Stretching It Out

Reed didn’t know how he’d let himself get talked into this. Sue was off on a girls’ trip, which seemed a fine opportunity to get some work in. He’d already had a night on the town with Ben, so he supposed he owed Johnny some quality time. Reed liked the boy and thought he might impart some new ways of thinking on him, but it was hard when he knew they differed so… constitutionally.

Johnny was a doer. His thinking was a corollary of what he wanted to do. And Reed was a thinker. His actions were a corollary of what he thought he wanted and what he thought would best bring about said desirous outcome.

Still, he could hardly call himself leader of the team and have a merely cordial relationship with one of the three other members, so Reed endeavored to make himself useful to Johnny—surely, there was something the lad had that needed doing for which a super-genius would prove useful.

As it turned out, this was babysitting two lovely girls while Johnny ran to a car show he just had to be at for… some reason. They were lovely girls indeed, dressed in nurses’ uniforms: pant-sets on athletic bodies, white caps on blonde hair, and white shoes on tiny feet. Apparently, Johnny figured that Reed could keep them company… and close them off from being poached by another eligible bachelor… until Johnny was ready to take them off his hands.

Reed felt a little ill-used at that, but he supposed as long as the girls—Camila and Lili—were alright with it, he’d make do.

There was a little café on the ground floor of the Baxter Building and Reed was sure that, as the girls were so interested in spending time with one of the Fantastic Four, of course they’d want to go to a restaurant devoted to the entire quartet.

Thankfully, Camila and Lili took care of most of the conversation themselves. They had driven to New York City from Ohio and wanted Reed’s opinion on which Broadway show they should see while they were playing tourist, or at least wanted his opinion to agree with one of their opinions. Camila wanted to see something funny and Lili wanted to see something important. Reed parroted some of the views he’d heard Sue express. She was so much more in tune with the arts than he was.

“I’m Lili, she’s Camila,” one corrected him, and they introduced themselves a bit more thoroughly than Johnny had.

They hadn’t been to New York before. They were hoping to meet someone who would show them the sights like a real New Yorker, not like a tourist, but Johnny seemed to be juggling them instead of giving them the VIP treatment they’d hoped for when they first met.

Reed had lived in New York a long time, but he wasn’t sure he could be much help. He never went to bars except where Ben took him and he didn’t see the point of going to a restaurant when home cooking was such an easy thing to master. But Reed did recall a jazz spot in the Village that he’d been to—the idea of random noise ending up musically harmonious was intriguing to him and he’d spent some time trying to explain it with mathematics.

With some help from Camila, Lili let herself be talked out of seeing a play—as they both agreed, if it was any good, it’d be made into a movie sooner or later. They finished their drinks and hailed a cab for the Village. Soon they were walking the crowded streets, looking for the place Reed remembered. When they found it, Reed discovered it’d become a country music roadhouse. But the girls seemed more interested in that anyway, with Lili evincing that she loved the song currently playing.

They got a table and ordered another round of drinks. Reed tried to study the menu, but Lili wanted to dance with him. He begged off after the first song ended, which Camila took as a sign that he was ready to dance with her.

Reed tried to imitate the dances the others on the dance floor were doing, which was easy enough for his elastic body, but he drew laughs from Lili and Camila with how he rubbered around to match everyone else’s moves. At least they were happy; Reed reminded himself of the relaxing qualities of dance which were good for his system, regardless of onlookers.

The band played a slow number and Reed was finally able to sit down again, as the song was too maudlin for Lili or Camila to want to slow-dance to, so they sat down with him. He felt one of them playing footsie with him under the table and decided that, while often seen as a romantic gesture, it was really just affection and could be either platonic or sexual. Like a hug.

He played back and felt gratified in his decision when the other joined in, making it academic whether Lili or Camila had started. Surely, the two friends wouldn’t both be romancing him, so this was as harmless as the three shaking hands or cuddling.

“Do you like us, Reed?” Camila asked, her voice a little breezy with the drinks she’d downed.

“Of course I do. Who wouldn’t? You’re two eminently personable young women.”

“Which do you like more?” Lili asked, a vicious smile crossing her face.

“I like you both the same, of course. Whatever qualities you seem to think distinguish you that much, I couldn’t possibly claim to know you well enough to make a definitive judgment. Though, concordantly, greater knowledge of you would quite possibly make me biased and incapable of an impartial summation.”

“Hear that, Lil? He wants to know us better.”

“Who wouldn’t?”

“I want to get to know him better.”

“Me too.”

“I wanna see how far he can stretch.”

“Me too!”

“Well, there’s no easy answer to that. Under extreme conditions, I’m capable of extraordinary distances, but given the strenuous and demanding nature of such a feat, it feels imprudent to test the absolute upper limit of my capacities.”

“Ten inches?” Lili asked.

“Oh, certainly. That’s no issue.”

“Twelve inches?” Camila prompted.

“Of course!”

“And what about… girth?”

“I’ve never had a problem with it.”

“Neither has she,” Lili said, hugging Camila around the waist. “Come on, baby girl, let’s dance with him again. This time we share him.”

“Would you mind that, Reed? Dr. Richards? Just until Johnny finally gets here and we can make it a double-date?”

“I suppose. If you think I’m company enough for both of you.”

“Oh, easily. Can you stretch to twenty inches?”

“With ease!”

“Twenty, Lili,” Camila said, giving her friend a pat. “We should’ve brought Madelaine.”

He danced with both of them at once, moving with their energy until the girls were almost knocked out, but it would take more than a little rhythm to overcome Reed’s time-tested endurance. He still had a spring in his step as he escorted the girls back to their hotel.

“I’m sorry Johnny couldn’t make it,” Reed apologized, with an arm around either girl to keep them from tripping on the cracked sidewalk. “I’m sure he’d love to see you tomorrow.”

“You’re enough for us, Reedy.”

“Yeah. Too much for us, hopefully.”

They got through the lobby and up the elevator and finally to their room, where Lili stopped and told Reed to wait outside for a moment while she and Camila freshened up. Reed took it as an admission that the room was not as clean as they might like it to be for guests.

He magnanimously told them to take all the time they needed and waited for a while in the hallway, thinking back to his jazz equations and wondering if he’d missed anything the first time around. With the imbibition he’d been doing, it was not the best time for any deep thinking, but he did not know what else he could be doing.

At that moment, the door flew open. There in the doorway was Lili, naked save for a tiny pair of panties. Reed’s jaw dropped almost lower than humanly possible. He stared at Lili’s breasts so intently as to remember them better than some laws of physics. They were big and firm, each capped with a bright pink nipple like a treat on a serving platter.

Under her breasts, her belly was flat, her waist slender. Reed’s eyes dropped to see her pubic triangle showing through her sheer gusset. Lili stepped aside to make way for him to enter. Reed could only do what she had prompted, twisting his head around to memorize more of Lili’s gorgeous body as he passed.

He must have been moving too slowly for her liking, because Lili gave him a playful shove before she slammed the door shut. Inside, Reed saw Camila lying on the bed. She was undressed too, wearing a slinky bra and panty set, the black bra pushing her breasts up into a worshipful offering. She giggled and then Lili started to laugh.
