The story is long and I take some time to develop the plot and characters. I hope you will find it interesting. Also note, the balance of chapters will move into a different category, please take the time to find them. Thanks for reading. --W ] * I picked up my towel and used it to wipe my face, I had just gotten out of the pool after swimming my morning laps. "Morning Jo." I said to JoAnn as I saw her come around the side of the house toward the pool. I watched her bare breasts bounce as she walked, I always enjoyed the sight of them. She was wearing the bottom half of her bikini but her top was in the truck just as it always was. "Hey Travis, how's the water this morning?" She said, getting closer so she could speak without shouting. "Great. Nothing like a nice swim early in the morning to get the blood pumping." I answered, still watching her breasts bounce as she walked. I turned and walked into the pool house, JoAnn following me. She went to the supply closet to check the pool chemicals while I went into the shower to wash the chlorine off. JoAnn had come to me three years ago and asked if she could service my pool. At the time a company in town had been doing the work, sending someone out twice a week to check the pH and adjust the chemicals as necessary. The guy would also maintain the filter and clean the pool and really do whatever was needed. "Sorry, I've already got someone to do that." I had said in response to her request, the company had been servicing the pool for as long as I could remember. "I'll bet I can do a better job and for less money." She had persisted. At the time I didn't even have a clue how much we were being charged. I probably should have but I was just starting to get more involved in the day-to-day running of the ranch. "I'll tell you what, let me look into it and I'll see what I can do. Give me your card and I'll get back to you in a couple of days." I had told her, wondering if she would just consider this a brush off or if she expected I would actually follow through. But I did check and I found out I was paying $1200 a month for the company to service the pool. Again I had to admit to myself at least that I didn't have any idea if this was a good price or not. "I can do it for $400 a month." JoAnn had told me over the phone when I called her 2 days later. "How can you be so much cheaper than the other company? Am I going to get some sort of shoddy service from you?" I asked, wondering how she really could afford to underbid the other company. "I promise I will do as good a job if not better than your current service company. If you really want to know, they are ripping you off!" Was her simple answer. "And what guarantee do I have that you're going to do a good job?" I continued to question. "If I don't do what I promise, you can fire me. All I ask is that you give me six months and then you can reassess my service to you. I don't think you'll be unhappy." She had seemed confident of herself and I decided I would give her a chance. The money wasn't that big a deal, we had been paying $1200 a month for quite some time even though I really didn't get involved in the day-to-day business activities. The next week JoAnn came to service the pool, she was cheerful and arrived early, wearing shorts and a T-shirt with the logo "JoAnn's pool service" on the left breast. She did everything I expected her to, exactly what the guy from the other company did. At the end of the week the water was still clear and everything seemed to be in perfect shape. The next week when she arrived she had dispensed with the T-shirt and shorts, this time wearing her bikini. I didn't really think much of it since it was hot here in the Texas sun and she was working hard. Again the pool did not suffer and I didn't give her another thought until the following week. That was when I got my first surprise. I was near the pool when I heard someone approaching and as I turned I saw her walking toward me topless. I thought to say something but she just walked past me as though this was completely natural. I guess I was a little shocked but I didn't say anything, just watching her out of the corner of my eyes as she worked and at the same time I tried not to stare. She was a very attractive woman but she was working for me and I didn't want to offend her by hitting on her. Besides, I hardly knew her and I wasn't the type to pick up strange women. "You're not naked!" I said to JoAnn the following week when I saw her. "No, but I can be if you want." She answered with a smile, a look of curiosity on her face. "No, it's just that... Well, the first week you were wearing T-shirt and shorts and then the bikini and then the last week just the bottoms. I was half expecting you to work naked today." I said with a grin. "Like I said, I can if you want but really I'm most comfortable without the top. Working like this helps me get rid of any tan lines I might have otherwise." She had answered as she was starting to check the pool for chemicals. "No problem, you do whatever works for you. The pool is just fine and I think you're doing a great job." And that was three years ago. I was in the shower washing off the chlorine when the door opened and JoAnn stepped in. It wasn't a surprise, she did this occasionally and it was something I looked forward to even though I didn't always expect it. The first time she had joined me here I was surprised, wondering what her intention was. "I love to suck cock, what can I say?" Was her answer when I asked what she was doing in the shower with me. I looked at her hand as she knelt down in front of me, I could see a wedding ring but apparently that wasn't going to stop her now. She turned me so the water was spraying at my back as she knelt in front of me, most of the water cascading off of me as she took my cock into her hands. She looked up at me with a smile on her face and a gleam in her eyes, and quickly my cock found a home in her warm and wet mouth. It didn't take long before she had me hard, sliding her lips and wet tongue up and down as she toyed with my balls. She sucked and slurped for several minutes, her mouth never stopping as my cock slid in and out. I could feel myself getting closer, my legs were starting to get rubbery and she knew the end was getting close. She had wrapped her hand around the base of my shaft and was stroking me now. She had moved her mouth back and was only working the head but that was enough. I could feel the hot liquid boiling up from my balls and heading through my cock, soon it would be exiting and JoAnn would get what she wanted. Just as my semen was reaching the tip of my cock, she pulled her mouth off and pointed my shaft at her chest, still jerking me furiously as she alternately watched my face for reaction and then looked at my cock head to see the hot liquid pulsing out across her bare breasts. The first time she had sucked my cock she had told me she didn't like the taste but delighted in having the hot goo shoot all over her. Who was I to complain, once the stuff left my cock I really didn't care where it went. After Jo had milked all my cream from me, she stood up and gave me a hug, bringing her lips to mine for a sensual kiss. There was nothing between us but this irregular ritual, she following me into the shower to blow me and then she would hug and kiss me for a minute before we each rinsed off and went back to our lives as though nothing had happened. Who was I to complain, her mouth felt wonderful and on the days it occurred, it was a perfect way to start. We each finished washing the other to get all the goo off, and then JoAnn went out to tend to the pool while I dried and dressed. ***** I was in my office in the house, I did most of my work from here even though the company office was in town. It wouldn't bother me to go into town to work although it was almost a 90 minute ride and that was if I exceeded the speed limit, something I did regularly. With the aid of a lot of electronic tools, I could do just about everything I needed to from here which made things a lot easier. There was a lot going on and it had taken me several years to get a handle on it. My father had started the company many years before, and had built it from nothing to the multimillion dollar business it was today. Dad had started out working in the oil fields of West Texas as a teenager, working long hours in the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter to learn the oil business. He had saved his money for several years until he had a stake and then went out on his own, a wildcat oil prospector. It'd taken him many years and a lot of dry holes before he hit the big one. The oil had been enough to make him prosperous but he never forgot his roots. He also had used the time and experience wisely, he knew as much or more about the oil business as anyone in Texas. After his first strike he continued to find new sources of oil, it was almost as though he could smell it in the ground. His own company was growing as was his demand with other organizations, each of them wanting to purchase his expertise to assist their own efforts. My father was smart enough to recognize that oil might not be the answer to all of his worries, once he started to become more comfortable he decided to diversify himself, soon his company was pumping oil and also consulting with other companies. He also got into the cattle business, buying a large piece of land for the cattle to graze on and also provide a home for his young family. Now the ranch sat on that property, 32,000 acres in Southwest Texas. Dad had married later in life than many, he was close to 50 when he met my mother. She was 28 at the time but from what I remember they had loved each other deeply. He had told her he didn't want a family until he was able to provide everything he thought a family would deserve. Shortly after they married I was born and two years later my sister Alexis followed. We didn't think anything of it at the time we grew, but our family had everything we needed although my father was never one to forget his roots. Why go out and spend $100,000 on a car when a $15,000 pick up would do just as well. We had everything we needed but our parents were never ones to spend lavishly or live too ostentatiously. It was a real shock the day they died. Dad had been out in the Gulf consulting with another company on one of their drilling rigs and mom had gone with him. They were coming back on a helicopter when it crashed. I was 19 and Alex 17, and the event stunned each of us. I took it hard but Alex took it even harder. I know she loved both our parents equally although she was daddy's little girl. She withdrew into a shell for six months, barely coming out of her room to eat. I tried getting through to her but nothing seemed to help. She would barely talk and many nights I could hear her crying in her room. During that time 'uncle' Lew did his best to help us, he had been one of my father's oldest friends, each growing up together. While dad had gone into the oil fields Lew had gone to school, and then had become a lawyer after that. He had been executor of my parents' will and trustee of the estate, valued at more than $500 million at the time our parents died. The will had stipulated that Alex and I would each split the estate, although it was put into trust for us until our 25th birthdays'. Lewis took care of running the business, he had hired accountants and financial advisors and various other experts to help take care of things. He knew they would be required but told me that at some point it was going to be my responsibility to take over. At the time they died, I was just starting my second year in college, majoring in geology and planning to go into the family business anyway. Now events had thrust me into it even before I was ready but I felt capable of doing what I needed to. I was ready to quit school to come back to running things full-time, but Lewis told me my parents would never allow me to do that if they had been alive and I knew he was right. It was difficult for me to do but I stuck with it and finished out getting my degree at Texas A&M. Alex had been traumatized by their death, but almost 6 months to the day it was as if a switch had been turned on. Her demeanor went from dark and morose to happy and carefree almost overnight. It was a complete turnaround, almost as though she wanted to live life to the fullest and beyond in an attempt to forget. She was constantly partying and getting into trouble, fortunately nothing too serious. I know of several times Lewis had pulled some strings to keep some of her more outrageous behaviors quiet. The first couple of times it'd been simple shoplifting and then there was public intoxication and the final one that I remember was indecent exposure. She and three of her friends had been skinny dipping in the fountain in front of City Hall. Somehow she always managed to avoid any consequences for these behaviors, and perhaps that hurt her in the long run. She started thinking there was no consequence to her actions but also, fortunately, some of her Wilder proclivities started to calm. She was still wild and carefree, but a lot of that wildness was now exercised here at the ranch rather than in town where everyone might see her. ***** I had been working in my office for several hours now, there were many phone calls to answer and letters to write. I needed to keep up with the business, I was making most of the decisions now so it was important for me that I have as much information as possible. My stomach was starting to growl so I put aside the paperwork and went out into the kitchen. Carmelita was there already getting dinner prepared, she could anticipate my needs almost better than I could myself. "Good morning Mr. Travis. Are you hungry?" She asked as she heard me enter behind her. "Yes I am. What are you fixing?" I wondered, she always could make amazing meals. Carmelita was our housekeeper and did cooking for us, she had been with the family ever since I was small. "I am making tamales for dinner, but I can heat a few for you now if you would like." She said, turning back to her work at the counter. "That sounds good Carmelita. Unfortunately, I have to go into town this afternoon and Alex will be going with me. I'm not sure we're going to be back in time for dinner. You can cook them for us tomorrow though, I'm sure they will be good the second day." "Yes, they will be fine tomorrow. Sit down and I will fix a plate for you." She said, getting a plate from the cupboard and starting to fill it. She was a wonderful cook and I often wondered how I managed to maintain a normal weight, I could foresee myself getting fat without much effort if I allowed myself to gorge on the wonderful food she prepared every day. I ate a plate of tamales and followed it with a beer, the food and drink were just right to chase away the grumbling that had been present in my stomach. I had to go out to talk to my sister, today we would have to go into town to see Lewis. I did this on a quarterly basis but Alex had to accompany me once a year as Lewis went over all of the details of our business that had developed during the previous year. I knew how much Alex disliked doing this, but as half owner of the company she really needed to be there and often there would be legal documents she might have to sign. I knew she would complain, but in the end she relented, agreeing that she knew it was something that had to be done. Normally Alex rolled out of bed right around the crack of noon, but I knew they were outside right now. When I say they, I mean Alex and her three friends. I referred to them as the gang of four, they always seemed to be together. They fed off each other, each one trying to be more outrageous than the others and in the end I had seen them all get into their share of trouble. I wasn't too worried about the other three, I knew them as friends of Alex but they were not my concern. On the other hand, Alex was. I was her big brother and in many ways I tried to be her guardian angel although that wasn't always possible. In some ways I wanted to be her conscience too but I knew that was totally out of the question, all I knew was that I would do what was required to take care of her. As I said earlier, sometimes that would require me to make a call to Lewis or more often he would call me to inform me what trouble she had been able to avoid. I can remember several years ago when she was in her wildest period having to have some of the larger and more 'assertive' ranch hands have a talk with several over exuberant potential suitors who were sniffing around Alex. I don't think she ever knew, but I hoped I had done the right thing for her. I went from the cool air-conditioned house out into the Texas heat, it was Midsummer and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The four of them were at the pool although none had been in the water as far as I knew. I would often find them out here, sometimes they would sun themselves and sometimes sit under the large umbrella and gossip. Each of them had a full complement of electronic implements, sitting there texting or sending tweets and images to who knows who. Sometimes I wondered if they might even be texting each other as they sat together. In any event it was always loud and boisterous as they laughed and talked and had a good time. I was going to remind Alex that we had to leave in another hour, it was a long drive into town and then several hours with Lewis. As I got closer to the women they slowed their talking, each turning to look at me as I approached. Not one of them was wearing a top, there were four sets of bare breasts glistening with sweat and oil. Had this not been a normal occurrence, I probably would've become aroused with a Boner growing in my pants, but it was a normal occurrence. Still, I took in each one quickly because I'm a normal, horny guy and they were definitely worth looking at. Courtney was the first and probably the hottest of the four, she was a pretentious trust fund baby but a damned hot pretentious trust fund baby. I guessed she was 5 '10" with long blonde hair, proportionally large breasts, a nice ripe ass and legs that were oh so long. She was watching me intently as I stood there waiting to talk to Alex. Beside her was Liz, Liz was shorter with darker hair and more petite, but she was also super hot. Alex's third friend was Ellen, she was more quiet and reserved than the other three and although still attractive, didn't project the same degree of hotness as her friends did. She seemed more quiet and studious than the others, although she always followed their lead and wasn't the least bit nervous sitting there in front of me without a top on. Finally my sister Alex, her long dark hair and Brown skin came from our mother's Mexican heritage. She too was sitting there without a top, her breasts almost as large as Courtney's although she was 4 inches shorter. She and Courtney had been roommates in college but I'm not sure how the other two came to be part of this group. In any case, all four were super hot and I wouldn't mind finding any of them in my bed, although there were several reasons why that would never happen. First, Alex was my sister so she got crossed off the list quickly. The other three although each very desirable, just didn't fit my vision of the woman I would want to have a relationship with. I didn't really want to think of them as sluts or tramps, but their behavior colored my opinion of them so they almost met that criterion. It was strange, but the thought of getting involved with someone as crazy and outrageous as any of these four women just wasn't what I was looking for. "Hey Travis, go tell Carmelita to bring us more bloody Mary's!" Alex ordered me as I got close enough to the four of them. Travis's Tale Ch. 01 "I'm not going to order her to do anything. Why don't one of you go ask her nicely if she will make another batch, after all she isn't one of your slaves." I corrected her. Alex pouted but none of the four girls made any move to stand or go toward the house to see if Carmelita might mix up another round for them. I was in a magnanimous mood today and decided that I would ask Carmelita myself, I felt certain that the four of them or perhaps just Alex had already ordered her to make the first round. "I'll be back." I said, turning to walk back to the house. "You're a good brother." I heard Alex say behind me, and then the other three laughed uproariously. I thought I could detect a little sincerity in her words, but then again... "The girls are ready for another round of bloody Mary's Carmelita, what can I do to help you?" "You are very kind Mr. Travis, but I do not need help. I made extra this morning so all I need to do is to pour." Carmelita knew my sister and her friends well, she was always thinking ahead. Soon she had four glasses filled and placed them on a tray, holding the door for me as I walked out onto the patio and back to the women. I set the tray on the table and each of the four immediately took one of the glasses, only Ellen offering her thanks for bringing it out. "Alex, remember I told you we had to go into town to review the business this afternoon. I'll be ready to leave in about an hour, make sure you are too." I told her, the reason I had come out here in the first place. "Aww man! Do I really have to, you know how I hate this." She whined. "Yes you have to. We go through this every time, it's only once a year so just suck it up. I'll take you to dinner in town before we come back." "You know, you could eat here if you wanted..." I heard Courtney say from behind me. Turning, I saw that she had dropped the back of the lounge chair she was sitting in, and at some point had removed the bottoms of her bikini. She was now completely naked and as I watched she took the sliced carrot that had been garnishing her drink and slid it into her pussy before pulling it out and offering it to me. "Want a taste?" She said suggestively, looking at my face for reaction. There was no doubt what she wanted, and it was difficult for me to refuse the offer. If this had been the first time something like this had happened, I might not have been able to but she had been throwing herself at me for several months now. I could feel the tingle in my loins, I knew that if I kept staring at her bare crotch the girls would all see something growing in my pants, something I desperately wanted to avoid. "Like I said, I'll take you to dinner in town after we're done seeing Lewis." I reiterated to my sister, turning to go back into the house. I did hear the four of them giggling behind me, I don't know if they were aware of Courtney's plans before she did it but none of them seemed to be upset by her actions. ***** I was ready before Alex but not by much. I had put on my favorite western cut suit and a pair of new ostrich skin boots. I had visions of being the genteel Southern gentleman and tried my best to maintain the image. Alex came out of her room in a black lace camisole and black miniskirt. She wore a white jacket with three quarter sleeves, her outfit seemed more appropriate for a night of clubbing but I knew better than to suggest she wear something more suited for business. "Planning to go dancing after dinner?" I kidded as she was arranging her purse. "Not unless you ask me nicely." She answered with a smirk. We were to meet with Lewis at 3 o'clock, and it was about 1:30 when we got on the road. We were taking my Corvette, a new ZR-1 that had barely 1000 miles on it so far. I had lusted after it when I first saw it in the showroom, and soon there was a shiny new model sitting in the driveway. It was right beside Alex's Lexus sedan, she insisted on something large enough for her and her friends to fit into. The drive would take about 90 minutes, although I would probably have to maintain a speed above 85 miles an hour in order to meet my time constraint. That wasn't a problem for me, I love driving fast. We managed to make the appointment on time, even a few minutes early. The meeting went as I had expected, there were lots of numbers, facts and figures. Most of what Lewis related to me I already knew, I had been doing a lot of the day-to-day management of the business but this is something that had to be done every year to make things official. Just as I knew and just as Alex had feared, she was totally bored and except for the fact that her presence was required, there was nothing that could not have been done without her. After two hours the meeting was ended and I shook Lew's hand. Alex gave him a hug, he had been almost like a real uncle to us our entire lives and we each felt an attachment to him even more so than strictly business. I had promised Alex I would take her to dinner so we went to the steakhouse, they did a marvelous job here with beef. We had both grown up in Texas and red meat had been a staple in both of our lives. Alex wasn't fat or out of shape in the least, but she could put away a good steak just as well as most men. She was totally feminine, but not a girly girl who might insist on salads and ice water. Still, she did have to have her fruity drink while I stuck to bourbon. "Did you learn anything at the meeting this afternoon?" I asked Alex, I already knew the answer but thought I would ask just in case. "It was a total waste of time if you ask me. He could've recorded the meeting last year and played it back and I wouldn't have known the difference." She said, sipping on her drink. I was ready to answer when her phone chimed, she got a text and took her attention from me to see what was on the screen. I hated this, the fact that she seemed more interested in texting and talking to various people than in what she was doing face-to-face. It wasn't just her, there were quite a few people in the restaurant and most had some electronic device on the table in front of them. I wasn't any sort of technophobe, I used the same devices myself although I tried to be more judicious in how and when I used them. "So who's that?" I asked, Alex had read her incoming text and replied. "It's just Courtney, she wanted to know how the meeting went." Alex answered. "Don't tell me she's really interested in something like that?" The thought that Courtney might have any interest in what went on in one of these business meetings was a totally foreign concept. "Surprises me too, but she said she's interested to know how things went and when we're coming back." "She wants to know when we're coming back? Does that mean she's going to be there?" I asked, thinking back to Courtney's comment about getting something to eat back at the ranch. "She might be. I don't know, I could ask her if you want." Alex offered. "No, if you ask anything like that it might only encourage her." Alex laughed, perhaps she knew something I didn't but I tried not to think about it. Our dinner continued like this, we engaged in small talk and were constantly interrupted by incoming texts and then I had to wait as Alex insisted on replying to each and every one. "Can't you turn that thing off at least until we're done with dinner here?" I asked in exasperation. "Why would I want to do that?" She wanted to know, I wondered if she really had any clue. "Never mind, you'll never change." It was about 8:30 when we left the restaurant, the meal had been good but I was still slightly annoyed with Alex and her insistence on interrupting our conversation. There was still about half an hour of daylight before it would be getting dark but that didn't bother me, I had been down this road dozens of times and probably could have navigated it with my eyes closed. We were driving along and surprisingly I hadn't heard any incoming texts from Alex's phone. "Nobody to talk to?" I asked. "I turned it off, didn't you want me to do that?" She said without looking at me. Her answer surprised me but I wasn't going to complain. We continued driving, we had left the town and were now on an open road, the flat plains of West Texas stretched out in all directions. The sun had set several minutes earlier and we were talking although not about anything too serious. Alex had reclined her seat back a bit, her feet were on the dash. The moon was barely a sliver in the sky but I could see her legs in the light from the instrument panel, her short skirt had ridden up to the point I could almost see her underwear. I guess it really wouldn't make much difference, she didn't seem to have any problem showing herself off to me back at the ranch so I tried to forget those thoughts and just concentrate on our conversation. "Courtney likes you, I think she wants to fuck you." Alex suddenly said out of nowhere. I'm not sure how much she might like me or she's just looking for another conquest. As for sleeping with me, she's been trying to get me to do that for a long time." I answered, trying not to show surprise at Alex's language. "No, I think she really does like you. I know sometimes she seems outrageous but there's a different side to her." Courtney had always seemed the stereotypical blonde bimbo, but I had noticed on a number of occasions small signs that maybe she wasn't as much of a bimbo as she might want people to think. It wasn't anything obvious, but sometimes things just didn't seem to fit the image she was projecting. Maybe Alex knew something I didn't or maybe she too had noticed some of the subtle differences. "Is she going to be there when we get back?" I asked Alex again, she had avoided answering the question in the restaurant. "She said she wanted to but when I left this afternoon she wasn't certain. She wouldn't really give me an answer when I texted her." Alex relayed. "I guess we'll find out when we get there." I replied, wondering to myself if Courtney would be there and why she might have concerns about something like that. We were about 15 miles away from the ranch and this was my favorite part of the drive. Up until now the road had been mostly straight and flat, but now it started to get curvier and this really let me appreciate the way my car handled. I know I drove way too fast, but down deep I was a thrill seeker and this played right into my adventurous nature. We were coming up on a sweeping right hand turn, I was driving over 100 miles an hour even though the car felt totally stable as it hugged the road. I was looking down the road toward where we would be going and the corner of my eye saw a momentary flash, it barely registered in my mind when suddenly the left front tire blew out. This was the worst possible tire to blow, the right front was trying to direct us left off the road even though the road curved right "What the hell..." I heard Alex say as suddenly the car left the road and hit a rut. The next thing I felt was a bigger rut which grabbed the left side tires and the car rolled over. It rolled completely, landed hard on all four wheels and then started to roll again although it stopped halfway up on the side. Surprisingly the air bags did not deploy, although I would only realize this later as I replayed the incident in my mind. The T-top above my head had popped out when the car landed upright on the ground, now we were each lying on our sides as the car had stopped moving. I was leaning against the driver's door but Alex was half hanging in her seatbelt, I could feel her trying to push herself up off of me with her arms. Before I could think about doing anything or what to say, I heard a crack and then something hit the car. I wasn't sure what it was and not sure Alex even noticed. "What the hell did you do? You're not a racecar driver, why do you pretend you are?" She was demanding, she sounded really pissed. I heard another crack and something else hit the car and suddenly I realized what it was. At that moment I smelled the gasoline. Come on Alex. We have to get out of here." I insisted, reaching over to try to unfasten the seatbelt that was holding her in place. "No shit Sherlock!" She was still pissed, she didn't know what was going on. I heard another crack and something else hit the car. "What was that?" Alex asked, suddenly aware. "We've got to get out of here. Get that jacket off!" I told her, not explaining anything to her. "What? Why do I have to take my jacket off? What's going on?" The seatbelt had released and she was lying partially across my side, but we had to get out. The car was tilted onto its side and the door would never open but with the T-top out, we had an avenue of escape. I reached behind the seat and grabbed the holster, I always carried a gun with me because here one never knew what one might run into. In the desert there were always rattlesnakes, Gila monsters or even wild pigs. Those were just the natural hazards, the danger of running into Mexican drug runners or illegals was always there. Being armed was a fact of life. "Take my hand, we've got to get out of here. I slid out and half pulled Alex with me, she was moving but not as quickly as I thought she needed to. I don't think she was happy about it but did manage to take off the jacket, but a white jacket would be just like a target out here in the middle of darkness. She followed me slowly, even though I was pulling and urging her to move more quickly although trying to keep my voice down. "What's going on?" She insisted before I shushed her. "Be quiet, we've got to get away from here." I said, now whispering. I heard another crack and heard something hit the car, no doubt in my mind what was going on. Alex heard it too, we were both out of the car and she had lived in this part of the country long enough to know the sound. "Who's shooting at us?" She demanded, although she had heeded my words to keep her voice down. "No idea, but we've got to get away from the car." I answered, urging her to slide down the hill into a gully, putting the car behind us. I heard another shot and the car blew up. The shooter had hit what he was aiming for, although I'm sure several of his earlier shots had punctured the gas tank. His intention was for one of the shots to cause a spark that would ignite the gas. Apparently he had succeeded. "Why was he shooting at us?" Alex again wanted to know. At that moment I heard an engine fire and then the sound of a vehicle heading down the road at high speed. I couldn't be sure why anyone had been shooting at us, but apparently the intention was not robbery. If somebody wanted the car, why continue shooting until it blew up. It didn't make any sense but right now I wasn't thinking logically enough to try to make sense of this. "What now?" Alex asked, she too had heard the vehicle leave and we realized we were alone out here in the desert. "I don't think there's much chance of any traffic driving down this road, very few people come down this road unless they are heading to the ranch and most of those do it in the daytime. I guess we need to start walking." I said simply. "Can you call someone to get us?" She asked, although I wondered why she would ask me. "I reached into my pocket for my phone but it was dead. I felt the bruise on my ribs right where my phone had been sitting in my pocket, I realized it'd been crushed between me and the door and that probably had something to do with the fact it was not working. "My phone's dead, see if you can get someone on yours." I informed Alex. "I left the phone in the car. I don't think we're going to be calling anyone." She said, surprisingly she didn't sound all that upset. I knew about where we were and I also knew that we could probably shave four or 5 miles off our journey if we cut across the desert instead of following the road. I also knew just how dangerous that would be, with very little light from the moon to see potential hazards I didn't think it very wise. It wasn't the shortest route, but following the road would be the safest way to get there. "We're going to have to stay on the road, it'll take a little longer but it's going to be safer. Are you ready for a walk?" I asked her. "Do I have a choice?" she said, it almost sounded as if there was a chuckle in her voice. "Well, you can sit here and wait for a taxi but I don't think one will be by for quite a while." "Looks like we walk." She said, starting to walk up the hill and back toward the road we had left several minutes earlier. The car was burning brightly which gave us enough light to see where we were going on the road, the sight of it making me really angry as I realized someone had taken away my favorite toy. Sure it could be replaced easily, but why should it have to be? That's a question that would be answered at some other time, right now we had a long walk ahead of us. I was still holding the holster that I had brought with me, originally I had thoughts of using the gun against the shooter but since I didn't know how many there might be that probably wasn't a good idea anyway. I strapped it on before we started walking, I hoped I would not need it but I felt better that I had it with me. "How far to the ranch?" Alex asked as we started walking down the road. "It's about 15 miles I think. Doesn't really matter though, we just have to keep walking until we get there." I answered, I knew that keeping track of the distance would only make it seem longer. "This really sucks! I know how much you loved that car, why would someone want to do that?" Alex was trying to figure out what had happened, but I was shocked that her concern would be for me and the loss of my new toy. She always seemed somewhat shallow I thought, I would've expected her to be complaining about losing her phone in the fire or having to spend the rest of the night walking this deserted road. Maybe she was becoming more mature. It was hot, the day had been well over 100° and even now I doubted if the temperature had dropped much below 85. The asphalt of the road itself had been soaking up heat all day and now was giving it off, making our journey even warmer. I was still wearing my suit coat since I hadn't even thought about taking it off but that probably wouldn't last much longer. I almost envied Alex for wearing a skimpy top and short skirt that I had chastised her about earlier. The heat wouldn't be much of an issue for her, well, at least not as much as for me. Right now I was a little less concerned about the heat than my feet. Those fancy new ostrich skin boots that had appeared so fashionable were not really meant for walking any distance. We just kept walking, neither of us had much to say. ***** We had walked all night and were both hot and tired. Sadly I had to admit I was not in very good physical shape, I probably should have done more than I did. I swam in the pool every day which helped, but apparently I probably should be doing more. Right about now the thought of spending time in the water was an appealing one but we still had another half mile to go before we reached the ranch. I did see it in the distance and had to resist the urge to pick up my pace, Alex and I were both dragging from the long walk. The sun was up and getting hotter. I could feel the sweat running down my face and onto my shirt, it was sticking to me and I was glad I had taken off the suit coat several hours earlier. I hadn't wanted to leave it behind, the suit fit me well and I liked the way I looked in it. I looked at Alex and could see the sweat running off of her also. The light wind had kicked up some dust and I could see lines of mud across her face and upper torso on her skin. I'm sure I didn't look any better. "I'm going to spend the whole day in a bath. Not a hot one, it's going to be as cold as I can get the water." Alex was talking, and although my thoughts had not included a bath, the sentiment was there. All I knew was that as soon as we got into the house, I'd be stripping out of these clothes and doing whatever it took to cool off. First though, I knew I would need something to drink. Not alcohol although that thought was appealing since it might help to subdue some of the anger that had been burning in the back of my mind all the way back to my car. No, right now I needed something to hydrate myself and replace a lot of the liquid I had lost from sweat. Travis's Tale Ch. 01 We got to the front gate and walked through, it was only another hundred feet to the front door and I could tell that my pace had quickened unconsciously. Alex was right there beside me, she too was anticipating getting out of the sun and the heat. "Wait!" I warned Alex, I could see the front door standing open. Alex was ready to question my command to her when she too saw what I was looking at. We slowed our pace and cautiously approached the door, I could see the doorframe was splintered with a large crack in the front door where it had been forced open. I didn't know what to expect but reached for my pistol and took it out of the holster, I was going to be ready this time. "Stay behind me Alex, somebody might be in the house." I warned, trying to keep my voice low. She did as I instructed and we approached the open door cautiously, now aware of every sound we heard. I reached the door and looked in as best I could without opening it any further, but did not see anything that looked suspicious. I cautiously pushed the door completely open but nothing happened. We entered the house slowly and looked around and I started to see things out of place. There were signs someone had been looking for something, I assumed someone had entered with the intent of robbing us. We moved cautiously through the house into each room in turn, there were signs that the house had been searched everywhere we looked. My office appeared to be the most torn up which surprised me, there was nothing of value in here although I guess whoever had been in the house couldn't have known that. "My jewelry!" Alex suddenly blurted out, turning to go to her room. I grabbed her by the arm before she could run off since I didn't know who or what might still be in the house. "Stay behind me Alex, we'll check your room next." I said, trying to reassure her but I could see she was worried about what might have been taken. We went to her room and it too had been searched, several drawers were open and various things had been dumped onto the floor. She went to her jewelry box to check and confirmed that some things had been taken but surprisingly she said others had been left behind. "They took some of my rings and bracelets but some of these other things are worth more." She said, doing a brief inventory of what was and wasn't in the box. We checked all the rooms one at a time, finally ending in the kitchen. "This really pisses me off!" Alex started. "First they shoot at us on the road and now somebody breaks into our house. That's one hell of a coincidence isn't it?" It wasn't a coincidence, at least not to me it wasn't. Still, I had no idea what the two events had in common but right now we needed to call the police and try to figure something out. "What was that?" Alex suddenly asked, grabbing my free hand and squeezing it. "What?" I asked. "Didn't you hear it? I could swear I heard something back there." I went in the direction she was pointing, the only room we had not looked in was the utility room off the kitchen, the washer and dryer and food pantry were the only things in that room. I was holding the pistol at the ready, not certain what to expect when I cautiously turned the knob on the door and pushed it open. Inside on the floor we saw Carmelita and Courtney, bound, gagged, blindfolded and sitting back to back. "Oh my God, I hope they're not hurt!" Alex shouted as she rushed to the two women sitting on the floor. I could see the relief in Courtney as she heard Alex's voice, I'm sure she was wondering who might be in the house and possibly afraid that whomever had done this was coming back. Alex took the blindfold off Courtney first and I could see the relief on her face as she blinked in the sunlight before focusing on Alex in front of her. Alex started pulling the duct tape off of her mouth as I knelt in front of Carmelita and took the blindfold off of her. I could also see relief in her face but combined with that was extreme fear. She was older and I'm certain whatever had happened had been totally traumatic for her and I could completely understand that fear. Alex had finished removing the duct tape from Courtney's mouth but before Alex could say anything Courtney croaked out a request for water. Alex and I had each forgotten our own need for fluids but now the thought that these two women had been here for who knows how long brought that thought back to our minds. "Get some water for them Alex, I'll get them untied." Alex got up and went back into the kitchen and I could hear the glasses and then running water. I took the duct tape off Carmelita, pulling slowly and trying not to hurt her but the adhesive was pretty sticky. I could see her grimace slightly but she was strong enough not to whimper as the last of the tape came off. Their arms and legs were bound with nylon tie wraps and their hands had been bound together behind them, I wasn't sure how long they had been sitting there. I took my pocket knife and sliced through the straps and soon they were free from the restraints. Alex brought four glasses of water in on a tray, setting it on the washer before helping me to get the other two women off the floor. "What happened?" Alex asked even though I wasn't sure that would be the first thing to determine. "Drink some water slowly, then move around and get your circulation back." I told Courtney and Carmelita, I'm sure they would need to do both. ***** "What the hell is going on here Travis?" The question came from Detective Pedro Fuentes, or Pete as I had known him since the fourth grade. "I don't know Pete, I just don't know." I was cooler and had replenished the fluids I had lost during the two hours it took the police to arrive after we called them. The four of us had talked but had come to no conclusions. Besides the heat and thirst, I had been up for more than 24 hours now and I knew that Alexis was also nearing that same mark. "We saw your car on the road a ways back. I thought it was yours, you have the only one of those around here but after I checked the plates I knew. I don't suppose you can tell me how all those bullet holes got in it can you?" He wondered, I was wondering the same thing even though I had been there. "I don't know Pete, somebody started shooting at us last night. It was too dark to see what was going on and we were more worried about keeping our heads down than anything else." "Probably best that way. And what about the break-in here? Do you think the two events are related?" It was an informal interview but he was asking all the questions he needed to know the answers to. "I don't know that they are, but it's a hell of a coincidence if they're not." "I'll get a forensics team out here as quickly as I can. Have you people touched anything?" Pete was his usual efficient self. "I suppose we have, we didn't realize when we first came in and then I guess we didn't think about it as we started going through the various rooms." "Any idea what's missing?" He continued. "Alex says some of her jewelry is gone but we haven't had time to do a very careful inventory yet. Other than that I didn't see anything very obvious but like I said we went through quickly so I'll have to check later." He was writing down a few things on his pad and nodding as I talked. As I thought about what I had seen I couldn't help but think that the thieves were either rank amateurs or that the whole thing had been staged. Certainly there were a lot of expensive items that could have been taken that weren't. The rooms that had been ransacked looked as though the scene had been carefully constructed rather than someone searching for anything of value. There were a number of valuable items in the house, and perhaps someone might be looking for quick cash but that didn't seem to be the case at least in my opinion. I wondered if he'd had the same impression, but if he did he didn't say. "Look Pete, Carmelita is really upset. She doesn't want to stay in the house and said she can stay with her sister. Can she go now?" I asked, our housekeeper had been thoroughly traumatized by the entire event. "I'll get a statement from her and then she can go. As long as we know where she is I don't see any problem with that." He left me sitting there and went over to where the three women had been talking, indicating he would be asking a few questions of Carmelita. She had seemed strong earlier but after we had freed her and she had a chance to think back over what had happened her fear came back. I could understand although she had not been very talkative about exactly what had occurred. Perhaps they could get more information from her or maybe she just needed time. The police had been through the house and examined everything thoroughly and then left. Right now there were many more questions than answers but hopefully they would be able to get some information from whatever they might have found here. I also called a crew to come in to fix the door, it was the only part of the house that had been damaged so fortunately it was repaired quickly. I knew I had to give some thought to better security here, the ranch was fairly isolated but up until now we had never needed anything more than the basic precautions most people usually take. I spent some time in my office trying to straighten up things that had been thrown around, whoever had been in the house seemed to have spent the most time in this room. I wasn't sure why, there wasn't anything of value I could think of here. Perhaps they had thought there might be a safe or maybe they assumed we kept large amounts of cash in the house, but neither was true. I called Lewis and let him know what had happened, he was worried and expressed his concern but I assured him that other than an excess of fear no other damage had been done. I contacted some of the men in the field and let them know of the situation, telling them to be on guard and take extra precautions but really why would anyone want to bother ranch hands or oilfield workers. Still, better to be safe than sorry so I made sure to pass the word. "I'm getting hungry Travis, what do we have to eat?" Alex asked as I had been working in the office for several hours. Carmelita had left earlier to go to her sister's so Alex and Courtney were the only two in the house besides me. "I don't know, why don't you look and see what you can find." I said with a grin, being in the kitchen was like being in a foreign country for Alex. She saw me grinning and knew immediately what I was thinking. "You think I don't know how to cook anything. I'll show you..." She said, an edge to her voice that told me she was going to work hard to prove my opinion of her wrong. "Courtney, I need some help in here." I heard her say as she walked past her friend and toward the kitchen. I didn't think Courtney knew any more about functioning in a kitchen than Alex did but what the heck, trying to find something for dinner would occupy their minds and perhaps allow them to stop worrying. Alex called me into the dining room about 30 minutes later. I was surprised, it actually smelled pretty good in their but once I got close enough I realized she must've found the tamales Carmelita made yesterday. At least she had been able to heat them up, but I guess I couldn't complain since it would be a hot dinner tonight. I was surprised to see a salad on the table beside the tamales and wine glasses at each place, each glass half full of red. "I'm impressed." I said, taking a seat between Alex and Courtney. "You have no faith brother. I told you I could and I did." She said with a snicker, helping herself to several tamales from the serving dish. I realized she hadn't had anything to eat since our dinner in town last night nor had I. Courtney was probably much the same, she had been tied up for a number of hours and certainly hadn't had a chance to eat in that time. We stopped talking and devoted our attention to the food, it was just as good the second day as it would have been yesterday. Carmelita was a marvelous cook and I knew I would miss her meals until she came back. I wasn't going to hold that against her, I knew how upset she had been by the break-in and if she needed a few days or weeks to calm herself I could completely understand. After we had eaten our fill and cleaned up the mess we made, we were left to sit and ponder. "You think we're safe in the house here tonight?" Alex asked with some trepidation. "I don't expect them to come back if that's what you're worried about but I think we need to do a better job with security. I'll make some calls tomorrow and get things in motion. As for tonight, I've got my gun and you have yours as well. Like I said, I don't expect anyone to come back but we will be ready just in case." I didn't think I was understating the potential for danger, whoever had been here last night could've been waiting for us when we got back but they weren't. I didn't have any reason to believe they were interested in any of us but rather more so in something they thought they could find here in the house. We hadn't made a complete inventory, but a cursory look showed some things missing but not nearly as much as might have been. This only confirmed my theory that they had been looking for something specific but if they had found it I wasn't sure what it might be. "Can I stay with you two tonight?" Courtney asked cautiously. "I guess so, but why don't you go to your own home?" Alex asked her friend. "I need to be with someone tonight. My condo is so empty when I'm there by myself, I just... Just need someone here with me." She said as I could see her eyes getting wet. Alex went over and sat beside Courtney, putting an arm around her shoulder. "You can stay here as long as you want, Travis and I won't mind." Alex looked at me for reaction but I simply nodded my head, I didn't have a problem with Courtney staying here and thought I could understand her reasons for wanting to do so. "Travis wants you to stay here too." Alex added although Courtney had seen me agree with Alex's question. "I really appreciate it. Just being here with you two means a lot to me." Courtney said as she tried to wipe the wetness from her eyes with the back of her hand. Right now she didn't seem so much the bimbo I had thought her before, rather just a vulnerable woman who had been through a very traumatic experience. ***** We had talked for several more hours but made an effort not to mention the events of earlier today. By now the three of us were very tired, we all had been up for at least 36 hours straight and were in need of rest. The guest room was made up just as it always was and Alex showed Courtney where everything could be found. It wasn't really all that necessary, Courtney had stayed over here a number of times but Alex felt the need to assist her friend. While they were getting things sorted out in the guest room I made a tour of the house, checking to be certain all the doors were shut and locked as well as the windows with curtains closed. I didn't find any problems since the contractor who came to fix the front door had also done this exact same thing. I concluded the house was as safe as it could be at the moment and headed for my room. My pistol was there just where I had left it earlier and I gave it a quick check, making certain it would be ready for use just in case. I had helped Alex with hers, she didn't carry it nearly as often as I had mine and she spent far less time at the range but she was still proficient enough in its use that I didn't worry she wouldn't be able to defend herself or any of the rest of us. I didn't relish the idea of getting into a gun battle with unknown intruders, and even though I thought it extremely unlikely, I had to work hard to push the thoughts from my head. I was tired enough I knew I wouldn't have any trouble getting to sleep but I only hoped that my dreams would not be a replay of the earlier events. ***** I wasn't sure what time it was but suddenly something felt different. My senses went on high alert before I realized what was different. There was someone in the bed with me. I resisted the urge to jump up to defend myself, I didn't think I needed to. It only took half a second of thought to know who it was, there were only two others in the house besides me and I was pretty certain my sister wouldn't be here in bed with me although she had occasionally gotten into my bed when we were much younger and she had been frightened. "I hope you don't mind Travis, but I need to be close to someone." It was Courtney just as I had expected, her voice was soft and I thought I could detect a note of fear. "There's nothing to worry about here Courtney, the house is locked and we got things under control." I tried to reassure her but she was sliding even closer as I spoke. I felt her warm body move against me, she put her arm across my chest and pulled herself tight against me. I was tired and half asleep but it didn't take me long to realize she wasn't wearing anything. "Courtney, you're naked!" I said as the fact registered in my brain. "It didn't take you long to figure that out. I always sleep naked, I didn't even think about it when I came in here." She said, some of the fear seemed to have left her voice. "Are you sure you didn't think about it at least a little?" I asked, I was thinking back to Courtney lying naked near the pool yesterday afternoon. "No I didn't think about it before I came in here. And yes, that was a pretty lame come on yesterday wasn't it?" She giggled, she knew exactly what I was thinking about. Right now I was thinking about her naked body pressing tightly against my own, I worried that I might be showing signs of arousal if she didn't move away soon. She didn't give any indication she would, in fact she seemed to be trying to get even closer although I'm not sure how that would be possible. She found a way though, next thing I know she had slid herself half atop me. Her one breast was crushed on my chest and her leg was bent across my own crotch, exactly in the perfect spot to feel my cock starting to rise. She had her head on my shoulder and I could smell the scent of her shampoo as well as a faint whiff of perfume. I thought back to what Alex had told me last night at dinner, apparently Courtney had been waiting here for us to return and I assume I was the one she was most anxious to see. She had been wearing a nice dress this morning when we first found her, I guess she must have made herself up to be more appealing for me. "You know I was waiting for you last night, right?" She asked softly, she seemed to be almost reading my mind. "Yeah, Alex said something about that while we were at dinner." "Alex told me about how you were dressed, she thought you looked pretty hot in your suit, sounded that way to me too." Courtney continued. "Really?" I asked, wondering where this conversation was going. I was trying to occupy my mind, if I didn't other hormonal urges would be taking over and I might find myself dealing with something I didn't want to. "Really. She was telling all of us about you the entire evening." Courtney confessed. "That doesn't surprise me. The four of you seem to have something going on all the time. Do you know that she said you liked me and wanted to sleep with me?" I added the last without thinking too much, maybe I was trying to shock her a bit myself. "We all do Travis." Courtney answered with a giggle, she was starting to move her leg across my crotch which only intensified the feelings I was having down there. "You mean Lizzie and Ellen want to sleep with me as well?" I asked incredulously. "Alex too!" "What?! What do you mean Alex too?" I said excitedly, causing Courtney to stop moving against me. Travis's Tale Ch. 02 ***** It had been almost 2 months now since the excitement that had resulted from a group of environmental extremists trying to disrupt our company's business. Their plans to slow or stop the development of new sources of oil had failed, and according to Courtney's sources in the TBI, a number of them had been arrested. Still, some of their members had managed to remain anonymous but so far nothing had happened to indicate their actions would continue. Hopefully that would remain true, but I knew we still had to be vigilant. For now though, our life had returned to a normal routine although that routine had changed from what had been normal before things had gotten crazy. I had hired Courtney to work for the company, officially she held the title of security consultant although the title was ambiguous enough she had freedom to do a number of things. One of her duties, unknown to my sister, was to keep an eye on Alexis just in case we might still be targets. Courtney had tried resigning from the Texas Bureau of investigation, her former employer, but they had convinced her that enough of a threat still existed that she needed to continue with her assignment. To that end, they allowed her to take a leave of absence so she could move into her new position with our family business. Assuming things worked out for her, she still had intentions of resigning and working full-time for us but until that happened, she maintained a low profile as far as our relationship with the TBI was concerned. Besides our working relationship she had been a constant companion in my bed for the past two months, something we each found very rewarding. Courtney and Alex had been going into town to the office three days a week, each of them needed to become familiar with the family business. Although half owner, Alex had never really put any time or effort into learning exactly what was required to manage the business. Since Courtney didn't know a lot about the inner workings of the company either, each of them needed to put in the time to learn of the day-to-day activities. To this end, the three of us would go in to the office where they could become more versed in the operations. Normally I could do most of what I needed to do from the ranch but being in the office on a regular basis helped them more as they could immerse themselves with the people and normal activities. It was culture shock for Alex, she had been the typical party girl for the past five or six years. Courtney had been her constant companion although as part of her assignment to watch over Alex just in case something might happen. Fortunately for both of us, she had been there when the trouble started and had assisted in keeping us safe. Getting up early in the morning and dressing in reasonable business attire had been a change for Alex, but she and Courtney had adjusted and now after two months each had become more comfortable in her new role. The weather had been unusually hot here in mid-September, even by South Texas standards. Today was Friday and Alex had decided we would make it an early day today at the office. Her business education had been progressing nicely and it didn't bother me that she made such a decision, I don't think any of the other employees were complaining. The office was locked, the lights turned out and everyone had left shortly before 1 o'clock. We got on the road and headed back toward the ranch, the three of us in Alex's Lexus. I had replaced my Corvette but since it only had two seats, we normally commuted in her car. "You're going to be grilling steaks for us this afternoon Travis." Alex had made another executive decision. I didn't really mind, I had been doing more of the cooking for the three of us since Carmelita had not returned to her position as cook and housekeeper. She had been traumatized by the break-in two months ago and was still upset. I had talked to her a number of times and although she had not said so directly, I got the feeling she really didn't want to come back. I knew she was afraid and I had tried although gently, to reassure her but I don't think I had been able to convince her that nothing bad would happen again. I didn't hold it against her since I knew exactly what she was going through, the idea of people breaking into your house and shooting at you, weather in the car or in the house, was certainly something to be concerned about. We arrived at the ranch and had only just started to get settled when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Alex yelled, and even though my protective instinct flashed up a degree I knew I had to allow life to return to normal. "Look who's here guys!" Alex announced as Ellen and Liz entered. I got the feeling she knew who was there before she opened the door but that wasn't a problem, I had gotten to know both of her other friends better over the past two months. Before that time my opinion of them had not been the highest, but I also had not allowed myself to know them on a personal level either. Now, however, after the events of several months ago I had taken the time and discovered things about them I had not known before. The four women had all been pretty wild but I was surprised to learn that Liz ran her own company, she was a Certified Financial Planner and did investing and financial planning for a number of clients. She didn't have an office and did most of her work out of her own home. She was able to correspond with her clients via phone and email so didn't really have to be in a specific place at a specific time which allowed her the freedom to hang out with the other three of them on her own schedule. Apparently she was doing pretty well, she had a fair number of clients and a fairly substantial income. Ellen also surprised me, I found that she was an assistant professor of English at the local junior college. My original thoughts that she could have been a librarian weren't that far off although I never would've guessed just how close my original estimates of her employment were. She had her summers off and usually taught two or three classes a semester, giving her a lot of free time which enabled her to hang with the other three. I'm not sure how either of them would be viewed by clients or employers if her activities had been more public, but I think with Alex and Courtney settling down, each of them had her own epiphany. "I understand you're cooking steaks for us tonight Travis." Liz said as she entered, coming over and giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. Two months ago this would've been a complete shock, but she had done this several times in the recent past so it wasn't too much of a surprise. "Alex told me about it an hour ago, but it sounds as if the rest of you knew before me." I replied, but really it didn't bother me. "Alex tells us you've become a great chef." Ellen offered, once again giving me a glimpse into their world, a place I had not been privy to. "I'm glad she's telling someone, so far she hasn't said anything like that to me." I said with a grin, looking over at Alex to judge her reaction. I could see her turn slightly red, but she knew I was just busting on her. Besides, we had become closer over the past two months, spending more time together and talking more openly about things going on in our own lives although right now our lives intersected quite a bit. The four of them shooed me out of the kitchen for a few minutes as they scurried around, apparently whatever plans they had for this afternoon had been in the works for long enough they had everything nearly ready. After about 20 minutes I was informed the party was moving out to the pool, they had managed to whip up a batch of margaritas and I understood they had also put together everything for dinner but for the steaks I was expected to cook. "How's the new job coming Courtney?" Ellen asked her. She and Liz knew that Courtney had been hired by our company although Alex and I were the only two to know that her previous employer, the Texas Bureau of investigation, had assigned her to watch over us. We weren't planning to let anyone else in on her secret, as far as the others knew she had just been a spoiled, rich young woman who lived a life of leisure. "It's been a change and a challenge, but I'm enjoying it." Courtney offered, sitting back in her chair under the umbrella. The five of us were sitting around the table, each with a cold drink to ward off the heat of the mid-afternoon. It was a peaceful afternoon and I had to think that this was the kind of life I had always dreamed about. Here I was with my sister, my lover and two other hot young women. I tried to let that last bit go, even though they were very attractive I was finding they were also interesting as people. If someone had told me three months ago I would be thinking this about any of them, I would've thought that person crazy. We had been sitting here for better than an hour, each of us working on our second Margarita of the afternoon. Before we came out I had told each of them that their purses and other electronic devices would remain inside. I didn't want any interruptions, particularly the kind of social interaction that didn't require one person to actually see another. Maybe I was old-fashioned in that way, but I hated it when I had to deal with a text or email and then not have immediate response. Besides, this was to be a pleasant dinner among friends, we didn't need a lot of unnecessary interruptions. "The sun is starting to get into my eyes, you think you can move the umbrella Travis?" Ellen asked as the conversation slowed. "Why don't you just move over here a little bit Ellen, the sun isn't bothering me right now and I can move around the table a bit more." Liz offered to her friend. "It's not a problem if you want me to readjust the umbrella." I replied, it wasn't that difficult to do. "You don't have to Travis, I'll just move a bit." Ellen answered, standing to move her chair. Liz got up as well, moving behind Ellen's chair to help her slide it over. As she did so, Ellen stepped behind Liz and without warning Liz hip checked Ellen into the pool. The other three of us were shocked but Liz was standing there laughing uproariously as Ellen came to the surface sputtering and cursing at her friend. "You bitch! What did you do that for?" She managed to say as she was treading water. "Little ol me? I think you had too much to drink and just tripped." Liz answered, but she was having a tough time keeping a straight face. I wasn't sure what Ellen was going to do or say but before anything could happen, Alex was out of her seat in a flash and Liz followed her friend Ellen into the pool. "I think Liz had too many to drink as well." Alex said with a smug look on her face. Liz came up coughing and sputtering just as Ellen had a moment earlier. Ellen was laughing at her now, and Liz turned and started splashing her. "What are you laughing at?" She said in an exasperated tone. "That's what happens when you start acting like a smart ass." Ellen said with some small amount of satisfaction in her voice. Liz was still splashing at her but soon Ellen was splashing back. Before long each of them was laughing like a little school girl, the two of them looking like drowned rats. Both had been wearing business attire and still were. Their makeup had run down their faces in streaks and their hair which had previously been styled was now plastered to their faces. Alex was still standing by the side of the pool where she had pushed Liz in and I saw Courtney stand as she winked at me conspiratorially. I knew what was going to happen next and decided I would give her a hand, I quietly got to my own feet and the two of us came up behind Alex. "You're not that sneaky!" Alex said just before we got to her, whirling around to see us approaching. We had been busted but before I could say or do anything, I realized I had been the one who was set up. Courtney grabbed one of my arms and Alex the other and I was soon in the water with Ellen and Liz. The three of us must've been a real site, trying to tread water in our clothes and at the same time working on a plan for revenge. I think Alex and Courtney knew exactly what we were thinking because they looked at each other for a second and then the two of them each threw herself into the water to join us. There were five of us in the water, it was totally comical. Each of the women had been wearing a skirt and blouse, all dressed professionally. I had taken off my suit coat before we came out but I was still wearing a dress shirt and pants, along with boots. I knew Liz had been wearing heels but wasn't sure about the other women. Certainly Courtney wasn't, she was tall enough without them that I think she rarely wore heels but I wasn't certain about Alex or Ellen. Soon we were splashing and trying to dunk each other although moving around in the water fully clothed wasn't particularly graceful. The water felt good now, but after about 10 minutes of horseplay we decided it was probably time to get out. One by one we climbed the ladder and got out, finally the five of us were standing there dripping and still finding the entire situation completely hilarious. Alex poured another round of drinks from the pitcher which emptied it. We each had a full glass but that didn't last long, the tequila only adding to our enjoyment. Soon, however, standing there in wet clothes became more of a distraction than anything else. One by one the women started taking off their wet clothing, first blouses and skirts, then bras and panties until the four of them were naked. I had seen them like this before, but never quite this close up. Usually when I saw them they would be out here sunning themselves topless but right now none was wearing a thing. I started to get nervous when they began looking at me, each of them with a gleam in her eye. "It's your turn Travis. Either get out of them or you're going back into the water." Alex was the first to speak. I was a little surprised it would be her, I thought perhaps Courtney maybe but I knew Alex's words carried a certain authority with them. The first thing I needed to do was get my wet boots off, they were still filled with water and pulling them off wasn't as easy as they would have been dry. I sat in the chair and worked at them for a couple of minutes before they came off, a splash of water came out of each boot as I turned it over to empty it. "That's a start..." I heard Ellen say as I had finished getting the boots off. She had always seemed the more shy and quiet of the four, but sometimes she did surprise me. I stood and started unbuttoning my shirt, it was sticking to me. Once the buttons were undone I was able to pull the sleeves down and then get the rest of the shirt off of my shoulders. "Woo hoo!" Alex said as I tossed the shirt onto a chair. The pants came next, they too were sticking to me and it took a little bit of doing but soon I was standing there in my boxers, dripping and hoping there would be no excess of blood heading south as I looked at the four naked women expecting me to remove the last article of clothing. With a shrug, I did just that and pulled them down, kicking them away to stand naked with the other four. This is really bizarre I thought, I might've expected this type of behavior from the women several months ago, but never would've thought I would be part of it. "Well, now we know what you've been getting out of your new job Courtney." Liz kidded her friend. "I know what I'd be getting if he hired me." Ellen added, each of them was staring at my crotch. I was hoping desperately that my cock would remain flaccid, I didn't need to be sporting a Boner in front of these women. "Who's up for more drinks?" Alex asked, her words had broken several minutes of strained silence. "I am." Ellen was the first to answer, quickly followed by Liz and Courtney. "What about you Travis?" My sister asked me. "I guess I will if everybody else is..." I said, looking at the other women as they watched me. "If we're all in agreement, I'll go make another batch." Alex said, turning to walk back to the house completely naked, I couldn't detect a seconds hesitation in her action. "Everybody back in the pool!" Courtney announced, taking my hand and pulling me toward the side. I didn't have a chance to object before Ellen took my other hand and next thing I know the three of us were back in the water, Liz following very shortly behind. I hadn't been skinny dipping since I was a teenager, on a camping trip with several other friends in a lake. At that time, neither of the friends was a woman but now I had three female companions here in the pool with me and I was certain Alex would join us once she had finished putting the drinks together. Again I wondered about my sister, it was a little weird being naked with her but the number of times we had seen each other like this was growing. A quick flash of some of the improper thoughts I had had concerning her went through my mind, but I forced myself to forget them for now. We went back to splashing and dunking each other, now our movements were much easier since we had shed the clothes. Although I'm not sure any of it was intentional, as we continued our water play I would occasionally get a feel of a bare breast or someone would brush up against my own crotch, causing a quick tingle although fortunately nothing more. Perhaps it was the alcohol, but I was starting to enjoy myself and I realized something about the lifestyle these four women had been experiencing over the past few years. I knew they stepped over the line on occasion, but I think the adrenaline rush some of their activities gave them probably made up for their actions. It'd been 10 minutes since Alex had left to get the drinks, but I hadn't been paying attention to time. I heard a splash and realized she had returned to jump into the pool, now there were four naked women here with me. "There are drinks on the table whenever you're ready." Alex announced although none of us made an effort to get out to find one. Since she had been gone for several minutes, Alex now became the target and soon the four of us were splashing her, each of us making an attempt to dunk her under the water. She hadn't been a regular swimmer that I was aware of, but apparently she knew how. She dove underwater to avoid our attack and before I knew what was happening, she came up behind me and jumped on my back. Next thing I know I was going under as Alex held on tight. I could feel her bare breasts press into my back as I was sinking, I had managed to take a deep breath just before I went under. As we went down I was struggling to get away, in the process feeling her rubbing herself against me although I'm not sure that was her intention. Whether intentional or not, her breasts felt wonderful against my back and I realized this was the first time I had actually touched her like this. I knew it wasn't right, but at the same time I enjoyed it. After several seconds she let me go, sliding down across my back and just before she moved away from me, I felt her hand run across my cock. Again I wasn't certain it was intentional, but it was enough. That minor tingle that had started several minutes earlier now became more intense, I could feel myself starting to engorge and I didn't want that to happen. I came up from under the water and gulped in some air, I hadn't really been under that long but still the excitement of what had happened seemed to have taken the breath from me. I looked around to see where Alex had gone, she was on the other side of Courtney, hoping to use her friend as a buffer. My thought was to get her back but before that could happen, someone else jumped on my back and I was underwater again. I knew this wasn't Alex or Courtney, I had seen each of them just before I went under but was uncertain whether Liz or Ellen had been the one. Just as with Alex, I could feel bare breasts pressing into my back and based upon the size and feel, I knew it was Ellen. Liz had larger breasts but right now I wasn't too worried about differentiating between them, Ellen was actually rubbing herself against me in a way that I knew was more than just incidental. I wondered what she was trying to do, but at the same time I was under the water and decided it was about time I come up since I hadn't had a chance to take a deep breath of air before going under this time. I started twisting in an attempt to get her off of me which only caused her to hold on tighter and rub herself against me more vigorously. This was getting serious, not that I was in danger of running out of air, but that growing feeling below my waist was only getting stronger. When she finally decided to let me go, she also slid herself down across my back but this time there was no doubt about her actions, she wrapped her hand around my cock and gave it a couple of good squeezes before letting go. Travis's Tale Ch. 02 When I came up I took a deep breath of air and then looked for Ellen. She had followed Alex's lead, she too had placed Courtney between herself and me. She was laughing and had a shit eating grin on her face, I knew she was enjoying herself. I'm not sure if the others knew what she had done, but I wondered how long it would take her to spread the word. I wasn't sure where Liz and Alex were, again I could see Ellen and Courtney but I turned quickly to make certain I wasn't the target of another attack, and I think I managed to spoil Liz's plans. Despite being caught, she and Alex started advancing closer toward me. I was ready for them but someone tapped me on the shoulder. My concentration went from Alex and Liz to whomever had tried to get my attention and that was my undoing. As I turned my head, Liz launched herself at me and pushed me under. The difference between this attack was that she had jumped onto me from in front, not onto my back as the other two women had done. Now she was pushing down on my shoulders as my face was between her breasts. As I went under she grabbed me by the shoulders and started pushing her breasts hard against my face, wrapping her legs around my waist as we went under. I had to say she had some nice breasts, but this isn't exactly the way I wanted to enjoy them. In fact, before this happened I had no intention of enjoying them in any way whatsoever other than to see them displayed for me occasionally. I had to wonder if this entire thing had been planned but that would just be too much to expect. We were both underwater now and had been for several seconds, Liz continuing to push her chest into my face and wrap her legs tightly around my waist. With her in front of me, I could use my hands much more effectively and grabbed her waist and tried to push her away, but each time I pushed she pulled herself more tightly against me. By now my Boner was fully engorged, and right now it was sticking out directly beneath Liz's crotch, all she needed to do was slide down an inch or two and she would be completely aware of it. I could feel her rubbing her breasts back and forth across my face, I felt a nipple touch my lips several times and I had to force myself not to react, it would be very easy indeed for me to touch it with a tongue or suck it into my mouth. I had my eyes open and got a good view of her bare breasts, they were as nice close up as they had been every other time I saw them exposed to me. Thinking quickly, I wondered if she was ticklish and since my hands were on her waist, I started with her sides. Apparently she was, before I knew it she was thrashing about even more wildly, although now her legs had let go my waist and she was trying to stop my hands from moving against her sides. This allowed me to escape her grasp but at the same time as she slid down, my erection came right up between her legs, rubbing across her pussy lips and then up across her stomach before she pulled away far enough that we lost contact. I could almost hear her exclamation of surprise as she felt my hard organ run across her lower body. "Somebody sure was glad to see me!" She exclaimed as we both came to the surface. "I think we all need a drink!" My sister announced as Liz and I were catching our breath. "I'm with you Alex, come on let's everybody get out." Ellen echoed Alex's sentiments. I could see Courtney standing off to the side with a smirk on her face, she hadn't participated directly but I think she was pretty much aware of everything that had happened. She seemed amused by it and I thought I would be talking to her about it sometime later tonight. "I think I'll stay here for a few more minutes." I said, I knew it would take a while for my erection to disappear. "Oh no, you have to get out so you can cook for us." Courtney finally said something. I turned to look at her but she had this innocent expression on her face, something she tried to maintain but couldn't. Her eyes were sparkling and she was trying with all of her might not to laugh. "Out of the pool Travis, we all know you have a hard-on." Alex was behind me and pushing me toward the ladder. "If I do, it's only because of you four..." I managed to say, I couldn't think of anything else. "And your point is?" Ellen asked innocently. "The four of you are evil, every one of you." I said as solemnly as I could, climbing the ladder and slowly allowing my erection to come into complete view. As I did so, the four of them started to hoot and holler which only made me turn red. I had thoughts of sliding back into the water, but by now there didn't seem to be any point. I went over to the table and got my glass, filled it with a fresh margarita and swallowed it down in a single gulp. If I was going to be here with these four women, I was going to need a few more. ***** "Don't you dare put that shirt on!" Courtney commanded as I was pulling a T-shirt over my head. I turned to look at her, she had followed me into the house and apparently so had the others, all four of them were standing there with arms crossed underneath their breasts, just daring me to disobey Courtney. We had all taken several minutes to calm and dry after getting out of the pool, each of the women busting on me about my state of arousal. I couldn't help it, there had been four naked women in the pool with me and three of them had done their best to tease me to the point that my cock had no choice but to become fully engorged. After several minutes of gentle kidding and another round of margaritas, the women had started sorting through and picking up their discarded bits of clothing. Some had been thrown across chairs and others just dropped onto the ground beside the pool. I quickly picked up my own shirt, pants and boxers before going toward the house. I went into my room and pulled on a pair of gym shorts and grabbed a T-shirt with the intention of putting it on too, but that didn't happen. As I watched the women watching me, I shrugged my shoulders and tossed the shirt onto a chair, going into the kitchen to look for the stakes that I would be cooking on the grill shortly. As I was puttering around in the kitchen the other women took off in various directions, Courtney and Alex to bedrooms and Liz went out the front door naked to her car. She returned shortly with her beach bag and another for Ellen, each of them digging in the bags and pulling out the bottom half of a bikini. Soon all four women were wearing their bottoms but none had done anything about covering bare breasts. I shouldn't complain, in fact I'm not, this is pretty much the way they dressed when hanging around out back. I found the stakes in the fridge, they had been marinating for some time, I wasn't certain how long but apparently the women had been planning this evening for long enough to make preparations ahead of time. I took them out and set them on the counter to give them a chance to warm up a bit, I then went outside and got the fire in the grill started. It didn't take long before the grill was hot enough, and soon the meat was sizzling as I tended to the steaks. The women had come out and were seated at the table, chatting about who knows what as they watched me and waited in anticipation for dinner. When I gave them the five-minute signal they all got up and went into the house, returning shortly with plates and silverware, various accompaniments to the stake and yes, another round of margaritas. We had a nice dinner and sat around talking and drinking until late, the sun had long since disappeared although in mid-September it didn't stay up nearly as long as I would've liked. Everyone helped with the cleanup and soon we were back inside, the afternoon and evening had been very pleasant. The alcohol had made me tired and I saw several of the others trying to suppress yawns as we sat but there really wasn't much to talk about. "You two are staying over tonight, there's no way you're driving home." I announced to Liz and Ellen, each had consumed far too many drinks to be safe behind the wheel of a car. "We know that Travis, neither one of us would ever consider driving impaired. Thanks for the offer." Ellen answered in response to my proclamation. "Alright you two, you each know where the guest room is. I'm ready for bed and I think the others are too. Unless you're planning to stay up all night I suggest you go in and we all try to get some sleep." Alex was acting motherly for some reason but it seemed to be appropriate. Everyone went to bedrooms, Liz and Ellen to the guest room, Alex to hers and I followed Courtney into ours. She had been living and sleeping with me long enough that I no longer considered the room just mine, I wasn't certain how much longer she would be around but for the time being we enjoyed each other's company. Courtney had always slept naked she had told me, and since she had been a companion in my bed I had started doing the same. Lying there next to her and feeling her warmth against me, I was glad I had taken the time to get to know her better. "Did you have a good time today?" She asked as she was lying next to me, rubbing her hand across my chest. "It was a little strange, but yes I did have a good time." I answered, before today I had never thought I would ever become involved in some of the Wilder things these ladies seemed to do regularly. "I think the others enjoyed having you with us, we've all wondered just how much fun you might be." "How so?" I wondered. "Don't tell me you didn't enjoy those women rubbing themselves across you in the pool? It was pretty easy to tell you were enjoying every second of it." Courtney laughed in response to my words. "What can I say, I'm only human. Was this whole thing all planned?" I asked her. "We planned to get together, I'll admit that but nothing beyond the five of us having a nice afternoon with the others. I know that since the problems a couple of months ago that the four of us have kind of settled down some. Maybe it's time to reevaluate our lifestyle or maybe it was just natural that we've worked all of that behavior out of ourselves but for whatever the reason I think today we just needed some sort of way to blow off some steam. I think you take life much too seriously as well, I think being with us this afternoon has done a lot for you." Courtney was being thoughtful, I listened to what she was saying and realized she was probably right. "So do you think something like this needs to happen regularly?" I kidded her. "You never know..." She said, then rolled over on top of me, silencing any further words by placing her lips on my own. I was ready to stop talking anyway, it was time for a little action and we didn't need to speak in order to do that. Courtney was rubbing herself across me, her breasts on my own chest and her crotch across my hard cock. She seemed even more active tonight than other nights, although she was always a very willing participant in any lovemaking we engaged in. Perhaps the drinks had done it or the fooling around in the pool, but right now she seemed particularly horny and was well on her way to bringing my cock to full erection. She never had any trouble doing this, and tonight was no different. Before long I could feel her rubbing her quickly lubricating labia across my cock which was trapped between our crotches, she was doing a marvelous job of making it not only hard but wet as well. Courtney pushed up off my torso, soon she was sitting atop my cock and as I lay there enjoying the feel, she held it in one hand and raised herself above it and soon she was impaled. She felt just as good tonight as she always did, she had some amazing muscle control and was doing some wonderful things to my cock with her internal pussy muscles. As she squeezed and massaged, she started rocking slowly and just teasing me. "Did you hear that?" I asked softly, I thought I heard a noise from outside the bedroom. "I didn't hear anything, I'm too busy here to pay attention to much else." Courtney said in response, but she did stop moving as we each listened carefully. "There it is again. Did you hear it?" I said, something that sounded like moans had come from outside of the bedroom. "Yeah, I heard it." Courtney said, returning to her earlier actions and sliding herself up and down my cock a few times before resuming the gentle rocking she had been engaged in a moment earlier. "You heard it? What is it?" I wondered. "Don't worry about it." Courtney said simply, now starting to get more active. I wasn't sure what I had heard and I was wondering why Courtney was telling me to ignore it, right now I was facing a quandary. I was curious what I was hearing but at the same time the heat that was building between our joined crotches was definitely something to pay attention to. I was trying to do both, thrusting up into Courtney's welcoming pussy but at the same time trying to listen to what I might hear. There it was again, I heard it more clearly this time and suddenly I knew. "Are you telling me Liz and Ellen are batting for the other team?" I said to Courtney and I couldn't believe what I had heard "I'm riding your cock and you're paying attention to what's going on across the hall?" Courtney was laughing again. "You're right, forget I said anything." I answered, I knew she was right and at the same time I was trying to push the images of the other two women out of my head. I decided to put more effort into what Courtney and I were doing, I reached up and found her tits, squeezing the firm flesh and teasing the nipples which were already hard and pointed. "If it makes you feel any better, you might think of them as switch hitters." Courtney added before devoting all of her attention to what she was doing to my cock. She continued to ride, starting to move faster and slide up higher before coming down hard. I could feel the wetness of her pussy as it started running down my cock and coating my balls, Courtney always produced plenty of her lubrication and we never had problems when I entered her. She was moaning with the sensation and I could feel my own arousal building, there was a tingle in my balls and a heat growing within my loins. I knew it wouldn't be long and the way Courtney had started shuddering atop me I knew she was getting close to her own release as well. I knew Courtney was there, I could feel the convulsions starting deep within her that soon traveled throughout the rest of her body, she was shuddering and shaking atop me and had stopped sliding altogether. I was right behind her, I forced myself up into her as hard and deep as I could, several times until I too was blasting a load of hot viscous liquid deep into her womb. Courtney was never one to mute her ecstasy, everyone in the house heard the orgasmic scream as she reached the peak of her climax. She fell down atop me, she was breathing hard just as I was. We were each perspiring profusely, I was rubbing her back as she was trying to catch her breath. I could feel the heat of her body as she lay atop me, I marveled at her feel as I held her close and helped her to calm herself. As we lay there I realized the moaning from across the Hall had ceased, I could hear some giggling coming from the other room and then shortly afterward, a few sighs and moans again became apparent. I guess they knew what was going on in this room. I held Courtney for several minutes, each of us needed the time to regain strength and breath. She was still lying atop me, my cock had started wilting but barely so as we lay together. "That was amazing." She said softly into my ear, she was nibbling on the lobe and tonguing my ear as she lay across me. "With you, it always is." I said sincerely, it was true. "You say the nicest things to me Travis." She answered, moving up to give me a soft kiss on my lips. Perhaps it was the sexual nature of our water play today or the fact that there had been four naked and semi naked women with me all afternoon but for whatever the reason I decided I wasn't through for the night. Without pulling out of Courtney, I rolled us over until I was atop her, it didn't take her long to realize what I had planned. "All those drinks and you can still go again?" She asked, I could hear the chuckle in her voice. I didn't say anything, I simply reached back with my hands and placing one under each of her thighs, lifted her legs until they were resting on my shoulders. At that point her ass was up in the air slightly and it wasn't difficult for me to get a good angle and I pulled back and then shoved in hard. One quick thrust was all it took and my cock was at full strength once again. With a woman like Courtney, it didn't take much to bring me back to life and now I was going to do my best to get us both off again. I had started off slowly but soon the pace quickened, I was pushing in harder and faster and Courtney was doing her best to thrust back to meet each of my thrusts. She was grunting and groaning, loudly enough that anyone in the house had to know what we were doing. Not that we were trying to keep it a secret, that would've been a total waste of time since everyone knew we had been sleeping together for several months. As I was pounding into her, I again heard it between Courtney's grunts, the moans and sighs I had noticed earlier. Now however, I thought I heard something that I had not heard the first time. Yes, it was a moan but the sound was different somehow. As I was sliding my hard cock into Courtney's sloppy pussy, suddenly it came to me. The voice was that of my sister Alex. Alex was in the guest room with the other two women. I had never imagined that she might like women, after all I had seen her with several guys in the past but this was totally crazy. As I continued slamming myself into Courtney, the only thing I could think of was Alex with her face between Liz's legs and Ellen doing the same to Alex, eating her pussy as the three of them pleasured each other. As these thoughts filled my mind, my cock suddenly expanded beyond what I had ever known before and soon I was filling Courtney yet again, the hot liquid pouring out in torrents that felt more copious than the first time. Courtney felt the hot liquid blasting into her depths, and she also felt me increase my pace yet again. I didn't know how that was possible, but it was enough to push her over her own edge, soon she was screaming her orgasm yet again as I filled her for the second time tonight. Just as last time, I thought I heard the voices in the other room slow and listen and then giggling, this time three voices. I tried to push the thoughts away, I had a beautiful woman lying under me, my cock still buried deep inside of her and I knew this wouldn't be the last time. ***** No one got up before 10 o'clock the next morning, I attributed most of it to the alcohol we had consumed yesterday afternoon and evening although the night's activities might have been a contributing factor as well. Once everyone had stumbled into the kitchen, Courtney made coffee as the rest of the women sat around and decided what to do. Just as yesterday, Courtney had forbade me to put on a shirt but I fit right in, none of the women was wearing anything but the bottom half of a bikini. Over the years I had gotten used to seeing their bare breasts so this was normal, but to say it didn't affect me would be a total lie. Yesterday in the pool had given me a chance to feel each of them, although only as the women rubbed them across my body, teasing me in the pool. I don't know how they would've reacted if I had tried to grab their breasts but I got the feeling that any one of them would've enjoyed it. I tried to forget that, Courtney was here with me and she was more than enough as far as I was concerned. Between the five of us we managed to put together some eggs and sausage, Ellen even succeeded in cooking some pancakes for us. After everyone's belly was completely filled, the women headed out back to hang out near the pool, just as they had done many times in the past. I took the time to clean up the kitchen just as I had been doing regularly since Carmelita had gone to her sisters, but I really didn't mind. Someone had to do it and Courtney and Alex had been taking their own turns, although my turn seemed to come up much more often than theirs for some reason. After I finished I went outside with the women, I don't know why but there wasn't a lot to do in the house unless I was to start on some business tasks and I really didn't want to. The rest of the weekend passed like this, nothing serious going on. Ellen and Liz had decided to stay over again so didn't leave until Sunday evening. There had been time in the pool and out, we laughed and joked and drank but no more skinny dipping. Maybe Friday afternoon had gotten it out of everyone's system, but the fact that not one of the women wore anything but the bottoms of her bikini the entire weekend didn't seem out of the ordinary at all anymore. Travis's Tale Ch. 02 ***** "I'm going to have to go to Dallas for three days next week." Courtney had informed me on Thursday. Thursday wasn't one of the days we went into town to the office so she, Alex and I were home, even though I was trying to get some things done in my office. "What for?" I wondered. "It's a work thing. Not your work, but the Bureau." She stuttered a bit, I think she had almost forgotten that technically she was only on a leave of absence from the TBI. "So what do you have to do?" Alex had joined in the conversation. "It's a bunch of stupid stuff. I wish I didn't have to go." She had said matter of factly. "You sound just like Alex does every time I tell her we have to go get a summary of the past year's business from Lewis." I chuckled. "I don't really sound that whiny do I?" Alex said with a grin. "Up yours!." Courtney said with a laugh. "Really, what do you have to do in Dallas?" I asked her. "Like I said, it's a bunch of stupid stuff. I have to qualify on the range and I have to take a physical and a drug test. Then there's going to be debriefing about what went on two months ago and any changes there might be and anything I might need to be aware of. It's a lot of bureaucracy and I hate it." "It's all part of the job I guess." Alex had said, still smiling at Courtney's discomfort. "I'll remember that next time you have to go in to see Lewis and have him fill your head with facts and figures for an hour or two." "You're probably going to be at the next meeting yourself Courtney." I reminded her, she was now technically one of our employees and I thought it appropriate that she learned some of the inner workings of the company. "Aww shit!" she muttered as Alex and I each laughed. It was Monday morning and Courtney had left for Dallas early, she had taken Alex's Lexus. It was almost a six hour drive and she had no car, the one she had been driving for the past two years had been part of her cover from the TBI and now that the assignment was over, anything associated with that cover was gone. "I don't even own a car anymore." She had complained as she asked Alex to borrow her car. "Don't worry about it, you're welcome to take mine. One of these days we'll go into town and find something for you." Alex had reassured her. "I'm going to miss you, I know it's only three days but it's going to be a long three days." I had told her before giving her a long kiss. "He's not the only one Cort, I'll miss you too." Alex added, giving her friend a tight hug. We had watched her drive away, it felt sad but then I knew she would be back before much longer. I was in my swim trunks and just ready to go out the back door to the pool and get in my laps when Alex came out of her room in her own suit. I was surprised, she was actually wearing a top with it today. "Mind if I join you in the pool?" She asked. "It's your pool too, I guess I've just never seen you in it very much." I said, she hadn't really spent much time in it since we were younger. "Yeah, I think I got out of the habit but I'd like to get back and start swimming again." She said, opening the door and walking out. I followed her to the pool and we each jumped in, the water felt good this morning. I knew it wouldn't be much longer before the weather got too cool to spend time out here so I was going to take advantage for as long as I could. I started doing my laps and watched as Alex tried to emulate me although she gave up before I had done half of what I planned to do myself. She got out of the pool and sat in one of the chairs, watching me as I continued swimming. Maybe 15 minutes later I had done all of my laps and got out as well, I sat down beside her to catch my breath. "I really miss them you know." Alex started. "Who? Courtney? Liz and Ellen?" I asked her in reply. "No, mom and dad." She said softly. I hadn't even thought about that, I missed them as well but I didn't think about them as often as I used to. I guess Alex must think about them more regularly, the question had surprised me. "I miss them too Alex, it's a lot different without them here." I expected she would be crying but she wasn't, although I didn't think she was far from it either. We sat there in silence for several more minutes, each of us looking into our minds and remembering different parts of our lives when our parents had been there for us. "I'm going to get a shower, I need to rinse the chlorine off me." I announced to Alex as I stood and walked toward the pool house. She got up and walked behind me, following me inside. I went to the shower and stripped off my trunks and then turned on the water and was surprised when the door opened behind me, Alex had taken off her suit already when she got in with me. "Alex?" "I've got chlorine on me too, I need to wash it off." Was her simple answer. I shrugged my shoulders, I had seen her naked many times before but this was a bit different. It was even more different when she hugged me, pulling herself tight against me. "Thanks for being here for me Travis. I know you've done a lot over the years and I may not have said it enough, but I do appreciate it." "It's what big brothers are for sis." I tried making light of it, but she was still holding onto me tightly and I could feel her bare breasts crushed between us, she was still pulling herself against me. "I know that, but I think you've probably done more than what most brothers would have. I just wanted to say thank you." She said softly, lifting up her face to kiss me on the cheek. "You're welcome Alex, you're always welcome." I said as I wrapped my arms around her and returned her hug. Alex continued to hold me longer than I would've expected, it certainly was a little more than a brief thank you hug should've taken. "Hey Travis, how's it going this morning?" JoAnn's voice interrupted us as she opened the door. "Oops! Sorry Travis, I didn't realize you had someone here with you." JoAnn said, her face had gotten very red. "Morning Jo. This is..." "Alex." My sister added before I could finish. She reached out her hand to JoAnn who took it cautiously. I think she was still embarrassed about finding us here, but Alex didn't seem to be bothered in the least. "I'll just get to work." JoAnn said, starting to back out. "You don't have to, I know how much Travis enjoys your visits with him." Alex said with a wink, she hadn't let go of JoAnn's hand and was pulling her back in. "You were here a couple of months ago weren't you?" JoAnn said to Alex, recognizing her as one of the women who had been here with me when she and Courtney had shared my cock. "Yeah, I was here that time that you and Travis's girlfriend took care of him." Alex confirmed. "Are you sure you don't mind?" JoAnn asked, she was still a little nervous. "Not at all. Here, let me help." Alex said, and then she totally surprised me as she reached out with her other hand and wrapped it around my cock. She started stroking and it didn't take long, I was already slightly aroused from our hug and now that slight arousal became much more pronounced. Soon my cock was rock hard and pointing upward, Alex still stroking me as JoAnn watched hungrily. "I think he's ready JoAnn, he's all yours." Alex said, letting go my cock and taking a step back to give JoAnn room. JoAnn didn't need any more coaxing, she dropped to her knees in front of me and took my cock into her hand, looking up at me and then over to Alex before looking back at me. She took me into her mouth and gave a few gentle licks and sucks on the head, but then pulled off "I know you want some of this too honey, but you need to come down here with me." JoAnn said to Alex, wrapping an arm around Alex's waist and pulling her down to the ground. Alex didn't resist, next thing I know she was kneeling beside JoAnn as I stood in front of them, my hard cock pulsing and throbbing as JoAnn continued to hold it. She didn't hold it for long, she nudged Alex and next thing I knew she and Alex had swapped it between them, Alex had her hand around it and my cock head disappeared into my sister's mouth. Her actions totally surprised me but the feel of her lips and tongue on my cock was so amazing I had to forget anything but what I was experiencing below my waist. I looked down and saw Alex looking back at me, looking into my eyes to gauge my reaction. She was slowly sucking me into her mouth and then pulling back, doing marvelous things to the underside of my cock with her tongue. I could see her eyes sparkling, and except for the fact that her mouth was filled with my hard shaft, I guessed I would see her smiling up at me. Bizarre! I couldn't think about it too much longer, Alex pulled off and JoAnn took her turn, she too had wrapped her lips around my cock and as she took Alex's place, I could hardly tell the difference between the two. Of course the fact that my sister had been sucking my cock had added to the feel, I'm sure a lot of it had to do with some of the improper thoughts I had been thinking about her over the past months but right now all I knew is that two beautiful women were sharing my cock here in the shower. JoAnn had been watching me for reaction too, I think she was still a little concerned about finding me in the shower with another woman but that soon left, she was sucking me just as expertly as she ever had. JoAnn let me go, pointing my cock over toward Alex who eagerly took her turn. She swallowed me expertly, I had no doubt in my mind that she had done this before. I know she had been wild and I had seen some of that wildness over the years, but I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised by what she was doing. She was 25 and had been on her own for quite a while when a brief thought crossed my mind that perhaps I should have taken more control over her life but then I realized it was her life to live and I couldn't dictate what she did or didn't do. Right now what she was doing was driving me crazy, I could feel her flattening her tongue against the underside of my cock as she slid it in and out of her mouth, she was watching me as I watched her and I was confident she enjoyed every minute of what she was doing to me. She and JoAnn continued to swap back and forth, each of them taking me into her mouth for a minute or two before giving me up and allowing the other to take a turn again. I knew I couldn't take much more of this, not only the feel but the thought that this was my own sister doing this to me had me on the edge as I fought hard to postpone my climax, I really wanted to enjoy the feel of each of them for as long as possible. I knew that couldn't happen, having two beautiful women blowing me in the shower was just too much of a turn on not to let go. JoAnn felt it first, I was in her mouth and she could feel the swelling, the head nearly ready to burst as my semen was racing up through my cock, looking for an exit. "Here he comes Alex, where do you want it?" JoAnn said as she pulled me out of her mouth. Without a word, Alex grabbed my cock and pointed it toward her own face, sucking me into her mouth for a quick slurp all the way down and then she pulled back to the head, sucking furiously as I exploded. She took several shots and swallowed before allowing my cock to pull out and then she aimed the few last dribbles over toward JoAnn who moved in close and allowed them to splatter across her chest. Alex was looking at me for my reaction but I really had none, I had lost my ability to speak and could only stare down and wonder what she had done. I looked at JoAnn who was looking between the two of us, a smile on her face as she started toying with the goo that had coated her tits, playing with the sticky fluid as it started running down her chest. I reached down and helped each to her feet, soon the three of us were rinsing off under the water that had continued to run. I helped JoAnn rinse my cream off of her breasts by rubbing them vigorously but since Alex had none on her, I didn't offer her the same service. "You forgot something Travis." Alex said with a grin. "What's that Alex?" I wondered, Alex was looking at me and grinning evilly. "You need to help me rinse off my tits." She said calmly, looking directly into my eyes. "You really don't need it, but if you insist..." I added, not certain exactly what she was expecting but I ran my hands over her bare breasts for the first time, feeling their heft and their firmness as she sighed softly. The thoughts of continuing to do this ran through my head but I decided it probably would be better to let those thoughts go, we had already crossed more than a few boundaries and I wasn't sure how much further things might go if I continued. JoAnn watched as we kept up our play, I don't think she knew Alex was my sister and I wasn't going to tell her. "Will I see you here again?" JoAnn asked as she started to leave the shower, she had directed her question to Alex. "Probably." Was all Alex said as JoAnn closed the door behind her. She left the two of us standing naked in the shower, I wondered what was next. Alex reached up and kissed me on the cheek again, whispering "thanks." In my ear before turning off the water so we could get out. It had been a strange experience to say the least but I wasn't sure how I felt about what had just happened. I would certainly need to give it some thought. ***** "You have everything packed?" I asked Alex, it was the first thing I had said to her since our encounter in the shower an hour earlier. "I don't think I'll need much, but yeah I got a bag packed." She answered. With Courtney away in Dallas for three days, I had decided to take Alex to see the herd. My father had diversified his holdings a number of years ago and we ran about 12,000 head of cattle on the southern part of our property. She had never been there to see what went on and it'd been better than a year since I had been down there myself. I thought it a good chance to give her more experience with different parts of the business. There really wasn't a lot involved in managing this part but still, it was something she needed to be aware of and possibly be involved in at some point in the future. "This might sound a little weird Travis but how would you like to ride in?" Alex asked as we were driving down the back roads in the pickup. "What do you mean ride in?" I wondered. "On horses. Remember when we were younger and dad used to take us hunting and camping with him? How about if we stop and pick up some horses and take the final few miles on horseback and then we can ride out the next day??" "I think that might be fun. It's been a while since either one of us has been on horseback, you think you still remember how?" She said, I knew she was busting on me. "I can manage, can you?" I knew she was never going to admit that she couldn't and I didn't think she would have any trouble but I still had to bust on her for it. "I'll be on my horse a long time after you've fallen off of yours." She answered with a laugh, we were starting to loosen up. I still had thoughts in the back of my head about what we had done earlier this morning, but apparently it wasn't bothering Alex or at least not enough to get in the way of us having a normal conversation as we drove. We had been in the truck for about three hours when we got to the ranch of one of my father's friends, Eli. Eli was an old Indian who made his living catching wild horses on the range and breaking them and then selling them. I hadn't seen him for several years, but had always liked him when our father was still alive and we would see him a few times a year. "Eli, how are you?" I said as I got out of the truck, he was a tall man with a big smile on his face as he saw us approaching. "You two can't be Travis and Alexis!" He said, it had been a while. "Yes, it's us." I answered, but Alex rushed toward him to give him a hug. "And what brings you to my little ranch?" He asked after greetings had been given all around. "Alex and I are going to inspect the herd and we would like to borrow some horses. Is that possible?" I asked, I knew it wouldn't be a problem but the polite thing to do was to ask the question anyway. "You're welcome to anything I have Travis. How long will you need them?" "I'm thinking two, maybe three days. Will that be a problem?" "No problem at all. I'll find you two good horses and we can get you fixed up with anything else you might need. How does that sound?" I knew we would need supplies and hadn't thought about it too much but really there wasn't that much to worry about for just a couple of days. I knew he would have everything we needed, he was pretty much self-sufficient on his ranch and could take care of himself or any others if need be. ***** Eli found two mares for us. There was a smaller one for Alex and the larger one was mine. Each was dark brown but Alex's had a white blaze across her forehead. Besides that, except for the size they could've been twins. Eli guaranteed me they were each good horses and we wouldn't have a bit of trouble with them, something I was completely certain of. Eli knew his horses and if he said they were good, that was enough for me. We hadn't expected to be on horseback when we first left our ranch so we ended up taking about half of the things we had each packed into our own bags to put into the saddlebags that would be with us on the horses. We got food and water for ourselves and the horses from Eli along with some bed rolls. We didn't need a lot for two days on the plains and didn't want to be loaded down with a lot of unnecessary stuff. Eli looked surprised when I strapped on my holster but said nothing, he understood life on the range. I did too, but my more immediate concern was being able to protect us against those crazies if they might be nearby somehow. Neither of us had been on a horse for several years but we quickly got re-accustomed. We had ridden enough in our youth that we each were confident in our abilities, and as Eli had promised, the horses were well trained and suited to our riding styles. The temperature was close to 80 when we left, not truly hot but warm enough that we would be comfortable during our ride. If we had continued our journey in the truck, we probably could've made the base camp within an hour but once on horseback, it took us almost 4 to reach our destination. We stopped once about halfway, we didn't want to push the horses too hard and with the heat we and they each needed water. We found a stream running among some trees, the horses appreciated both the shade and the cool water. Alex and I had water in our canteens, we each made certain to drink enough since we did not want to become dehydrated. ***** It was almost 5 in the afternoon when we reached the base camp. You might think back to John Wayne or Clint Eastwood herding cattle from old movies, but this was anything but. The drovers used dirt bikes and four-wheel ATVs to get around and herd the cattle, even though there were horses available if necessary. The old-fashioned chuck wagon was actually a well equipped Winnebago. There were two other full sized RVs parked alongside, this is where the hands slept as well as entertaining themselves while not out with the cattle. Each one was equipped with a large screen TV and a satellite on the roof for entertainment. They could also use satellite telephone as well as Internet access. It was a lot more modern than things had been 100 years ago, but that also meant it was more efficient to manage. "It's been a long time Travis." The greeting came from Butch, he was the trail boss here. "Probably too long, but I thought we would come out and see how things are coming along." I answered, reaching to shake his hand. "Looks to me more like a pleasure trip." He said with a smile, checking out Alex as she stood beside me, waiting to be introduced. I didn't think Alex liked his tone, but before she could say anything I decided I probably ought to let him know. Travis's Tale Ch. 03 I was playing greeter today, answering the door and taking jackets and coats from our guests as they arrived. Christmas had been two days ago but we had celebrated it by ourselves, just the family. My sister Alexis and I were the only two blood relatives but since Courtney had been spending time in my bed for the past few months, we each considered her family as well. She had been like a sister to Alex ever since the two had been roommates in college and that friendship continued. Today was Saturday and since Monday would be Alex's 26th birthday, we had decided to invite a few friends over for a small get together. Ellen and Lizzie had arrived early, the two of them along with Alex and Courtney had been fast friends for a number of years and they were regular guests here. They were helping to get things ready although there really wasn't much that needed to be done. We would have a meal a little later although I had hired a caterer to take care of all of the preparation and serving so there really wasn't a lot for us to do. The next to arrive were Lewis and his wife. Lewis, or Uncle Lou, as we called him had been one of my father's oldest friends and had done quite a bit to help us through the difficulty of our parents' death. He still took care of some of the administrative details of our family business but was less involved as Alex and I had started taking on more of those duties ourselves. Our parents' will had stipulated we each would receive half of their assets in the event of their death but at the time Alex turned 25, the age stipulated in the trust agreement, neither Lewis nor I felt she was mature enough to be given full rights to her half. It probably was wrong but since we never explained it to her, she never questioned any of the decisions and there had not been any problems because of that. Over the past few months however, she had undergone a remarkable transformation into a more responsible person and had become more actively involved in the company. I was glad to see that, not that I needed help managing the company, but I hated to see her waste her life on the frivolous and outrageous behaviors she had shown up until that point. The Bell rang again, I left the conversation I was having with Lizzie and went to the door to see who would be arriving next. As I opened it, I saw it was my old friend Pete, otherwise known as Detective Fuentes. As I was greeting him JoAnn and her husband walked up behind him. "Hi Travis. Thanks for inviting us, I don't think you've met my husband Wayne." JoAnn said as she gave me a quick hug and a brush of her cheek across my own. She stepped back which allowed the man with her to take a step closer, extending his hand to mine. I shook it and introduced myself. "I'm glad you were able to come Wayne, I'm Travis." "JoAnn has told me a lot about you, she said you really helped her get her business started. She probably would never tell you this but things were going quite slowly for her until people found out someone like you had been willing to give her a chance." Wayne offered with a smile. I saw JoAnn give him a discrete elbow to the ribs, I could see a light blush form on her face. "JoAnn does a great job, I'm glad I made the decision." I answered, I really didn't want to embarrass her anymore. I had been paying her for the past three months now even though she had not been servicing the pool. As the weather was turning cooler she told me it was time to winterize and close it for the season so I wouldn't need her services until the spring. The first month I sent her a check, she sent it back saying she had done nothing to deserve it but I insisted that I continue paying her. "I don't want you to find other customers and not be able to take care of my pool." I had said in jest, although that's really the way I felt about her. "You know I wouldn't do a thing like that Travis." She had objected but in the end I convinced her that the money was more a retainer than payment for services rendered. I took coats and hung them up in the closet as the most recent guests moved into the house, there was light music playing in the background and the guests were starting to mingle and speak among themselves. As I was surveying the room I heard another car door outside. Most of the people we had invited had arrived and then I thought of Carmelita. She had been our housekeeper and cook, but had not returned to work after being traumatized during the break-in. The Bell rang and I went to answer the door, I was happy to see her as she greeted me with a big smile and a hug. I was surprised to see her sister with her although it did not bother me. I had met her sister a few times and Carmelita had been living with her for the past few months, she really had nowhere to live since her employment with us had included her own room in the house. I wasn't certain what she was doing since leaving our employ but that would be something to talk about later if she felt comfortable discussing the matter. The only person who had not yet arrived was George, he had been seeing Alex for the past two months. I knew he wouldn't come, the two of them had only recently broken up. He was some sort of mid-level executive with the Texas Department of energy, someone Alex had met through business. The two of them had started seeing each other and he had even stayed over a few nights, Courtney and I hearing the two of them going at it in Alex's room which is right next to ours. He had seemed nice enough but there was something about him I couldn't put my finger on. I attributed it to the fact he was a bureaucrat, someone who could use his authority to affect our oil drilling business, either for the good or bad. We did everything by the book but sometimes you can never tell which way the political winds blow and perhaps that's what colored my opinion of him. ***** "Travis, I'd like to talk to you about something." Alex had asked me several weeks ago. "Sure sis, what can I do for you?" It wasn't unusual for her to ask me questions, we had become very close and even more so in the past few months. "It's something personal and I'd like to do it away from here. How about if we go for a ride?" She had asked. I was a little surprised at the request, there was plenty of privacy available around with only Courtney who might possibly hear anything she had to say. Of course I wasn't certain what her concern was but I didn't think she had any secrets from Courtney either. I wasn't going to argue, if she wanted to go somewhere and have a private talk with me why not. "Where would you like to go?" I asked. "I don't know, let's just get in the truck and drive. Oh, don't worry about Courtney, I already talked to her and I just want to get your opinion without anyone else around." I was surprised she had spoken to Courtney already, although I don't know why I should be. The two of them had been close for quite a while and I didn't have any problem with them discussing issues each might have. "Anything special we'll need?" I asked, she hadn't given me any clues other than she just wanted to drive. "It's warm enough we shouldn't need a jacket or anything, other than that just some time and enough money to cover the cost of lunch." She chuckled, having enough money to pay for lunch had never been an issue. "You say the word, I'm ready whenever you are." We got in the truck and started driving, Alex telling me to pick a direction although nowhere where anyone might recognize us. That was a bit odd I thought but this was her show so I let her words guide me. We drove for almost 2 hours aimlessly, nowhere really but just making idle small talk as the time passed. I didn't try to press her about any of her concerns, she would talk to me in her own time and I figured she would let me know when that time had arrived. Shortly before noon we pulled into a small town that was about 90 miles from our ranch and Alex decided this was the place. "Let's talk first and then get lunch later." She announced as I was parking the truck. "No problem, I'm not that hungry anyway." I let her know. "Let's just walk for a while." She said, moving down the sidewalk along the Street we had parked on. As I caught up with her she took my hand, wrapping her fingers around my own. I was a little surprised but it wasn't an unpleasant feeling, I knew how close the two of us had become and just went with the feeling. We walked in silence for several minutes, Alex not yet saying anything. We had walked about two blocks when we came to a small park with trees and grass. The trees had lost some of their leaves but some were still on the branches and the grass was mostly green. "Sit down Travis, I want to hear what you have to say." Alex started, directing me to a bench. There were several people on the streets although none near enough they might overhear a conversation. "OK sis, what's on your mind?" I asked, taking the initiative. "What do you think about George?" She asked bluntly. I had my own opinions of him, I wasn't certain exactly what she wanted to hear but I didn't think she wanted me lying about my own feelings either. "I don't know, I guess he's nice enough." I wasn't sure I should tell her I had reservations about the guy, I didn't know exactly what her feelings were about him either. Still, since she was asking the questions there must be some sort of doubts in her mind. "Come on Travis enough with the diplomatic bullshit. Tell me what you really think about him?" Alex insisted. She could always tell when I wasn't being totally honest although I really wasn't trying to lie to her either. "I'm not sure what you're looking for Alex, but I'm just not certain about him. Like I said, he seems nice enough but there's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way. He hasn't done anything to hurt you has he?" I wondered, suddenly aware she might have other reasons for seeking my opinion about him. "Oh no, like you say he's nice enough but I get these strange feelings about him sometimes too. "If you're not sure about him, why are you still seeing him?" It probably wasn't the right question to ask, but I knew she wanted an honest opinion from me. "I've been asking myself that for the past couple of weeks." She answered, I could see there was some internal conflict within her. "Look Alex, there are plenty of guys out there. If you're just going out with this guy so you can say you have a boyfriend, I don't think that's the right reason. When you find the right person you'll know, you won't need to ask me what I think about the guy." I tried offering brotherly advice, even though I probably wasn't the best person to offer such advice. "Sometimes it's just really hard Travis. I know you found Courtney and that's great. The two of you make each other so happy, sometimes I just wish I could find that same happiness." I could see her eyes getting misty, I wondered if she would be crying soon. "Look Alex, you're a great woman. You're beautiful and smart and fun to be with, there are any number of guys who would be more than happy to have you." I tried. "Yeah, but unfortunately too many of those guys don't seem to be in it for the long run. I've met my share, all they want is a good time and then they're off looking for the next conquest." Now she was starting to get angry, thinking back on some of the Wilder things she had done when younger. "I don't think it's something you can force sis. I think it's going to happen someday and probably when you least expect it. Like you say, I wasn't looking for anyone when Courtney and I first got together. In fact, I think you know I had pretty much written her off for quite a while before things just clicked between us. The same thing will happen to you one day, just let it happen and know that it will." Alex wiped a tear from her cheek, then turned to face me, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling us close. "Thanks Travis, you're the best." She said as she buried her face in my neck. "That's what big brothers are for. I told you that a long time ago and I will always be here to take care of you." I said, wrapping my arm around her back and hugging her tightly to me. Alex continued holding me for several more minutes until she had calmed to the point where her composure had returned to normal. "Are you ready for lunch?" She said cheerily. "Yeah, I think I am getting hungry." We stood and Alex again took my hand, ready to walk down the street and find a place to eat. She looked around before we had gotten very far, I assumed she was checking out which way to go to find a restaurant. "Grab my ass Travis." She whispered into my ear as she turned to hug me. "What?" Her question had surprised the heck out of me. "There's an older couple over there watching us, grab my ass." She said again, wrapping her arms around me and pulling my head down toward hers. Before I could object or say anything, she kissed me hard, and it definitely wasn't a sisterly kiss. Her mouth opened and her tongue sought out my own, each exploring the other for the first time in several months. Forgetting what she had asked, I didn't consciously do it but my arm did wrap around her back and then slide down to grip her ass cheek. I felt her giggle without breaking the kiss, I think she was having a good time putting on a show for the couple who had been watching us. By the time she decided to break our kiss, each of us was quite flushed and I could feel the start of a tightening in my pants. I know I shouldn't have, but the feel of Alex wrapping herself around me and kissing me passionately was an instance where my hormones were more in control than conscious thought. I think Alex was having similar issues, as we pulled apart I could see her nipples poking through her shirt and I knew that I had felt a bra strap underneath that shirt. "Think we gave them a thrill?" Alex asked as we moved apart and started walking down the street. "If we didn't, they must be too far over the Hill to feel anything." I laughed, trying to see that couple out of the corner of my eye. I spied them shortly afterward, they were on another bench and holding hands, each of them staring at us as we walked past. "Think they'll be doing it later tonight?" Alex asked with a smirk on her face. Alex!" I couldn't believe she was enjoying herself so much, but at the same time her words had made me wonder the same thing. It was hard for me to tell how old they might be, but I had to think of what I might be doing at some point in the future when I was that age myself. It was a sobering thought, but one I tried to forget as we came to a small café on the Street. "Looks like as good a place as any, doesn't it?" Alex asked, already having made the decision and leading me in through the door. We had a nice lunch and our conversation returned to more normal subjects. We let the thoughts about Alex and George move far from our minds, whatever I had told Alex was something she would need to work out on her own. Apparently she did, she and George stopped seeing each other several days later. It wasn't my business why and I didn't ask but she eventually said that after a few days to think it over, she realized he was less interested in her than in what our company could do for his career and what her money might be able to do for his own wealth. Just another gold digger she had said disgustedly, just like all the rest. ***** The party had been going on for almost 2 hours, people were mingling and talking and generally having a good time. It was really Alex's party but she didn't want people to make a fuss over her. We had asked that guests not bring gifts although she did receive a number of cards. She was okay with that, but really disliked anybody trying to treat her specially. I couldn't understand why, she was special, particularly to me, but then she was my sister too. I had been getting drinks for most of the guests, my duties as doorman long since finished. Everyone we had invited had arrived so I didn't think we would have any more visitors. I didn't see anyone consuming too much alcohol. Some of the guests were drinking eggnog, it'd been spiked, but there weren't any complaints about it. Others had a glass of wine or perhaps a rum and coke but nothing anyone requested was taxing my abilities as a bartender. As I was looking around I saw Liz and Ellen engaging JoAnn's husband in conversation. From the bits and pieces I could hear they were talking about the Cowboys, Wayne swearing they would win the Super Bowl this year and the other two were detailing some of what they felt were the team's weaknesses. I hadn't realized either of the two women was that involved in sports, but sometimes you never know these things. As I was watching them converse, Courtney came over to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. "Having a good time Travis?" She asked softly, her body warm against me. "Yeah, it's nice just having a few friends here. How about you?" I asked. "Yeah, it is nice. It's a great time of year and I'm glad to be here." She said, pulling herself more tightly against me as she brushed her lips against my cheek. She was right, it was a great time of year and being here with family and friends was something I truly enjoyed. ***** "JoAnn, can you come with me into the bedroom for a minute?" Alex asked JoAnn as she noticed JoAnn's husband engaged in conversation with Ellen and Liz. "Sure, I guess. What's up?" JoAnn asked, getting to her feet and following Alex down the hallway. "Come on in here for a minute." Alex said, directing her into Alex's room. "Okay, I'm here. Now what?" JoAnn said, her curiosity piqued. "I want you to go into the bathroom and wait for a minute, I've got a surprise for you." Alex said cryptically, JoAnn couldn't read anything from her expression. "I...I guess so?" JoAnn said, still not understanding. "Come on Travis, I want to show you something." Courtney said to me after several minutes of silence. "What's that?" I wondered aloud. "Just wait, follow me." I did as she asked, she led me down the hallway and into Alex's room. I was surprised to see Alex already there, I wondered what these two were conspiring about. "We've arranged a little surprise for you Travis. A little present so to speak." Alex said with a sly grin on her face. I looked from her to Courtney and back again, I wasn't exactly sure what they were talking about. "Are you ready Jo?" I heard Courtney say as I still wondered what their plan was. "Ready for what?" I heard a voice from the bathroom, I recognized it as JoAnn our pool girl. "We know how much Travis misses your blow jobs Jo. Although he'll never admit it, I don't think he'll turn down the offer if you're willing." Alex explained to her. "Is that what this is all about?" I heard a surprised voice from inside the bathroom say. As I was pondering, Courtney was pushing me to enter the room. I saw JoAnn standing there, a surprised look on her face as I entered. "Come on you two. We can't keep you here for long so let's get this show on the road." Alex seemed to be in charge again. "This is really weird. Not that I'm complaining, but you're his sister... And you, aren't you his girlfriend?" JoAnn was asking the questions. She had seen Alex and Courtney in the shower with me on a couple of occasions, not knowing at the time that Alex was my sister. I'm sure she was remembering the time she and Alex had shared my cock, each giving it several sucks and Licks before swapping it with the other one. Catching the two of us naked in the shower might have been one thing, but watching Alex suck me off had been something entirely different. "It's going to be a few months before you open the pool again, we thought we'd give each of you the chance to enjoy something both of you apparently like. Come on Jo, get down on your knees just like you do when you take care of Travis in the pool house." Alex was saying, she had moved to JoAnn's side and was urging her down. I was surprised when I felt Courtney reach around me from behind, she was unfastening my belt and before I knew it my pants were down around my ankles. My boxers followed shortly and I was standing there with my pecker hanging out, only a foot in front of JoAnn who had allowed Alex to push her to her knees. She looked up into my eyes and as I looked back, what had originally been a question started to become a glimmer of excitement. She had told me several years ago how much she enjoys sucking cock and I could tell the site of mine hanging in front of her was awakening something in her that hadn't been present several minutes before. Travis's Tale Ch. 03 I was expecting JoAnn to grasp my cock, she was used to doing that whenever we met in the shower. Instead though, Alex reached out and grasped it before JoAnn could, something that surprised both me and JoAnn. "I'm sure you know how to do this JoAnn, but I think having a sister jerk him off is going to get him excited a little faster. Don't you think so?" Alex said with a sinister grin on her face. JoAnn turned to look at her, then she looked at Courtney who had much the same expression on her face. It didn't take me long, soon my cock was hard and pointing right at JoAnn's face and that was all the motivation she needed. She knee walked the few inches forward until she could reach the head of my cock, soon she was sliding her lips down the shaft. I had missed this, it'd been several months since she had been around and I realized just how talented she was at doing this. Of course Courtney had been a more than acceptable substitute over the past few months but there was a definite difference between the two. I wasn't going to choose one over the other, right now I was enjoying JoAnn and the way she was licking and sucking, I knew she had missed our time together since she had stopped servicing the pool early in the fall. JoAnn sucked and slurped for several minutes, I was enjoying the feel and at the same time Alex and Courtney were rubbing up against me and commenting on JoAnn's technique. I could tell she liked the attention, she would look at me with a sparkle in her eyes and at the same time she was glancing at Alex or Courtney and even though her mouth was full, I expected she would be smiling had it not been so. It was getting close to that time, her lips and tongue were doing a marvelous job on the head of my cock, she had pulled back and had been working the head with vigor for the past two minutes. I was already close, but this was driving me over the edge very quickly. I remembered her dislike for the taste, normally I would come on her chest but now she was dressed in a nice outfit and I didn't think spewing my load all over her blouse would be very appropriate. "I'm almost there Jo, you're doing it to me..." I managed, in between the moans and grunts. "We know you don't like the taste Jo, what do you want to do when he comes?" Alex asked, she was again in charge. "I don't think there's enough time for me to take my shirt off, he's pretty close." She said as she slid off my cock for long enough to form the words before going back to work. "Courtney or I can take him if you want." Alex responded. I saw JoAnn's eyes get big but she didn't slow her efforts. "Here it comes, somebody better make a decision." I announced, I could already feel myself tensing and I knew I was seconds away from launching a hot load. I saw Alex and Courtney look at each other before Alex knelt down beside JoAnn. She reached out to put her hand around my shaft, but JoAnn refused to relinquish her hold. Alex was going to move her aside but before she could, I had reached the end of the line. I was totally surprised as JoAnn continued sucking hard, before I knew it I was filling her mouth with my semen. She continued sucking, concentrating her efforts on the very head and I was surprised when I saw her swallow and then continue sucking. I was down to the last few dribbles, but still she continued and soon she had pulled every drop I was going to produce from my cock. "I thought you didn't like the taste?" Alex asked, she was still kneeling beside JoAnn and I thought I could see a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Maybe she had hoped to get a taste herself, but JoAnn had deprived her. "I don't, but this was special. It's something I wanted to do for Travis, I owe him a lot." She said as she was licking her lips and swallowing the last traces of my seed. "He's probably having a tough time answering right now, but you don't owe Travis any more than any of your other customers. You do a great job and you deserve everything you've built for yourself." Courtney said, she was speaking the words I had been thinking but unable to form as my body was trying to revive itself. "I appreciate that Courtney. You guys are great, I really enjoy being here. Thanks for inviting me." She said, I'm not sure if that was intentional or just an oversight but I did realize she said me instead of us when she spoke. She still wore her wedding ring and I didn't see any sign of issues between her and her husband. It probably was more in my mind than in reality so I tried to forget that line of thought. Courtney helped Alex and JoAnn back to their feet, they needed to get JoAnn back to the party before Wayne realized she was gone and might wonder why. JoAnn rinsed her mouth out and took a minute to run a hand through her hair, making certain she looked presentable before she made her way back out of the bedroom and into the main part of the house. "Did you enjoy our little surprise?" Courtney asked as she and Alex were working to get themselves composed as well. Neither of them had participated in the blow job but I could tell each of them had become aroused as they watched. Once again I noticed Alex's hard nipples as they were poking through her shirt and again I knew she was wearing a bra today. She did this more often in the cooler weather and that thought reminded me of the numerous times in the summer I had seen her not only without a bra but without any shirt at all. I knew Courtney was wearing a bra, she usually did. "Shall we get back to the party?" Courtney said again, taking me by the arm and directing me out of the bedroom and toward the rest of the guests. Alex followed behind, no one apparently had noticed our absence or if they had didn't say or do anything to indicate that. ***** Lizzie had been serving as bartender during the 20 minutes I had been gone, although she reported to me 'business had been pretty slow'. We were in the kitchen making small talk, the caterer would be here shortly and dinner would be served. I was again musing about what a good day this was, family and friends here to celebrate my sister's birthday with us. "Did you hear that?" Lizzie said softly, taking my arm. "Hear what?" I asked before she put a finger to my lips. I wasn't sure why, but didn't say any more as she was searching the room with her eyes. "I think it's coming from over here..." She said softly, taking my arm and urging me to follow although still keeping a finger to her lips to indicate that I not say anything. She was pulling me toward the utility room, there was really nothing in there but the washer, dryer and a food pantry. I thought back several months before to finding Courtney and Carmelita tied up there after the break-in. It had been a scary time for each of them and I was still upset to know that either might have been hurt because of some group's dislike of me and my company. I pushed the thought to the back of my mind, it was something I had tried to forget but it was difficult to do so. The door to the utility room was closed but not latched. Lizzie stopped right in front of the door, I could see she was listening intently. "What do you think it is?" I whispered softly into her ear, I too could now hear something from beyond the door. "I'm not sure, but I have an idea..." She said with a conspiratorial smile on her face. As she put a finger to the door, she didn't need to turn the knob but merely pushed it open several inches so she could put an eye up to the crack and see through. She did just that, standing silently for several seconds before she pulled back long enough to whisper into my ear. "I don't believe it." Was all she said. I wasn't sure what she was talking about but curiosity being what it is, I needed to know. I was standing directly behind her and as she again put her eye to the space between the door and the frame, I leaned over her and did the same. My chest was lying across her back, I could feel how warm she was but didn't really concentrate on that thought. No, right now I was looking into the dimly lit utility room as Pete was sliding his hard cock into and out of Ellen's pussy. She had her dress flipped up onto her back, and she was leaning over with her forearms on the washing machine. Pete had his pants around his ankles and I thought the situation strangely arousing. Each was trying to maintain some semblance of discretion, but at the same time their actions were being betrayed by what they were feeling in their joined crotches. I wasn't certain how long they had been at it, but apparently each was getting close to the end. I could see what had originally been a regular rhythm between them start to become more erratic. I had been holding Lizzie by the waist, I didn't want to lose my balance as I leaned over her to get a look into the room. Apparently she was enjoying what she was seeing, she reached back and took my hands and pulled them around her stomach. I was now hugging her although that had not been my intention. Before I realized what she was doing, she had taken my hands and moved them up until they were covering her breasts. She pressed my hands hard into those breasts, urging me to squeeze and fondle although I was totally surprised at her actions. She was a very attractive woman and I enjoyed the feel, although I had to wonder what Courtney might think if she were to find us doing this. Of course, spying on Pete and Ellen engaging in carnal activities probably wasn't the most considerate thing we could be doing either. I remembered back several months to the day the five of us had found ourselves swimming naked in the pool, I remembered Lizzie wrapping her legs around my waist and pressing her bare breasts into my face as we played in the water. They were just as soft and full then as they were now, and despite my reservations I found myself exploring her breasts with my hands even though she had stopped urging me to do so with her own. It was then I realized that her right hand had gone down between her legs, I could feel a rhythmic motion as her arm moved back and forth. "Lizzie, are you okay?" I whispered softly into her ear. "I'm fine Travis, just damn horny." She whispered back, turning her face until her mouth was barely an inch from my own ear. "Just keep playing with my tits, it feels so good." She said as I could feel her whole body start to tremble. I wasn't sure what to do at this point, looking into the room I realized that Pete and Ellen had each come, although I could still see Pete's hard cock planted deep between Ellen's legs. I wasn't sure how much longer they might stay there, I wondered if this was a quickie and they would be back amongst the other guests shortly. At the same time I realized Lizzie was coming too and the thought was exciting me. My own cock had risen and was rubbing against her ass, although I wasn't doing anything to make it grow other than watching the action in front of me. Well, that and playing with Lizzie's tits. This is crazy I thought, first I get a blow job in the bathroom from JoAnn and now I'm watching an old friend and one of Alex's girlfriends have sex while the rest of the guests are having a good time in the other room. Yes, it was indeed a strange day. "I need a stiff cock Travis. Can you help me out?" Lizzie said softly into my ear, my surprise and shock causing me to let go her breasts. "I wish I could Lizzie, but you know Courtney and I are together now right?" I said, I knew she knew, but I hoped I wasn't disappointing her too much. "Yeah, I know. Do you think if I asked her she'd let me borrow you for half an hour?" She said with a laugh, I wasn't certain if she was serious or just busting on me. "You could, but I'm not sure what she might say about that." I said back, I knew I was only busting. "I think they're done, we need to get out of here." Lizzie said, bringing me out of my reverie. As we cautiously stepped back away from the door, she put a finger on the knob and pulled it as far closed as it would go without allowing it to latch. She then straightened up and rearranged her clothing, her top had become somewhat disheveled as I had been exploring her breasts. I gave her a quick once over, she was indeed a beautiful woman and I thought I could notice a bit of dampness on the crotch of her pants, but as she stood the spot moved between her legs and was less obvious. We moved back into the kitchen and then out of sight of the utility room. Within 30 seconds I saw the door open a crack, an eye looking out through the space and then Pete and Ellen quickly exited the room. Neither of them had seen me watching, and as I looked around the room I didn't see anyone else who had noticed them come out. They separated and shortly each rejoined the party, although not together. "How long have they been seeing each other?" I asked Lizzie as we were again standing together near the liquor. "As far as I know, she only met him today." Lizzie said with a giggle. "Damn! That was quick work, for both of them." I had to admit, they must've seen something in each other to be screwing only hours after they met. We went back to the group, a few minutes of conversation before the caterers announced that dinner was served. It was nothing fancy, there was hot roast pork, baked ham, a lot of vegetables and cornbread. Nothing really fancy, just good filling food. Alex was surprised at the end of the meal with a birthday cake, she hadn't had one since she was much younger. I could see her tearing up as we all sat there singing happy birthday to her, it was something she didn't expect but she appreciated everyone who came to wish her happy birthday. The food was finished and the caterers had cleaned up and left, there would be plenty of leftovers for us later in the week but right now it was almost time for the party to break up. As people were starting to make their exit, Alex stood up and asked everyone to wait a minute. "I want to thank all of you for coming to this party. I know it was supposed to be my birthday party but really it was more of an occasion to see all of you and enjoy your company and friendship." I hoped this wasn't going to be a long-winded speech, but I had never known her to do that in the past so wasn't too worried. "Before you leave, I think Courtney has something she wants to tell us." I saw Courtney look surprised, apparently she had no idea what Alex was going to say. "Alex, this is your day. I don't really need to say anything right now." Courtney tried to avoid whatever Alex wanted her to say. "If you're not going to tell them, then I will..." Alex said cryptically, I wasn't certain exactly what she was talking about. "Alex, please don't." Courtney said, she didn't really look upset but I knew she didn't want Alex to say anything. "Courtney's pregnant!" Alex said, ignoring Courtney's request that she not say anything. Everyone turned to look to Courtney, I could see her face getting red. I knew she was, it had been almost 2 months since we had decided we wanted a child together. It wasn't something I had thought about beforehand but when she brought it up I realized it wasn't something that I didn't want either. It's just that I had never thought that far ahead so once we decided, it didn't take a lot of effort to do what was necessary. We had been sleeping together for some time now and very few nights during that time had passed without me sliding my cock into her hot pussy. Conceiving a child had not been difficult, she merely stopped taking her pills and allowed nature to take its course. I didn't realize she had said anything to Alex about it though, she and I had decided we wouldn't say anything until later. Everyone congratulated Courtney, all seemed happy to hear the news. The guys were shaking my hand and slapping my back as the women started cooing and asking Courtney about when she was due. I guess it's the typical thing when you find out someone is having a baby, there's the usual male reaction and the female reaction. I had done it myself, congratulating friends when finding out they would be fathers and at the same time there was usually someone who would ask the guy if he actually knew who the real father was. Fortunately, no one here said that to me but it wouldn't surprise me if Pete had done so. Everyone had left and things suddenly seemed a lot quieter. "I thought you weren't going to say anything to your sister Travis." Courtney said, she wasn't accusing me of anything but I think she was disappointed in me. "I didn't." I said in my own defense. "He's right Courtney, he didn't say anything to me." Alex answered simply. "Well if he didn't and I didn't, who told you?" Courtney wanted to know. "Come on Cort, you're a woman, can't you tell when someone is pregnant even if they don't say anything?" "Yeah, I guess you're right about that. Still, I wish you hadn't said anything, this is supposed to be your day not mine." Courtney answered wistfully. "It's both our day. I can't wait to be an aunt and I'm sure the two of you will be great parents." "Well, I guess the secret is out by now." Courtney said with a smile, I could tell she knew what to expect. All the women in the office would be hovering around her, asking her how she was feeling and when she was due and wanting to see her ring and... Well, she didn't really have a ring since we hadn't even decided to marry. It wasn't something we had discussed and maybe we would in the future, but right now neither of us felt the need. That thought did give me pause, I realized I probably should give her something. I know, a ring has a certain meaning to a woman so maybe I could find something else although any sort of jewelry might have that same connotation. What the heck, she was going to think what she was going to think, regardless of what I gave her or how I tried to explain it. Perhaps a ring would be a good idea although I would steer away from the traditional engagement sort of setting. ***** I was lying in bed almost asleep. It was mid-February and Courtney was up. She hadn't had any complications due to her pregnancy although she often had trouble sleeping. She would usually get up out of bed and wander around the house, she said it made her feel better to be moving rather than laying still and trying to get back to sleep after she had awakened sometime during the night. At first I would get up and walk with her although she insisted that wasn't necessary. After several weeks of this, I decided she was right and stayed in bed although I usually offered to join her if she needed any company. She rarely accepted so in one way I was glad to be able to stay in bed and hopefully get some sleep. I had given her a ring for Valentine's Day, trying to tell her that's all it was, a Valentine's Day present. It was white gold with diamonds and sapphires and I thought very tastefully done. As soon as I gave it to her I could see the tears in her eyes and she threw herself at me, smothering me in her arms and kissing me with passion. "It's only a Valentine's Day present Courtney, it's not like you don't deserve something nice." I had tried to tell her, but even though she didn't say anything I got the distinct feeling she was going to consider it as an engagement ring. I had given Alex a bracelet, her own Valentine present, but it didn't engender the same response in either of them that Courtney's ring had. We discussed marriage several times during the past couple of months but again had arrived at no conclusion. She wasn't pushing me to marry her but at the same time she made it clear it would not bother her if we chose to wed. Alex was just as excited when she saw the ring, she noticed it on Cort's finger even before Courtney said a word. I guess women must have some sort of jewelry radar, she homed in on it within seconds of walking into the room. The two of them were talking a mile a minute, already making plans and I got the feeling that some of those plans might even include me but since I wasn't directly invited into the conversation I tried to ignore it as best I could. Travis's Tale Ch. 03 I was almost asleep when I sensed someone come into the bedroom. Courtney had been up for probably 20 minutes now and normally she would walk for more than an hour but I didn't think anything of it as she returned. I moved back over to my side and pulled the covers aside to allow her to get into bed with me. "I hope you don't mind Travis." Alex said, she was the one who got into the bed rather than Courtney. "What are you doing here Alex?" I wondered. "Courtney won't mind, I already talked to her." She answered softly. "She won't mind what?" I asked. "She won't mind if you help me out." Alex said softly, I now realized she was naked as she moved herself against me. We had slept with each other the night on the range as we rode back from inspecting our cattle herd. That had been several months ago and although we had become very close since then there hadn't been any serious sexual contact between us after that time. We had each been naked in the other's presence a number of times and I knew she would occasionally watch as Courtney and I pleasured each other in bed but that's as far as it went. "How do you want me to help you?" I asked cautiously. "A girl has her needs Travis." "And what needs would those be?" I wondered. Alex didn't answer, rather she slid herself atop me. She was warm and as her breasts flattened themselves on my chest, I remembered the feel of her body those few months back. It didn't take my sleep deprived brain long to understand what she was looking for but before I could take any actions of my own, she sat atop me and started moving up. Soon she was sitting on my chest and I could easily smell her arousal, her pussy was mere inches from my face. "I want you to eat me Travis, eat me and make me come." She said as she moved herself closer to me, I could feel her neatly trimmed pubic hair starting to tickle my face. I had never done this before but since she had sucked me off on several occasions I realized I needed to return the favor to her. Yes, it was a strange thought the fact that a brother and sister would be giving each other oral pleasure but now we had gone far beyond the morality of something like that. I lifted my hands and placed them on her ass cheeks, pulling her hard into my face as I reached out with my tongue. Alex was more than ready, I could feel the wetness that had already run down her pussy lips before I even started. I don't think she was expecting to be teased but I started slowly, licking one labia and then the other as she was squirming around, trying to direct my tongue where she wanted it. "Don't tease me Travis, I need this bad." She managed to say, still squirming as I avoided touching her where she wanted me to. I had thought to continue teasing, but before I could do that Alex reached out with both hands and put them behind my head, pulling me hard into her crotch. "I said eat it!" She demanded, she hadn't given me much choice in the matter. I followed her instructions and slid my tongue between her lips, they were already engorging and spreading, ready to accept something hard between them. Right now, the hard object they were going to receive was my tongue. I pushed forward as best I could, although as hard as Alex was pulling me into herself there wasn't much further I could go. I licked around and around, she was leaking copious amounts of pussy juice, some of it I was finding with my tongue and more was running down across my chin and onto my neck. I kept at it, and any fatigue I might've started with was now gone. Alex had let go her hold of my head, she didn't need it any longer and she had leaned forward and continued pressing her pussy onto my mouth. With her hands free, she put them between her legs and pulled her labia far apart, urging me to look for and find her clit. It wasn't difficult, not even in the darkness of the bedroom. The little Bud was hard and standing tall and proud, not the largest I had ever seen but certainly as sensitive as any I had experience with in the past. As soon as I touched it with the tip of my tongue, Alex screamed in pleasure and forced herself against my face even harder. I continued working my tongue on and around her clit, circling it and then rubbing my tongue hard across it. Each time I touched it with my tongue she would jump again, I wasn't certain what would happen if I actually sucked it into my mouth and offered even more sensations. As she was writhing atop me I let go my grip on her hips, I didn't need to push her harder into my face than she was doing on her own. With my hands now free, I lifted them up to find her breasts, firm and hanging down right above my head. As I gripped them and squeezed, she again shuddered with the touch. Her nipples were hard and poking into my palms, I knew just how sensitive they were and started tweaking them with my thumbs. Her vocalizations became louder and more frequent, but what originally started as sighs and moans were now more screams and grunts. I could tell she was getting closer, I had no idea how long it'd been since she had gotten any sexual relief from anyone other than her own hand, but I could sense a monumental explosion about to occur. The room was almost completely dark but I didn't have to see anything to realize Courtney was standing in the doorway watching us. I couldn't worry about that now even though Alex had already told me Courtney had offered her approval. Thinking about eating out my sister as the future mother of my child watched brought a new stiffness to my cock. It had been standing straight up the entire time Alex had been sitting on my face, but I was ignoring that since my only intention was to make Alex feel as good as I could. Alex suddenly stopped writhing atop me, she stiffened and I knew her time had arrived. I could hear a deep gutteral moaning in her throat but nothing more. Her hands fell away from holding her pussy lips apart, next thing I know she had slumped across me. I was still holding her breasts and had to push her aside in order to breathe, she was laying directly atop my face. I was breathing hard as she was, I could feel the perspiration and the heat that was exuding from her body. My own body was hot too, I had put all of my effort into getting her off. I wondered what was going to happen next, I was still breathing hard and so far Alex had barely moved. I wondered if Courtney was still there watching us, if so she hadn't said or done anything since Alex's climax. After several more minutes of inaction, Alex pushed herself up off of my face and sat upright although still on my chest. "You don't know how good that felt." She said with a smile I couldn't see but knew was there. "If the way you were bouncing around on my face is any indication, I think I have a pretty good idea." I kidded back. "I appreciate your help Travis, you're a good brother. Like I said, a girl just has her needs sometimes." "I told you before, I'll do my best to take care of you Alex." I said, assuming she would return to her own room and I could get back to sleep. "I appreciate everything you do for me Travis." She said as she started to slide off of me. I was expecting her to go back to her room and before that could happen she rolled over my one leg and pushed it apart from the other, soon she was lying on her stomach and toying with my cock which was still playing the part of steel bar. "Alex?" I said with surprise. "Don't worry Travis, like I said I'm going to take care of you too." She answered just before she slipped my cock into her mouth. We had been here before, she had sucked me off several times in the past and I didn't have any complaints about how she had done. Right now she was doing another wonderful job, I could feel her move as far down as she could until the tip of my cock hit the back of her throat. She had never tried to Deep Throat me and I never expected her to do something like that and she didn't tonight. She took me in as far as she could and then slowly pulled back up, her lips and tongue doing a wonderful job of massaging my cock. She was sliding up and down, making as much contact as she could with each trip her mouth made. I looked over at the door and thought I could see Courtney's silhouette standing there watching, but there wasn't enough light for me to be absolutely certain. If I really thought about it I don't know what else she might be doing, there certainly wasn't anything more exciting going on in the house right now. Alex continued to bob up and down, her tongue was doing a marvelous job of stimulating the sensitive area right underneath the head of my cock. She knew what she was doing and I knew for certain she hadn't learned it all during the few times she had sucked me off but I wasn't going to think about any of her past experiences. As she continued sucking, I thought back to her birthday party and having JoAnn do the same thing to me in Alex's bathroom. I remembered the look on Alex's face when JoAnn refused to relinquish my cock just before I came, I had the feeling Alex wanted to take my load in her mouth but for the first time ever, JoAnn had done so herself. I knew JoAnn didn't like the taste, she had said so on numerous occasions but she let me know that this was something special and that swallowing my load was her gift to me. I could feel the tingling in my loins that let me know it wouldn't be long. "I'm almost there Alex." I managed to mumble, I had to wonder where I found the ability to speak with the wonderful sensations she was providing to my cock. "Let it come Travis, I want you to get off too." She said as she stopped sucking long enough to reply. "You keep up like that, you're not going to have to worry about me." I answered, but I think she had a pretty good idea just how much I was enjoying what she was doing to me. "She really wants this Travis, give her a full load." Courtney's voice surprised me, I knew she had been there watching but I didn't expect her to say anything about what we were doing. "How do you know she wants it?" I managed to say, I don't know why or how I was even able. "She said she missed out at the birthday party, she really wanted to finish you off but JoAnn wouldn't let her." Courtney explained, confirming what I had seen in Alex's face that day several months back. "You two don't need to be debating what I'm doing, just start concentrating on my mouth and fill it up for me." Alex said with some exasperation, Courtney's words had disturbed my concentration and I wasn't as close as I was two minutes ago. It didn't take long for Alex to bring me back to the point I was ready to blow, her lips and tongue were doing wonders and she could feel my cock swelling within her mouth. "You wanted it sis, you got it!" I said just as the first shot launched itself from the tip of my cock. Alex started sucking more vigorously, she was going to pull every drop and more out of me. I had been letting her do all the work up until now but as my cock was spurting, I started thrusting up into her mouth and she greedily accepted each hot shot that hit the back of her throat. I could hear her throat contracting each time she swallowed, and she swallowed a number of times before I was finished. Between the fact that Courtney and I had been having sex at least once a night for the past months and the fact that my own sister had just sucked me off, I couldn't believe the quantity of semen I had produced. I'm not sure Alex could either, I don't think she was expecting quite the load but she didn't complain about it either. "Did I do well for you Travis?" She asked in a small voice. "What do you think?" I said. "Knock off the little girl Shit Alex, you know exactly how much he enjoyed it. You've got a full belly of his enjoyment right now to prove it to yourself." Courtney said, I knew she was busting on my sister. "It is too bad that I drained him for the night, he won't have anything left for you." Alex busted right back. "I'm not too worried about it Alex, he already fucked me once..." I wasn't sure if I was going to get any sleep tonight or not, they seemed intent on busting on each other and neither one of them had moved out of the room. "Why don't you two take this somewhere else." I suggested, I was ready to try to get back to sleep. "How about if we both stay here?" Courtney countered my suggestion. "Sounds good to me, move your ass over and make room for your girlfriend Travis." Alex ordered me. I guess I didn't have a choice, Alex was already on my one side as Courtney was working her way into the bed on my other. I had slept with each of them individually, but this was the first time the three of us had been in the same bed together. I didn't think either was ready for some sort of three-way but right now I don't think I could get it up if I tried. I was ready for sleep and as the two ladies each snuggled into me I knew they too were ready to drift off into dreamland. ***** The sun coming through the skylight in the morning woke me. It was bright enough to illuminate the bedroom which also allowed me to realize the morning was half over. I felt great after getting a good night's sleep, the activities of the previous evening had done much to make that happen. Courtney was lying to my left, she was flat on her back and sleeping peacefully although I could see her face twitching occasionally. Her blonde hair was fanned out behind her on the pillow, I took a second to admire her beauty as she lay there. I looked further down at her breasts which were uncovered, the sheet just below them. They didn't flatten themselves onto her chest much, still firm and supple although I knew she was approaching 30 years of age. 30 years? It certainly didn't seem very old to me although I had only recently turned 28 so I wasn't far behind. I did notice her nipples were hard and puckered, something that did surprise me since I didn't expect that while she slept. Perhaps she was having a pleasant dream, perhaps thinking about watching me and Alex last night although the room was dark enough she could not see much. Alex was on my other side, she was lying on her side and snuggled into me. Her right arm was across my chest, pulling herself tight to me as her breasts were crushed against my side. Her head was on my shoulder and my right arm was wrapped around her shoulders, helping to pull her tightly against me. As I thought about it I unconsciously pulled her more tightly against me, hearing her sigh softly as she readjusted her position but did not wake. Maybe I should've been wierded out but I wasn't. We were all naked lying in bed, my sister on one side and my girlfriend on the other. Some people might find that strange but right now I didn't. I lay there comfortably pondering the state of my life. Actually I was thinking about the life of our family here not just my own. My sister Alex was my only blood relative, each of our parents had been only children and after their death the two of us had only each other. Now Courtney was part of the family, she was carrying my baby but even had she not been pregnant, she had become very close to both of us. Living with the two women had not been difficult, although some might think it could have been, the three of us got along without problem. Alex stirred to life, she too was feeling the sun on her face and soon she opened her eyes, blinking several times before squinting to keep the sunlight out of them. She looked at me looking at her, realizing that I was awake, and then she lifted her head to kiss me on the cheek. "Morning Travis." She said softly, I think she did not want to wake Courtney. "Morning sis. How did you sleep last night?" I asked just to make conversation. "I slept great. I had a warm brother here in bed with me keeping me close and safe. What else could a girl want?" She chuckled as she was becoming more alert. Courtney started to stir on my left side, I could feel her moving about although I wasn't certain she was actually awake just yet. Right now I was too comfortable to move, I just lay there holding Alex and appreciating the feel of her warm body pressed against mine. "Looks like somebody's glad to see me." Alex said with a giggle, seeing my morning wood tenting the sheets and then lifting that sheet to look underneath. "What did you expect?" I said with a bit of embarrassment, but realized this wasn't the first time she had seen my morning wood. Alex pulled the sheet down, exposing my erection and then reaching down to grasp it lightly with her hand. With the sheet pulled off of her, Courtney was becoming more alert and as I glanced over toward her, I could see her watching what Alex was doing and smiling as she observed. Alex was toying with me, not doing anything meant to arouse me any more than I already was, but the gentle movements of her hand certainly had that effect on me. "It seems a shame to waste this..." Alex said, her hand becoming more active on my cock. I remembered back several months ago to the morning after she and I had made love on the range, Alex saying those exact words the first time she saw me with an early morning erection. At that time she had mounted me and ridden me to a wonderful climax, actually our third of that trip. I thought she was ready to do the same now but before she could, I felt Courtney moving on my other side. "You're right Alex, it would be a shame to waste it." She said as she lifted a leg over my thighs and straddled them. Alex had to move her own legs away to give Courtney room to place her knee beside me, but once Courtney was settled, Alex moved close again. "I was having a wonderful dream about doing just this." Courtney offered as she started sliding herself closer to her target. Alex still had her hand wrapped around the base of my cock, she was teasing it gently with the tips of her fingers but nothing more. Courtney had moved up far enough, she now lifted herself high enough that she could position her pussy directly above my cock. Alex moved it so that it was pointing directly between Courtney's lips, I could already see her wetness that was coding her labia. She certainly must've been having a hot dream, it didn't take her long to get ready. Without any preamble, she slowly lowered herself down until my cock was completely engulfed within her pussy, Alex letting go its base just before Courtney settled onto her hand. Courtney started a gentle rocking, moving back and forth and side to side with a slow and easy motion. I could feel the heat and wetness of her pussy as it wrapped itself all around me, she was doing her best to get my cock to touch every surface within her. She continued to rock slowly, the feeling was great but I knew I could hold out almost forever if she didn't become any more active than she was. I was still holding Alex against me, her head was again lying on my shoulder as the two of us watched Courtney and what she was doing. Once again I thought how weird this might be, but really it didn't bother me at all. In fact, I realized just how lucky I was to be here with the two women I loved most in the entire world. I felt a warm glow deep inside, one that had nothing to do with what was happening below my waist. Courtney continued to rock easily, she hadn't said a word as she watched us watching her. Alex had been toying with my nipples for several minutes, they were hard pebbles just as Courtney's were but then she took her hand away from me and placed it onto Courtney's abdomen. There was a small swelling there, the first signs of the new life she carried within her. Looking at her as she was wearing clothes one would have a hard time telling, but now as we lay here naked it was becoming more apparent. Alex rubbed gently, back and forth and then in slow circles. Courtney smiled more broadly as she watched what Alex was doing, sighing softly but not slowing or stopping what she was doing atop my crotch. I had done my share of rubbing her belly, some of it to feel the swelling and some of it to offer comfort to Courtney who said the strange new feeling was different to her. I wondered what Alex might be thinking, was she just curious or did she have thoughts of having her own child one day. It wouldn't surprise me, but even though we had become very close over the past few months neither of us had discussed that subject. Travis's Tale Ch. 04 Alex and I drove to the hospital early in the afternoon to pick up Courtney and our daughter. It was an exciting time, and one that scared the hell out of me. I had never been around a young child in my life and wasn't certain exactly what to expect. I know other people did it and I felt confident I would be able to do so as well, but the nervousness still remained. The hospital insisted Courtney ride out in a wheelchair, something she complained about but in the end had to relent since it was their policy and they told her she wasn't leaving until she followed their orders. Once they pushed her outside, Alex pulled the car up and I was falling all over myself trying to make certain she was comfortable for the drive home. We made certain Alexandra was strapped into the car seat, we didn't want anything to happen to her. I think Alex and Courtney were each laughing at me as I tried to make sure everything was completely perfect. Alex was driving and I was up front with her, Courtney in back with our daughter as we made the half hour ride back to the ranch. Alex and I each were barraging Courtney with questions and I think she was getting tired, and at the same time Alexandra slept peacefully not even aware of the adults around her. I hoped this was a good sign, I had heard horror stories about not being able to sleep for the first six months of a child's life because that same child had a different sleep schedule from her parents. I guess we would find out, living with a young child in the house certainly would be something different. We got home and there were quite a few cars in the driveway. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, there was a huge banner over the top of the door welcoming Courtney and Alexandra home. It didn't take much detective work to realize that Ellen and Liz were likely responsible. I thought they were going to way too much trouble, but decided to go with the flow since I really didn't have any choice. We went inside and everyone rushed to see the new baby, she and Courtney were the center of attention. That was fine with me, I tried to stay out of the way as much as possible until some of the excitement had passed. There were a number of our friends as well as work colleagues who had taken the afternoon off to congratulate us and meet our daughter for the first time. The house was filled with new flowers, plants and various other symbols of a new arrival. It was a happy time and I realized just how fortunate we were to have friends to share this time with us. I could see Courtney was getting tired but she was doing her best to stay upbeat and cordial as she greeted everyone individually and allowed each to get a good look at our daughter. Fortunately no one decided to overstay a welcome, after about two hours all but Liz and Ellen had left to return to their own lives. I thought briefly one or both of them might decide to stay over but each went to work helping to clean up and put things away before offering their own goodbyes to us. Now what? This was the start of a new phase in my life, a new phase for me and Courtney together. I had no idea how our lives would change and I'm certain Courtney didn't have much more than I did but we would take things in turn as they came. The first thing that came was Alexandra crying, she had been quiet and slept most of the time the others were trying to get a look at her but not now. "Now what?" I asked, I hoped either Courtney or Alex would have some idea. "It's something you're going to have to get used to Travis. Generally when she cries it either means she's hungry or needs to be changed. There's not a lot you're going to be able to do about the hungry part right now but maybe we should teach you how to get her changed right away." Courtney said with a smile as she watched me for my reaction. I don't know what reaction she might've been expecting, but I had known for quite some time I would be drafted for diaper duty on a regular basis. "Okay Cort, show me what I have to do and we can get started here." I said, it was time I did my first diaper change. We had stocked up well before Courtney went into labor, we probably had enough diapers and baby wipes and everything we would need for at least a month. Courtney took Alexandra into the bedroom and I followed, she set her down carefully on the bed and started giving me my first lesson. "Pull off the tabs on each side of the diaper, then pull it down slowly. Be careful of what you find, you never know how much there might be." She said, chuckling at my uncertainty even as I started following her directions. I pulled the tabs and slowly pulled the front of the diaper down, I didn't see anything but I wasn't sure exactly what I might be expecting either. Maybe it was best this way since it was my first time, but she was only wet. Courtney lifted her up as I pulled the diaper out from under her, rolling it up and throwing it into the waste bin that was specially designed for such use. She then lay Alexandra back down on the changing pad, and asked me to hand her one of the baby wipes. She proceeded to wipe her down everywhere, both in front and back to make certain she was clean and dry before we would put on a new diaper. "Okay, pick up your daughter and I'll show you how to get the new diaper back on." She said, indicating I was to pick up Alexandra. I had held her several times in the hospital but each time I had been hypersensitive about the possibility I might drop her. I guess I would have to get used to this, it was going to be a regular occurrence around here for quite a while. I did as Courtney asked, she laid out a clean diaper and then showed me where to set Alexandra back down onto the diaper. Once lying there we lifted up between her legs and wrapped it around her small thighs and then pulled the tabs across to fasten the sides in place. "That wasn't so hard was it?" She asked with a sly grin on her face. Alex had been watching the whole process and I could see she too was amused but I had been fascinated. "Nah, it wasn't that hard." I said, it really didn't seem to be that bad. "I'll remember that next time she has a load in the diaper, you remember that too." She said, now laughing more vocally. "I guess I'd better get her fed, it's been a few hours now." Courtney added, she started unbuttoning her blouse and before long Alexandra was sucking quietly at her breast. This was something I knew would fascinate me, I had never seen a woman breast-feeding a child up close. I think Alex was just as fascinated as I was, we each moved in to get a better look as Courtney sat down in the chair and held our daughter to her nipple. We could hear soft sucking noises and occasional murmurs from the child, Courtney was looking at her with the love a mother shares with a child. It was an amazing sight and made me realize just how much family meant to me at this moment. ***** I had been without Courtney in my bed for two nights now, and it felt good to have her back here with me. Of course Alex had filled in for her one night and Liz the other, so I couldn't complain about not having a warm body but still I was glad to feel Courtney snuggled up against me tonight. I knew she was tired and I knew it would be a while before we could do any serious lovemaking, but right now I think I was probably almost as tired as she was after all the excitement of the day. I held her for a while as we whispered our love for each other and soon we were both asleep. That didn't last long, Alexandra decided she was hungry and she had not yet learned how to find her way to the refrigerator. Courtney got up to get her, soon both of them were back in bed although none of us was sleeping. I didn't mind, I still was amazed by the process of Courtney feeding our daughter from her breasts. I knew this would be a regular occurrence for a while and I also knew that my own sleep would be regularly interrupted until Alexandra was old enough to make it through the night without needing a feeding or diaper change. I had no one to blame but myself, it'd been my stiff cock that had deposited my seed inside Courtney that created this young life nine months ago. Courtney was up early with Alexandra, she was again feeding her and I knew the reason she had arisen early was to change the diaper. I wasn't called to assist on this change, and from the smell I think I was glad of that. I knew I couldn't get away with doing only the wet diapers for long, but for now I allowed Courtney to take over diaper duty as I got up and went toward the kitchen to find something to eat. I wasn't really there for a full breakfast, I just thought I should put a little something in my stomach to settle it before going outside and doing my laps. I knew having a young daughter in the house would change our life considerably but I wanted to try to maintain a routine as close to what it had been as possible. I'm not sure how realistic this expectation was, but I knew I should try. I was in the water swimming, I knew that Alex had gotten up but today she had not come out to join me in the pool. Courtney was busy with our daughter, but I could occasionally see the two of them talking in the kitchen as I glanced over toward the house when I was facing in that direction. I had finished swimming and gotten out of the water, sitting on the chair under the umbrella for several minutes to catch my breath before going into the pool house to get my usual shower. I saw Alex emerge from the back door and walk toward me, Courtney was still puttering around in the kitchen. "Morning sis. Did you sleep last night?" I asked, I knew Alexandra had awakened me several times but wondered if Alex had been aware of that in her own room. "I slept pretty well, but I did hear my niece a couple of times. I'm sure I'll get used to it, it's going to be a while before she learns to sleep through the night." Alex answered as she sat down in a chair beside me. "Yeah, I think it's going to change all of our lives." "It's going to be a good change Travis, I know it will. You're going to make a great father and I know Courtney couldn't be happier right now." "I know what you mean Alex, I'm really happy right now but sometimes I'm just not sure how to express myself. I'm not sure if you understand, but I'm really glad you're here with us and part of the family." I tried, like I said I wasn't sure I was doing such a good job of expressing my feelings. "I'm happy to be here with you too, you know I love you." I could see her eyes starting to get Misty, but they probably were not much different than my own. "You going in the pool this morning?" I asked, trying to change the subject. "I was thinking about it but I'm not sure right now. Maybe I'll just sit here in the sun for a bit." "Okay, I'm going to get my shower. I'll be back in a few..." I said, standing and heading toward the pool house. I had been in the shower for about five minutes and was just ready to turn the water off when I heard the door open behind me. Thinking Alex might have come in to join me I turned but saw it was JoAnn instead. I hadn't thought about her this morning, although now I realized today was her normal day to service the pool. "Morning Jo. I didn't remember today was your day." I said as she came in to the shower with me. "I can understand Travis, what with the baby and all. How is Courtney?" She asked. "She came home yesterday afternoon. She's tired but she is really happy." "I'm so glad to hear that. You think she would mind if I saw the baby?" JoAnn asked as we stood facing each other in the shower. "I don't think she would mind at all. Want to go now before you start on the pool?" I asked. "Not just yet, I've got something more important to take care of." She said as she looked at me with a gleam in her eye. I remembered she had given up her time with me several days earlier, allowing Liz and Alex to share my cock as she stood and watched them on their knees in front of me. I knew I had promised her that today would be hers and hers alone, I realized she was expecting me to fulfill that promise with her. "We can go inside in a few minutes." I said with a wink, JoAnn was already dropping to her knees in front of me. It didn't take her long today, she had my cock in her mouth before it ever started its rise to full rigidity. As I felt her lips and tongue working on me I realized just how much she wanted this, her tongue was literally flying within her mouth trying to wrap itself completely around the head of my cock. JoAnn had sucked me completely into her mouth before my cock began its rise, and now that I was getting harder, it was more difficult for her to keep all of me in that mouth but she was trying her best. She had never tried to Deep Throat me and I had never tried to push my own cock past the back of her throat but today I think she was desperate to feel every inch of my hardness inside of her mouth. She was sliding up and back, I could feel the head of my cock hitting the back of her throat and sliding farther, not as far as I knew I could push in, but certainly much deeper than JoAnn had ever taken me before. She was licking and sucking with more veracity today than I had ever seen from her. She let go her grip on the base of my cock with her thumb and index finger, reaching behind me and grabbing each ass cheek with one of her hands. She was forcing me into her mouth, silently insisting that I give her everything I possessed. I wondered briefly if I would see Alex or Courtney come to watch, but deep down I knew that today belonged to JoAnn and I think each of the other two women realized this as well. With what JoAnn was doing to me, I knew I wouldn't last long. I was watching as she continued sliding her mouth back and forth on my stiff cock, although her eyes were looking up toward my face I knew they were unfocused, all I could see in them was extreme lust. She was so focused on what she was doing there was nothing else present in her conscious. "It's getting a lot closer Jo!" I said to warn her, but I'm not sure if she heard or understood my words. She continued trying to vacuum the liquid out of me with her mouth, I had never felt a blow job such as this in my life. She continued forcing me into her throat, her hands found their way into my ass crack and were tickling my backdoor even as she squeezed my ass cheeks. It was a strange sensation but also a pleasant one. I had never had a woman tease me there, in fact the only person who ever got close was a doctor one time who gave me a physical. It wasn't a pleasant feeling if I remembered right, but now there was something about JoAnn's fingertips teasing me at the same time she was trying to suck my tonsils through my cock. "Here it comes Jo, if you don't pull off now you're going to be swallowing it." I warned her again, this time trying to get her attention by toying with her cheeks and her ears. Apparently it was enough for her to understand what I was trying to tell her, I saw her look at me again and this time I saw the understanding in her eyes even though the lust was still there. She pulled off just in time and I deposited my load all over her tits, just the way she liked it. She had a huge smile on her face as she was alternately looking at my own face and then the tip of my cock as jet after jet of hot semen left the head to find its way onto her chest. As the last dribbles made their way out, she wiped them off with the tip of her finger and then rubbed the entire deposit over her breasts, coding her chest with the sticky mess. I was a little weak kneed myself, this had been an extra special blow job and I didn't remember ever having come so hard with any other woman sucking my cock, not even Courtney or Alexis. I helped her to her feet and the two of us managed to get under the water, soon I was rubbing my hands across her chest and rinsing off the gooey mess she had been playing with a moment earlier. I enjoyed this, her breasts were firm without SAG and I enjoyed the feel of them in my hands even briefly as she allowed me to wash them off. I had finished taking care of this task when to my surprise, JoAnn took my right hand and pushed it further down her abdomen, using her left to pull the front of her bikini bottoms out and forcing my hand in between her legs. "What's this?" I asked in surprise. "Use your hands on me Travis, feel just how wet I am. Put your fingers in me, fuck me with your fingers." She answered as I could hear her voice getting tight and husky. She let go my hand and pulled the bikini bottoms down, soon she had kicked them away and was naked just as I was. My hand was cupping her pussy, my fingers had moved between the labia even without conscious thought on my part. She was wet, and I realized only part of that wetness came from the shower. Now that she was naked she pulled herself tight against me, again grabbing my right hand with hers and urging me to find her opening with my fingers. This is something that had never happened between us, in the past she had always been satisfied with a quick blow job and then a kiss goodbye. Today the blow job had been much more insistent and now here she was demanding that I get her off with my fingers. It didn't take much effort for me to move a finger into her wet opening, she was literally forcing my hand further inside of her and directing me as we stood only several inches apart. I inserted a second and pushed in as far as I could, I could feel the inside of her pussy squeezing down on my fingers as they entered her. I started exploring slowly but soon my fingers became bolder, I was pushing in and sliding around in every direction as JoAnn started squirming with every movement. Soon she let go my hand, she was holding herself upright by wrapping her arms around me, I saw that her eyes were closed and she was moaning with pleasure as my fingers worked inside of her. I continued my toying, it seemed to me it would not take much to bring on a climax from her based on what I could see. Without removing my fingers I put my thumb on her clit which was hard and easy to find and she jumped at my first touch. I started teasing it with my thumb slowly, running circles around it and only touching it lightly at first but soon my movements became more regular and more direct. JoAnn was whimpering and I could feel her holding me tighter, I think she was having a difficult time standing up on her own. I wrapped my other arm around her back to aid in keeping her upright, I knew she was only seconds from reaching her peak. I was right, soon she was shuddering and moaning as I was holding her up with my one arm and continuing to tease her although more gently as she trembled and shook with the force of her climax. "Thanks Travis, I needed that." She said after several minutes of calming. "I'm glad to help Jo. Are you okay now?" I asked, I wasn't sure what had brought on this behavior and I wanted to be certain she was capable of getting back to normal. "Yes, I'm good Travis." She didn't say much, didn't really explain anything but she was reaching for the bottom of her suit to put it back on. I turned the water off and we each dried, I remembered she had wanted to go see Courtney and Alexandra and thought it would be a good way for her to get a few more minutes of quiet time before she had to return to her duties with the pool. Once dry and dressed, we walked toward the house although I took her by the arm just in case she needed the extra help. She smiled at me in appreciation but I didn't see any reason why she couldn't walk by herself if she really needed to. Alex had been outside when I went into the pool house but she had apparently gone into the main house before JoAnn and I came out. We went to the back door and entered, I followed JoAnn in and immediately she was drawn to Courtney and the baby. Travis's Tale Ch. 04 "Oh she's so cute! What's her name? How are you feeling Courtney?" JoAnn had a hundred things to say and was trying to say them all at once. "Morning JoAnn, did you and Travis get everything finished?" Courtney said with a smile, she knew exactly what JoAnn and I had been doing several minutes earlier. JoAnn blushed a bit at Courtney's words but I wasn't sure why, Courtney herself had been out there in the shower with me and JoAnn before so I didn't see any reason for embarrassment on anyone's part. "We're just about to sit down for breakfast JoAnn, can I offer you anything?" Alex asked as she too had joined the conversation. "I had breakfast earlier, but that coffee smells wonderful. Would I be able to have a cup if you have enough?" She asked hesitantly. "We have plenty, I'll get you some." Alex answered as she went to get a cup out of the cabinet and then poured for JoAnn. "Do you put anything in your coffee Jo?" Alex asked as she set the cup onto the table. "No, I like it just the way it comes out of the pot." JoAnn answered as she was still waiting for Courtney to answer the questions she had asked earlier. "I'm feeling better, thank you. I'm still tired and sore but I expected that. I think a few more days and I'll be pretty much back to normal. Her name is Alexandra, we thought it would be a good way for her to see her aunt as a role model." Courtney explained. "I think that's great. She's a beautiful little girl, would you mind if I held her?" JoAnn asked as she continued looking at Alexandra intently. "I don't think she will mind. She's been getting passed around quite a bit lately, it doesn't seem to bother her." Courtney answered as she stepped forward and offered Alexandra to JoAnn who was waiting with arms outstretched. "You're a real cutie here little girl. I can see why your mom and dad love you so much." JoAnn started as she was cradling our daughter in her arms. "Hey!?" Alex said with a hurt expression on her face. "Sorry Alex, I guess I meant her aunt too." JoAnn said with a laugh and then Alex was smiling as well. We knew enough not to take her seriously, everyone was in a good mood. JoAnn had come into the house wearing only the bottom of her suit, she had left the top in her truck just as she normally did. Alex and Courtney might ordinarily be without their tops, but Courtney had been wearing a shirt to cover her nursing bra and Alex had been wearing clothes instead of a bathing suit when she came out to speak to me earlier. Without warning little Alexandra turned her head and latched onto JoAnn's nipple, the breast was right there poking her in the cheek as JoAnn held her. "Oops! I guess she's hungrier than I thought." Courtney said, moving to take Alexandra out of JoAnn's arms. "I wish I had something for you little girl, but right now auntie JoAnn doesn't have any milk in her tits." JoAnn said, I could see her watching our daughter sucking her nipple trying to draw something out of it. "I'll take her from you now Jo, her mommy does have some milk in her tits and I'm sure that's what she wants." Courtney said, taking Alexandra back from JoAnn's arms. She had gently pried her mouth away from JoAnn's nipple, I could see it standing hard and puckered as it was covered with saliva. I saw JoAnn look wistful as Courtney took our daughter away, I wondered if she was thinking about having a child of her own. It was at that moment I realized she wasn't wearing the wedding ring I normally saw on her finger. That gave me pause, perhaps she had taken it off and forgot to put it back on but then again, perhaps the reason for her increased horniness this morning might be due to some separation between her and her husband. I didn't want to say anything for fear of embarrassing her, even though I was hoping it might only be a matter of her forgetting to put the ring on after she took it off to clean it or perhaps for fear of damaging it during her job. JoAnn sat down and had coffee while the three of us had breakfast, well actually the four of us but only three of us were eating solid food. She had not yet serviced our pool but she didn't seem to be in any hurry and we enjoyed her company for another half hour before she said she had to get to work. She went out and puttered around doing her normal excellent job, the pool had never suffered during the time she had been servicing it. After a while she waved goodbye and walked around the front of the house toward her truck. I was going to do something in the office and glanced outside just as she reached the door and opened it. I saw her pull out the top of her bikini and put it back on before getting into the truck and driving away. I guess she needed to wear it when driving around but I knew she said she preferred to work topless. I always enjoyed the sight of her bare breasts and even though there were more than a few bare breasts around here on a regular basis, I did enjoy looking at and feeling hers. ***** Having a young child in the house was certainly a change, but something we all adapted to easily. Between the three of us she got more than enough attention, something I think she was getting used to. Courtney was breast-feeding so going into the office two or three times a week as we had done in the past wasn't practical for her right now. She and Alex had both learned a lot about the running of our family business, in fact enough so that none of us would have to go into town if we really didn't want to. We had enough electronic communications technology here that just about anything that needed to be taken care of could be done remotely although I still favored face-to-face meetings if and when I could. In fact Alex was going into the office more often than I, she enjoyed the social interaction and would go in on her own when I felt like staying home with Courtney and Alexandra. Other things had changed as well. I traded my beloved Corvette on a more family oriented car, two seats just wouldn't do when one had to find room for a child safety seat. I had always been impressed with Alex's Lexus and found one of my own, although I did opt for one of their sportier models. The Texas Bureau of investigation had terminated Courtney's employment as soon as they found out she was pregnant, particularly once they found out that I was the father. Technically she had been on a leave of absence although she had been expected to covertly keep an eye on Alex due to the threat from the extremists that had threatened us in the past. We all hoped that threat was gone but realized even though diminished, it probably wasn't completely resolved. ***** The weather was really warming up as spring had moved into early summer, we were spending more time out by the pool just as we usually did. The four women who usually spent time with me had grown by one, Alexandra was the center of attention whenever Ellen, Liz, Courtney and Alex would get together to gossip and tan by the pool. Courtney made certain she was well covered with sun block and she never was exposed to direct sun, she always found a place on the table under the umbrella. With two more women, Alexandra got even more attention and the fact that none of the women ever wore a top outside meant she had even more targets as she searched for a nipple that might offer her some milk. There were only two of those, but none of the other women seemed to mind Alexandra's oral attention when directed at her own breasts. They all giggled and said how cute it was, but it seemed to me each one of them might be secretly harboring the wish that she would have a child of her own one day. "How are you feeling Ellen?" Alex asked her friend, Ellen was now six months pregnant and there was no doubt of that fact. Her stomach seemed to swell more each time I saw her as did her breasts, although they had never been lacking in the past they were now starting to compare in size with those of the other three women. "I'm doing pretty well, once I got through the morning sickness things got a lot better." Ellen confessed, although none of us had been unaware of that issue. Courtney hadn't been afflicted but apparently Ellen had suffered through it enough for the both of them. Now, she had made it through that phase of the pregnancy and was looking and feeling a lot better than she had three months earlier. "Any thoughts of you and Pete getting married?" Alex asked as the conversation had slowed a bit. "I don't know, maybe. We talked about it some but it's not like either of us thinks we have to right away." "And what about you Travis? When are you going to make Courtney an honest woman?" Liz said with a smile, causing the other three to chuckle at her words. They were all looking at me, I thought Liz's comment was meant to bust on me but now I wasn't quite so sure. Sometimes I didn't know how these women thought, perhaps there was a conspiracy among them that I wasn't aware of or perhaps one or more of them felt obligated to make me commit to something. "I've always thought she's pretty honest. You know something I don't?" I said, trying to deflect the conversation in a different direction. "Okay Travis, stop dancing around the issue. Are you and Courtney ever going to get married?" Liz said as she looked directly into my eyes. I wasn't sure why it was so important to her, I didn't think it had ever been that critical in the past but apparently now she thought it was. "Why should he marry her when she's already in his bed and sleeping with him every night?" Alex inserted her own comments, surprising me as well as Liz. "I can't believe you just said that Alex. If Pete and Ellen are going to get married, why not Travis and Courtney? What do you think about this Cort, you haven't said anything yet." "He hasn't asked me!" Was the only thing Courtney said, she had a sly smile on her face that I couldn't really read. I was starting to get uncomfortable here, not that I had any problems marrying Courtney, but I just didn't understand the purpose of this entire conversation. "Okay Travis, this is your chance. Are you going to ask her?" Liz demanded. "Yeah Travis, what's it going to be?" Ellen added, she hadn't said too much up until now. I wasn't sure what to say, two of the women apparently wanted me to make a decision right here and now. I wasn't certain what Alex was thinking, she hadn't really said anything but I had no doubt she would if asked. Of course, asking my sister what I should do probably wasn't going to win me any points with any of these women here. I couldn't tell from Courtney, she still had that same sly smile on her face and I think she was starting to enjoy my discomfort. "And just why are you two so anxious for me to ask Courtney to marry me?" I asked, deciding I would try to turn the tables. "You've been sleeping with her and she just had your baby. Don't you think that's enough? Besides, she wants to get married but doesn't have the guts to tell you that's what she wants." I had never thought Courtney wouldn't have the courage to say or do anything, but Liz's words shocked me. They also seemed to surprise Courtney, or at least embarrassed the hell out of her. She stared at Liz with a look of indignation on her face as she blushed a deep red. "Come on Cort, there's no need to be upset. We all know, Travis is the only one around here who's too slow to understand this. If he's not going to ask you, why don't you ask him instead?" My sister decided it was her turn to speak. Now Courtney was looking at Alex, the three women who had been ganging up on me were now directing their attention toward Courtney. The two of us looked at each other and for a moment it was as though each of us was trying to outwait the other. Finally as though on cue, each of us just simply asked the other "want to?" "What the hell was that?" Liz asked as Courtney and I were laughing at her words. "You wanted us to agree to get married, what more do you expect?" I said. "I expect you to get down on your knee and ask for her hand in marriage." "Good luck with that." Courtney offered her own opinion, she knew me well enough to know that although I might be romantic enough to do that at some point, I wasn't going to be shamed into it in front of these women right here and now. "She's right Liz. At least they made a decision." The three of them were now happy, apparently they had gotten what they wanted although I still wasn't certain why it had to be right now. During the entire conversation Alexandra had been lying in her seat with a pacifier in her mouth as she kicked her feet and waved her small hands around in the air without a concern in the world. ***** Courtney and I had decided to wed, although neither of us would agree to a huge ceremony that the other three women would have preferred. If it were up to us, we would just head into town to find the Justice of the Peace and have the thing taken care of one afternoon but that wasn't going to be sufficient either. In the end we decided it would be a small ceremony with only a few family and friends but enough to satisfy the desires of Liz, Ellen and Alex. Because we didn't want the huge wedding we decided that sooner would be better than later and things worked out that everyone could get together about one month from now. I didn't think there would be a lot of preparation but apparently the others did and they set about taking care of everything they thought needed to be done. The one requirement they had of me was that I show up when and where I was told, beyond that I wouldn't be involved at all. I've always suspected that the actual wedding ceremony wasn't really intended for the bride and groom, but rather for the family and friends and from everything that seemed to go on over the next month I think my thoughts about that were correct. They wanted me in a tuxedo and Courtney needed a dress, not just a dress but a wedding gown. There were fittings and then the other women had to choose their own dresses. Because it was going to be a small ceremony there wouldn't be the traditional bridesmaids and groomsmen but that didn't seem to matter to them. The four of them took an entire weekend and went to Dallas, I had no idea where but apparently they tried on a lot of clothes and came back with a car loaded down with boxes and bags. Much as I had wanted a simple ceremony, I could see things starting to creep out of control. Nothing terrible, but still it seemed as if my own concerns were being edged out by what the other women all wanted for us. In the beginning Courtney and I had been in agreement on a small intimate ceremony, but as the time passed she was starting to get into it more so and I think the excitement of the other three had been contagious enough that she started to let them dictate more and more of what our wedding was going to be. The day was getting close and although I wasn't particularly nervous, I did have some apprehension about what to expect. I wasn't worried about getting married, as far as I was concerned other than the legal commitment I didn't feel any differently about Courtney and I didn't think she felt any differently about me. The wedding was going to be on Saturday and what was originally scheduled for the courthouse had been moved to a small church. The church was bigger than the courthouse and as the guest list had grown, the need for bigger accommodations made the change necessary. Alex was to be Courtney's maid of honor and my friend Pete would be the best man. We hadn't intended for things to get as involved, but Courtney's father decided he wanted to give away his only daughter although he and Courtney's mother had been rather cool to me when they first found that she was pregnant and we had no plans to marry. Once the wedding had been announced, they started to warm to me but I knew it would take a little bit of time before we could really consider them as family, or at least me. Courtney hadn't seen them often since she had left home, even though she said it was more lack of time than any desire not to have more contact with them. The ceremony had become involved enough that the minister decided we would need at least one rehearsal, something that was taken care of on Friday afternoon. Once that was over the mandatory rehearsal dinner was held at a local restaurant before everyone went home to get ready for the big day tomorrow. Liz and Ellen were staying over with us, they wanted to make absolutely certain that nothing went wrong. I didn't know what could possibly go wrong, but I think I was still hoping things would be quick and easy but I knew that concept had disappeared a month ago. Still, it was nice having them in the house and we enjoyed sitting around and talking about old times until late into the evening. Alexandra had been put down several hours earlier, we had converted the guest room into her bedroom now that she was able to sleep through the night without needing to be fed or changed. Carmelita's old room was now the guest room, she had decided she would be unable to come back to work for us and although Alex and I missed her, we understood her reasons. The house was quiet as each of us went to our rooms, Alex to hers with Liz and Ellen sharing the guest room. I remembered back to the first time Courtney had found her way into my bed and hearing Liz and Ellen engaging in their own carnal activities and wondered if that might happen again tonight. I couldn't worry about that, Courtney would be in my bed again tonight and this would be our final night together before we got married. I knew once we got married we would fall into the stereotypical married couple behavior, straight missionary sex once a week, whether we needed it or not. Okay, maybe we would need it and probably more often than once a week. "Are you ready for this babe?" I asked Courtney as she snuggled up next to me in bed. "Yes, I am. You know I love you and we didn't have to do this, but I do appreciate that you did." she said as she started teasing my ear with her tongue. "You know I'd do anything for you. If this is what you truly want, then I want it too." I answered as I turned onto my side and pulled her against me. "You know this is our last night together as single people, should we make it a memorable one?" Courtney echoed what I had been thinking a little earlier. "I don't know how it can be any more memorable than any other night with you, but we can always try." "You say the nicest things to me Travis." Courtney said softly before placing her lips on mine and starting a passionate kiss. We kissed softly and slowly rubbed ourselves against the other for several minutes. It was arousing and comfortable at the same time. We had been spending time in bed together for more than a year now, the time had passed amazingly quickly. I knew tomorrow would feel no different than today, but I knew how much it meant to Courtney and as I had said to her, I was willing to do anything to make her happy. Right now, making her happy involved pushing my hard cock into her pussy which by now was hot, wet and waiting for something to fill it. I rolled Courtney onto her back and got atop her, she spread her legs and I knew exactly where to put my cock so it would find a home inside of her. I slid in easily, we were well practiced and soon we had found our rhythm together. It was slow and easy, we had all night and each of us knew we were going to enjoy this. "I hope you like it this way, you know once we're married it always has to be missionary and in the dark, right?" I kidded into Courtney's ear, she was giggling at the thought. I was surprised when she pushed me off of her, next thing I knew I was lying beside her and my other head was wondering what had happened to the warm and wet pussy that had been caressing it so lovingly only seconds earlier. Travis's Tale Ch. 04 "If that's what married life is going to be, then maybe we need to do something else before that happens." Courtney said suggestively, I could feel her turning onto her stomach and then getting up onto her hands and knees. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what she was doing and what she expected of me. I got onto my knees and using my hands to guide me, found her hips and moved behind her. She still had some of the baby weight that she hadn't yet worked off, but I only thought it made her look sexy. Most of what had been in her abdomen had been gone but the remaining weight she carried in her hips and her breasts. Right now my target was between those hips, she was wiggling her ass back at me and although not saying it directly, she was inviting me to enter her once again. I wasn't going to disappoint, I moved close and with a little minor fumbling, the head of my cock again found her entrance and soon was back in that warm and wet place. We found a rhythm again, each time I would thrust in Courtney would push back against me until my crotch would slap against her ass cheeks. I was holding onto her hips as we moved together in perfect harmony, I wasn't worried at all this would be the last time we would make love in this position. As I Stroked in slowly, I started rubbing her back and then moving my hands down to cup her ass cheeks before moving back up and rubbing her back to her neck. She was moaning and purring, I knew she liked it and I don't think it was just the massage that was making her sigh with pleasure. I reached forward and lay across her back and wrapped my arms around her, allowing her hanging tits to fall into each of my hands. They hadn't lost any of their size, Courtney was still nursing our daughter and I could feel the slight dampness emerge from each of her nipples as I started massaging her milk filled breasts. "Fuck me Travis! Fuck me long and hard!" Courtney ordered, her tone and her words surprised me although I could understand why as I felt her arousal increasing with each passing minute. I did as she requested, I started pushing in harder and faster and each time my cock bottomed out inside of her I would hear her grunt her pleasure. We were connected as much as we could be, my cock was inside of her pussy and our entire bodies were pressed against each other back to front. I could feel her warmth and as I wrapped myself around her, I knew the love we shared was adding to the feeling for each of us. We continued to move like this for another 10 minutes, even though I was doing my best to bring her to climax she kept fighting it off as she enjoyed the climb. I had to hold back myself, I didn't want to come too quickly and then not be able to bring Courtney to her own orgasm. We were each working to prolong the other's pleasure and at the same time that enabled each of us to increase our own. Finally neither of us could hold out any longer, I felt the head of my cock swelling inside of Courtney and soon I was filling her to overflowing with my hot semen. She had stopped pushing back against me, she was holding herself motionless except for the trembling of her body as she hung her head toward the mattress with her mouth open in a silent scream. She had always been vocal in the past but had started to control her vocalizations when Alexandra was sleeping in our room and now that Alexandra was gone, Courtney had maintained the habit. Probably just as well that she not wake others in the house although I had no doubt each and every one of them knew exactly what was going on in our room. I continued holding her for several minutes longer, the tremors and spasms I felt inside of her pussy helped to maintain my cock in a semi erect state but soon I wilted enough that it fell out on its own and Courtney had returned her breathing and heart rate to normal. I would've liked to keep going like this all night and I think Courtney would've joined me, but each of us was drained from the sexual activity and also the wedding preparations had taken their toll on us. ***** I had been more tired than I thought, it was light out when I awoke. There was enough light coming in through the skylight to see what was going on in the bedroom but right now even with my eyes closed, I didn't need to see. I felt my morning wood sliding into her wet pussy, soon I was completely buried as the weight settled onto my crotch. My cock was intimately familiar with Courtney's pussy and this wasn't it. Suddenly my eyes jerked open, I wasn't sure what was happening. "Good morning Travis." Ellen said as she settled herself onto my cock. "Ellen? What are you doing in here?" I asked, my mind was still fuzzy from sleep. "I think it's pretty obvious Travis, I'm riding your cock." She said with a giggle. "I can see that Ellen, I mean I'm supposed to get married today. You and Pete are, well, I mean I don't understand." I was really confused, Courtney had been in bed with me last night and I assumed she was in the house somewhere. And Ellen was now about seven months pregnant with my friend Pete's baby. I looked down at her stomach and yeah I was right, the bulge was there even bigger than it had been last time I saw her and her breasts were hanging down heavy onto that bulge. "This is our last chance Travis, this is something I've wanted for a long time." Ellen's words reminded me of the pact the four women had made with each other, that one day each of them would sleep with me. So far Courtney, Liz and Alex had done so and now apparently Ellen was going to take her turn as well. "What about Courtney and Pete?" I asked Ellen as she was starting to slide herself up and down my cock. "Are they doing this too?" Ellen said with a hearty laugh, I don't think she was taking this nearly as seriously as I was right now. "You know what I mean Ellen. Does Pete know about this?" I asked, that's not something I wanted my best friend to find out about. "I'm not going to tell him but if you want to, I guess you can." She said without slowing down her movements. She was moving a little more slowly than she might have but I could understand with the extra weight she was carrying low in her belly. Still, she was managing to slide up and down and at the same time I could feel just how tight her pussy was. She had always been shorter and more slightly built than the other three women so it didn't surprise me my cock would fill her more than it filled Courtney or the other two. I had to forget comparisons, right now Ellen was the one riding me, and I knew even if maybe I should have, I wasn't going to throw her off. First, I never would do that for fear of hurting her but at the same time with a little bit of thought I realized the other three women were probably in the house somewhere. If they were in the house, they knew exactly what was going on in this bedroom. Since none of them had done or said anything, I knew Ellen had their implicit if not explicit permission to be doing what she was doing. Apparently she was bound and determined that all four of them would fulfill their part of the pact and I guess with my impending marriage today, she decided she didn't want to fool around with a married man. That thought was a little strange, maybe it wasn't accurate but I couldn't think of any other reason why she might think today would be her last chance. "Just lay back and relax Travis, let me do all the work here." She said as she continued sliding her self up and down my cock. I could see it was an effort for her, I knew the increasing weight had been making her tired over the past few weeks. I remembered back a few months before when Courtney had been the one riding my cock, her bulging belly hanging down onto my abdomen as she moved. Just like with Courtney, I ran my hands over Ellen's belly and felt its warmth and then reached farther up and toyed with her nipples which were getting bigger just as the rest of her was. Ellen grinned at my touch, she was moaning and urged me to continue my fondling. "That feels good Travis, my tits are really sore now that they're getting bigger. Keep playing with them, it really turns me on." "Just tell me what you want Ellen, let me know what I can do to make you feel good." I said, I had lost any uncertainty I had before about what we were doing. "Right now I feel good just sliding up and down your cock, but I might get tired soon. If I do I'll let you know, then you can help me more." She said as she leaned down and put her hands on my chest, allowing her breasts to fall toward my face. She was using her arms to leverage her pussy up and down on my cock but each time she moved her breasts swayed back and forth right across my face and it didn't take much effort on my part to take a nipple into my mouth. "That's it Travis, suck on them. Suck on them and make me feel what it's like to nurse a baby. It makes me so hot when I see Courtney feeding Alexandra. I'll bet she feeds you too, doesn't she?" "Yes Ellen, Courtney feeds me too." I said, letting go her nipple long enough to answer her question before going back to suckling. I could feel a shiver run through Ellen as I said the words, her pussy gripped my cock and gave it a good squeeze before she resumed her sliding and rocking. I switched tits, giving the other nipple the same attention I had given the first and Ellen was moaning more vocally now. She couldn't lean over as far as she liked because of her belly, but the breasts were large enough she wasn't having any trouble at all dragging them across my face. "I'm getting tired here Travis, I'm going to need some help." Ellen said after several more minutes. She had stopped her movements and was now sitting up straight, looking at me with arousal but I could see the fatigue on her face. "What can I do for you Ellen?" I asked, I was gently rubbing her thighs and hips as she sat motionless atop me. "I want you on top of me, but my belly is too big if I'm on my back. How about if I kneel down and you slide your cock in from behind me?" That wouldn't be a problem, I had just done the same with Courtney a few hours earlier although I'm not sure Ellen needed to know that. "It's not a problem Ellen, let me know what I can do to help." I reassured her. Ellen pushed up off me slowly, raising herself with her thighs and then swinging a leg over and then flopping down on the bed beside me. She was lying on her back and breathing hard and I knew she had put a lot of effort into what she had already done. I knew how hard this was on her, I had seen Courtney just like this and we had each adjusted our sex life to compensate. I rolled onto my side and started toying with Ellen's breasts and rubbing her belly, giving her several minutes to catch her breath as she smiled at me gratefully. "Thanks Travis, I feel better now. Shall we get going again?" I had to chuckle, Ellen was bound and determined to see this through. I'm not sure exactly how much of her arousal she had lost by taking a break, but I didn't think it would take too long to get it back either. "Give me your hand here and I'll help you to roll over. Let me know when you're ready, I don't want to hurt you." I said to Ellen as I offered her my hand and helped her roll onto her side and then get to her knees. Soon she was in position, she was looking back over her shoulder as I got myself into position behind her. "Are you ready?" I asked, but I could already see the look on her face that told me she was waiting impatiently for me to impale her on my stiff cock. I took it in my hand and ran it through her pussy lips several times, she had lost a little of her wetness but not a lot. With my cock head now coated with her wetness, it went in easily and soon I felt her ass cheeks pressing against my crotch. Ellen had been holding herself up on her forearms but dropped her head and shoulders to the mattress, although her ass was still up in the air invitingly as I started sliding in and out of her. "You can give it to me hard Travis, you're not going to hurt the baby." Ellen said as I was moving in and out of her with a slow rhythm. I picked up my pace, I hadn't really been thinking about that but at the same time I did realize she was smaller than Courtney had been. It had never been a problem with Courtney and now I started slamming into Ellen with long and hard strokes. She had regained enough of her breath to start moaning more loudly, she was demanding I give it to her hard and there was no doubt that everyone in the house could hear her. In fact, I had realized several minutes earlier that the other three of them were in the kitchen talking. The smell of coffee let me know they were probably having breakfast and perhaps they were even discussing what we might be doing but so far none had made an appearance in this room. I didn't expect to see any of them, I'm not sure how Ellen might've felt about that but I think the three of them knew just how badly Ellen wanted this. Several months earlier Liz had been disappointed when she thought she might be the last of the four to sleep with me, but at that point I had slept with all of them but Ellen. Alex had told me I would eventually sleep with her and I hadn't believed her, but now I realized that Alex had been right. Something about these four women confused me but I knew that trying to figure it out would only confuse me all the more. Besides, right now I had something more important to concentrate my attention on. I lay down across Ellen's back just as I had done to Courtney last night, her breasts were just as large as Courtney's and I had no doubt they soon would be filled with milk. Right now Ellen had told me how sore they were as they were getting larger and I did my best to squeeze and massage them gently, I didn't want to hurt her but the way she was moaning and sighing at my touch I knew nothing I did was hurting her. I had shortened my stroke while sliding in and out even though I was pounding hard. Ellen was grunting in between her size and moans, I could tell she was getting closer to her release. The wetness that originally coded my cock was getting more copious, I could feel it running out and down my balls each time I slid out before readying myself for the next thrust into her pussy. Without warning Ellen tensed up, her pussy muscles gripped my cock so firmly I was unable to pull out. She was shuddering and shaking, her body convulsing but she uttered not a sound. I remembered back to the time when Liz and I had watched Pete taking her from behind at the Christmas party and although I hadn't noticed it at the time, neither of them had made a sound as they came. Maybe it was just because they didn't want anyone else to know what they were doing but Ellen was totally silent as she came on my cock. I could feel her pussy getting hotter as the liquid inside of her started running out around my cock, this time it was coming out on its own without my cock pulling it out. I had been close myself and after several more convulsions I was able to slide my cock out several inches before pushing back in hard. The friction was even greater but I was bound and determined to keep going. Despite wanting to continue as long as possible, the increased pressure and friction her pussy muscles were causing brought me to my own release, I was shooting multiple hot Jets into her which only increased the convulsions she was having. I wrapped myself around her more tightly, I could feel her entire body trembling as she rode out her orgasm. I had pushed in as far as possible, my cock was as deep inside of her as it could go. I stopped pushing, and soon my cock finished pulsing inside of her. We lay together like this for several minutes, I probably couldn't have pulled out if I wanted. Ellen was breathing hard through her mouth as she tried to calm and I could sense the shudders and tremors starting to diminish slowly. After several more minutes she pushed up onto her forearms and crawled forward the few inches it took for my cock to fall out. We were each breathing hard, I was sitting on my knees looking at Ellen's bare ass as she had once again fallen onto the mattress with her torso. I could see my fluid starting to ooze out, her pussy lips were twitching and fluttering rhythmically as her body was still coming down from her climax. "Why don't you two get a shower and then get something to eat." I heard Alex say from the kitchen, I had no idea how she might know we had finished. "Can you give me a hand up off this bed Travis?" Ellen asked as she rolled over onto her back. I had gotten up off the bed and reached out a hand to her, she swung her legs off the mattress and then I helped her to stand. She was a little shaky on her feet but after a few seconds she regained her balance and stood facing me. "Thanks Travis. This means a lot to me. I guess you know we all had an agreement, maybe you didn't agree with it but I appreciate what you did for me. Damn, this stuff is running down my leg. Shall we get a shower?" It was surreal, once again I was wondering what went through the minds of these four women. I decided not to worry, I probably never would completely understand. "I think we need to go into Alex's bathroom, it's bigger than the one in the hallway. Just lead the way." I suggested to Ellen. We walked naked from my room into Alex's to get a shower, I glanced over at the three of them sitting in the kitchen and saw they were all grinning broadly and chuckling at me as Ellen and I headed toward the shower. I adjusted the water and we got in, it was a little strange with Ellen here instead of Courtney but we managed. I washed her off and in the process got a good feel of her breasts and belly, even though I had just done so not long before. She took extra care to make certain my cock was completely clean and although it was mostly hard when we finished, she didn't give it any more attention after the shower. By the time we had dressed and gotten into the kitchen to eat, my Boner had subsided and everything looked normal. It'd been a strange morning and it was then I remembered that I was supposed to get married later that day. Yes indeed, a very strange morning. ***** The wedding was scheduled for 2 o'clock so the rest of the morning was devoted to the women scurrying around getting hair and makeup taken care of and then getting into dresses. They had gone way over what I would've expected, apparently their days of shopping in Dallas had been more than successful. I thought they all looked great, but Courtney was way over the top. I knew she was a beautiful woman but with hair done and her face tastefully made up, the dress she had chosen only accentuated her natural beauty all the more. The other three weren't any slouches either, even Ellen with her large belly looked amazing. Soon it was time to leave for town, the five of us plus Alexandra wouldn't fit into a single car so Alex and I drove in mine as the other three took Alex's. Alexandra was in the backseat with Courtney, she was happily cooing and doing baby things not knowing that today was any different than any other. We got to the church and went in, there were a number of people milling about and the feeling of excitement started to grow. I didn't know why, I figured a few people would say a few things, we would each exchange our vows and that would be the end of it. Of course, nothing had gone the way I had expected it during the entire last month and so there was no reason to think today would be any different. As we entered, Pete came over and gave Ellen a big hug and kiss before turning to me to shake my hand. He was going to be my best man and I felt strange knowing that only six hours earlier my cock had been buried inside of the woman who was carrying his child. I glanced at Ellen for any reaction, but I saw nothing on her face to indicate she was embarrassed by what we had done or that Pete would ever know. I'm not sure it was regret about what we had done, but I did know that if Ellen had not initiated the act this morning it never would have happened. I had to forget that, soon the ceremony would start and all my attention would be on my bride. Travis's Tale Ch. 05 "You look awfully nervous there Pete, are you sure about this?" I asked as I could see the perspiration forming on his forehead. "I've had people shoot at me and gotten in the middle of more than a few domestic incidents, but I don't think I've ever been as nervous as I am right now." He answered, pulling out a handkerchief and wiping his forehead. "It's not that bad Pete, I'm sure everything's going to go well." I offered, trying to calm some of his nervousness. "I know you're right Travis, but this is just something so new to me. I only hope I don't screw it up." He answered with a nervous laugh. We were standing here in the courthouse, Pete and Ellen were going to be married in a few short minutes. The judge and the court clerk were taking care of last-minute paperwork and before much longer he and his future wife would be standing in front of the judge, reciting their wedding vows. The women were all gathered around Ellen, I was wondering if she might be expressing the same nervous concerns that Pete was although I didn't think either of them was likely to chicken out. I was going to be standing for my friend Pete and Lizzie would do the same for Ellen. Courtney and Alex were here to watch and Courtney would be taking care of our daughter Alexandra. It was only going to be a small informal wedding, both Pete and Ellen had been able to control the exuberance of the others at least for the time. They had agreed to a larger, more formal wedding several months in the future but for right now a simple civil ceremony was all either one of them wanted. The judge finished his work and called everyone together, Pete and I walked over in front of his desk as did Ellen and Lizzie. We were each wearing a suit and the women were all wearing summery blouses and skirts. As I said, it wasn't an overly formal ceremony and I didn't expect it would take very long. I was right, the judge offered a few words of advice before going through the formalities of asking each of them to commit to the other before he pronounced them man and wife. Once done with that we all had to sign some papers and then the women all rushed at Ellen and I gave Pete a firm handshake, offering him my wishes for a long and happy life with his new wife. "You look like you're just about ready to pop Ellen." Alex commented as we were gathered around offering congratulations. "Today I'm officially 2 days past my due date." Ellen responded, smiling at the expression on Alex's face. "Nothing like waiting to the last minute, how are you feeling?" Alex queried her. "Other than feeling like a whale with this huge belly, I really don't feel all that bad." Ellen answered, she didn't seem to be overly concerned that she could potentially go into labor at any moment. "Courtney and I have talked quite a bit recently, I think I'm as ready as I'm going to get. Of course, Pete was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I can't belch or fart without him ready to rush me to the emergency room." "I'm sure he'll be fine, he's probably seen this with other women more than once. It's just going to be a little different when it's his own wife, not some stranger." Alex suggested. "I'm not worried at all, I just want this thing over with..." Ellen added, chuckling more openly now. ***** Once the short ceremony was over, we all got into cars and headed back to the ranch. We were going to have a little get together there, nothing fancy, just a chance to hang out and relax. Pete and Ellen had decided to postpone their honeymoon for one obvious reason. They had decided they would wait until their formal wedding ceremony and then go on a more extended trip but for right now coming to our place to hang out for a few hours seemed a reasonable option. When we got to the ranch there was a catering truck parked in the drive, right beside JoAnn's pickup. She hadn't been invited to the wedding since it was only a small group of close friends but I had asked her to meet the caterer at the house while we were gone, I don't think Ellen or Pete would object to her coming to the party. As we entered the house, we could smell the odor of food, it wasn't going to be a fancy meal but I had asked for shrimp and ribs and various other summertime delicacies. As I came into the house I could see 2 young women wearing the same dress with a catering company's logo on the left breast. Each was Mexican and appeared to be in her mid-20s. They continued with their tasks in the kitchen as the rest of us came in and sat for a few minutes before we would go out to the pool area. I took a minute to thank JoAnn for coming over and assisting the caterers, I knew she was still hurting due to the separation from her husband. I didn't think I could fix that, but for the time we all had done what we could to offer our sympathy and try to take her mind off of things. "How did the ceremony go?" She asked me as I went over to speak with her. "Nothing to it. It was quick and easy and except for a lot of nervousness from both Pete and Ellen, everything went off without a hitch." "I don't see what they had to be nervous about, I think they already got the honeymoon out of the way first." She giggled as she looked at Ellen's belly, Ellen was holding each of her hands under her stomach as though supporting it. She didn't seem to be uncomfortable at least not that I could see, but knowing how Courtney had felt the last few weeks of her own pregnancy I could completely understand. "Okay everybody, let's go outside and find a seat." Alex had taken charge, she was getting pretty good at this. We all stood and filed out the door, JoAnn and the caterers had already set things up so there were plenty of chairs available along with an extra table and the umbrella. Everyone found seats and sat, it didn't take long before the 2 caterers came out asking about drinks and at the same time setting trays of finger food onto each of the tables. We had given up drinking liquor in deference to Ellen's pregnancy, although I don't think she would've been tempted if anyone had decided to have anything stronger than soda. No one did even though liquor was available in the house if someone had wanted it. JoAnn had helped the caterers for several minutes but left them to their own devices, they seemed to be perfectly capable of doing the job they had been hired to do. We also had one newcomer, Liz had started seeing one of Pete's officers from the police department, a young man named Kevin. They had been out a few times and Liz had told me he was fun to be with but wasn't sure the relationship would last. "He's nice enough and I like him, but I get the feeling he's just looking for a good time for right now. I guess I shouldn't complain, I am too but one of these days I need to find someone I can settle down with. You know, like you and Cort or Pete and Ellen." Liz seemed a bit sad with the last sentence, but then brightened again not wanting to burden anyone else with an issue she would have to sort out on her own. I was more than happy to lend an ear and I'm sure she could've spoken to any of the other women but for right now she decided to make up her own mind. She was a smart woman and I had no doubt she would figure it out. "Can I talk to you about something Travis?" Pete asked, indicating he'd like to speak more privately without others hearing for the time being at least. "Sure Pete, what is it?" I answered. We walked away from the group for a few minutes and I had to wonder what was on his mind. "I've decided to take a position with the Attorney General's office. It took a lot of thought, but after we sorted out that group of wackos they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It's going to mean we will have to move to Austin, I know Ellen has mixed feelings about it too. By the way, I really need to thank you again for that list of names you gave me." "I'm sure we are all going to miss you, especially the girls. It does sound like a good opportunity for you though, I'm sure you've given it a lot of thought." I replied. "Yes, we discussed it quite a bit and although the decision was a tough one, like I said, I think I'm going to accept the position. Ellen will be able to get a job there without too much trouble so that's not going to be an issue." "Have you told any of the others yet?" I asked. "We were planning to do that this afternoon, not that it's really that big of a secret. What I really wanted to talk to you about is something a little different. Once I get settled into the job I've given some thought to running for the legislature. I know I never would've thought about that a couple of years ago but right now I think I have a lot to offer the people of Texas. I was hoping you might be willing to support me if I decide to go through with this." "You can count on me for anything Pete, you know that. Just let me know what I can do, I can give you an endorsement and I can donate to your campaign if you want me to do that too." Pete and I had been friends since the 4th grade and I knew he was a man of character and integrity. He would make a good addition to the state legislature should he decide to do so and I wouldn't have a bit of trouble supporting him just as I had told him. "Thanks Travis, that means a lot. I'm still not sure about the elected part but it's good to know I can count on you if I do make that decision." We had been sitting around and making small talk for about an hour before the caterers decided it was time to serve the main food. Everyone took seats as the girls brought out platters of ribs and shrimp, corn on the cob and mountains of baked goods. The talking ceased and eating began. After everyone had eaten their fill, the women cleared the tables and started cleaning up as we again got back to Small talk and general socializing. Everyone was congratulating Pete on his new job, Ellen had spread the word as we were eating and as Pete had said, it wasn't a secret but they hadn't said anything to anyone before today either. Neither of them said anything about the possibility of running for elected office so I decided to keep that information to myself. After eating all that food I felt the need to stand and move around. I think the rest of us had that same thought right about the same time since most of the guests were now standing and socializing rather than sitting back in the chairs under the umbrella. It was a hot day but there was a slight breeze blowing which made being here poolside halfway comfortable. It was a nice day with good friends and everyone was enjoying the afternoon. I was standing and talking to Pete, asking him if he was still as nervous as he had been before the ceremony. "That was kind of foolish, wasn't it?" He laughed. "I don't know, it's a big step. I know when I did it I had a few moments of wondering why but in the end it all worked out. Courtney and I can't be happier and even though we really didn't need a ring and the ceremony, I think it has helped us to officially commit ourselves to the other." "Yeah, I think it's going to make things a little bit better. Not that they haven't been great, but I got the feeling in the back of my mind that Ellen really wanted the ring. I think her parents wanted it for her too, although neither of them said anything to me directly." He confessed to me. "Been there! Courtney's parents weren't the happiest when they found out she was pregnant and we weren't planning to get married. They've gotten a little friendlier since the wedding but still not what I would think of as ultra-social." I made my own confession. "Cannonball!" It was Ellen's voice, I had last heard her yelling that phrase several months earlier when we were out here skinny-dipping in the pool and she had jumped in with that same cry. At that time she was only 7 months pregnant but Pete still had a hard time accepting that she had done it. This time, I saw his face go white as he whirled to see what she was doing. What she was doing was laughing hysterically as she saw the shocked look on his face. "Gotcha!" She laughed, holding her belly as she did so. "I can't believe you would even think about that." Was all that Pete could say. "How long have you known me and you still don't understand my sense of humor?" She said, trying to hold back more laughs as I could see a tear running out of the corner of her eye. "What am I going to do with you?" He said, starting to loosen up a little bit. "How about you come into the pool with me?" Ellen suggested, starting to unbutton her blouse. "Ellen!" Pete was stunned, so stunned he couldn't move but his words had no effect on her as she had removed her blouse and was shimmying out of the skirt she had been wearing. She stood there looking at him wearing only some massive maternity undergarments, the same type I had seen Courtney where months earlier. Without waiting for him to respond, she soon had stripped naked and was walking toward the pool. "Don't you dare think of jumping in!" Pete had found his voice. "No dear, I'm going to walk in. Now, why don't you get out of your clothes to join me here in the water!" Ellen said to Pete as she continued walking toward the steps and then down into the water. Pete was standing there stunned, the rest of us were looking at him to see if he was going to do as she had asked. "Anybody else coming in?" Ellen said from the water, it was just above her belly with her now enlarged breasts almost floating atop it. It didn't surprise me, Alex was the first to follow and soon she too was naked although she jumped into the water instead of wading in as Ellen had. It didn't take long before Lizzie followed their lead and soon there were 3 naked women in the water while Pete was still trying to decide what he was going to do. "Here Travis, hold your daughter." Courtney said to me as she placed Alexandra into my arms. I shouldn't have been surprised, as soon as I was holding the little girl Courtney was stripping off her own clothing, soon she too was naked and had joined the others in the pool. Pete was looking at me as though he wanted me to make the decision for him. That was something that I wouldn't do, it was going to have to be his own choice. I think his Deputy Kevin was having the same issues although he didn't seem to have any problems looking at the naked women who were floating around in the pool. Pete had seen all the women naked in the past, he had been here a few times although most times they were merely topless rather than totally nude. He had never joined them, not even taking off his shirt. I was surprised when he started unbuttoning his shirt now, I wondered how far he would strip down but then again, if he took off something he'd likely have to take off everything if he intended to join the women in the water. Pete was down to his boxers, I could see they were silk with little hearts on them. I was going to say something but then I remembered today was his wedding day and he probably had planned for Ellen to be the only one to see them later this evening. Still, I filed the info away in the back of my mind just because. He had stripped down to his boxers rather quickly but seemed to be having a bit of hesitation when the time came to remove them. I could remember the first time I was in this position with all the women waiting for me to remove my own underwear and I could completely understand his hesitance. He took a deep breath and pulled down, releasing his pecker from the confines of his boxers and quickly dove into the water. I don't know if he thought the water would provide much cover, but he certainly wasn't ready to stand there and allow everyone to see him on display. As Pete had been stripping down I noticed his Deputy Kevin was doing the same, he was a bit nervous about removing his clothing in front of the others but soon he too was naked and joining the rest of them in the water. "I'll hold her if you want to join the others Travis." JoAnn offered as I had been sitting there casually playing with my daughter. I hadn't even thought about her but she was still dressed as she had been since we arrived. "Thanks Jo, but I think I'll sit this one out for a little while at least. You can join them if you want, you know it's been a long time since I saw you wearing anything except your bikini bottoms." I chuckled, it was true I normally saw her wearing a lot less than she was today. She smiled at the words, she knew exactly what I was referring to. "I think I just might. If you're sure you don't want me to hold her for a while I think I am going to get some time in the water." She answered as she started unbuttoning her own blouse. It didn't take her nearly as long as it did Kevin and Pete to completely disrobe, her clothes were on the chair next to me and she was in the water about a minute later. I was just sitting there contemplating life, tickling my daughter and drinking a can of Coke when I saw 2 more naked forms run across the concrete and jump into the pool. It surprised me but then I realized it was the catering girls. They didn't seem to have any issues with being naked in front of the rest of us, they were splashing and swimming around in the pool as though this was a normal part of their daily activity. I hadn't given a lot of thought while they were clothed, but each of them was very attractive during the brief flash I had of them as they ran toward the water. I knew I would get a better look when they got out, they couldn't stay in there forever. ***** Everyone stayed in the pool for about an hour before deciding it was time to get out. It was late evening although the sun was still another 2 hours before setting. I had thought of stripping down and taking Alexandra into the shallow end but just decided to sit back and watch. I didn't see any signs of overt sexual activity, just a lot of people having a good time although everyone was naked as they enjoyed themselves. I did notice, however, that Kevin seemed to be devoting more of his time to the 2 Mexican caterers than he was to Lizzie. Lizzie noticed but didn't say anything, I think she was having more doubts about seeing him much longer. I was sorry about that, she was a beautiful woman and fun to be with and I thought she deserved something better than that. Still, it wasn't my responsibility to manage her social life and I had no doubt that one day she would find what she was looking for. As people started getting out slowly, I had the opportunity to check everyone as they emerged. I had seen all of the women but for the catering girls and as I had suspected, each was very attractive as she got out. Neither seemed particularly embarrassed to be naked, they stood around talking to several of the others without dressing. Soon they had to leave, I guess they needed to get the truck back to the shop and finish up their job. It looked obvious that Kevin was sad to see them go but I suspect this would not be the last time he saw one or both of them again. I looked at Lizzie as she was watching the 3 of them say goodbye, I could see the sadness on her face and then she looked in my direction and we shared a brief moment of empathy. I made a note that I would spend extra time with her shortly, I thought she would need a little cheering up. Pete and Ellen each got out and dressed, they were heading back to Pete's place where they expected to stay until it would be time for Ellen to make a visit to the hospital. Everyone wished them well, hoping that Ellen's labor went quickly and smoothly and expecting to hear every last detail. Soon all had departed but for Courtney and Alex, Liz and JoAnn. It was getting later and I offered an invitation to JoAnn to spend the night. She didn't object, gladly accepting and knowing she was in the company of good friends who cared deeply for her. Travis's Tale Ch. 05 We all went to bed shortly afterward, it had been an enjoyable although tiring day. Just as they had last time, Liz and JoAnn shared the guest room and it wasn't long before the muffled sounds coming from that room let the rest of us know what they were doing. I think each of them needed some comfort from the other and I was glad they were able to find it. I was in bed with Courtney and she was lying atop me, her warm body was a comfort. Her breasts were crushed between us and because of her recent pregnancy, they had grown somewhat larger than what they had been when I first met her. She had stopped breast-feeding but their size had not returned to what they had been prior to the pregnancy. I wasn't going to complain about this, even though breast size wasn't the most important thing to me in a woman. Still, I enjoyed squeezing and fondling them and would gladly have suffocated with my face buried between them if necessary. "Are you going to miss Ellen when she moves away?" I asked her as we were casually teasing each other. "Yes I will. She's been a part of us for a long time and it's going to be different with her gone." Courtney offered with a little sadness in her voice. "She's not going to be that far away. I'm sure you'll be able to talk to her and visit her on occasion, it's not as if she's moving across the country or across the world." "Yeah, I know but still it's going to be a little different until we get used to it." "Did you notice that Lizzie's boyfriend seemed a little less interested in her than he did in those 2 catering girls?" I changed the subject. "Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm not sure just how much she liked him but I think it's going to hurt her when they break up. I know she's had other boyfriends and other breakups but this one seemed a little obvious to everyone. You'd think that you would pay more attention to her at least in front of her friends." "Yeah, I could see she was upset but she didn't say anything. I think I'll give her a little bit of time and space but she's going to need some cheering up from all of us." I suggested to Courtney. "Yeah, I think we need to show her that we care for her even if the guy decided to act like a jerk." I could tell Courtney was angry, but there wasn't a lot we were going to be able to do about it right now. "We will work it out tomorrow. Right now I can think of better things to occupy our time, can you?" I said, giving her tits an extra squeeze before wrapping my arms around her and hugging her tightly to me. "Somebody's glad to see me." Courtney said with a giggle as she started rubbing her crotch against my semi-erect cock. "Why wouldn't I be glad to see you? You're a beautiful woman and my favorite wife." I answered as I slid my hands down to rest on her bare ass cheeks, pushing down and forcing her crotch harder into my erection. "You say the nicest things to me Travis..." She murmured softly shortly before finding my lips with her own. It was a wonderful feeling, a feeling that we each enjoyed regularly pretty much every night. If I actually took the time to think back several years I never would have expected to find myself here with this woman, certainly not married to her with our daughter sleeping peacefully in the next room. Yes, it was quite a change but it was a pleasant change and I wouldn't want it any differently. After an extended period of hugs and kisses, it was time for the real action to start. I rolled over until I was atop Courtney, my plan was to enter her and push her hard into the mattress. Some days she liked to be on top and in charge, and other days she wanted me to direct the action. Regardless of how we did it, the end result was well worth the effort. We resumed kissing as Courtney found herself lying beneath me, now spreading her legs and raising her knees to let me know she was ready anytime I was. Often I would spend time with my face buried between those legs but not tonight. I needed to feel her rubbing her pussy all around my cock, the sight of all those naked women in the pool earlier today had made me very horny I now realized. I hoped I wasn't denying Courtney something she might have wanted by going straight for the prize, but there would be time later. In fact, I was so anxious I didn't even lift up and use my hands to guide myself into position, I started poking at her pussy lips with my hard cock and it didn't take long for me to find a way in. I had been inside this hot pussy enough times to know the way, and tonight was no different. Courtney moaned a gutteral sound from deep within her chest as my cock slid in and bottomed out, she too enjoyed the feel of our union. She was hot and wet just as she normally was whenever we made love together. Each time I pushed in I could hear a low murmur of pleasure coming from her and each time I withdrew my hard shaft she would attempt to squeeze her pussy muscles around it and keep me in place, I could hear the effort in her breathing. She knew it was guaranteed to get me to my climax very quickly, she was just too sexy and desirable for me to last very long. I wasn't going to complain, we each knew that if she got me off too quickly we could repeat our effort and enjoy the process a second time, usually lasting much longer than the first. Even though I was worried I might come too quickly because of how horny I had been, we each managed to last for a good 10 minutes before I started to feel that tingling in my loins that signaled I was near the end. I could tell Courtney was getting near to her own climax, her moans and grunts were becoming increasingly frequent and she had lost the ability to form words several minutes earlier. It wasn't a problem, neither of us needed to speak to know we were enjoying this union. As I started to feel the burning in my balls my first reaction was to pick up my speed and slam in harder than ever but I resisted, I wanted to try to make it last a little longer if I possibly could. I kept the same pace and put most of my concentration into holding off my climax. I say most of my concentration because I was having a hard time ignoring the feel of her soft breasts against my own chest and her warm breath against my neck as we coupled. I tried hard, I really did but unfortunately my efforts at staving off the impending climax were only marginally successful. I shouldn't say unfortunately, the feeling was great and I knew that with more practice I would certainly be able to hold off even longer. I had every intention of finding time in my schedule to be certain I was able to get all of the practice I needed. ***** Courtney and I separated after several minutes to calm. We were each hot, sweaty and breathing hard but I knew from experience that Courtney had a smile on her face just as I did. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her close, we would spend a few minutes cuddling before we each drifted off to sleep. I wasn't sure if I had been asleep or for how long, but I was roused into a higher state of consciousness as I felt someone get into bed behind me. I was lying on my side with Courtney in my arms and I felt warm and naked breasts against my back. I didn't need to say anything, I knew immediately it was my sister Alex. "What are you doing here Alex?" I whispered over my shoulder, hoping not to wake Courtney. "I was a little lonely and I wanted to be close to my brother. I hope you don't mind." She answered, also whispering as I felt her moving herself even closer and molding her own body to my back. She had slept with us on several occasions, so I wasn't bothered by it. "Anytime you want some company, just let me know. I'll see you in the morning, pleasant dreams." I said softly, before closing my eyes and drifting back off to sleep. When I awoke in the morning we were all still in much the same position, I was spooned up behind Courtney with my arms wrapped around her and Alex was doing the same to me. They were each asleep as I lay there thinking how lucky I was to have these 2 women in my life. I know, I had known this feeling before but it never ceased to amaze me just how good it made me feel. I didn't want to wake either one but since I was in the middle it would be difficult to get up and out of bed without disturbing either or both of them. I had a thought about going back to sleep and allowing them to stay sleeping but I could tell from the light coming in through the skylight it was starting to get a little later in the morning. Not so late I would be in danger of missing the morning, but I wanted to go out and put in some laps in the pool since I had missed doing that for the past few days. Reluctantly I tried sliding out between them to the bottom of the bed but that didn't work and soon each of them was waking up. "Where you headed Travis?" Courtney asked as she tried suppressing a yawn. I saw her glance over to her right beyond me to see Alex but my sister's presence in the bed did not surprise her. "I'm going out to the pool to get in my morning laps. Would either of you 2 like to join me?" I asked, knowing Courtney rarely did but sometimes Alex would. "No, not this morning Travis. You go ahead and take care of what you need to, Alex and I need to get up and get showers before getting something for breakfast. We're going to go over to see Ellen and give Pete a little break. Ellen confided in me yesterday that the hormones are making her quite moody and she's afraid she's been a real bitch for the past month. She said Pete is a real sweetheart and has been putting up with a lot but I think he could use some time off so the 2 of us are going to try to keep Ellen company so Pete can get away for a few hours by himself." "You don't have to tell me, I remember just how you were the last month of your pregnancy." I kidded as I started sliding down toward the bottom of the bed again. I knew it was coming and ducked quickly as she threw a pillow at me but we each knew just how true my statement had been. Fortunately, Alex had been here to help her through some of the tougher times and both Liz and Ellen had come by regularly so I didn't have to spend all my time holding Courtney's hand. I got out of bed and put on my trunks, the other 2 even though they had stated they wanted to get going early were still lying in bed as I left the bedroom. I went next-door and carefully opened the door and saw that Alexandra was still sleeping and I knew her mother would get her up shortly to change her and get her something to eat. I went out the back door and toward the pool, it was reasonably warm already and I could tell it was going to be another hot Texas day. After I put in my laps in the pool, I had increased my time and distance considerably over the past few months, it was time to get out and shower off in the pool house. I did sit in one of the chairs underneath the umbrella for a couple of minutes to catch my breath but I realized happily that I seemed to recover from the effort more quickly these days. I went into the pool house and stripped out of my suit, I was in the shower and the water was just warming up when I heard voices behind me. The shower door opened and I saw it was Liz and JoAnn. "Morning ladies." I said as I got under the water and started soaping up. "Morning yourself Travis." They answered in unison, each looked as though she had just woken up and I was pretty certain my assessment was accurate. They each moved forward into the shower and closed the door behind them before getting close and letting the water get them wet. "Today is my regular day to service your pool Travis, but I've got something else I have to take care of later so I'm going to have to reschedule my calendar a bit. Still, I didn't want to miss this and I have an idea you don't want to miss it either." She said with a smile as she reached out with her hand and wrapped it around my cock. Not surprisingly, my cock responded to the stimulation quickly. I was about half way to full erection when JoAnn let go and dropped to her knees in front of me. As she let me go, Liz moved in and took her place by wrapping her own hand around my cock and starting to slide it back and forth. She was still jerking me as JoAnn reached out with her tongue and tickled the tip and then quickly engulfed the head of my cock in her warm mouth. She contented herself by sucking the head for a couple of minutes as Lizzie slowly stroked the rest of my cock, it was an amazing feeling. Soon Lizzie let go her grip of my cock and JoAnn sucked more of me into her mouth, she had started sliding back and forth and using her tongue to tickle the sensitive underside of my cock head. She knew exactly what to do to excite me, she had done this enough that she knew all the right places to touch and rub in order to bring me off. Sometimes she would bring me off quickly and other times allow the pleasure to build slowly, today looked to be one of the quicker times. I knew it wasn't going to be long, she was sucking and slurping as I looked down on her face, she was looking up with sparkling eyes and a knowing expression that she had brought me to this point. Lizzie had moved around behind me, I could feel her bare breasts pressing into my back and she wrapped her hands around to the front, tickling and massaging my balls as JoAnn had been sucking. I'm sure both ladies knew exactly what was happening, I could feel the tingling in my balls and Liz felt them pulling up into my body and at the same time my cock was growing even harder in JoAnn's mouth. At the last instant, just as she normally did, JoAnn pulled off and directed my hot cream onto her breasts. She had a look of rapture on her face as she watched me watching her as she continued to hold onto my now slowly wilting cock as the last few drops dribbled out. My own legs had become wobbly shortly before I came, but I still was able to reach out my hand to JoAnn and assist her to stand, then I took a minute to use my hands to rinse all of the hot cream off of her chest, getting a good feel of her bare breasts. This was part of our routine, we each enjoyed it and shortly she was kissing me hard, the same thing we had been doing twice a week now for the past few months. When JoAnn pulled away from the kiss she leaned back against the wall, breathing hard just as I was. Normally at this point, we would part and she would take care of her business and I would finish up my shower before going into the house. However, this time was different. Before I knew what was happening Lizzie was urging me to my knees, right in front of JoAnn. "Okay Travis, it's your turn. She took care of you, now you need to take care of her." JoAnn had a surprised look on her face, but I didn't hear her offer any resistance to what Lizzie had said. I was on my knees maybe 6 inches in front of JoAnn's crotch and I could feel Lizzie behind me pushing me forward. I knew what she had said had some merit, even though I knew JoAnn liked sucking cock I had never done anything to repay her for that little favor other than finger fucking her twice. Lizzie was right, I did owe her something and it wasn't hard to see what Lizzie wanted me to do. I leaned forward and started kissing JoAnn's inner thighs and then moved up and around her crotch area, her pubic hair was short and well trimmed as I moved my face across it lightly. She was looking down at me now, and I would look up into her face and smile before going back to work, soon I had narrowed my attention from her entire crotch area to something much smaller, her labia and shortly I knew I would be attacking her clit. "Tell him what you like Jo! You've done this enough for him, it's time he does something to pay you back. Go ahead Travis, eat her!" Lizzie was acting as cheerleader. It sounded a little strange but then again I could already feel a tingle in my cock as I started concentrating more of my effort on JoAnn's pussy lips which were already engorging and starting to pull apart. I forgot the kissing and moved in with my tongue, I ran it up one side and down the other, pushing my face in between her labia before planting a wet kiss directly on the opening of her vagina. JoAnn sucked in a breath as I did this, I felt her reach down and put her hands behind my head and try to force me even further between her pussy lips. I stuck out my tongue and ran it around as much of her vagina as I could reach, sliding it in and out and tasting her for the first time. Lizzie had moved around to get a better look, she was bending over and leaning on my back as she got her face closer to where the action was occurring. "That feels so good Travis, don't stop!" JoAnn said in a shaky voice as she continued trying to push my face deeper inside of her dripping pussy. The shower was still running and the water was splashing on us but I don't think any of us gave it any mind. I reached around behind JoAnn and grabbed each of her ass cheeks in one of my hands, using them to pull her hard into my face but shortly I had to push her back at least for a couple of seconds to get some fresh air. She had been pushing me so hard against her I was having trouble breathing. Once I had repositioned myself I allowed her to push me against her again, although this time I had managed to run my tongue farther up her wet slit until it was just touching her hard Bud. With the first touch JoAnn jumped with a gasp, I could feel a shudder run through her entire body. Remembering that she and her husband had separated some time ago, I wondered if she had any sexual relief since then. But then as I felt Lizzie urging me on behind her, I remembered the 2 of them had been spending time together in the guest room. I wasn't sure what they had been doing but it didn't take a rocket scientist to make an educated guess. I had always heard that women know how to pleasure each other much better than a man does but I was bound and determined that whatever I did to JoAnn would certainly match any standard that Lizzie might have set. I left the rest of her pussy behind, my attention was now focused entirely on her clit which had expanded and become fairly prominent. As I teased with my tongue she was moaning and gasping more regularly, soon she was humping her pussy into my face and at the same time holding my head as tightly against her as she possibly could. At least in this position I could get some air to my nose which was pressed hard against her abdomen. I knew it was getting close to time, the way she had been thrashing about and shuddering each time my tongue ran across her clit, I knew it wouldn't take much to push her over the top. I sucked the little Bud into my mouth and started running my tongue over and around it. I could tell her legs seemed to be getting weaker, she was having a hard time holding herself up against the wall but she managed. Lizzie was still leaning over my shoulder, getting a good look at what we were doing but then she reached out and pulled my right hand away from JoAnn's left ass cheek. I wasn't going to stop what I was doing to ask Lizzie her intention but I didn't have to. She ran her hand down my forearm until she came to my own hand, she took my ring and little fingers and clasped them against my Palm leaving the first 2 fingers extended. She then urged me to move my hand closer to JoAnn's pussy and I knew she wanted me to use my fingers to stimulate the inside of that pussy. Once I started moving my hand on my own, Lizzie knew I understood and pulled back, wrapping her arm around my chest and tickling my nipples as I continued to suck JoAnn's clit and at the same time carefully slid my 2 fingers up inside of her. It didn't take much, she exploded into a massive convulsion that caught me and Lizzie by surprise. She was shuddering and trembling and simultaneously humping her crotch against my face with such force that it almost through Lizzie off my back and onto the floor. Lizzie had to hold on tightly and I almost lost my balance but we managed. I slowed my licking and sucking but didn't stop, I wanted her to come down slowly but still allow her orgasm to last and bring her as much pleasure as she possibly could get out of it. Travis's Tale Ch. 05 "Stop! Too sensitive..." JoAnn whispered barely audible to me, but I heard and understood. "You did good Travis." Lizzie whispered into my ear as I slowly withdrew my fingers from JoAnn and pulled away to give myself a chance to regain some of my own breath. JoAnn was still leaning back against the wall, the spray of the water barely touching her but I could see that her eyes were closed and her entire body was trembling as she attempted to recover from the orgasm. The 3 of us stayed where we were, just taking time as each of us seemed to be recovering. JoAnn apparently was in much better shape than I was, soon she had stood up straight although she was still leaning back against the wall. She was looking down at the 2 of us who were still sitting on the floor as the water ran over our bodies. She reached out with her hand to me, just as I had done to her earlier, and helped me to my feet. I turned and did the same for Lizzie, soon the 3 of us were standing there in a group hug. "Thank you so much Travis, you don't know how badly I needed that." JoAnn said as we continued holding each other. I thought back to my earlier impression, there certainly must be some difference between a woman eating out another woman and a man doing the same thing, but I had no idea what that difference might be. Maybe it was only psychological, maybe the idea that a man was doing it was somehow different than it would be for another woman. I wasn't going to try to pretend to figure that one out, that would be something for people much smarter than me. After the hug broke apart, we were all standing there wondering what next. Lizzie reached down and wrapped her hand around my semi erect cock, it was still a little excited from what had happened several minutes earlier. She started stroking me again, I had no idea why or what her plan was. "What are you doing Lizzie?" I asked as I looked into her face. "Come on Travis you can't be that slow." She said with a laugh, continuing to stroke my cock which was quickly coming back to life. "Okay smarty, enough of the games. What do you think you're doing here?" I tried again. "I'm taking care of business. You just do what I tell you and everything is going to work out." She said cryptically, I had no clue. I looked over at JoAnn who seemed to be as clueless as I was, she was standing there watching what Lizzie was doing with rapt attention. "Okay Jo, turn around." Lizzie said as she let go my now fully erect cock. "What do you mean?" JoAnn asked as Lizzie moved from me to her. "Like this." Lizzie started, turning JoAnn around until she faced the wall. "Put your hands against the wall and lean forward." Liz continued her instructions, JoAnn was as confused as I was. JoAnn did as she was told, although Lizzie had started directing her by pushing her back a few feet from the wall and then urging her to lean forward and put her hands out and support herself against the wall. "Okay Travis, now it's your turn." Lizzie said, turning her attention back to me. "What are you talking about?" I asked as Lizzie took me by the arm and pulled me over behind JoAnn. "You've got a hard cock and JoAnn needs to be fucked. Her pussy is right there in front of you, let's get that cock into it so you can take care of her." Lizzie again instructed "What?!" JoAnn and I both said at the same time. "JoAnn told me how long it's been since she had a cock inside her pussy, and I know that Travis said he would help you in any way he can. Well, this is one way he can help you." Lizzie was speaking in a matter-of-fact voice, it didn't leave much room for dissent. Lizzie had moved behind me, she was urging me to move the few inches further forward until I would be close enough to touch JoAnn, she had wrapped her arms around my waist and was pulling my cock and guiding it into position. We were both wet from the spray of the shower and I knew exactly how wet JoAnn's pussy was since I had been eating it only a few minutes earlier. There was no doubt in my mind that entrance would be easy, but should I be doing this? "Lizzie, I'm married now, I can't be having sex with other women." I tried offering a weak defense even as I felt my cock touch JoAnn's outer pussy lips. "You slept with us all Travis, Courtney hasn't complained yet." I wasn't sure about the logic of that explanation, but apparently Lizzie wasn't going to take no for an answer here. I'm not sure how much JoAnn might have to say, but she hadn't moved from the position Lizzie had directed her into. Apparently if she was averse to what was happening, her body wasn't communicating with her mind. "Come on Travis the rest is up to you. Your cock is right there all you have to do is push it in." Lizzie said, she had urged me forward far enough that I could feel JoAnn's pussy lips starting to wrap themselves around the head of my cock. I still had reservations, but at this point instinct took over and with a brief surge forward I found myself several inches deep in JoAnn. She shuddered again, just as she had when I had sucked her clit into my mouth earlier. She was still pretty aroused from the previous episode, I could tell she wanted me inside of her as she pushed her ass back onto my cock, soon I felt those ass cheeks touching my pelvis. I was in as far as I was going to go, soon my hips started moving of their own volition and before I knew it I was sliding in and out of her just like I might with any other woman. "That's it Travis, you know exactly what to do and JoAnn really needs this. Give it to her good!" I didn't need Lizzie to tell me what to do, but I have to admit that her encouragement did add some excitement. JoAnn was pushing herself back onto my cock each time I slid forward, it wasn't difficult to know just how badly she wanted and needed this. I had a brief thought of wondering how long it'd been, but again it wasn't any of my concern and was something she would have to work out on her own. I reached my hands around her chest and grabbed each one of her breasts, squeezing and fondling while at the same time maintaining the same pace and rhythm I had developed since we started our coupling here. She was moaning and sighing each time I slid my cock into her, and every time I tweaked her nipple or touched a particularly sensitive spot on her breasts she would shudder even harder. I sensed she was getting close to her climax, although not so close she would be coming too quickly. The same thoughts I had when I was eating her came back to me, I wanted to do the best job I could for her. As I continued sliding in and out I could tell her body was starting to fail, she seemed to be having a difficult time holding herself up against the wall. I put my left arm around her chest as I continued fondling her right breast and then put my right arm on her hip as I tried to assist her to keep her footing underneath of her. She seemed to be a little more stable in this position as I continued hammering into her, I could tell the grunting and groaning was getting louder and almost continuous at this point. I didn't think it would be much longer and suddenly I saw movement to my right, Lizzie had been standing behind me and giving direction and now she moved around and got onto her knees, getting onto the floor between the wall and JoAnn. Suddenly JoAnn shivered in my grasp, there was a continuous moan and scream coming from her as I realized Lizzie had buried her face in JoAnn's crotch, JoAnn was getting it from both of us and that had pushed her over the top almost immediately. It also did something for me, I hadn't been thinking about it but as JoAnn's pussy clamped tightly around my cock my own release started. She had sucked me off half an hour earlier but this time I pumped a hot load deep into her pussy that was probably twice as much as what I had sprayed on her chest. I didn't know how I would have that much in me but apparently I did. Her orgasm had taken everything out of JoAnn, she slumped forward and I had to pull back hard with my left arm to keep her from hitting her head against the wall. Lizzie moved out from below and stood up, the 2 of us each taking one of JoAnn's arms and turning her into the water for a brief minute to rinse some of the remnants of our actions off of her and then we took her out of the shower and sat her down on a bench in the pool house. She was breathing hard and her face was bright red, but the smile there was proof positive she had enjoyed every second. We left her sitting there by herself for a minute as Lizzie and I went back into the shower, me to wash off our combined juices from around my crotch and Lizzie just because. "I know you don't, but I really wish you had something left for me now." Lizzie said with a laugh, toying with my completely limp cock as we stood there in the shower together. "Sorry Lizzie, maybe another time." I said without thinking, before remembering I probably shouldn't be pondering having sex with JoAnn or Lizzie or anyone else other than my wife in the future. It was something I would have to give a lot of thought to, I don't know how Courtney would feel about it and I certainly wasn't about to do anything that would come between the 2 of us. I turned off the water and the 3 of us dried off, soon it would be time to go into the house and get ready for the day to come. I wrapped a towel around my waist but the other 2 just walked with me naked, apparently neither had worn anything as they came out of the house earlier. I wasn't surprised, I had seen enough of this sort of behavior that nothing really seemed out of the ordinary anymore. We walked into the house and I called for Courtney but I didn't get any answer. Looking around I could tell that she and Alex had eaten breakfast, there was half a pot of coffee on the counter. I remembered they were going to see Ellen and I'm certain they took Alexandra with them. "The others went to see Ellen today." I started but Lizzie already knew. "Yeah, I talked to Courtney shortly before they were ready to leave. She said Pete has been a saint with Ellen, but I'm sure he needs a respite once in a while." I offered coffee and breakfast to each of them but both declined. I figured I'd get dressed and then have some coffee myself, maybe by then I would be hungry enough to put the effort into making breakfast. I followed them into the hallway toward the bedrooms, 2 bare asses leading the way and attracting my attention. I know I shouldn't, but I had seen them often enough that they were each well worthy of extra attention. JoAnn went into the guest room but Lizzie followed me into mine. "What's up Lizzie?" I asked, seeing her sit down on the edge of my bed. "I just wanted to talk for a few minutes Travis, I hope you don't mind." "Not at all. What did you want to talk about?" I started, wondering if I should get dressed. She was sitting on the edge of the bed naked, not that this bothered me, but it just seemed a little bizarre. I had a towel wrapped around my waist and nothing else. I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable but then again she didn't seem to show any signs that she was so I dropped the towel and went over and got some boxers out of my dresser. I put them on and went to the closet to look for a shirt and pants before turning my attention back to her. She hadn't said anything yet, I think she was going over in her mind what she might want to say. "I'm sure you saw Kevin yesterday, you had to know he wasn't paying a lot of attention to me." She started slowly. "Yeah..." I started slowly myself, nodding but not knowing exactly what to say. "Don't worry Travis I know it's over between us. There never really was a lot before this but I think I've known for the past couple of weeks that it wasn't going to last. I don't know, maybe I just need somebody to talk to but really it pisses me off more than upsets me that I'm going to break up with him." "I'm sorry Lizzie, I didn't know him very well and he seemed like a nice enough guy until yesterday but now, he was acting like a real dick!" I didn't mean it to sound quite as harsh but that's how I felt. I know Courtney was pretty aggravated to from our conversation last night but I wasn't going to bring her into the conversation I was having with Liz right now. "That's about the same way I think of him Travis, but in reality other than being hurt by his actions, I really don't feel that sad about losing him. Maybe I should, but we hadn't been together long enough for anything to really develop." She was looking down at the floor as she was talking, I got the feeling there was something more serious behind her words but she wasn't going to vocalize that feeling. "Lizzie, you're a beautiful woman and one day the right guy is going to come along. I know it hurts now, but I think you should just wait until that day happens. You remember that guy George that Alex was seeing a while back? She asked me much the same thing about him, she was wondering if she would ever find somebody and I told her to stop trying to force it, it will happen when it does. I'm going to tell you the same thing, if you try too hard you're only going to find frustration. There are plenty of guys out there and I'm sure an awful lot of them would be more than happy to spend time with you. Try to make the best of every day you have, you have a lot of life ahead of you and I'm sure you're going to find happiness one of these days." Lizzie got up off the bed and came over, wrapping her arms around me and pulling herself tight to me. I could feel the tears running down her cheeks and dripping onto my chest as I wrapped my arms around her and held her just as tightly. "Thank you Travis. You always know how to make me feel better, I'm glad we're friends. I know what you're saying is true but for right now I'm just a little confused and even more sad. You and Courtney have such a great relationship, I only wish I could find the same for myself." She said with a sniffle. "That's exactly what I told Alex. I was not looking for Courtney or anyone else at the time, it just happened. We love each other very much but if you asked me two months before we first got together what I thought about her, you probably don't want to hear what I would've said. Just know that we are all here for you, we love you and we want you to be happy. One day you'll find that special someone and the rest of us will be just as happy for you then." Before either of us could say anything JoAnn came into the room, now dressed in a blouse and skirt. "I'm going to be leaving now, I have to go see a counselor." JoAnn started as Liz and I pulled apart. She didn't seem to think anything strange about me being dressed and Lizzie still totally naked but rather continued to explain to us. "A counselor?" I asked. "Yeah, I talked to Wayne and I think I convinced him to go to counseling with me. I'm not ready to give up on my marriage just yet. I hope he shows up, I think he was a little hesitant and maybe he only said he would so I'd stop bugging him about it. Anyway, I have to try." She said as I could see some tears forming in the corners of her eyes. Liz and I took a step toward her, soon the 3 of us were hugging as we offered JoAnn condolences and our wishes that she find what she was looking for. I'm not sure I understood exactly what she wanted, in fact I'm not sure she even knew what she was willing to try. "I hope everything works out for you Jo, you know you have a family here if there's anything we can do for you." I offered as the group hug broke. "That goes for me too Jo, you know we all love you and any of us will do anything we can to help you out." "I don't know what to say but you guys are the greatest." JoAnn said through more tears which she tried to wipe away with the back of her hand. "I've got to get going, but I'll let you guys know how things work out as soon as I find out for myself." She again stepped into a group hug with the 2 of us and kissed each of us on the cheek, then pulled back and walked out of the room and shortly I heard the front door close behind her. "I know it feels like the world is against you Lizzie, but Kevin was only a brief fling. Right now Jo is going through a really tough time and I think the 2 of them have been married for more than 5 years now." "Yeah, even though it hurts I know there's always somebody out there who has it worse than me." Liz nodded in agreement. Lizzie went into the guest room and got dressed, then came out and joined me in the kitchen for coffee. Neither of us was hungry enough to make an effort to find food, the coffee would be sufficient for now. She said goodbye and headed off to her house, she had business tasks to attend to as I thought about what I could do for the rest of the day. ***** After Lizzie left I puttered around the house, I knew I probably should get started on some work but I really didn't feel like it. Sometimes I felt like I was letting the business get too far away, I knew I had to stay involved if I expected to keep it growing and flourishing. Fortunately I had plenty of good people working for me but I still had to be involved on a regular basis. Before I could make the decision, however, Courtney and Alexis came back from the visit with Ellen. "How is she doing?" I asked after greeting each of them. "She says she's fine, but I think she is starting to get frustrated that the baby hasn't come yet." Alex started. "Yeah, I'm glad I went before my due date. I'm not sure how much longer I would've lasted if I was past due. I can see why people need a little time away from her, she was getting bitchy there shortly before we left. I know she's trying hard, but it's a lot on her mind right now." Courtney added to what Alex had said. "It's not just her mind, Cort, she's really fat!" Alex said with a laugh. "You just wait honey, one day it's going to be your turn." "Yeah, I probably won't be any better." Alex conceded. "You 2 have any plans for this afternoon?" I offered, not really wanting to do any serious work. "I was going to play with my daughter some, but beyond that I didn't have any thoughts." Courtney said, checking on Alexandra who was playing quietly on the floor at her feet. "I was thinking maybe we can go for a ride this afternoon, what do you think?" Alex asked, looking at me. "Where would you like to go?" I answered, wondering what was behind her question. "I just want to get out for a while, I'd like to spend some time with my brother. I hope you don't mind Cort, would it be a problem if just the 2 of us went?" Alex posed a question, now directing herself toward Courtney. "It's not going to bother me, what about you Travis?" she said although I could see some curiosity on her face about why Alex might want to go out somewhere with just the 2 of us. "I'm good. Just let me know where you want to go and we can get there." I said, I knew this was the only way to find out what Alex had on her mind. "Let's take the truck for a change, I think you'll be fine." Alex added, still as mysterious as ever. I shrugged my shoulders, I went to the board and got the truck keys instead of the keys to my Lexus. We were in the truck just driving aimlessly, Alex hadn't given me any indication of where she wanted to go. "Okay Alex, what's on your mind?" I asked, knowing there was something there that she wasn't telling me. "I need to talk to you Travis, but not right now. Let's just drive for a while and once we find a place to stop we can discuss things between us." "Okay, I'll drive and you navigate." I offered, she wasn't going to say anything until she was ready. "You know that little town we went to when I was having those problems with George?" Alex asked after a couple minutes of silence. Travis's Tale Ch. 06 ***** I awoke to the feel of a warm pussy settling itself on my face. It was easy enough for me to realize that this was my wife, I had spent many happy hours with my face between her legs. Beyond the feel, the aroma of arousal was also easy to discern and as I started coming awake more fully she started to become more insistent. Just as the other day with my sister, Courtney was slowly humping herself into my face with a silent demand that I do something to satisfy her sexual needs. "I think he's starting to wake up Cort." I heard the voice of my sister who was still in bed with us. "I didn't think it would take him long..." Courtney answered, not slowing the movement of her crotch against my face. Her pussy lips were already starting to dampen, apparently she had been looking forward to this and arousal was starting to build quickly. It was almost instinctive on my part, my tongue snaked out and started teasing those warm lips. My first touch elicited a low moan from Courtney which I knew was only the first of many. Now almost completely awake I opened my eyes to see her breasts gently wobbling on her chest as she slowly rocked back and forth attempting to urge my tongue to find even more places she found pleasurable. I reached up and cupped each one in my hands, the nipples were already hard but as my hands closed over them, I could feel them becoming more erect and forcing themselves into my palms. "I think he likes it court." Alex again added commentary. I glanced over and although I couldn't see much, she was supporting her head on her arm as she watched us with curiosity. She had seen us do this before and perhaps she was only waiting for her turn although she hadn't said or done anything to indicate she might want seconds after I finished with Courtney. I didn't mind, after all she had awakened me this exact way several days earlier. I had enjoyed that experience and from the way she screamed when I brought her off, I knew she had as well. Courtney continued the slow rocking and rolling of her hips on my face, she was enjoying what my tongue was doing to her and I could tell from the sighs and murmurs she uttered that I was doing a good job. Not that I had any doubt, as I said before, I had enough experience doing this that I knew exactly what it would take to give her pleasure and bring her to that magic moment when she would experience her orgasm as a result of my oral skills. "It sure seems a shame to waste this." I heard Alex say, and then felt her hand as it wrapped itself around my straining cock. I hadn't even thought of it as I was working to give my wife pleasure, but now that Alex had brought it to my attention I realized just how hard I was. She was casually teasing me, slowly running her hand up and down before stopping and teasing the tip with her thumb. The feel was exhilarating but was just light enough that I don't think I would be in any danger of coming too quickly. In fact, I'm not sure such casual teasing would even bring me to my own orgasm but I couldn't worry about that now, I had something more important to take care of. "Was that Alexandra?" Alex interrupted my thoughts with her question. I had heard the sound, it was my daughter in her room and apparently she wanted something although I wasn't sure exactly what. She was old enough now she normally slept through the night and usually waited patiently until one of us came in to get her up and ready for her day. "I'll go see what she wants." Alex said, letting go her grip of my cock much to my disappointment. I knew taking care of Alexandra was much more important than my own pleasure so didn't worry too much, either she would come back and resume or she wouldn't. Right now I could feel Courtney starting to tremble as she was getting closer to her own release and I redoubled my efforts to ensure she got there quickly and pleasurably. Alex didn't come back and once Courtney had regained her breath we each got up to get our own days started. I had thoughts of joining her in the shower, but Courtney said she and Alex would be going out and wanted to get an early start so we each went to different bathrooms and soon we rejoined each other in the kitchen. Alex had taken care of Alexandra, she was sitting in her high chair and doing her best to paint her face with the baby food Alex had prepared for her. She was doing better now, several months earlier she probably wouldn't have gotten much of it into her mouth but now she was almost to the point where we could start giving her food that was more solid. She would still occasionally take a bottle but we tried teaching her to drink from a glass and she seemed to pick up that skill quickly. I put coffee on while Courtney worked to put out pastry for breakfast, we had stopped at the bakery last night on our way home. It was going to be quick and easy so they could get going soon. The coffee was just finishing as Alex came back, now she was dressed and the 2 of them would be leaving shortly. We sat and had coffee and pastry for several minutes before they started getting everything together. The Bell rang and I went to the front door to answer, JoAnn was there and I immediately invited her in. "Good morning JoAnn, how are you today?" I started cheerily, although I could see some worry on her face. "I'm okay I guess, well, you know as well as I can be." She said quietly. "Come on in. The girls are getting ready to leave." "You 2 don't have to leave on my account." JoAnn said, she looked embarrassed as Courtney was getting Alexandra ready to go out and Alex was checking through her purse. "We're going into the office for a while to take care of business things. It's something we have to do to keep the company running, we'd be doing it whether you were here or not. Besides, I know Travis asked you to come over and I think the 2 of you want some privacy while you're talking." Alex explained to her. JoAnn looked a little embarrassed but didn't say anything, I'm not sure she knew what to say. "We're going to stop and see Ellen before we come home, I'll make sure to give her your regards." Courtney added as she had gotten Alexandra ready and the 2 ladies were leaving. "I'll miss you baby, and do offer my regrets to Ellen, but I'm sure I'll see her soon." I said to Courtney as I gave her a hug and a kiss, then I turned my attention to my daughter. I gave her a kiss as well, although a brief one on her forehead before I gave her a quick tickle which caused her a fit of giggling. Her eyes were sparkling and she was looking everywhere but as I got close she focused on me and I could see the joy in her face. "Keep the 2 of them out of trouble Alex, you know how they are." I kidded to my sister as she came up and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. "I stopped taking my pills this morning." She whispered in my ear just before pulling away. I knew exactly what she meant, and I knew it had been her plan but the words themselves excited me although I tried not to appear too anxious. "You ladies have fun, I'll see you when you get back. ***** "Can I get you a cup of coffee Jo?" I asked after Courtney and Alex had left. "Yeah, I think I'd like one." She answered as we stood in the living room not knowing exactly where to start. I walked into the kitchen and invited her to sit at the table, I got 2 cups out of the cabinet and poured some coffee. I filled a cup and gave it to JoAnn but there was only enough left in the pot to fill my own cup halfway. "I don't want to take your last cup Travis. Here you can have this one." JoAnn offered as she saw the empty pot. "Don't worry about it Jo, I'll just make another one." I said, rinsing the pot before starting to put the coffee back on. I knew it wouldn't take long and I wasn't certain how long we would be talking so decided having more coffee was probably a good idea. "Anything new between you and your husband?" I started cautiously, I wasn't sure exactly how she would feel about discussing the matter. I think she was embarrassed but she had never hesitated to speak of it in the past so hopefully we could get a discussion started here and maybe work something out. "He won't answer my phone calls. I don't know what's going on, I'm just so confused." She said and I could see her eyes getting glassy. I knew she was upset and it wouldn't surprise me to see her crying any minute. Before either of us could say anything else the front door opened and Lizzie walked in. She was here often enough anyway that she didn't feel the need to ring the Bell and none of us was bothered by that fact. "What are you doing here today Lizzie?" I asked, I could sense that JoAnn had become uncomfortable as soon as she saw Liz walk in. "Alex called me and suggested that I come over. She thought JoAnn and I might be able to help each other since we're both going through similar types of things. I hope this isn't an intrusion on anything you 2 were talking about." She said as she saw us sitting at the table. "You'll have to talk to JoAnn about that Liz, I invited her here to talk with me and I didn't expect us to have anyone else listening in. If she's okay with you being here, it's not going to bother me." I tried to be diplomatic with Lizzie, I knew she was hurting herself but didn't want to just tell her she might not be wanted here. "I guess you can stay Liz, this whole situation has me turned inside out but I know I'm not the only one with problems. Maybe between the 3 of us we can resolve some of these issues, I don't know." JoAnn said as she was looking from Liz to me and back to Liz. "If you're sure Jo, I don't want to intrude and if you think it's none of my business, just tell me." "No, I mean it is embarrassing but I think we know each other well enough by now that you understand." JoAnn said, she was trying to be strong and I think that talking about things would definitely help her. Like I had said to Lizzie before, breaking up with her boyfriend might seem rough in the moment, but what JoAnn was going through was certainly much more difficult. "Would you like a cup of coffee Liz?" I asked, noticing that the coffee had finished brewing. "Yeah, I think I would. I didn't have any at home so getting some caffeine into my system is going to help me wake up." She said with a smile and stood to get herself a cup before filling it herself. "Either of you ready for a refill?" She added, looking over at the 2 of us still sitting at the table. "I am." I replied, I thought JoAnn probably was too but she could speak for herself. "Yeah, you can fill mine too Lizzie." "Why don't we go outside, it's a nice day and I feel more comfortable out there." Lizzie suggested as she finished filling JoAnn's cup. "Sounds good to me Liz, what about you Travis?" JoAnn answered as she looked from Liz to me. I think she was starting to get more comfortable now that she realized that speaking in front of either of us wasn't going to be as difficult as she thought it might be. "You ladies go ahead, I'm right behind you." I answered, I had my cup in one hand and I picked up the pot with my other. I followed the ladies out to the table, we moved the chairs around so we were sitting under the umbrella and in the shade. "So, we were starting to discuss your situation today JoAnn?" I started cautiously, I wasn't sure exactly what she was thinking or how she was feeling. "I don't know Travis, I'm just so confused. Like I said before, I don't know how this happened or how I missed all the signs..." She said with some sadness. "You're not the only one Jo, I've had that same problem with guys myself." Liz offered. The difference between Joann and Liz was that JoAnn had been married to the guy for 6 or 7 years now, I'm not sure if Lizzie had ever been in a relationship for more than a few months with any one guy. "Yeah, sometimes I think that but other times I just wonder if I did everything I could have." I could see JoAnn going over things in her mind and the self-doubts were starting to come to the front. "I'm not a psychologist or any sort of a marriage counselor Jo, and I can't claim to know everything there is to know about the 2 of you but from what I do know about you I think you're a kind and caring person. I have a hard time believing that this problem between you and Wayne is a result of anything that you might have done." "Thanks for saying that Travis, and sometimes I think that myself. But other times, I have to wonder if I could've done more." "Sometimes you just can't do enough JoAnn, sometimes things just don't work out." Liz continued to be involved in the talk. "And what about you Lizzie, how are you doing?" I asked realizing JoAnn wasn't the only one here who might be hurting. "It's not the end of the world Travis, I've had other boyfriends in my life and it isn't over when we break up. I know I'd like to find the right guy soon but like you told me before it's going to happen one day." I had told Lizzie the same thing I had told Alex when she had talked to me about relationships. Trying to force something that was going to happen sometime didn't usually work. "I wish I could be positive about this, but right now I'm just too confused. I try to talk to him but he doesn't know any more than I do. The situation is just so bizarre, I can't believe I'm even living it." JoAnn offered her own opinion. "You said you tried counseling right?" I asked her. "Yeah, I set up an appointment but he never showed up. I've seen a counselor a couple times since and she's helping me but there's just so much I don't understand. I wish there was an easy answer but it doesn't look like there is." "You know you have friends here JoAnn. I've told you before and I'll tell you again. You're welcome here anytime you want and it's not just me, Alex and Courtney both feel the same way." I tried to offer her some comfort. "That goes for me too Jo." Liz added, reaching her hand over and placing it on top of JoAnn's on the table. I saw a tear form in the corner of Jo's eye and it slowly ran down her cheek. She wiped it away with her other hand and sniffled before offering a soft "thanks guys." "I'm going to have to get going soon Travis, I have a few things I need to do today. I know today is your regular day for me to service the pool but right now I've got a hundred things on my mind so I'm going to have to reschedule." JoAnn said after a minute of silence. "Don't worry about it Jo, the pool is fine. You take care of what you need to and don't worry about us." "I've got a couple minutes before I have to go, but there's one thing I need to take care of first." She said with a gleam in her eye as she got up off the chair and moved over in front of me. She reached down and unsnapped the shorts I was wearing. "What's this Jo?" I asked even though I had a pretty fair idea of what her intention was. "Come on Travis. Stand up." She instructed, she wasn't going to answer my question. I did as she asked and soon she had my shorts and my boxers down around my ankles. I glanced over at Lizzie who was watching with a smile on her face, she and JoAnn had done something very similar the other day in the shower but right now we were standing here under the umbrella. JoAnn dropped to her knees and quickly swallowed my cock to the route, it had barely started to respond before she had engulfed the entire organ. It didn't take long though, she had done this enough times she knew exactly how to excite me and soon my cock was at full mast and she was sliding her mouth back and forth, alternately sucking and licking with her tongue. I wasn't going to complain about this, it'd become a twice weekly ritual and was something I always found very enjoyable. For whatever the reason, JoAnn enjoyed it as much as I did and right now I thought it was something to take her mind off her other problems. It was a little weird today, I wasn't in the pool house and the shower wasn't running but that didn't make things any less exciting to me. I watched JoAnn as she knelt before me, she was watching me as I was watching her. Perhaps it was my excessive horniness because neither Alex nor Courtney had taken care of my morning wood but I soon put my hands on her head and started pumping my cock into her mouth as she continued sucking and slurping. "Give it to her Travis!" Lizzie started encouraging me. I looked over at her and I could see lust in her own eyes as she watched what JoAnn was doing to me. I tried to temper my enthusiasm, I knew JoAnn had only taken me down her throat once and I didn't want to force myself past her gag reflex right now. This is the time she needed to be in control although I think I was starting to take some of that control from her as I kept forcing my cock into her mouth. I could feel that tingle starting to grow deep within my loins, she was doing a marvelous job and there was no doubt in my mind she knew exactly what was coming. She continued watching my face as I thrust my cock into her mouth, she had wrapped her hands around my ass cheeks and was even now pulling me in with each deep thrust I made on my own. "I'm almost there Jo..." I felt I needed to warn her although she had sucked me off enough she was totally aware of just how close I was. She kept sucking, and I kept stroking. Lizzie was watching with rapt attention as she sat in the chair and leaned forward to get a better look. I could feel the warmth starting to build, soon that had turned to the rise of hot liquid moving its way up my cock. As I continued thrusting myself into JoAnn's mouth I realized we weren't in the shower and she wasn't naked. In fact, she had been wearing a nice blouse and skirt and just as she had done that time during the Christmas party, she started sucking in earnest just as the liquid boiled out. She had pulled back far enough that just the head was in her mouth but she sucked hard enough I thought she was trying to collapse my balls. I knew she didn't like the taste although she had swallowed my semen before. Perhaps this was her way of thanking me for any help I might have given her although she really didn't need to do that. I was panting and out of breath, in fact I almost fell back into the chair I had been sitting in before JoAnn pulled me to my feet. She maintained the head of my cock in her mouth as I moved back, she was still running the tip of her tongue all around my cock head which felt great although I was getting pretty sensitive. "Sorry you can't wash it off my tits this morning Travis, but maybe next time." She said with a smile and a gleam in her eye. "I'll be looking forward to that Jo." I offered as she was getting to her feet. I still felt a little weak and my shorts and boxers were on the ground around my ankles. "I have to get going, but I appreciate all the help you've offered. I hope you don't mind but I want to keep in touch and maybe even come by once in a while." She said as she had gotten to her feet and started looking toward the door. "I'll walk you out, and don't worry about it, you're welcome here any time." I said as I too got to my feet. "I'll wait here." Lizzie said as I took JoAnn by the arm and we walked toward the back of the house. Inside the house before she was ready to leave I gave her one of Lewis's business cards. "Lewis is a good friend and he's helped us quite a bit. He doesn't do divorce law but I think he knows just about everybody around here. Give him a call and tell him I asked you to call him. He can recommend somebody who can handle a divorce if that's what you really want to do." I said to JoAnn as I handed her the card. "I'm still not sure, but thanks for this and for everything else Travis." JoAnn said as she gave me a quick hug and brushed her cheek across my own. Travis's Tale Ch. 06 "Let me know how things go Jo, you know you're always welcome here." I offered as she walked out the front door. ***** I went back to the pool where Lizzie was sitting, she was still where I had left her. "How about you Liz, how are you doing?" I asked as I sat. "I'll survive." She said with a sad smile. I knew she was reliving the events of several days ago when her then boyfriend had paid more attention to the 2 catering girls than he had to her. Fortunately, she said they hadn't been seeing each other for so long that she felt there was a lot invested in whatever relationship they might have had. "So what now?" I asked her as we sat there just pondering the events of earlier this morning. What little coffee was left had gotten cold and I think I had already finished too many cups. Lizzie didn't seem to be looking for more herself so I wasn't going to make another pot. "I think I'd like to stay out here and just sit with you for a while. You don't mind, do you?" She said as she looked at me for my answer. "You know you can stay here as long as you want. I don't mind a bit." I said in response to her question. Lizzie stood up and came over and settled herself on my lap. "Can you hold me Travis?" She said softly, maybe she was hurting more than I thought. "No problem at all Liz." I answered as I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her against me. We sat there in silence for several minutes just enjoying the warmth of the day and our closeness. "This is nice." Was all that Lizzie said for the next several minutes. "I need some special attention from you this morning too Travis." Lizzie said after we had been sitting together for about 20 minutes. "What kind of special attention?" I wondered. Lizzie pushed herself off my lap and stood in front of me, then pulled off the tank top she had been wearing. There was no bra underneath, a fact I had been well aware of as her breasts had been pressed against my chest for as long as we had been sitting there together. Next came the shorts she was wearing and her panties, soon she was standing naked in front of me. "Stand up Travis, you're wearing way too many clothes." She said with a chuckle as she reached her hand out and urged me to stand. I didn't even argue, I didn't see any point so merely stood and pulled my own shirt off. As I was doing that Lizzie had pulled down my shorts and boxers just as they had been before. I stepped out of them and the 2 of us were naked facing each other here next to the pool. "Okay, now what?" I asked with a smile as I saw Lizzie checking me out. "I've always wondered what this would be like." Lizzie said as she took a step back to the table and lay down on it. She was on her back with her legs hanging over the edge and she was urging me to move between her legs which she spread wide as I got closer. "I've had this fantasy about you fucking me out here for a long time Travis, now it's not going to be a fantasy anymore." She said as I had moved close enough to start rubbing her hips with my hands. "A fantasy? And how long has this been going on?" I started teasing her as I was moving my crotch even closer to hers. "It's been a few years..." She said with a smile, wrapping her legs around my waist as I moved in close. My cock had risen to the occasion, even though JoAnn had taken care of me half an hour earlier there wasn't going to be any issue with me not being able to perform. Lizzie had pulled me tight against her crotch with her legs, my cock was laying flat across her abdomen and my balls were hanging down on either side of her vaginal lips. I didn't have to feel anything to know she was aroused, the scent of her lust and the look of arousal in her eyes was enough to tell me she was ready even now. "You tell me whatever I can do to make your fantasy come true." I said to Lizzie as I reached down and slid my cock slowly across her pubic hair and in between her pussy lips. They pulled apart at my first touch, I could see them swelling and darkening with her anticipation. "Just stick it in Travis, that's going to be more than enough to fulfill any fantasy I've ever had." I did just as she asked, she must have been dripping wet from watching me and JoAnn earlier because I slid in without any effort at all. As I started pushing in slowly she squeezed me with her legs in a silent demand I push all the way in. The way she was holding me with her legs, I couldn't get a very long stroke but managed to pull out a couple of inches and slid back in. It was slow and steady and right now that seemed perfect for each of us. Lizzie was moaning each time I bottomed out inside of her, I think the fact we were outside in the open on the table where everyone socialized made it even more exciting for her. Standing between her legs as I was, it wasn't difficult to reach forward and wrap my hands around her breasts which were wobbling gently on her chest each time I thrust myself into her. "Pull on my nipples Travis, you know how I like that. They're hard just for you." Lizzie said as she was starting to breathe rapidly. I did as she asked and soon her hard nipples were prominent on her breasts, I had pinched and pulled them and she was using her own hands to keep my hands atop her breasts. As she was becoming more aroused her leg lock on my waist loosened and I could pull back a few more inches to get a longer stroke going, something which I did eagerly. As I started pounding her harder she was sliding across the table so I reached out and held her by the shoulders and used my arms to pull her back into me each time I stroked forward. Lizzie was thrashing her head from side to side as her pleasure was building and I could feel her hair whipping across my hands each time. Since I was holding her by the shoulders and had let go her breasts, they were now wobbling even more crazily each time I forced my hard cock into her. She saw me watching them as she lay there and started squeezing them with her own hands, she was doing her best to keep her nipples hard and excited, at the same time adding to my own arousal. I continued pumping my cock into her pussy as the 2 of us were moaning and sighing with pleasure. It was warm enough outside that soon we were each dripping with perspiration even though the umbrella shaded us from the direct sun. After several minutes I knew the time had arrived. Lizzie's legs around my waist were trembling and I could feel her trying to use them to hold me deep within her and at the same time her muscles were failing to obey her brain's command. I was still a couple of minutes away myself, JoAnn had desensitized me enough with her blow job that I wasn't going to come too quickly but Lizzie's sexy body underneath me and her demands that I give it to her hard and fast had been enough to excite me. She was trembling and whimpering and her orgasm had peaked and started to slow but my own pace picked up as I could feel the hot liquid forcing itself through my cock. This had the effect of tipping her over the edge yet again, her eyes were rolled back in their sockets and her mouth was open in a silent scream as she trembled and shook on the table beneath me. I filled her completely, I was still pushing in and pulling out and the addition of my hot fluid to her copious pussy juices only made the inside of her pussy slick as it started to run out around my cock and drip down onto the patio. We were both breathing hard and neither of us was able to speak. Lizzie's pussy had tightened around my cock and the feel was great and I really had no desire to slide it out just yet. I had not yet started to wilt and the thought that I might be able to go again briefly flashed across my mind but I realized that probably was something more likely in my mind than it was in my body. So, did you live out your fantasy?" I asked Lizzie after we each had calmed some. My cock was still buried in her pussy and didn't seem to be showing any signs of deflating. "It was great Travis, even better than I had ever thought it might be." I knew Lizzie had been wild when she was younger, all of the women had and somehow making love to her out here on the table didn't seem to be so strange right now. We had slept together a number of times, mostly in the latter stages of Courtney's pregnancy and then in the first few months after Courtney delivered our daughter before she was able to resume normal sex again. I thought it strange then and even now as I thought back on it, my wife didn't seem to have a problem allowing one of the inner group to take care of me. I wasn't sure how she would feel about this, she was in town at the office and there was no reason she couldn't make herself available to me when she got home tonight. I wasn't going to hide the fact that Lizzie and I had sex today from her, but I wasn't sure I would tell her about it anyway unless the subject came up for whatever the reason. "Shall we go for a quick dip?" I suggested to Lizzie who was still laying on her back on the table, my cock only now starting to shrink but not yet removed from within her warm pussy. "Sounds good to me Travis." She answered as I pulled back far enough to disengage our bodies from each other. I reached out a hand and helped her off the table and she stood unsteadily for a second before getting her legs back underneath of her. We walked to the edge of the pool and jumped in together, the water felt great and helped to wash off the perspiration that was covering both of us. We floated around in the water for several minutes, Lizzie would hug me or I would rub her ass until we decided it was time to get out. Climbing out, we each had clothing on the chairs where we had left it although neither of us had brought a towel out. It wouldn't take long to drip dry with the heat today and the nice breeze that was blowing. Lizzie came over and pressed herself against me, wrapping her arms around me and offering sincere thanks. "I appreciate everything you do for me Travis, sometimes I wish it had been me who was the first to get you into bed instead of Courtney, but I think the 2 of you each made the right choice. I'm just glad you let me be a part of your lives." She said before pulling my head to hers and giving me a passionate, tongue filled kiss. If I hadn't already come twice so far that morning, I think my cock might've responded a little more quickly to what she was doing but I knew that it was time to get back to more seriousness. After several more minutes to dry, we each put our clothes back on and went into the house. Lizzie left shortly afterward and I had the afternoon to myself. Alex and Courtney would be at the office for a while although I wasn't sure just how long but they had each said they were planning to stop and see Ellen before they came home tonight. I went into my office and took care of a number of things that had been pending, I still needed to attend to business related activities if I wanted to keep the company running and prospering. ***** Alex and Courtney got home around 5:30 just as I was starting to think about dinner. "We stopped and brought ribs, I hope you didn't have any other plans. Courtney said as the 2 women came in to the house. Alex was carrying Alexandra and set her down in the living room as Courtney brought the food into the kitchen and set it on the counter. "Sounds good to me, I haven't had good ribs for quite a while now." I replied. "I didn't think you'd be complaining. Especially since you're not going to have to cook anything tonight." She kidded as she came over for a hug and a kiss. "What about me?" Alex said as she had come into the kitchen after setting Alexandra down to play. "How can I forget you?" I answered back, we all were in a good mood. Alex came over and hugged me tight, giving me a kiss on the lips rather than the kiss on the cheek she had left me with this morning. Of course, when she left this morning JoAnn had been in the house and perhaps she didn't think a sister should be kissing her brother on the lips in front of others. "We got a few other things while we were out today." Alex said as she let me go and then retrieved the bag she had set down shortly after they had entered. "Oh? What other things?" I wondered, also wondering why she felt it necessary to bring it to my attention. "I got prenatal vitamins here for me and I got something for you too. Courtney and I joined a gym so we're going to be working out to get into better shape. I got some books so I can study up on having a healthy baby and making it easier for me during my pregnancy." I could tell she was still excited, she was really getting into this. "So why did you get something for me?" I asked, I was getting caught up with her excitement but I wasn't certain exactly what her logic was. "I want your baby batter to be as potent as it can be." She said with a big grin. "Baby batter?" "You know what I mean. I want you to take care of yourself too, I don't want any problems while I'm trying to get pregnant." She said in a matter of fact voice. "I don't seem to remember any problems with Courtney getting pregnant, even with my low potency baby batter." I kidded her back, Courtney thought this was hilarious. "Don't give me any crap Travis, this is important to me." "I'm only busting on you sis, you know I'll do whatever you want me to." I answered, I didn't want to burst her bubble. "I stopped taking my pills this morning, but I think I need to wait a few days to get the rest of the medicine out of my system. I've been charting my cycle for the past few months and I should be at my most fertile in 6 days. I want you to make sure you take care of yourself between now and then. In fact, I don't want you having any kind of sex 2 days before that. I want to make sure you've stored up as much as you can for me, I want to give this the best chance of happening." "You mean I can't even make love to my wife?" I asked in surprise. "Yeah, what he said!" Courtney added, I'm not sure she had known of Alex's plan beforehand. "You heard me, both of you. I don't want you doing anything Travis. If you need something Courtney, he can eat you out but I don't want his cock anywhere near your pussy or your mouth until he takes care of me." Alex had laid down the law, Courtney and I were a little shocked but decided it wasn't worth arguing about. Still, that was going to be a long 2 days in between. "So what did you do today?" Courtney asked as she and Alex were getting dinner ready to put onto the table. "Well, JoAnn was here when you left and we talked for a while. Lizzie came over after a few minutes and she helped with JoAnn, I think the 2 of them could kind of identify with each other's issues right now." "Yeah, I called Lizzie and told her I thought it might be a good idea for her to come over while you and JoAnn were talking." Alex added. "It was a little uncomfortable in the beginning, I'm not sure JoAnn wanted to talk about her problems in front of anyone else but after a couple minutes things got a lot better." I was thinking back about the conversation earlier this morning. "So, were you able to help JoAnn or Lizzie?" Courtney asked. "I don't know. I think JoAnn is really confused and isn't really sure what she wants. We talked for a while and I gave her Lewis's card, just in case she needs a divorce lawyer. I'm sure he can recommend somebody who can guide her in the right direction. She said she's still seeing a marriage counselor but her husband refuses to go." "That sucks. I hate to see her get hurt. She doesn't seem like the type of person to deserve something like that." Courtney offered as she was putting silverware on the table. "No, I don't either. I told her she's always welcome over here and we're more than happy to give her a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen to anything she might have to say and she did ask to take advantage of my offer. I'm not sure she will, but I don't think any of us has a problem with listening to her or helping her through any troubles she might be facing." "Not me." Alex replied before Courtney echoed her sentiments. "Okay, what about Lizzie?" Courtney asked with a smile. "I don't know, I think she was a little bit bummed out because of her boyfriend but she said she would get over it." "So you weren't able to help her with anything?" Courtney continued. "Help her with what? I can't set her up with a date. She knows she's going to find somebody someday, it's just going to take some time." I wasn't sure where Courtney was going with this subject. "So I assume you offered to help her until she finds that someone else, right?" Courtney wasn't going to give up, I wasn't sure exactly what she was searching for but I could see Alex snickering as she was listening to the conversation. "Okay, I told her I'd be more than happy to listen to her and she could come over any time she wants." "So you're willing to help her out? You know, the kind of help where she's lying naked on the table out back?" Courtney asked with a smile as Alex couldn't hold back any longer, now laughing hysterically. "What do you mean?" I said defensively although deep down I knew I had been busted. "Come on Travis. We both watched you and we know exactly what you were doing." Alex managed to say between laughs. "You watched me?" I asked before I had a chance to think it through. Then I remembered the security cameras we had installed to keep an eye on things and realized they must've checked to see what was going on at some point this morning. "We were watching the whole time on our phones. You were putting on quite a show, I think the waitress kept walking behind us in the restaurant at lunchtime just to see what we were watching." Courtney explained. "Okay..." I couldn't think of anything else to say. They each knew what I had done and although I didn't feel guilty about it, I did have to wonder exactly what they might be thinking. Still, I didn't see any anger or repercussions from either of them and felt confident everything was good between us. "Don't even think of letting that happen again until after I'm pregnant." Alex said, I think she thought Lizzie might drain me. "Whatever you say Alex." I answered. The next week saw a big change in our routine. Alex made absolutely certain I was taking my new high potency vitamins and she was taking hers right along with me. She made certain that her diet was as good as possible, she wanted me to cut down on salt and fat and all the good things I liked. We hadn't been drinking for quite a while so that wasn't an issue but she made absolutely positive that we ate healthy salad's and lean meats and lots of fish and all the things the doctors say are good for you. She and Courtney were also going to the gym 2 days a week and started a walking routine, they would go out early in the morning and walk 3 miles before coming back. Alex was still swimming laps with me in the mornings and Courtney had been roped into starting her own fitness routine with us. When she was still working actively with the Texas Bureau of investigation she had to stay in good shape but since they had let her go and she had been pregnant and then taking care of the little one, she had let her level of fitness slip somewhat. Now Alex had decided she needed someone to exercise with and since Courtney was trying to get rid of that last little bit of baby weight, the 2 of them had become more physically active. "Okay guys no fucking tonight!" Alex announced at dinner. I was surprised to hear her say it, even though I knew exactly why she had said what she did. "Alex, you don't have to be quite so blunt about it." I said just to say something. "Sorry, but I am starting to get a little nervous here. Anyway, you know what I mean. 2 more nights until I'm going to be ready and I want you saving up starting right now." She answered me. Travis's Tale Ch. 06 "Sorry honey, but apparently we can't do anything for a while." I apologized to my wife, smiling broadly as I was busting on my sister. "You better get pregnant quick!" Courtney commented to my sister. "I'm doing my part as long as Travis does his." Alex retorted. "Me? I'm just a sperm donor here." I said trying not to break into a grin. Alex looked shocked as she lifted her face toward mine but then she realized I was only busting on her. "You're much more than that Travis, you're my favorite brother and you're going to be the father of my child. That means a lot to me and you know I love you." "I love you too Alex, you know I wouldn't do this if I didn't. I'm sure you're not going to have any problems so don't worry." The night had arrived, Alex had been charting her cycles and according to her tonight was her most fertile time but she thought she would be fertile for the next 5 days beyond. That thought gave me pause, apparently she expected me in her bed for the next 6 nights and I had to wonder what Courtney thought about this. "Are you sure we need to try each night?" I asked her, looking to my wife for her reaction. She had supported Alex from the beginning and was now although I thought I could sense a little disappointment in her that I wouldn't be in her bed for the next few days. Well, I would find a way into her bed although I would be using my tongue on her rather than sliding my cock into the warm and wet orifice she provided for me every night. "If I didn't love you so much Alex I think I could be mad now, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice. I have faith everything is going to work out." "Well, are you ready for bed dear?" I asked as I reached my hand out to Alex before leading her into her bedroom. As we entered I saw 2 candles burning on the night stands and could smell the scent of honeysuckle and vanilla in the air. I had thought we might go to mine but then that belonged to me and Courtney and I thought displacing Courtney from our bed wouldn't be the right thing to do either. I left the door open as we entered, if Courtney wanted to watch the opportunity would be there. Soon both of us were naked and getting into bed, I put my arms around Alex and pulled her tight against me. It'd been a few days since we had spent the night in the motel but she felt just as good tonight as she had then. My mindset was a little different now, before we had been together in bed for the purpose of offering each other comfort and pleasure but now tonight there was another purpose. I was there to impregnate her, although there would be a lot of pleasure involved in my act. "Do you still have any doubts about this Travis?" Alex said softly as she lay in my arms. "Not a one Alex, not a one." I answered honestly, although for a second I thought I might kid her about being naked in bed with my sister rather than what our intention was. I didn't think that would be appropriate, she seemed way too serious and uptight the past few days to be busting on her. No, this was a time to show her love and understanding. "I'm glad, I know you had some reservations before. This means a lot to me Travis, I really don't want you to do something you're not absolutely positive about." She answered me. "That's all behind us now, let's forget about that and concentrate on making a baby." Alex giggled at that, I know how serious she was and how focused her plans were but I think she realized this was a little beyond what might be normal for a brother and sister. I wasn't going to worry about that, I pulled her more tightly against me and sought out her lips with my own, soon she was kissing back with as much passion as she had shown several days earlier when we were together in the motel. I rolled onto my back and urged her to slide atop me, she was warm and soft and I enjoyed the feel of her breasts as they crushed themselves against my chest. I was teasing her back with my fingertips and slowly running my hands further down until I could squeeze and fondle her ass cheeks. I remembered the day she had bent over in front of me as she was pulling on her panties, looking back and teasing me about watching her ass. It felt as good as it had looked, and I was enjoying the feel of her atop me. "I like this Travis, but you're going to have to be on top here soon. I don't want to take a chance that anything is going to run out of me once you fill me up." Alex said solemnly as she had pulled her lips away from my own long enough to speak the words. "Whatever you want honey." "Is it too much to ask if we get started right away? I know just how good it would feel to take it slow and easy, but I'm ready for you now. I hope you don't think that I'm too impatient, I just want to feel you inside me." She said even as she was rolling off me. I wasn't going to object, although some soft and romantic foreplay might have been nice, I sensed she had been waiting for this for the past few days. I rolled her under me and moved atop of her, I was trying not to rest too much of my weight on her body but at the same time I still wanted to enjoy the feel of her warm skin against my own. The anticipation of what we were about to do had made the need to tease my cock to erection totally unnecessary. I was hard and I could feel myself slowly rubbing against her pubic hair as my cock was trapped between us. Without saying a word Alex spread her legs and lifted her knees, I could feel them rub against the sides of my hips as she slowly moved them back and forth causing a shiver to run up my back. "I'm ready for you Travis..." She whispered softly into my ear. It probably wasn't necessary but out of habit I reached down between us, running my index and middle fingers up through the split between her pussy lips, she was truly wet and more than ready to receive me. She shuddered at my first touch and I couldn't resist just sliding my fingers into her vaginal opening for a second, I felt her pussy muscles grip my fingers the second they entered her. "That feels good Travis, but it's not what I need." She insisted as I slowly withdrew my fingers. I raised my hips just enough to free my cock from between us, pointing it downward and without any effort at all, it found its way into her wet pussy. I was taking my time getting fully inside of her but she didn't want to wait that long, using her feet on the bed she pushed up and impaled herself on my cock, surrounding it with her pussy muscles which were squeezing and quivering all around me. "Would you like it fast or slow?" I asked her, this was her show and I wanted to let her enjoy every minute. "Make it long and slow Travis, I want to feel you inside me for a long time." She sighed softly although I had truly expected her to demand hard and fast. I had told her many times in the past I would do whatever she wanted and followed her instructions, I started sliding in slowly and pulling back just as slowly. She was sighing each time I slid my cock inside of her and almost whimpering as I pulled out. Once we had established a slow and easy rhythm, she was pushing back against me and I knew we were both going to enjoy this. Alex had let the flames of the candles be the only illumination and although it didn't provide a lot of light, I could see her face in shadows. Her eyes were closed but there was a look of peaceful contentment on her face as she lay there experiencing the feel of my cock as it slid in and out of her. Her pussy was a different feel from that of my wife, but as I slowly made love to her I remembered that first time with Courtney, Alex's face replacing Courtney's own which launched my first orgasm inside of Courtney's pussy. I had wondered why I might have thought of my sister at a moment like that, but right now I couldn't imagine anything better than what I was doing here. I loved Alex more than anything and I would do anything for her. Courtney had given me a daughter and I loved each of them just as much but right now Alex was the one to receive all of my attention. At that thought I glanced over toward the door which I had left open intentionally, and yes, Courtney was there watching as Alex and I coupled. Her face was mostly in the shadows but I knew if she had any objection to what Alex and I were doing, she wouldn't hesitate to tell either of us. It was certainly a strange family dynamic, but it works for us and I was glad I was here with both of them. Soon I could feel the heat building in my crotch, I had been without sexual release for more than 48 hours now. That was somewhat of a record considering my life over these past 2 years but it was a result of Alex's orders. She was determined that I would have plenty of what she called 'baby batter' to give to her, she wanted our union to be successful in every way. "I'm just about there Alex, are you ready?" I whispered into her ear as I bent down and gave her a brief kiss on the cheek. "I've been ready for a long time Travis, right now I want you to give me everything you have." She said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me tight against her. With her holding me this tightly against herself I had to shorten my stroke but that wasn't a problem, it only meant we were touching from our lips down to our toes. I was sliding in and out slowly and easily although my actions were starting to get more erratic. I could tell Alex was close to her own release from the spasms I felt each time my cock bottomed out inside of her and her pussy muscles would twitch as my invader separated them yet again. "I'm their baby, it's all for you. I want you to feel it all. This is how much I love you." Alex was trembling but she started moaning and shuddering underneath me as she felt my semen painting the inside of her womb. I had pushed in as far as I could and held myself deep inside of her, I knew this would offer the best chance of causing a pregnancy. She managed to wrap her legs around my hips and pulled me tightly against herself. She was doing her best to make certain I was as deep in her as I could get and she was going to receive all of the sperm my body had produced. Once I had finished coming and Alex was starting to slow her spasms, I was ready to pull away but Alex refused to let me go. "Stay here with me, don't pull out just yet. I don't want to lose a drop when you move away. I want to lie like this as long as I can." Courtney and I hadn't gone to nearly such great lengths when we wanted Courtney to get pregnant, in fact it had happened relatively easily. Yes, we were trying but if we didn't do it today there was always tomorrow. Now, however, Alex seemed to be trying desperately to make it happen as soon as possible. I hoped she wasn't obsessing about this too much and that perhaps the stress might make it more difficult for her to conceive but right now I did as she asked, continuing to lie atop her with my semi hard cock still buried inside of her warm and wet pussy. Alex and I repeated what we had done each night for the next 5. She was bound and determined she would be pregnant and pregnant soon. Unfortunately, after the 6th night and several days with a home pregnancy test kit, she had concluded she had not yet been impregnated. "Are you sure Travis is the father of Alexandra?" Alex asked Courtney one morning at breakfast. "I think he is..." Courtney answered, looking at me with a wink. "Well, if you're sure. I mean there's not a chance he isn't though is there?" Alex was continuing to push. "I guess there might be but I'm pretty sure he is." "Are you ladies through?" I had asked even though I knew they were busting on each other and busting on me indirectly. "I just expected I would be pregnant by now, are you sure you're not shooting blanks?" Alex added. I thought she was kidding but then again, maybe there was a little bit of concern in her voice. "Don't worry Alex, Travis isn't shooting blanks and just because it didn't happen the first week doesn't mean it won't soon." Courtney offered to my sister. "I know, I just expected it to happen right away." "Yeah, sometimes it just seems funny the way it works. You know, the girl who forgets her pill one day and gets knocked up without even trying and then there's those other women who seem to take forever when they want a baby. Don't worry, I don't think there's going to be a problem with either of you." Courtney was right, Alex became pregnant the next time she was fertile. Of course, she insisted we make love in between her fertility peaks although not quite as often as we did when she thought she was ready to conceive. I think some of that was due to the fact that Courtney was starting to get a little moody herself since Alex insisted that I save up as much as possible to aid her in her quest. Still, once that blue '+' appeared on the test kit Alex couldn't have been happier. ***** Now that Alex was pregnant life returned to a more normal routine yet again. She had been taking better care of herself for several weeks before we started and that care continued. She was eating better and exercising and doing everything she could to ensure a healthy pregnancy followed by a healthy child when she delivered. The pregnancy seemed to agree with her, she was in a good mood and fortunately didn't have any issues with morning sickness. I think some of our friends noticed her mood change although none of them seemed to have any idea what caused it. Lizzie would come over regularly as would JoAnn although Pete and Ellen had moved to Austin for Pete's new job. I knew the girls talked on the phone regularly but it was a little too far to drive in an afternoon just to drink coffee and say hello for a few hours. The women were still going into the office and I would alternate days with them, we no longer needed to all be there at the same time. The business was going well and both Alex and Courtney had learned a lot about what it took to run the company so I wasn't concerned that I had to be there every day and make all the decisions. It was a happy time and Courtney and I were glad to see Alex find something that truly seemed to make her happy. Of course, she hadn't found true love as I had with Courtney but like I told her before, it would happen one day and of that I had no doubt. "What the hell is this?" I heard Alex shout from the living room as I was in Alexandra's room playing with her. Courtney was in town at the office so Alex and I were the only 2 home. "What? What's the problem?" I asked as I came out into the living room carrying my daughter. "This!" Alex said forcefully, holding up a piece of paper as though I would know what it was and why she was bothered by it. I set Alexandra down on the floor and she toddled away, she had started walking several weeks earlier although her skill was still very limited. I took the paper that Alex was holding out to me, looking at it closely. It looked official and the letterhead said something about Family Court. "What does it mean Travis?" Alex wanted to know even before I had a chance to read through it. I skimmed the paper quickly, the important information seemed to be in the first couple of paragraphs and then the next 2 pages were filled with legalese that I wasn't certain about. "It says something about Kevin Burke petitioning the court to get parental rights and custody for your as yet unborn child." I said as I paraphrased what I had read. "What does he mean by parental rights and custody? That almost sounds like he's claiming to be the father." I could see how angry Alex was, her face was red and I could see a small vein throbbing on her forehead. "Take it easy Alex, give me a minute to read it more carefully." I said, hoping to calm her although I don't think I did. "How does he even know I'm pregnant?" Alex was continuing to rant while I tried to make sense of what I was reading. "I don't know Alex, maybe he heard something after you went to the gynecologist the other day. You had the ultrasound done too, so there's at least one doctor, a couple of nurses and maybe a technician or 2 who would know." I said after I thought about it for a few seconds. "So what does all this mean then?" She still wanted to know. "I don't have a clue sis. It all seems so strange but the documents look real. If I didn't know better I'd think it might be a joke but I don't think that asshole knows us well enough to do something like this. Maybe I better give Lewis a call, let him look into it and try to figure out what's going on." I realized this was probably the best course of action after I thought about it for a minute. "I know you're right Travis, but right now if it was up to me I think I'd just go shoot him." Alex spat out, she was still really pissed. "Try to relax Alex, it's not going to help getting yourself all stressed and upset. Remember, you need to take care of yourself and the baby you're carrying in your belly. We will get this sorted out I'm sure." The 4 of us were sitting in Lewis's office, Courtney and Alexandra had come along as Alex and I went into town to speak to Lewis. I had called his office yesterday afternoon and explained briefly that we needed to talk to him and get his advice and he was more than willing to see us this morning. "So how are my favorite girls today?" Lewis started as we came into the office. He had directed his words to Courtney and Alexandra, each of whom enjoyed his attention. He had been almost like a father to me and Alex ever since our own parents had died, but had immediately taken to Courtney and even more so to our daughter. "So, what's this issue we have to discuss this morning?" He said after each of us had seated ourselves. Alex handed him the form without saying a word, he looked at her for a second before lowering his head to read the documents. "So Alex, can I infer from this that you are pregnant?" He asked after reading for several minutes. "Yes I am, about 3 months now." Alex said without hesitation. "And this Kevin Burke is the father?" "HELL NO!" Alex said vehemently. "Okay. So what is your relationship with him then?" Lewis continued with his questions. "There is no relationship. He went out with one of my girlfriends for a couple of weeks and I talked to him but that's as far as anything goes between us. I have no idea what he thinks but I have never had anything to do with him in the past and don't plan to in the future." Alex explained. "And the child's biological father?" Lewis continued this one gingerly. "He and I have an agreement that he's not going to be identified." Alex said simply. Lewis looked at her for a few seconds but nodded before continuing. "The documents are official, they do come from the Family Court. The petition from what I understand isn't particularly unusual but I don't specialize in that sort of law to know too much about what goes on in that court. From what I read he's asking for his rights as a parent and he wants shared custody of the child. I don't understand why he might be doing this, if you say he has no claim on the child legally I don't understand. What I suspect is that he might be trying to use this as leverage to get some sort of monetary settlement out of you. You know, blackmail... I'm not sure what your feelings are about people knowing about the pregnancy and perhaps speculating about a father but perhaps he's hoping you want to keep things quiet and you'll be willing to offer him some money so that doesn't become public knowledge. I think he might be using the court in an attempt to legitimize what he's doing." "So what can we do about it?" I asked. "It's a strange situation Travis. I'm certain he's hoping for a quick payoff and then he'll disappear. Certainly he must know that a paternity test is easy enough to perform and if it's found he has no relation to the child then any claim he might have is null and void. Why don't you wait here and I'll make a couple of phone calls, hopefully we can get this sorted out before much longer." Lewis said as he stood before going into the back office. Travis's Tale Ch. 06 "What are we going to do if it comes to a paternity test? If they do DNA, they're going to find out you're the father Travis." Alex said softly after Lewis had left the room. "Let's not worry about that until or if the time actually comes. I can't believe he's that stupid to think he can bluff his way through something like this. I'm guessing Lewis is right, he's probably going to ask for money shortly or else he's hoping we offer." I suggested. "Would it be easier just to pay him off and get him out of the picture?" Alex wondered aloud. "Well, the money won't be that big a deal but I'm thinking that if we cave too quickly and easily he'll suspect we're trying to hide something. If he does that, we might never get rid of him or he might start digging and find out something we don't want him to know. I think we really need to wait and see what Lewis suggests before we make any decision." "I'm with Travis Alex, I don't think we should do anything rash before we know the consequences." Courtney agreed with me. "I guess you 2 are right, but let's see what Lewis has to say before we do anything." She decided. Lewis came back 10 minutes later and sat at his desk again. "I made a couple of phone calls and I think we can get this sorted out pretty quickly. First, I called a friend of mine who is more well-versed in this type of law. I discussed it briefly and he agrees with me he thinks the guy's looking for blackmail. Neither of us is in favor of paying it but that's a decision that you will have to make, I can't make it for you. The other call was to the head judge of the Family Court system. I've known him for years and I also briefly explained what's going on to him although I couldn't say too much or else he might have to disqualify himself from any action that might come before him. He agreed to issue a gag order which suppresses any information about this particular case from getting to the public. If anybody says anything about it to anyone else, that person will be in contempt of court and liable for a fine or imprisonment. I know it isn't a lot, but for now hopefully it takes some of his leverage away from him. If he knows that he can't embarrass you by publicizing the pregnancy, then perhaps it will be easier to resolve the issue. Failing anything else, a paternity test can be performed before the child is born and I think once he learns that and once you inform him that is your intention, any claim he might have will be gone." "So right now you're saying you don't think we should do anything?" I asked after he had finished speaking. "I think that's right. Think about what you might want to do and let me know, right now I don't believe it's going to make any difference if we wait a few more days or even a couple of weeks. Let me know if anything changes, there are always other things that can be done if necessary." "Thanks Uncle Lou." Alex said as she gave him a hug as we stood to leave. "Don't worry about it Alex, I know right now how angry this can make you but I don't see that there's much this guy can do. Like I said, if anything changes let me know." Courtney gave him a hug as well, and Lewis gave a minute of attention to Alexandra, tickling her under her chin which caused her to laugh and giggle. I shook his hand and we left, ready to head home and think about what this all meant. I'm still pissed but I think Lewis is right, we shouldn't do anything stupid before we know what's happening." Alex started as we got into the house. "I think that's best Alex, no sense in letting him know he's getting under our skin. I think if we play it cool he's not going to think we are trying to hide something. I'm not sure what we can do right now, but like you say not doing something stupid is probably the best thing we can do." "Why don't you lie down and do some breathing exercises Alex?" Courtney suggested to my sister. Alex had been doing them for several weeks now, another of the tips she had read about in one of her child birthing books. It helped her to calm her mind, I was all in favor of it. I didn't like to see her upset and right now I didn't think worry was going to do her or her unborn child any good to have her stressed and obsessing about something she had no control over. "I'll do them later, right now I think I'm going to go out for a swim. Anybody coming with me?" She suggested in response to Courtney. I looked at Courtney and she looked back at me, it was a hot day and time in the pool did sound like a good idea. "You two go ahead, I'll take care of Alexandra and bring her out shortly. I'll meet you there." I answered to the 2 ladies. I took Alexandra by the hand and we walked to her room although it was a slow walk, she still was a little unsteady on her feet although she could walk the length of the living room on her own. Once in the room I undressed her, taking off her shirt and her training pants before wiping her down well to make certain there weren't any contaminants that might get into the pool. She wasn't yet potty trained but hopefully that wouldn't be too far in the future. Right now, she was going to go into the water which was something she enjoyed every time we took her in with us. She walked into my bedroom with me as I changed into my trunks and then I picked her up to Kerry her out, it was a little far for her to walk so she needed the assistance. When I got to the pool I found that Alexandra was in good company, she wasn't wearing any clothes and neither were the 2 ladies. Alex and Courtney hadn't bothered to put on suits, they had merely walked out in their clothes and stripped down before jumping into the water. Each of them was floating around allowing the water to cool her while the sun shone down on their faces. I picked up Alexandra and walked in on the shallow end, going down the steps until I was in waist deep. I gradually slipped my daughter into the water until it was up to her chest, she was kicking her feet and waving her hands around which caused the water to splash up in her face. She was laughing and giggling and having a good time. I went in a little deeper being careful not to let Alexandra go any further in the water than she already was but it wasn't a problem. Once I was about chest deep I stopped, I wasn't going to take any chances I might slip and drop her so just stood there watching the 2 lovely ladies as they lazed around in the water. It was an arousing site, each of them was floating on her back with head and breasts out of the water, the rest of their bodies underneath. We spent half an hour in the water before deciding it was time to get out, coolness and the serenity of being alone here on the ranch had calmed each of us and right now the thoughts that Kevin was trying to extort something from us had moved far from our minds. We got out and sat in the chairs under the umbrella, I was holding Alexandra while Alex and Courtney were talking about clothing and fashion and other things that didn't interest me at all. When the sun started to dip lower in the sky and get in our eyes we decided it was time to go in, the 2 women merely picking up their clothes and walking naked ahead of me as I followed behind carrying my daughter. Yes, it was a life I enjoyed and right now I was definitely enjoying the site of 2 beautiful ladies walking ahead of me. ***** I had gone into town to the office today, it was my turn and right now it was lunchtime. I left the office to walk half a block down the street to the Café to find something to eat. Just as I was about to enter the building my friend Pete came out. "Pete! What are you doing here? I thought you'd be up in Austin." I hadn't seen him for several months since he had gone to take a job with the Attorney General's office. I had spoken to him a couple of times and according to him it was hard work but really interesting and he was throwing himself into the job with all the enthusiasm he had. "Hey Travis, how's things?" He said after we had shaken hands. "Not bad I guess, how about you?" Things are busy like always, but I had to come down to take care of something." He said although he offered no more information. "You should have told me you were coming, we could have gotten together for a drink or dinner or something." "Yeah, but I've got to get back. Ellen's waiting for me and I really shouldn't have taken the day off but I had to." "I guess that's what happens when you get promoted and start working with the big boys." I was busting on him. "Yeah, you know how it is." I didn't really but it was just conversation. "You know, I heard that old deputy of mine knocked up one of those Mexican girls." Pete said out of nowhere. I had heard the rumor but really didn't think much of it, as far as I was concerned a rumor was only that. Until I knew something different, I wasn't going to put much faith in it. "I think I heard something about that, but I really can't say much." "Yeah, I heard he had to get married in a hurry." He continued. "I hadn't heard anything about that." "As I understand it there was a shotgun up his ass and he didn't have a lot of choice." Pete was laughing now. I gave a thought to that, it was something that did bring a smile to my face. I didn't want to say anything to Pete about the situation between Kevin and Alex so just kept my mouth shut. "I don't think there are going to be any wedding pictures though, from what I understand his face is all busted up and he had a couple of broken ribs." Pete said and suddenly I knew what he was talking about. "Thanks Pete!" "For what?" He answered. "Just thanks." I could see the scrapes on his hands and knuckles and I wondered just how literal his description of Kevin with a shotgun up his ass had been. Knowing Pete, I could easily imagine that happening. 3 days later a messenger came to the door with a package, there was no return on it only Alex's name. When she opened it we saw that it contained a number of legal documents, from what I could tell it was everything pertaining to Kevin's petition to the court. I suspected that Pete had pulled a couple of strings and there was no longer any record that anything had ever existed. Yeah, thanks Pete. ***** Alex went through her pregnancy without issue, she had taken care of herself and done everything possible to ensure an easy delivery. It wasn't quite as easy as she had hoped but she wasn't in labor for nearly as long as Courtney had been. About 3 hours after we brought her to the hospital she delivered a healthy baby boy. The smile on her face was huge and I could tell right now she had everything she wanted. I was there with her every step of the way as was Courtney, she had demanded each of us be with her in the delivery room. After 2 days in the hospital she came home and just as Courtney and I had done with our daughter, we set up Alex's son in Alexandra's room in her old crib. We had explained to her that her cousin would be staying with her and she seemed happy at the thought. I'm not sure how happy she was every time the boy cried at night but fortunately that didn't last too long either. Alex had named him Jared and was a very proud mother. Like we had suspected, there were those who wanted to know who the father was but Alex insisted they had no business knowing and anyone who couldn't take that as an answer didn't deserve anything. Most were satisfied to let her live her life as she wanted, she had stayed home from the office for several months after the birth but soon had gone back to her normal routine. Sometimes her routine would involve bringing her son to the office with her but other times Courtney and I stayed home with him and took care of him. Alexandra also did her part, the 2 of them became very close and family life at home was good. Epilogue Tuesday would be the 20th anniversary of my marriage to Courtney. Today was Saturday and we had invited a few of the old friends by for a little get together. We didn't want anything fancy, just time together with friends to enjoy each other's lives again. I was sitting out near the pool contemplating life as I looked at Courtney, Alex and Alexandra sitting at the table talking about who knows what. It had been a good life and I didn't have any complaints. Sure, there had been ups and downs but mostly ups and right now I was happy. Pete and Ellen had moved to Austin shortly after the birth of Pete's son. He had taken a job with the Attorney General and found he liked the work and was good at it. As he had told me those many years ago, he also ran for the legislature and was elected to the House of Representatives for 2 terms. He probably could've stayed longer but he decided there was too much political bullshit involved in government and had left the legislature to go back to police work, although he did go to law school at night. Today he was the deputy attorney General of Texas, his plan was to run for the top job once his boss retired at the end of his current term. Ellen had gotten the job teaching after they had moved to Austin and did so for a few years but then she became pregnant again so decided to quit teaching and spend her time with her children. Shortly after the birth of their second son, she was pregnant again and before much longer they had 3 sons and a daughter. Ellen had spent the early years raising them but once they got old enough to go to school she decided she would assist Pete with his ambitions, she attended a lot of functions that would add to his name recognition for his expected run for the Attorney General's office. Personally I didn't have any doubts he would be a good candidate for the job and as I had told him many years before, I was supporting him with my words and my donations. In the beginning when they had first moved, Alex, Courtney and Lizzie had kept in touch by phone and we had gone up to Austin several times to visit them. However, as time passed the visits had become less frequent just as the phone calls and emails had. We would still get cards at Christmas and occasionally a phone call or a random email but there was nothing too frequent about it and there were times when I felt sad that we had lost the contact we used to have together. Pete's ex-deputy Kevin was in the Graybar Hotel, halfway through his 7 and a half to 15 year sentence. As Pete had suggested to me several years before, he had married Rosa, one of the Mexican girls who had been working with the caterer when we had the reception for Pete and Ellen at our house. They got married because Rosa was pregnant with Kevin's baby although I think there were some other extenuating factors. After a few years Rosa had 3 children but from what I had heard she and Kevin were having lots of problems. When the 4th woman came pounding on the door demanding Kevin support her baby, Rosa had blown up at him and he had started slapping her around. I don't think much of men who feel it necessary to beat on women but apparently Kevin had forgotten Rosa's early employment until she put the 10 inch kitchen knife into his stomach. He was in the hospital being stitched up even as Rosa was speaking to the district attorney. Rosa's cousin Lupe who had been her partner in the catering business had convinced her to bring charges against Kevin for domestic abuse. Lupe had also been the second woman who had been pounding on their door looking for support for her child. When Rosa brought the district attorney her history of visits to the emergency room and the clinic as well as the scars and bruises on her body it didn't take long for him to file the charges. Since Kevin was a former police officer the courts didn't have a lot of sympathy for him and he had been sentenced to 7 and a half to 15 years for domestic abuse. There were also some allegations that a few of his sexual liaisons had involved threats he might use his position as a police officer as coercion to get the woman to drop her panties. Yeah, the department had gotten rid of him after receiving too many complaints that he couldn't keep it in his pants. He didn't seem to have very good judgment about anything he did. He was about halfway through with his sentence now but word on the street had it that the parole board had decided he was going to do the whole term. I didn't know but I suspected Pete might have pulled a few strings that figured into their decision. As far as I was concerned, he deserved everything he got. JoAnn would be coming by a little later, in fact I was expecting her any time now. She had divorced Wayne but it hadn't been easy. We had spoken regularly for several weeks before she made the decision that she was going to do it. When she had made the decision we hoped things would go well for her but unfortunately that didn't happen. She had decided to go through with it and everything was in place just waiting for the official declaration. It was an uncontested divorce, there were no children and very few assets so it wasn't a difficult divorce. Unfortunately, her husband was irresponsible and immature enough that he never found the time or the effort to come to court when he was supposed to. As a result, the forms were never signed and the divorce couldn't be finalized. According to JoAnn he didn't have any problem getting the divorce, he just didn't seem to want to find the time to sign the papers. She tried calling and sending him letters and getting hold of him whatever way she could, but on the rare occasion she did he would just brush her off and that only caused her more worry. She was starting to think that he was doing it intentionally but I think more likely he was just an idiot. Finally, the judge got tired of playing his games and had a warrant put out for his arrest. They brought him into court in handcuffs and she told him in no uncertain terms that either he sign the divorce papers or he would be in jail. "Why didn't you say so?" Was his only remark before putting his John Hancock on the documents and making JoAnn a single woman again. Some time later I heard a rumor that he had gone to California to find himself, whatever that meant. JoAnn never heard from him again. We hoped that once all this was behind her she could get her life back together but she started doubting herself almost immediately. Her self image had been hurt during the entire divorce proceedings and she was starting to feel self-doubts and pity and soon she had gone into a deep depression. Her business had suffered as well, soon most of her clients had let her go and she was struggling even to survive. She was still coming by to service our pool although it was not as regular as before and her work had become sloppy and careless. She was also coming by the house more often to talk to us although sometimes I got the feeling if we hadn't fed her she would've gone hungry. It was a very tough time in her life and the 3 of us felt sorry for her. Not just felt sorry we really liked her and wanted to see her get her life back together but weren't sure exactly what to do to make that happen. Still, we tried the best we could and after 2 years we started to see the signs. Like the first early flowers of spring we started seeing indications she might be doing a little better. I guess she had come to some sort of agreement with her demons to get her life back, she was working hard. She still had her business although I don't think many of her former clients were inclined to rehire her after knowing what had happened before. Of course none of them were privy to what had been going on in her personal life and to tell the truth it was none of their business. She had to work hard to rebuild her business and threw herself into it with a lot of effort. It started paying off as she was able to generate more business for herself and soon she was able to start paying her bills and live a life more closely aligned to what hers had been before her divorce. She still stopped by but not as often as she had although we liked seeing her every time she came by. She would still take care of me in the shower although not as often as she had several years before. What had been a twice weekly ritual was now down to 2 or 3 times a month although I didn't have any problems with that. Travis's Tale Ch. 06 I never would've suspected it but somehow JoAnn and Kevin's wife Rosa met and became friends. I didn't think they had anything in common and other than being at the party at the same time, I didn't think they had ever seen each other. JoAnn was touched by Rosa's plight and even though she was still hurting herself, she decided to start a shelter for abused women. She came to me one day and asked for my help, both emotional and financial. I didn't have a problem with either one and set her up with time to talk to Lewis who could give her some business advice. Our company had been doing philanthropic work over the years so it wasn't difficult for her cause to become one of our charities to support. I didn't want the publicity, we tried to do as much as possible anonymously and although JoAnn knew where the money was coming from, she never said anything publicly and we were able to help her establish a home with a capacity for 24 women. I know she was doing good work, the home was usually filled close to capacity. That was also bad, it meant that there was a definite need for something like that and to me that was unfortunate. Lizzie was also coming by later this afternoon. She had met her true love a number of years ago even though she had her doubts about whether that would ever occur. It was a fairytale romance, a whirlwind of emotion and 3 weeks after meeting Neil the 2 of them were married. Neil was an investment banker who lived in Tucson and he and Lizzie met each other at a seminar. Just like in the storybooks, it was love at first sight and the 2 of them were inseparable. Once married Lizzie left to move in with him in Tucson although she had to give up part of her business here in Texas. She was able to maintain some of her clients long-distance and she worked hard to build the business back up to where it had been before she moved. She and Neil were each career oriented, and although she had told me at one time she wanted children they had been so busy working on careers that had never happened. Still, she told me she couldn't be happier and although she had missed out on having a child of her own, being able to come and visit us and see Alexandra and Jared had helped her overcome any reservations she might have had about not having her own child. She visited us 2 or 3 times a year when Neil was away on business and each time she stayed in our house, she managed to spend one night in my bed. I think it was some sort of throwback to the inner wild child she had when the 4 women had been younger and doing crazy things, but Courtney understood and there was never a problem with what we did. I loved her just like I love the others and satisfying her need for my attention was something I looked forward to. In fact, I was looking forward to it again tonight. Right around the same time Lizzie found her true love, so did Alex. Aaron was from an old oil family, actually almost a rival to our family's business. They were old money from Houston and had met through business. Alex didn't want to get hurt and took things slowly, they dated long distance for 6 months before she decided to go to Houston with Jared and move in with him. She and I had gone south for a couple of days to discuss the situation before she made a decision. Just as she had done with me several times in the past, we talked about our feelings and how each of us felt about the circumstances. I couldn't find anything specific that I didn't like about the guy, he was nice enough and I didn't get the same shaky vibes from him that I did get about her boyfriend George a couple of years earlier. I had a little twinge in my gut but just wrote it off to an overprotective brother worried about his sister. When she left there was an emptiness in our house, even though Courtney and I had our daughter to devote our time and attention to, being without Alex and Jared left us missing something. I talked to Alex several times a week and in the beginning she seemed very happy. In fact, they lived together for 12 months before deciding to marry. They had been married for almost 6 months when I got the phone call. "It's time Travis." Was all she said but that's all she had to say. She hadn't said anything directly to me but for the past few months I had been picking up signals from her that things weren't quite as happy as she was trying to let on. I drove all night to get there, it was a long ride but I would've driven twice as far if I had to. I got there early in the morning and Alex and Jared were there waiting for me, nothing was said. I helped her to carry out several suitcases of their clothing and a few of Jared's toys while Aaron stood there glaring at us but not saying anything. Once we had loaded just about everything Alex went into her bedroom and opened a drawer and pulled out a large manila envelope. She took the wedding ring off of her finger and dropped it into the envelope and handed it to Aaron as she walked past again, not saying a word. We had driven for more than an hour before she said anything. "Thanks Travis I knew you'd be here for me." She didn't have to say anything else, I would've been there for her any time. "That's what big brothers are for Alex." I answered, I could see the tears in her eyes that were starting to form but she was refusing to let them flow. Jared was asleep in the back seat and we tried to talk quietly so as not to wake him. "I don't understand it Travis, I tried so hard..." It was the same sort of thing I had heard from JoAnn when she first started going through her marital problems. I didn't want Alex to go through the same thing, to have the same feelings of self-doubt and self-pity. I knew my sister a lot better than I had known JoAnn and there was no doubt in my mind that any problems between them had not been of her doing. Alex told me that the envelope she had given Aaron had been the divorce agreement, everything had been finalized several days earlier. All he had to do was sign it and file it with the courts, she had taken care of everything she needed to. She also left word that she would send for the rest of her things, she was going home and would be staying there. I knew she didn't want to talk about it and I wasn't going to push her but after a few more hours of strained silence in the car, she started to open up. Again, the tears were there but I could see her fighting to hold them back. "We wanted a child Travis, something the 2 of us could have together." She said sniffling back her tears. "We tried, we tried for months and nothing. He started to suggest that it was me, that I was the one who couldn't get pregnant but Jared proved him wrong. Then, he started implying that maybe Jared wasn't my biological son. Heaven forbid there was anything wrong with him, he was the Studley oilman who could make anyone pregnant with a mere glance. Finally we went to a fertility clinic and they proved it was him. His body had no sperm and there was no way he could impregnate anyone. All his suggestions and implications that I was the problem and in the end he had been shooting blanks. Once he found out he couldn't have children, he started to resent Jared. I knew it was only a matter of time and I knew we had to get out of there. Why can't I seem to find someone Travis?" "You've got someone Alex, you have me. You have Courtney. You have your son and we have a family together. It's not your fault and you don't need to be worried about this right now. Why don't you try to get some sleep and we'll be home in a few hours." We drove home and got back to the ranch, Courtney rushed out to greet Alex and it was then that Alex broke down. She was crying nonstop and despite our efforts, we couldn't comfort her. Meanwhile, Jared and Alexandra had rushed into each other's arms, each was deliriously happy to be back with the other. Alexandra had seemed lost the entire time Alex and Jared were away, and I had gotten the sense that the same was true for Jared as his mother and I had talked during the ride back. Courtney and I took turns holding and trying to console Alex, she was despondent and was insisting that the problems were hers. I had heard this from JoAnn and I refused to hear it from Alex, there was no way she needed to have the same feelings. Alex cried for the better part of a week before she started to calm. It had been difficult, difficult for me and Courtney as we tried to do whatever we could to cheer her up and difficult for the children who didn't understand what had caused Alex to feel this way. The mood in the entire house was somber and depressing. After that week though, Alex was starting to come out of it slowly. She was more talkative and the children recognized that things were getting better. She was still upset and still trying to insist that she had been responsible for the issues between them but neither Courtney nor I would allow her to think that. In an attempt to help her I suggested she and I go for a ride. No, not a ride in the truck down to the town in southern Texas where we had shared some good times but rather a ride to Eli's ranch. "We're going to get on some horses and we're going to camp and we're going to get this sorted out and we're not going to come back until we do." I informed her, there wasn't any room for debate. I was a little surprised she didn't object at all, I'm not sure she thought she would convince me otherwise if she did. I said goodbye to Courtney and we kissed the kids goodbye, then Alex and I got into the truck and started off. It was about 3 hours to Eli's ranch before we got there and we said very little to each other during the entire ride. "We need some horses Eli, can you help us out?" I started as the truck pulled to a stop in front of his house. He came over to greet us with a big smile, although he could sense that Alex wasn't in a particularly good mood. He didn't say anything although I think he wanted to. "No problem Travis, how long do you plan to be out?" "I'm not sure Eli, maybe 8 or 10 days. I think we're going to need a pack horse too." I saw Alex open her eyes a little wider when I had said how long we planned to be away but I ignored her. "Anything you need Travis, just let me know." 2 hours later we were on the horses and riding toward the open range. We had a pack horse with us loaded down with food for ourselves and the horses as well as bedrolls and a tent just in case we might get caught in the rain. I had no idea where we were going or what we were going to do once we got there but I wasn't about to let Alex pull into herself and go into the same depression that JoAnn had. We rode for 5 hours before coming to a spot in a grove of trees. The horses needed to stop for rest and water and there was a stream running through just as there had been several years earlier when Alex and I had been out riding to inspect our herd. Here, the stream had cut a small pool into the side of the bank that looked like it might be good for fishing and maybe even swimming if we decided we might want to cool off. We tied the horses up after watering them and then we took off the saddles and fed them. They were used to this type of activity and quickly settled down, quietly grazing on the grass as Alex and I set out some of our gear. We spent the next 4 days talking. I wouldn't let Alex slide into depression, nothing that had occurred had been her fault and there was nothing she could've done to make things any better. I wasn't going to let her start to think that and there was no way she would end up thinking any less of herself before I was through. We did a lot of talking and spent a lot of time together just sitting in the warm sun but remembering things that had happened in our lives. It was intense and we each laughed and cried and got even closer. We hadn't brought a phone with us or anything other than our wits and the horses. We were here out in the middle of the range in southwestern Texas and we were going to work this out or we weren't going back. Alex knew this and I think that knowledge helped her to make the decision, she wasn't going to let these past months dictate what she did for the rest of her life. It had been a mistake and I felt equally as guilty, I probably should've said something more when Alex asked me what I thought about Aaron, but in retrospect I don't think I could've said anything that would change things. Back then I hadn't found anything that struck me odd about him so perhaps he was just good at hiding his feelings or his intentions. In any case, I couldn't let my guilt haunt me anymore than Alex's doubts were haunting her. On the 5th day when we woke up, each of us felt the weight of the world had been lifted from us. We didn't even feel like talking about past events, rather just enjoying the time the 2 of us had together. It was another time for brother sister bonding and we were going to make the most of it. We got up and had breakfast, and once done with that decided to go swimming. The pond wasn't huge but was big enough we could get in and submerge to our chests and we did just that. We each stripped off our clothes and went into the water naked, gliding around and getting to laughing and splashing each other and in general having a good time. After a time of fun and frolic, we got out and decided what the heck, why bother getting dressed. We spent the next 3 days naked and not worrying about anything. During the day we would swim or sit and talk or lay in the sun and at night we made love until early in the morning. We got even closer to each other than I thought was possible, but I'm glad we did it. I know it took some bad experiences to bring us this close, but in the end the result was worth it. Reluctantly we put clothes back on and rode back to Eli's, returning his horses to him and getting back in the truck. When we got back to the ranch everyone could see the change in Alex immediately. It was as though she had never gone away and her life was back to the happy way it had been before she left. Knowing what had happened, I legally adopted Jared to give him my name just so no one could call him a bastard. Really he wasn't, but we were looking out for him and the experience Alex had gone through showed us just how mean some people can be. I looked up from my musing as JoAnn came around the corner of the house, just as she usually did when she serviced the pool. Just as she usually was, she wasn't wearing a top but rather just the bottoms of her bikini. She fit right in, none of the other 3 women was wearing a top either. I looked at her with fondness, we had become good friends over the years and I was glad she had been able to find her niche in life after all the problems she went through earlier. She looked older now, she had lines and Crow's feet around her eyes and with all the time she had spent out in the sun, her skin had that weathered look to it. She was still in great shape with all the physical labor she did, her waist was thin, her legs looked strong and her breasts had almost no SAG to them even though she was in her early 50s now. She gave me a brief hello as she walked past before taking a chair at the table with the other women, easily falling into whatever gossip they had going. I took a look at my daughter Alexandra, she was tall, blonde and had large breasts like her mother, although she got her dark eyes from my side as well as the dark nipples and areole that were very similar to Alex's. She was home from school now, she was almost 21 and would be going into her final year of studies at the University of Texas in the fall, majoring in petroleum engineering. She had told us at a very early age she planned to go into the family business which made me very proud. She must've gotten a lot from my father, she wanted to learn the business from the ground up and even at 15 she was working on a drilling rig out on the range just like the other roughnecks. "A couple of the guys were giving me a hard time about being the daughter of the boss out their dad." She had said to me one day when we were sitting together. "I'll take care of it honey." I had told her. "No need to dad, I took care of it myself." She answered me with a grin. "Really? What did you do?" "I knocked them on their ass!" I had no doubt that's exactly what she did, she didn't take any crap from anybody and I know she would go far. She had also inherited a lot from my father even though she had never met him. She had been project manager of a drilling venture when she was 19 that had brought in a very productive well in an area everyone swore had been pumped dry years before. Just as people used to say about my father, they started thinking she could smell the oil in the ground. I was very proud of her and I knew she would make a fine addition to the company. Her brother wasn't here, he was in bed. Not his bed, some girl's whose name I didn't know yet. He had only recently ended a relationship with some other girl whose name I hadn't had a chance to learn before he had hooked up with this one. Actually, his sister had hooked him up with one of her friends and there was no doubt in my mind what they were doing now. I thought it odd, he and Alexandra had some sort of arrangement between them where she would find him a new girlfriend anytime one of his relationships ended. It was some sort of strange symbiosis, the girl would be close enough to Alexandra to tell my daughter everything that went on which then became common knowledge in our house as Alexandra explained in explicit detail exactly what had happened between Jared and his latest girlfriend. She would tell us how long it took him to get her into bed or where they had gone or what positions they had tried, things that would embarrass the heck out of me if she was talking about me. Her brother on the other hand, seemed proud of having her relate his exploits to us and all it did was make me jealous. He was getting a heck of a lot more pussy than I was at his age. He would be starting his sophomore year at SMU in the fall, he was majoring in business. I asked him if he wanted to follow along with his sister into our family company, but he wasn't sure so decided to keep his options open. There would be a place for him there if that's what he wanted but he could make up his own mind when the time came. He had always been a good kid and a hard worker and in fact had even worked for JoAnn a couple of summers helping her with the pools. As I looked over at JoAnn sitting with the other women while I was reminiscing about my son, a thought came to me that I had wondered about before. I was pretty sure although I hadn't asked and no one had volunteered, that JoAnn knew what his cock tasted like. I guess I couldn't worry about that, he was 19 now and she knew what mine tasted like too. We had told the kids about the relationship in our family when we thought they were old enough to know. Jared had just turned 12 and his sister would be 14 in a few more months. We all got together in the kitchen around the table, and I started explaining how I loved Courtney but I also loved Alex who was my sister. I explained this was a deeper love and that one way to express that love was to make love to her which is how Jared came to be. I told him I was his father and his reply was "I know." I thought he was simply referring to me being his adoptive father, perhaps I hadn't explained things well enough to him. "Yes, but I mean I'm your biological father. Your mother and I made love to each other and you were the result of that act." "I know dad." Before I could continue, his sister broke in. "You don't have to say any more dad, we each know the truth. We've known for a long time and we're okay with it." "That was it, it wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be and although I had no idea how they knew, like she said it never bothered them and we never had to mention the subject again.
