Chapter seven, Wet Vulpus and Jaqui enjoyed their TV watching time. Jaqui was pretty well distracted with the comfort of Vulpus’ tail around her neck like a scarf, laying on his lap. However at some point her mind went back to her tricky little plots. She began to think about her bad planning from earlier and how it was foiled. She was trying to be sneaky… maybe she should be bold instead… but how… “Hey, I know it’s supposed to be cloudy and maybe raining later, but could we have a quick swim?” she asked, looking up at him with hope in her eyes. Vulpes looked down, seeing the undeniably cute look she was showing off. It was hard to deny her with a face like that, “Sure, sure. Wouldn’t you rather wait for mom though?” She shrugged, “I don’t want to stay out TOO long, just for a bit. Plus it’s supposed to rain later so mom won’t be able to either.” “Hm, that’s fair… OH! Your… Right I have the trunks.” he seemed to answer his own concern about her torn bottoms, “Let me go find them and i’ll bring them to you to change into, okay?” He uncurled his tail from around her neck, slipping away and heading to his room. Even with Vulpes gone, the warmth permeated Jaqui so well she remained warm and fuzzy~ It truly was a delight. But now was the time for plotting. She rushed to her room, getting her bikini top and looking it over, analyzing it… trying to figure out a way to do… something… Of course she considered not doing anything at all, but what was the fun in that? It was worn in a few places to the point she could see the tattered elastic band inside. But tearing it apart now would only make it so Vulpes wouldn’t let her get in. Vulpes came to her room, leaving her with the trunks, “There you go, just make sure the waistband is tight enough so they won’t fall off.” In her mind, it was almost like being dared to try her ‘accidental nudity’ act again… no, she didn’t like the diving board, so that wouldn’t work… The straps DID look easy to manipulate, and once she had it on she did have to pull the strings and tie them off a little tighter than the elastic waistband was holding. It certain;y seemed possible… But no, she hates diving, she had to come up with something else… She contemplated for a moment, getting both pieces and looking them over… Jaqui had a moment of clarity as the question ‘why’ popped up in her mind? Why was she doing this? The last time she TRIED anything it was incredibly embarrassing, not to mention the time she didn’t do anything intentional. And for what? Was is all to expose herself in front of Vulpes? She couldn’t explain why but there was something inside of her telling her she ‘wanted’ to do this, but she couldn’t explain why. It was a gut feeling that she’d trusted before, but she couldn’t put the pieces together. For some reason she wanted him to see her… or maybe… she just wanted to open up to him. Exposing herself physically to open all the doors to herself emotionally as well. Her body was meant to be private, but something inside her wanted to share her most private thoughts and feelings with him. Feeling his touch against her bare skin WAS nice too… in fact, she’d still need help with getting her back covered in sunscreen... That would be good enough for now. No need for plotting, he already would be massaging her skin, so why bother pushing it? She left her plotting in the bedroom, slipping on the trunks and her top and rushing out the back. Vulpes was already outside, bringing some towels and blowing up a beach ball. It was pretty cloudy, but Vulpes still brought out some sun screen. As Jaqui came outside, he gave a little wave from his seat as he continued to blow. “Hey Vulpes. Having fun yet?” she asked, picking up the sun screen and putting on a layer where she could. She expected him to get her back again, but then again, she needed someone to get his back… “Mm, a delight-” Vulpes took another breath, a bit winded after a few big puffs into the ball, “-ful time.” he finished before going back to the ball, trying to squeeze a lung full of air through the tiny hole. Jaqui walked up behind him, sunscreen spray in one hand, and spraying across his shoulders and back. Vulpes let out a little pleasant noise of surprise, pulling away from the ball for a moment “Oh, hey, thanks!” “Not done yet.” she informed him, “Gotta rub it in right?” She put the can down before starting on his shoulder, gently massaging the spray through his fur and onto his skin. She wasn’t as good as him, but she had to put on sunscreen for her mother so it was still familiar to her. “Oh! Heh, okay. Thank you.” Vulpes leaned back a bit to give her better access, giving the ball one last blow before tossing it into the pool. He made sure to wait for Jaqui though, happily enjoying the little massage. Jaqui worked across his shoulders and up to his neck, the fox squirming at the gentle touches. “Too much?” Jaqui asked, worried she might be pressing harder than she thought. “Mm, no, I’m just a bit ticklish. Move slowly, quick movements make it worse.” he explained, relaxing again. “Right.” She moved more slowly, carefully working the sunscreen through his fur. His fur was certainly thicker, but his summer coat was much less to deal with than a fox’s winter coat. It was nice to feel her fingers sifting through his fur. It was nice to hear him let out a little moan, and seeing the smile on his face.. She couldn’t help but feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing she was making him feel nice. She made her way down his back, only getting little jumps as she neared his armpits, but as much as she was tempted to tickle, she didn’t want a counter attack from him. Instead she worked diligently down his back… Until arriving at his tail. The base of his tail was just under the waistband of his trunks, a little strap of elastic held on by a button. Of course, he needed some sunscreen on the base of his tail at least. The rest of his tail might’ve been furry enough, but the base was still just as exposed. She remembered his talking about tail being very ‘personal’, but surely they were personal enough by now, right? She began to massage the base of his tail once she finished up his waistline. Vulpes seemed to tense up at the touch, “Ah~ Uh, a little… I-i can get my tail, thanks.” “Are you sure?” she pulled her hands away, not wanting to upset him, “I still wanna help if you need it.. It’s… It’s not THAT private is it?” Vulpes shifted a bit, “Ah, it’s just… it’s kind of like being ticklish, just… a different kind of tickle?” He tried to think of how to explain it without going into detail, “Some people have spots that make them feel… really nice… and some people don’t. Some people have REALLY sensitive spots… It’s just a little awkward to feel that giddy around others, y’know?” he smiled awkwardly, hoping that was enough of an explanation without saying too much. ‘A different kind of tickle’... Somehow she felt she knew EXACTLY what he meant, feeling some kind of ‘tickle’ when she touched herself this morning… It felt wonderful, but he was right, feeling that way around someone did feel very personal. “I understand.. B-but if you need help, I can still be gentle so I don't ‘tickle’ you…” She was hopeful, but she didn’t want to push it. Vulpes paused at the offer… seemingly considering it in his head… she seemed to want to help and be nice, but he didn’t want to risk anything ‘popping up’. “I appreciate it, you did very well with the rest of my back, but I got the rest. I’ll get your back in just a second okay?” He gave her a warm smile, rubbing her shoulder to assure her of his gratitude. Jaqui was disappointed, sure, but she didn’t let it bother her. The experience was pleasant enough, and now she got to feel him rub HER back. “Okay, go ahead.” Vulpes finished up his own tail, spraying and coating the rest of himself in a thin coat of sunscreen. It WAS still cloudy out so it would probably be fine for a while. He then moved to Jaqui, happily spraying and rubbing his hands along her back to spread the sun screen. As expected, Jaqui loved the experience, murring and shuddering at the warm comforting touch. The experience was brief, but now they could enjoy an afternoon in the pool together! The two slipped into the water, getting used to the cooler temperatures of the pool. It didn’t take long for both to end up soaked though, as Jaqui started a water gun fight with Vulpes, eventually getting them both drenched. The two swam around, bounced the ball around at one another, before tiring themselves out and loafting on various floating toys and loungers. After some quiet time, Vulpes whined a bit out loud, to which Jaqui replied, “You okay over there?” “Yeah, i just gotta use the bathroom but if i get out and dry off to get into the house, i might as well just stay dry and not get back in.” “Yeah? Why can’t you do that?” “Cause that’s a lot of work just to pee. And I'm an old man, I'm not as spry as you children.” “Aren’t you 30?” “Oooold maaan” he wailed out playfully, “And i don’t want to do more laundry cleaning more towels. “It’s just water, just let them dry and reuse them.” “It’s a saltwater pool, gotta wash the salt out of the towels.” “Oh yeah, that doesn’t sound good… Well… Can’t you just pee in the bushes?” She’d seen plenty of gags on cartoons and TV about guys peeing against a wall standing up. She could tell they were peeing, but she was told it was normally seen as rude. So she wasn’t surprised when Vulpes rejected the idea. “Ah, no no, I don't think so… That wouldn’t uh… be appropriate i think.” “Why not? It’s just you and me, and I don't care… no neighbors around... You’re not facing me so I won't see anything private…” Vulpes huffed, knowing she was technically correct, but still, it was the principle of the thing… “I don’t think your mother would appreciate me doing that…” Something inside Jaqui compelled her to whip out a quick lie, “Why not? She’s done it before. She won’t care.” Vulpes was… surprised by this… It was easy for a guy to take a leak wherever he pleased, but for a woman there were… difficulties… His moment of uncertainty was enough to get Jaqui thinking more, “Yeah, she usually does it between the bushes over there.” She motioned to a spot where two hedges had a 3 foot gap where an old bush died and never got replaced, so it was just an empty patch of dirt up against the fence. Vulpes looked over… it seemed possible… and practical… And if Jaqui was to be believed, it was already the designated disposal area. “Yeah? I guess…” “It’s fine if you wanna head inside, that’s okay, just means no more swimming, or more laundry… But if you just want to take a quick pit stop it’s there.” Being the daughter of a psychology teacher had its perks; Getting someone to do something you want is easier when you make it feel like it was their choice. Vulpes ran through the negative consequences, even thinking as far as to wonder if she was lying… but he would be covered, and he’d know if she was trying to peek… “Yeah… okay…” He started to swim toward the steps and worked his way up, water pouring onto the concrete as he walked onto the grass and towards the gap in the bushes. He was still within 10 feet of the waters edge, so he wasn’t far. However with the bushes on each side and a fence in front of him, it was like a large private urinal. Jaqui tried to watch, casually floating in the innertube. All she could see was his back, the back of his trunks, and his tail. He seemed to tug the front of his trunks down, using both hands to handle the situation. If he was peeing, it was hard to tell. The pattering of Vulpus’ wet body still dripping on the dirt was still pretty loud, but eventually she’d hear what sounded more like a stream than droplets… It occurred to her that despite seeing this joke on TV, that this was the most she’d ever seen of the act. She couldn’t really see the stream, and nothing new was showing from what she could see at this angle. It wasn’t as interesting as she’d hoped, but the idea of him being comfortable enough around her for this was nice to know. He’d finish up, giving himself a shake before tucking everything away. He walked back to the water's edge, taking a short jump into the pool to cannonball into the water, splashing Jaqui. She let out a squeal, blocking what she could with her hands. Vulpes came back up, smiling happily, “Alright, I'm refreshed now~. How long DID you want to stay in here?” “Mmm, I think we’re supposed to get rain and lightning later, so probably until then.” “Until we get struck by lightning you mean?” he replies with a little chuckle. “Yes, precisely. We’re going to enjoy the last few minutes of our lives before perishing in a flash of light” her hand flung up dramatically, and also much like a lightning rod. “You’re sounding too much like a millennial. You can’t be out of hope already.” the fox laughed again, giving her another splash, “If we hear thunder we’re getting out though, seriously.” “Oh yeah, totes, def.” she replied, showing no urgency whatsoever. Eventually she found herself out of the innertube and idly floating around. Vulpes was busy checking the water filter, casually looking it over while they swam. Her eyes were locked on him, scanning him up and down… A thought came to mind; why does he get to only wear shorts? Her top was always a bit uncomfortable, it was old and worn out in places anyway, so it was probably time to get a new set. Especially with her bottoms ruined. Jaqui tugged at the fabric a bit before hearing a rip. She looked down and spotted a hole in the fabric. She hooked her thumb into it and started pulling, causing the fabric to tear faster. She looked over at Vulpes, seeing he was still distracted. She made sure to keep her chest below water to muffle the noise of her tearing. The fabric came off in bits, easily ripping off. Even the more secure edges popped at the seams. The top seemed to disintegrate in her hands, and she just couldn’t stop. Eventually, she’d lose grip of the top and it would just float away, leaving her torso exposed. It was a tense moment, when you know you’ve done something you’re not supposed to do and you KNOW you’re going to get caught? She watched Vulpes who was completely unaware of what was going on, even as the fabric floated closer to him. “Uh… Vulpes… You uh… you know how my bikini bottom tore up in the dryer the other day?” “Yeah? You think about getting a new set before the summer ends?” “Uh… yeah… probably for the best, considering my top just exploded too.” Vulpes turned around, looking over his shoulder. The pool was filled with bikini shreds, “What the heck? What happened?” “I uh… tugged on it, and it just started… coming apart.” she explained, shrugging under the water. “Like, once it started it just… poof” “Uh… Okay… Uh…” The gears were clearly ticking in his brain, trying to think of how to solve this issue, “Uh… maybe we could um…” “It’s… It’s fine actually,” Jaqui said quickly, hoping to interrupt his thoughts, “I mean… It’s not like I have boobs to support or anything. If a 12 year old boy can swim around topless, why can’t i? O can see your nipples so… It’s cool… right?” She knew she was pushing her luck as she tried to dominate the conversation… but she thought she could get away with it… Vulpes watched her for a moment… he couldn’t even see her as he chest was underneath the water. His eyes glanced around, as if making sure that no one was suddenly building a home for the neighbors close enough to see. But there was nothing. He could tell it was more of her trying to get away with things… but… maybe he could let her get away with this. After all, Carol told him ‘Sometimes she needs a rebel friend to SAFELY guide her through new adventures.’ “Alright, fine… but we’re leaving soon, the clouds are getting darker so we’ve got like… 10 minutes, maybe less before it starts thundering.” he turned away a moment to put the filter back together before getting back on his pool noodle to relax. “We’ll clean out the shreds later, or the filter will get them…” Jaqui felt a little burst of energy in her heart. She’d gotten away with it~ It wasn’t the most well thought out plan, and even now she didn’t fully understand what the next step of this ‘master plan’ was, but things were going smoothly. No one was humiliated, nothing got super exposed, she just didn’t have a top on under the water… which was new and exhilarating! With Vulpus aimlessly floating around, Jaqui decided to try her luck… standing up in the shallow end with just her trunks. Her bare chest was exposed, and despite her comments about looking like a 12 year old boy, she was starting to get little buds. Those same buds were firming up in the cool breezy air. She ran her fingers up over them, loving the exposure. Vulpus seemed distracted enough, but the idea that he might see her did excite her somehow. She could feel herself wanting to open up to him more somehow... For now, she left it at that. The two continued to float and swim with brief bursts of activity despite her toplessness. Eventually though, Jaqui felt her own need for a break growing… She had lied about her mother ‘going’ in the corner, so she didn’t really know what the process involved. She DID watch Vulpes just now, and all she saw was him adjusting his trunks and adjusting himself with his hands. Maybe it was the trunks? “Hey, I'm gonna step out to use the bathroom.” Jaqui announced before heading up the steps and over toward the bushes. She heard Vulpes reply ‘uh, okaaay’ but didn’t give it much thought. She was sure he’d cover his eyes out of politeness, but this was a new experience for her, and after getting away with her top, she figured this would work too! She took a stance, her feet shoulder width apart. She untied the front of her swim trunks and tugged them out to take a look inside. There was a netting that cupped her nethers closely. It wasn’t super comfortable either, but it was manageable. Aside from that though, there was nothing special in the trunks themselves. Perhaps she just had to hold herself a certain way? She was already relaxing her muscles to go, but she was having trouble figuring out what to do. She never really paid much attention to her pee, or even her vagina for that matter until more recently, so she didn’t know how she could interact with it. She tried to let a little out just standing there, holding the front of her trunk down. She immediately trickled straight down, landing in her trunks, “Oh, shoot.” she muttered, holding back the pee a moment to reassess. She tried pushing her hips out, but again, urine trickled into her trunks. She was getting frustrated, as the torrent was becoming more difficult to hold back. She tried pinching her vagina shut to force the spray in a direction, but it only managed to pressurize the pee as she sprayed the inside of her shorts. “No no no no!” she muttered, only now realizing maybe there was a reason she’d only seen boys pee standing up… then it clicked. She remembered her biology book, and it showed what a penis looked like. Only now did she realize it was basically a hose they could point in any direction. She did not have that. The pressure grew too great, and so the valve released as she began to urinate in the trunks. It splattered around before the stream escaped the inside of her shorts, drenching them with a warm liquid that seeped into the fabric and trickled down her legs. She didn’t dare turn around. In a panic she reached down to press her entire hand against her slit, only managing to spread the urine everywhere. It felt hot against her hand, the spreading pee causing the trunks to warm up as well. There was no way she could hide this, the smell was strong and she was covered in it. Eventually the stream petered out and dribbled it’s final squirts of pee, still leaving her hot, dripping, and humiliated. She slowly turned, seeing Vulpes in the pool, looking slightly away, “Vulpeees…” she cried, pretty emotional about this childish issue. She hadn’t pissed herself in years. The feeling was not great, having to admit you soiled yourself was uncomfortable enough, but doing it in front of someone else? With all the confidence she had only to fall so far? Horrible to say the least. “I-i… I think i… Heeeeelp.” she didn’t know what to do. She was helpless. It had been so long since she’d done this. She felt miserable and just trying to think of what to say was difficult through the emotional terror she was going through with this. Vulpes seemed… oddly calm… He was still looking away, but motioned her to come over. “Just… come on to the pool…” he instructed, moving to the edge close to her. “B-but i… I just… I peed myself…” she whined, her knees slowly coming together, the warm fabric pressing against itself between her thighs. She remembered her lost top, already feeling embarrassed she covered her chest with one arm,covering her shame with each hand. “I… I know…I saw the whole thing, just… come over here” he said, motioning over as he reached the edge, reaching over and grabbing a garden hose. She shakily walked over toward him, one hand over her exposed nipples, the other over her groin to hide the wet spot, despite being in trunks that were already wet. The fact that she was dripping from the pool made her feel like she might be covered in the stuff. Before he could warn her, a shot of high pressure water shot out, planting her thigh with the sudden water jet. “Ah!” “Ah! Sorry, wrong setting.” he flipped the nozzle around, before shooting a more gentle stream over cold water on her. “It’s fine, they’re swim trunks, they’re meant to get wet, just gotta rinse it off…” he seemed very casual about this, or maybe he was pretending to be casual to not embarrass her. She was still ashamed of course, letting him spray her down, still covering her groin and nipples. The icy water did help to make her feel like she wasn’t wallowing in urine anymore. “I-I guess… wait, you said you were watching me the whole time?” it suddenly clicked as to what he said earlier. Vulpes immediately tensed up, blushing heavily at the accusation, “I just… I wanted to make sure you were doing okay!” “Okay… peeing?” “W-well you were wet, it’s a slipping hazard, And clearly soemthing DID happen so you weren’t okay.” he immediately felt guilty about blaming her in her time of shame, “I’m sorry, i’m not blaming you, just… things happen… j-just move your hand so i can spray the rest off…” he spritzed at her hands, encouraging her to move them. She eyes him suspiciously, moving her hand away from her groin, instead folding over the other hand as she watches him. Her suspicious glare was shot down when he sprayed over her groin. The water pressure wasn’t as high, but the frigid water in the hose permeating the trunk to her loins was jarring, knocking her out of her suspicious thoughts for a moment. “Turn around and I'll rinse off your uh… backside…” She did as instructed, letting him spray her bottom off. Again she obeyed, turning around and letting him shoot over her/ He stayed pretty high, or pretty low, keeping the sides as well. He seemed to be avoiding her more sensitive area and It wasn’t really helping with the warmth issue between her legs. The water eventually stopped as he let go of the nozzle, “Okay, I think you’re cleaned.” She felt better, sure, the chilling water running down her thighs… but there was still a warmth closer to her groin. He hardly sprayed off the source at all. She found herself bending over, the wet trunks hugging her bottom tightly as she leaned, “I don’t think you got right in the middle there… It’s still… I feel like it’s still dirty…” Vulpes closed his eyes, wincing from the wording, whether it was intentional or not… Either way she was right… and it wasn’t like he was touching her directly… so he started to spray toward the center, running it along her buttcrack and groin. The cooling water rushed over her loins, making her tense up with delight. Her fingers curled against her knees in her leaned over position, biting her lip as she controlled herself to not make a noise… However, a sudden change in pressure shot into her vagina, the pressure easily knocking through the trunk to pound against her loins. Even though it was cold, the sudden surge of… feeling made her jump with a ‘eep’ “There ya go, i think you’re all cleaned up.” “You did that on purpose!” she cried, covering herself again. “The nozzle slipped, I’m sorry. You’re okay right?” he asked, seemingly trying to hide his face as he looked away… perhaps regretting the shot to her loins? She huffed a bit… but if he did shoot her there on purpose… that would be very interesting… She managed to just leave it for now and hop back into the pool, splashing around happily. Even with her chest being out for all to see, Vulpes seemed to be calm about it. If her hair was cut short one could mistake her for a young boy, although closer inspection would see that her breasts were just starting to push outward… Still, the two managed to keep things light hearted as they played. Eventually though, thunder started to rumble in the distance, meaning they would have to get up and get out. A rinse in the shower, drying up and new clothes, and the two were refreshed. Vulpes went ahead and began working on Dinner, so Jaqui went back to her room to get some Back To School ideas online…
