I'm not exactly sure when that happened. Sometime after, I mostly gave up on guys, I guess? But not yours. I think yours is great. It's like, so pretty and it brings me so much pleasure. Sometimes I feel weird about that. Like, I don't know how to reconcile it," Lexi said. Her hand was tracing a pattern over my chest, as if she wanted to reassure me she was attracted to me despite her proclivities.

"I think I'm honoured," I said slowly. I did have to admit it was a weird feeling; my partner didn't really like guys. But it also made me feel like a kind of badass.

"I think you should feel that way. I hope you do. I think I told you because I wanted you to know how important and special you are to me."

"Aww, come here, you." I put my arms around Lexi and held her tightly, with her head on my chest. She sighed happily.

Our little moment was interrupted by Jackie and Rose emerging from the bathroom. Both women were nude aside from towels around their wet hair.

"You two are cute as ever," Rose said, smiling. It seemed like the sex session and long shower had taken enough time for most of the coke to wear off. She was back to her slightly demure, affectionate self. However, there was a confidence in her naked body as she strode toward us, which I was happy to see. She leaned down and kissed each of us tenderly.

Jackie did the same, although we each had just a bit of tongue action before she let us go. Her lips were soft and kissable, just like the rest of her body.

"That was our first kiss, wasn't it?" I asked, realizing it with a start.

"I kind of kissed Lexi when we were making out with Rose last night, but yeah. I didn't want you guys to think I'm a shitty kisser," Jackie said.

"You're not, sweetie. I promise," Lexi said affectionately.

"Y'all won't be offended if we find another bed tonight, right?" Rose asked.

"Not at all. Last night was fun, but it got crowded," I said. I was thinking about the request Lexi had just made. It would be tricky to fulfill if they stayed with us.

"Ok, cool, thanks for picking up our clothes, sorry again about the squirting," Jackie said.

"Oh, hush, that was one of the hottest things I've ever been a part of," I said.

"Thanks for an amazing night, see you in the morning," Rose said.

"Night girls, imagine you have a lot to talk about," Lexi said. Jackie and Rose collected their clothes and left the room, closing the door quietly behind them.

"Lot to talk about, eh?" I asked Lexi.

"I mean, you must see it right, you're a smart guy," she said.

"The 'mark me' stuff, right?"

"Yeah. Does that sound like just dirty talk with someone who doesn't mean something to you?" Lexi asked rhetorically.

"Without knowing the full scope of how they communicate, I see what you mean. It does not sound like just dirty talk," I said.

"I think Rose has feelings for Jackie. Not just best friend feelings," Lexi opined.

"That seemed too intense for just a hookup, even amongst girls who have known each other for a decade," I agreed.

Lexi nestled up against me. "I think the shit with Johnny and the fallout forced Rose to confront her feelings a little bit."

"Or at least opened the door for her to think about them. Heh, I wonder if that means the encounter we just had was basically a test drive for them as a couple playing with others," I observed.

"Could be. Or we could just be reading too much into a drug-fueled cutting loose," Lexi pointed out.

"Fair point. That would be a pretty drastic change, considering when we met them two days ago, they were a mess."

"True, but sometimes things change in a hurry. This time last Friday, I was lounging around in my sweats, sipping wine and hoping you would come over so I could show off my new lingerie," Lexi said.

"Just admire your lingerie, eh?" I teased. I looked over at Lexi, and she grinned.

"Ok, maybe I was a little bit in the mood too," Lexi admitted.

I grabbed my phone and checked the time. 11:17 PM. I held it up for Lexi to see. "I think by this time last Friday I was, in fact, admiring said lingerie."

"Not sure, you could have still been blubbering through trying to lie to me about the Bitcoin," Lexi teased.

"Jerk," I said and poked her side. She was undeterred and just snuggled closer.

"It was cute. I mean, I guess technically you didn't tell me last Friday because I didn't know any better. But the way you did it on Saturday, honestly, it changed everything. That's when I knew we were going to become something more," Lexi said.

"You sure didn't exactly come along easily," I said. I was thinking about how difficult it had been to get Lexi to understand I wanted her by my side through this adventure.

"Fair, but you get why I was hesitant to just have my life change overnight like that."

"I do. I mean, I was too. That was a big part of why I felt like I needed you with me," I said.

"You had Reed," Lexi pointed out.

I laughed. "Look, Reed's a good friend, but does anything about his actions in the last week suggest he's a stabilizing force?"

Lexi chuckled. "I see your point."

"You know, it's funny. Last Friday, I was worried I'd texted you I was coming over too late. I thought you might have another guy lined up," I admitted.

"Fuck. That makes me feel even more guilty. I'm really sorry about not telling you about the stuff with girls," Lexi sighed. "I don't deserve how understanding you've been."

"Would you like me to be more mad?" I asked.

Lexi looked up at me, her eyes searching.

"I'm serious. I mean, I'm not happy about it. If you want me to act like a petulant jackass to absolve your guilt, it wouldn't exactly be hard. I just don't think it's worth it," I said.

"Thanks, Kyle, I really appreciate that," Lexi said. The rare usage of my full name sent a clear message: she was being incredibly sincere.

"You know, in a way it doesn't make a difference, it could have been that you already had someone lined up, it just would have been a girl rather than a guy," I pointed out.

"True, although it's not like I had someone else anyway. Someone kept my dance card pretty full," Lexi pointed out. More wriggling into my side. Lexi was definitely into me tonight. That was good; the feeling was mutual.

"Same, I mean, you heard about most of my hookups with someone other than you. I assume you'd noticed those had gotten less and less frequent?" I asked.

"I did. I had mixed feelings. I liked how much time we were spending together because it was fun. But I was scared you were going to ask for more again. It was also really cutting into my time to find girls to hook up with," Lexi said.

"All that could have been resolved with one simple conversation, you know."

"Yeah, I know it was stupid," Lexi admitted.

"Well, it's worked out, I suppose. Let's look forward, not backwards. Speaking of, what do you think of the club idea?" I asked.

"I mean, I'm sure you're not surprised to learn I'm in favour," Lexi replied.

"I'm not, but I'm interested to hear your rationale. Reed is so smitten he'd probably buy it for no other reason than to make Allie happy, much less the opportunity to meet more dissatisfied LIMP wives," I said.

"Limp?" Lexi asked, confused.

"Oh, that's an acronym, Reed and I came up with. We don't want to even acknowledge that ridiculous Alpha name. It stands for Loser, Incel, Micro Penis," I explained.

Lexi giggled cutely. "A perfect encapsulation of their culture."

"Thank you, Lexicon. Now, club thoughts, nerdette." I stroked her flank affectionately.

"Well, first, just upfront, you know how much I hate toxic jackasses like these LIMPs," Lexi said and giggled again. I gathered she liked our acronym. "I mean, you do too. So there's a lot of appeal in just doing this to spit in their face. Beyond that, I do feel for these women. So I don't want to be stupid with our money, but if we run the financials and can come close to breaking even, I would like to move forward."

I squeezed her tightly and grinned. "What?" she asked.

"You saidourmoney."

"Oh, uh, whoops," Lexi said.

"Nope. This is what I want. You are on my team.Us."

"Are you sure?" Lexi asked. Our eyes met. She'd let her hair down after her rinse, and brown locks perfectly framed her pretty features in the low light of the bedside lamp. Her eyes told the story. She wanted this, but she was unsure. My heart filled with joy. I was going to give it to her. She was going to be on my team. Permanently.

I gently put my hand on the back of her neck and pressed lightly. She got the message. We met in a kiss that was more than just passionate. It was the confirmation of our connection. Lexi's arms encircled my head, one hand on the back of my head, the other holding a shoulder. My hands ran down her back and cupped her ass. I pulled her body against mine. I'm sure she felt it. I was ready for that final round with her.

The hand on my shoulder moved south, and Lexi grasped my erection. She spread her legs so she could hold it between them. Just below her pussy. I flexed my cock, so it moved up just a tiny bit and nestled between the lips of Lexi's vagina.

"Feels like someone is a little wet," I observed.

"If you recall, I had previously issued a writ of habeas corpus," Lexi said and couldn't contain her laughter.

"Oh, for fuck's sake. You're ridiculous. What does that even mean?" I asked, laughing.

"Well, corpus means the body, but I'm not interested in detaining your body. I'm interested in detaining your cock. You know, with my lady parts," Lexi said, giggling as she explained.

"You are A) a ridiculous nerd, B) dangerously close to sounding like a filthy lawyer, and C) absurdly hot," I told Lexi. I lightly pushed her shoulder. She got the message and rolled onto her back.

I climbed between her legs and positioned my dick at her entrance. "Detain me, Alexis," I said as I pushed into her wet, warm depths.

She gasped at my intrusion, and then she laughed. "You are staying in jail until you pay your, um, duties."

"How did we go from cute connection confirmation to you fucking legal eagling me into cumming in you?" I asked, laughing.

Lexi laughed. "You should have saved that one for Allie," she admonished.

"Sex really shouldn't be this funny," I said. "It doesn't bother you that we get a little silly during sex sometimes, does it?"

"I consider it a feature, not a bug. Plus, you have this thing about always making sure your girl gets off first," Lexi said. Her eyes were boring into mine. Our connection was strong. Extremely strong.

"Yes, core principle. Your pleasure is my pleasure."

"And that, right there, Kyle Kinnick, might be why you are the only man whom I have any interest in fucking."

Lexi's words, again breaking out my full name, were like a shock to my system. I didn't need any more encouragement. I began to move inside her, slow and deliberate at first, before building a steady, unhurried pace.

Lexi's hands slid up my arms to my shoulders, her fingers gripping me tightly as she arched her lower back to meet each of my thrusts. "Fuck Ky, I love the way you feel inside me. I still can't believe I enjoy a dick as much as I enjoy yours."

I met Lexi's eyes. Her lips were pursed. There was a vulnerability there, but also a desire. I determined this was a 'show rather than tell' moment and focused on our lovemaking.

Lexi was obviously enjoying the sensations. So was I. She was tight, wet, warm and hardly a passive participant. She moved her hips; she used her Kegels. I was a lucky guy.

"Ky," she moaned, her voice losing its teasing edge and dissolving into pure, unadulterated need. "I'm getting close." I knew how to handle that prompt. My right thumb went to her clit. I didn't stop thrusting.

"Do it for me, Lex," I murmured.

Her hips jerked upward, grinding against me, and her inner walls clamped down tight around my shaft. She let out a long, shuddering sigh as the orgasm rolled through her body. I felt every tremor, her hands pulling me flush against her chest as she rode out the climax.

"That was fucking great," Lexi said, her green eyes boring into mine. "You're going to give me your fucking cum now, right? That's only fair. I want it."

This was some of the best sex I'd ever had. I was powerless, nor did I want to resist Lexi's exhortations. With one last thrust, I put my arms around Lexi and held her tight as I buried myself to the hilt inside her and let go. It was glorious.

We lay like that, with our arms around each other, for several minutes. My weight was on my elbows underneath Lexi, so I wasn't worried about crushing her. She was working my cock, which was now softening and sensitive, with a sort of light version of her Kegel stimulation. It was quite the feeling.

I tried to think of what to say. I wasn't sure I had quite the right words to articulate how I felt. Lexi seemed like she might have the same issue. We bridged the gap with a soft, sensual makeout session, reinforcing our connection.

After a few minutes, we did a cursory cleanup and climbed back into bed. This time, there was no debate. We got straight into our standard formation: me as big spoon, Lexi cuddled up tight with my arms wrapped around her.

"Thanks, Ky. Tonight was perfect. In so many ways," Lexi said quietly. I didn't say anything, I just kissed the side of her neck below her ear and squeezed her to me. There was nothing to say. She was right.
