Surprise

Lenora's heart hammered in her chest, her breath catching in her throat as she watched the realization dawn on Chloe's face. Fear and shame coursed through her, and she braced herself for the inevitable rejection she was certain would follow. Chloe's initial shock was speechless, her mouth opening and closing as she struggled to find the right words.

Mia, ever the observant one, had been quietly organizing her textbooks, but the sudden shift in the room's atmosphere immediately drew her attention. Her analytical gaze flickered between Chloe and Lenora, her keen mind already piecing together the unfolding situation.

The tense silence was broken only by the sound of Lenora's ragged breathing as she waited, her entire body tense, for Chloe's reaction. To her surprise, the initial shock on Chloe's face gradually gave way to a mix of curiosity and fascination. Chloe's gaze remained fixed on Lenora's form, her eyes filled with an intensity that Lenora found both thrilling and terrifying.

Slowly, almost reverently, Chloe reached out, her fingers gently tracing the outline of Lenora's unique anatomy through the thin fabric of her shorts. Lenora shivered at the touch, her body betraying her despite her overwhelming fear.

"Chloe..." Lenora breathed, her voice barely above a whisper, "I... I can explain."

Chloe's eyes lifted to meet Lenora's, and in that moment, Lenora saw a glimpse of something she had never expected, acceptance, and perhaps even desire. "Leni," Chloe murmured, her touch feather-light, "You didn't have to hide this from us... you're amazing."

Lenora's eyes widened in disbelief, her heart racing as she searched Chloe's face for any sign of disgust or revulsion. But all she found was a tenderness and wonder that she had never dared to hope for.

Mia, who had been silently observing the exchange, now stepped closer, her gaze filled with a curious intensity. "Lenora," she said, her voice soft and measured, "I must admit, I'm intrigued by this as well, you kept this from us all this time?" She paused, adjusting her glasses as her analytical mind began to process the implications. "If I may ask, how long have you been aware of your... unique condition?"

Lenora's gaze darted between Chloe and Mia, her body trembling with a mix of fear and the lingering effects of Chloe's gentle touch. "I-I've known for as long as I can remember," she stammered, her eyes pleading with them to understand. "It's... it's a part of who I am, but I've always been so afraid of being rejected because of it. I'm a freak."

Chloe's hand moved to gently cup Lenora's cheek, her thumb caressing the delicate skin with a tenderness that took Lenora's breath away. "Leni, you don't have to be afraid anymore," she murmured, her blue eyes shining with a depth of emotion that Lenora had never seen before. "We're here for you, no matter what. You're not a freak, different is all. But your still the same Lenora we always knew, just now…"

Mia nodded, her own expression softening as she observed the intimate exchange. "Lenora, I can assure you that your... condition does not change how we see you. In fact, I find it quite fascinating from an academic standpoint." She paused, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "And I suspect that Chloe is equally intrigued, though perhaps for more... personal reasons."

Chloe's cheeks flushed at Mia's words, but she made no attempt to deny the truth behind them. Instead, she turned her attention back to Lenora, her gaze filled with a tenderness that made Lenora's heart flutter.

"Leni, I... am intrigued more so as a friend who's a virgin. This could actually be a blessing since all three of us have never been with anyone sexually," Chloe admitted, her voice low and sincere. "I know if we explored it together we wouldn't be ridiculed or made fun of. So yes I would like to try some things. With you. And with Mia, if she's willing."

Mia's eyes widened slightly at Chloe's words, but there was no hesitation in her response. "I... I believe I would be amenable to that," she said, her own curiosity and desire evident in the subtle shift of her expression.

Lenora's mind reeled, her emotions a whirlwind of fear, hope, and overwhelming uncertainty. She had never dared to imagine that her closest friends would not only accept her but actively embrace her unique nature. As she looked into the faces of Chloe and Mia, she saw a depth of understanding and affection that she had never experienced before.

Tentatively, Lenora reached out, her fingers intertwining with Chloe's as she sought the courage to voice the thoughts swirling within her. "I... I don't know what to say, or where to even start," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I would be a liar if I said it wouldn't be better with my friends. Yes.. I want to find out. Together."

Chloe's grip tightened, and Mia moved closer, her hand coming to rest on Lenora's shoulder in a gesture of support and solidarity. The three women stood there, poised on the precipice of a profound transformation, their college lives forever altered by this fateful encounter.
