As I did most days, I spent much of it sunning in the backyard and reading one of my romance novels. My brother left earlier to play ball with his friends in a park near our suburban home. Mom and Dad both worked. I turned eighteen a week before. My brother would be nineteen in a month. Glen and I graduated from high school a few weeks earlier. We were in the same grade because my brother failed the fifth grade. After that, he buckled down. Mom and Dad's twenty-fifth wedding anniversary was coming up. They married when they were eighteen, right out of high school. Mom and Dad went to college together. Dad received a degree in accounting. Mom finished her degree in business management while carrying me. Glen was born in August and I was born eleven months after my brother. My brother Glen and I were typical siblings. We got along, but weren't what you'd call close. He had his group of friends and I had mine. Both of us did well in school. We weren't on the honor roll, but we maintained good grades. Glen swam and was a member of the diving team in high school. I also swam, but I didn't dive. Mom came in from work at five thirty. She changed out of her suit, putting on shorts and a top. "Megan, come help me with dinner please," Mom said. I put on a pair of shorts over the bottoms of my two-piece bathing suit. Mom asked me to make a salad when I came into the kitchen. "What did you do today, Meg?" Mom said. "I just read and sunned, Mom. Kathy and Donna are on vacation. I spent most of the day in the yard," I said. Kathy and Donna were my best friends. The three of us spent most of our free time together. Like most girls our age, we went to the mall and talked about boys. I had a boyfriend, but we broke up when he pushed me to have sex with him the night of our prom. I wasn't a prude and didn't mind him feeling me up when we made out, but I didn't want him trying to get into my pants. Donna said I was being childish and that if I wanted to keep a boyfriend I would have to let him fool around. Kathy was like me and didn't let boys go too far. "Where's Glen?" Mom asked as she placed a meatloaf in the oven. "I think he's playing ball at the park. I haven't seen him since this morning." Mom and I talked while preparing dinner. She told me about her day at work and filled me in on some of the gossip that went on in her office. I talked about my plans for the summer. At six, Dad came home. After saying hello to me, and kissing Mom, he changed his clothes, grabbed the newspaper, and sat in his chair. As he flipped through the paper, Dad carried on a conversation with Mom. Glen came home as Mom and I placed dinner on the table. He washed his hands in the kitchen sink and sat in his seat. I sat down across from my brother and began placing food on my plate. Mom and dad sat across from each other at the square kitchen table. "As you kids know, Mom's and my anniversary is coming up. We have booked a cruise," Dad said. "We'll fly to Fort Lauderdale, board the ship, and cruise the Caribbean." "That's cool, Dad. What are Meg and I going to do?" Glen asked. "We've decided to take you with us. The ship is large enough that we can have our privacy when we want it. There are many things to do on the ship so I don't think you two will get bored," Dad said. "When are we leaving?" I asked. "We leave a week from tomorrow," Mom said. "We'll go shopping this weekend to get a few new outfits for the trip. We have to dress up for dinner. The rest of the time the dress is causal." I loved shopping with my mom. She let me buy stylish clothes and shoes. Mom and Dad never said anything about the mini skirts, short shorts, or midriff tops I wore. On Saturday, Mom and I headed for the mall. We bought shorts, tops, skirts, sundresses, sandals, new bathing suits, and undies. Mom let me buy a bikini. I asked her about the skimpy suit as a joke, but she said it was okay to get it if I wanted it. My mom and I could wear the same size clothing. She needed bigger bras, but we could exchange almost everything else. Some of the things Mom bought surprised me. She normally dressed conservatively, but the shorts, tops, and skirts she selected were anything but. I made a comment about her clothes and she laughed. "I figure we're going to be on a ship where we won't know anyone. I want to dress nice for your father," Mom said. I wanted to ask if she was trying to dress sexy for my dad, but I didn't. The things she bought were sexy. Dad and Glen went shopping too. When we got home, we all showed each other what we bought. Dad gave Glen and me new suitcases and told us we could take whatever would fit in them. ****Day 1 - Surprise Surprise Time flew and the next thing I knew, we were flying to Florida. We landed at seven o'clock in the morning and took a shuttle to the pier. I couldn't believe the size of the ship, or the number of people online to board. Dad told Glen and me that the cruise ship wasn't one of the larger ones. He said that the cruise catered to families with older children. Looking around, I noticed that there were people of all ages. I saw people that could be my grandparents as well as young couples. There were kids, but not many. A woman took us to our staterooms. When she opened the door to the room my brother and I would share, I gasped. There was only one bed. The woman smiled and showed Glen and me how to change the large bed into two smaller beds. The woman gave us a card with the code to our door on it. After Glen and I dropped our suitcases in our room, we went up a level to our parents' stateroom. Mom and Dad had a suite. "This is really nice, Mom. Look, you guys have a balcony," I said. "Our room has a balcony too, Sis. Didn't you see it?" Glen said. "No, I was too busy worrying about the bed," I said and then I laughed. "I like you, but there was no way I was going to sleep in the same bed. I thought you'd have to sleep on the couch until the woman showed us the bed changed into two beds." The woman left after telling us about the room and several of the services offered by the cruise line. Once she had left, Mom told Glen and me to sit down. I sat on one end of the couch and Glen sat on the other. Dad and Mom sat across from us. "We didn't want to mention this until we were on the ship. This cruise is a little different than most cruises," Mom said. "What's the difference?" Glen asked. "This is a clothing optional cruise." Mom paused to let what she said sink in. I felt my mouth fall open as I thought about what Mom told us. She and Dad sat quietly and smiled as they looked at the shocked looks on my brother's and my face. "That means that some people will be naked some of the time. You two don't have to go naked if you don't want to, but if you decide you do, it's alright with your mom and me," Dad said. "Um, are you and Mom going to go naked?" Glen asked while diverting his eyes. "We plan to, Son. Mom and I have talked about this for several years. We decided that we would take a clothing optional cruise for our anniversary," Dad said. "Why didn't you guys leave us at grandma's house or something?" I said. I didn't want to be naked or see other people that way. "We talked about that too, Meg. Dad and I thought we would give you and your brother the opportunity to go on this cruise with us instead of leaving you home. I know we've been deceptive, but we thought it would be best to inform you this way," Mom said. "There's a pamphlet in your room. Why don't you look at it and then make up your minds. We have to muster on deck to make up the lifeboat teams and get the safety instructions. We can talk about this later," Dad said. I felt numb. While we listened to the lecture about the lifeboats and such, I couldn't help looking at some of the other guests and wondering who would be naked later that day. On one hand, I was somewhat curious. The only penis I'd seen was my ex boyfriends, and that was only for a few seconds. He pulled it out and tried to make me suck it on our last date. I jumped out of the car and ran. The boys on the swim team all wore small Speedo suits that didn't leave much to the imagination, but they were covered. After the ship cast off, Glen and I went down to our stateroom. I found the pamphlet and began to read. It told about the different activities. The pamphlet explained when it was proper to be nude and when it wasn't. Most of the activities were outdoors and by one of the pools. There were several places inside that dressing was optional. As I read the information aloud, Glen sat next to me and listened. "I'm not going around naked and that's that!" Glen said. "Neither am I! I can't believe Mom and Dad brought us on this cruise. I'm going to stay in this room until we get back. I might go out to eat, but that's all. You have to wear clothes in most of the dining rooms," I said. Glen glanced at the pamphlet and said, "Um, only the main dining room, and then only at dinner." He continued to read and then laughed. "Look, it says we should carry a towel to sit on if we're naked." "I'M NOT GOING TO BE NAKED!" I yelled. "I know, neither am I, but I think it's funny," Glen said. My brother and I sat in the stateroom and watched television. An hour later, there was a knock on our door. Glen opened the door for Mom and Dad. I sighed in relief after seeing they were dressed. "We're going to take a look around the ship. Would you kids like to come with us?" Mom said. "Not if I'm going to have to look at naked people," I said as I folded my arms across my chest. "You don't have to look at them," Dad said. "What do you mean, Dad?" Glen asked. "If there are people that are naked, don't look at them. I'm sure there will be other things to see on this ship. Look, kids, there's a difference between glancing, seeing, and staring. If you see something that bother's you, look away," Dad said. "You two shower with other naked kids at school. Do you stare at them?" "There aren't boys in the shower with us," I said. "Okay, suit yourselves. Mom and I are going to take a walk. If you two want to spend the trip in this room, that's up to you," Dad said. "I'll go with you," Glen said. "I guess I can always come back to the room if I feel uncomfortable." I gave in and went with the rest of the family. As we walked down the passageway, I kept glancing around. I wondered if we would see anyone naked. What my dad said made sense to me. I never felt uncomfortable when I showered with the other girls on the swim team or after PE. Giggling under my breath, I thought about all the times the girls would joke about raiding the boy's locker room. Like most healthy girls, I was curious about boys. The line drawings in my health class textbook didn't really provide any details. I had seen a video at a sleepover once, but it didn't seem real. I covered my face and screeched along with the other girls at the pajama party. We joked about it, but at thirteen, we didn't know what we were talking about. As we walked around, we saw the shops, the casino, the dining rooms, the nightclub, the arcade, and many other things. What we didn't see were naked people. The people we met along the way smiled and said hello. My brother and I began to relax and responded to them. Dad led us outside and I became anxious again. We went to one of the pools. There were quite a few people relaxing around the pool, and every one of them wore bathing suits. When I noticed my brother gawking at some of the women in the skimpy bikinis they wore, I nudged him in the ribs with my elbow. "Hey, what was that for?" Glen said. "You're staring," I said and then I giggled. It was fun making my brother blush. We reached a small pool and I stared to laugh. I saw my first naked people of the trip and they were all of about six of seven. Two girls splashed and frolicked in the shallow water in their birthday suits. Sitting on the edge of the pool was a woman that I assumed was their mom. The first adult I saw was a woman that looked mom's age. She stretched out on a reclined lounge chair and she was topless. I quickly diverted my eyes, but then I looked again. My brother was jabbed in the ribs again. "Stop that!" Glen said low enough so only I could hear him. "Stop looking at her," I said. We continued exploring the deck. When I saw a man and woman, both of them naked, Glen poked me in the ribs. We giggled and walked away quickly. "Honey, I want to change into my suit. It's so nice out here and I want to get a tan," Mom said to Dad. "Okay, hun. I'll change too," Dad said. "What are you kids going to do?" "I'm going to go to the room and read," I said. I wanted to ask Mom if she was going to be nude, but I couldn't gather the courage. "I guess I'll go watch television," Glen said. My brother and I went to our stateroom. I grabbed one of my books from my suitcase and went out on the balcony. Pulling a chair into the sun, I sat down and opened the book to the place I'd marked. The balcony wasn't very big. Two chairs and a small table almost filled it. Glancing around, I noticed the shields to prevent the people next to us from seeing our balcony, or from us seeing their's. Glen came out and sat in the other chair. He put his feet up on the railing. I glanced at my brother, smiled, and returned to my reading. "This is nice," Glen said. "I think I'm going to put on my suit and get some sun." I nodded, but didn't look up. Glen left the balcony, returning wearing his trunks. He sat down, scooting his chair into the sun. After a little while, I decided it was too warm to be dressed the way I was. I went into the room to put on my suit. After contemplating between my two-piece, the suit I wore for the swim team, and the new bikini Mom bought me, I chose the two-piece. Back on the balcony, I resumed reading my book. Glen fidgeted in his chair and then spoke up. "This trip is going to suck, Meg." "It won't be bad, Glen," I said as I closed my book on my finger. I giggled and looked at my brother. "You can always go to the pool and look at the naked women." "Yeah, and you can go look at the men," Glen said. "Have you ever seen Karen naked?" I asked. Karen was a girl my brother dated back home. "No, we don't do anything," Glen said. I giggled. I knew my brother and Karen made out and he had felt her up. Karen was a member of the swim team and we talked. She told me about the night she parked with Glen and he touched her breasts through her top. "That's not what Karen says. She told me you felt her up," I said in a teasing voice. Glen blushed and turned away. "It's no big deal. A lot of girls like being felt up. I know I liked it when Don touched my boobs." "You let that dork touch you?" Glen said. I blushed as I nodded my head. "Yeah, a couple times I did." "Why did you break up with him?" Glen asked. He hadn't asked before. We seldom talked about the kids we dated. "Because he's a jerk! He wanted to have sex and I didn't," I said. "What else did you and Don do?" "What else have you and Karen done?" "I asked first," Glen said. "Nothing! He did something I didn't want him to so I broke up with him," I said. "What did he do?" "It's none of your business." Glen shrugged his shoulders. I thought for a moment and then told my brother about what Don tried to do. When I finished, Glen pounded his right fist into his left hand. "I'm going to kick the shit out of him when we get home," Glen said. His face was red, but from anger, not blushing. "Don't do that, Glen. You'll get in trouble and Don isn't worth it." I put my hand on my brother's arm, feeling the tension. "Thanks though, it's nice to know you care." "You're my sister, Meg, of course I care. If any guy ever does anything you don't want him to, just tell me. I'll make sure he never does it again." "What if I want a boy to do things?" "That's up to you, Meg. If you want to do something, it's your choice. If some asshole does something you don't what him to it's different," Glen said. I felt funny inside. My brother had never been so adamant about protecting me before. It was nice to know he would be there for me. "You have to be careful about the guys you date too. A lot of them have big mouths. They'll brag about what they did even if they didn't do anything. I know several guys that said they had sex with a girl when I know for a fact they haven't." I giggled and said, "I know some girls that are the same way. They say they do stuff with boys to make everyone think they're cool." "I didn't know girls talked like that too," Glen said. "Are you kidding? Girls are big gossips. They aren't any different from boys, I guess. I've never heard any boys talking about things like that. You know, sex." "I would never talk about what I do with a girl. That's sick! Why would anyone want to ruin a girl's reputation?" "Some girls ruin their own reputations. They act like sluts and talk about the things they do with anyone that will listen," I said. "Like who?" "Donna for one," I said. "Your best friend, Donna?" "Yup, she tells us about her dates all the time." "No shit, what does she tell you?" Glen said with a grin. "It's none of your business." "Why, if she doesn't mind telling anyone why should you?" "I don't know. I don't think its right for me to tell you that she has given boys blowjobs or that she isn't a virgin." I giggled when I saw the look on my brother's face. "Wow, maybe I should ask Donna out." "Make sure you wear a rubber. You might catch something from her," I said with a giggle. "That's not fair. Donna hasn't been out with that many boys. At least she said she hasn't. Please don't repeat anything I said, Glen." "Don't worry, I won't. I'm not a gossip." I grinned and then said, "Okay, your turn. What have you done with a girl?" "Not much, just kissing, and a little touching." "Do you want to do more?" "Sure, don't you?" I shook my head, but deep down inside, I did want to do more. I wasn't afraid of sex, I was afraid of someone finding out about it. My parents were cool about sex. Mom and I talked about it before and she told me it was a decision I would have to make for myself. When I started going steady with Don, Mom took me to the doctor to get a prescription for birth control. I remember that day well. On the way home from the doctor's office, I cried and told Mom I didn't need birth control because I wasn't doing anything. She smiled and nodded. Then, out of the blue, she said, "Maybe you don't need it now, but it's better to have it and not need it than the other way around. Someday you'll have sex and, when you do, you may not want to become pregnant." Since that day, I have taken the pill each morning. It has been almost a year and I have never needed the protection the pill was supposed to provide. If it weren't for making my periods regular and light, I would have stopped. "I don't know. I don't want to have sex just to have it. Don't you think it should be something special?" I said. Glen laughed and then blushed, his face turning bright red. "I think any sex would be special." "Boys! Is that all you think of?" I said. Don's constant begging me to do things made me feel that it was all boys cared about. Glen glanced at the book in my lap. The cover showed a couple, partly dressed, in a heated embrace. He smiled, pointed at the book, and said, "As if girls don't." Before I could respond, Glen went into the room. He closed the door, leaving me alone to think about what he said. Maybe my brother was right. I did spend a lot of time reading romance novels, many of them were very explicit. I also spent a lot of time rereading the steamy parts. Romance novels had provided me with my limited knowledge of the mechanics. I knew about oral sex, both giving and receiving as well as some of the contorted positions people fucked in. The authors could be very vivid in the descriptions they provided. Ten Day Cruise While I never felt any of the things the books described, I imagined them. Many nights I touched myself while thinking about some handsome stud having his way with me. The rougher my lover was in my fantasy, the stronger my orgasms felt. I didn't dream about being hurt, but I did relish the idea of a strong dominate man. I guess my feelings stemmed from my dad. He was a strong natured man and very firm in his convictions. Dad didn't pull any punches when he wanted to get his point across. My dad wasn't what I would describe as overly strict. He allowed Glen and me to make our own decisions, and our own mistakes. When my brother or I screwed up, we heard about it. Dad had a way of pointing out the error of our ways with out yelling or hitting us. That's not to say our parents didn't spank us. We both had our butts warmed more than once when we were younger. Mom and Dad would dole out our punishment equally. Mom never told us to wait until our dad came home; she acted. Neither Mom nor Dad really hurt my brother or me. Dad never spanked my naked butt. Some of my imaginary lovers did though. The last time either of my parents spanked me was when I was seven or eight. I couldn't remember why. Now, if I got in to trouble, my parents grounded me and that didn't happen often. My brother was a lot like Dad. Not only because Glen stood over six feet tall, the same as Dad did, he was very sure of himself and assertive most of the time. Not around me, but around others he was. He was the captain of the diving and the swim teams. When Glen ran the practices, everyone listened to him. To me he was my big brother. I loved the way I could make him blush or get my own way with him. Glen came back out on the balcony and offered me a can of soda. I took it and thanked him. He stood at the railing and gazed out at the blue water. I watched the muscles in his back ripple as he moved fluidly. Moving my eyes down, I noticed how strong the backs of his legs looked. "Look, Meg. There are Dolphins swimming along side the ship," Glen said as he pointed with his can of soda. I got up and looked at the graceful mammals moving through the water. They came up in pairs as if choreographed. "They're cool," I said. We watched the Dolphins for a while. When someone next to us said, "Hello," I jumped. A woman stuck her head out far enough that she could see my brother and me. "Hi, we're watching the Dolphins," I said. "My boyfriend and I are too. They're pretty, aren't they?" the woman said. "Yeah, they're so cool!" I replied. "Well, take care. By the way, my name is Allison. I'm here with my boyfriend Randy." "I'm Megan. This is Glen," I replied. "Hi," Glen said. "Talk to you later, Megan and Glen." The woman pulled her head back. I sat back down and sipped my Coke. Later, Mom called our room to tell my brother and me to get ready for dinner. She said she and Dad would be down in an hour. I told Glen and then went to shower. When I came out wearing my robe, I told my brother it was his turn. I put on one of my new sundress over a new set of matching underwear Mom and I bought for the trip. Before slipping into the dress, I looked at myself in the mirror. I pushed my breasts up, admiring the way the sheer bra made them look. Giggling, I remembered our shopping trip, and Mom's reacted when she realized I grew a cup size. Now my bras were thirty-four C, but not by much. Glen came out of the bathroom wearing his slacks. I watched him put on a polo shirt and told him to tuck it in. He finished dressing while I went back into the head to fix my short brown hair. I kept it cut short because of swimming. Mom and Dad came to our room. They asked what we did all afternoon and Mom shook her head when I told her. We left for one of the dining rooms to have dinner. The dining room Dad selected was buffet style. We went down the line filling our plates with some of the great looking food they offered. I found the food was as good as it looked when I started to eat. "You kids are missing a great time by staying in your rooms," Dad said. "I really wish you'd give this a chance." "Maybe tomorrow," Glen said. "So, did you and Mom run around naked all afternoon?" I said. Mom and Dad laughed. "We didn't run around, Megan," Mom said with a smirk, "and no, we weren't naked." "I don't know how you can do it," I said. "We won't know until we try it," Dad said. "As we told you two, it's something we wanted to try. Mom and I talked about this for a long time before we decided." "It would have been nice if you would have told us. That way we could decide before we got on the ship," Glen said. "Yes, we realized that now. Mom and I are sorry that we didn't give you the option," Dad said. "If you want to know the truth, there were as many people wearing suits at the pool as there were not wearing them. Your mom and I still haven't gone natural," Dad said with a grin. "Why not? I thought that's why you came on this cruise," I said. "No, we came to find out if we could do it. We probably will, but we haven't yet. Your father and I are getting used to it slowly," Mom said. We ended the conversation without resolve. I was still determined that I wasn't going to go naked. I wasn't sure that I wanted to see anyone else that way, but I also didn't want to stay in the room the entire time. After dinner, we went to a stage show. They had a magician and then dancers. The show was kind of cool. At ten o'clock, Mom said that she and Dad were going to the casino. Glen and I went to our room. I changed into a long sleep shirt while my brother changed in the head. I was already in bed when he came out. We watched television for a little while and then decided to go to sleep. Glen turned off the lights and the television. I curled up with my back toward my brother. The gently motion of the ship soothed me and I began to drift asleep. I heard Glen start to snore and wondered if I would get any sleep with all the noise. ****Day 2 - New Friends The next morning I woke up and looked over at my brother. He was up, leaning against the headboard and reading one of my novels. When he saw me watching him, he blushed and put the book down. I was going to say something, but I didn't. I got out of bed to go to the head. Glen and I met our parents for breakfast. We talked about our plans for the day while we ate. I enjoyed the fresh fruit and warm Danish roll I selected. We drank coffee while Dad told Glen and me about the spa and the machines it had in it. "Your father and I are going to do some shopping and then sit by the pool," Mom said. "What are you two going to do?" "I want to check out the arcade. It looked like they have some cool games there," Glen said. "I'm going with Glen," I said. My brother and I wandered around until we found the arcade again and began playing the games. Glen and I sat next to each other in one of the car racing games and competed. He won most of the races, but I did manage to win one or two when he crashed. "Hi," I heard a girl say. I turned around and saw a girl about my age standing next to a boy that looked like her. "Hi," I replied. "I'm Jenny and this is my brother, Brad. We're from Michigan," she said. "I'm Megan. This is my brother, Glen. We're from Michigan too. Where do you guys live?" "We live in Warren, that's near Detroit," Jenny said. "Cool, we live in Harrison Township," Glen said. I was amazed that I'd meet someone that lived so close to us. I listened to Brad and Jenny talk, finding out they lived about five miles from our house. "Is this your first time on a cruise?" I asked. "It is for Glen and me." "No, we've been coming on this cruise for three years. Our parents take us every year now," Brad said. I felt kind of weird for a moment. I wondered if Jenny and her brother went nude while on the cruise. The four of us decided to get a soda. We went to one of the bars and ordered our drinks. Brad pointed at a table and we sat down. After talking about school and our neighborhoods for a little while, Glen mentioned he and I swam on the swim team. "I thought I recognized you. You dive too don't you?" Brad said. "Our schools compete." "Yeah, I dive. I swim freestyle and the breast stroke too," Glen said. "How old are you guys?" Jenny asked. "I'm eighteen, Glen will be nineteen in August," I said. Jenny giggled and said, "You two are almost a close in age as Brad and me." "How far apart are you guys?" Glen asked. "Fifteen minutes, I'm older," Jenny said. "We're twins. Brad and I are eighteen." The four of us spent the rest of the morning together. We ate lunch in one of the restaurants and then went for a walk. Brand and Jenny told Glen and me about the activities the ship offered. "There is a dance every night. You guys have to come with us," Jenny said. "Most of the old people go to the nightclub at night. The ship has a place for us. You know, kids our age." I felt like killing my brother when he said, "Do you guys ever go around naked?" "Sure, it's cool," Brad said. "It's kind of hard at first, but once you get used to it it isn't bad. There is a lot of great scenery too." Jenny poked her brother in the ribs and said, "You can be such a pig!" Jenny giggled, looked at me, and grinned. "He's right there is a lot of good scenery." Brad and Jenny laughed. Glen and I blushed and tried to be cool. A few minutes later, I found myself in the restroom with Jenny. "Don't let the boys get to you. They're just being boys. I like looking too," Jenny said. "It doesn't bother you when your brother sees you naked?" I said. "No, not anymore. We've never been very modest around each other. I guess it's different for twins. Haven't you ever seen your brother naked?" Jenny said. I blushed and shook my head. "I think Glen is cute. I hope the four of us can be friends. Most of the kids our age are stuck-up, but you and Glen seem cool," Jenny said. "Thanks, I hope we can be friends too." I didn't want to tell Jenny I'd planned to spend my time in the stateroom. When Jenny and I came out of the restroom, Brad and Glen called us over to where they sat. Jenny and I sat down and asked what was up. "We're going to the pool. Want to come with us?" Brad said. "Sure, I have to go to our room first though," Jenny said. "Why don't you and Glen get ready and meet Brad and me at our room?" Jenny gave us the number to their room. They were one deck up from Glen and me. Glen and I didn't say much on the way to our stateroom. I was wondering if Jenny and Brad were going to be naked when we went to the pool. I went into the head to change into my suit. When I came out, Glen was wearing one of his Speedo suits. We shared an uncomfortable smile, grabbed our towels, our sunscreen, and then we left. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door of the stateroom where Jenny told us to meet her. She opened the door and let Glen and me in. I glanced around, noticing the room looked exactly like ours. Much to my relief, Jenny and Brad wore suits. Jenny's bikini looked small on her. Brad, like Glen, wore a Speedo. The four of us went up to the pool, found lounges, and staked our claim. I looked around nervously. The number of people that shed some or all of their clothing increased from when Glen and I were at the pool the day before. I tried to look away, but it seemed that there was someone naked no matter where I looked. A man and woman, both of them naked, came over to where we sat. Jenny smiled and said, "Hi, Mom, hi, Dad. These are our new friends, Megan and Glen. This is my mom and dad, Mr. and Mrs. Weaver." "We're pleased to meet you," Mrs. Weaver said. I couldn't get over how relaxed Jenny's parents seemed. They acted as if they were dressed. I tried not to stare, but couldn't seem to keep from glancing at Mr. Weaver's penis. He didn't seem to care one way or another. We chatted for a moment, but I don't know about what. They said goodbye and left. A few moments later, my Mom and Dad came over. Mom didn't have her top on, but otherwise they were dressed. Well, they had on suits. Glen and I introduced Jenny and Brad. Brad got up and shook Dad's hand. "Those are my parents," Jenny said as she pointed at Mr. and Mrs. Weaver. "Joan and Larry are your parents? We met them at the casino last night," Dad said. "Yeah, they're our parents," Brad said. "Dad said he won a few bucks last night." "I didn't win anything, but Mrs. Kelly did," Dad said as he pointed at Mom. "How much did you win, Mom?" Glen said. "Not much. About fifteen dollars I guess," Mom said. "Have fun, kids. We're going to go say hi to Joan and Larry." I watched my parents walk over to where Jenny and Brad's parents were sitting. Dad and Mr. Weaver shook hands before Mom and Dad sat down to talk with them. When I turned back to our new friends, I saw that Jenny removed her top. "You should try it, Megan. It's cool being topless," Jenny said. "Yeah, and it's even better being naked," Brad said. "Stop it Brad. As I remember, you didn't get naked until the last day the first time we came on the cruise," Jenny said. "You just like looking at my cock," Brad said. Jenny giggled, nodded her head, and said, "Yeah, it's so cute." I felt my cheeks warm as I listened to Jenny and Brad. He said something about the size of his sister's breasts and she shoved her chest out. Glen and I got up and jumped in the pool. "Those two are crazy, aren't they?" Glen said. He stood in the water next to me. "You sure can't keep your eyes off Jenny's boobs, can you?" I said. I don't know why, but it bothered me that he looked at her. "I wasn't staring. Was I?" I giggled and shook my head. "Are you going to take your top off?" Glen said. I giggled and said, "Why, do you want to see my boobs?" My stomach flipped when my brother blushed and gently nodded his head. "Oh my god, you're a pervert!" I said. "I'm sorry, I guess I should have lied," Glen said. I felt like crap after he said it. "No, you shouldn't have lied. I'm sorry for calling you a pervert. I was teasing you," I said and I meant it. Then, I did something I hadn't done in a long time. I hugged my brother. He froze when I hugged him and then he moved away. Glen and I got out of the pool. We dried ourselves and then sat down. Brad took out a bottle of sunscreen and began applying it to his sister's back. She was on her stomach while her brother ran his slippery hands over her body. Jenny flipped over and I thought Brad was going to continue, but he gave the bottle to Jenny. She smeared the lotion over her body, rubbing her breasts when she did. I took the sunscreen out of my bag. After doing my front, I glanced at Glen. Smiling, I handed him the sunscreen and asked him to do my back. I stretched out on the lounge chair on my stomach and waited. Glen poured some of the lotion on my back, causing me to flinch. He started spreading it on my warm flesh and I sighed. Having his hands gliding over me caused my body to react the same way it did when Don touched my breasts. As Glen moved his hands slowly, I felt myself tingling between my legs and tried to fight off the feeling. Glen moved to my legs and spread the sunscreen over the backs of my thighs and lower legs. I closed my eyes and enjoyed his tender touch. Glen finished and I opened my eyes to look up at him. My gaze caught his crotch and I noticed the bulge in his tight Speedo. He quickly sat on his lounge and then flipped onto his stomach. Without him asking, I put lotion on my brother's back. I could feel his muscles flex under my fingers as I massaged the sunscreen into his strong shoulders. When I reached his thighs, I felt Glen quiver. He squirmed on the lounge as my hands moved up and down his muscular legs. I didn't say anything after I finished. Lying down, I glanced at Jenny and noticed the big grin on her face. I diverted my eyes and looked around at some of the other guests. My thoughts shifted to what I'd done in one of my fantasies. In this one, my lover carried me to bed and ravished me. I felt my pussy tingle much the way it did when my brother rubbed my back and legs. Finally, I jumped up and dived into the pool, hoping the cool water would clear my head. Jenny joined me in the pool. She and I stood at one end of the pool. I couldn't help glancing at her naked boobs. Jenny giggled, but didn't say anything about it. "Your brother is hot, Megan," Jenny said. I giggled and said, "So is Brad." Brad was cute, but I didn't think he was as good looking as Glen. "Have you ever fooled around with your brother?" Jenny asked. "NO! How can you say such a thing?" I said indigently. Jenny just giggled. "Come on, you mean to tell me you never played doctor or anything like that?" "Well, yeah, but that was when we were like five," I said. I couldn't ask the question that was on my mind. "Are you and Glen going to the dance tonight?" Jenny asked. "I guess so." "Cool, we'll have fun. We should meet there at about eight," Jenny said. "I think Brad and I are going to take off for a while. Our parents want to take us shopping this afternoon. We'll be in port in a few minutes." Jenny and I got out of the pool. We toweled dry and then headed for our rooms. I noticed Jenny didn't bother to put her top on. Glen and I took turns in the shower. I dressed in shorts and a midriff top. Brad put on a pair of shorts and a tank top. I slipped into my sandals and we went to our parents' room. Glen knocked on the door, telling Mom it was us when she asked. When we went into the room, I gasped. Mom was naked. She smiled and walked to the head as calmly as if she were fully dressed. "We're getting used to being without clothes," Dad said. He sat on the bed in his boxers. "Mom and I wanted to try it at the pool today, but I couldn't gather the nerve." "Mom didn't seem to have any trouble," I said. Sticking her head out the door of the head, Mom said, "I was only topless. Everyone has breasts. Some of those men have bigger boobs than I do." "I think women should be able to go topless if they want to," Glen said. "Yeah, you would," I said, stopping before I called him a pervert again. "That's not what I mean, Meg. Men go places without a shirt and women can't? Isn't that discrimination?" Glen said. "Yes it is," Mom shouted from the head. She came out wearing her top and shorts. "Its discrimination and it shouldn't be allowed." "I don't want to run around topless," I said. "I'm not saying you have to. I'm just saying a woman should have the choice the same as men do," Mom said. "I think all of this nudity stuff is making you crazy, Mom," I said. Mom laughed and said, "Maybe you think so, but I think it's helping me learn about myself." "How so, Mom?" Glen said. "Well, I'm learning what I'm capable of. I never knew I could sit around the pool topless until I tried it. I also never knew how much I would like it," Mom said. "Wasn't it embarrassing?" I said. "Yes, at first it was, Meg. It took a few minutes for me to get used to it. After a little while, I didn't even realize I was topless. I can only assume it will be the same when I try going completely naked," Mom said. "Are you going to do it too, Dad?" Glen asked. "I haven't decided yet, but I might try it tomorrow. The thing you have to remember is that there's no pressure. We can do whatever we feel comfortable with," Dad said. "It's the same as most things in life. You do what you want, not what someone else wants you to do." "We have to do what the teachers tell us to do," I said. "Yes you do, but that isn't what I'm talking about. I have to do what my boss tells me to do too, but I don't have to do it if I feel it's wrong. You can talk to your principal, counselor, or us if your teacher tells you to do something you feel is wrong. I can change jobs. In life, we have to make choices all the time." Ten Day Cruise "Like what Mom told me about sex," I said. "What did she tell you?" "She said only I could decide when and with who. Mom said that it was up to me, but I had to live with my decision," I said. "Dad told me no means no," Glen said. "You're both right," Mom said and then she chuckled. "However, it's the same in reverse. If a boy tells a girl no, she should stop like he should if a girl says no. There shouldn't be a double standard." "Like going topless?" Glen said. Mom and Dad laughed. I gave my brother a dirty look. "Yes, Glen, like going topless. If a woman wants to, she should be able to do the same things as a man. How would you like it if they said swimming was a man's sport, Meg?" Mom said. "That's different," I said. "No it isn't. There's no difference at all. Years ago, women couldn't wear long pants in public. Women couldn't vote either. There are still things that are unjust, but it's getting better all the time. If women want to be equal, they have to fight for their rights no matter what it is," Mom said. "Let's go before it's too late," Dad said. "We're on vacation and should be having fun, not trying to resolve the world's problems." We left the ship and went to the shopping area. Mom and I found cute outfits at one of the straw markets. We bought matching bra tops and wrap around skirts. Dad and Glen found tee shirts with the name of the port on them. In one of the shops, Dad picked up a bottle of rum. He showed it to Mom. She nodded and told him to get two so they could take one home with them. "How about us, can we have a bottle of rum too?" Glen said and then he laughed. Dad grabbed a bottle and took it to the counter with the two bottles he selected. "Don't get drunk and sick," Dad said, surprising my brother and me. "You don't care if we drink the rum?" I said. "No, not as long as you take it easy and don't drink too much at one time. I would suggest mixing it with cola," Dad said. I couldn't understand the changes in my parents, but I didn't question them. I decided they must be going through one of those midlife things I'd read about in my novels. Then I began to wonder if they were having affairs. In some of the stories I read, husbands and wives cheated on each other because they felt their lives became stale. We went back to the ship and then to dinner. Mom and Dad saw Jenny's parents in the dining room so we sat with them. Glen, Brad, Jenny and I talked about what we saw when we were ashore. Our parents made plans to go to one of the casinos on the island that night. After dinner, Glen and I went back to our room. We had a couple hours before we were to meet Brad and Jenny for the dance. Brad put the bottle of rum on the table and then sat down. "I can't believe Dad bought the rum for us," Glen said as he flopped back on his bed. "I can't believe they said we could drink it. Glen, do you think everything is okay between Mom and Dad?" I said. "Yeah, why do you ask?" "I don't know. They're acting weird, aren't they?" "I think they're being cool, Meg. They seem to be having a great time," my brother said. He rolled on his side and propped his head on his hand. "I didn't know Mom was so animated about woman's rights." "I knew she felt men and women should be equal, but not that she thought women should be able to go topless." "Well, where does the equality start and stop? Like you said, you don't want to go topless, but shouldn't you have the right to do it if you wanted to?" I shrugged my shoulders. Glen turned the television on and began flipping through the channels. I tried to decide what to wear to the dance. After thinking about it for a few moments, I called Jenny. She told me she was wearing a skirt and tank top to the dance. We talked about our outfits to make sure we didn't end up wearing the same colors. At a quarter to eight, Glen and I headed to the dance. There was a teen nightclub setup for activities for kids our age. Jenny and Brad met my brother and me outside the room and we went in together. We found a table near the dance floor and sat down. A disk jockey began playing rock and roll music so Jenny and I got up and danced together. After a few songs, we went back to the table. A slow song came on and Brad asked me to dance. I told him I would if Glen danced with Jenny. The four of us went out and began to dance. The small dance floor was crowded and we kept bumping into other kids. Brad held me close with his hands behind my back. I held him with my arms around his neck. When the song ended, we waited to see what the DJ would play next. When the music began again, it was another slow song. "I'm going to dance with Jenny this time," Brad said. He took his sister in his arms and began to move. Glen came over to me and looked in my eyes. I smiled and nodded my head. He put his arms around me as he would with a girlfriend. I felt myself stiffen, but I put my arms around his neck. Glen pulled me close, closer than Brad did and began to move. I relaxed and started to follow his lead. It surprised me when I found how well my brother danced as he moved me around the floor as if I were floating on air. I rested my head against his shoulder and let Glen lead. The song ended and a fast song began. Glen stepped away from me and started to dance. Giggling, I danced with him. Jenny and Brad joined us and we all danced together. The dance ended at eleven o'clock. We were having a great time and didn't want the night to end. Jenny suggested we take a walk on the deck. The four of us went up to the main deck and walked around. We could see the lights of the port on one side of the ship and the stars in the sky on the other side. Jenny stopped to gaze out on the water. Brad stood next to her. Glen and I stood a few feet away and talked about how much fun we had at the dance. "I didn't know you could dance like that," I said. "You were great." "Thanks, you're fun to dance with too," Glen said. "I don't know why, but I find dancing easy." "Brad is okay, but you're better." Glen chuckled and said, "Yeah, that's what Jenny said too." "Do you like her?" "I think she's nice. She told me she has a boyfriend though. Jenny made it sound like she wouldn't mess around." "That's cool. I don't think people should fool around if they're going with someone. How about you and Karen?" I said. "We're not going steady or anything. She dates other guys." I knew Karen dated other boys, but I didn't know that Glen knew. "What do you guys want to do now?" Jenny said. "We could play cards or something if you want to." "That sounds like fun," Glen said. "Where do you want to go?" "We can play in our room," Brad said. "My dad bought us a bottle of rum today." "Really? Our dad bought us one too," Glen said. "Have your parents done that before?" "Yeah, we can drink once in a while. We have to make sure we don't get loaded though," Jenny said. "Our parents let us have wine with dinner at home too." We went to Brad and Jenny's room. On the way, we bought cans of Coke. Brad went to get a bucket of ice while Jenny pushed the two beds together, and then Brad and Glen mixed drinks for us. We all tasted them and I giggled. It was only the second time I had alcohol. "This is good," I said. "I've never had rum before. In fact, this is only the second time I had booze. The first time was at a sleepover. The girl made orange juice and vodka for everyone. We only had one because she didn't want her parents to miss the booze." "I've had beer before," Glen said. Jenny dealt the cards. We started playing crazy eights. After a few games, Brad made us another drink. I noticed that I was feeling funny from the booze, but didn't say anything. "This is good rum." Brad held up the bottle. "Its one-fifty-one." "What does that mean?" I asked. "It means it's strong," Jenny said and then she giggled. "I'm already feeling it." "Alcohol is rated by its proof. If it were pure alcohol, it would be two hundred proof. Most booze is around eighty proof and some is one hundred proof. This is about seventy-five percent alcohol," Brad said. "Like I said, it's strong," Jenny said. "We better watch out or we'll get drunk." We finished our second drink. Brad poured us sodas without booze. We continued to play cards for a little while longer. "Want to play strip poker?" Jenny said. "This is getting boring." "I'll play," Brad said. I looked at my brother. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll play if Meg wants to." Why did he leave it up to me, I thought to myself. Glen knew I didn't want to get naked, but I didn't want to be a prude either. I had enough rum to remove some of my reservations and I found myself shrugging my shoulders. "Okay, here are the rules. The lowest hand has to take something off. If you don't, you're out of the game. The last one wearing clothes is the winner," Jenny said. "Socks count as one piece of clothing." I did a quick inventory of what I wore. I had on four items. All of us had removed our shoes when we got on the bed. "Does everyone know how to play five card draw?" Jenny asked as she shuffled the cards. "I do," Glen said. I shook my head. "Okay, here's how it works," Brad said. He went on to explain the game to me. We played a few practice hands before we started to play in earnest. Brad lost the first hand. He removed his shirt and we all laughed. I lost the next hand and found myself sitting in my bra, skirt, and panties. After a few hands, Jenny and I were down to our undies. Brad and Glen still had their pants on. Glen lost the next hand. Jenny and I began taunting him to take off his pants. By this time, the rum had me feeling no pain. I giggled far more than normal, finding the slightest thing funny. Jenny was also giggling out of control. Jenny lost the next hand and unceremoniously removed her bra. Laughing, she shook her shoulders so her boobs jiggled. Jenny's breasts weren't as large as mine were, but they still jiggled. Glen dealt the next hand. Jenny asked for three cards and made a face when she looked at them. In the end, Jenny was naked and out of the game. She sat on the bed with her legs closed and watched her brother lose the next two hands. I lost my bra and then Glen lost the next hand. He tossed his cards on the bed and said, "Looks like Meg is the winner." "Wait a minute, you have to take off your underwear, Glen," Jenny said with a giggle. My brother groaned. He shucked his white briefs and sat there naked. I looked at his crotch and blushed. He shifted around while Jenny giggled. "Nice cock, Glen. I think you're bigger that Brad," Jenny said. "Not that size matters. It's the motion of the ocean, not the size of the ship that counts." We all laughed and dressed. Glen and I told our friends good night and headed to our stateroom. On the way, we were silent. "Are you okay?" I said when Glen and I were in our room. "Yeah, I'm embarrassed, but I'm okay," Glen said. "I didn't feel as embarrassed as I thought I would when I lost my bra," I said. By brother's face turned red and he looked away. "What's the matter?" I said. "Um, nothing. Just forget it, Meg," Glen said. He sat on his bed with his back to me. I sat next to my brother and said, "Something is wrong with you. Tell me what it is. What did I do wrong?" "You didn't do anything wrong, Meg. Just forget it, okay?" I stayed on the bed with my brother. He didn't look at me or say anything. I began to worry that he was mad at me. "Why are you mad at me? Please tell me what I did wrong, Glen." "I got excited when I saw your boobs! There, are you satisfied now?" I sat in shock for a moment. Then, I thought about what Glen said and began to giggle. "Thank you, that's nice to hear," I said because I didn't know what else to say. "I'm your brother and I shouldn't have gotten turned on when I saw you." "Maybe it was Jenny's boobs, or her, um, pussy that turned you on." "She did, but when you took off your bra I felt like my heart was going to explode. I'm just a sick fucking pervert." I didn't know if I should feel upset with my brother or feel delighted by what he said. I felt delighted. I wanted boys to think I was sexy, even if the boy was my brother. Then I thought about how I felt when Glen exposed his penis. I smiled and then I giggled. Putting my arms around Glen, I said, "I'll take that as a complement. Did you really like seeing my boobs?" Glen nodded, but didn't look at me. "I liked seeing you too you know. I haven't seen very many penises, but your's is the nicest one I have seen so far." Glen started to laugh and so did I. He finally turned around and looked at me. We continued to laugh and held our sides. "I never thought we'd be telling each other that we liked looking at the other's privates," Glen said. "Remember what Mom said. Boobs aren't really privates," I said and then we laughed again. "Well, if your privates are as nice as the rest of you, I'm sure they're great." Giggling, I got off my brother's bed. I grabbed my nightshirt and went to the head to change. When I returned, Glen was in bed. I went over to his bed, kissed his cheek, and then climbed in my own bed. "This is starting to be fun, Glen. I hope you're having a good time too," I said. "Goodnight." "I'm having fun, Meg. Goodnight," Glen said. ****Day 3 - Crossing the line The next morning Glen and I met our parents for breakfast. When Mom asked about our night, Glen and I laughed. "We went to the dance, got buzzed, and played strip poker with Jenny and Brad," I said with as straight a face as I could muster. "Who won the card game?" Mom said. "I did, Mom. I beat all three of them, but not by much," I said. "The dance was a blast," Glen said. "Yeah it was. Did you know Glen is a great dancer?" I said. "No, but maybe he'll dance with me one of these nights. Dad and I enjoyed ourselves last night too. We went to one of the casinos with Jenny and Brad's parents. We gambled and saw a show before calling it a night," Mom said. "From the looks of you two, you didn't drink too much last night," Dad said. "I can't say the same for your mom and me. We partied pretty hard." "Do you have hangovers?" Glen said. "No, but I don't think I'll want anything else to drink for a while," Mom said. "I can't wait until I can go out and get some sun today." The ship sounded its horn and began to pull away from the pier. We went out on deck to watch the captain pull away. There were a lot of people standing onshore and waving as we left. Mom and Dad told my brother and me they were going to rest in their room for a while and then go to the pool. Glen and I headed for the arcade. Jenny and Brad were waiting there for us. We spent a couple hours playing the different games. At one point, Jenny and I sat at a table drinking soda while our brothers tried to fight off invading aliens. "Brad and I didn't piss you or your brother off last night, did we?" Jenny said. "No, I had fun and so did Glen," I said. "Your brother is really cute when he's naked." "I think Brad is too." Jenny and I giggled. "Can I tell you a secret?" Jenny said. "You have to promise never to tell anyone." "Sure, who would I tell anyway?" "Brad and I have kind of fooled around before." "Really?" "Yeah, we started doing things the last time we came on one of these cruises. He just got into bed with me one night and started kissing me." "Oh my God, did you scream at him?" Jenny giggled and said, "No, I kissed him back." "Wow, I don't think I know anyone that kisses their brother," I said, realizing how stupid it sounded after I said it. "If you want to know the truth, he's better than any boy I've ever been with. I don't have to worry about him shooting his mouth off about having sex with me." "You've had sex with your brother?" I hoped my face didn't show how shocked I was. Jenny giggled and nodded her head. When she said, "I'd like to have sex with your brother too," I felt like I wanted to pound her. Then I realized I felt jealous. "Want to know what we've done?" Jenny asked. I did want to know, but I didn't want to tell Jenny. Instead of saying anything, I shrugged my shoulders. Jenny giggled and moved closer. "We used to just kiss and touch, but then I gave him a blowjob. He went down on me too. I loved it when Brad licks my snatch. This year, just before we came on this trip, we fucked for the first time." Not knowing what to say, I nodded. Jenny went on, telling me the joys of giving and receiving oral sex. From what she said, she liked intercourse, but it seemed Jenny liked the other things just as much. I read many pages about oral sex, but could never really get a grip on how it would feel to have someone licking me down there. It was also hard for me to visualize having a penis in my mouth. I knew it was not just something authors put in their stories, but it was still a foreign concept for me. "The best part is when he shoots his stuff in my mouth. I love the yummy taste and the way it feels," Jenny said. I felt my stomach churn when I realized that she was talking about her brother's semen. "That sounds yucky!" "Oh, but it isn't yucky at all, Megan. I have a couple of girlfriends that don't do it, but I do and I love it. You wouldn't believe the look on a boy's face when you let him cum in your mouth. The second best is to let him do it on your boobs," Jenny said with the sound of pride in her voice. Glen and Brad came over and sat down with Jenny and me. They talked about the games they played. Telling Jenny and me who won. While they talked, I couldn't help watching Jenny and her brother. I began to notice little things I missed before. When Jenny talked to Brad, she would put her hand on his arm. When he said something to her, he grinned. We decided to go to the pool. Glen and I went to change, agreeing to meet our friends poolside. As we walked to our stateroom, my mind reeled with the things Jenny told me. I kept glancing at Glen and wondering if he ever thought about me that way. I never had thoughts about my brother, but now things were changing. I decided to wear my new skimpy bikini. I put it on and came out of the head. Glen looked at me and a big smile formed on his face. In the past, I would have said something to him because of the look on his face. This time I posed. Glen didn't take his eyes off me as I turned around slowly. "Do you like my new bikini?" I asked, knowing the answer. "You look so hot, Meg." Hot? Did my brother just tell me I looked hot? Maybe I was getting a little over the top. I didn't want to give my brother any ideas. "Thanks, you look good in your Speedo too. But then you always have," I said. I snapped my mouth shut. Did I really say that? "Thanks, Meg." Glen grinned, but didn't blush. Then it dawned on me that Glen and Brad may have had a conversation like the one Jenny and I had. It could have been that my brother knew Brad and Jenny had sex with each other. The thought thrilled and scared me at the same time. Jenny and Brad were waiting by the pool when Glen and I arrived. We sat on the lounges they saved for us. Jenny was topless and coated with sunscreen. I glanced around, noticing there were more naked people than the day before. Feeling giddy, I gave our bottle of sunscreen to my brother. Sitting on the lounge, I turned my back to Glen. He began applying the lotion to my back and shoulders. Reaching behind me, I untied the top of my suit. I felt Glen's hand stop moving as I removed the top half of my bikini. I took a deep breath, feeling good about overcoming my fears. Glen's hand began moving again. Even though he was only touching my back, it felt different with my top off. I felt Glen's hand leave my back. Looking back, I smiled at my brother.
