Nicole
The entire time that she had been blindfolded, her heart raced out of control, threatening to escape, or maybe just get lodged in her throat. She was scared out of her mind, but she also felt like she had something to prove.
She’d really hoped that two other people were there too - her ex-boyfriend Elijah and her former roommate Margot. Wouldn’t they be surprised, when the blindfolds came off, that she was brave enough to stick it out and suck a stranger’s cock after she had declined to do the same for Elijah? He had actually called her a baby, telling her that she needed to grow out of her little hangups. And when she poured her heart out to Margot, she only heard the same thing from her.
“Oh my God, are you serious? Why the fuck not?” Margot furrowed her brow looking back at Nicole as if she was entirely unreasonable to deny her boyfriend a blowjob. “It’s not such a big deal. You guys have been dating for a while. If you want to keep the relationship going, at some point, you have to make the next step.”
“I get him off like every time we hook up though!” Nicole pleaded her side. “I just… don’t want to put that thing in my mouth.” She made a face after the words left her lips. “An orgasm is an orgasm, right?” But Margot was already shaking her head.
“No, no it’s not. You can’t expect to go away to college and have guys be satisfied with handies. Elijah’s right - you gotta grow up.”
This was her chance to do it, to get the whole thing over with and rub it in both of their faces. Only when the blindfolds finally came off, neither Elijah nor Margot were there. Nicole felt her face flush and her lower lip tremble. They wouldn’t know. She’d have to keep this whole thing a secret from them even though this was probably the biggest risk she’d ever taken in her life. This was by far the most exciting thing she’d ever done and she had felt so proud of herself for it, until she saw that no one there would even know what a huge step this was for her.
Well, maybe the guy whom she had sucked knew. He could probably tell that it was her first blowjob from how terrible she was at it. Nicole wanted to cry. She looked over the other guys from her grade and the girls, and she barely knew any of them. She couldn’t even count on any of them blabbing to her exes about what she had done.
Falling asleep that night after everything that happened was a lost cause. She went over it all in her head, again and again. The pledge that they made, the way that she took that thick cock in her mouth and sucked it like it was a straw cause there was nothing else she could think to do. The owner of the penis had given her some pointers, which she certainly appreciated and when he filled her mouth with cum, it wasn’t as bad as she had imagined. For a moment there, she even wondered what she had made such a big deal about, to begin with.
But now, she was in a situation that she couldn’t simply leave. Sure, getting tested for STDs and asking for a birth control prescription was simple enough, but what would the next challenge be? Would she be able to complete it? And how would she handle it if one of the elder society members asked her for sex? The rules said that she couldn’t decline, but she was still a virgin! Would she have to part with it now on someone else’s whim?
Nicole had not planned on waiting until marriage, but she was planning on having it be a serious boyfriend in a long-term relationship, not some random man she’d met for the first time. Would it all be worth it in the end with all the perks that this society supposedly afforded its members?
“Good Morning, Nicole! How are you doing?” A tall blond sat down beside her on the bench outside the academic building, handing her a Starbucks cup. It took Nicole a second to recognize her as one of the Primrose Society members who appeared to be in charge that night she had been inducted.
“Hi. I’m ok. Thanks.” Nicole accepted the drink topped with whipped cream inside the domed lid.
“I’m Hannah.” The woman smiled at her pleasantly before taking a sip from her own cup. “Good job on leveling up with your clean bill of health.” She raised her cup to toast Nicole who awkwardly touched her drink to the other woman’s. “Now, for the next level, it won’t be quite so easy.”
“The first one wasn’t that easy either. The second was certainly the most my speed,” Nicole admitted before she took her first sip of the drink Hannah had brought her. To her relief, it wasn’t coffee - probably just an iced hot chocolate. Coffee really wasn’t among her preferred drinks.
“Well, then the next one will be downright treacherous,” she said taking something out of her purse. She extended a card out to Nicole to take. It was a plain white business card with a yellow primrose pictured at the top and a grid with two columns and five rows beneath it. Nothing about it was self-explanatory.
“What do I have to do with this?” Nicole asked while Hannah sipped her coffee.
“All you have to do to move up to Level 3 is get to know the other society members in your class. By fucking five of them.” She said it so matter-of-factly, that Nicole was waiting for her to follow it up with an admission that she was kidding. But she didn’t.
“I have to have sex with five different people?” Nicole whispered back before looking around herself to check if anyone was within earshot.
“Yup. It’s a great icebreaker. An excellent way to make new friends.” Hannah winked. “On the left side, you’ll fill in the date of the hookup and on the right side, they’ll sign to verify. It can be guys or girls, whichever you prefer.”
“And if I don’t go through with it?”
The other woman shrugged. “You will just remain on Level 2. And there’s nothing particularly wrong with it except that you might end up at the mercy of everyone above you. ‘Cause you can’t refuse them.”
Nicole nodded, looking down at her drink, her lips pressed together. If she hadn’t regretted staying that night quite enough before, she certainly kicked herself for it now. She was so fucking stupid, thinking this would be some sort of revenge on her ex.
“I’m a virgin,” she said softly, without looking up at the older woman.
“Ok, but why did you choose to stay? Did you not want to gain these experiences?”
“I don’t know. I wasn’t thinking,” Nicole admitted, shaking her head. There was a stretch of silence between them and she hoped with all her might for the possibility that Hannah would let her off the hook, that she’d decide to let her out and never speak about it again.
“I get it, it’s a tough position you got yourself in. So what you’re going to do is you're going to get to know the other members in your year a bit better and you’re going to gauge who you feel the most comfortable with, who you like the most, which one of them do you want to be the first.” Hannah sounded determined to provide her with this solution. “Right now, they are all on the same level as you so none of them have the power over you. You can say no if any of the guys, or girls, asks you to fuck them and you’re not ready. You can be the one to choose who you want to be first and who you can confide in and trust.”
Nicole nodded along, feeling just a bit better about what Hannah was suggesting. She had a bit of time to work with. She didn’t have to fuck a complete stranger. But she’d have to get to know a bunch of people fast and make another decision that she wouldn’t be able to undo.
