Refuge 2.3: ❤︎ Housekeeping

"What kind of skills does she have?" I asked. Lily and I were discussing one of the newcomers figuring out their place in the community, who asked to stay in our cabin.

"Ceana doesn't have much experience with skills the community really needs. She graduated high school with honors a few years ago, but then bounced around between a bunch of minimum-wage jobs as an adult."

"Why not college?"

"Got a scholarship, but couldn't go. Had to work to support her sick mom. The dad was out of the picture long ago." Lily sighed and shook her head. "Her mom passed last year. The scholarship wasn't available anymore, so she started taking courses at a community college, and hoped to get into a 4-year university some day."

"That's rough."

"Yeah."

"She sounds smart, and probably could learn to help out with something the community needs. How can she contribute until then?"

Lily shrugged her shoulders. "The kitchen has plenty of workers already, and she has no experience with wilderness survival or firearms, so she can't immediately help with hunting, security, or stuff like that."

My girlfriend paused a moment. "When I told her this, she... uh... she asked to be our housekeeper."

I blinked. "Wait, what?"

"Yeah."

"I'm... not sure how I feel about that. I don't want her to think she owes us anything personally. And gosh, I've never even hired a maid before, or lawn maintenance, anything like that!"

"Same."

"Huh."

"Ours, and others, I think. It kinda makes sense. Helping people clean up can give others more time to focus on other jobs. Even so..." she hesitated. "I get the sense... there might be something else to it."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Not sure what."

"Okay." I took a breath. "Well, doesn't hurt to talk it over. She's outside?"

Kira nodded, then brought the young woman in.

Her attire made her look older than her age. The bright red hair atop her chalky-white, freckled face was done up in a tight crown braid, with just a hint of makeup. A professional-looking black dress with a white collar covered her thin body, like the sort of uniform you'd see hotel staff wear. I hadn't seen anyone else wearing something like that. Did she bring the outfit with her? I didn't want to pry.

I offered a welcoming smile. "Hi, I'm Navalea, nice to meet you."

"Ceana MacLeanach," she responded with a faint accent and slight curtsey.

Huh.

"No need for that," I gestured for her to sit. I'd never seen someone actually curtsey before.

"Oh, I know, I just grew up that way. Polite habits drilled into me by my mom," she said cheerfully as she bounced onto a seat. "Is it okay?"

"Oh, absolutely!" I reassured her. "I just don't want you to feel pressured to act any certain way."

"Okay!" she said with a bubbly smile.

"So, Lily said you wanted to be our... housekeeper?" I paused a moment. "I'll be honest, I don't know how I feel about that."

Ceana looked crestfallen. I felt like I'd just kicked a puppy.

"I mean," I stumbled out more words, "You can do what you want, of course! I just don't want you to feel... obligated to help us. We have a lot of people in this cabin, and have been handling things okay."

"Oh!" she brightened up, then shook her head. "No, I understand that. I'll be helping clean all the cabins and other buildings. I just..." She thought for a moment. "Lily was kind to me on the road, and you're her friends, so I'd feel safer staying with you than complete strangers."

I looked over to Lily. "Fine by me," my girlfriend said.

I took a deep breath, then let it out. "Okay. If you ever change your mind, please let us know?"

"Oh, I know. I want to do this," Ceana responded with a bright smile. "I want to feel useful, you know? Not just leeching off your generosity. I'd be happy to help keep the area around the cabin neat and tidy, run errands, whatever your household might need." A faint flush touched her incredibly pale cheeks. "If I can join?"

"We'll have to check with Kira and her boyfriend Julien, but I think they'll be okay with it. You can rest here for now, if you want."

~~~~~

Ceana jumped straight into her work, starting to go around and meet everyone that day. Then the next day, she knocked on the door in the late morning hours.

I looked up from the fantasy novel I was reading. "Come in!"

She entered in that snappy housekeeping outfit, pushing a cleaning cart. "Hey there, Navalea! I'm just making the rounds."

"How's it going?"

"Pretty good. Most people are really nice and friendly!" Her face drooped a little. "Others, not so much."

"Yeah, some people will be assholes." I offered a reassuring smile. "Don't let it get you down."

"I won't!" she said in a chipper voice, and pushed the cart into the bathroom, where she remained a while.

I returned to reading my book.

After she came out, she started cleaning the main room, tidying up the beds, folding and tucking in sheets. I glanced over as she kneeled down to clear dust and debris from under one of the beds.

I blinked.

Then looked quickly away. Back at my book. Feeling myself blushing.

I tried to continue reading, but struggled to make any progress.

"Is everything okay, Miss?" her soft voice snapped me out of my reverie. Ceana had stood up, and was tidying up our bedsheets, but looked my way briefly.

"Oh, yes, I just was a bit surprised, that... well..."

Is it rude to ask?

I felt like I'd started a sentence I couldn't easily back out of. I tried to keep things casual, friendly, as I continued, "I'm just surprised it's... comfortable, to do work without, um, underwear on?"

"Oh, same here. I usually wear panties," she responded cheerfully and continued straightening out the bed. "I just felt like being a little more free in our home, I suppose?" She shrugged while going about her work. "Everyone in this cabin seems so open about things. It's nice! Don't worry, I'll put them back on before leaving."

She leaned over the bed to tuck the sheet into the opposite side, giving me another view up her dress. A view of fuzzy, untrimmed red hair sparsely covering pretty pussy lips between pale, freckled thighs.

I felt my heart thudding.

"Well, I'm... glad you feel comfortable here," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. I realized I hadn't understood a single thing I'd read on the current page of my book. I had to go back and re-read everything over again.

Ceana finished cleaning up. Then she picked up her panties from the cart, gave me another flash as she tugged them back on, and left the cabin.

Lily got back ten minutes later. My girlfriend was barely inside the door before I pushed her up against a wall, quickly leaving us breathless and sweaty.

~~~~~

In the afterglow, I told Lily how Ceana apparently felt comfortable with nudity, like Kira did. I didn't want to hide anything from her. Lily shrugged her shoulders. We'd seen a lot more from other people. I suppose she was right?

The next day, I didn't have anything to do, so I slept in. By the time I woke up the cabin was empty. I knew Kira was on patrol, while Julien was inspecting the dam again. Constant risk of damage from aftershocks. Lily left a note that she needed to help fix something with the community's internal computer network.

I woke up still feeling incredibly frisky, so I pulled out the toy Kira had given me. Naked on my bed, I started caressing my breasts and quickly thrusting into the fleshlight, while my other hand pushed fingers into my pussy.

I was on the verge of a fast climax when the door rapped with a sharp knock.

Fuck!

Ceana was already here? I didn't realize I'd slept that late!

"Just a moment!" I called out and quickly threw a sheet over myself, then turned onto one side, trying to hide my erection while pulling out the book. "Okay, come in!"

Ceana entered the same as last time, pushing her cleaning cart in front of her. "Sorry, am I interrupting?"

"No, not at all," I said in a somewhat strangled voice.

"I can come back..."

"It's okay." I responded more firmly, and gestured casually around the room, while pretending to be focused on my book.

She nodded and came in, starting to tidy up the various beds. When she turned away and her dress hiked up, I didn't look, but just being aware of her presence made it impossible for my arousal to go back down.

Then her voice grabbed my attention. "If you wouldn't mind, could you move to the table for a minute?" she asked and gestured to my bed.

My bed. I felt like an idiot. I was so worked up, I'd forgotten she'd get to it eventually.

"Oh, um, that's okay. You can skip it today."

"It's really no trouble."

"Well, um, I..."

"Miss, it's..." she paused. "It's okay if you're not clothed," she said, still in that calm cheerful tone, without a hint of shyness. "We've both seen that a few times already, while changing clothes and showering and stuff."

"Oh. Okay." I guess that was a good point? Roommates will inevitably see each other naked sometimes. It just felt different now, for some reason.

I felt my cheeks burning. I hesitated a moment, then slipped out from under the sheet, and pulled my panties under the shirt dangling down over my hips. That didn't do much to hide my arousal; there was no way to tuck things in when I was that hard.

I tried to ignore it. Quickly sat down at the table, struggling to actually read my book. The chair under my butt felt cold through the panties.

"Thank you, Miss," Ceana said without missing a beat, and started tidying up my bed. No awkward looks, no comments, just professionally continuing her work.

After she finished, she pushed the cart back towards the front door. She paused a moment, then said without looking at me, "If you ever need help with anything else, please let me know."

Then she left. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe she was right. We'd seen each other naked a lot over the past few days, and I was just masturbating. No big deal.

Right?

... then I saw the fleshlight laying atop the dresser at the end of the bed.

Which I'd left under the sheets.

~Kill me now!~

~~~~~

Refuge 2.4: ❤︎ Laissez-faire

When Lily returned home half an hour later, I somehow hadn't died of shame. I explained what happened, how our new roommate caught me masturbating. I didn't want my girlfriend to think I was concealing events like that from her.

"I'm sorry!" I rushed out. "I'll be more careful."

Lily was completely silent, just looking at me a while. Right when I started getting worried, she said calmly, "Why should you be?"

I blinked. "Huh?"

She gazed into my eyes with a faint smile on her cheeks. "Well, do you want it to happen again?"

I was bewildered. And why was she smiling?

"Navalea," she said in a huff. "I know you struggle with social cues, but c'mon! If we were at one of your sex parties, and some girl in a maid outfit came up to you, flashed her pussy, and said 'let her know' if you needed help with anything, what would you do?"

"But... she..."

I froze.

Oh.

"There you go," she giggled with a gentle smile. My girlfriend took my hands in hers, stroking the palms reassuringly and looking into my eyes. "I know this can be difficult for you sometimes, so I'll keep it simple. We're not exclusive. If a pretty girl's trying to seduce you, don't hold back on my account."

"But she's... she's our..."

"Servant?" She shook her head. "Cmon, Nav. You made it pretty clear we're not her boss. If you think of her that way, that's on you, and something you should work on. She's just a friend doing a job like all the rest of us, as an equal in our community."

"Oh." Now I felt embarrassed in an entirely different way. "Yeah, I had been thinking of Ceana as a... yeah."

"It's hard to set your preconceptions aside," Lily reassured me and lovingly caressed my check. "Especially when she wears that hot maid uniform and calls you Miss."

"Oh, stop it!" I laughed and shoved her playfully.

"Make me."

I grinned and pounced her. An hour later, we were spent and satisfied, snuggling in each other's arms.

~~~~~

I took Ceana aside that evening for a private conversation while the others were out. I wanted to make sure I hadn't tremendously misunderstood things. Our youthful new friend was wearing a cute sundress that paired wonderfully with her red hair. It was one of Kira's. My best friend hadn't worn it in a while, and she and Ceana were the same size. A nice gift.

"Hey there," I started. "About earlier... I'm sorry I forgot to move my, um, toy out of the way."

"It's okay!" she said in a chipper voice. "Nothing I haven't seen before."

"Even so, I didn't want to give you the wrong idea."

"Eh, that'd be a weird way to seduce me," she giggled and gave me a wide smile. "Besides, it's okay if you wanted to."

I blinked. It took a moment for that to sink in. "It... would be okay?"

"Well I mean yeah, you're hot," she responded with a casual shrug. "And I know you and Lily are open. I wouldn't mind."

"I'm not really looking for another girlfriend right now, though," I responded gently, not wanting to hurt her feelings. "I'm focused on Lily."

"That's okay, I'm not either. Nothing serious, at least," she said with another bright grin. "But hey, girls have needs, and I don't find myself... umm, attracted to many people here. I'm just not, you know, ready for a steady relationship. I've been through a lot lately, and need to work on myself first."

She paused a moment, then blushed a little. It highlighted her freckles beautifully. "I just want you to know that you... um... you don't need to use the toy. I can... be that, for you."

I'm embarrassed to say I just stared at her, trying to process that.

"If you want!" she added.

"Oh, yeah!" I staggered out the words. "That could be fun!"

"Cool." She nodded confidently.

"Yeah. Cool."

I felt a hot flush on my cheeks. I'd explored a lot of different kinds of relationships, but never anything quite like this, with her living with me. It did seem exciting, just a little... scary? I didn't want to damage her confidence, though. I tried to stay supportive.

"When would you, like to... um..."

"Any time really," the young woman said with another smile that banished her bashfulness. "Whenever you want. You don't have to ask."

"Oh. Okay."

"Yeah. I'm looking for something, umm, casual. Spontaneous!" She waved a hand in the air.

"I'll... keep that in mind," I said awkwardly as my thoughts swirled, hearing footsteps approaching our cabin. "Thank you for telling me."

"No problem!"

Then Lily and Kira came in through the door, pausing our conversation. Ceana hopped up joyfully to give them both big, bouncy hugs.

She's so... nonchalant about it all. No big deal, I guess? Just casual sex. You've done that before, right?

Right.

~~~~~

My moods vary from day to day. The next day I was feeling somewhat feminine, so I put on a skirt and halter top after coming out of the shower.

Lily pounced me and dragged me back to bed, where we snuggled and she teased my body all morning. Then around the time when Ceana heads to our cabin during her rounds, Lily left with a grin, and the transparent excuse of "hanging out with people at the mess hall."

Leaving me alone in my thoughts. I wasn't even sure yet if I'd follow through on Ceana's request. I was certainly attracted to her, and didn't want to make her feel unwanted, and yet...

'Stop being so in your head about it.' Kira's words came back to me. I had talked it over with her and Julien too, since we all shared the same cabin. I didn't want to cause any drama for our group. 'You want it. She wants it. Just do it, silly.' Best friends can be so blunt sometimes.

Even so, it was weird for me to be so casual, skipping foreplay, not even getting to know someone before just... you know. Getting right to it.

Except at parties. Things felt different there, somehow. Everyone was anonymous, often complete strangers, in an environment where casual sex was accepted. Encouraged, even. It felt totally different to try something like that in my own home, with someone I'd met just a few days ago, someone I was living with, but still didn't really know anything about. I didn't know what kind of shows, movies, or games she liked (not that most of those mattered anymore). It was an unfamiliar middle ground between strangers and lovers.

I was still sitting at the table stewing in my anxiety when I heard the knock on the door. I took a slow, deep breath, and let it out again.

"Come on in."

"Hello again, Miss!" Ceana cheerfully bounced into the room and rolled the cleaning cart in, then started going about her normal routine. She didn't acknowledge my presence any more than usual.

No pressure. She gave me an out, in case I changed my mind. I appreciated that.

I built up my courage, then stood from the table and walked up behind her, my heart thudding in my bosom. Ceana purred as I slipped my arms around her waist. I started kissing along her neck, and she moaned a little, then said, "It's okay, Miss. You don't have to do that."

Then the pretty redhead bent over my bed. She lifted her housekeeping uniform up around her waist, revealing a cute, skinny butt, and pale thighs. She reached back with her pale hands, and spread herself a little, casually showing off the sparse orange fuzzy hair barely concealing her pink pussy lips. Like she had for many days now. Only this time, she was visibly glistening. I hadn't been the only one thinking about what might happen.

"Please Miss," she said in a quiet voice. "I want it."

I pushed my panties down around my knees, and lifted my skirt.

... I was still soft from anxiety. She glanced over her shoulder and smiled reassuringly.

"I can help," she said and turned around, dropping down to her knees.

"Th.. thank you," I stammered out.

"Of course," she said in a calm voice while grinning up to me with wide eyes. Then she parted those soft pink lips, and slipped her mouth around my relaxed shaft.

She took the entire thing into her mouth and moaned quietly. Her tongue licked up along the underside, then swirled around the tip. Gazing down into her pretty green eyes, I felt my body finally reacting, starting to slowly grow inside her warm, wet mouth. I lifted my hands to my breasts and rolled the nipples between my fingers.

Then she did something new.

I was so often in control, so focused on others, that I rarely had this kind of attention from anyone. Especially after growing a cock, when people were usually drawn to the more... dramatic addition to my body. Ceana slipped a hand up along my thigh, under my cock, and brushed her fingertips across my soft pussy. She caressed my folds while licking and sucking on my shaft, then slipped a finger up into my sex.

I gasped as she pushed inside. I felt her curl the finger inside me, rubbing against the sensitive spot within. She slowly massaged me, inside and out, while I squirmed under her touch. I quickly stiffened up inside her mouth. Then, moments after I was fully hard and my pussy was dripping, she pulled away.

"There you go, Miss," she said in a happy voice while taking a condom out of her pocket and rolling it onto my hardon. Her tone was so smooth, almost professional. I felt a silly feeling like I'd called a customer service line or something. "I'm glad I could assist you," she added with a warm smile, adding to the blurry thoughts in my head.

Then the cute redhead turned around and leaned over the bed again, revealing herself to me. She kept a hand on my cock and lined it up with her soft, fuzzy pussy. I rested my palms on her butt, and pushed forward slowly. My mouth opened slightly, breathing heavily, as I squeezed into her tight young body.

Ceana bit her lower lip and twitched a little. Then she suppressed a whimper. I tried to go slow. She was incredibly tight, and I'm guessing it hurt. She grabbed one of my hands and squeezed it. "Please Miss," she said in a hoarse voice. "All the way in. I can take it."

I gradually pushed deeper until I bottomed out inside her. She groaned and started rolling her hips, gently humping my cock.

"Is my pussy better than the toy?" she asked quietly.

"So much better!" I responded with a shaky, breathless voice. She purred in delight. I began meeting her thrusts with my own, smacking my hips against her ass in rhythmic, slow pumps. I bit my lower lip and moaned. I'd been worked up all day from Lily's earlier teasing. On top of that, these feelings were new to me, having my cock and pussy stimulated by someone at the same time, then fucking her so casually.

"Please don't hold back, Miss," she said and turned to look back at me, flashing a smile with her pretty, freckled cheeks.

What I felt next was incredibly different from other orgasms I'd experienced. I didn't even realize I was climaxing until it happened. My body didn't shake and shudder for ten minutes like usual. I just felt a brief flash of pleasure, then quickly squirted out cum in short bursts inside her body. I felt a little stunned at how casual it was... matter-of-fact, even. Ceana purred and pushed back against me, shoving my girl cock all the way inside her. She rubbed her ass against my hips a moment, then pulled free once she felt I was done.

"Thank you, Miss," she said with a polite smile as she pulled her dress back down, turned around, and casually disposed of the condom. "Can I help you get dressed?"

"No, that's okay," I said hoarsely and shook my head, tugging my panties back up under my skirt.

"Allright," she grinned in a bubbly voice. "Let me know if you need anything else!" She leaned over the bed again, humming faintly as she went right back to tidying up the sheets.

I walked back over to the table with somewhat shaking legs. Sitting down, hands trembling, I tried to continue reading my book. My brain was struggling to process what had just happened. I'd just walked up to a girl I liked, fucked her, and walked away.

She wants me to use her instead of toys... is she my... free-use... fucktoy?

I kept those thoughts to myself. As fun as it was, she's still a friend and roommate! I wanted to treat her with respect.

Especially while using her pussy like a fleshlight. The filthy thought flashed through my mind, and I shook it away. She's a friend. It's just casual sex.

No big deal, right?

Ceana hummed happily as she went about the rest of her duties in the cabin. She moved a little sluggishly. My sudden entry and size would probably make her sore for her the rest of the day, but it didn't seem to bother her. Then she moved towards the door, picked up her panties from the cart, and tugged them back on like it was just another part of her routine.

She turned and flashed me a blissful smile as she pushed the cart back out. "Have a good day!"

"You too!" I said habitually, still feeling lightheaded. With that and a quick, friendly wave from Ceana, she was gone.

I walked over to my bed and collapsed onto the mattress, laying on my back, staring at the ceiling. My lips parted slightly, still breathing a little heavily, as my mind and heart raced through the possibilities of what I could explore with her in the days ahead.
